Andrew Schulz
What's up, everybody, and welcome to Flagrance. We're back. We did it. Did a little comedy festival.
Akash Singh
Salt peace in the Middle East. I don't think it's a coincidence. Comedians had to go out there, we.
Mark Yagnon
Had to get it done.
Andrew Schulz
Give all the credit to Trump or.
Akash Singh
Wyckoff or Kushner or whatever the you want. We went out there, we negotiated with Hamas, got the deal done, simple as that.
Derek Gaines
Light work.
Andrew Schulz
Light work.
Akash Singh
And did a little stand up while we're there. I got to do some chuckles if.
Andrew Schulz
We'Re going to negotiate, you know, we got to do a couple chuckles, you.
Akash Singh
Know, shout out to flagrant, bro, we got the best fans in the world. Our fans didn't give a flying that.
Andrew Schulz
We don't have to sell all these other podcasts. All these comedians crumbling, trembling. I love seeing these pussy motherf ers going on there, the little shows and saying. She's like, oh, but America is bad too. Shut up, dork.
Akash Singh
All these comedians terrified of their own audience. You can go perform for your fans wherever they are in the world. I will go perform for my fans wherever they are on the whole planet, okay? People don't decide where they're born, you idiots. Even the Middle Eastern ones, though, maybe not them. They're beneath me. But like, maybe just the white countries.
Andrew Schulz
Because that's what they're all saying, right?
Akash Singh
They're like, how dare you perform in non white countries that don't have the exact same rules as us?
Miles Gray
Because what they're saying is you're taking money from the government.
Andrew Schulz
Good.
Akash Singh
My fans get a discount.
Miles Gray
There you go.
Andrew Schulz
You're welcome. Yeah, I welcome.
Miles Gray
So you rather I charge the oppressed people full price? The people you think are oppressed full price. It's just.
Akash Singh
It's just ridiculous. It's honestly, you either have fans that have supported you, they also share your clips, they also watch your YouTube specials, they watch your Netflix specials. They do everything to give you the. The life of your dreams. Yeah, like, that's why I'm super grateful. So wherever the fuck they are in the world, I will go perform for them. I went to fucking Moscow. I went to Singapore. You can't chew bubble cum in Singapore without them being Asian about it.
Miles Gray
Thailand, if you talk about the emperor, you get thrown in jail. You don't want to do that.
Akash Singh
You gotta do that shit.
Miles Gray
Yeah, that's the fun part.
Akash Singh
That's the fun part. So, yeah, this whole backlash, it's like, you don't need to explain it by the bad things America has done. I See all these people doing his mental gymnastics because they're trying to justify. You have to justify shit. Do you have fans? There's. Go perform for them. No. Fans around the world are beneath you performing for them for things out of their control. America is unique. We are the best. We have specific rules that are different than everywhere else. There's no free speech in Canada. There's no free speech in England. They're locking up comedians over there. There are different levels to this, for sure. Obviously, I'm not, you know, ignorant to that, but, like, the reality is. Is, like, there are people there that did not decide to be born there. You don't get to decide where you're fucking born. You also don't get to decide the rules of your government when there is a monarch dictatorship. So you don't punish those people for things completely out of their control when they've helped you live your dreams. It's, like, absurd. I see people, but what did America do to the Native Americans? Whatever. It did.
Andrew Schulz
Say, today, dude, it's Columbus Day. My boy, my boy, my boy. I perform at the CH Casino. I perform at all there. I'm going there, doing jokes for them. When you cough, though. Yeah. Did you do a land acknowledgement? Come on.
Akash Singh
Of course.
Andrew Schulz
Did you do it?
Miles Gray
Hey, you better be careful with them blankets they give you. You don't want no payback.
Akash Singh
I don't sleep there. Go sleep at the Hilton.
Andrew Schulz
Bring your own blanket, yo. That's good. Yeah. The land acknowledgement shit, I think is disrespectful. I did a joke about this, but.
Akash Singh
It feels like we just rubbing it in.
Andrew Schulz
Like, when you go perform in these.
Akash Singh
Native places, especially in Canada, they're like, we'd like you to go out there and just acknowledge that this land used to be owned by the natives. And I was like, what do you want me to. You just go up there and say it used to be owned by the natives? And I'm like, my boy. It seems like we're bragging if I do this shit.
Andrew Schulz
It used to be ours, but now. Yeah, that is crazy.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, it is wild.
Akash Singh
Anyway, so what have you guys seen with the battle?
Miles Gray
Oh, buddy. I saw so many liberal white comics talking shit on us. First of all, we never been the truth to power guys. When Indian comics were getting thrown in jail, did y' all say a fucking word? Because I did.
Akash Singh
Of course not.
Miles Gray
I flew over there. I went to a fucking armed compound with a guy whose life was in danger. I did the interview. Did y' all do shit? Did y' all say anything. A fucking war broke, breaks out. I'm still there. And I'm not saying I'm a good.
Akash Singh
Person, but I'm saying, let's be honest, though.
Miles Gray
But I'm saying if I did that, I do.
Andrew Schulz
You went to Jersey. You grabbed a poon job out of a taxi. Let me ask you some questions about comedy.
Miles Gray
But Joby and Jersey, more dangerous than whatever they got.
Andrew Schulz
No disrespect to you all, but I'm.
Miles Gray
Saying, if I ain't shit, and I know I ain't shit, y' all ain't shit.
Akash Singh
Well, that's the reason why we don't have any pushback, barely any pushback, is because we've never been the virtue signaling type. We've never been the ones out here.
Andrew Schulz
Like, there are people that are getting.
Akash Singh
Pushback, and, like, based on some shit that they had said in the past, I kind of get it. Like, I'll be honest. I kind of get it. You know?
Andrew Schulz
Like, bur's getting all this push back.
Akash Singh
And it's like, the first time I've seen his career, him not, like, aware of why it's happening.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Like, I saw him on Conan again. It's a clip. So I don't want to take clips out of contest, but he's like, all these people, like, sanctimonious, C. It's like, bro, you did say that Beyonce sold out for blood money.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
For going to, like, an oil state.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And then you went to an oil state. So like, now the criticism for that comes from other things. They're just using this as a tool of leverage against him because they're upset at him for other things, but they're not wrong that it's hypocritical to call Beyonce one thing and then you go do the same thing.
Mark Yagnon
Also at the end of that clip, though, he goes, but if I got the offer, maybe I'd do the same thing.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly.
Akash Singh
So that's what they cut it out like.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, really?
Mark Yagnon
Yeah. I'm almost positive that's the clip I heard at the very end. He's like, yeah, but who knows? If they gave me that, we'll see.
Akash Singh
What?
Andrew Schulz
What the fuck?
Akash Singh
That's the thing. It's like, leave him alone.
Miles Gray
Here's the thing that he has to kind of acknowledge, though, even beyond that, is all the shit talk about billionaires and how they shouldn't exist.
Akash Singh
Well, that's the virtue signal thing. Yeah, But Bill is so fucking rich. Who else is he going to rally against? It's like, once you become worth 50 million. The only people you could call assholes are billionaires.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean?
Akash Singh
He's like, riched himself out of people to complain about.
Miles Gray
There's always your wife.
Andrew Schulz
I've learned that. I've learned that. It's a deep well, because no matter.
Mark Yagnon
How rich you get, she's still a little richer.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, she got no more. I'm poor. I'm tash poor.
Derek Gaines
He can't talk shit about a black woman, though, so.
Andrew Schulz
So you got to talk shit about. Every time you talk about Bezos, you know, he's really talking about.
Mark Yagnon
I mean, you say you perform for your fans. Would you go to North Korea?
Akash Singh
Hell, yeah. If I have fans there, I go there.
Andrew Schulz
You do now, bro.
Akash Singh
I thought about going before.
Mark Yagnon
Before what?
Akash Singh
Like, before this festival. I thought about it because I would watch those Vice documentaries where they went. And this is before I had, like, a family and shit. And I was like, wow, it would be really cool to see. Like, what is it over there? Is it all complete propagandized? Like, who is telling me the truth?
Miles Gray
So if you think you get back safely, you would go anywhere.
Akash Singh
Anywhere.
Andrew Schulz
And I knew that we were.
Miles Gray
You did Russia, to be fair to you.
Akash Singh
Yeah, exactly. And did jokes about Putin. But it's like.
Miles Gray
And we did 9, 11 jokes in Saudi.
Akash Singh
That's the thing. It's like, I'm going to put out my, like, set from Saudi. Like, at least part of my set from Saudi. And then just to show you that, like, any rule on the list? Yeah, it's a little wild.
Andrew Schulz
It's fun, but it's fun.
Akash Singh
It's like, nobody cares. That's the thing. It's like this. This, like, oh, they give you rules or what you can or can't say. Like, I've never once looked at those ever. Like, Dove tells me, he goes, oh.
Miles Gray
I didn't look at it.
Akash Singh
When we went to the UAE for the first time, we went to Abu Dhabi, they probably had some shit. And I was like, I'm not even gonna look at it. I'm just gonna do whatever the fuck I want. But we've been to the Middle east and we've done the shows there, so we knew that it was gonna be completely fine. They're comedians. That one had never performed in the Middle East. So they probably had their preconceived notions about these audiences. They don't realize that they're all educated in the fucking States. They go to Tennessee State University, not just Harvard. Like, they go to, like, real rural America. They Know all of our content. They don't have, like, these huge entertainment complexes out there. They're not making a lot of their own shows. So they're all.
Miles Gray
A guy went to UT the same time as my cousin.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Miles Gray
It was crazy.
Akash Singh
Exactly. I mean, didn't bin Laden, you know.
Mark Yagnon
He spent some time in London, I think.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
He's hanging. I work for the CIA or some shit.
Miles Gray
He's still got a lot of family in Mayfair.
Andrew Schulz
So, like, it was.
Akash Singh
I just knew it wasn't going to be any different than when we did the shows in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. I knew this dude.
Miles Gray
People came up to me like, you know, you can't talk about X, Y and Z. And I was like, I haven't even.
Mark Yagnon
Looked at this list.
Akash Singh
You can say, we can't, but we're gonna.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And then you just deal with the repercussions that. Which are nothing. It's nothing ever.
Miles Gray
Yeah, but our jokes.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, what it is, it's people.
Akash Singh
Covering their asses there. It's just like. It's like when you're, like, dealing with, like, a marketing campaign, you know, like, let's say we have an advertisement for, like, a product on the show, the marketing people come and be like, hey, could you not use curse words? Do whatever. And then we go, just fucking let us do it the way we do it. And then the ad will go viral. And then the people from the company tell the marketing people, they go, oh, my God, that was amazing. Keep letting them do their own thing. Yeah, but everybody's just trying to cover their own ass. Simple as that. So it was just. But seeing people, seeing these comedians fucking tremble, it's like, there is nothing worse than being an independent content creator. You go about it, you invest all your time into your own thing so you can say your own shit. And then being imprisoned by your own audience. Yeah. Like, I see these people imprisoned by their own audience. Terrified, you know, like, that they're being canceled by the people that they create content for. Just go work for cbs.
Andrew Schulz
Go work at Comedy Central.
Akash Singh
Like, if you're going to censor yourself, because out of fear from your own audience, like one. Does your audience even know you, or did you glom on to an identity that they already had? And they're just there because you guys both agree, like, we've been building this shit for fucking a decade. Almost like these people know who we are.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
That's why there's no backlash from us.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Because they actually know who we are. And we have what I think is not virtuous, but, like kind of thoughtful, fun takes. Everybody gets these fucking jokes. And everybody doesn't just mean white countries that America gets along with.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, Well, I think to that point, a lot of our audience is like either immigrants or kids of immigrants. And I think they're kind of like at least traveled in the sense that they know kind of how the rest.
Akash Singh
Of the world works. Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
So when they hear about like, oh, a thing going on in a different country, they're like, oh, yeah, I kind of understand the kind of like the.
Miles Gray
Local politics of how that's the thing. When these fucking comics are like trying to be self aware. When they're shitting on us, they're like, just for the record, we didn't get an invite to the rail.
Andrew Schulz
We know you didn't.
Akash Singh
You can't perform outside of Brooklyn.
Miles Gray
Exactly.
Andrew Schulz
You do musical theater crowd work.
Miles Gray
Yeah, exactly.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean? Your comedy isn't good. Why would they want you?
Miles Gray
Look at that audience of yours. I bet I can count the minorities on one hand.
Akash Singh
What a sacrifice to not go to the festival you weren't invited to.
Miles Gray
Yeah. They don't know you exist. It's not because you're a problem. It's not because you speak truth to power. It's because you speak truth to upper middle class white people and 10 minorities who want to fuck upper middle class white people.
Akash Singh
Just pat yourselves on the back. Yeah, that's it. Go to a Mark Maron show.
Miles Gray
Count the minorities.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Miles Gray
Doubt you get. I doubt you get to the second hand.
