Transcript
- 0:00>> Speaker A: So it felt, like, really nice after it was in, but that initial,
- 0:03like, shoving it in there was just super painful.
- 0:06>> Speaker B: But.
- 0:13>> Speaker C: Welcome back to privy. Privy is a
- 0:15podcast about bathrooms recorded
- 0:19this week. Uh, I'm on
- 0:22location as it is, uh, at
- 0:25a friend and, uh, a mentor.
- 0:30We're already going,
- 0:33uh, this one could get off the
- 0:36rails really quick, but we're going to see here.
- 0:39But, yeah, just to intro it here. And this
- 0:42is going to hit you later, but I've
- 0:45been in an ongoing conversation with, uh,
- 0:48some folks I work with about how many
- 0:51squares of toilet paper is the appropriate number
- 0:54of squares for normal human use.
- 0:56Um, and I'm on record saying it's three,
- 0:59so you can.
- 1:00>> Speaker A: Three?
- 1:01>> Speaker C: Yeah. What?
- 1:03>> Speaker A: Three squares.
- 1:04>> Speaker C: Three. Three squares total.
- 1:06>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 1:06>> Speaker A: When you wipe.
- 1:07>> Speaker C: Yeah, when you wipe your poop.
- 1:11>> Speaker A: Serious?
- 1:12>> Speaker C: Yeah, 100%. So, um,
- 1:15I'm joined this week. We might as well just get him right on.
- 1:17Uh, by Austin Kent. Um, Austin and I have been
- 1:20friends for, uh, eight, nine years, something like that. We met in
- 1:23college, uh, those rowdy, uh,
- 1:26Bible college days. As rowdy as those can get, being
- 1:29rowdy in Bible college essentially means you skip chapel to play
- 1:31Pokemon cards.
- 1:33>> Speaker A: Um, I just want to play video games. You're the ones who made
- 1:36me rowdy.
- 1:37>> Speaker C: Right? And
- 1:40that's exactly it. Um,
- 1:43well, perfect. Uh, so tell us a little bit about
- 1:46who you are, because I know who you are, but I
- 1:49know everything about you.
- 1:50>> Speaker A: Um, my name is Austin Kent. I'm, um,
- 1:5228.
- 1:53>> Speaker C: He's not single.
- 1:55>> Speaker A: I am not single. I'm very married. We're, uh, getting ready to have a baby
- 1:57girl here, uh, July 27. Super excited.
- 2:00Um, had our second ultrasound already. Everything's going
- 2:03good. And getting ready to be a dad, pretty
- 2:06much.
- 2:06>> Speaker C: Awesome. Are you
- 2:09just super stoked or.
- 2:12>> Speaker A: Um. I'm super stoked.
- 2:13>> Speaker B: Yeah. That's my first kid.
- 2:15>> Speaker C: Is there any not existential
- 2:18dread, but just like.
- 2:19>> Speaker A: No. Oh, no.
- 2:21>> Speaker C: This is coming down the line.
- 2:22>> Speaker A: No. I've been wanting to have kids since I was a
- 2:25kid, and I still am a kid, kind of. So, yeah. Uh,
- 2:28there's no part of me that is scared or regretful in
- 2:31any way.
- 2:32>> Speaker C: That's so cool.
- 2:33>> Speaker B: That's awesome.
- 2:33>> Speaker C: Um, what about in the
- 2:36diapering and
- 2:39bathroom? The things that come out of the bottom.
- 2:43>> Speaker A: I feel like I'm ignorant to a lot
- 2:46of what parenting entails, and so
- 2:49I think if I knew what I needed to be prepared for, I
- 2:52would be more nervous than I am. But
- 2:55I've never babysat or gone through any of
- 2:58that before, so I'm just thinking about all the smiles
- 3:01and the walks in the park and all the fun
- 3:04stuff. So I'm not really thinking about all that stuff, because it'll be here, and I'm
- 3:07sure it'll be all I think about when I have the kids. So
- 3:10right now, I'm just going to enjoy the excited sleeping in
- 3:12and.
- 3:14>> Speaker B: Absolutely.
- 3:15>> Speaker C: That's exactly right. Um, the only thing that I want to
- 3:18tell you, uh, that I wish
- 3:21someone would have told me, is
- 3:24when she's born in the hospital,
- 3:27that first diaper, the poo is
- 3:30like black tar.
- 3:31>> Speaker A: That's what I've heard.
- 3:32>> Speaker C: I'm glad you've heard it, because I didn't know that.
- 3:35>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 3:35>> Speaker C: And to not freak out, and I thought that there was something gravely wrong
- 3:38with my son. Uh, and so you're already
- 3:41ahead of where I was because you know
- 3:44that the black tarduki is coming.
- 3:46Um, but, yeah.
- 3:48>> Speaker A: Is it like a thicker.
- 3:51>> Speaker C: It's just impossibly sticky and black, like.
- 3:54>> Speaker A: A big black booger almost. Kind of.
- 3:55>> Speaker C: Kind of. But it just keeps
- 3:58wiping. You know how, like, on.
- 4:01>> Speaker B: I don't.
- 4:01>> Speaker A: Do people save it?
- 4:02>> Speaker C: No, they don't save that. They save the umbilical cord.
- 4:05>> Speaker A: There's a lot of people who save a lot of weird first things.
- 4:07>> Speaker C: People do a lot of things with the umbilical cord.
- 4:10>> Speaker B: I didn't do that.
- 4:14>> Speaker A: My mom still has. We were going through a photo album when we were
- 4:17home, just a few this last weekend, and she still
- 4:19has, like, in an envelope, like, all of our first haircut, like
- 4:22hair. Is that normal? Is that, uh,
- 4:25normal thing? Which I was like, oh,
- 4:29I opened it, and I was like, what is in this? And my mom was like,
- 4:31oh, it's your brother's hair from his first haircut. I
- 4:34think it's 25 years ago.
- 4:36>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 4:37>> Speaker C: See, that was what I was going to say is, I think
- 4:40doing that is normal.
- 4:42>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 4:42>> Speaker C: I think, honestly,
- 4:45when you turn 18 to 20 is
- 4:48when that either disappears. Or
- 4:51I think what would be even creepier is then they hand it off to your
- 4:54significant other. It's like, hey.
- 4:56>> Speaker A: Or they throw it up, like as you're walking out at your wedding.
- 4:58>> Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
- 4:59>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 5:01>> Speaker A: I've told my wife something, like, weird, creepy.
- 5:04I was kind of joking, but also kind of wondered if it'd be
- 5:07feasible. You save all of your kids, like,
- 5:09toenails every time you clip them until
- 5:12they get married, and then you give them in little baggies to everybody at
- 5:15the ceremony, and they throw the toenails. Like, sometimes they do
- 5:18bubbles or they do for the send off.
- 5:21>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 5:21>> Speaker C: Toenails.
- 5:22>> Speaker B: Um.
- 5:25>> Speaker C: You'Re getting ready to have that moment where you're going to have to decide if
- 5:28you want to do it, because that first toenail
- 5:31clipping is probably only about six to eight months ahead
- 5:34of your future here. So probably, I don't know, my
- 5:37wife probably is going to be like, dummy, you do it faster
- 5:40than that. I suck at
- 5:43clipping kids toenails.
- 5:44>> Speaker A: I suck at clipping dog toenails.
- 5:46>> Speaker C: M. Yeah. Uh,
- 5:49I don't know which is worse.
- 5:52>> Speaker A: Every time you click it, there's just that part in you
- 5:55that's like, oh, my gosh, are you going to wail in pain on this
- 5:58one?
- 5:59>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 5:59>> Speaker A: Am I going to ruin them?
- 6:00>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 6:01>> Speaker C: And it's the same for kids because it's like they can't sit still.
- 6:04They refuse, um,
- 6:07just outright cannot do it. No, it
- 6:10doesn't stop. So
- 6:13your job, if you don't mind sharing, I don't know if you're even allowed
- 6:16to. It's top secret, high security. Um,
- 6:19but what do you do for fun?
- 6:22Uh, living? I don't know if it's fun.
- 6:25>> Speaker A: Fun living. Yeah.
- 6:29>> Speaker C: You go to work. What do you do?
- 6:31>> Speaker A: Oh, so you want to know what I do for. What I do for a living and
- 6:34what I do for fun are two different things.
- 6:37>> Speaker B: Not always.
- 6:38>> Speaker A: Not always.
- 6:39>> Speaker C: Depends on the day, am I right?
- 6:40>> Speaker A: I mean, I do have fun at,
- 6:44um, so I work up in Woodburn, uh,
- 6:47for OiA, which is Oregon youth Authority, and
- 6:50I am a group life coordinator, which is a fancy way of saying that I
- 6:53babysit criminals.
