About this listen

If you love funny Southern storytelling like Theo Von and a podcast that feels like comedy, confession, and therapy rolled into one— hit songwriter and bestselling author Aimee Mayo talks about family dysfunction, Southern childhood chaos, fame, trauma, motherhood, marriage, mental health, and all the things people whisper about but never say out loud.


The unhinged decisions that made perfect sense at the time. The stuff most people take to the grave, but Aimee talks about into a microphone.


Some episodes are just Aimee. Some are guests with stories so wild they feel made up. Either way, every conversation is honest, emotional, and impossible to stop listening to.

One minute you are laughing at something you probably should not be laughing at, and the next you feel seen in ways you did not expect.


It is about the moments in life that make you say "wait, what?" because the craziest stories are the true ones. For listeners who want real people, real chaos, and big laughs, there is nothing else like this.

  • Ketamine, Magic Mushrooms, Ibogaine & the Truth About Depression | Dr. Amy Price Neff | Wait What?!
    Apr 23 2026

    Ketamine therapy. Magic mushrooms. Psychedelics. Treatment resistant depression. Matthew Perry. And a mushroom that naturally produces ketamine. This episode covers all of it.

    Dr. Amy Price Neff is a Nashville physician, founder of MindStream Integrative Medicine, trained at the University of Virginia and University of Arizona, and certified in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

    We go deep on what ketamine therapy actually feels like, how it rewires the brain, why it works two to three times better than antidepressants for most people, and how psilocybin mushrooms compare. We also cover what really happened to Matthew Perry, whether mushrooms can help with grief, why cannabis is Schedule 1 while opioids are Schedule 2, and what to say when someone you love makes comments about not wanting to be here.

    Aimee also shares something she has never said publicly before. That she attempted suicide at 19 while on antidepressants that were later pulled from the market because of exactly what they did to her.

    This episode is for anyone who has tried everything and still feels hopeless. For anyone who lost someone to mental illness. For anyone who is just trying to feel better and keeps hitting a wall.

    Not medical advice. Always talk to your own doctor. But this conversation might change how you think about what healing actually looks like.

  • Pam Tillis on Letting Go of the Family Home | Wait. What?! with Aimee Mayo Ep. 6
    Apr 9 2026

    If you’ve ever had to leave the house you grew up in or say goodbye to the home where you raised your children, this emotional episode with Pam Tillis and Aimee Mayo will hit you right in the heart.

    Pam Tillis returns to her Nashville childhood home, the same legendary house where Mel Tillis made country music history and where family memories still live in the walls.

    For 25 years, this Brentwood home became Aimee Mayo’s world. It’s where she raised her kids, built her marriage, and wrote songs. Long before she ever saw it, Aimee had drawn this exact dream house in sixth grade. Years later, she walked through the front door, got down on her knees, and prayed it would become hers.

    It did.

    Now, both women are facing the bittersweet grief of letting go of the house that shaped their lives.

    This unforgettable conversation explores childhood home memories, leaving the house you raised your kids in, grief after moving, motherhood, marriage, Nashville songwriting, country music legacy, dream homes, and the ache of saying goodbye after 25 years.
