Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh dissect the Astroworld tragedy, weighing Travis Scott's reckless endangerment plea against unfounded conspiracy theories linking his name to occult symbols. They debate whether Scott should have halted the show after seeing an ambulance, contrasting police warnings with his claim that fainting is normal. While one host rejects satanic ritual claims as baseless, the other speculates on devil imagery, noting Fortnite's removal of Scott due to real-life death optics. Ultimately, they conclude Scott will likely settle with families rather than face prison, highlighting the dangerous line between artistic expression and negligence. [Automatically generated summary]

Travis Scott's Wedding Stunts00:05:06
What up people?
Sheltie here and you guys are about to listen to a clip from our weekly Patreon episode.
If you want to sign up to our Patreon, support the flagrancy, support what we are doing.
Completely uncensored, flagrant content.
You go to patreon.com slash flagrant2.
With no more interruptions, here is the exclusive clip.
I think Travis really got to come out and say, guys, I don't think you know how often people pass out at concerts.
And that's what I thought this was.
Somebody a little bit too intoxicated, right?
Someone a little bit too high, right?
Someone maybe just dehydrated, which is quite normal at concerts, happens all the time.
But if there's video of him looking and seeing one of these people who ends up dead, passed out, and then deciding to continue the concert, he's going to get clobbered for this shit.
He got to say that this is normal.
He actually has to normalize this.
And then other artists have to come out and say, bro, we see people pass out all the fucking time.
Motherfuckers come and get drunk.
They pass out.
We are not going to assume every one of those people that's passed out is dead.
Am I wrong?
Now, apparently people already asked him.
Like, there's two things.
So one, he notices the ambulance, which again, isn't refuting your point that, like, you know, he sees people pass out all the time.
There needs to be a better chain of command from the EMTs to his management to him.
Bro.
And you heard the cop warned him before he went on stage, before the concert was like, yo, things have been crazy.
It's fucking COVID.
It's like all this.
This things have been crazy.
Just be careful.
Let's keep a line of communication.
He said Travis was respectful.
Before Travis goes on stage, the chief says he went to Travis and personally and was like, hey, I'm concerned about the energy of the crowd.
It's a little bit disconcerting.
Travis took that in, and then that shit happened.
And from what I understand, Travis's camp hasn't refuted that.
The only thing they said is the chief didn't say cancel the show, which the chief is like, nah, he never said cancel the show.
He said.
What are you telling me about that?
I think just keep a fucking, keep an eye out because your shows already get crazy.
Normally, I understand you don't know that shit?
But he's already been.
The chief is just walking in there to take away responsibility from himself.
Sure, but you're also, Travis Scott, you've been sued for inciting a riot.
You've pled guilty for Lollapalooza, what I think was also reckless endangerment.
Motherfuckers have been paralyzing your shows, they claim.
Like, you should have some kind of, like, at a certain point, this was going to happen, I think.
Am I the only one that thinks that?
Kind of.
But you can also, like, if you're in his position, just a cock that doesn't go to concerts and doesn't enjoy fun.
Yeah, you saw Travis Scott once and left 30 minutes in.
Yeah, yeah.
No.
Fucking dork.
I'm going to be honest.
You should have rushed the stage.
Yeah.
You trampled.
You would get trampled.
I didn't.
I left Travis Scott five minutes in.
Wow.
Five.
Fire ass five minutes, and then I was out.
Why?
It's a song.
It's cool.
I'm out.
Did he have his shirt off?
No, that I would have stuck around for.
How'd you stay up the whole time of your own?
I'm not a wedding.
How'd you do that?
I had to, dude.
I'm the headliner.
Would you have left a little early?
Co-liner, dude, to be honest.
Not in the feature at your wedding.
That's true.
That's true.
It's their wedding.
We were just there.
Yeah, well, I'm the feature actor, but I have an important, I got to stay there.
I got to do my time.
You got to do your time.
If you don't do your time, it's a problem.
Yeah.
Now, apparently, the stage operator came up to Travis Scott during his performance and told him what was going on and asked him to address the crowd so that they would let emergency vehicles in.
Now, what did Travis say?
He said, nah, fuck all that.
And then went into the next song.
Allegedly, according to the stage.
I'm telling you, dog, the shit that's coming out is not looking good for him.
Not looking good for him.
The more that comes out, the more you're like, yo, this is a problem, dog.
And you've been had problems before.
