Ep. 56 Oh Crap! It’s Thomas Crapper. · Privycast

0:01
>> Speaker A: There are some words in that sentence that I
0:03
never thought would land in a sentence together, but my goodness, they
0:06
have.
0:12
Welcome back to privy. Privy is a
0:15
podcast about bathrooms recorded
0:18
in my home bathroom. I am your host,
0:21
hunter Hoover, and I love bathrooms.
0:24
Uh, and this week's episode is kind of a
0:27
different one. Uh, it's one of those that has sat
0:30
in, um, hunter's mystery
0:32
notepad file on my
0:35
phone, uh, of topic ideas
0:38
that have just kind of come up, and I stashed this one
0:41
away a long time ago. This is probably one of
0:43
those kind of, like, original list
0:46
privy episodes. And so we're going to visit
0:49
one this week that, uh, yeah, it's
0:52
been on deck for some time, but, uh, before we do, I got
0:55
to say, someone absolutely
0:57
just decimated the toilet paper
1:00
dispenser in the staff bathroom where I work.
1:03
If I didn't know better, I would think somebody was trying to stand
1:06
on this dang thing. And it's not a big one. It's not
1:09
like, one of the big metal ones. It's like one of the small plastic
1:12
ones in contrast to a big metal one.
1:15
But, yeah, it is, like half.
1:18
Well, it was our custodians
1:21
where I work, they're stellar.
1:24
Shout out to the custodial staff. They're awesome.
1:27
Uh, but, yeah, this thing was hanging on by, like,
1:30
two screws one day when you go in. And what's
1:32
interesting is
1:36
you don't realize how
1:38
accustomed you are to pulling toilet
1:41
paper when it is oriented a specific way.
1:44
Because I would say that this thing was,
1:47
if a normal thing of toilet paper is at
1:49
180 line degree, this thing
1:52
was probably at a 45 degree angle,
1:54
and pulling sheet of toilet paper
1:57
off of that was nigh on
2:00
impossible. You're getting, like, one sheet at a time, and
2:03
you don't realize what that struggle is
2:06
going to be like to obtain toilet
2:08
paper until the roll is at an angle, because
2:11
it took me so long to get the paper off the
2:14
roll. And then the other people have
2:17
to be thinking, geez, Hunter is taking a
2:20
triple flush on the. Huh huh? Because he's been in there for a
2:23
bit, when, in actuality, I just can't
2:26
make the toilet paper roll
2:29
function when it is at an angle. And they
2:32
also, like. Also
2:36
they cheap out on toilet paper. They have jank toilet paper.
2:39
It rips off real easy. So
2:41
you can't really get any momentum built
2:44
up on the toilet paper thing. Plus, it's a
2:46
skew. It's just a mess, to tell you the truth about
2:49
it. And then you also. Yeah, it's
2:52
no great. Anyway, welcome to the pod. Uh, and
2:55
in the past.
2:58
Wow, we really crashed into that intro.
3:01
Uh, and now we're going to crash right out of it.
3:04
In the past, we have
3:07
looked at the etymology or the
3:10
background or history of different words
3:13
related to bathrooming, uh, and
3:16
the privy and the potty and things
3:19
that take place and happen and are
3:21
affixed in the bathroom.
3:24
And perhaps an all time favorite.
3:27
Today, we're going to look at another of these
3:29
and perhaps an all time favorite of edgy
3:32
christian teens and tell it how it
3:35
is. Midwestern dads everywhere.
3:38
Here's the word crap. Ah,
3:41
crap. And I think on the surface,
3:44
when people hear the term crap,
3:48
and also if the
3:50
term crap is, I understand that there's, like, a small
3:53
swath of people out there to whom
3:56
the phrase crap is offensive. And if that is the
3:59
case, be warned, you're going to hear the word
4:01
crap a significant amount this episode.
4:04
Uh, I'm not convinced it's a bad word, and
4:07
we're going to see why this episode.
4:10
And I think the surface, when people hear
4:13
crap, the term crap,
4:16
they have heard or think
4:19
of none other than Thomas Crapper
4:22
or as his. Yeah,
4:25
but the past name, the last name,
4:28
and knowing he has something to do with toilets.
4:31
But what does he really have to
4:34
do with a. Our favorite home
4:36
fixture, you. Good old
4:40
toilet right here. Uh, and
4:43
even more importantly, what does he have to do with the word
4:46
crap? Uh, and it
4:49
turns out the answer is both a whole
4:51
lot and very little
4:54
somehow at the same time.
