0:00 Do you guys think Akash Singh got kicked out of Flagrant? >> Dude, I've been watching all of the ████ drama that's been coming out. Okay, so how much do you guys know so far up to now? >> I know literally everything. >> Everything? >> [laughter] >> Test him. Test him. >> Okay, I know nothing. Then so they'll give us give us the average. Give us the median what's going on. >> All right, check this out. So, Akash unfollowed Andrew Schulz. >> Woah, that's huge. >> That was his best friend apparently. >> And Charlamagne tha God. >> Well, that makes sense cuz Charlamagne and and Schulz ripped him Well, via his wife, right? Cuz they were saying, "Don't let your wife do a ████ podcast." And that I think caused a huge dustup. >> I wouldn't I wouldn't unfollow someone.
0:50 >> That's huge though. That's like arguably Andrew made him and then he's like, "F███ you." >> Well, if you think about Flagrant, right? It was a 50/50 like >> Apparently. >> Like they started it together. >> I think Schulz overshadowed. Like he just became more but they started that ████ together. >> It was meant to be. >> one knows who he is though. >> Half and half. >> But that's because Schulz got >> I think they just co-founded it like nine years ago or whatever. >> Yeah, but they were together. And then if you see their old thumbnail, it was them too. They'll they'll it was it was those two guys. So like I was like that half of your company just disappears? >> Well, I never saw them as partners. I saw them as like a star and then like a a sound board. >> Yeah, because his because [clears throat] Schulz got bigger. >> Yeah. >> It's like what's the guy with the ████ uh Stern? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Beetlejuice? >> You're talking about Beetlejuice or anything? >> Beetlejuice? No, no, the guy that has a
1:41 radio talk show. What's his name? >> Howard Stern? >> Howard Stern. There's there's other people off camera. There's just a sound board. >> BEETLEJUICE? >> [laughter] >> BEETLEJUICE IS THE BEST, DUDE. >> OKAY, so yeah, >> Hanging around. >> famous he is or whatever, right? The The weird thing was um I didn't know that he didn't show up on the last episode of Flagrant together. >> You never say goodbye. >> Yeah, and then so it was just uh Andrew saying send doing the send-off. And then but Andrew didn't stop Andrew didn't stop following him though. >> It also comes across as kind of weird because Andrew's like, "Akash is killing it so hard he was not going to be on the show anymore." And it's just come on, dude. >> of it was just I think that's what made people go, "What the hell's really going on?" >> said something like like some wording of like that's not how like we wanted it to go down type ████ or or something, right? It was the phrasing.
2:31 >> Remember they they hired these little midgets and ████ and they tried to like make it seem like it was all good with his wife. Remember that that episode they did? >> they were the security guys? >> Yeah, the security guard midgets. And they came in and did like a fake WWE style fight and like it was just Toki, I think, and the audience was like, "What the ████ We're not stupid, dude. We know this was actually super ████ up." No. >> The whole packaging of that, plus I think Andrew's farewell send-off, it all felt like they hired a PR firm to wrap it up for them. That's what it feels like. >> Insulting to general intelligence, I feel. >> I I completely agree. It It's just like just You guys are comedians, too, and >> Yeah. >> Lately comedians have been like really in the spotlight because they're they'll tell truth when the world doesn't want to. >> Or a really clever spin on the events that are happening. >> And instead we we just get fluff just like the same ████ like the media
3:21 would say. >> They should have hired Louis C.K. to spin it. >> Yeah, dude. >> [laughter] >> Anybody, but but what they did I don't know what they did. >> Yeah, should have had Gwyneth Paltrow do their apology video. >> Why Gwyneth Paltrow? >> Never mind. That would have been connected to the the cold play situation when remember they hired her to do the PR thing for the Human Resources um >> They hired Gwyneth Paltrow to damage control the CEO thing? >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> You don't You don't remember that? >> I didn't I don't remember >> I think we did a video on it. >> Oh, when they they were caught the Oh. >> Yeah, they hired Gwyneth Paltrow to like talk through it as a PR video thing and it actually was tight. >> We should talk about that. >> We did, Ari ████ Get out of here. >> No, let's go back to >> referencing something that I thought was our common knowledge, you idiots. >> All I know is she puts glitter in her ████ But okay. >> [laughter] >> Um so do you guys know their his main reason?
