#344 Dusty Slay - Moon Landing Conspiracies, Flat Earth, Aliens and the Nephilim

A working-class comedian's life story doubles as a window into DIY theology, conspiracy skepticism, and homesteading culture among a mainstream entertainment audience.

• Faith and comedy ethic: Slay says a friend's challenge in 2009-10 — pointing out he cared more about church opinion than God's — pushed him toward a cleaner, non-crude comedy style.
• Sobriety journey: He quit drinking and cigarettes the same day in January 2012 after years of alcoholic blackouts, later easing back into occasional weed and cigars only.