And I get, yo, his live show truly probably is the best, but that's a dangerous game you're playing.
It's almost like he did on purpose.
Whoa.
Almost as if it was a ritual.
Oh, we got some conspiracy shit going.
Is Travis Scott the devil?
Is he the devil?
He's literally the devil.
Let's go.
Oh, my God.
God, bro.
Talk to us.
How does he spell his last name?
S-C-C-O-T-T.
What does a T look like?
A cross.
He has two crosses.
What does that mean?
One.
Two positives.
Make a negative.
The other.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
So how do you spell his name without the crosses?
C-S-C-O.
S-C-O.
Yeah.
Skull.
Satan.
I got to do it all.
Satan's all.
I got to do it all.
Y'all not going to help me a little bit?
I thought you were wrong.
Come on, bro.
People die.
Yeah, that's my fault.
My fault.
Take this seriously, Mark.
All right.
Okay, you and your fucking conspiracy.
Everybody got to be the devil with you.
You're such a boomer.
Okay?
Tell us.
Tell us why Travis Scott is the devil.
Hey, boomer.
Hey, boomer.
So this has been alleged across the internet and in many of our YouTube comments.
Lucy Nicotine Pouches Explained00:03:51
Okay.
That Travis Scott did this on purpose.
Again, I don't necessarily endorse these ideas.
He got 50,000 people into one space so he could kill eight.
He's going to kill eight, which is a low death rate.
Super low.
The sacrifice is always one person.
Mad people gather.
You don't sacrifice a whole crowd.
That's a good point.
Now they're saying they're covering it up, though.
They said more people die.
They just don't want you to know about it.
Oh, my God.
And how are they covering up their parents feeling about their loss?
They un-crisis acted them.
Oh, my.
The opposite of crisis actors.
Gosh.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
This is crazy, dude.
So multiple people died that they're not talking about.
Yeah.
And the specific reason is so they could spread Satan through Houston, Texas.
Yes.
Specifically, Houston or other places as well?
I think specifically Houston.
So this is what one poster pointed out.
And he says at the top, let me just clarify.
I highly doubt Travis Scott sacrificed these people in some sort of ritual.
I'm just pointing out what I observed and I find interesting to spark a discussion.
And it's a picture of Travis Scott, a massive bust of Travis Scott, where people can walk in and out of.
Yeah.
And it's the entrance into the concert, I imagine.
And his mouth is wide open.
Wide open.
And then below that, there's a picture.
Looks like it's taking place, I don't know, medieval time, Renaissance.
Yeah, so this is a painting from Dante's Divine Comedy, also known as Dante's Inferno.
It's a form of symbolism that stands as imagery for the gates of hell itself.
Holy shit.
So you'd be entering the gates of hell through Travis Scott's mouth, or you'd be entering the gates of hell through whatever this thing is in Dante's Inferno.
Yeah, exactly.
Travis Scott could be the devil, dude.
All right, guys, we got to take a break from this exclusive Patreon clip because this episode has been brought to you by Lucy.

Now, if you keep scrolling, Miles, exhibit B. Dude, I feel like Rittenhouse is attorney right now.
Oh, I'm on fire.
Bringing a fact.
Okay, okay, okay.
Give me more.
Give me more.
All right.
So this is from Travis Scott's latest.
Oh, my God.
Showing the eye in the palm of the hand.
Oh, but we've seen this before.
Avoiding Dystopian Rituals Today00:03:18
Classic occult imagery.
We've seen this before.
Where have we seen this before?
What is that movie that we're looking at below?
Pan's Labyrinth.
Pan's Labyrinth.
Yep.
Wow.
And if you keep scrolling beyond that.
Oh, my God.
This is the occult origin of the eye in the palm of the hand.
Oh, my God.
Yo, can I ask you a question?
It's damning.
If it's not about Travis Gott being the devil, then no.
What is the occult?
No one knows.
I know what occult is.
What is occult?
It's like possum.
You can say possum and opossum.
Yeah, exactly.
But what?
What?
Occult.
I mean, basically, people just describe the occult as like any dark magic underbelly of a society.
Okay.
So it's basically people operating with like Satanism, witchcraft, using.
That shit is all one umbrella.
Kind of, yeah.
Occult literally meaning like the unknown or like.
What if he's just a wizard?
It could be a wizard.
He's Harry Potter.
He could be a gizzard.
He could be a gizzard.
