My Name is Weezer

Here it is, everybody: this is Jen and Patrick at maximum friendship! Your hosts are united by the amazing shared experience of going to a Weezer concert at the beautiful Troubadour in West Hollywood. They review 16 precious minutes of audio from that evening, documenting the greatest friendship the world has ever known. Plus, Jen doesn’t want to wear her fan club shirt and Patrick is weird about money.

In this second season fina…WAIT A MINUTE! Jen and Patrick start of this episode with an exciting surprise before moving on to discuss The White Album. Jen discovers that there’s probably never been a record more attuned to her life than this one. Beyond that it’s all fun and sun and girls and God and drugs, leading up to giving up and trying struggling for meaning again tomorrow. Who COULDN’T relate?

A podcast event two years in the making: Jen and Patrick finally get to the main event, the impetus for the whole show: discussing Weezer’s ninth record, Everything Will Be Alright in the End. Along the way, they’ll discussing mourning doves, relationships with fathers, and how weird it is to be constantly revising and refining their opinions. No live shit, no bonus tracks, no Rentals - this is ALL WEEZER BABY.

Jen and Patrick have some clean-up to do, and that means discussing a compilation record, a Japanese side project and the latest from The Rentals. Patrick identifies some accidental themes in a record that clearly doesn’t have them and Jen speculates about a witch named Trampoline. Your asks pose the vital question “is China Japan?” Plus an argument about musicals and a mind-blowing discovery about the video for 1000 Seasons. Oh, and I guess they do some impressions and silly voices - it is MY NAME IS WEEZER, after all.

Jen and Patrick do whatever they can to avoid talking about Hurley! But only for so long - then it’s right down to discussing FOMO, Voting, Evanescence, Rage Against the Machine, lists of women’s names, digital collating and credit card fraud. Oh and Hurley, I guess. Plus, these bonus tracks are rad AF - including a 90 second song about insects from Yo Gabba Gabba and a River-y version of Cold Play’s Viva La Vida. And then they round it out with some Rentals talk. Rentals! And they listen to Patrick’s LOST band, Sonic Weapon Fence!

In light of last week’s neg-fest, Jen and Patrick decide it’s time to treat themselves to a little positivity. FOR ONCE. They discuss the two compilation albums that reminded mid-00s Weezer fans that there was maybe still something to love about these Raditude-spewing monsters. Patrick took notes, so you know he won’t shut up about that. Get the stories behind the songs…as relayed to you by two idiots that are probably misunderstanding the wiki. Plus a deep dissection of 17 seconds of children talking about ax guitars.

Oh no! Things get a little

Season Two of My Name is Weezer starts here! Jen and Patrick are back to discuss Weezer’s third self-titled album, colloquially referred to as “The Red Album.” Our hosts talk about silly hats, dangerous children and experiments upon experiments upon experiments. Is this record all about Rivers being an unbearable prick? And isn’t there something affirmative about that? No? WHO CAN AGREE? Plus, a little discussion baby-Rivers and bosses falling in love with their secretaries. And there’s a Christmas EP in here somewhere. Everyone likes Christmas, right?

In this Season One finale, Jen and Patrick talk about Make Believe. Also, Jen made cookies, so…apologies for the cookie-eating-noises. Tweet your own cookie-eating-noises with #cookieshark! Our hosts discuss the difference between good-stupid and bad-stupid, but can’t seem to come to any consensus on which is which. Plus a frank talk about casual racism (as it relates to a song probably about a spider) and the stunning realization that the shallowest song on the record is about Elliott Smith’s girlfriend. Oh and Patrick scolds Jen for not knowing who Elliott Smith is - not a proud moment for either of them.

Jen and Patrick, Jen and Patrick, Jen and Patrick, ENOUGH WITH JEN AND PATRICK. They’re joined this week by comedian, musician and amazing dude Greg Smith to discuss his favorite record: Maladroit! How many guitar solos can you sing along to? The My Name is Weezer crew puts that to the test! Also, Greg and Patrick discuss the relationship between music and video games.
