E190. Dusty Slay Thinks Doing Comedy Is Abusing Yourself For No Reward

Comedian Dusty Slay stops in for a fun and freewheeling conversation with Bridget about the joys of new parenthood, being a road comedian during Covid, how people forgot how to act and travel in public during the pandemic, the worst spots they've ever done comedy, their issues with the term "geriatric pregnancy", and what they won't take advice about from rich people. They also cover Dusty's roots in a trailer park in Alabama, how he met his wife, the difficulty of being a woman in comedy, why he quit drinking, why it's okay to have content that doesn't address all the issues, and how many rats he's caught in a single trap at once. Check out Dusty's comedy special on Season 3 of Netflix's The Standups.
