“I thought you were unique” “naw son theirs a billion of us”
@Gabriel Sharpner Yeah, but y'all got a whole continent to yourselves
@@infectednetwork so true lol, I've never thought about it this way.
@Gabriel Sharpner in a continent.. but Indians are a billion in a country 😎
@Gabriel Sharpner FYI there are more Indians in india than there are Africans in Africa.
But you only see the nerds and thus the awkward indian stereotype
That's so Indian of akash to not call certain friends to wedding 😂
Damn I was thinking the same
Is it because he thinks his friends will judge his culture and the shit they are doing would appear weird to his white friends? Lol
Darius Neidhart Other way around, lol
It’s not racist
I don't think so, Indians are the best when it comes on to inviting.
It was because of zoom wedding, & he thought probably their friends is not gonna enjoy the rituals and gonna do something crazy at the family video call. 😅
It's so adorable how Andrew flipped out because Akaash didn't invite him to the wedding.
I’d be so angry yo 😂
He's too white to be at the wedding. 😂
For real.....he is on a podcast with him sharing success together and can't even toss him an invite.
Have you seen how he dresses?! He looks like he sells good drugs in bad neighborhoods, lol
@@ShrimpDaddys I am Indian. And to be fair to Akaash, that day is not really the wedding. It's just a small ceremony for their close ones. He should've invited him tho
indians are two different people when we're with friends and when we're with family and we like to make sure those two people never meet
🤣🤣🤣 so true lol
That's the rule which cannot be broken
😂😂😂😂 explained very well
yeah but he invited him to the sikh wedding.
world are colliding, jerry
Not inviting Andrew in your hindu weeding...
Bro, that's messed up.
foh sure
Foh sure
yup
Andrew would've made a big deal if his invitation didn't have his name in bigger font than Akaash's.
@@darthsiddious7469 Making a big deal of everything is what Indian weddings are about bro... 😂😂
I'm with Andrew on this one, Akaash should have invited him to his wedding. I'm pretty sure there would've been 500 guests already if it was an Indian wedding.
Agree completely. How are you going to shut out your bro, colleague whatever from your wedding. Not wanting to explain Indian weddings is weak. Its one text or email done. That’s what I did when I got married. Or you can tell your friends to hit google. Schulz brought you to the party son. I’m pretty sure I probably wouldn’t have heard of you otherwise and I’m Indian but until this pod I hadn’t heard of you. Sorry. Friendships and slights like this will hurt and sometimes after something like this they don’t last. I hope that’s not the case. Even if it was on zoom you should have properly invited him and the team and leave it to them to show up or not. Otherwise it’s crazy awkward like coming on the pod saying yo I got married. These guys are supposed to be your friends. Just an opinion from a casual observer. Congrats on the wedding!
@@soundsoffury3975 I don't think Akaash didnt want it... but maybe he just accept it.
The invitation part, I feel related. Chinese and Indians are the most racist I have ever relate, but they just hide it saying is culture.
My wife is Chinese, the parents first said probably is a poor guy, I prove them wrong and after they said maybe is rich because is a bad guy. And during 2 years they kept creating excuses...
When they accept us to get married(i had to give them double the money they ask to a Chinese guy and never gave back to us), we had a big discussion, because they told me they wanted to see pictures and information of my guests and then they will tell me to whom I could invite.
@@frankom2862 And you let them do that at YOUR marriage?
@@takeshisarrawa no, I didn't... They try... But I'm not chinese... Maybe if I were Chinese I'll agree with that... Maybe that's why Akaash didn't invited non Indians, even I think he is not really Indian, he is American with Indian heritage, that is totally different...
@@frankom2862 My sister's ex boyfriend invited her to his brother's wedding. Maybe Andrew and Akaash aren't as close as Andrew claims. I personally would invite only close friends to my wedding, and not even all the family.
This is why I love Akash. He understands certain things so realistically. “There are things that we have to collectively work on in every culture. Saying I’m not proud to be a part of that culture is not helping.”
Loved that part.
yo varun is that you
Bio-data is first date, without wasting the money
Wow dude. You just explained it like a G !!
Most accurate explanation ever!!!
😂😂😂
Lmao 😂

Nice to see Ajinkya Rahane explore an alternative career ;)

Dude 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahaha this cracked me up
🤣🤣🤣
wtffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff indian here .... who is shocked that aakash's father in law was in the netflix show
:0
Which show bro
@@anshulmehta1603 indian match making
Me
You didn't need to tell us that you're an Indian, your username says it all
Which episode thoo
"Lifetime of progress in one generation." That's the real deal. Nicely put Aakash.
