Ep. 58 May the Flush Be with You (Star Wars Refreshers) · Privycast

0:00
>> Speaker A: Which is this feeling like, I think it's
0:03
like bad pizza, but it can, like, move
0:06
crap.
0:13
Welcome back to privy. Privy
0:16
is a podcast about
0:18
bathrooms recorded
0:21
here in my home bathroom. Uh,
0:24
it was really writing to be, uh, on
0:26
location with Austin last episode,
0:29
and, uh, I hope to get the opportunity to do
0:32
more of those, for lack of a better
0:35
term, home visit episode. It was
0:37
really cool to record in his
0:40
bathroom, uh, in that
0:43
intimate space. And I mean intimate,
0:46
happy Cinco de Mayo. And that's
0:49
honestly, instead of talking about that, we're going to do something else
0:51
today, because I'm pretty sure
0:54
that Cinco de Mayo is one of
0:57
those holidays that America kind of runs
1:00
rough shot over. Either that, or it's one of those
1:03
things that started out as kind
1:05
of made up. I don't know the history of this. It's
1:08
probably some battle or
1:11
independent something, but I'm ignorant and
1:14
don't know. And then I think it's kind of turned
1:17
into a day for
1:19
discounted to cheap to free tacos
1:22
or maybe getting a little hooch on.
1:25
So, yeah, we're going to get
1:28
into, uh, a different topic this
1:30
week. Instead of talking about cinco de mayo, uh,
1:33
because we don't want to trudge waters that
1:36
could be potentially loaded. Uh, but
1:39
before we get into that, I had the astute
1:42
pleasure. I have to tell you this story. This isn't a full
1:45
on Hunter's anecdotes, because this is like a real
1:47
time weekly update here at the
1:50
beginning. Um, but I had the astute
1:53
pleasure, and it was stute, uh,
1:56
of photobombing,
1:59
making a stupid face in a guy's video
2:02
at the gym. Now, you're going to hear that and you're going to go,
2:05
how old is this guy? He ain't got nothing
2:07
better to do. He's got to sneak up behind
2:11
unsuspecting victims in the gym and lurk
2:14
behind them. But no, that's not what's going on. So bear with
2:17
me. Go on this journey with me, if you will.
2:20
So what you need to
2:22
know, uh, is at the gym,
2:25
and I know I talk too much about going to the gym. Whatever it
2:28
is, what it is, if you've ever met me, you know that it's not
2:31
any sort of a flex of any sort. It's more of just like,
2:34
thing, uh, for survival at this point. But, uh, if you
2:37
go to the gym, you know that there are these people,
2:40
and I'm saying people. It's not just guys.
2:43
Because, you know, this happens on both
2:45
sides. Anyway, uh, the
2:48
people who go to the gym. And, well, the first
2:51
group that drives me absolutely bonkers are the
2:54
people who go to the gym, and then they just post
2:57
up on the
2:59
machines, and they're sitting on the machines, and you can
3:02
see them. They're, like, scrolling through instaturred
3:05
or watching TikTok, and
3:09
they sit in that position on the
3:11
machine for multiple minutes on end without
3:14
exercising. And that's fine. I'm not over here,
3:17
like, saying, hey, you got to be on your grind every
3:20
millisecond of your existence inside the
3:23
gymnasium. But get off the
3:26
machine. Especially if it's
3:28
a low access machine where they have
3:31
one, maximum two of the
3:34
machines that will exercise that muscle group.
3:38
There are some people who doing free weights is not an
3:40
option to them, and so get the freaking heck off
3:43
the machines. Like, free
3:46
it up, look at your phone over by
3:49
the drinking fountain, or
3:52
sit down. There's, like, benches and chairs and stuff, like, go
3:55
that. But there's also these people. The other group
3:58
that drives me a little bonkers is
4:01
the people who go to the gym, and
4:05
probably either after they have
4:08
done their gyming or sometimes
4:10
before, spend
4:13
countless minutes
4:15
vainly standing in front of the
4:18
mirror, flexing their
4:21
muscles and staring at themselves,
4:24
videoing, photographing
4:27
themselves. And the thing
4:29
is, this happens in the bathroom,
4:33
and I'm pretty sure that you're not supposed to
4:36
take video photographs in the
4:38
bathroom. Now, those of you who
4:41
follow the privycast socials know
4:44
that what I have just said is
4:47
a little hypocritical, but there is
4:50
generally no human being pictured
4:53
in the privycast social bathroom
4:56
photos. So I want to note that. But it's
4:59
the bathroom. Like, people are taking dumpies
5:02
and weewees in the background while
5:04
you flex and make your dumb
5:07
lips in the mirror at their
5:10
phone. And I do not understand this,
5:13
but, um, on one of my recent visits to
5:16
the gym, this guy had set his phone
5:19
up on top of the soap
5:22
dispenser, and it was facing him and
5:25
recording him as he
5:28
flexed at the video
5:31
and made a smolder face,
5:34
um, which, when you flex and
5:37
smolder at the same time, it really just looks like
5:40
you have to poop, but whatever.
