Transcript
- 0:00>> Speaker A: Don't get poison oak on your ding dong.
- 0:03Like, you don't want that.
- 0:05That's zero out of ten bad time.
- 0:08I haven't had it. Thank God.
- 0:11But I'm speaking from,
- 0:13like, anytime anything
- 0:16interacts with your nethers, it's always
- 0:19bad.
- 0:23Welcome back to privy Rivy is a
- 0:25podcast about bathrooms
- 0:28recorded in my home bathroom.
- 0:31I'm your host, hunter Hoover. I love
- 0:33bathrooms, and, uh, I'm finding
- 0:36that I've spent a lot of time in them
- 0:39recently. I have a couple of, um,
- 0:43bathroom updates at the top of the show here. I'll
- 0:46get them out of the way, uh, in case you
- 0:48don't listen to the show, to hear me talk about going to the
- 0:51bathroom. And the first is
- 0:53that Applebee's is
- 0:56definitely a zone for
- 0:59me know, people give
- 1:02taco Bell a pretty rough shake.
- 1:04Um, but it is not taco bell who is doing
- 1:07me dirty. Uh, it is definitely
- 1:10Applebee's.
- 1:13A few weeks ago, I would say about a week and a half
- 1:16ago, um, after young adults group, we like
- 1:19to go out on the town and get a
- 1:21snack and a bite to eat. And often the only
- 1:24thing open, or the only thing worth
- 1:27eating at that is still open, that is also
- 1:30cost effective. Um, at the time, is
- 1:33Applebee's. Um, we're not eating at Red Robin right now because
- 1:36the red robin in our local neighborhood had the
- 1:39yucky maggot boys. And so we're not going
- 1:42there currently. And so
- 1:44one of the things that's happening as a result,
- 1:48one of the things that is happening as a result,
- 1:51uh, is,
- 1:54yeah, we're limited on where we are able to
- 1:57eat comfortably. Uh, and so
- 2:00we went out to Applebee's again, as
- 2:03you want to do in
- 2:06the city of Albany here. And,
- 2:08uh, I didn't go crazy or
- 2:11anything. I got a humble tray of
- 2:14eight chicken wings and some waffle
- 2:16fries. And it's not healthy by any
- 2:19stretch of the imagination, but I didn't go
- 2:22hog wild about it. And
- 2:25later that night, I had a
- 2:28quad flush deluxe four
- 2:30flush job and was
- 2:33sitting, uh, on ye oldie
- 2:36recording throne for an hour
- 2:39and 40 minutes. And I know you hear
- 2:42that and you go like, yeah, right. I
- 2:44stood up. The longest I stood up for was
- 2:47maybe three minutes, during which time I washed
- 2:50my hands and was deceived
- 2:53into thinking I would be able to return
- 2:56to bed to get some more slumber.
- 2:59Uh, nay, verily,
- 3:02I got absolutely roached and poached by my
- 3:05own bowels. And it probably
- 3:07has nothing to do with the pound and a half of
- 3:10cheese that Applebee's put on top of my waffle
- 3:13fries, but
- 3:17Applebee's is doing me dirty. Also,
- 3:20uh, there's these things called ghost
- 3:22kitchens. Uh, essentially, from what I can tell
- 3:25is companies who don't have the
- 3:28stones to build a restaurant in an area
- 3:31or are just fiscally responsible
- 3:34not to, they will rent out kitchen
- 3:37use of an already
- 3:39established location, in this case,
- 3:42Applebee's, and
- 3:45they will make their wares out
- 3:48of the Applebee's kitchen and sell them.
- 3:51And so, um, I was out doing some
- 3:53doordash, and this homie's order pops
- 3:56up, and it's like, hey, y'all go on over to cosmic
- 3:59wings. Now, here's the deal.
- 4:01Albany's not that big. Albany, Oregon's not that big.
- 4:04And I'm going, there is not a, uh, cosmic
- 4:07wings here. And I drive on over to
- 4:11Apple. Well, I punch in the thing, and it says,
- 4:13hey, here's your navigation. And I'm looking, I'm like,
- 4:16well, that's Applebee's. So I drive over there, and then it says in
- 4:19the. You know, you pick these up at
- 4:22Applebee's. This is where you do this. And, uh,
- 4:25I go, uh. Ah, well, okay. And I go in,
- 4:27and she hands me this small tray
- 4:30of chicken wings, and I look down, and I'm like, oh,
- 4:33this dude's about to have a rough night.
