>> Tanner Ferguson (00:00):
Do you ever have somebody walk in here while you're here?
>> Hunter Hoover (00:01):
100% have.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:02):
Sweet. Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:03):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:04):
Just like Ben walk in here.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:05):
I don't think Ben will, um.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:08):
Do you have a sign on the door or anything?
>> Hunter Hoover (00:10):
Sometimes.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:11):
Okay. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:11):
Like, if I know that there's a lot of foot traffic.
Welcome back to privy. Privy is a
podcast about bathrooms
recorded this week. I am,
uh, off site. I'm at my bathroom
away from home. I'm, uh, in the church bathroom again, and I
am joined by none other than Tanner Ferguson.
(00:32):
Tanner, how are you?
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:33):
I'm doing so well. I'm honored to be in the
bathroom of our off site
church. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:40):
What do you. What? So, you walked in here
and what? Go ahead and
explain the vibe of this bathroom if you.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:48):
This is a quality bathroom. I mean,
I'm a church pastor myself. Spend, uh,
some quality time in some church bathrooms in my day,
and I I tell you, the stainless
steel, um. That's really nice.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:02):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:03):
Our church, we don't have. We don't got it like that,
man. We're kind of wood. Exciting. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:08):
That wood can get rough in due time.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:11):
This is nice, man. I don't know if the
podcast can hear the fans a little loud for my liking,
but I'm sure it serves. Is it
a good fan?
>> Hunter Hoover (01:21):
It doesn't do anything other than make that
noise. And I talked to our custodian, and I'm like,
so what are. What do I got to do to get? He goes, well, it's like a
redo. The electrical up inside the thing. Um, it's all
hooked to one.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:33):
It does not eliminate the smell. It's just for white
noise.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:36):
I have not found, I'm sure.
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:40):
I mean, sometimes the noise is helpful in the bathroom, though.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:42):
We got some people that'll come in Sunday morning, they'll blow it up,
and it's actually pretty impressive. Like,
um, you know, good for them. They're comfortable, I guess.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:51):
That's right. Yeah, that's right.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:53):
But, yeah. Your pastor, uh, you're
pastoring? Uh, it's still verbatim.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:58):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:58):
Perfect.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:59):
Yeah. So, yeah, I pastor at, uh, verbatim church. We're a Calvary
chapel here in Albany.
>> Hunter Hoover (02:04):
Awesome. Sweet. How long you been there and doing that?
>> Tanner Ferguson (02:06):
So, I've been at the church,
um, I don't know, since 2014,
and.
>> Hunter Hoover (02:13):
Wow.
>> Tanner Ferguson (02:13):
Um. Yeah, man, God kind of just called me
into ministry from just kind of attending
there. M over the years, just kind
of like, you know, I kind of jumped in right as
this, a new pastor kind of showed up and
started kind of doing a, quote
unquote, replant of the church,
and I remember showing up there.
(02:35):
Super. Uh, I was, like, the youngest guy there by,
like, I don't know, like 30 years or something,
and. But, you know when the Lord calls you somewhere and you
just know this is where you're supposed to be and.
>> Hunter Hoover (02:46):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (02:46):
Just started plugging in and. Yeah. Uh,
became kind, uh, of involved in children's ministry and
youth ministry, um,
2016, 2017, and
took, uh, over as lead pastor, uh,
last year. Year before.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:02):
Yeah, it's been a long bit now.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:03):
Yeah. Time flies. Yeah, I think it's been almost two years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:07):
That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:08):
Yeah, very cool.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:09):
Very cool. That's exciting. I know. Um, it's
been cool because I kind of came to Albany in
the youth thing, and you were doing
youth right around at that time, and it's just been cool
to see you move up into that role, for sure.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:24):
We've done some cool stuff together just as youth pastors.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:26):
Yeah, man, I do miss it. I miss.
There's still a few that stay connected and do stuff.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:33):
Uh, but it was a much tighter group about.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:35):
Yep, that's true.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:35):
It's kind of pre Covid.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:37):
Yeah, that's kind of the tale. As old as time, as far as
Covid goes, it. Um, still rebuilding some
things I'm going to shamelessly.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:44):
I don't know if he listens to this podcast, I'm going to shamelessly blame, uh,
rusty over at
south Albany community church for leaving because he was the
guy that was kind of like keeping that glue together.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:55):
Absolutely. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:56):
Rusty, if you're listening, it's your fault for moving
away.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:59):
Yeah, yeah. Hey, and, Rusty, if you're listening,
uh, thank you. Um, and also, I would
love to know how this came across your ears.
No, yeah. I do miss Rusty. I miss Rhett and
Rob, um, rob at neighborhood, he was the other one that was
like, a touchstone. Rob.
>> Tanner Ferguson (04:16):
Rob just moved back into the state. I heard he's, uh.
>> Hunter Hoover (04:18):
Yeah, he's done, like, Springfield or Redmond. Or
Redmond. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Redmond sounds more right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (04:23):
Uh, love you, too, Rob.
>> Hunter Hoover (04:24):
Yeah, yeah. I miss those guys, for
sure. And the dudes that are at the churches that they, you
know, they're doing great. It's just there was
that, like, kind of camaraderie, and as you come in, you.
You build your different circles, and it's a natural
thing. Yeah. But, yeah, well, see, I have. I
have a handful of questions, and, uh, like I said,
(04:44):
if you, as we go, are like, uh, yeah, I got
some stories to tell. Feel, uh, free to stop
me. You can interrupt and say, okay, just wait, wait,
wait. Um, so I'll kind of open it to you
at the beginning. Do you have, like, the bathroom
story? That is your go to bathroom story. And if not,
we can. We can proceed with some questions and see if we
(05:05):
spark anything.
>> Tanner Ferguson (05:05):
You know, it's. I actually. I don't
really have, like, a crazy
bathroom story.
>> Hunter Hoover (05:13):
Yeah, I guess that's nice.
>> Tanner Ferguson (05:15):
I remember being, like, a kid and, like, being
in my. Being in my grandparents house and,
like, at one point in time, just
using the bathroom and, like, their
house is just like. I mean, it's a. It's a manufactured
home, as old as I am. And, um,
just using the bathroom, and I remember, like,
(05:36):
the toilet just, like, broke. Like, I was like, I didn't
even know. Like, I was a kid. I was like, I didn't know toilet could just, like,
I'm talking, like, the porcelain just like, oh, really? Yeah. Like, part of
the porcelain just, like, broke off.
>> Hunter Hoover (05:47):
And I've never.
>> Tanner Ferguson (05:48):
They think that maybe there's, like, a hairline fracture in
the porcelain that has just gotten worse over time. And I was just, like,
the. I was, like, scarred for a
minute. I just don't know. I'm, like, a heavy. If you guys don't
know me, I'm a. I'm a heavy guy. I was just like,
I don't know.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:03):
You look at every toilet like this.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:05):
Like, toilets have weight settings.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:08):
Like, dude, there's times
like, I. I mean, I'm a bigger dude,
too. And there's times where I'll be. I'll be at someone's house
and, you know, they'll have the seat that's.
I'm going, this is a little bit. It feels a little bit
too.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:23):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:24):
Kind of thin, plastic, rickety. And I'm like, I don't know if this is for
me. Um, I go for it,
but you.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:31):
Gotta do what you gotta do.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:32):
Yeah, but, yeah, that's troubling as a kid,
too, because, I mean, bathrooms, one of those,
like, you just kind of have this, at least in our
culture here, like, it's almost a given. I mean,
if I'm in trouble, I'm never more
than 1015 minutes from the bathroom. And that's
even.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:49):
So I almost. Talking about good bathroom stories actually
almost became a good bathroom story
this weekend.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:56):
Oh, yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:57):
Uh, it's out at hunting camp,
and, you know, brought my son with me
for the first time. Hunting. Awesome. And, uh,
you know, I don't being out in the woods kind of
away. We're out hiking around and
that. Coffee hits. Yes, sir. Coffee hits about, you
know, 09:00 a.m. or something.
>> Hunter Hoover (07:15):
And right when you get out there, too.
>> Tanner Ferguson (07:17):
And I'm out. Yeah, I'm out in the woods. And I
realized that
I don't have my onx app
on my phone, which, you know, essentially just gps out there.
No service, right. And I found myself just
like, I knew we were only, like, uh,
uh, we were pretty close to, like,
civilization. We weren't way out in the woods or anything,
(07:39):
but, like, I got turned around enough
to go, I don't know where we're at. And I'm,
like, trying not to, like, freak my eleven year old son out and just
go, like, yeah, we're fine. We're completely lost right now.
Like, how much food did you bring?
Um, but, you know, perfect time for.
I got a poop.
