Francis Dana Dana was early in Missoula Montana and then Sant area I I was yeah
00:03:21
my wife was just up in Montana visiting relatives so we've got some kind of countryfied vibe I I love Montana I'm a
00:03:28
big fan of Montana yeah Western Montana in the summer it's kind of like
00:03:34
okay why would anyone ever be anywhere else yeah I did uh I did a few cities I
00:03:40
don't know what side of Montana it was but uh it was so great but yeah it's the winner that gets you the 70 below um
00:03:48
yeah it gets your attention sounds good at first and then it's almost as big as
00:03:54
California and it's got like 700,000 people I mean it's that because the winter can't get people in there the
00:04:01
Winner's brutal yeah where is your accent right now within the southern Continuum is it a little combo of
00:04:07
Alabama and North Carolina or I don't know what's happening uh my wife is
00:04:13
Canadian um my wife yeah okay all right well there you go I grew up uh in
00:04:18
Alabama turns them out Alabama mostly right and I uh my brother-in-law was
00:04:24
from Michigan he married he started dating my sister my sister's 11 years older than me so he came into my life
00:04:29
very young my accent started to get mixed up then I moved to Charleston South Carolina where all my friends were
00:04:36
like from Ohio uh and uh they just and then I moved back to Nashville and I got a
00:04:42
little Southern again uh but it's a a real mixed up accent you know when did
00:04:48
you add the nasal uh I think I think that's always been there I think uh I got kneed in the
00:04:55
throat one time when I was I was on the wrestling team and I was talking raspy
00:05:01
after that and I kind of think it's stuck it's kind of good it's very unique
00:05:06
it's at least you know you need things to stand out I always wondered like when I would I was in high school and I ran
00:05:12
track cross country and then you go in the gym and you see the the the dudes wrestling it never had any appeal for me
00:05:19
I would have been in the 90 pound weight class I don't know if that's is there something lighter than flyweight as a
00:05:25
freshman any well I think the light uh weight class is where you want to be you know if you're real like if you're real
00:05:31
ripped my problem was I was in a fairly lightweight class but the guy that I had
00:05:36
to wrestle against was like I mean just shredded like there was no reason we
00:05:42
were supposed to weigh the same I didn't join because were you
00:05:48
allowed to wrestle if you weren't gay this is a real question um I'm kidding when I I but I Dana I was in
00:05:54
weightlifting and we'll delete that when I was in weightlifting which why was I we lifting we don't know I weighed 114
00:06:01
but it was an elective and when I was a sophomore I could bench 185 D it when I
00:06:06
was 114 no no you didn't let's keep it truth truthy here you know I think I
00:06:12
think he's got the clean podcast we have the sometimes fibbing no but I'm gonna win with Dusty do you think a 114 pound
00:06:20
High School could could honestly bench 180 pounds I mean I think that'd be tough I don't really know the
00:06:25
translation I don't know how it works out that seems like a lot you're like sounds more than your body weight well
00:06:31
Uber driver in Arizona I think who said he took weightlifting with you for real
00:06:36
oh yeah that's very true that's very true and it checks out because I wasn't any
00:06:42
good I didn't really lift the weights per se I think that was just like a suggestion but I uh was we were in a
00:06:49
weightlifting room the whole day and I'm like do we actually get around to it or do I just lay down take a super
00:06:55
adolescent WR a passage how what's the most push-ups you've ever done in your life honest
00:07:03
push-ups well I mean I would you know I went through a little workout phase I mean I would say I maybe did 40 at one
00:07:09
point I was really like I was really lifting it I got I was getting wild I got beat up one time as a drinker and
00:07:16
then I really uh hit the weights after that you know it's funny but you're still drunk which makes it harder to
00:07:21
fight that's you know what I mean that's the bummer but you don't feel the punches right yeah right I I did get
00:07:27
punched a lot and I took it pretty well CU I was pretty drunk yeah my brother came home uh I had three older brothers
00:07:34
he had 10 Heinekens he was like 18 he' never drink in his life and he had pink
00:07:40
pink popcorn at the fair and threw all up over my dad's car so then he came in
00:07:45
and he was so drunk my dad was just he was sitting on the bed and he was doing left right left right I thought I was
00:07:51
witnessing something real horrible but my dad broke his hand on his head the first punch wait they were fighting
00:07:57
right when he came no no Mark was just drunk so he was just sitting on the bed in a stoer with a smile on his face my
00:08:03
dad was just unloading on him who weighed about 180 but he broke his hand and then we had to tell everybody for
00:08:09
weeks that he bumped it on the coffee table well that seems like a very tragic story that you just yeah that got very
00:08:16
tragic very light tragic story well you know the carvey's we were just like the Sons Of Katie Elder we were you know
00:08:22
hard driving just you know I mean fighting carve it was the 60s how was
00:08:27
your childhood I mean with your I mean was it violent like that or was it no I mean I grew up in a trailer park and it
00:08:33
was like you know there was every reason that it should have been violent but it was uh pretty chill I mean you know
00:08:40
people were drinking around me but they were having a good time you're our first trailer park guest that's fascinating
00:08:47
okay all right well I appreciate it uh yeah you know I mean thanks for having me I guess that you've excluded trailer
00:08:53
