Dream Theater
The fantastical new universe known as CBC Music has now launched and Aaron has begun contributing to it.
His first story was a Grammy Awards advancer with James LaBrie of Dream Theater about the band’s hard rock nomination. Both Aaron and James were born in the same hometown so the conversation quickly deteriorated into talk about mental institutions and local hockey games.

Now, finally, Ice Cold Cash is set to make its official debut.
The first episode, “Brotherly Love,” is set to debut on Friday. Here’s its upcoming airing schedule:

I have a cold, so I stayed home and stuck wads of toilet paper up my nose while Aaron went out into the world, played hockey, saw other people and acted like a functional human being. About an hour into my quarantine, I started to get really bored. I turned to social media for amusement, and then I made some dumb jokes in an effort to get people to pay attention to my sad, sickly ass.
