We’re getting deep today comedy fam…This week’s episode will definitely have you thinking as I sit down with OG Hot Breathren Rome Green. He was a member of YouTube’s first comedy group, Dormtainment, who built such a big following they got a show on Comedy Central. They were the FIRST comedy group to bridge the gap between YouTube and TV. So he has seen the evolution of comedy over the years and has a lot of insights I’ve never heard before about what we comics can learn from the past. Rome has been a fan of Hot Breath! for years and we connected on my most recent LA trip to talk the future of comedy of what comics can do that sets them apart from anyone else.We go deep on topics like:Think Outside of Comedy:Rome gets real about the power of having multiple streams of income to take all the pressure off comedy money. Social Media and Content Strategy:Rome was a member of YouTube’s first comedy group and he shares insights on the evolution of comedy and where it’s going.The Power of CollaborationRome encourages collaboration, whether in writing jokes for others or seeking input from peers to enhance creativity.I’m super excited about this one and hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

The champ is here!After several months in the making, Earthquake is on the show!All of this started over a year ago when we did a review of his comedy special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHQ9UhGSY5U&t=572s Quake was so excited about the review that he reposted and reached out about being on the show. And thus the adventure begins…A few months later I met Quake backstage to record our interview and everything went wrong…The lighting was terrible…The seating was awkward…And I had the first audio recording failure EVER…Yes in over 400 interviews this fateful interview with Earthquake didn’t happen because my recorder kept freezing. You can see us below in the blown out lighting and me holding my phone trying to capture whatever audio I could…At the end of the day it just wasn’t meant to be…until NOW!We kept in touch and a few months later I flew out to LA to record our official interview at Kevin Hart’s LOL studios. What’s most inspiring about this interview is that it’s all about comics helping comics. That is the Hot Breath! ethos and for a legend like Earthquake to also believe in this mission proves we are on the right path!Thank you for all you do to make Hot Breath! the most supportive comedy community in the world!Sincerely your comedy friend,Joel ByarsJoin our email list here: https://hotbreathpodcast.com/vipJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/hotbreathpod?sub_confirmation=1Check out our classes and workshops here: https://hotbreathmedia.com

Love him or hate him, you can’t deny Brendan Schaub’s impact on comedy. Regardless if you believe his impact is for better or worse, you can’t deny he gets more online hate than other comedian. I’m all about comics helping comics and wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery, so I flew out to LA and spoke to Brendan directly about this topic and he does not disappoint.Our conversation not only addresses his controversies but also his system behind creating his own media company. What most impresses me about Brendan’s career is his business acumen and I wanted to learn all about it. We go deep on topics like:Consistency in Content Sharing:Brendan has built several successful podcasts and shares his formula for other comics to following looking to build a fan base. Balancing Life and Work:Brendan is so much about balancing comedy and family that his studio is just a few minutes from home. This is just one of the ways we discuss how has set up his life for complete balance and freedom. Dealing with Criticism:I heavily research Brendan before this interview and never really found his point of view on all the online hate, so I was sure to go deep on this topic to help other comics navigate the toxic world of social media. This is an opportunity to have an open mind and heart and you’ll be surprised what you can learn.