park people up until this point so I I'm happy to break the barrier well the cliche of trailer park is the word
00:08:59
trailer park trash I didn't invent it it's become kind of a meme so what was your experience like nice neighbors kind
00:09:07
of fun you didn't feel you were poor it was just cool I mean I assume
00:09:13
yeah right I answer question yeah I mean that is it I mean I thought you were
00:09:19
reading my bio U that's what I assume that cliches um are often not true yeah
00:09:25
I mean you know they were definitely the you know the cliche people in my trailer park but yeah I mean we had a you know
00:09:31
our trailer was a little messy my mom dated some married men I have sisters
00:09:37
not related to each other but we were all having a good time you know well wait a minute so that became your which
00:09:44
I love your your I don't know reoccurring phrase I don't want to call it a catchphrase we're having a good
00:09:50
time manra yeah yeah so people I like a mantra just a quick plug in the middle
00:09:56
of the interview we're having a good time Dusty Slade Netflix sitting there really great standup special tight tight
00:10:04
funny and you come off you really I think you're maybe the most like casual
00:10:10
guy coming out there I mean it there's no pretense I mean it's like just you're
00:10:16
just hanging out it's it's very I come out like a dancing monkey trying to get a laugh and you come out so chill it's
00:10:23
very relaxing to watch and then it gets just funnier and funnier well yeah you know I um I I I started doing comedy I
00:10:30
started doing improv first and I was never very good at playing a character
00:10:36
and everybody would come out I was doing improv with very good improvisers but they would all come out and they would be doing a thing and they would be real
00:10:43
silly and I always had a hard time doing that I just I don't know I feel like that I uh you know it's like I don't
00:10:51
know I don't want to take myself so serious that I'm just like I'm just coming out to I just want to tell you
00:10:57
these things and I hope you laugh at them sort of thing yeah improv is terrifying I like in his bio Dana says
00:11:04
slay moved to Charleston South Carolina and joined the hot improv comedy scene of South Carolina is that a big comedy
00:11:11
is that in my bio improv yeah it's funny I was in Charleston two days ago Dude
00:11:16
how about that I've never been there it's also in your bio that you will you hate wearing hats oh okay in your bio
00:11:22
people just write bios I don't know how they end up where it's all made up yeah they but I should be a bio writer yeah
00:11:29
go ahead I'm always looking for a bio writer but uh cuz a bio gets written and
00:11:35
then it just is out there and then bio was the funniest word and then you you know I go and I do a corporate event and
00:11:41
people are reading the bio and I'm like oh don't read that just bring me out they introduce you this next guy grew up
00:11:48
in a trailer park in opala Alabama right I'm like after high school he listed in
00:11:53
the Army but did not attend boot camp due to legal issues what the [ __ ] is that is that in my bio I mean
00:12:01
that's introduction yes well I joined the army and in between joining and getting shipped off I got arrested for
00:12:09
Weed and Alcohol so I couldn't go because my court date came after my ship off date Oh I thought it was spinal
00:12:16
biffet on no no I got no that's the legal issue I don't know why they roed it as a legal issue like I didn't pay my
00:12:22
taxes I got had a real Trump on our alcohol was legal but weed was illegal I assume at that point yeah I mean well I
00:12:30
got you know I got arrested for underage consumption I was 19 and I had an open bottle in my car and the the policeman
00:12:37
he put me in the car and then he comes back and he go he said you're under arrest for the underage consumption of
00:12:43
alcohol and then he goes back to my car finds the weed and as he's putting my buddy in the car he goes oh by the way
00:12:50
you're also under arrest for possession of marijuana and I'm basically like you know I'm trying to join the Army and
00:12:57
clean up my life right you're going to arrest me and now I'm going to live in a trailer for the next two years doing
00:13:04
worse drugs who is your kid rock I don't know if this is
00:13:10
a my brother my brother drove through the South with a
00:13:16
friend and he had a guy pull him over and he he does a pretty he has a pretty good ear and it was like I'd like you
00:13:22
boys to step outside of the car right now and it was kind of scary because
00:13:28
movies that are again sort of stereotypical of the Southern sheriff is a little you don't want to hear that in
00:13:34
that accent yeah well I was living in Alabama and I didn't want to hear it in that accent I didn't want to hear it in
00:13:41
any accent though to be honest with you and that really must have bummed you up because you honestly were trying to
00:13:46
clean up your life and go in the army right yeah I was I had gone you know I I was working at Western sizin and I was
00:13:53
getting high all the time and this guy was telling me about how Sor Western sizin is that steak a restaurant yeah
00:14:00
it's a steakhouse it just closed the one in opica just closed this past Saturday it's a very sad day they sayy Sligh work
00:14:07
there with a plaque or anything they they did not you know I made a joke about them on my Netflix special and
00:14:13
about uh people sweating into the green beans and uh I don't think that wasn't the promo they were looking for they
00:14:19
closed a week later now were you a waiter or a bus boy
00:14:26
or dishwasher I was a waiter I was the only waiter it was all all 50y old women and I was an 18year old boy working
00:14:33
there I am Dusty I'd like to check out our specials we have catfish and carp
00:14:39
