00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, if you're looking for something to do this weekend,

2
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I happen to know that Friday night there's a very

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.519
<v Speaker 1>funny comedian coming to the Paramount. And his name is

4
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Dusty Sligh and he joins us now from a rather

5
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>cool looking office. Who's that just over your shoulder in

6
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that in that picture right there? Dusty?

7
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, Oh, this is Steve Martin. A lot of

8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>people think that's Jeffrey Epstein. They think I would have

9
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Epstein.

10
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 3>On my wall. For some reason, Steve Martin I.

11
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Was going a little bit like bad picture of George W.

12
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Bush from when he was younger. I was a little

13
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.840
<v Speaker 1>bit confused, Yeah are you big Steve Martin? A weird

14
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to Yeah, what are you big? Steve Martin fan?

15
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I like Steve Martin a lot.

16
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>And somebody gave me this sign though, and I just

17
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a cool It's like a road sign,

18
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>but uh, it's spray paint and I think it's cool.

19
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 3>And I got this these horses at a at a

20
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 3>yard sale. I'm into that.

21
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't want my I want my studio to look

22
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of weird cool.

23
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's funny that you say that, because I have

24
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>a little side project where we do a web show

25
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and we are actually building our entire set based on

26
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 1>items from thrift stores. We feel really passionate about giving

27
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>new life to ugly things that other people said they

28
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't want anymore, so we are bringing them all into art.

29
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>So I have a great deal of appreciation for that.

30
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Tell me a little bit about where you grew up. Oh,

31
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, tell me a little bit about where you

32
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>grew up.

33
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I grew up in Opa like Alabama. This shirt, hey,

34
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I got a little stain on it. That was it

35
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>wasn't showing it. But it's Opal like Alabama. It's a

36
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 2>great place. I grew up in a trailer park, you know,

37
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and I had a lot of fun. Not sure why

38
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>they call it a park.

39
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, you know what I mean.

40
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 2>There was no rides in there, and we had like

41
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>a water slot, you know, no water slides. We had

42
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>like a slipping slot, you know, an old tarp with

43
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>some dish detergent on it.

44
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, my life was good.

45
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I liked growing up in the trailer park. My dad

46
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>also lived on a farm, so I liked that too.

47
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 2>I got a double dose of the country life. And

48
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>then I moved to Charleston, South Carolina for ten years,

49
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>where I waited tables and was an alcoholic and now

50
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I live in Nashville for the last ten years sober,

51
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:25.800
<v Speaker 2>but well relatively sober.

52
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't drink. And then I have kids.

53
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>So you've gone from alcoholic server to relatively famous comedian

54
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in pretty short order in the grand scheme of things.

55
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when did you decide you wanted to go

56
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 1>into comedy.

57
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was doing comedy in Charleston, you know, just

58
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>messing around, just kind of something to do while we

59
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>were drinking, and I started to get good at comedy.

60
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>And then I quit drinking and I got really good,

61
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>and then I was like, oh, I can do this.

62
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I can do this for a living. And uh,

63
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>and that's what I've been doing.

64
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 3>I realized I have a red light over here.

65
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't figure out why my arm was red and

66
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 2>why my I'm so red.

67
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 3>But there's a light over here. That makes more sense now.

68
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were just tanning while we were doing

69
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the interview. I wasn't gonna bust your chops or anything

70
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>about it. And everybody has their own INTERVIEWIY regime.

71
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't have a window in here, but I

72
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>got you know, I got a plant, so I'm a

73
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>plant light going.

74
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh, let me ask you when you just because you

75
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>brought this up. I probably wouldn't have asked this question,

76
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 1>but you just brought it up. You you were a drinker,

77
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You were an alcoholic by your own admission, and then

78
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you decided to quit drinking while you were doing comedy.

79
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Was there ever any fear that it was the booze

80
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that was making you funny and you were going to

81
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>struggle being sober? Because I've talked to multiple artists who

82
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>have had a really tough time with that transition.

