Weezer

Is it

kind of like a Weezer thing too? Like, you know, I'm a big green album guy of Weezer.

I love that album.

But apparently everybody hates it.

I'm like, well, I just turned 40.

So no, I'm not.

But I liked the Green Album is how I got into Weezer.

Because at that time, I'm a teenager.

[laughs]

... and the Green Album is the best Weezer album, that we know don't make sense-

[laughs]

...

What's the word I'm looking for? High profile, especially thanks to Metallica, right? The other thing that kind of solidified this, Scott, in 2001 was the release of the iPod.

That really shifted things towards digital media MP3s, man, right? Well, in 2001, we also have the Green Album by Weezer.

This is track number three, Scott, Hash Pipe.

And what I don't know is if this song killed rock and roll, which is precisely why we have to go through all these shenanigans so that we can ascertain that knowledge.

They are gratuitous boomerism, excessive misogyny, wanton whiteness, malignant machismo, and culture vulturism.

Rico, the band is horrible.

wheezer the song is hash pipe the album is it's just green it's just the green album yeah it's a color it's

yeah

For the 2001, uh, Patriots team that's reuniting on, uh, Sunday.

By the way, uh, this, uh, the Green Album's fantastic.

This is a great one.

Matter of fact, I remember my two favorite albums that came out that year, two of them were this and I believe, um, Tool's Lateralus came out in 2001.

I, I do not wanna hurt your feelings.

I'm just saying the th- like the three albums that I've listened to are, uh, 1994 Blue album, '96, um, Pinkerton, and then, what is it? 2001 Green album.

Mm-hmm.

And Green album, while not, like, amazing, was still super fun.

Yeah.

It was super fun.

You wanna, you wanna hear a, a secret?

Yes.

Um, just like you guys, I started off, um, watching them on, um, MTV on the Buddy Holly video.

And in '99 I had moved to Houston, and I found out that they were coming to a little club called, uh, called Numbers, and this was a time in between Pinkerton and the Green Album.

And this was kind of a nightclub setting.

And this is when Ticketmaster was still at Kroger's, so I went to work early, and the pharmacist let me wait in line to get my tickets, so, which was pretty cool.

The funny thing is I've listened to three and a half of their albums.

[laughs] Like, I've listened to the first two a million times, and I've listened to the Green Album a little bit, and I think the Red Album, a couple albums after that, and that was about it.

Um, we talked about that the last pod-

So-

Like, if both of those bands had never made any questionable s- uh, choices.

[laughs] Um, and, and, and, and still, and those are two bands that I still love and listen to all the time, but when people, they think about the stuff that really like made Weezer click for them, it's usually the Blue Album, Pinkerton, maybe Green Album.

Um, a- and then select- And then, and then the EPs after that, because that's all [laughs] just those- Yeah, the s- the select, select moments.

And you know, Green Day, like the, you know, the, the stuff that made them the biggest band in the world, that's basically what Airbag are.