yeah and then I would get a quarter for a tip and uh and so when the guy was like joining the
00:14:46
Army was great I got to see a lot of the world I was like oh yeah I'm into that so I went to the recruiter's office
00:14:52
right after work and joined meanwhile you're a dishwasher in the Army you got the idea and right after work you got
00:14:58
took off off your apron like Norma Ray went to a recruiter's Place yeah and
00:15:04
uh they were like happy to see me walk in they were like this is what I'm talking about and then you know and then
00:15:11
they helped me you know they talked to me about getting off weed and uh you know this and that and I start running I
00:15:17
start learning the military alphabet I mean I am all in ABC what's the military alphabet again
00:15:24
you know like Alpha Beta or whatever oh yeah yeah yeah call signs Charlie something like that sort that's right
00:15:30
Charlie one good good to kill I didn't I didn't learn it I just I started Al rabbit
00:15:37
hamster did you actually sign up or you're just sort of getting ready to be go into boot camp yeah well I signed up
00:15:44
and uh you know they went we went and did the physical and everything where they go and you know examine your body
00:15:50
doctor shrugs his shoulders and goes he'll he'll do yeah exactly they you know they they make you do weird things
00:15:56
and you know they touch and they look at your butthole and stuff like that and then uh okay what's the what's the bad
00:16:02
part well sorry I'm are we back to the policeman or was that still at the
00:16:07
doct well not you know none of it was bad except for you know they tell you they're like you can't tell them you
00:16:13
ever smoked weed or did any other drugs or you won't be able to get in and so it's like the government teaching you to
00:16:20
lie to the government to work for the government sort of wow and I'm like I don't know why
00:16:26
we're doing this let's just be honest about it you know but my recruiter when I get home my
00:16:31
recruiter goes he goes all right I know I probably shouldn't tell you this but I know you like agent yeah yes exactly
00:16:37
he's like I know you like to smoke weed and they're going to drug test you when you get shipped off in 30 days so if you
00:16:43
want to do it do it tonight and then that night I got arrested for weed oh my
00:16:49
God yeah wow it worked out I would have been shipped off in August of 2001 so I would
00:16:56
have been in boot camp When September 11 happen oh no uh yeah just a a more
00:17:04
particular time in the military you're going Afghanistan tomorrow I know so it really worked out I mean you know I was
00:17:10
hoping to go to like you know I don't know Amsterdam and Thailand and places like that and instead I was like yeah
00:17:17
I'd be in I'd be fighting you really would have been fighting I know people did you really
00:17:22
did you think that there's some scenario where you'd be fighting or was that the whole idea no it's like you know that
00:17:28
it's seems weird to even think about but during that time there was like a real moment of Peace at least what we were
00:17:34
being told anyway could maybe scammed through pre 911 1990s pre 911 yeah I was
00:17:40
like yeah I'm just going to get some free college here see a little bit of the world and I'm going to get right out of here just gonna be a good time for me
00:17:48

00:18:19
had no idea had no idea anything she's like she you didn't know what she meant cuz she goes Dusty 911 happened yeah and
00:18:26
you go what does that mean I go is that what time it is yeah Ian I'm like she's like well this will be called 911 but
00:18:33
today's 911 yeah she was in on
00:18:39
[Music] it now let's get back to the fact that you know your friends with Kid Rock cuz
00:18:45
you're from wherever Nashville I met Kid Rock a couple of times so you're very close
00:18:52
close friends right yeah yeah best friends he Looney rock is funny because
00:18:58
he's sort of the mayor of Nashville he runs around and when I play Zanies I don't know many people I actually
00:19:05
invited Carrie Underwood once she was nice enough to come down she uh yeah I don't really know her that well she's
00:19:11
super sweet came down to godam zany's they were flipping out over her of course uh Kid Rock that goddamn goat
00:19:18
roper came down and uh then we went to his place but he's one of those guys
00:19:23
that you know he has so such a horrible rap right now but I uh I always liked
00:19:29
the guy I he did me a huge favor he came blindly into the Joe Dirt to do it he just said if and that's the best movie
00:19:36
role he's ever had I mean it's unbelievable yeah I mean I I I I saw it when I was in Charleston I'm not even
00:19:42
lying I haven't seen it in 10 years it was on and and so I was just watching it
00:19:47
going oh I don't remember this you know and Christopher Walkin was sounding so Christopher Walkin Dana it was so funny
00:19:53
how crazy he did his lines loved him um but I I saw kid rocking I was like God
00:19:59
he is good in this and people like you should never talk to him again and I go well you can't start with someone like
00:20:05
have a a good beginning of a friendship and then the way he thinks now and talks
00:20:10
I just think we're always what is the what is the problem with uh people having different opinions I don't I'm
00:20:17
not aware of it I'm just like maybe he has a different point of view on americ well Robbie is a great character he goes
00:20:24
uh did I get you dirt he go no I'm cool he goes no you're not I mean that's like
00:20:29
the best line ever I mean it's like he sprays me with rocks I think
00:20:34
twice or three times with his TransAm it's so you know that Trans Am had 87 miles on it for for some reason
00:20:42
they got us the best newest trans movie cars are a big deal they just sold the main Joe Dirt car a month ago in an
00:20:50