- 4:36Because I sure did, because I ate the same thing,
- 4:39and I got, like, super chaz deluxe on
- 4:41this mess. So,
- 4:44uh, if you're out there and you
- 4:46had the tray of eight chicken wings from Applebee's
- 4:49and it did, you foul. Let us
- 4:52know. Privy cast. But right out of the gate
- 4:55here, I want to share a brief hunter's
- 4:58anecdotes, uh, to keep you afloat to
- 5:01get us started.
- 5:11This hunter's anecdotes is called
- 5:14camp plunger out of proportion.
- 5:17Uh, so a few weeks ago, about. Actually almost a
- 5:20month ago now, I was, uh, helping out with a
- 5:22kids summer church camp, and, uh, I
- 5:25was asked to come out and speak. Had a great time.
- 5:28And one of the things about camp, especially when it's
- 5:31camp for little kids, is the food
- 5:34is just phenomenal.
- 5:38It's just comfort food and food that they
- 5:41know that small children are going to eat without complaint
- 5:44and without anxiety. So we're talking
- 5:46pizza and chicken nuggets and pancakes,
- 5:49like all of the things that I thrive on
- 5:52as an adult man. And
- 5:55so we're out there, and
- 5:57camp food is really good. There's a lot of cheese involved,
- 6:00and there's a lot of Mac and cheese in the mix.
- 6:03Um, and one of the things that
- 6:06this camp food does, especially to these kiddos,
- 6:09is it kind of plugs them up, for lack of a
- 6:12better saying it. Half these campers either are
- 6:14constipated and the other half are, like, on
- 6:17overdukey mode. And
- 6:20the camp that we were at, uh, they had a
- 6:23custodian guy, and I don't know if that was his official title.
- 6:26I think it was, like, other duties as
- 6:28assigned custodian. Because my
- 6:31guy was out here, like, doing all sorts of weird od
- 6:34jobs. But he
- 6:37didn't necessarily come to this task
- 6:39prepared because the report goes out
- 6:42to him, hey, the girl's
- 6:45camp bathroom is
- 6:48plugged again. And you
- 6:51can kind of see this guy rolls his eyes. He's like, oh, my
- 6:53gosh, I am not believing this. Again.
- 6:58He goes out there and he's talking
- 7:00to me and a couple of other people
- 7:03describing how this toilet is plugged. Now,
- 7:06if you know me, uh, I'm all on
- 7:09board for seeing a good clogged toilet. I'm all about
- 7:12it.
- 7:15It enthralls me. And so this guy gets ready to
- 7:18take off on his little quad, like, four x
- 7:21four little buggy. And I, like,
- 7:24run up and hop in the buggy with him's like, I'm coming with you.
- 7:27I've got ten, plus almost 15
- 7:29years of janitorial experience.
- 7:32You say this is like a, uh, level seven
- 7:35clog. I'll be the judge. Do you know what I'm saying?
- 7:38And so we're going out here, and
- 7:41before we do that, he's, like, standing right next to where
- 7:44all the people are, like, loading up food for
- 7:47their dinner, like, talking loudly about this
- 7:50clog. And it's like, this guy is a
- 7:53champion. And so I involved
- 7:55myself with the clog, and we go
- 7:58into the girls camp bathroom. After
- 8:01disclosing we were entering and shutting the
- 8:04bathroom down to avoid bad
- 8:07situation. And I go in,
- 8:09and here's the
- 8:12deal. The toilet was
- 8:15plugged, but it wasn't
- 8:18that bad, my dude.
- 8:21These little kids did clog this toilet,
- 8:24and it was clogged like woofie,
- 8:26but it had mostly
- 8:29clogged down the s bend somewhere. We're not talking,
- 8:32like, a surface clog. We're talking, like, a
- 8:35sub edge of the toilet bowl
- 8:37clog. This is something that a basic
- 8:40plunger is totally going to be able to
- 8:43handle. But here's the trouble with the thing. I'm
- 8:46standing there, and I go, well, homie, where's your plunger? And
- 8:49my dude starts tearing through the closet in the bathroom.
- 8:52He's going all over into all the other stalls.
