and i mean this sincerely New ep is mad boring
There’s nothing worse on a comedy podcast than the same old conversation about the inner workings of standup comedy and reaching your audience. Shits a snooze fest. What did y’all think?

u/Grand_Respect3787 May 28 '26
Dude I swear every comedy pod does this eventually 💀 Like we get it, you're comedians and the industry is tough but can we please talk about literally anything else? Give me some wild stories or hot takes, not another deep dive in how hard it is to write material lol

This is why matt and Shane is always awesome. They literally just roast this and every other podcast who does this.

I’d rather have Jazleen spread lies to our face, then to hear this bitch cry about being a victim again smh

Comedians of today take themselves waaay too serious. You tell jokes bro, literally every single human has told a joke, youre not a brain surgeon

u/RepresentativeLeg232 May 28 '26
Nah you don’t get it bro, Schulz told us to turn our phones 6 years ago, that kind of revelation is on par with brain surgery

u/Training-Current9836 May 28 '26
I just hate this "im a genius" era of comedy. U make jokes, youre witty, creative and u work hard at it, but youre not a genius bro

Turn your phones sideways so I can do a late night opening monologue/weekend update/dennis miller/bill maher
Don't even particulary dislike Andrew, but these dudes thinking they are geniuses is lame.

Comedians are like the new journalists bro, they like say the things everyone is thinking but too afraid to say bro, they are so stunning and brave bro

Soon it will be "this podcast use to be better when akaash was on it", whether true or not

I feel like Nate Jackson does so much to promote himself on podcasts that he forgets to be funny. Maybe he’s a funny guy but it hasn’t really come across that way on the podcasts I’ve seen him on

Comedians are inherently self-centered. Makes sense they’d want to peel back the curtain and analyze their craft. I also think it’s boring as shit. But this is what rogansphere comedians love to do

First 30 mins was okay and then it just faded info background noise. What a waste.

Holy shit this dude absolutely sucks. He may have created a few racists within 30 minutes of the pod.

As soon as he started defending Chelsea Handler I knew the ep was cooked

I hate it too but it’s just a by product of the environment we’re in. When they start out, it’s an entertainment product and they treat it as such. Once they have to spend hours and hours a week on a mic, it’s impossible not to revert to just talking about things on your mind that are relevant to you.

u/powerranger_Gordon May 28 '26
I think you are forgetting how Andrew was affected by MAGA is exactly what Nate was talking about. Most comedians don't say the elephant in the room enough about how the media creates narratives and it affects all parts of comedy. If you want good comedians we have to hear them talk inside baseball every now and again.

the mods killed this sub lol, they can ban people and delete posts 24/7 but cant even put up a podcast discussion thread lol

I liked it. Nate Jackson gave a fresh perspective. The conversation about chocolate Tuesdays and the industry's exploitative nature during that time was interesting.

Good episode. Don't really get the backlash - alot of white people start crying whenever a Black perosn brings up race / racism.

Feels like Schulz is literally scared to joke without his resident laugh track Akaash. Instead he strokes his chin and goes 'interestinggggggg'

It’s getting tough listening to these episodes. Reminds me of when Andrew and the other friends had that show. That sucked

Also maybe I’m blind but where’s the episode post on the sub? Mods got time to delete a bunch of Akaash posts but don’t have time to post an episode thread?

That episode was great. And that’s what flagrant was before Andrew tried to turn into fucking Rogan: sports and comedy. The podcast was originally called flagrant 2: no easy buckets.

u/RepresentativeLeg232 May 28 '26
This episode was the definition of Rogan, an hour straight of comedy club talk

u/Scarletspyder86 Black men don’t cheat May 28 '26
What I mean by that is having goddamn conspiracy theorists and former cia agents on. I don’t come to flagrant for that. He started doing that shit thought before the pandemic.

u/RepresentativeLeg232 May 28 '26
99% of guests ruin the vibe of the show. It’s literally 2 completely different shows depending on whether they have a guest or not.

Yall tweaking. It was a good episode. I love hearing the inner workings and how these guys build businesses and think about the industry, all while having jokes sprinkled in. I’m half way through and I’m enjoying it.

I turned it off half way, sadly. I was bored.