auction and uh I should have bought it but it's too much 300 Grand or something but the uh but it's you know these
00:20:57
movies these comedies from the 90s they just get shinier and brighter as time goes on because then you look at Joe
00:21:03
Dirt on TV and you're go this is just really funny and so silly and I'm very happy watching it you know right he
00:21:10
pulled up in the thing to yell at me and Christopher walk at the end of the movie and he climbs up out of the sunroof to
00:21:16
yell at us and the stupid story Dana that we have this car that's like
00:21:21
Immaculate for some reason instead of just an old TransAm we wrote in they brought us a great one I'm like we don't need a great one and then of course he
00:21:28
ripped the [ __ ] uh seat fabric with his shoe
00:21:33
while he's climbing up and then they had AIP a conniption fit no Kid Rock and so they're like oh you damaged this perfect
00:21:40
car I'm like oh my God that was a big story that day of course now who cares but then um because I tried to buy that
00:21:46
car too we tried to get hi my name is from Eminem for the trailer and Kid Rock
00:21:53
was his buddy and we couldn't get it for the price but Eminem did come to the
00:21:58
premere which is I love because I love Eminem but overall we're back to Kid Rock Kid Rock did a great job he's fun
00:22:05
every time I go to Nashville I see him I see him sometimes in LA but yeah there is that thing where people go don't get a picture with him I go just relax I'll
00:22:12
get a picture with whoever I did the Kid Rock Comedy Jam at the Ryman it was great last year I did it not this year I
00:22:17
didn't getbody back but I had a hot set but um no it was good it was great and I saw him at zes and uh yeah I mean he
00:22:25
likes to have fun yeah yeah if I were still drinking I mean it'd be a blast I mean I would I would have never made it
00:22:31
to where I'm at in comedy if I had kept drinking but if I were still drinking I mean i' I'd be all about a a kid rock
00:22:37
party I think can I ask you because I I'm always curious about well at your Peak how much were you consuming in a
00:22:44
what type of alcohol well the the thing for me for some reason this was always
00:22:49
in my mind and I don't know why but I always wanted to take a sober day each week I was like I got to have one sober
00:22:55
day and I Pro that I'm not really a yeah I think so and I think in the end
00:23:01
that helped me right because I got buddies that would stop and they go through all these weird alcohol withdrawals and have hallucinations it
00:23:08
didn't really happen to me I was mainly drinking like Bud lighter I lik a cools heavy uh that was my my favorites but I
00:23:15
also would get into bourbon uh you know like the banquet beer that's what I always called it was the CO's heavy
00:23:22
right like pretty light bourbon there was a bar in Charleston it was on James Island called The Oasis and it was this
00:23:29
real trashy bar where you could smoke cigarettes inside and they would do buy one get two free Bourbons so we would go
00:23:37
there and just get a we would get a triple bourbon with a little little taste of Coke in there and that's what
00:23:43
we would drink and uh smoke black and mildes and stuff and just really just
00:23:49
destroy ourselves and uh yeah uh but you know it was a good time you know it was in my 20s and then I and then I quit but
00:23:56
at 29 so you know uh I'm able to uh look back and joke about you look good what
00:24:02
are you 55 yeah 62 and great what are you 70 62
00:24:09
today according to your bio so you look back I'm sorry go ahead you look back glad you did it you look
00:24:17
back and and now you know the the thing is is that drinking when human beings
00:24:23
eat a quart of ice cream or drink too you know every human consumption thing
00:24:28
is kind of funny I mean there's a point if it a DUI or a tragedy it's a tragedy but it's funny just a human being
00:24:36
drinking so much alcohol they're throwing up did you get hangovers much or were you just someone who didn't get
00:24:41
hangovers oh I you know I got all of the things you know I would get hangovers I would black out sometimes I would throw
00:24:48
up some because people say you either throw up or you black out and I would do a little of both you know I mean I Mi it
00:24:54
up yeah you know I've been known to have brunch go have some you know champagne
00:25:00
and orange juice and then uh as we switch in to from brunch to kind of
00:25:05
happy hour time you move on to a bourbon and then they don't really mix and then you go throw up and you come back and
00:25:11
you go all right I'm good now I don't like that comeback guy once you throw up just tap out but nope it ain't over yeah
00:25:19
I mean I didn't do it a lot usually throw up would would would you know I would be out but you know sometimes put
00:25:25
a damper on the afternoon yeah just you know you you clean up and you come back in you know I always tell people if they
00:25:33
ask me like there's nothing more dangerous than an insecure man after midnight with alcohol in his system so
00:25:41
did you ever have to fight well I would say I was that guy
00:25:46
you know I was that inse you were throwing pun yeah I mean I would get
00:25:51
into fights but mainly it was all verbal stuff you know I've always been very good at talking trash like at least as a
00:25:59
drinker but but I'm uh like like nothing to back it up do you remember one of
00:26:04
your lines well I say good but I mean you know I was just good at like get
00:26:09
getting to the uh you know really getting to someone in a way to where they're like they Wen they didn't want
00:26:15
to do anything they were like I don't know if this guy can fight or not but I'm I would rather not ta out yeah you
00:26:20
never know that's the thing is and you gamble that they don't want to fight you just want to sound cool in front of the ladies at 2 a.m. right but you know I
