When you have the clarity, humility, humour and speaking talent of this guy, you can be from anywhere, and likely go anywhere that you want! Dusty, I hope life is taking you the places you want to go!
He is still finding himself
@@Ouzyman how do you know
@@agarykane2127 he's helping him out...
If they can carry him
Won’t get ya into heaven
The boonies are the place where even the banjo music had stopped miles back.
captain sexy banjo from snl aprooves this
🤣🤣🤣
IN Austrian German dialect we describe places like that as "where the dogs bark out of their assholes"
@@peterkoller3761 Hahahahahahaha
Two minutes in and already his stage presence, humility, ability to keep the audience engaged, and personality are just perfect.
the way he says "boonies" had me hooked
Dustin has been one of the best people I’ve known in my life. He brought love and laughter wherever he went. This world was a better place because he was in it. He gave people help and courage to be the best of themselves. I’ll always be grateful and blessed because you were my friend in this life. Rest in peace Dustin. You are so missed by all of us.
😪💔❤️🩹🤗💞
How he die?
That was actually very talented, I was pleasantly surprised. Well paced, good timing, good length, very good with the audience and funny. Though it appears I'm 13 years late to the party, I'll still say: well done!
That algorithm be grave digging this week
He’d be a blast to go to a party with. I bet everyone is always excited when he shows up. He’s super entertaining and charming. Love him.
"I refer to my childhood as my military service"
I can relate to that😅😭
I don't know where life has taken you, kind Sir, but I wanted to say I really enjoyed your speech. Your Southern family humor, I totally get it. You definitely have a way with words! Thank you for making me smile!☺️
Hello Debbie
How are you doing today?
Not interested in his weight. He's a great speaker, a great communicator. And, by the way, for those of you who have issues with his weight - do you think it's easy for him to stand up in front of a crowd, knowing that at least half of them are going to judge him just the way you do? If you spent one day at that weight, would you have the guts to stand up and speak like that? No, you wouldn't. So pipe down and give the man the kudos he's earned.
+Jonathan Howard: Well said sir, I agree with you. Its very tough to talk like that in a entertaining way. I will use this example in my next Toastmaster session.
+Jonathan Howard - Dustin is have that size now............but still loves his color coordinated socks. Last week, it was pink!
i would be able to talk like i do everyday
I know this man. He is 1/3 the size he was in the video. He worked hard to lose the weight. You ask about his leadership qualities. He is currently Director of one of the largest VA hospitals in Southern California. His hospital has over 2,200 full time employees and is the care provider for more than 50,000 Veterans....so much for his leadership qualities, right. He has been in that position for more than 2 years and is looking at a promotion. He is a "kick in the ass" to be around and can bring a room to tears with his adventures from the Deep South. Most importantly, he does not give a shit what others think about him......but I do....I am his friend. Its an honor to call Dustin my friend.
Amen! He has guts, he's not self-conscious and he's funny!
PETER GRIFFIN! He communicated through personal stories, not boring bullet points. This is how it's done!
Right have that charger by the war funny I had that exact same shirt and everyone makes fun of me maybe time to even the score
That was fantastic. Such a natural orator and storyteller. He hit the perfect tone and everyone was delighted. God i wish i could do that! 🙏🏾
You can even if you are from the booties
I'm sure you can.
Thanks for giving us this Dustin. You're wonderfully talented. I hope you are where you wanted to go in life.
I clappped.
All by myself, here at home.
Well done.
This was great to hear from a guy that is not some blessed super athlete, or brain genius, or CEO. He's just a regular guy that 99.9% of us can relate to.
absolutely.
you can't deny, he has got Charisma!
27scole no he doesn't...
Pete McAuliffe
Sure he does. Don't hate!
+Pete McAuliffe Yes, he's very likable.
He has grit, true grit!
He better let her before the police get involved.
this guy is genuinely funny and sweet. He must be a good friend to hang out with. I hope life has been kind to him and he is hale and hearty.
I am so disappointed that this is the only video you've posted Dusty - you are an absolute Legend and I hope life has been good for you over the past 13 years
Yeah it would be cool to see him do stuff every now and then. Doesn't matter where or what, even just simple daily things or vlogging. Would just be nice to see him regularly.
Hes adorable! I wish I could see the visuals on the screen.
Love this guy! Genuine and courageous. Keep speaking truth and joy!
Hope this young man has achieved his dreams and goals. An absolutely awesome speech. He has a quick wit and great character.
He was a young man 14 years ago. lol
He was (sure still is) good.
@Karl with a K leadership by example is what I saw
@Karl with a K Bit on the dark side is we?
@Karl with a K This kind of criticism is worthless, nothing constructive about it, just mean spirited bullying. What possible value have your comments brought to the table?
