Tonight on Your Dark Companion, Mike Rhyner and Shoopy welcome local legend, chaos coordinator, music scene archaeologist, and human wildcard Kevin Fox — better known as Expo.
This episode has everything:
Stories from a life lived at full volume, the kind of Dallas music history that never made the press releases, and maybe just a little therapy disguised as a conversation.
Mike tries to understand Expo.
Shoopy tries to wrangle Expo.
Expo… just tries.
Whether you know him, think you know him, or have only heard the stories, brace yourself — this one’s an instant classic.
Laugh, cringe, reminisce… and then question why you listened to all of it.
