0:00 Sometimes I get so painfully nostalgic for college. So, for context, I went to college from 2011 to 2016. I was popping my ████ and living my best life in these white boy frat houses, and I had a roster of guys that I would rotate through. Okay, so as you guys know, uh Akash left Flagrant 2, and the reasoning that nobody believes that um that they gave is that he wants to focus on his stand-up career. But, wouldn't it make more sense to stay on Flagrant because then it keeps increasing his >> Yeah. Cuz it's comedy adjacent. It's not like he's like leaving construction to do comedy. Yeah, I I nobody believes that. Yeah.

0:50 And like cuz like dude, being an electrician like is all these hours is like it's still comedy adjacent when he's still not touring. >> Yeah. He does his podcast, or I don't know. Or maybe it really was conflicting in his schedule. But, I I think it's because every single time he was coming back or like people just wouldn't stop. >> Yeah, they wouldn't let go of it. >> Even the ones that he wasn't on. Yeah, they're still commenting negative stuff. >> point in like, you know, like if Flagrant 2 wants to have a new guest or someone, no one's going to talk about in the comments whatever that guy's saying. They're just going to talk about Akash, so it makes sense, but So, it was a good PR move. Yeah, I think it's probably smart for everybody, but I think like at this point since that happened already and it's way back, like what do you guys think of the idea that your spouse could just ruin your career? Cuz that's essentially what happened here. >> I wonder if it's really on her

1:41 because if he didn't go so hard like being self-righteous, like lecturing people, saying how great it was, whatever. I think like it wouldn't matter as much cuz women talk like that all the time about their husbands that are like like public. Cuz this got blown up basically by Myron Gaines. Yeah. He was basically just doing a comeback at and him and then became this. Which is crazy. Do you think that it would have been this bad if he never really like lectured Myron? >> I think just people don't like Akash for whatever reason. So they want to see him get hurt. Yeah. Even their fan base wants to see it, too. They have like Yeah, they have like a toxic fan base that just wants, you know, to see the downfall in some weird way. But I think it's because when you're someone that's like

2:32 everything is perfect here, you should be like me, Yeah. it makes people feel like, oh, so you think you're better than me? And then When one >> That's the real thing that they didn't address. I really wish that when Jasleen came around Yeah. and then that episode, they would just I think that would have helped everything. If they addressed how he's like promoting himself as a good example. More like um like a lot of like just kind of like well yeah, a lot of the stuff >> Like how that was the mistake. >> She was the Yeah, she was just joking, whatever, right? And then like yeah, I know I came pretty hard on Myron and then it's because I wanted to promote marriage. Like I love my marriage with her. Like it's great. Like whatever. If he did that, I think that it would have been more like a human type of of like oh, you're

3:22 addressing stuff and you're addressing the stuff that a lot of people were pissed at. Yeah. I think that probably would have been a good two thing. Yeah, like cuz I think that's what mainly people are mad at is like you're on your high horse. I don't think he was actually executing that, but this is the public. >> Yeah. This is their perception. >> perception is you think you're so perfect, look at your wife, she's actually denying this, she's actually like whoring around, and then you you're just being a cuck, a simp, you know. It can't be like, oh, I absolutely love her and I worship her and she's she's amazing." >> The things he was saying it was so different than the things that she was saying. It was It was such a stark contrast that you can't It's hard to recover from. And then she messed up because I couldn't see the type of jokes she was doing, but it wasn't in It wasn't with him in the room. And then so it's like if your wife is

4:13 roasting you >> doesn't match how he talks. >> Exactly. So if he's out there saying this stuff and it doesn't match what she's saying in her podcast being like the bad girl, right? >> Yeah. Then there's such a contrast that it it seems like she's going under you to do some ████ >> Was he Was he aware? >> If you're talking about I'm sure he was aware, but it's like it's like if you're talking about your wife being a virgin and you're so lucky that you have her. >> Which would comes up a lot. >> No one's ever ran through her and then on another podcast you're saying stuff that kind of obviously goes against that. Cuz I think I saw a lot of clips too where if he was on a different podcast the first introduction to him and his personal life is the fact that him and his wife were both virgins together. Cuz that's a crazy story, right? Like that's what he's been on all these different pods and he's talking about that. So it stands out. So everybody talks about it. >> Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you see her being like, "I was popping