4:57
Thomas Crapper was, first of all,
5:00
and I'm just going to say it, what an unfortunate
5:03
name. Like, thank God this
5:05
kid was not born in the year 2022 of our
5:08
lord, because I watch kids make fun
5:11
and tease kids for the most nonsense
5:14
things. Could you imagine your name being crapper
5:16
and having to be in public high school or middle school
5:19
right now? What a world. I'm sure there's somebody out
5:22
there. If your name's Crapper and you're hearing this, our
5:25
heart goes out to you. Uh,
5:28
but Thomas Crapper was born,
5:31
uh, to a sailor. He, uh, was the son
5:34
of a sailor, which is almost as good as
5:37
a son of a shoemaker, which we talked about last episode.
5:40
Uh, but Thomas Crapper was the son
5:43
of a sailor born in Yorkshire,
5:45
England, in 1836.
5:48
Now, there isn't a lot
5:51
known about his youth, and there's almost
5:54
nothing known about his birth. Uh, all we
5:57
really have is a baptismal record, and they
6:00
often baptized within the first year of life.
6:03
So that's how we're pinning down
6:06
his age. But when Thomas
6:09
turned 16 or 17 years
6:12
old, he went to apprentice as a
6:15
plumber with his older brother, George.
6:18
Thomas learned a trade, and after
6:21
spending his time
6:24
as a journeyman plumber, uh,
6:26
ah, he set himself
6:29
up not just as a tradesman,
6:32
but also as a business person, because
6:35
he went and he set himself up as
6:38
what is called a sanitary
6:41
engineer. Now, this
6:43
is, to best of my knowledge, a person who
6:46
does engineering in the world of
6:49
sanitary and hygiene science and
6:51
technologies. In this
6:54
sanitary engineering position, he used
6:57
his own brass foundry and workshops,
7:01
uh, as well as the skills he gained as a
7:03
journeyman plumber, ah, to
7:06
create and found the Thomas
7:09
Crapper and company in London,
7:12
where he engineered and sold plumbing
7:15
equipment. So Thomas Crapper,
7:18
he was a sanitary, ah, engineer
7:21
who opened up a business and sold plumbing
7:23
equipment. So, so far, we're on track for how Thomas
7:26
Crapper has influenced yeoldi
7:29
porcelain pot. In fact,
7:32
um, Thomas, Mr. Crapper, if you
7:35
will. Uh, that's going to be it. Mr. Crapper has
7:37
got to be the way to go. Uh, he invented,
7:41
and it will turn out,
7:42
reinvented, a number of toilets and
7:45
plumbing parts during his life. And it makes me
7:48
wonder when was the
7:51
last big toilet engineering
7:53
update? Because
7:56
I feel like things have been mostly the
7:59
same for the last 50 plus
8:01
years. I feel like if you rolled back
8:04
into the
8:05
1950s,
8:08
they're using the same basic technology that
8:10
we've got posted up pretty much everywhere right now.
8:13
I mean, I'm sure there's been some updates, but
8:16
no real major breakthroughs. You know what I
8:19
mean? We need a new toilet breakthrough. That's what
8:21
we need. Actually, these breakthroughs are probably one of
8:24
these weird bidets that is like a strap onto your
8:27
toilet. That's probably some new breakthrough thing.
8:30
Who knows? Anyway,
8:33
his, uh, patents that Mr.
8:35
Crapper had include, um, a redesign
8:38
for the s bend plumbing trap.
8:41
Now, the s bend trap was the thing that when your
8:43
toilet leaves your building, uh, it goes through
8:46
the s bend trap. But up until now, it had to have,
8:49
like, a backflow
8:52
and had to be sometimes
8:55
cleaned, and it would get dried out, and it have all
8:58
sorts of weird things that would happen. Um, and so he
9:01
updated it, and this new one was called the ubend
9:03
trap. And we're going to
9:06
probably do a full coverage of
9:09
this because the, uh,
9:13
ubend plumbing trap, uh, may
9:16
have changed indoor plumbing forever,
9:19
but, uh, it's an improvement to the S bend in that
9:22
it didn't require a backflow anymore. But this
9:25
ubend also trapped
9:27
unwanted and toxic
9:29
gas in the actual bend. So once
9:32
you flush it and it goes through all the
9:35
awful gas and harmful toxins and
9:38
things that could come through the air,
9:41
up and out of your toilet, like some sort of creepy
9:44
ghostbusters monster waiting to make you
9:46
smell and possibly get sick, the
9:49
U bend stops that. It's the line of
9:52
defense. The U bend didn't
9:55
dry out, didn't need an overflow. It's one
9:58
of those inventions that you have used and
10:01
interacted with hundreds, if not
10:03
thousands of times, and probably never thought
10:06
twice about it. Mr.
