>> Speaker A: I don't know. I think I usually end up being around four, unless
0:03
it's a diarrhea type day. Oh, there you go.
0:06
I just grab so many and fold it twice
0:09
and go for it.
0:11
>> Speaker B: Let's keep it simple.
0:17
Welcome back to privy. Privy is a
0:20
podcast about bathrooms recorded
0:23
this week. We are off location in my recording
0:25
studio, away from recording studio. I'm at the
0:28
church bathroom. Uh, we're back, and
0:31
I am joined this week by none other than Luke
0:34
Powell. Luke, how are you?
0:36
>> Speaker A: Pretty good.
0:36
>> Speaker B: Good. Um, Luke, tell us a little bit about
0:39
who you are. Uh, I know a little bit, but I'll probably
0:42
learn something here, too. I'm.
0:46
>> Speaker A: Just a guy who farms and drives truck for
0:49
a living and tries to enjoy doing it.
0:51
>> Speaker B: That's right. Uh, when you say you drive
0:54
truck, I know one day you pulled in
0:57
with just the biggest blue rig I've seen in my
1:00
parking lot here at the church. So, what are you
1:03
driving around usually?
1:05
>> Speaker A: It varies. The last couple of winters, I've, uh,
1:08
hauled rock, but in the fall, during hazelnut
1:11
harvest, uh, I haul hazelnuts from the field back
1:14
to a drying and cleaning plant.
1:17
>> Speaker B: Do you ever just lose some on the road?
1:19
>> Speaker A: Yeah, there's some loads you have to tarp because it
1:22
will try to. And I do usually try to find a back
1:25
road because there's always, um, some
1:28
husks that don't have nuts and are really light, and they
1:30
will try and blow off no matter if you tarp it or not. So
1:33
I always try and find a good back road to go down
1:37
with no cars so I don't make a mess out of
1:39
somebody's car. Even with the tarp on, somebody just.
1:42
>> Speaker B: Gets Mario karted with all of your
1:45
hazelnuts.
1:46
>> Speaker A: Yeah. That'd be a good way to ruin a.
1:49
>> Speaker B: Or I guess they could try to
1:52
catch, uh,
1:55
you work. Is it like a family farm,
1:58
or.
1:59
>> Speaker A: Is it just like. It's kind of
2:02
a weird deal. So, the drying plant is
2:05
a shared deal. Uh, they're both
2:08
kind of family farms, but one of them
2:11
has gotten really big and is essentially an
2:14
industrial thing now. But it is still family
2:16
ran, and, uh, it doesn't
2:19
have chairman or anything like that. It's still a
2:22
family farm. It's just on a pretty big scale.
2:25
Yeah. Because they, uh, work with several other drying
2:28
plants around the valley and even up by
2:30
Portland.
2:31
>> Speaker B: Wow.
2:32
>> Speaker A: Um.
2:34
>> Speaker B: Do you know how many pounds they deal with a year?
2:37
>> Speaker A: I don't know off the top of my head, but I
2:40
think just the main plant I hauled to
2:43
did somewhere around 5 million plus
2:46
pounds last year. And that's just the one
2:49
plant. There's,
2:51
uh, four of them that I've hauled to, and I think
2:54
they've got one or two others.
2:56
So they move some hazelnuts.
2:58
>> Speaker B: That's crazy, man.
3:02
I can't even imagine 5 million pounds of
3:04
hazelnuts. Wow.
3:07
So have you always, like, how long have you been doing
3:10
that?
3:11
>> Speaker A: Uh, the hazelnuts, uh, this is going to be my
3:14
third year if I do it. The grass seed
3:17
side of things I've been doing since I was, well, a kid
3:20
because I grew up on a farm and the uncles do it and my dad
3:23
does it and my grandparents do it. So I've been
3:25
in that forever.
3:27
>> Speaker B: Wow. Yeah. Do you guys ever have
3:29
competitions, like, with the family about who can do
3:32
something the best or fastest?
3:35
>> Speaker A: Uh, not really. Some people brag a little bit
3:38
when they get a nice, clean crop or something with no
3:40
weeds, but, yeah, not too much.
3:42
>> Speaker B: No weeds.
3:43
>> Speaker A: Yeah, sometimes we used to a little bit when we were kids, when we were
3:46
bucking hay at the grandparents,
3:49
we'd race around a little bit when we first
3:51
started, we couldn't buck them onto the trailer, so we'd just roll them to
3:54
the side so the tractor could drive down the center, and there'd just be a
3:57
bunch of little kids running as fast as they could between the
4:00
rows. Yeah.
4:03
Uh, dude, that's such a cool
4:05
childhood, though.
4:09
>> Speaker B: Working at the high school, I see some of these kids and I'm like,
4:14
you're just a tablet kid. You've never
4:17
been outside to do anything.
4:21
I imagine that's hard work, but that's
4:24
a good childhood.
4:26
>> Speaker A: Oh, it definitely has its moments, that's for sure. My favorite
4:29
from back then was when we were. Every time we'd buckhead, grandpa had a little
4:32
mini, uh, fridge out in the shed that he always had
4:34
stocked with soda, particularly grape
4:37
soda. And that was our favorite, really, as a
4:40
kid. For quite a few of us, we just
4:43
go out there and rob his fridge every time.
4:45
>> Speaker B: Uh, it's like grape crush.
4:47
>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah, grape crush. And the aunt
4:50
would sometimes bring down like, tea or something like that and
4:53
jugs and pass it out to all of us.
4:57
>> Speaker B: That's the life.
5:00
People don't appreciate that.
5:03
>> Speaker A: It's, um, a nice way to grow up, that's for sure. Yeah.
5:07
>> Speaker B: I know. Just from like, when we've chatted a little bit, you
5:10
have an interest in cars. That's probably not the right
5:13
way to put it.
5:14
>> Speaker A: Um, just about anything with a motor.
5:17
>> Speaker B: Yeah, it's got a motor.
5:18
>> Speaker A: You're into it, uh, tear it apart, make sure it never
5:21
runs again, and then just spend way too much money on
5:24
it.
5:26
>> Speaker B: American dream.
5:26
>> Speaker A: I tell you what. That's right.
5:29
>> Speaker B: Uh, I know you're
5:32
currently working on a truck or a car track.
5:35
>> Speaker A: Yeah, kind of both. I've got an old
5:38
Plymouth that I work on a little bit, but the one I've really been
5:41
focusing on and putting most of my time into is
5:44
a, uh, 77 Chev. That was. Wow.
5:46
My dad bought new back in 78. I think it
5:49
was off, uh, the.
5:50
>> Speaker B: He, like, bought it.