- 6:58I pretty much just watch. Supervision, uh, is
- 7:01like, the main part of the job, but we also are supposed to interact
- 7:04with them. And we work specifically on a drug and alcohol unit, so
- 7:07there's a lot of treatment and stuff involved. But
- 7:0990% of the day is making sure kids don't get in fights
- 7:12and telling them what not to do.
- 7:16>> Speaker C: Well, perfect. At that job,
- 7:20I always joke with you and our other friend
- 7:23Gavin, uh, that the kids that I have,
- 7:26I often send them right up the valley to y'all.
- 7:29And so one of my students this last
- 7:32week, um, so he introduced me to a
- 7:35thing called the Glock dookie. Um,
- 7:38first of all, have you ever heard of this, working
- 7:41in your field of expertise?
- 7:43>> Speaker A: Glock dookie?
- 7:44>> Speaker C: Yes, the Glock dookie.
- 7:45>> Speaker A: Um, I don't know if I'm familiar.
- 7:48>> Speaker C: Perfect. You're better off as
- 7:51a person. Not familiar.
- 7:54Um, but in short,
- 7:57what this item is, is that
- 8:00somebody has taken, um,
- 8:03poop, pee, anything, uh, that you can get
- 8:06out of your body. And more ketchup. Uh, and you stick
- 8:09it in the water bottle, and you use that to
- 8:12harass fellow,
- 8:16uh, people.
- 8:17>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 8:18>> Speaker C: I don't want to say inmates, because I don't feel like that's not.
- 8:21>> Speaker A: We do it to them.
- 8:22>> Speaker C: No, they do it to each other as, like,
- 8:25intimidation. And I don't know if they have that much contact
- 8:28where you're at, but they do. Yeah, they do.
- 8:30Perfect.
- 8:31>> Speaker A: They all sleep in the same giant room together. They're not even in individual
- 8:34cells, so they sleep in dorms, and they all share
- 8:37a giant bathroom, and they all share a big day room for
- 8:40living. Um, there have been lots of, um.
- 8:43I haven't personally been involved, thankfully, in
- 8:46any kind of bodily fluid, but it happens a
- 8:48lot. Like, people mostly spit, that people get spit on,
- 8:51but there have been worse things thrown at
- 8:54staff by youth.
- 8:57>> Speaker C: That just sounds absolutely terrible.
- 8:59>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 8:59>> Speaker A: Um, uh, semen is actually common.
- 9:02>> Speaker B: Perfect.
- 9:05>> Speaker A: One of the things, they don't usually do it to each other, because if
- 9:08you spit on someone, or if you throw
- 9:11some kind of bodily fluid on someone else, that's considered assault, and they can
- 9:13actually catch charges for that. But if you
- 9:16ejaculate into your friend's shampoo bottle.
- 9:19>> Speaker B: No.
- 9:19>> Speaker A: Ah, one can prove it to you.
- 9:21>> Speaker B: That's a good word.
- 9:21>> Speaker A: You get a laugh as they bathe themselves in it.
- 9:23>> Speaker C: Perfect. That's a great word, ejaculate. M.
- 9:27It's scientific at that point.
- 9:30Um, so not a Glock dookie, but
- 9:33something maybe much worse.
- 9:35>> Speaker A: Pee is the most common, probably, but also
- 9:37pee, fun fact, is actually a commodity
- 9:40a little bit. People will collect it in prison
- 9:43because you can use it to pass tests with
- 9:46later. I found pee in, like,
- 9:49toothpaste caps and all kinds. I thought it
- 9:51was, like, drugs of some kind. At first I'm like, oh, they're making, like, alcohol.
- 9:54And so me and a friend, this actually happened, like,
- 9:57a few months ago. We found, um, a
- 10:00toothpaste that was hidden underneath a table in a weird spot where you don't
- 10:03keep toothpaste. And I'm like, okay, there's something in this that's not
- 10:06normal. So I took it in the back and I smelled it, but it still had,
- 10:09like, the minty.
- 10:10>> Speaker B: Okay.
- 10:11>> Speaker A: I didn't know what I figured.
- 10:12>> Speaker B: It was.
- 10:12>> Speaker A: My first thought was, they're making alcohol. Because we were working on
- 10:15drug and alcohol. It wasn't my first thought
- 10:18anyways, so, uh, I was like, oh, I saw
- 10:21it was liquid in there. And so I was like, oh, they're definitely making
- 10:24drugs. Because people. That's another thing
- 10:27we have quite commonly, is they'll use juice
- 10:30or bread and sugar to make pruno. It's, uh,
- 10:32alcohol in prison, essentially. So that happens
- 10:35quite more frequently. We find that more frequently. So that's
- 10:38what my first response was, was like, oh, they're making alcohol.
- 10:41And so I'm smelling this thing, and it still has the mint
- 10:44flavor, kind of from the toothpaste in there. So I'm
- 10:46like, I'm having other staff
- 10:49smell. We're trying to figure out what it is, and then
- 10:52I end up calling my boss, and he's like, dude, it's
- 10:54piss. Like, throw it away.
- 10:57>> Speaker C: Passing it around. Like, hey, have you smelled
- 11:00this yet?
- 11:01>> Speaker A: Oh, yeah. It was gross. Thankfully, I had gloves
- 11:04on, but still, I was like, oh, man. Can't unsmell
- 11:06that. Once I knew what it was, it made sense. I was like, oh, that does smell
- 11:09like piss mixed with toothpaste, but it's not so good. Not
- 11:12a smell you really become accustomed.
- 11:14>> Speaker C: To, especially when it's not yours.
- 11:15>> Speaker A: Yeah, especially when.
- 11:17>> Speaker C: Wow. Oh, man. Um. Oh,
- 11:20also, we're not going all the way back
- 11:22because we moved on, but pee diapers smell worse
- 11:25than poop diapers sometimes.
- 11:27>> Speaker A: Really?
- 11:27>> Speaker C: Yeah, like, when they pee and it just kind of sits for a
- 11:30little bit. Yeah, it just kind of gets
- 11:33mildewy.
- 11:34>> Speaker A: See, I feel like it could be bad, but
- 11:37I was a caregiver for, like, a year and a half, and so. That's
- 11:40right. This lady would, like, I've had
- 11:43experience cleaning that kind of fecal matter in particular,
- 11:46almost on a daily basis. And I'm sure
- 11:49you're so ready for kids.
- 11:50>> Speaker C: Dude, you're fine.
- 11:53>> Speaker A: Vomit, on the other hand, is something we both.
- 11:57I can't even smell vomit without.
- 11:59>> Speaker C: Oh, homie. I had a girl at.
- 12:02Well, I think she is. You know how. Um.
- 12:04But she tossed cookies and then fell over
- 12:07in it at the high school.
- 12:08>> Speaker A: Oh, my God.
- 12:10>> Speaker C: And I'm like, listen,
- 12:13this is other duties as a sign at this point. Um,
- 12:16we need somebody else in here. This is above my expertise level.
- 12:19>> Speaker A: I mean, you got
- 12:21janitorial experience.
- 12:22>> Speaker C: I know, but not when they're
- 12:25laying in the cleanup job. It's like, okay,
- 12:29you need more help than I'm able to provide.
- 12:31>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 12:32>> Speaker C: Um, so she'll be headed your way.
- 12:34>> Speaker A: Um, anyway, not my way.
- 12:37Girls go down to the.
- 12:38>> Speaker C: Oh, shoot.
- 12:39>> Speaker A: I only deal with males, thankfully.
- 12:41>> Speaker C: Perfect. Yeah, dude, you're not wrong there.
- 12:45Okay, so no glock dookie. Um, and then the second thing I
- 12:48wanted to know is, have you ever heard of anybody passing
- 12:51notes via the toilet?
- 12:54So I think the way that this happens is they
- 12:57write the note, they stick it in like a ziploc or something that they can,
- 13:00or like some sort of small container, and then they tie
- 13:02it off to like string from their clothes and they actually run
- 13:05it down the sewer line. And then I don't know how,
- 13:08but somebody else is able to retrieve it from the
- 13:11sewer line.
- 13:12>> Speaker A: So you mean like two people from
- 13:15different cells?
- 13:17>> Speaker B: Yeah. Um.
- 13:20>> Speaker A: No, mostly because of where I work. But I'm
- 13:23sure that something like that might have happened. I mean, the
- 13:26only place that might happen is because like I said, on
- 13:29our specific unit, everyone shares the same
- 13:31bathroom. And so they don't have cells. Uh,
- 13:35the only time they're actually in their own rooms is if they're on an
- 13:38intake unit. So when they first come in, before they go to their
- 13:41long term unit, um, or if they go to
- 13:44isolation, then they're in an individual
- 13:47cell. So that might happen down there. I don't know. I don't
- 13:50work there. So it's not really ever been. Not your problem. They
- 13:53could, in theory, I guess if you want to communicate with another
- 13:55unit, but we're talking like
- 13:58200ft, you'd need to go at least in pipe
- 14:00shaft. It's a whole nother building. Yeah,
- 14:04it'd be a little tricky. I don't know if they could manage that.
