Ep. 80.

Ep. 79. John is back with a brand new episode about one of his favorite Post-Pinkerton songs EVER!

Ep. 74.

Ep. 61. "Where's My Sex?" is a song inspired by Rivers Cuomo's daughter, Mia. But if that makes it sound like you're about to hear a sweet and sappy episode, well, you're quite mistaken.

Ep. 52. When last week's episode was released, the album that features "Happy Together" was a mystery to us.

Ep. 50. "Silent Night" is the last track on the Christmas With Weezer EP.

Ep. 42. "Dreamin'" is not a perfect song, but it's one of the more interesting ones we'll ever cover on the show. On today's episode, John discusses the amazing bridge, what about this song reminds him of "Across the Sea," and pizza bagels. Yes: pizza bagels. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 41. "Diamond Rings" never made it onto Maladroit, but it speaks volumes about what did and didn't work in this period of Weezer's work in and out of the studio. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 40. Let's not beat around the bush: "Oh Lisa" is one of the worst Weezer songs ever. John discusses why this B-Side misses the mark, and how it was the first Green Album era song some fans heard despite only being officially released as a B-side. LISTEN: 1. "Oh Lisa" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube LYRICS: 1. "Oh Lisa" at Genius.com MORE INFO: 1. "Oh Lisa" at Weezerpedia 2. The Green Album at Weezerpedia 3. "Island in the Sun" at Weezerpedia
Ep. 39. I think it's safe to say that today's episode will have more Shrek talk than any other episode you'll hear from this series. John discusses "My Best Friend," its history with the animated film Shrek 2, and why this song wasn't on Make Believe ... until it was. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 38. Summer Songs 2000 isn't an official album, and not something the band was planning to revisit until fans demanded it. But there are songs from this time period that didn't make the official unofficial release. "Ev'ry Night" is one such song. John talks about how this minor work illustrates the way the band was gently beginning to re-shape its own narrative. LISTEN: 1. "Ev'ry Night" on YouTube 2.

Ep. 37. "I've Had It Up To Here" is the fifth track off of Everything Will Be Alright in the End, a return to form for the band and John's favorite Post-Pinkerton album. In discussing this song, John makes the case that it helps illuminate how the guy who wrote Pinkerton isn't as different from the guy who wrote Raditude as you might think. LISTEN: 1. "I've Had It Up To Here" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 2. "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 3.

Ep. 36. "Any Friend of Diane's" is the only Weezer song named after an episode of Cheers. That's only one of many facts you'll learn about this song, the final track on the band's most recent album. John is joined by Richard Sallis, the lead vocalist of The Cameraman, to talk about not only the song, but his Weezer cover album Somebody's Daydream. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 35. "Private Message" saw a lot of iterations in its lifespan as an Album 5 Demo. It's been a Weezer demo written by Rivers Cuomo, a demo re-worked with piano, a demo re-worked as acoustic, a song given to Brian Bell and The Relationship, and then a song stripped down and re-born as a Brian Bell original. John walks you through every step of this song's lifespan on today's show. LISTEN: 1. "Private Message" (April 2002 demo) on YouTube 2.

Ep. 34. "All My Friends Are Insects" is an unusual Post-Pinkerton track for many reasons: it's not written by any band members, it's for children, and ... it's almost universally loved by the fans. John is joined by returning guest Diana Metzger -- and his daughter! -- to talk about Weezer's one and only appearance on Yo Gabba Gabba! LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 33. John is joined by Diana Metzger of Brightest Young Things to discuss "Don't Let Go," her favorite track off of The Green Album. Diana talks about what this song means to her, the extent of her relationship with the band over the years, and why the tweaked version of the song the band started performing live doesn't do it for her.