Akash Singh
Yeah, where are those minorities he cares so much about?
Mark Yagnon
The feedback I've gotten is very funny though, because I was reading on Twitter and it was like, man, why are these guys going, man? Don't they have enough money? And then someone commented, they're like, yeah, Akash. And Mark went too. And then the reply was, well, for Mark, it's probably life changing.
Andrew Schulz
The. For him, I get it. Let me. What do you mean? Let me also dispel some shit about the money, because this is like, people.
Akash Singh
Assume it's like Ronaldo Bags.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, we're clowns at the end of the day. We're not getting no fucking Renaldo money.
Akash Singh
The reality is the money. And I can't speak for like the medium tier, maybe the lower tier comedians on the festival. I don't know what they're making every weekend and I don't know what they got at the festival, but like the top tier got the same amount outside of Chappelle, you know, but the top tier got the same amount. And, like, if you're doing arenas in America, it takes you four days to do one show in Saudi. You have to fly for a whole day. You fly back for a whole day. Maybe you want to, like, get acclimated and know the culture. So bare minimum, it's three days, but probably four. If you do four shows in America, you'll make the same amount of money if you're the top tier, so you're not doing it for the money.
Miles Gray
Oh, what happened to four? I thought you'd do 40 shows in America.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, I thought it was 40 shows.
Akash Singh
Well, that's a different tier. Different tier. Comedian. There's a lot of funny bones on that line.
Mark Yagnon
Not there's anything wrong with them. I'll be there soon. I'll be the.
Andrew Schulz
That was the dumbest shit, dude.
Akash Singh
That was the dumbest shit. Like, people, like, when the Mesh agreed and then tried to, like, walk it back, like, then I really thought about it. It had nothing to do with the Internet backlash.
Andrew Schulz
Shut the fuck up.
Akash Singh
You were worried about getting censored by your own audience. And what is the point? It's like, you talk about the censorship of the people over there.
Andrew Schulz
You're getting censored at home. You can't have an opinion as yours. You can't perform for your fans.
Akash Singh
There are people there who want to see you that like your material, but your own fans are censoring you. So you're like, I can't perform with her because of the censorship.
Miles Gray
The censorship, 1000%. My set in Saudi was harder than any set I've been doing in America in this tour. Not even a question. I went harder there.
Mark Yagnon
That's true.
Akash Singh
And then they r ped you repeatedly.
Andrew Schulz
They said, put your hands in the sand. Put your hands in the sand.
Miles Gray
All right, fair enough.
Andrew Schulz
Fair enough.
Miles Gray
I was going to make an India joke, but I was like, maybe this ain't the time.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, we're coming to India.
Akash Singh
We're coming to every single country, man, that has fans that support us. Simple as that. And all these comedians right now, they're, like, drawing lines in the sand. Just keep in mind, like, you put it in the sand with your fingers.
Mark Yagnon
Lines in the city.
Andrew Schulz
But, like, now, let's just.
Akash Singh
Just keep in mind, like, you. You said it now. And eventually you're going to do some movie that's backed by Qatar, backed by Saudi or whatever it is, and then it's going to come out, and we're going to see if you pull out of your movie. You know, when. When David Cross does Chipmunks three.
Miles Gray
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean.
Miles Gray
The guy who started this whole thing got a TV show on Apple. Plus the fucking sweatshop kings, the cobalt mines, the worst slavery conditions in human history, including us. And you're going to.
Andrew Schulz
Do we just go to the good slave parts? What are you talking about?
Akash Singh
Air conditioning.
Andrew Schulz
Good slave part.
Akash Singh
Shifty walked out.
Andrew Schulz
He's like, I had enough of this. I'm getting a new job.
Miles Gray
I didn't see the Indian slaves. Everybody kept talking about. They probably had him hidden, bro. But that's how little Indian comic talking about Indian slavery been to India.
Akash Singh
That's India.
Andrew Schulz
Got.
Miles Gray
They're not slaves, but they're not not slaves.
Akash Singh
None of these people travel. None of these people actually know the world. They.
Andrew Schulz
They know.
Akash Singh
They think they're educated because they go to, like, other Western countries, if they travel at all. It's like, you're not really getting a different culture. We live in a kind of like, Western monoculture where, like, yeah, you go to France and it's fun and it's nice and the food is amazing and don't get me wrong, it's great. The buildings are cool, all that kind of stuff. But, like, it's not that dissimilar from America. If you actually want to travel and experience different things, you're going to experience some shit that you might not agree with.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
That's the reality of the matter. And the world is complex, and you're going to deal with those complexities. But those fans of yours that did not decide to be born there, that do not have a say in the laws of their country, they're still your fans. They still really like you and they still allow you to live your fucking dream. Like, you get to be a comedian for a fucking living. And then you just putting your foot down, not because of what's going on over there, but because you're worried your own fans will cancel you. That's the softest, most fucking pussy coward shit I've ever seen.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Miles Gray
And we got. Like you said, you said we got the greatest fans in the world. They've been with us through so much shit.
Akash Singh
Yeah. They also exhausted from cancellation.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Come on.
Miles Gray
This is what you're throwing at them?
Akash Singh
Yeah. No, no, we're good. We.
Derek Gaines
It's so funny how different our timelines are because not a single person gave.
Andrew Schulz
A fuck about the person. Like, the only shit I heard was.
Derek Gaines
Like, yo, how's the food? And how the bitches.
Andrew Schulz
But the ones you can see.
Lan
Beautiful.
Andrew Schulz
That Is that is, though I will.
Akash Singh
Say that is something that they're going to have to deal with. Like, when you come off the plane and the first girl you see is Mark called her a mailbox.
Andrew Schulz
Like, allegedly. Allegedly. That shit was fire. Put his passport.
Akash Singh
You know, he thought he was trying to.
Andrew Schulz
Confusing.
Akash Singh
That's. That's not my.
Andrew Schulz
No, but that. That, bro, we. That. I'll be like, for Westerners, man. I can always be for myself, but.
Akash Singh
I'll speak for everyone.
Andrew Schulz
That shit's a lot, bro.
Miles Gray
It was jarring.
Akash Singh
The hijabis, the ones where they're just faces, cover here. That's kind of.
Andrew Schulz
Kind of cute.
Akash Singh
I think it's kind of cute.
Mark Yagnon
Like.
Akash Singh
I think it's kind of fire. It's like, kind of like. Yeah, there's something really nice about it. But the cob, the niqab dash shit, that gotta go. You gotta bring some Jack Daniels. And then you guys are ready.
Mark Yagnon
We're trying to be very delicate. We were talking one of the guys out there. We're like, yeah, so, like, what's up with, like, the women? Like, in the niqab. Like, in the.
Akash Singh
And he goes, oh, the ninjas.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. They'd be making fun of them, too. Like, hold on, you can't call that.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
He's like, yeah, so we call him ninjas.
Miles Gray
I was like, you ever been on dates with him? He's like, no, I'd hate the jobs. I don't date the ninjas.
Andrew Schulz
No, but Mark.
Akash Singh
Mark was talking to a comic that was a ninja, and she had a really interesting perspective. Can you share what she was saying?
Mark Yagnon
Oh, yeah. She was like. I was. I was. She was like. I didn't wear gr.
Akash Singh
Growing up.
Mark Yagnon
I didn't.
Akash Singh
Like, I thought I was gonna be.
Mark Yagnon
One of the girls that would just, like, keep my hair out. Lived in Jeddah, very progressive. And then I went to college, wore it in college. And then I was treated so well that I just decided to wear it all the time. She was like, I go to the grocery store, people let me skip in line. Like, they accommodate me. People help me with stuff. She's like, I get treated like a princess.
Miles Gray
It's nice to get treated inferior. Poor girl, she's exhausted.
Andrew Schulz
You gotta let on the front of the line sexism. She's like.
Mark Yagnon
She's exalted, dude. She's like. They call her Shake. Literally, like, princess like Shake. It's like. She's like, yeah, I get treated so well.
Akash Singh
See how nice men will treat women when we can assume you're hot?
Andrew Schulz
Like, if. If we see you're ugly, then of.
Akash Singh
Course you're not getting good treatment. But if you got the nakaba, and we're like, oh, she hiding something.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. You know when a girl got, like.
Akash Singh
A sweatshirt on, you could see some, like, titty underneath, but you don't know that's the niqab for your face.
Andrew Schulz
But they gotta do something.
Derek Gaines
I was starting to be able to tell which one's.
Miles Gray
We cracked the code a little bit. You can just tell.
Akash Singh
That is crazy.
Derek Gaines
You could tell just by that. You could tell.
Akash Singh
So I was staring when shorty was eating. I saw Shorty eating pasta with that.
Andrew Schulz
She was a fool going underneath. I felt bad, but, like, how am.
Akash Singh
I not gonna watch a ghost eat, bro?
Mark Yagnon
I try to be slick. At the airport, this girl was open us full in the cob. And I saw she had her photo ID on her, like, on a lanyard. Oh, that. And I was like, oh, let me take a little peek. So I look down, just a heart over her face on the lanyard.
Andrew Schulz
I was like, damn it. We were looking at everything.
Akash Singh
We were looking at this guy's dating app. He got hinged out there or whatever like that. Definitely not ours. A guy. And. And I was like, bro, I gotta see. Because it's just like, how do you see the girls? Or whatever. And, like, I would say 50% are covered in some way. Like, they put the phone in front of their face for the picture, etc. So dating out there is very brave, you could say.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Like, you know, it's like catfish.
Miles Gray
Choose your own adventure.
Mark Yagnon
Kind of.
Akash Singh
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Miles Gray
It's a mystery box.
Akash Singh
And you can't get drunk enough to the ugly ones.
Mark Yagnon
Oh, damn.
Andrew Schulz
That's a good point. That's a good point.
Mark Yagnon
That's an honest read.
Andrew Schulz
They uggs sober. No, they don't, though.
Mark Yagnon
You know what I mean?
Akash Singh
They do now. There's like a sexual revolution going on over there.
Derek Gaines
Really?
Akash Singh
Yeah. This guy was telling me, like, now that shit is opening up up. What they'll do is they'll, like, meet chicks, they'll Airbnb and then they go smash. Because what they would all do is they would go to London. The. Because, like, they. You basically, like, everybody leaves and nobody's looking, and then they just each other in London. Then they come back and then pretend that they weren't.
Derek Gaines
But they're only doing, like, anal and blow jobs and.
Miles Gray
Right, Catholics, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Derek Gaines
Nah, but I thought they. The husband wants to make sure that the hymen's still in.
Akash Singh
Nobody Tested. It doesn't catch up, bro.
Miles Gray
Yeah, dude, come on, what are you talking about?
Derek Gaines
Whatever.
Akash Singh
I don't even know what a hymen is.
Derek Gaines
I broke a few.
Akash Singh
Have you broken Hyman? Really? What's the feeling?
Miles Gray
My wife's is still pristine.
Andrew Schulz
I bet that is flawless. Mint condition Michael Jordan rookie card, no creases, dead stock. Dead stock. You need to get that out of there. You need to put the extend over.
Derek Gaines
Oh, that's funny.
Miles Gray
You broken a few hymens.
Andrew Schulz
I probably even sprained one.
Miles Gray
Guys, show dates. Can you believe we finally got a teleprompter Right now, guys, I got a huge announcement. I'm so excited. Chicago theater.
Lan
Don't buy tissues.
Miles Gray
One of my favorite cities in the country, one of my favorite venues. I truly. This is a dream come true. You walk by that theater anytime you go to Chicago, I'm there. April 24th. Get your tickets. Presale is live now. Code is Akash. Stroke that shit, boy. Stroke that shit.
Akash Singh
I don't like it too.
Miles Gray

Akash Singh
What's up, people?
Mark Yagnon
Mark Yagnon here sitting with my two bodyguards, my two Samoan bodies, guards, some of the toughest in the game. All right. And they're coming with me on the road. All right. Not Akash, just, just sudeep. We're going to Mary Lou, New York City. We're doing our monthly show on October 21st. It's got all the best comics in the city. Come on out.

I'll see you guys at the show. Don't heckle or Sudeep's gonna fucking smash you. All right, see you guys there.
Andrew Schulz
Peace. What else are people saying, bro? What some.
Miles Gray
Hey, let's dispel some rumors. First of all, they think women can't drive. Women can drive. One of them crashing our car.
Andrew Schulz
This is so funny. This is some real though. This is some real.
Akash Singh
Like so now the women are driving. They, they give all the women Chinese cars because they're the cheapest car and they assume that they're going to get into an accident.
Andrew Schulz
So you see Chinese cars on the road.
Akash Singh
That's women driving.
Mark Yagnon
That's how it is here. Also, you see Chinese person. Never mind.
Akash Singh
Mark, what are you doing right now? Mark, what you need to do is.
Andrew Schulz
Put your foot down. Mark, what you need to do is you need to put flip out on that joke. I needed to be more outwardly racist.
