>> Speaker A: Hey, hats off to you, chemistry.
0:04
>> Speaker B: Imagine being a chemist, and
0:07
your job for the day is to root around in someone's
0:10
scoot and, like, figure out what
0:12
it's made out of.
0:15
Uh, welcome back to privy. Privy
0:18
is a podcast about bathrooms
0:21
recorded from my home bathroom.
0:24
I am your host, hunter Hoover, and I
0:27
love bathrooms. Thank you so much for
0:30
joining me. Um, here
0:33
in my domicile of, uh,
0:37
know something I realized this week,
0:40
as you've noted, I've shared on the show before,
0:43
I have logged every turd I have
0:45
taken for the past
0:48
about almost two and a half years.
0:51
And I realized something
0:53
as I was looking back on my poop map,
0:57
and that is, I go to the bathroom a lot at
1:00
my house, but it pales in
1:03
comparison to, uh, how often I go to
1:06
the bathroom in other places.
1:09
Um, and this
1:11
week, man, boy howdy, did I
1:14
go to the bathroom in some other places.
1:17
I almost feel like I shouldn't share what
1:20
I did. Um, I might tease it, and then
1:23
let's let it float out there for a few weeks. But
1:26
in short, what you need to know is
1:30
I use the number two. I went number two.
1:33
Um, but I did not go at my home. And,
1:36
uh, I did have an audience, and that's really what you need to
1:38
know. Um, also,
1:43
the young adults crew and I, we went out for
1:46
some red robin. Yum. Um,
1:48
here in all, I don't know if I can talk about this, but a lot of
1:51
people have skipped out on red robin for some time because there
1:54
was maggots in the red robin. There's no maggots. Well,
1:57
I can't say there's none, but it has proven to
2:00
be fewer, if not no maggots in the red robin
2:03
since they, air quotes, dealt with it. Um, but we
2:06
went to red robin, and I
2:09
almost caved into peer pressure, and the peer pressure
2:12
was essentially three
2:15
other blokes in their early
2:17
20s trying to talk me,
2:20
a bloke in my late 20s, early
2:23
30s, I'll never tell, uh,
2:26
into consuming not one, not two, but
2:28
three large root beer
2:31
floats. Now, I had two of them, and after
2:33
two, and my burger and fries,
2:36
I did think my tummy was going to explode.
2:39
It's too much. I think back to the
2:42
days in youth group where when I was in youth group, when
2:45
I was, like, in high school, and you go to little
2:48
Caesars and you could polish off a little Caesars pizza
2:51
by yourself, or you go to McDonald's and you get
2:54
a large sized meal with an extra shake,
2:58
you take that down, and then by the time you get home,
3:01
you might have dinner too. You know what I'm saying?
3:04
Man, we ate some food in high school. I'll tell you what,
3:07
I remember this one time, my budy Josh, we went
3:09
to Denny's. Um,
3:12
this was Denny's of old. This was back before
3:15
Denny's had kind.
3:16
>> Speaker A: Of caved to just the cultural
3:19
whatevers.
3:20
>> Speaker B: But I remember Denny's at the time, they had all you
3:23
could eat pancakes.
3:24
>> Speaker A: For like $6 or $5 or something.
3:26
>> Speaker B: And so we went into, and this Denny's was also a
3:29
truck stop for a lot of the local, um, truckers
3:32
in the area. And that was, they were coming through on the interstate.
3:35
And I remember my budy Josh, we sat down
3:38
and we went for just, he got the all you could
3:41
eat.
3:41
>> Speaker A: Pancakes and they bring the first plate.
3:43
>> Speaker B: Out with like three cakes and it's real good.
