Surprise! Jen and Patrick are back to discuss Weezer's brand new, very pandemic-appropriate, record, OK Human.

Before sailing off into the sunset, Jen and Patrick discuss Weezer's super-low energy performance behind the Tiny Desk and determine once and for all: which is the better record, Blue or Pinkerton?

Notorious squares Jen and Patrick stay out past their bedtimes to see Weezer tribute band Weezerton rock out the famous Viper Room. Luckily, Rachel is there to lend a little old school rock scene cred.

Is this a sequel to the White Album? A familiar downturn for a sometimes prolific band? A reaction to a previous failure? Jen and Patrick try to place a sorta boring record into the pantheon of Weezer records.

Jen and Patrick are cursed to discuss Weezer's cover of Africa by Toto YET AGAIN, as there's now a whole half-assed album supporting it! Which of these covers qualify as hate crimes and which are just pointless?

After ten months of silence, Jen and Patrick return with a NUMBERED LIST of things to talk about. One of those numbers? Weezer's biggest hit ever isn't even one of their songs. Weezer's cover of Africa by Toto is everywhere, and now it's even on this podcast! Plus, a Weezerton show in Fullerton! Another Weezer podcast! Toto covering Hashpipe! The S…

Self-proclaimed Weezer experts Jen and Patrick have not yet been able to make themselves listen to the new Weezer record, so they're sitting down with YOU (and a few drinks) to give it the old college try. Make sure you're not driving, pregnant, or operating heavy machinery, and then crack open a beer and join in.…

"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I…

Hold on to your regularly-washed butts, Jen and Patrick are back to weigh in on the newest Green Day record on their podcast that is only ever about Weezer (and things directly related to Weezer)! It’s an historic episode-recording falling squarely the Chicago Cubs World Series win and the 2016 Presidential election, so naturally they talk a lot ab…

Jen asked Patrick to go to the Green Day concert. He said “sure.” Not only did that ruin the “El Scorcho” joke, he didn’t even go. Whatever man! Who wants to go to a 4:30 PM concert anyway? (1:00 in the morning or GTFO.) Plus! Jen and Patrick talk about the Deluxe Edition of the White album featuring “I Love the USA”, a remix of “Jacked Up” and two…

Jen and Patrick close out their series of conversations about movies-with-Weezer-songs-on-the-soundtrack with the 1995 classic: Mallrats. True to tradition, they are joined by one of their friends -- actor and comedian Joe Gehart -- to sort through all the casual 90s misogyny. They discuss their own hometown malls, whether we could tell which was t…

First thing’s first: Pinkerton has gone platinum! After heaping praise on the little record that could, Jen and Patrick turn their attention to the difficult task of making 10-song playlists from the 2000s. That’s Green, Maladroit, Make Believe, Red, Raditude, Hurley, boiled down into one Weezer-record sized playlist. How’d they do? Are their lists…

Jen and Patrick are beset on all sides by maladies! Patrick’s getting over a cold and Jen’s got a little bit of a tummy ache. Plus, she’s suffering from some weekend jet-jag and gradually gets more sleepy as the show progresses. But there are topics to discuss! Topics like Brian Bell’s side project, The Relationship, and their 2009 eponymous (that’…

Back in 1999, the first -- and to date, only -- Homie song was released. Sure, the song may have been buried behind two other credits songs at the end of Disney’s failed foray into the goofy surfer buddy comedy genre, Meet the Deedles staring Paul Walker and Steve Van Wormer. But no reference to Weezer is too obscure for My Name is Weezer hosts Jen…

It’s time for adventures in the sorta-suburbs as Jen and Patrick take the 5 freeway down to Huntington Beach for the Rockstar Beer Festival, featuring beer (obviously) and Weezer tribute band - Weezerton. This episode is not for the faint of heart as there’s honest-to-God dog vomiting on it. Plus, Jen and Patrick discuss their plans for their five-…

After an upsetting conversation about slurping, Jen and Patrick slurp some ramen and catch up on life, love and Weezer. Between slurps, they discuss this weekend’s Weezerton concert (again), Pokemon Go (also again) and lines from movies that just aren’t jokes. Plus, see what happens when two people realize that they’re having a regular-ass conversa…

LA-10s Jen and Patrick apply their expertise of all things Weezer to clown princes of 90’s pop punk, Blink 182. It’s clean production, catchy choruses and an avalanche stupid jokes (and not just from your hosts). Plus, Patrick flashes back to high school for a follow-up on that story of teenage love and heartbreak that started in the Green episode.…

On July 20th, 2016, Smash Mouth played a free show at The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. What does that have to do with Weezer? Jen and Patrick aren’t quite sure, but it sounds like an ironic good time, right? SomeBODY could have told them that it’s not a whole lot of fun to see four washed-up rockers playing hits from 30 years ago. (All com…

There are no surprises left in the world: Ryan Mogge crashes the ‘cast to help bonehead Weezer fans Jen and Patrick talk about Angus, the movie featuring a miserable fat teen and at least one (arguably two) Weezer songs. The discuss bullying and social strata in their own high school experiences before shouting about who among them is the worst fem…

Jen and Patrick are back, and like any other pair of human beings, they have to talk about Pokemon Go before they’re allowed to discuss anything else. But then it’s right down to the bizarre “Not Alone” DVD and it’s somehow-even-more-bizarre special features. Plus your hosts discuss baseball, guns and bald eagles - making this the informal My Name …

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.

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 strugg…

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 l…

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 argumen…

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 fro…

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 st…

Oh no! Things get a littleawkward when Jen and Patrick confront each other about notsupporting each other’s bits! But that’s okay: fire and friendshipfly when your hosts decide to get drunk and rag on Raditude. What’sthe matter? Can’t stop partying?

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 af…

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 r…

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 m…

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…

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. Als…

Jen and Patrick spend some minutes remembering their first impressions of Pinkerton. After those minutes, THEY DIG DEEP into all the hard rocking, embarrassingly personal lyrics of Weezer’s second album. Plus, Patrick fills Jen in on the lyrics to Butterfly, filling her with dismay. Dismay! Boy, do things get uncomfortable as Jen and Patrick try to…

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 hy…

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to My Name Is Weezer, the podcast where the hosts remind you that you’re listening to a podcast. It’s all about Weezer, but it’s really about two adults exploring their childhood fascination with the band. 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. …
