We're havin' a good time this week on the show with a wildly different episode than we're used to but I promise you it's worth it. Back in the old 1.0 pre-"semi permanent hiatus" days we'd routinely have guests pop by for in-studio interviews but under the current 2.0 regime we've yet to do that. Well, that all changes today as we welcome in Nashville-based comic Dusty Slay for a chat about life, country music and his journey so far in comedy. Along the way we'll spin some beautiful country music.

Dusty’s new Netflix special, Wet Heat begins streaming July 29. If you haven’t watched Workin’ Man (his first one for Netflix), you should go ahead and check that out, too.