Akash Singh
To make that work.
Andrew Schulz
I thought they were going to give.
Akash Singh
All the women Teslas because it drives.
Andrew Schulz
Itself that be lit.
Miles Gray
That me lit.
Akash Singh
Smart. Anyway.
Andrew Schulz
Damn.
Akash Singh
Mark rubbed off on me.
Mark Yagnon
I.
Andrew Schulz
What? Dude, you got to put your foot on. You should have put your foot down. Mark's bomb rubbed off. Don't put. Don't do that. You should have put your foot down.
Mark Yagnon
On it like an Asian in traffic.
Andrew Schulz
Try to put that off, Mark.
Miles Gray
Again, guys, we can't blame bombing residue. And if it was, it's probably from Saudi.
Akash Singh
Damn.
Andrew Schulz
Wow, it was a long setup. All right, I'm coming, I'm coming. Stay. How about them Jews? We're back. We're back. We're back. I'm about to. That's it, man. I don't know how. There was a couple of princes that came to the show afterwards, bro.
Akash Singh
And we were taking a pic, and we were, like, had some of the producers of the festival, I guess, in the pic, and they got out of the pic for the princess. Yeah, right. Like, and I didn't. I just assumed it was, like, they didn't want to take a picture with Jews or something like that. In reality, they just wanted to take a picture with us that performed. But my first one was like, oh, yeah, they can't be in a picture with them.
Derek Gaines
That's like.
Akash Singh
That's a diplomatic relationship.
Andrew Schulz
Turned out one of them wasn't even Jewish. Oh, fuck.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Anyway, so, yeah, so what other.
Akash Singh
Any other backlash before we put this shit to bed? Everybody fake caring about it.
Andrew Schulz
I will say this, though.
Akash Singh
Like, I feel bad for Jessica Kierson. Yeah, I feel bad for Jessica. Cause, like, Jessica went there. Jessica's a gay woman. Yeah, Jewish. Jewish sister of a comedian. Performed Hilarious. So fucking funny.
Miles Gray
Performed.
Akash Singh
Apparently. Crushed. Yeah. Standing ovation. Like, what? And, like, edgy and, like, did her thing. And then there was a lot of backlash and a lot. We don't know what is a lot. Like, the Internet, it all feels hot when you're in it. And so what she did, she, like, donated the money that she made to a charity or something like that, which, like, that sucks that she had to do that. You know what I mean? Like, she did something that you could actually look at as, like, super progressive and, you know, is moving things forward in a place that maybe isn't where we want it 1000% does that exactly now. And then she's the one that actually gets punished for it. Yeah. Which sucks. Now what I will say, though, is.
Derek Gaines
How'D she get punished?
Akash Singh
Say again?
Derek Gaines
How'd she get punished?
Akash Singh
She got to give up the money.
Derek Gaines
She don't have to.
Akash Singh
Well, she did give up the money.
Andrew Schulz
That karma, she gained good karma for it.
Derek Gaines
Good thing. Two good things came about it.
Akash Singh
Keep that, man. Keep that.
Miles Gray
Who does she donate to? That's important because it's got to be a charity that's worthwhile. Human rights campaign.
Akash Singh
And then apparently the human rights charity refused the money because it came from Saudi or something like that. It's like, yo, you want to fix it or not?
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean? Like, what are we doing here? Like, some money's dirty.
Akash Singh
Get out of here. So. But I think what's happened with a lot of a lot of these communities is, like, there are a lot of comedians that it. Especially in, like, the Jessica's world, where, like, Jessica was doing comedy for probably, like 20 years, and everybody always the.
Miles Gray
Funniest comic you hadn't heard of, Always.
Akash Singh
The funniest comic you ever. She's, like, so hilarious. Everybody thinks she's hilarious. And then recently, like, posting clips and like, posting stuff on YouTube has. She's been able to amass an audience. So for the first time in her career, she gets to, like, perform and do theaters and make money, and she's still at that level where she's like their unsung hero. So it's like the most euphoric time in comedy where, like, you're the next thing and everybody is riding for you and you are everybody's best kept secret. And it's just incredible. And there's no backlash because you haven't, like, transcended into the pop culture conversation. And when you do transcend into the pop culture conversation, you know, you're part of every headline and people can use you for clicks and views. They throw you for every thumbnail, like they do with us. And like, if it, there's benefits of it because you can make tons of money, you can go perform in arenas, you can do everything you ever dreamed of. But there are costs to it, and that just is what it is. Once you enter that level, you're aware of the social media economy, you're aware that, like, there's backlash for something for two Weeks. Then people are fake angry about another thing, and then they're fake angry about another thing and they just move on. But if you've never experienced that at all, which I think a lot of the comics on this never experience, like the Internet coming from them, for them, I think that knee jerk reaction was, oh, my God, I gotta fix this or else my whole career, everything I worked for for the past 20 years is gonna go away. And had they been through some backlashes in their life, they probably would have been like, ah, this shit is gonna blow over. Nobody's gonna give a fuck in two weeks. Which they won't.
Miles Gray
Yeah, I think it's already kind of blown over.
Andrew Schulz
Right.
Akash Singh
That's the thing. It's like, that's the best Chris Rock quote.
Mark Yagnon
He's like, if you're ever in, like, public scrutiny, put your head down for two weeks.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
And if there's still something going on, then. Then address it.
Akash Singh
Then address it. Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
I think that's a good rule of thumb. If people are mad at you, just.
Miles Gray
Give it two weeks.
Akash Singh
Weeks. Just give it two weeks.
Miles Gray
Man, this feels like a long two weeks. It's a long two weeks.
Akash Singh
I will say, though, this is like, if there's any, like, the backlash to. This isn't about the country of. Of Saudi Arabia. Yeah. It's attached to it. But I think that, like, the personal accountability we can have is like, when we had politicians on the pod, we thrust ourselves into the political discourse. And the political discourse is zero sum game.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Miles Gray
This is nasty.
Akash Singh
It's nasty. It is about power. And when power is involved, it's either good or evil. And any possibility you have, any situation where you can mudsling against your perceived opposition, you take advantage of it. So us thrusting ourselves into the political conversation and a lot of these comics being, like, tangentially related to comedy and podcasting. Comedy and podcasting kind of like became one thing. They saw an opportunity to point out hypocrisy in this moment right here. And that's something we could take accountability for. That's something we gotta go, okay, if we have politicians on the pod, we have to know that there are people who. Their entire identity is politics. And any moment they can to point a finger and to mudsling and to dehumanize, they will take advantage of that. So I feel like that's on us for that. Yeah. But in terms of people actually caring about this, they don't. They just care about whatever they already were feeling they were already frustrated by and just using this. And then.
Miles Gray
Yeah. We were easy to blame for Trump's election or whatever upset you. And even if we might have swung some people that like, a lot of people like that. No, those guys. That. He wouldn't have won if it wasn't for those guys.
Akash Singh
Now, I will say, that being said, we've received almost no criticism. Bad Friends is in shambles.
Andrew Schulz
That comment section is crazy. You know what I mean? Like, all Bobby did is went there and showed his dick.
Akash Singh
Dick. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
He did an accent, and then they came back. It's not that crazy.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, it's pretty.
Andrew Schulz
Show your dick, Santino. Do the accent, and then you come home.
Akash Singh
It is what it is.
Miles Gray
That's so funny, dude. Yeah. Well, look, we got the best fans. We have the best fans on Earth, and we'll perform for you wherever.
Akash Singh
Wherever the you are.
Mark Yagnon
The amount of people that just DM me afterwards, like, dude, thanks so much for giving us a chance.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Mark Yagnon
Like, that was awesome.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
Like, from Saudi being, like. Like, I've waited my whole life to come see you guys. Like, I want to come to New York. I couldn't make. Got to actually see you in my own. My own city.
Derek Gaines
Blew my mind. That was the best part, like, hearing from the people there and how thankful they are just to be able to see these performances. Like, that's what they were.
Miles Gray
They weren't all princes and government people, like locals. And talking to locals. They seem pretty happy in terms of, like, the way things have progressed in the past 10 years. They're like, 10 years ago, this was not good. Not good. Now things are great. I thought it was fire. I thought Riyadh was awesome. I thought it was better than Dubai. That was a great city. I might take wifey next month. We're going to Dubai, but I might stop over Riyadh.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Derek Gaines
Yeah. It was my first time in both places. I don't really care for Dubai that much, so.
Akash Singh
Yeah, Dubai is like. What I was. What I was saying was shout out. Everybody came out to the shows. The show in Dubai as well.
Derek Gaines
The people are cool, the locals, but there's not many locals.
Andrew Schulz
They.
Akash Singh
Yeah, the locals, like, in UA. I think the local population's, like, 10%.
Derek Gaines
Oh.
Akash Singh
So it's a lot of expats, like, by design. And then Dubai is this very futuristic city that doesn't feel like it has this, like, real, like, historic, authentic core.
Miles Gray
No, it feels like you're in Miami or Las Vegas or Singapore. You'd be anywhere.
Akash Singh
You go to Abu Dhabi, you feel that?
Miles Gray
I want to go there.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Abu Dhabi. You Will feel much more like the authenticity. And they're like, design the building specifically around it. Like, they want to give you that feel. And I think Dubai is like, hey, we're going to be the city of the future, and we're just going to lean into that. But what you lose is the past, which is why we travel to places. Like, I don't travel to Rome to see the new buildings.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
You know, I don't travel to Paris to see the new, you know, business center.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Like, the reason why we travel is to either avoid taxes in Dubai or to, like, see that old authentic. That is so incredible. Like, when we went to Morocco, we, like, stayed in the shook. Yeah. We could have stayed at some, like, fancy hotel outside of it.
Miles Gray
No, I love Riyadh because you're in the fancy hotel, but they make it look like. That's my.
Andrew Schulz
That's my.
Akash Singh
Like.
Miles Gray
Oh, you really got both. Both parts of the Venn diagram there.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Miles Gray
Oh, it feels authentic, but not. I go to India when I want authentic, and that's good enough. Now give me some nice shit, put me in a St. Regis and Feels.
Mark Yagnon
Like the Middle East.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
My friend who lives in Dubai is like, if you go to Dubai, you need to have a local to show.
Akash Singh
You the actual stuff. Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
It's like you come to New York and you go to Times Square, and you're like, yeah, New York kind of sucks. It's like you need an actual person. Like, show you the outer boroughs and the cool restaurants.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, it's a good.
Akash Singh
Yeah, we went to. We went to the. The old quarter or whatever it is.
Mark Yagnon
The old Dubai.
Akash Singh
The old Dubai. So, like, where the creek where, like, the city started, it was like this pearl diving. I don't want to call it. I was talking about the pearl diving.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, wow. What a beautiful history.
Akash Singh
But. But, like, so we went there, we walked around, and then you got a sense of it, at least. And, like, that was cool. That's what I was telling the guy, guys. OBZ was a comedian out there.
Andrew Schulz
He was great.
Mark Yagnon
Abs Ali, the legend.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Abs Ali was walking us around. I was like, yeah, this is what I want to see more of. Like, give us something of this. Like, I don't want to go to the fucking. The Hyatt, you know, like, and eat at a restaurant that we have back home.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I want to go here and eat some local shit.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
I mean, that flight to Riyadh is very authentic.
Akash Singh
Oh, my God. They had no AC in economy.
Andrew Schulz
I was struggling, son. Economy. Why'd you Say I was like, what.
Miles Gray
A nice flight this is.
Akash Singh
Oh, it was so relaxing.
Andrew Schulz
They walked out of there like, it was a bombshell time.
Miles Gray
I couldn't understand all the texts coming back in front of, like, what's going on?
Akash Singh
So, Mark, tell what the guy did next. The guy sitting next to you.
Mark Yagnon
Oh, dude, I'm sitting here. The guy's behind me. Just cuts in front of me. My least favorite thing on a plane. Takes his stuff out of the upper compartment. Just a plastic bag, puts it on my lap while I'm sitting. Just gets off the plane, puts it on. I was like, yo. Oh, sorry.
Andrew Schulz
I like that. I like that.
Mark Yagnon
The bag was just his clothes. That was his suitcase.
Andrew Schulz
Win Dixie bag full of big dick boo right there. So that's like, you poor like me.
Miles Gray
So they were saying there was no ac. First glass was so cold. I got a blanket.
Andrew Schulz
Freezing. I took a blanket covered up, bro. In the back. Oh, yeah, bro.
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah.
Mark Yagnon
I didn't even. I didn't even know that there was a smell until we landed.
Andrew Schulz
Y.
Mark Yagnon
When we landed, bro. Oh, hands went up.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, to get the bag. It was bad.
Miles Gray
Just us.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, technically it was you guys. No, they weren't us, dude. They were.
Akash Singh
No, no, no, no.
Miles Gray
Them guys get there by bus.
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah, dude.
Miles Gray
Fire, dude. Shouts. Shouts to the comedy festival.
