Speaker 2 (00:02):

What do you do if you're staying somewhere, be at
a hotel, but especially if you're like at a friend's
house and you clog the toilet and and maybe that
you're not able to maybe there's a plunger in there.
Maybe there's not though, and you're unable to undo it.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
What do you do?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
And in this the question in this particular topic was
if you're at a party at someone's house and this
happened at a.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Party, you should be arrested. That's that's not a police
right now.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, at the club and at a party, I just
if you feel like that may need to happen, then
maybe it's not club night, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Like, maybe we don't go to live.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Tonight, you know, maybe tomorrow and night after I get
some emodium come something. I mean, I realize an emergency
emergencies occur, but in this scenario, it was it's a
party and this guy is like, you know, there may
only be one bathroom for everyone to use. So it's
not like you can just walk out like I mean,
I suppose you could walk out like it didn't happen
and hope that nobody was waiting outside the thing for

(01:23):
you to have to explain, because then everyone the party's
going to know that it was you. You can't stay
in there for a very long time because then people
are like, is he okay? But even if you're like
staying in someone's guest house and this occur or guest
room rather and this occurs, like how long can you
go before you have to say something like hey, I

(01:44):
I yeah, are he's broken? And then you know then
your host is probably going to go in there and
try and figure it out, only to find out that
So what do you what is the etiquette? Like, I
think you have to just cop to it, don't you.
You have to just walk right out there now people
in the comp but people are in. I guess, I
don't know if they were commenting, I don't remember. I
guess they were commenting saying that they've actually well I'm

(02:05):
trying to figure out how I knew this, but people
were saying that they've actually reached their hand down as
far as it will go in an effort to unclog it.
Because that was better than having to go and explain
to your friend that you did this, and then having
them have to go in there and figure out how
to undo it, because like, let's say, it's simply you

(02:28):
just need to, you know, use the plunger more effectively.
Well then and your friend then has to plunge your stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's bad. Stand people's houses goes, that's right, that is bad.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I agree, But I would first and foremost, Yeah, if
you got to go limber two, like leave the party,
just don't even say by, just leave.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
And I understand. But I would put my hand in there.
I've thought about that.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
If I'm desperate, if I didn't bare hand. If I didn't,
then my bare hands are going in because I'm not letting.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
It just about anything.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yes, I think I would start trying to find like
the long objects.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I don't know what I mean, are you gonna make
it worse? But like, what do you do? What do
you do? You're just gonna go right out there and
cop to it. No, I'm like, I'm gonna lay down
and just make myself comfortable.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm not leaving the bathroom until it goes down.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Because you could hope, you could hope and pray, like
if it's a guess through when no one else is
using the bathroom, I suppose you could give it like
an hour and just hope that it clears itself.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
What odds are it's not going to I'm laying it.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
I'm laying in there, man, I can't leave out. I'm
sorry this bathroom is occupied for the rest of the night,
but I cannot put my hand in there. Like that's crazy, girl.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But eventually you're gonna have to You're gonna have to
be honest about it.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
No, I just thinky bring me a phone charge, not
to fix itself, whether there's a clog.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, No, I mean someone said I have cronic disease,
so I gotta go. When I gotta go, someone else
that you just you dip you go.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's one of the gas stations that I do.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
We're talking about people who are just like making the
active decision you should take a.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Jump at a party, not if you have a medical issue, right, No, Yeah,
it's just like Joe down the street line you had
like a big dinner, leave, get out of my house.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's two scenarios.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Like one is, if you're staying in someone's house for
an extended period of time, then you're probably gonna have
to go number two. And I don't know, you just
got to hope that because who's to say that the
toilet doesn't have an issue that a known issue that
you don't know about, you know, and so like this
is a common occurrence, but you don't know that. So
you're embarrassed. But you got to go out there and
be like, hey, guys, they're eating their breakfast, you know whatever, Hey,

(04:41):
the toast is over here, seo's over here? About that
about I don't need any fiber because well you know
what I mean, Like, so you'd have to say something
because you can't just leave it like all weekend, and
then it's killing that's.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Ruined the friendship, like territory.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
You just I mean that I'm hopping out the window
someone else that I had it happen and quietly told
the host and was very nice that the guy before
me did it.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's messed up. How would you do that again?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
If the guest room scenario, like odds are they know
that it wasn't like that before blame their kids. Didn't
we do a waiting by the phone a bunch of
years ago? Or did I just read the story? I
think we did a waiting by the phone? Yeah, it
was well, it was the woman who the toilet was clogged,
so she took the poop and put it in the
in the kitty litter, whoa all right, okay, and the

(05:36):
cat had died. Though, well, there are a couple of issues.
Wasn't the cat dead?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I thought she she bagged it up.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Oh, there was another one who took it with her, Oh,
put it in her purse and took it away.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
And then there was one. I mean, we've done this
for fifteen years.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
And then there was one who she put it in
the But first of all, it's a human one, so like, okay,
like you know, little kiddies like I didn't do that.
You nasty for that. And then but then the cat
was dead, so it couldn't have been the I don't know.
Maybe I just read that one. I don't know. Awful, Hunter,
You just gotta leave, You gotta go home, You gotta leave.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, I'm leaving, whether it's out the window or out
the front door. I'm not sticking around. But they're gonna
but there's no hiding unless like are we not?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Are we just not gonna be friends anymore? Like I'm
just never gonna speak to you again, because I mean,
you could leave, but they're still gonna know, is you?

