Is Sebastian Maniscalco killing comedy radio? Can you manifest your way to success, or is that just another excuse to avoid doing actual work? On Episode 67 of Chasing Comedy, comedians Brian Scott McFadden and Dustin Chafin tackle the SiriusXM comedy shakeup that's leaving working comedians furious and potentially out of a paycheck! The guys debate whether social media is ruining stand-up, why talented comedians struggle to survive, and who's really to blame for the industry's changing landscape. Plus, Dustin discovers the power of manifestation, Brian reveals how fake kidnapping letters launched his voiceover career, and the two dive into daddy issues, dysfunctional childhoods, and why comedians desperately need strangers to laugh at them. It's corporate greed, positive thinking, career anxiety, and decades of unresolved childhood trauma—all wrapped up in one hilariously unfiltered episode!

Brian Scott McFadden and Dustin Chafin are back for another hilariously chaotic episode of Chasing Comedy! This week, the guys debate Alien, Terminator and Rocky Horror, revisit the rise and fall of Andrew Dice Clay, and discover why Brian’s middle name might make him sound like a presidential assassin. Then they workshop new material about fake addictions, doomscrolling and our obsession with phones before stumbling onto a new legal defense every comedian needs: “comedy entrapment.” If you give a comic the perfect setup, you can’t complain about the punchline.

Robot pets for the elderly, bad comedy advice, ICE for chipmunks, and a prostitute with a time machine—Episode 65 of Chasing Comedy goes everywhere. Brian Scott McFadden and Dustin Chafin debate whether animatronic pets for seniors are comforting or horrifying, break down the changing rules of stand-up, and work through new material in real time. Then things completely derail when they develop a plan to save humanity by sending an escort back through history to fix the childhoods of future terrible people.
