Ep. 18 | "Kevin's Greatest Nightmare"

A 10 foot tall labia, a hyper-realistic murder room, and of course, a missing goat head. Just in time for Halloween, Kevin explains what all these things have in common… they were all a part of one of his greatest failures, The Great American Nightmare. In 2013, Kevin partnered with Rob Zombie on a haunted house experience based around Zombie’s films and the punk rock of the Warped Tour. Actors were beaten up, families were scarred, and Kevin was losing money by the hour. Hear perspectives from Kevin’s accountant, Matt Malles, and two of his closest employees, Kate Truscott and Dakota Gartner, as everyone describes this traumatic experience. To wrap up the episode, Kevin interviews Maggie Schneider, an artist who blew up on TikTok with her incredible Warped Tour mashups and asks her to play a couple of her most popular tracks.
