Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Pickleball is just like tennis, like you're standing on a ping pong table. Paddle is like squash and tennis put together. I don't know what squash is. It's basically there's walls on all sides and you can use the walls. I don't know what squash is. So there's walls on all sides. So you can use the walls and there's like fence and you can hit the ball off the walls. Paddle? Where's the wall?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That wall is in the back, that like clear glass. Oh, it's glass. The scoring is the same? Say again? Scoring is the same? I've never played pickleball, so I wouldn't know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But what happened to your head? Is it okay? No, I just scratched it. I wish there was something funnier about this story, but it's not. Damn.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, why would you get back on? Why would you do that again? It was really tumultuous, your divorce. Trying to keep some shit off the internet. I know, I know. It's a giant diamond ring. It's down here. How long have you been faithful to this girl? Shut up. Only once. Let's see, let's see.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That was deep in the six. Now, just because you brought this up, I didn't bring this up. Was that when you started, you know, kind of seeking other... Holes. Extramarital relationships. Yeah. I mean, it had a big part of it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I did this with Friday Night Lights. I remember that. Like I actually cared about if they were going to win. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Gary, I feel like you're getting back into the iced coffee moment. Like, you're slowly walking ourselves back in. I feel like you are. And we don't even want to be there, but you are walking back into it. Because you have a beautiful new marriage right now. You have twins, right? Yeah. That's amazing. I'm sure that's exactly what you wanted. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
this divorce was so tragic but also so for the way that you describe it you came on brilliant and you were breaking it down dude i was fucking crying laughing do you remember some of the process server oh my god the process server the can you just break down that story a little bit okay If you feel comfortable. No, no, no. It's in the past. Yeah, it's all cleared. This... Okay, go.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
So the process server... Can you break down a process server to the lights?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You said that to her. Yeah, yeah. But she was also trying to serve your ass.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Southwest had a flight and just got on, dipped out. And now things are okay. What do you mean? Like between you two, you're fully divorced.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, because the expectations are low. Very low.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Then I was really ready to settle at that point. But I also understand that feeling. You've worked your ass off for almost 30 years. You've made a bunch of money. And now you're faced with this dilemma. You're like, I might have to pay all this money to an ex-wife. And there goes my security blanket. Now I'm back hustling.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Now I have to do this because I got to pay bills, not because I want to do it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Also, alimony. Like, imagine you're paying something off the top. You're paying 30%, whatever it is, before taxes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I didn't know how they were going to react to me. Yeah. You thought the internet was real.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
So you were going to walk on stage.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, it was weird. It's like, I don't understand if GMs or if NFL GMs are like the most open-minded people or they're racist. Because it's like, if you beat your wife, they'll be like, I, you know. They expect that of black people. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I found all of them out. One of my openers was telling her shit? Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy. How did she convert him? I had already fired him the year before this came out.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, that was a little nuts. Wait, girls were sliding into DMs?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Once they knew that you were single?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It was ugly, pretty. But did you have some fun once you got single? Like, now you're married. You're obviously a good, faithful husband.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
His throat's clear now.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
The road was the road and home was home. Bro, it's so funny. Bro, the way that you would do it was just so funny, bro. I remember once we did a pod. You remember back in the day. I know where you're going with this. This was so... This is when I found out Gary's not a white guy at all. Because we did this pod. He was telling me about his whole life. It was beautiful.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It was inside jokes that we were doing. But it was a one-on-one, really. Yeah, with that restaurant. Yeah. And it was awesome. And then I was like, you want to go grab a drink? He's like, yeah, sure. Let's go grab a drink. I think, did you come as well? Yeah, I think we went to go grab a drink. And then Gary pulled up with a fine-ass chick out of nowhere. But didn't even.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Do you need to message me? Yo, by the way, keep this low. So now I'm sitting down like, is this his assistant?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
comedians are on the road every single weekend so you have a life on the road and then you got a life at home and i think a lot of these guys before camera phones before the internet you know before social media you can kind of do whatever you wanted yeah and there was girls in every city and you would go back to those cities and those girls were still there yeah so yeah you could see how that would definitely happen especially if like things at home weren't great yeah comedians man you know
