Overview

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.

Main Segments & Highlights

00:00 – 10:30

• Schulz and crew just got back from doing a major comedy festival in Saudi Arabia and joke that they “negotiated with Hamas” to bring peace to the Middle East.
• They mock the outrage from western comedians and audiences about performing in “problematic” countries, slamming the idea that comics should avoid non-western venues out of protest.
• Akaash highlights the loyalty of Flagrant fans: “Shout out to Flagrant, bro, we got the best fans in the world. Our fans didn’t give a flying fck that... (01:26)”*
• The hosts denounce comics who cave to their audience's political demands, noting:
  • “There is nothing worse than being an independent content creator ...and then being imprisoned by your own audience.” – Akash (09:00)

2. Critique of Comedy’s Culture Wars & Hypocrisy

10:30 – 28:00

• The group discuss comics who “virtue signal” but then take overseas gigs for money, calling out hypocrisy in targeting Beyonce for “blood money” then doing the same.
• Mark: “The reality is, the top tier got the same amount (of money) as at US arenas. If you’re top, you’re not doing it for the money.” (11:28)

  • “You can’t perform outside of Brooklyn.” – Schulz (09:51)
• Reflection on their audience's diversity:
  • “A lot of our audience is like, either immigrants or kids of immigrants ...who know how the rest of the world works.” – Mark (09:28)
• Any backlash is linked more to prior “political” stances or career moves than actual integrity.

  • “Eventually, you’re going to do some movie backed by Qatar or Saudi.” – Akash (12:52)

  • “The guy who started this whole thing got a TV show on Apple—sweatshop kings, cobalt mines, worst slavery...” (13:08)

4. American Exceptionalism vs. Global Reality

42:00 – 55:00

• The team mock Western narcissism (“everything is for us or because of us”) and the double standards held by Americans toward other countries’ legal or cultural systems.
• Akaash: “People there...did not decide to be born there...they still allow you to live your f*cking dream.” (14:09)
• They celebrate the authenticity of travel and making global connections through comedy.

5. On Cancel Culture and Podcast Industry Drama

58:00 – 1:10:00

7. AI Content, Comedy, & “The True Meaning of ‘6-7’”

1:28:00 – 1:40:00

• They react to viral AI-generated comedy clips (MLK, Mr. Rogers, Tupac)—both impressed and disturbed by the realism and absurdity:
  • “This is absolute art.” – Andrew Schulz (69:16)
• A recurring riff: what’s the meaning of “6-7” in viral online parlance, with the crew improvising (“six-seven means nothing—just repeat it!” – Derek, 71:17).

8. Debates & Wild Riffing: Dogs, Shock Collars, and Social Media Meltdowns

1:41:00 – 1:55:00

• They riff on the controversy of Hasan Piker allegedly zapping his dog (“zap that dog”—a running joke about culture clashes and Internet virtue signaling).
• Ongoing satire of American media cycles: “He got a ceasefire! He made the ceasefire happen...He can electrocute the out of a bait...One dog, bro. It’s one dog.” (81:55)
• “Not all Turkish people are quite human yet” (Akash, 89:04)—the group goes all in on outrageous, intentionally offensive riffs about culture and evolution for laughs.

• The outcome of Drake’s dismissed lawsuit against Kendrick—no one buys Drake’s legal rationale.

Tone & Takeaway

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:

• This episode is heavy on inside baseball for the comedy industry and doesn't shy away from controversial or inflammatory jokes.
• It offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of comedy’s global evolution, plus the egos, backlash, and friendships that shape the business today.

Transcript

[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.com Other date, San Jose, we added a show. East Providence this week. We're going to sell that shit out. San Francisco, we're going to end up having a show. Irvine, we're going to end up adding shows. Go to akashing.com buy those Chicago theater tickets. Man. I'm so fucking excited. Thank y' all so much for making the dream come true. I love y'.

[Andrew Schulz]

All.

[Miles Gray]

God bless.

[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. Me, Joey, Avery, my friend David. Unfortunately, we're also going to New Orleans, Mobile, Alabama, Nashville, Tennessee, Denver, Hoboken, Philadelphia, Fort Wayne, Detroit. 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]

Yeah, they do.

[Akash Singh]

Now you got tears. All right, what else we talking about, boys?

[Derek Gaines]

When does the movie come out?

[Akash Singh]

Next October.

[Derek Gaines]

Oh, okay.

[Akash Singh]

Yeah.

[Derek Gaines]

That's a long edit.

[Miles Gray]

Joey, hit us.

[Mark Yagnon]

[Andrew Schulz]

Okay.

[Mark Yagnon]

Do you want to just do, like, a little.

[Derek Gaines]

Oh, no.

[Mark Yagnon]

What?

[Derek Gaines]

The videos you was playing earlier.

[Mark Yagnon]

What, you don't want to do some AI videos?

[Miles Gray]

Still don't know how I feel about it.

[Andrew Schulz]

About, though.

[Mark Yagnon]

Do you want to talk about some AI videos, son?

[Miles Gray]

This Sora 2 is crazy.

[Akash Singh]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Mark Yagnon]

Have you seen any of the AI videos that people are posting? The sore videos.

