002 – Everything in Transit by Jack’s Mannequin

I Love That Record

After a huge first episode, Jon and Eric are back again trying to top it with another episode of I Love That Record. This time around, they discuss Everything in Transit, the seminal release from Andrew McMahon under his Jack’s Mannequin moniker. 11 years after the release of the album, a lot has changed in the world, but some things haven’t: Eric still doesn’t like Something Corporate or special editions, and Jon is still a sap.