Andrew Schulz
It was awesome. Yo, so, yeah, shout out Dubai, man.
Akash Singh
Shout out Riyadh. We appreciate y' all and keep doing it, man. I really think that.
Miles Gray
What a cool life.
Akash Singh
I wish the framing of this also.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know.
Akash Singh
There is a funny framing of this. We're like western people. We tend to think everything that happens in the world is. Is for us or because of us. Like, we have a very, like, almost narcissistic view of these things. Like, the immediate reaction when there's this festival is like they're trying to whitewash their country with comedy. And it's like, sure, I'm sure they're trying to welcome western people to this country 100%. But, like, there is a little bit of it that's maybe like, we like comedy.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean? We enjoy comedy. We enjoy wwe.
Akash Singh
We enjoy boxing. Like, what a nice thing to do for your people. People is to bring a thing they enjoy. And there are people that are in the west of America that could not conceive that the government or whoever is involved might be wanting to put on a show for the people. You know what I mean?
Mark Yagnon
Like, in.
Akash Singh
In New York, when we get an Afro Beats Festival or something like that, people are Going, they're trying to Africanize America.
Miles Gray
Well, I think some people do.
Andrew Schulz
This is Zoron's America. But I get.
Akash Singh
But you understand what I'm trying to. Like, like, like the people there have no interest at all and that this is only a tool of marketing and not something that they might enjoy because they consume comedy.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they loved it. It was fun.
Andrew Schulz
Awesome.
Akash Singh
Yeah, it was cool. It was very cool.
Mark Yagnon
Traveling, doing comedy with your boys.
Miles Gray
Nothing better.
Mark Yagnon
Nothing better.
Akash Singh
Yeah, it was fire.
Miles Gray
What a crazy thing. I met you. What. Whatever. 18 years ago, and then 18 years later, we're in the fucking Middle east doing a comedy show, getting standing ovations. Like, what a cool thing.
Akash Singh
Yeah. While every other comic is getting roasted. And we' Time of our Lives.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
Even Al didn't joke.
Andrew Schulz
Al did a joke. Al did a joke headline. You can't be too. You can't be too much. I'm gonna post it on the YouTube.
Derek Gaines
Great openers.
Akash Singh
Shout out to the openers.
Andrew Schulz
You gotta watch Al do this at.
Akash Singh
The end of the video. This is killing me. So after the show, we all bring. We bring Al up. You gotta do one joke, right? Cause originally when we were doing Flavor and Live, we were gonna do like a. A podcast portion at the end. Yeah. And we tried to do that in Dubai, and that was ass. That was horrible.
Derek Gaines
Also, they changed the rules on us, like, last minute.
Akash Singh
Yeah, last minute. They're like, you can't be on stage unless you have, like, permission and all this other stuff.
Miles Gray
So we're sign release forms or whatever.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
It was just too difficult because what we wanted to do is, like, bring people from the audience up and have them involved in some things that the guys were cooking up. And it was going to be very cool. So anyway, so when we go to Saudi, we're like, all right, well, we gotta find something. We'll just do stand up, and then we'll have Al come and do tour a joke. So Al comes, does a joke. Joke fucking kills.
Derek Gaines
Murdered.
Akash Singh
Al does the funniest thing at.
Andrew Schulz
Right before we leave. Right.
Akash Singh
Well, to be fair, Andy, let me.
Miles Gray
Get you out a little bit. To be fair.
Akash Singh
Well, you'll see. You'll see Al blank the joke immediately the second he went up there. But then he remembered. And so Al goes. He does a joke. We're like, thank you guys so much. Appreciate you having us. And you can hear Al.
Andrew Schulz
I watched the video of it.
Lan
Al goes.
Andrew Schulz
Al goes.
Akash Singh
That's my time.
Andrew Schulz
I've always wanted to say that. You know what? The cooler that is. Remember when I did WWE Raw? Yeah.
Akash Singh
And I just got my ass dragged in the ring and afterwards I stood on the.
Andrew Schulz
While you're there, you gotta take advantage. Exactly, bro. Al told the joke and then went, oh, yeah. Mic dropped. I did all the I wanted. I checked the box.
Miles Gray
How fire was it to get that pop, though?
Derek Gaines
Oh, it was awesome.
Miles Gray
He got a big pop.
Akash Singh
Dude.
Derek Gaines
Let's see what you got, guys. Why you guys are psycho and go out there every single night and do that. That was awesome. That was an awesome feeling. But woo.
Andrew Schulz
It's so nervous.
Akash Singh
I was cool power posing.
Andrew Schulz
All of it. I told Beautiful Fire.
Derek Gaines
Oh, damn. I forgot dude's name, but I actually got that in Dubai. It was a dude that. Yeah, a local guy.
Akash Singh
Yeah, he was like a local designer.
Andrew Schulz
Or something like that.
Derek Gaines
And he put that together for me.
Akash Singh
Get out of here.
Derek Gaines
I'll tag. I'm sorry about that. I forgot your name.
Akash Singh
That's up.
Miles Gray
St for Al.
Mark Yagnon
If you had to guess, what do.
Akash Singh
You think it was?
Miles Gray
Come on. Too many.
Andrew Schulz
All right, boys.
Akash Singh
Anyway, any other discussions about. Discussions about the fest? Saudi fest?
Miles Gray
Nah. Mark Marin.
Andrew Schulz
You ain't.
Miles Gray
That's about it.
Andrew Schulz
Jesus, I'm tired of this a lot.
Akash Singh
Not just him. A lot of these comedians ain't. Like, I've been seeing a lot of comedians, like trying to like, separate themselves from Austin lately. Have you seen this?
Miles Gray
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Akash Singh
I'm seeing a lot of these comedians, like, really trying to create distance from Austin, like what's happening in Austin. And a lot of comedians that like, used Joe and his millions of followers to boost their careers, that went on there to promote their specials, that performed at the club, like really used Joe's power and influence that he was very generous to give them. And all of a sudden there's like a little Internet backlash post election. And they're trying to blame the manosphere for the election, not the fact that they ran a dead guy and a woman that can't talk. No, it's true. And it's like. And now I see these comics like kind of vocally talking that they would talk the. All this, by the way, behind closed doors because it's what comics do, but like real like rat weasel. Because you let this guy enrich you. You let. You used him for his followers. And now you see a situation where like they're getting backlash and instead you pile on for self salvation.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Not. Not get your boys back and refute some of the rumors that exist on the Internet. Yeah, there's a lot of weasels in this business. And it's good. I like to see it. I want everybody to know because they're gonna get canceled for some shit in the future. They're gonna not live up to the purity test. And Joe is the type of guy that he would have had your back. He would have had you on the biggest platform in the world to explain yourself. He would have given you that opportunity. But now, you know, you're showing who you really are. So.
Miles Gray
You know what, though?
Akash Singh
Enjoy the bed you made.
Miles Gray
You know what, though? Joe still might. He's so nice. He still might.
Akash Singh
He don't care. He knows if people are flawed, I guess, but like, nah, that. That's a. That's my guy. I'm never gonna. No, I never. I never. I never pile on against him. That's a real right there.
Miles Gray
Also, comedy scenes are comedy scenes. Like, Brooklyn was the most annoying comedy scene.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Miles Gray
Probably still is. I don't need to perform anymore, luckily. But like, it was a worst comedy scene.
Andrew Schulz
He's right here, guys.
Miles Gray
Nice people, okay?
Derek Gaines
They like.
Miles Gray
No, they're not.
Andrew Schulz
They're not nice people. No, they're not.
Miles Gray
No, they're not nice people.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
But it's this thing that's like.
Akash Singh
Like they're going like all the comics and whatever it like, listen, the majority of comics at a comedy club suck, okay? They do. I go to the cellar, I roll my eyes at half of these motherfuckers before I gotta go on and mop up the bombs that they fucking do.
Andrew Schulz
Okay? Okay. This idea that they're all good, but what we're not.
Akash Singh
What we're not gonna do is pretend like there aren't fantastic comics there as well, okay? Shane is fantastic.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Derek Posen is fantastic. Brian Simpson is fantastic. Okay? Maybe they don't have the density that we have in New York right now, okay? But at the same time, like, to dispel the entire scene because now Joe can no longer do something for you or Tony can no longer do something for you. Because that's where it really comes down when going on, Joe Rogan made you a millionaire for six years in a row. All these comics were fucking quiet. They were complimentary. They were being so sweet because they wanted to get in. Now that going on Joe Rogan once doesn't automatically give you a career. And now that Kill Tony is focused on more like character based people. People. Now they no longer see their salvation in these two people. So now they're having these honest conversations. Oh, they're saying the R word a lot. Shut up. Retard. I'm seeing these comments, it's just so two faced snake, weasels, little rats. Yeah. And this is kind of who they are though, to be honest. Like these are the conversations they have in private and then they kind of change face. So maybe it's even better that they're finally have the balls to be authentic.
Miles Gray
I mean look, let's be honest. If you're a stand up, you have a void. There's some, something going on in here. Some of us, I hope I'm one of them, tries to work on it and still be a better person while chasing this thing. And some of them, it's just an endless void and they're just going to keep chasing and keep betraying and keep being whatever.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I just think it's so corny. You use someone to enrich yourself and the second they're going through something, you immediately abandon them and then you could say nothing. Yeah, yeah. But you have to act now. You have to say something, you have to have a word. It's like, yeah, okay, well now we know who you are. Even though we always knew. Now everybody knows who you are. And your fans probably.
Miles Gray
Now some of them I'm surprised by really. Some of them I'm like, I thought were a standup dude, man, I thought you were a standup guy and you were not.
Akash Singh
Yeah, that is the epitome of a.
Derek Gaines
What's changed?
Akash Singh
Cuz I feel like they don't see their salvation in him. Comics are loyal to their salvation.
Miles Gray
Sorry, what do you can let. What are you saying?
Derek Gaines
Like, I feel like when Rogan was in la, it was, everybody got along. It was really kumbaya in the comedy scene. Like no one really attacked other comics even if they disagreed with them. What has changed?
Akash Singh
This is my opinion, everything trickle down. Right. So it's like when the only way to make it was be on Comedy Central. All these comics that we see now were doing knock knock jokes, hoping to get a special in Comedy Central. Right. So you basically gravitate towards what your salvation is. Most people do. Most comics do. Joe Rogan was the way to make it for a very like a six or seven year stretch. It was like you went on Rogan. I saw it happen to me. Like going to Rogan, life changed immediately. Right, right. And when that was the case, all these comics were real fucking quiet. Nobody said a peep. No one said. And if they disagreed with something, they were just silent. Now going on Rogan once isn't gonna immediately change your career.
Miles Gray
Yeah, I remember you said you went from comedy clubs to theaters. I went a few years later, I went from comedy clubs to more people in a comedy club.
Andrew Schulz
Well, that's. That's more. But like.
Akash Singh
And then. And then what happened is I think a lot of comics saw, like, Kill Tony being the way to make it right? So nobody was gonna talk shit about Rogan, and nobody's gonna talk shit about Tony. And now you see Kill Tony and the people that really explode from there are like, more character based, right? So then comics go, okay, well, I can't make it immediately off of Rogan. I can't make it immediately off Tony. I guess I'll sandbag these while, you know, the Internet is coming after them. I think that's what it is. I think it's purely, where is my salvation? And now they see their salvation as like, oh, I'm gonna separate myself from the manosphere. Because there's so much criticism on the Internet. It's like, no, that's the time where you should lean into the people who help helped you. That's the time where you should be a good, solid friend. That's time where you should refute fake narratives about someone who helped you when you offered nothing to him. All these people that went on Rogan, they offered nothing to Rogan. He literally gave them a platform, and the biggest platform on the planet. Millions of people that can go come out to your shows. You made millions of dollars off this guy, and now you're going to fucking sandbag him? Let other people come on your show to fucking talk shit about him? That is the. Yeah, you don't want that motherfucker in a foxhole, put it that way. You know, and people know that. People know that at their core. Like, your fans might support you right now, but they know you're a rat. And, you know, and your time is going to come, and then nobody's going to be there to help you.
Mark Yagnon
This is how you describe comedy before Rogan, like, when you were coming up, like, he would always talk about, like, dude, like, these comics are just so selfish. Da, da, da. And I was like, come on, it's not.
Andrew Schulz
They're not that bad.
Akash Singh
You know, Rogan organized the whole. He was benevolent.
Andrew Schulz
He.
Akash Singh
He helped. So everybody else was like, maybe that's the way to do it. We should all help. And the second they stop seeing him as the one and only salvation for their career, they're like, oh, okay, we can go back to just shitting on everybody mercilessly. And now you see all these little fractures and everybody ripping People in different ways. And then comedians having other comedians on their podcast and then forgetting how to riff.
Miles Gray
Oh, that drove me crazy.
Akash Singh
It's like, oh, all of a sudden I don't know how to riff.
Miles Gray
Now your premise is offensive to me.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, my God.
