Comedian Josh Johnson sits down with Zach Justice for a conversation that goes way beyond stand-up. Josh breaks down how he produces an insane amount of new comedy (each week), the creative process behind his stand-up, and what writing for The 'Tonight Show' and 'The Daily Show' taught him about becoming a better comedian. He deep dives into why he believes people are capable of being far more creative than they realize, and the mindset that keeps him constantly writing and evolving. Zach and Josh also get into his HBO special 'Symphony,' his interactive Comedy Band Camp tour, and the importance of community. And in true Zach Justice fashion, they end up talking about ghosts, childhood lice, Lego scandals, journaling, Rubik’s Cubes, and whether Josh Johnson is actually dead.

Zach Justice is bringing the Dropouts Podcast back and he’s kicking things off with comedian, actor, and podcaster Stavros Halkias. Stavros has been on a generational run, going from Baltimore comedy clubs to ‘Tires,’ ‘Tony,’ ‘Stavvy’s World,’ and his new Netflix stand-up special ‘Uncle Stav.’ Zach and Stavros get into his insane rise, acting alongside Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Shane Gillis, what makes blue-collar people so funny, and the real process behind making a stand-up special. But behind Stavvy’s success is a cost most people never see. Stavros opens up about how his career and podcasting have taken a serious toll on his health, and even explains why he thinks his podcasts like ‘Cum Town’ with Nick Mullen and Adam Friedland may have “ruined culture.” They wrap things up by answering some listener questions and give questionable life advice about dating neighbors, sports fandom, and everything in between.