3:46
And then you order the refill and they bring you out like two
3:49
cakes and you're sitting here going, okay, I know what's happening
3:52
now. And the cakes are getting gradually smaller. It's as
3:55
if they're passively, aggressively telling you like, hey,
3:57
bud, we're going to keep
4:00
decreasing these until we bring you out like quarter
4:03
sized pancakes and you decide to
4:05
leave. But I remember Josh ordered eight
4:08
pancakes and after eight pancakes they
4:11
cut him off. And I'm sitting here thinking, you know, eight
4:13
pancakes is a lot like, that's a lot of pancakes, but
4:16
it's not that many pancakes. I
4:19
think a lot of people, if they put their heart and soul
4:22
and mind to it, they could consume eight
4:25
pancakes. And my budy Josh, I have no doubt
4:28
this guy could have put down at least ten, but they cut him off at
4:31
eight. And I'm sitting here going, all you can eat. Yeah,
4:33
right. We were there for 2 hours. They
4:36
started making it so slow to bring him new
4:40
think I think Denny's had a conspiracy with those
4:42
pancakes.
4:45
I don't know, that seems like, why would you put
4:48
all you can eat? Why don't you just say, hey, all you can eat limit eight?
4:51
But I assure you they did not.
4:54
Nowadays, I probably would have fought the power a little more on that,
4:57
but uh, yeah,
4:59
the things I care about are a little bit different. For
5:02
instance, you know what I'm rambling at the beginning of the show.
5:05
If nobody cares about this, I'm sorry, but
5:08
a little rant for you here. So, uh, I'm
5:11
employed, um, and
5:15
I am the Venn diagram question mark.
5:18
Who is Hunter? He is in the bubble of
5:21
employed.
5:22
>> Speaker A: And the bubble of receives email
5:24
notifications.
5:25
>> Speaker B: For new Pokemon center merch.
5:28
And so Friday, the Pokemon company
5:31
released two new Pokemon squishmellows. And
5:33
I really want to get my hands on this snorlax squish
5:36
mellow. Um, but
5:39
because I am employed and I do not
5:41
regularly shop online
5:44
while I'm at work, I had to wait till my break
5:47
to check and see if these Pokemon
5:50
squishmellows were available. So the email came at
5:53
1030. I hopped on. It was about
5:56
11:00, maybe a little before, and these
5:58
jokers sold out in under 20
6:01
minutes. That's what I'm hearing. And I'm sitting
6:04
here going, so,
6:07
like, I
6:10
mean, I know the Pokemon company puts them out when they're going to make the most
6:13
money. I get it. You're a business. But like
6:16
the working man and the working woman, um,
6:19
the working child. No, we don't do that here. Uh,
6:21
but these aren't going to be able to get the Pokemon
6:24
squishmellow. It's just not
6:27
fair. I've digressed. Thank
6:30
you for listening. Sorry for my ramblings. Um,
6:33
it's time to get our nose into the topic this
6:36
week here in America.
6:39
Um, where I am, uh, that's where I'm from.
6:42
Leave it to America to bring you a show about
6:44
toilets. Let's get this going here. Let's get this going here. Let's see what we
6:47
got. Oh, polar, uh,
6:50
orange, vanilla polar seltzer. You know, it's good.
6:53
Ooh, ooh,
7:02
man alive, that's good stuff. Have.
7:05
I'm telling you, those orange vanilla polar seltzers
7:08
are it. But here in America. Leave it to America to bring
7:11
you a show about toilets brought to you by America. America.
7:14
Uh, but here in America, every year we
7:17
take an opportunity to culturally appropriate
7:20
mexican culture, and we do
7:23
that through the celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
7:26
Now, you think to, you
7:28
know, with all the concern about
7:31
appropriation and equality and sensitivity,
7:34
you'd think that people would have chilled out and really
7:37
pumped the brakes on this. But
7:41
no, you would be wrong. Why, pray
7:43
tell, do Americans still
7:46
sling Cinco de Mayo on the calendar and
7:49
celebrate this as a day?
7:52
Well, the answer, it seems,
7:55
is folks here in America love to have some
7:58
drinks. And Cinco de Mayo is often
8:01
a holiday associated with going out and getting
8:03
drinks. In short,
8:07
it is a day. So that's what
8:09
we've made it. But we must ask ourselves,
8:12
what is it? Now? If you're like me,
8:18
when asked, what is Cinco de Mayo?
