- 0:01>> Hunter Hoover: It ought not to need to be said, but we love toilets here on
- 0:04preview. We're big fans. If we haven't made
- 0:06that clear, like if the premise of this show has
- 0:09escaped you, we're a big fan of Twil.
- 0:17Welcome back to Privy. Privy is
- 0:20a podcast about bathrooms
- 0:22recorded from my home
- 0:24bathroom. I'm your host, Hunter
- 0:27Hoover, and I love bathrooms.
- 0:30Welcome back everyone. I hope you guys are doing well.
- 0:33November has been kind of a weird month
- 0:36in many ways. Uh, we don't need to go into details because
- 0:39I'm, I'm sick of most of the details. But, uh, we
- 0:41had an election. Yeah, do
- 0:44whatever you want with that. I, uh, I'm
- 0:47thrilled. But as we, as we
- 0:50draw to the, to the end of. Of
- 0:52November, we kind of start to dance around
- 0:55that. The Thanksgiving season.
- 0:58And this is one of those
- 1:00rare years where our end
- 1:04of November episode release actually
- 1:07releases prior to November or
- 1:10prior to Thanksgiving. U. Um, and so
- 1:13many of you, if you listen to our
- 1:15episodes when they come out, you have already listened to
- 1:18this episode before your Thanksgiving observances
- 1:21here in the United States. Uh, uh,
- 1:24and so in many ways this episode can serve
- 1:27both as a warning but, and, but also a
- 1:30reminder related to the season. Uh,
- 1:33uh, and in years past,
- 1:36I have detailed and we've gone into
- 1:38specifics about like, the ideal
- 1:41Thanksgiving dinner lineup. Classic sides.
- 1:44Sometimes I'm almost, uh, I would almost
- 1:47prefer. Oops. All sides Thanksgiving
- 1:50dinner. Um, um, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world
- 1:52if we just had an abundance of sides. It'd be totally
- 1:55fine. I'm convinced that Kraft
- 1:58Macaroni and cheese is still one of
- 2:01the most top tier Thanksgiving
- 2:04dishes, not sides dishes that you
- 2:06can provide on a Thanksgiving eve.
- 2:10And the reason I say that is because the kids are loving
- 2:13it. Uh, you know, I'm sure there's
- 2:16a child out there that doesn't like Kraft Macaroni
- 2:19and Cheese, but like,
- 2:23I, I guarantee you that kid spends
- 2:26just copious amounts of minutes on an iPad.
- 2:29Like, you know, kids
- 2:31who touch grass, like Kraft Mac and Cheese.
- 2:34That's facts. That's just facts.
- 2:38But there's a lot of
- 2:41opinions around a, uh, Thanksgiving
- 2:43meal. And I want to acknowledge
- 2:46I am not a fan of many of the
- 2:49traditional Thanksgiving food offerings.
- 2:52I'm really a Meet and Taters type of guy.
- 2:55Uh, uh,
- 2:57and, and it's fine.
- 3:00But boy howdy, uh, and
- 3:03I will note my bathrooming after
- 3:06Thanksgiving does reflect that it's usually
- 3:09unloaded on a bathroom that is not my own.
- 3:12Praise be to he, but it uh,
- 3:16nonetheless, this is also a
- 3:18reminder this Thanksgiving season u uh,
- 3:22to not overdo the Thanksgiving
- 3:24meal. You know, I would say, I would say
- 3:28if you, if you did one fully herbie,
- 3:30fully loaded plate and then one what I like
- 3:33to call round two plate, that's where you visit your
- 3:36favorite portions of the Thanksgiving
- 3:39offering. Uh, in what is the round
- 3:42two plate? And, and you go, you
- 3:45know, you go your Thanksgiving plate, you go your round two plate and then
- 3:48you got to go at least one piece of pie.
- 3:51But I think, I think of all the days
- 3:54of the year health permitted. I
- 3:57think that, that two slices of pie is
- 4:00permitted if you have the room. Now I'm a pumpkin
- 4:03and apple man myself. Uh uh,
- 4:06but really there's no bad pie like
- 4:09everybody, it's just
- 4:12Thanksgiving. If anything, it makes us
- 4:14appreciate pie. But this is
- 4:17a reminder that as we load
- 4:20up plate one and round two
- 4:23plate and double serving of pie and
- 4:25whipped cream because you, that's the other thing. You got to top that
- 4:28joker with some whipped cream. You just have to. But as
- 4:31you do that, you have to remember
- 4:34that what goes in must come out.