5:51
>> Speaker A: Yeah, m he bought it himself. Uh,
5:55
I think it was his first actual vehicle because before that,
5:58
he was borrowing his dad's, and then him and his
6:01
brothers all did that kind of thing where, for the most part, they went and bought
6:04
a pickup that was new or only a couple of years old off
6:07
of the lot. Wow. Um, yeah,
6:10
I don't remember if he was 17 or 18, but he went and bought it
6:13
new off the lot.
6:14
>> Speaker B: I know you've talked about this car, but I
6:17
didn't realize that he
6:20
had bought it new.
6:21
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
6:22
>> Speaker B: That's crazy.
6:23
>> Speaker A: That's why I bought that one instead of spending a bunch of
6:25
money and getting something that was nice and, uh, wasn't all
6:28
rusted out because I could know every
6:31
part that's been put on it, when it was
6:34
done, why it was done, how it was done.
6:37
That's crazy. Knowing the history is nice.
6:39
>> Speaker B: Yeah. Are, uh,
6:42
you just kind of learning it as you go?
6:45
>> Speaker A: I liked it quite a bit as a kid, so I
6:48
studied a lot of the books I could find on it and
6:51
everything, and just tried to get some of the book
6:54
smarts, and it becomes a bit of a challenge
6:57
because trying to put it into practice yourself
6:59
without someone who's really good at it
7:02
there with you is a learning curve that gets
7:05
real expensive, but it's a fun way to
7:08
learn. Really expensive. Oh, yeah. When you do the same thing two,
7:11
three times to get it to where you want it, it can get
7:14
pretty expensive in materials and stuff, but
7:17
you've built it and you know how to do it in the future, and
7:20
that's, uh, nice knowledge to have. Ah, it even
7:23
helps me out with that hazelnut plant and stuff. When
7:26
stuff breaks there, I end up having to help fix it
7:29
or, uh, figure out what they need to fix it, sort of a thing,
7:31
quite often.
7:32
>> Speaker B: Wow.
7:34
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Helpful knowledge.
7:35
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
7:36
>> Speaker A: That's cool.
7:39
>> Speaker B: What often happens on the show is I say, hey, do you have any
7:42
bathroom stories to share? And people are like, oh, I don't know. And then
7:45
as we go, people go, oh, actually, I know I
7:48
have one. Uh, so if you get to something
7:51
later, just stop me. Feel free. Um,
7:54
but do you have any bathroom stories that you are willing
7:57
to share? Um, close
7:59
calls.
8:01
>> Speaker A: Most of mine are just where I was holding it
8:04
and running for dear life at some point,
8:07
especially since when we're doing those hazelnuts.
8:10
I work night shift quite a bit. And even if you aren't that tired,
8:13
you're downing the coffee.
8:15
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
8:15
>> Speaker A: And that can get miserable. Sometimes.
8:19
>> Speaker B: The coffee gets stuff moving.
8:20
>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I usually get, like, those
8:23
little cans of Starbucks coffee because they're real easy to
8:26
deal with in the truck or the bottles so I can put the cap
8:29
back on and not make a mess. And I, uh,
8:32
was coming from canby one time and got those things, uh,
8:35
bought some of those at the Brooks Lowe's truck stop.
8:38
And before I got out of the parking lot, I was
8:41
already drinking one.
8:42
>> Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
8:42
>> Speaker A: I hit north Salem, and you
8:45
know how it hurts and then it goes away and then it
8:48
starts hurting again.
8:49
>> Speaker B: But worse, it visits.
8:51
>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. And I dealt with that clear back.
8:54
Those that know Oregon, it was clear back to, um,
8:57
uh, just about Albany there,
8:59
anyhow. Yeah. Now
9:02
I'm glad I know that.
9:03
>> Speaker B: 20 minutes of that.
9:05
>> Speaker A: Yeah, it was more. And the truck's not a
9:07
lot. Very powerful, so those hills suck. It was 25,
9:10
30 minutes, and it was midnight
9:14
or one. So nothing's open in Salem.
9:16
>> Speaker B: My gosh.
9:16
>> Speaker A: Luckily, now I know that there's an outhouse at the pack
9:19
pride in southern Salem, and I can bail in there if I need to,
9:22
but I didn't know it at the time, so I went clear back to the
9:25
hazelnut plant secrets there. Yeah.
9:28
>> Speaker B: Outhouse at pack pride.
9:29
>> Speaker A: Uh, every time I drive the truck, I find at
9:32
least one new outhouse or bathroom
9:35
somewhere, just
9:38
in case.
9:40
>> Speaker B: Do you have a stop that's like, this is the one I want to
9:42
hit if I have to choose. Or is it kind of like
9:45
whenever nature calls?
9:48
>> Speaker A: Uh, it's kind of whenever nature calls,
9:50
yeah. Uh, when we're grass seed farming, it's a
9:53
little simpler because we have two outhouses on either side of the
9:56
farm. One of those things is it's in the perfect
9:58
spot. It's under a tree, but the breeze comes through
10:01
it. It's shaded all day round, so it's never
10:04
hotter than it is outside. Like I
10:07
say, it's just right in the breeze, so it's no smell. And
10:10
it's nice and cool in there. And it's one of the old ones with the metal
10:13
latch and everything. So it's really nice
10:16
outhouse. Just got to plan what side of the field you're
10:18
on so you can use it. Yeah.
10:21
Aside from that, there's not really any
10:24
special bathroom. I know which ones tend to be cleaner and usually
10:27
try to make it to them at least, but, yeah.
10:32
>> Speaker B: Good clean ones.
10:33
>> Speaker A: Yeah, that's real nice. You get one that's just a mess
10:36
and it's a bit miserable if you have a bad
10:39
one.
10:39
>> Speaker B: Well, yeah, especially, like, when you're just trying to
10:42
be quick and you just come into a
10:45
mess. It's like, can we not?
10:47
>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. It's the worst feeling when you come to, like,
10:49
a new truck stop you've never been to, and you go in the bathroom and
10:52
it's the middle of the night, you're tired, just trying to go
10:55
home, and there's crap on the walls.
10:59
That's a miserable evening.
11:01
>> Speaker B: How did we get here?
11:02
>> Speaker A: Pretty much.
11:04
>> Speaker B: What arrangement were you in that you got it
11:07
here? Uh,
11:11
yeah. Like I said, if you think of
11:13
one as we go, shout it out. But when your cousin was on the
11:16
show, uh, Jason, he
11:19
shared, like, he's farming, he's doing the
11:22
tractor thing, and he's got poop. And
11:24
sometimes you just hit the field with the blue shop towel, and
11:27
that's.
11:31
>> Speaker A: A little bit worse than that. It was a winter day, and so
11:34
I had two shirts on instead of a sweatshirt because they just get
11:37
so heavy and you start sweating when you're working. And that was when I
11:40
had first started driving trucks, so I was still working for a sheep
11:43
farm. Uh, and when we weren't driving truck, I'd be out building
11:46
fence. I was building fence on a couple of hundred acre
11:49
field one day. And luckily it had a little
11:51
forest on it because just all of a sudden,
11:55
nature was a calling. And I didn't even have any blue shop
11:58
towels. And needless to say, I only had one shirt after
12:01
said encounter. But no, luckily, I was wearing
12:04
two shirts that day and kind of saved me.