8:21
I honestly, until recently, I had no
8:24
context for I didn't really understand it, but
8:27
Cinco de Mayo is. Ah, first of all, that
8:29
stands for the 5 May. Cinco being
8:32
fifth. De Mayo being
8:35
of May. Um,
8:38
so it's the 5 may, if you didn't
8:41
suss that one out. But it's a
8:44
day celebrated to commemorate when the mexican
8:47
army defeated the
8:49
French at the battle of Puebla
8:52
in 1862.
8:55
Now, what's weird is I always thought
8:58
Cinco de Mayo was a celebration
9:01
of mexican Independence day, but
9:04
that is not the case because
9:06
Mexico was actually declared
9:09
independent 50 years prior
9:11
to the Mexicans defeat of the French at the battle of
9:14
Puebla in 1862.
9:18
It's good stuff. Um, I feel like this is part of history
9:21
that you don't really learn about in history. Um,
9:24
if you ask me about Europe, I could tell you a few
9:26
things about Europe. But as I was doing research for.
9:29
>> Speaker A: This episode I realized we've kind of.
9:32
>> Speaker B: Just glossed over the mexican history and the mexican
9:34
culture in our education. It's kind of stupid. Um,
9:37
because if anything, it's fascinating.
9:41
In the 1960s, Latin Americans
9:44
began to celebrate Cinco de Mayo
9:47
to commemorate their identification
9:50
with the indigenous Mexicans and their
9:53
victory over the european invaders,
9:56
the conquistadors. Conquistadors?
9:59
That sounds like a stupid Power Rangers
10:01
villain.
10:04
I mean, I feel like all Power Rangers villains are kind of
10:07
stupid. Power Rangers is stupid. Um,
10:10
if you like Power Rangers, I'm sorry,
10:12
but in my opinion, Power Rangers
10:15
are just kind of dumb.
10:18
The action's too slow for me to think it's that
10:21
cool. Like, when I watch Power
10:24
Rangers, all I can think of is this is
10:27
like when
10:29
not Nickelodeon made that, not avatar,
10:32
the last Airbender movie. And it was really stupid
10:35
and bad because their bending kung fu
10:38
moves were so slow. That's
10:41
how I feel about Power Rangers, except for my understanding
10:44
is their kung fu is supposed to be that slow in Power Rangers. I don't
10:47
understand it. But these Latin
10:50
Americans started to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
10:53
Uh, to, uh, identify and
10:56
show that they identified with the indigenous
10:58
Mexicans and the victories they had had in the
11:01
past over their invaders
11:04
to a culture that was living in America often
11:06
trying to be changed by the Americans
11:09
around them. They started to identify with
11:12
this. They began to hold
11:15
observances that celebrated and
11:18
highlighted mexican cultures.
11:21
It started as identification with
11:24
indigenous mexican victory over incoming
11:26
settlers. And that's why I find
11:29
it fascinating that
11:32
Americans at large, I'm not hispanic. I am
11:35
not Latina or Latino. I probably got the wrong one in
11:37
there somewhere. But I'm none of those things. I am
11:40
el Gringo. But
11:45
I just find it fascinating that we keep this ball
11:48
rolling. But I'm, for all people
11:51
celebrating whatever they want. But I think some things should be
11:54
harder to get hyped about than others. Or maybe I'm
11:56
not the one, like, imagine if I got imagine.
11:59
I guess we do put quans on the. That ain't my thing either. I
12:02
don't know. I'm rambling.
12:06
But what's also ironic is for many Mexicans,
12:10
they don't do a whole lot of to celebrate the
12:13
day. I, uh, don't
12:16
know. I shouldn't speak for them. But as I research
12:19
and ask around,
12:21
it isn't really a holiday. It's usually just business as
12:24
usual. What's also ironic
12:27
is there's not a lot of, uh.
12:30
It very much seems like an american holiday
12:33
on behalf of the
12:36
mexican people. Originated from the Latino
12:39
culture, Latina,
12:42
latin cultures, I don't know.