4:12 Like his his his outward reason was like, "I'm going to pursue my comedy career." >> Yeah, I'm going to go solo. >> But it for me, I'm like Flagrant keeps you actually relevant in in the mainstream because um I don't know, like you've you both been doing stand-up comedy and you didn't need to like juggle your time. It's like Schulz is selling out stadiums, too, and like um he wasn't he's not like Flagrant in the way of my comedy. It actually enhances. All podcasts enhances a comedian's like fandom. >> Absolutely. >> So that excuse to me just seemed like I don't know. I know a lot of people that do comedy and and they have a lot of time. >> You know what I mean? There like a a podcast or you know, once a week or whatever doesn't take up all their time.
5:02 >> And they're not like video sweatshop like we are. >> Yeah. They're not doing nothing. Yeah. They do two hours and they're done. Yeah. [clears throat] >> make it make sense. Like what what do you think? Why why would you quit then? >> that's the outside and then so the theory for me and a lot of maybe people that are speculating here is there was a true falling out behind the scenes and they wanted to figure out how to maneuver out of this way. I think that as a as a married couple, they made a decision that it was probably best. >> I think Jazmine just can't get out of her own ████ way. She just came out on some podcast she was on. She's always on these random ass podcasts, by the way. She was on this random podcast and she said that the Flagrant audience is full of racist people and like so they never were going to be down for her or whatever. And I think that was the last straw. I
5:53 think then Schulz was like, "Oh cool. So like literally our bread and butter, you're calling our fans racist. So like >> Did that video come out before he got kicked out? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yep. It was like right in that area. So so I think that was the end. I think that that's >> it feels half true because it's like that audience seems like they hate watch that show. >> That's fair. >> That audience like hates everything about it. >> Yeah. Like when you look at the comments of any Flagrant episode, it's super like it feels like old school JK comments. >> But it's only it it's only like >> The views are good but the comments are bad. >> [laughter] >> They want you to die at the same time. >> But it's only about the Akaash ████ If you know have you noticed that? Like it's not about anything else. >> I didn't notice the comments before. So you I think you're right. I do think that a lot of people just don't like Akaash. >> Yeah.
6:43 >> And they hate watch. It's kind of like how people hated Simon on American Idol but he still made American Idol, right? And I and I kind of feel like they were just waiting for Akaash to slip up so they could just slam dunk on this [laughter] ████ ass. >> Well, he also is a total hypocrite cuz he was dunking all over dudes for years about, you know, "Oh, you're a player." All this ████ and then your wife is like the biggest ████ ████ on the internet apparently. You know? >> Did Myron Gaines say anything new? Like cuz you know, he was like the first guy to really go in on this. >> Well, it's because he was getting lectured by Akaash. Like that's how it all started, right? And then he sent his fan base. >> That's so crazy, dude. >> And that's that's just ████ lit a fire. >> That's what happens when you high horse it, man. There's too much like evidence out there to get you. >> What do you guys think about this? Um I also was wondering maybe it was Schulz that was like it was Akaash didn't want
7:34 to leave but it was Schulz that was like, "You're just bringing too much bad attention to this and you're hurting my brand. You're out." >> I genuinely think it was the last straw was Jazmine calling the flagrant audience rate. >> But do you think it was Schulz actually saying because of that you're gone? >> I I don't know. I I'll never know, obviously. But imagine like we ████ all over the JK audience and call them a bunch of racist or whatever. I think >> We've had a lot of JK people talk ████ about the fans and they stuck around. I I feel like Akash left on his own accord cuz it just feels like such cuck behavior to go like, you know, with his wife and then to also like, "I'm going to hide of this. I'm getting ████ too much heat. I'm I'm out of here." And then also unfollow. It's like all of those to me like ride the same theme versus it feels like I mean, I don't know. I'm just all guessing, but it seems like Schulz is like, "Hey, we can make it work or whatever. Like I'm down to work with
8:25 you." Cuz it also feels like kind of like a similar scenario we had here >> Yeah. >> where people leave and then we still follow and then they unfollow and then, you know what I mean? It just feels very like a repeat of history with a certain behavior or a personality type. >> Do you have any names for any of that? >> No names at whatsoever. >> How about how about one of those rhymes with? We always have fun with that. >> [laughter] >> And it's kind of like similar to our situation in a way, but I also think like this is different because Akash actually has a career afterwards and he's doing stuff. >> He did sell out Radio City. >> Yeah, he's like >> That's the only thing I've heard. Literally, that's the only thing I've heard. >> You were just in Hawaii. I don't know how well he did, but like um he's still touring. He's has a So, I think he he's got his fan base. He has like He's got the Indian-American crowd. Like he's doing his thing, right? Um but going
9:15 back to the whole catalyst of all of this, I'm wondering if it's actually Jasleen's fault because I actually think it's um it's how they handled it cuz he wasn't being a comedian. Like if you were real a real comedian, right? And then Yeah, like no No gives a ████ if your wife's a ████ especially now. And in the ████ that she's done, it's actually not ████ >> No, it's not. >> Compared to what he says. >> Come on, compared to the girls today. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> But but he it's easy you can easily flip that around. You can easily flip that around, yeah. >> It's like it's like the your gay thing and he just constantly is like, "I'm not gay though. I'm not gay. I'm not gay." And it's like ████ just ████ >> Yeah, but I also think he's not doing his job as a comedian.