10:08
Crapper also had this thing called
10:11
the valveless waste preventer, which is just
10:14
a fancy way of saying, uh, a
10:17
valveless flush. This mechanism
10:19
existed separate from the toilet. So when
10:22
you turn around, if you're sitting on your toilet, like I am now, and
10:25
you turn around, uh, you've got like a
10:28
tank back here. And that tank is filled with water and
10:30
it's got another friend that Mr. Crapper has invented. We're going
10:33
to talk about him in just a second. But
10:36
this valveless waste preventer
10:39
would take the tank that is on the back of your toilet.
10:42
It would separate it from the toilet and it would lift it up above
10:45
the toilet and attach a chain and the
10:48
whole thing. Um, so that when you pulled the chain, this
10:51
allowed the water to move down, thus flushing your
10:53
toilet. You can see why
10:56
they attached it to the toilet itself.
11:00
Mr. Crapper also invented what was
11:03
called an automatic flushing
11:06
toilet. Now, this one might not be a
11:09
bad thing to try to get revamped.
11:12
Uh, if you have kids or
11:14
around people who regularly forget to flush,
11:17
I don't know how you could. I got dang
11:20
tell you not to forget to flush. Every ten days on these
11:23
episodes. It's literally how
11:26
we say goodbye. So don't forget
11:29
to flush. Um, but this automatic flushing
11:32
toilet, essentially what this thing was, it was a spring
11:35
loaded toilet seat. Now, if you hear that and
11:38
say this, hm, seems like the beginning of
11:41
either a bad
11:43
comic or like some sort of practical
11:46
joke, you'd be right. Because you'd sit
11:49
down, you'd leave your brown, see, it
11:52
rhymes with down. Uh, but then when you stood, the
11:55
spring would push the seat up, triggering the
11:58
flush mechanism. Now. And it would have worked too,
12:01
if it hadn't been for those meddling kids and they're spring loaded.
12:03
Getting stuck. No. Uh, but yeah,
12:06
this spring would get stuck and you would stand up
12:09
and then it would let go too late and it
12:12
would essentially spank the user. So, good.
12:15
So the thing was scrapped because
12:18
it didn't flush like it did flush. But
12:21
people also readily just got smacked in the behind
12:24
by this spring loaded toilet seat. It's pretty great. And I'll
12:27
also say there's probably a market for these nowadays, but
12:30
one's better off not thinking about that.
12:33
Another toilet fixture that hails from Mr.
12:36
Crapper's mind and company
12:38
was what attached to the end of
12:41
that chain thing
12:44
called. It's called the ballcock. Now,
12:46
listen, I didn't name this.
12:49
Thomas Crapper named it. I mean, his
12:52
last name's Crapper, for goodness sake. So
12:54
he invented this thing, and he called it the
12:57
ballcock, which, if you
13:00
don't really get the vowels in that word, you're not really doing
13:03
it right. Ballcock. And the
13:06
ballcock is that bloaty air pocket thing at the end
13:09
of the rod in the top. Wow. Ballcock, bloaty
13:12
air pocket rod. There are
13:15
some words in that sentence that I never
13:18
thought would land in a sentence together, but my goodness, they
13:20
have. But it's the bloaty air pocket
13:23
thing at the end of the spool or rod in the top of your
13:26
toilet that floats on top of the
13:29
water that then refills
13:32
your toilet bowl, but then also cuts
13:35
off when it is full. As the thing floats, it rises
13:38
and it triggers the cutoff mechanism.
13:41
You've seen this. If you've ever looked in the top of a toilet, you've looked at
13:44
a ballcock. Could have called it
13:47
the bladder stop or the floaty pluggy friend.
13:50
Yeah, I'm going with floaty pluggy friend.
13:53
Uh, but anyway, the thing
13:56
is, he invented these things,
13:59
and many of them have been used, and
14:02
many of them, when he invented them, were immediately
14:04
used, and some even invented for use
14:07
outside of the bathroom. They're
14:10
used in factories and other places.