- 4:37And Thanksgiving
- 4:39Thursday is followed by not Black
- 4:42Friday, but Brown Friday here on the
- 4:45pod. Brown Friday is colloquially un
- 4:48known as Brown Friday because it's
- 4:51the plumber's busiest day of the year. The year where
- 4:54they're going and unclogging your bog
- 4:57because you thanks giving Ty turkey stuffed,
- 5:00that joker full. It's clogged. They've got to
- 5:03come deal with it. Hence Brown Friday.
- 5:06In years past we've discussed Brown
- 5:09Friday at length and we've gone over some,
- 5:12some top tier lists of
- 5:14Thanksgiving sides and dishes that
- 5:17you can observe this holiday
- 5:20season. And you
- 5:23can consider this your public service
- 5:26announcement and reminder to not overdo
- 5:29it with the plumbing in your home. You might think to yourself,
- 5:32well, you know, I sawg that g pretty
- 5:35bad on a weekly basis. But when you start
- 5:38tacking 10, 20, 30, sometimes
- 5:4040 family members in a two bathroom
- 5:43home, yeah, uh, uh, that
- 5:46toilet is not. That plumbing is not
- 5:49designed for that. You do not have
- 5:51commercial grade plumbing in your house. Like it's just
- 5:54not the way that your house is built. And if it is
- 5:57good for you and you should host Thanksgiving, uh,
- 6:00but when you're two plates of turkey
- 6:03gravy mash taters deep and on your third,
- 6:06maybe third I said two
- 6:09but like you know, you're here, you might as
- 6:12well go third slice of pie for the night,
- 6:15that's not the time to be having toilet
- 6:18panic. That's not the time to be
- 6:21worried about your toilet related to the fact
- 6:24that you have flushed but things have not go
- 6:27down like
- 6:30you got. It's got to go down. It simply
- 6:33must. It is a requirement
- 6:35of of the post Thanksgiving
- 6:38festivities for what you deposited
- 6:41into the throne to go down
- 6:44also. And this need not be said, but I
- 6:47think it does need be said. If we learned anything on
- 6:50our episode from fatbergs last year, go listen
- 6:53to our episode on fatbergs. U uh, don't
- 6:56dump food grease down the toilet. Now I'm
- 6:59guilty of this. I have definitely
- 7:02just, just greased the
- 7:05toilet with food grease
- 7:08and, you know, tried to deposit that way. And
- 7:11I, you know, I think nine times out of 10, you're going toa be okay. The
- 7:14problem is, is the fats and the oils
- 7:17and the such, they, they break. They don't
- 7:20break down. Well when, usually when you're rinsing that
- 7:23stuff down your sink drain, your, your dish
- 7:25soap does a lot to help break down the fats and
- 7:28oils in the food grease to help it
- 7:31skeet and not not fatberg your g so much.
- 7:34U right. But you're going toa clog your whole thing
- 7:37up. Just chill out. Put the food waste
- 7:40in the trash. If you've got liquid food rate food
- 7:43waste, figure out how to deposit it into like, I
- 7:46like to make like a little
- 7:49nest of paper towel. You like a little. Make a little paper towel
- 7:52nest. You dump it down in the little paper towel
- 7:54nest, let the grease live in the nest. You know what I'm saying?
- 7:58And then you just dump it in the trash. I know some people, they dump it in
- 8:01the yard, whatever. I mean, the dog will probably lick it and he'll have
- 8:03diarrhea. But you know, tis the
- 8:06season in the vein of m
- 8:09the season of taking time to be
- 8:12thankful. We are going to take a long
- 8:15overdue stroll to observe
- 8:18this year's World's Toilet Day
- 8:20observances and offerings. We're going to be focusing
- 8:23on America's participation in
- 8:26these ventures. And finally,
- 8:29we are going to, in thankfulness, try to take a moment
- 8:32and think about how things could be if our toilet
- 8:35landscape here, where we live, looked any different.
- 8:42Now, about this time last year, we discussed World
- 8:45Toilet Day on the show as well as the history
- 8:48of where World Toilet Day came from.
- 8:52Yes, sir. Polar seltzer.
- 8:55Ruby red grapefruit. It's a good flavor.
- 8:58Still cannot track down the toasted coconut.
