Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! We are starting this episode off on a rather unfortunate note. Larry Mohrmann joins us to remember former WWE superstar, Ashley Massaro. Massaro was active within the circuits of WWE from 2005 to 2008. Massaro stepped down from the WWE to take care of her daughter, who became ill, in 08. She has since returned to wrestling in the independent circuits. Please feel free, if you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. Resources are available.

FACEDOWN IN THE FLOOD

On May 18th, 2019, we had the chance to do outreach at Flood City Fest in Johnstown, PA. This has been our third year providing resources to those struggling with suicide and depression. This year also included some awesome talent from Facedown Records. We had the chance to sit down with two of those artists for this episode. We’re sitting down with DENS & Comrades. DENS is a Virginia based rock band playing in support of their latest release, No Small Tempest . While Comrades is a post hardcore band gearing up on their second release on the album, For We are Not Yet, We Are Only Becoming. Becoming drops on June 7th but you can read our review of it now, by clicking here. Plus, special bonus interview with Cherokee Lann.

And more importantly, if you or someone you know is struggling with suicide, addiction, self-harm or depression - please free feel to reach out. Use any our resources, call the suicide lifeline (1-800-273-8255) or text 741-741.