Akash Singh
You used to be on a podcast that was like, known for riffing about the most fucked up shit.
Miles Gray
Yup.
Akash Singh
And now all of a sudden it' oh, I don't know how to do comedy. That's a bad word.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
What.
Miles Gray
What are you saying? I don't understand what you're. So here's what you're trying to say. No, what I'm trying to say is a joke. Let me say the crazy thing and then let me land.
Derek Gaines
All right, it's funny.
Akash Singh
New white comics is acting like black comics is crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Cat Williams calls his own Shake Shake starts on. And then the whole ecosystem fell apart.
Miles Gray
You know what I also think, though, cuz they used to be la, New York comedy thing. Like New York comics shit on L. A. Yeah, that was it. And LA was kind of jealous. Whatever. Now there's a third scene that they can both just hate. So they're all like, oh, you know what? Fuck in LA is like, the heat's not on us for being dog shit comics. Fuck those guys. They're hateful. All right, buddy, keep moving your hands like that. You know what I mean? Go ahead. You suck too. Don't think that you stayed in LA and didn't go to Austin. Somehow you're a better comic. You still do this.
Akash Singh
You suck.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, that's. You're making balloon animals. What is this comedy? What you mean?
Miles Gray
Come on, stay quiet for a bit. Yeah, now I'm done. Mark Marin, come on this pod let me chop you up.
Akash Singh
You asked. You asked him to come on, but he would never. Come on.
Miles Gray
No, I asked him nicely. Now come on. I'll chop you up like you Jamal Khashoggi.
Andrew Schulz
Come on, bro. Come to the embassy. Yeah, come to the embassy. Mark, you're not even done.
Miles Gray
If you're intimidated by it, don't worry, I got you.
Derek Gaines
That is.
Andrew Schulz
Or.
Miles Gray
I know you're probably not used to talking to people of color at your shows, but just come talk to one.
Akash Singh
And then we'll handle Mark Marin acting like he didn't also have a president on his podcast.
Miles Gray
Oh, but I'm sure he asked him.
Andrew Schulz
All about the mass deportations.
Miles Gray
I'm sure he asked him about drone strikes.
Andrew Schulz
I'm sure he asked him all the.
Miles Gray
All the tough questions.
Andrew Schulz
The. Out of here.
Mark Yagnon
I Think you just had him back on.
Andrew Schulz
You did the same thing.
Miles Gray
Did he really?
Mark Yagnon
I think so. Can you. He just had Obama on, like, a few.
Akash Singh
He did the same thing, bro.
Andrew Schulz
You did the same exact thing.
Miles Gray
We might also need to fact check this, but I. I've heard Mark Maron hasn't had a single trans person on his podcast.
Akash Singh
Oh, my God, those people.
Miles Gray
He cares so deep decade you've been doing this pod.
Akash Singh
Marin don't care about nobody but himself. And anybody inside comedy knows this. It's the people outside of comedy. They're, like, unaware of it. Yeah, but like, we just.
Andrew Schulz
With Jon Stewart.
Miles Gray
Oh, yeah. Well, they had. Now let's have fun. So let's have fun while we're talking shit. Because he been going on every pod talking shit. Jon Stewart and Marc Maron in New York decades ago were like, comedy purists. Hated all kinds of shit. Like, they were like, we love stand up. We love this. John Stewart gets a job with MTV hosting a show. Marc Maron is like, fuck you. Like, to his face. How fucking dare you take that, you fucking sellout. You fucking chill. Fuck you. Makes John feel so bad about. It affects their relationship. Relationship. John ends up leaving the show for whatever reason. I don't remember if it was a moral thing or he had no moral.
Akash Singh
I think then he get the opportunity to do, like, got a better opportunity.
Miles Gray
Guess who takes over that show?
Akash Singh
No.
Miles Gray
Mark fucking Merritt.
Akash Singh
Not Mark the principled.
Miles Gray
Oh, Mark the principled guy. And then he tried to act like nothing happened with John. John was like, no, no, no. You. Fuck you. You don't get to be my friend after that.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Miles Gray
Fuck you. Then decades later, they try to chop it up or they try to patch it up. And John is like. Mark is like, hey, I would love for you to come on the podcast and talk about this. John is like, look this at. If you want to mend the friendship, I'm open to it, but I'm not doing it to give you podcast stuff. Like, let's just talk in person and we'll have it out. Marc Maron never contacts him again.
Akash Singh
Exactly.
Miles Gray
Because it ain't content.
Akash Singh
But it's like. And I understand why outsiders wouldn't know this about him, but, like, anybody on the inside knows what's up, fellow?
Miles Gray
Noodle dicks. I'm saying fellow, because here's what I've realized as you get older, your boners aren't boners like they used to be. Some of y' all can't even get them anymore. You know what?

Andrew Schulz
Welcome back. I feel free. I feel free. We haven't had a boys up since before we went to Australia.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, it's been a minute.
Miles Gray
I haven't even talked to you. We haven't talked to the people about Australia.
Akash Singh
Yeah, Australia was fun, dude. Good quality of life. Good quality of life.
Miles Gray
Really?
Akash Singh
Yeah. Like why?
Derek Gaines
What makes it good quality?
Akash Singh
There's cheap shit to do that is really fun. Like, that they have access to the beach, the weather's amazing, and you could go to the beach. And there's nothing more luxurious than the beach, right? Like, people spend fucking hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay at nice resorts that are on beach beaches. And it's like every single day, you take your kid down to that beach, you see the most beautiful beach you've ever seen. And they're just littered with them. They're all over the place. So you can have this, like, really amazing, like, luxurious quality of life for very little. And they got all the same issues we got here in terms of, like, rent being crazy, and, like, lack of opportunity and all this other stuff. But at the end of the day, like, you know, they have. You see tons of young people with kids. You just. It was just. Is awesome.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Derek Gaines
Name some more things, because the beach is everywhere, my nigga.
Miles Gray
Like, not fucking Jones beach, bro.
Andrew Schulz
We're talking about. I mean, Florida, Cali.
Derek Gaines
We got nice beaches.
Akash Singh
No, I think. I think it's fair. It's fair. Like, for me, that's what I saw. Like, I don't get to every day, like, go down to the beach with my daughter. That was the other thing, too, which is like, I got to do a lot of family time.
Miles Gray
Oh, yeah.
Akash Singh
So, like, my schedule's like, we wake up, we have breakfast, we hang out, I go back home for bedtime.
Miles Gray
Nice thing about being a movie is you're not the travel's one place. So they come with you and then you're there.
Akash Singh
Exactly. I'm not going away every weekend or flying this. Like, it's like every day we're together, I'm reading books to my daughter, who goes to sleep every single night. And it's like. And I'm sure I'm saying this as most people listening are like, yeah, I do that with my kid all the time. I just didn't get to.
Miles Gray
And we're gone three, four days a week.
Akash Singh
So, like, it was. That was awesome. And yeah, it was just. Yeah, it was just fantastic.
Mark Yagnon
I feel like people that are not.
Akash Singh
As stressed politically, dude, they're so unaffected by anything. Like, they're so rude, removed. They're kind of like Americans, like, in that way. Like, we are really political about the shit that's happening here. I'm sure they are. But, like, we're detached from, like, what's happening in Europe. We're detached from what's happening in the Middle East. Like, it's just not. We care. But it also isn't going to affect us. They're that times 10 because there ain't even even land to walk to them. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, if you got there illegally, you.
Andrew Schulz
Work for that shit.
Akash Singh
So they're just detached from everything, kind of like living in their own little bubble. And it allows him to have a pretty, like, stress free life, you know?
Mark Yagnon
It's this guy that's paid for by the Australian government. Yeah, this guy's a shill.
Akash Singh
I'm a shill for Australia.
Mark Yagnon
This guy's a shill. Dude took that koala money, now look.
Akash Singh
At him non stop. Also, the.
Derek Gaines
The movie.
Akash Singh
The movie was. The movie was fire. The movie was like, this is going to surprise people, man.
Miles Gray
I mean, just the cast alone. I've tons of faith.
Akash Singh
Yeah, it was. But it's just like making it. This gave me faith in acting. Like, I used to never like acting. I was like, this shit is boring as hell. And shout out to the director, Katal and the producers as well, like Kale and Jay. And it was like, it was super collaborative. It was like shit would be on the page and then we would all come together and be like, okay, what can we make this? What would the character do? And a lot of times directors have these like massive egos where it's like you can't infiltrate that at all. And it's almost like you need that in order to control 275 people every single day to get what you need.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
But this was super collaborative. Like, he would let us play, give us our thoughts on what the character would do. Like, we change certain things about it. Like no ego. But he also knew where the movie was going type of thing. So like. And it was just, it was fun. Like, I would look forward to it and I never do that with acting.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Akash Singh
Like, I was like, oh, I'm excited about this scene. I'm like texting the directors and the actors about, hey, can we rehearse this? What if we did this for this scene? Like, it was, was. Yeah, it was fire.
Miles Gray
That's awesome.
Derek Gaines
How's your fighting skills? Can you.
Akash Singh
I just get my ass kicked the whole movie. That's my role. That's actually perfect.
Andrew Schulz
That's what you want?
Akash Singh
Yeah. Yeah.
Miles Gray
You beating up anybody, even though you box people be like, what the is this?
Andrew Schulz
No.
Akash Singh
And it's just. Yeah, it's. It's also like I have a different respect for like action stars.
Mark Yagnon
Ah.
Akash Singh
Like the guy Noah, who's the star of the movie, he plays Ken. Like this guy Centino, Centineo.
Miles Gray
No centine.
Akash Singh
And like, he ate literally. Literally, like, I don't know, like something. He ate steak four times a day and like four eggs every time he ate the steak. And he ate that for six months. Wow. And every single meal. And that's all he ate. And he. When he would film, he's working out the entire day to keep the pump so it looks good on camera.
Mark Yagnon
Wow.
Akash Singh
And I was like, I don't got that.
Andrew Schulz
I'm more of a rom com.
Miles Gray
I'm the fat friend in the rom com, son.
Akash Singh
I saw that. I stopped working out. I got. I got in worse shape there because I'd be in every scene with this right. And his buff, and I'd be looking at my arms on camera afterwards.
Andrew Schulz
I'm like, I'm done working out.
Akash Singh
I'm going the other way.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, juxtaposition's funnier.
Miles Gray
Yeah. And you're getting beat up, so why.
Andrew Schulz
You gotta be in good shape?
Akash Singh
Am I wasting these muscles for.
Andrew Schulz
But I saw that.
Akash Singh
I was like, that is like. That is dedicated. Like, what Rambo must have done to look like that.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Before steroids and shit. I kept telling Noah, I was like, yo, take steroids. Like, no, I gotta.
Andrew Schulz
Dude.
Akash Singh
I'm like that. Take steroids. Eat Rice Krispies treats or whatever.
Miles Gray
Like, I mean, Rambo is taking steroids.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Akash Singh
He should do that.
Mark Yagnon
It must have been.
Akash Singh
I'm.
Andrew Schulz
Only.
Akash Singh
If you see me in shape in a movie, I'm cheating.
Andrew Schulz
I am cheating. I can't wait to cheat.
Miles Gray
If you see me in shape in life, you're cheating. I'm cheating.
Mark Yagnon
Did you ever see Hugh Jackman in the First World?
Miles Gray
Seriously, not being fat, I'm cheating.
Akash Singh
Yeah, he was insane in every Wolverine.
Mark Yagnon
The first Wolverine. The last one is hilarious.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, why?
Akash Singh
He was small in the first one.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, the first one, he just sort of regular.
Miles Gray
Kind of regular.
Akash Singh
That's me.
Andrew Schulz
That's what I look like.
Mark Yagnon
Stop it.
Derek Gaines
You don't even look that good.
Andrew Schulz
No, that's what I look like.
Akash Singh
That's what I look like on camera.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, okay.
Derek Gaines
So they use cgi.
Mark Yagnon
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, so funny, things have changed.
Akash Singh
So I learned some shit about this, right? Because they're smart, right? With Noah, he's shirtless so much in the movie that, like, they can't really do anything about it. But, like, with me, I found out I was shirtless for the first three.
Miles Gray
Days and that's it.
Akash Singh
And I was like, say less.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, lovely.
Akash Singh
I was off the bread for like a week. I did my one scene the second we finished filming my scene. I already had a sandwich, so you.
Mark Yagnon
Gotta do retakes at the end.
Akash Singh
And then I had to be sure.
Mark Yagnon
I was like, God damn well justified in the scene.
Akash Singh
But so what I heard with these type of movies is they'll find out when he's gonna be shirtless. They'll film. Film that immediately almost. And then the rest of the scenes with Wolverine usually have his leather jacket on or a shirt that's ripped or whatever. So you get that scene right there one day that he prepares for.
Derek Gaines
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And then after that, he's still big.
Derek Gaines
And ripped, but he can absolutely.
