#41- inside the BRAND NEW museum, MJJ5 Exhibit with Vernay and Ryan O'Neal

If you're a Michael Jackson fan, this episode is a must-listen! I’m joined by Vernay and Ryan O’Neal — two superfans who’ve opened one of the largest Michael Jackson exhibits in the world: the MJJ5 Exhibit, now on display at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City.

We talk about:

• How they started collecting rare Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson memorabilia

• What you’ll see inside the exhibit — including Neverland Ranch flags, Tito’s guitar, and a custom MJ One sound system

• Their incredible stories of meeting the Jackson family

• Why they’re preserving this legacy as longtime collectors and fans