- 14:07More likely they just have a cell phone.
- 14:10Yeah.
- 14:13>> Speaker C: Somebody has to have smuggled one in on the backside.
- 14:16Phones?
- 14:17>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
- 14:18>> Speaker A: Just up, uh, the. Even since I've been there, there have been two or three, probably
- 14:21up the b. I don't know how they get it
- 14:23in.
- 14:24>> Speaker C: Uh, don't ask, don't tell.
- 14:25>> Speaker A: We find a lot of stuff. It's a lot harder to find the method
- 14:28because most of the time when we discover it's already in. So we
- 14:31don't really always catch people in the
- 14:34act.
- 14:35>> Speaker C: We don't need to know how they did it.
- 14:36>> Speaker A: I don't know who has the biggest prison pocket.
- 14:38>> Speaker C: Yeah, it's like a hot pocket.
- 14:42Not none, but less pepperoni and
- 14:45cheese. Not none. Definitely little
- 14:48pepperoni, little pepperoni.
- 14:51Lots of sausage links going right in.
- 14:54Um, anyway, cool. Ah, so
- 14:57I wanted to discuss briefly
- 15:00some college things that I took notes on.
- 15:02>> Speaker A: Sure.
- 15:04>> Speaker C: And feel free
- 15:07if you just want to pull the escape
- 15:09hatch and go, this is too traumatic.
- 15:12>> Speaker A: Who I am, I can't be ashamed.
- 15:13>> Speaker C: Okay, perfect. So, um, I'm going to set the scene on this
- 15:16one. Um, and the
- 15:19scene is
- 15:24as I remember it,
- 15:27Anna and I got back from Christmas break,
- 15:30and you had ridden up to the
- 15:33airport with our friend Gavin, and I
- 15:36believe his fiance at the time,
- 15:39maybe m wife. I don't know at what point.
- 15:43I think it was fiance. And
- 15:46we get in Gavin's car, and you're in the
- 15:49seat, and you just have a full eye patch
- 15:52on. Um, and I'm
- 15:55like, well, what in the heck happened?
- 15:57>> Speaker A: Uh, is that the first time you saw me with it?
- 16:02>> Speaker C: I think it was the first time I saw you with the eye patch. Uh,
- 16:05uh, because I knew you had the eye patch, but I don't think I ever saw it or
- 16:08that I.
- 16:08>> Speaker A: Had the eye thing, at least.
- 16:09>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 16:10>> Speaker C: So tell us however much information you
- 16:13want about maybe like, a public
- 16:15service announcement about contact lenses.
- 16:18>> Speaker A: Public service announcement? Yeah. They're meant to be
- 16:21used with contact solution and not tap water.
- 16:23>> Speaker B: Yeah, is the long story.
- 16:26>> Speaker C: I don't necessarily want to get into what you did, because that's
- 16:29your business, but I do want to get into the
- 16:31treatment.
- 16:32>> Speaker A: Oh, the treatment?
- 16:33>> Speaker C: Yes, the treatment.
- 16:35>> Speaker A: Because that's a long story.
- 16:37>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 16:39>> Speaker C: Um, um, this is after
- 16:42trips up and down the valley from Salem to
- 16:45Portland to a special eye doctor.
- 16:48And the final treatment to. And
- 16:51correct me if I'm wrong, to eradicate
- 16:54the bacteria from your eye
- 16:57was so good.
- 17:00It's so audible, and I don't plan on
- 17:03changing it. Um, was to
- 17:06put a, uh, contact lens on your eye.
- 17:09>> Speaker A: That wasn't the final treatment.
- 17:11>> Speaker C: I don't know about the final treatment.
- 17:13>> Speaker A: No, you do. You just didn't know it was the final
- 17:15treatment.
- 17:18You want me to start at the.
- 17:19>> Speaker C: Beginning or wherever you want.
- 17:22>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 17:22>> Speaker A: So, long story short, uh, around
- 17:25Christmas time, about a week before Christmas, had been using tap
- 17:28water for contact solution, um, at a
- 17:31house that was quite less than 100%
- 17:33sanitary. Um, for about two
- 17:36weeks, I was doing that. And then on Christmas
- 17:39day when I was in Wenatchee, after I traveled down there to
- 17:42be with my family in central Washington, um, my
- 17:45eye started hurting, and I didn't know why. I figured it was just like an
- 17:48irritant, like my contact had been in too long or something. So it
- 17:51was on Christmas Day, I remember, because we just finished opening up presents, and
- 17:53so I went to bed, and the next morning it was worse. And I was like, oh, that's
- 17:56not good. And so it got worse over that day to the point where it
- 17:59hurt to open my eye. And so the next day, we went
- 18:02to an eye doctor in Wenatchee, and they
- 18:05gave us, like, an irritant little thing to put
- 18:08in it. And over the course of the next four,
- 18:11three or four months, I went to the
- 18:14doctors in Salem trying to get different prescriptions,
- 18:17and they couldn't figure it out. And so then I went up
- 18:20to this guy, up, the specialized eye doctor up in
- 18:22tiger, Oregon, and he was trying a few different
- 18:25things, and he couldn't figure it out. So he sent me all the way up to
- 18:28Ohsu, to the freaking college, where
- 18:31they looked at my eye through this microscope
- 18:34that went on my eye. Uh, and then they
- 18:37found a living parasite
- 18:39in my eye.
- 18:42They use this microscope to look at my eye, and what they found
- 18:45was a living
- 18:48bacteria, aka a parasite,
- 18:50essentially, in my eye, microscopic, but there was a bunch
- 18:53of them. And so, um, the
- 18:56way that they had to counteract this parasite was
- 18:59with, ah, another living culture that they was
- 19:02basically going to eat it in my eye, kill it for me.
- 19:04But in the meantime, my eye had sustained a lot of
- 19:07damage from all the things that they'd
- 19:10been putting in it. And so to help it heal and to protect
- 19:13the eye while it was receiving the treatment, they had
- 19:16developed this, uh, I guess it was
- 19:18fairly new, I don't know, at the
- 19:21time, ah, technology where they used
- 19:24a contact lens that had been
- 19:26made out of a human
- 19:28placenta.
- 19:29>> Speaker C: Yes.
- 19:30>> Speaker A: Aka afterbirth.
- 19:31>> Speaker C: Afterbirth.
- 19:37>> Speaker A: Uh, at this point, I'd probably been, I
- 19:40don't even know how many months into this, and it had been a pain
- 19:43the entire time. But this was one of the most painful things
- 19:46I have ever had happen to me, even to this day.
- 19:50The size of this contacts. So I wear contacts, and that's,
- 19:53uh, how this whole thing started. And they're usually about
- 19:56a little bit smaller than your entire eye. This whole
- 19:59thing, I swear, I don't remember super
- 20:02well what it looked like, but at the time, it looked so big that I could
- 20:05wrap my entire eyeball in it. It was
- 20:08like this big.
- 20:08>> Speaker C: Oh, no, it was huge. What the heck?
- 20:11>> Speaker A: See that on the podcast. But no, it was
- 20:14probably like, I want to say it was like two and a half inches,
- 20:17three inches long. And to
- 20:20get it in, they had to hold.
- 20:22>> Speaker C: The finger size he's holding up is larger than a
- 20:24powerade bottle cap. It was not safe.
- 20:27>> Speaker A: It was huge. They had to open my eye and wedge
- 20:30it up inside of there.
- 20:31>> Speaker C: So great.
- 20:32>> Speaker A: And then wedge it, and they would give me a little numbing thing, but you can't really get like a
- 20:35shot in your eye, so they would give me some numbing.
- 20:38>> Speaker C: You shouldn't do that.
- 20:39>> Speaker A: It was excruciatingly.
- 20:41>> Speaker B: Painful.
- 20:41>> Speaker A: Oh, gosh.
- 20:42>> Speaker C: I didn't realize it was that big.
- 20:43>> Speaker A: No, it hurts so bad. And when they put it in there, I
- 20:46essentially couldn't see anything out of it. It was almost
- 20:48like a shield. It wasn't really a
- 20:51contact lens. I only say that because that's the only thing I can.
- 20:53>> Speaker C: It's like looking through, um, it's like.
- 20:56>> Speaker A: An eye patch that goes in your eye, basically. Gosh.
- 20:59But it had these healing properties to
- 21:02it. But when it's first on your eye, it
- 21:05stings, and there's nothing you can do. You can't grab
- 21:08it or touch it or just take it, sit there and just, uh.
- 21:10Every time you get. So I had to have this done three times.
- 21:13>> Speaker C: I didn't know that either. I thought this was a one.
