Well, well, welcome to the Purple Stuff podcast, Halloween, Minnesota.

You know, Matt, you and I had a lot of the same experiences growing up, going down to the Wildwood Boardwalk in the summer to go on one of our favorite rides.

A ride that we've mentioned in several previous shows.

Castle Dracula.

I know longtime listeners are so sick of hearing us talk about Castle Dracula,

but Castle Dracula deserves to be

talked about a lot.

It does.

And there's like a lot of backstory with this, too, because that's one of the ways that I even

found your original site, XE.

during that time, there wasn't a lot of people who were

reminiscing about it right even though there should have been exactly so picture this it's