Miles Gray
You can drink water.
Mark Yagnon
You can let go a little bit. Yeah. Did they give you a little touch up? Little.
Akash Singh
Oh, I asked him. So I ain't.
Andrew Schulz
Got the drink. Abs. I didn't get abs.
Akash Singh
I didn't work out for like. Like two months. And then we had to do this final scene. I'm just like, man. I go to the makeup people, I'm like, yo, shorty, let me talk to him a second. I need you to give me definition. Like, I need. So I'm all dirty in the scene, but we made sure the dirt would.
Andrew Schulz
Carve out my arm, carve out my cry. I am. I am bad at it. Hollywood, working out every day. I'm at the beach with my kids. Can't compete. He young. How.
Miles Gray
How old is he?
Akash Singh
Yeah, he's in his 20s.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, he got.
Akash Singh
That was ripped.
Miles Gray
Oh, no, he's great. I'm just saying, he got.
Akash Singh
This is.
Miles Gray
What are you doing at that age? You're trying to be in shape. It's over for us.
Akash Singh
It is over for us. All these. The guy plays Ryu. Andrew Koji. That was ripped. That was so goddamn ripping. And he busts his ankle. They had to shut down filming for three weeks.
Miles Gray
Oh, no.
Akash Singh
And I was like. Selfishly, I was like, like, am I involved in these other scenes? Like. Cause I was like, I gotta get back to America.
Andrew Schulz
I can't be on this.
Akash Singh
Luckily, they were able to fill me out.
Mark Yagnon
Are you able to tell the story of the dude that you thought was in costume?
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah. John Wall, my boy. He's this like, Bollywood star, I call him.
Andrew Schulz
He's like a big action star.
Akash Singh
He's like.
Miles Gray
That's what white people probably call him, but white people probably, like, vigil.
Akash Singh
It's not veget. It's actually vigit. Vidyat. Yeah, vidyat.
Miles Gray
Okay. There's no e. Oh, vidyut.
Akash Singh
Yeah. But Vidya. Okay, yeah, the way I said it.
Andrew Schulz
The way I said it initially.
Akash Singh
White ass. Look how handsome that is, right? So he plays Dulcim and that was the homie. Look at that.
Miles Gray
God damn.
Akash Singh
He said he don't believe in protein. Really?
Mark Yagnon
What?
Akash Singh
Yeah, you know he don't believe in it. He goes, protein is a myth.
Andrew Schulz
I said, what this funniest.
Akash Singh
Anyway, but he. Martial arts starts in India. Like all these. This is where it begins. And it's called color, something like that.
Andrew Schulz
What color?
Miles Gray
Insulting me.
Andrew Schulz
So you didn't even know martial arts started?
Akash Singh
I didn't know. Well, now you know. Kalari prayat K. Anyway, so he's like, yeah.
Miles Gray
Don'T even worry too. Yeah, I worry about South Indian stuff. It's too complicated.
Andrew Schulz
They started martial arts.
Mark Yagnon
They invented it, bro. Just a husband and a wife.
Andrew Schulz
She's like six.
Miles Gray
You think they're teaching self defense.
Andrew Schulz
So he's like sixth generation that.
Akash Singh
And he's also like an action star, like whatever. So he comes in and some and you know they had us in like funny costumes. So he pulled up and I thought he was in costume. I didn't know. Like, I didn't know that's just how he dressed. Regular. So the first day I meet him, I'm like, I'm like, oh, this is with Dawson was wearing this fire, blah blah. And I started like kind of teasing him or whatever and he's not really reacting and I don't know if he speaks English and I have no clue what's going on. And the directors and producers are all like, no, no, no. That's just what he. That's how he dresses. And I was like, I thought they were being sarcastic. And this went on for like 10 minutes. This went on for 10 straight minutes. I just kept putting my foot in my mouth and I couldn't get out of it. I don't really have anything else to say.
Derek Gaines
Does he with you now? Like guy love that guy. What's the whole I don't believe in protein.
Akash Singh
You don't believe in it, bro.
Miles Gray
So what does he eat? Yeah, he's vegetarian, I assume.
Akash Singh
I don't know.
Mark Yagnon
No follow up question.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know. Look like that I. E. Protein is crazy.
Akash Singh
Yeah, something else going on. But it's also like martial arts where it's invented.
Andrew Schulz
I'm not even trying to joke. I'm trying to tell you guys the history, bro.
Akash Singh
If you guys want to learn something.
Andrew Schulz
Today, anything beyond was invented there is invented there, bro.
Miles Gray
Like in what way? How.
Akash Singh
Is where martial Arts.
Derek Gaines
It's the way of life, man. It's the beaches.
Andrew Schulz
The beaches.
Mark Yagnon
The beaches, bro.
Andrew Schulz
The beaches, son. They got a great way of life out. You're Puerto Rican. You know what I mean? Why you guys think you're still there? The beach that was laying locked, you guys would have left.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but we culture.
Derek Gaines
There's a lot of stuff going on. More than just the beaches, man.
Akash Singh
Come got one bad bunny thing and then that's it. What about.
Mark Yagnon
What about FY? How was. How was Young?
Akash Singh
Fifth? 50 was great, man.
Miles Gray
He looked incredible.
Akash Singh
He lost like £25. The was starving himself. First cast, dinner. We show up, he spills a glass of champagne on me and he goes, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Takes off his Rolex and goes, here, take this. I go, I'm not taking that. He goes, no, man, I feel so bad. Take it. I'm like, I'm not taking your watch. He goes, please, man, take it. I'm like, I'm not having three guys break into my hotel this tonight to take this back. So I'm not gonna take this watch. And. And I don't know. I'm bombing right now, guys.
Mark Yagnon
Wait, is that real?
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you try to give me one. I didn't take the watch, but, yeah, he was just a legend.
Andrew Schulz
Fuck. You ain't take the watch for.
Akash Singh
Nah, I can't still this. That. That feels.
Mark Yagnon
He ruined your outfit.
Akash Singh
No, he didn't.
Andrew Schulz
He ruined it.
Mark Yagnon
He destroyed it with the Moet.
Akash Singh
I should have taken the watch 1 billion percent.
Miles Gray
I think you don't want these people to feel used. But I'd be using sometimes you. I mean, I be like, give me the watch you offer.
Derek Gaines
It's more disrespectful to turn it down.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I can't now.
Miles Gray
He's right. That's the move.
Akash Singh
No, I can't.
Miles Gray
Because you don't want a guy to feel like he took that watch.
Akash Singh
Watch for a shirt.
Miles Gray
Like, part of you is going to be like, I stained your shirt and you took my Rolex.
Derek Gaines
He offered.
Miles Gray
I know, but it's an empty offer. It's just to show how apologetic he is that I'd be willing to do this if you really wanted. But if you really wanted, we. Our friendship will be affected forever.
Akash Singh
Yes, 100%. Yeah. Yeah.
Miles Gray
That's. That's the reality of the matter.
Mark Yagnon
Is it also a crazy look to wear another man's Rolex?
Akash Singh
Nah, nah.
Miles Gray
Cause that's vintage watches.
Akash Singh
Yeah, vintage watch is somebody else's but.
Mark Yagnon
Now it's yours, though. Forever.
Akash Singh
Like, to borrow. No, no. He was like, he was giving me the watch.
Miles Gray
Gifting him the watch in exchange for his shirt.
Akash Singh
As a punishment, you know? Not as a punishment. As a punishment for an apology. As an apology. That was like the time you let.
Mark Yagnon
Me borrow your shoes. Al let me borrow his sneakers. Like, brand new off whites. And then anytime someone complimented me, I'd be like, thanks, they're Alex.
Andrew Schulz
And Alex, shut the fuck up.
Mark Yagnon
Don't tell people that.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Why?
Mark Yagnon
Because he didn't want people to know that I was wearing his shoes. He's like, you can't be wearing another man's shoe.
Miles Gray
But that's feet, dude. Different feet are sacred.
Andrew Schulz
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Akash Singh
You didn't want people knowing that you lent your shoes?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, like, I wanted you to stand.
Derek Gaines
On your own shit, you know? Like, it's kind of corny looking if you were wearing somebody else's shoes. So I was like, you're doing it for me?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
I was like, dude, thanks for the shoes. I told everyone, like, yeah, Alex gave it to me.
Miles Gray
No, that's nice. That's what you should do, right?
Akash Singh
And I was like, don't let people, people know that.
Mark Yagnon
You're going to make us look crazy out here.
Miles Gray
Y' all do look gay as.
Akash Singh
I know.
Miles Gray
That's why he's concerned.
Derek Gaines
It's not about you both. I'm a nice guy.
Mark Yagnon
How's Cody Rhodes?
Akash Singh
Oh, Cody was so good. He was so funny.
Miles Gray
Who surprised you the most in terms of. Okay, really?
Akash Singh
Cody. He was hilarious. The funniest person on set.
Miles Gray
Really?
Akash Singh
Like, hilarious. And like, he. Guile. It was to the point where I don't even know what Guile looks like. It's just Cody. Do you know what I mean? Like, once you see someone as a character, you're like, okay, that's kind of what they are, what they look like. He, they put a wig on, obviously. But, like, he was just so funny. I didn't expect him to be that funny. You know what I mean? Like, he's not that funny in wwe.
Andrew Schulz
He's good at wwe, but he's not hilarious.
Akash Singh
Like, the job isn't for him to be a comedian.
Miles Gray
White meat, baby face and that what they call it?
Akash Singh
Yeah, yeah. And like, but holy. I mean, mean, like every line. Yeah, every line. Like that role is bigger now in the movie because of him.
Miles Gray
Wow, that's the ultimate compliment.
Akash Singh
Trying to find more scenes, trying to find more things.
Miles Gray
Wow.
Akash Singh
Like that good shouts Like, I, I, I saw it happen. I saw, like, it was like, we have a. We have some funny. Like, we would. We would play.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
You know, like, well. And, like, we would kind of, like, build some things around it. And. And. And it was just. Yeah, we have some fun stuff.
Derek Gaines
Wrestling to acting pipeline. Like, there's.
Miles Gray
Because you're playing a character the whole time you're wrestling, so it's just like. It's just such a natural transition. Even rapping, acting, you're kind of playing a character as a rapper, so these things make perfect sense.
Derek Gaines
Nah, we real.
Akash Singh
Bro. Stop it. Sure, we. We.
Lan
We.
Derek Gaines
We everybody rapped at one point.
Akash Singh
You know, the hardest transition, I think, for. For the wrestlers is the same as the comedians where, like, they're used to a reaction to what they say. So basically separating yourself from that expectation.
Miles Gray
It's tough.
Akash Singh
Is tough. But those that can do it, like, obviously Cena did it. You're gonna see with Cody, like, and then obviously, Roman was Akuma.
Miles Gray
Oh, yeah.
Akash Singh
He's playing the bad guy.
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And, like, you know that if you can separate yourself from, like, the. The neediness of that immediate reaction, because everybody on set gotta be quiet until you cut. They already have the character work. They understand who it is.
Andrew Schulz
I.
Akash Singh
They're phenomenal. Phenomenal.
Miles Gray
I'mma watch that movie in Riyadh when it comes out.
Akash Singh
Respect. Now they got theaters, bro.

Miles Gray

Akash Singh
Gonna have a hard time telling there's a watermark.

It's like this generation's like 1738. It's just like a number that you. It's catchy and you just repeat it for no.
Akash Singh
1738 was obviously, like a pin code.
Andrew Schulz
He was Remy Martin. Remy Martin. You, you, you for judging me. I'm joking. You were serious. I'm obviously joking. What is it?
Akash Singh
What?
Miles Gray
1738.

1738 made it sound like Empire today.
Akash Singh
Ain't that.
Andrew Schulz
This guy wasn't there, Benny Wap. Oh, yeah.
Derek Gaines
Yes, it is.
Miles Gray
Oh, my God.
Akash Singh

Exactly, Mr. Rod.
Miles Gray
The one I saw was him saying, like, giving him the lyrics to hit, hit him up. He was like, what if you said that you had relations with his wife? Like, forget you and your friend group.
Akash Singh
Yeah, it's not as good without the down syndrome kid. I feel like all those could have been just as good if the down syndrome is in it.
Andrew Schulz
I really just want to see.
Akash Singh
That kid's a scene stealer.
Andrew Schulz
He's a scene stealer.
Akash Singh

Akash Singh
Are you saying that people don't trust a deal that was brokered between Donald Trump, Bibi Netanyahu and Hamas?

Akash Singh
Look how nice his dog is. Happy his dog is fed. Does his dog not feed?
Miles Gray
It looks beautiful.
Akash Singh
Dog got to smell the seed after Elon's daughter put that dusty on it.
Miles Gray
No, he got shot for going across.
Andrew Schulz
The chair, but she put that dussy.
Miles Gray
On it and maybe that's why he's going back. Gonna get another sniff.