12:45
Look at the white guy from Montana. Try to figure out how
12:48
to talk about these things. But
12:50
what I do know is, as I've looked these things up, is
12:53
that mexican history is rich. And the
12:56
native mexican peoples and people groups were
12:59
diverse. There were a number of
13:02
very well known native mexican people.
13:05
The oldest of these people groups are
13:08
the Olmecs, um, after
13:11
them. It is believed that the Mayans and these lasted
13:14
some time, and these were credited for being the
13:17
most well known, uh, uh, in many ways,
13:20
them and the Aztecs, the Mayans are most well known
13:23
for that fun calendar that said that everything was going to end in
13:26
2012. Uh, next was
13:29
the towacin.
13:32
I'm sorry if I'm butchering these, um, I'm
13:34
doing my best tot Hawaiian,
13:37
which is a large
13:40
residential gather. It's again like a city with an estimated
13:43
200,000 inhabitants. The
13:46
Toltec, uh, culture was
13:49
next, and this eventually gave rise to the aztec
13:52
cultures, which were present in the 13 to 15
13:55
hundreds. Now, the
13:57
Aztecs formed an
14:00
empire, and it was an empire
14:02
that centered on human sacrifice. They
14:05
appeased many of their deities through the offering of human
14:08
blood. At the height of the aztec
14:11
empire, there were over 10 million people who
14:14
were ruled over by a wealthy elite of
14:17
350,000.
14:21
This was based on a system of offering
14:23
tribute. The capital of the
14:26
aztec empire was Mexico,
14:28
Tenochtitlan. I think that's right.
14:30
Which is a place, essentially, where m modern day
14:33
Mexico city is, which is, I believe, the capital of
14:36
Mexico today. In the early 15 hundreds,
14:39
Europeans arrived in Mexico,
14:42
originally off of spanish
14:44
shipwreck and later in the form
14:47
of the conquistadors in
14:50
1517, Fernando
14:52
Hernandez met conflict with the mayan
14:55
people. It was the first
14:57
encounter of white Europeans that would
15:00
begin an over 300 year conflict.
15:04
In 1521, Tinoctitlan fell
15:07
to the spanish conquistadors, and this
15:09
began a 300 year
15:12
colonial rule of the indigenous Mexicans.
15:15
Now, if you do
15:17
math, if you do math, that
15:20
300 years, it is not until the end of
15:23
that 300 years that the mexican people
15:25
gain their independence. Now,
15:29
I don't want to dwell too long on the time of
15:31
the spanish conquest, but, like, 300 years
15:34
is a long time. During
15:37
this time, indigenous Mexicans struggled to
15:40
exist as a people. And goodness knows,
15:43
there are real history podcasts that could do
15:46
this time period a lot more justice. Go seek those
15:49
out, if you will. But
15:52
they really underwent two different empires.
15:55
And during the second mexican empire, the
15:57
country was invaded by France. And
16:00
on May 5, 1862,
16:03
the mexican army had one of its early defeats
16:06
of France, which is the
16:09
commemoration of Cinco de Mayo.
16:13
Now, though this was the first mexican
16:16
victory over the french people, the conflict in
16:19
the campaign would last another ten to 15 years until the
16:22
republic was restored. The
16:24
ensuing history of Mexico is characterized by
16:27
turmoil, dictatorship, and, at times,
16:30
unrest. In modernity, they have
16:33
elected presidents, but things
16:36
at times seem outside
16:38
of these presidents's control.
16:42
Now, I don't want to go on too much about this,
16:45
because we got to talk about bathrooms. For goodness
16:48
sakes, we're over 15 minutes in, and Hunter hasn't even said one thing
16:51
about a bathroom, except for he teased me with that.
16:54
He went to the bathroom thing at the beginning.