[Akash Singh]

I immediately scroll past any AI video I see.

[Mark Yagnon]

Really?

[Akash Singh]

Yeah.

[Mark Yagnon]

Why?

[Andrew Schulz]

I just don't care.

[Miles Gray]

Once they take away that watermark, you're.

[Akash Singh]

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

[Miles Gray]

Yeah, every Sora video says sora.

[Akash Singh]

Oh. I don't even notice it. I just, like, once I see it's, like, fake. I'm just like, I don't care. Like, I mean, it's. There's funny. Like, I'll see the Jake Paul things.

[Miles Gray]

Have you seen the Mr. Rogers and Tupac?

[Akash Singh]

No.

[Andrew Schulz]

Good.

[Miles Gray]

Oh, my God. Can we find that clip?

[Derek Gaines]

No, that's Good. You can play a few of these.

[Akash Singh]

They're good.

[Derek Gaines]

[Akash Singh]

It's just.

[Derek Gaines]

They need to be playing with my man mlk, though.

[Akash Singh]

But that's the thing. They need to be so up in order for me to.

[Derek Gaines]

Of freedom cannot be chained by the hands of time.

No, that's unbelievable. All right. Now, I say to you today, my friends, GTA 6. More like GTA 6 7. He did that. Yo. Break down the 67 to me.

[Derek Gaines]

I'm a boomer.

[Miles Gray]

I don't think it means anything. I don't think there's, like, any history to it. It's just 67. You just. Anytime you can say 67.

[Mark Yagnon]

You like Skrilla song?

[Derek Gaines]

Yeah, it's from a song.

[Akash Singh]

Yeah, Skrillex.

[Mark Yagnon]

Skrilla.

[Akash Singh]

Yo, you had so much confidence with.

[Andrew Schulz]

Fucking jack shit knowledge, I didn't even ask you. Cause I knew you knew nothing. You don't even know about color de pilot. Of course you're not gonna know about six' seven. You jumped to answer.

[Miles Gray]

Relics.

[Andrew Schulz]

You jumped to answer. He said, hey, hey, hey. There's no meaning behind it. Even though I had no information about. Back that up. Yo, you're not fat. You just full of. I can't believe. I can't believe you open your mouth to say anything crazy. They had. They knew what it was. They knew what it was. They knew what it was. And you jumped in front of them to say nothing. Really?

[Miles Gray]

How is this play.

[Andrew Schulz]

Play Delicious. All right, Mark, can you break down what the 67 doesn't mean anything.

[Akash Singh]

It.

[Miles Gray]

I told you.

[Mark Yagnon]

No, it's from this song from. From Scrilla. Doot doot. Six seven is a wonderful song.

[Akash Singh]

It's a.

[Mark Yagnon]

It's an absolute.

[Miles Gray]

That don't mean anything, yo.

[Akash Singh]

That's it.

[Derek Gaines]

That's it.

[Akash Singh]

All right.

[Andrew Schulz]

So.

[Akash Singh]

So. But is six seven like his neighborhood? Is it the street he lives on?

[Mark Yagnon]

Know about that? I don't even know why he mean anything.

[Derek Gaines]

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.

[Andrew Schulz]

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]

Yeah, but 1738 is probably his address.

[Andrew Schulz]

He docks himself, you know, he's just letting people know. 1738. Come on, bro. Oh, is this Sora? Please tell me. Promised to us.

[Akash Singh]

And I have one thing to say.

[Andrew Schulz]

Six, seven letters.

[Akash Singh]

The big.

[Derek Gaines]

Oh, the coins is crazy.

[Miles Gray]

Oh, my God. Yo, hit that Tupac one if you can. I think this might be. This might be. Hopefully this is the one. I just looked it up.

[Akash Singh]

Sure. These clips get deleted. What's up, my neighbor? What'd you call me?

[Andrew Schulz]

Nah, I'm just messing with you.

[Miles Gray]

My neighbor.

[Andrew Schulz]

My neighbor. My motherfucking neighbor. Man, you wild Fred.

[Akash Singh]

I know. I was wondering, could I get the pass just one time, please? Fair now, Mr. Rogers. That's one thing I can't hand out, even in the neighborhood. Fair enough.

[Andrew Schulz]

You still cool with me?

[Akash Singh]

You know what, Pac? I think I'm ready to leave this white ass neighborhood. So what's this game called again? This shit Here is Connect4Loco. I win, you drink. You win, I drink. Well, let's get neighborly. Like this. Chin tuck, step, pop the jab, bring it right back. Real simple. Slip, roll with it, then hook.

[Andrew Schulz]

All about staying ready.

[Akash Singh]

You never know.

[Miles Gray]

And it helps you feel prepared and kind.

[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]

I'm a guil free laughter at down syndrome.

[Mark Yagnon]

Because it's not a real one.

[Akash Singh]

Because it's not a real one. Exactly.

[Andrew Schulz]

Oh, yeah.

[Akash Singh]

That's why we can laugh at it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, isn't that.

[Derek Gaines]

No, no, no, you're right.

[Akash Singh]

You know, but I'll be laughing at the.