- 8:54Guy doesn't have a plunger,
- 8:57like, rolled out on this plunge
- 9:00job to unclog this girl's bathroom
- 9:03toilet with no plunger. He
- 9:05didn't bring his materials to class.
- 9:08He's not prepared. And so we go back
- 9:11down, he goes, well, I bet there's a plunger in the kitchen. And I'm sitting
- 9:14here going, well, yeah, maybe, but
- 9:17you're going to want a toilet plunger. And somehow
- 9:20he procured a toilet plunger from the
- 9:22kitchen. That's another story. I
- 9:25don't understand why the toilet plunger was in the kitchen,
- 9:28but maybe they just bought a plunger and said, this will
- 9:31work for everything. But the
- 9:34toilet wasn't that bad. And we go back, and he's like, him and
- 9:37Han about getting how to do it,
- 9:40and I'm like, guy, I just snagged the plunger. And I just
- 9:43do what I do best.
- 9:47Just getting that on that
- 9:49toilet and just really busting up the clog,
- 9:52and he's sitting there, like, trying to flush it while I'm doing it.
- 9:55I was like, guy, you got to bust this nonsense up. Like, you got
- 9:58to plunge it for a little bit to clear the
- 10:00line before you start
- 10:03hitting the flusher. Just. And
- 10:06so the toilet wasn't that bad. It took me, like, maybe
- 10:09two minutes plunging and flushing to get this thing dealt
- 10:12with. But these little kids clogged the toilet
- 10:15so many times that week because there's too much
- 10:17cheese and chicken nuggets, which normally I'd
- 10:20say isn't a possibility.
- 10:22But for just pure
- 10:25concern of this camp's plumbing, uh, we're going to
- 10:28go ahead and say it was.
- 10:37We're going to dive right into our topic this week. It's
- 10:40privy summer. And speaking,
- 10:43uh, of summer, it's in full swing.
- 10:46It's hotter than a yak out here.
- 10:49And speaking of, you know, what is
- 10:51swinging in summer?
- 10:54Golf clubs.
- 10:57This week on the pod, we're talking about making
- 11:00brown in the back nine. What's the
- 11:02history of bathrooms on the golf
- 11:05course? What's the etiquette for taking a
- 11:07deuce while hitting one off of the green
- 11:10or the fairway? You can tell how many times
- 11:13I've played golf. And we have a very
- 11:16special installment of poo in the news to
- 11:19round off the episode. But first, we got to talk about
- 11:22bathrooms a little bit. That's why we're here. As with
- 11:25most outdoor summer activities,
- 11:29golfers use the
- 11:32revered Porta potty many times.
- 11:34So I got the astute pleasure of
- 11:37using a, uh, hymns and herms,
- 11:39uh, porta potty situation at the Oregon coast. They
- 11:42had a blue and pink one, and though not marked for
- 11:45his and hers, it was kind of implied. I did
- 11:48use the one that would stereotypically be considered the
- 11:51hers, and I will report it was full of
- 11:54poop. So that's fun. And
- 11:56was in the exact same condition as
- 11:59the hymns toilet. So, like,
- 12:01ladies, you're doing just
- 12:04as awful stuff. That's all I'm saying about it.
- 12:07But what's the history of bathrooms
- 12:10and the golf course? Like I said, most m
- 12:14golfers today will use the revered Porta
- 12:16potty if those amenities are found
- 12:19on their golf course of choice.
- 12:21However, this landscape and this
- 12:24expectation of porta potties on the golf course,
- 12:27things, uh, have changed. And we're
- 12:30going to take a brief look at the history of golf
- 12:33before we dive into where these golfers
- 12:37squat, their little golfers, you know what I'm saying?
- 12:40In short, the earliest mentions of
- 12:43golf are around the twelve hundreds in
- 12:45the Netherlands. However,
- 12:48this golfing air quotes golfing
- 12:51didn't look like the golfing that
- 12:55the homies are doing today. Uh, mostly
- 12:57they were hitting with a ball
- 13:00of varying
- 13:03sizes. But all I would say, in the small category of
- 13:06ball, they're hitting it with various
- 13:09instruments, stick shaped and
- 13:11otherwise, toward an agreed upon
- 13:14goal. Now, if you've ever played,
- 13:17like, rudimentary disc golf, where you
- 13:19don't have the cages, but you're just like, oh, first to
- 13:22hit the trunk of the tree wins. That was like golf back
- 13:25then. Like, first person to hit it
- 13:28through the door of the clubhouse wins.
