Hey, beautiful human. Thanks for letting us into your ears.

We're about to talk with the Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and A.J.R.

This is a very special conversation. These guys have never been in the same room talking like this ever before. They've worked together three times. We're going to dissect all of it. This is, yeah, just truly a one-of-a-kind conversation. And I'm really happy that you're joining us. Please subscribe to this podcast, share it with those you care about. And yeah, here's Rivers Cuomo and AJR.

Yo, we are here in the studio.

Very exciting.

This is, like, almost overwhelming that I'm not looking at you all through some weird screen,

but it's incredibly special.

We have in the studio, Rivers Cuomo, Weezer, and we have AJR.

You all have worked together two times now, which is such a, thank you.

Sober Up starts this relationship, and it starts over Twitter, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wow, I'm so grateful to Twitter.

I think it started with me following you guys, right? And I think we threw out the, would you want to collaborate together? Of course, you have to. Right. It was that time where we're like, let's just try anything.

Yeah, but when you're saying that, like, you really think in your mind, there's no way that Rivers Cuomo is going to want to work with us, right?

Or do you think, like, yo, he's going to be here and he's down to collaborate and we're going to get in the studio tomorrow. No, no, no, of course not. Our mindset was, no, there's no way this is going to work, but you have to try it out.

Yes.

And it was so great that he wrote back and he was down.

But two songs in your life that come from Twitter.

Africa was the other one. I was like wondering, yeah.

Well, it starts with a Rosanna cover that you did of Toto and then some girl tweets you asking for Africa.

You fulfilled the dream.
