Random Thoughts At The Moment

So here we are at the end of yet another year. As of this writing, there are only a mere 13 days left.

What better way to end it all with just some random thoughts from this year:

I am writing a book about my nearly 5 years on the Internet. I will be covering my experiences as well as what being a host has done for me personally in my mid-life years. Not sure of the title but it may mirror the title of this blog.

The NFR leaving Las Vegas after 2014 to Orlando: Are you kidding me?! I am sure the adults who follow the NFR will get tired of Disney World every year. Then they will want to come back to Las Vegas.

Brittany Spears performing in Las Vegas: Is she good for Vegas? Has she turned a new page in her life and left the bad girl image behind? How will she be received in Las Vegas? Only time will tell as to how the chapter will be written.

High Profile Court Cases: Zimmerman/Martin, Jody Arias, Aaron Hernandez, etc. Why is our society so hell-bent on wanting to view these things? Does it make us feel better about ourselves when we see others in trouble? Your comments are always welcome.

Reality TV Shows: I have to admit that I do watch some namely SURVIVOR, PAWN STARS, GHOST HUNTERS AND GHOST ADVENTURES just to name a few. But….who can explain HONEY BOO BOO, TODDLERS AND TIARAS, HOUSEWIVES OF (INSERT ANY CITY NAME), DUCK DYNASTY, SWAMP PEOPLE, and so much more. I guess Hollywood really has run out of ideas.

Some Celebrity Deaths This Year: Paul Walker, James Gandolfini, Cory Monteith, Jean Stapleton, Bonnie Franklin, Slim Whitman, Jonathan Winters, Nelson Mandela, Roger Ebert, George Jones, Dennis Farina and so many more. If you look at the entire list of those famous people who passed this year, you may be shocked at the number of them who took their own lives. Were things REALLY THAT BAD for them? I can’t imagine. Yet our military and everyday heroes, die every day, don’t get that kind of recognition.

Some of Vegas Unwrapped Internet Radio Highlights: Moved to Vegas AllNet Radio in April of this year. Great staff, great facility, great engineer in Mike “Bobcat” Fox, red carpet events, hosting beauty pageants and they actually want us to return next year, a new management company to take us to the next level in 2014, a 3rd hour every week starting January 2014, helping non-profit organizations get their message out to the world, and entire show dedicated to bullying awareness, remote shows on location, Ricky Cash being able to host the show when I was in the hospital, THE POOLE PARTY: A SOIREE OF MADNESS hit the airwaves, and so much more. Here is a link to our show page so you can listen to any show you want to and get caught up on our “info-tainment”: http://www.vegasallnetradio.com/Shows/Vegas-Unwrapped.html

Some of the Guests This Year on Vegas Unwrapped: Amy C Hanley, Wendy Mazaros, Bella Capo, Tomirae Brown, Cheryl Prater, Nicci Lease, MMA Fighter Rodrigo Botti, Brian “Red Skelton” Hoffman, Las Vegas Wrangler Coach Mike Madill, Author Denise Michaels, Info-Mercials, Alyson Sinai, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, Catherine “REDNECK WEDDINGS TV” Natale and Peter “LATE BLOOMERS” Papageorgiou and so much more.

Well that about wraps things up for 2013. I guess resolutions may be in order but I made a resolution not to make any more resolutions!

As Cash & I say at the end of every show: “BE KIND TO EACH OTHER. WHY? BECAUSE WE ARE ALL WE GOT!”

Have a Happy Holiday and Prosperous 2014. See you on the other side.

Until next time……..


WHAT’S GOING ON

p & c

Once again time flies by and it is has been 3 months since my last posting. If nothing else, I should be doing this weekly at least sharing the news as to who the guests are for that week’s show.

Nonetheless, here is a recap of all that has gone on since April 1st when we moved to our new station:

My radio partner Ricky Cash & I co-hosted a the MISS NEVADA UNITED STATES BEAUTY PAGEANT on May 26th on the Internet. I think it was he first time a beauty pageant was simulcast on YouTube. You can check it out on our YouTube channel, VEGAS UNWRAPPED.

Two weeks later we were the emcees, on stage, for the MRS. NEVADA PAGEANT. We had a blast at these pageants and we have been offered the opportunity to do it again next year for both pageants.. As of this writing Cash & I will be hosting a model search show being put on by the MISS NEVADA UNITED STATES organization. It is a fundraiser for the organization and we are only too happy to help.

We recently signed on with a Marketing/PR firm called GYS ENTERTAINMENT, LLC to help market and promote Vegas Unwrapped Productions, Aaron Phillips & Ricky Cash.

Along with my Vegas Unwrapped responsibilities I have also been expanding my radio schedule as I continue to be contacted to co-host other shows.

Wednesday mornings I can be found on THE CHI-TO-BE RADIO EXPERIENCE from 9-9:30 AM with host Stacey Hall. This show can be found on http://www.talkshoe.com.

Friday mornings, I record a podcast called THE FRANCHISE RADIO NETWORK which can be found on http://www.thecityfm.com

Lastly, I co-host “SUNDAY CHAT” from 3-4PM PST, on Sundays of course, in the beautiful Greenspun Communications Building. The show can be heard LIVE at http://www.rebcast.com or on archive at http://www.aircheck.us.

Wow, I just got tired looking at that schedule.

One thing we have worked very at is “grass-roots” promotions. This year has been the year of public appearances. For instance, I hosted a poker tournament fundraiser for a non-profit organization at The Green Valley Ranch Casino here in Las Vegas. (I did get to meet Randy Couture!) phillips & couture

This has been a major step in having our LOCAL listenership grow by way of Internet Radio.

July 4th is just one week away as I write this. Be safe and enjoy the holiday for what it represents.

Until next time……