- 13:32They probably didn't have a clubhouse, but this was the
- 13:34essential state of golf until the
- 13:37Scottish came up with what looks
- 13:40a lot like what we have as golf today.
- 13:43The Scots took the golf c
- 13:46o l f golf that the Dutch
- 13:49were playing, and they made some minor tweaks to
- 13:52it. And here's the interesting thing.
- 13:54The early mentions of this golf, or
- 13:57kolf, are of it being banned
- 14:00or frowned upon in Scotland. So,
- 14:03like, Scotland hijacks
- 14:06golf from the Dutch, and then, like, shortly thereafter,
- 14:09it gets banned in their country.
- 14:11James II, he's the king. King
- 14:14Jimmy prohibited the game, as it,
- 14:17quote, distracted from the military
- 14:20and archery practice. You've got these
- 14:23military and archery people out there, and they're
- 14:26supposed to be practicing, know, doing their
- 14:28warm ups or doing their procedures and
- 14:31their marksman training. And my dudes are bored and
- 14:34they're smacking golf balls around like, you can't
- 14:37blame. But yeah, King James was
- 14:40like, you know what? No fun for you. Stop
- 14:43it. Later, when Mary Queen of
- 14:46Scots'husband was murdered, she
- 14:49was criticized for playing golf when she,
- 14:52quote, should have been mourning.
- 14:54Golf was included on a list of banned
- 14:57activities to do on the Sabbath in
- 15:00Scotland. And within a hundred years,
- 15:03they transitioned from this idea of
- 15:06golf being this taboo and banned thing that
- 15:08you do, apparently when your husband dies to cope with
- 15:11it, to being the
- 15:14almost national sport.
- 15:17With golf tournaments
- 15:20being hosted in the country, golf
- 15:23became, uh, more widespread and became a national
- 15:26competition by the 17 hundreds.
- 15:29And there have been a lot of changes to the game. Uh,
- 15:32most notably, wood clubs turned into metal
- 15:35clubs, golf bags using animals
- 15:38as carts, uh, prior to
- 15:41electricity, and other powered
- 15:43carts, originally, a lot
- 15:46of the holes were eleven whole courses that you played
- 15:49out and then back in reverse. They would have
- 15:52almost two holes per two
- 15:55courses per hole, I guess, is the way to think of
- 15:58it. And then they combined
- 16:00into short holes to form nine and later,
- 16:0318, which is what they have to date.
- 16:05But one development that followed
- 16:08the development of the rest of the world was how you
- 16:11went to the bathroom while playing golf.
- 16:14For those who don't play golf, like me,
- 16:17uh, I do play miniature golf.
- 16:21I will smack some mini golf
- 16:24right up and down. Um, I
- 16:27love mini golf. I think mini golf is real
- 16:29golf. And we should call
- 16:32not mini golf big golf. So
- 16:35for the rest of this, when I say golf, I'm going
- 16:38to try to remind you that I mean big
- 16:41golf. So for those who don't play
- 16:44big golf, like me, you may be surprised here, the whole
- 16:46game could take two to 4 hours to complete.
- 16:50Hugh, that is a long,
- 16:54just time to be playing
- 16:56golf in general. In my opinion, maybe it's not.
- 17:00And before we talk about what you do for
- 17:03bathrooming during those two to 4
- 17:05hours, back in the day, it looked a lot
- 17:08like most pooping and peeing did at the time. You
- 17:11went and hit the bush, you sprayed skeet
- 17:14into the street and you put brown in
- 17:17the bush like you dig a
- 17:20cathole and let that joker fly. You're
- 17:23in the woods. It's golf. We're not
- 17:26talking about the prim and proper golf
- 17:28fairways that we have today. No, this was
- 17:31a different time. But again, the golf
- 17:34course was less groomed and maintained and now things
- 17:37are different. People are so hoity toity about their
- 17:40golf grass. It's like, oh, don't chip it. Um,
- 17:43so what do people do for the
- 17:45bathroom? And what was the
- 17:48progression from bushweed to where we are
- 17:51today. Like, how did we go from
- 17:53getting sully deep in the poison oak? Don't get
- 17:56poison oak on your ding dong.
