Welcome to Gotta Go with Mary Poopins, the podcast where we flush out the fascinating stories behind all things bathrooms. It’s especially exciting to see new subscribers—thank you, your support means the world! Today that means some world travel and a bit of cheeky humor. We’re headed to a toilet so stunning, it might just make your bucket list—or should we say, your porcelain throne list, where you can do the ultimate doo.

We’re diving into Ureddplassen, Norway’s $2 million roadside restroom that’s redefining what it means to “go” on a road trip. With its wave-like architecture, marble amphitheater, and views of fjords so breathtaking, you might just forget why you stopped in the first place. Spoiler: It’s not just for the view.

From skaters rating its steps 10/10 to travelers calling it the poo of a lifetime, we’ll unpack why this isn’t just a pit stop—it’s the crown jewel of public bathrooms. So grab your travel map, pack some hand soap just in case, and get ready to laugh as we explore how Norway turned a toilet into a tourist attraction. Let’s go!
