Episode 31 - Roger Alcocer (The Magnificent World Of Toys)
Today I sat down with my boy Roger Alcocer for his second appearance on the show. His YouTube channel is easily one of my favorites—not just on YouTube, but in general. The way Roger documents and archives toy collectors and creative artists is next level. It’s thoughtful, professional, and genuinely entertaining. He has a real talent for preserving stories and giving them the respect they deserve. We talked about everything Misfits, of course, along with some hilarious stories about Danzig and art collecting, and even some interesting connections between Roger’s collection and Glenn’s own art-collecting habits. He also shared experiences from his recent trip to Japan, and we even went down a rabbit hole talking about the Spanish band Héroes del Silencio. If you’ve never checked out his channel, do yourself a favor and take a look—you won’t regret it. The way he archives the stories of every collector he visits is both professional and incredibly engaging. https://youtube.com/@themagnificentworldoftoys?si=gbzF3cyfDO_KC06W

Episode 28 - Kevin Deathless
Deathless webstore started in Ontario, California. It all began with my love for hardcore music. I grew up listening to most of the titles that are offered in our store, and have countless stories of seeing these bands at local shows and concerts. We are now located in Arizona, and are working to open an actual Brick & Mortar Store! We try to carry as many titles as possible, but unfortunately the price of vinyl is so high that we get a few in every month (so we do not load up on large quantities of the same title). We greatly appreciate every single purchase, and every dollar spent at our store. Every customer means the world to us, because you could have easily chosen Amazon or Walmart... but instead, you are here supporting the little guy.. and we appreciate you! Please contact us if you have any questions!

Episode 24 - Chris 'ThrashHeavy' De Leon
Formed in the Summer of 2019, Kryptik Mutation are a group of close friends who share a love for the Extreme Metal, Horror movies, and video games. While the band take their music seriously, they try not to take themselves too seriously and embrace fun in the creation of their art. Every song has some reference or nod to a video game or horror movie, whether a favorite or a unique story they create inspired from those favorites. Musically Kryptik Mutation are a modern savage... A modern production with old and new school aesthetic alike, combining 90's Death/ Thrash with hints of grindcore and slam. Self-admittedly hugely influenced by Suffocation, the band incorporate those Long Island blasts and groove with a Texas Death/Thrash attack!
