Playlitest

The world has ended and a future advanced civilization combs the plant and comes across a single device. A single USB. They decode the puzzle and access the music on that USB - this playlist IS THAT USB. On today's show, we have CODY from the amazing band DIEYOUNG. Mike has been beating you all over the head with this band for some time and he has had enough. You now will listen to everything this fine gentleman has to say! You will also go and follow DIEYOUNG on their socials too!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN you FOOLISH MORTALS - Today's guest operates both The Mystic Museum and its sister shop, The Horror Boodega! They are unique destinations for horror fans, both co-created by our guest - Erick Wessel. The Mystic Museum is an immersive establishment that functions as both a retail shop and a museum, featuring rotating, interactive exhibits with elaborate photo ops based on different horror themes. Adjacent to it, The Horror Boodega (which Wessel co-owns with Terri Rivera) captures a different vibe as "LA's first horror-themed convenience store." This "spooky boodega" offers fans a nostalgic spot to buy themed snacks, drinks, and horror collectibles in a brightly colored, monster-filled market environment.
