Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"The whole point is it's offensive to me. It's like you don't get enough an American television or something like you got to stop watching like certain shows to think that we want to get out." — Andrew Schultz
"I want to feel rich. I want to tip someone five dollars and they're like, 'Oh my god. Oh my god. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.'" — Akash Singh
"So in all seriousness, I think that we have to make it more modern the Indian wedding and by making more modern... I think you let everyone take part in this in this driving or riding the elephant thing." — Alex Media
The episode opens with an introduction of the hosts and guests, quickly delving into a discussion about a viral video depicting a physical altercation between a couple, analyzing the dynamics and humor within the situation. The conversation then shifts to personal travel experiences, with hosts expressing frustration over passport checks and the perceived invasiveness of questions about their intentions when visiting foreign countries. They critique the notion that Americans might want to permanently relocate from the U.S. and reflect on the feeling of wanting to "feel rich" when traveling abroad.
The discussion further explores the concept of modernizing cultural traditions, specifically focusing on Indian weddings. One guest proposes making the experience more inclusive by allowing more participants to ride an elephant, a tradition typically reserved for the groom. This leads to a humorous segment about names and their meanings, with a guest questioning the spelling and origin of his own name, "Edden." The hosts engage in lighthearted teasing and debate about biblical versus indigenous names.
The episode concludes with a lighthearted endorsement of the podcast's Patreon, promoting exclusive content for subscribers. The hosts also touch upon the sensitive topic of Jeff Epstein, acknowledging the existence of jokes but opting not to share them due to potential controversy, suggesting they might be reserved for live shows. The overall tone is casual, conversational, and peppered with comedic interjections.