5:43
Um, and so his phone is just
5:45
dangling. It's
5:48
balanced. But those soap dispensers aren't necessarily
5:51
flat. It's just kind of like balancing, dangling
5:54
on top of this soap dispenser, waiting for some
5:56
person to just walk by and bump it and send it
5:59
plummeting onto the very clean
6:02
bathroom floor, or the
6:05
wet sink full of soddy
6:08
buddies. So you have your phone balancing
6:11
there. This guy's doing this circus act with
6:14
his phone balanced here, and
6:18
you're filming your biceps as you flex. And you also try to
6:21
keep a fart in because you're straining so hard.
6:24
And then here comes hunter, and I see
6:27
this, uh, and I'm on my way to my pre
6:29
workout deposit. If you, uh, are
6:32
on the poop map app, you'll know this is a frequent
6:35
stop. And I have the option. I come
6:38
around the corner and I see this
6:41
flexathon happening with this dude's phone. He's
6:43
like, yeah, he's doing
6:46
that. And I see this happening, and I
6:49
realized that I have
6:52
some options here. The first
6:55
is I can stand there and let him
6:57
finish his video.
7:01
Um, which that ain't happening,
7:03
because when I go to gym, I am there to get
7:06
in and out as quick as possible. I'm not standing around
7:09
waiting for some flexmaster 42 to get
7:12
his flex on. I'm not going to wait for it.
7:15
I'm sorry. Film yourself somewhere else. I know that's
7:18
probably very rude, but the
7:21
other option is
7:24
I can ask
7:26
to or sneak behind the guy,
7:29
um, so as not to ruin the video, uh,
7:32
which most of you would hear and go, that's probably
7:35
the polite option. Surely that's what hunter went
7:38
for. Um, but I'm here to tell you that the other
7:41
third option is I can do what I did do. So
7:44
as I come around the corner, I just pretend like I
7:46
have no idea that he
7:49
is playing muscly man rando cleavage.
7:52
And I just walk right in front of the
7:55
camera, just in
7:58
between the camera and Flexmaster
8:01
42. And the guy is like, oh,
8:04
my bad, my bad. And I have my headphones
8:07
in. I just go straight to
8:12
the urinal and then do. Yeah,
8:14
which is definitely the shot. Uh, the urinal
8:17
is 100% in the shot. Like, there's no
8:20
chance that it's not in there. I know what I'm doing
8:23
and I pretend like I have no idea what's going on.
8:26
And then I do that. And you better believe
8:29
I flush and those gym flushers.
8:33
Um, and then I go up to wash my hands, and
8:36
I select the sink that is nearest
8:39
to where his phone is balancing. And I give
8:42
the. On the soap right where his phone is
8:45
at. And you can see the phone jibble a little bit.
8:48
Uh, and he moves up and
8:51
stops the recording on his
8:53
phone. And so I finish washing
8:56
my hands, and he thinks that I'm
8:59
going for paper towel, which I will note, I usually do
9:02
paper towel I'm all about the paper towel, unless we
9:05
have Dyson hand dryers. And then I'm all over the
9:08
Dyson wind tunnel hand dryers. So
9:10
he sees that I'm done. He goes up and he starts his
9:13
video again. But then
9:16
I walk over to
9:19
the air blowy thing. He's not
9:23
getting this number right while this homie is trying
9:26
to flex his pecs doing his
9:29
thing. Um, so he
9:31
stops it, and I get done with that. And he walks
9:34
back up, and he starts the video again. And
9:38
this time I walk back through and I walk
9:41
again right in front of the guy in the camera. But as I
9:44
do, I look kind of over at his
9:47
phone just at the right time so he can't
9:49
see me. And I just make the
9:52
dumbest, grumpy cat derp face
9:55
you can imagine at this
9:58
guy's video. And I just continue by.
