Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh recount harrowing near-death moments, including Andrew's ego-driven survival after drowning, a de-escalated gang standoff, and Mark Landry witnessing a fatal highway crash. They detail Andrew's license-less Las Vegas lane confusion, a Costa Rican ATV cliff scare, and a childhood California slide, contrasting these with disturbing parkour videos. The episode concludes by promoting Shane Gillis's "Walked Through the Fire" special, arguing his controversial comedy allows audiences to reframe past malice as mere performance, mirroring Mike Tyson's redemption arc.

Here is the exclusive clip.
What do you think was your closest near-death experience in your whole life?
I almost drowned.
That was it?
Yep.
Really?
Yeah, I thought it would be better than that.
I mean, I should be dead.
It's pure luck I'm alive.
I don't think people realize how close I was to death.
Yeah, I still got stood up.
Yeah.
I thought you were under maybe like five seconds.
No, I took a breath of water.
I had no more air.
I went to take a breath and then water went into my body.
And then you got free.
You got way washed it free.
Were you coughing like crazy when you came out of it?
No, I was just, I was weird.
This is so weird, but like I kept thinking like, oh my God, I can't imagine what Emma's going to think and feel.
She's just going to keep looking and notice I'm not coming up.
And I kept playing the scenario of her going, oh fuck.
Like, do I go run out there and get him?
Like, how do I get attention?
There's only one other guy in the water.
Like, what the fuck?
And I kept seeing that play through my head.
And then.
That ego kept you alive.
You're like, yo, I don't want anything on pussy.
Yep.
Drinking all this water.
Basically, yeah, I think that was the closest.
I don't know.
What about you guys?
What was the closest life or death?
What's yours?
I mean, I have a few.
Do you really?
Yeah.
What's the closest?
When I had a gun pointed at my face, pointing blank range.
Yeah.
Hypothetically, you had a gun pointed at your face.
Hypothetically?
Well, I don't know if you want to.
Okay.
So what happened?
None.
It was just like two gang rivalry situations.
Stupid shit.
I didn't even have any beef with the guy.
He just came up on you?
No, it was like we were together like group on group.
Okay.
And like, dude, took out a gun.
I happened to be like close to the front.
So it's like pointed right at me.
And then nothing happened.
Nobody took it.
What did he say?
What did you say?
Nah, it's like, nah, we're not taking it there.
Whatever.
Chill, chill, chill, chill.
It was a whole bunch of just like, chill, And then like one person was like, oh, cops are coming.
And then we all just ran.
On both sides, it was like, chill, Yeah.
Whoa.
Oh, damn.
And why do you think he picked you?
Nah, I just, I circumstance from where I was standing.
Like, he would have been pointing at anybody.
He was just pointing at the group, and I just happened to be like right there in front of it.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Okay, Mark.
I think my closest was driving back from a soccer game.
Oh, no, driving back from a baseball game on the highway like 12 o'clock at night and then two headlights coming at my car in the opposite direction on the highway.
And so literally like probably six feet of distance, like swerved out of the way.
Like the minivan almost like flipped.
Like I like felt the whole shit like go crazy.
Like all the shit in the car flew.
Oh my god.
And then I almost swerved out of control and then just kept driving.
And then the woman was in the car like on like off meds or whatever ended up like crashing into like the side of the wall and died.
She died?
Yeah.
In that interaction?
I mean, I didn't see it.
I didn't see it, but it was like half a mile down the road.
But like going the wrong direction on the highway.
But it wasn't because you swerved.
No.
She was just going full speed down the highway.
I swerved.
Oh my God.
Coming like around a bend.
Killed a lady, bro.
I guess.
I mean, if I hit her, maybe I would have stopped her from hitting the wall.
So yeah, I you could have slowed her down.
You fucking killed her, dude?
I mean, yeah, I was in my van.
Van life.
It's van life, dog.
Holy shit, Marky Landry out here, dog.
This is crazy.
That was good.
But yeah, that's a true story.
Coming back from Fort Myers.
Now, did she die because of you swerving or did she keep driving for a while and then another?
Yeah, she drove for a half a mile and then like the road turned and she just like swerved off.
So she didn't even notice that you were driving right into her.
No, she was like out of her mind, like debilitated.
I don't know what.
Whoa.
I almost ran into a car straight once.
On what?
On your car?
On Vegas.
It was a two-way highway.
I was going from LA to Vegas.
And you were on the wrong way.
You definitely.
I've told you this story, right?
No.
Oh, I went to the left lane because I thought I was like, wow, there's way less traffic on this side, right?
And then I was driving straight, and like my friends are kind of like passed out.
And one of my friends is next to me in the front seat, and he hears me go, he hears me go, that's weird.
He's got white taillights.
So and then my friend kind of goes, huh?
Yeah, it's just weird.
That guy's white taillights.
I didn't know you could like customize your taillights.
And, you know, if you're both traveling at 70 miles per hour, shit gets close to you, quick.
Quick.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, so all of a sudden, I was like, am I speeding?
