Latest / Privycast / Ep. 14 Phones on the Throne
Transcript
- 0:00If you feel like you're gonna be like, birthing a fat one, don't be like grunt pushing while you're on the phone.
- 0:07That's weird.
- 0:07ah Nobody wants that.
- 0:09That's some weird noise.
- 0:25Welcome back to privy potty friends.
- 0:27Privy is a podcast about toilets recorded on a toilet.
- 0:31I'm your bathroom enthusiast and host from the hot seat, Hunter Hoover.
- 0:36ah This week, it's kind of exciting.
- 0:38I was able to get the COVID vaccine today.
- 0:45So we're fresh off that.
- 0:46And ah yeah, it's exciting because hopefully that will allow ah more things to begin to open up and
- 0:54that sort of stuff.
- 0:56that's yeah, that's exciting.
- 0:59We've been driven indoors this week because it has been rainy and so we're looking forward to some sunshine.
- 1:06I'm hoping for that.
- 1:07That would be that would be just wonderful.
- 1:10But yeah, so I've had a number of conversations with people this week about some interesting bathroom stories and things pertaining to bathrooms and I will gladly share
- 1:22those with y'all.
- 1:24as time goes on and I of course get permission from them.
- 1:31But this week on Privy, we're returning to the etiquette corner and we are going to talk about a situation and a aspect of life that many of us nowadays are probably pretty
- 1:43familiar with.
- 1:44And that is this idea that we're gonna see is rooted in both psychology and history.
- 1:53but it's only with the modern day changes that have happened that it has really flourished and become uh what it is today.
- 2:03So I wanna set the scene for you.
- 2:06Most of us are not strangers to this scene, but you stand up and you go into the bathroom and you place ham on porcelain pot and you begin to do your thing and then almost as if
- 2:19instinct, stink,
- 2:22instinct, ah almost as if that has kicked in.
- 2:27Your phone is in your hand.
- 2:29You have reached for your phone.
- 2:31And what you do on your phone while you're sitting on the throne is your business.
- 2:36But the bathroom has become a space where we take time and can find ourselves checking our phone.
- 2:48And often we end up spending more time
- 2:52in the bathroom on our phone, then we one, realize and two, probably bargain for to where if you set a stopwatch, first of all, the fact if you set a stopwatch would probably cause
- 3:05you to be a lot faster with what you're doing in there.
- 3:09But if you set a stopwatch, it would probably reveal that you are spending a considerable amount of time pooping aided and increased because you have your phone in your hand.
- 3:20But
- 3:22There have been times and I have to go to the bathroom and I will walk away from the direction of the bathroom to retrieve my phone where it is usually charging and will then
- 3:34turn and go to the bathroom to do and engage in my biological duty.
- 3:40And I don't need to be in there that long.
- 3:45I shouldn't have to have my phone.
- 3:48If I'm not going to be in there that long, why do I need to take electronics with me to do stuff here in this restroom?
- 3:55But before we look at whether or not we should be taking cell phones or other things into the bathroom, mostly cell phones we're talking about today, we're going to acknowledge and
- 4:05look at the history and a little bit of the psychology of why folks are taking their phones to the bathroom.
- 4:12And so before humans had cell phones, they would do other things in the bathroom.
- 4:20some of which are bodily functions.
- 4:23But the most famous of this is reading.
- 4:26People would read in the bathroom and whether it's the newspaper, a magazine, Uncle Tom's bathroom reader, bathroom reading is not only a trope, but it's a reality.
- 4:35And in the beginning, in the beginning, no, in the beginning, people read on the potty for a practical purpose because as you read,
- 4:45Prior to indoor plumbing and as a result our lovely white sheeted friend, the toilet paper, you could read a piece of the newspaper and then as you finished it, you could tear
- 4:58a portion of the paper off and use it to wipe.
- 5:03And toilet paper is one, softer and two, uh more figure forming than most other types of paper.
- 5:10But newspaper isn't bad.
- 5:12And so if you're reading a newspaper,
- 5:14while taking a poop and you now have to wipe the situation, uh I don't think a newspaper would be a bad option.
- 5:23So as you're reading the newspaper, you always go to the funnies first, you hit up the funnies, you read some Dilbert, you read some Garfield, you read some Peanuts, and then
- 5:31sometimes you hit some Baby Blues and Pickles, but whatever, and then you rip that noise out and you reach back and you now have associated that with the least conducive part of
- 5:43bathrooming, which is
- 5:44the removal of waste from yourself.