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It's just easier to get caught up. A girl posts on social media, she's with you, she's tagging you in a picture, your girl's going, who the fuck is this bitch tagging you in a picture?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What do you think happens to Shannon, man? Have you spoken to him since? Are you guys close? And we're cool, but not. It's just so weird. They know he's coming back in September. Bro, I was shocked at how many people immediately came out. And shitted on him? And shitted on him. What do you think that's about?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I'm trying to wrap my head around that because usually when there's an accusation from an OnlyFans girl, it's like, oh, this is some fake shit. She just wants some money. But with Shannon, the immediate response from like big media figures was, hey, what the hell are you doing? You're fucked up. Why are you doing this? I don't listen. I'm the last person to comment on someone's personal life.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And you guys just shit on him.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That's because humans just, we have an issue with that. They're top. You kind of want that spot. So Shannon was viewed as... But then there's people like... I saw Stephen A. Smith kind of talking shit. And Stephen A. Smith is at the top. Did you see that? But I think he wants to be the top top. So he don't want even anybody second or third. That's... That's hate. That's hating, then.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Because if there is a human instinct, there's, like, jealousy and competitiveness, right? And sometimes it clouds our judgment. And we see it happen a lot. You know, like you said, people hating on Kev when he's literally, like, the nicest, most supportive guy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But if you're above somebody and hating on someone and, like, being super critical of somebody below you when they're not even convicted, that feels like hate right there.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
no he wants to run he wants to run you can tell he wants if you want to run you got to morally be like how could you i also think that like shannon's show was you need a clean record to run nowadays yeah perhaps like shannon's show by design was like very clicky and like in a lot of ways toxic like shannon yeah shannon's show like you did the show
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Because the comedians out here are talking shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But, like, I even remember when I was doing it. And I love Shannon. Like, the team was brilliant the way they put it together. It was, like, really brilliant. There's this guy, CJ, who's producing it. They're, like, they're fucking smart. But, like, there were moments where, like, they stopped the interview. And then CJ would hand him a card with questions that were going to be clickable videos.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And be like, here, just ask him these questions. Shannon's reading the question. He don't even know who he's talking about. So it's like the show is designed to be clipped up and put on social media for those type of like more, let's call them messy, messy, messy clips. Yeah. So I wonder if like you're promoting messiness when you're messy, people are less inclined to defend you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Does that make sense? I know what you're saying. Kind of like Jerry Springer. Yeah. He's like, yo, if Jerry did some fuck shit, people are like, yo,
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Why would it feel so bad for you? You made a lot of money on people's fuck shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Jerry wrote that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
All right, guys, let's take a break for a second. One of the most unpatriotic things that I've ever seen is people that refuse to eat cereal outside of breakfast. This is bullshit. This is nonsense. It is communism. It's what our forefathers were fighting against. It's not about tea. It's about the ability to have a delicious bowl of cereal, ideally highly packed with protein, zero sugar.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You know, the nice good things about modern day magic spoon cereal. Having that at any time of day is crucial to the American identity, to the American experience, okay? Now, I know some of you are like, well, where am I going to get milk midday? You don't need that because they have high-protein granola as well you could take with you, okay? True to the Magic Spoon promise.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It's packed with protein. It's so crunchy. It's absolutely amazing, okay? Okay, well, I don't want to carry a little thing of granola around. Sure, they have the treats. Magic Spoon's high-protein treats are crispy, crunchy, airy, okay? An easy way to get 12 grams of protein on the go. So now there's no excuses for you to live like a communist.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What you can do is be a proud American because they come in mouth-watering flavors like marshmallow, chocolate, peanut butter, and dark chocolate, things that don't exist in Europe. You can't even find a marshmallow in Europe. You can't find a dark chocolate in Asia. Definitely not. Nope.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
The point I'm trying to make here is Magic Spoon's brand-new granola packs, 13 grams of protein, and zero added sugars. This is something the European mind could not even conceptualize, okay? Don't even get me started about the rest of the world. They come in delicious flavors like dark chocolate, almond, honey almond, and peanut butter. Peanut butter is indigenous to America. Did you know that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And I'm going, why aren't they filling this? This is weird. Keep in mind, this is a theater, so rows are 20 seats. Easy. Easy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
He runs Vegas.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