>> Hunter Hoover (07:57):
It hits you.
>> Tanner Ferguson (07:58):
I got a poop.
>> Hunter Hoover (07:59):
Well, it always does that because your heart's going,
yeah, gosh, I'm lost, maybe lost.
And then it just gets.
>> Tanner Ferguson (08:06):
My heart's racing. And I realized, like, you know, another just
bonehead move didn't bring tp out to the woods.
You know, I was just like, I'm out in eastern Oregon. There's just
pine needles on the trees. Oh, yeah. I'm just
like, I'm about to, like, show my son about, you know,
hey, Mandev. Sometimes we got to lose a
sock or a sleeve or something. I'm about to tear a sleeve off this
(08:27):
shirt. Uh, luckily, just in
the nick of time, like, ended up running into
my hunting buddy. It was just like, dude, where's the road?
Right there. And I just v lined straight
for camp and made it with probably
seconds to spare.
>> Hunter Hoover (08:42):
Dad, why are we moving so fast? Don't worry about it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (08:45):
I'm not sure my son's ever seen me move that fast.
>> Hunter Hoover (08:48):
That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (08:49):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (08:49):
Well, glad you made it. Uh, there's nothing, I mean,
like, going to the bathroom in the woods is.
It's fine, but it's like,
it's never
maybe I'm like you. I will hold that for dear life
until it's absolutely.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:04):
I've had some really special moments doing business
out in the woods and some
really uncomfortable ones. So I think
it's. I think location. Location
matters. You know, if I like, man,
if you can catch a good sunrise, there's a perfect, like,
log sitting there that gives you that
perfect angle.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:24):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:25):
Um, you got the right supplies in your backpack to deal
with that whether it be just dude wipes or, or
otherwise, like, I think it can be a
magical experience. But, uh, oftentimes it's.
It's a, it's an emergency thing.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:38):
Yeah. So my buddy does, like, trail crew down
in, like, Arizona.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:42):
Yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:42):
And they'll throw a strap around a tree and, like, put it underneath
your arms and they'll just lean back and so it just
puts you in position. It just like. It's like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:50):
That's amazing.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:51):
Yeah. And he told me about that. I go, I'm gonna try it
someday. It'll. It'll happen. Um,
well, speed, so not. Didn't have tp out there.
Toilet, uh, paper preference at your house or do
you have a preference on toilet paper?
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:06):
You know, I. I think, uh,
we usually just buy the Costco stuff and that gets the job done.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:12):
That's right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:12):
You know, I'm not. I'm not necessarily gonna. I see a bunch of
angel soften. I'm just like, yeah.
You know, good church toilet paper.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:20):
Yeah. I'm confident he buys it because it has
the word angel for no other reason. Like, I'm confident
that he does.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:27):
Uh, that checks out more angel than soft,
too, so. But, yeah, no. Uh,
we're a Costco family and, uh, you
know.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:36):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:36):
I'm not gonna say it's overly, uh,
soft or anything, but, uh, it's the job done.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:41):
It's like. It's, like, perfectly down the.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:43):
Yeah. Yeah. For sure. That's.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:44):
That's what we're rocking to.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:45):
That's what we're looking for at Costco, though. Yeah. You know?
Yeah, exactly.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:49):
That's right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:49):
We're looking for a good deal. We're looking for a good
quality product.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:53):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:54):
If it's not up to par, I can bring it back.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:56):
That's right. I was just about to say, can you use half the pack and be
like, yeah, I don't know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:00):
These ones are kind of flaking on me. I'm not sure about this
anymore.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:04):
I had a buddy that. This is not really bathroom, but I had a buddy that
worked at Costco. Um, remember that?
Mikey? Mikey Johnston. You ever meet Mikey Johnson?
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:12):
I don't think so, dude.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:12):
I mean, for lack of a better way of explaining it, he's the guy that looked like Jesus.
Like, he had the long beard, long hair. I mean, he would
tell people, like, yeah, you know, Jesus is my savior.
I'm trying to look like, you know,
he, uh. But he would. He told me, like, the
stuff that they would have people bring back in their return policy. Like, half
drank milk. I mean, just absurd. I mean,
(11:33):
you're milking this, like, taking advantage.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:35):
Literally milking the stuff.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:36):
Literally milking it. But, yeah, yeah, just
absurd things that people would bring back.
Um. And I'm like, man.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:43):
Yeah, I can't remember what we had.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:44):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:45):
From Costco. That, like, absurdly, like,
definitely, like, our fault. We broke it. Like,
and somebody was like, oh, you bought that at Costco? Just take it. I was like, I'm
not doing that. That was saying, they'll take it back.
I'm just like, that's
also, like, that terrible policy if that's true. Like,
Costco. Come on. But, like,
(12:05):
also just, like, it's definitely my fault. Like, this is wear and
tear. Like, this is not Costco's fault.
Yeah, it's crazy, though. I've heard stories like that, though.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:14):
Yeah, it's wild. And, um, then with the toilet paper,
do y'all. Do y'all fold it over or do.
>> Tanner Ferguson (12:18):
You fold it under all day long? All day long. It was pretty
quick. Just. Next question. We're done. Um.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:24):
Why do you believe that's the correct way?
>> Tanner Ferguson (12:25):
It just is.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:26):
Okay.
>> Tanner Ferguson (12:26):
I don't know. Um. Um. It's
just kind of like God's ordering of the universe. Yeah, this is
how it goes. Yeah,
yeah. It's just like, I don't. Like. I don't know. Just like, you
know, get your hand up in there and try to dig it. Dig it
out. I was just like, you know, you just kind of
like, I don't know, maybe call me a neanderthal, but it's just
(12:46):
easier to just kind of like, what's fair. Yeah, from the
top. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:50):
Hey, that's the most, uh. In a
good way. That's the most simple answer, because everybody has, like,
I've heard all sorts of reasons from, oh, my cat.
Oh, I'm afraid of spiders hiding behind. I'm
like, spiders? Yeah. They're like, if I have
it like this, I can't see if there's a spider on the wall behind
it. And I'm like, or I'll. I hurt my knuckles
when I grab.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:10):
What's the more common answer that you get from people?
>> Hunter Hoover (13:13):
I'll be honest. The more common is what you've said. Okay,
overdose. I am.
I'm kind of agnostic. Like, I'm like, as long as it
lands on the roll, I'm like, yeah, we've
succeeded. But my wife is. She corrects
me. She puts it over. She's like, you did it wrong. And I said, it's
on it's on the thing.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:32):
Um, it's on there. Okay. Just be. It's not
sitting on the back of the seat.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:37):
That's what I used to do.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:38):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:38):
Or I would actually sit on the floor next to the toilet.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:41):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:41):
In college, we. That the dorm would run out of
toilet paper, so we would buy our own and take it to and from the room and
just.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:47):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:48):
Have it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:49):
And, you know, the thing gets. The spring gets lost
or, I don't know, you blown off the wall or
whatever.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:56):
Yeah, you can't get the paper.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:57):
I have a bathroom in my house right now that the holder's
not working correctly. Uh, you know,
maybe that's frustrating.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:06):
I'm so in the
bathroom world. Do you ever take snack into the
bathroom?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:12):
Snack? Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:14):
Snack or drink?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:16):
Uh, no,
but, uh, I'm not opposed to that. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:23):
What about, what about in the shower? Snack
or drink in the shower?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:29):
I feel like I've brought, like, cold water in
the shower.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shower drink is just kind of
like, it feels natural.
Not natural, but it feels,
I don't know, it feels less taboo, maybe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So are you. Are you
a bar soap or a liquid soap guy?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:49):
So I was liquid soap for years.
Liquid soap. I was, uh, actually, like,
axe. Snake peel.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:58):
Snake peel.
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:59):
Snake peel. It had all those, uh,
micro. Be the
microplastic things.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:05):
Yeah, yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:06):
And they banned it. Just cold cut. Banned it. Like,
you can't buy it anywhere anymore. It's like, it's more
illegal than drugs in Oregon, I'm pretty sure. Really?
Yeah. Um, not to get political.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:17):
What's going on?
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:19):
No, it's the environment. Those
microplastics are terrible for the environment, apparently. Oh,
gosh.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:25):
I see. I was on this whole different thing.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:27):
No, no. This is like, uh,
killing the turtles. Yeah. So
they, they axed. Literally. No pun
intended. They axed my. My. Your go to.
My go to. And so.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:40):
That's ridiculous.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:41):
Yeah. I kind of just, I went back to bar soap.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:44):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:44):
And just realized I'm saving a heap
ton of money now that, uh, uh, yeah. I'm
just like, you know, it. This is, this is cleaning me just fine.
So I'm back to bar soap. I use old, uh,
spice.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:57):
Yeah, old spice bar. Really?