00:26:27
only got beat up one time so I feel like for all the times I trash talk that was
00:26:32
pretty good I mean you know I always had a lot of buddies that were pretty good Fighters or at least seemed like it and
00:26:37
they liked me they like to get wild and so they kind of wanted a reason to fight
00:26:43
and I was like that guy it never really came to that I last had a fist fight in seventh
00:26:51
grade okay and that was like a you know big thing scary but I wonder as an adult
00:26:56
when you're in a bar fight the moment where you realize in your own mind I'm getting beaten up right now like is it
00:27:03
sudden like I'm losing sucks that must be a terrible feel yeah
00:27:08
that moment was I my face was on the sidewalk and a guy was punching me in the face and I was like okay I'm about
00:27:15
done with this you know and you know that's that when I'm getting beat up like that I go hey what are we even doing here what what are we like once
00:27:22
you start losing you change your tune a little bit yeah you're like this is immature guys this is so dumb and I got
00:27:29
up and I had a good attitude about it I said you know I had this coming and uh and you know sure we tried to find the
00:27:35
guy but uh you know I had I was had this C I don't think I'd be a big uh Shak
00:27:41
hands guy after I don't I see people do that I don't know if I love that no I don't like that either I'm not that good of a sportsman no walk away yeah so so
00:27:50
you're 29 you quit drinking I don't know what tell us I just want to hear how you became Dusty slle the uh head Ling comic
00:27:59
you know fighting through that Battlefield emotionally well at 29 pesticide salesman yeah well I was
00:28:05
selling pesticides all this time and I think that that was part of it right as I was like I hated I hated my job during
00:28:13
the day you go door to door you go door to door and go anone I would go to Lowe's and Home Dep I was a sales rep oh
00:28:20
gotcha so I would go to the manager and be like hey you know I a good Spectra
00:28:26
side display would really look good hereby by the front door and then he'd go nah we're not going to do that and
00:28:31
then so when he left I would tear down the display that was there and then I would build my what a dick and build it oh you just
00:28:39
just when he was gone you just displace it and put all the time yeah your company most so loved you you don't s
00:28:45
proud of that that's what they want you to do that's what they wanted you to do you know and it was all about the picture you just had to get the picture
00:28:52
of the display it didn't matter what happened after and then send it back into them and then they'd be like wow
00:28:57
that's awesome they put you in the bulletin and then they go oh Dusty slays getting some big wins down in
00:29:05
Charleston some big W's down at the Piggly Wiggly so you got
00:29:10
you got money for the first time in your life maybe yeah yeah so I yeah so I was uh you know so then you know um and I
00:29:17
was also waiting tables downtown um Charleston so I was like you know I was in with the real drinking crew but I you
00:29:24
know I started doing improv and standup and then at uh 29 2011 I won uh the
00:29:31
local comedy competition so I won a th000 bucks and I was like all right that's how many years of doing it before
00:29:37
you won that uh I would say I would say three three good years into three good
00:29:42
years of actually working on it yeah that's pretty good though yeah and then I quit drinking and then so by the time
00:29:48
the 2012 competition came around I won it again but I won by like miles I mean
00:29:54
I was like I really tightened up a year of rety really tightened up my
00:30:01
comedy anyone listening that's a really good life lesson right there yeah really tightened it up and then um and then so
00:30:09
then the next two years I really worked on Comedy in Charleston and then decided to move to
00:30:15
Nashville uh because I wanted to basically be a road comic you know L
00:30:21
Nashville is one of the few few cities you can do that Dana where you can you know there's San Fran had a pretty big
00:30:26
scene I don't know if it's still as but La New York right maybe Austin now uh
00:30:32
and Nashville I think but does Nashville have enough clubs well Nashville uh you know we only have one Club really but we
00:30:39
have two rooms now but it wasn't you know and I had an in at zany's which was the only Club I had an in at um but I um
00:30:48
but it also about the cities that are around it there's all these cities you know Birmingham at three hours Lexington
00:30:54
Kentucky three hours Louisville so you can drive within eight hours there's so many
00:31:00
cities with clubs okay so I started getting in as a feature really working the road and so you start as a feature and
00:31:08
obviously you're going to headline how long did that take and did you have people trying to [ __ ] with you I mean
00:31:14
you know the club scene can be pretty brutal especially when someone's climbing up there's a lot of if you hang out with the comics yeah you know it's a
00:31:20
little bit of Psy psychological warfare uh it was always okay for me because
00:31:26
I've always just been nice to people people I mean you know I I made enemies along the way I mean people start
00:31:32
disliking me for no reason I don't know why because you're good probably maybe and and you know I'm clean too and when
00:31:39
I would book shows I would want other Comics to be clean and then they would try to like uh act like I'm trying to
00:31:45
censor everyone and I'm like I just don't I don't even need you to be that clean I just don't need you to say the
00:31:50
worst possible things that come to your mind that's all I need you're always
00:31:56
ready for corporate gigs though which is nice when you're clean because you don't have to do anything well that's yeah I