- 21:16>> Speaker A: No. Every time it happened, I had the guy just leave the room,
- 21:19and I just sat there for about 510 minutes and just tried
- 21:22not to scream. So he'd come back.
- 21:25And after, like, 1015 minutes, it actually felt
- 21:28amazing because my eye had been through so much pain,
- 21:31and it really helped. It shielded it
- 21:34from air and from everything else. And so it felt, like, really nice after
- 21:37it was in. But that initial shoving it in there was
- 21:40just super painful. But the problem is, uh,
- 21:42as you wear it, especially as we're putting the
- 21:45other drops in it, it would deteriorate until eventually it
- 21:48was completely, like, see through. I could see right out of it. So they'd have to take it
- 21:51out and put a new one in. So the thing that was
- 21:54actually killing the parasite was the
- 21:57other counterparasite that they were putting in my. And that was the thing
- 22:00that I had to carry around, uh, in a water bottle on
- 22:02ICE.
- 22:03>> Speaker B: Oh, yes.
- 22:05>> Speaker A: To all my classes. And I had to take it, like, every three or 4
- 22:07hours.
- 22:08>> Speaker C: The magical hydro flask,
- 22:11it had to.
- 22:11>> Speaker A: Stay cool, and I had to take it, like, three or four times a
- 22:14day. My solution to that was
- 22:17carry around a hydro flask, fill it with ICE,
- 22:19and have this little squirt bottle thing
- 22:22inside of it. And every time I pulled it out, the ICE would melt
- 22:25and go everywhere, everywhere
- 22:28in class, and it dropped in my
- 22:31eye.
- 22:32>> Speaker C: Well, I feel like I didn't know that those
- 22:35eyedrops were so crucial.
- 22:36>> Speaker A: That was what actually killed the parasite.
- 22:38>> Speaker C: I thought it was just to keep the thing on your eye wet
- 22:41or something.
- 22:42>> Speaker A: That was the counterpart m
- 22:45the placenta lens.
- 22:46>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 22:47>> Speaker A: That was just to basically keep anything else from
- 22:50interfering with it, uh, and to keep it safe while it healed.
- 22:53Because even after it
- 22:55was dead, um, my eye was
- 22:58still really fragile, and so they wanted to keep it on
- 23:01there. That third one, they wanted to put it on just so that nothing happened to
- 23:04it. It didn't get scratched or anything. And even to this
- 23:07day, my right eye is still, uh,
- 23:10scarred from it. No matter how
- 23:13good of contact lenses I wear, it's always slightly blurry
- 23:15through my right eye.
- 23:16>> Speaker B: Weird.
- 23:17>> Speaker A: Yes. It's permanent damage.
- 23:19>> Speaker C: Wow, man. It's war story.
- 23:22See, kids don't go to college.
- 23:23>> Speaker A: Wait, not the worst part, but one of the worst
- 23:26parts of the whole thing was just walking around with
- 23:29an eye. We love that
- 23:32I look like people
- 23:36wouldn't say things to me, but I know people would say
- 23:39things about me.
- 23:39>> Speaker C: No, a lot of what happened. I'm going to shoot straight with you. A lot of
- 23:42what happened was later people would come to Gavin and I,
- 23:45and, hey, like is, uh.
- 23:48Like, what's up with his, like, it's a
- 23:50long, like. And then depending on who it
- 23:53was, we'd be like, just talk to Austin. He'll tell you about his,
- 23:56um, whole.
- 23:58>> Speaker A: The whole ordeal after my last visit
- 24:01to the doctor was the following November.
- 24:04>> Speaker B: Geez.
- 24:04>> Speaker A: So it started in December. Almost a full year of going to
- 24:07doctors and dealing with this crap.
- 24:10>> Speaker C: That's spooky.
- 24:11>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 24:11>> Speaker A: Some lessons you learn the hard way.
- 24:13>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 24:15>> Speaker A: You're better for it, right? Yeah, maybe.
- 24:17>> Speaker C: Wait.
- 24:18>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 24:19>> Speaker C: So the other thing that I learned, not the hard way,
- 24:22but through firsthand experience, is, and I don't know if
- 24:25this is the technical term for it, but we're going to shoot for it. So,
- 24:28um, it's called
- 24:30odontarufobia. Uh,
- 24:33and I'm probably saying that wrong.
- 24:34>> Speaker A: I suck at all the words fear of teeth or something.
- 24:36>> Speaker C: Uh, well, it's the fear of
- 24:39things going in your mouth, specifically tooth
- 24:42instruments. Okay, now, there's not a fear of
- 24:45brushing teeth, but, um, when we were in college,
- 24:49you would disappear at toothbrushing time like some
- 24:52sort of mystery man. We all go brush our teeth, and
- 24:54Austin's gone, and we just didn't know where you went.
- 24:57>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 24:57>> Speaker C: But then I think it was the next year we found out that
- 25:00you're going to the lobby to brush your teeth.
- 25:03>> Speaker A: I would go to a lot of different places. I, uh, would brush my teeth
- 25:06in the dorm or in the bathroom if it was late and no
- 25:09one was there. But if there was a bunch of people in there and I thought it was going to be
- 25:12a while, I'd sometimes go to the lobby, bathroom, or
- 25:15upstairs.
- 25:17>> Speaker C: When did this start?
- 25:20What is it exactly? You explain it.
- 25:23>> Speaker A: I don't think it's teeth brushing exactly.
- 25:25I think it's just saliva. Okay. I
- 25:28think other people's saliva is just disgusting. And I don't like
- 25:31people seeing my saliva. It's just gross. Uh,
- 25:34I have gotten a lot better at it after getting married.
- 25:37I can brush my teeth with her in the room, but
- 25:40if she is looking at me or something, I'll be like,
- 25:43stop. I still do not
- 25:46want to be anywhere near her when she's brushing her teeth. Like, if
- 25:49she's brushing her teeth, I'll leave.
- 25:50>> Speaker B: We're out of here.
- 25:53>> Speaker A: I don't know. I think it's just, like, gross because all the
- 25:56spit and the bubbles and.
- 26:00Exactly. Um, the worst
- 26:03part is the kids at work spit all the
- 26:06time and they hawk, like, loogies and stuff, and it's so
- 26:09good. And they'll spit in the garbage cans
- 26:11constantly. And that is something that
- 26:14really. I've managed to not let anyone
- 26:17there figure that out about me yet. That's
- 26:20why it's so gross.
- 26:23I don't know.
- 26:24>> Speaker C: Teenagers will feed on that
- 26:27as soon as they figure out what gets you. They're just like, this is the one
- 26:30thing I will exist to do.
- 26:32>> Speaker A: I never knew that was like, uh. I mean, maybe
- 26:35it's a little more extreme with me, but it's
- 26:38nothing I really thought was out of the ordinary until
- 26:42I got to college. Really.
- 26:44>> Speaker C: I think what really did it for us was when
- 26:47you told us, and we were
- 26:49probably much less respectful than your wife is, because
- 26:52when you told us, it was like, oh, so we should go get our
- 26:55toothbrush and brush.
- 26:56>> Speaker A: Your teeth next to me in my bed.
- 26:59>> Speaker C: Corner him while he's in bed and brush
- 27:02our teeth around.
- 27:03>> Speaker A: Amplifies it, too. When there's like, three people and you hear
- 27:06in the m mouth, that's so good,
- 27:09I can't wait.
- 27:11>> Speaker C: Uh, yeah, but I
- 27:13think just to see you physically
- 27:16squirm, it was just unreal.
- 27:18>> Speaker A: It wasn't like, oh, man, I don't like that.
- 27:21>> Speaker C: This is almost causing you, like, mental harm.
- 27:23>> Speaker A: I think I'm learning to curb that a little bit.
- 27:26It's not as bad as it was for a time.
- 27:29>> Speaker C: Yeah, um, perfect.
- 27:32Um, I don't have any
- 27:35other big stories from college, if you have any
- 27:38from that time of your life,
- 27:41specifically bathroom related. Yeah.
- 27:43>> Speaker A: The only one that I remember vividly
- 27:46was, um. You know, I'm going to talk
- 27:49about, um.
- 27:53>> Speaker C: Is it the car?
- 27:54>> Speaker A: No. Okay. It's specifically bathroom.
- 27:59I know what you're talking about, but no, this isn't that so this is me
- 28:02specifically. Uh, there was, like
- 28:05a parent weekend
- 28:08where parents could come down
- 28:10and go to your classes with you,
- 28:13and it's in the fall, and I think
- 28:16they did it every year, but I don't know. But
- 28:19I think it was my. It was either my freshman or sophomore
- 28:22year. It might have even been before we knew each
- 28:25other. I can't remember, but
- 28:28I really can't remember.