He's a blizzard.
Now, if you'll keep scrolling to exhibit C.
Oh, there's more exhibits, dude.
There's hundreds of exhibits.
Because this is the truth.
Oh, my God.
True dystopia is here.
That's what Travis Scott is.
That's a picture of Stormy.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
So he dropped dystopia the same day that this happened.
Explain that, Andrew.
Oh, my God, dude.
I think there's a lot of evidence here, Mark, and I think you could be onto something.
I think Travis Scott might be part of the occult, okay?
I think that he might be a Satan worshiper, and I think that he's using the devil's imagery to probably deliver the devil's message.
This is a big problem.
This is a big problem.
As a Christian male, a proud Catholic Protestant, I feel it is my duty to talk about this on our platform.
We have a platform we have to use.
Rid the devil from Houston.
Rid the devil from Spotify.
I think he should be canceled from, I mean, I think he should be canceled from concerts.
For the death of those people or for being the devil.
It's not even a concert.
It's just a big gathering of Satan.
It's a ritual, yeah.
I think that all rituals should stop.
Yeah.
Except ours.
Yeah.
Our rituals can continue, but all other rituals will stop.
Patreon every Friday.
Now, I feel you're being sarcastic, okay?
Yeah.
And apparently, yesterday, no, on November 5th, the day of the concert, he came out with a song, Escape Plan.
I thought that was a little crazy.
I saw the timing there, and I thought that was a little bit crazy.
So he dropped a song.
I would also drop a song the day of my massive festival.
I think that makes sense.
The choice of the song name, very unfortunate.
Yeah.
Very unfortunate.
And it's probably too late.
You've already done this marketing.
Everything's locked and loaded and going for it.
I mean, what is the song about?
Maybe he's just trying to reward his real fans who listen to music the day it comes out.
Here's how you stay away from what's about to happen.
Can you tell me what the song is about?
Is it about the battle of the bastards with Jon Snow gets stuck in the city?
It always goes back to Game of Thrones.
That was such a good episode.
That was such a good episode.
Anything serious without you just going back to game tonight immediately?
You know what I mean?
That's the best episode.
It's a 10-year-old show about dragons.
We're trying to talk about the devil.
All right.
It's a serious conversation.
I got goosebumps when you said that.
It's a 10-year-old show about dragons.
I really just got goosebumps.
All right.
Goosebumps?
No?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
This guy's heading.
Fortnite Guy Awful Situation00:07:14
Come on, dude.
Come on.
I'll be here all night.
All right.
So he also, in the cover of the dystopia, the Scopia Tour, I guess, is the thing he announced.
When the end arrives, it's really the beginning.
That's what he wrote.
Using occult symbols and other.
I don't really know.
I'll be honest.
I'm trying to piece this together.
This one's not it.
But let me hear this one.
Where's the one where he says put your middle fingers in the bus?
This is it, guys.
This is it.
Two minutes.
Two minutes.
He looks concerned, genuinely.
Oh, that actually looks like honest concern compared to.
He was.
Someone says, don't do that, bro.
Two hands to the sky.
I was doing that to check on folks who can do it.
I mean, this song slaps him.
Yo.
Yo.
Here we go.
Here we go.
I mean, that kind of turned up.
I mean, he is the best live performer on earth, right?
Like, how lit did it feel when he got from here?
I was like, this shit is fire, bro.
I'm not going to lie.
I kind of wanted that beat to drop.
Son, I bet the people in the back had a great time.
Yes.
I bet they had a grand old time.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
But that's fucked up, man.
You feel uncomfortable there.
He knew that there was something very wrong.
Somebody said, no, don't do that, which lets you know we're all like, you know, we all are like, oh, you didn't know what you do in that situation.
Somebody in that situation was like, what are you out of your goddamn mind dude?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I kind of put him more in like his management, I think.
Like, why aren't they stopping him?
Right?
Like, I don't know.
He's on stage.
He's doing his thing.
He's focused on his performance.
Like, there were people at the event that didn't know that people had died.
Like, the majority of the people did.
The majority of people did.
So here's where if you add up everything, that, okay, you're a performer, you're fucking amped up, whatever.
But you saw that happen.
Then while you're performing, they tell you some shit is going horribly wrong.
Yeah.
And then you keep going again.
Like, you already just saw an ambulance.
Yeah.
And that's where I'm like, at a certain point, you got to stop the fucking shit and be like, yo, this is crazy.
