Chapter 1: Why are women upset with their men?
what's up everybody welcome to flagrant i hope everybody had a wonderful valentine's day i posted something on instagram uh recently and women had quite the reaction to it i posted this on instagram not thinking it would get much 12 million views later it turns out women aren't that happy with us and by us i don't just mean alex mark akash and andrew i mean just men in general it seems like there's some frustration let's play the clip so that everybody has some context yeah
Everything about effort. Like, why is the effort doesn't matter when I go to work? What is this? I want you to write a card. What are you talking about?
Write a card.
Explain to me the effort shit, right?
If your girl orders food for you or cooks food for you, which one means more?
I like it when she cooks, but if she was like, I'd rather just order and I'm totally cool with that. I just like the fact that she put, uh, she like. The reaction from women about this clip was absolutely insane. You know, we could have had a woman on the podcast, but that would go against our principles. So I think it's just up to the boys to figure out what is going on.
Are these women frustrated with us? It would appear so, dude. It would appear so.
Yeah. Those are just the lonely ones celebrating Galentine's Day.
What is Galentine's Day?

Chapter 2: What does it mean to 'make an effort' in a relationship?
Chapter 3: How has the 'girl boss' movement affected women?
When I showed him them shoes, he was like shaking as he opened it.
Because I thought he was going to be like vibrators and dildos inside or something like that. But it was a real pair of paddle shoes. Anyway, I think it's worth to have this discussion. It seems as if, you know, women feel like we're not putting in the effort that we should be putting in.
Yeah. Yeah. I even saw a random TikTok recently after this conversation.
Yeah.
We were talking about it. And some girl was like, I can't even go on a date with a guy if he's not going to put in a reservation at a restaurant. Yes. She said, that's a red flag. If you're not going to make a reservation, we're not going on a date.
So this is interesting. You brought this up yesterday when we were discussing it. There are these things that have become very popular for women to talk about. Red flags. You said the ick.
Yeah.
And all these things, I think, are really downstream from women wanting guys to put in effort. Yeah.
right now here's where it gets interesting and we do need to bring in the girls for this so maybe grab them but um this is this is okay this is a kind of true thing women's greatest fear i believe is being alone men's greatest fear is being with a woman we don't want to be with yeah okay well you can couch the women one but i think they're also a little afraid of like getting murdered and stuff

Chapter 4: What is the controversy surrounding Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia?
The effort you made today was phenomenal. Come on, bro.
Interracial effort is my big thing, okay? Not intergender. I don't believe in that.
That was a great display of romance.
Right? Yeah. I had no fucking clue that a playlist was thoughts. Y'all like playlists?
And I think I do a lot of thoughtful things. That didn't even cross my mind. It's anything that seems like you're paying attention.
Yes. But there's the thing. We just pay. Yes. And that's your guy's fault.
We want you to pay. Exactly.
Pick one. Exactly. If paying didn't matter, I really believe if paying didn't matter to you guys at all, then we would have to go the extra mile to elicit that same reaction. Exactly. But unfortunately, paying for things works.
No, but hold on. The paying is like a generosity thing. And I think biologically, we haven't evolved over time. We still want to make sure.

J-A-S-L-E-E-N.
Just lean with it. We need to make, just lean with it. Rock with it. We need to make her the biggest fucking TikTok superstar on the planet. I love this. Okay. You guys saw this one, her imitating me, right? My mom has the biggest titties. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
Bitch. All right, bitch. Shut the fuck up. Sit the fuck down, bitch. This is actually good, dude. Make fun of other Indians. Are you Gujarati, you cheap little bitch? Are you Punjabi, you dumb fucking bitch? Are you Maloo, you dark bitch?
It's me. It's me.
I'm just like saying what he would say. I don't say that. Oh, look at me. I'm Akash. I can't sleep.
I'm so tired. Just lean with it. We need to make that the biggest TikTok account in the world. I just want to see. I love that. If you thought you weren't sleeping now... Wait until your wife is making more money. Guys, you should already know this, but if you do not, March 4th on Netflix, my new special Life is coming out. I'm very excited for you all to see it.
It's the thing I'm most proud of ever creating in my entire life. Thank you to every single one of you that came out to see the shows on the tour. If you were able to see those shows, watch that shit anyway. And if you weren't, here's the opportunity for you to see what that hour is like. Again, thank you guys all so much. Spread the word.
or running it up, or watching it as a family, go to Netflix right now. Hit that Remind Me button. That's helpful. Apparently, it tells the algorithm that people are interested, and it sends it to more people. So that'd be very helpful. But thank you guys so much for all the support and making this a possibility. So Life is coming out on Netflix March 4th. We are watching as a family.

Chapter 6: How does dating differ in big cities versus small towns?
There you go.
That is funny.
You didn't actually like hanging out. You just didn't want to be alone.
You don't watch the TikToks of my wife?
This guy's thoughtless. You just didn't want to be alone. That's all. I didn't know they were that funny, man. I'll be honest. I will subscribe. I just got TikTok back on my phone. Oh, yeah?
Because I had a new phone. You didn't get TikTok until like two days ago.
So now I'm locked in. Can I ask you a question about the rather be with somebody even if they suck? Do you think it's rooted in biology and the biological clock?
Yes and no. Hold on. I think yes because it depends on how old you are.
Let's let Tanya answer because her clock is on.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of modern dating apps?
But to that point, would you rather work, you got a guy who maybe makes maybe less, maybe a lot less money than you, but does all the thoughtful shit, or you do the thoughtful shit and they work? Which would you rather?
They do the thoughtful shit and they work. I mean, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
no that's the truth that's the real truth it depends how good their job is honestly like I think if they're like really high up then like great I'll do the thoughtful shit but yeah I think most people probably want to like be in love and have someone do the thoughtful stuff yeah wait a minute so if the guy has like a really important job where it's very time consuming you'll do all that kind of stuff yeah I'll do all the home stuff if you're saying everything's paid for you're saying that
Until you guys get comfortable and then that shit goes out the fucking window.
I'll tell you right now, I don't want that.
No, we know.
We know that.
Why don't we even call Tanya? Tanya, you should be synonymous.
Seriously call Tanya and you'll get better answers.

Chapter 8: How is marriage and alimony perceived in today's society?
So this has to be your decision if any time you want to go back to work. Obviously, like, I grew up in a family where both parents work. Now, was I... Was I supportive of it? A thousand percent. Like the person I trust more than anything in the world is going to be the one looking after my daughter. Like, yeah, that's the ideal scenario of the world, but I'm not going to like restrict her.
Right.
But hypothetically, there are, if there are guys that go, you can't work, I need to get the baby.
Sometimes it's, they prefer it for the, for family purposes. Sometimes if you like actually do the math, it almost becomes more expensive to hire nannies and everything than the mother's salary. Yeah.
Yeah.
At that moment in time. So she quits her job. She stays at home. And then let's say when she does, if she decides to go back to work eventually after you've had three kids, whatever, she's now 10 years behind in her career versus where she would have been.
So then that's where the growth of when you got married versus where you are now comes into play, which is not fair to just get, let's say, half of like when you started.
So this is the way I look at these things. I think that's a, I think it's like a great, like more nuanced point. I think that there's a certain number where we don't need to worry about alimony. So let's say for example, like you got, you have $20 million between the two of you, you guys get divorced 10 and 10. You'll figure it the fuck out. Yeah, yeah. You don't need alimony as well.
No, that's 100%.
