Based on Nothing

To celebrate their tenth grueling episode, Mal joins Jacob and Spenser for crazy discussions. The three of them beg the question of when to appropriately wash pants, and just why USA welcomes characters but nothing else, among other bizarre conversation you can always count on here at Based on Nothing.

In the fifth episode, Tired of Weezer hosts Spenser and Layne trudge through the band's biggest album, Make Believe. They discuss Rivers' insistence of playing cover songs, how awful this album is, and "Beverly Hills" being what's wrong with everything in the universe. Also, Spenser loses his mind by trying to explain an alternate universe theory about Weezer to Layne.

In the third episode, Tired of Weezer conquers Weezer's second self-titled album commonly known as The Green Album. Layne and Spenser try to understand the mystery of "Crab," the Mary Kate and Ashley movie comeback, bassist Scott Shriner vs. Mikey Welsh, and then Layne listens to Cold's "Stupid Girl," a song Rivers Cuomo wrote for the band. It's a hoot and a little bit longer than the actual Green album. Enjoy.