12:06
>> Speaker B: Did you pack the shirt out or did you bury it? Did you leave it?
12:09
Bury it?
12:10
>> Speaker A: I had a plastic bag. I just wrapped it up and burned it.
12:12
>> Speaker B: When I got burned it, there's no
12:15
turning back.
12:16
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Ah.
12:16
>> Speaker B: Would you remember what the shirt was? It was just plain shirt.
12:19
>> Speaker A: Just a plain work shirt? Yeah. There's
12:21
times I usually wear too long with shirts, and
12:24
that's not even with the bathroom. That's the only
12:27
time I'd say it's really saved me with the bathroom, but
12:30
they help me a lot. So when you cut your finger on a fence or something,
12:33
you just cut the bottom of your shirt off because you don't have
12:36
electrical tape or anything near. They're handy.
12:38
Sometimes everybody else is going looking for.
12:41
>> Speaker B: Bandaids and, like, you're.
12:43
>> Speaker A: Well, I mean, we tried, at the sheep
12:45
farm, we always tried to keep a roll of shop towels and
12:48
a roll of electrical tape or two in the vehicle because we
12:51
used it for other things with the fence. I mean, it's an electric fence. You
12:54
got to use it sometimes. And then
12:57
if you cut your finger or something, if it was a deep cut, you'd put a shop
13:00
towel on it and then wrap it. Otherwise you'd just wrap
13:02
it better than
13:05
a bandaid. They don't come off either.
13:07
>> Speaker B: Dude, electric tape. You can get it tight, too.
13:10
>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. You got to be kind of careful sometimes because it'll
13:13
get a little too tight.
13:14
>> Speaker B: Yeah, man. The shirt,
13:17
though,
13:20
that's ingenuity.
13:21
>> Speaker A: I was glad it was a thick work shirt, too. It didn't have to fold it as
13:24
many times.
13:25
>> Speaker B: It's got a lot of padding.
13:27
>> Speaker A: Yeah, it was one of those double thick shirts,
13:29
and you got to fold it so many times so you don't make a mess of your hand
13:32
because it's a shirt. And
13:35
luckily, double stuffed shirt helps a little bit with
13:38
that.
13:38
>> Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
13:39
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, man.
13:43
>> Speaker B: Well, I have a bunch of questions that I
13:46
ask everybody.
13:47
Um. Uh,
13:50
so we're just going to hit these.
13:53
The first is in the topic of toilet paper.
13:56
Um, what type of toilet paper do you prefer?
13:59
Do you guys use at home? What are you all
14:02
using?
14:04
>> Speaker A: Shoot, we use charmin some.
14:07
And there's one other one. It comes in beautiful
14:10
bears. Yeah, we've got one other one that comes in
14:12
a, uh, blue and clear bag. It's not charmin
14:16
quilted northern m. I think so, yeah.
14:18
>> Speaker B: Quilted.
14:18
>> Speaker A: That's one mom got for years. And we use
14:21
that one quite a bit at home. That's a pretty nice one most
14:24
of the time.
14:25
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
14:26
>> Speaker A: Haven't had any complaints about it. Premium.
14:28
>> Speaker B: Like, both of those are premium.
14:30
>> Speaker A: Much better than two ply.
14:32
>> Speaker B: Yeah, we've got the one quarter
14:34
ply church paper here,
14:37
and it's actually been upgraded in the last two
14:39
years.
14:40
>> Speaker A: At that moment, you realize it'd be better to go get the hand
14:43
towels to wipe with than the toilet paper.
14:45
>> Speaker B: I told Michael, I said, michael,
14:48
if we can't figure out how to get better toilet paper, I'm going to start
14:51
using the toilet seat covers because they're actually thicker and hold up
14:54
better.
14:54
>> Speaker A: Like, I'm just going to fold one.
14:56
>> Speaker B: Of those up and flush it. It's fine. And then he got
14:59
better quote, better paper. It is better,
15:01
but it's not really. And then randomly somebody will stick a
15:04
roll of charmin in here. And I'm like, where did
15:07
someone that.
15:08
>> Speaker A: Works in the office and it's just their own private little
15:10
bathroom to take.
15:12
>> Speaker B: It out and they're like left it.
15:13
>> Speaker A: And then they probably just put one in there every
15:16
week just for them. And then when it comes time for Sunday
15:19
or the Friday night group, they just take it out and run with it.
15:22
>> Speaker B: Oh, dude. Yeah. And then when
15:25
you do toilet paper, few logistics
15:28
here. So are you a crumpler or
15:31
a folder?
15:32
>> Speaker A: Uh, folder more.
15:33
>> Speaker B: So, yeah, it's organized.
15:34
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Sometimes with the one ply stuff, you kind of have to
15:37
crumple it because not much else you can do. But
15:41
yeah, there's no.
15:43
>> Speaker B: Otherwise fold it good. Yeah.
15:47
I believe that is the sign of an organized mind.
15:50
Um, there's two types of people.
15:54
Uh, and then when it hangs on the roll,
15:57
do you believe that it must fold over or
16:00
under? Or are you
16:02
over really?
16:04
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Especially in our house because we have
16:06
those, you know how old
16:09
houses had popcorn ceilings in them?
16:11
Ours has some of those popcorn ceilings
16:14
still because it's an old house. And so to match
16:17
them in the bathroom, uh, they
16:20
added some sort of a grit to the paint. It's not the same as the
16:23
popcorn ceiling. It's a newer paint. And it's not one of the
16:25
asbestos deals. They just added it so it matched the ceiling.
16:28
>> Speaker B: Is it like glossy?
16:31
>> Speaker A: Uh, not really. It's literally just chunks that
16:34
mix into.
16:34
>> Speaker B: The paint in the house.
16:36
>> Speaker A: Yeah. And they did it to match, uh, the
16:39
ceilings. But it catches the toilet paper
16:41
sometimes and it doesn't really tear it or anything. But
16:44
you always scrape your knuckles trying to get it off.
16:47
>> Speaker B: You are the first person I've talked to who has a
16:50
legitimate knuckle scraping concern.
16:52
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
16:52
>> Speaker B: Because if your paint is textured,
16:56
that's not bad.
16:57
>> Speaker A: But when you got legitimate chunks,
16:59
really, it scrapes. That's
17:02
wild, dude. Yeah, it's an annoying.
17:05
>> Speaker B: Have you ever seen another house with that?
17:07
>> Speaker A: A, uh, couple? Yeah, the older houses, it's always
17:10
just one of those deals where they do it to match the ceiling.
17:13
>> Speaker B: I am fascinated by that.
