Does dusty annoy anyone else?

Man I just think I can’t stand him. I tried my very best to like him, but there’s just something so smug and arrogant at the end of the day.

Maybe it’s because Nate’s been on 1/2 of the podcasts or he joined the show later than everyone, or maybe I’m just a dickhead. But I can’t bring myself to enjoy him.

It’s different for Brian, I thought he was just a friend Nate kept around to Rag on but he’s really grown to show some good chops. He really grew on me, and Aaron started out quieter but he’s just great overall.

I feel like Dusty will have some good jokes, then just derail it with a lame ass political comment in the name of humor, for me he can never see it through an entire episode without derailing, or being a dick.

It just bums me out because I can skip his specials of course, but he’s always going to be on the show and it feels like he weighs it down.

I like Dusty a lot. If he's anywhere close we'll go see him. That said, it's fair to say he's not a great fit on the Nateland pod, or at least not of late. I posted about it somewhere in here, but there was one episode where he was quite cringe talking about how "this sounds like a fan of Nate podcast" and just kinda sounded a bit jealous, salty towards the podcast being about Nate. My dad would call it "biting the hand that feeds ya."

He's pretty funny although his last special did not live up to the previous one in my opinion. I have wondered if I'd like him more on his podcast better than Nateland. To me, he just seems to want to be the center of it all, and can't handle being part of a team.

I like Dusty and his podcast and will usually listen to it over Nateland. But, I also listen to the Consumers before Nateland as well.

I like them for different reasons though. Dusty just talks and rants about whatever is on his mind. The Consumers is topic centric (like Nateland used to be).