00:32:02
mean that's what I'm all about is trying to create the kind of set that no matter where I'm at I can just do it yeah I
00:32:10
don't have to go oh what is this I'm doing let me try you know if it's too clean then I'll have to take out weed
00:32:15
jokes and stuff like that but uh for the most part I'm like yeah I just do my jokes I think Seinfeld was like that I
00:32:22
think um is like that I think Leno DOA Al Nate is you know Morey presently
00:32:28
doing great which is clean which is just known for being clean which is not what it used to be but there's a lot of
00:32:35
people that have gotten more R-rated and Jeff Jeff Foxworthy is oh Foxworthy yeah for sure yeah you know I thinking that
00:32:42
you know the the southern comedians you know Ron White and Jeff and um Larry the
00:32:48
Cable Guy Dan you know those guys those Southern Comics were huge and I'd be
00:32:54
playing Minneapolis or something and I'm who's coming in and it was uh it was Jeff or somebody on a on a golf colge
00:33:01
bill angal yeah they they monetized standup in a brilliant way with marketing and books and there's
00:33:08
something that Heritage and and now we have Bert and you and others you know it's kind of interesting do you think
00:33:14
about that I mean that that those Southern comics and they tour together
00:33:20
and they they all got incredibly wealthy I believe oh yeah well I've worked with
00:33:25
most of them and I and talk to them about it but you know I don't know that uh you know that sort of thing really
00:33:32
would work now but I you know especially that branding that's why I don't try to do the Blue Collar branding but I called
00:33:38
my special working man you know because my whole idea is to you know just you
00:33:43
know I don't know I worked you know man of the people kind of yeah I worked for 15 20 years uh just doing regular jobs
00:33:50
before I became a comic so I'm like you know I can relate to people on uh being broke and working a job that you hate uh
00:33:58
so that's what I'm into and it's I well you're succeeding immeasurably because I watching your special which early when
00:34:04
we got on the zoom working man was right above we're having a good time but that's not the name of the special yeah it's working man yeah I'm okay with them
00:34:12
thinking it's we're having a good time though if uh they search it that's fine and also your name's easy to search yes
00:34:18
you know Dusty slay is that your real name because it's a pretty cool name it
00:34:23
is my real name you know there I have a little debate with myself right my parents they they named me Dustin right
00:34:31
and then they wrote down Dustin on the birth certificate but never called me that no one's ever called me that so if
00:34:37
my parents call me Dusty I mean does it make any difference that they wrote down Dustin that's what I cares it's still a
00:34:45
subsidiary of Dustin your it happens all the time you get a name and then someone's named Thomas and then they're
00:34:52
Tommy um or whatever you know it's very common but what yeah why even call him Thomas you know I guess I don't know I
00:34:58
guess it's some professionalism that you may want at some point in your life I don't know yeah I know someone who named
00:35:04
their baby Olie no no Oliver and I thought the kid's gonna just be olly just know that
00:35:11
yeah you know everyone's gonna call hey Ollie and that's just different you know yeah you know what the only on Dustin
00:35:18
Dustin WR and David the only that caught on was
00:35:23
[ __ ] and I thought it would be Dave or Davey but kind of went sou hate when
00:35:29
they go that far away that far removed let's keep one letter you started
00:35:37
with you just took the D it's very lazy nicknaming it is a lazy nickname that's
00:35:43
a shame it's a shame it is it a shame it was slow
00:35:49
hanging fruit I mean that's obvious David you know it's such an easy transition
00:35:58
[Music] and then when I played tennis this joke's not over when I played tennis um
00:36:05
I said I want to be known as the Spade of Ace because you know it just writes
00:36:10
itself and then in the paper they they said pendick wins again I'm like I why
00:36:16
that now you're not even you're throwing everything out the window you can't make yourself a cool nickname you never can I
00:36:22
know that's the problem Spade was good enough just leave it Spade of Ace I mean that's a
00:36:28
I like that yeah but Dusty sleigh I mean it is kind of it's it's definitely could
00:36:34
be an outlaw in a western or something and it has a a badass vibe to it yeah it
00:36:40
worked out for me if that if I want to switch from Comedy and just you know be a serial killer any kind of thing the
00:36:45
name Works anything you that's kind of catchy like the BTK killer is catchy you know Dusty
00:36:53
SLE BTK yeah Dusty sleigh Dusty slay you're
00:36:59
compared to him a lot I think yeah I don't know who BTK is but um he's a
00:37:05
killer yeah okay serial killer I stand for Dan but I don't know a lot of them
00:37:10
Son of Sam that's what what's the most famous Ted Bundy Son of Sam these are
00:37:15
famous serial killers for 10 Bob David oh yeah my Siri my Siri just pulled up
00:37:21
BTK killer because it heard me oh man I think it stands for I don't B bound torture kill okay
00:37:32
yeah seral he seems like you I mean his positive things about him seem like you he travels a
00:37:38
lot maybe I you know all things about serial killers are not bad it's the it's
00:37:44
the killing part that is really the best part last the very last last part they're fun on dates they're POS they're
00:37:50
so quiet they tend to themselves they have wasar very goodlooking charismatic
00:37:56
you know it's like those are good qualities it's just don't you know don't kill people that's the whole key to life
00:38:03
