Fiona Cauley's Parents Thought She Was Faking Her Disease | Dropouts EP 03

Zach Justice sits down with comedian Fiona Cauley to talk about living with Friedreich’s ataxia, accidentally becoming a stand-up comedian, blowing up after ‘Kill Tony,’ touring with Nikki Glaser and making her ‘Tonight Show’ debut on Jimmy Fallon’s show. Fiona also shares how comedy changed her life, society's perception of those with disabilities, and what it’s like being married to another comedian.

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.DM us with your questions, ideas, and videos!https://www.instagram.com/dropouts/https://www.tiktok.com/@dropoutspodcasthttps://x.com/thedropoutsspodor Email us!

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.

This week starts off HOT as the boys interrogate a certain someone about her new side quest adventure 👀 Alyssa luckily gets pulled out of the hot seat relatively quickly because Zach and Skyler had a CRAZY day of filming for Zach's YouTube video where they were assaulted, berated, confided in, and therapists all in one afternoon (seriously it was a wild day). Then, in what was supposed to be a throwaway joke, Zach asks Jared for a fun fact which sparks into a whole segment about the science and biology of being a parent and love in general (fascinating segment if you ask me). And lastly watch Skyler try to scramble his way out of going to Disneyland with Alyssa, which if you don't remember, was his punishment for getting Lady May high at the beginning of the year!As always we hope you enjoy!SUB TO OUR PATREON FOR BONUS AND BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT!https://www.patreon.com/dropoutspodBUY OUR SICK FREAKING MERCH!https://www.shopdropouts.comKeep up with us!Zach: https://www.instagram.com/zachjustice/Jared: https://www.instagram.com/jarebearmusic/Alyssa: https://www.instagram.com/alyssaaliberti/Skyler: https://www.instagram.com/skylerhorne_/DM us with your questions, ideas, and videos!https://www.instagram.com/dropouts/or Email [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get access to exclusive new gear when you preorder on Playstation or XBOX!What's up party people! You can already tell from the title, but this was by far one of the coolest episodes and guests we've had on this show. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been in some of the most iconic film & tv projects for the last 30 years: from 3rd Rock From the Sun and Angels in the Outfield to 10 Things I Hate About You and 500 Days of Summer to The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, Inception, and so much more—it's too long to list! Obviously, we talk about his incredible career, but he also shows a side of himself that might surprise you.For the last several years, JGL has become increasingly invested in the rapid progression of technology and the future of the internet and humanity as a whole. He shares his perspective on the current state of the world, where he sees it going, and the efforts we can do now to make it even better. It's not like our typical conversations we have on this podcast, but it is very interesting and we highly encourage you to watch all the way through. Who knows, you might learn something new or even unlock a new passion and fire for these sorts of topics like he has!As always we hope you enjoy!SUB TO OUR PATREON FOR BONUS AND BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT!https://www.patreon.com/dropoutspodBUY OUR SICK FREAKING MERCH!https://www.shopdropouts.comKeep up with us!Zach: https://www.instagram.com/zachjustice/Jared: https://www.instagram.com/jarebearmusic/Alyssa: https://www.instagram.com/alyssaaliberti/Skyler: https://www.instagram.com/skylerhorne_/DM us with your questions, ideas, and videos!https://www.instagram.com/dropouts/or Email [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The infamous PC game, Ready or Not, is hitting consoles on July 15th! Get access to exclusive new gear when you preorder on Playstation or XBOX!What's up party people! This week starts off on a grim note... Skyler's dying... Or at least you would think he is by how dramatic he's being about his ear infection. KIDDING. The guy's a champ because he still showed up for y'all anyway! But we do dive into somebody who seems to be going through a legit medical crisis, the Liver King. You'll see it in the episode but he's acting erratic, his mouth is blue, his eyes are dilated, and he's challenging Joe Rogan to a fight... and we get to the bottom of just what the h*ll is going on. Afterwards we put our brains to the test with a fun game of Decodables! And then... the moment you've all been waiting for... we roast the Rizz Master's very own Hinge profile... duh Duh DUH!It's a fun episode and as always we hope you enjoy!SUB TO OUR PATREON FOR BONUS AND BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT!https://www.patreon.com/dropoutspodBUY OUR SICK FREAKING MERCH!https://www.shopdropouts.comKeep up with us!Zach: https://www.instagram.com/zachjustice/Jared: https://www.instagram.com/jarebearmusic/Alyssa: https://www.instagram.com/alyssaaliberti/Skyler: https://www.instagram.com/skylerhorne_/DM us with your questions, ideas, and videos!https://www.instagram.com/dropouts/or Email [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we start off with Jared's new, most humiliating point of his life and believe it or not... it's all Zach's fault lol. Then in the same breath almost we talk about one of Zach's biggest ego boosts! If you're confused by what this could mean, you'll see soon enough. Then we put Alyssa in the hot seat and roast her Hinge profile (and her instagram somewhat lol). We talk about the "Man of the Year" trend that's been going around on TikTok and read some of the craziest posts of people breaking up with their partners.

This week have a very special guest joining us in the diner... You might know her from her appearances on shows like World of Dance and The Next Step, or from her INSANELY viral dance routine that coined her the nickname "The Dancing Barbie Girl" where she took the world by storm. Since then she has become an award winning dancer, celebrity choreographer, and artist who just released her first EP called "Fembot Files."Today we get to know the real Dytto—or Courtney, if you will. We get to know a bit about her upbringing and story of how she got to be where she is in her life and career. We pick her brain about the romantic side of her life and the benefits and challenges that come with being a professional dancer/artist. And mostly we just get to shoot the sh*t with the actual human being behind those robotic dance moves.As always we hope you enjoy!SUB TO OUR PATREON FOR BONUS AND BEHIND THE SCENES CONTENT!https://www.patreon.com/dropoutspodBUY OUR SICK FREAKING MERCH!https://www.shopdropouts.comKeep up with us!Zach: https://www.instagram.com/zachjustice/Jared: https://www.instagram.com/jarebearmusic/Alyssa: https://www.instagram.com/alyssaaliberti/Skyler: https://www.instagram.com/skylerhorne_/DM us with your questions, ideas, and videos!https://www.instagram.com/dropouts/or Email [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
