In today’s episode Roberto Toro of Tsar Power and Benjamin Jacobs of Why Tho: A Personal Journey Through My Record Collection begin Part 1 of a two part crossover. In this crossover Ben reviews an album chosen by Roberto, and visa versa. Those albums are One X by Three Days Grace and Hot by the Squirrel Nut Zippers. In this episode we discuss album first loves, cool school bus drivers, and the difference between a jewel case and a digipak. 

Todays episode was edited by Ben instead of Andrew. I am so, so sorry. 

For anyone curious, the $26.00 Roberto used to purchase this album in 2006 is equivalent to $38.93 in 2023 money.
