>> Speaker A: They've got a wait. They've got a seating area for the bathroom, so you can
0:03
wait while your friend drops the fatty.
0:06
He ordered the curry on the plane. Do you know what I'm saying?
0:10
Like your travel partners. And he does it every
0:12
time. So dumb.
0:17
Welcome back to privy. Privy
0:20
is a podcast about bathrooms
0:23
recorded from my home
0:25
bathroom. I'm your host, hunter
0:28
Hoover, and I love bathrooms.
0:31
Uh, welcome back. Thank you for being here. You
0:34
have survived the spooky season, and we
0:36
are well on our way to
0:39
what I like to call the back half. Um,
0:42
because truly, I feel
0:44
like we, at least
0:47
here in the states, in America, um,
0:50
I really feel like we really
0:53
get our money's worth for those last three months,
0:56
um, the first nine months of the year,
0:59
kind of slow, but I really feel
1:02
like we really get wheels to the
1:05
pavement and we get our money's worth for the last three months. And
1:08
boy, howdy, do the kids really sense
1:10
it. Uh, I have a couple of stories to share
1:13
with you, um, regarding
1:16
things that have come up at the high school.
1:19
Um, and I'll be honest with you, of
1:22
late, I have been doing my best to not
1:25
share the crass stories as much. And I'm
1:28
not going to go into the slimy and
1:31
the particulated and the
1:34
sometimes chunky and,
1:36
um, kind of sloshy and just
1:39
generally visceral. Um,
1:43
and just very gooey and just
1:45
warm details. I'm not going to go into all
1:48
that, but what I do want to say,
1:51
I want to share a couple of
1:53
highlights, um,
1:56
from the last week or so, um,
1:59
of the high school. So the first thing is,
2:02
I re entered the game as a custodian. I
2:05
filled in for friend of the show and former guest Michael
2:08
wall at our church, uh, for a couple weeks while
2:11
he and his, uh, wife, Kimberly, went on
2:13
a much deserved break, uh, on a road
2:16
trip around the western half of the United
2:19
States. And
2:23
it was a privilege, it was an honor to fill in for
2:25
Michael. I know I did.
2:29
Michael's. Michael's got this stuff locked
2:31
down. But truly, uh, just
2:34
the very first night, like, almost my first night,
2:37
getting ready to jump back
2:40
in. I was a janitor for ten years,
2:43
and I'm ready to
2:46
put back on the suit, if you will, and
2:48
just right out of the gate, just the most bodacious
2:51
clog I have seen in some time. Now, it
2:54
wasn't like a level five. It was an easy
2:57
to deal with clog. It was a classic
3:00
three pump clog, and you just got to
3:03
push past your clogs. Like, you just have to do
3:05
that. And that wasn't my
3:08
frustration. The worst of it, Michael, if you're hearing
3:11
this, the worst of it is at the end
3:14
of our kids group evening. Um, I went
3:17
into the men's bathroom
3:19
to, uh, just check it for the
3:22
evening. And I'll be honest. Um, this was
3:25
not the cleaning night. This was the make
3:28
sure it looks tidy enough for the rest of the
3:31
weeknight. And I go into the boys
3:33
bathroom and there is just urine hither and yawn.
3:36
Um, like, there's urine in
3:40
one of the two sit down stalls, all over
3:43
the seat, all over the floor, out the stall and
3:46
in front of both standing
3:48
urinals and onto the far
3:51
wall of this bathroom. And I'm sitting here
3:54
going, this either has to be a small child
3:56
struggling desperately for success
3:59
or a complete jack wagon
4:02
of a human who has done this on purpose and they
4:05
need to get slapped in the back of the head by the mama.
4:09
So that was my introduction. But then
4:12
I kind of got to play honorary
4:14
custodian at the high school this week. Um, at
4:17
the point of recording, um,
4:20
it's November 2. If you hear that, you're
4:22
peeking behind the window. Um, and yes, you're
4:25
thinking, wow, he's really cutting it close. Yeah,
4:28
I am. Because life's busy.
4:31
And, um, we celebrated my son's birthday.
4:34
Happy birthday, bud. Uh, and
4:37
just had a good time. But that
4:40
caused his life to be busy. And one of the things. But this
4:43
happened this week at the high school. Really just when
4:46
you're busy, this is what you want. So
4:50
let me set the stage.