- 5:48And I don't think that that experience would be terrible.
- 5:51Toilet paper is not, sorry, not toilet paper.
- 5:55Newspaper is not that coarse, it's pretty soft.
- 5:59It's not as soft as toilet paper unless you got somebody stocking some whack toilet paper that should not be used and that's a heinous crime.
- 6:07But yeah, I don't think newspaper would be a bad option.
- 6:10But began to look at their time.
- 6:13in the bathroom as quote extra time in which people of sophistication and learning were expected to not waste time defecating.
- 6:23And so to do so you would take reading material to better your mind to consume that material while you are ridding yourself of human waste.
- 6:36Thus not losing a second of the day bettering yourself whatever.
- 6:42uh
- 6:43That to me sounds like one of those weird biohack things where these dudes are like, I'm gonna drink a shake so that way I don't have to eat and take time to eat.
- 6:53And if I just drink this liquid, I won't have to eat.
- 6:56To them I say, I'm glad you're saving time.
- 6:58I hope your shake tastes as good as my pizza, but whatever.
- 7:01um And over time, as more and more folks read and spent time in the bathroom to read the genre,
- 7:12Bathroom reading books and materials that are specifically bathroom reading emerge and essentially the genre refers to any material that is short episodic and lends itself to
- 7:26being able to complete the reading in the amount of time it takes you to finish your deuce.
- 7:31So you sit down to poop you pull out the reading material you begin to poop you read the reading material you then fold the reading material back up and put it nearby in the
- 7:41bathroom.
- 7:43and you finish your job.
- 7:46First, I never have time to read on the pot.
- 7:50I don't know what my deal is, ah but I'm usually landing the plane as the people are trying to get off, if you know what I'm saying.
- 8:00this is not Hunter's personal experience.
- 8:02Like I am guilty of taking my phone out in the bathroom, but I do not have time to do a lot on it before I've got to get scooting.
- 8:07So the genre of bathroom reader took off
- 8:12And it seems that whoever Uncle John is saw that the boat was ready and loaded.
- 8:20because to date Uncle John's bathroom readers have sold 15 million copies, 15 million copies of these books that people buy and read while they're pooping.
- 8:31It's crazy.
- 8:31I mean, you don't have to read it while you're pooping, but like it's literally in the name.
- 8:35So yeah, you can.
- 8:37um But before these bathroom readers,
- 8:41And after newspapers came the introduction of pulp magazines.
- 8:45So pulp magazines were associated with reading in the bathroom or the poop room because they contained racy action packed short stories.
- 8:55That's hard to say.
- 8:56However, they get their name from the cheap uh material that they were printed on.
- 9:03So they were printed on pretty cheap paper and as a result it had a higher pulp content, which is the like
- 9:10paper or like, I think it's tree pulp that is used to make paper.
- 9:14had a higher count because it was less refined and so they were cheaper to produce, thus pulp stories uh or pulp magazines.
- 9:22Sorry.
- 9:23uh And they are these pulp magazines are a result of their predecessor, the Penny Dreadfuls and Dime novels, which were also printed on uh much less quality of material.
- 9:36uh Pulp magazines, which often contain fiction,
- 9:40is what lends to the title of the 1994 classic Pulp Fiction, a movie in which John Travolta's character is on the toilet at least three times in the films.
- 9:50And he's there so much that people have wondered why.
- 9:56Why does this movie have this dude on the throne so much?
- 10:00And first, I'll note, he probably has to poop a lot because he uses drugs.
- 10:09intestinal problems can result from drug use.
- 10:12So that's one of it.
- 10:13But also narratively Travolta goes to and uses the bathroom before something bad happens.
- 10:22So in the film, when we're watching John Travolta's character, he often is getting up and leaving to use the restroom just before something bad or awful happens, sometimes and
- 10:33often to or around his character.
- 10:37And
- 10:38He is seen reading a pulp magazine while dropping a deuce, moments before he is shot to death coming out of the bathroom.
- 10:46And this scene is a masterpiece and then then zooms in on his pulp fiction and he dead in the bathtub.
- 10:54And so if you haven't seen pulp fiction, ah it's got some profanity and that's saying it lightly, but it is worth the watch.
- 11:03If anything, just to see John Travolta.
- 11:07diet in the bathroom.