- 9:01Polar seltzer. If you're hearing me, you got to hook somebody
- 9:04up. You know, I'm Not, I'm not saying I
- 9:07accept a case of it, but, uh, but I would. But I
- 9:10would, but World Toilet Day is a day of
- 9:12advocacy and awareness to get people to work
- 9:15towards safe and sanitary
- 9:18access to all people in the world,
- 9:21especially those who may not have access to safe
- 9:24water and, or safe and
- 9:26sanitary waste disposal. Now
- 9:30their goal is to meet this
- 9:33expectation, this, this task all
- 9:36people with safe water and sanitary
- 9:38waste removal by the year 2030.
- 9:41Now that's just shy of little over five
- 9:44years from now. And I'm, I'm,
- 9:47you know, I hate to say it, but I
- 9:50feel like we're a bit off track.
- 9:53Sometimes I read this, I'm gonna be honest with you, sometimes I
- 9:56read this stuff and I think
- 10:01you're asking the wrong people.
- 10:03Like for
- 10:06like 30 seconds before he
- 10:09got sued for like whatever, he got sued
- 10:12for whatever. Unless he didn't. And then
- 10:15I just don't know. Current events and news, I don't keep track
- 10:18of YouTubers, it's too much for me. But
- 10:21before he had his little, his little legal debacle,
- 10:24Mr. Beast was like all over the news. He's like
- 10:27digging wells in Africa and he's helping people
- 10:29like with life changing surgeries here in the
- 10:32United States, whatever. And that's all very good.
- 10:35Recently, I mean, just a month or two ago, Elon
- 10:38Musk caught a rocket out of outer space
- 10:42and then he gave a bunch of people struggling in Appalachia
- 10:45after the hurricanes access to Starlink Internet and it's just
- 10:47like bada Bing. Like,
- 10:50and I feel like if we could get a bunch of these
- 10:53like
- 10:55philanthropists and entrepreneurs
- 10:58and lack of a better term, I,
- 11:01you know, are, uh, soon to be president calls these
- 11:04people our geniuses. If we, if we taske some
- 11:07of our geniuses with solving this
- 11:10bathroom problem, we could get it done in
- 11:13less than five years or at least we would be
- 11:16on track to have it done. And uh, so that's
- 11:18one problem is, is I think, I
- 11:21think we're commissioning the wrong people to
- 11:24accomplish these goals. I think the people that
- 11:27we ought to be commissioning are catching rockets out of
- 11:30space and making just
- 11:32apparently trainloads ofCash on YouTube.
- 11:36But I think the other problem is,
- 11:38and I want you to be honest about this, listener, I, you know,
- 11:41and this is no shade to World Toilet Day. World Toilet Day.
- 11:44If you can hear me, get serious here for a second,
- 11:47this is no shade to you.
- 11:50But listener, if it was not for this
- 11:53show right now, other than this podcast, this
- 11:56episode that you're listening to and possibly the
- 11:59episode that we did covering World Toilet Day last
- 12:02year. Would you have any
- 12:04idea about World Toilet Day? Would you have even known
- 12:07that this was a thing? Unless you're like one of those
- 12:10weird people that gets on
- 12:13Google daily to check the. Oh, what's the weird day of the
- 12:16week? Oh, look at that. It's we Peanut butter and jelly
- 12:19sandwiches is shoes day. Unless you're one of
- 12:22those people, other than this podcast, truly, would you have
- 12:25known about World Toilet Day? Uh, like
- 12:28I know about it because my Google searches
- 12:30have been very much skewed
- 12:33against me at this point. Like they,
- 12:36they exist to yield
- 12:38just the most bizarre
- 12:41bathroom related content, for
- 12:44lack of a better way of saying it. And I'm gonna know they
- 12:47did move the needle a little bit recently. So the
- 12:50trouble is, is like,
- 12:54um, I'm starting to wonder,
- 12:56apart from this, how would, how would we
- 12:59even know about it? They got to do
- 13:02something more to get the word out about World Toilet
- 13:05Bay. For goodness sake. World Toilet day was
- 13:08on November 19th. Watch. I probably even got
- 13:11that wrong. And because I'm recording
- 13:13late, I am recording this episode
- 13:16after World Toilet Day. This episode is
- 13:19releasing nearly a week after World Toilet
- 13:22Day. It's baffling.
- 13:24They, uh. And did you hear anything about it?
- 13:27No, I'm
- 13:30sorry. I heard about it because half of
- 13:32my the Privy Cast social was.
- 13:35Was covered in it. But like,
- 13:39I'm starting to wonder, are they doing something to
- 13:42get the word out? And um, what exactly are they
- 13:44doing to get to work on these things?
