The Closet of Nonsense

Something completely different for the podcast, Psikotyk gets a chance to talk with the talent-juggernaut that is Aeona Cruz. Successful actress, touring social advocate, author, pageantry contestant (and potential ghost-seeker?), and all before she's legal to do all the things that likely cause the distractions that keep us "adults" from succeeding in the first place! MUSIC: Michael Jackson - Man...

For the first episode of Season Four of The Closet of Nonsense, we couldn't think of a better way to return than to visit with our comrade and colleague Sabrina Sins. We spend our time talking about her current career struggles, the downfall of social media society, just how busy life can really get, and (of course) her cats. MUSIC: Dance Gavin Dance - Prisoner Silverstein - Smile in Your Sleep

The greatest thing about being involved in so many facets of the entertainment industry is that we almost always have friends and colleagues doing something amazing, and Fallon Vendetta is ALWAYS working. So, finding time is difficult, as it so often is, BUT she and costar Sophie Roberts found ninety minutes in their hectic shooting schedule to sit down and discuss their upcoming indie film, "Suck...

An obligatory solo episode from Psikotyk as we try to finish out this season strong with the interviews and conversations we have scheduled. This one is picked straight from the headlines... or really, ABOUT the headlines, as he talks about how to filter out misinformation and learn to interpret for yourselves where you get your information from. MUSIC: Anxxiety - Heartbreak The Broken Poet Societ...

One of those episodes that honestly should have happened back in Season One, Psikotyk finally got to sit down and chop it up with round-the-year purveyor of horror and the macabre, Samhain the One. A staunch supporter of the Halloween365 movement, Samhain is also an online personality and streamer known for his off-the-cuff banter; that comes through in this episode as we discuss online personalit...

One of the interviews we have always wanted to do (as her multi-dimensional, multi-faceted, multi-interest brand of marketing is what we as a podcast strive for), we couldn't be happier to be joined by musician/model/designer/influencer BABYCHAOS on this episode. Not only do we discuss her varying interests and career paths, but how that affects her overall lifestyle when it has been in process fo...

We're back, after a longer-than-intended break from broadcasting! And by 'we', we mean 'Psikotyk', as this is just a solo, let's catch up and talk some shop, spill some tea, and ruffle through the neighbor's garbage because you can't get in trouble for looking even though you have zero proof they're ACTUALLY hiding aliens in their basement kind of episode. Music: Skies Marie - "Last Hope" Ekoh - "...

It took a little begging. Groveling, really. But former Go from There Podcast alum Travanti Jaramillo finally relented, and we ended up having a very open conversation. Ranging in topics from what it means to establish ones own legacy to how celbrity can differ from personal connection when it comes to loss, and of course on to the inevitable debate on the state of political affairs we seem to alw...

Another interview that was originally scheduled for Season Two, Psikotyk managed to get musician/artist/film star Nick Bedrosian on the line for a candid conversation about his career. Topics vary from how different touring and live performance is post-Covid to how perspective and experience can not only shape how you walk through your life, but how you can put yourself in others' shoes more easil...

Originally scheduled for Season Two, we finally got a chance to get a phone conversation in with designer/model/clothing label owner Little Paulson. We talk about the wonders of online connection and communication, how it feels to be sleep deprived on purpose, and some of our nightmare situations in the various workplaces we share. Music: Jasiah feat. jdxn - "Earthquake" Pardyalone - "Not a Home"

Once again, Ritual joins us on The Closet of Nonsense! We discuss her future, her present, everything she's been up to the last year or two, and everything in between from her modeling career to her music. .... actually...... she wasn't going by Ritual at that point, so is this actually her first appearance? Or DOES it count as another appearance?? How is that supposed to work?? WE'RE HAVING A SEC...

THE FINAL EPISODE.... of season two. No, you're not getting the last of us just yet. This episode finally got three of the creators of this podcast in the same room to record for the first time, with DJ AkA and Joben joining Psikotyk for a conversation that wanders in content so much, it's truly a prime example of why we never chose to limit ourselves to any one theme or concept. Music on this epi...