- 11:08em not only is there a precedent set for people reading on the toilet, but the habit had entered media.
- 11:17So this wasn't just something that people were doing, but it wasn't in pop culture.
- 11:23Like now, you know, the trope had entered the movies.
- 11:27John Travolta is reading on the bathroom in Pulp Fiction.
- 11:30So it's a part of the culture as well.
- 11:33But books are different than phones.
- 11:36But they are different in a way that makes them less readily accessible because people carry their phone in their pocket.
- 11:46So it's at hand and easy to get out and get on.
- 11:50And whether you're playing Angry Birds or actually reading a book digitally, people have long sought out something to do on the throne.
- 11:57That is established.
- 11:58People have been reading on the bathroom for a considerable amount of time since there have been bathrooms.
- 12:05And because
- 12:06phones are so convenient and we can take them in and out and take them with us beyond the confines of the bathroom, people have gravitated toward the smartphone in that
- 12:19convenience.
- 12:20So now that we've looked at just a brief history of like people doing stuff on the bathroom that is not bathroom-ing, specifically reading, we can see how that lends to the
- 12:31natural flow of like, well, if I can just have my phone.
- 12:34I'm not going to read.
- 12:35I'm going to be thinking around on my phone.
- 12:38But we need to briefly look at the psychology of why our phones end up in our hands.
- 12:43So for a long time, psychology thought we read to compensate for the fact that we were doing something unspeakable.
- 12:53And I don't know how well I don't know how bad their bowel movements were like 100 plus years ago where they thought that like what you did in the bathroom was unspeakable.
- 13:02But man, they must have been wild because like
- 13:04And maybe I'm just a weirdo.
- 13:07But I have, like I mentioned in beginning, I have countless conversations a week about the things that go on in the bathroom, both with myself and other people.
- 13:15And so the idea that those things are unspeakable is just lost to me.
- 13:19So either theirs were heinous or they were more cultured, but it's probably the more cultured one.
- 13:23Anyway, but for a long time, they thought that because you were doing something unspeakable, they would read and do something that was considered highbrow and cultured.
- 13:34to compensate for the unspeakable thing that they were doing.
- 13:37And so later it was believed to...
- 13:40uh So you put the good in when you send the bad out.
- 13:43This is hocus pocus hogwash, whatever.
- 13:46Later on, it was believed to be a symptom of childhood trauma.
- 13:51And I will tell you, I am not a psychologist.
- 13:54No, I'm not.
- 13:56So I think this has more, but if I would venture a guess...
- 14:01I would guess that this has more to do about the amount of control a person has while in the bathroom.
- 14:07But what do I know?
- 14:08Like if you don't have a control about a lot of the things in your environment, but you can control your time in the bathroom, maybe you take that time to read and do the things
- 14:17that you wish you could do outside the bathroom.
- 14:18I don't know.
- 14:20More pertinent to the psychology of phones on the throne is the human capacity for being very bad at being bored.
- 14:29We want something
- 14:31to occupy ourselves in books and newspapers and magazines and now our phones fit the bill perfectly.
- 14:40Because, God forbid we go a few minutes without doing something.
- 14:43You know what saying?
- 14:44Like, how dare us not be engaged and occupied mentally with something all the time.
- 14:53and that, you know, you can see that trends back to this idea that like, we don't wanna waste time, we don't wanna lose time.
- 15:00When am I going to play Candy Crush?
- 15:07I don't know if people still play Candy Crush, but when am I going to play that if not while I can't do anything else?
- 15:13So phones being readily more accessible from the bathroom and more addictive, I would argue, than books find their way into our hand when our cheeks find their way to the
- 15:23plopper.
- 15:24And so in the context for where it came from and context for why it came,
- 15:29from there, a study by Verizon Wireless done in 2015, which not that long ago, showed that at least 90%, 90%, nine zero percent sign of cell phone owners admitted to using their
- 15:48phone while on the pooper.
- 15:5390%, that's a passing grade.
- 15:57But this is not something that we should have a passing grade on.
- 16:00And I know that there are some who are not going to admit that noise.
- 16:04That's the crazy thing.
- 16:06Like if you walk down on the street with a clipboard and said, Hey bud, uh, Hey friendo, do you use your phone while you're defecating in your toilet?
- 16:16I would guarantee you 90 % of people are not going to say yes to that.
- 16:20So the fact that they got 90 % as a finding.
- 16:26I guarantee you that number is higher.