- 13:48Because this year the press
- 13:51release announcing World Toilet Day
- 13:53states that there are, quote, 3.5
- 13:56buaa billion people without access
- 13:59to clean sanitation throughout the world
- 14:02and 419 million
- 14:04people who regularly practice open
- 14:07defecation, skeeting it in the wild.
- 14:10And, and that's awful. And that's a very sad thing. Now
- 14:13I'm confident that there's a number of those open
- 14:16defecation number that they do it because they don't know
- 14:19any better. You know, they live in the middle of nowhere. They live in the,
- 14:22in the woods or the wilderness or the jungle. And
- 14:24that's just where everybody poops. Also, open
- 14:27defecation. I don't know if that
- 14:30accounts for those who bury their poop or if that's just
- 14:33like you're skeeting it right outside the door. I.
- 14:36But. But those numbers aren't good. It's a sad thing. I don't want
- 14:39anybody to be without a safe and secure way to deal
- 14:42with their poop. That's almost half the Population
- 14:44that. That doesn't have access to clean
- 14:47sanitation. That's not good. But the trouble
- 14:50is about this is Those, this is
- 14:522024 numbers. Those are the same numbers
- 14:55from 2023 last year. That's the
- 14:58same. Almost the exact same press release.
- 15:01And while that's frustrating, I want to
- 15:03know. They didn't move the needle much in 2022 and
- 15:062022. They said that there was
- 15:093.6 billion without Sanit,
- 15:12sanitary, waste, uh, disposal.
- 15:15Now, uh, a hundred
- 15:18million in a year. That's not nothing. That's very good.
- 15:22But then what happened? Because it doesn't seem like we've
- 15:24moved now. There's been improvement. But
- 15:27as you can hear and as you. As you can
- 15:30tell by this, there is a lot of work
- 15:33to do. And I think the trouble with
- 15:36World Toilet Day is, again, it's
- 15:38good. The idea is good. Getting awareness
- 15:41and building this thing is good.
- 15:45The trouble is, it's just relatively unknown, and
- 15:47it seems to be focusing on raising
- 15:50awareness. And if I've learned
- 15:52anything, making someone
- 15:54aware of something does
- 15:57very little to motivate them or help them
- 16:00take action toward a remedy to the thing
- 16:03that they are aware of. For
- 16:06World Toilet Day this year, they
- 16:09settled on the theme of
- 16:12toilets a place for
- 16:15peace. Not when
- 16:18I'm using it. There's nothing peaceful going
- 16:20on down there in those sessions.
- 16:25And this is the essential message of
- 16:27the United Nations World Toilet Day theme of
- 16:30toilets being a place for peace.
- 16:33Number one,
- 16:38Pol. This is not their number one.
- 16:41But polar seltzer tastes better on the toilet. That's just facts.
- 16:45Toilet shower, uh, in mid mowing your
- 16:48lawn. But toilets are a place for
- 16:51peace. That is because they are
- 16:53essential spaces at the center of our
- 16:56lives that should be safe and
- 16:58secure. They note that for billions of people,
- 17:01sanitation is under threat from conflict,
- 17:04climate change,
- 17:06disasters, and neglect. Number
- 17:09two, toilets are a place
- 17:12for protection.
- 17:15Toilets create a barrier between us
- 17:18and our fat shaz. No in our waste U. Um,
- 17:21sanitation services are essential for the public
- 17:24and environmental health. When
- 17:27toilet systems are inadequate, when they are damaged, or when they are re
- 17:30broken, pollution spreads and deadly
- 17:32diseases get unleashed. Check out.
- 17:35We've talked a lot about cholera on our show. Cholera is
- 17:38not our friend. It is bad news for
- 17:41us. It sogs the whole bog every
- 17:43time. Just, um, stay
- 17:46away from the cholera.
- 17:49Third, toilets are a place for
- 17:52progress. Sanitation is a human right.
- 17:55It protects everyone's dignity, especially transforms
- 17:58the lives of women and girls. It's a little bit
- 18:01sexist. More investment and better
- 18:04governance of sanitation are crucial for A fair, more
- 18:07peaceful world. Now,
- 18:12it ought not to need to be said, but we love toilets here
- 18:15on preview. We're big fans. If we haven't made
- 18:18that clear, like, if the premise of this show has
- 18:21escaped you, we're a big fan of toilets. Um,
- 18:24this show is founded and has its
- 18:26beginnings in being thankful
- 18:29for toilets. But listen,
- 18:32World Toilet Day, listen to me,
- 18:36it's still a toilet. Like
- 18:39to say, toilets are a place of peace and protection
- 18:41and progress. I get what you mean and I get
- 18:44your alliteration. You had to go for the three P's, the pp.
