John Wayne Lied to You

When you're a band on the road you rely on the kindness of strangers to help you out with things. Sometimes it's food, or drugs, or even a place to stay. In this episode, johnwayneisdead find themselves in Arkansas getting a heaping dose of piss-soaked hospitality.

Hi, everyone! Today I got really high, and thought back to the first time I took part in the ganja. What a time it was, and what a path it has sent me down to this day. Like it or not, it only feels like the first time the first time.

Everyone has a person in their life who has the right advice you should always take, but you most of the time don't. That person for me is my good friend Nick P. In this story I examine the importance of some advice he gave to me, and how badly I wish I would have taken it.

If you play in a band it's a sure bet you'll have your share of bad gigs. Sometimes it's your own fault, but other times the surrounding circumstances are beyond your control. When these gigs happen you have to take into account the 'little things' that make it worthwhile including chance encounters with strange, bearded men in a bathroom.

Hurrucane Harvey hit Houston two weeks ago, and it's impossible not to know someone affect. This week I keep the story topical telling of how I myself weathered the storm as well as other experiences during the storm. Houston Strong!

A trip to the dog park is always a special treat for the pups. There are new dogs to pal around with, and new asses to smell. Unfortunately, the owners have to come with the dogs, and while most dog people are awesome some are assholes. Take a listen to this story to find out which one I am . . .

This episode is dedicated to the best dog ever, Lebowski. He was my best friend for over 11 years, and he recently passed a few days before this recording. Rest in Power Lebowski!

Every good stoner knows the significance of the number 420. It's one of those things that's kind of childish, but still celebrated by smokers from all walks of life. In this story the weed gods focus their powers on your hero to bestow many coveted blessings upon me. Now, if I only had a better memory . . .

Going through puberty can be like having an undiagnosable disease. The symptoms vary and never fail to throw you for a loop. While experiencing this 'change' myself I would sprout mega-hard surprise boners all the time. This is the story of one of those said boners, and the yellow rose that pushed me over the edge.

Friendship is defined differently by everyone, but the friendships that come about due to some absurd or unusual shared experience tend to be the strongest. At least that's how you might have to think about it after this story. Fond out the origin of JW and Kris Jett's friendship, how they came to be Awesome Dudes 4 Life, and the importance of being Milhouse.

In the reckless abandon of our youth we tend to feel invincible, unstoppable, and un-catchable. I felt this same way myself when I tried to allude the Huntsville Police Department back in my days at good ol' Sam Houston State University. And i would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling . . . oh fuck it. I'm just dumb as hell.