10:00
And I have been checking the
10:03
tags for the gym that I go to here in
10:06
Albany, just praying
10:09
that I will see my idiotic
10:12
mug in this guy's video. But I haven't seen it yet. He
10:15
probably edited it out. Um,
10:18
but if it was up to me, the gym would have no mirrors and no
10:21
windows. A big empty box filled
10:23
with heavy things for men and women to lift.
10:27
Anyway, welcome back to
10:29
privy. Today we have a
10:32
super topical episode that is not about
10:35
Cinco de Mayo. Um,
10:37
I've greeted you with that, and we're moving on. But
10:40
yesterday was Star wars day.
10:43
Now, uh, on the list of completely
10:46
made up and pointless holidays, Star
10:49
Wars Day, may the fourth. See,
10:52
this is one of those not so clever word plays about
10:55
something. That character. So a character in Star wars, you
10:58
see, it's quite simple.
11:03
I'm going to connect these dots. Bear with me.
11:06
It's intricate how we got the name of this
11:08
holiday, but a character in Star
11:11
wars, the
11:13
multimedia franchise at this point,
11:16
has said may the
11:19
force, which is this
11:21
feeling like, I think it's like bad pizza,
11:24
but it can move crap, which I would
11:27
argue bad pizza. Producing a big enough
11:30
fart could do the same thing.
11:33
Anyway, um, may the fourth.
11:36
May the fourth. You get it. It sounds like
11:39
somebody with maybe a weird lisp is trying to say
11:41
it. Um, which maybe this holiday is insensitive because
11:44
of that, but May 4. But, yeah,
11:47
May 4. May the fourth. You
11:50
get it. It's funny, right?
11:52
So funny. Uh, but George Lucas, the
11:55
creator and originator of Star wars,
11:58
wanted to adapt one of his
12:01
beloved franchises into a movie.
12:04
Um, so we're going back history of Star wars. Um,
12:07
this is a bathroom podcast. Podcast about bathrooms.
12:10
And now we're going to talk about Star wars for a hot minute.
12:13
So George Lucas, he wanted to adapt
12:16
one of his, um, most beloved franchises,
12:18
probably from his youth, into a movie, um, and that
12:21
was Flash Gordon. But he could not get the rights to
12:24
flash Gordon. And so in response to this,
12:27
Lucas resolved to create
12:30
his own Sci-Fi opera style film
12:33
series. He started out
12:36
in the Sci-Fi scene with his debut
12:38
movie, THX 1138,
12:42
but he still had a goal in mind.
12:45
And from his work on
12:48
THX, Lucas got discovered. Uh,
12:51
but the funding. So people knew this guy had the
12:54
chops to make a Sci-Fi movie, but the
12:57
funding was not there, and so he
13:00
took a job directing what, in my opinion, is a
13:03
better film than Star wars. American
13:05
graffiti. In
13:08
1973, George Lucas, the man who
13:10
created Star wars, released american
13:13
graffiti. American, uh, graffiti, if you haven't seen
13:16
it, is a coming of age story about the rock and roll culture of
13:19
the, uh,
13:21
and one character probably
13:24
lives on in our culture today from that
13:27
and in the zeitgeist, if you will. Um,
13:30
Wolfman Jack became this beloved
13:33
entity in american culture at the
13:36
time, and the film's
13:38
success generated enough buz and
13:41
enough money for Lucas to
13:44
pursue his passion project. And
13:46
so in 1977,
13:50
Lucas directed and released Star
13:52
wars, which later he
13:55
renamed episode four a
13:58
New Hope. And with its success,
14:01
Lucas made plans to make nine more
14:04
movies. And if you do the
14:06
math, that movie did not come out
14:09
too long ago. And with these nine
14:12
movies, he would also make what I like
14:15
to call a metric
14:18
dump ton of money.
