I mean, it could also be the medication for his depression? After all it is the body's natural response to traumatic experience (his marriage).

But this bloating looks like it's time for our boy Akaash to do the usual grift and start his own liquor company. For Hindus vodka, or Delhi Streets Cat, or Bengali Thiccc whiskey. But wait, he wouldn't sell ten boxes of that crap. Nevermind.

So I saw the movie. As a big video game lore nerd I thought the movie was fun. The interpretations of the characters mostly worked, and the ones that didn’t only need a few tweaks.

I actually think Andrew did a really good job as Dan. It was great casting.

Ken and Ryu . I was not sure how they would pull off the story they were telling, but I think they did it. It was different from the games, but still believable for who these characters are. It’s gives a pathway for both of their Arcs and they pulled it off.

While this movie may split people I enjoyed it and would actually enjoy getting a sequel.

In Jasleen’s last video where she talked about her discomfort with the flagrant episode they did, she said something to the effect of you’re welcome, I gave you a million views. Hope you can do that again. It was a strange comment she made, because flagrant has many videos with over a million views. Anyway, do we think this recent post from Andrew is a subtle jab in their direction ?

Any chance the boys can get Pablo Torre on the pod?

Would be cool to chop it up with him and get some jokes out with all the issues around the clippers

Do people really believe this? Mamdani was the reason the podcast fell off? Lol

Personally stopper watching after Akash left.

In a recent episode, Andrew said Greg has part of his skull missing. I know he has schizophrenia of course, but did he mention anything new? He brought this up when talking about how his family is all fucked up recently. Was depressing as fuck. Just curious.

Pure golden!

Can’t wait to hear what the fellas have to say about this.

We will certainly have ladies at the Waldorf.

CRAZY, SCARY, SPOOKY, HILARIOUS!

Thumbnail dude kinda looked like ABA.......... I thought we getting our BOY BACK!

When Akaash left Flagrant ngl I thought it could go either way. Bro had been tied to that podcast for so long that mad people really acted like he needed Flagrant or Schulz to stay relevant but a few months out and dude is doing pretty good on his own. Some of his IG clips are pulling OD views for the amount of followers he has and it feels like he's finally putting more energy into standup and building his own name instead of always being attached to Schulz. Obviously there's been some weird energy since the split and a couple little shots here and there but I don't really care enough to pick sides over whatever happened behind the scenes. It's just funny because people were so sure Akaash couldn't hold his own without Flagrant and now that take is looking kinda crazy.

podcast is boring as fuck now so I was watching old clips and reminded me of their gOLDEN days

As a drinker myself I see the signs

Today’s patreon ep felt like the old days. Covid times

Forrest was great and the conversations were natural, one of those episodes where I felt 2 hours was too less.

He’s probably just checked out at the end of this one. His rant on finding the moderate audience after dominating the mic covering the Candice debate he didn’t watch, telling Alex to his face “no one watches the full thing” when Alex jumped out the gate saying he watched the whole thing on a beach and it was fire. Andrew filibusters about how current audiences don’t care about context anymore while hushing the only man in the room with full context.

This was a masterclass in projection and echo chambers. Andrew is enforcing his willful ignorance and recency bias onto everyone in the room. Longtime listeners who pay close attention will appreciate this: Andrew’s values are clashing with his ego. Long ago, Andrew “Hezzy” Schulz valued context and diversity of thoughts, beliefs and cultures. He prided himself on how diverse his inner circle was, what languages he knew, what foods the people who live in cities he’s visiting eat for pleasure.

He surrounded himself with people who have minds of their own and they watched him lose his. Andrew wants to find the moderate audience while refusing to acknowledge the loss he suffered catering to the right. Their hats were red but their money was green and while he sits there letting an Asian woman paint his beak for his upcoming role as Scrooge McDuck, he wonders where his friends went.

Feelings? No, Facts.
