It's the pee show! Ok in pools, but not the shower? Cereal before milk, never the other way!

Who thinks it's ok to pee in the pool, but not the shower? Hint: it's the same guy who puts milk in the bowl before the cereal. Also, does cream cheese belong on a Pop- Tart?

me introduce my partners in crime.To my left, JP, the Brits
Persword and to my rights, thePride of Groveport and Madison High School Officer
and results. I Mike Raff,and we are live on tape for episode

(00:48):
four. Gentlemen, Wow, itis going fast. We've clearly got a
lot to talk about. A lotof wisdom to ship. Yeah yeah,
or a lot of nonsense. I'mnot sure which nonsense? Yeah yeah,
Okay, topic A this afternoon,guys. I believe it's controversial. I
believe it's polarizing, and it istwo pee or not two pee in the
pool. I believe there are twopeople, two types of people in the

(01:11):
world, those who pee in thepool and those who lie about peeing in
the pool. I think I knowwe may have one outlier in this room.
I think two of us agree.Look, I just I would just
set the record straight. Right out, like peeing in the pool is accept
one hundred percent acceptable. Now,it's not a shocker. Hold on,

(01:38):
that's just time out for a secondbefore you I think you got a delineation
between adults and kids because one hundredpercent of all the kids pay in the
pool. Well we're talking about we'retalking about adults. I think, well,
yeah, I mean people who wouldknow better. The other thing to
consider too, I think it's verymuch to do with the pool you're in,
Like the pool dictates like if there'sclose proximity to a bathroom, I'm

(01:59):
probably use it. But if there'snot, and I have to go down
the way to the country club bathroomand blah blah blah. You're talking like
vacation pool. Just pee in thepool. I'm just when you go to
the ocean, you pee in thepool. Now, it's not for the
record, I'm also with JP thebread I think I will also pee in

(02:22):
the pool. And the interest aboutthe about the ocean just took on this
TANGI real quick is the proximity ofothers is so much closer in the ocean
is in the pool. People waddleoff into the middle of the pool and
you know, they stand there lookingat the sky and pondering. Contemplation and
being in the ocean is totally differentthan pay in the pool. How because

(02:45):
the ocean is so much bigger andit's like massive. You can get away
from people and pee in the pool. In the ocean, do you know
how much fish pee and fish poopexactly? Well, it's probably commensurate to
the amount of from others and fromyou're in a let's do a scenario.
You're in the pool, vacation pool. Yep, you're with two other couples.

(03:07):
Yep, you just start peeing.No no, no, no,
no, no, I kind ofI have common decency. I'll depending on
the level of friendship. Okay,Right, so if all you know,
our families were in the pool havinga cocktail, having a good time,
like you guys, I'd go lookyou guys and your wives in the eye.

(03:28):
To be honest with me, I'mgonna go pee and I'll walk out
into the pool and give myself youknow, I'll I won't stretch my arms
out, but to give you guysan illustration. And you keep your baby
suit on when you pee in thepool. Right, it depends you're gonna
pull it, of course I did. You're gonna pull it over the side.
You're gonna pee right through the bathingsuit? What are you gonna go
straight through? Just like in theocean. Well, there is so much
chemical in the pool. I knowa lot of pool owners will pee in

(03:52):
their own pool, and I've askedthem, well, what about if I'm
in your pool? Is it okay? Like? Yeah, And the pool
owner that I happen to know alsohas a hot tub. This guy says
it's okay to pee in the mainpool, but it's not okay to pee
in the hot tub simply because ofthe sheer volume of water. Well that's
fair. Well, just because thatguy says it's okay doesn't make it okay.

(04:13):
Okay, So so pool everyone,Well there's different rules from different pool
officer. Andy, you're the onein the room who does not want to
pee in the pool in almost anycircumstances. So I'm never saying I've never
bet in the pool, but I'magainst paying in the pool. So if
I can get out and use thebathroom, I but I honestly think more
people agree with him than with youand I gp I do, or they're

(04:34):
like I said, or they're lying. That's see, that's the path.
Why would I do that? SoI'm not going to speak on on the
ladies behalf because obviously I wouldn't know, but on the on the massie of
things. When you get out ofthe pool, then you freaking swimsuits will
stuck to you, and then yougot you gotta figure out where your shoes
are, because I'm sure you putshoes on when you got pea in the

(04:55):
bathroom at the pool. Absolutely myslides. Yeah, yeah, right,
So the got to negotiate that andyou get in the pool, I mean,
excuse me in the bathroom and thenit's like it's like Fort Knox trying
to get your bathe in suit.It's like, oh god, just be
in the pool. If you're ina boat out in the middle of a
lake, you need to pee,You're going to jump in and pick There's