14:21
Imagine the audacity nowadays. I
14:24
was thinking about this. We just went and saw Sonic
14:27
the Hedgehog two. Really good movie, actually. I think
14:30
I liked it better than Sonic the Hedgehog one.
14:32
But I'm sitting in
14:35
theater and, uh,
14:37
the previews are like, hey,
14:40
friends, you remember that old movie that you
14:43
watched 20 to 40 years ago?
14:46
Well, we're going to make it again, and we're going to do a
14:48
sequel. And so they've got, like, top maverick
14:51
in Jurassic park world seven
14:54
or something. And I'm not against
14:57
this, but just imagine the
14:59
audacity of a person
15:02
in the year 2022 of our Lord
15:05
releasing a movie and then
15:08
saying, nay, verily, no sequels. I will not
15:11
make a prequel. I will not make a sequel. I
15:14
will make exactly as much money as this one movie
15:17
generates for me. And then you got, like, Kurt or not
15:20
Kurt Cameron, James Cameron, uh,
15:23
over here, like, yes, Avatar five in
15:26
40 years is going to be awesome. Um,
15:29
and it's wild. We
15:32
just have to beat the horse dead.
15:36
No need to do that. Just make a good movie. That's all
15:39
I'm saying. Hunter's rant over, but
15:42
from pretty much the beginning, Lucas had
15:44
plans for at least nine films.
15:47
Now, he probably didn't foresee
15:50
the great Mickey Mouse takeover,
15:52
but I'm also pretty sure that Mr. Lucas
15:55
is aok with Mickey Mouse
15:58
getting his large gloved hand up
16:01
on the Star wars ball.
16:03
So he made these movies. And
16:06
in the last almost 50 years,
16:09
Star wars has produced 13
16:12
movies, 17 plus TV show
16:15
series, video games and
16:18
books. It's multimedia.
16:21
It's also like people actually hold to
16:24
Jedi ism as a religion,
16:26
whatever. Um, I'm not getting into it. No
16:29
shade. But like, yeah,
16:32
never mind. Um, and so there's a
16:35
lot going on here. There's a lot of data on Star
16:38
wars. And I'm going to just tell you right now, I am not a Star
16:41
wars fan. I'm not even a
16:44
Star wars enthusiast. Um,
16:47
in general, I don't really care about Star wars.
16:50
So then you're asking yourself, well, what in the
16:52
heck is this guy who cares
16:55
deeply about bathrooms talking
16:58
about Star wars? Well, you see, it's may the fourth,
17:01
and we have some data that we need to put on the bathroom
17:04
plane of existence here. Because with
17:07
all this data, all this
17:10
recording and TV shows and
17:13
movies and Star wars being around
17:16
for 45 years, we've seen a lot of things
17:19
from their universe. They got blue milk and
17:22
they have, like, cultural touch points. They got enough
17:24
data about the culture of Star wars that they
17:27
can make an entire amusement park section in
17:30
Disney about the thing. But here's the thing.
17:33
You know what Star wars has very little dad
17:36
on? How do the characters go to the
17:39
bathroom? Like, where's
17:41
princess, uh, Abdullah? Uh,
17:45
blam gata. Like, where's she going?
17:48
Poo? I mean, not to be crass, is she
17:51
a Disney princess? I'm sure there's somebody out there that's,
17:54
like, adamant that she's a Disney princess.
17:57
I don't know how that works, and I don't care.
17:59
Um, but
18:02
how do they go to the bathroom? I'm going to give
18:04
you what is generally an accepted
18:07
timeline of the commentary and
18:10
info we have on Star wars
18:12
toilets. So first, in Star
18:15
Wars Legends, which I haven't consumed
18:18
this media, but from what I can tell, it's a book
18:21
series. And feel free to email me, or
18:24
like, I don't know, write us on social
18:27
at me, on. At the show, on Twitter. Come at
18:29
me. Um, but I'm pretty sure this is a book
18:32
series. Uh, but in
18:35
this legends book or whatever media series, we
18:38
see a top down view. I think it's a graphic novel of
18:41
a bathroom in han Solo's cell,
18:44
that, if I'm gonna be honest with you, it looks an awful
18:47
lot like a regular human toilet. Now,
18:50
if you're like me and this was the start of this,
18:53
you would look at this and go, now, with all them
18:56
space aliens and spacemen, couldn't we
18:59
get something a little more
19:03
Han? But here's the deal. Han Solo is
19:06
a human, I think. I'm pretty sure he's
19:09
human. If it looks like a human and
19:12
it talks like a human, it probably
19:15
ain't an alien. I think maybe.