In the middle of it, I'm like, alright But it worked out A lot of people who haven't taped something don't know When you're taping anything, it could be a 10 minute set It could be an hour set You're kind of in performance mode You're on autopilot I need to make sure I get these jokes right And every time you do a joke It doesn't go as good as it did in Portland You're thinking about it and editing in your head And then 20 people walk in 40 minutes into your first 40 people walk in To stay in the moment
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It's one very ballsy, but like that's a really a lot of people just ignore it. Yeah. And try to muscle through. That's a courageous thing to do. But you do it because you got chops. That's the thing. Like you've done a lot of shows where people are walking in in the middle.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You know what I mean? Like if you go in that chat or if you went up first or second slot, people are still walking in.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You know what I'm saying?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Wow.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
So he turns it up. He like turns it on when the cameras are on.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Let me see, 97? So 28? 28 years into your career. Wow. Harlem.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You started posts on YouTube, Instagram. White people find you. The gays find you. Now, how does the black community feel about this? They've held you down for 28 years. I've got enough equity in the community. Then it's fine. They're good. So they don't feel like the white people are taking the thing that they started?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Have fun in this 110-degree weather, motherfucker. I want to know early tour stories. Yeah. The first 10 years that you're in the game. How early are you ever with some of the goats?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
We need to turn off the AC or something.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
His guy said that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It was called Fat Tuesday. I thought it was Trippin' on Tuesday.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Because, you know, for years, my audience was only black, right? People knew me from Geico, and they knew me from Brilliant Idiots. And so I do clubs around the country and like the owners would say, which I'm sure they said to you initially, they were like, you look the way you look and your audience does. Like, what exactly is going on? They didn't understand it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
This is a time before the Internet. Like now the Internet is used to like search for talent. Right. Like you almost kind of wait for a comic to prove themselves on the Internet. But before you had to see somebody live. So there was all this tension when like somebody special was in the room because your whole career could change in seven minutes. Yeah. At the mercy of somebody else. Simple as that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
somebody likes you like i'm gonna go with him but so the anxiety just imagine that like it's already nerve-wracking i'm sure when you go up at like a big club on a big night when there's a full crowd you want to do well but imagine you go up and you know that shit damon wayans is in the or keenan ivory's in the audience you're like that's it my career is i'm in movies now i'm in tv shows they'll develop something around me yeah it's crazy how it happens i i had a
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And and it was funny, like once once I did Rogan and like white people started finding out about me, then white people buy tickets in November for a show. And you're in line early on.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What about horror gigs? Because you got success quite early. Did you ever go through that stretch where you're doing the $1,500 weekends? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What about any guys that you opened for that, like, to this day, you're like, I've never seen anybody kill like that? Or any guy you've been on the road? And they don't have to be big, famous guys. They can be.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, yeah. It was like, oh, my God. Impressions have that longevity. It's like, in a way, it's almost like you're watching magic, right? Because it's like, and that is, sometimes the downfall is, like, if you're really good at impressions, like, you don't actually have a joke. We're kind of just laughing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, oh, yeah, you sound like that famous guy. You look like that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But the guys that can do it with a joke. That's what made Eddie so impressive. He could do everything. Eddie could write the bit that even if he didn't do the impression, you'd still laugh at.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What the fuck was that? That would have been my first joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so you're going through this. You're getting success. You're starting to make some money. And then you're headlining on your own. You're not really opening for other guys? It was pretty quick, essentially.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
The rumor was. That's why he got the neck tattoos. He was like, I got to keep these white people away from me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That's cool. That's awesome. Yo, Gary, here's a good question, right? Both of us have done Uncle Shannon's podcast. Yeah. This is really why we wanted you to be on here. Outside of your special being, now you're having this prolific career, being one of the most successful touring comedians in American history. You've been doing this shit 28 years. Yeah. Okay? A lot of people don't realize that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I was like, why are you fucking stopping me? What was it like back in the day when there were fewer channels? and you had something pop on TV. Dude, you're making me sound 18 as fuck right now. No, no, I'm not trying to make you sound old, because I remember, like, Geico days, when there were just fewer things to watch. Yeah. So when people were watching a show, you felt it on the street.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Like, I remember just walking around certain areas, especially, like, tourist areas in New York City. If you're in Times Square, it was like, it felt like every person within an age demographic had watched the show.