83
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I, you know, was not a professional comic at

84
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the time, and I wasn't really worried about it because

85
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm pretty sure I'm having a good

86
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>on but I'm pretty sure alcohol is wrecking my life.

87
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm having a blast, but I don't think this is

88
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>going well.

89
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, I need to stop doing this.

90
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 2>So I was willing to give up comedy and whatever else,

91
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, just to you know, survive and live.

92
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 3>A good life.

93
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 2>And it just so happened that when I quit, I

94
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>did think about quitting comedy. I was like, I don't

95
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>know maybe because all my jokes were about drinking. They

96
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 2>were all about being overweight and being an alcoholic. And

97
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 2>then I quit drinking and I lost weight really fast,

98
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>so I was like, well, none of this makes sense,

99
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>so maybe I'll just quit comedy. But you know, I

100
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 2>was still running an open mic, and then I just

101
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>started to notice that I was able to write jokes

102
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot faster, and they were better jokes.

103
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, oh, maybe my whole life is

104
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 3>just going to be better now.

105
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Amazing how that turns out sometimes, doesn't it. Where do

106
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you get where do you get your inspiration for your humor?

107
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I like to say, for the record, though I

108
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 2>still support people drinking if people can handle.

109
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 3>It, yeah, and have fun doing it.

110
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>I support it because I wish I could drink, but

111
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't wish it enough to do.

112
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 3>It again, because I know it affected my life negatively.

113
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know where I get inspiration from for

114
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 3>jokes from.

115
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I you know, I just write down things

116
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>all the time that I think are funny, and sometimes

117
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 2>or actually a lot of times, I write something down

118
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not able to really make it funny for

119
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the audience yet, But I keep it written down, and

120
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 2>then somehow I'll come up with a whole hour of comedy,

121
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 2>and then i'll record that hour, and then when I'm like,

122
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 2>all right, what do I do next, I'll pull up

123
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 2>old notebooks and I'll see where I wrote that joke,

124
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.399
<v Speaker 2>and I'll go, oh, let me try that now, and

125
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 2>then then I'll be able to make it funny.

126
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Somehow.

127
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 1>You're very low key on stage, like you're you're the

128
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>at You're the opposite of a manic comic. And I

129
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 1>think it's it's like catches you off guard as a

130
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>member of the audience a little bit. And is that

131
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>is that on purpose or is that just an extension

132
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 1>of your natural personality.

133
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's just just me, you know. I

134
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>mean I think that I change a little bit on stage.

135
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not intentional, but I think something happens to me,

136
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, walk out on stage, I have the microphone,

137
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Like I am a little different, but you know, I'm

138
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 2>still a little fidgety.

139
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm fidgetty now, I'm fidgetty on stage.

140
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>I just think there's something about like talking, it like

141
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>gets me going in a way.

142
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 3>But I'm still low energy.

143
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like it has to go somewhere, So

144
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 2>it goes to my hands, and I touch a lot

145
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>of things, and I touch my glasses and my hat.

146
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>So you you are, I mean, you're you're comedy being

147
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>poor in the trailer park. You've you've embraced this kind

148
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of redneck Alabama sort of persona. And I used to

149
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>work with Larry the Cable Guy many years ago, but

150
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I was surprised to find out he's actually from Nebraska

151
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 1>and not at all rednack, you know, just like it

152
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>was shocking to me. Is this who you are on

153
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and off stage, same dude?

154
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean Larry the Cable Guy told me

155
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 2>that he grew up on a pig farm in Nebraska.

156
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>So I'm like, not southern, but may he's still redneck. Yeah,

157
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, I grew up in a trailer park.

158
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean I moved you know, we moved away when

159
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I was fifteen. And I'm forty two now, you know,

160
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.639
<v Speaker 2>so that was a long time ago. But yeah, I

161
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 2>mean I was gardening early. I have had a lot

162
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 2>of radio calls today, and in between radio calls, I'm gardening,

163
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, And I was building some flower pots, you know,

164
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and I still build like a redneck in a way.