(05:19):
something weird about that though, Likethere's something weird about the whipping it out
and peeing off the side of aboat versus being in the water and being
isn't there. I do want togo back to an important point. So
you know, we have a mutualfriend that has a very nice pool.
I would not pee in his pool, but he says it's okay. I
still probably wouldn't do that, wouldyou not, Because that's a really good

(05:41):
question, the same reason why youshould never pee in any pool. Well,
I think it's I'm uncomfortable because it'smy bodies. But he says it's
yeah, I still probably wouldn't.I mean, you'll probably drop a deuce
in this pool, but you wantwell, especially especially in the hot let
it float. That's what chemicals arefor. But in the public pool,
I would definitely pee. It wouldbe interesting to see if the if the

(06:03):
um if women have the same pointof view, because I think women pay
more in pools. I would agreewith you. I would agree to Now
that's that's the fact that everybody sodon't. Women are easy to spot in
the pool pin because they kind ofno matter the depth of the water.
Now, hear me out, hearme out, Yeah, I'm scared.

(06:24):
Depending on the depth of the water, they'll go all the way down to
their neck. The water will comeup to their neck before they pee.
They won't stand in three foot ofwater, and they gotta get low.
They gotta get love because like I'venever thought about that in the pool I've
seen that happened at the beach,Like when my wife goes in when we're
at the beach. I mean she'syeah, she's like a little croodes looking
at because they're hiding, they're they'rekind of h my gosh, if I

(06:46):
got something to do this week whenI go to the club, what's what's
Jennifer doing him over there? She'sbarely head sticking out the water. Let
me ask the next obvious question.Not in a pool, but this would
have to be a lake or anocean. Have you ever taken an aqua
dump? No? Never have.I've never done that. Never have I
Yeah, that has way too manlylogistical constraints. I mean I've done it.

(07:11):
I've done it in the water.In the water. How does that
feel? It feels amazing. Didyou did you did? Did you fold
a scrunch? Yeah? No,it was like it was a situation.
I was in a lake. Itwas a situation where it was like,
this is happening right now. I'mnot going to be able to get back
onto the boat and go back intothe chore to use the bag. It's
not happening. Jump in the water, pull the suit down a little bit,

(07:32):
to your knees kind of your treadand water and let her rip.
I have so many questions, like, did you move like you saw you
were moving so you were kind ofspreading, so you were sitting. Do
you try to bring your knees upa little higher like you're in a sitting
position. I did, because thatis the ergonomic way to actually Or did
you like try to give yourself thehim, like the kind of pressure from

(07:57):
above. No, it was itwas an emergency situation. You didn't have
to. I mean it was,it was coming. It was there.
Yeah, it was there. Itwasn't like I sit there for twenty minutes.
Check your phone. I'm curious whatthe conversation was with your friends in
the boat pre and post incident.Um, I'm sure there wasn't any There
was no correct No, nobody knewI did it. It was just we're

(08:18):
all kind of swimming around. Ikind of went around to the front of
the boat. Oh no, Iwas like, I got this, I
gotta do this now. Wouldn't havebeen funny if someone starts swimming. Another
question that this bag's peeing in theshower. No, no, no,
no, no. My wife andI talk about this so you're pee in
the pool where the waters sits there. It's what you were in the shower.

(08:45):
Like you're, oh, I know, it's crazy, I'm stupid.
I'm sure, but like I thinkI know my wife because she tells me,
you know, and I'm like,oh, I can't. I just
can't do it. She does,though, my son, all three of
them. You don't. You don'tpee in a bath, but you're pee

(09:07):
in the shower. Don't be ina bath that any I don't pee in
any place. The purpose to goin is to clean yourself. Well,
you can clean after your pea well, but we clean it itself clean.
The water is coming down, it'sa lot goes to the same drain as.
The goal of a shower. Let'sall agree, is to clean yourself,
right. It isn't too pee andclean yourself. It's to get clean.

(09:31):
But first thing in the morning.Sometimes you step right into the shower.
But my toilet, it's the firstthing I walk into, not necessarily
be So here's the question. You'rein the shower, you're cleaning yourself,
as you call it, yeah,grooming, grooming, and you have a
dog and you have to pee toget at a shower, pee, get
back in the shower. None andnine times out of one hundred, I'll

(09:52):
just hold it because I don't likemy showers. Five minutes. Look,
I'm not in there like enjoying lifeother than if I have a beer.
But um, like I'm in andout, like I'm in, I'm what
I shall I clean myself? Iget ready. There's no time for a
pee. I I can't recall thelast time where I was like, oh
my god, I got to payin the shower because I'm in the water.

