Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"If aliens come and invade this planet, we have to fucking fight for our survival as a human race. The meeting's going to be held in New York City and we're going to serve them Italian food. It's just what it is. Those are the two best things we have to offer as the Americans. Italian food in New York City." — [Unnamed Speaker]
"My address, 7611, 14th Avenue. He goes, 'You know what I call this place, the Italian Alamo.' He goes, 'This is the last town, we got Chinese attack from all sides.'" — [Unnamed Speaker]
"We normally start this episode with a flagrant thought of the week... I have a feeling we're going to be pretty flagrant." — Kazim
