Join us as we welcome in our old pal Aaron Lohman or Huge Fat Loser on his social networks as we explore a range of topics. We open up with a dive into the origins of our podcast 'Who Are These Guys?' and how we navigated the challenges of launching during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Aaron share what he’s been up to and self-improvement strategies, such as beginner workout programs and gratitude journals. We also tackle essential mental health and wellness issues faced by police officers, particularly the importance of resilience training and overcoming the stigma of seeking help. 

He shares his intriguing experiences with the criminal justice system, from serving on a grand jury to recounting his career so far as a New York City cop. We mix in nostalgic reflections on high school life, unique cultural aspects of our hometown Lindenhurst, and humorous stories of self-defense classes and quirky characters from our past.

By the end of this week’s episode you’ll know who Huge Fat Loser is but the rest of them, still not sure “Who Are These Guys?”.
