Andrew Schulz: Interviewing Trump, Roasting Tom Brady, and ‘Life’ on Netflix
The Last Laugh
Shownotes Transcript
Andrew Schulz knows that hosting Donald Trump on his Flagrant podcast would make everyone think he’s a “right-wing MAGA lunatic.” But, as he makes clear in this episode, his politics are more complicated than what meets the eye. Schulz, who just put out a surprisingly vulnerable Netflix stand-up special called ‘Life’ about his experience with fertility and fatherhood, opens up in this conversation about the backlash he has received for being part of the Joe Rogan-led podcast manosphere, how he thinks this new Trump era could actually be bad for comedy, why he believes his triumphant set at the ‘Roast of Tom Brady’ marked the night “wokeness died”—and his inspired idea for which “GOAT” Netflix should roast next. We also go deep on his controversial Trump interview, the “Rorschach test” reactions from the two ends of political spectrum, why he declined an invitation to attend Trump’s inauguration, his biggest disappointment in the administration so far, and a lot more.