17:15
>> Speaker A: Yeah, that's one of those where they want to repaint the
17:18
house, but they don't want to deal with all the asbestos tearing out
17:21
the ceiling and everything. And redoing all of it. And
17:23
so they just do it to match on their new paint job. And there's
17:26
actually companies that legitimately make grit
17:29
to add into it. And I'm sure they've, uh, got other reasons as why they
17:32
do it, but that's the reason I see a lot of the old
17:35
houses do it.
17:36
>> Speaker B: Gridded walls.
17:37
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
17:38
>> Speaker B: That's wild. Yeah. That popcorn stuff, uh, drives
17:41
me nuts. I had to remove a bunch with
17:43
my dad when I was in high school. And it's just like,
17:47
you got to get all the special gear because you'll
17:50
get sick.
17:51
>> Speaker A: Uh, all the best was when you're jumping on your bed as a kid,
17:54
and you'd hit your head on the ceiling and just rains
17:57
down.
18:00
>> Speaker B: I can't remember what it was, but my buddy threw something in our
18:03
front room, and it grazed the ceiling, and it
18:06
perfectly shredded a big line. So we
18:09
just had this bald patch on our ceiling. For
18:12
most of my childhood, I was like, mom, Christmas
18:15
came early. Yeah. Every time you go in,
18:18
it's like, yeah, well, there it is. Here we are again.
18:20
>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah. One of the places I used
18:23
to work, I knew the family forever. And I
18:26
know, uh, one of the kids was at. I think he broke his leg
18:29
or something one time. So he had a deal that was hung from the
18:32
ceiling to pull himself up off the couch while he was sitting there.
18:35
>> Speaker B: Yeah.
18:36
>> Speaker A: And he was bored. And they have a mark in the
18:39
beam of their house because it's a
18:42
full two story house they built to look like a log cabin.
18:44
And it used legitimate full circle logs and everything.
18:47
Then just did some fancy stuff on the inside so they didn't
18:50
have to, uh, do any moss or anything to seal up
18:53
the logs. So it's just a clean look on the outside. But
18:56
because of that, they have some really massive beams in the
18:59
house. And he'd just throw this chunk of metal and bounce it off
19:02
the beam. And so there's just a mark on the one beam in their
19:05
living room where it was. Oh, my goodness.
19:07
>> Speaker B: Can't have nice things.
19:09
>> Speaker A: Well, they had quite a few kids, so, I mean,
19:12
they pretty expected it.
19:14
>> Speaker B: Kids and pets are so hard on everything.
19:19
Our kids, they're pretty
19:22
chill. But even they, like, my son runs
19:25
his trucks down the hall and just into the wall, and
19:28
it's just like, gashes.
19:29
>> Speaker A: That's why you need those big baseboards.
19:33
>> Speaker B: For a while, I was, like, patching them, patching them. And
19:36
it happens every week. And I was like, you know what? I'm
19:39
just going to let there be little gashes until you turn, like ten
19:42
or 15, and then I'll patch it
19:45
one day.
19:45
>> Speaker A: Our house has, like, shoot, it's got to be
19:48
close to a 20 foot long hallway at
19:51
one point. And we used to run hot wheels up and down as
19:54
kids when we weren't farming the carpet with our
19:57
diecast tractors.
19:59
Those baseball. The baseboards
20:02
saved it by a long shot because they just bounce off
20:05
of them. There's little chips in the wood baseboards all the way down
20:08
still.
20:08
>> Speaker B: But you're not, like, paint that repairing wall.
20:11
>> Speaker A: Yeah. And they were just dyed,
20:14
uh, brown baseboards, so they're not.
20:17
Don't notice it as much.
20:18
>> Speaker B: That's easy enough. Uh,
20:21
so with the toilet paper, do
20:24
you have, like, a system? Are you a three sheet
20:27
person? Do you count? Is it just, like, however much?
20:30
>> Speaker A: I don't know. I think I usually end up being around four, unless
20:33
it's a diarrhea type day. There you go.
20:35
I just grab so many and fold it twice
20:38
and go for it.
20:41
>> Speaker B: Keep it simple.
20:44
So when you're in the shower, taking it in the
20:46
shower, uh, are you a bar soap or a
20:49
liquid soap lad?
20:51
>> Speaker A: It varies. I mean, obviously,
20:54
uh, a shampoo. Liquid
20:57
shampoo. But we do use
21:00
bar soap quite a bit for everything else.
21:02
>> Speaker B: Really?
21:02
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Some people are kind of
21:05
nervous about it. But then on the flip side, you got to remember it came from
21:08
Lysol. I mean, some of the new stuff, I don't know
21:11
if I trust, if it was a shared
21:13
bar, but when it's
21:16
just you that's using the bar, why not?
21:19
It's a lot simpler. It doesn't make a mess.
21:22
Easier on everything to use,
21:25
simpler to store. Yeah, and it doesn't
21:28
sud up as much, so that's kind of nice.
21:31
>> Speaker B: You don't share a bathroom with anyone?
21:32
>> Speaker A: Oh, I do. I share a bathroom. But years, uh,
21:35
ago, we got these, uh, racks in the corner of
21:38
it, and so we can keep our stuff somewhat
21:41
separated.
21:42
>> Speaker B: You ever carve messages to people in the soap?
21:45
>> Speaker A: Not in the soap. I know one time I used to
21:47
enjoy when I was a kid, I'd just squeeze it as hard as I can after it been
21:50
in the hot shower and make shapes out of it and then
21:53
put it back. And since it was just me that was using it, I mean,
21:56
it's all still there. It's not changing anything.
21:59
>> Speaker B: Funny. You had, like, little mini
22:02
playdoh.
22:02
>> Speaker A: Uh-huh. Pretty much.
22:05
>> Speaker B: See, I've never heard of anybody doing that either. Here
22:08
we are. Um, how do you feel about
22:10
baths? Taking a bath.
22:13
>> Speaker A: Uh, since I drive truck, I do a decent
22:16
bit of my own aluminum polishing. And when you do
22:18
that, it looks like you have blackface. It just gets
22:21
everywhere because when you do, like a
22:24
proper metal polish, you have to sand it. And
22:27
then, uh, there's different, uh, grits of
22:30
rouge bars with different, uh, hardnesses of
22:33
flap discs. And when you use those, it's always
22:35
removing a thin chunk of aluminum and it just turns
22:38
everything you're wearing black. And you got to be careful not to get
22:41
it in your lungs and stuff.
22:43
>> Speaker B: Right.
22:43
>> Speaker A: You can't just shower that stuff off. I mean, I
22:46
have soaked my arm in hot water and then
22:49
used the best soap I have and it still struggles to pull
22:52
it off. Sometimes when I deal with
22:55
that stuff, I'll usually sit in the bath 30
22:58
minutes and then take a shower.
23:00
>> Speaker B: Really?