(10:15):
Normally the water hits you and doesn'tmake you want to pee immediately.
Yes, no, what every timeyou get in the show wall For me,
when the water hits me almost immediately, I want to pee. It's
actually one of life's simple pleasures ofpeeing in the shower because you don't have
to aim as a guy. Youaim to worry you just like on your

(10:37):
feet, on your feet and onyour feet, freaking caveman. J Peter,
how do they do it in Britain? They don't pee on your feet.
Perplexed with this whole notion that youguys think it's acceptable to go into
a place of cleanliness to clean yourselfto groom yourself. Well, okay,
let's address one of the best thoughtsyou guys have. I need can't wait

(10:58):
to pee. I cut, thisis the best. Now we'll hold on.
I don't use the shower to specificallypee, but if I have to
pee, I'm going to pee inthe shower. It's a it's a secondary
action in the shower. It's apart of it for me. I think
is the smell too, Yeah,smell, I like the Oh, that's
gross, disgusting. I don't knowwhat to say. Just so, No,

(11:18):
I wonder if it's more of acultural thing. You guys obviously grew
up peeing in the shower. Yeah, at some point you guys probably can't
recall, but at some point youhad some sort of interaction or permission from
your parents that it was okay todo that. No, I don't think
so. No, So it justorganically happens. And who's going to police

(11:39):
that as an adult? Like it'slike, well, you know, like
they maybe it's a conversation like petin the shower conversation, but that's not
a conversation. How is your day, honey? It was a success.
Took a shower this morning when maybeit's a cultural thing. Maybe it's an

(12:01):
interesting point. I will say,growing up in England when I did in
the kind of the eighties nineties,we took more baths and we did showers.
So it was never yeah, wellwe had a shower, but it
was more more prevalent for us tobath, Officer Andy, so rarely.
Andy's point, You know, youwould never pee in a bath, right,

(12:24):
because you're as you're using that,I'm hypothesizing that it was behaviorally because
I grew up bathing versus showering sopredominantly. So you're in a bath and
you have like a scrub brush andyou're doing the soaper, we would call
it a flannel, but like alike a washcloth, No, a washcloth

(12:45):
that you were soap up. Andyou know we call a washcloth a flannel.
What do you call that, OfficerAndy. It's a washack. Rag
is something that you you know,you clean a car with. It's clearly
a washack. How is it arag? It is a washcloth, it's
not a flannel. It's not arag. We should I think we should

(13:05):
cloth, we should go to Iagree, I think definitively also translate for
our English viewers, as a flannelas we go transatlantic with our podcast.
Okay, so I think you touchedon in a minute ago, officer Randy.
So you have to go number twowhile you're in the shower. Clearly
no one's doing that in the shower. Do you step they said no,
did you step out to do thatand then get back in? Do you

(13:30):
end your shower, go take careof business and then go on without your
day? You're going back. Wegot this is like this twice. This
is like twice in one episode thatwe've all agreed one hundred percent. I'm
good, I'm fully clean. Ican go and shave all which I don't
shave in the shower. I knowa lot of folks do I shave after
my shower? I too, Youshave after the shower? I do because

(13:52):
I you know, like it getstoo hot and then the mirror gets fogged
up, and then the if youuse shaving cream, fogged up, you
know, fugged up, like missedit up. Whatever, it's fucked up.
Well, what do you guys callit? When the mirror in the
shower up. It's all fucked up. This is an exhausting episode. It's
conly we need a dictionary, atranslational dictionary, American doing so we all

(14:13):
agree. So if you don't peein the shower, when you just pee
in a toilet like a normal person, Yeah, do you sit, sit
or do you stand to one hundredpercent stand? No scenario, I have
a scenario. I'm gonna stand.I'm a standard as I stand. Well,

(14:35):
I know I stand ninety nine percentof the time. Okay. The
only time that I will sit isif it's maybe a night after consumption,
well fogged up. I don't wantto turn the lights on to wake up.
I don't want to have to aim. I don't want to think.
I want to, in fact,keep my eyes closed while I do that.
I'll sit down, go back tobed. How about how about a

(14:56):
lean on the wall like the handon the wall. I like the lean
because I don't want to trimmle whiteon. If I trimmle white on,
I'm now awake. That's why youshould probably pay in the shower. Well,
it's still in the morning. Idon't want to wake up. See,
I just use the natural aura ofthe room and me being like,
I know where the toilet is,especially if you lift the lid, you