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:59):
Yeah. Pretty good.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:00):
Even know they made a bar. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Do you ever, um. Um. Do you ever, like,
carve a message to anyone else in the bar soap?
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:08):
Get a minute.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:09):
You ever got a message?
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:10):
I have not.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:11):
Okay. You never know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:13):
Like, my bar soap is my bar soap that nobody
else uses it.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:17):
That's the correct.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:18):
Pretty sure my wife's using, uh, like
a. Like a. Still using, like, a
liquid.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:24):
Who knows?
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:24):
Yeah, who knows? I know she's got her stuff over
in one corner.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:28):
How many she got? How many different? Like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:30):
Oh, she's, uh, not too bad. She's got a couple for
her hair. Yeah. And then
she's.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:36):
Yeah, keep keeping it under.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:38):
Nothing crazy. Yeah. I feel like, you know,
a man that has a beard. Yeah.
Uh, as long as mine, you know. You know, the struggle. It's
like, I do have, like, my own.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:49):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:50):
Beard wash and then beard conditioner. Because it's different
from hair stuff.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:54):
Yes, it is.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:55):
Uh, and I don't have hairdousen, but I
do. I do shave my head.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:00):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:00):
And I have to shave it every, like, two days in the shower.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:03):
Really?
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:03):
Yeah, and I do it in the shower, so I feel like, you know,
when you add my shaving cream and, like, my
razor.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:09):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:10):
Like, I feel like I just have more stuff over
on my side than she does.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:15):
Yeah. Yeah. I've got about the same for. The beard
is the exact same reason. It's just. It's like. Well, I kind of
have to double up on some of these now.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:22):
That's right.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:23):
Um. Yeah. How do you feel about baths?
Taking baths.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:30):
The long side.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:31):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:33):
What's in a blue moon? Okay. Yeah. In a nice, big soak.
Like, again, it's kind of a big man problem. I don't. I don't
fit in a normal sized bathtub very easily.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:41):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:42):
Same, uh.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:42):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:43):
You know, but we have a good soaker tub at
home, and I'll jump in there every now and then.
But I.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:49):
Mine is always the length. Like.
Like, I'm not even that tall, but I always
feel like my legs. I don't know where to
stick my legs. Right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:59):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:00):
Like, it's been a while since I've even ventured.
I. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:04):
But I'm, you know, I love
a. Love a good hot tub.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:08):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:09):
Love a good hot tub. But that's just a little
bit more constricted.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:14):
Yeah. Yeah, it is different. Yeah. So, in the
shower, have you ever taken a dark shower? Just lights
off. Oh, let the ambiance ride.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:23):
I don't know. Um. It's a good
question.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:27):
Should try it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:28):
Okay, I'm gonna try it.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:30):
Are you a morning shower guy? I'm crying a lot here.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:32):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:33):
I'm like. I'm, like, mapping your day.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:35):
I love it. Here's my schedule.
No, yeah. Uh, I'm a morning shower guy.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:40):
For sure. My buddy in college,
he swore by a dark shower, and I never did it. And then
one day I went for it, and it was like. It
gave me another 20 minutes to wake up slow.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:52):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:52):
But. But, like, yeah, I don't know. And it's like
an almost like one of those sound echo chambers.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:58):
Interesting. I'll have to try it. I'm kind of like a, uh. I wake
up and go guy.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:02):
Oh, really?
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:03):
Yeah, I don't do the, like, snooze alarm thing.
Like, you know, all the lights in my house,
they have, like, the dimmer switch, and it, like, they drive
me crazy. I don't.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:13):
You're, like, full blown. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:14):
I'm just like, bring them on. Let's do this. Like,
getting done with this day.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:18):
Wow.
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:20):
And it drives my wife crazy. The
complete opposite. She's like. I'm like, why is this light.
Like, why is this light even on if it's not
giving light?
Um, because, yeah, she's. She'll walk around just,
like, dim lit lights and just, like, no
light on light or light off maximum
light. Yeah, I could try that.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:41):
Yeah. Yeah. It's, um,
in. There's, like, familiarity you don't like. I find I
don't need to see as much as I thought I did.
Have you ever eat?
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:50):
Would.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:51):
Well, you've already said you don't do a snack in the shower, but would you ever
consider eating an orange in the shower? As if it's
an apple? So, like, normally. Normally when you got the orange, you
kind of, you know, you got the plugs.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:02):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:02):
But, like, just. There's something like, you can't do this in the
wild because there's just so much juice.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:08):
Sure. Yeah, there's.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:10):
It's, like, zero consequences in the shower. You, like, let it
ride.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:13):
So when you say eat, uh, yeah, eat an orange. Like an
apple.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:16):
I peel it. Like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:21):
Orange peels. Not.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:22):
Yeah. You're like, the shower's not improving this.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:26):
Sure. Any shower is going to improve the taste of
orange peel. Um, the hawk.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:31):
Yeah, no, no. It's just like,
once it's peeled, you got the globe and you just.
Yeah, just let the juice, you
know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:41):
Yeah. Again, something to keep in mind.
My shower routine's gonna look so different tomorrow.
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:47):
Your wife's gonna be like, are these orange peels?
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:49):
And why are you in the dark eating an orange right
now? What's wrong?
>> Hunter Hoover (20:53):
Are you showering?
Yeah. Oh, my
goodness. Uh, do you have any bathroom pet peeves?
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:01):
20 bathroom pet peeves.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:05):
It could even be stuff that maybe the kids do. Kids
are so great. But, man, they got kids.
My kids, uh. I can kind of. My kids.
It's the toothpaste spit. It's like, just rinse it
down. You know, it. But I, um, guess I should be thankful
they're brushing their teeth.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:20):
Yeah, true that.
That's for sure.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:25):
For whatever reason.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:25):
It isn't.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:26):
Sure.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:27):
You know, just being the man of the household
and having two young daughters, I
am finding out, especially, I've got a
daughter who's, like, ten now. She's, uh, you
know, she's getting older.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:40):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:40):
Um, and
they. They do their hair with these little tiny rubber bands.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:46):
Oh, my goodness. Yes.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:48):
And I'm finding that those things just love to get stuck in
the drain.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:51):
Yep, yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:52):
So I, uh. Like, I actually went, like, a year
ago, went out and bought a snake.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:57):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:57):
Just like, I'm just. I'm constantly. Yeah, I use it all
the time. Like, yeah, like, the drain. It's
not. Not draining. I was just like, how many rubber bands am I gonna find in
that?
>> Hunter Hoover (22:06):
Right?
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:08):
I was like, I don't know how to get them to stop.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:09):
Yeah. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:11):
So.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:12):
Oh, uh, see, my. My daughter's still at the age
where one of us is
doing mostly it's my wife that does it, but is doing
the hair, getting it ready, getting unready and so hearing just
like, she's in kindergarten, so it's only a matter of time before
I'm buying my first drain snake.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:28):
Right? Yep.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:29):
Yep. It's gonna be.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:30):
Yeah. Let me know if you wanna come sample mine.
It's a pretty good one. Yeah. So.
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:36):
That's frustrating. Um,
especially when you get the, like, mat of hair. That's all. Yeah.
Um. That's great.
Does your wife have any pet peeves that are, like, you are the
source of that, you know, of that one's always.
You're like, nah,
this is like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:55):
Yeah, you know when you don't wipe the toothpaste. That's me.
Like, I'm kind of messing,
but, um. No, I
don't think so. Yeah. You know, I
guess, like, I leave stuff out on the counter,
which is like, she does too. But I feel like.
Yeah, it's different. Like, I don't know. For whatever reason, women get,
(23:16):
like, more space in the. Like,
it's like we have a bathroom. We've been blessed with, like, a dual
sink situation in the back.
>> Hunter Hoover (23:23):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (23:23):
And so it's like, I have my side, but, like,
yeah, I, uh, just. Yeah, it's like,
I can't leave stuff out on my side. Yeah. Oh, for sure.
At least. Like, I just, like, I got, like,
my deodorant out and, like, my beard oil,
and it's just like, why is this stuff out on the counter? It's like, you've got
35 things out here on the.
It's like, there's hair straight. There's four hair straighteners
(23:46):
out here. Why? Why?
>> Hunter Hoover (23:47):
100%.
>> Tanner Ferguson (23:48):
Yeah. Like, stuff on, like, all the way over
on the very edge of my side, and she's like, well, I
can see the mirror better over on this. I was like, what?
>> Hunter Hoover (23:57):
Yeah, so, yeah, for. Yeah, Anna and I.
