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 When I Wake Up! Today's guest is the talented Christian Klink, a stand-up comedian, former college quarterback, and emerging screenwriter. Christian's unique blend of humor and wit is sure to have you in stitches. In this episode, we delve into the world of stand-up comedy and explore the concept of vulnerability in art. You won't want to miss it! Thank you for tuning in. This one is a doozy. Furthermore, of course, It's never a dull moment here and we have to have technical difficulties. Unfortunately, the camera dies and I have to add some creativity at the end. Enjoy.

Thank you for listening!!!!
