With plenty of laughs and candid moments, join them as they tackle a lively exploration of the art of chasing comedy in a world filled with absurdities.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T00:18:04.578608+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chasing-comedy-7048177"},"episode":{"title":"Chasing Comedy - Episode 41: Saudi Comedy Fest, Dead Scooby Theories & Concerts That Lied to Us","slug":"chasing-comedy-episode-41-saudi-comedy-fest-dead-scooby-theories-concerts-that-lied-to-us","published_at":"2025-11-19T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chasing-comedy-7048177/chasing-comedy-episode-41-saudi-comedy-fest-dead-scooby-theories-concerts-that-lied-to-us","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chasing-comedy-7048177","url":"https://chasing-comedy.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/a40d6675-3eba-420c-abae-a8903848e667.mp3","summary":"Brian and Dustin dive into a wild mix of comedy talk, music stories, and full-on riff chaos. They swap tales about weird concerts, opening for the wrong famous people (looking at you, Sinatra Jr.), and the pain of performing after a punk band empties a festival tent for free pizza. They also workshop new jokes about followers, Jesus, Jonestown, and what modern festival really matches “high-energy crowds.” Then the guys spiral into an epic brainstorm: a gritty, prestige-TV reboot of Scooby-Doo starring a burned-out Shaggy, washed-up Daphne, and a whole new set of weird modern mysteries. Plus: Ben & Jerry’s drama, Saudi comedy festivals, and why comedians don’t threaten anybody’s power anymore. Fast, funny, and full of riffing — classic Chasing Comedy.","meta_description":"Brian and Dustin dive into a wild mix of comedy talk, music stories, and full-on riff chaos.