A generational change after one generation.
Akash did a great job explaining it, lot of these woke desis who are butthurt over how offensive and tramatic is is for them really need to get over it, we really don't give our parents credit on how much they do for us especially in letting us chose who we want to be with, our parents never played victim so why are there kids today playing victim it just doesn't make sense
@@ShawnMathew yesssss
That is pretty common in every culture now, it's not progression but the interruption by technology and moderate improvements, but then serious lowering of traditional values:
Eg 1900's Britain an old guy arranged marries a 14 year old
1920's Their kids marry by choice
1950's Their kids have familes out of wedlock or even don't marry
1980's Their kids create single parent households
2000's Their kids are gay
2023's Their adopted/IVF kids are trans/furries/MAPs
Andrew is the guy you need in baraat . He would be a super hit with nagin dance tho.
Highkey true.
Lol
And his parents were dance instructors. 💃
What a comment ,🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
🤣🤣🤣
Going by Andrew’s stand up its scary how much he knows about other cultures.
Or rather, how little other Americans know about other cultures. More now, thanks to youtube.
Екатерина Геннадиевна precisely
@@zztopz7090 it isn't a entire America it's more where you live. Americans who grow up in large metropolitan diverse cities like LA NYC SF Chicago etc know a lot about other cultures because you're surrounded by people of all ethnic groups. It's the rest of small town and middle America that is a little less cultured you could say. Andrew is from NYC so it comes as no surprise.
NEW YORK is the greatest teacher
brownjatt21 💯 my greatest teacher of culture was me actually leaving my neighborhood. RUclips is cute and all but you’ll fail if you depend on RUclips info when meeting people of other cultures in real life.
I like Akash is open here about their culture
Ditto. This was good and enlightening. Makes me wanna do more research
One thing that separates Andrew Schulz from a lot of non-Indian comics who make jokes about Indian culture is that he actually does research and respects the culture. Growing up and even to this day whenever you see some Black or White comic make a joke about Indians, it's some dumb outdated shit like "Doot doot hello thank you come again please let me give you a ride in my taxi" type BS, but since Andrew does so much research and actually has conversations with his friend Akaash, he's actually able to make really insightful jokes like how Indians treat their daughters, the different religions in India, colorism, etc. etc. and it makes him so much funnier.
That being said, whenever you have something like "Indian Culture", there's not really any good way to represent it. When you look at shows like "Indian Matchmaking" or "Never Have I Ever" (Mindy Kaling's show), there's always going to be Indians saying stuff like "Oh this is offensive, this isn't reality, etc." but the thing is Indian culture is not a monolith. What Akaash is saying here about woke brown people complaining is that yes there's always going to be negative parts of culture here and there but that doesn't always have to define it as a whole.
I'll say this as an Indian American person (like the people in the show). The whole "matchmaking" process is not normal in Indian American communities. Most Indian Americans date and find partners just like any other American, but in maybe like 20% of the cases when they are in their 30s or can't find someone on their own, they do end up resorting to matchmakers. The thing this show does well is really define "Arranged Marriage" as just matchmaking, almost like blind dates. The Indian process of "arranged marriage" isn't about forcing people to get married, it's about suggesting potential partners. And the best part about it is that since they've already been screened by the parents, the couple will ideally have zero family problems.
Again, this is my own experience. If you or anyone else has questions about Indian American culture, I would love to answer them and educate others, but obviously keep in mind that I am speaking from my own experiences and don't mean to represent 100% of all Indians.
@@AM-tu1rc breh did you just type a damn thesis?
You gotta be realistic about these things. Then only you could make a change.
Part Indian and I love astrology lol
Damn Akash. Thats foul I got white and black friends and they lined up for my desi wedding. Damnnnnnn you did Andrew dirty. You could tell by Akash's face he def did not want yall there.
haha can you imagine Andrew getting married and saying; yeah I didnt invite any people of color only white people.
Mark exactly. Honestly it’s racist. He didn’t want non Indians at the wedding. Imagine I said bro, we didn’t want blacks at the wedding
Dude there are like. Stages in weddings he surely will invite for main wedding function.
It was an engagement thing over zoom. The wedding hasn't happened yet
@@Markuden yes, indians dont always keep thinking about race.