10:05 >> It's like you protest too much, bro. >> But if you if you if you played it well and you were likable, >> Yes. >> people don't give a ████ >> I guess it's I guess it's just clear that he's not that kind of comedian. >> I don't think he's a comedian in that way, yeah. >> Yeah. You just can't get him. >> Yeah. >> Like he's not that at all. >> have like the slidey ability. You know how like like if somebody s████ on you and you are a comedian, you like it cuz you can take it. >> "Yeah, I'm gay. I suck dick." >> And right, but he's like he's like, "No, I don't suck dick. No, >> Or like afterwards, "Hey, you know I'm not really gay, right?" >> [laughter] >> Yeah. He had like no self-deprecation clause. >> That's why I think people want to see him fall. >> Yeah, no, yeah. >> "I'm Indian, bro." That's it. >> He just he has that vibe like that's why I kind of was like I had never really enjoyed him just cuz I'm like he feels like the kid who's going to tell on you
10:56 at school. You know what I mean? >> Totally. >> Like >> [laughter] >> and I I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I'm like I did no matter what he's doing, I just feel like this dude's like he's like Randall from Recess, you know the cartoon? The kid the little Jewish kid who's always telling on people? >> Yeah. >> It just feels like that. I'm like, "Oh man, I can't really like have fun with this." Like if everything feels like serious underneath the funny. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally. I totally do. And by the way, with Schulz, I've never seen that guy act serious about anything, whereas Akash always seems like he has a stick up his ass. >> Yeah, it's >> He's lecturing people. >> Yeah, and he's lecturing people. And nobody likes that, by the way. Nobody likes to be lectured. >> [laughter] >> Hated it. >> Yeah. But I think that's what it is is like you weren't doing your job as a comedian. You could have played It would have been a pretty easy play. >> Oh, dude, so many comedians would have
11:47 loved for that to happen to them. That would be like their big break, basically. >> Exactly. And then you use that, flip it, move forward, right? >> Yeah. It's like It's like a you're being teed up like the the easiest pitch and instead of swinging you just tell on everyone. >> [laughter] >> He threw it too hard. >> And also he he has admitted so many times that this has really ████ with him and that's such a mistake. >> Cuz they're going to go harder on you. >> You can't feed the trolls, man. The trolls they eat off of that. That's That's like you know, if you're a hater like we're all we're all hater about something. >> Yeah, of course. >> You're just like eating well if you're a hater of a comic. [laughter] You know what I mean? Like you just can't stop getting Postmates deliveries to the door cuz you're just eating so good. >> [laughter] >> Cuz that episode with Jasleen >> Yeah. >> I think it could have been so much
12:38 better if they took accountability. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah, they did. >> If she actually was like she's like yeah, if she was like I got I got ████ eaten out but you know what? I'm still a virgin and explain that. Explain actually what the ████ >> [laughter] >> Hey, that honestly would be good content. >> You You'd be surprised how many people don't think that oral sex is actually sex and that's a discussion. But that's a thing. >> But also I would make fun of that for sure. >> That's funny, right? [laughter] >> Yeah. >> But at least address it. That's what I'm saying is at least get to the good juicy part cuz people want [laughter] to ████ know instead of brushing it under the and then gaslighting people. >> That's the part where that I was it was dumb because they really made people feel like wow, you guys think everyone's that dumb? >> Yeah. >> Like you think that people are going to digest that? >> address anything. They They even get into the details. They're like come on,
13:28 you know what I mean? Like rosters fake. Oh, I'm just innocent." Like, come on, what the ████ is that? >> They did it They did a TV-style damage control to the internet. >> Yep. >> And that's insulting. >> But wait, it made Schult look bad as well because like he's obviously co-signed it. >> And he's supposed to be like the realist that calls everything out. >> Right. And instead he's like coming off as fake as ████ too. So, it's just it just didn't work. >> Yeah, it felt like it felt like HR. You know what I mean? >> It's like you gave HR a budget. >> [laughter] >> And like, "We're going to get these little midgets to come on." >> Gwyneth Paltrow. >> Nice. Jesus Christ. >> [laughter] >> But I think Yeah, like well, they ████ up in so many ways, right? She undermined his brand and what he was saying. >> Forever. >> Cuz it's like What are you doing for real? Yeah. What are you doing going around like saying all this ████ when you know your husband's out there saying you guys have