5:04 my ████ around town." Like it is it is just a crazy stark difference. I also think another factor of it is is that Flagrant was kind of just steady rising to the top and it kind of almost hit its pinnacle, especially when they had Trump on. Right? And then a lot of people were mad that they platformed Trump cuz they pretty much say that like, "All right, you platformed him for him to win and now people are upset with the whole presidency." So I think it's a combination of that, too, where their fans are like, "You know what? ████ you." >> They have a lot of people that hate them. Like >> Yeah, because of that. >> Massively, yeah. Because of the political And even if they say, "You know what? We ████ up." Doesn't matter. Like they can forgive themselves for it. They apologize to the audience. They're still going to hold that to them. They're going to hold their feet to the fire, and I think a lot of times when you become the top pod, they just want to see you fall. >> That's yeah, exactly. >> Like it's a weird thing that does

5:54 happen, I think with fans and Like Fighter and the Kid, yeah. >> Yeah, they're making all this money, they're high success, and then they because some comedians, they get to a point where they take themselves too seriously, or they talk about how much money they got, which is fine, whatever. But to the people watching and they're over here suffering, and they're like, "You know what? ████ you. You're the reason why I'm in this s█████ position." And your wife's a ████ You know, like so >> Cuz they feel like they've compromised the original values. >> That's the only like thing I could think of where I'm like, "Man, this is like really visceral. They are not They are not letting this go." >> Don't you think it's different where like let's say that Robert Irwin, who everyone loves. >> Who's that? He's Wow, sir. No, I don't know who that is, sorry. >> Um he's Steve Irwin's son. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> This guy like can do no wrong, everyone loves him, right? If if he were to say something where like, you know, he was proud of his wife, and then his his wife said some ████ like that, people would

6:45 feel bad for him. But then in Akash's case, people were like, "You know what I mean?" They just I think they just really hate this guy. >> We know Nick's story. We know that they both lost their virginity to each other. It's this It's a similar kind of picture here where they they got married, they they were high school sweethearts, whatever, right? If Tiff for some reason went around talking about popping her ████ getting ████ eaten out during her rag, or whatever, I think I think all the same things that Jasleen said, right? >> She said she was getting eaten out during her rag on a >> Something along the lines Don't I don't want to I don't want to give misinformation, but it was something like It was something along the lines of that. And then so that's It was one of the pieces of evidence where people were like, "Wait, you're a virgin, but like like you got You're talking about getting eaten out?

7:36 Like I guess it doesn't like like is that There was a lot of gray area. So there was a lot of stacks of things that I like like popping my ████ out of roster of men. And she's posting this. Like that it's yeah, I think it is different when you're talking about this on a pod. >> being interrogated. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like >> She's like I miss when I my frat days when I when I had a roster of guys. >> Yeah. And I but later it I think she explained it like I didn't know what that meant. Like I wasn't ████ these guys. I was dating a lot I was going on dates or some ████ like that. I remember yeah, we talked about all that. Anyways, um so imagine if if Tim did that, I actually don't think people would start calling Nick the cuck. They might. >> [laughter] >> But I actually think people will feel bad for Nick. >> That's also because Nick would call himself the cuck first. But but that's that's what I mean. >> That's what it is though. >> The sentiment should be that normally, but it's not. >> Because Nick doesn't lecture us on how

8:26 good his marriage is. >> On camera I don't. It's true. Off camera I do. And I'm tired of it. But also people don't hate him. >> [laughter] >> Whether it's for that reason. >> Yeah, dude. I think people just hate Akash. Like for every whatever reason. >> It's hard when you got all this footage of you and this is for us too cuz we have all this footage of us talking, saying all kinds of wild ████ you know? And eventually when you do that over and over again, people start to kind of get a sense of who you are, you know? And I feel like some people get annoyed by him, the way he talks, and he does talk like he's on a high horse sometimes. And I think that all feeds into his unlikability. Yeah. I think he was like primed to be hated for this. I don't think it's like a It's a culmination. It's a consequence. >> fully put it on Jazlyn. >> Yeah. Cuz I'm like yeah, you were the thing that to tip it over finally. It was a house of cards. That's why when people are blaming Jazlyn, I actually