- 17:59You don't want that. That's zero out of ten
- 18:02bad time. I haven't had it,
- 18:05thank God. But I'm speaking
- 18:08from anytime anything
- 18:11interacts with your nethers, it's always
- 18:14bad. So, like, poison oak has
- 18:17to be bad. That's the logic there. In case you didn't
- 18:20understand, that's called privy splaining.
- 18:23And, uh, uh, as you might guess,
- 18:26there's not a lot of information
- 18:29on this development in golf because most
- 18:31people, when they're going out to play golf, they're not like giving
- 18:35an insane amount of thought to like,
- 18:37I wonder what the turd making situation on this
- 18:40joker is going to be, huh? You know what, it'll be fine. I'll
- 18:43just go. In the late 17 and early
- 18:4618 hundreds, they did start to care about the holes being
- 18:49dug and things being left behind. It's like, hey, cut
- 18:52that out. And likely golf
- 18:54managers would dig their privy pits on
- 18:57site and at the beginning or end of the halfway
- 19:00point of the chorus for your brown deposits. So
- 19:03they would dig a, ah, centralized
- 19:05cesspit for you to go and put an outhouse out there
- 19:08for you to go like drop scoot in, really
- 19:11plop one in the fairway, you know what I'm saying?
- 19:14As time would progress, many courses would
- 19:17stick to the standard chemical portable toilet.
- 19:20The beautiful bloom juice, uh,
- 19:22hopefully a little better kept than the ones at the state
- 19:25fair and public park. I went to the Lynn county
- 19:28fair. Um, not that many
- 19:30porta potties. Uh, they actually had good bathroom
- 19:33access. It was actually pretty impressive, but,
- 19:36man. And then I went to the Oregon coast, like I said,
- 19:39I used the hers Porta potty and it was in better shape than
- 19:42the toilets at the coast. So, like,
- 19:45step, um, know sometimes those porta potties are
- 19:48good. Shout out to best pots for supplying the
- 19:51hymns and herms. There's something
- 19:54so poetic about
- 19:56this sport that has kind of taking on
- 19:59the Persona of the thing that rich guys
- 20:02and gals play or
- 20:05people do to get out of the house
- 20:08for a while. And it's kind of like what I
- 20:11would say, a high income sport.
- 20:15It's something so poetic about those group of
- 20:18people having to stack logs in the blue lake
- 20:21of a portable toilet. Like, it does
- 20:24your heart good. It makes you glad in your
- 20:26soul. Yeah,
- 20:31my homie's sitting on a small fortune of generational
- 20:34wealth, but you have to take a deuce into
- 20:37the blue lake just like everybody else, bud.
- 20:40So it's the great equalizer.
- 20:43Does your heart glad. Other
- 20:46golf courses and, uh, clubs
- 20:49would put in outdoor plumbing to the bathrooms,
- 20:52uh, on the back nine. And as the golf clubhouse
- 20:55became a thing, it, too, would house a bathroom amenity,
- 20:58uh, of a standard shopping mall. Like, they're going to have
- 21:01multiple bathrooms, that type thing. But others would
- 21:03put, um. And so the history on the
- 21:06golf course is just that. You used to use the
- 21:09sticks, and
- 21:12now there is at least one, but sometimes
- 21:15two bathrooms located on the course. One
- 21:18at the clubhouse at the beginning, and I guess,
- 21:21also the end, and one on
- 21:24the halfway point, the back nine.
- 21:27But all of this history
- 21:29doesn't tell us anything about what golf
- 21:32etiquette says you should do to hit up
- 21:35those amenities, because
- 21:37you often don't go golfing by yourself.
- 21:42Think of it like this. You're watching the big
- 21:45game, the super bowl, and
- 21:51Mr. Farv, I think, is one.
- 21:54He throws a very long pass,
- 21:57um, which for some reason is called a catholic
- 22:00thing. He does a Hail Mary. Maybe he
- 22:03sinned, I don't know. Um, but he
- 22:05sins really hard and throws a pass very
- 22:08far. And, um, right as my
- 22:11dude's getting ready to catch it, he just makes the
- 22:14tea with his hands. He's like, time out. I have to take a poop.
- 22:17And he just runs in the locker room.
- 22:19So when you're out golfing with your
- 22:22buddies and you're in the golf
- 22:24party, having to walk or ride
- 22:27a cart, five to ten plus minutes.