@Karl with a K he has confidence that you wouldn’t be capable of perceiving as it’s inside not superficial & dependent upon the ephemeral. He hasn’t defined himself by your standards but by his own sense of truth & life experiences.
This guy is a great story teller, I wish I had that talent, I always just state the facts, it really is difficult for many people communicate the way he has displayed in this speech.
Noting wrong with that!
Great! I loved it. Public communication is not easy. That was a great presentation. He may have went outside the parameters of the assignment, but he paved his own path. Dispute what everyone wanted him to do that was "successful" in their eyes he did it his own way. Self identification, passion, and selfless courage is exactly what it takes to be a leader!.
Such a great speaker! So confident and witty. Love loved it!
Now if half the people in this country had this guy’s charm, we as a society would be in a much better place.
We would also be destroyed by other nations because he would get out of the way and say there they are go get them
That guy was funny as hell. And that's not an easy feat, if it has to be PG13 as well.
Peace on Earth
agreed!
@@Truthintheword777 lol that is true.
Why can't society have more kind and caring people like this guy? Enjoyed the hell out of him.
Outstanding! Rare to find someone who connects so fast with the audience. I enjoyed it.
You are awesome to listen to! An absolute hoot while delivering a great message. Loved it!
Congratulations on your publishing deal! I just wanted to drop a line and let you know how much I appreciate you sharing this video with us several years ago. Your speech has been one of my regular samples in a public speaking class I teach at the university. Well Done! A+ My only wish it that we could see the visuals. I bet they're just as great as the speech was. Congratulations again on your accomplishments.
Gifted speaker. Fantastic communicator. ✅
He's awesome, we need more people like him.
Unsustainable.
He already is more people like him.
Great speech! I loved him and his sense of humor. He could have been my son, who played on offense and defense because he was such a big tough guy. He could hold them back and mow them down. Yes, we are big people too. So what?
Great speech! I admire the fact that you can get up there and speak like that. Its a gift that so many of us do not have. Keep up the good work!
I love watching this Dustin! It cheers me up every time I watch it. You are such a sweet and funny, human being.
Imagine your face if you saw him coming up the airplane aisle heading for the seat next to you.
Love ya Dustin.........we get to enjoy you every Sunday...............Love your style.............Love your attitude.........so glad you are a very important part of our team..............BIG ASS HUGS TO YOU BUDDY!
Wonderful speech. I'd love to see more like it from you. You're one of those people I could just listen to all day.
Leadership speech had me fooled although it was *at* a leadership meeting.
This guy's dang funny. I'm glad I watched. I wish he had gone on with comedy professionally. Every line a punchline at least. I love that!
Bravo to you! Being born in the south, Alabama, and raised by a Mississippi Momma, I can totally relate. Would love to have seen the pics you were showing! Bet they were great. Love your humor. Thank you.
Yea, we needed the pics of the presentation. They were prolly as well put together as the monologue , or better, and added more either way, we will never know.
Thank you RUclips for recommending this video from over 10 years ago. Good watch.
I'm always leery when something is labelled "funniest" or "ever!" especially on youtube, but this video was very funny and entertaining! great speaker.
What a joy to listen to this young man! I'd love to know where life took him and how he's doing. Great speech. Excellent delivery! 😁😁😁
Could have listened to him all day. What a great voice and talented oratory speaker ❤️
That was brilliant, well done sir. Many happy returns to and your family
Excellent - a masterclass in using personal anecdotes and humour in presentations.
He has got character and charisma that is for sure.
I wish there was more of this. That was a good laugh for me. I know where he is coming from.
I hope that the years have been good to you Dusty. Your speech ages well. It is still just as good today as it was 13 years ago. I will like and subscribe.
Dusty, unfortunately, ascended to the moon from being too damn awesome!
Great speaker, put a smile on my face!
You should be a comedian, I laughed so hard good job! I wanna see more form you.
You are hilarious!! I don't know how this video showed up in my feed, but I'm glad it did! I looked at your book's page also -- and it looks great! I hope life is treating you well. You are so inspirational, and I hope you are sharing your words with people -- a lot!! My very best to you!
Dusty you were born to speak, that was a very good 5 minutes. Great sense of humor and perfect delivery.
I loved his speech! Inspiring and hilarious at the same time.
Love your use of humor... best way to get everyone's attention. :)
Great speech but a shame we can't see the slides.
This was great! Rich in his delivery; however, I'm sure the photos he was clicking through really provided funnier context.
I laughed from beginning to end...! Thanks for your brilliance!
Wow a good recommendation from youtube. Very entertaining.
