I find myself always talking about this podcast.

If you can get over the fact that one co-host refuses to eat guacamole and the other co-host refuses to watch Braveheart, you will be thoroughly entertained by these two guys!

Tommy and Dusty take a different approach to conversation… You can tell that each question they ask each other and their guests are done with a genuine curiosity and respect. This podcast feels like you were sitting around a fire pit outside with some of your best friends trying to figure life out. I thoroughly recommend it.

Engaging, Real, and Fun

I had a good friend tell me about Dusty and Tommy, and I’m really thankful he did. In a time when genuineness and meaningful discourse are in short supply it’s very refreshing to be able to jump in the car and listen to Dusty and Tommy put both on display. Great content, great guests, and I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone!
