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
