Surviving Joey Diaz Megadose, Discovering Andrew Tate & "Exposing" Garth Brooks Secret | #701

TL;DR

Tom Segura joins Flagrant to share wild stories about a 200mg edible ambush by Joey Diaz, DMT addiction, and near-death drug experiences.

Key Points

• 1.Tom Segura lost weight honestly but nobody believed him. His friend Bert Kreischer simultaneously went on tour claiming Tom used Ozempic, which Tom denies despite Bert himself later losing 50 lbs with the shot.
• 2.Tom developed a near-addiction to DMT via vape pen. After mild initial experiences, a deep pull alone in a hotel room caused everything to appear black-and-white sketch-drawn, triggering a level-10 panic attack lasting ~15 minutes.
• 3.Tom was doing DMT three to four times per week. His supplier warned him he risked serotonin poisoning from overuse, so Tom physically separated the pen pieces between locations to stop himself.
• 4.Joey Diaz secretly dosed Tom with a 200mg edible, claiming it was 10mg. Tom was suspicious but took one anyway after watching Joey eat five of them before performing a full show.
• 5.Tom was incapacitated for nearly three days after the Joey Diaz edible. He had to be physically carried onto a plane, gave an unsolicited speech about love mid-flight, and woke up still high the next morning.
• 6.Joey Diaz took a thousand milligrams total and performed his show normally. When Tom later confronted him, Diaz admitted he enjoys the panic and anxiety, saying he misses the chaos of a life of crime.
• 7.Joey Diaz's justification for dosing Tom was 'you needed a reset.' Despite Tom insisting he was doing fine, Diaz said the 48-hour ordeal was good for him and told him to 'start over.'
• 8.Tom bombed catastrophically at a club owned by booker 'Stroop' while high on weed. Stroop later told him it was one of the worst sets he'd ever seen, while Tom was on stage convinced applause breaks were actually bad crowd reactions.
• 9.Andrew Tate's rise is credited to Tom Segura, who 'pumped him up' and created the manosphere. The hosts describe this as Tom literally creating the manosphere by platforming Tate early on his podcast.
• 10.Tom allegedly 'exposed' Garth Brooks as a serial killer. The hosts note this is labeled 'allegedly' to avoid lawsuits, framing it as one of Tom's most notable controversial moments.
• 11.Tom overdosed on GHB at age 19 and woke up in the ICU with tubes in. He had already been drinking when he accidentally swallowed approximately 10 doses from a gallon jug, and only survived because his sister called 911.
• 12.Tom takes helicopter lessons and flew his terrified mother through extreme maneuvers over Austin. The pilot performed nosedives and sideways banking in an MD500 while Tom's mother screamed, prayed, and threatened to buy an Apple Watch in retaliation.
• 13.Tom has raced Porsches at Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Driving a neighbor's Ferrari F8 on the back straight, he hit 177 mph compared to ~145 in his manual GT3, describing it as the first time he genuinely feared dying on track.
• 14.Tom drove a governor-restricted NASCAR at Texas Motor Speedway's 33-degree banked track. Officials incrementally raised the speed limiter each pit stop, explaining the car would fall over below a minimum speed on the banking.
• 15.Akash Singh sold out Radio City Music Hall despite heavy internet criticism. The hosts gave a lengthy shoutout, praising his ability to address personal controversies humorously and noting none of his critics could have withstood that level of public pressure.
