My Name Is Weezer

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.My Name is Weezer does not own Weezer's music. Their music is solely used for commentary.

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.My Name is Weezer does not own Weezer's music. Their music is solely used for commentary.

Taking us back to 2001, Patrick walks through all the high school drama that led him to picking up a copy of the Green album at the Virgin Records megastore in Times Square. In their discussion of the record itself, they realize that there are a grand total zero guitar solos on this record. Also, Jen vomits during Island In The Sun. So, why do they both sorta like it?My Name is Weezer does not own Weezer's music. Their music is solely used for commentary.

Sometimes a Weezer show needs to contain absolutely no talk about Weezer, and this is one of those times. Never fear, there are a million other things to talk about during the band’s hiatus - like the Rentals concert the hosts attended in 2014! You’re also going to be hard pressed to find more conversation about the Meet the Deedles soundtrack. Also discussed here: The Rentals’ Seven More Minutes, Homie, and Pat Wilson’s Special Goodness.My Name is Weezer does not own Weezer's music. Their music is solely used for commentary.

Oh man, how can anyone follow up the such a hugely successful first outing? Am I referring to Weezer or this podcast? YOU DECIDE. Either way, the answer is to retreat into weirdness. Jen and Patrick scrape together demos and B-sides to explore the fabled album-that-could-have-been: Songs from the Black Hole. They discuss scary singing robots and hypothetical cats named Moog. Plus, a frank discussion of the plot of Angus, which neither host has seen. Then, they wrap it all up with a discussion of Matt Sharp’s first outing without Rivers (oh no!): Return of the Rentals.My Name is Weezer does not own Weezer's music.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to My Name Is Weezer, the podcast where the hosts remind you that you’re listening to a podcast.

Find out who’s cool, who’s down with the streets, and maybe learn a thing or two about the Weezer while you’re at it. They discuss what drumming in a kitchen must sound like, where Stoner Street is, and the first self-titled album (Blue).My Name is Weezer does not own Weezer's music.
