Two outtakes from last weeks' PLAY DISC episode about Weezer's self-titled debut album. In one, Harrison compares the music critic community's reception of Weezer to their reception of Oasis earlier in the same decade. In the other outtake, Harrison and Jon argue about whether Weezer was "emo," and what "emo" even means. Also, Harrison shares what he found when he checked in on a problematic favorite band of his from high school.

Three outtakes from last week's episode. In the first, Jon rambles on a bit about his extended family, and Harrison calls him out about the bit going nowhere. In the second, Jon mentions something that happened in 1979, prompting Harrison to wonder whether that was "the year Rock died." And in the third, Jon makes a discovery in mid-recording about Rachael Yamagata, which delights him.

Two outtakes from last week's episode. In the first, Jon fails to place an iconic lyric from the album... See, Harrison wasn't the only one who forgot lyrics; but Harrison's flub stayed in the episode because it was funnier.

In the second, Jon rants about the difficulty he had looking up Q-Tip on Wikipedia. We're happy to report that this complaint didn't make it to the final episode because Wikipedia has fixed the problem since the episode was recorded, so it's actually no longer true!

Over the course of an hour, we discuss...

In an outtake from last week's episode about The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, Harrison and Jon discuss which of the four Beatles is their favorite.

NOTE: Jon quotes an anecdote about John Lennon saying "Ringo isn't even the best drummer in the Beatles." We've since learned that this interview is fabricated, and that Lennon probably never said that.

In our second episode, Jon leads a discussion about the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, the band's second album of 1967. Jon still considers this his favorite Beatles album, and ruminates on the difference between "favorite" and "best" in this context. We also discuss...
