Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"I tapped out in 3.76 Okay, because what I thought was I could breathe for some reason I thought I could breathe like this like Like I don't know why I thought that I could breathe, but it went right up my nose and went in my mouth and I was out and fucking three Alex did what seven seconds?" — Speaker 1
"I swear to God. I thought they were reacting to the wasting of water because they're so used to not having water in these parts of the world They were trying to swallow it." — Speaker 1
"It's an effective way to torture these motherfuckers man and like you guys were who said that about the cleanup I did you say the cleanup. It's just not bloody It's like you feel much better about yourself when you when you're water board like I could waterboard somebody" — Speaker 1
The conversation centers on a personal experience with waterboarding, detailing the immediate and overwhelming physical sensations that lead to a rapid surrender. Speakers recount their personal attempts, emphasizing how the sensation of water entering the nose and mouth, coupled with the inability to breathe, causes them to "tap out" within seconds. This personal experience leads to a discussion on how media portrayals of waterboarding might differ from the visceral reality, with one speaker noting their initial belief that individuals in arid regions might react differently due to water scarcity.
Further analysis delves into the psychological aspect, suggesting that the perceived severity of torture can be influenced by external narratives. The speakers humorously touch upon the messiness and potential for mildew associated with the practice, contrasting it with the idea of it being a "cleaning" process. The conversation also explores the idea of performing waterboarding as a "bit" or a challenge, with some speakers sharing instances of it being done on stage.