Vyasar was one of my best friends in grad school. He's the best. Even cooler in real life. He's a phenomenal non fiction writer who no one took a chance on so he went into the education system. Can't wait to see what he writes after getting this attention.
He is the sweetest in that show I hope he finds someone
I was so excited to see he is from ATX! Glad to hear about his writing talent
Man I had the biggest crush on him. Literally if I could find a Brown guy like him.
@@inderjitkainth5353 he’s still single lol-slide into his DMs on Instagram lol
This comment deserves more likes
People that are complaining about this show saying that it’s Colourist, Sexist, Ageist, Classist, etc. If you don’t think some of that stuff happens on Tinder you’re sorely mistaken.
Exactly I don’t find a problem with the show
It’s a snapshot of reality at a point in time.
Indians simply classify & name their prejudices 🤣 Caste, colorism etc., Where dark skinned people are at the bottom, in the US it's the same way except it's more silently & not called a specific system.
@@KillShot-ln6mn Black color people are not low in India. It is all personal preference. But now people are looking at success of a person rather than color or caste.
@@neverstop108 they are definitely low in India especially in terms of beauty standards lol don’t even try to sugarcoat it that doesn’t solve the problem. I have plenty of dark skinned family members who have reputable jobs where they make good money but they still struggle getting marriage matches because people are turned off their skin tone
Wow I don't even know akash but i am offended as hell that he didn't invite andrew to his wedding. Like wtf you run a podcast together
Lol the one on zoom was probably low-key and ceremonial. He has the proper wedding in August where he's invited them all
He gave them wedding cards earlier. Maybe in March or April video. I saw that.
Yeah that was screwed up.
@@amruthchinnappa5763 is this true dude? it really upset me that he didn't invite andrew. i kinda feel embarrassed he's an fellow Indian origin who doesn't invite his friends on his wedding.
@ricky God promise bruv, I think so
Aakash bro you know you wrong for not calling your bros for the wedding
This clip sums up why I like Andrew so much. He is very open to discuss things. He doesn't start behaving weirdly when he hears about colorism and casteism .
“What’s that supposed to mean”
“I didn’t want y’all there” 😂
Respect that Akash defined cast correctly.
But that shaadi invitation betrayal tho.
not really . Akash didnt mention that the caste system was an ideology but the British came and enacted it as a way to control us. They dont teach you that in school ,bro .look it up
@Ash _Maniac read "inglorious empire" by shashi tharoor and there is even a BBC article on this. Countless articles .all it takes is to read some verified sources.educate yourself
@@Raaxshas Basavanna a social reformer, poet in 12th century rebelled against Caste System. So can you tell from your authentic sources and articles when British reached Indian shores?
@@rajeevnaik3877 its funny that I give you credible sources but you dont give any
@Ash _Maniac yea cos ambedkar is the only source I need to verify and validate.makes sense.
I am Egyptian and my mother also pull's the blood pressure trick on me every other week, she sometimes holds her shoulder or heart as well when the conversation isn't going her way.
My mom too.. i
Classic manipulation. It's basically a grown-ass adult having a temper tantrum. But instead of a kid sating he'll hold his breath until he gets what he wants, the mom fucking threatens suicide if she doesn't get what she wants. I wish what I say was a lie, but some people do that
Brown people for white people 😅, black people are well versed on that. That’s why we often don’t have a voice cause it sells.
They put a label on something I’ve really been thinking about lately. As a Latino, I hate shows that show a group of people worried about deportation and what’s going to happen to Mami and Papi. Brown people go through shit just like any other race but most brown entertainment is forced to pigeon holes those experiences for white execs and views.
Javier F if they do the regular stuff you’re taking about, you’ll complain that “oh it’s whitewashed, what about our specific struggles.” You’ll never be happy.
Lemma Deray you are willfully ignorant.
@@blackmenwomensuperpower305 There should be space for both.
Man I feel bad for Andrew
He should've gotten the invite
@Harry Garrett Indians are super conservatives let alone outsiders some of them do not even invite friends, family members of the same race with different caste
@Harry Garrett Its complex to explain. If you're really interested to know more I can explain it over skype
@Harry Garrett You're being ignorant and got the whole thing wrong visit India once you can literally attend any wedding and have unlimited food no questions asked. But giving an invitation is a whole different matter that you won't understand. You've already made up your mind and will carry the same stereotype which is evident from your previous comment. It's pretty ironic in itself
@Harry Garrett lol just do a simple youtube search for an Indian wedding. Try to understand the difference in the concept of the wedding in west v/s the rest. For you, marriage is keeping a minimum of people. For us, Pakistanis, Iranians, and few other middle eastern countries it's the exact opposite the more attendees better it is . The success of the marriage is calculated in the number of wedding attendees here lol you hear/see a wedding going on walk-in no one bats an eye. Come visit once experience it for yourself
No cap Andrew invited to the pooja
what the show theyre on about, do you know?