I know right this is probably the first good recommendation I've got from RUclips in the existence of the entity
They way he says "You can get tater tots in town" while his body language says "forget about anything else, this is what is really important" - This moment keeps bringing me back to this speech. I just love this guy.
That was fun. I hope he is happy and healthy, and sharing his good spirited stories.
This guy knows timing like nobody's business
Fantastic! You have a great sense of humour and your very proud of 'where your from'. Hope your book does well.
You're
Stumbled across this and I loved every word! GO BUDDY GO, I wish you every success
Refreshing how things were so many years ago. A fantastic speech
many years ago,?!? wtf are you talking about
@@prufrok 13 years ago.
This guy would rock at standup or tedx talk!!!
Great speech! Very funny, natural, and done with ease. Well done!
the clarity, sense of humour, energy, and articulation was top notch and overall great.
I love how his accent thickened up further into the story
I love your wit and laughed so much. Thank you so much.
Dude was Awesome, props to this guy!! :D
I have watched this ten or more times over the years. It always makes me smile. Wonder where he is now !
Well done.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You inspire me. Will have to get your book.
Great speaker and great speech. He actually inspired me. He knows who he is and he is comfortable in his own skin. Well done, I say.
Great stuff. What a wonderful sense of humor!
Dusty, you are an inspiring funny, and grounded man. a real gentleman. thank you
Some people are just naturally funny and good story tellers. This dude is one of those.
I loved your speech and as a fellow Texan I can identify with a lot of what you said. Thank you for putting yourself out there! I am saving this link. Kudos to you!
"Well he'd better hurry up, cause he's about to piss me off" LOL, literally, LOL. Great speech, good story teller. Instinctive (I'm assuming) comedic timing.
Better yet,,,having a dad that cared enough to want him to "Hurry Up". Most today,,,well, "He's playing his video Games,,he's OK".
Newman?! )
@@Squarehead45 I'm past even the active portion of the dad stuff, age wise, but I suspect you are likely right on the money. On the plus side, we did go out for active fun a goodly amount of the time, and we home schooled them, so there's that. ;-) It's a sad day when you realize your parents (or the universal you/me) as a parent, aren't even remotely perfect.
I'm from Texas and all I can say is this term of endearment: " bless his heart".
Had me captivated from the get go, brilliant speech, love the humour
Thank you for sharing. I love it.
This man is smart and funny! I am so grateful to watch this video. You did a great job!
You got that right! His video is really motivating. And I just visited your profile Mark and you got good videos as well. They are amazing! You people should check it out! :D
great lead, ES! I listened to MAG's talk about his teacher for a few minutes.
What a wonderful way to learn of our fellow citizens! Without the internet and youtube it'd be a different life.
Mark, good stuff! Emilyn, great call!
my GUY!!!!! what an inspiration! just remarkable self awareness and completely authentic self expression :D
13 years latter - i hope your doing fine, loved the speech.
Very cohesive speech! His delivery was excellent. He was personable with the audience who enjoyed him. He could wear many hats like a teacher, comedian, writer, counselor, etc.
Hi there? Hope you’re fine and staying safe?
Agreed! You put it well.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Well done, and if he were in my leadership communication class he would have received an A+ .
The RUclips recommendations has brought us together once again
I love this video. I show it to my students during one of my workshops. I plan to order your books.
Love your confidence! Great speech funny with a good life lesson. Thank you
this was really fun, thank you... 11 years later!
Hi there? Hope you’re fine and staying safe??
You are a gift to have seen! Loved it & may your good vibes. Last ya longer than those socks ;- ]
Wow, this is the 2nd (or 3rd) time I've watched this. You have a real talent for public speaking! And you could be a comedian too. I'd go to your standup! 😂
I really wish I could have seen the slides). And, it was difficult keeping quiet - I watch this in the library. This is inspiring. Thank you.
Stumbled upon this by accident, what a charming individual...cheers to you!!!
Hi there? Hope you’re fine and staying safe??
YT algorithm is grave digging today 😂
Great speech, LOVE your sense of humor!!
Hope all is well for you!
Dusty I have no idea how this popped up on my feed but I knew instantly it was you! It brings back so many memories of so many stories you've told!
I don't know why RUclips recommended this video to me, but what a great speech! Well done!
RUclips recommended because he's a gay pretender.
Nice delivery from a carefree optimist. We need more guys and gals like this, y'all!
This guys is a legend. I nickname him……The Legend.
Love this! Thought I was going to exit but ended up listening to the entire speech!
He's good.
.
He could make a living doing this.
Brilliant use of humor and great delivery!
"I swear it'll make you snort your sweet tea"
Well bless your heart
I don't know what was funnier: his non chilant swagger, his accent, or his quick wit. I loved it! I'm sure he cracks people up wherever he goes.
