Topics: radio ticket giveaways, SEC football burnout, a Sunday with the phone off, Hobbs NM outdoor show, flight movies Teams: Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina, Clemson Episode Overview We’re Having a Good Time Episode 182. The title is Dusty’s Sunday with the phone powered off and left off overnight. He records on a Wednesday after two radio hits and asks whether radio still puts anyone in a comedy seat. He tells a 2020 drive-in standup idea his agent shopped; theaters booked bigger names instead. Then he walks through why SEC football went quiet on him after NIL, the transfer portal, and Nick Saban’s retirement. He recaps Hobbs, New Mexico, and movies from the connecting-flight day. He closes on a homeschool-room / shed-studio plan and what “humble yourself” means.

Stories Does radio still sell tickets? 0:48 Two radio hits this week. He wants to know if anyone ever bought or redeemed comedy tickets from radio — and if they won them, whether they went. The drive-in idea 4:13 2020 pitch with a fellow comic: standup at drive-ins. His agent shopped it. Theaters liked the format and booked bigger names. He did not have a Netflix special yet. Weekday TikTok / weekend real comic 6:00 A booker said weekday Instagram acts pay the lights so Saturday can be the comic who is funny and doesn’t pack the room. Football went quiet 8:00 From about 2008 to 2024 he would have talked SEC all day. NIL, the portal, and Saban retiring ruined the watch. He still says players getting paid is understandable.
