To switch things up here on Drinks on Dusty, every year on Dusty's birthday (December 23rd), he hands over the hosting duties to a guest interviewer so he can live out his lifelong dream of being a guest on his own show! It's our way of celebrating the host and all the great connections built throughout the year.

For this very first Birthday Special, we’ve brought back two of our favorite previous guests and Dusty's college buddies: Joe and Chase! Having known Dusty through college and numerous huge life transitions, these two take the reins to interrogate our host and bring out a whole different side of him.

In This Episode, We Dive Into:

• Dusty's undying love for the Green Bay Packers 🧀
• His natural ability to connect with literally anyone
• Deep dives into Greek mythology 🏛️
• Wild college stories from back in the day
• ...And Dusty getting a tad too over-served out of pure excitement of being in the hot seat!

Drink of the Night: 🍻 Pure Birthday Excitement (and a few too many libations!)

Lauren is an actress, dancer/choreographer, singer, and badass all around. She’s performed in some of the best spots in NYC—including 54 Below—and even hit the road for the National Tour of A Chorus Line. Originally from Kentucky, she loves the Bengals, loves country music (oooooo hell yaaaa), ran a half-marathon during the pandemic, and is a proud vegan! We actually met working together, which means her coolest accomplishment is clearly drinking and hanging out with me a good amount. She is seriously one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met and completely impossible not to like. 

Lauren and I met while working children's birthday parties every single weekend for an early childhood company and that...bonded us quite fast. 

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Performing on Broadway national tours and NYC's iconic 54 Below
• Running a pandemic half-marathon, vegan life, and Kentucky roots
• Country music, the Bengals, and theater stories
• 
  
• Dusty's 2-month drinking break and navigating sober hangs

Drink of the Night: 🍹 Virgin Moscow Mules (Sober Edition!)

It’s my favorite ladies in NYC… Megan Goodman and Julia Wilkinson wooooooo!!! This was also our very first in-person recording, so we are stepping it up here on Drinks on Dusty peeps, get excited.

In this episode, we’re drinking rosé 🍷 (and at one point Megan very confidently says “white wine makes me slutty” which is now the title of the episode:) … so we just leaned into that energy for one hello of a time.

These two are talented, intelligent, stunning, and honestly two of my favorite people in the world. They also have to put up with a lot of random calls, texts, and FaceTimes from me… so shoutout to them for that. I adore them.

We all went to college together studying theatre. Both are actresses, musicians, and creators doing their thing in NYC and beyond.

Julia is an actress/director who’s worked with Norwegian Cruise Line and other NYC productions. She’s now fully leaning into directing- festivals, web series, musicals, and so much more. She’s out here building her own lane.

Megan is an actress and musician who’s been part of multiple NYC productions and is now focused on creating her own music. She’s an incredibly talented lyricist, and her voice is seriously like no other.

It was an honor having these beautiful ladies on the podcast for our very first in person recording and we drank ALL the rosé… and I mean ALLLL of it 🍷

We talk college, NYC catcalling, changing your path in life, and so much more.

Can’t wait for you all to hear it and see our connection live!

Let the drinks flow and the conversations grow! Cheers, y’all 🍻

Joe is an actor, musician, impressionist, and a huge heavy metal fan. He's also one of the most talented and kind-hearted people I've had the chance to know. We've shared a lot of laughs, stories, and adventures over the years, so having him on the podcast was a no brainer. One of my favorite things about our friendship is that we can take a joke, a character, or a random bit and keep it going forever, squeezing every last laugh out of it until there's absolutely nothing left. Also....I use to be Joe's role model...maybe.....but its a mistake lol.

In this episode of Drinks on Dusty, we're drinking Miller Lite 🍺 (because not every great conversation needs a fancy drink—just two basic Nebraska men and a couple of cold beers.)

We talk about creating characters as an actor, keeping your creativity alive when inspiration is running low, and why laughter might just be the best medicine. We also dive into heavy metal, Disney movies, college memories, friendship, and a few drunken stories that probably should've stayed between us.

There are a lot of laughs in this one as Joe and Dusty crack open a few beers and enjoy a conversation between old friends.

So grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for a fun one.

Let the drinks flow and the conversations grow! Cheers, y'all!

A Midwest/Kansas boy who I met my senior year of college when he was a freshman—and the connection was… ridiculous. He was one of those underclassmen I immediately looked at and said, “That dude is coming under the Dusty wing… no matter how chaotic that wing or support may be.”

Chase is an actor, writer, artist, and a big D&D fan.

In this episode of Drinks on Dusty, we are drinking red wine 🍷 (NOT a Dusty specialty)

We talk about acting and the process behind it, our drunken college moments together, being Midwest boys trying to make it in NYC, dealing with heartbreak, Dungeons & Dragons, and much more.

Dusty and Chase get a pretty good buzz going from the red wine… and things definitely get interesting.

Stay tuned for this one—it’s a fun ride.

Let the drinks flow and the conversations grow. Cheers, y’all.

In this episode, we get into everything from fish pics on dating apps, to Emily and I continuing to unpack our epic date, to Liv and Em sharing more about their incredible friendship and how they’ve stayed so close over the years.

They also talk about their latest projects and why it’s so important for artists to support one another.

Hope you enjoy this continued connection with Liv, Em, and me—and most importantly… some Prosecco.

Let the drinks flow and the conversations grow. Cheers, y’all 🍾

I met both of them at my very first job in NYC, where we spent weekends running around the city doing children’s birthday parties. We taught classes, sang happy birthday, cut cakes, and worked our tails off. But through all of that chaos, I built a real bond with them, and I’ve been lucky to stay connected ever since. There were no better people to start this podcast with than these two.

In this episode, we’re drinking Prosecco and diving into everything. Our journey, our connection, and Liv and Em’s experience navigating NYC. We get into dating in the city, the acting scene, drunk texts from me, Emily and I’s first (and only 👀) date… and a whole lot more.

So grab a drink and take a listen y'all, cheers!

Let the drinks flow and the conversations grow.

Get ready to let the drinks flow and the conversations grow! WOOOOOO!
