Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"We don't throw bananas at black people. That's a waste of food. This is America. We eat those goddamn bananas. That's how not racist we are. We waste the most food and we would never do that shit." — Speaker 1
"They don't throw out the food they're from. And you can't tell the difference between if it's eaten or it's not. Have you ever seen Indian food? That's true, yo. I wanna act like it ain't true. It ain't untrue." — Speaker 2
"Bro, he brought paper towels to the hurricane." — Speaker 1
The podcast episode begins with a humorous discussion initiated by news of Italian soccer games being played without attendees due to the coronavirus. This leads to a comical exchange about cultural differences, specifically focusing on the stereotype of Italians throwing bananas at black players. The speakers then pivot to American food consumption and waste, humorously suggesting that America's extensive food waste demonstrates its lack of racism. They explore the concept of wealth in relation to food accessibility, questioning the notion of starvation in wealthy nations and contrasting it with perceived scarcity elsewhere.
The conversation takes a turn to discuss Indian culture, humorously stereotyping their food habits and potential for food waste. This segment involves lighthearted jabs about people eating and studying, linking it to physical appearance. The discussion then shifts to the Puerto Rican community and their perceived reliance on electricity, contrasted with a hypothetical scenario of a hurricane where paper towels are offered as a solution. The analogy of bringing fans to a tornado is used to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
Towards the end, the episode includes a promotional message from Akash about a Patreon episode and features advertisements from USAA and Lifelock, offering financial and identity protection services respectively.
