Wet Heat

If there is one thing Dusty Slay knows, it is the particular terror of a marijuana gummy kicking in too hard, and the only known cure is the soothing voice of George Strait. For his second Netflix hour, filmed at the historic Walker Theatre in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Nashville-based comic brings his signature trucker hat and deadpan drawl to a set packed with highly relatable, blue-collar observations. He spends his time pondering the absurdities of milk, the reality of Southern humidity, and delivering an extended, note-by-note takedown of Brooks & Dunn’s ‘Hard Workin’ Man’ that will ruin the 1993 country hit for you forever. Following up his breakout 2024 hour, Workin’ Man, Slay’s sophomore effort finds him fully leaning into his sleepy, self-effacing style, punctuated by his trademark ‘we’re having a good time’ catchphrase. While his hyper-casual pacing occasionally flirts with autopilot, Slay’s nostalgic rants about growing up on Lot 8 of an Alabama trailer park keep this steady, low-stakes hour comfortably grounded.