@@BEEFBRSKT it's called indian matchmaking
Fr
Might have been the best episode of Flagrant I've seen yet. Watching Andrew talk about how cool Indians were in Indian Matchmaking was very insightful! Also loved Akaash explaining his understanding of Hinduism, glad he didn't cast everybody under the same shadow.
😂 Andrew is really bummed out about the wedding, but Akaash is low key very sensitive about those Indian jokes. He tries to play it off though because he'd look like a hypocrite for cracking on everybody else.
Low key? Lol he is highly offended about Mindy and Aziz not being inclusive enough lol
I see it too
Exactly. Always talking about black culture. Now andrew make fun of jewish
@Aaron Zimmerman did you listen? Homeboy was offended
How can you tell? I haven’t been watching the podcast long enough to read his body language, so you prolly know better than me. It just seems like In this moment, he gave off a “I don’t give a fuck” type of attitude when Andrew got upset that he wasn’t invited. Which is pretty sad. Other than that, I didn’t really see him getting offended, but that’s just me
Shout out to Akaash for using light years in the right context.
Not really... based on that logic pretty much everything is "light years" ahead compared to shit 50 yrs ago.
The only "right" context is when talking about traveling between space bodies and measuring distance. What are you talking about?
@@lockedin6699 find the meaning of "light years" the plural one.
And he was right about Indian parents!
Light years is a unit of distance, not time. Definitely not used in the right context either.
love this episode. akaash is totally right when he said we've never seen our culture being expressed as it is so well in a tv show
This was a great show. I liked the point that it only makes woke Indians angry to see ourselves portrayed so realistically.
@@dparamful whats the show called
@@breezygenie matchmaking
@@dparamful you think standing up against toxic outdated mentality is woke? You must be very privileged to say that
I'd be hurt too, if one of my close friends didn't thought its necessary to invite me to his wedding
😂
Actually he gave them wedding cards. I saw that in a older video when Kaz was in show. Maybe because of covid everything changed.
@@AmitSinghco Because of lockdown, not covid. Big difference.
@@utarian7 and the reason for lockdown must be aliens. Dumb
@@himanshusharma4478 The reason is the government.
🤣😅
Akash keeps digging him self a deeper hole " I wanted my wife to have a happy day" " I don't think any non indians were invited" Bro you are not helping yourself.
He didn't invite Andrew because he doesn't trust Andrew to not say something wild🤣.
he could have just put andrew on mute
That’s exactly what it is. 😂
I am astonished at aakash. How could he not invite him to his wedding?
I think Aakash is insecure about his culture especially near non-indian people (maybe trauma from growing up brown in the US) ... it sucks cause Andrew is probably few of the dudes that would be open-minded enough to appreciate a new cultural experience ... Kind of messed up on Aakash's part I think
What exactly have you that impression.. I’m no way at all does he seem insecure about his culture..
@@raqui174 Well you are very good at reading people then .. he is super defensive right from the get-go ... doesn't invite possibly his best friend to his own wedding ... constantly skirts around indian culture-based topics from the perspective of a indian person and attacks the issues from an objective third-person "outsider" viewpoint ... It's pretty standard of people that are insecure/guarded about their culture especially near their friends that haven't been exposed to said culture or are generally unempathetic people (which we know Andrew is not which is why I thought it is unusual for Akash to not include Andrew in this portion of his life)
@@MrAtaguas this sounds like a garbage statement
I dunno about the insecure part but it seems like he didnt invite him to the religious ceremony, which is something that is very private and involves primarily close family members in attendance
It's not like a Christian wedding ceremony, where anyone can technically be invited
@@MrAtaguas he doesn't talk bc he probably doesn't know a lot. These NRI kids don't know much about their culture and are always scared of giving false info. on a public domain. It has nothing to do with being 'insecure'. Lmao what are you 12?
I literally paused this video and went to netflix just to see some of the first episode for context...I just finished the entire season today lol
Did you like it?
