For Episode 21 of CTC, the podcast with the LA face and the Oakland booty, the theme was "the cupisode."

Lee chose The Byrds' 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo' and Will chose Eboa Lotin's 'The Best Of, Vol. 1.'

Every week on CTC, Lee and Will each pick a classic album and connect them back to each other with tangential references Kevin Bacon style. We award each other points but the points don't matter, but there is a winner of each episode, so let us know who you think won. For episode 20 we did a second trial of our "colors album" podcast. We initially attempted to record an episode on that theme for episode 14, with the Beatles White Album and Weezer's Green Album. The episode became a lost episode because we recorded it live with our guest JJ Russo and Lee was antagonistic the entire time about how much he hated Weezer. But despite being beaten down black and blue, the LA face and the Oakland booty rebuilds itself together in this episode. Listen to hear how Scotland connects to all of this. Plus more.
