I'd like to hear some more thoughts on this. My friend, who knows more about poker than I do, said that I definitely should be making this shove, and the big blind calling me with AQo when it was for most of his stack was bad.

Your push is fine. His call is definitely fine.

You're somewhat unfortunate in the distribution of stacks, in that big stacks are to your left. However, you have no resteal equity so your accumulation options are limited, beyond getting dealt a big hand and open shoving.

Turn the hands face up and you should still probably push even if he calls all the time. As it stands, even calling loose, the blinds will still be folding more than enough to make this profitable.