We can't keep just ignoring all this wildness.
You know what I mean?
Go.
Go.
Why are you laughing?
Why are you laughing, bro?
People have died, Andrew.
Why are you laughing?
Go.
Listen, I don't have anything to say.
I have nothing to say.
You're laughing.
I have nothing to say.
You were just saying something.
You were on a good rant.
And then I just got a funny idea.
Yeah.
What was the idea?
Go.
I was just waiting for a part of your rant for you to say something.
Then I was going to say it back in like a mocking, childish tone.
And then you kept on saying more things about people's lives being lost.
And I couldn't do it.
So I just laughed to myself and you got the end of it.
That's how you got to do it.
That's how you shut me down.
That's smart ass.
You shut me down by just saying like important thoughtful things.
Yeah, but you just have such a tell.
You know what I mean?
I do.
You fucking get this really.
I got giddy.
You get like predatory.
You're like a fucking blood in the water.
Yeah.
Listen.
Did he not care that there was clearly something going on at the show?
Seems like it a little.
His first sentence was, I want y'all to make the fucking ground move or something, right?
Yeah.
I mean, he didn't give a fuck, bro.
No, no, no, no.
He did not give a fuck.
Now, here's the thing.
He's got to come out and say, this happens so often at my shows, I didn't think anything of it.
If he comes out and he says, this was unique, yes, I did see an EMT.
Yes, I did see an ambulance.
And I was like, that might be fucked up, but then I kept going.
That's messed up.
Can't do it.
But if he comes out and said, hey, it's very normal at concerts of 50,000 people that a few people are going to pass out.
So I didn't want to stop the whole show for something I see regularly.
I think that he can be okay.
He needs other people to say it, though, because again, this guy already has been in trouble for this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The guy incites riots at his shows.
Yeah.
That was the idiot saying to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, he did.
Okay.
I'm going back to my trailer.
Yeah.
And now Travis got pulled off Fortnite.
I don't even understand that.
I don't know what Fortnite is.
I didn't expect you to.
Yeah, that's that like performative shit.
That's like, what he's pulled off.
I know you're struggling with that fucking thing.
No, this thing is about struggling so hard at this.
Huh?
This shit's so broke.
It looks like that girl in the stretcher.
You guys are awful for laughing at that.
That's awful.
You're awful for laughing at that.
You just leave it right there.
I will listen to everything you say.
Jesus Christ, Ah gosh.
We're getting tired and we're getting loose.
We're getting tired and we're getting loose.
Okay.
No.
The Fortnite thing, I don't understand.
That seems performative.
Of course it is.
It's all good.
I mean, it's like a brand protection thing for them.
Yeah.
Bro, he makes a fortune.
He throws events in the digital world.
And so when we all have our little avatars, we're going to go to concerts.
But also, Fortnite is a game where you kill people.
Yeah.
Like, I wouldn't want to do a concert in Fortnite, especially when you could just go to Astral World in real life.
Son, you can just mosh.
You don't have to worry about a loot box or building any shit.
Be like, you want to go to a concert?
Go to a digital one.
That's it.
Fuck, that's so true, dude.
Why does who the fuck is Fortnite think they are?
Yo, fuck Fortnite.
Why?
Have you ever played?
No, dog.
That's what I was saying.
Fuck Fortnite.
That game's mad fun.
It's mad fun, but the fact that they're going to cancel Travis Scott.
Yeah, they're trying to protect their money.
But do you think the kids would really care?
Yeah.
I think it'd be a real bad look.
Travis Scott in a game where you kill people.
A guy who actually kills people.
Yeah, optically not.
He didn't kill people.
Well, he killed probably one at least.
How many?
Probably one.
He killed that concert.
He killed that performance.
Like, he has one eighth of responsibility to the whole thing.
I'll give him that.
You think?
Probably.
Why?
I don't know.
If he has some responsibility, I don't know what percentage he has.
Wait, do you think he'll get locked up or like have to pay a crazy fine?
No, I don't think so.
Because there's also precedent for it, like all these other concerts where this has happened.
Yeah, Charlamagne was listening them all off.
Yeah.
So I think they'll just probably follow that.
I don't think he'll go to prison, but he'll probably settle with the families or some shit.
Either him or like the Astral World LLC, whatever his business is licensing.
One of the girls sued Drake already.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
If Drake's anywhere near it, you can go and come for him.