16:57
You'll have to wait. But
17:00
to talk about bathrooms this week, I want to back up
17:03
into mexican history and talk about the
17:05
mayan empire. Now
17:08
for centuries, when it comes to
17:11
mexican infrastructure and their
17:14
water and sewer and all of
17:17
those things, it is believed that
17:20
the spanish people introduced running water
17:22
to Mexico. But in
17:25
1999, when archaeologists were doing a
17:28
map survey of the region of Polenque,
17:32
I don't know,
17:35
they noticed this weird feature, this
17:38
weird, uh, structure, if you will.
17:43
It was like many of the water aqueducts flowing
17:46
beneath Polanc Polanki,
17:49
but this one was different. And so
17:52
another expedition returned seven years later
17:55
with a hydrologist to figure out what in the heck this
17:57
thing was. Now, they
18:00
eventually named this feature the
18:03
Piedris bolus aqueduct.
18:06
It is a spring fed conduit,
18:09
and it flows downhill, uh,
18:12
on the course of about 200ft.
18:14
>> Speaker A: As it approaches the end, and
18:17
as.
18:17
>> Speaker B: It moves down this tunnel,
18:20
the end narrows to a smaller
18:23
opening. The combination of this
18:26
downward movement of the water. And the
18:29
narrowing of the tunnel itself.
18:32
Creates water pressure as it exits the
18:35
feature. The mayan people were able to
18:38
build.
18:38
>> Speaker A: A barrier for the end opening that.
18:40
>> Speaker B: They could close, stopping the water's flow. And the pressure,
18:43
however, would not knock it down. As the air being cut
18:46
off would keep it from doing so. In short,
18:49
the mayan people kind of created a large, spring
18:52
fed underground faucet of sorts.
18:55
And those pesky Spaniards thought they had done it
18:58
first. Not likely. Now, while the
19:01
Mayans had an extensive system. For
19:03
irrigation to water, crops and
19:06
other household use, this system of
19:09
closed off, pressurized water. Could hold up to
19:12
68,000 liters of water.
19:15
To give you perspective, that's about how much g
19:17
fuel those twitch streamers consume in a week.
19:20
Playing warthone call of Duty war zone.
19:23
What's up, guys? Snipers
19:26
on your left. But, like, that's a lot
19:29
of g. No. Uh, but that's a lot of 60,000
19:31
liters is how much this tunnel could hold.
19:35
It's a lot. It's a big tunnel.
19:39
It is also believed that the Mayans hooked this
19:41
pressurized system. To something that would have
19:44
been like a fountain. Where they could turn it on and have
19:47
running water. This could be
19:49
gathered to be used for
19:53
bathing or home use by the people. Think of it like a
19:55
public faucet. Not a well, but like a
19:58
public faucet. One
20:01
archaeologist and anthropologist Kirk French
20:04
says that these fountains would have been
20:06
intricate like, most of what the.
20:09
>> Speaker A: You know, I gotta say this, and.
20:11
>> Speaker B: I'll try to post some pictures of this. In the privy socials
20:13
and on the privies group. But
20:16
these mayan structures are pretty fascinating.
20:21
Yeah, they did some interesting work here.
20:23
>> Speaker A: Uh, the ancient
20:26
watering spot was also.
20:29
>> Speaker B: Kind of like it was kind of like the fox
20:32
or CNN news of the know. If you wanted to
20:35
know what was going on in the limited scope of
20:38
the world as it is, it was probably limited to their town and the next town
20:41
over. But she went to the fountain.
20:45
Think of it like the
20:48
water cooler. You know, the whole office,
20:51
water cooler gossip thing.
20:55
I don't know very many, uh, offices that ever actually had
20:58
water cooler gossip. You go down there. Hey,
21:01
I heard Tony saw a bunch.
21:02
>> Speaker A: Of people wash up on shore last
21:05
week.
21:05
>> Speaker B: Yeah, it'll probably blow over in a week or so.
21:08
Probably just some wanderers. Hey,
21:11
did you hear Big Doug finished his calendar?
21:14
Yeah.
21:16
Only about 500 more years until the end of the world.
21:19
Uh, probably I'll be gone by then.