Speaker 1 (06:27):
How am I going to be friends with someone that
doesn't keep a plunger in the bathroom?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It's actually a good question, that's a good question. But
what if the plunger doesn't work? Like what if it's
what if it's like a really like a really unfortunate
situation and the plunger somehow isn't working.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
And you could be worrying about me crawling out the window,
but you got plumbing issues, and I think that's more important.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
So it's not on you at all.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Ever, No, okay, I don't think i'd make matters worse
by insulting your plumbing on top of all of it.
But anyway, Okay, thank you, Hunter, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
You two friends. Yeah, a lot of people like play them.
That's right there. Yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Now.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hold on.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
We finally got some good advice here on the text.
If I'm at a party or at a guest room
or whatever, I will test flush before I use the bathroom. Okay,
so you can make sure that it's like a strong flush.
But the problem is that still doesn't negate the fact
that you got it, Like what if it's a weak
flush or no matter what, you gotta go, you gotta
go eventually, so like it's it is what it is.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
And sometimes that strong flush is the only strong flush,
so the next time you do it, it won't work
like you wasted your strong Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Up the other option not to get too gross. And
I know some people do this anyway, it's like a
multiple flush situation, like where it just along the way
you do it so that it likes not it doesn't.
But the problem is if I'm like if I don't,
you know, have a very big apartment, I would know
if you flushed three times when you were I would
I would hear it, so I'd be like, what on earth,

(07:59):
I can't I'm not listening. But like my couch, my
couch is about fifteen feet away from the guest bathroom.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Like I'm not. I can'tnot counter flushes.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
But come on, if somebody was somebody were in there
and you heard it flush three four times, you wouldn't
think something about that.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
I think three is okay, four is where is where
we drawn along? I would call the okay three of them?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know, you know that's a normal that's yeah, right,
but four okay? Hey Jay, yes, you're sticking your hands
down there.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
You have to. I think you do leave that. I
think you do.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I think you got to try absolutely everything before you listen.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
If they don't have any soap, I always check the
makes this has happened multiple times. If they don't have
any soap, then I guess we just have to leave
it because that's on you at that point. But if
there's soap, and yeah, I did it, I messed it up.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I have read that.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I've read that soap and warm water will work, because
you know, if it has happened before.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
We want to wash his hands after me, greb Well
you could do after I grab it.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Of course you're gonna wash your hand no, I mean,
come on, come on, yeah, you're not a total like.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Please I'm after you grab it. That's what I want
to know.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Oh that's a good point, because you wash your hands
with your flushes, then they're breaking in.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
You're hoping that so that it will Oh god, this
is gross. Okay, Jay, thank you, I have a good day.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
No, I've read for like alternatives like if I if
you don't have draino and the punge doesn't work, apparently
the plumbers are probably screaming at me. But there are
other ways that you can clear it using what you
have sometimes like hot water and soap or something. I
don't know because I don't have, Like I don't have
it's not a regular currents in my house and I
don't have like draino laying around.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
What do you put it in your pocket?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Like what?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Don't look at me. I wouldn't grab it.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I would tell my friend if I'm saying at your house,
I'm close enough with you to go yo, I clugged
your toilet many But.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I'm with Carla who texted like you should if you
have multiple bathrooms, just go get multiple plungers.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Step number one.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Just make sure that all the equipment necessary is in there.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Vanessa, great investment. Oh this happ.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Yes, we threw a housewarming party and my friend came
up to me and was like, so, my boyfriend does
what he does best, and he clogged your toilet. Where's
your plunger?

Speaker 7 (10:16):
And I was like, oh, and because it was our housewarming, like,
we didn't have a plunger upstairs for that bathroom boy.
So like now I'm like running downstairs to get a
different one, trying to not make a scene because I
didn't want to embarrass him from other people. But yeah,
it needed to be taken care of.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
I don't think she felt good leaving it like that,
and I don't know what his plan was originally.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, Vanessa, Well and you're still friends like it just
this is what happens, is it is what it is.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Yes, but I honestly always think of it when I
look at him.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
See, this is what I'm worried about. This is exactly
what worries me. Thank you, Vanessa, have.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
A good day you too. This is this is the issue.
And believe you and there counting the flushes.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, you also listened to how long people watch their
hands too, don't you?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Uh No, I listened to hear I listen if there
is a washing of the hand going on. But again,
like I don't have a very big house, like I
can you can hear everything.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
I run the sink. I also I noticed.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I noticed that when people use my guest room, I
notice if you'd run the sink, or you don't run
the sink.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I always run the sink. I run the sink.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
If you're in my house and I'm in my bathroom,
I still run the sink.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Like you don't need to hear that.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I know that you know that I'm doing something in there,
but like we can make it mysterious if you want.