4:53
I stepped out of my room to
4:57
check on some students. And as I am
5:00
doing so, as I'm leaving the
5:03
building, I see what is
5:05
just the most
5:09
thrashed looking Ralph I have seen in a long
5:11
time. Now, there is vomit
5:15
out the door, clean inside the building,
5:18
down the hallway and into the boy's bathroom. Now,
5:21
at this point, I only knew of the
5:24
vomit in the building and in the hallway. So I went to
5:27
the custodial radio channel. I radioed, no
5:30
answer. And I'm sitting here thinking, oh, man, they're probably
5:32
swamped. I'm going to go back to the main
5:35
channel and see if we can get some action over there. So I go back to the main
5:38
channel and I honk off up to him. And while
5:41
I'm chattering about
5:44
the disaster vomit, um,
5:48
kids start coming out of the men's bathroom, the
5:51
boys bathroom, and saying, uh, one of the toilets
5:54
is destroyed too. So naturally, I went
5:57
in and got a picture uh, if you would like to
6:00
see the picture of this bowl, uh, go
6:03
check it out and follow Randy bowles at
6:06
Randy Bowles. Um, we've got some randy
6:09
toilet shots over there, but
6:12
this thing was absolutely thrashed. Um, I
6:15
have not seen this much sick from the
6:18
inside of a human stomach in a long time. But,
6:21
man, my dude hit it. And
6:23
by it, I mean both the inside and the outside
6:26
of the bowl. Um, but then I played
6:29
what I like to call vomit puppy guard for
6:32
about 40 minutes until the custodian was able to come in,
6:35
take over. And you're hearing that and you're saying, well,
6:38
Hunter, you just said you have, like, ten years
6:40
experience. Why didn't you get your hand up on that
6:43
ball and get a piece of that pie? And
6:46
I tried my keys, didn't open the custodial closet, so I
6:49
could not get the appropriate tools to handle the
6:52
job myself. Um, but the guy came,
6:55
he got it dealt with, and life moves
6:57
on. Um, the sick has been
7:00
relocated. Um, really, life is just
7:03
relocating someone sick from one place to the next.
7:06
That's facts.
7:10
This week on privy. As you may have seen, we
7:12
are going to be finally discussing
7:15
the winner of America's best restroom,
7:18
2023. Um, but as
7:21
always, to do so, we can't just talk about it.
7:24
We've got to go back.
7:31
U in early America, trade
7:34
with Europe was prominent, um, mostly
7:37
because we were controlled by them,
7:39
early settlers, after, um,
7:42
often foisting the land from the native
7:45
Americans. Sorry, guys. Would
7:48
regularly seek to
7:50
settle coastal regions and
7:53
areas that would be good for transporting
7:56
goods and
7:59
people to the coast
8:02
for trade. Now, one of the. And listen,
8:04
America's history, it's got some
8:07
blemishes. Like, we've got blemishes. That's the
8:10
facts. Every nation has its blemishes. Um,
8:13
but we can either paint over the blemishes, or
8:16
we can look at them and say, yeah, that was bad. Um,
8:19
but for early settlers, the locations
8:22
of where the Patopsco
8:25
river empties into the
8:27
nearby Chesapeake Bay would
8:30
be just, like, such a good spot for this.
8:34
You want something that's a riverway, but
8:37
that empties into the
8:39
ocean. For ease of transportation of
8:42
goods, the then
8:44
province of Maryland established
8:47
the port of Baltimore, which would serve as
8:50
a tobacco export hotspot.
8:53
They just cannot get enough of that
8:56
sweet sweetbacco, and they're just pumping it
8:59
out of Baltimore left and right.
9:02
In time, as trade persists and
9:05
often increases, people begin to
9:08
settle near the waterways. In places of
9:10
business, they do what they often do.
9:13
They set up towns, they set up a family, they set
9:16
up shops, they try to start businesses.
9:19
And in this case, a town popped
9:22
up, a town by
9:25
the name of Baltimore,
9:27
formed in 1729.
9:31
At the time when Baltimore was formed, people were
9:34
probably still taking a little patopsco in the
9:37
Patopsco river, if you know what I'm saying. But
9:39
Baltimore has jumped in and out of american
9:42
history like it's always been there
9:45
since the beginning. Baltimore
9:47
served as the temporary capital of
9:50
these United States in 1777, when
9:53
they were forced to move revolutionary
9:56
hearings and meetings out of, I
9:59
believe, at the time, Philadelphia, um,
10:03
the first printing press was made in
10:05
Baltimore, along with one of the nation's first
10:08
newspapers. More pertinent to
10:11
today's discussion, though, as you will see in time,
10:14
I promise I'll land the plane.
