Sometimes a labor of love can be a bit more labor than love at times. After the original scheduled guest dropped out, the Awe, Really Dudes were faced with the decision to either skip an episode, or stick to their commitment and release an episode anyway. Guess which way they went? In another two-part one-on-one episode, the Awe, Really Dudes tackle the task of an impromptu episode with no direction head-on. Take a peek inside their minds and see that even something as simple as having a conversation and keeping it from being self indulgent can be more complicated than it seems. The anxiety of daily life is mirrored in this, perhaps the most vulnerable you've ever seen the Awe, Really Dudes!

The Awe, Really Dudes are back with another esteemed educator. This time we speak with English teacher Mr. Rob Ragati from Lutch's alma mater high school, North Brunswick Township High School. As someone who is heavily involved in local issues and someone who offers a different perspective on things as our first gay guest, Mr. Ragati brings a plethora of knowledge and perspective on education, politics, society, and how our nation's youth has evolved over the past 15 years of his career. This will definitely not be the last time he appears on the podcast, as we were no where close to running out of discussion topics after over 2 hours of talking! We are finally getting past the need for every subject to come back around to Trump as he is only mentioned maybe twice throughout the whole episode!

Friend of the Awe, Really Dudes and our resident rational Trump supporter, Andrew Born, joins us once more to complete what became the Trump Trilogy. In this episode, we discuss our feelings about the election, Trump's (brief) presidency thus far, and all things Trump in an attempt to answer each other's questions about what we saw post-election and what's to come. As always, nothing is off limits for the Awe, Really Dudes, and things get a little heated!

In this one of a kind episode, The Awe, Really Dudes prove their dedication to the cause even in the face of Lutch's new job, and a lot of time consuming factors that might cause other podcasters to take the week off. What was meant to be a Quick Snippit turned into a two-part, live streamed episode that addresses the concerns of Awe, Really fans directly and the future of Awe, Really!

The Awe, Really Dudes are joined by John, an old friend who has dedicated his life to traveling on the currency of unconditional love. With his open, loving attitude, and adventurous mind, he travels wherever the journey of life takes him with little money, but a lot of happiness. We talk about the differences and similarities between our belief systems, the consequences of using specific language, and a little bit about different views on veganism and vegetarianism, sprinkled with some of that Awe, Really charm!

The Awe, Really Dudes meet with their most highly decorated academic guest, esteemed Doctor of Philosophy from NJ's own Rider University to discuss his influence on Lutch's life and his thoughts on different areas of philosophy, the current state of college campus life, a little bit of politics, and the nuances of religion, humanism, spirituality, and he introduces the Awe, Really Dudes with the concept of Absurdism. They dig it, what do you think?

The Yo of broCHILL, a college buddy of the Awe, Really Dudes jumps into the Pod to reminisce about the old days, talk about the merits of music and beer, and gives his perspective on the future of religion. Even after 2 1/2 hours, there was so much left to discuss, this will surely be only the first of many episodes with broCHILL!

Another chance to escape the political nightmare, the Awe, Really Dudes are back to do what they do best. Most of this episode is spent discussing the conspiracy theories and social contribution. What really happened? Does it exist? Is there a 'better' way to spend one's life? And the hardest question of all - are some people 'better' than others? Tune in to find out and listen to the Awe, Really Dudes heavily scrutinize themselves!

The Awe, Really Dudes take a break from diving into politics and other deep issues to speak with Conover's favorite colleague, a man from Oklahoma - a born story teller. Don't expect the deepest of insight from this episode, this one is about funny stories and unique experiences. Of course we've got some wisdom packed in there but this one is more a break from reality Awe, Really style

Welp. The election is over and Trump won. Share our devastation along with a few other discussion topics to make you feel at least a little bit better #AweReally #AweReallyPodcast #ARP #ARQS #ARQS09 #BelieveNothing
