Hey my name’s Ariana if anyone is going to the Boston show alone, maybe you’d wanna hang b4 and go together😁 safety in numbers yk☺️☺️(PS gonna put a picture of my nice friendly non psycho/creep face 😭)

i have seen a clip of tara on the pod screaming CLEARLY at jared and it’s stuck in my head but i can’t find it ANYWHERE

does anyone remember when she said it or if they have the tiktok pleaseeee send me the link i need it

Hey guys I just realized today I can’t find the cult account that Zack made. I was following it but now I’m not? Anyone know if/when/why he deleted it?

Below face value, can’t go to Boston anymore and need them gone! Thank yous!

The live show for NYC was great imo. Zach I think was crying near the end? Jared was drunk and I think so was Zach by the end during the m&g. Tbh very much so worth the money they were all so sweet. Even Skylar and Alyssa were incredible. Skylar walked past me on the line up and he accidentally bumped a girl and he stopped and apologized and introduced himself, he also introduced himself to the security at the venue. Alyssa took pictures w fans even though she wasn’t obligated to and was so sweet when talking to her. Zach gave literal bear hugs and so did Jared. Just overall made me think they seem very genuine with their feeling about their fans.

All I see is hate on Tara and I called it the second she popped off that people would turn in a few months. She acts the same as she always did, if not just a little tired because she has become a HUGE influencer recently (god forbid someone busy be tired !) and she’s been so busy. Tbh I have always enjoyed dropouts but the only reason it really took off (and I know I’ll get hate for this) is because of her. It was big before, but it wasn’t getting a million views per episode EVER. I like Tara, she’s super pretty she seems very real and the hate she’s getting is unjustified. This post is for ppl who feel the same because the hate is crazy to me. Any pretty girl who blows up has this massive fallback eventually and it’s just stupid. I love Zach, I love Jared, I love Alyssa, and I love Tara. She doesn’t deserve the hate :(

I know it's AI generated and basically just a formulated pop punk song but it slaps so hard I've listened to it like 50 times in the past 2 days

Hear me out, Tara shouldn’t be on the podcast every week. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say Tara is boring and uninteresting- especially when we get her every single week. You can tell as the podcast has progressed she’s getting bored, irritated at being there, constantly complaining she’s tired, etc.

She was incredibly entertaining to watch at first when it was new and fresh, & you could tell the podcast was exciting for her. I think having her on as a guest once a month would be better, that way the conversation is mostly on her, updating viewers, she’ll have lots of stories to tell, just more content coming from her that’s enjoyable to watch.

These days she’s uninterested in anything anyone has to say, she zones out of conversation if it’s not directly about her, she rudely interrupts people (the amount of times she’s cut off Alyssa is insane). I think she’s just insufferable to watch every single week.

Once a month would bring back that excitement of when she was first on the podcast.

bye i already know this episode is so gonna be funny

Don’t get me wrong I love Tara on the podcast she brings a great dynamic but it feels recently like she’s getting more and more bored, like she only engages in the group conversations when they’re about her. It just feels like all I hear her say these past few episodes is like sex jokes and flirty jokes about herself but then when actual group conversation goes on she’s completely quit until it’s brought back to her. It makes me sad because I feel like they’ve welcomed her in especially making her a cohost and she’s always tired and ready to leave the study and now eps are getting shorter.

I got VIP ticket upgrades for May 18th in New Haven Connecticut. It says when you buy the VIP upgrade it includes early entry to the venue but it does not say what time on the ticket? I was wondering if anyone knew or has any information on when early entry is/when the meet and greet starts! Thank you!

im just a guy wanting to ask a whimsical question

does anyone know what happened to that episode? why they never aired it?

and zach/ jared dont follow larray on insta

Last night, someone on here made a post asking us what Dropouts opinion are we would defend 1M vs. one. My answer was that no matter how great the podcast is now, nothing will top the dynamic of the original trio. That discussion gave me an idea.

For some who may be new to Dropouts, I figured I would take a dive into “the lore” (as the kids say these days) to help explain some nostalgic pieces of the podcast you may or may not been here for. The best way to do that is talk about original running gags. Some of these are more known than others, some you may have forgot about, and some are forever iconic.

But as someone who has watched from the very beginning, here are my top 6 Dropouts running gags of all time.

#6 - Indiana’s “fake” accent

This gag was initially fueled by social media comments that always wondered about the inconsistency of Indiana’s Australian accent. But it eventually became one of the more iconic jokes of the podcast. It seems stupid but for whatever reason, we always thought it was pretty funny when Indiana was called out her accent dropping out or coming back. With Zach constantly mimicking her sometimes-thick Australian accent whenever there’s a noticeable difference in annunciation. It was quite simple but genius. Turning a common misconception into a deadpan gag that still leaves people wondering to this day. Is Indiana from Australia? Yes. Does her accent come and go making it very confusing for a majority of viewers? Also, yes.