10:17
You're going to get that in a little bit. That one's going to pay off, I
10:20
think. In
10:22
1830, the nation's oldest
10:25
railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio
10:27
Railroad, opened its first
10:30
section, and it was the first common
10:33
carrier railroad to transport goods and
10:36
services and people.
10:38
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, also known
10:41
as B O Railroad, would be one of the famous
10:44
location on Milton Bradley's monopoly,
10:48
but not as famous as the reading railroad. Sorry,
10:50
bno. Um, shout out
10:53
by the you if you are not. We
10:56
might need to get, like, a little subgroup going here,
10:59
but if you're not playing monopoly, go.
11:02
You should. Um. It's very fun. Somehow
11:05
they have turned what I believe to be a mediocre,
11:07
subpar board game into a very fun single
11:10
player game for the phone. Uh, it's a blast from the
11:13
past, if you will, but
11:16
Bno Railroad was
11:19
not the one on the board game, the real life one. That
11:22
is what the one on the board game is based on.
11:25
Um, it was a large, interconnected
11:28
section of railroads which
11:31
was said to link the 13
11:34
states.
11:37
Early times, it was colonies, but the
11:40
13 great states with the rest of the
11:42
nation.
11:46
The BNO would play a
11:49
role in the union's success in the
11:51
Civil war, allowing the
11:54
transportation of goods and troops from a
11:57
lot of places throughout the northern states. You got to get the stuff
12:00
to where it needs to be. You got to get soldiers to where
12:02
they can fight. They got to get soldiers away from the fighting if they've
12:05
been hurt. And they used
12:08
railroads, and in some cases, the b O
12:11
railroad, to do so.
12:15
The B O was one section of
12:18
the track was home to a permanent horse
12:20
drawn stretch. It is the first US
12:23
railroad to operate a steam
12:26
locomotive, and it's the first railroad
12:29
to offer high end, prestigious
12:31
passenger trains,
12:34
many of the b O's bridges,
12:38
the bridges that they built to allow
12:41
this very sweet tube A, ah,
12:43
train, um, to
12:47
go over, often waterways or other
12:49
transportation sections. These bridges
12:52
were often made from granite. It was expensive.
12:55
They had an agreement with an experimental line of
12:58
telegraph that ran from Washington DC
13:01
to Baltimore. Again,
13:04
uh, a communication line that was influential
13:06
at wartime. And essentially the telegraph
13:09
company was like, hey, bno
13:12
Railroad, you give us access to
13:15
the lines and all that stuff, and you can use our
13:18
telegraph all you want. And they were
13:21
like, you got it, bud. Um,
13:24
and while the BNO has rich
13:27
history, more so than the
13:30
ridiculous space on the monopoly board,
13:36
and another non bathroom related podcast
13:38
could easily make a meal just on
13:41
this one influential railway and the
13:44
impact that it had on our american
13:47
culture for our
13:50
purposes. A brief history
13:54
of the transportation industry of
13:56
Baltimore. Um,
13:59
it suffices to say the Baltimore and Ohio
14:02
Railroad closed its corporate offices in
14:05
1987. That's over 150
14:07
years of operation after its
14:10
opening. But about 50
14:12
years before BNO launched its first train on
14:15
the ground, Edward
14:18
Warren made the first ever
14:21
manned flight in the United States
14:24
over the city of Baltimore in a
14:27
Balloon
14:35
nearby M Baltimore, the city of College park,
14:39
opened the first and oldest
14:41
continuously operated airport in 19.
14:44
Eight. It would be nearly
14:47
another 15 years before Maryland. If
14:50
you don't know, that's where Baltimore is located,
14:53
got its first airline facility in
14:55
1921. And maybe, like me, you hear
14:58
and you read something like that, and you don't think,
15:01
didn't you say that it had a thing in 1908? How the
15:04
heck do they get the first one in 1921?
15:07
Well, College park airport was not
15:09
an aviation facility. It was a local type
15:12
operation. Logan Field
15:15
was Maryland's first aviation facility.
15:19
And while the BNO. That's the formerly
15:21
mentioned train from minutes ago. While the BNO
15:25
solidified Baltimore as a major
15:27
transportation hub in the United States, connecting
15:30
the midwest to the rest of Appalachia,
15:34
as airports began to open and be in
15:36
operation, Baltimore would begin to be
15:39
connected to the rest of the world.