21:22
Some people, perhaps the less well
21:25
off of society, may have even bathed in this water
21:28
feature itself, the palace at
21:31
Pollunk also has some
21:33
features.
21:37
>> Speaker A: We are really interested here
21:40
at privy.
21:42
>> Speaker B: Because they resemble ancient toilets.
21:45
These were essentially drain basins that would
21:48
empty into the same spot, and they were all in a
21:51
line. They were the appropriate height for doing one's
21:54
business. Now, I must note, we can't
21:57
prove that these were toilets, but, like, if it
22:00
quacks like a duck and it looks like a duck, it probably
22:03
isn't a pig.
22:05
Imagine you walk in on this.
22:07
>> Speaker A: It's a line of basin shaped features.
22:10
>> Speaker B: With rudimentary stone piping coming out the.
22:12
>> Speaker A: Bottom that empties into the same trough.
22:15
>> Speaker B: The water did not, uh, come up them. You would be left
22:18
to assume a toilet or some type of sink. But why do they have to be
22:21
so close together and at the same time
22:24
separated if it's a sink, they're
22:26
unsure. But I like to think these
22:29
toilets really embody the spirit of
22:32
Cinco de Mayo. Plumbed or semi
22:35
plumbed years before outsiders came in.
22:37
And that's victory. Y'all don't get this
22:41
with the post production edit, but
22:44
I just blew my schnaws so fiercely. Aren't you
22:47
glad that I edit this stuff out? As is
22:50
often the case when it comes to bathrooms and where we
22:53
dump our trash,
22:56
they really serve as a time capsule.
22:59
When you find these ancient spots where people
23:02
took a dump or dumped their
23:05
things, they took, it's
23:08
kind of finding, like a little mini time capsule into their
23:11
lives, except for instead of
23:14
being filled with Tamagotchis, whose batteries have
23:17
exploded inside the device over the years,
23:19
it's just busted housewares, bones, and
23:22
turds. Now, at a
23:24
different mayan site from.
23:27
>> Speaker A: Central Guatemala, mayan ruins
23:30
were found with.
23:31
>> Speaker B: A number of circular pits dug in
23:34
the corner of the home. These pits are
23:37
called,
23:42
which translates essentially into a rock lined
23:45
pit. Often they're carved into the
23:47
natural limestone of the region. And what they found in some of these
23:50
pits is kind of interesting.
23:54
First, they found
23:57
maize starch spherulites,
23:59
which is a very small
24:02
byproduct of a process of nix
24:04
tamilization. In short,
24:08
this is one of the most essential processes involved
24:11
in making and forming tamales,
24:14
in which corn
24:17
products are cooked and then
24:20
steeped in a solution of water and alkaline,
24:23
often calcium hydroxide or food grade
24:26
lime. So they found a bunch of these
24:29
particles in these circular pits in the center of. In the
24:32
corner of a home. And what's interesting
24:35
is this practice also probably
24:37
helped with the smell, because they
24:40
also found human poopy things there
24:45
remember back when we talked about the river tams
24:48
and how it was stinking so hard, they used lime to
24:51
help with that stink? Well, lime is also used
24:54
in soap and other products. And so
24:57
dumping this food grade lime.
25:01
Yeah, this lime into
25:04
this pit might have helped with
25:07
the stink of the pit. Mexico is a hot
25:09
land, and I assume so is
25:11
guatemala. These are
25:14
some dark, dank holes.
25:17
And like I noted, what else they found on there was
25:20
particles from parasites commonly found in
25:23
human feces. Now, lest you
25:26
hear that and think, as I thought, that they were preparing
25:29
their tamales in a toilet, likely
25:32
what they did was they made their tamales
25:35
using this process, and then they had this
25:37
lime alkali salt
25:40
water left over.
25:43
And they used this to either rinse out a piss pot
25:46
or another container with the remaining lime water
25:49
that was left. Let no water
25:52
go unused. Not
25:55
only does this tell us some about the life practices of the
25:58
Mayans, but it is likely one of the earliest
26:00
evidences of
26:03
this specific tamale making process.
