dude|CATHOLIC Podcast

This episode has been one of the most difficult episodes to get out. It got postponed one week due to how difficult it was to edit. Not only did the ADD run strong with the two hosts who for some reason were allowed to record without proper adult supervision, but the audio was hard to work with. But we don't believe in quitting (other than sin) here at dude|CATHOLIC, so we punched the devil in the FACE! and have come to release this podcast full of laughter, joy, and hopefully its own contribution to the mission of making Catholicism fun again.

In today's episode, Adrian and special guest Gabe talk about music. From our parents music, to road trips, to music with those we influence, and we even give credit to some good worship artists. I like to think we threw minimal shade to Christian music as a whole.

God is not fair! & that's good. What would be of us if He were. Today we conclude our series on Divine Mercy with the episode titled "Better than I deserve." This is our answer of choice when asked how we're doing. More on the podcast, so get to listening...

Warning: At some point of the podcast we get into very heavy stuff your children may be too young to have explained to them. That being said, we talk about God's mercy being everlasting and available to us no matter how far away we get from him.

This week's podcast inaugurates (didn't even know I knew how to spell that) a new series; inspired by the last episode of the last series. I wasn't going to mention that this is our 100th episode, but it is. Because of this, the first 100 people to congratulate us via DM on our instagram account @dudeCATHOLIC will get absolutely nothing! But wait, there's more. If you act now, you will continue to get the dude|CATHOLIC podcast absolutely free of charge! But if you don't, you'll still get the podcast free of charge. I also want to let you know that we are both proud and disappointed in you for reading this pointless episode description.

In this episode, the dudes have a conversation in between series (next episode is episode 100 of the podcast). Many good things are happening: Adrian jumped ship to public school teaching, the dude|CATHOLIC podcast gets mentioned on a top 25 podcast you should be listening to list, we're on the Bear Woznick show. It's just too much not to celebrate with you. We also spend too much time talking about how Ramon is a beautiful man and how your goodness being recognized is no accident. Thanks for listening, please rate, review, like, subscribe, share, etc. or not; Ramon doesn't care.

It's hot in California - mind you, we have a 15 degree tolerance up or down from 75 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, we recorded in the car studio with the AC on, hence the background noise. Therefore, you know we must have something good in store for you. We're talking about God's mercy and how it goes beyond what we deserve, beyond what we can ask for, beyond our comprehension. Yet there it is. So, here it is, enjoy.

This episode has something for everyone... sort of: something for the old guy who just wants those darn kids to get off his lawn, a Ramon fact of the week, some wisdom and inspiration (or whatever passes for it on the podcast) and some Shia LaBeouf to top it off. It is truly a delightful treat for your ears. Stay sharp.

Being a man after the heart of God is a dangerous and fearsome thing in our times. In this series, Adrian and Anah (Ahn-ahjh)- a little inside for those who listen regularly and wait 'til after the bumper music in the end... but I digress. The guys talk about being dangerous despite our level of bad[donkey]ry. Join us in living dangerously as we dive into the manly-matter and encourage each other to tackle this task with our usual good story courtesy of Ramon hmmm... Anah and his brother.

Scripture: Isaiah 41:10

Stay Dangerous... but be good.

In this better quality conversation, Ramon and Adrian get into days 5-9 of the St. Joseph Novena and challenge our fellow men to live and pray the life of St. Joseph who is the man who was closest to Jesus. So come get some and put it at the service of others.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 www.usccb.org/bible/1samuel/3
