Privycast

Fecal matter is not what most would think of when they think of medical treatment, unless you were in Ancient Egypt. From burns, to eye problems, to lack of strength; poop was used in a lot of the cures. This week, we explore those cures, and take a look at why they may have had them in the first place.

Showers are great, but it turns out, they haven't been around that long. At least, not the ones we know and love today. How did an inventor, an immigrant, and concern for public safety bring us the best way to get clean, and one of the most concerning Hunter's Anecdotes to date? All in this episode of Privy!

This week, in celebration of Plumpsatommy being yanked from his slumber hole, we talk about wombats, and what the heck is up with they butts. These are magnificent creatures, with magnificent leavings.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Jason Powell, who shared the ins and outs of bathrooming while on the job farming. He also reveals his feelings on waffle stomping, and introduces Hunter to the idea of having a cold beverage in the shower. Oh and he tells a story of a close call from his not so distant past.

We went to the Happiest Place on earth. We sat on some toilets, looked at a brown sidewalk to remind ourselves of a smellier past, and learned about a part of the Florida government created to make Disney happen. Who knew there was so much bathroom relating things in Mickey's Kingdom?

Hunter's Anecdote Intro and Outro Music:

Nothing could be worse than having to go to the bathroom at 30,000 feet, except if that toilet was going to slosh when you hit turbulence. This week, we look at the history of humans putting toilets on planes, talk about how to use them, and go on location to bust an old myth about flushing an airplane toilet.

Intro and Outro:

Catalonia has some Christmas traditions that focus heavily on pooping. What is it about this culture that includes a pooping log and a pooping figurine in their celebration of the season? And, what could these traditions mean for us today? Also, there is a surprise visit from the big man himself. It's a Christmas miracle, just don't beat your Tio too hard.

Santa's gearing up for his yearly delivery, but where does he stop to make special deposits on his yearly outing? And better yet, could we use this as a trap to finally catch Santa?