26:06
A chemical analysis of the feces. A thing that
26:09
happens a lot when you go digging through old toilets.
26:11
And also something that we talk a lot about
26:14
here.
26:15
>> Speaker A: Hey, hats off to you, chemistry.
26:19
>> Speaker B: Imagine being a chemist, and
26:21
your job for the day is to root around in someone's
26:24
scoot and, like, figure out what
26:27
it's made out of. Really
26:30
get up in there and do some science on that turd.
26:34
What we can learn here is. So
26:37
they did the chemical analysis, and they
26:39
found that the people of this area had a lot
26:42
of stomach trouble. Like, the mayan people probably had
26:45
significant tummy troubles, likely from poor
26:48
drinking water. Diet. All of the
26:51
classics. Poor hygiene. Um, I mean,
26:54
for goodness sakes, they're dumping their crap in the corner pit of the
26:57
house. Uh, but
27:00
that was then. A couple of things we've
27:03
learned. Do not make tamales in the
27:06
toilet, but feel free to use the water to rinse it
27:08
out if you turn a faucet on to
27:11
do so. Remember the
27:14
indigenous Mexicans who went before you to make that
27:17
pressurized water? They figured out before the
27:20
spanish conquistadors arrived.
27:23
This week, I think we can be thankful for
27:25
faucets. I thought to myself,
27:28
Friday night this week, as I took a
27:31
shower, how thankful I am for hot running
27:34
water. Faucets, uh, are
27:37
pretty cool. We can also be thankful for
27:40
tamales. They are delicious. Um,
27:43
this week, I want to be thankful for cinco de
27:45
mayo. Happy, um,
27:48
cinco de mayo, everybody. I hope you
27:51
celebrate. However you can. Remember, um,
27:54
it's not mexican Independence day, but it
27:56
is a remembrance and an identification
27:59
with how the mexican people have
28:02
overcome the challenges of those, uh,
28:05
of the european cultures have put on them.
28:08
I'm also thankful for what we can learn from the bathrooms.
28:11
We go digging around in these things, and we find all sorts of good
28:13
stuff. This brings
28:16
us to the end of another episode of privy.
28:19
Thank you for listening. Uh, if you want to send us an
28:21
email, email us
28:23
privycast@gmail.com. We'd love
28:26
to hear from you. Send us episode suggestions,
28:29
feedback, common concerns. We're working on some
28:31
stuff. We'll be rolling that out here. If you have a story to
28:34
tell or if you want to, um,
28:37
promote.
28:38
>> Speaker A: Your things by going on the show.
28:41
>> Speaker B: With me, let me know. Send me an email there. Uh,
28:43
follow us on social media. We're at Privycast on
28:46
all social medias. I'll note again, we started the
28:49
privy's Facebook group.
28:51
>> Speaker A: That is a little more informal.
28:53
>> Speaker B: Come on in there. Join the group.
28:54
>> Speaker A: Hang out, post some dumb
28:57
bathroom related memes.
28:59
>> Speaker B: Say hi, don't be a stranger.
29:02
Come check us out on the privies. Leave us
29:05
a rating and review. The five star options are preferred. And every
29:08
review you leave us, we.
29:09
>> Speaker A: Will be donating some money to the wounded warriors.
29:12
>> Speaker B: Uh, just as a reminder, the, uh, wounded warriors
29:15
we chose because we keep pooping in a free world. But that free
29:18
world was not always free. And it's just a small
29:21
token of gratitude to those who have fought to make it a little more
29:24
free. Thank you all. Um,
29:27
thank a vet. Do it. Uh, we want to
29:30
thank Kevin McLeod for the use of his music
29:33
this week. Thank you, Kevin. This has been
29:35
another episode of Privy. Thank you guys so much for
29:38
joining us again. Love that you're here. We love you
29:41
guys. Keep pooping in the free world. Wash
29:44
your butthole, and don't
29:46
forget to flush.