- 28:29>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 28:30>> Speaker A: Um, but anyway. Yeah, anyways, it could have been sophomore
- 28:33year anyways, so I
- 28:36like to poop in privacy. I don't like pooping
- 28:39in a room with lots of people. And so I would
- 28:42go down to classrooms, build
- 28:45things, like late at night, and go upstairs into the bathrooms and
- 28:47poop there because it's quiet and there's no one there and I don't have to worry about anyone
- 28:50walking in on me or anything. And so I'd poop all over the place.
- 28:53And there's like two or three bathrooms that are really secluded on campus that I knew about.
- 28:56But, yeah, when I was in a pinch, I would
- 28:59just go in the single person bathroom in the lobby in
- 29:02Davidson because I knew no one could walk in my
- 29:05own. So,
- 29:07um, there's actually, like a few stories about this bathroom,
- 29:10but the biggest one, the worst one for me
- 29:13was when it was that parent
- 29:15teacher conference week. Whatever. It wasn't
- 29:18conference, but college. It was like an orientate. I don't even know
- 29:21what they call it.
- 29:22>> Speaker C: Like a visit weekend.
- 29:23>> Speaker A: Yeah, it's like a family visit weekend or whatever. And so a bunch of people's
- 29:26families were in town, and some
- 29:29of them were on the campus and in the dorms, like
- 29:32seeing their kids at college. And I had to poop really bad.
- 29:35And it was probably like in the middle of the
- 29:37afternoon, like two or 03:00 in the afternoon, and
- 29:40I went out to do my thing normally, and I went to that
- 29:43private bathroom in the door in the lobby,
- 29:46and I went in there and I was in the middle of taking a
- 29:48poop, um, when all of a sudden,
- 29:51um. Should
- 29:54I say his name or.
- 29:56>> Speaker C: We'll fix it later if it's a problem.
- 29:58>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 29:58>> Speaker A: Do you remember Josh? Uh, I think ostring was
- 30:01perfect.
- 30:02>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 30:04>> Speaker A: Josh ostring. Um,
- 30:08he had his grandparents in town, so his grandma
- 30:11and his grandfather were there, and I'm assuming because they
- 30:14were kind of old. Um, they
- 30:17were there in the lobby, apparently.
- 30:19And you know how sometimes you forget
- 30:22to lock a door until it's too late?
- 30:25>> Speaker C: Oh, no.
- 30:26>> Speaker A: So I'm just going to town in
- 30:29there. It stinks really
- 30:32bad. This is bad.
- 30:34And opens up this door, just swings
- 30:37open, like, no knock, nothing. Just, whoo.
- 30:40>> Speaker C: Surprise.
- 30:40>> Speaker A: And there's this, like, 70 year old lady with, like, gray hair,
- 30:43and she just kind of lets out, like, oh.
- 30:46And I didn't know what to do. I was just sitting there like,
- 30:49you've seen it. She's seen it
- 30:52all.
- 30:52>> Speaker C: She didn't run away that quick.
- 30:54>> Speaker A: She closed the door. But the thing is, there's
- 30:57only one way out of that bathroom, and
- 31:00it's right there in the lobby. And I didn't know how many other
- 31:03people saw that or what. And I was so
- 31:06embarrassed. I got up and I locked the door. I finished up in there, but
- 31:09I was terrified to come out because I thought she
- 31:12was still waiting because I figured she had to go. And so I was like, oh, my gosh,
- 31:15she's probably waiting for me to finish out there, and I don't want to see her again ever
- 31:18in my life. And so I went on
- 31:21Facebook and I started messaging everybody
- 31:23I knew. And I was like, I am hiding
- 31:26in the Davidson bathroom, and there's a
- 31:29grandma outside who just saw me pooping. And
- 31:32I need someone's help to distract her. Please help.
- 31:35>> Speaker C: So this is where I've heard of this
- 31:38story.
- 31:41>> Speaker A: I think eventually no one responded. I think I got, like, a
- 31:43few lulls and I was like, yeah, thanks.
- 31:46>> Speaker C: Just laughing at him.
- 31:47>> Speaker A: Eventually, I just opened the door and bolted to the
- 31:50left and straight into the hallway and then ran back to my room.
- 31:53And that was the end of that. But, uh,
- 31:57it was just like that moment. The worst
- 31:59part wasn't even when she walked in. It was me sitting in there trying to
- 32:02figure out how to leave because I figured she
- 32:05seemed like one of those nice old ladies that was going to come up to me and be like, I
- 32:08am so sorry about that. I didn't want
- 32:11that, you know, she wanted to be
- 32:14gone and hide, you.
- 32:15>> Speaker C: Know, if you did, she would be like, I promise I didn't see
- 32:18anything. Which is the worst thing, because that just
- 32:21means that she did.
- 32:22>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah, uh, it was pretty bad.
- 32:24>> Speaker C: Oh, man. No, that's awesome.
- 32:27Man, I wish I would have been.
- 32:30>> Speaker A: Don't.
- 32:31>> Speaker C: I wish I could have been Josh Ostrich's
- 32:34grandfather so that way
- 32:37I could do the triage, uh,
- 32:40with her. You know what?
- 32:42>> Speaker B: Only way.
- 32:43>> Speaker A: The only reason I knew it was them is because I'd seen them with
- 32:46him earlier in the day, like, at one classes.
- 32:48>> Speaker C: And so it was like, uh, visiting.
- 32:51Dude, the only memory I have about visit weekend was
- 32:54Dr. D doing the
- 32:57spiel on song of Solomon,
- 33:00and he walks in and he looks up, and
- 33:03there's just all the parents in the back row, and he,
- 33:07like, he didn't.
- 33:08>> Speaker A: Even know they were there.
- 33:08>> Speaker C: Yeah, well, he realized they were there. He goes, well, today
- 33:11we're talking about sex. And then he just kept going. Just
- 33:14didn't miss a beat. This dude has it.
- 33:17>> Speaker A: You know you're close to retirement when.
- 33:19>> Speaker C: Hey, who knows, man? That guy.
- 33:23It's crazy to think that he used to be, like, in a rock
- 33:25band.
- 33:26>> Speaker A: I didn't even know back in the day.
- 33:27>> Speaker C: Yeah, he used to be, like, a drummer or something. Surprising rock band.
- 33:30>> Speaker A: Yeah, he's wild.
- 33:31>> Speaker C: Um, well,
- 33:36first, uh, do you want to talk about honey jars at
- 33:38all?
- 33:40>> Speaker B: Honey jars?
- 33:43>> Speaker C: You don't have to. No, a simple no
- 33:46will suffice.
- 33:46>> Speaker A: I just don't really like. Honestly, you guys remember
- 33:49more about this than I do.
- 33:50>> Speaker C: Perfect. Then that's all that needs to be said.
- 33:53>> Speaker B: Okay.
- 33:56>> Speaker C: Uh, so any other bathroom
- 33:59stories? I have a few questions that I ask everybody,
- 34:02but they can kind of go rapid fire at the end. If you have any
- 34:05other pertinent bathroom stories about
- 34:08you or your brother. You have a little brother. I'm sure
- 34:11he's got something that he would love for everyone to hear about.
- 34:15>> Speaker A: I was trying to think of some before, but I haven't had too many.
- 34:18Other than things that everyone experiences.
- 34:21>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 34:21>> Speaker C: And I find that people really have
- 34:24one or two traumatic or big bathroom things. And
- 34:27that's it. And everything else is just little sprinklings
- 34:30all over the floor. Um,
- 34:33well, cool. So I have a few questions,
- 34:36um, to ask, and the first is,
- 34:39I can almost verify one. So, what
- 34:41type of toilet paper are you all charming?
- 34:44The big, beautiful bears.
- 34:46>> Speaker A: My wife doesn't care. I do.
- 34:48>> Speaker B: Wow.
- 34:49>> Speaker A: Softest, fluffiest, and it's the best.
- 34:51>> Speaker C: Are you doing the ultra strong red package or blue?
- 34:54>> Speaker A: I don't know if I do that as often.
- 34:57>> Speaker C: He's reaching for it.
- 34:58>> Speaker A: Get the cheapest one, so probably not, but that is a thick. As
- 35:01long as it's charmin.
- 35:02>> Speaker C: My goodness, that's a thick roll.
- 35:04>> Speaker A: I always get the charmin.
- 35:05>> Speaker C: Yeah, the big, beautiful bears. Um,
- 35:08well, hey, he's a charmin man. He knows what
- 35:11he likes.
- 35:12>> Speaker A: Um, I also know it takes more than four
- 35:14squares. Is that your.
- 35:16>> Speaker C: That's. Well, I'm
- 35:19on record saying three squares.
- 35:21>> Speaker A: Three squares. That's crazy.
- 35:22>> Speaker C: Especially with that. That stuff's thick.
- 35:24>> Speaker A: Yeah, but what, do you fold it?