really and the name of your next special yeah don't kill people yeah how do you manage it I'm just
00:38:10
curious for a sec how you um because uh to to you got to invent a style you have
00:38:15
to do all these jokes like did you start with a word processor you go are you someone who taped your act we we've
00:38:21
talked to Jim Gaffin and others and they the discipline of it or even uh Nikki
00:38:26
Glazer for the the Tom Brady roast two months of listening and workshopping
00:38:33
where are you on that because Nate seems you they seem similar your acts are so tight do you how do you how do you do
00:38:39
that do you record and listen or is that painful well for a long time that's what I was doing I I record it every set now
00:38:45
I'm I'm moving into theaters and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get a video camera set up for myself every time uh but I um I don't know I
00:38:53
have a pretty good memory and I and I like to write a set list and I like to I like to try to stick to the stick to the
00:39:00
set list but like now that I I am in theaters I'm like I get to go I can riff
00:39:05
a lot right so I'm like as long as I stick to this I'm like all right I'm gonna do my hour that they've paid for
00:39:12
so if I riff for an extra 20 minutes that's okay and then that's how I W
00:39:18
that's scary yeah I mean you might come up with a winner that's true if you're doing well I just play this weekend if
00:39:23
you're doing well it's so much easier I played the theater that had a a sound problem and
00:39:29
it was echoing oh and we're like you can't fix this Echo and they're like no they don't hear it out there and I'm
00:39:34
like I don't know and then you're doing your act I'm sticking the point is I'm sticking directly to
00:39:41
what works because I can't [ __ ] around you know those nights where you're like I cannot even gamble with this something
00:39:47
over here and then I just saw an article Dana they said the sound was a little off at that show unfortunately I was
00:39:53
like oh my God so it was out in the audience yeah [ __ ] it's such a
00:39:59
disappointment sometimes for me if I'm doing a like a bad gig and there and my good jokes are not going well it's
00:40:06
almost better for me uh to riff because I'm like all right if the good jokes are
00:40:11
bomb then well I got nothing else I got the good jokes and then I got these things that I've been Loosely working on
00:40:18
and at least the the ones I've been Loosely working on I don't know how they're supposed to go so if I get
00:40:24
mediocre laughs I'm like all right that feels pretty good because this is a sure if it's crushes yeah do you do crowd
00:40:31
work ever or no I don't I will mess around with the audience some if I PE because I get a lot of drunk people I'm
00:40:37
sure we all do but uh if people are yelling out I'll try to riff with them a little bit uh mainly to try to get them
00:40:44
to be quiet but uh I don't want to be mean about it so I try to I did the same
00:40:50
thing you did the go ahead trador that's trador in La uh for the Netflix festival
00:40:56
and that late show was so rowdy they were all wearing my hats half the audience bought my hats and were wearing
00:41:02
them in the crowd but were still yelling at me the whole time it was so rowdy uh
00:41:08
I crowd worked so much on that show I never do that and I was actually getting mad at some people yeah I'm the same way
00:41:15
it's scary it's hard to crowd work and if go they're just yelling there's no back and forth so you're the I'm just
00:41:22
noticing this the last guest we had on this podcast who was quote moving into
00:41:27
theaters from nightclubs which is a big deal was Shane Shane Gillis yeah oh yeah
00:41:35
he was they're really starting to put him in theaters so you must feel pretty
00:41:41
good right now I mean it's kind it's very flattering you know I do feel great
00:41:46
I mean I you know it's like I've already been more successful than I ever thought
00:41:51
that I would be so at at this point anything's just a bonus I'm already like
00:41:57
I'm like my manager was like what do you want to do now and I'm like I don't know I've already achieved all the goals I
00:42:02
ever hope to achieve so uh I'm good now let's just ride this out yeah this might
00:42:08
be it hey um so uh Dana here's a couple 28 minutes here's a couple of his jokes
00:42:15
that are funny from let hear Let me let me let me hear these okay here we go Dusty slay I'm trying he go he I thought
00:42:23
of this because I check out of hotels too he goes they said there's when you he says there's a seven-step process
00:42:30
they say to make checking out of your hotel faster he goes what's faster than just leaving he goes when I check out of a
00:42:37
hotel I just leave and he goes I didn't even know you had to do anything I know my friends that go hey we're leaving so
00:42:42
do we go by the front desk give them our keys and have a little goodbye speech I go I think that's over I think people
00:42:48
walk away yeah yeah you don't have to let them know actually you tell them when you're going to be leaving when you
00:42:55
check in you know it's like just expect that I'll stick to that it's really for
00:43:01
people isn't it for I don't know if you're like this there are people want to get the receipt look at the room
00:43:06
service Chargers double check that's the only reason to go to the FR oh true I used to do that yeah I didn't have a
00:43:15
chocolate milk um and then he says daylight savings no first it starts with when you
00:43:22
ask someone the time and they say it's 20 to 4 and you go listen if you you don't know just say you don't know yeah
00:43:29
why you 20 to 4 you can't figure that one out well why am I asking questions
00:43:34
and you're giving me other [Laughter] problems 20 to four is funny yeah that's
00:43:42
like it's so specific he goes if you don't know the answer just say you don't know and he's
