0:00.0	What's up guys? Welcome to Flagrin. I'm your fat co-host, Akatsi. And we are here with CIA agent, former and probably present, author of the book Shadow Cell. One of my favorite guests ever, even though he still works for the agency. Andrew Busta Monta, guys. Give it up for him. Thank you for coming through, man. Thank you for coming through.
0:20.2	I'm sorry you got fat. Thank you for coming through, man. Thank you for coming through. I'm sorry you got fat.
0:37.6	That's new. That's new since the last time. We were saying this off pod. I have been fatter on this podcast. I must have just hidden it better. I'm not saying I'm not fat now. I am. But I'm less fat, slightly. So the comments didn't bother me as much, but if you look at the episode with Ralph Barbosa,
0:39.8	every comment is about how fat I am,
0:40.8	and they're so funny.
0:37.6	Are they making comments about it? So the comments didn't bother me as much, but if you look at the episode with Ralph Barbosa,
0:54.7	every comment is about how fat I am, and they're so funny. Are they making comments about how fit you are? It's almost like your... Just how black is. They've talked about that pot. They make sure how to transfer. I get him a fat trench. Yeah, can you teach them how to go deep under cover? Hey, Miles, what is your favorite comment about how fat I am? Do we have one on deck or Joey can pull it up?
0:57.4	I don't have a favorite one off deck, but they were all great.
1:15.5	Oh, God, what was your favorite comment about how fat I am? Do we have one on deck? Or Joey can pull it up? I don't have a favorite one off deck, but they were all great. Oh, God, they were so good. I was genuinely laughing at them. I was with my wife just dying laughing, and she can't go nowhere. She married my fat ass. So what's you going to do about it? I saw some banger. Someone said the camera adds 10 pounds. Look like Akash ate five cameras. Unfortunately, that's a heater.
1:16.9	That's so good, dude.
1:18.1	That was just my bargain joke right there.

1:22.7	Oh, my God.

1:25.3	One too many non-bred.
1:26.9	Archosh been eating good. Hell yeah, dude. Oh, this's so good. That's a bagel. One too many non-bred. Archaj, been eating good?
1:28.4	Hell yeah, dude. Oh, this is very funny. The funniest one was just, Akash looks like he gained 50 pounds in the last week. It's just like, so blunt. Okay, anyway, Andrew, Mr. Bustamente, as your fat co-host, I have some questions for you to chew on, get it?