- 35:26>> Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
- 35:27>> Speaker A: I'm not a folder.
- 35:28>> Speaker C: Oh, perfect. Go ahead. Tell us how you do it. You'll save
- 35:31me a question.
- 35:33>> Speaker A: If I'm doing it, I just kind of do that.
- 35:36>> Speaker C: Wow, that's a lot of sheet.
- 35:37>> Speaker A: I crinkle it and then.
- 35:38>> Speaker C: Sweet.
- 35:39>> Speaker A: Sometimes I'll make, like a nice little. There you go.
- 35:42>> Speaker B: Huh?
- 35:42>> Speaker A: There you go. I used to be a
- 35:45folder, but the problem with that is, I don't know. I feel
- 35:48like my fingers get closer than they need to
- 35:51to the crack, to the
- 35:54hole, to the black hole. I feel
- 35:56like with more toilet paper, there's more of a barrier between my
- 35:59fingers and my
- 36:02pooper.
- 36:02>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 36:03>> Speaker C: You just got to keep things centered on it, you know what I mean?
- 36:06>> Speaker A: I guess. I don't know. Either way, I just can't
- 36:08fathom three squares. That's insane to
- 36:11me.
- 36:12>> Speaker C: Well, but it's organized. Three
- 36:15squares.
- 36:15>> Speaker A: One, two, three. Yes, that much.
- 36:18>> Speaker C: And then you fold it.
- 36:20>> Speaker A: You fold it in half nicely again.
- 36:23>> Speaker C: I'm getting a live tutorial of what.
- 36:25>> Speaker B: I do regularly now.
- 36:27>> Speaker C: I will say, if what you did
- 36:30was wet or
- 36:33you feel like there's going to need to be some aggressive
- 36:35happening, you go one or two extra squares.
- 36:38>> Speaker A: I do one or two rolls like that. The
- 36:41first one, uh, it probably is.
- 36:43>> Speaker C: Well, no, but I also wipe like, five to seven
- 36:46times. So five to seven times at three squares of
- 36:48wipe.
- 36:49>> Speaker B: Okay.
- 36:49>> Speaker A: So you don't use the same. Okay.
- 36:51>> Speaker C: Yeah, we're not going hard.
- 36:53>> Speaker A: My dad used to explain how if you're ever lost
- 36:56in the woods, how to wipe with one.
- 36:59>> Speaker B: Yes, absolutely.
- 37:00>> Speaker C: One square. Is this the finger trick?
- 37:03>> Speaker A: Yeah.
- 37:04>> Speaker C: Poke the finger through?
- 37:05>> Speaker A: Uh, yeah, or something like that. Where he said the
- 37:08first thing you do is you save the
- 37:10corners like that.
- 37:12>> Speaker C: Interesting.
- 37:15>> Speaker A: And so you take off all the little corners. And then
- 37:17after that, you basically put your finger through.
- 37:19>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 37:20>> Speaker C: This is it.
- 37:20>> Speaker A: This is wipe it around. And then you just dig around in
- 37:23there. And then you use these.
- 37:24>> Speaker C: Root around in your skew, clean off.
- 37:26>> Speaker B: Whatever you got on your fingers. Yeah.
- 37:29>> Speaker A: Never tried it. Never want to. Um, I think I would just
- 37:32wait till I find a bathroom.
- 37:33>> Speaker C: I have not tried that, but I think I might just for posterity's
- 37:36sake in the show.
- 37:38>> Speaker A: Uh, try it.
- 37:39>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 37:40>> Speaker C: Would be the first thing I've tried for this show. I'm
- 37:43sitting in your bathroom right now.
- 37:44>> Speaker A: Some questions I don't need to know the answer to. But if you
- 37:47do, that's. Some people do. That's great. If I
- 37:50can get the answer from you, that's even better.
- 37:53>> Speaker C: Perfect.
- 37:53>> Speaker A: I happen to do it myself.
- 37:54>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 37:55>> Speaker C: And that's really 90% of the time. That's what this
- 37:58show is all about. So,
- 38:01again, just a quick visual check, but
- 38:04are you a bar soap or.
- 38:05>> Speaker A: A liquid soap, lad? Liquid soap. Liquid soap.
- 38:08Perfect. I work at prison.
- 38:12>> Speaker C: I don't understand the reference.
- 38:14>> Speaker A: You don't understand the reference? Well, no. Don't, uh, go to
- 38:17prison.
- 38:18>> Speaker C: I refuse. I wouldn't do well in
- 38:20prison.
- 38:21>> Speaker A: Wait.
- 38:23>> Speaker C: Yeah, there's no pokemon go in prison.
- 38:26>> Speaker A: And I don't think anyone does well in prison.
- 38:28>> Speaker C: Oh, some people do pretty well.
- 38:30>> Speaker A: I, uh, think people get used to it. I don't know if they
- 38:32do well, they do somebody.
- 38:37>> Speaker C: Wow. What's your opinion on
- 38:40baths? How are you on baths?
- 38:41>> Speaker A: I love baths. I take more baths than my wife.
- 38:45>> Speaker C: You're going to have to run me through your process here.
- 38:48Um, so will you just
- 38:51come in and declovee
- 38:54and write into the bath? Are you good
- 38:57with that?
- 38:57>> Speaker A: Pretty much, yeah.
- 38:58>> Speaker C: That doesn't give you any anxiety?
- 39:00>> Speaker A: Anxiety?
- 39:00>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 39:01>> Speaker A: Why would that give me anxiety?
- 39:02>> Speaker C: Well, for me, and I've
- 39:05shared here, uh,
- 39:07I do not do baths.
- 39:09>> Speaker A: What?
- 39:10>> Speaker C: Why? Because you're like your own
- 39:12human stew. Like, you're just kind of sitting in.
- 39:15>> Speaker A: Your own wet marinate.
- 39:16>> Speaker C: Yeah. That's bad.
- 39:19>> Speaker A: You're okay with wiping with one finger?
- 39:21>> Speaker B: No.
- 39:21>> Speaker A: You have a problem with sitting?
- 39:25>> Speaker C: I'm okay with trying to wipe with one
- 39:27finger.
- 39:28>> Speaker A: I will say that I don't usually use baths as
- 39:31the prime form of cleaning myself.
- 39:33>> Speaker C: Right.
- 39:34>> Speaker A: Like, if I take a bath, especially if it's. I don't usually
- 39:37take them in the morning. So if I do take a bath, it's
- 39:39usually, like, when I get home from work and
- 39:42I'm tired and I just want to sit and
- 39:45relax. Yeah. Um, my wife
- 39:48has gotten lots of bath salts and stuff
- 39:51from. Or, like,
- 39:53um, the bath bombs. I love the bath bombs. But she never takes
- 39:56baths, ever. I don't know
- 39:59that she's ever taken more than one or two that
- 40:02I've been aware of since we've been married. And so we had
- 40:05all these stuff that we got from our wedding and from
- 40:08birthdays and whatever before my family
- 40:10really knew that she didn't take baths. And so I've used
- 40:13almost all of it. Uh, we don't have any left. I've
- 40:16used it all. Oh, my God. I'll pour the
- 40:19salts in and use the bath bomb. And
- 40:22I've told her, too, like, hey, if you want to get me a present for
- 40:25Christmas, like a cheap stocking.
- 40:26>> Speaker C: Stuffer thing, you're just going hard.
- 40:28>> Speaker A: Give me a bath bomb.
- 40:28>> Speaker C: I love baths.
- 40:33>> Speaker A: The more of that stuff you put in there, too. The more you can kind of trick yourself into
- 40:36thinking that you're in some kind of cleansing.
- 40:38>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 40:39>> Speaker C: Instead of the key modifier being
- 40:42trick myself. Um, no. Hey, good for you.
- 40:45>> Speaker A: Uh, which is funny, though, because she likes hot tubs, and
- 40:48I don't really like hot tubs.
- 40:49>> Speaker B: Oh.
- 40:49>> Speaker C: See, I'm all good on hot tubs because the water is moving.
- 40:52>> Speaker A: Yeah. The cleanliness part isn't the part
- 40:55about it that gets me. It's too hot. I sit in there
- 40:58and I'm sweaty, and I just don't enjoy
- 41:01it because it's too hot. It's too warm.
- 41:03>> Speaker C: Yeah, I get that. That's fair.
- 41:05>> Speaker A: God wants in a pool.
- 41:07>> Speaker C: Yeah, pools are fine. Except for
- 41:10you could get cryptosporidium and it's
- 41:13fun. Um, whatever. Uh, so
- 41:16you got any bathroom pet peeves? Anything bathroom
- 41:19related that just drives you absolutely bonkers?
- 41:21>> Speaker B: Yes. Um.
