## Resource

Comedian and actor T.J. Miller joins Dustin Chafin and Brian Scott McFadden for a hilarious deep dive into roast culture, stand-up comedy addiction, Hollywood, cancel culture, sports, classic comedy movies, and the weird realities of modern fame. The guys break down Kevin Hart roasts, Shane Gillis, Christmas movies, public bathroom anxiety, boomers on TikTok, and why comics can never truly quit stand-up. One of the funniest and most honest episodes of Chasing Comedy yet.