So the. The above mirror lights.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:02):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:03):
So my side, which is where I do all my
stuff, two of those are out. So this is gonna. You're gonna
be like, are you kidding me right now? Low light. But I will
not replace them because I can still see.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:13):
Sure.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:14):
And she's like, just stop. Because sometimes I use it. You
need to replace it. I was like, just. You need to go over here
and. Yeah, so I'm constantly replacing
hers.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:23):
Put, like, black lights on your side.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:26):
Just see where all the weird spittle ended up.
Uh. Um, yeah. Have
you, uh. So this is. This is one of those
questions where I ask everybody, and some people are
like, oh, yeah, I'm very. I'm very dialed in with what's going on
here, but, um, have you ever performed a waffle
stomp? And. And I'll.
Do you know what a waffle stomp is?
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:47):
I believe. I I believe I'm familiar with the term,
and I will say confidently that I have not.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:54):
You have not?
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:54):
No.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:54):
So then the follow up question is.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:56):
Would you ever do it? I don't think so.
No, no, no.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:00):
You're.
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:01):
I mean, is there, like, a, uh.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:02):
Like, yeah, so, like, if. I mean, so if you had to go
poo middle of the shower.
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:06):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:07):
Are you turning off, getting out, doing
the job?
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:12):
I think I'm just gonna bear down and try to get through the shower and
then just handle business afterwards.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:18):
Do you ever do the deeper. Handle business and then feel like, I
really think I need to go back and revisit the shower time now
because I've re dirtied
enough?
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:27):
Yeah. Yeah. There's been moments. There's been
moments. Yeah. Okay, well, just
bear down. Yeah, yeah. I still think that
that's. I, uh, think, in my opinion, that's still better
solution than the
stomp.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:42):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:43):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:43):
So there's a third group of people that I have found in the world.
Um, thank God I have not
had face to face with one of these, and I'm if
you're getting ready to be the first. Here we are.
This, uh, will be more like confession than anything, then. But there's this
group of people that they are proponents of. Like,
you don't stomp it, but you just, like, you just do
(26:04):
the job, and then you kind of, like, scoot it back to the back of the
shower or in. And this is the most debased of
humanity to me. You actually catch it and try to, like,
around the corner. And. And this is a
thing that. It's one of those where you see
it and you read about it on the Internet, and I've. I.
This show has taken me to some strange
forums, but where
(26:26):
it's just like, who's in? Whose
thought was this? And they're like, well, it keeps the shower the
cleanest. And then you just wash your hands. And I'm like, no,
no, that's okay.
>> Tanner Ferguson (26:37):
Your.
>> Hunter Hoover (26:38):
Your response is no.
>> Tanner Ferguson (26:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's a no for me,
dog.
>> Hunter Hoover (26:44):
I'm, uh, stomping before I'm doing that
100%, maybe.
>> Tanner Ferguson (26:48):
Like, I feel like. I
feel like that's something
that, like, I would catch my, like, six year old son
doing and immediately discipline him for.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:00):
Right? A lot of times, like, kids with stuff
like that, it's like, hey, you didn't know what you
didn't know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:06):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:06):
Now you do know. Yeah, we can't find this again.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:09):
Yeah. I'm gonna tell one embarrassing story
from my son.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:13):
Yeah, absolutely.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:14):
And he'll hate me for it someday, but it's okay, you
know, son, I apologize
if you ever catch this podcast. Um,
man, my son just
thought, uh, he's. He's. He was six at
the time. He's seven now. Yeah, but just
a ham of a kid, man. Just
(27:35):
loves. Loves a good laugh. Just really into,
like, pranks.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:39):
That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:40):
And just still learning life, though, and
just thought it would be the funniest thing if he. If he
pooped in the. In the. In the trash. Uh,
can. Oh, no way. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:52):
Like, in the bathroom.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:53):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:53):
Well, you see me in the bathroom.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:54):
Yeah, it was just like. Just went to the trash can.
Yeah. Just walked into the bathroom,
was just like, that's poop in the trash can. Oh, my
gosh. Hey, buddy.
What's up with that?
>> Hunter Hoover (28:08):
Hey, buddy.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:08):
Just like, I just thought it'd be funny. I was like, it's not,
it's not.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:12):
Let's just categorically not funny.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:14):
Just never do that again. Just
never do that one again. So we threw the
trash can out his
punishment. He had to buy a new trash can for the bathroom.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:24):
Yeah, yeah, it's fair.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:26):
It's fair. Just like, yep. That's a learning experience.
It's not funny.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:30):
My son, every now and then, and he
went to the. He would go to the bathroom, and he'd go in, and
there was a time where he would pee into the shower. Like, not when
it's running. It would just be like, well, I don't want to mess with the
toilet and flushing and all that, so I'm just gonna. Right into the
bottom of the shower. And then he. And then he turned the water on. Turn it off,
like. And I get his process.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:51):
Sure.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:52):
And I'm like, here's the deal, son. That's not a thing
we do. Um,
and to his defense, he said, dad, you said, I can
pee in the shower. I said, I win your shower.
You got to be like, that's fine. I.
Yeah, at least that. I mean, here I
am. I'm, um. Yeah, I'm confessing a lot
(29:13):
there, but anyway. But, yeah, it's just like, you know, they
don't know what. They don't know for sure. Just
spark this. Because my son is. He is of
a different persuasion on this. When you do the toilet paper,
are you a crumple or are you a fold to wipe?
>> Tanner Ferguson (29:27):
What are we folding, guy?
>> Hunter Hoover (29:30):
Yes. As. Yes. So
this is one of those things where
some, like, learned habits are.
I mean, you know, like, the nature nurture. My
son's a crumpler. I don't know where it came from out and where that behavior
showed up. And I tried to course correct, and I'm like, hey,
buddy, um. Where'd you do that? I don't
(29:51):
know. I just like the way it feels.
>> Tanner Ferguson (29:52):
And I'm like, just, like, genetic.
>> Hunter Hoover (29:54):
I don't want to be in touch with the way it feels.
Like, I don't want that. He's like, yeah, it's got
more, like, stuff to grab the poop. That's his
reasoning. As a seven year old, he's seven.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:05):
So fair enough, I guess.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:06):
I'm like, dude, you're processing this on a level
that I have never. Yeah. How
many sheets you using?
Sometimes it depends on the job.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:16):
It really just depends on the job. My mood,
you know? Just.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:21):
Mood?
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:21):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:23):
You get too aggressive.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:24):
That's.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:24):
Yeah, you know, nobody wants that.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:26):
No. Just an ever changing
number.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:29):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:30):
Maybe. Maybe five. Yeah. Just
an average.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:34):
I find anywhere between three and six is, like, a, uh,
perfectly acceptable there. Yeah. And then there's the,
like, like, seven to 15
slicer, and I'm like, how do you not have to
plunge this every single time?
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:46):
Yeah, I'm not trying to plunge.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:49):
Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh, uh,
it's no good.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:53):
Um.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:53):
Um, that's. That is. That are my questions
for. For ya.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:57):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:58):
Well, actually, I do have one more. Uh, do you have, like,
a eating establishment that does you the
dirtiest?
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:06):
Hmm.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:07):
That you want to say? Sometimes people are like, listen, I'm in
too good with them, so, you know, don't want to. I
don't want to lose my spot.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:14):
The dirtiest.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:16):
Like, you're eating it, and, you know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:18):
You can clock just coming right through.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:20):
Two to 4 hours later, you're definitely,
you know, nothing.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:25):
Nothing that just. I mean, yeah. Uh, you
know, that's a great. Everybody says taco bell, and.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:31):
Yeah, a lot of people do.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:32):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:34):
And I. I just don't find that to be true.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:36):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:38):
Yeah. Taco Bell's pretty. Pretty gut friendly to
me these days.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:42):
Yeah. You know, I would say, like, you know,
that's just the nature of the food. Like,
uh, nothing.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:49):
You know, you're eating grease and cheese,
uh, beans.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:53):
Like, come on. Of course.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:54):
Right?
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:55):
Yeah. Uh, yeah. So, yeah, I would say nothing.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:58):
Nothing crazy.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:59):
Nothing crazy. That's good.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think when Dylan was on, he's
like, oh, yeah, panda express.
It was instant.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:07):
Dude eats panda express. So much to
just out him. We have to be
careful. He's a cop now.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:16):
Yeah, I know. I. Yeah, that's. That's a
whole other thing. I'm trying to get together with him, too, now that he started
doing that.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:22):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:23):
Um. Yeah, he's.
It's exciting.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:27):
M. It is.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:27):
Yeah. Maybe I record, you can share a little more.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:29):
What?
>> Hunter Hoover (32:30):
For sure, but, yeah. Yeah. Um, well, very good.
