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. 0:00 The Best of Stavros Halkias 2:13 Why Zach is reviving the Dropouts podcast 6:03 Zach’s hot take on David vs. Goliath 10:28 How Stavros Halkias starred in Tony 13:40 Stavros’ hidden talents 20:36 Working with Shane Gillis on Tires 27:56 Stavros’ acting goals 30:26 Bugonia with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons 36:48 Preparing for his Netflix Special Uncle Stav 49:05 Stavros Halkias’ health scares 54:26 Being fat in Hollywood 56:25 Zach and Stavvy answer listener questions 1:06:25 College football talk 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.