Like, I'm catching up to this motherfucker.
Like, and he goes, bro, what the fuck are you doing?
And then swerve back into the other lane.
There's no other cars there, so it was easy.
It wasn't that close.
But it's shocking how quickly the cars meet.
You're such an idiot.
But I was just, I knew nothing about cars.
Both times?
Oh, yeah.
I didn't even have a license.
Both times.
He almost killed himself.
Yeah, a person tried to attack me, a gungun point of your head.
You're your own worst enemy, dude.
Yeah.
Both times.
You got to protect you.
I put myself in this situation.
I really did put myself in this situation.
That's a great point.
Dude, other life or death experiences.
I have another time.
I was in Costa Rica with friends and we were like in the town.
We weren't in like the commercial area.
Which I don't remember the town.
This is back in college.
Okay.
This was, I know we were in the surf park.
Tamarindo.
Probably Tamarindo.
But it was a bunch of surfers there.
But so we rented ATVs and we went out to like one of the beaches that was a little bit far away.
And they told us, like, yo, you have to get back before sundown because there's no lights.
You won't be able to drive going back or whatever.
Of course, we stayed later than we were supposed to.
And so it's like a convoy of maybe like four or five of us all ATV'd.
And then we started to get a little bit too far apart.
And so the person in the front was like, he stopped so then we could all regroup.
And so when we stop, like, oh, mind you, there's like dust flying up.
ATV Ride on the Cliffs00:02:10
So you really can only see the person's brake light.
That's it.
You're just following brake lights.
Brake lights are off.
No, no, you're just following brake lights.
And so it's like, it's like, as long as you're in brake light, you're good.
When I stopped, we're on a cliff.
My wheel was this far away from the edge and it was a straight dropdown.
So had we not stopped maybe like a couple seconds later, I would have been gone.
Whoa.
Yeah.
That shit was wild.
And you didn't even notice because it was so dark.
No, I had no idea.
Like, you can't, it's pitch black.
All you see is just dust and brake lights.
You didn't even know you were near a cliff?
No.
I mean, I didn't even know the segue was, right?
That's how the segue guy died.
Wait, what happened?
The guy that founded this segue died because he was like segwaying around the cliff and literally drove off a cliff.
Yeah.
It was wild.
Son, when I was going to look at colleges in California, this cliff thing makes me, it reminds me.
All right, guys, we're going to take a break from this exclusive Patreon clip because I got to tell you how to keep your dicks hard.
And this is how you're going to do it with blue motherfucking chew.

This is the one that we rock with.
And this is the one that we satisfy our loved ones with.
You got a side chick you need to satisfy.

Now, let's get back to this exclusive Patreon clip that you could find the full episode and more episodes at patreon.com/slash flagrant2.
Join an asshole army.
See you soon.
I was going to look at college in California with my dad.
And you know, the highways.
Have you driven on like the thing it's called like a PCH or something like that?
It's the highway.
Yeah.
So it's like it's right on the water.
Yeah, it's fire.
It's beautiful.
It's a little more inconvenient, but it's just stunning.
Funny Slip of the Tongue00:08:33
And you're like driving along these cliffs, right?
And these huge cliffs.
So we stopped because there's a couple like lookouts, right?
Is that like that big highway in Europe that everybody says like you can drive really fast?
Audubon.
Oh, no, no.
This is not speed.
Like specifically scenic.
Yeah.
It is on the coast, like on the cliff's edge looking at the water.
Oh, okay.
And you're probably going slower for that reason.
You're like, let me just look at this.
You're at the edge of the world, right?
And just hundreds of feet down straight into the water, right?
You're dead if you fall in because there's just rocks and that kind of shit.
So I went to the lookout, and then I wanted to go on the rock part, right?
And you know how the rock part essentially is not just straight like that.
It kind of like tilts and then you're over.
So I was on this part right here.
And I slipped.
And once you slip after a certain gradient, there's nothing you can do.
Yeah, you can't hold on to anything.
There's nothing right.
There's nothing to hold on to.
There's no branches, nothing.
It's a slow slide until you're death.
Oh, shit.
So I slipped and then I kind of sprawled because I felt like if I had like the most surface area possible, it would be harder for me to continue sliding.
And I just slip, I just kind of like spread out, I picked my feet back up, and I slowly pushed myself back.
But it was one of the, and my dad didn't even realize really what was happening, but it was one of those moments where I was like, fuck, like, if I, if I was maybe a foot further, there'd be nothing I could do, and I would slowly slide and pick up momentum until I just fell off the side of the fucking cliff.
Oh, fuck.
That's great.
Kind of.
Am I describing it?
Yeah, I'm picturing you like almost like star.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Inching your way back.
Yeah.
And you already have a fear of heights.
Terrified.
You ever see the videos of the kids in Russia that like hang off this edge of the skyscraper?
You saw the Chinese kid, right?
That died?
Doing what?
There was like a Chinese influencer that was doing a campaign for something, and he had to go off the side of the building.