23:01
>> Speaker A: And, um, I've
23:03
also screwed my backup before. And sometimes
23:06
sitting in the bathtub is kind of nice for that. In the evening or when
23:09
I was running sheep, that stuff gets all over your clothing
23:12
and all that. And I was used to the smell. But to get yourself
23:15
decently clean, it was nice to just sit in there for a little
23:18
bit and then take your shower and deal with it. I can't
23:20
stand washing my hair in a bathtub or that kind of thing,
23:23
though. That's a nightmare.
23:25
>> Speaker B: So the bath for those is like a pre soak?
23:28
>> Speaker A: Pretty much, yeah.
23:32
Well, when you got, uh, sit in the hot water, it
23:34
helps loosen it all up. Wow. The one thing
23:37
that sucks about that stuff is also those roof bars
23:40
also act as kind of a sealant when you use them. Uh, and
23:43
so it's hard to get off because of that.
23:46
And it sucks because when it coats your face, you
23:49
practically can't sweat. And that
23:52
gets kind of miserable.
23:54
>> Speaker B: I imagine. It almost feels like if you're painted.
23:57
>> Speaker A: It'S almost kind of like getting painted by rubber.
24:00
>> Speaker B: Yeah, because you can't sweat and it just kind of overheats and gets.
24:02
Yeah, that sounds awful.
24:04
>> Speaker A: Yeah. But the end product is nice for those of us that
24:07
care what a truss looks like.
24:09
>> Speaker B: Yeah, that's true, man. That's a
24:11
sacrifice.
24:12
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
24:16
>> Speaker B: Staying in the realm of a shower. Have you ever taken a dark
24:18
shower? Shower in the dark?
24:21
>> Speaker A: I mean, when the power went out and I was in the middle of a
24:24
shower. But I don't think so otherwise.
24:27
I mean, the type of shampoo I use, I'm
24:30
pretty much blind the whole time anyway, so I wouldn't
24:33
matter. Open your eyes. I can't.
24:35
When I'm actually washing it, because
24:38
it burns. It's a bit of a
24:41
special, uh, shampoo, and I use that,
24:43
uh, selson blue stuff. I've never really had an issue with
24:46
dandruff or anything like that. Well, no,
24:49
it might be a little bit because it was a dandruff shampoo, but I
24:52
never really used it for that. It's about the only
24:55
stuff I found that would actually clean my hair decently when it got
24:58
greasy and everything.
24:59
>> Speaker B: Yeah. Because of all.
25:00
>> Speaker A: Yeah. I've used some other stuff where I'd have to wash three
25:03
or four times at the same shower just to get clean hair,
25:06
and this stuff actually does a decent job.
25:09
Selson blue. Yeah. But it will burn your eyes.
25:11
>> Speaker B: Oh, really?
25:12
>> Speaker A: And so I have to shower and then wipe my
25:15
face off before I open my eyes kind of a thing.
25:17
>> Speaker B: Really.
25:18
>> Speaker A: Wow. I'm used to that. At this point.
25:20
>> Speaker B: I'm at the sell some blue.
25:23
Yeah, man. Yeah. Because I know, like,
25:26
yeah, sometimes it's a mess and say I
25:29
need something better than what pantene's dealing with
25:32
here.
25:32
>> Speaker A: Yeah, that stuff is stout.
25:35
>> Speaker B: It's filler. Like, all the pantene is just filler.
25:38
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
25:38
>> Speaker B: Um, okay, so no dark shower.
25:41
It's relaxing. That's all I can say. Um, big
25:44
fan.
25:44
>> Speaker A: Uh.
25:46
>> Speaker B: Have you ever eaten an orange in the shower?
25:49
As if it was an apple? So, like, you peel the
25:52
orange, and then you just kind of let the juice think.
25:55
>> Speaker A: So I don't know, the. Aside from, like, uh,
25:58
every so often when I need to snack, I'll eat, like, saltine
26:01
crackers. And sometimes if I'm going to pre soak in the bath or
26:03
something like that, I'll take myself some, uh, little bag of
26:06
saltine crackers and a water or something, and I'll chew on
26:09
that. And I've drank, uh, sodas in the
26:12
shower before, and that's always really nice.
26:14
>> Speaker B: Big fan.
26:15
>> Speaker A: Yeah. That's the cold soda and the hot shower.
26:18
>> Speaker B: It's so good.
26:19
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
26:19
>> Speaker B: You're doing saltine crackers in the shower?
26:22
>> Speaker A: Not in the shower. That was just, if I'm pre soaking.
26:24
>> Speaker B: I was going to say that, man, that's a soggy business.
26:27
Like, those are not going to hold up well.
26:29
>> Speaker A: Yeah, no, they're not bad when you're just taking a bath.
26:32
>> Speaker B: That's fair. I was trying to imagine just
26:35
saltines, just
26:38
a big, gloppy pile of
26:41
saltines in the bottom of the shower.
26:43
>> Speaker A: Luke, what is this? That's a special type of
26:45
waffle stomp right there.
26:48
>> Speaker B: Well, um, that brings
26:51
me to my next question. Have you ever performed
26:54
a waffle stomp? Now, I will confess to
26:56
you, the most recent waffle stomp that I have
26:59
performed was performed mere feet away from
27:02
you. Uh,
27:05
right there. That was it. Titus was in here,
27:08
and he was in
27:11
the pooper, and I'm like, and Brendan's out
27:14
here doing his thing, and I'm just like, I know you can.
27:16
>> Speaker A: Pop those grain covers off pretty easily, right, to
27:19
save yourself a waffle stop.
27:21
>> Speaker B: Yeah, but it's kind of like research.
27:23
Um, I regretted it. I was
27:26
like, this was more than.
27:28
>> Speaker A: Need to be, but write it off on your taxes
27:31
as research for your podcast.
27:33
>> Speaker B: Research?
27:33
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
27:34
>> Speaker B: No, I made sure everything was clean before I got out, but
27:37
it did happen.
27:38
>> Speaker A: But. So you've never stomped, ever had to
27:41
wobble stomp? I usually just bail
27:44
out and maybe grab another towel if I have to.
27:50
>> Speaker B: Totally valid. Do you get back in? Are you like,
27:53
I need to finish my shower now that I'm dirty again, or is it kind
27:55
of.
27:56
>> Speaker A: Yeah, but you got to be kind of playing that game careful because
27:59
that towel gets wet and then you can't dry it off. The
28:02
nice thing is, uh, between all the family,
28:05
there's usually two or three dry towels that haven't been used
28:08
hanging in there. So you got a backup if something happens
28:11
and you just have to put a new one there for them.
28:13
And that's been a lifesaver before.
28:16
>> Speaker B: Do you get a new towel every shower, or is it
28:21
close to.