With the internet now, it's different. Like, with the internet... There's a little echo chamber. So you'll be walking down the street. Somebody recognizes you. Somebody's like, I don't even know who the fuck that is. It's divided. But back in the day, it was like, if you watched comedy and you watched BET, you watched Comic View. Yeah. So you didn't miss it. Yeah. So you would instantly feel it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah.

Like, I was kind of just thrust into it. That was kind of similar to my journey. Like, I didn't have a long time where I was going and featuring for people. I mean, that's the beauty of stand-up.

People have little bumps and blips, but 28 years is not a game. You go on Shan's podcast. Almost immediately afterwards, some little white girl sues him for a horrible thing.

And then I end up— Living like OnlyFans girls. Guys, I think it's very important to note that while we're recording this, the NYX, the New York NYX, are currently up 3-1. Okay? That's right. They're currently up 3-1. I believe by the time this episode comes out, we have already closed out the Detroit Pistons. We are on our way into the second rounds, okay? This is, to me, an absolute no-brainer.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
The Knicks dominating. These are easy games. We like to keep it close for ratings because this is a city that understands entertainment. It's very important to us. You are welcome. Everybody, oh, the Knicks, this call, that call. Yeah, you're welcome. Okay? You stayed. You watched that game.

Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You were allowed to do it because for some reason your wife is okay with you watching sports but not anything else or not scrolling your phone. Why is that? Let's not ask questions. The point I'm trying to make here, okay, is that this NBA playoffs is shaping out to be absolutely fantastic. Yeah. Okay, outside of watching Boston play, which is like watching paint dry.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I can't believe a team so good can be so fucking boring to watch. It has been fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. What are we going to do? Are we going to put some money up? Yes, we are.

Or is he going to pass the baton to the next man that's going to carry the league on his shoulders for another decade? Who knows? Who knows? You can bet on it and you'll do it over there at stake.

No way.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Was there any concern during that time that you're like, okay, I have a promising career? That's why I got out. That's why I told him I got to move out. And how did that combo go?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Okay, fair enough.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

So he was worried that, like, you could potentially snitch and then he would be fucked up. I don't know. I would be worried. I don't know. Trust one white guy. I'll tell you a cool story. You get life in prison the second he moves out of your house. Yeah, yeah.

Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
A visual. I was going with that. This was not the visual you think. He was probably giving them a feel of percentage. They come out of my room. They leave my room. The guy's doing life in prison. He was probably really earnest with those girls. You guys deserved it.

No, I know, but then you have to adjust your lifestyle. Yeah, now you're back to a two-bedroom.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But your new house doesn't look like that, I imagine. No. So there has to be an adjustment period. And like, are all these people that were, you know, kind of, you know, living the good life around you, then they see your new house. Are they looking at you differently? Do they think?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Okay, what myth? As a white delegate. Thank you so much. Now, knowing you're the first white guy, knowing you're the first white guy, do you ever, are you ever like, let me just do some wild shit and then just blame it on being white? Do you ever do that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You know what I mean? And is that by design? What's that? The freak off. So the freak off is what happened in your house. I'm like this.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Like when people talk about the Diddy shit, are you like 100% some weird things were happening at those parties? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Like shit that ever made you feel uncomfortable?

He wasn't a small dude. Does life get more boring... After that for you, like, you get married, you have a family, which is not boring at all, obviously, it's incredible, but, like, you're living this insane movie for about six or seven months. Yeah. And then you go to have a very kind of traditional home, you're on the road, you have success, like...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What is happening in your brain at that point in time? Are you like less anxious? Like you must be a little nervous. You're living with a drug dealer. He's throwing parties.