(15:20):
know where you're at well, ifyou do a little lean and you put
your hand on that kind of letsyou know the distance, and you're like,
you should be good to go.I don't want to think that much
at three in the morning. Again, I don't it's putting your hand out
on the wall. But then there'sstill some calculations. I mean, I
don't know how you light your bathroomis, but mine's pretty damn dark.
I don't have a night we havea little night light, so it's it's

(15:41):
not bright like but you can.But I'm kind of laughing inside because like
most of the time in that scenare, and my eyes are closed anyway,
Like I'm standing there at the topof my eyes glazed. So you'll just
deal with the mess later the closeI'm close enough and you can hear it
hit in the wall of the water. The little translation in the moment.

(16:03):
Here's a question related to peeing.What a great episode. Everybody Everyone's like,
yeah's talking about peeing. You're ata friend's house, right, Yeah,
we're out there having a good time. You go into the bathroom pee
Yes, I would bet one hundredpercent of the time you're standing up right

(16:26):
absolutely, Yeah, when you're finished, peeing because you've lifted lifted the lid.
Do you take a piece of toiletpaper and wipe the rim and clean
the toilet because you splash when youpee, if it's necessary, if there's
visible evidence of a miss. Notevery time, but yeah, if it's
I agree with Rath. Okay,okay, I was just checking in on
that one, because that's that's curdled, so a big, big deal.

(16:48):
I'll do that in my own thateverywhere. That's like wandered in my own
house. But others, what didyou guys have a breakfast this morning?
Uh? Oh god, that's it. I'm not good after. I need
to go first because if I say, well I do, you can't remember
you for breakfast? No, butyou guys will make fun of me.
So one exactly why we want toknow, would you have cereal? I've

(17:11):
been I've been intermittent fasting, soI don't eat breakfast. I try and
I drink coffee and drink water andwater, And so when do you eat?
You start like at ten eleven you'vedone the sixteen and eight fasting.
I don't know, it's too compcatand this math involved in that. I
just try and go from like eightat night, noon nish, no food,

(17:33):
sixteen no food? Is it working? Not really? So you're just
eating, You're just eating more ashorter yeah, just for my body kind
of on its toes. And Idon't do every day. But if I
was, let's say, if Iwas to have breakfast, I normally Again,
these guys are going to make funof me. I, you know,

(17:55):
have hard boiled egg, maybe alittle bit of like a turkey sausage
or something like that. Why notjust a basic bull of cereal. I
am not a fan of cereal.I'm not a good man. No,
no. In England, it wasnever a big thing in my household,
This is true. It was nevera really big thing in my household Cereal.

(18:15):
So, you know, one ofmy big observations coming over here,
honestly, was walking down the groceryaisland looking at the plethora of different flavors
and styles. And they didn't havefruity pebbles in the UK. Nope.
Really, here's the cereal selections thatI remember, so they were probably more.
There were cocoa puffs, roach crispies, shredded wheat and wheat, col

(18:37):
flakes, golflakes, no twigs,twigs. It's a candy bar. I
mean not twigs, tricks twas.I didn't have it a lot, but
when I did, it was,you know, milk cereal, fruit was
my order of operations to get that. You put the milk in first,
Yeah, for sure, one hundredpercent. You know, I actually how

(19:00):
much milk you have. Oh,let's put a bunch of cere and let's
just stop half a gallon of milkon top. Absolutely skim out like a
third of the cereal. Lift twothirds of cereal in the bowl and all
of the milk. Can throw itin the sink to get nice and warm
and gross. I think you shoulddo cereal in the bowl first, and
then you know exactly how much milkyou need because you go probably about a
niche or so underneath the cereal withthe milk. Don't pour the milk all

(19:22):
the way over the top. ButI like a higher milk threshold. Okay,
so I like about a niche belowat the top of the cereal.
You take your spoon and kind ofsmash the top of the cereal down,
and then you start eating favorite cerealGolden grams. We should have a tasting
yea eat that My son, Samhas that he's the only one. He's

(19:48):
the only person in my house allthese cereal. Michael doesn't, my wife
doesn't. I will eat cereal asa dessert, like I very rarely eat
it for breakfast. If I havemaybe an early dinner instead of having a
cookie or something like that, orice before bad or whatever, I'll have
a small bowl of cereal at nineo'clock at night. I'm not a poster.
Do you liked you put anything elsein your cereal? You probably should?