15:43
Beginning in 1930, airlines
15:46
began to add their services to the Logan field
15:49
location. And
15:53
as business boomed, the need for a
15:55
bigger airport became more and more evident.
15:59
In 1946, they drew up a plan for a new
16:02
airport 10 miles from Baltimore and 30 miles
16:05
from Washington, DC. And they eventually
16:07
named this airport the Friendship
16:10
International Airport, and it's
16:12
dedicated by President Truman in
16:15
1950. As the
16:18
city of Baltimore continues to grow, so does the industry
16:21
and its services. The state of Maryland brought
16:23
friendship. The state of Maryland
16:26
bought, purchased Friendship International
16:29
Airport from the city of Baltimore for
16:31
$36 million in
16:33
1972. I would argue a steal on an
16:36
airport. With it came a M
16:39
multi year long plan to update and
16:42
modernize the airport with improved passenger terminals,
16:45
Amtrak rail stations and new FFA control
16:48
tower replacement and redoing of the Runway
16:50
enhanced security checks, parking garages, which
16:53
cost over a billion dollars
16:56
between 1972 and
16:58
2000. That's a lot of
17:00
upgrades. I feel like I just mass
17:03
upgraded. Like when you're playing the Vidgie games and sometimes you
17:06
have that button that's like upgrade all. I feel like I just hit that
17:09
button for the Friendship International Airport.
17:13
Let's go.
17:17
It ain't polar seltzer, but it'll do,
17:20
uh, Waterloo cranberry, ain't nothing
17:23
wrong with it. Also, sprite cranberries back.
17:26
Everybody strap in. Hold on to your horses.
17:29
Stuff's um, so good. In
17:31
2000, the
17:34
airport unveiled a
17:37
$1.8 billion expansion
17:40
vision and,
17:44
uh, we're not going to detail all
17:47
these renovations in
17:50
time. The expansions and the
17:52
upgrades continued to happen. In
17:55
2021, they installed a
17:57
$48 million extension to
18:00
Concourse A, which included new boarding gates,
18:03
new restaurants, and began projects
18:06
to modernize bathrooms.
18:09
Later, there was proposed a $55
18:11
million as a part of a modern
18:14
facelift beginning with the Concourse B
18:17
bathrooms and
18:20
this brings us to
18:22
a highlight segment of
18:25
Poo in the news.
18:30
This poo in the news is brought to you
18:32
by the Cintis Corporation. It

aesthetic, mural and seating area while they wait for
20:24
their companions. They've got a seating
20:27
area for the bathroom so you can wait while your friend
20:30
drops the fatty. He ordered the curry on
20:33
the plane. Do you know what I'm saying? Like your travel
20:35
partners. And he does it every time. He's
20:38
so dumb. So dumb.
20:41
And he gets the curry and you tell
20:44
him every time, don't do it like
20:46
it's going to liquefy your bee.
20:50
But without fail, he does it liquefies
20:53
his bee and now you have a place to sit
20:56
and wait while he totally decimates

provides real time inventory tracking and usage counts
21:20
for custodial services. Very rad. Very
21:22
interesting. Um, I
21:25
would love to Baltimore Washington International
21:28
Thurgood Marshall Airport if you are hearing this, please
21:31
publish your numbers. I would love to see how many rolls
21:34
of toilet paper y'all go through in a day, let alone a year.
21:38
Ricky Smith, an executive director and
21:41
CEO of the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall
21:44
Airport, said, we're honored to be recognized by
21:47
cintist and contest voters for our commitment
21:50
to providing a positive passenger experience and
21:52
outstanding facilities. Passengers rank restrooms
21:55
as an airport's number one amenity. That's why
21:58
we work so hard to provide creative, clean and
22:01
inviting restrooms to make travel more enjoyable.
22:04
You can almost see the smile into the camera and the
22:07
sparkle that they've added in his teeth when he says that
22:11
this is the 22nd year of the America's best
22:14
restroom contest hosted by Cintus. They
22:16
celebrate innovative, hygienic public restrooms.
22:19
The Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport
22:22
was one of ten finalists. Lady da they tell
22:25
about voting. We already did that. Um,
22:29
the state of their public restrooms can have a large
22:31
impact on public perception of a business, said Julia
22:34
Walsh, marketing manager of Cintus. The Baltimore
22:37
Washington International Thurgood Marshall airport
22:40
restrooms are bright and airy and the embodiment of
22:43
clean with natural light and room for luggage.
22:46
We're proud to crown them America's best restroom.