Our return from the Fall Break marks the return of one of our founding members into the fold. Devin Hallett, formerly known as Joben to the musical world (and probably always will be to his friends), returns for Episode Eleven and another walk down the randomness that is the hallmark of this show. Psikotyk and Devin discuss music, of course, but also how the industry has changed with social media...

Tragedies in the music world hit home in very personal ways for every person involved with the creation of this podcast. We've decided to interrupt our schedule so Psikotyk can respond to some queries regarding his thoughts on what happened in Houston while it's fresh in his mind, and to reiterate that ALL incidents and disasters can have truly catastrophic rippling effects that last for years to...

We don't usually like doing solo episodes, but this one is a little different, and was logistically very necessary. Psikotyk talks about what Halloween means on a more personal level, and manages to give a bit of a SitRep in the process. Music: Michael Jackson (James Egbert Remix} - "Thriller (Trap Mix)" DJ Whiite - "This Is Halloween (Dubstep Remix)"

The second part of this episode, and if you listen it will become very clear why it couldn't just be cut off and the recording stopped: this episode got GRITTY. Discussing relationships, heartache, loss, and an overall sense of whether or not we're ever even destined to succeed. For the first time on record, Psikotyk gets choked up and legitimately fights back tears. Josh's openness and raw emotio...

This is truly an impromptu episode. After a couple of reschedules, Psikotyk was begrudgingly accepting of the fact that there would be another solo episode coming when Josh Williams returned to town from working and saved the day. Josh is truly a Recassaince man, with career paths that range from being an engineer to a counselor and everything in between, and his views and stories could fill liter...

A ridiculously difficult to schedule episode, Nox Nohi finally joins us. And by joins us, we mean we were in his bedroom. Without supervision. Shit got weird. Aliens, history, vaccines, politics, economy, music, and numerous anecdotal moments throughout the entire time on record, this episode is truly a prime example of why we never wanted to stick to any one type of subject matter, because we rea...

This is one of those FAR overdue episodes that should have been one of the first interviews we did. Zack and Psikotyk go back a decade or more, and this is honestly a fairly good example of what it's like to spend time with them. Add in Keith, who is in the top twenty funniest human beings on the planet, and Cody with his soft disarming demeanor, and you have the equal potential for comedy and pur...

There's nothing quite like having the privelege of recording these interviews, and this conversation with Tara Leary is definitely at the top of the list. A self-described disabled model and advocate, topics range from health and stigmae to metal music to the value of a loving support system. This one goes in the "Spreading Awareness" column, for those keeping score. Music: "Mediator" - Jinjer "Er...

An unintentional solo episode with Psikotyk, as the world has once again decided to mess with our schedule. This one delves into what it means to support someone, and how sometimes you have to stand up for yourself simply because no one else will. It sounds negative, but it's really supposed to be a positive message, we swear..... Music: "Nightmare" - Bear Grillz feat. rx Soul "My Demon" - Stitche...

An incredibly honest conversation with performer and enterpeneur Onyx Muse in her studio space in Las Vegas, Nevada. Topics include diversifying business, how the adult film and strip club industries have changed with the onset of the massive online communities recently, and what it's like adjusting to parenthood. Music: "Foxy Lady" - Jimi Hendrix "Monophobia" - deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire

A new kind of solo session from Psikotyk, explaining where we've been, what we've been up to, and what we plan to do about it in this new season. Music: Ekoh - "i'm not alright" Fate DeStroyed - "The Need That We Kill For"

Took a bit of an accidental break in our broadcasting, but we're back with a solo episode from Psikotyk discussing the general chaos that is the world as we know it today. We're going low-tech, no polish, unedited complete ranting here. Unapologetically. Music Credit: CyberGothDanceParty: "Akimbo" David Angel: "Higher"

It's been a long time coming in getting singer-songwriter, model, and otherwise juggernaut talent Dahlia Ray on the podcast, and she definitely does not disappoint. From opening up about her childhood to how she deals with the trials and tribulations of tour, to even finding the best path for dealing with demons from her past, this is only the first chapter in what promises to be many of her visit...
