Oliver’s Questions
Turns out, my main source of inspiration for many articles is a pint-sized, 10-year-old dude (my son) who thinks he's got all the answers, forcing me into a constant state of fact-checking.
Through that fact-checking chaos, we turn his “dad, did you know…” moments into bite-sized wisdom you can actually use, or at least laugh at over a beer.
8 life-saving tips to avoid deadly freak accidents
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
It’s climb-on-a-ladder season; Halloween decorations, cleaning gutters, trimming tree branches, and for some…Christmas lights (please not this early though). It’s a fact that dudes don’t live a long as dudettes. Steer clear of these 8 final destination-like hazards. Avoidance is worth my weight in beer.
why bucks shed their antlers
Kentucky Dude original, 1-minute read
Every winter, bucks drop their antlers like they're getting rid of evidence. Why? Spoiler: it's all about hormones, dominance, and the eternal quest to be the last buck standing when November rolls around.
Man on the Move
 | Do More of What Makes You Forget Your PhoneDudes, when’s the last time you looked up and realized you hadn’t checked your phone in hours? No notifications, no scrolling, no phantom buzzes. Just you, the moment, and that rare kind of peace that feels…real. If you can’t remember, that’s the problem. We’ve traded curiosity for convenience, presence for pings, and half our joy for screen time. |
The trick isn’t finding more time. The trick is doing more of what makes time disappear.
Here’s the Move: Think about the last time you were completely locked in. That’s the signal. Do more of that.
And when your brain says, “I should check my phone,” don’t. Stay in it. Stretch that feeling until you forget the world exists for a while.
Why Bother: Because presence is rare, and that’s why it’s powerful.
The more you practice losing yourself in the moment, the more you’ll start recognizing what actually matters. Your energy resets. Your patience comes back. You remember what being human feels like.
The world’s loud, dudes. But the good stuff? It’s quiet. It’s the campfire crackle, the sound of a reel spinning, the smell of sawdust, the heartbeat after a good laugh.
Do more of that. Do more of what makes you forget your phone.
Because the goal isn’t to escape the world. It’s to plug back into it.

it’s f-in fall, y’all
Kentucky Dude Original, 2-minute read
Mother Nature just cracked open a pumpkin spice latte the size of the Ohio River and dumped it all over Kentucky, and honestly? We're not even mad about it. If you've ever found yourself defending the purchase of a $47 pumpkin or burning a candle called "Autumn Wreath" like your life depends on it, this unhinged love letter to Kentucky fall is mandatory reading.

how much foam a glass of beer should really have
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
You've been getting into arguments about beer foam your whole life and didn't even know there was an actual right answer. Turns out, there is. And it's not whatever your bartender felt like doing that night. If you've ever stared at a pint glass wondering whether you ordered a beer or a bubble bath, this one's for you.