Hello surprisingly I did lol it was very interesting. I normally don’t like dating stuff or “reality” programs, but it was good. I’d watch a second season
@@PACIFICBboy Thanks for the info! Will check it out :)
It's the kind of show you know is over the top and full of weirdos and you're gonna complain about it while watching it but you still won't stop until you watch all episodes.
WHAT TF IS THE FKN NAME OF THE SHOW?!
Dude, this is the most real chat i have heard about Indian culture on American platform. Andrew seriously knows his shit! Akaash brings in some dope perspectives and keeps the conversation grounded.
I got drake and josh vibes with akaash not inviting his boys to his wedding
I thought you were unique .
No Bro there's a Billion of us .
PRICELESS
"It's the thing that's most important to you " and when he said "you re doing it now" lmao andrew is such a sweetheart lmaooo
aakash saying - "I want this to be a happy day for my wife" was hilarious !
Andrew got that suburban dad energy today
I completely agree with Aakash on the show being authentic and that everything on the show exists in some capacity in reality. Having said that, the show only covers a small portion of the society and there are sooo many layers in India with so much diversity in cultures and mindsets that I would want to be a little cautious before generalizing what happens on the show.
I couldn’t agree more 🙌
The actual Indian arrange marriage culture is even more toxic. There was no talk of dowry on the show and in real India people don't get to court each other for weeks/months before making a decision. The show was reflective only of how rich Indians do arranged marriages.
@@nikkij5876 I think you mean 'rural' or semirural and not 'real' India, because most urban Indians nowadays do get to court each other for weeks or months before making a decision.
@@tyrannasparx I wouldn't even say "urban" because that includes a whole lot of people who are from rural areas and working in the city and living on the streets or poor housing and not actually living that middle-class or rich life-style.
@@tyrannasparx Lol did you just call 'urban' India, the 'Real' India? That's not even 20 percent of the country. :D
Akaash’s wife’s parents are progressive, my parents disowned my ass for “talking” about not marrying sikh/Punjabi.
What's her sister's name
Same with my rajput family lol
Indian here... love this episode! Akash and Andrew did a great job explaining all of the cultural stuff 👏🏼
Few facts: Indian is not a race
Indian is not an ethnicity
Indian is just a nationality
All Indians are not brown
Many Indians are brown (western definition of it )
All non- Indians should look up northeast Indians
Indians are mixture of hundreds of ethnicities
India is the second biggest Muslim country in the world
India has as many Christians as Spain
All Indians don't do arranged marriages. It depends on the state and personal freedom they have at their household
What’s your point? I’m ethnically Indian and my parents got an arranged marriage.
Stereotypes suck but some times they’re true. 🤷🏽♀️
Just. Saying.
Indians are too an ethnicity and/or nationality! What are you talking about? You can be ethnically Indian or a citizen of India. Bruh.
Bruh we just put all of us under the Indian umbrella because of the shit ton of explaining that we'd have to do otherwise. Mixing specific ethnicities into it is just too complicated for a lot of people to understand. Like I'm Malaysian Indian. If people really want to know, then fine, Tamil.
Pooja B The “oversimplified,” statements are incorrect. That was my point.
@@ritujag Yeah, but you are not the only representative of Indian culture out there. There are a lot of tribal people in India too, where arranged marriages do not happen. And arranged marriages in upper class Indians are markedly different from arranged marriages in other cultures. We do have inter-caste marriages too since time immemorial in Kerala. You are not the only representative of what is India or Indian
this show is at best, a perspective of elite Indians on Indian matchmaking
Andrew is a loose cannon, he'd have roasted everything and everybody in that wedding without having a clue of what he's doing.
I totally agree Akaash about still loving our culture despite the conservative and mysogynist traditions. A lot of South Asians are insecure about their culture and heritage because we are 9/10 times associated with arranged marriage, tiger- parenting and other factors. We have to educate ourselves better to change the bad whilst still embracing the good.
What is wrong with arranged marriages? It's a good way to find someone compatible.
@@003Shashank arranged marriages are good as long as it's your choice
@@Slay963 but if it's not your choice it's forced marriage not arranged marriage.
@@kamilshah8966 most arranged marriages are forced marriages and the soon would to be bride or groom are guilt tripped/persuaded/manipulated into marriages. That's why arranged marriages have such a bad reputation in india amongst the youth
Sexism is different from misogyny.
