Aaron Wayne's World

Movies are one of my favorite forms of entertainment. I loved the Expendables series up until 4 and share why. Spoiler alerts are in this podcast. Toy Story, Rocky and the Equalizer movies are some of my favorite sequels. What are you votes for best and worst sequels? Also, in this episode I share a story from my childhood where I learned I couldn't fly!

Most people have no idea what goes on behind the scenes at record companies or for touring bands and musicians. I share my experiences working in radio, "breaking records" and how someone can sell ten million records and still be flat broke! Why do some bands charge $800 a ticket now? I've interviewed hundreds of artists, musicians and bands during my radio career and I spill the "secrets". Plus I share about performing with my own band and what it's really like out there on the road as a "weekend warrior". I got to open for Eddie Money once, so, I was almost famous! ;)

Suicide is a subject that is hard to discuss for many. Is there a suicide solution? I believe there is and it's a positive solution! Will we ever be able to save everyone? Sadly, no, but if we can change one person's life and decision, it is worth it! I hope this episode encourages those that listen to talk! Depression, anxiety, fear and doubt are normal experiences for human beings! If you or someone you know is struggling PLEASE CALL 988! Get help! Find support! YOU ARE WORTH IT!

AI (Artificial intelligence) and technology can be cool but scary. It's amazing what you can do with just a phone these days, including a podcast! I remember growing up during what I'd like to think were simpler times. Phones were rotary, Big Wheels were king and Kodak cameras captured all our memories. Man, how time had flown by and so has technology!

I want to believe in all kinds of weird, unproven things. Unfortunately, common sense kicks in and I have to limit myself to no less than 12 hours of YouTube rabbit hole, deep dives before I move on to the next mysterious and elusive creature. Leprechauns? Hmmm. Sasquatch? Oh please be out there! Loch Ness? More likely to see pigs fly than a swimming dinosaur in a Scottish lake. Unicorns are cool and I saw one once at a rodeo. Only cost me $2 and they swore it was real. Also in the episode, why I stopped eating pop rocks and more.