19:18
I don't know. But he would
19:21
have needed those accommodations. So
19:23
it makes sense that Han Solo is dealing with a
19:26
very human looking toilet in this.
19:29
However, there are other bathrooms
19:32
that we see throughout the series. Again,
19:34
45 years, and the data is pretty rife.
19:37
And by rife, I mean the opposite of rife.
19:40
In another legend's book, we are told that these
19:43
bathrooms, which do
19:46
separate on a number of grounds. More on that in a
19:49
moment. Have, um, some plumbing fixtures
19:52
that are specific to specific species.
19:55
The idea of how there are a number of differentiating
19:58
factors to divide who uses what
20:01
stall is best seen in the Clone Wars TV
20:04
show, where, in the background of a
20:06
shot, there is this bathroom and
20:09
this sign for a bathroom. You don't ever see the
20:12
bathroom. We'll get to that. But on
20:15
the bathroom sign, it has the regular symbols for,
20:18
like, human man and what appears to be human
20:20
woman. But then there's other, what I like to
20:23
call wild and crazy symbols that look like things
20:26
with tentacles and other sort of space
20:29
alien situations.
20:32
In short, what we find out
20:35
through this data is that
20:38
alien species in Star wars,
20:40
some have a different way of getting rid of
20:43
fluids and, dare I say,
20:45
dumpies. And I like to think of the
20:48
alien from, like, I think it's scary movie three, where
20:51
he, like, pees out his finger. Yeah,
20:54
what a whack idea that movie was. But I
20:57
digress.
20:59
We learn from another of sources and places in
21:02
the Star wars world that they don't use
21:05
the word bathroom or restroom or privy. They're, like,
21:08
halfway afraid to say the word.
21:11
Rather. In the Star wars universe,
21:14
bathrooms are referred to as
21:16
refreshers. Huh? Now,
21:19
why the Star wars world won't use
21:22
the word bathroom is a thing
21:25
of speculation. But in short, though, I
21:28
believe the reason is it's just to
21:31
add some air of futuristic
21:33
Sci-Fi eness. Like, if
21:36
you roll up into the Sci-Fi novel and
21:39
they're just calling it the toilet,
21:42
that's not Sci-Fi, that's not future. But if you call
21:45
them, ooh, the refresher, um,
21:48
you got something else going on there, and you're like,
21:51
oh, now you have my attention.
21:53
Uh, you don't use the word
21:56
bathroom or restroom. You use the refresher.
21:59
And what's even better is a refresher
22:02
is one of those fruity, like, fake
22:05
energy drink things at Starbucks. And so
22:08
it gives a whole new meaning to
22:11
slurping, uh, on a refresher. Am I right or am I
22:14
right? One
22:17
futuristic accoutrement of the
22:20
Star wars world found inside
22:23
the refreshers was the mention
22:25
of what is called a sonic
22:28
shower. Now,
22:32
um, this. A sonic shower is
22:35
a shower, but it is
22:38
a shower that is waterless and
22:41
seems to use either water
22:44
or sonic waves, sonic
22:46
vibrations, to get you clean, kill
22:48
bacteria. And I think it's the same explanation
22:51
as, like, doctor who's sonic screwdriver. It's
22:54
like, oh, it uses sonic technology to
22:57
unlock the nonsense.
23:00
It's Sci-Fi fantasy.
23:02
It doesn't have to make sense. But they have these
23:05
waterless showers that
23:08
sonic vibrate the air and kill
23:11
the bacteria and get you clean. I don't know. But I
23:14
wonder if when they were developing this in the Star wars world,
23:16
did they have, like, a brown note, uh, experience where
23:19
they just shazzed royal
23:22
from the sheer sonic vibrations
23:25
that they stood inside of? I'd
23:28
like that graphic novel. I don't know who the
23:31
current Star wars characters are. I think there's,
23:34
like, a ray and a Poe and a Finn, and those
23:37
are boring names. But, yeah, I'd
23:40
like a graphic novel of one of them hitting
23:42
up the sonic shower and getting the
23:45
frequency wrong, and they perform a waffle
23:48
stomp because they goofed on
23:51
that adjustment. I would read that.