Do you have. Do you have any other parting stories or.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:36):
Hmm.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:38):
And usually what happens? I'll be honest, we end, and then it's like,
all right, we're done. And then, like, we've got something the next day.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:44):
Oh, I forgot.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:45):
And then it's like, well, you know, we'll part two. No.
Uh, and if not, that's
fine.
The sun in the trash cans. Pretty good.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:59):
Yeah. Pooping. Pooping the trash can. That's a. That
was a big one. I have, um. Um,
I meant to pull it up for you. It's buried in
Facebook land somewhere, but I actually have
a picture of what might have been my
first poop in an
actual, like, training potty
that, like, somebody took of me a long time ago.
(33:21):
Uh, so if I find it, you can. I don't know, post it.
That's thumbnail or something. Yeah. It's just
like, yeah, me chilling. And I actually have this little like karaoke
radio that I'm hanging out with. Yeah.
That's awesome. Yeah, just potty training, Tanner. So.
>> Hunter Hoover (33:36):
That's right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (33:38):
The good old days. Yes. Back when
life was simple.
>> Hunter Hoover (33:41):
That's right. That's awesome. Do you have any
parting bathroom wisdom to leave people with?
Any suggestions? Life advice from the bathroom?
>> Tanner Ferguson (33:50):
Parting bathroom wisdom. You know,
so as a pastor, I get
some of my best bible reading time
in, in, uh, the bathroom.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:00):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:01):
You know, really, I
try. I'm not always perfect at this, but I just
try to stay away from like, just doom scrolling
for sure. Um, so I've really tried,
especially, you know, in a high
vulnerability area to do that. The bathroom?
>> Hunter Hoover (34:19):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:20):
Uh, where you get caught up just, you know, watching YouTube
shorts or whatever. For so long. I've
tried to just like, replace some of that with just like, man, I'm just
gonna open up like some proverbs and read those or something
and have just found like, yeah, man, I've got
some really special scripture reading times in on the toilet. So
that's awesome. If you're trying to like, break that habit or just
looking to add, uh, some more, like, bible reading time
(34:42):
in, uh, use your time on the toilet.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:45):
Yeah. That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:46):
There's your bit of wisdom.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:47):
Yeah, that's, that's awesome. Uh,
that sparks something. I have to ask. So when you're
preaching.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:54):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:55):
Do you find that the urge hits you, like,
at. Not the worst time, but, like, at the
moment where you're. It's. It's like, I know I
have time to go, but if the job, like,
escalates past what I believe it to be,
there's gonna be this awkward moment.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:11):
Where, like, we gotta repeat
short guys.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:15):
The band quits playing and it's like,
where's he at? Cause that's when I preach. That's.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:21):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:21):
Uh, I don't know if it's just nerves or, like. Yeah,
it hits me at the weirdest time.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:26):
Yeah. You know, I worry about that
sometimes. Um, it's never, praise the Lord. It's
never, like, come up. Like,
literally never come up. Um,
yeah, but I do.
I try. Like, I try, like five minutes before
church starts to go use the bathroom.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:45):
Yeah. Commit to it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:46):
Yeah. Just like, you know, that's wise. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:49):
That's wise for everyone whether you're, you know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:51):
Yeah, just. That's what I'm trying to train my seven
year old son to do, you know? Hey, man, m just because you, uh. Uh.
Just because you don't absolutely,
100%, like, feel the urge to pee doesn't
mean you can't just.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:04):
It's okay to try.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:05):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:05):
Yep, yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:06):
You just. What? You know, hey, we're gonna be on the road for a little bit. You
can just pee right now.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:10):
Oh, my goodness. The road trip
bathrooms are like, that's one of my top pet
peeves. My whole family knows it. They
all roll their eyes because I will stop four
times in an hour sometimes. And I'm like, yeah, this simply
cannot be. And at some point, I finally
say, everybody
(36:30):
just hold it. We're going.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:31):
You ever have somebody walk in here while you're
walking?
>> Hunter Hoover (36:36):
Twice. I don't think Ben will.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:39):
Um. You have a sign on the door or anything?
>> Hunter Hoover (36:41):
Sometimes.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:42):
Okay. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:42):
Like, if I know that there's a lot of foot traffic. It's Friday night,
and. And I'm, like, the only one here on Friday evening.
Okay. Uh, no, I recorded one time,
and I think it might have been Chris Luckman. I don't know if you know
Chris. He's. I don't know. You guys are,
like, very similar people.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:58):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:59):
Yeah. Um, but we're in here,
and one of our, uh, deacons comes in. He goes,
huh? What are we doing in here, boys? And I'm like.
I mean, you can hear the whole thing in the background. I was like, oh, we're just
recording. He goes in the
bathroom, huh? And I'm like, yes, sir. He's
all right. Shuts the door, and I hear him to his
wife, Rosie. They're boys in the bathroom. And
(37:21):
I'm like, oh, my goodness. And Ben knows.
He's.
>> Tanner Ferguson (37:25):
Yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (37:25):
Ben's like, whatever. Just.
And normally, I do it in the back building, but,
uh, we have a. We have a young adult or a
youth group that's staying upstairs, and so they're using
the showers and stuff. And I was like, I don't know what they have in there. I'm not gonna mess
with it. And that fans just as bad. So,
you know, there you go. Well, cool. Well, I
(37:47):
appreciate you being here and doing this.
>> Tanner Ferguson (37:48):
Thank you for having me on. Is this the weirdest recording
for sure, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (37:52):
Cool. Perfect.
>> Tanner Ferguson (37:53):
Definitely. By far weirdest, uh, podcast I've
ever been part of, but I love it. Awesome.
>> Hunter Hoover (37:58):
Sweet. Uh, do you have anything, whether it's your church
or anything that you want to tell people about before I
say goodbye to folks?
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:05):
Uh, hey, if you don't have a church home,
man, east side church, where we're at right now is
a a great bible, uh, teaching church
and verbatim church up the street from here on 34th
street. Uh, our service is at 09:00 a.m. m. We'd love to have
you.
>> Hunter Hoover (38:20):
Awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:20):
What time's, uh, at 1030?
>> Hunter Hoover (38:22):
Yeah. Uh, we have an 845 and a 1030.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:25):
Cool. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (38:26):
And you guys are online, too.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:27):
We were online to YouTube and Facebook when.
They're not throwing us out for whatever strange
reason. For real?
>> Hunter Hoover (38:35):
Locking you down. I think they have tech
difficulties just because sometimes. Yeah.
Well, very good, man. Yeah. Thank you, Tanner, for, uh.
I'm gonna do the close out. I always tell people, I feel
like, when your dog is, like, pooping in the backyard.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:49):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (38:49):
And you can see it, and they're kind of, like, stuck in that.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:52):
Oh, yeah. Making eye contact with you.
>> Hunter Hoover (38:53):
Yep. So that's. That's me closing out the show every time I
have a guest. So, um, yeah, thank you all for listening.
Go check out verbatim church and Tanner and all the stuff
that he's got going on. Uh, this has been another episode of
privy. Thanks again for listening. Keep pooping in the free world. Own your
stink. And now don't forget to
flush. And then I get to wander over
(39:14):
here. This is
the part where people are like, wait, you do this every time?
Every time.
>> Tanner Ferguson (39:25):
Oh, nice.
Love it.
>> Hunter Hoover (39:31):
You got a soup up plush for these
purposes.
Do you ever have somebody walk in here while you're here?
>> Hunter Hoover (00:01):
100% have.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:02):
Sweet. Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:03):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:04):
Just like Ben walk in here.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:05):
I don't think Ben will, um.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:08):
Do you have a sign on the door or anything?
>> Hunter Hoover (00:10):
Sometimes.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:11):
Okay. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:11):
Like, if I know that there's a lot of foot traffic.
Welcome back to privy. Privy is a
podcast about bathrooms
recorded this week. I am,
uh, off site. I'm at my bathroom
away from home. I'm, uh, in the church bathroom again, and I
am joined by none other than Tanner Ferguson.
(00:32):
Tanner, how are you?
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:33):
I'm doing so well. I'm honored to be in the
bathroom of our off site
church. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (00:40):
What do you. What? So, you walked in here
and what? Go ahead and
explain the vibe of this bathroom if you.
>> Tanner Ferguson (00:48):
This is a quality bathroom. I mean,
I'm a church pastor myself. Spend, uh,
some quality time in some church bathrooms in my day,
and I I tell you, the stainless
steel, um. That's really nice.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:02):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:03):
Our church, we don't have. We don't got it like that,
man. We're kind of wood. Exciting. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:08):
That wood can get rough in due time.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:11):
This is nice, man. I don't know if the
podcast can hear the fans a little loud for my liking,
but I'm sure it serves. Is it
a good fan?