- 18:47You know what I'm saying? Ppp. Uh,
- 18:50but for many people, the
- 18:53jump from getting people to not just buy into
- 18:56World Toilet Day as an idea, but getting them to buy
- 18:59into toilets as a place for peace is a bit of
- 19:02a jump and you need to chill the heck out.
- 19:04Like, why don't you get people psyched about
- 19:07toilets first and then you can try to sell them on this idea of
- 19:10like, ooh, like,
- 19:13yes, you're. You're correct.
- 19:16But I think it would be better served to focus in
- 19:19on what you have to be thankful
- 19:22for. It should be like, World Toilet Day. Thank
- 19:25God you didn't have to carry your skeet
- 19:28out into the road. Like, thank
- 19:30God that after you released your bowels,
- 19:33you were done interfacing with your waist.
- 19:38I get what you mean. Yes,
- 19:41places of peace, places of protection,
- 19:43places of progress. But, like, it is a
- 19:46toilet. Rather,
- 19:49I think they're better to focus on being
- 19:52thankful for the toilet you have because being thankful
- 19:55is a good motivator to people
- 19:58and helping them take action and moving
- 20:01towards solutions.
- 20:04Just like last year, the World Toilet Day has a number of
- 20:07ways that you can get involved kind of little on this one.
- 20:10The primari is awareness. Use the hashtag world toilet
- 20:13day 2024. So, like, do that.
- 20:16But they also know you can make a poster promoting World Toilet
- 20:19Day come up with fun slogans. I'd bet you'd do better
- 20:21than they did. And, um, they can even organize a game day or
- 20:24a dance to raise awareness. Could you imagine? Could
- 20:27you imagine the, like,
- 20:30Yapaoie county of
- 20:33Class of 2024 predences, the hooy Boogy
- 20:36shake your to gety, Bring it on down for World
- 20:39Toilet Day fundraiser. Fun race for the cure.
- 20:42Like welcome to
- 20:45Hunter Hoovies, Late night hoot nanny and jig for the cause. You
- 20:48know, I like wiggle your butt to remind everyone some
- 20:50people don't have toilets. I don't know, but that's what they
- 20:53said to do again I don't think the organized dance
- 20:56events uh, are uh, what it is. It didn't move
- 20:59the needle last year. And if I had a
- 21:02suggestion to the UN water people in
- 21:05conjunction with World Toilet Day it's
- 21:07this join up with other things
- 21:10that are going on. There's other people that are getting hyped
- 21:13for toilets. Reach out, say hey, let's do
- 21:16something.
- 21:21One example of this is the
- 21:23possibility of partnering with eight
- 21:26organizations and agencies like the American Restroom
- 21:29Association.
- 21:36In 2004 Stephen
- 21:39Soia Soyfer who knows co
- 21:42founded the American Restrooms Association.
- 21:44Steven Sofer founded the International
- 21:47par Euuresis Association. That's part
- 21:50uresus is pea shyness. Um um. So he's
- 21:53like the, the king of pea shy
- 21:57old daddy pe shy coming to get you. But
- 21:59this was a non profit promoted to research in
- 22:02a variety of bathroom ailments.
- 22:05Stephen Soy fair's work helped the
- 22:08nonprofit gain legs had and almost 10
- 22:11years later he went to found the American Restroom
- 22:14association out of the state of American uh, Maryland. Uh,
- 22:17and once again I have some notes.
- 22:21When you go to the American Restroom
- 22:24Association's website, there's not
- 22:27a lot of information about the background and purpose
- 22:29of the association. But when you
- 22:32access Soyfer's own
- 22:35personal website you find out
- 22:38that the ara the American Restroom association is a quote
- 22:41unquote full scale toilet
- 22:43transformation in the country. So our
- 22:46restrooms are not the laughing stock of the developed
- 22:48world.
- 22:52It's a bold claim. It's a bold claim there
- 22:54Stepven.
- 22:58I guess I didn't know I was the laughing stock. You know what
- 23:01I'm saying? Like
- 23:04your claim makes some, some assertions that
- 23:07I didn't know were even uh, uh, on the table.
- 23:11But if this is true, work seems to come
- 23:13alongside his other worlds to
- 23:16help restrooms be not only more
- 23:18desirable and good to use
- 23:21publicly, but as well as helping already
- 23:24in place restrooms to be better.