23:54
But here's the other wild thing. If you had to
23:57
guess, if I sat you down,
23:59
listener friend, if you will. And you
24:02
had to guess how far in
24:05
Star Wars's fit. No, in Star
24:08
Wars's 45 year long
24:11
run, how far into those
24:14
45 years did it take for Star
24:16
wars to show us a picture
24:19
of the inside of one of these
24:22
refreshers? How long would you have guessed?
24:26
Go ahead. We'll pull a little Dora the explorer moment of fun
24:28
here. Go ahead.
24:34
That's right. It took
24:36
40 years, 40 years
24:41
to even get a real look at a Star wars
24:44
bathroom. There had
24:46
been, like, eleven or twelve
24:49
movies, countless TV
24:52
shows released, and not
24:55
once did anybody say, hey, you
24:58
know what? Be interesting. Let's see where
25:00
Jabba de hut takes his big, big
25:03
jabbas. Like, show me that.
25:06
No, it was not until the, uh, year
25:09
2020 of our Lord
25:12
that they finally showed a refresher in
25:15
Star wars. Now, Mr. Lucas,
25:17
please
25:21
tell us why it took so long.
25:24
I mean, we know about so much in the Star
25:27
wars world, and there's all this fandom,
25:31
and it took, like, 40 years. 40
25:34
years to show
25:37
just the inside of a toilet.
25:40
And we get our first look at
25:43
this in an
25:45
episode of the Mandalorian where I believe it's
25:48
on his ship. Uh, we get a view
25:51
of the inside of a refresher. And
25:54
what's super wild is there's some
25:56
tubes and some suction valves
25:59
that are interesting, at least.
26:02
Um, we are told that there is a
26:05
suction tube, and it is presumably to remove
26:08
fluids. Uh, and in this picture,
26:11
first, it's very grayscale and in the background,
26:14
um, and it's kind of just overwashed with brown, which
26:17
I think is another way to describe
26:21
kind of Star Wars's whole artistic vibe.
26:23
Recently overwashed with brown.
26:26
Um, but in all that time,
26:31
it almost looks like a roadside
26:34
rest stop toilet, but in a spaceship
26:37
with a couple of levers and funnels
26:40
around it. Man.
26:43
I'm, um, 95% sure we talked about
26:46
how astronauts go poo poo in space.
26:49
I'm pretty sure that they got some cooler looking
26:51
technology than what we had in Star wars in this.
26:54
But whatever. They made a shower that
26:57
showers you with sound waves.
27:03
Could we not have done something more than just, like, a
27:06
vacuum sucked tube for our leavings?
27:09
And I will admit, it's later reported that these
27:12
refreshers, like our space toilets in real life,
27:15
can convert some of the leavings into other usable
27:17
compounds. We're. It's. At the
27:20
time of this recording, it's April. We just had a bunch of Arbor
27:23
Day and Earth Day things. Reuse. Uh,
27:26
Star wars, old mandalorian Boba Fet, django
27:29
Fett, tango Fett, wrangle Fett are up there.
27:33
They're reduced reuse and recycling in the
27:36
best way possible. Get that suction tube up on that mess,
27:38
boys. Uh, here at
27:41
privy, we wish they would have covered this more,
27:44
even if it's just, like, a short film or, like I said,
27:47
maybe like, one of those graphic novels
27:50
detailing, like, Star Wars's first waffle
27:53
stomp on record. Star wars
27:56
is so futuristic, but there's something about it that is
27:58
so old feeling.
28:02
You know what? I
28:05
wish there was something more. But that futuristic feeling,
28:08
you know what's not futuristic feeling?
28:12
Falling headlong into
28:14
a portable toilet to get your cell phone. Um,
28:18
and that brings us
28:20
to a very special installment of
28:24
who in the news?
28:30
It, this, um, article is a,
28:33
is a local news article here, uh,
28:36
in Oregon. It comes to us from
28:39
Fox Twelve Oregon, uh,
28:42
by writer Deborah Dolan. Uh, and the article is
28:45
titled woman falls
28:47
headfirst into vault toilet trying to retrieve
28:50
cell phone. Rescuers say. And so
28:53
this takes place in Brennan, Washington,
28:56
actually. So it's a little up north of here. Um,
28:59
firefighters say that after,
29:02
I guess, rescuing her, that this
29:04
woman had dove headlong
29:07
into a vault toilet. Like
29:10
an outhouse style vault toilet.
