Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Episode #695: Shapiro’s Eyebrows, Chalamet Should Learn from Leo, & Are Jamaicans Irish?

Date: March 11, 2026

Episode Overview

This riotous and rapid-fire episode of Flagrant, hosted by Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh (with AlexxMedia and Mark Gagnon), is classic Flagrant chaos: riffing on current culture (from political outrage to the minutiae of dad life), drugs, dumb internet myths, celebrity etiquette, and even linguistics, all with their trademark irreverence. Highlights include a hilarious rundown of Timothée Chalamet’s PR blunders, wild speculation on Leo DiCaprio’s dating habits, the “Jamaicans are Irish?” rabbit hole, and, of course, the general mayhem of comedian hangout energy.

Special guest Joey Avery joins the hang, dropping in stories about comedy, drug trips, and sharing insights from his new special.
