ABOUT JC AND WILL (AKA, THE DUDES)
Dude… welcome to our website!
We are JC Crum and Will Skaggs, and we are two dudes who became friends in 1998 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The summer before our fifth grade year, our mothers scheduled a play date for us to get to know each other since JC was going to be new to our school.
On that fateful day, as we were about to meet for the very first time, no one could have ever predicted the madness that was about to happen. As JC approached Will, he said in his best British accent:
“Behold the power of cheese!”
This is a true story. There was no “Hello, nice to meet you! I’m JC!” Or, “Hi there! I’m JC, what’s you’re name?”
He took a bold chance with a super bizarre strategy. But in the end it paid off, because we soon became best pals, bonded by our love of silly humor and every-day oddities.
This podcast is dedicated to that very premise. We never know where the conversation is going to end up, but we can promise that it will be weird and silly.
Ever since we were kids, whenever we had something really funny to say or a wild story to tell, we always (unintentionally) prefaced it by saying, “Dude…”
Hence the name of the podcast.
So if you’re listening to us while you’re on your morning commute, or working out at the gym, or cooking a dinner for your family, we hope it puts a little pep in your step.
This is us at a Tex Mex restaurant, playing hooky from class back in 2006. We convinced our server to take a picture with us to commemorate our wild experience. Just a couple of dudes havin’ a little fun.
A lot to unpack here. But the one thing you need to take away from this image is that we were cool cats in the fifth grade. Also, please note our good pal Jordan Hill on the far left.