00:43:49
like I like no it's 20 to 4 he's like all right it's 20 to 4 but I ask you what time it is not not the steps I need
00:43:55
to get there yeah you say there's nowhere else in life you do
00:44:01
that yeah like why are we breaking everything down into problems like that yeah in one minute it'll be 19 minutes
00:44:08
until four o'clock I mean it's yeah should be just what's the prop Australia they say what times it you go it's 5:30
00:44:14
or something and they go what does that mean they go it's it's half 4 and I go does that mean
00:44:21
4:30 you know but I don't know just tell me the [ __ ] time it's too much it's easy to just what time is it uh it's
00:44:29
3:20 oh okay great got it okay I don't want to stand here for 10 minutes yeah
00:44:34

00:46:46
know I have people that live here in Nashville that I do take on the road uh you know but makes it more fun yeah I
00:46:54
love to take people with me uh you never knows going get paired up with and you're like H and then you got nobody to
00:47:00
hang with and I don't even hang a lot I just like to do a little comedy and then have a cigar that's what I like to do so
00:47:06
I need someone that will I need someone that'll smoke about half a cigar so I
00:47:11
can smoke mine and then I smoke the rest of theirs and then we go to bed that's all I want then you do you go to the
00:47:18
mall in the day when you're on the road or no uh sometimes if that if I'm at a club attached to a mall I might walk
00:47:24
around in there but the mall makes me sad I just feel bad for people in there I don't know what they're doing there
00:47:30
and I just I don't know what it is I walk around in there and I go ah this seems like uh everybody seems like they hate
00:47:37
their lives in the mall and I don't know what well you ruin the mall for me I kind of sense a 10-minute Chunk on malls
00:47:45
depressing maybe Dusty yeah well I just feel like it's like you know I was in the mall in the
00:47:50
9s uh you know and then it feels like everybody in the mall has been there
00:47:56
since the '90s it just feels like they're tra never to me still there from the 90s yeah yeah I did I do go it's
00:48:04
it's sort of the number one time killer on the road on Family Feud if you're a comic it's like number one thing you do
00:48:11
mindlessly on the road go to the mall you don't buy anything you don't you just walk in circles and you go well we
00:48:18
did that I think that's the sad thing about it yeah you're just walking around in there you got no you don't want to
00:48:23
buy anything everything you're like sarcastic there's stores in there called it's sugar and I'm like I yeah thanks
00:48:31
for being honest about it but uh I don't I don't need any of that you know and I
00:48:37
I'll eat sometimes at the food court and I always regret it I go oh yeah I feel
00:48:43
there's one called it's cramps yeah yeah I don't do a lot of activ I
00:48:50
see people like I'll see people on tour with Nate and then or Bert ker and I see
00:48:55
all of the things that they're doing and I'm like oh that's ex go kart racing
00:49:01
yeah I'm like you [ __ ] how do you have it might be part of the show I think
00:49:06
Bert after two Comics they they go-kart race around the auditorium yeah I'm like
00:49:13
how do you have time to sit in your room and get sad I mean I don't know what uh what you do before a show that's what I
00:49:18
need I need to like get save all my energy for the show and also be like you
00:49:24
know get into some mindset of why am I even doing this uh do I like this and
00:49:30
then go out and then I get to really kind of explode onto the stage yeah yeah Ray Romano would just go golf 18 holes
00:49:38
in Vegas and run show with his with his friends and I just thought when it's a heat wave and they're out there and then
00:49:44
just come in I know in Vegas Dana he would do the show we'd get done right before midnight because we had we both
00:49:50
go on show yeah then we do a Q&A then he goes you going in I go yeah
00:49:57
I've never been up this late since New Year's Eve and then he goes okay we're going to go gamble and I'm like and then
00:50:03
you're going to get up and golf and then you're going to come to the show and I think he's older than me I'm like this guy's in great shape he's killing it
00:50:11
that's where I got sad I I just I don't know to me it just comes down to like
00:50:17
you know it's like you like doing that you like going to gamble you like going to golf it just doesn't seem I like the
00:50:24
golf but I don't like to go out all night and feel like [ __ ] but I it's just not my thing
00:50:32
anymore yeah it's like I I don't like I'm I like to be in nature but I don't you know golf to me it's like kind of
00:50:40
nature but you're on like a real kind of like fertilized up AstroTurf kind of lawn and uh you know all the animals you
00:50:48
know yeah and then you uh what are you doing you're hitting the ball around you know I'm just not like you still don't
00:50:54
even know what golf is you're like and then what do you do you just is all golfers suck I mean basically
00:51:00
every single amateur golfer is horrible and looks like a clown me including it
00:51:06
so and it's painful to swing and Miss at a golf ball but when you do connect and
00:51:13
you really hit it I guess that keeps you coming back another day or you sink one long putt but most what people say like
00:51:20
Rich Nate he's like Danny he gets all in it we called a while back and he was pretty good he's really good now and I'm
00:51:26
like yeah Nate I don't know if everyone takes all their money you have cuz you get to go take lessons at NASA or something and then he's like I am uh
00:51:34
objectively way better than I was that's what money does n is money I
00:51:42
mean for me I'm like I want to buy you know I just bought a four-wheeler you know I bought a zero turn lawnmower
00:51:49