14:18 this traditional marriage and then you're out here talking about like your ████ sore in the morning and then you won't even kiss him on camera cuz that's what I think that ████ is like so conflicting, right? >> Yeah, they just owned him with all that ████ >> Yeah, they did. They really did. Yeah. >> So hard. >> Her ████ was sore in the morning one time? >> Yeah, so it was weird because she was like, "Yeah, I was at this frat party or whatever." She woke up in the morning and her ████ was sore, right? And then so like that means you got analed, right? And And it's like you can't go out telling people that you're ████ innocent and ████ And then And then um the whole like not kissing on camera thing, she goes like, "Yeah, [snorts] like we're Indian. We're We're like traditional. We don't do that." But you talk openly about getting >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> And she talked about She was on a podcast. She talked about wanting to do a threesome with some dude's wife or or
15:08 some dude's husband. >> I don't know what that's like. What tradition is that? >> And then she's like, "But I'm just kidding." And it's like, "Yeah, but those aren't even structured jokes or anything." >> Yeah, right. Exactly. >> Like how was that funny? >> Right. >> That's like, "Hey, Steve, you know yesterday I tried to get a ████ Yeah. >> Yeah, right. Yeah, [laughter] that's right. >> [snorts] >> Yeah, but that's why Charlamagne was saying like, "Get your ████ wife off the damn podcast." Which he's is which I totally get because she's not very good on that stuff like talking about if she's if those are her jokes and it just makes the internet go like, uh what? It does not help anything. >> Have those like that dynamic of like married couple uh buddy cop going against the grain of each other, it only works when you're in the same room. >> Yes. >> That ████ doesn't work when you're away and you're like doing everything anti what your husband said. That ████ doesn't work that way. You're supposed
15:58 to Laurel and Hardy that ████ Why are you ████ two different shows? >> It's very clear that you're not being your authentic self and I think that pisses the internet off. >> Yes. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Clearly a lot ████ than you're acting and you just won't own it and it's very confusing. And then Akash will continue to insist, again, I'm not gay. I'm not ████ gay. He's He's like, "No, you don't understand. She's clean as the pure driven snow. >> All you guys. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, but she talks about getting eaten out on a rack. It's like address it. Like say all the points. >> an Indian tradition, [laughter] man. >> That's only instant instant Indian girls do that. You don't understand the culture, dude. >> But like our skanks have talked about our sex lives and all kinds of ████ And like it's it's not like I would I would be all indignant about it be like, "Oh my god, Nikki was the biggest virgin before she met with me, you know?" She >> We never set it up that way. If we're if we're already degenerates, people are
16:49 just like, they're just like >> It would be like if Nikki was on another show and was like crying about how she doesn't like being called skank by Steve. >> Too bad, ████ >> How that would undermine what he does here, you know? >> [laughter] >> People would be like, "Ooh, it's not cool to laugh at him." >> and call him a abuser and all this ████ like [laughter] >> Yeah, but >> Yeah. >> He never stomped on me with size 12 Tims. >> [laughter] >> He's like, "They hurt though." >> Well, I mean, we all had public like out like relationships, whatever, right? But it's never gone to this point. And I think >> It's cuz we're being our authentic selves, I think. You know what I mean? And instead they're kind of faking it. And then we're all like, "Dude, you're not You don't sound like a virgin." >> You're not over-representing your partners ever, really. You know, you're not like trying to say more than what they are, more than what they do.