Akash Singh
She had. Yeah. Elon's daughter just. Just dropping that dusty all over a seat on the stream.
Mark Yagnon
Bro. Can we get.
Akash Singh
Can we get.
Andrew Schulz
You don't want to smell that a little bit. Elon's daughter's daughter.
Akash Singh
I never seen him dripping all over the stream seat.
Andrew Schulz
Come on, Akash.
Miles Gray
Wait, is this the. Which daughter?
Akash Singh
The hot one.
Miles Gray
Not the son that transitioned the.
Akash Singh
Yeah, the daughter. The daughter. It's her daughter. That's why she got the dussy.
Miles Gray
Okay, I got you now. All right. Now I'm with you. Okay.
Akash Singh
Oh, get it. Get it. Look at that dussy. Oh, yeah. Does he dance?
Andrew Schulz
Does he dance?
Akash Singh
Does he dance? Does he dance? That was six, seven.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, that was six, seven for sure. Where's the dog right now, though?
Akash Singh
Probably a hyperbaric chamber. We don't want that dog to age one single day, son.
Miles Gray
She got some long arms. She could probably play small forward for any w. Small forward. That wingspan dog.
Akash Singh
Small forward.
Mark Yagnon
Wood.
Akash Singh
Oh.
Miles Gray
Oh.
Mark Yagnon
You saw that, right?
Andrew Schulz
I saw that.
Mark Yagnon
Got the dogs out.
Andrew Schulz
Shock them, bro.
Akash Singh
Shock them up. Yo, that. That's the thing. We can't. We can't have the same expectations for, like, normal human beings. Is for Turkish people.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
They're the last ones to convert into humans. Do you know what I mean? Like, if you look at the evolutionary chart, like, there's the one right before humans is Turkish. It's Ice cream man.
Mark Yagnon
Super tricky.
Andrew Schulz
Yes. When he was trying to get the.
Mark Yagnon
Puppies, the guy was like, whoop.
Andrew Schulz
And they wouldn't give him the puppy. Wouldn't give him the puppy at all.
Miles Gray
Nothing's doing with the puppy's freedom.
Andrew Schulz
Hey, D, you think there's a Turk right there?
Akash Singh
That's A Turk. That's what Turkish people are.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, my God. Tell me that they're not.
Miles Gray
That's not F.A.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly.
Akash Singh
They're one right before humans. And some of them are, like, human enough that we just go, all right, fine. But that is.
Andrew Schulz
That is them.
Akash Singh
So you can't put these standards on them that are unfair.
Mark Yagnon
They're doing their best.
Derek Gaines
Yo, FA gonna you up.
Akash Singh
I love fa.
Andrew Schulz
I love fa.
Akash Singh
Is one more to the left.
Mark Yagnon
FM would throw a spear through your head. You got to watch out.
Andrew Schulz
FA just got thumbs, got fire. Recently, he's the first person in his family line to have a thumb. Did you know that?
Akash Singh
It made history when he came out.
Andrew Schulz
And he had a thumb.
Akash Singh
It was a celebration in his village.
Andrew Schulz
Literally, the whole community came out, out of the trees and just like, yeah.
Miles Gray
God.
Mark Yagnon
He just got electricity. He just discovered it.
Akash Singh
And they need to put it on everything.
Mark Yagnon
That's not a dog. That's just a Turkish person.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, it's not actually a dog. Y' all thought this was a dog the whole time. There's an ice cream man in that outfit every single day. It's an ice cream man in the outfit. It's not a real dog. Leave him alone. Alone.
Miles Gray
Oh, my God.
Andrew Schulz
I'm sick and tired of it. Seven sick and seven of us. I'm sick and seven about it.
Akash Singh
Are we going to be able to.
Mark Yagnon
Go to Istanbul for the comedy festival?
Akash Singh
We need to. We need to pull up. We need to go to. I saw a funny flyer. Somebody. Oh, man, my bad. Forgetting who made this, but somebody made a flyer about comedians performing at the El Salvador Comedy Festival. Like, inside the sea cot. Those. Those prison facilities that they put all the gang members in for life.
Mark Yagnon
But it's funny.
Akash Singh
Oh. Anyway, credit to you, whoever you were, did that. My bad.
Andrew Schulz
I.
Akash Singh
For.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, God. But.
Akash Singh
But, yeah, man. Not everybody's a human.
Andrew Schulz
What else we got, boys?
Akash Singh
Come on. We having fun.
Mark Yagnon
Yo, you want to do this civil war thing?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Miles Gray
What's happening?
Akash Singh
This.
Mark Yagnon
This is going viral on Tik Tok a little bit. All right, let's say there's a civil war. It breaks out in America. See, this is how the countries are split up. Okay, which side you pulling for to watch win the civil war?
Miles Gray
F. You're not even a question.
Akash Singh
I mean, I'm going be honest with y'.
Andrew Schulz
All.
Akash Singh
F is the only one that. Okay, okay, ready? Here's. This is very important strategy right now. If California in its entirety was an H, they have a chance.
Lan
They're missing San Diego.
Akash Singh
San Diego is Fort Pembleton oh, yeah, that's the marine base. So California, without that, you're dead. You know, I mean, you're picking berries or whatever. You're an avocado farmer. Yeah, yeah, that's the biggest port.
Derek Gaines
Isn't that the most dense population, though.
Lan
Where it's most people?
Akash Singh
Where's it?
Mark Yagnon
Colorado, Utah.
Akash Singh
They got.
Andrew Schulz
They got Nevada.
Akash Singh
They got people, but they don't got. They can't bang out.
Mark Yagnon
Nevada's got all the air for you.
Akash Singh
To Nevada, they got Area 51, but that's for aliens.
Mark Yagnon
They got them or they got the aliens.
Miles Gray
Fort Hood, Fort Colleen.
Akash Singh
F is mad guns. Put Texas against any other country in the world and it wins.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
Outside, I think they also got Hawaii.
Andrew Schulz
Texas versus France.
Akash Singh
Who wins?
Miles Gray
Oh, we them up. We them up.
Mark Yagnon
They don't have F15s, France's fighter jets.
Akash Singh
Who doesn't have 15?
Miles Gray
Lockheed Martin in Texas.
Akash Singh
They have every single military group.
Mark Yagnon
They got the engineers over there.
Akash Singh
No, they have the big bases.
Mark Yagnon
We got to pull up.
Miles Gray
Fort Colleen, Fort Hood. It's a wrap. It's a wrap.
Akash Singh
They also have their own electrical grid, which fails a lot, but it is their own.
Andrew Schulz
It is their own.
Lan
California has the most military bases in.
Andrew Schulz
The U.S. yeah, but take away Pendleton.
Akash Singh
The one that matters, not the sea, whatever they're called.
Miles Gray
What are they?
Andrew Schulz
What is the.
Akash Singh
The ocean?
Andrew Schulz
Navy.
Mark Yagnon
Coast Guard.
Andrew Schulz
Coast Guard, yeah.
Mark Yagnon
They're guarding the coast.
Miles Gray
Texas got 14 bases, and the people are about that action. They got guns. They've been planning for this. They've been waiting for this. And we got. The only other place that got Mexicans like us is H. Go back.
Mark Yagnon
But they got to deal with the. The Hawaiians. The Hawaiians are going to be there.
Akash Singh
It up. The Hawaiians.
Lan
C. It's C. It's C. Why F got Hawaiians, too?
Mark Yagnon
That's my point, bro. The Hawaiians, you gotta. You gotta coordinate with the Hawaiians.
Miles Gray
C wins.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Why?
Lan
Absolutely. Chicago, population density. It doesn't have Chicago. If it has Chicago, it's even better.
Mark Yagnon
Missing Chicago, we got obloc.
Akash Singh
Well, hold on. There is a military base, there's Carolina.
Lan
Also all of Quantico and everything in D.C. virginia, all that shit's in the middle. You can grow crops.
Andrew Schulz
I'm not even gonna let you go. Crops? Is that. Dude, you said Quantico and there's.
Akash Singh
But no, he actually might be right, because North Carolina, I believe, has a major base. That's where everybody goes to basic training now.
Lan
You think? I'm not even thinking base. I'm thinking like you have the deepest ports. You have three or four ports.
Akash Singh
Bases, bro. This is going to be fought in that. In the.
Andrew Schulz
The skies.
Mark Yagnon
Sun.
Andrew Schulz
How do you think. How do you think we're going to win this war? By electrocuting all the felines.
Mark Yagnon
Texas has the power grid.
Andrew Schulz
It has a power grid.
Lan
Military sea also has all of the military schools.
Akash Singh
What do you learn in that?
Lan
How to be a soldier.
Akash Singh
What the.
Andrew Schulz
You. No, you don't.
Akash Singh
You got to learn how to subjugate Arabs.
Lan
I'm telling you, it's C. You got population density, John.
Miles Gray
It's F. What are we talking about?
Akash Singh
I probably got it F. I'm not going to lie. D might got some.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, you got all Georgia, Tennessee, half of Kentucky and then Florida. You got mad Navy bases up there.
Akash Singh
D might got some.
Mark Yagnon
It ain't F. I don't know about that.
Akash Singh
I can't believe they're trying to cancel Hassan for mutilating a dog.
Andrew Schulz
Free Hasan, bro.
Miles Gray
I like him.
Akash Singh
I like him, too. I'm obviously kidding. If. If. Yeah, but if I didn't like him.
Miles Gray
Yeah, it'd be over for him.
Akash Singh
Seven six on that grave. Seven six on his grave. Out. I was seven six.
Derek Gaines
I'm really gonna kill some before it even gets done.
Akash Singh
That's what we do.
Derek Gaines
I know.
Akash Singh
Once I turn 40, I'm killing all friends.
Miles Gray
I love that.
Akash Singh
Y' all youngins not gonna have anything fun and cool.
Mark Yagnon
No slang.
Akash Singh
I'm gonna find it and I'm gonna squash it out. Dress like y', all, and I'm gonna make you feel uncool about it. Yeah, I'm on dad mode right now. It's Uncle Shi. Yo.
Andrew Schulz
1738.
Akash Singh
We might need to bring back.
Mark Yagnon
That was fire.
Akash Singh
You gotta yell that when you nut. Yo, what's up with Fetty Wap? What's. He just got out, right? He's still locked up. He got, like, five years for tax evasion.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, I think he's locked up still.
Akash Singh
Do you just take the time? Like, if you owe 20 million, do you just take. Take the time?
Derek Gaines
Not that you still have to pay it.
Akash Singh
Get out of here.
Derek Gaines
I think so.
Akash Singh
That's not fair.
Miles Gray
That's.
Akash Singh
Yeah. The punishment is for the crime. Yeah. You shouldn't have to still pay for the crime after the punishment.
Derek Gaines
Look that up. I'm pretty sure you still got to pay or they make, like, an arrangement where you pay a little bit less.
Miles Gray
Oh, drug charges for six more years. Drug charges, though.
Mark Yagnon
Are you his PR agent?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Yagnon
It was like, tax fraud or something like.
Akash Singh
That's A oopsy daisy on my part. Oh, man. The drug stuff?
Miles Gray
Yeah.
Akash Singh
So much money. Why are you selling drugs?
Miles Gray
It's crazy, right?
Akash Singh
Don't sell.
Miles Gray
But I don't know how much he made. He was hot for that one summer he ran the summer.
Akash Singh
Oh my God.
Mark Yagnon
But he had like four.
Andrew Schulz
Unbelievable.
Miles Gray
Dude, what a time to be alive.
Derek Gaines
That was a great year.
Miles Gray
That was the last year I really like understood what was happening in music. After that it was just like, you know, I knew I got old. I said to my cousin, I was like, I just don't get future. And I was like, oh, it's over for me. The oldest I've ever said in my life. No, he is. I just. I didn't get it. And I was like, well, it's over.
Akash Singh
That's fair.
Miles Gray
It's over.
Akash Singh
That's fair. What's up with Drake's new shit? Is he dropping?
Miles Gray
Is he dropping?
Akash Singh
I mean, the lawsuit got dropped.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Miles Gray
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, that's right.
Miles Gray
You got dismissed.
Akash Singh
So what does that mean?
Miles Gray
Lost every way you can lose.
Akash Singh
Golly.
Miles Gray
Golly.
Mark Yagnon
That's.
Miles Gray
That's what he said.
Andrew Schulz
But here's the thing.
Akash Singh
They proved that it's bots though.
Miles Gray
It is all bots.
Akash Singh
But isn't that what he's.
Miles Gray
No, he was saying that the certified pedophile, all that shit was like unfair to say and it was. It harmed me. It was like. But the judge was like, you literally said in your song use talk about this. It was in Joe.
Akash Singh
I thought that wasn't the. The allegation. I thought that it was the record company was using that and promoting that song to defame him so that they could negotiate a more favorable deal for themselves. So they had use marketing tactics, pay viola bots, third party promotion, which we know to be true. I think Kendrick lost like a billion streams when Spotify did their. Spotify did their like reboot.
