My Name is Weezer

Surprise! Jen and Patrick are back to discuss Weezer's brand new, very pandemic-appropriate, record, OK Human.

Before sailing off into the sunset, Jen and Patrick discuss Weezer's super-low energy performance behind the Tiny Desk and determine once and for all: which is the better record, Blue or Pinkerton?

Notorious squares Jen and Patrick stay out past their bedtimes to see Weezer tribute band Weezerton rock out the famous Viper Room. Luckily, Rachel is there to lend a little old school rock scene cred.

Is this a sequel to the White Album? A familiar downturn for a sometimes prolific band? A reaction to a previous failure? Jen and Patrick try to place a sorta boring record into the pantheon of Weezer records.

Jen and Patrick are cursed to discuss Weezer's cover of Africa by Toto YET AGAIN, as there's now a whole half-assed album supporting it! Which of these covers qualify as hate crimes and which are just pointless?

"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man." --Patrick reading River's Cuomo quoting Zhuang. Somehow this all relates to a new Weezer record.

Jen and Patrick return from their extended recess to process the two new singles off the forthcoming Pacific Daydream. Not hearing guitar solos, but those lyrics are the right kind of dumb.

Hold on to your regularly-washed butts, Jen and Patrick are back to weigh in on the newest Green Day record on their podcast that is only ever about Weezer (and things directly related to Weezer)! It’s an historic episode-recording falling squarely the Chicago Cubs World Series win and the 2016 Presidential election, so naturally they talk a lot about dog farts. Green Day’s slick but meaningless political record puts both Jen and Patrick into kind of a funk - can they get out it? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

Jen asked Patrick to go to the Green Day concert. He said “sure.” Not only did that ruin the “El Scorcho” joke, he didn’t even go. Whatever man! Who wants to go to a 4:30 PM concert anyway? (1:00 in the morning or GTFO.) Plus! Jen and Patrick talk about the Deluxe Edition of the White album featuring “I Love the USA”, a remix of “Jacked Up” and two new songs! Man, that I Love the USA is a weird song, huh? Ripping guitar solo though.