22:49
They tell you about who won last year and then they say you
22:52
can go nominate your restroom for 2024. Now here's what
22:55
I'm here to say.
22:58
There's a contact info. I might contact this person
23:01
to get it. Let's get
23:04
it. But here's what I'm here to say. Here's my
23:07
deal. So, a little bit of poo in
23:10
the news. Now
23:13
comes the inside baseball, where I
23:16
do, um, the feedback thing. And my
23:18
feedback is this. First of all, I want to say congratulations to
23:21
the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall airport
23:24
for your win. You
23:27
earned it. Um, and you cleaned
23:30
very nice looking restrooms. That is not my grief here. That is not
23:32
my concern. My concern is. And my
23:35
feedback is this. Why do the
23:38
airports keep winning? Like, if
23:40
pure dollars and cents have anything to do with it, these airports
23:43
will continue to win by stacking the vote.
23:47
I'm not saying that is what the Baltimore Washington International
23:49
Thurgood Marshall airport did,
23:53
but an airport has now won
23:56
two years in a row. And we
23:59
have talked in the past and often
24:02
on, privy about some of the
24:04
shortcomings of
24:07
the experiment. That is democracy.
24:10
And this is it. It is a reminder
24:13
that we may sometimes be better suited with a
24:16
representative democracy, where the folks with
24:19
the most money, or in this case, the most employees,
24:22
cannot stack the vote.
24:25
Now, I'm not saying, again that that's what's happening, but it
24:27
seems to me fishy
24:30
that two years in a row, a large
24:33
international airport bathroom beat out a local
24:36
mom and pop bathroom. When the local
24:39
mom and pops bathroom, if they're going off,
24:41
aesthetics, were much more dope to
24:44
check out. And my concern is
24:47
this, as the Cintis corporation's
24:50
America's best restroom competition grows
24:53
in its notoriety and
24:55
popularity, I believe
24:58
these big wigs, if you will, are going to continue
25:01
to beat out the little man.
25:06
I think there's some interesting politics going on.
25:10
And, uh, the other
25:13
concern I have is, so, as noted,
25:16
voting closed, according to the article,
25:18
in the middle of August, like August 11, I want to say
25:21
it was. Yet they did
25:24
not have the votes tallied and posted
25:27
until September 25 or
25:30
20 eigth. It's real special because the thing
25:33
is posted on the 25th, but it says that it was done on the
25:36
20 eigth. It's really nice, but it took them
25:39
a month and a half to air, quote,
25:42
tabulate the votes and post the
25:45
winner. And
25:47
I don't understand that because it's
25:50
flipping digital. You go to
25:53
the bottom of the excel sheet and you say tally, and
25:56
it adds up each contestant's numbers,
25:59
and whoever had the highest number is the winner. They
26:02
don't release the numbers. So you don't even
26:05
have to have a number. You just have to have it tell you who
26:07
had the most. It's not hard.
26:12
So why Cintis corp. Cintus,
26:15
if you're listening, I've talked about you a few times
26:18
now. I would like to say that it's free
26:20
advertisement, but I'm pretty sure you've got a little
26:23
bit more going on than I do. I ain't out
26:26
here assuming that people got a flipping
26:29
g dang clue what I'm doing. But what I do know
26:32
is my challenge to
26:35
you, cintist, is communicate and
26:38
lay out your vote counting system. Lay
26:41
all the cards out there. Let me see back behind.
26:43
Let me see that sausage. Let me see how that sausage
26:46
is being made. Let me see you stuff that sausage. You know what I'm
26:49
saying? I want to see it. I
26:52
want you to communicate how the restrooms of
26:55
establishments who make way more money are
26:58
not stacking the vote. There has
27:01
to be a way, maybe an email login
27:04
to ensure that employees of these places are not logging
27:07
in with their personal I don't know. Uh,
27:10
that's not really a good way to do it. But
27:13
I believe democracy
27:16
demands that you clarify this,
27:19
and bathrooms enthusiasts everywhere,
27:21
bathroom enthusiasts everywhere demand it.
27:25
I decided to do some digging
27:27
and found out that Canada has their
27:30
own cintus best restroom competition. And what? We're going to be
27:33
covering that in future episodes. But I asked,
27:36
does Canada like airport bathrooms as
27:39
well, or is this just something strange going on here in
27:42
the states? Well,
27:45
a quick perusal through a little press
27:47
release tells us all we need to know.
