A comic's road journal, mulch and all.

The gist

We're Having a Good Time follows Dusty Slay through the ordinary mess of comedian life: a new baby, club dates, road trips, dogs, worries, and mulch. It is casual and personal, with jokes arriving inside long stories rather than polished segments.

About We're Having a Good Time

We're Having a Good Time is built around Dusty Slay talking his way through life as it is happening. The format is simple. A microphone turns on, the week comes back into view, and a comic's instincts shape the wandering path from family news to road stories to whatever small subject has become unusually important. Recent episodes move through a third child arriving, Connor Larsen filling in, long drives to Paducah and St. Louis, local TV memories, and comedy nights at Zany's. The show often starts casually and stays there. That looseness is the point, because the appeal is not a tight interview format or a polished panel but the sense of someone keeping a funny public journal over years of change. Dusty talks about getting stage time, working shows with comic friends, and remembering early appearances that now feel embarrassing. Then he might spend real time on mulch. Or fruit trees. Or a fallen tree near the yard. The domestic material is not a detour from the comedy life; it is part of the same picture. Kids, travel, stress, cigars, trucks, dogs, gardens, old Nashville, old Cancun, and small acts of nature care all become material. The road stories have a practical texture, especially when he thinks through car sleeping, long-distance driving, and the strange freedom of seeing the country by highway. There is also a recurring tension between wanting adventure and knowing that life has responsibilities. The comedy is conversational rather than punchline-heavy. It leans on repetition, sidetracks, plainspoken opinions, and the confidence to let a thought stay messy for a while. When Connor Larsen fills in, the guest-host episode underlines the show's personal network: Nashville comedy, friendship, gardening, and the rhythms of getting older. The result feels familiar quickly. It is a show for people who like stand-up adjacent storytelling, not just stand-up talk. It also suits listeners who enjoy ordinary details treated with comic seriousness. We're Having a Good Time turns touring, parenting, yard work, and half-formed opinions into a relaxed record of a comedian's life in motion.

Made for: For fans of stand-up comedy who like personal storytelling, road-life digressions, and unpolished conversational rhythm. It especially fits listeners drawn to Nashville comics, family-life comedy, and everyday observations stretched into stories.

What sets it apart: The show stands apart by making the loose ends part of the product: travel logistics, garden chores, newborn chaos, dogs, and comedy craft all sit in the same rambling frame. It feels less like a segment machine than a long-running audio journal.