(20:08):
Please describe well if you if you'regoing to add anything to the cereal,
it should be something along those lines, maybe a honey bone or a
Swiss roll or please describe for mehow that system works. When you've got
a honeybun, So it's really easy. Honey bon in the bottom of the
bowl, squish it down, alittle bit cereal on top, come on,

(20:33):
then milk. You're making stuff up, and then when you eat it,
you get a little bit of honeybun with the cereal. So I'm
assuming the honeybun now. I knowyou guys have put sugar on your cereal
when you're a kid, of course, would you how would you eat that?
Cereus. You scrape the bottom ofthe bowl with every bite to get
a little bit of sugar. Yeah, but there's I didn't put sugar on
my cereal cereal like I put likelike rice Crispis. You didn't need it.

(20:55):
Race Crispi's one hundred percent. Youput sugar on my Just put light
banana in now something? Okay?Oh god, here we are, here,
we are We need the whole conversationabout the teasing. I get the
ridicule. So if you're gonna eata bowl of cereal and you're gonna put
milk on the cereal to hide whatever'sunderneath the milk, you should absolutely do
a honey bun or a Swiss roll. I've never heard of that. That's

(21:19):
what about twink Like you throw granolabar in there? No, no,
yes, I would do a granolabar before I did a honey chocolate cover
granola bar. Oh that's so gross. What are you talking about? Because
granola bar is a kind of hotand chewy, and we need to test
that one. Serrandy, have youever had grape nuts? Absolutely? Grape

(21:45):
nuts So growing up that was myfavorite cereal post grape nuts, which are
like little hard nuggets of like they'rethere. It like takes the skin off
the top of your mouth. Yes, it takes the navel off your teeth.
Yes, super super hard cereal,but delicious but with a little sugar.
And if you let them sit inthe milk for a minute before you

(22:07):
start eating, they're amazing. Infact, yes, I'm going to buy
some at this moment. They stillsell grape nuts, they do, and
they grape flavored. No, no, that's a great question. Why are
they freaking called the name? Butthat's kind of great flavored, but they're
not flavored like grapes. No,No, that's that's a buddy. It's
like a cluster kind of feeling.It's like it's a cinnamony or is it

(22:30):
just a it's a real No,there's not sweet sugar in them. They're
really it's really healthy. It's avery a lot of fiber. It's uh,
that's why you got a spice healthytwo of sugar making taste good.
Absolutely, they're hard though, they'relike hard little rocks. So here's another
thing. When you're done with thecereal, what do you do with the
milk? Well, so this ismy point, right, like, so

(22:51):
you're down with there's no more cereuin the bowl of milk. Milk.
That's why I keep going to myson about because milk's gotta be drank.
Yeah, honey, how do youfeel a drinking milk? Yes? Percent?
Yeah, that's why even if youfirst, because I know that it
makes me nuts, you've just wastedmilk and the flavor. That's the flavor

(23:11):
of the cereal that's yea and thesugar. Yeah. Let me ask you
guys a question because it's another thingthat comes up in my house about cereal.
You get to the bottom of thecinnamon checks right, and there's a
little bit of cinnamon left, likein the box of cere Yeah, okay,
but there's a bunch of powder andand like ground up cereal in the

(23:33):
bottom. You snort that stuff.That's that's the best part of the Will
take that bottom like like bottom levelof the cereum throwing in the trash.
Now, it drives me, Itdrives me nuts. That's the best part.
More than overflying the milk and leaveit in the sea. You want
to sprinkle that on a pop tart, that would be oh my god,
Hashtack nineteen ninety pop tart. Youwould want to sprinkle that on something and

(23:57):
eat that favorite favorite fait. Methodologyof consuming a pop tart, uh s'mores
pop tart cream cheese on top,chocolate chips sprinkled on top, the cream
cheese like cream cheese like Philadelphia creamcheesels, and then then the mic way
for about five six seven seconds andthen eat it. There's only one way

(24:18):
to eat a pop tart. Younever ever toast a pop tart ever.
You take it straight out of thefoil wrapper, and it's gotta be brown
sugar cinnamon pop tart playing out ofthe wrapper. Period. That's no,
yes, I like, no nosmarts. That's that's a newer this is
an older flavor. No, nostrawberry because it's a gross artificial flavor.

(24:44):
It's it's the cinnamon one, isn't. No, it's actually very act brown
sugar cinnamon. You know how theycame out with the incrustables, the peanut
butter and jellies, brown sandwiches.Yes, cut the crust off obviously,
Yeah, they should do with thatwith the pop tarts. You don't need
that outside edge. You just needthe filling part. But that's the crunch
of it. That's the healthy partFind us on Instagram at eat over the