If they've already mastered the wallet, why would they stop there? You go to other things that you push it in. i.e. a suitcase, your backpack. They just dropped the extra travel pack vacuum bags.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More

Do you think that that played a part in your... acceptance in the community outside of just in LA specifically. Oh, a hundred percent. I was with the guy. So you're with the guy and it's like, you're this white dude that you're in, you're in the black comedy circles, but which at some point in time, when you start to get success, there might be like some pushback.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I'm sure you've experienced that in your, in your career. Like you've had massive success as a white dude in black comedy. But do you think at that point in time, it was like, nah, he's cool. He's with him. There was this co-sign.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
There's probably a lot of black girls that fucked another white dude after you because you represented us well. So there's a lot of white dudes that got black pussy that might have never gotten it because of you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What happened? Like, how do you guys think you developed that? He really seems to care for you. He really seems to look out for you. Facts. And where does that come from? He just said, I don't know. He always said like. I never ask questions. I never. Do you think that you're like the one person in his life that just made him feel like a regular guy? Maybe.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
He's this incredibly powerful, feared human being from the stories you tell me. Right. And you got to carry that weight every single interaction you have. Like he doesn't get led into a club. He has to make it known that you can't do that to a person like him. Not him. And at every point in time, I imagine he's thinking about how he exists within the hierarchy of humans he's around.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That bouncer gets fired. That gets sent around. Hey, don't mess with this guy. It's constantly, don't mess with this guy. And then when he's hanging out with you, maybe he feels like he can kind of let that ego go a little bit. But he used to love the comedy clothes, bro. He was there every night. But outside of the comedy clubs.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I'm trying to understand why he's so protective of you and why you become a representation of him.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was he also joking around? Did you see a different side of him? Yeah, I saw a different side of him. And what was that side? Uh... I don't know. I saw him. He kind of let his guard down. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what is it about you that allows him to do that? I don't know. It's a weird thing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
No!
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Right. I wonder if you being an outsider, not just you being a white guy, but you just not being involved in his life.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
world at all allows him to let the guard down because if he's like getting vulnerable and telling some random person his crew things that make him nervous or he's afraid of that starts to go around and then all of a sudden people start to think yo he's actually scared or he's this he's vulnerable but with you you're this outside it's like you almost get to be like uh Tony Soprano's therapist
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
He doesn't have to prove he's hard. He doesn't have to constantly prove he's hard all the time, which is probably a very relaxing moment in someone's life. I didn't think about that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I can't imagine the pressure of every interaction in your life. You have to let everybody in that room know that you are the baddest motherfucker on the planet. That's stressful to even consider. He doesn't get let in the club and he has to go. I'm sure on some level he's just like, fuck, if I don't make a thing out of this, they're going to think I still don't know what was going to happen.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
He was going to make a situation.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More

Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
This was one of the greatest clips in internet history. This was one of the greatest clips in internet history. You need to get this clip up. It's brilliant. I'm starting to sweat. You've got to start from the beginning, beginning, though. That's the thing. You've got to put the volume all the way up. If we repost it everywhere, it has 5 million views every time. You might be a black comic.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
yeah i would say quake was a window i wanted to follow back to any uh oh this is a bad question but uh there's part of me that's like is there any set that you had that was just like absolutely destructive and then somebody that was big big big just could not step into afterwards Yeah. We don't have to name names. I don't want to name names.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Okay, let's go. This is while Gary is happily married. I'm going to get you back to cheating, bro, this year.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
most of the comics was cool it's so weird how like i saw that in new york too like we would do the black rooms in new york when we're coming up and i just didn't understand why it was so divided yeah especially like you're talking about the the black comedy world yeah no like why comics white and black yeah there'd be like these white comics that would be doing open mics they'd be trying to get up at the clubs and they would do these open mics that were horrible
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And the black rooms, this is what I'll say about the black rooms. If you show up and you want to get up, they'll get you up. That's why I started doing them. They're way more accepting than the clubs are not going to make you send them a tape, go do this whole fucking rigmarole. And then open mics in the city are just literally that. It's just comedians there. There's no regular audience member.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
So in my mind, I was just like, well, I want to go up wherever. It's not like weird to perform for black people. I grew up in New York City. But what I saw was like mostly the non-black comics in New York. Would not even venture to the black rooms, which is crazy because you figure don't you want to go up in front of people?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah. And also one thing that I think really taught me in the in the black rooms is like the black rooms. They were not there for you to try your little misdirection math problem. Do you know what I mean? Like, the white audience sometimes will entertain. They'll be like, oh, I see what you did there. Yeah, like, oh, I got it. And the black room's like, oh, yeah, okay, good, whatever.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Oh, so you didn't kill him? So I stabbed him. Oh, I guess you stabbed him. It was important that you acknowledge that we're in this room. And I want to go back to that moment where Floyd comes back in. Floyd walks into your special taping. You have to be present in the room. That's something I learned in the black rooms. You have to be present in the room.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
If you are not present, they immediately will just check out on you. They're like, are you going to pretend I'm not here? The emotion has to be real. You have to be present. If something weird is happening, you have to call it out.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And I think it's something that's really helped me in my career that I don't think I would have developed in the white rooms at all, or whatever you call them, the mainstream rooms. And it's like, because they'll give you a little bit of leeway. Like, the joke will go over, and you'll be like, oh, I guess that one didn't go over. And then they'll be like, all right, well, what's the next one?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
There's this politeness that exists, right? Yeah. But yeah, it's interesting. Like you, you develop this like really important tool for comedy, which is being able to stay present in the moment. Not every show is going to be polite where people are like, they waited two weeks to get, to get that ticket to go to the cellar and they're ready to go.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And they're waiting with their hands clasped like this.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You know, it's yeah. I wish more, I wish more comics, especially when they're younger would go into the black rooms. I think they'll learn a lot more.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Really?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I just want to go.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I don't think, I don't think, again, I'm curious, you know, obviously I want it to be successful just because I love you, but like, I don't think that like staying away from race jokes would change any dynamic. I actually think going on pods and stuff will communicate to more people that at the end of the day, you're a storyteller. Especially when you live with a drug dealer in LA.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
White people are interested in that shit. White people watch The Wire. So to me, it's just about an education process. You're a storyteller at the end of the day. White people are probably seeing you in these black spaces, and then they might go, oh, maybe he's a comic for black people and not for me. White people are a little concerned about that shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
They want to watch black shit from afar, but they don't want to be in it a lot of times.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
No, the biggest consumer of hip-hop music is white people, right? I mean, there's like, you know, population things that affect that as well.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
To defend white people sometimes, there also is a shame. It's like, am I appropriating this? There's sometimes a slap on the wrist if white people do get too interested. They're like, oh, you're going to take this shit from us? Which I understand from black perspective as well, which is like, they have seen that happen.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
White people putting cornrows in and all of a sudden trying to make it some white shit. So I understand both sides of it. But there is a thing with white people. They want to comfortably watch something that they have nothing to do with. White people are really interested in that kind of shit. But...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But I think the stories that you tell, especially the ones from today, my assumption is people are going to love this. And they're going to be like, I want to go check out Gary. Is that what the stand-up is like? Oh, yeah, it's way better.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Gary's been coming on brilliant idiots throughout the entire destruction of his marriage. It probably started in that moment where you couldn't swallow coffee while trying to pretend to be faithful.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
In the moment, you got it? Yeah. They were like, you got it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I've never heard a story where someone just gives someone the role. Usually you have to get producer's approval.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