17:39 >> I think Nikki's pretty hot. >> Thanks. >> Oh, yeah. I mean, you're over-representing each other's partners, though. >> [laughter] >> But I mean, at the end of the day, like do you think any of this is going to change? Like are they going to go on a downward >> I think the only shot that he has, and it's ████ up and I'm not rooting for it, is if he actually does get a divorce from her and then he just wilds out about the entire situation. That's the the only move he has left. >> picks career over marriage, for sure. >> Yeah. >> If he really just has a sick ass set at his Radio City sold-out show that he addresses all this. >> Just about other jokes, not addressing this. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, that'll be crazy. >> That's tough, man. >> That would be freaking sick, though. >> some inside joke about it or something, but I don't think he's going deep on it. >> Yeah, it doesn't seem like >> I feel like that's where you got to go, though, right? >> like, everyone's kind of loaded up for a
18:30 rebrand move if they all want to do it, you know. >> Or if he just does enough sets and hopefully wishes it washes out and you don't and don't worry about it anymore. >> But people are still talking about it today, right? And that must mean that he made a lot of people feel like, I don't like him to the point where they still like For me, I'm still ████ interested, and I don't think I dislike him, but it the the train wreck is crazy. >> Yeah. Hated man on the internet right now? >> I think so. >> Damn, really? >> But what makes him so unlikable? >> I think it's like we talked about, he's just not That's not who he is. I also think that the guys on the Shultz show, they all sound kind of fake and gay, too, where they they all they all talk like they're black dudes a lot. You know what I mean? [laughter] They just like code switch a s███████ >> Especially if there's a black guy there. >> Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I just don't >> What it also is I guess like I don't
19:20 know how you guys see this, but I'm more used to comedians trying to find ways to seem like they're worse people cuz that's funnier. >> Totally. >> It's just like you know like when when certain comedians from the Joe Rogan sphere got really famous and rich and they started using those traits in their stand-up about having more things or being rich and it wasn't funny anymore. It's kind of like that. It's like anything comedian-wise where you're putting yourself higher. How the ████ does that work? Like what are you winning by doing that? Like the flex on people that just want to laugh cuz they don't want to think about their own ████ hardships. You're going to say how much richer you are than them? >> That's like when we talk about business on this show. It's like everyone's like shut the ████ up. >> [laughter] >> Three people just stopped commenting asking us to make those. >> Yeah, I know. >> Cuz it's ████ I know, right? >> Stop trying to tell me how to be a
20:11 businessman and just be funny, please. ████ off. >> But yeah, anything like especially with moral. I think the the morality the higher morality thing is like people in comedy are degenerates. Cuz the consumers are degenerates. They want to ████ >> Yeah. >> We want to feel the lows. Like that's and laugh about them. That's crazy to be like no, I'm moral authorities on this side. >> And if he was really trying to be an inspiring dude for like like hey, we're going to you guys should should be traditional. You guys you guys got to be with the wife and this and that. Like he's not he does not he's not an inspiring character where you're just I'm like I don't want to be cucked. >> Nah, you don't want to be like that. >> Dude, you hate this guy. >> [laughter] >> Don't want to admit it, but he hates this ████ guy for sure. >> I don't hate people I've never met. >> That's fair. Okay. Ryan hates this guy. >> I don't hate him. >> You don't hate a lot of people. I think you don't like a car scene though.
21:01 >> him, but but I don't I don't like uh I just don't like anyone that's really trying to seem like they're doing something better than you in that way. Like relationships. And then I I like it better when someone talks like they have a bad marriage and then the secret is that it's great. >> Nice. >> I like that ████ >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> You know what I mean? >> All right, you're running for mayor a little bit, but that's okay. >> [laughter] >> I like uh Kumail Nanjiani.
