Folks this is a very special episode! Today we've got a 2 hour conversation about our beloved BLUE ALBUM with the great Jason Cropper, former guitarist and founding member of Weezer alongside Rivers, Pat and Matt. Jason was there while these songs were being written, arranged and recorded - heck, he even wrote the famed intro to "My Name Is Jonas" - and he's here to share all of his memories about these amazing songs and his time in the band. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

Rivers and Jason perform "My Name is Jonas" and "No One Else" live in 2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w__bNvhVZpg