The director and producer is there.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Is Eddie in the room while you're filming the scene?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Back of the head is crazy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I think Eddie did everything right. I think there's a lot of times comedians look at Eddie and they're like, oh, why aren't you getting back on stage? Everybody wants to see you on stage. Or Eddie, why aren't you doing this? Eddie, why aren't you doing that? For me, I look at Eddie and I'm like, okay, he has a huge compound where his entire family can live on it. He has all these kids.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
He wants to spend time with his kids. And then for a day job, he goes and makes a movie for $10 or $20 million. Yeah. And it's only in like the comedian's mindset where we're so yearning for more. We're never satisfied that we look at Eddie Murphy's career and go, why doesn't he still do it? He figured it out. He did it all.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And now he gets to hang out with his family, which is what we should fucking do.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Shannon, call him. Call him, Shannon. What the fuck? Poor Shannon. How do you think Shannon comes back from this? I mean, I think it'd be all right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah. And you're allowed to be into wild shit. Yeah. The thing, the weird thing is that a lot of people seem to be almost hoping that it happened. That's the thing that I never like. No, I like Shannon. I like Shannon. And like an accusation is an accusation at the end of the day. It's like innocence will prove guilty. So this is an innocent man.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And you want to hope that these things didn't happen. We should all want her to be lying. Yeah. Because if she's lying, that means a woman wasn't assaulted. We should all hope. Right. Women are not assaulted.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Like, that should be where our minds are, at least. He is an innocent man right now. And if the girl's not doing a criminal suit, she's just suing for money, I'm a little suspicious.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You want that girl to not have been for you. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I mean, you crushed that one. That was really funny.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What was about to happen? You know what I mean? That's a different level of confidence, though. To film it? To film it and want it out. Because usually you film something, you watch yourself, you're like, oh, man, I look way different in my head. Your body is like, whoa.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah, he said, drop the tape.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
But, yeah, free Shannon, man. I hope he's okay.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
is he still doing eps uh no i don't know he's still doing nightcap i think he's still doing his stuff he's just not doing the espn right yeah he dropped him with obviously it was tape but he dropped on terrence crawford and somebody else since all this shit came out so episodes are still dropping yeah what do you think about what do you think about kanye's new song man are you uh did you listen to that at all no don't know any lyric none
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I mean, it's on Twitter. Some of the cousin shit? Oh, what is that one? Something about his cousin.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I think he was giving fellatio to his cousin. Like blood, cousin?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
that's a great point is it blood not that it matters it shouldn't that does matter well yeah it does your mom can't be sisters with also minorities just call friends cousins sometimes yeah no that's the point he's making but really aggravated by a bunch a bunch of us were assuming that it was blood cousin but you're right it could just be a friend of his and they were just sucking each other's dicks at a young age which is great friendship it's still odd
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That is odd. Are we going to listen to it?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Yeah. So hang with my cousin reading dirty magazines.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You've got to be early 20s at this point, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You should have known. No, that was crazy. You were crazy for that. Like, why didn't you just swallow? What was happening? What was happening?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And he didn't know me. I didn't know him. Was he cool when you guys were on set? Was he nice? Yeah, he was cool.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Oh, yeah. Was he talking about you?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I ran with it. I go, fuck it. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I didn't comment on Kumo D. To his credit, you said in your latest special, there are no race jokes. So you did listen to him. I did. This was before the song came out, though. See? So that is the profound effect that he has on white comedians.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
Bro, you've never had a young kid come up to you like, dude, my dad is the biggest fan. All the time. All the time, brother. That's a reality check right there, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That's crazy. Anyway, you're a big football fan, right? What did you make of the Shador Sanders thing? Do you care about college ball at all, or are you just Bengals?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
That was hilarious. It was so organic. You had this crazy divorce. It's sad, but it's over now. Everything's fine. That's funny.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
You've had your audience for decades, right? There was a time, which I don't think is currently happening, where there's a little more sensitivity around comedy. But when you have your own audience, they understand you. So you don't feel like you have to change your jokes at all, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
What was the joke again?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
And what did they say? How did they say it?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
you know blah blah blah and i think a lot of times the protective parents are loved ones and they just they see somebody who obviously is going through something very difficult and they're like i just want to protect them from the evils of the world without realizing that maybe they would laugh at it as well that part i think that's one of the beautiful things of the love on the spectrum show to be honest i don't know if you've seen it which is like you they showcase how funny they are intentionally and unintentionally and they show the family also laughing and it gives you this kind of like freedom to be like hey okay as long as we're not bullying these people yeah they're
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
They do funny shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
It's not.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
I'll tell you that. Wow.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
So you were able to do the show because of it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Gary Owen SWEATS talking Shannon Sharpe Allegations, Living with LA’s Most Dangerous Gangster & More