14:13
Mr. Crapper knew he needed to sell
14:16
his goods and patents,
14:18
because besides being an engineer,
14:21
Mr. Crapper was also a savvy
14:24
businessman. One of the ways
14:27
that, uh, Mr. Crapper went about selling
14:30
his toiletries and
14:32
fixtures and whatnot and not
14:35
is he set up the world's very first
14:38
bath toilet and sink showroom in
14:41
Marlboro Road. He got
14:44
his name out there. Uh, and with this
14:47
showcase room, people could
14:50
come and they could sit and they could
14:53
demonstrate and they could demo these products. Now, they're not
14:55
naked and they actually taking their clothes off in the shower,
14:58
but they could come in and sit in the bath with their clothes on
15:01
and feel how it felt. They could sit on the toilet and feel how
15:04
the toilet felt they could flush the toilet and see how
15:07
it flushed. And
15:10
a couple of things here. This choice to
15:13
have these bathroom showrooms
15:16
was viewed as, quote, scandalous as
15:19
people could go and sit and can
15:22
stop and, quote, test the feel. Now,
15:25
uh, it was a different time
15:28
because the fact that this was viewed
15:31
as crass and scandalous. If
15:34
only the folks who are getting on
15:37
their high horse about this could have
15:39
foreseen the Home Depot toilet sections. It's
15:42
just toilets, um, like woofie. And
15:45
you can just sit on all of them in a row if
15:48
you so desire. So imagine
15:51
that this one is probably at
15:54
least likely tastefully done, set up to look
15:57
like a showroom bathroom.
16:01
But a couple things happened with Thomas's
16:03
career. First, as your product
16:07
gets out there and you put your name on
16:09
stuff, people begin to notice
16:12
the name. The Thomas Crapper and company
16:15
had their logo and brand printed all on
16:18
all the brass and metalworks that they
16:21
made. This includes brass
16:23
fixtures for the city, manhole covers, plumbing
16:26
fixtures, et cetera. And when you're in England,
16:29
part of the passive tourist thing to
16:32
look at is you can go look at these manhole covers that still have
16:35
Thomas Crapper and company, uh,
16:38
molded into them.
16:41
As the name got spread, the
16:44
english government got word and
16:47
commissioned, uh, Mr.
16:49
Crapper to, uh,
16:52
supply some plumbing. King Edward
16:55
VI, at the time of the commissioning, he
16:58
was merely Prince Albert Edward
17:01
commissioned Mr. Crapper to
17:04
fix, uh, and supply the plumbing for
17:07
his royal, like, living quarters
17:09
palace. This job
17:12
included 30 bathrooms with
17:15
wood seats and enclosures. Now,
17:21
I know I've said this before,
17:24
and when we talked about the porta potty episode, about
17:26
how og porta potties were probably made out of
17:29
wood, uh, but, man,
17:32
we have got to rethink these wooden toilet
17:35
seats. And I'm sure, like, 99%
17:38
of the time it was fine,
17:41
but then that 1%, when that
17:44
seat just gets a little randy and it's got, like, a
17:47
splinter, you don't want a splinter
17:50
in your butt, and you especially don't want to get a
17:53
splinter in your butt when you're shimmying and moving
17:55
about to try to wipe.
17:58
Stop making wooden seats.
18:01
The reality is, though, they were the norm back then. Heck,
18:04
they had wooden teeth, for goodness sakes. They might as well have wooden
18:07
toilet seats. Hey, if it's good enough for a toilet seat,
18:10
it's good enough for my teeth. Am I right?
18:13
This job, this commissioning from King
18:16
Edward VI
18:19
gave Thomas Crapper his first
18:21
royal warrant. Later, when
18:24
King Eddie became full fledged king, and not just
18:27
prince, gonna be king and I just
18:30
can't wait to be all right.
18:33
He must have liked Crapper's
18:36
work because he commissioned Crapper
18:39
again. He went for it. Round two.
18:42
King George
18:44
V. His son commissioned, uh,
18:47
him both when he was prince and king. Thomas
18:50
Crapper made a
18:53
killing off of the royal family
18:56
by supplying them sweet, sweet chambers
18:59
to leave Brown in.
19:02
Mr. Crapper retired and
19:05
passed the company to his nephew George and
19:07
business partner, Robert Hurham. I'm going to get
19:10
that hurm. Hurham. I'm m going to
19:13
say waram. Thomas Crapper
19:16
later passed away six years later from
19:19
colon cancer. And the Thomas
19:22
Crapper and company lived on, but
19:25
not in the way many would have hoped. Robert
19:28
Huerem's son, Robert Huerem. Which
19:31
man, that makes things confusing. This is why the
19:33
junior senior thing gets real
19:36
confusing, because when I have to type and
19:39
read and say sentences like Robert Waram's
19:42
son, Robert Waram Jr.