Andrew by not getting an invite missed out on a huge pile of stand up material.
Exactly why he wasn't invited
That's the reason he was not invited. 🤣🤣🤣
*wear blood pressure monitor*
" look what you're doing to me.." XD XD
That blood pressure mom is my mom , I'm 36 n single 😂
@MrMagooo plenty of people marry at 40 and older.
@MrMagooo
Marriage can go to hell. Overrated junk.
It's my mom too. I'm 30 and single.
@MrMagooo that's some back country shit bro. Its okay to still be single after 30, the though of someone being unmarriable based on age (in this case under 40) is outdated and leaves people with a stigma. Everyone deserves to be happy and not judged. Times have changed but the attitude and thoughts of some people have still stayed the same.
A few months after I (an American) started dating an Indian man, he told me that he’d “try not to come back married” from his month-long visit home to Mumbai. I had no idea at the time about arranged marriages there, but he was nearly 32, so his mom was really getting frantic. She was so relieved a year later when he told her we were getting married 😂 (she had nearly lost all hope)
they aint wrong, that punjabi dad was a fkn king on the show.
Akash is the best. Unapologetic and reasonable. He explains everything in the best possible way
"Indian Matchmaking" is a satirical sarcastic exaggeration on the reality of Indian matchmaking.
Everyone who is dissing Aakash for not inviting them.
My question to you is, "Would you risk inviting Andrew Schulz to your wedding?" 😂
Lol, i will never take that risk. 🤣🤣
"I didn't want any non-Indians" 😑😂
End of story!
Tiffany Haddish, spot on. The same reason Tracey Morgan has had a career this long!
Tiffany Haddish is straight trash.
I'm so happy a Andrew(a white person) could spot that
Idk how Tracy morgan is funny. He's kinda annoying
I think that lacks nuance, though. There exists people who genuinely fit into stereotypes. Not because they're trying to appease people, but because that's who they authentically are. Often times groups won't like the stereotypes, so they get upset that "they" are being "represented" that way, but it'd be naive to think that stereotypes don't have _some_ truth in them for how _some_ people are. It's just weird to assume someone is trying to find validation in a race of people rather than it just being who they are, regardless of who they're around.
@@Hello-qf3fd the point is, he is getting small that money and validation BECAUSE of being that way, not from diverse talent. Thanks for your novel.
I was waiting so desperately for Flagrant to review Indian Matchmaking!! Finally
This is a really interesting conversation, I'm Irish and this made me realize how culturally clueless I am
Same. I watched it twice for the education 😣
One of the best conversation on indians, ever !!
Lol that's crazy that he didn't invite them to his wedding 😂 and here in India we invite minimum 300 to 500 people at least 😂 even friends from school are invited
Imagine 800 people joining via zoom 😳
@@thegreatgatsby8180 that would be crazy dude.😂😂
Where I lived in Australia, there were a lot of South Indian people, my step family were not Indian, but Burmese. My Indian friends all married Indians because for them it was just like stepping into something familiar and they understood how family and culture worked. None of the marriages were forced, but it was based on family, compatibility, financial, and physical features. All the Italians and Greeks where I lived rarely married outside their cultures. I dated an Anglo/Indian for two years, but we realized that it wouldn't work, family for him was all consuming and important, and I was not raised that way. I knew he loved me but the whole cultural thing was too overwhelming. I took away from that relationship, great Indian recipes which I cook for my family today. I met him years later, he was happily married to a beautiful Indian woman and had lovely children.
I am glad you understand brown people perspective. You are definitely sweet and kind because most ex are toxic as hell. Much love and respect for you. You go girl. You will definitely find your prince charming. 🙏
Say what you will, but Indian people are the BEST kind of immigrants in America. We live in an area with a high concentration of Indians and we love them. They are kind, funny, hard-working, family-focused, smart, and have assimilated well. Love them.
"I didn't want y'all there" yooo I'm dead😂😂😂
From most of what I see around me, women in India have moved way ahead in terms of thought process & their way of life. Whereas, boys are still in way back in time in their thinking, because of their privileges ..and the patriarchal lifestyle makes their life elite.
You should watch Bombay Begums for a woman’s perspective in this dynamic
Ok I think I've got a new favourite podcast. This conversation made me feel good. As a British Indian I see all that made-for-mainstream persona stuff Akaash was talking about and it's refreshing to hear a real viewpoint on it and have someone like Andrew genuinely give a shit and comment back in a real way. Funny as fuck too lol.
