Today we're introducing my new series on the show "Don't sleep." In these segments we're going to quickly break down a topic that's important not to sleep on. These are going to be shorter likely than my usual episodes, but we're hopeful they are well received. Please let us know what you think about them. Your feedback is very important. On the first episode of the 'Don't Sleep' series Cole breaks down why he doesn't think that average Joe's disagree with each other as much as we disagree how to solve the fundamental problem in our society.

We’re back! After a 2 month plus hiatus Wide Awake at 3 AM returns with a very special episode for y'all. Artist Adam Maxwell joins me in the basement this week to discuss how our perceptions of ourselves and the world influence our decisions and how we take in information. We start off discussing Adam's latest art installment (3:35). Adam and Cole take a trip down to the abyss to see what's getting under our skin this week and if screaming about it helps (22:50). For our main portion of the show this week Adam and Cole discuss a "numinous experience" and how all living beings are connected by a single shared consciousness (33:45). We also get into how both Adam and Cole’s experiences with the numinous were almost identical without ever talking about it before (1:16:00). Be with us at the great connective point of consciousness! Check it out and spread the word. Please follow the show @wideawakeatthree on instagram and @wideawakeatthr3 on twitter.

Wide Awake is back this week with a very different episode for y'all. Mark Kaplan and Walker Bristow from the RNsquared news team in Columbia, South Carolina join me in the basement for the second straight zoom podcast. RNsquared is a comedic news show, so this one is full of laughs. We start off talking about covering the local news in Columbia, SC (3:00) and the dangers of corporate funded mainstream media (11:40). The RNsquared team takes a record long time in the abyss and no one is safe, especially Mark Kaplan's past romantic partners (26:15). For the main bit tonight we mostly discuss the upcoming Presidential election (34:45) and then RNsquared tackles the big issues in this election from a local news point of view (57:30). This one is super funny. Check it out and spread the word. Please follow the show @wideawakeatthree on instagram and @wideawakeatthr3 on twitter. Subscribe, comment, join in on the conversation.

We're back in the basement this week with another very special guest. Dorell Reynolds, RELLIKISS, comedian and viral video maker from Wilmington, Delaware joins Cole in the basement via zoom this week.

We start off discussing censorship and shadow banning RELLIKISS has experienced on his social media accounts (3:00) before getting into his own personal experience with police brutality (11:10). Then RELLIKISS and Cole take a trip down to the abyss to throw a few corny comedians with clout in (27:15).

Wide Awake is back after almost a month hiatus. It's still Wednesday and we're still wide awake with another guest! Danny Aguilera straps on his tin foil hat and joins an old friend in the basement. We discuss being a twitter troll and the latest Chrissy Tiegen twitter scandal (5:35) and getting to vote between two alleged rapists in his first presidential election as an adult (21:00). Then we take a trip to the abyss because  Danny can't stand when people ask him to tell them a joke when they find out he’s a comedian (26:20). For the main portion of the show we get into the Social Dilemma, a new Netflix documentary that leaves little to the imagination about the ills of social media (32:55).
