We interviewed Paul Leary, guitarist and founding member of the Butthole Surfers, and he walked us through each of their albums, one-by-one. Made up of core members Paul Leary, Gibby Haynes, and King Coffey, the Butthole Surfers are one of the most beloved and extraordinarily weird bands in history. But after some major-label drama in the early 00s, they are finally releasing the original version of their final album as it was intended by the band (After the Astronaut, out June 26).

This week Mike and Alex tie up some loose ends by talking about Born Stupid by the great Paul Leary. Leary is the co-founder of the Butthole Surfers (check out episode 54 for our full episode on them) and this is his first solo album in 30 years. Spoiler alert: it's weird. Afterward, we talk about music we're currently listening to, awkwardly asking musicians for photos, and River's Edge with Keanu Reeves and Crispin Glover.
