In episode 17 of "When I Wake Up," I have a special guest, Danny Cuellar, also known as dannyisaname, who happens to be my musical partner and the other half of our music-making journey. Danny's journey started as a bassist/guitarist, which led to exploring various aspects of music creation. With skills in production, songwriting, and recording, Danny has evolved into the frontman of our band, Wasted Talent, alongside me.

During this episode, we delve into the music that currently resonates with us, discussing both our favorites and upcoming releases. The conversation is filled with laughter, adding a lighthearted touch to the episode.

Towards the end, we engage in a rapid-fire session, revealing some of our guilty pleasure music choices

Lastly, you might be wondering why we're dressed the way we are during the episode...Trust me when I say that significant things are in the pipeline. Stay tuned, because we have some fire announcements.

Thank you for watching!!!

In Episode 16, we welcome back the multi-talented Brad Caruso for the third time. Brad is not only a singer-songwriter, but also a skilled guitarist, bassist, and drummer. With his incredible musical prowess and a knack for humor, he never fails to entertain. Currently, Brad rocks the bass in our band called 'Wasted Talent,' but he is also embarking on an exciting solo project that promises to deliver delightful sounds to our ears.

Episode 16 holds a special significance—it falls on my birthday. However, amidst the celebrations, there's a bittersweet twist. This episode reminds us of the importance of cherishing our loved ones and spending quality time with them. It urges us to engage in heartfelt conversations with our family and friends, to let go of grudges even when it feels challenging, and most importantly, to embrace the joy of life in every possible way.

So, on this special day, let us remember to flick away any negativity and revel in the company of those who bring us happiness. Annnnd never forget to flick those nipples!!

Welcome back to another episode of When I Wake Up!! Today, we have a special guest, my cousin Tyler, who has been long overdue for an appearance on the show. When it comes to the younger generation being in trouble, Tyler is not one of them. He is an intelligent and mature individual, and we even have aspirations of him taking on a larger role with our band, 'Wasted Talent', and possibly even some managerial duties.

During our discussion, we talked about our own age and how time seems to fly by, as well as some topics such as the Cleveland Browns' plans for a potential new stadium. It was also the night of the NFL Draft, which added some excitement to the conversation.

Thank you all for tuning in and watching.

WAKE UP!!!

Please go listen to 'Strong' by 'Setback' or 'dannyisaname' out everywhere now!!!

Stay tuned for the Live Podcast Jam w/streamspaceofficial on Thursday, May 4th.

In this weeks episode I invite my friend Jacoby on the show. Jacob is an audio engineer and the producer behind the beat of the viral song, "Speak Up' by isokenny. I decided to research and dive into the topic of operation MK-Ultra. Jacob is extremely apprehensive with anything that has to with conspiracy, but i still have to do what I do. Thank you to anyone who's listening!!

In Episode 10 of When I Wake Up, I welcome on my friend and roommate, Krust. He is an extremely talented musician, a skateboarder, and a snowboarder. A truly unique person. We talk about the music scene in Cleveland and how many things could be better. We also discussed death. This is a hilarious podcast and it’s even better to have video and really get to see how funny some things are. A huge thank you to anyone who watched. Much love.

In episode 9 of When I Wake Up I try to get back into podcast mode after not recording one since November. I brought on my friend Aj Kish. A skateboarding, vinyl loving, hippie. Truly a beautiful individual. We discuss the ongoing madness involving the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. It seems very strange the number of train disasters that have happened in the recent weeks. Then we get the first installment of ‘Aj’s Record PSA’, segment name pending. I appreciate anyone who's taking the time to listen, or if you watched!

Thanks for listening to another episode of When I Wake Up. My cousin Gabe comes back for the first time since the very first episode. This one might be hard to sit through for some though. Anyway, Gabe and I went on a small adventure in this podcast, thanks to the generous donation from Mr. Dave Hennessy. Make your own conclusions. This is a weird one for sure, but surprisingly we keep it together and conjure up a few cool topics. I appreciate you if you make it through to the other side. Thanks again!

WAKE UP!!!