And I guess they're not the best at gymnastics.
So like he goes off the side of the building and he's just hanging off the side of the building.
That's part of it.
Yeah.
And something happens where he's hanging off the side of the building and he's used to doing it off of a window or something, but where his feet can't grip and get enough traction to pull himself back up.
So he tries and his feet slip, his feet slip, his feet slip, and then he's just hanging there and then runs out of strength.
And you just watch, and then he just falls off.
He just lets go and then just goes, falls to his death.
Holy shit.
Like that's crazy.
That's worth watching if you can get that up.
No, I don't want to see a guy die.
I mean, you don't see the death part.
Yeah, you see the start of it.
It's like Spider-Man.
It's not worth watching.
That shit, I can't take in shit like that.
I don't want to see a guy struggling for life.
Is this it?
No, this is the parkour shit.
This shit is so dumb to me.
Oh my god, I can't look at it.
Oh my god, yeah, you can't.
I can't.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
I mean, they got fire outfits too.
Yeah, they do.
Super hypey, right?
Like, this is the one white person activity that I think is kind of lit.
Like, y'all have really stupid shit.
And actually, no, this is stupid, but it looks lit.
All the other stuff y'all do, surfing, camping, getting kidnapped, that shit is white boys are crazy, bro.
Yo, this is wild.
If you guys are listening, you have to just watch a video for this part just to see.
Oh, my God.
Like, it's not worth it.
Oh, I mean, this angle is absolutely phenomenal.
Mark wants to do this shit right now.
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of hard.
I want to do the heights.
The heights is too much.
Don't do this.
Don't do this, please.
The heights is too much.
Nah, the heights.
It's fire.
Oh, we might have to.
I mean, it's just insane.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
My balls.
Oh, that was fire.
That was super fly.
All right, now we're inside.
Now we're good, right?
I mean, this is a video game.
We're watching a video game.
I mean, people really did this.
There's no way this is all one take.
Oh, that's lit.
They definitely got a fucking burnt hole in their pants, though.
Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, no one went in there.
Now it's lit, bro.
Oh, my God.
Let's do this.
I'm going to Brooklyn, too.
Where are we going after this?
Because it's a parkour?
Yeah, we're in Parker.
Let's go.
You shot the special now.
You can get parkour.
He gets crazy now, bro.
Yo, I'm with that, man.
I'm with that.
Also, I just saw the thumbnail.
Everybody, go check out Shane Gillis's special, man.
We love Shane, man.
Shane was great.
Came out to the taping, show support.
And go check out my man Shane.
Great dude and deserves this success.
Walked through the fire.
Over a million views.
We forgot to mention on the last one, but he's coming on the pod either next week or the week after.
Oh, yeah.
So I figured we blow it up actually then.
Let's give him the Alex Jones treatment.
Yeah, we got to go all in.
Get him sauced up.
Yeah, don't sauce it?
No.
Okay.
But yeah, but check him out, man.
He's a great dude, great comic, man.
And he walked through the fire.
I was telling him, bro, I was like, listen now, when you start to blow off of this success, I was like, this is the worst metaphor for it or the worst comparison, but just hear me out.
Like, you know how Mike Tyson came back from the rape?
Like, he went to prison for rape.
Yeah.
And now he is invincible to anything because we've forgiven or accepted or don't believe that happened.
So now there's nothing you could pin on him.
Now he can say whatever he wants, do whatever he wants, be whoever the fuck he wants, and he's uncancelable because the worst thing that was stuck on him, we've moved past.
You know what I'm saying?
So he's being rebirthed, right?
Whereas, like, so it's like, Shane is like, we already, people already thought you were the worst type of human being, and then they found out who you really are.
And they're like, oh, now you say any fucking racist joke or anything.
People aren't going to go, well, see, he was right.
They're going to be like, no, he was just joking.
He's actually a really funny guy.
We got him wrong.
So there's this extreme freedom that comes with not apologizing your way back in, walking through the fire and coming out the other end.
Do you feel there was a moment in your career where that happened?
I think that like, I think I didn't have like cancellations and that stuff, but I think I was like labeled by certain people in wrong ways.
But I think that by sticking to my guns and never apologizing for it and just continuing to do the comedy that I do.
And then finally releasing comedy and then all these people who saw me say wild shit and then they saw it justified in the comedy, all of a sudden they started to see me when I said those things differently.
And they're like, oh no, he just and people come up to me and be like, bro, once I saw your comedy, I started to understand you on a pod and shit now.
I understand it's just jokes and everybody gets these jokes.
And like, I went from a guy who had like the crazy labels to a guy that from, you know, all people from different like cultures, walks in life are like, please make fun of our shit.
Oh, wow.
Right?
Like, by just continuing to do the thing that I was doing.
That is funny.
So I'm looking at Shane like, yeah, you are continuing to do the shit you do.
You're just making fuck up jokes that are really smart, really brilliant and funny, most importantly.
And now they get it.
Yeah.
And it's just really cool to see that happen, man.