Miles Gray
I think he's still doing well. I think even after he's still like, the song is still top 30. I think.
Akash Singh
No, I'm sure. But like, still like a billion is not like a little amount. A billion streams.
Miles Gray
So I think what I. I don't know if the legal case was this, but it's like Drake also benefited from those bots. So I think what was the judges. Can we look at what the. Why the judge. The judge dismissed it.
Derek Gaines
And I think there was something else about the fact that they put the picture of his house and he's like, oh, you're putting me in danger or some like that. And they threw that out as well.
Akash Singh
But didn't he also post a picture of his house?
Derek Gaines
Yeah, because that's why the judge threw it out. It's like, yeah, your house is Googleable.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know, man.
Akash Singh
This is not like I didn't think the lawsuit was a good look.
Miles Gray
It was a horrible look. In what world was it a good look?
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, they said in a heated rap battle full of exaggerated exaggeration that he means that a reasonable listener would view the lyrics as opinion slash hyperbole, not literal fact. That's what I viewed it.
Miles Gray
How the judge know more about rap than Drake. Isn't that crazy? The judge is like, hey, this is what a rap battle is, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Who's this drug judge? We need to look up this judge.
Miles Gray
No fire. Also, you said in the song before that that Kendrick beat up his girl. That's a pretty crazy claim.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Miles Gray
So for all claims are false, you kicked it off. Then Kendrick says, I'm crazy about you, but you kicked it off. And the song before that, you were like, talk about how I like young girls. And then he talked about how you like young girls.
Akash Singh
But it's more believable that Drake could have sex with an underage girl than Kendrick could beat up a human.
Derek Gaines
Oh, no.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, no. Just no. All right, we just got out of it.
Mark Yagnon
76.
Andrew Schulz
Right out of.
Mark Yagnon
Six. Get the shot. Call, get the shot.
Miles Gray
Or in Kendrick's case, five, six.
Andrew Schulz
Being generous.
Akash Singh
All right.
Mark Yagnon
But I don't know if this is the whole lawsuit, because I thought there was also, like, the. The boss thing, and then the defamation thing was separate.
Andrew Schulz
Ah.
Mark Yagnon
So I'm not positive.
Miles Gray
I thought. What are you suing for?
Derek Gaines
Everybody uses it, too.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Stupid.
Andrew Schulz
What are you saying?
Akash Singh
Y' all use them more, but way less. But way less.
Miles Gray
So if we do a bank robbery together and you walk out more money, I'm going to be like, hey, arrest that guy. Yeah, he got more money than I did.
Mark Yagnon
You should get longer. You should get longer in jail for sure.
Akash Singh
You should get longer in jail if you stole more.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but just.
Miles Gray
What a stupid lawsuit.
Akash Singh
I think that's a good point.
Andrew Schulz
I think that's a great point, dude. That is a good point, though.
Akash Singh
If you stole more money, you should get more. If I stole, like, a hundred dollars, you should get way more.
Miles Gray
You're a idiot. That's the problem.
Akash Singh
That's a good point, too.
Andrew Schulz
You broke the law, too.
Miles Gray
You just did it like a. A idiot.
Akash Singh
Damn, bro, that was harsh to say.
Andrew Schulz
I know.
Miles Gray
It is harsh.
Andrew Schulz
I got to Be personal.
Akash Singh
That felt more right. You're right.
Andrew Schulz
I also thought as gave back the money, he wouldn't go to jail. I thought that.
Akash Singh
I thought it was like, all right, you got me. Like, I thought that.
Miles Gray
No, no, I get that. No, if you go to jail for tax evasion, you shouldn't still owe the taxes.
Lan
Yeah, I looked up.
Andrew Schulz
What do you mean?
Akash Singh
You got a.
Mark Yagnon
If you rob a bank and they're.
Andrew Schulz
Like, give us the money back.
Mark Yagnon
And then you're like, so we're good, son.
Akash Singh
That's how it works.
Andrew Schulz
Worked in Saudi Arabia. It did. Like when the MBS guy put all.
Akash Singh
The family and all the rich people in the. In the hotel, he put them all.
Miles Gray
In the St. Regent.
Akash Singh
Was it Saint Regis or the Wrist? Put them on the Wrist. He said. He said, yo, we looked at the books. Y' all are stealing. You give it back, you go home.
Andrew Schulz
No big deal.
Akash Singh
The people who gave it back went home. People didn't give it back. They still on a nice little all inclusive right now.
Andrew Schulz
But that's.
Akash Singh
That. That should be. It should be like, yo, irs, it's up to you to catch me. And if you don't catch me, then I'm good.
Miles Gray
We did drive by the Ritz, and I was like, this is beautiful. Why aren't we staying there?
Andrew Schulz
It's busy. Turns out full occupancy to Mania 5 is happening right now.
Miles Gray
Oh, man. So I've been laughing at Miles's line for six days.
Andrew Schulz
I don't want to know what I said, man.
Miles Gray
So for when we get to the check in or whatever in Saudi Arabia, we land, we. We lose a guy, Tom, who is dressed bleach, blonde hair, he's wearing fucking leopard print shoes. I'm like, this guy's being real bold coming to Saudi Arabia, and then we don't see him for like an hour. And for whatever reason, they can't find our suitcases. So after an hour, say, I go, have they found our suitcases yet? And Miles goes, yeah. They're shoving Tom into one of them.
Lan
My bad, Tom.
Derek Gaines
I was a beggar that.
Miles Gray
I've been laughing at that for six days straight. Oh, my God. Best line of the trip.
Andrew Schulz
You should have said that on stage, you coward.
Lan
Y' all wouldn't let me on.
Mark Yagnon
On stage, Miles was gaslighting the out of Alex.
Akash Singh
It was very funny.
Lan
What did I do now?
Akash Singh
I don't remember anything because Alex was like, I forgot.
Andrew Schulz
Miles. Game.
Akash Singh
Thank you.
Mark Yagnon
I was like, how come they use the. The watermelon for, like, the Palestinian resistance? Like, why do all like the pro Palestine people use the watermelon? And Akash was like, yeah, I think it's similar to the flag. And they were like banning the flag. Miles was like, nah, man, it's one of their biggest exports. And we're like, really? He's like, yeah. The fact that they export a lot of watermelon, that's why the Middle Eastern people, you know, they use the watermelon. Watermelon and all their.
Miles Gray
They've been giving you hella watermelon juice.
Akash Singh
All over the place.
Miles Gray
It seems like.
Akash Singh
I don't think I can export anything. Not.
Lan
I didn't mean that.
Akash Singh
I didn't mean to.
Andrew Schulz
I thought that's one of the biggest issues out there.
Miles Gray
My man. Talking like a song. Got a dog.
Lan
I didn't mean to say it was a. No, I'm sorry if I like fully.
Mark Yagnon
I don't accept your apology. You were gaslighting all this.
Akash Singh
I didn't mean to gaslight you.
Miles Gray
We all believed you.
Lan
No, it is a color thing, but it's. It also is, I think like I watched a TikTok on this flag. Woman explain it that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Yeah, watermelon.
Akash Singh
Good boy.
Andrew Schulz
Thank you.
Miles Gray
Hey, we back. You don't gotta say that no more.
Lan
Nah. That prophet Mo, he ate watermelon, like to cool off in the heat. So it's a, it's a common thing there. They do water. They have a ton of watermelon.
Derek Gaines
I don't know why. I don't even like Miles saying watermelon.
Andrew Schulz
It does sound like there's some er on it.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah, right.
Andrew Schulz
It just does sound like there's some er on it.
Miles Gray
Nick. Prophet Muhammad is reported to have eaten water.
Lan
Say the thing.
Andrew Schulz
Did you guys see that clip of.
Akash Singh
David Cross Virgin single David Cross saying the N word on the pot with Norman? And then Norman's like, are you going to cut that? And he's like, no, it is the ah, you can say it. And Norman's like, I don't know if.
Andrew Schulz
People feel comfortable like that.
Akash Singh
And then he goes, no, you can, you can say with.
Miles Gray
Never talk to a black person. David Cross, dude. I remember somebody.
Andrew Schulz
You got to get this clip up.
Akash Singh
It's so good.
Andrew Schulz
And Norman's looking out for him.
Akash Singh
Norman's like, I don't know if you want that out there for you. And he goes, no, if other people say it, you can say it quoting. I don't believe. I don't believe that.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Miles Gray
Oh my God.
Andrew Schulz
Good luck.
Miles Gray
Demon cross. When that black Guy shows up here, show one day.
Akash Singh
One day.
Miles Gray
Have to deal.
Andrew Schulz
You're going to have to answer for that one day.
Akash Singh
W. Kamau Bell will show up one day.
Miles Gray
Are there white women there for him?
Akash Singh
Oh, you're right. My bad.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Miles Gray
All the hip hop guys were getting their. They would go visit this, like, old.
Akash Singh
Southern racist guy and his porch sketches, Georgia or wherever.
Miles Gray
And it was basically, he would take, you know, their lyrics and.
Mark Yagnon
And he's like, oh, ain't.
Akash Singh
But, you know, whatever it is.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Miles Gray
And then they would all sit there and listen and write it down, and.
Akash Singh
Then they go, oh, that's hilarious. Yeah, it was. It was a good. It was a good idea. You gonna bleep that N word or what? No, because it's the A. It's the.
Andrew Schulz
Ah.
Mark Yagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Ah.
Akash Singh
Okay.
Mark Yagnon
It's your show.
Akash Singh
See?
Andrew Schulz
It's my show. Oh, wow.
Mark Yagnon
I didn't know there was an H. That's crazy.
Miles Gray
Also, that sketch is wildly condescending toward black people in hip hop.
Derek Gaines
Yeah.
Akash Singh
I don't know the whole sketch, so I can't say. But he was describing a sketch. He wasn't saying, oh, this is what we say. Just for context.
Miles Gray
Also, hip hop guys, you could just call them rappers. You white.
Akash Singh
He doesn't know.
Miles Gray
Who's your favorite hip hop guy?
Akash Singh
He doesn't know black people. Okay. You have to forgive them.
Miles Gray
What a dweeb.
Akash Singh
They don't know know. They don't know.
Derek Gaines
Is he black?
Akash Singh
Who? David Cross.
Derek Gaines
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Derek Gaines
He got a black beard.
Andrew Schulz
He does.
Akash Singh
He got a little Philly in.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, that's what I'm like.
Mark Yagnon
Maybe he might have the past.
Miles Gray
Hey, we got a lot of comedy fans in this room. What's your favorite David Cross bit? Oh, there we go.
Andrew Schulz
You out for blood? This is.
Miles Gray
I'm out for blood, dog. I went to Saudi Arabia.
Andrew Schulz
I'm all about it now. I'm all about it. Guy's getting it all the journalists.
Mark Yagnon
Arrested Development was good.
Miles Gray
He's a great actor. He's hilarious. Sketches, acting, great stand up. I can't think of a single bit.
Lan
I like the hamster movies.
Miles Gray
Hamster movies. The chipmunks.
Akash Singh
Chipmunks.
Miles Gray
He's great, dude. Anytime he's not being himself, he's awesome.
Akash Singh
None of these that talk about comedy are funny. Like, that's the number one. Like, if people know you for your opinions about comedy and not your jokes, you're probably. Probably not funny. Simple as that. It's like. That's the sad thing. Like, even Jeselnick now. It's like the only time. You ever see anything about Jeselnik? He's like, whining about comics.
Miles Gray
I've never heard him say a positive thing about another comic that's not himself.
Akash Singh
Of course, but like, that's the only thing he can get attention for. It's gotta break his heart. Like, he used to be a big comic that, like, people would like his jokes.
Derek Gaines
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And I mean, if that's. If you're into that kind of.
Miles Gray
No, but it's so brilliant because, like, no matter what the joke is, you're like, where's this going? A baby died.
Akash Singh

This episode is an energetic, irreverent, and globally-minded dive into the world of comedy, cancel culture, and the real-life adventures of the Flagrant crew as they return from the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia. The hosts deconstruct the recent backlash against comedians performing overseas, examine the hypocrisy within the stand-up industry, share outrageous travel stories, riff on cultural differences, and serve up no-holds-barred takes on political correctness, virtue signaling, and the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict. As always, the tone is unruly, fast-paced, and unfiltered.

Flagrant is at their best here: freewheeling, politically incorrect, and equally willing to roast themselves, the industry, or the world at large. The episode is less about dispensing conclusions and more about laughing in the face of controversy and absurdity—especially as they critique hypocrisy within modern comedy and reflect on their world-traveling, risk-taking careers.
For listeners, it’s a masterclass in inside-comedy shop talk, international perspective, and flagrant jokes that cut through the noise.
For new listeners:
If you’re looking for unfiltered comic takes, global stories, and relentless jokes on everything from cancel culture to niqabs and AI, this is a definitive Flagrant episode.
