Summary

Comedian Dusty Slay pulls up a chair in the basement to talk Bigfoot, shadow people, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when you used to pray drunk. From his days selling pesticides and working at Office Depot to headlining theaters and doing the Tonight Show, Dusty opens up about how quitting drinking, leaning into faith, and questioning everything changed the trajectory of his life and his comedy. The guys get into ghost stories, haunted rental houses, the plagues of Egypt as divine trolling, and why Jesus quoting Psalm 22 on the cross might be the greatest callback in history. Dusty also talks about the craft of standup, why comedians became the truth tellers of our generation, why AI can't write jokes, and what it means to be funny in a world that forgot how to laugh.

I had a comic say something to me one time back in the day. He was not religious at all, but he said something that really struck me. I was doing comedy one night and I had people from my church coming. And I was saying, I go, I can't do this joke or this joke tonight. I got people from my church coming. And he goes, it's interesting that you care about what people from your church says, but you don't mind doing those jokes in front of God.
