Wuxtry Records: Half a Century of Georgia Music History

In this segment of The Morning X, they celebrate the 50th anniversary of a legendary, independent Georgia record store. Tune in as Barnes and Crash chat with Mark Methe, the shop's co-founder, about the simple, ice-cream-based business formula that helped them choose their iconic location half a century ago.

Plus, find out which beloved Hollywood actor randomly called the shop from Los Angeles looking for a specific record, and hear why the owner has absolutely zero faith in the modern-day resurgence of the cassette tape.