- 16:28I guarantee you that that number is higher.
- 16:31But anyway, so people are doing it, obviously.
- 16:37People are on their phones while they're on the bathroom.
- 16:40That much is clear.
- 16:42It's been done in history with books and other things.
- 16:45It has psychology of like, we're addicted to our phones, so why not use it when our brain isn't focused on something else?
- 16:52The stats are in.
- 16:54It's happening.
- 16:55But now the question is, should we be on our phones when we're on our thrones?
- 17:01And there are some guiding principles of phone use etiquette for when we find ourselves with the urge to purge.
- 17:10So as far as etiquette goes, phones while you're in the bathroom, first things first, it's pretty well assumed that you should not be on your phone while shooting brown.
- 17:21Mostly,
- 17:22This can be rude to the person you're on the phone with.
- 17:25People don't want to hear that.
- 17:26It's rude to others in the bathroom.
- 17:28If you're in a public multi-stalled bathroom, other people are not going to want to hear your conversation while they're trying to get rid of their brown.
- 17:37So they want to do their business in peace and that's perfectly acceptable.
- 17:43But here's what I'll say.
- 17:45I have been on the phone while...
- 17:47Sorry, yes.
- 17:48I have been...
- 17:49on the phone talking to somebody while I am using the bathroom.
- 17:53And if you're going to do it, as with most things, get consent from whoever you're on the phone with.
- 17:58Just say, hey, I gotta go to bathroom.
- 17:59it like I can hang up and call you back or we can just keep this rolling?
- 18:03And, you know, I don't think you'll hear anything.
- 18:05It'll be fine.
- 18:07But wait until it's a quiet moment of the experience.
- 18:11Like, don't flush while you are on the phone, just like.
- 18:18I mean, man, if you're still talking after that, I guess flush and just say, hey, sorry, but like, yeah.
- 18:24And if you, if you feel like you're going to be like birth in a fat one, don't, don't be like grunt pushing while you're on the phone.
- 18:31That's weird.
- 18:32Uh, nobody wants that.
- 18:34That's, that's some weird noise.
- 18:35But the other etiquette piece here is the fact that using your phone while pooping or being in the toilet or being in that space makes you stay seated longer.
- 18:45And there's been, there's been findings that like,
- 18:48people have actually developed hemorrhoids because they spend too much time on the phone sitting while they're supposed to be pooping and they forget they're there and then the
- 18:58position, I don't know, it's weird, but it can cause some trouble downstairs.
- 19:02So just be mindful of the amount of time that you're spending doing that.
- 19:07And if you're gonna be on the phone while you're in the bathroom, be mindful if somebody else is waiting to get into the bathroom, especially if you're in public bathrooms.
- 19:18Because you don't want to be the guy that's just chilling trying to get the whatever figured out on his phone while homie's doing the potty dance outside.
- 19:27That's not great.
- 19:29Seems shady, but there are two other etiquette pieces that are less etiquette and more just public service announcements.
- 19:36So, the first, if you use your phone in the premises of a toilet, you're running the risk of having that noise slip and take a swim.
- 19:44So if you've got your phone out,
- 19:46And you are, especially if you are standing while peeing, but you can still manage this when you're sitting doing whatever you need to do.
- 19:54You could drop your phone in a place that you do not want your phone, whether that's in the toilet or drop and slide under to the other, like divider.
- 20:03You don't want that.
- 20:04You don't want that because if somebody is over there doing their business and your phone slides through now, do you want them to pick it up?
- 20:13Do you want them to kick it back to you?
- 20:14Like you have a problem on your hands.
- 20:16It's just safer to like make sure you got a good grip.
- 20:20And I understand there's like pop sockets.
- 20:21I don't use a pop socket, but if that helps you hold on, I guess whatever, but you can still drop it.
- 20:26Those things are not foolproof.
- 20:27I guess you could get like one of those Wii remote wrist strap things for your phone, but then you're just going to look like a nerd.
- 20:33And I think if you're going to be dragging that around, it's going to be getting pretty gross if you're going into the bathroom with your phone anyway.
- 20:37So don't do it.
- 20:41You have to be careful.
- 20:43because you don't think it can happen.
- 20:45Nobody says, I'm not gonna drop my phone.
- 20:48Everybody thinks that they're gonna be able hold onto their phone pretty well until they don't.
- 20:53And then it's too late.