Ep. 32. The common joke about "Misstep" is that it was, well, a misstep for the band. But, more than anything, this demo illustrates the ways that Weezer's experimental recording process in 2001 and 2002 constrained their ability to play around by publicizing almost all of their studio work. LISTEN: 1. "Misstep" (April 2002) on YouTube 2. "Misstep" (July 2002) on YouTube LYRICS: 1. "Misstep" at Genius.com MORE INFO: 1. "Misstep" at Weezerpedia 2. Album 5 Demos at Weezerpedia 3.

Ep. 31. "Trampoline" is a song from the mysterious Weezer period of the late 1990s, but fans didn't get to hear it until it surfaced on the compilation Death to False Metal in 2010. Learn about the song's history on today's show, and how it illuminates both sides of the "Is this an album?" debate raging amongst diehard Weezer fans since Death to False Metal's release. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 30. "I Wanna Know" is one of Weezer's most forgettable songs, which is why John and his guest Scott Auth (I Miss the Old Weezer) spend most of the episode talking about their Top 5 songs that evoke the classic 1990s Weezer sound.

Ep. 29. John welcomes Scott Auth (I Miss the Old Weezer blog) to the show to discuss "Fake Smiles and Nervous Laughter," what it has to do with the band Wavves, the specific way it invokes Pinkerton, and the broader ways it plays around with the '90s Weezer sound.

Ep. 28. "Preacher's Son" is a curious song in Weezer's history, because while it's ostensibly in some part about Rivers Cuomo's relationship with his father, the song mostly avoids talking about that relationship at all. LISTEN: 1. "Preacher's Son" on YouTube 2. "Say It Ain't So" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 3. "Storm" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube LYRICS: 1. "Preacher's Son" at Genius.com 2.

Ep. 27. "Memories" holds a strange place amongst Weezer's Post-Pinkerton work: dismissed by fans upon release, only to later inspire what might be the band's most beloved tour of the Post-Pinkerton era. John discusses all of this, plus the song's connection to the cast and crew of the Jackass franchise. LISTEN: 1. "Memories" (Hurley version) on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 2.

Ep. 26. If you like Weezer demos, then you've come to the right episode, because we've got a bunch of them in today's show about "Burndt Jamb." The Maladroit track started as a silly parody of jam bands and evolved into something much different during album production. John tracks the journey -- and explains why we even have access to all of these recordings -- during today's show. LISTEN: 1. "Burndt Jamb" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube 2.

Ep. 25. John is once again joined by Alex Rice, co-host of the Bruce Springsteen Song of the Week podcast, to discuss "The Organ Player," a demo from Weezer's scrapped fifth album sessions.

Ep. 23. Weezer kicks off a nationwide tour with the Pixies this weekend, so what better way to celebrate than with Weezer's cover of The Pixies' "Velouria." John discusses why this song was so important to the start of the Post-Pinkerton and which famous musician thinks this is the best Pixies cover of all-time. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 22. "Feels Like Summer" is a song that initially existed between albums, later becoming the lead single from PACIFIC DAYDREAM, the band's most recent album. Today, John talks about the song, why he's avoided that album to this point on the show, and what the song does to split casual and diehard fans apart. LISTEN: 1.

Ep. 21. On the eve of the 2018 World Cup, John revisits "My Day Is Coming," a song Rivers Cuomo wrote about the 2006 US Men's National Soccer Team. Cuomo was asked to write an anthem for the team, but wound up writing a ballad about hope in the wake of failure. LISTEN: 1. "My Day Is Coming" on Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube LYRICS: 2.

Ep. 19. Jenna Hall joins the show to talk about a favorite song off of a favorite album -- yup, Jenna is a Maladroit fan and "Fall Together" lover. Pretty unusual amongst Weezer fans.

Ep. 18. "Crazy One" is a Rivers Cuomo demo from 1998 written in the aftermath of a relationship he screwed up.

Ep. 17. We're making a bit of history on the show today, covering the first of only a few Weezer songs not written or co-written by Rivers Cuomo.

Ep. 12. John is once again joined by his longtime friend Nick Klinger to talk about "We Are All On Drugs," a single off of the 2005 album Make Believe. Why did Nick want to discuss it?
