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, Jason is joined by stand-up comedian, podcaster, and now first-time author Jared Freid for a conversation about the business behind comedy, betting on yourself, and how money, confidence, and relationships are more connected than we think. Three years after his first appearance on Trading Secrets, Jared returns with his second Netflix special, The Family Plan, and breaks down exactly what it took to get there. After spending roughly $80,000 producing his first special, Jared reveals why he invested around $100,000 of his own money into the second, how the licensing economics work, why he partnered with Betches for marketing power, and why that partnership means splitting the licensing fee 50/50. He also shares why landing in Netflix's Top 10 in the U.S. and Canada for nearly a week still wasn't enough to guarantee Netflix would finance his next special. Jared also opens up about the economics of his growing comedy career, revealing that touring and the U Up? podcast are currently his two biggest financial drivers. He breaks down the ownership structures behind U Up? and JTrain, why subscriptions have become increasingly important to podcasting, and why paid social partnerships remain more of a bonus than a core piece of his business. Beyond comedy, Jared gets candid about writing his first book, Walking Red Flag, including spending two years on the project, realizing after his first page that he needed a ghostwriter, and paying that expense out of his book advance. He also shares how stepping away from alcohol, his experience with GLP-1s, and rebuilding his relationship with his girlfriend changed his confidence and outlook on life. From investing six figures into your own career to prenups, joint finances, ghosting, dating economics, protecting what you've built, and why Jared says he's never regretted taking a risk—this episode breaks down what it really looks like to build a career without waiting for someone else to give you your big break.

This episode we talk Louis CK's Netflix special 'Ridiculous'. It reminded me of Chevy Chase's 1993 talkshow and the time Michael Jordan came back from retirement the second time. It's just....well...it's not his best and it looks like his heart isn't in it. Also SCOTUS rules to uphold the constitution...barely.How has the last 10 years shaped stand up? Well, it's dominated by unfunny cult figures and CK's new special seems to reflect as much. He was once the untouchable icon of comedy and now he's just sort of...predictable and out of ideas.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks things off with inspiration before diving into a mix of trending headlines, celebrity buzz, and real-life conversations that keep listeners locked in. Comedian Sheryl Underwood is celebrating a major career moment with a Netflix comedy special on the way—set for a one-night event and executive produced by Kevin Hart after her standout performance at his recent roast. Meanwhile, NFL star Dak Prescott has social media talking after being spotted with his ex-fiancée’s former bridesmaid at a Texas event, sparking dating rumors—though both insist they’re just friends despite eyewitness reports suggesting otherwise. The show also taps into sports updates, mental health awareness conversations, and plenty of comedic moments that balance the heavier news. Things heat up even more with viral celebrity headlines, including legendary actress Pam Grier opening up about her love life and aging, revealing on a podcast that intimacy has changed with time and even joking that it can last “three days” at her age. On the political and economic front, rising gas prices are becoming a major concern, driven in part by escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which have pushed oil prices higher and added pressure to consumers already feeling financial strain. From entertainment to real-world impact, the show blends humor, culture, and commentary—keeping listeners informed while still delivering the laughs and conversation they expect.

Michelle Wolf is probably best known for being the comedian who roasted Sarah Huckabee Sanders to her face at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2018. Seven years later, her only regret is that she wasn't meaner. In this episode, Wolf reflects on how much—and how little—has changed since, from Donald Trump's escalating attacks on comedians to her new identity as mom of two, which she explores in her new Netflix special ‘The Well.' She discusses her complicated reasons for turning down the Riyadh Comedy Festival, explains how her short-lived talk show ‘The Break' predicted Trump 2.0, and shares her take on the fragile state of late-night TV. And later, Wolf reveals how she ended up writing Kim Kardashian's SNL monologue after the reality star decided Amy Schumer's jokes weren't funny enough.
