Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
"I'm much more inappropriate with him. So like. So he was just two days old. Yeah, but like fuck. Like the second I saw his like dick and balls. Like I'm immediately commenting on it. Like immediately I'm making jokes about it." — Speaker 1 (Discussing raising a son)
"When you see that cute little thing get like that, it's really -- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. When they fucking squirm their head to get out, that shit is great." — Speaker 2 (Describing a C-section birth)
"The second baby comes out, parents in the room. Just double dropped. Dude, feeding it up. It might-- No, double dropped. Because it's just like, 'He's crying, I'm sorry now.'" — Speaker 1 (Discussing the shift in parental focus after a second child)
The hosts kick off the new year with a candid discussion about their recent experiences with new babies. One host recounts the intense and somewhat graphic details of a C-section, emphasizing the partner's perspective and the unexpected visual elements that can arise during the procedure. The conversation then shifts to the differences in parenting a son versus a daughter. One host shares how he feels more comfortable being playfully inappropriate with his son, contrasting it with the protective and pure affection he reserves for his daughter, highlighting distinct bonding styles.
Further elaborating on the parenthood journey, the discussion touches upon the challenges of maintaining friendships and the reactions (or lack thereof) from peers after a child's birth. The hosts also touch upon the topic of cultural influences, specifically mentioning the Trinidadian accent picked up by one of the host's daughters. There's a brief, humorous tangent about various food items and their origins, quickly pivoting back to the core themes of family and personal experiences.
The episode delves into the idea of a "white space" and how it influences communication and behavior, particularly concerning language and comfort levels with certain topics. This leads to a broader conversation about sex positivity and how individuals might navigate discussions about sexuality within different environments and relationships. The hosts use humor and personal anecdotes to explore these themes, concluding with reflections on the evolving nature of relationships and self-perception after becoming parents.