>> Hunter Hoover (01:21):
It doesn't do anything other than make that
noise. And I talked to our custodian, and I'm like,
so what are. What do I got to do to get? He goes, well, it's like a
redo. The electrical up inside the thing. Um, it's all
hooked to one.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:33):
It does not eliminate the smell. It's just for white
noise.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:36):
I have not found, I'm sure.
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:40):
I mean, sometimes the noise is helpful in the bathroom, though.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:42):
We got some people that'll come in Sunday morning, they'll blow it up,
and it's actually pretty impressive. Like,
um, you know, good for them. They're comfortable, I guess.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:51):
That's right. Yeah, that's right.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:53):
But, yeah. Your pastor, uh, you're
pastoring? Uh, it's still verbatim.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:58):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (01:58):
Perfect.
>> Tanner Ferguson (01:59):
Yeah. So, yeah, I pastor at, uh, verbatim church. We're a Calvary
chapel here in Albany.
>> Hunter Hoover (02:04):
Awesome. Sweet. How long you been there and doing that?
>> Tanner Ferguson (02:06):
So, I've been at the church,
um, I don't know, since 2014,
and.
>> Hunter Hoover (02:13):
Wow.
>> Tanner Ferguson (02:13):
Um. Yeah, man, God kind of just called me
into ministry from just kind of attending
there. M over the years, just kind
of like, you know, I kind of jumped in right as
this, a new pastor kind of showed up and
started kind of doing a, quote
unquote, replant of the church,
and I remember showing up there.
(02:35):
Super. Uh, I was, like, the youngest guy there by,
like, I don't know, like 30 years or something,
and. But, you know when the Lord calls you somewhere and you
just know this is where you're supposed to be and.
>> Hunter Hoover (02:46):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (02:46):
Just started plugging in and. Yeah. Uh,
became kind, uh, of involved in children's ministry and
youth ministry, um,
2016, 2017, and
took, uh, over as lead pastor, uh,
last year. Year before.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:02):
Yeah, it's been a long bit now.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:03):
Yeah. Time flies. Yeah, I think it's been almost two years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:07):
That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:08):
Yeah, very cool.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:09):
Very cool. That's exciting. I know. Um, it's
been cool because I kind of came to Albany in
the youth thing, and you were doing
youth right around at that time, and it's just been cool
to see you move up into that role, for sure.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:24):
We've done some cool stuff together just as youth pastors.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:26):
Yeah, man, I do miss it. I miss.
There's still a few that stay connected and do stuff.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:33):
Uh, but it was a much tighter group about.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:35):
Yep, that's true.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:35):
It's kind of pre Covid.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:37):
Yeah, that's kind of the tale. As old as time, as far as
Covid goes, it. Um, still rebuilding some
things I'm going to shamelessly.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:44):
I don't know if he listens to this podcast, I'm going to shamelessly blame, uh,
rusty over at
south Albany community church for leaving because he was the
guy that was kind of like keeping that glue together.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:55):
Absolutely. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (03:56):
Rusty, if you're listening, it's your fault for moving
away.
>> Hunter Hoover (03:59):
Yeah, yeah. Hey, and, Rusty, if you're listening,
uh, thank you. Um, and also, I would
love to know how this came across your ears.
No, yeah. I do miss Rusty. I miss Rhett and
Rob, um, rob at neighborhood, he was the other one that was
like, a touchstone. Rob.
>> Tanner Ferguson (04:16):
Rob just moved back into the state. I heard he's, uh.
>> Hunter Hoover (04:18):
Yeah, he's done, like, Springfield or Redmond. Or
Redmond. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Redmond sounds more right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (04:23):
Uh, love you, too, Rob.
>> Hunter Hoover (04:24):
Yeah, yeah. I miss those guys, for
sure. And the dudes that are at the churches that they, you
know, they're doing great. It's just there was
that, like, kind of camaraderie, and as you come in, you.
You build your different circles, and it's a natural
thing. Yeah. But, yeah, well, see, I have. I
have a handful of questions, and, uh, like I said,
(04:44):
if you, as we go, are like, uh, yeah, I got
some stories to tell. Feel, uh, free to stop
me. You can interrupt and say, okay, just wait, wait,
wait. Um, so I'll kind of open it to you
at the beginning. Do you have, like, the bathroom
story? That is your go to bathroom story. And if not,
we can. We can proceed with some questions and see if we
(05:05):
spark anything.
>> Tanner Ferguson (05:05):
You know, it's. I actually. I don't
really have, like, a crazy
bathroom story.
>> Hunter Hoover (05:13):
Yeah, I guess that's nice.
>> Tanner Ferguson (05:15):
I remember being, like, a kid and, like, being
in my. Being in my grandparents house and,
like, at one point in time, just
using the bathroom and, like, their
house is just like. I mean, it's a. It's a manufactured
home, as old as I am. And, um,
just using the bathroom, and I remember, like,
(05:36):
the toilet just, like, broke. Like, I was like, I didn't
even know. Like, I was a kid. I was like, I didn't know toilet could just, like,
I'm talking, like, the porcelain just like, oh, really? Yeah. Like, part of
the porcelain just, like, broke off.
>> Hunter Hoover (05:47):
And I've never.
>> Tanner Ferguson (05:48):
They think that maybe there's, like, a hairline fracture in
the porcelain that has just gotten worse over time. And I was just, like,
the. I was, like, scarred for a
minute. I just don't know. I'm, like, a heavy. If you guys don't
know me, I'm a. I'm a heavy guy. I was just like,
I don't know.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:03):
You look at every toilet like this.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:05):
Like, toilets have weight settings.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:08):
Like, dude, there's times
like, I. I mean, I'm a bigger dude,
too. And there's times where I'll be. I'll be at someone's house
and, you know, they'll have the seat that's.
I'm going, this is a little bit. It feels a little bit
too.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:23):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:24):
Kind of thin, plastic, rickety. And I'm like, I don't know if this is for
me. Um, I go for it,
but you.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:31):
Gotta do what you gotta do.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:32):
Yeah, but, yeah, that's troubling as a kid,
too, because, I mean, bathrooms, one of those,
like, you just kind of have this, at least in our
culture here, like, it's almost a given. I mean,
if I'm in trouble, I'm never more
than 1015 minutes from the bathroom. And that's
even.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:49):
So I almost. Talking about good bathroom stories actually
almost became a good bathroom story
this weekend.
>> Hunter Hoover (06:56):
Oh, yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (06:57):
Uh, it's out at hunting camp,
and, you know, brought my son with me
for the first time. Hunting. Awesome. And, uh,
you know, I don't being out in the woods kind of
away. We're out hiking around and
that. Coffee hits. Yes, sir. Coffee hits about, you
know, 09:00 a.m. or something.
>> Hunter Hoover (07:15):
And right when you get out there, too.
>> Tanner Ferguson (07:17):
And I'm out. Yeah, I'm out in the woods. And I
realized that
I don't have my onx app
on my phone, which, you know, essentially just gps out there.
No service, right. And I found myself just
like, I knew we were only, like, uh,
uh, we were pretty close to, like,
civilization. We weren't way out in the woods or anything,
(07:39):
but, like, I got turned around enough
to go, I don't know where we're at. And I'm,
like, trying not to, like, freak my eleven year old son out and just
go, like, yeah, we're fine. We're completely lost right now.
Like, how much food did you bring?
Um, but, you know, perfect time for.
I got a poop.
>> Hunter Hoover (07:57):
It hits you.
>> Tanner Ferguson (07:58):
I got a poop.
>> Hunter Hoover (07:59):
Well, it always does that because your heart's going,
yeah, gosh, I'm lost, maybe lost.
And then it just gets.
>> Tanner Ferguson (08:06):
My heart's racing. And I realized, like, you know, another just
bonehead move didn't bring tp out to the woods.
You know, I was just like, I'm out in eastern Oregon. There's just
pine needles on the trees. Oh, yeah. I'm just
like, I'm about to, like, show my son about, you know,
hey, Mandev. Sometimes we got to lose a
sock or a sleeve or something. I'm about to tear a sleeve off this
(08:27):
shirt. Uh, luckily, just in
the nick of time, like, ended up running into
my hunting buddy. It was just like, dude, where's the road?
Right there. And I just v lined straight
for camp and made it with probably
seconds to spare.
>> Hunter Hoover (08:42):
Dad, why are we moving so fast? Don't worry about it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (08:45):
I'm not sure my son's ever seen me move that fast.
>> Hunter Hoover (08:48):
That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (08:49):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (08:49):
Well, glad you made it. Uh, there's nothing, I mean,
like, going to the bathroom in the woods is.