19:46
It's difficult on people like me.
19:50
But the second Robert Waram, like, we'll call
19:53
him Waram. The younger,
19:55
uh, retired in 1966
19:58
and in doing so, sold the crapper
20:01
company, and three years later,
20:04
uh, the company was sold
20:06
and liquidated and went out of use.
20:10
Flash forward to
20:13
our modern times. A holding
20:15
company repurchased the Thomas
20:18
Crapper and Company in modernity
20:21
and continues to produce
20:24
historic victorian era bathroom
20:27
fittings alongside its other holdings. Other bathroom
20:29
productions. The current
20:32
Thomas Crapper website boasts
20:35
quality luxury British made
20:37
bathrooms made in Britain from solid brass,
20:40
just like they were in the 18
20:42
hundreds. And if you've ever been
20:45
in a schwanky bathroom,
20:48
I guarantee you they're trying to buy this type stuff. Like, that's the
20:51
clientele for these things. They're very fancy
20:54
looking. And in many of
20:57
Crapper's, uh, old advertisements, he claimed
21:00
to have invented the flush toilet and water
21:03
waste preventer.
21:06
Rather, Thomas Crapper
21:09
and company mostly just made improvements.
21:12
And though there are a number of patents
21:15
awarded, most are for the improvement of
21:17
toilets and toilet fixtures. But
21:20
he was an avid businessman and
21:23
the brand survived him and probably went
21:26
so much farther than he ever intended.
21:29
So much so that for a long time it
21:32
was believed that he, Thomas Crapper, was the inventor
21:35
of the flush toilet. But this is not the case.
21:39
And so we might ask, how did this story
21:42
come to be? How did people come to believe that
21:44
Thomas Crapper was the inventor of the flush
21:47
toilet? It sounds
21:50
like it could be a thing of really misleading marketing.
21:53
But as the tale goes, there were some
21:55
american military servicemen stationed in
21:58
England in World War I. They go to
22:01
the bathroom to leave their
22:04
bathrooming, and they look on the
22:07
fixtures and they see Thomas Crapper and company, that
22:10
old brandings back again, branded on all the
22:13
toilets and cisterns they were using. And
22:16
they began to use the term
22:18
crapper as slang for taking a
22:21
dump, taking a crap.
22:24
But here's the deal. Thomas
22:26
Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet,
22:29
and he isn't the reason for the word crap
22:32
either. The word crap has
22:35
a 15th century tie,
22:37
referring to things that are unwanted
22:40
amongst what is good, such as weeds amongst
22:43
corn crops or residue from rendering food or
22:46
metals. It is likely from
22:49
the middle English use of another word,
22:52
the term crappy or croppy, which sounds
22:55
like crop, food crop, but refers to
22:58
the not good portions of that food crop, which would be
23:01
trodden underfoot, the croppy or
23:04
crappy. This would also often be
23:06
referred to as shaft. It's the parts
23:09
you don't want.
23:12
Likely Thomas Crapper's name
23:14
is at some point either a
23:17
misspelling or a purposeful misspelling,
23:20
uh, of a family name of the
23:23
name cropper. C r o p p r
23:25
p. I said p p p p e r. Likely
23:28
having farmers at some point in the family.
23:32
So it could be said that though the word, quote,
23:35
crap does not come from Thomas Crapper,
23:38
Thomas Crapper's name may derive
23:41
from crap. It was
23:44
not used as a term for defecating until
23:47
1846, and even then it was
23:50
likely used to refer to the stuff in the
23:53
bowl, the crap itself being the thing you
23:56
got rid of but didn't want, rather than making it a
23:59
verb. The toilet itself is not
24:02
referred to as, quote, a crapper
24:04
until the 1930s. The aforementioned, uh,
24:08
american military servicemen story I shared with
24:10
you and all this because
24:13
old Tommy had to leave his name
24:16
on everything he made, and some
24:18
Yankee found it and started calling toilets crappers
24:21
as a joke. And it stuck.
24:24
Thomas Crapper did not invent the term
24:27
crap is not the reason the toilet
24:30
is called a crapper, and he did not
24:32
invent the flush toilet, but he did make
24:35
it better. And some of his improvements
24:38
are still used widely in home and
24:41
industrial plumbing today. But
24:44
as for who invented the flush toilet,
24:47
that's for another episode.