- 22:30Remember, you are way out there. If you're
- 22:32walking, it could be a 20 to 30 minutes walk
- 22:35back and then back from the
- 22:37clubhouse. If you're driving maybe five to ten minutes,
- 22:40and then you got to make the stop. You're looking at, like,
- 22:4330 minutes to an hour of
- 22:46delay. Big Tony has to get home to his
- 22:48wife because, you know, she's
- 22:51pissed that he's even out with the guys
- 22:54again. Like, you're going golfing again on a
- 22:56Saturday? We were supposed to go to
- 22:59the market. I have heirloom
- 23:02tomatoes I want to buy Tony.
- 23:05And then Tony's bud. Little
- 23:08Tony gets confusing to be,
- 23:11um, you know, he's out here. He's
- 23:14like, hey, big Tony, you remember
- 23:17when we got those breakfast burritos on the way in today? He's like,
- 23:20yeah, uh, it was rad. He goes, yeah, I'm about to make
- 23:23a rad in my pants right now. I gotta go back. And big
- 23:26Tony's like, you've got to be kidding me? And you're like this
- 23:29schmo driving all the way back to the clubhouse
- 23:31because you had too much Applebee's.
- 23:35Or, I mean, sorry, m too
- 23:37much breakfast burrito. People who play
- 23:40golf probably don't go to Applebee's. That's my
- 23:43guess on it. That's just my optics on that
- 23:46situation. So what do you do?
- 23:48I reached out to a buddy who I knew played some golf, and
- 23:51since I don't thwack balls, I had to ask someone
- 23:54who did, and he said, it's kind of
- 23:57an unspoken rule. Like, you go
- 24:00at the beginning or end, like, when you're starting your round or
- 24:03when you're ending the game, but you try not to go in the middle
- 24:06because you're delaying other people's games. And in the
- 24:09case of big Tony, their lives, if you have
- 24:11to pee, you can still absolutely hit the bush.
- 24:14Which I like that. I like that
- 24:17golfing like this kind of rich ish
- 24:20sport has the same bush wee rules as
- 24:23going on a hike. It's great. We agreed.
- 24:26He also noted, um, shout out to
- 24:28Josh. Stay tuned. That's all I'm going to say about
- 24:31that. He noted that there's
- 24:34something, like, so good
- 24:38about seeing some
- 24:41rich businessman or generational
- 24:44wealth golfer hose down a bush, just
- 24:46like common backwoods
- 24:49campers. It's delightful. He
- 24:52also noted that, um, many times,
- 24:54golfers play under
- 24:57the influence of
- 25:00alcohol and that this alcohol often wages
- 25:03war on their tiny rich bladders.
- 25:05I should note, while this is the expected
- 25:08action, it could directly disparage
- 25:11the woman golfer. Um, like, you could go bushweed,
- 25:14but if you're a lady, you might not want to do
- 25:17bushweed, especially if you're playing golf with a bunch of
- 25:19dudes. Sometimes the lady need to hit the
- 25:22loo for things outside one and two, and
- 25:25they probably aren't going to be leaving the spent product on the green.
- 25:28You know what I'm saying? Or maybe they
- 25:31should. Maybe they should just toss the spent feminine
- 25:34hygiene product right in the middle of the rough
- 25:37for these old rich dudes to find. Be like, hey, look what I
- 25:40deal with. Do you deal with this? Heck no, you
- 25:42don't. They make golf clubs that you
- 25:45can pee into, so that's cool. It's mostly a gag gift,
- 25:48but it still exists, so it ought to be mentioned.
- 25:51But as we will see,
- 25:54golf club owners might be stuck between
- 25:57a rock and a hard place. Or,
- 26:00as is the case in this poo in the
- 26:02news, a meth lab and a nasty
- 26:05surprise.
- 26:11The first article in this poo in the news, uh,
- 26:14as with all good bathroom articles, is
- 26:17from nearly ten years ago, uh, and it
- 26:20is brought to us by a local Oklahoma news
- 26:22station. The article is titled
- 26:25Porta Potty. Meth lab found on golf
- 26:28course. So,
- 26:30this takes place in Purcell, Oklahoma. And, uh,
- 26:33it says, undercover drug agents
- 26:36diffuse a miniature meth lab
- 26:38found inside
- 26:41of a Porta potty in the middle of a golf
- 26:44course. Tuesday. Again, ten years ago in
- 26:46Purcell, Oklahoma, the staff at
- 26:49the golf club noticed strange
- 26:52sports drink bottles with chemicals inside the Porta
- 26:55potty and called the police. Good on
- 26:57you. Yeah, I mean,
- 27:00like, sports drinks
- 27:03already kind of look like strange chemicals inside
- 27:06of a bottle, so I would be interested to know
- 27:09what that looked like. But the officers
- 27:12arrived and realized someone had been inside making
- 27:14meth using the, quote, shaken bake
- 27:17method, um, that'll do Ricky Bobby's heart.
