Today, we talk about a very short EP that was never released to the general public, but rather, only for a video game. -------------------- Music used throughout the show created by Jair Driesenga Follow him @brotherjair on Instagram, Facebook, Bandcamp, and Youtube.

Spend a Christmas with Chris + Chris as they listen to "Christmas With Weezer" for the very first time! Recorded live at a party Christmas night, Chris + Chris (+ Friends!) ramble their way through their most misguided and misinformed episode yet. So if most episodes leave you thinking, "why did they leave that in?" or "why are they so very stupid and annoying??" then this is NOT the episode for you. But if you want to hear some good friends enjoying a Christmas party together, telling stories, and listening to some Weezer jams then you've come to the right place! But be forewarned, this one is particularly NSFW...
The tradition continues as the guys are graced with the presence of Franco Fiorini once more for a very special holiday episode. They dig into Dickens' seminal novel "A Christmas Carol" Weezer's collection of Christmas EP's and Sierra Nevada's incredible "Celebration Ale." The traditions and history of the season are examined with accompaniment from some strong ales and opinions (on Weezer). Enjoy! And all the best in 2019!
Ep. 50. "Silent Night" is the last track on the Christmas With Weezer EP. John takes it as an opportunity to reflect on why he likes this EP, what the detractors have to say about it, and why he thinks it's sneakily one of the band's best Post-Pinkerton projects.

Ep. 49. On today's show, John talks about "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," why Pat Wilson's love of his iPhone helped lead to Christmas With Weezer, and why this project made him think about, of all things, the Weezer Snuggie. LISTEN: 1. "Hark!

Ep. 48. "The First Noel" is the fourth track on the Christmas With Weezer EP, and the focus of today's new episode. John explains who is responsible for the instrumentation given that Rivers Cuomo didn't pick up a guitar at these sessions, and why 2008 was the perfect time for such a different approach to a Weezer recording.

Ep. 47. "O Holy Night" is a familiar Christmas carol, but not one many would think to be a fit for a band like Weezer. Quite often featured on Christmas albums as a vocal showcase, the song is the most challenging task Rivers Cuomo faced on the Christmas With Weezer EP. On today's episode, John talks about how he fared. LISTEN: 1. "O Holy Night" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube LYRICS: 1. "O Holy Night" at Genius.com MORE INFO: 1. "O Holy Night" at Weezerpedia 2.

Ep. 46. "O Come All Ye Faithful" is the second track on Christmas With Weezer, the EP that began its life as an iPhone application. On today's show, John talks about the band's version of this famous carol and why Rivers Cuomo plays a different role than usual on these recordings. LISTEN: 1.