28:22
>> Speaker A: Usually because we throw them in with the jeans, and we
28:25
wash a lot of jeans, and, uh, it works good
28:27
to fill the washer at that point, so we're not just
28:30
wasting. And we've got a big enough pile
28:33
of towels. It's usually worth it to just do that.
28:36
>> Speaker B: Fresh towels are it, though.
28:39
It's good stuff. Fresh towels and fresh sheets.
28:42
>> Speaker A: Yeah, if I was living by myself,
28:45
I might use a towel twice,
28:48
unless I was just really a mess when I got
28:50
in. Uh, but, yeah, when we're.
28:53
>> Speaker B: Man, that's not that much. No.
28:56
>> Speaker A: It depends, though, because, uh, I have
28:59
a towel for when I go to
29:02
pool or a hot tub or something like that. And I'll reuse that one
29:05
several times before I worry about, uh,
29:08
washing it. It just, like I say, we go through so many
29:10
jeans in our house and everything, you might as well use it. You got to fill a
29:13
wash.
29:16
>> Speaker B: I'm such. I am like, switch. Mind when
29:19
Anna says, hey, it's time. Like, you need to change it out. It's
29:22
getting weird, and, like, oh, yeah. I didn't even notice.
29:24
>> Speaker A: Well, the other issue is I don't have enough places to hang
29:27
towels, even if I wanted to.
29:29
>> Speaker B: Yeah, that's tough.
29:30
>> Speaker A: Uh, at least I get the fresh
29:33
towel, though. That is truly nice, especially if you
29:36
catch one in the dryer right as you're heading up.
29:39
Yes, that is a great feeling.
29:41
>> Speaker B: A little warm.
29:42
>> Speaker A: Uh, yes, that's good stuff.
29:44
>> Speaker B: Um, the other maneuver, that is,
29:47
like, there's three maneuvers when you got to poop in the
29:50
shower. There is the stomp. Um, and then there
29:53
is what you do, which is, I think, the most logical
29:56
thing, which is you stop and get out and do your thing.
29:58
But the third maneuver is a catch and
30:01
throw. Now, the description of it
30:04
is you poop into your hand, and then
30:07
you try to toss it into the toilet.
30:11
So would you do that?
30:13
>> Speaker A: No, that'd be one of those deals where you have to pray you had enough
30:16
peanut butter in the last week.
30:20
Peanut butter. You got to have something there.
30:22
We need something to really hold it together. Oh, yeah, that'd be a
30:25
mess. Can you imagine? You get one of those real soft one
30:28
that falls apart when the toilet swirls, and you tried to
30:31
catch it, but
30:34
that's how the poop ends up on the walls in the truck stop.
30:37
That's it.
30:38
>> Speaker B: That's my problem, though, is mine's never
30:41
solid. Uh, Michael
30:43
wall, he's, oh, you need to go to the doctor. I'm like, michael,
30:46
I'm fine. The problem is, like, I just
30:49
drink too much of it.
30:51
>> Speaker A: Oh, I get that.
30:53
>> Speaker B: Yeah. So not a fan of the toss.
30:55
>> Speaker A: Just keep a bucket in there for the day. It's
30:58
not solid.
31:01
>> Speaker B: Yes. Comma, I
31:04
think that there is a marketable product,
31:06
tmtmtmtm, which is like
31:09
the shower porta potty, and it's just
31:12
a disposable bucket that, ah, if you don't want to get
31:15
out, you just sit down, do your business. The shower is still hitting
31:17
you.
31:18
>> Speaker A: They actually make those for hunting.
31:21
It's like a five gallon bucket. You could probably just put it in the
31:23
shower because it's all plastic.
31:25
>> Speaker B: Perfect. M but I think for me,
31:28
it needs to be marketed specifically for the
31:30
shower.
31:32
>> Speaker A: Toilets usually are exactly opposite of the
31:35
showers. Maybe we just make, like, a metal or a plastic
31:38
slide that runs from the shower over there with a seed on
31:41
it.
31:41
>> Speaker B: Just a poop slide.
31:42
>> Speaker A: Yeah. There you go.
31:44
>> Speaker B: And then let the shower water kind of run it down the
31:46
gutter.
31:47
>> Speaker A: Yeah, maybe just spray a little dawn in there so it's clean
31:50
for the next time.
31:51
>> Speaker B: Oh, man, that is
31:54
an image somebody just walks
31:57
in and you've got this contraption. What are
32:00
you doing? Uh, it's like a marble
32:02
racetrack
32:05
gutter.
32:06
>> Speaker A: You couldn't do that with kids. They'd be sitting there with their home wheels
32:09
trying to make them.
32:09
>> Speaker B: They'd be floating little ducks down the thing.
32:13
Kids are wild, dude. Kids bath toys.
32:16
They're so weird and they're so gross
32:19
because eventually they just get, like, black inside
32:23
and they just spray their eye socket with it.
32:26
It's fun. And I'm like,
32:29
kids are made of, like, nuclear
32:31
waste.
32:32
>> Speaker A: I remember when I got my first floating Lego.
32:35
>> Speaker B: Floating Lego?
32:36
>> Speaker A: Yeah. Uh, so I did a lot of Lego city
32:39
sets when I was a kid and I've only got like one
32:42
or two actually, like, complete sets. But one of
32:45
them, they had. They had a couple different floating ones, but the one I got
32:48
was they had a coast Guard series and they had
32:51
this boat that was like this long with a solid
32:53
hole. People on there don't know what is, but it was
32:56
like a foot or foot and a half long. And then you just
32:59
built everything on the hole on top of it. And
33:02
so it was an actual floating Lego boat.
33:05
>> Speaker B: That's awesome.
33:06
>> Speaker A: That thing was sweet. I got that when I was, like, 13. I probably
33:09
played with it in the shower, like, twice.
33:10
>> Speaker B: But I wonder how many floating Lego sets they've
33:13
made.
33:14
>> Speaker A: A lot.
33:14
>> Speaker B: Really?
33:14
>> Speaker A: I mean, I've seen quite a few of them.
33:16
>> Speaker B: Really?
33:16
>> Speaker A: I think there was even a company M at one point that made like
33:19
a full on aircraft carrier that was like 3ft
33:22
long and could float.
33:23
>> Speaker B: Wow.
33:24
>> Speaker A: There's quite a few of them.
33:25
>> Speaker B: That's cool, because I know my son,
33:28
he's got a lot of Minecraft Legos and there's some
33:31
water creatures in Minecraft and he wanted them to float
33:34
and it wasn't happening.
33:35
>> Speaker A: Yeah, well, they literally cast a
33:38
solid hole and then you build everything on top of
33:41
it. Um, in my case, the hole
33:44
was empty and there was a piece that snapped on the top of it.
33:47
But a lot of times they'd put those, I don't know what you'd call
33:50
them, the little points for the Legos to snap on
33:52
throughout the hole. And you'd build a structure out of it, kind of a thing on
33:55
a lot of them. But, yeah, this one just had a solid
33:58
form piece, the same length as the hole that would snap
34:01
on top and you'd build everything on it. That's cool.
