Bourbon, Brews, & THC
Beer, Bourbon, and Bud: A Word to the Wise Before You Cross the Streams
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
Local Man Discovers Gravity Optional After Mixing Beverages, Botanicals! You've had that night: a good buzz, then a little 'extra,' and suddenly your world's doing the Macarena. Turns out, alcohol and THC together are less 'dynamic duo' and more 'disaster waiting to happen.' It's like trying to parallel park a monster truck in a teacup – read on for the dude science.

The Cosmic Kentucky Parallels of Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
What's brewing in Eastern Kentucky? Maybe it's the iron, maybe it's ghosts, or maybe just heartache aged over banjos and bourbon. Whatever it is, it's birthed Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson, two genre-bending, soul-slapping artists who sound like they time-traveled to punch mainstream country in the teeth. Their albums, though different on the surface, are spiritually aligned. Let's talk about it.

Man on the Move
 | Why Compromise is KeyDudes, we're constantly told to "stand our ground," "never back down," and "get what's ours." We dig in our heels, draw lines in the sand, and prepare for battle. But that rigid stance often leaves us isolated. The victory, if it comes, feels hollow, and soon you're looking for the next argument. |
True strength isn't found in winning every fight, but in building bridges.
Here's the Move: Shift your mindset. Prioritize understanding, seek common ground, or simply find a middle path that works for everyone. Embrace flexibility, seek solutions, not stalemates.
Why bother? Because compromise creates stronger relationships, builds trust, and connects you with others. It appreciates value in shared outcomes, becoming stories you tell and lessons you carry, unlike stubbornness which often creates resentment and division. People remember how you made them feel, and the solutions you shared.
You don't need to win every point. Just a more connected life.