9:17 don't think that that's the actual cause. I think it was a just give me a reason and she was the reason. >> definitely the match. It was the >> [laughter] >> The fire was set, bro. What do you feel like is the current sentiment towards Jazlyn then? Oh, it's not good. I don't I think people just because it's not like that's only thing she's really known for it I don't know if she did anything prior like as a creator or anything like that. I think she was just starting out trying to go on podcast and things like that and be an influencer. Yeah, cuz didn't she have like a real job and stuff? >> Yeah, and then and then um during that process of exploring her like comedic tone and whatever, I think uh she was probably contrasting a cost too much, saying her own like things, right? I I think it's like that you know

10:08 like that call me daddy or call me maybe or whatever. You know how they talk about like sex a lot. >> to do the Indian version. >> a boss girl sex liberated and I think she was trying to do the Cuz they are that's like the top pod. Sure, yeah, it is, yeah. Huge. Yeah, so you see everyone trying to copy that just like how all these dude podcasts try to copy Joe Rogan. It's like it's very similar, you know. So, my question to you guys is if you were in Akash's shoes, would you think leaving Flagrant is actually the better decision for your career or I I don't know I I don't know about career, but I think for your mentality I would leave. Yeah, right? >> If that was me and just for my peace of mind I would just want a clean slate. It was probably the best thing he could have done. But I think like I don't if that if that really was me, I I don't know if my marriage would last past that. Yeah, that's a big one. >> I'd be like that's such a big variable

10:59 in how this all got ████ up. Again, like I'm sure if that was me, I'd be ████ it up myself as well. But like you said, I could have done without the match. I'm already covered in gas as my living. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know like why it wasn't strategically Maybe they just didn't think it was that important, but like I just the contrast is so big that I can't imagine any of us with our wives having such a different story. >> is it's just really fundamentally stupid to have such a popular show and even allow your wife to make a contrasting content. >> Yeah. I think that is the dumbest ████ on the planet to be like, "Yeah, sure. Go ahead." And then be a partner almost like a like a companion episode to the ████ we're doing that could totally affect it. And then she didn't know that

11:50 the stuff that she was saying was contrasting. >> Why would you do that? You're on the same team. >> Yeah, that's where I was just like >> she not know? Well, cuz I'm I'm sure they were trying to write hotels, right? You're trying to do like I know that was probably their intention. And it makes sense, right? I guess if you want to if your job like if you wanted to be a podcast, I guess. I think that's why people just don't respect Akash because the lack of power that he has in his relationship that he's so proud of. It's like you couldn't even stop your wife from ████ your ████ up like she's not even in the same business. She extra curricularly did that. >> That that's the most confusing part for me cuz I'm like that maybe they just probably existed in their own plane without even checking in or maybe he just didn't think it'd be an issue. >> Or you know, some people have the mindset that podcasting is like super easy. And yeah, for sure it is, but

12:40 there's also consequences to you having a public figure husband and you saying some pretty inflammatory personal >> that level? And no matter what, I know it's she's a lady and they get judged harder, you know what I mean? Like 10 times harder than guys do. So it's like you're putting yourself on a platter for a guy is like Myron or whatever the red pill people are doing. >> guys. It's waiting 6 months when their book comes out and it's like the number one seller. They can ride with it though. Guys generally don't end up respecting a guy whose wife doesn't respect him, right? >> Oh, for sure. And I think that's what it comes off sometimes. >> Like now you can't really respect him cuz you know that his wife is probably just doing whatever When you get all these YouTube channels just waiting for the next news for to drop so they could like they could super cut like footage of them getting engaged and they can see, "Oh, look at them not kissing each other. Like that level is it like I I

13:31 couldn't imagine how a relationship survives that. >> Yeah. Just the level of mind games for each of them. >> trips me out like how freely she was willing to talk when what they had was so big. >> I really feel bad for him. I feel that's a terrible spot to be bro. >> It sucks cuz like even if your wife had a normal job at the bank, you already know how to act >> Yeah. to not ████ her job up. >> For real. You know, it just seems so stupid to me.