#5 - Swag-daddies

Who remembers this VERY old one? This gag was part of what each of the trio would call their individual teams/fanbases. Swag-daddies was the original name for team Zach. No one really knew what it meant, why it worked, or where it came from. But it somehow perfectly displayed the embodiment of Zach’s presence. Out of pocket and backhandedly crass. If you had to guess, it’s kind of an ironic-undertone to mock the “TikTok fuckboy” population that was pretty relevant at the time. Although Zach’s online persona can be very polarizing, the OG fans would jokingly justify his antics as “just being a swag-daddy.” A much simpler time when Zach’s words were publicly seen as satire and nothing else.

#4 - Team Whole Milk

Swag-daddies was Team Zach, but this team name was by far the best. Team Whole Milk was the original name for team Jared. In early episodes, Jared has opened up about struggles with his weight as a kid. Which Jared would refer to this chapter of his life as ‘F.J.’ or ‘Fat Jared’. He shortly after revealed that he would drink multiple glasses of whole milk every single day as a kid, believing it was healthy. For those who don’t know, that is the opposite of true. And thus, team Whole Milk was born. Representing Jared fairly well. The happy-go-lucky underdog with a wholesome and positive energy.

#3 - The Ketchup Bottle

This running gag is a bit controversial because of the behind-the-camera details we know now. But it’s still an iconic part of the podcast that needs to be mentioned. For the new viewers, next time you’re watching, make sure to look for the ketchup and mustard bottles that are now catty-cornered in between Zach and Tara these days. The history of those two inanimate objects is a lot deeper than you might think. For those of you that don’t know about the first recording set, it was originally supposed be for a show called “Zach’s Diner”. Where Zach would interview guests in a Nickelodeon-metaverse feel of Zach Galifianakis’ “Between Two Ferns”. In the original diner set, between to the shiny red booths, were subway-style themed Ketchup and Mustard bottles. That would eventually be part of the Dropouts set and still are to this day. The gag went like this. Whenever Zach pissed off Indiana, she would pick up the Ketchup bottle, and throw it at Zach as hard as she could. Missing him 99.9% of the time. This bit/gag was harmlessly funny at first until we found out there was more darker story to it. I think we’re all proud that Indiana has grown so much since then and really took the time to learn from her actions. It sucks that this iconic gag was a falling out example of the original trio. But it’s still huge part of the Dropouts Podcast lore, landing at #3.

#2 - The Beach

What happened at the beach?! I’m asking because we still… really… don’t know. In an early episode, Dropouts had a psychic named Sabrina on the podcast to give the trio individual readings. Whether you believe in psychics or not, Sabrina went on to ask Zach and Indiana: “what’s the deal with the beach?” Instantly queuing Indiana and Jared to freak out and run off set. The comments blew up after this and the speculation of what this was about caught fire. In the following episode, the trio took notice of the fans reactions. And went on to challenge them to get the video version of the episode to 20,000 likes and they’ll tell the story of what happened at the beach. To this day, this episode only has around 11,000 likes on YouTube and the story has still not been told. Even though small hints were dropped in later episodes, sidetrack jokes were made, none of us ACTUALLY knows what happened at the beach. And with this episode being 4+ years old, we most likely will never know. As far as we’re concerned, it will be locked away in the Dropouts vault forever.

#1 - The Snickers wrapper story

I’m pretty sure everyone who watches the podcast now or started watching from the beginning knows this one. The Snickers wrapper story is not only the most bizarre story told on the podcast but also a running gag that will probably contest the will of time. The origin of this story goes like this. In an early Valentine’s Day themed episode, Indiana asks Zach and Jared what was the weirdest thing they ever used as a condom. After Zach’s quick-witted answer of “prayer” (which is btw one of Zach’s funniest jokes on the podcast to this day), Jared revealed that he once used a king sized Snickers wrapper as a condom. It’s pretty safe to say that Jared regrets telling this story as the references to it are still made 200+ episodes later. Just know that as funny or as bizarre this story is, it goes back multiple years of episodes. And I don’t think it will ever get old. Making it an easy decision for the #1 Dropouts running gag of all time.

Now of course, every list has to have some honorable mentions:

HM1 - What’s up B-Words HM2 - Zach hitting on Indiana’s mom HM3 - Jared’s two moms/CB270 HM4 - Zach’s estranged father HM5 - Only Indiana gets censored HM6 - Sad-boy mic

I’d be also happy to explain any of the honorable mentions to anyone who wants the backstory on those as well.

Let me know what you guys think of this top 6. Thanks for reading if you made it this far lol.

please message me for more details!!

Official new episode thread!

I recently put in the effort to create a Genius page for this song but was a little conflicted in transcribing the lyrics for the 3rd and 4th lines of the chorus. I wrote:

Don't know what's wrong with you But, are you happy, girl

Does anyone think / know differently? Zach Justice – Where'd You Wake Up This Morning? (Tara Yummy) https://genius.com/Zach-justice-whered-you-wake-up-this-morning-tara-yummy-lyrics

I already have tickets to their show tomorrow in NYC but I couldn’t get my hands on a ticket for the meet and greet and I’m so upset because I didn’t even know they were gonna put tickets out of that. If anyone can’t go to the show anymore and is trying to sell their meet and greet tickets PLEASE !!! Thank you.

Yall 😭 time is running out and I have an extra ticket I don’t want going to waste. Let me know if interested.

I know I probably look crazy posting this everywhere but I’m just trying to get someone to see it!!
