## Resource

We accidentally made the Top 100 stand-up comedy podcasts… and immediately questioned its legitimacy. In Episode 47, Dustin Chafin and Brian McFadden break down what it means to be ranked, why they’re probably stuck at #80 forever, and how most of the show is still just talking about what the show should be. They dig into cruise-ship comedy pressures, bombing vs. adjusting, airline etiquette meltdowns, and a surprisingly heated debate about hat cases, man cards, and public overreactions. Add in unfinished bits, AI joke experiments, and classic Chasing Comedy chaos, and you’ve got another episode that’s equal parts insight, spiral, and laughs.
