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. 0:00 Intro 3:22 What Kind of Ghost Would Josh Be? 8:58 Everyone Is More Creative Than They Think 13:14 Zach’s “Journal” Goes Horribly Wrong 17:57 Zach Meets His First Black Person 20:14 Josh Johnson’s Insane Weekly Schedule 21:35 How Josh Got Started in Stand-Up Comedy 24:57 How Hollywood Is Changing for Creators 28:30 Why Your Environment Can Change Your Life 33:20 Success, Luck and Getting Into the Right Rooms 38:31 Writing for The Tonight Show and The Daily Show 40:36 Writing 150 Jokes in a Single Day 44:43 Why Josh Johnson’s Comedy Connects With People 49:48 Josh Explains Comedy Band Camp DM us with your questions, ideas, and videos! https://www.instagram.com/dropouts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dropoutspodcast https://x.com/thedropoutsspod or Email us! podcast@dropoutsmedia.com Go to the app store or www.Kalshi.com and sign up. 18+ only.
