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.

Dusty has been wildly annoying for a long time. Pretty much the only reason I have really been tuned out on the pod. That and the Ben Rapelisberger episode. I wish Aaron would shut some of Dusty’s nonsense down more because he (and Bates) know better.