24:50
We've talked a lot about Mr. Crapper and his
24:52
wonderful wares, and I want to
24:55
pivot briefly to a
24:58
brief segment of poo
25:01
in the news.
25:07
This, ah, this segment of poo in the
25:10
news is, uh, the product
25:13
of both the things that pop up on my TikTok
25:16
as well as turns, uh, out.
25:18
CNN had to cover this nonsense. So, um,
25:22
as we've talked about in the past on
25:25
privy, uh, access to public
25:27
bathrooms, free public bathrooms that are clean and good
25:30
to use can be difficult in any place,
25:33
especially large cities. And so there is
25:36
this young lady from New York, uh,
25:38
who, after having a negative
25:41
experience, uh, the article is
25:44
titled the New Yorker is using
25:46
TikTok to document the best public bathrooms in the
25:49
city. And so what happened is
25:53
this New York girl is going
25:55
around sharing TikTok videos about
25:58
public bathrooms throughout New York,
26:01
and she tells this
26:03
story, uh, to the inner viewers
26:06
about how she nearly wet herself trying to
26:09
find a bathroom that she would be comfortable using in New
26:12
York. And I've never been to the
26:15
streets of New York to find a public bathroom, but it seems
26:18
like it could be feasible that it would be difficult.
26:20
She went to a McDonald's where she had to use the restroom,
26:23
but they made her buy a product first, totally within
26:26
their right. And so she began
26:29
to make these videos documenting
26:32
the free and clean bathroom she could use when
26:34
needed, uh, throughout New York
26:37
City. Uh, and essentially what
26:40
happened is, as most things on the Internet, people
26:43
watched it and went, huh, huh, that's interesting. And then
26:46
it just kind of went Kablamo.
26:48
And we began to share, like,
26:51
public door lock codes. Through this,
26:54
people would get the door lock codes to certain places
26:57
and share those. So that way, now you're making
27:00
more bathrooms public. But the problem is those
27:03
companies have door lock codes for a reason.
27:06
Abide by their rules. One of
27:09
the benefits that has happened from this is it
27:12
has caused people, uh, to be a
27:15
little more aware and acutely dialed to
27:18
some of the accessibility problems, uh, not
27:21
just in New York City, but in all sorts of
27:23
cities, when people can't
27:26
afford to pay the money to use the
27:29
toilet and they don't have
27:32
a home to use the toilet in, we now have
27:35
a problem wherein you either have to
27:38
find a different toilet or you can't, and you go boom,
27:41
boom in the streets. This
27:44
nonprofit organization called Clear
27:46
Path, uh, has begun
27:49
through this work and through, uh, these
27:52
efforts to provide resources to homeless
27:55
youth in New York City, also creating a
27:58
spreadsheet of accessible bathrooms.
28:01
It's one of those weird things where somebody
28:04
just makes something kind of short
28:07
and probably for fun, but also just to
28:10
document their experience on the Internet. And people
28:13
gravitate toward it, uh, through shared
28:16
experience. It's a cool thing. Quick little
28:18
story there, new, uh, Yorker using TikTok
28:21
to document the best public bathrooms. And
28:26
if you go on the Internet and you start searching, I promise you,
28:29
because I get the recommendations on
28:31
privycast social all the time. The Internet's
28:34
rife with bathroom review accounts and
28:37
other such things. But anyway, this has been
28:40
another installment of, uh,
28:42
poo in the news. I'm
28:45
going to keep my eyes out when I'm on the
28:48
prowl for those old fashioned looking
28:50
places for the crappy installments,
28:53
if you will. This has
28:57
been, this brings us to another
28:59
end of episode. Thank you so much
29:02
for listening. Uh, we appreciate you being
29:05
here. We would love for you to follow us on social media
29:08
at Privycast. We're on all the social media there. Uh,
29:11
check out what we got going on. Also, send us an
29:14
email, privycast@gmail.com. We'd love
29:17
to hear from you. Uh, send us a word. Send us
29:20
a hello episode suggestion story.
29:23
Whatever you have, we'd love to hear it. Uh, leave us a
29:26
rating or review. Itunes and Spotify has those. The five
29:29
star options are preferred and Spotify is
29:32
easier, but those iTunes reviews, uh, you can
29:34
even leave a little word in there and maybe
29:37
we'll try to read some of those one day here on the pod when we get
29:40
enough built up. As always, we
29:43
would like to thank Kevin McLeod for
29:46

30:19
episode of Privy. Thank you so much for joining us.
30:22
And now, as always, I'm going to put
30:25

30:29
Don't forget to flush.
