About this listen

Chasing Comedy Episode 28 with hosts professional comedians Dustin Chafin and Jason Salmon!

This week, comedian Jason Salmon joins the show and instantly turns it into a southern-fried TED Talk with punchlines. From grammar elitism to the metaphysics of bacon, this episode pinballs between hilarity and heartfelt like a Hot Pocket in a microwave—dangerous, unpredictable, and probably best consumed after dark.

🔥 What’s Inside This Jam-Packed Episode:


The wild history of the Dallas Mavericks and sports-based identity trauma


Whether Luka Doncic is Charles Barkley 2.0 or just a Slovenian with a six-pack of Shiner


LSD perfect games in Pittsburgh and why drugs deserve a second Hall of Fame


Comedy bits that collide with Bill Burr’s… awkwardly


Jason’s grammar-based revenge on social media and why correcting “your/you’re” is the nuclear option


How bacon became a bi-annual religious experience


A Texas accent gets rejected by a casting director from New Jersey and Jason nearly commits regional war


Stand-up vs cruise gigs, and how to make your dirtiest clip with nothing but a porn-stache reference


Gen X defined: from Star Wars to Nirvana, with a pit stop at O.J. Simpson’s downfall


A deep dive into masculinity, vulnerability, emotional closeness, and why guys start conversations with “Yo, you see the Mavs game?”


🌀 Jason reflects on how stand-up helped him reconnect with his Southern roots—and how being mistaken for a Texan caricature got him in hot water with coastal casting agents. Meanwhile, Dustin and Jason bond over Hot Pockets, Lunchables, and the social politics of empathy and AMC Stubs.


💬 "We started with A New Hope, and ended with Nevermind. That’s Gen X, baby."

💬 "YouTube is a great dad... but also your weird conspiracy friend."


Whether you're a grammar nerd, a hoops junkie, or just someone who eats bacon like it’s a baptism, this episode delivers soul food for your funny bone.


📺 Jason’s special Biscuits and Gravity is on YouTube now. Just don’t misread the title and expect actual biscuits.