- 27:20Real proud to know that he's got a shaken bake
- 27:22method, um, of making meth named after
- 27:25him. Three bottles were found. Two
- 27:28of them exploded before the detectives arrived,
- 27:31and the agents were able to neutralize the third bottle
- 27:33without harmful chemicals shooting out into the
- 27:36air and all over everyone. And one
- 27:39of the department corporals
- 27:42of the area, he said if someone would have been in the porta potty when
- 27:45that thing would have exploded, um, they would have
- 27:48been hit by flying chemicals and plastic and all other
- 27:51sorts of things. Investigators
- 27:54said they have a lead on one suspect, but said
- 27:57they believe others could be involved.
- 28:01The inside of the unit was damaged, but
- 28:03agents were able to submit latent fingerprints to a
- 28:06crime lab. So that's fun.
- 28:09Some guy snuck onto a golf course to pull a full
- 28:12Walter white and make some toilet meth.
- 28:15Because why not do that on the golf course? You
- 28:18know, the article notes
- 28:21that one of the bottles exploded, and if someone had been in
- 28:23there, it would have been bad. So I guess.
- 28:26Here's the public service announcement
- 28:29psa loading out right
- 28:31here at, uh, the middle of the poo of the news.
- 28:34If you go into a porta potty and you
- 28:37see just, like, bottles lying around, or you look down into the
- 28:40blue lake and you see, like, weird, strange looking
- 28:43bottles, maybe just don't use it
- 28:46because you could sit down and it could spray
- 28:48chemical meth up your bung holio. And that
- 28:51seems bad. Like, I'm pretty confident
- 28:54that's bad. And I'm sure this happens on
- 28:57non golf porta potties, but
- 29:00it's just so fun that it happened on a golf
- 29:03course. It's so poetic.
- 29:06It's such a great commentary. But
- 29:09maybe you're trying to fight the power. Or maybe someone is
- 29:12making meth in the golf course. Porta potty. You just
- 29:15can't make it to the clubhouse because
- 29:17sometimes nature calls.
- 29:20And this brings us to our second
- 29:23poo in the noose. And this article is
- 29:26called mystery pooper targeting
- 29:29holes of norwegian golf course.
- 29:31This article is from 2015, and it was
- 29:34originally sent to me by friend of the show Iron
- 29:37Snyder. Shout out, uh, Iron. This one's been sitting in my
- 29:40hopper for a while, and I just had
- 29:43to pair it with the right episode
- 29:46originally. So this article, again is
- 29:49from, uh, July 24,
- 29:512015. Uh,
- 29:54harfs Fjord, Norway.
- 29:57I love norwegian words because you get those fun
- 30:00j's in there. You get that? Fjord.
- 30:03Fjord. Harfs
- 30:05Fjord, Norway. It
- 30:08says, the groundskeeper of a norwegian
- 30:11golf course said, quote,
- 30:14a mystery pooper has been targeting
- 30:17golf course holes, and they must be a
- 30:19man, because, again, this is part of the
- 30:22quote, the poos are
- 30:25too massive to be from a woman. First
- 30:28of all, how dare you?
- 30:31If women want to take huge,
- 30:33disgusting turds, they dang well
- 30:36can. Thank you very much. It's
- 30:392022. Guy
- 30:42or girl? I'm not going to tell you how to live your
- 30:45life. Kenneth Tenfjord.
- 30:48So good. Yep, Kenneth, it's probably a guy.
- 30:51Groundskeeper at the Scavenger golf club
- 30:54said he has been finding human
- 30:57feces and toilet paper in golf course
- 30:59holes since 2005.
