What's goody Hot Breath averse?

I am reporting to you live from Walking My Dog to give you a quick Hot breath update for 2025.

A lot of things are going to be changing this year and I've been getting messages about why haven't I been posting the weekly podcast, why haven't I been doing the weekly live stream?

Where are all the weekly emails?

Well, they all got a little sidetracked when a little change happened in my life.

I just became a father for the first time and I meant to give you a heads up ahead of time that I'd be taking a break, but everything happened so fast that I ended up just having the kid and then being like, okay, I need to focus on keeping this kid alive while also maintaining my sleep and sanity.

But I want to connect with you directly here just to give you a quick update on what we can expect from Hot Breath moving forward, which the podcast will keep coming.

I have like five recorded.

They just need to be scheduled out and edited.

And I have the live streams I still plan to do.

I was just talking with Yoshi about this yesterday.

But the big change that's going to be happening is more education directly with you, more classes, more workshops, more one on one time with you to help you with your specific comedy goals for this year and beyond.

I started teaching a lot more online last year.

What I've really learned is I really enjoyed that my teachers, my teachers, I have baby brain, my parents were teachers and I used to teach a lot more.

I did in person classes here in Atlanta and then I started doing some online recently and I've really enjoyed those and I've really enjoyed seeing the results and hearing the, the positive feedback from all the students who have joined those.

So really with a kid at home, I will keep doing the road.

Like I have a corporate gig next week in Raleigh, North Carolina.

So any hot breathers in that area, please hit me up.

Let's see if we can do a hot breath hangout or something together.

So I will be still hitting the road, but I do want to be home more and I've learned that I can be home more and still help comics by doing these classes and workshops.

So we're going to continue to do that and we're also going to continue to do the monthly contest that we started near the end of last year.

So really hot breath isn't going anywhere.

It's actually growing everywhere.

Ooh, that's a T shirt right there.

But that's the too long, didn't read version But I would love to hear from you.

Any ideas, any types of classes, any types of workshops, any types of content you would like to see.

I'd like to start posting more educational stuff on YouTube as well, beyond just the interviews and things like that, but really helping Hot Breath become an even bigger authority in the comedy education space and really helping comics while building the world's most supportive and inclusive comedy community.

And I'm super excited about that and I think having my child has really helped to crystallize that vision.

But it's not possible without you.

So any ideas you have, any questions you have, really any reactions to this, even if you just heard it and we're like, hey, thanks for posting that update.

I was wondering what was going on.

Please hit me up on social media, Oelbyers Comedy or at Hot Breath Pod.

And you can also reply to the email that I send about this.

And if you're not on the email list, do go ahead and join that because I will be sending more direct updates there as well.

But I actually have to pick up my dog's poop now.

So that is just a quick update for what's happening.

We're not going anywhere.

Everything's right on track to be the biggest and best year of Hot Breath yet.

And it's not possible without all of us doing it together.

So I'm excited to see what we can make happen this year.

And any questions, comments you have, I'd love to hear from you, but have a great day.

I love you all.

And we'll see on the other side, Hot Breath.
