MERDEAD & UC MERCED W/ DUSTIN AND DARCY (@merdead.ent)

In this episode, I’m joined by Dustin and Darcey—two UC Merced students and the some of the founders of Merdead Entertainment.( @merdead  @dustinxmyhre @alex.darcyyy)We actually just crossed paths about a week ago, and I’ve always wanted to have someone from UC Merced on the podcast, so the timing felt right. These two are building something really different out here and wanted to change the narrative of the Merdead culture. From throwing events, creating space for artists, and pushing the culture forward in a town that doesn’t always get that kind of energy.We talk about how Merdead started, what it’s like being students while trying to run something real, and just got to know more about Dustin and Darcy's view on the area. Good convo with two people doing the work and repping something new in the Valley.The Dopest Sponsors: M-Mig Construction(209) 724-9488 ⁠⁠mmigconstruction.com⁠⁠Dapper Man [phone]https://dapper-man.com/@dapperman_centralvalleyBe Junk Free Merced (Junk Removal Service)(209)-233-1519Scott LivesayValley Performance Physical Therapy [phone]https://www.valleyperformancept.com/Trans County Title https://www.transcountytitle.com/Vanessa's Ice Cream Shop710 Carol Ave, Merced & 7010 Walnut Ave Winton @vanessasicecreamshopCal Central [e-mail]
