#396 Today's Boondoggle- Recovering from an Amerikan Overdose

*Is Amerikan Overdose the Hardest-Working Band in Metal Right Now? 🤘🔥*On this wild episode of *Today’s Boondoggle**, Bill sits down with **Amerikan Overdose* to break down the raw, unfiltered grind behind building a metal band from the ground up. From Cody landing his first radio DJ gig as a literal baby, to navigating Portland’s tight-knit (and sometimes incestuous) music scene, this conversation pulls back the curtain on real hustle. The band opens up about how this current lineup came together, why every member has a role beyond just playing music, and how pure hard work beats luck every time.They dive into life on the road, festival chaos, side hustles that actually pay the bills, and the hilarious (and brutal) nickname of being called “Temu Slipknot.” The conversation gets even spicier with stories about *Mushroomhead**, collaborating with **Waylon* on Letting Go*, ongoing beef with **Stitch**, and **Jeffrey Nothing’s* offer to take them out on the road. No PR polish—just metal, honesty, and controlled chaos.*Are bands like Amerikan Overdose bringing real grit back to heavy music?**Discounts available on the following Partnerships for Today's Boondoggle Fans:*👉 [https://vseeboxus.com/affiliate-progr...](https://vseeboxus.com/affiliate-progr...)👉 Today’s Boondoggle fans receive *10% off* at *dreemnutrition.com* with promo code *BOONDOG10* at checkout.👉 Today’s Boondoggle fans receive *10% off* at *TNT-Health.com* using promo code *BOONDOGGLE* at checkout.👉 Today’s Boondoggle fans receive *10% off* at *Pure Plank**: [https://gopureplank.com/](https://gopureplank.com/) using **BOONDOG10* at checkout.👉 Please subscribe to our *YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, Brighteon, and Bitchute* channels and hit the notification button.