165
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't measure anything. I just I eye it out.

166
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I marked it with my fingernail and then I cut it.

167
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Nothing that I build is straight, but it holds up.

168
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 3>It looks okay.

169
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't want to go into a business where I

170
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>built for other people, but I build my own stuff

171
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>all the time, and I get into it. I'm like,

172
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm like artsy redneck, you know, like I

173
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, I definitely grew up, you know the way

174
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I grew up.

175
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 3>But I don't know. I think I caught an.

176
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Artsy gene somewhere in the family line, you know what

177
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean. And I'm like, you know, I'm into.

178
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>You're naissance redneck.

179
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm into movies and music and you know, I like,

180
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, I like cheese and you know, culture things.

181
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 3>You know.

182
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>When I when I drank, I like to go to

183
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 2>some nice bars, and you know, of course the redneck

184
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>side always came out. Eventually I would go in and

185
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>have a glass of wine. But it's later when I'm

186
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.759
<v Speaker 2>doing shots of bourbon that I'm getting kicked out of

187
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 2>the bar and losing it on people.

188
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, you did say bourbon and not southern comfort.

189
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 1>So I'm docking you a couple redneck points just for

190
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>that right there. But I won't document.

191
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.639
<v Speaker 3>I will tell you that I don't even know what.

192
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd never got too into what the liquors were, right,

193
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I just knew there was a there was brown liquor,

194
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>and then there was like tequila, and there was vodka,

195
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.879
<v Speaker 2>and I liked them all. But I never really knew

196
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the difference in bourbons and whiskeys and Southern comfy. I

197
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.159
<v Speaker 2>just knew that it's brown liquor and I'm into it.

198
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Southern comfort tastes like cough syrups, So if you don't

199
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>remember a distinct liquor tasting like cough syrup, you may

200
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>have avoided it successfully, unlike me, who I got some

201
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Southern comfort stories that I'm not proud of, to be

202
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>perfectly honest.

203
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, not my best work.

204
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 2>There used to be a bar on James Island, South Carolina,

205
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>called the Oasis, which sounds very nice, but it's on

206
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>an island and it says oasis. But it was like

207
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a really crumby bar and everybody you could still smoke

208
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 2>cigarettes inside, and they would have on like Wednesdays, they

209
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>would have buy one get two free bourbons, and so

210
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>we would do triple bourbon with a little splash of coke,

211
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>and that's what we would drive.

212
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Don't you look back on that and just wonder how

213
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>you're still alive? Honestly, you know, you look back. I

214
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>look back at I call it my lost twenties, right,

215
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>my lost decade.

216
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Right.

217
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I look back, and there was multiple times where, if

218
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 1>not for the grace of God, things could have gone

219
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>completely differently. And I am so grateful that number one,

220
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>camera phones weren't a thing when I went through that,

221
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>and number two that for some reason, I made it

222
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>out on the other side okay and unscathed and with

223
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 1>some brain cells intact. So let me ask you one

224
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>more question about because your style and you're from Alabama,

225
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 1>do you play better to crowds in certain parts of

226
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the country than others? Like where do they get you?

227
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, you know, it's it just depends, you know.

228
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I think my comedy, like from from hour to hour,

229
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 2>depending on what I'm working on, changes a little bit.

230
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I do really well in the Southeast,

231
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I do really well in the Midwest, but I also

232
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>do really well in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, and

233
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 2>I think that Oregon in Washington State is a bit redneck.

234
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 3>Outside of those cities too.

235
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 1>And a lot most of the people in Seattle and

236
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Portland look like you, long hair, trucker hat, t shirt on.

237
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>So you're one of them. You're just like a transplanted

238
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 1>one of them from far away. Dusty is going to

239
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>be this weekend at the Paramount. You can get tickets.

240
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.240

241
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on the blog today, I put his longer stand up,

242
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>a film, whatever you want to call it. It's fantastic.