- 41:24>> Speaker C: So I'm just going to go ahead and get ahead of you. Um,
- 41:27he's not on the hook for the next five to
- 41:30six minutes. All right. Um, I forced him to
- 41:33say this.
- 41:33>> Speaker A: Something actually, to my wife's credit. Um, she,
- 41:37I didn't think would ever stop doing this, and she pretty much has stopped
- 41:39completely.
- 41:40>> Speaker B: Perfect.
- 41:40>> Speaker A: My mom did this. I think anyone who's lived in a house with
- 41:43a woman of any kind has probably experienced this.
- 41:45>> Speaker C: I know what's coming.
- 41:46>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 41:46>> Speaker A: The hair on the shower. Ding, ding, ding.
- 41:49Shower wall.
- 41:50>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 41:51>> Speaker C: Circle gets the square. I don't understand this.
- 41:53>> Speaker A: My sister used to do it. My mom used to do it. And
- 41:57as soon as we were here, I saw them. They
- 41:59appear. You get in there for the shower, and they're just on the wall.
- 42:02And I told her, that is one of my biggest pet peeves, and I can't stand
- 42:05it. And I don't even remember the last time I saw
- 42:08one. I don't know if she wipes them down now or what she does,
- 42:11but they're gone.
- 42:12>> Speaker C: I've watched my wife's trick, and you just kind
- 42:15of take the finger and swirl and it creates just a
- 42:18little, like, hair nugget, and you just throw it away.
- 42:21>> Speaker A: Oh, really?
- 42:22>> Speaker C: Yeah, that's the trick I've witnessed.
- 42:24>> Speaker A: Um, that's one thing I really appreciate about her.
- 42:28That was one of those things I expected that I was just going to live with for the rest of my
- 42:31life. Yeah, the little hairs on the sharp bit.
- 42:34>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 42:34>> Speaker C: So do you all fight over which way the toilet paper faces
- 42:37here?
- 42:37>> Speaker B: No.
- 42:38>> Speaker A: We both know that it goes.
- 42:40>> Speaker C: You both feel that? That's right.
- 42:41>> Speaker A: We both know that's right.
- 42:42>> Speaker B: Okay. Uh-huh.
- 42:44>> Speaker A: You're not underneath, are you?
- 42:45>> Speaker C: Uh, I am convinced it doesn't matter.
- 42:48>> Speaker A: I'm convinced you're wrong. Well,
- 42:51it goes over the top.
- 42:55>> Speaker C: We can't settle this now.
- 42:59Um, so just the hair
- 43:02and the toothbrushing. But you know
- 43:05that.
- 43:08>> Speaker A: I can really think of pet peeves. I'm
- 43:11assuming you mean things that other people
- 43:14do in the bathroom.
- 43:15>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 43:15>> Speaker C: Or you. That you're like, I wish I could change public
- 43:18bathrooms.
- 43:19>> Speaker A: There's plenty of pet. Yes. I don't get people who
- 43:22graffiti sometimes to read,
- 43:25but, uh, especially at my
- 43:27work. It's like, you live here.
- 43:30Why are you guys making your own bathroom look like a
- 43:33pig style? It makes no sense to me. I don't
- 43:36know. Uh, or people who carve into the glass
- 43:39on, like, a public restroom.
- 43:41>> Speaker C: That's annoying.
- 43:41>> Speaker A: Yeah, that annoys me. Or people who just throw
- 43:44stuff like you walk into a restroom, there's just, like, an entire
- 43:47roll of toilet paper on the ground.
- 43:49>> Speaker B: Why?
- 43:50>> Speaker C: My favorite is when you walk in and the
- 43:52pointless potty seat covers. They've
- 43:55pulled one, but they got the whole package out and it's all over the
- 43:58floor.
- 43:59>> Speaker B: Come on.
- 43:59>> Speaker A: Yeah, thanks for ruining that for anyone else. I don't
- 44:02use those, though.
- 44:03>> Speaker C: Uh, I don't either. No, I can't figure them out.
- 44:06>> Speaker A: Yeah, I used to be sensitive about that, but then I was just
- 44:09like, well, now if there's any liquid on
- 44:12the seat, I've even got to the point where I'll just wipe it off.
- 44:14>> Speaker B: And sit on it.
- 44:16>> Speaker A: I used to look for a clean one, but I was like, whatever the.
- 44:19>> Speaker C: Seat covers thing is, like, every time I put one down,
- 44:22I can't get the flap to go the right way. And I'll go in the
- 44:25front, and then it gets in the water, and then when I
- 44:28shift to wipe, it just falls in. Yeah,
- 44:31but if I put it in the back, the poop hits.
- 44:33>> Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I hate that.
- 44:34>> Speaker A: When you're trying to move around or you stand up for something, and then
- 44:37now that it's, like, covering your butt,
- 44:40it's a mess.
- 44:40>> Speaker C: It's just not worth it.
- 44:42>> Speaker A: Um, and I think it's funny, too, that places
- 44:44will be so quick to have those for
- 44:47you to protect your butt. And
- 44:50yet there's no way of opening the door without
- 44:53using your hands. And I guarantee you there's a million more germs on
- 44:55that door handle than you're going to get on your butt.
- 44:59>> Speaker C: M. Yeah, the toilet seat
- 45:01is definitely not the worst culprit for the bathroom. I'm pretty sure, like,
- 45:04sink surfaces.
- 45:06>> Speaker A: Your own phone. Your own phone is like.
- 45:08>> Speaker B: Yes.
- 45:08>> Speaker A: Most people do not clean their phones on a regular basis.
- 45:11>> Speaker C: I regularly, once a week, just lick the surface of my phone
- 45:14just to keep your.
- 45:19Who needs vaccines?
- 45:20>> Speaker B: No. Um.
- 45:22>> Speaker C: You'Re good. Uh, what food establishment messes you
- 45:25up the worst? Like, just does you dirty?
- 45:28>> Speaker B: Um.
- 45:30>> Speaker A: Probably, um, any kind of thai food. I do not really
- 45:33like thai food. Anything with, like, curry or, like, spicy stuff.
- 45:36Curry? I don't like eating anything that's hot or
- 45:39spicy or sour, for that matter. I just don't
- 45:42really do that stuff. But honestly, I can eat
- 45:44fast food, Taco Bell, McDonald's, any of it. It
- 45:47doesn't really affect me.
- 45:48>> Speaker C: So thai food, huh?
- 45:49>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 45:49>> Speaker A: I mean, stuff gives me gas, like
- 45:52fight beans or broccoli or
- 45:54whatever.
- 45:55>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 45:55>> Speaker A: But I have a pretty tough stomach.
- 45:58>> Speaker B: I feel like.
- 45:59>> Speaker C: Yeah, hey, that's the way to, um.
- 46:02So when. I don't know if you were aware of this, but when we were in
- 46:05college, um, I don't know if you remember Matt Gibson. You
- 46:08remember him? M he was one of the ping pong golf ball guys
- 46:11down the hall with all the cinder blocks.
- 46:12>> Speaker B: Okay.
- 46:12>> Speaker C: Remember that? Um, he came up, or probably didn't
- 46:15come up with, but he taught me about the dark shower.
- 46:19Um, have you ever taken a dark shower?
- 46:21>> Speaker A: Like a shower in the dark?
- 46:22>> Speaker C: Yeah, shower, lights off.
- 46:24>> Speaker A: Not intentionally.
- 46:26>> Speaker B: Okay.
- 46:27>> Speaker C: Well, uh, it'll change your
- 46:29life.
- 46:30>> Speaker A: Why?
- 46:31>> Speaker C: It's like a sensory deprivation thing. Um,
- 46:35I'm just mostly spreading the good news of the dark shower right now.
- 46:38>> Speaker A: Close your eyes.
- 46:39>> Speaker C: No, it's different. There's something about having your eyes
- 46:42all the way open and not being able to see while you shower. It's just
- 46:45better. Well, so if you
- 46:47haven't done that, um, have you ever tried to eat an orange in
- 46:50the shower or have you ever tried to eat or drink
- 46:53anything in the shower?
- 46:55>> Speaker A: Um, not usually. I mean,
- 46:57I have been eating something, and then we'll
- 47:00put the rest of it in my mouth before I get in.
- 47:02>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 47:05>> Speaker C: So not active?
- 47:06>> Speaker A: No. Mostly just because it'll get my food
- 47:09wet.
- 47:09>> Speaker C: Yeah, but I think the notion
- 47:12is like, something like an orange,
- 47:15you're going to get a mess anyway. You might as well just get in the shower,
- 47:18I guess.
- 47:19>> Speaker A: Yeah. It's never really occurred to me. It's one of those things
- 47:22that.
- 47:22>> Speaker C: There you go.
- 47:23>> Speaker A: I do have a problem with, like, eating on the toilet. I don't get people
- 47:26who do that.
- 47:26>> Speaker C: In one end, out the other.