- 23:28Such scopes and things that that the American
- 23:31Restroom association seeks to include
- 23:33is focusing on restroom design and
- 23:36technology, the availability and accessibility of
- 23:39restrooms and legislation and regulation related
- 23:42to restrooms. Now I think I know the
- 23:45answer to this, but I
- 23:48pray that the American Restroom association has
- 23:50enough brains to like realize that
- 23:53letting men in women's bathrooms is idiotic and
- 23:56stupid. Like we've covered this on the show
- 23:59and this is not a political thing. This is just a simple
- 24:02if you are a man, you don't
- 24:05need to be in a women's bathroom if you were ever
- 24:08even going to attempt to be a Man, uh, in
- 24:11any way. You don't need to be in there. Go to the men's
- 24:14room. End of story.
- 24:17If ever you were a man, go to
- 24:20the men's restroom. You don't need to be in the women's restroom.
- 24:23See, it's just as simple
- 24:31now. Are they wasting money on advocating
- 24:34for. Oh, we can all take a fat deuce
- 24:37wherever we want. I have no idea. The goal of
- 24:40the ARA is noble. We hear
- 24:42at privy. We love improving bathrooms. We like when we walk
- 24:45into a bathroom. That's what Toilet Tuesday is all about. Toilet
- 24:48Tuesday is all about walking into a bathroom, going, it's a nice bathroom.
- 24:52I get a picture of that. It's good.
- 24:55The goal of the World Toilet Day is noble.
- 24:57People need safe sanitation. That's good.
- 25:02But the. Getting the word out is not
- 25:04happening. We need a little,
- 25:07like, use a little bit. Like, they
- 25:10had to have some money sitting around. Use some of that money to get
- 25:13things going. Think of it like,
- 25:16think of World Toilet Day in American Restroom Association.
- 25:19Think of your funding like a laxative.
- 25:21You got to get a little bit. And sometimes you have to introduce it
- 25:24up the backside. You know, little. Yeah.
- 25:27Suppository. It just really. Yeah. Uh,
- 25:29just young to get stuff
- 25:32moving. It's okay.
- 25:37I think if. Yeah. If I saw another
- 25:40political ad earlier this month. I was canceling it
- 25:42all. America needs to develop their bathroom
- 25:45technology. It's good for them. But in all these, whether we're looking
- 25:48at the World Toilet Day and realizing how fortunate
- 25:51we are that we live in a part of the world that has
- 25:54access to a system of waste removal
- 25:57that truly deals with our turds. If I
- 25:59drop skit right now and I
- 26:02hit that, I, uh, hit that beautiful, beautiful
- 26:05little flesh, it's gone. I don't have to
- 26:08think about it.
- 26:12We live in a part of the cut world that has good access to
- 26:15bathrooms. We're developing bathroom technology
- 26:18and we can. Can and oh, this time of
- 26:21year to. We ought to
- 26:24take time to be thankful. And I really think that the
- 26:27World Toilet Day, being so close to
- 26:29Thanksgiving, could do a lot to
- 26:32help raise not aware. Not just awareness,
- 26:35but awareness via the way of
- 26:38thankfulness.
- 26:46Thankfulness is good.
- 26:49It can be a driving force for
- 26:51accomplishment. World Toilet Day was last
- 26:54week, and I hope that though they were focused on
- 26:57peace. Peace, brother. Um, that we can all
- 27:00agree we have much to be thankful for
- 27:02here. If you don't like dumping
- 27:05a bucket of crap out in the ditch every time
- 27:08you drop skeet, you have so much
- 27:11to be thankful for in Your toilet.
- 27:15If you don't like rinsing your butthole or wiping
- 27:18yourself with ferns or like old
- 27:21weird moss or shirts that you have laying around,
- 27:24you've got a lot to be thankful for. This stuff right here
- 27:26is pretty great. It's pretty
- 27:29great toilet paper, big
- 27:32fan. It's all messed up now,
- 27:35but it's good stuff. And when you wake up
- 27:38or before you go to bed, if you're one of those people,
- 27:40right, or you get done with a rigorous workout and you're just,
- 27:43you're just drapping with sweat,
- 27:46the feeling of hot water
- 27:49on demand, in many cases
- 27:52rushing over you, washing the day away,
- 27:54washing the sleep away, waking you up. The. Just the,
- 27:57just the dark shower first thing in the morning is
- 28:00just, it just hits different. We
- 28:03have much to be thankful for.
- 28:06And this season, as, as Thanksgiving at the point