27:51
This article is also from the Cintus
27:54
corporation. Cintus Canada from
27:57
Mississauga, Ontario. Probably blew that, sorry,
28:00
knicks, um, but in the
28:03
14th year, little bit less than the american best
28:06
restroom. Cintus's nationwide contest
28:09
highlights businesses that have invested in developing and
28:12
maintaining exceptional washrooms. Winning
28:15
the title of America's best restroom is truly an honor,
28:18
said Heather Rhodes, CEO of Hard
28:21
Bean Brunch Company. Now had to go look
28:23
this up. Hard Bean brunch company
28:26
is, as you will tell by the name, not
28:29
an airport. In fact, they seem like a
28:32
nice breakfast spot.
28:37
Canada. That's who won in 2023 in
28:40
Canada, and it makes more sense. And granted, they
28:42
have fewer submissions, but
28:48
I want to also note their timeline is about
28:51
the same. The voting closed July 7 and they didn't
28:54
post this until August 17. Like,
28:57
what's going on with the Cintis corporation and their ability
28:59
to not get this vote in. We got to get
29:02
it figured out. But
29:05
Canada has their own best
29:08
restroom. Uh, and from 2010
29:10
on, I wanted to look at this. From 2010 on
29:14
in Canada, the winners
29:18
of Canada's best Restroom
29:20
2010 have been the 2023
29:23
winner, hard bean Brunch company, followed by Majesty
29:26
and friends, Borden Park,
29:28
Edmonton Westview RV park,
29:31
uh, Beaver Hill, Shell. I can't read that.
29:34
It's french. St. Albert, Honda,
29:37
St. Albert in Alberta, Bayview
29:39
Shopping center, white Court, Esso
29:41
superstation, a thousand
29:44
islands, duty free. Shaw
29:47
Club Hotel and spa, Valley View Shell
29:50
superstation, Langley Street, Lou
29:53
El Evan, Toronto. In
29:56
other words, not any airports. That's what I want to highlight.
29:59
There's a lack of airport presence in the
30:01
canadian best restroom competition
30:06
since 2002. In the
30:09
America's best restroom competition, an
30:11
airport has won four
30:14
times, two of those in
30:17
the last two years. Thus, my theory
30:20
about the increasing awareness of the America's best
30:22
restroom competition and
30:26
only three to five of, uh,
30:29
all of the winners, um, in America's best restroom in
30:32
the last 22 years came
30:35
from small, locally owned
30:37
companies.
30:40
So to that, I ask Cintis, what's the
30:43
deal? I think this next year we
30:46
have a chance to find out, is it all airports
30:49
and hotels, or can the little guy still win in America? When
30:52
we discuss this idea of
30:56
the project of democracy,
31:00
as always, it should be noted, you can nominate
31:03
a bathroom for the 2024
31:05
Canada and America's best restroom
31:08
competitions. Link in the thing below
31:13
and let's beat them out.
31:17
It is our duty, it's
31:20
our duty to vote for the best restroom. But
31:26
I, uh, think we need to be honest with
31:29
ourselves. We want to congratulate the
31:32
Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall
31:34
airport, and I want to celebrate your victory. And
31:37
I hope you add the Cintus prize to your history page. It was not
31:40
up there as of the time of the preparation
31:43
of this episode, which was October 31, the end
31:46
of season,
31:50
and you've been crowned the winner for over a month now,
31:53
so get on it.
31:54
Um, but
31:59
I think we have a duty to vote on this
32:02
next one. We're going to come out hot
32:05
and heavy on this.
32:10
This concludes an
32:13
extended segment of who in the
32:15
news.
32:20
And this also brings us to the end of another
32:23
episode of Privy. Thank you so much for joining
32:25

32:37
wounded warriors project, uh,
32:40
to say thank you to all the men and
32:43
women who have given so much up for
32:46
the freedoms in our country. If you are from outside of the
32:49
United States,
32:50
um, you can
32:53
join us in supporting the people who
32:56
have fought in our country, or, uh, do some
32:59
search, find any sort
33:01
of, uh, things, uh, that
33:04
support the military in your country.
33:07
Um, the people who fight for the
33:10
rights that you have are important, and it's our opportunity
33:12
to give back. So thank you. Um,
33:15
we would love for you to leave rating review and a reminder
33:18
that we need to keep pooping in the free world. But that free world
33:21
was not always free. You can send us an email

33:44
the end of the year and into next year. Keep your eyes open for
33:47
that. This has been another episode of privy. Thank
33:50
you guys so much for joining me here in my bathroom.
33:53
Push past your clogs. Own your stank. Keep pooping
33:56