- 47:27>> Speaker B: Huh?
- 47:28>> Speaker C: No.
- 47:28>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 47:29>> Speaker A: That's weird to me. To eat where you defecate.
- 47:33>> Speaker B: Yeah,
- 47:38but sometimes you have to.
- 47:40>> Speaker A: Sometimes you don't
- 47:42slice pizza.
- 47:43>> Speaker C: You're at youth group. The only place away from all the teens is the bathroom you
- 47:46go in.
- 47:47>> Speaker A: You don't eat pizza with your youth?
- 47:49>> Speaker C: No, I eat it with them. But, like,
- 47:52when you just need a second, eat your pizza in peace.
- 47:55I'm going to go toss one back in the bathroom.
- 47:57>> Speaker A: See, I don't find that. I don't know, I wouldn't be able
- 48:00to. I would
- 48:02feel more peace eating the pizza in front of them than on a toilet.
- 48:05>> Speaker C: Oh, no, it's not an in front of them thing. It's like,
- 48:08can I eat this pizza without some?
- 48:10>> Speaker A: I'd rather have the kid annoy me.
- 48:12>> Speaker C: Shouting yolo in my ear.
- 48:14>> Speaker A: Yeah, I'd still rather have that. Hey,
- 48:17fair enough.
- 48:19>> Speaker C: Have you ever performed a waffle stomp?
- 48:22>> Speaker B: No.
- 48:22>> Speaker A: Uh, but
- 48:26maybe it's kind of on my bucket list.
- 48:29I've always wanted to poop in a urinal. That's like
- 48:32my thing. Hey, I've always wanted to poop in, like, you know,
- 48:34those urinals that, um. Have you ever been to Judson middle
- 48:37school here in Salem?
- 48:40>> Speaker C: Are these like the ground urinals?
- 48:41>> Speaker A: No, they're the ones that kind of look like they're almost like bowls, but
- 48:44they stick out from the.
- 48:47>> Speaker C: Oh, no.
- 48:47>> Speaker A: I don't know. It's almost like a toilet bowl, but it's a urinal and it sticks
- 48:50out really far and you could almost, like, sit on one
- 48:53and poop in it.
- 48:54>> Speaker C: And it's a urinal.
- 48:55>> Speaker A: And it's a urinal. But the only problem is there are no dividers or
- 48:58anything there. Like, they're all just next to each other. So if anyone walks in,
- 49:00also, it's a middle school, you're going to go to
- 49:03jail.
- 49:04>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 49:05>> Speaker A: But I've always thought it would be interesting to
- 49:08try and poop in a year old, but I've,
- 49:11in theory, thought about how it would work to poop in the
- 49:14shower. But I feel like I
- 49:17haven't ever lived in my own place
- 49:20and I feel like if anyone I lived with found out that I did
- 49:23that, they would be less than excited about it.
- 49:27>> Speaker C: They are when they find out. When they find out,
- 49:30all right, they're less than excited.
- 49:32>> Speaker A: I can't say, uh, it's something that I
- 49:35need to do before I die, but maybe if I was
- 49:37ever at a camp.
- 49:40>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 49:41>> Speaker A: And I was with a bunch of weirdos,
- 49:43maybe.
- 49:44>> Speaker C: Yeah. Spirit moves.
- 49:47Yeah. Would you be more inclined to
- 49:50do that or just like, poop and try.
- 49:52>> Speaker A: To catch it and toss it in the toilet.
- 49:53>> Speaker B: That's not happening.
- 49:55>> Speaker A: If I'm going to toss in the toilet, why wouldn't it just go in the
- 49:58first place?
- 50:00>> Speaker C: Because you don't want to get out of the shower all wet.
- 50:03>> Speaker A: I will say that something about how wet
- 50:06poop is affects my desire to touch it.
- 50:09Uh, there's been times where I've been out in the yard, and I've been trying to take care of
- 50:12my dog's poop, and it's been out there for a while. It's all crusty and dry,
- 50:15and I almost just want to pick it up and throw it in the thing because
- 50:18that shovel is, like, on the other side of the yard.
- 50:20>> Speaker C: I'm like, it's so much easier, but.
- 50:21>> Speaker A: When it's wet and it's, like, hot. That's gross.
- 50:24>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 50:25>> Speaker C: Throw. We used to throw cow, uh,
- 50:28turds at each other in high school in just. It was
- 50:31like, pine cone fights, but it was just, like, cow chips. Just.
- 50:34>> Speaker A: I've definitely been over at my friend Seth's house because he
- 50:37lives kind of, like, on a farm almost. They have horses and
- 50:40stuff. I've been over there before and picked up, like, we've had, like,
- 50:43dirt claw fights. Dirt clot. What do
- 50:45you call them? Yeah, the dirt and dirt
- 50:48clot explode.
- 50:49>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 50:50>> Speaker A: Um, we've done that before, and I've picked one up and
- 50:53been like, this is weird. And definitely had it been
- 50:56cow or.
- 50:57>> Speaker C: Horse poop, this is a
- 51:00special dirt claw.
- 51:03>> Speaker A: And I was kind of like, oh, and I had already broken it
- 51:06apart. I was in it, and then
- 51:09just.
- 51:09>> Speaker C: Like, this cap of toothpaste stuff.
- 51:12>> Speaker A: You smelled it?
- 51:12>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 51:13>> Speaker A: Tasted it.
- 51:14>> Speaker C: Get your snoot right. Actually, you can eat.
- 51:17You would not. Well, I won't say you wouldn't, but you're
- 51:19less likely to get sick from cow and
- 51:22horse poop because they eat.
- 51:24>> Speaker A: Plants, really, than your own poop?
- 51:27>> Speaker C: Uh, yes, because the
- 51:29meat, the bacteria, feeds on the
- 51:32proteins. Like, the meat proteins.
- 51:34>> Speaker A: Yeah. I've even heard that drinking your own urine,
- 51:37especially if you drink a lot of water
- 51:39during the day, isn't even that. Because it's, like, 90% water.
- 51:42>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 51:43>> Speaker C: It's supposed to be sterile, but I don't. Go
- 51:46ahead.
- 51:46>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 51:47>> Speaker A: That's not a question you need answered.
- 51:52>> Speaker C: Well, cool. That's all the questions and all the things I
- 51:54have for you. Um, do you have anything
- 51:57that you want to leave folks with or,
- 52:00uh, any parting remarks?
- 52:02>> Speaker A: Yeah, lock the door if you don't want anyone in the building
- 52:05walking in on you.
- 52:06>> Speaker C: Perfect. It's good advice all around.
- 52:10>> Speaker A: I even locked the door here.
- 52:12>> Speaker C: Really?
- 52:13>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 52:13>> Speaker A: It's weird. My wife always gets mad at me because
- 52:16I will poop before I shower.
- 52:19>> Speaker C: Okay, then. You don't, um, unlock in between?
- 52:22>> Speaker A: Yeah, but I just lock doors, like,
- 52:25behind me in general, so I don't even know if that's a bathroom thing. Maybe it's from that.
- 52:28>> Speaker B: I don't know. Yeah.
- 52:29>> Speaker A: Hey, but I go out the door, I lock it. I lock everything. I
- 52:32just lock doors behind me. Uh, that's also part of where I work,
- 52:34too.
- 52:35>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 52:35>> Speaker A: But I will definitely get in here and lock the
- 52:38door, poop, and then forget to unlock it, get in the shower, and then she'll
- 52:41be mad because I need to go use my
- 52:44makeup or whatever.
- 52:46>> Speaker C: I just don't lock bathroom doors
- 52:48ever. Unless it's, like, a stall, and I'll latch the stall.
- 52:51>> Speaker A: But you're waiting for
- 52:54that opportunity to I just traumatize someone's
- 52:57grandma.
- 52:58>> Speaker B: Yeah.
- 52:58>> Speaker C: No, for me, it's like a safety thing. Like, I want
- 53:01to know who the intruder is before they try to kill me.
- 53:04>> Speaker A: I see.
- 53:06>> Speaker C: I can pop it open, and I can get the element of surprise on
- 53:09them. No, I don't know.
- 53:12Well, cool. Well, thank you for letting
- 53:15me set up all my nonsense in your bathroom.
- 53:18>> Speaker A: This is fun.
- 53:18>> Speaker C: And harassing you for.
- 53:19>> Speaker A: Thanks for letting me be part of it.
- 53:21>> Speaker C: Yeah. Um, and thank you all for listening. You get to see
- 53:24the weird, shameful ending that I hate doing.
- 53:28>> Speaker A: You ever watch your dog poop?
- 53:30>> Speaker C: And they have like. They're like,
- 53:33that's how I feel every time I do the ending where I'm like,
- 53:36hey, you should come check out the show. It'll be really
- 53:39great. Send me an email.