“I didn’t want y’all there”😂😂
Nothing more Indian than Akash not inviting Andrew to his wedding and Schultz being 100% Indian on not getting over this fact 😂
Bro Akash, I love you man. You did great job in putting ours perspective on the podcast. Will love to see more such stuff.👍
Absolutely.. dude is representing fabulously. I think he would be way more disrespectful to be "accepted", which is what most Indians do -- but he held his ground while also accepting the faults. Mad respect!
Love Andrew and his Indian impersonation/accent, cracks me up every time.
Akaash bro it's time for wedding part 2 with your friends
Andrew : you guys are unique....
Akaash : nah son there are a billion of us
Man I died at the end part. Hilarious.
I really appreciate that they weren't shitty on indian culture or the show entirely, but pointing out insights. Great talk! Also, the code switch is MAD real. I notice my older brother do it all the time, and that's when I realized that I do it too. We don't even think about it. It's not conscious haha, at least for me.
That show was awesome!!! I hope there is a season 2.
This is why George Lopez, he writes his stand-up for Latinos and I love it. I find that a lot of people that don't like him don't understand the culture.
Mate, Hinduism is mind blowing!! Love that show, have watched it soo many times. The guy in the show that does the face reading omg ..
I watched that episode and dude made literally laugh out loud. I'm actually surprised that was Akaash's father-in-law.. That show is crazy.
*patiently waiting for y’all in the comments to roast Andrew on how he dresses*
Probably that's why Aakash didn't invite him to the wedding.
Jugal Shah hilarious comment. Just right
Christoochi you know what that means
My mom used to dress me better bruh
Akash : "this is more cultural than religious"
Andrew :"I don't give a fuck"
Yeah parents did come a long way to get us here, that's an important wisdom there by Akaash. He's been preparing for the marriage :)
I loved this episode. I liked the analogies of brown/gay/black people for white people.
The colorism issue and the religious aspects are very accurate in every culture. Yall went deep on this one.
you should watch The family on BBC from a couple years ago featuring the Grewal family...that was just as authentic and they got really famous in the UK
I love the Indian matchmaking show it’s so amazing, I’ve always loved Indian culture, I’m Mexican and I’d love to have an Indian wedding so beautiful
Lol you do know that wife's family usually(What I know of in North India) pays for the wedding. Weddings usually cost (a decent one) from 20-50 lakhs INR that's like 25,000$ -50,000$. Like a lot of Punjabi wedding spend like 5000$ on alcohol in the wedding alone. Personally I despise indian weddings too expensive and waste of time my marriage will be a simple one both sides just sign contracts and done we're married. But I can understand why you think of it to be beautiful. But better have a thiccc wallet if you want get one.
Achint Singh I said I’d love one, I didn’t say I’m getting one lol
Also, the average cost of an American wedding is 30k
@@bleh3039 30,000$ ⚰️ jeez I'm not getting married.
@@achintsingh8765 what you described is a Punjabi wedding. There are many other traditions. There are places where guys side bear the cost of wedding.
“I’m ganna make you explain the friendship part” 😂😂
I love love love Indian Matchmaking! I was mad that the last episode was the end. They need to hurry up and make some more.
I’m fucking dead at “minutia” “manusha?!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Towards the end of this video u see friendship end. 😂😂😂😂
Yes akash is right matchmaking has evolved because I heard the story of my grandmother ,when she got married she saw her husband first time when she was about to get married
These are the conversations that are needed in our culture for sure
OMG I wish I could be part of this conversation, I loved the Matchmaking show. I agree with Akaash, it was nice to see a show that properly represented the brown culture as it is today and not just make it fun for "other" people.
The ending is like the part when your best friend finds out you value your wife more than him. shulzie broken
I love how respectful Andrew is cos he's not even trying to pretend. He's treating Indians like we should be treated , like normal fucking people. He was just trying to see if the show was depicting us right.
Ik we all love both of em.... But dude this Background, whole Setup is just WOW ❣️
Every thing complementing every other thing.
15:49, Alex laugh be like my first car trying to start up.
Thankyou Akaash for saying that out loud, our culture is nowhere near perfect but we are making progress!
The way Andrew got upset for not being invited is really hilarious and so Indian because few people are not invited to the weddings and they get upset and complain in this same way 🤣🤣🤣🤣
what episode is this
Respect Akaash and him standing up for his/desi/our culture!! 👍🏽