It's fine, but it's like,
it's never
maybe I'm like you. I will hold that for dear life
until it's absolutely.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:04):
I've had some really special moments doing business
out in the woods and some
really uncomfortable ones. So I think
it's. I think location. Location
matters. You know, if I like, man,
if you can catch a good sunrise, there's a perfect, like,
log sitting there that gives you that
perfect angle.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:24):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:25):
Um, you got the right supplies in your backpack to deal
with that whether it be just dude wipes or, or
otherwise, like, I think it can be a
magical experience. But, uh, oftentimes it's.
It's a, it's an emergency thing.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:38):
Yeah. So my buddy does, like, trail crew down
in, like, Arizona.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:42):
Yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:42):
And they'll throw a strap around a tree and, like, put it underneath
your arms and they'll just lean back and so it just
puts you in position. It just like. It's like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (09:50):
That's amazing.
>> Hunter Hoover (09:51):
Yeah. And he told me about that. I go, I'm gonna try it
someday. It'll. It'll happen. Um,
well, speed, so not. Didn't have tp out there.
Toilet, uh, paper preference at your house or do
you have a preference on toilet paper?
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:06):
You know, I. I think, uh,
we usually just buy the Costco stuff and that gets the job done.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:12):
That's right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:12):
You know, I'm not. I'm not necessarily gonna. I see a bunch of
angel soften. I'm just like, yeah.
You know, good church toilet paper.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:20):
Yeah. I'm confident he buys it because it has
the word angel for no other reason. Like, I'm confident
that he does.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:27):
Uh, that checks out more angel than soft,
too, so. But, yeah, no. Uh,
we're a Costco family and, uh, you
know.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:36):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:36):
I'm not gonna say it's overly, uh,
soft or anything, but, uh, it's the job done.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:41):
It's like. It's, like, perfectly down the.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:43):
Yeah. Yeah. For sure. That's.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:44):
That's what we're rocking to.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:45):
That's what we're looking for at Costco, though. Yeah. You know?
Yeah, exactly.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:49):
That's right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:49):
We're looking for a good deal. We're looking for a good
quality product.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:53):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (10:54):
If it's not up to par, I can bring it back.
>> Hunter Hoover (10:56):
That's right. I was just about to say, can you use half the pack and be
like, yeah, I don't know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:00):
These ones are kind of flaking on me. I'm not sure about this
anymore.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:04):
I had a buddy that. This is not really bathroom, but I had a buddy that
worked at Costco. Um, remember that?
Mikey? Mikey Johnston. You ever meet Mikey Johnson?
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:12):
I don't think so, dude.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:12):
I mean, for lack of a better way of explaining it, he's the guy that looked like Jesus.
Like, he had the long beard, long hair. I mean, he would
tell people, like, yeah, you know, Jesus is my savior.
I'm trying to look like, you know,
he, uh. But he would. He told me, like, the
stuff that they would have people bring back in their return policy. Like, half
drank milk. I mean, just absurd. I mean,
(11:33):
you're milking this, like, taking advantage.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:35):
Literally milking the stuff.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:36):
Literally milking it. But, yeah, yeah, just
absurd things that people would bring back.
Um. And I'm like, man.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:43):
Yeah, I can't remember what we had.
>> Hunter Hoover (11:44):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (11:45):
From Costco. That, like, absurdly, like,
definitely, like, our fault. We broke it. Like,
and somebody was like, oh, you bought that at Costco? Just take it. I was like, I'm
not doing that. That was saying, they'll take it back.
I'm just like, that's
also, like, that terrible policy if that's true. Like,
Costco. Come on. But, like,
(12:05):
also just, like, it's definitely my fault. Like, this is wear and
tear. Like, this is not Costco's fault.
Yeah, it's crazy, though. I've heard stories like that, though.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:14):
Yeah, it's wild. And, um, then with the toilet paper,
do y'all. Do y'all fold it over or do.
>> Tanner Ferguson (12:18):
You fold it under all day long? All day long. It was pretty
quick. Just. Next question. We're done. Um.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:24):
Why do you believe that's the correct way?
>> Tanner Ferguson (12:25):
It just is.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:26):
Okay.
>> Tanner Ferguson (12:26):
I don't know. Um. Um. It's
just kind of like God's ordering of the universe. Yeah, this is
how it goes. Yeah,
yeah. It's just like, I don't. Like. I don't know. Just like, you
know, get your hand up in there and try to dig it. Dig it
out. I was just like, you know, you just kind of
like, I don't know, maybe call me a neanderthal, but it's just
(12:46):
easier to just kind of like, what's fair. Yeah, from the
top. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (12:50):
Hey, that's the most, uh. In a
good way. That's the most simple answer, because everybody has, like,
I've heard all sorts of reasons from, oh, my cat.
Oh, I'm afraid of spiders hiding behind. I'm
like, spiders? Yeah. They're like, if I have
it like this, I can't see if there's a spider on the wall behind
it. And I'm like, or I'll. I hurt my knuckles
when I grab.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:10):
What's the more common answer that you get from people?
>> Hunter Hoover (13:13):
I'll be honest. The more common is what you've said. Okay,
overdose. I am.
I'm kind of agnostic. Like, I'm like, as long as it
lands on the roll, I'm like, yeah, we've
succeeded. But my wife is. She corrects
me. She puts it over. She's like, you did it wrong. And I said, it's
on it's on the thing.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:32):
Um, it's on there. Okay. Just be. It's not
sitting on the back of the seat.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:37):
That's what I used to do.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:38):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:38):
Or I would actually sit on the floor next to the toilet.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:41):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:41):
In college, we. That the dorm would run out of
toilet paper, so we would buy our own and take it to and from the room and
just.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:47):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:48):
Have it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:49):
And, you know, the thing gets. The spring gets lost
or, I don't know, you blown off the wall or
whatever.
>> Hunter Hoover (13:56):
Yeah, you can't get the paper.
>> Tanner Ferguson (13:57):
I have a bathroom in my house right now that the holder's
not working correctly. Uh, you know,
maybe that's frustrating.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:06):
I'm so in the
bathroom world. Do you ever take snack into the
bathroom?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:12):
Snack? Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:14):
Snack or drink?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:16):
Uh, no,
but, uh, I'm not opposed to that. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:23):
What about, what about in the shower? Snack
or drink in the shower?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:29):
I feel like I've brought, like, cold water in
the shower.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shower drink is just kind of
like, it feels natural.
Not natural, but it feels,
I don't know, it feels less taboo, maybe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So are you. Are you
a bar soap or a liquid soap guy?
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:49):
So I was liquid soap for years.
Liquid soap. I was, uh, actually, like,
axe. Snake peel.
>> Hunter Hoover (14:58):
Snake peel.
>> Tanner Ferguson (14:59):
Snake peel. It had all those, uh,
micro. Be the
microplastic things.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:05):
Yeah, yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:06):
And they banned it. Just cold cut. Banned it. Like,
you can't buy it anywhere anymore. It's like, it's more
illegal than drugs in Oregon, I'm pretty sure. Really?
Yeah. Um, not to get political.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:17):
What's going on?
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:19):
No, it's the environment. Those
microplastics are terrible for the environment, apparently. Oh,
gosh.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:25):
I see. I was on this whole different thing.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:27):
No, no. This is like, uh,
killing the turtles. Yeah. So
they, they axed. Literally. No pun
intended. They axed my. My. Your go to.
My go to. And so.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:40):
That's ridiculous.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:41):
Yeah. I kind of just, I went back to bar soap.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:44):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:44):
And just realized I'm saving a heap
ton of money now that, uh, uh, yeah. I'm
just like, you know, it. This is, this is cleaning me just fine.
So I'm back to bar soap. I use old, uh,
spice.
>> Hunter Hoover (15:57):
Yeah, old spice bar. Really?
>> Tanner Ferguson (15:59):
Yeah. Pretty good.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:00):
Even know they made a bar. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Do you ever, um. Um. Do you ever, like,
carve a message to anyone else in the bar soap?
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:08):
Get a minute.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:09):
You ever got a message?
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:10):
I have not.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:11):
Okay. You never know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:13):
Like, my bar soap is my bar soap that nobody
else uses it.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:17):
That's the correct.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:18):
Pretty sure my wife's using, uh, like
a. Like a. Still using, like, a
liquid.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:24):
Who knows?
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:24):
Yeah, who knows? I know she's got her stuff over
in one corner.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:28):
How many she got? How many different? Like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:30):
Oh, she's, uh, not too bad. She's got a couple for
her hair. Yeah. And then
she's.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:36):
Yeah, keep keeping it under.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:38):
Nothing crazy. Yeah. I feel like, you know,
a man that has a beard. Yeah.
Uh, as long as mine, you know. You know, the struggle. It's
like, I do have, like, my own.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:49):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:50):
Beard wash and then beard conditioner. Because it's different
from hair stuff.
