Wow, Who'd a thunk it? We made it One YEAR! We've been incredibly fortunate!In this episode, we gather most of the commentators and contributors and discuss the last year, talk about our future, and have a damned good time doing it.
We've tried some different things, added new people to the show,and had some leave as well. We've learned some lessons, recorded in 9 different locations, had to go to Skype and Zoom, and adjusted as well as we could the whole time.
HUGE SHOUT OUTS!
First; Lets Recognize everyone whose helped us Musically.
Jeffery Kantos for giving us our Awesome "Awful Intro" theme song
Jon Housworth for giving us our Groovy "Karen of the Week" theme song
Mr Rogers and the Make Believe Friends for "Show Us Your Resume"
Second; to the Visual Artists who have helped us out;
Robb Miller for the Awesome Character Art
James Stanley for the very Nick Tunes esq Art
And To Mackenzie McCann for the original cover Art.
Third Huge shout out to the Guests, thanks for giving our show a chance!
And Finally the crew!
Drew Hehir, Thank you for being our first audio producer/third mic. You adopted us early and have been a huge supporter. You always have a place on the show.
Jalen Russel, Thanks for taking over the audio producer work. You save Matt from himself and have spent countless hours working super hard to make sure we put out the best product we can. You've been a wonderful addition to the show!
Rebecca Wilson, Wow. You have done SO MUCH for us, mostly without being asked to. You stepped up our social media game, you stepped into the "Karen of the week" role and made it your own, and you've been invaluable as a third mic. You came in when we really needed you, you rock!
Andrew Weglietner, you are only here because of Rebecca!
Kidding, Wegs, you have been a creative joy to work with. You've been a great contributor, supporter, commentator, and baby loads of funny.
James Stanley, While you've only done a few episodes with us, you've been a great friend of the show, someone to help us behind the scenes, and a great ally to the Awful cause. Thank you very much.
Joe Cocozello, You are the chaos the show needed. You derail us in the most delightful ways. You support us like a junk yard dog. Your loyalty and hard work on the show is more than appreciated. You are our crazy Uncle Third mic, and we love you.
Nathan Smesrud, You've been a brother to me for years. You've been my co creator and co host since day one. You've always put your trust in me, and there is no proper way to thank you. You always know when to come in with the right anecdote, when to call me on my shit, and when to talk about North Dakota. We wouldn't have made it the year with out you.
As for Matt Dooyema; Uh, He's ok.
Thank you Awful Fans, for giving us a listen, sharing, and liking us on social media. We have much more to come. Buckle up Buttercups, more Awfulness awaits!
And, as always, TIP YOUR FUCKING BARTENDER, SERVER, DELIVERY DRIVER, BARBER, HAIR DRESSER, TATTOO ARTIST, ect!

A new week, a fresh Awful episode for your ears. This Week we have a dank interview with the pride of Sioux Falls South Dakota, from the "All Fantasy Everything" Podcast, we have Sean Jordan on the podcast. We talk about work fights, restaurant stings, smoking weed, and Sean stands up for the little guy. We also agree that both Dakotas are not nearly as good as Minneapolis. And we have to agree with Sean, the only thing that could have made it better would to have been recording in person. Check it out this episode, it's almost as good as the chocolate at the bottom of the drink. Also check out Sean's Album "The Buck Starts Here"
