Does Smoking Weed Actually Tank Your Memory?
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
Walk into a room and forget why you’re there? Was it age, or that gummy you popped last night? Turns out weed might fog your memory, but it’s less brain-frying and more like driving with a dirty windshield—read on before you blame the bud for every “where are my keys” moment.
Oliver’s Questions
In case you missed it. Turns out, my main source of inspiration for these articles is a pint-sized, 9-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.
IQ Tests: Why They’re Kinda Bullshit and Why Wisdom Wins
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
IQ tests tell you how fast you can spot triangles, but not how to fix a leaky sink or calm your screaming toddler. Turns out wisdom is the real cheat code, so let’s stop worshipping bubbles on a scantron and start pouring one out for common sense.
The History of Food Trucks.
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
Food trucks are not just a hipster trend with kombucha on tap. These rolling kitchens started with cowboys slinging beans in 1866 and evolved into Korean tacos with a side of Instagram filters. Read on for a brief history lesson for your next trivia night.
Man on the Move
 | Your Future Is Created by What You Do Today, Not TomorrowDude, how many times have you told yourself, “I’ll start tomorrow”? Tomorrow I’ll eat clean. Tomorrow I’ll get serious about the gym. Tomorrow I’ll launch that project. But here’s the truth: tomorrow is just today’s excuse wearing a new outfit. |
Someone once told me, “the version of you five years from now is built by the choices you make before dinner tonight”. At first it felt dramatic, but he was right, every skipped rep, every delayed decision, every “I’ll do it later” compounds just like interest… only in the wrong direction.
Here’s the Move: Don’t romanticize tomorrow. Look at one thing in front of you right now that feels small, unimportant, maybe even boring and do it anyway. Write the email. Knock out the set. Cook the clean meal. Today’s tiny actions are tomorrow’s momentum.
Why bother? Because momentum doesn’t appear out of thin air; it’s manufactured in the now. You want a stronger body, a sharper mind, a bigger life? That future self doesn’t arrive by luck; it’s engineered by what you choose in this exact moment. Tomorrow is always a mirage.
You don’t need to overhaul your life in one dramatic leap. You just need to win today. Then stack enough “todays,” and suddenly the future you’ve been waiting for… is the one you’ve been quietly building all along.

Raising Fit Kids Without Losing Your Mind
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read
Want your kids off Roblox and into real life? Turns out the best way to raise fit kids isn’t lectures or kale smoothies, it’s showing up, sweating with them, and making exercise look more like tag than torture.