- 31:02Now, if you need to bring it
- 31:05back to memory, this article was
- 31:08written in 2015. My
- 31:10dude has been plopping
- 31:13beefers in golf course holes
- 31:16for ten years. So
- 31:19good. Tenthiord,
- 31:22the groundskeeper, says that he has a
- 31:24couple of favorite holes. Uh, I bet he
- 31:27does. And we know that it is a man, because, again,
- 31:30the poohs are too massive. Sexist.
- 31:33He poos only on weekdays. At least he
- 31:36honors the Sabbath. Do you know what I'm saying?
- 31:39On weekends, he has never found poo
- 31:42ten. Fjord says that the fecal
- 31:45discoveries are usually accompanied by used toilet
- 31:48paper, and he's wiping like the dude's got it figured
- 31:51out. The managing director of the club, whose
- 31:53name I'm gonna go for because it's another
- 31:56fun conglomerate, norwegian
- 31:59name Steiner
- 32:00Flozvick,
- 32:04said the mystery pooper used to arrive
- 32:07via bicycle. In the early morning
- 32:09dew, we would observe bicycle tracks on the
- 32:12course. Footsteps showed that he had done his
- 32:14business, and the bicycle tracks disappeared
- 32:17back the way they came. Dudes rolling up on a
- 32:20bike like stranger things
- 32:23season one style, and running out in the middle of
- 32:26this golf course to relieve himself just
- 32:28because
- 32:31Frod Jormland, can we get
- 32:34any more weird names on this article? It's not
- 32:37even that long. Like, there's so
- 32:40many weird names on this thing. Another
- 32:42groundskeeper said the club installed
- 32:45high powered spotlights to discourage
- 32:48the defecation. And
- 32:51this is the article. This is
- 32:54not the bathroom jokes we make here
- 32:57at privy. But
- 33:01they call this man the poopitrator.
- 33:04Now, listen,
- 33:07it's not bad.
- 33:10It's really good. Uh, but
- 33:13they say that this guy disabled these
- 33:15spotlights. Got him.
- 33:18It says he climbed up a tree next to the lights and,
- 33:21quote, wriggled far out. Wriggled with a
- 33:24wr, by the way, on a branch, and
- 33:27dismantled the spotlights. Like,
- 33:30how he managed to do that without electrocuting
- 33:33himself. This groundskeeper says he has no
- 33:35idea. And sometimes you hear a
- 33:38story and you think to yourself,
- 33:41uh, is this a simulation? Like, is this
- 33:43real?
- 33:46Is this all made up?
- 33:49Like, this dude, for ten years,
- 33:52frequented the same golf course in
- 33:55Norway and pooped in the
- 33:57golf course holes and in
- 34:00the green for ten years, and
- 34:03they never caught the guy.
- 34:06The kids I work with in the high school can't even
- 34:10devious lick a hand
- 34:12sanitizer bottle without getting caught. And my
- 34:15dude took a crap in golf course holes for ten
- 34:18years. Scott clean didn't get
- 34:20caught. They need to figure out their security and
- 34:23get some better lights. Like, if this guy is able to just shimmy
- 34:26up and put him out of commission, they never got,
- 34:29like, could you imagine? You thwack your ball
- 34:32real good. You really just
- 34:35put some Scottish on that ball. Not English. It's
- 34:38from Scotland, so we had to do Scottish. But
- 34:41you really just get some pepper behind that
- 34:43ball. You switch to donkey
- 34:46Kong, and you hit the power button, and you just
- 34:49kaplamo that golf ball, and it
- 34:52soars right down kerplunky. Hole
- 34:55in one. You're on
- 34:58cloud nine. You're thrilled.
- 35:01And then you walk up to the hole, probably
- 35:03with gloved, white gloved hand, and
- 35:06you reach into the hole, and there's just
- 35:09poop with your ball.
- 35:14Your ball is resting on top of a turd.
- 35:17It's the perfect crime. I will note
- 35:20in 2015, it says that the guy just kind of
- 35:23stopped. And I tried to find any form of information. I
- 35:26couldn't. Some mysteries will never be solved. And if you have
- 35:29more information about this
- 35:32golf hole pooper,
- 35:36you got to send it our way.
- 35:39This brings us to the end of
- 35:42poo in the news, privy golf
- 35:44edition.
- 35:48And this also brings us to the end of another
- 35:51episode. If you're going golfing, this
- 35:53summer, remember, it's okay to go in the bush. Your
- 35:56friends might actually prefer it. And