34:04
Yeah. There's kind of build Legos while you're taking a bath. Yeah. And
34:07
I've started getting uh, back into Legos
34:10
more because now I've got the adult money to
34:13
spend on some of them. There's some wild Legos. They
34:16
actually make like, proper lego guns that shoot
34:19
a dart, really? And stuff like that. And I
34:21
found one, um, that I'd love to have. It's a
34:24
crane that's like four and a half feet tall.
34:27
All legos.
34:28
>> Speaker B: That's huge.
34:29
>> Speaker A: Yeah, it's massive. It was
34:31
sweet.
34:32
>> Speaker B: Dang. Yeah.
34:34
>> Speaker A: Lego.
34:35
>> Speaker B: It's crazy what people do.
34:37
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
34:37
>> Speaker B: I'm baffled. I'm not that creative. I'm like, give me
34:40
a book that teaches me how to do this step by step.
34:43
Um.
34:44
>> Speaker A: Wow.
34:45
>> Speaker B: Bathtub legos.
34:46
Uh, have you ever
34:49
had a snack on the toilet?
34:52
>> Speaker A: I don't think on the toilet. I have. I mean, I've
34:55
had a soda that I brought in with me. I was midway through finishing it,
34:58
sort of thing. We're lucky. Where. Ah, both our
35:01
toilets are close enough to the counter. The one you can just reach around the
35:04
wall and set something there.
35:06
>> Speaker B: Those spare toilets next to
35:08
the.
35:09
>> Speaker A: It's kind of a weird bathroom design. They wanted the sink
35:12
and the toilet to be slightly separated. I don't know if it was a
35:15
couple's thing when they built the house or what, but there's just like one little
35:18
wall that comes out, even with the toilet, that the toilet
35:21
paper is mounted there to your right, and the
35:24
toilet faces the shower. And then the
35:27
sink is just two of the right on the backside of that
35:30
wall. And then the other toilet, uh, the downstairs
35:33
bathroom, the shower, it's just a little stand up
35:35
shower, only instead of a bathtub shower, and it and
35:38
the toilet are both on the same side. And then
35:41
there's sinks over by the shower. It's kind of
35:44
weird.
35:44
>> Speaker B: Yeah. That is interesting.
35:49
Maybe they just needed their privacy. Who knows?
35:52
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
35:53
>> Speaker B: Um, so
35:56
do you have a restaurant establishment that
35:58
just fouls you up, does
36:01
you?
36:05
Applebee's?
36:05
>> Speaker A: No, Applebee's isn't usually too bad.
36:08
Yeah, I don't know.
36:11
I mean, I've had restaurants that I haven't been back to
36:14
because their food wasn't great. And then they
36:17
messed me up. I'm
36:20
kind of lucky to wear most of the places I like to
36:22
frequent. Um, like the one market that was my favorite
36:25
place to go to. Yes. Great
36:28
food wouldn't really foul me up, but
36:30
it was always predictable. Like an hour and a
36:33
half to 2 hours later, you'd have to go. There was
36:36
no way around it.
36:37
>> Speaker B: It's a shed market. Yeah.
36:38
>> Speaker A: That place. Delicious food. And it would always hit you
36:41
just x amount of time after. And, uh, it was always a good
36:44
poop, was never no
36:47
runny.
36:48
>> Speaker B: It was consistent poop.
36:50
>> Speaker A: Yeah, never anything miserable, which was
36:53
great. I mean, that's the last thing you want when you're in the middle of
36:56
work. Yeah, just that one that the
36:59
surprise? Oh, yeah, the one that hits and then
37:01
itches the rest of the day no matter what you do.
37:05
That's a miserable way to end the day
37:07
existence. Yeah.
37:10
>> Speaker B: Um, well, good.
37:12
Hey, you've figured out
37:15
how to not eat things that destroy you, and that's
37:18
good.
37:18
>> Speaker A: Oh, actually, I do know one. That's Denny's
37:21
steak. I should never have ordered one there, but I
37:24
was craving that steak on a Friday night.
37:28
That was a bad idea.
37:30
>> Speaker B: That's why you're always like, yeah, we're not going to Denny's.
37:32
>> Speaker A: Oh, that's not the only reason. I just couldn't stand that steak.
37:35
They've got that, um, cookie batter shake, which is
37:38
always. I like. Yeah, but
37:41
man, that steak, it's Friday night. I want a steak.
37:44
I don't want to go to Denny's because you get rubber on a
37:46
platter. That one
37:49
did mess me up a little bit. Or hash browns. For some
37:52
reason. Hash browns seem to.
37:54
>> Speaker B: Hash browns.
37:54
>> Speaker A: It's the weirdest thing ever. Oil. I don't know because I eat
37:57
french fries, tater tots, all that other stuff that's fried and
38:00
have no issue. But for whatever reason, when I have
38:03
hash browns in my breakfast,
38:06
it makes a mess and I don't know why.
38:10
Hash browns, it's the weirdest thing ever. I ate them
38:13
forever and I was always fine with it
38:15
for a couple of hours, and then all of a sudden when it hit, it
38:18
was just terrible and nothing
38:21
solid ever. Yeah, I
38:24
quit eating them, but nothing solid.
38:26
>> Speaker B: You got to get more peanut butter. No,
38:29
shoot. Yeah, I'm going to just
38:32
start telling people, hey, you need to get some more peanut
38:35
butter in your whole thing.
38:39
Wow, do you have any bathroom
38:42
pet peeves? Like, things that people do? It's just
38:45
like, you got to stop this.
38:49
>> Speaker A: I don't, um, know.
38:54
Have you ever dealt with those people that do, like, the scented
38:56
candles in their bathroom? Yeah, that
39:00
kind of depends. Sometimes it's not so bad, but
39:03
I've had one or two of those that was just
39:06
too much. Oh, yeah, like, overload your
39:09
nose. You're sitting in there holding it, just.
39:11
Man, that was not a fun type bathroom. M
39:14
stay.
39:15
>> Speaker B: We have one, but our bathroom is
39:18
pretty big and it sits away from.
39:21
>> Speaker A: The toilet and it all depends on the odor. What gets
39:24
me is when you can't.
39:25
>> Speaker B: Put food scented ones in the
39:27
bathroom.
39:28
>> Speaker A: Yeah, well, there's those ones that, or they have those,
39:30
um, blocks that they put in the heater thing that
39:33
melt. Those ones aren't
39:36
too bad, but those are what really got me when I
39:39
say scented candles, because there was, um, one place
39:42
I dealt with, it was, like, two and a half feet from the toilet
39:45
in an outlet.
39:46
>> Speaker B: Too much.
39:46
>> Speaker A: That was just way too much.
