Hey Dudes, In this sermon, I'm talking about the liberating art of Not Giving a F#ck, or Not Caring so Much, whatever preferred nomenclature you would like to use. Sometimes we care too much or expect too much and this seems to lead to disappointment. Now, the Dudeist motto is to "Take it Easy" so not giving a f#ck is really down our alley. I follow the steps of a Buddhist fellow who has developed a practice that is broken down into 8 steps... or was it 9? Anyway, these tools may help you to make your life more enjoyable and even more pleasant. Take a listen, dudes.  (This is part of an online ministry of Dudeism.)  -RPK

While St. Nich was a real dude, much of his story is legend and surrounded in mystery. After having a crazy dream, I saw Nich's story and had to write it down. It took me awhile cuz there is a lot of stuff about the Roman Empire that I did not know. So sit back, pour a drink and toke up while listening to this tale. Nicholas of Myra: a Novel https://a.co/d/cgyCnE4 -RPK

On this episode I discuss the "Rights of Grievers" that was put together by Dr. Wolf(en) who specializes in loss.

Take a listen and remember to Take It Easy. -PK

Despite the title, I am not talking about a new metal band or horror movie. Today I talk about dealing with my grief since my special lady friend passed away last year and one of those methods for dealing with grief is to write a letter to the person you lost. I started writing letters to my late wife to help cope with her loss and I share some of my findings on the practice as well as share my own letter.

Hey Dudes, On this episode I'm gonna be talking about Karma. You know? What ever you do comes back to you kinda thing. Well, turns out there is a lot more to it than that. There are 12 laws, man, and each one works together with the other and makes for one pretty cool way to look at life. Sorry if I mispronounce some of the names. I gotta do some Google:Translate on that next time around. The crazy part is that I wrote this little sermon over a year ago and since my lady friend passed away, it resonates now more than ever. -PK

Hey all, today I talk about the death of my wife or special lady friend, as some say. She was the sun in my sky, the love of my life, 25 years together, 22 married, we got together when we were 16 and been together ever since. Then cancer came along. At first, she had about 6 months to 1 year, but she barely made 9 weeks due to the cancer spreading so fast. She died in my arms and now my whole world is upside down. -PK

Happy 1 year! Yup, this podcast is officially one year old and this is our 10th episode which is pretty cool. I tried to do one podcast a month and almost reached my goal. Not too bad, man. So, in response to my last podcast, EP. 09 - Hate/The Replacement Theory, some of my listeners asked where I stood on this whole situation in the USA right now, man. Like, where do I stand on cancel culture and BLM and comedy and human evolution and all that kinda stuff. So, I lay it out man, all cards on the table and give a few insights into why I believe what I believe and what I do to make it through the day. We all got different perspectives and that's cool and at the end of the day the thing that most ppl want is to live in peace. Thanks for listening. -PK

Hey everybody, hope all is cool in yer neck of the woods because today I'm talking about HATE. Yup, that nasty feeling that seems to take over people and cause them to do terrible and stupid things. I analyze and look through the Hebrew & Christian Bible about hate while compiling scientific facts from psychologists who categorize different forms of hate like Self-Hatred or Prolonged Hatred. No matter which you choose Hate can have negative effects on your mental and physical health, not to mention it makes you a total bummer at parties. I also talk about how certain hate groups use fear to create hate in others and spread propaganda for their evil causes. So if you are dealing with hate, see hate out there in the world or just really hate the Eagles, then this episode is for you. Thanks for listening. The Dude Abides. -PK

This episode, I'm taking a break from my usual sermons and decided to talk about my little adventure at the FanExpo Dallas ComicCon 2022. I talk about my adventure to get there, misplacing my comics I had for sale, getting my table stolen and dealing with the complications of being a small fish in a very big pond. I only sold a few books and nothing much else. I also brought my daughter along to her first con as an artist and she sold her very first poster prints that she made, the kid did good. I also talk about cosplaying as the Bob Ross Ghostbuster. Listen in and have a laugh at my expense. And remember, Take it easy, dude. -PK PS - Anchor.fm asked me to do a commercial for them and I obliged... not sure when they are going to play it, either before the episode or in the middle of it, either way if I can get 1000 people to listen to it then I can make $10 bucks. ... I might buy myself a Slurpee.

On this episode, I'm talking about regrets. You got 'em, I got 'em so there's no point in denying them. We can learn from our regrets just as we can learn from our mistakes. I go over some tips on how to confront regrets, what type of regrets ppl usually have and how to use your regrets to help your future. I also talk about one of my biggest regrets. It's about the time I was accused of stalking a girl with a knife when I was 13 years old. It's a kooky, crazy and dramatic story that taught me a lot about the power of words and what NOT to do when you try to get a girlfriend. Listen, laugh and enjoy. Hope you learn something. -PK

Today, I'm taking it easy and going with the flow and talking about a question that many American children have asked at one time or another, Who is the Great Pumpkin?  Inspired from Charles Shultz's "Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" cartoon show from 1966, I answer this age old question.