[Andrew Schulz]

I've seen this one. This is good.

[Akash Singh]

But imagine there's a Down syndrome kid.

[Andrew Schulz]

All of these would be better if.

[Akash Singh]

There'S a Down syndrome crib just yelling out different peanut butters or whatever.

[Miles Gray]

How about Hitler, though. Hitler 1.

[Andrew Schulz]

Did we talk about the ceasefire?

[Derek Gaines]

No.

[Akash Singh]

Briefly.

[Lan]

You said you solved it.

[Akash Singh]

Solved that. I mean, isn't that cool that there's a ceasefire? Yeah. The hostages back. Hamas is going to relinquish power. Like, isn't this what everybody wanted?

[Miles Gray]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

Why does it feel like it's not.

[Akash Singh]

A lot of excitement?

[Miles Gray]

I think we're not sure if it's actually. We need to make sure it's calm before we're like.

[Akash Singh]

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

[Andrew Schulz]

Yes.

[Miles Gray]

Thank you.

[Andrew Schulz]

Are you saying that you encapsulated the feeling people might think that that won't happen?

[Akash Singh]

Those three figures.

[Miles Gray]

Yeah.

[Akash Singh]

Might back out on their word. Yeah.

[Mark Yagnon]

Someone might. Might renegotiate.

[Andrew Schulz]

Wow. Okay.

[Akash Singh]

I think that's very fair. But the, the hostages are back, which is great. So clearly BB would never do anything.

[Miles Gray]

No, no. This whole thing has been about the hostages.

The dog wasn't misbehaving. Like what's he doing that's misbehaving.

They don't have animals. They don't have house pets. He doesn't know what to do. He thinks it's a fucking cheetah. He's not American. He doesn't know how to be an American yet. We have to institutionalize him. Teach him. Until then, zap that dog. He thinks he lives in a zoo. No, he's from Turkey. They're dumb. They don't know what to do with animals. He thinks you're supposed to pile it up into a shawarma machine.

[Andrew Schulz]

A lot of people don't know for.

[Akash Singh]

A fact dogs feel electricity.

[Miles Gray]

Then how does it work?

[Akash Singh]

It doesn't.

[Miles Gray]

Yeah, Savvy's totally Ms. Made.

[Akash Singh]

I try to hook Savvy up to our electrical outlet.

[Andrew Schulz]

Sometimes I put a little dog treat.

[Akash Singh]

In the electrical outlets.

[Akash Singh]

The electrical outlets every time she misbehaved, like, oh, there's some peanut butter snacks over there. She gonna learn her lesson.

[Lan]

No, with my boys when we were young.

[Akash Singh]

You.

[Lan]

The fence line was There.

[Akash Singh]

And you just put on and run.

[Lan]

See how far you could get before you started running Back you go, put a flag and you try to beat your other part.

[Andrew Schulz]

See? And he's fine. That's awesome. Leave us on alone. How's it feel?

[Miles Gray]

What's going on?

[Lan]

It feel like you turn around real fast.

[Derek Gaines]

That's really all I care about.

[Andrew Schulz]

Exactly.

[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]

[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]

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]

[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]

No. The baby gets aids.

[Miles Gray]

Okay, okay.

[Akash Singh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me guess, Anthony. Does the baby get AIDS?

[Miles Gray]

25 years of that.

[Andrew Schulz]

I didn't see it coming. I can't. I can't believe I didn't see it coming. I can't believe his career isn't where it was. What a beautiful misdirect. The baby got aids. Wait a minute. Did the baby get AIDS again? That's Brady.

[Miles Gray]

That's art.

[Andrew Schulz]

You know what?

[Mark Yagnon]

Come on, Shannon.

[Andrew Schulz]

Come on, Shannon.

[Miles Gray]

That's art.

[Andrew Schulz]

Maybe it doesn't work.

[Miles Gray]

That's art. That's art.

[Andrew Schulz]

We've cured eight.

[Miles Gray]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schulz]

We need a disease that Anthony can. Can use for his 20 minute misdirection.

[Derek Gaines]

God, dude, all we missing is the cognac.

[Miles Gray]

I don't give a. I'm tired of these liberal white folks telling me I'm done. I'm done. You're not doing it. Y' all don't do for anybody. Don't judge me. I'm done. I ain't. And you ain't either.

[Akash Singh]

I'm tired of Akash.

[Miles Gray]

Yeah, but you at least got Brown fans, so I can't even hate on you.

[Andrew Schulz]

Damn.

[Akash Singh]

You got it.

[Miles Gray]

You got it over there.

[Akash Singh]

I love you dogs.

[Miles Gray]

Love you, buddy. We in this.

[Andrew Schulz]

All right.

[Akash Singh]

What else we got? Anything else? Yeah.

[Lan]

Good job fixing the Middle East.

[Akash Singh]

Yeah, we did fix the Middle east, man.

[Mark Yagnon]

Good job, gang, you know? Yeah, we did it, gang.

[Akash Singh]

But we do.

[Derek Gaines]

Yeah, with my gang.

[Akash Singh]

Gang 67, y' all flagrant out.