- 20:56But if you are likely going to get some fun, this is the other public service announcement, number two, you are likely going to get some fun, new bacterial friends on
- 21:07your phone.
- 21:08And the idea that we bring bacteria out of the bathroom,
- 21:13on our reading material has always been a concern.
- 21:16However, what they have found is that paper products, such as books, hold bacteria much less than say, I don't know, a shiny metal or glass surface, such as a foam.
- 21:28So the biggest problem is a lot of times our bathroom reading material stays in there.
- 21:33If you have a magazine or a book or whatever it is that you want to read in the bathroom, a lot of times you are not dragging that piece of printed material
- 21:42out of the bathroom with you when you leave.
- 21:44Usually you're leaving it there, sitting next to the toilet, ready and eagerly awaiting for your next visit to go.
- 21:53Not so with phones.
- 21:54Like, we tote that back, whatever bacteria hops board onto our phone, we tote that bacteria out of the bathroom, riding on the sweet vessel, the SSI phone, ready to do know
- 22:08what's.
- 22:09even after washing your hands,
- 22:10You touch your phone, you were used while pooping, and now your hands are dirty again.
- 22:13So, use your phone, you're pooping, you use your phone, you do your thing, you put it in your pocket, you wash your hands, you put your phone in your pocket.
- 22:21You're back to square one.
- 22:24but again, 90 % of people use their phone while they're using the bathroom.
- 22:33I am currently in the bathroom with my phone and computer, which don't get me started, I get it, but.
- 22:41despite it being considered possibly rude and despite it being possibly hygienic, 90 % of people are doing this.
- 22:51So, if those barriers don't seem to be able to produce a change, how do we go on?
- 23:01People are gonna use their phones in the bathroom.
- 23:02So, how do we proceed knowing they will do so?
- 23:06First, use your phone.
- 23:09before you begin the wipe job.
- 23:12So do your business, blast your business, and once you've wiped, do not then grab for your phone again.
- 23:21You're setting yourself up for bacterial failure.
- 23:24This will also keep the scrolling to a minimum.
- 23:27So you do your business while you're pooping.
- 23:29While it is being ejected from you, you can be on your phone.
- 23:33Then when it is time to begin the cleaning process, your phone should go away.
- 23:37It should.
- 23:38End.
- 23:39Also, even if you follow this, get a Clorox wipe at some point and wipe your phone down after coming out of the bathroom.
- 23:46Because unless you talk on the phone on speaker all the time or have headphones that are make you not have to have it.
- 23:52If you call somebody, you're going to put your phone up to your head.
- 23:57Inches away from your mouth and nose holes.
- 24:02No.
- 24:03So we want to be courteous.
- 24:05We want to be hygienic, but we also want to take potty shots and play Pokemon Go on the can.
- 24:10So we have to adjust for safety.
- 24:13There's one last, there's one last etiquette piece that should need to be said, but we will.
- 24:20You do not need to share an image or something from your phone to someone else, bathrooming near you while you are bathrooming.
- 24:29You don't need to do that.
- 24:31Share it later.
- 24:32It can wait.
- 24:33Send it as a text.
- 24:34Do whatever.
- 24:36And if it's somebody that you don't have their number and you can't text it to them, I would argue you didn't need to be sharing that with them in the bathroom anyway.
- 24:43So stop it.
- 24:44No more.
- 24:45Share later.
- 24:46Not while you were doing that.
- 24:49It's whack.
- 24:50Just cut that out.
- 24:54No one wants you to shove your phone into their face while you're doing your thing.
- 25:00In the words of the very wise Dr.
- 25:04Anderson, stop it!
- 25:05Stop it!
- 25:07Because what do you do if you drop your phone into the other person's journal?
- 25:13You can't come back from that.
- 25:16That's not your pee.
- 25:18That doesn't belong to you.
- 25:20And I would argue that you don't want your phone to belong to you now either.
- 25:23You can't come back from that, so just don't do it.
- 25:26Cut it out.
- 25:27Get some help.
- 25:28That's just general guidelines for phones in the bathroom.
- 25:35And today I wanna share with you another Hunter's Anecdotes to Keep You afloats, brought to you by Phone Use in the Bathroom.
- 25:52you
- 26:02This week is a story, as I said, about cell phones and bathrooms.
- 26:07Who'd guessed?
- 26:09So, we were, when I was in college, we, in the dorm I was in, we had a communal bathroom.
