Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"There's a point at which timing overrides intent. Overrides intent. And that's if it's long enough. There's a point at which it's enough time no matter what your intent was, it's gay." — Andrew Santino
"We have 12! How do we eat him up? There's some bitches out here, y'all. We're a kingdom, bro. No respect." — Akash
"If you're doing flirty shit with a girl. She gets uncomfortable. You stop. I think it's okay. Yeah. You keep on going. That's a problem. Timing is important." — Andrew Santino
The conversation begins by exploring the concept of "Beastie Alley" and how humans, unlike animals, seem to operate on a principle of consent. This leads to a philosophical divergence: are animals aware that humans are not of their kind, and does this lack of awareness influence interactions? The discussion then pivots to the notion of "intent" versus "timing" in defining actions, using a series of provocative hypotheticals. The speakers debate whether an action is defined by the initial thought or by its execution and duration.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to dissecting the nuanced definitions of actions based on their temporal aspect. Using crude analogies, the speakers explore how a brief touch might be perceived differently from a prolonged interaction, suggesting that "timing" can override "intent" in defining the nature of an act. This exploration touches upon social perceptions and the complexities of defining boundaries in behavior, even extending to discussions about identity and self-perception.
The episode concludes by touching upon broader societal themes and personal experiences, with mentions of other podcasters and public figures. The speakers also discuss the potential for different sensory experiences in individuals with disabilities, drawing parallels to how other senses might be heightened. Ultimately, the overarching theme revolves around the subjective and often fluid nature of defining actions and behaviors based on the interplay of intent and timing.