29:13
And the firefighters are actually shocked because they're
29:16
like, listen, she could
29:18
have been seriously injured by the toxic
29:21
gases. And a woman in her
29:24
40s dropped her cell phone into the, into the vault
29:27
while using the toilet on the top,
29:30
uh, of Mount Walker.
29:33
She took apart the seat and
29:36
used her dog's leash to try to fish the
29:39
phone out. But after she
29:42
couldn't dig it out with the leash, she
29:45
decided to tie the leash off and use the leash
29:48
to, quote, support herself. Um, when
29:51
that failed, she fell in headfirst.
29:54
Now, headfirst into what, you may
29:57
ask? Well, I think you all know. Have you
29:59
ever been to the state fair? You know how at
30:02
the state fair, uh, when you're like,
30:06
you've had like an 18 inch hot dog,
30:09
uh, cut dog. And
30:12
everybody at the state fair has just eaten what we like to
30:15
call greasy, the greasy mess.
30:18
And there's those porta potties as you leave.
30:21
As you leave the state fair. And
30:24
inside those porta potties is what I like to call
30:27
the great american brown sludge. Well, when
30:29
this lady fell headfirst, that's what
30:32
she fell headfirst into. She tried
30:35
to climb out, uh, for about 15 to 20
30:38
minutes. But now that she's in there,
30:41
she has her phone. And at that point, she used
30:44
her phone to call 911 for help.
30:47
Crews with the Brennan fire department, uh,
30:50
I don't know this one. But Kilson's fire rescue,
30:53
um, they made this platform for the woman
30:55
to stand on and pulled her up to safety. And
30:59
thankfully she wasn't hurt. They
31:04
got her out, they hosed her down and they
31:06
gave her a hazmat suit to wear before she
31:09
was checked. And
31:12
it's a reminder. And, um,
31:15
once something goes into a Porta potty
31:18
like reservoir.
31:22
Uh, my question to you all, and feel free to shout at me
31:25
in an email, privycast@gmail.com.
31:28
Or shout at us on social at, uh, privycast. But
31:31
let us know if you dropped your cell phone into the
31:34
great american brown sludge, would you
31:37
go in after it? And
31:39
to what extent would you go in after it? Because
31:44
in this episode of Poo in the news, this lady
31:46
went fully deep and went for it and did
31:49
fall in and land, quote,
31:52
headfirst into the great american brown
31:54
sludge. This has been a short
31:57
but very sweet installment
32:00
of poo in the news.
32:06
Thank you, Mr. Domini, Mr. Dave Domini
32:09
for submitting this week's poo in the news. If you
32:12
find bathroom or poo related media and
32:15
articles, things happening in pop culture, send
32:17
them on in. We'd love to have them in a
32:20
special installment of poo in the news. Um,
32:24
and let us know if you're going after it. As we round
32:27
out the, um, end of the show here, I want to just do a
32:30
couple of shout outs. One is, um, a little bit different than the
32:33
normal things at the end of the show. Uh, I had the astute
32:35
pleasure of being on my good buddy
32:38
Jesse's podcast, pickled parables again.
32:41
Um, and so that episode is already out. You can go back and
32:44
listen to it. Um, I had the pleasure of
32:47
doing a lesson and teaching about the temple.
32:49
And so if you are interested in
32:53
kind of a bible based thing, go check that out. Jesse's
32:55
doing good work over pickled parables. Uh, we
32:58
might even stick a link in the doodly
33:01
bopper down below there. But yeah, follow us on
33:04
social media. We're at privycast. We're trying to get
33:07
toilet Tuesdays, bathroom dumpy videos,
33:10
uh, all sorts of nonsense going on over there.
33:13
So come follow us. Share your toilet, um,
33:16
Tuesday and bathroom nonsense. Um,
33:18
let's get that popping off. You can send us an email
33:21
episode suggestion, ideas, thoughts,
33:24
feedback, anything you'd like.
33:26
Privycast@gmail.com we'd love to hear
33:29