39:50
I don't know of, uh, any others. It's nice
39:53
when people actually keep a plunger in the bathroom somewhere
39:56
near. That drives me nuts when they have, like, a whole
39:59
scene on the top of the back of the toilet. So if something happens,
40:02
you can't stop the toilet, and there's no
40:04
plunger nearby. That's
40:07
a scary, when you're at someone else's house, you notice that
40:10
that's a scary place to go to the bathroom.
40:12
>> Speaker B: And it's troubling because
40:15
plungers, they're so cheap. They're,
40:18
uh, $10 for an okay plunger.
40:21
>> Speaker A: And they're a lifesaver sometimes.
40:22
>> Speaker B: Yeah. It's just like, have one.
40:25
>> Speaker A: We've got one at our house that has been reliable for
40:28
probably going on, like, 25 years now. I would guess it's
40:31
one of the old wooden handled ones.
40:33
>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
40:33
>> Speaker A: That thing's nice because you can actually really get after it without the
40:36
handle doing the whole bending, like it's going to break, like the
40:39
plastic plungers do. And it's still a rubber base
40:42
instead of one of those plasticky bases. So it
40:45
works.
40:45
>> Speaker B: The plastic ones, they, like, crack weird.
40:48
Once you use them, if you don't clean them and let them
40:51
dry. Right. They crack, and it's just like,
40:54
what are we? Just get a real plunger?
40:56
>> Speaker A: Yeah. And they got no pressure behind them when you're getting
40:59
after it. And you have to do full plunges. That's one of the best
41:02
things about the old rubber plungers.
41:04
>> Speaker B: Ah.
41:04
>> Speaker A: If you have a toilet that's about to come over the
41:07
top, right, it's real full, and you
41:10
stick a plunger down there, it makes those big bubbles, and it
41:13
can become a mess real fast. Those old rubber plungers,
41:16
you could just ease the first stroke down and get, like, one
41:19
bubble to come out, and then you just do these little bitty short strokes with
41:22
it, and it doesn't make a mess, and it still has enough power
41:25
to flush it. And you can't do that with the plastic
41:27
ones. I hate them.
41:30
>> Speaker B: Have you ever had to use the stick side of a plunger to bust
41:33
something up.
41:33
>> Speaker A: Uh, no, I've never had one that bad.
41:36
>> Speaker B: Well, but I had to do it a couple of times at
41:38
camps or as janitor and some kid. I
41:41
mean, it's not usually a poop. It's usually
41:44
the toilet paper. We're,
41:47
like, making basketball sized clumps in there before
41:50
we flush. And it's just like, you got to just kind of bust it
41:53
up, and it's the worst every time.
41:55
>> Speaker A: Well, I'm also kind of lucky because the one. I
41:58
usually have outhouses at work. Right. But I have
42:01
had that, uh, a bathroom at work, but it was the old
42:04
school toilet that, ah, actually, uh, puts out
42:06
some pressure. And if you have a wad down there, it'll
42:09
bust it up before it goes down, kind of a thing.
42:12
So you don't really have much of that issue, which is
42:15
nice.
42:16
>> Speaker B: That's good. Yeah. Well, that is
42:19
all the formal questions. Um, do you
42:21
have anything that you want to leave folks
42:24
with bathroom wisdom, like sage
42:26
advice for the bathroom
42:29
space?
42:31
>> Speaker A: I don't know.
42:32
Um, maybe lay
42:35
off the scented soaps. Yeah, just
42:38
leave, uh, a good soap in there. Liquid soap. It doesn't have to be one of those
42:41
fancy foaming soaps. Yeah, that
42:44
can be such a mess.
42:47
>> Speaker B: I'm guilty of the foaming soap, except.
42:50
>> Speaker A: Well, it's not bad soap. It's just. It's so expensive,
42:53
and sometimes
42:56
you get that one scent that is just too
42:58
much. Not what you wanted that night.
43:01
>> Speaker B: Yeah. Uh, I have, like,
43:04
this jank bottle of soap that somebody gave us
43:07
that's, like, there's no glycerin in
43:10
it or whatever they use as, like, a thickening.
43:13
And so it is just the most thin liquid soap, and
43:16
you hit it, and it's just everywhere. And I'm like, I hate this, but I'm
43:19
too cheap to get rid of it. Um, so
43:21
chill out with the scented soaps. I
43:24
like it. Um, and candles.
43:27
>> Speaker A: Yeah, some of those.
43:29
>> Speaker B: A little bit of stink in a bathroom sometimes is
43:32
fine.
43:32
>> Speaker A: It's fine with your scented stuff. You just don't need to throw
43:35
one that powerful, that close to it.
43:38
>> Speaker B: Yeah. To me, it's almost like. It's like the
43:41
middle school kid who just. Their solution
43:43
to all of life's problems is more axe body
43:46
spray. And it's like, listen, now.
43:49
You smell like bad teen
43:52
and axe.
43:53
>> Speaker A: That right there is where the scented soaps are nice because it
43:56
covers up that body spray when they come back out.
44:00
>> Speaker B: But sometimes these candles in room
44:03
sprays. Like, if somebody does a bad job. And
44:06
they're like, oh, I got to cover it. It's like, sometimes just let the
44:08
bad job sit and, um,
44:11
bath rubles or.
44:12
>> Speaker A: The window and the fan are the best.
44:14
>> Speaker B: Yes.
44:15
>> Speaker A: That's what you need.
44:16
>> Speaker B: Yeah. That's the only thing that I
44:19
don't like about my bathroom. In our new place and our old
44:22
place. Our old place has the window and right behind a toilet,
44:25
just blank. And it's perfect. In this
44:28
one, there's nothing. It's got the vent, but it doesn't do
44:31
much.
44:31
>> Speaker A: Yeah.
44:31
>> Speaker B: Um, well, cool. Well,
44:35
if you don't have anything else, I'm going
44:38
to go ahead and close down the show. I always tell people this is
44:41
the part where I feel like I'm the dog in the backyard
44:44
pooping and you kind of have to watch, but
44:47
you don't really know. It's awkward. Um, but
44:50
I'll close it down here. Thank you for being here, uh,
44:53
and doing this. Um, I'm
44:56
pumped for it. Uh, and thank you all for
44:58
listening. Uh, I'm not going to do all the social plugs
45:01
because I hate that part. But if
45:04
you want to email us, email us
45:06
privycast@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you. I want to thank
45:09
Kevin and Pottington for the use of their music. This has
45:12
been another episode of Privy. Thanks so much for joining us. And
45:14
now, as always, don't forget
45:17
to flush. And this is the part that every
45:20
single time when I'm going to take one of
45:23
these, you don't need to much
45:26
push this back just a little bit.
45:29
I'm going to go right around the corner, and I'm going to hit the urinal
45:32
clutch this week. Got to get that real
45:35
good.