- 26:16Communal bathrooms are cool.
- 26:19Some people don't like them, whatever.
- 26:20Communal bathrooms are cool.
- 26:22And in the communal bathroom, we have this like stereo where you could plug your phone in if you wanted and listen to music while you were...
- 26:32Usually showering, but oftentimes you were doing it like, yeah, when you were showering.
- 26:38Rarely people plugged it in when they were pooping, but it would have been a good solution.
- 26:42Yeah.
- 26:43So you plug your phone in while you're showering and you listen to music.
- 26:45Just an FYI, I'm not too terribly big of a fan of like country Western music.
- 26:54It's some people's thing and that's okay.
- 26:55It's not mine.
- 26:57But we have this kind gentleman that lived in the dorms with us.
- 27:01For the sake of the story, we're going to call this person...
- 27:06Jeremy.
- 27:07Yeah, that seems safe.
- 27:09So Jeremy is using the shower and he plops his phone into the little dock and it starts to play.
- 27:15And my roommate and I, to give you a lowdown, and this, you're going to find that the coming description of where our dorm room was laid out in relation to the bathroom plays a
- 27:27big role in many of the bathroom stories that I gathered from this year of living there.
- 27:31But our dorm room was directly
- 27:36across the hall from the bathroom.
- 27:38And when you hear that you think, well, I mean, probably not.
- 27:42No, like if I popped our dorm room open and the bathroom door open, which happened frequently, I could look directly back into the showers.
- 27:53Like I could see the back shower where people were showering.
- 27:57Yes.
- 27:58Also, don't, yeah, we'll revisit that because there's another Hunter's Anecdotes that
- 28:04that comes into an awful, awful play for my roommate.
- 28:09So my roommate and I are in our room and we're doing our homework and we're doing our thing.
- 28:14And Jeremy goes into the bathroom, he plops his phone down into the thing and he turns this country western music up louder than any country western music has ever been played
- 28:25indoors ever before.
- 28:27It is so loud.
- 28:28And so we go in there and we're like, hey Jeremy, like.
- 28:32Can you turn this down a little bit?
- 28:33Like we're directly across the hall and cannot move our room.
- 28:37Yes, we could have gone somewhere else to study, but we're already set up.
- 28:40Can you turn it down a little bit while you're showering?
- 28:42And he's like, no, it's like he doesn't turn it down to my recollection.
- 28:46He did not turn it down.
- 28:47um That is probably my memory justifying what we did next.
- 28:51So because he did not turn down, we went back to the dorm room and I was like, okay, watch this.
- 28:56So I call Jeremy on my phone and in doing so,
- 29:01it shuts his music off.
- 29:03And as it's ringing, his music completely fades out and you just hear the disgruntled like, oh, oh, oh, oh, and he's trying to like check and see who's calling him, doing that
- 29:14thing.
- 29:15right as, remember, we can see where the phone is plugged in from our dorm room.
- 29:20Right as he gets out of the shower and just gets close enough to where he's gonna be able to read it, we hang up so he can't see it's us.
- 29:27And he gets in, it's like, oh, missed call, runs back.
- 29:30doesn't check who called, just goes and gets back in the shower.
- 29:33We do this three times.
- 29:37Call, call, and it just, you know, just cycles to the point where he is just losing his mind because he is trying to have a nice shower with his very loud country western music
- 29:49and we are just calling him over and over in order to stop his music and keep him from playing his music loud and keeping us from getting our homework done.
- 29:58And so...
- 29:59After we gave this kid grief, he got out of the phone, he dried himself off, he got himself dressed, he sees that it was us, and he just comes into our room all disgruntled,
- 30:06all upset, because we have so rudely called him, he's like, why'd guys do that?
- 30:10And I said, man, you know, we asked you to turn it down, so we handled it the way we did.
- 30:16And that's Hunter's being a jerk.
- 30:19But that's Hunter's anecdotes for keeping you afloat.
- 30:22If he would have had a CD and not his phone, he could have avoided this, but he didn't.
- 30:25So, tough.
- 30:29As always, yeah, you know, yeah.
- 30:33Don't play music.
- 30:34If somebody asks you to turn your meters down, it's fine.
- 30:36Just be courteous.
- 30:37Whatever.
- 30:38Also, don't disrupt people showering.
- 30:40Hunter, in the past.
- 30:42Don't do that.
- 30:42That's Hunter's Anecdotes to keep you afloat.