>> Hunter Hoover (16:54):
Yes, it is.
>> Tanner Ferguson (16:55):
Uh, and I don't have hairdousen, but I
do. I do shave my head.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:00):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:00):
And I have to shave it every, like, two days in the shower.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:03):
Really?
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:03):
Yeah, and I do it in the shower, so I feel like, you know,
when you add my shaving cream and, like, my
razor.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:09):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:10):
Like, I feel like I just have more stuff over
on my side than she does.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:15):
Yeah. Yeah. I've got about the same for. The beard
is the exact same reason. It's just. It's like. Well, I kind of
have to double up on some of these now.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:22):
That's right.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:23):
Um. Yeah. How do you feel about baths?
Taking baths.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:30):
The long side.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:31):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:33):
What's in a blue moon? Okay. Yeah. In a nice, big soak.
Like, again, it's kind of a big man problem. I don't. I don't
fit in a normal sized bathtub very easily.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:41):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:42):
Same, uh.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:42):
Yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:43):
You know, but we have a good soaker tub at
home, and I'll jump in there every now and then.
But I.
>> Hunter Hoover (17:49):
Mine is always the length. Like.
Like, I'm not even that tall, but I always
feel like my legs. I don't know where to
stick my legs. Right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (17:59):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:00):
Like, it's been a while since I've even ventured.
I. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:04):
But I'm, you know, I love
a. Love a good hot tub.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:08):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:09):
Love a good hot tub. But that's just a little
bit more constricted.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:14):
Yeah. Yeah, it is different. Yeah. So, in the
shower, have you ever taken a dark shower? Just lights
off. Oh, let the ambiance ride.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:23):
I don't know. Um. It's a good
question.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:27):
Should try it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:28):
Okay, I'm gonna try it.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:30):
Are you a morning shower guy? I'm crying a lot here.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:32):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:33):
I'm like. I'm, like, mapping your day.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:35):
I love it. Here's my schedule.
No, yeah. Uh, I'm a morning shower guy.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:40):
For sure. My buddy in college,
he swore by a dark shower, and I never did it. And then
one day I went for it, and it was like. It
gave me another 20 minutes to wake up slow.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:52):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (18:52):
But. But, like, yeah, I don't know. And it's like
an almost like one of those sound echo chambers.
>> Tanner Ferguson (18:58):
Interesting. I'll have to try it. I'm kind of like a, uh. I wake
up and go guy.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:02):
Oh, really?
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:03):
Yeah, I don't do the, like, snooze alarm thing.
Like, you know, all the lights in my house,
they have, like, the dimmer switch, and it, like, they drive
me crazy. I don't.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:13):
You're, like, full blown. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:14):
I'm just like, bring them on. Let's do this. Like,
getting done with this day.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:18):
Wow.
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:20):
And it drives my wife crazy. The
complete opposite. She's like. I'm like, why is this light.
Like, why is this light even on if it's not
giving light?
Um, because, yeah, she's. She'll walk around just,
like, dim lit lights and just, like, no
light on light or light off maximum
light. Yeah, I could try that.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:41):
Yeah. Yeah. It's, um,
in. There's, like, familiarity you don't like. I find I
don't need to see as much as I thought I did.
Have you ever eat?
>> Tanner Ferguson (19:50):
Would.
>> Hunter Hoover (19:51):
Well, you've already said you don't do a snack in the shower, but would you ever
consider eating an orange in the shower? As if it's
an apple? So, like, normally. Normally when you got the orange, you
kind of, you know, you got the plugs.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:02):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:02):
But, like, just. There's something like, you can't do this in the
wild because there's just so much juice.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:08):
Sure. Yeah, there's.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:10):
It's, like, zero consequences in the shower. You, like, let it
ride.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:13):
So when you say eat, uh, yeah, eat an orange. Like an
apple.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:16):
I peel it. Like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:21):
Orange peels. Not.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:22):
Yeah. You're like, the shower's not improving this.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:26):
Sure. Any shower is going to improve the taste of
orange peel. Um, the hawk.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:31):
Yeah, no, no. It's just like,
once it's peeled, you got the globe and you just.
Yeah, just let the juice, you
know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:41):
Yeah. Again, something to keep in mind.
My shower routine's gonna look so different tomorrow.
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (20:47):
Your wife's gonna be like, are these orange peels?
>> Tanner Ferguson (20:49):
And why are you in the dark eating an orange right
now? What's wrong?
>> Hunter Hoover (20:53):
Are you showering?
Yeah. Oh, my
goodness. Uh, do you have any bathroom pet peeves?
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:01):
20 bathroom pet peeves.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:05):
It could even be stuff that maybe the kids do. Kids
are so great. But, man, they got kids.
My kids, uh. I can kind of. My kids.
It's the toothpaste spit. It's like, just rinse it
down. You know, it. But I, um, guess I should be thankful
they're brushing their teeth.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:20):
Yeah, true that.
That's for sure.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:25):
For whatever reason.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:25):
It isn't.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:26):
Sure.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:27):
You know, just being the man of the household
and having two young daughters, I
am finding out, especially, I've got a
daughter who's, like, ten now. She's, uh, you
know, she's getting older.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:40):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:40):
Um, and
they. They do their hair with these little tiny rubber bands.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:46):
Oh, my goodness. Yes.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:48):
And I'm finding that those things just love to get stuck in
the drain.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:51):
Yep, yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:52):
So I, uh. Like, I actually went, like, a year
ago, went out and bought a snake.
>> Hunter Hoover (21:57):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (21:57):
Just like, I'm just. I'm constantly. Yeah, I use it all
the time. Like, yeah, like, the drain. It's
not. Not draining. I was just like, how many rubber bands am I gonna find in
that?
>> Hunter Hoover (22:06):
Right?
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:08):
I was like, I don't know how to get them to stop.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:09):
Yeah. Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:11):
So.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:12):
Oh, uh, see, my. My daughter's still at the age
where one of us is
doing mostly it's my wife that does it, but is doing
the hair, getting it ready, getting unready and so hearing just
like, she's in kindergarten, so it's only a matter of time before
I'm buying my first drain snake.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:28):
Right? Yep.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:29):
Yep. It's gonna be.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:30):
Yeah. Let me know if you wanna come sample mine.
It's a pretty good one. Yeah. So.
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (22:36):
That's frustrating. Um,
especially when you get the, like, mat of hair. That's all. Yeah.
Um. That's great.
Does your wife have any pet peeves that are, like, you are the
source of that, you know, of that one's always.
You're like, nah,
this is like.
>> Tanner Ferguson (22:55):
Yeah, you know when you don't wipe the toothpaste. That's me.
Like, I'm kind of messing,
but, um. No, I
don't think so. Yeah. You know, I
guess, like, I leave stuff out on the counter,
which is like, she does too. But I feel like.
Yeah, it's different. Like, I don't know. For whatever reason, women get,
(23:16):
like, more space in the. Like,
it's like we have a bathroom. We've been blessed with, like, a dual
sink situation in the back.
>> Hunter Hoover (23:23):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (23:23):
And so it's like, I have my side, but, like,
yeah, I, uh, just. Yeah, it's like,
I can't leave stuff out on my side. Yeah. Oh, for sure.
At least. Like, I just, like, I got, like,
my deodorant out and, like, my beard oil,
and it's just like, why is this stuff out on the counter? It's like, you've got
35 things out here on the.
It's like, there's hair straight. There's four hair straighteners
(23:46):
out here. Why? Why?
>> Hunter Hoover (23:47):
100%.
>> Tanner Ferguson (23:48):
Yeah. Like, stuff on, like, all the way over
on the very edge of my side, and she's like, well, I
can see the mirror better over on this. I was like, what?
>> Hunter Hoover (23:57):
Yeah, so, yeah, for. Yeah, Anna and I.
So the. The above mirror lights.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:02):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:03):
So my side, which is where I do all my
stuff, two of those are out. So this is gonna. You're gonna
be like, are you kidding me right now? Low light. But I will
not replace them because I can still see.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:13):
Sure.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:14):
And she's like, just stop. Because sometimes I use it. You
need to replace it. I was like, just. You need to go over here
and. Yeah, so I'm constantly replacing
hers.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:23):
Put, like, black lights on your side.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:26):
Just see where all the weird spittle ended up.
Uh. Um, yeah. Have
you, uh. So this is. This is one of those
questions where I ask everybody, and some people are
like, oh, yeah, I'm very. I'm very dialed in with what's going on
here, but, um, have you ever performed a waffle
stomp? And. And I'll.
Do you know what a waffle stomp is?
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:47):
I believe. I I believe I'm familiar with the term,
and I will say confidently that I have not.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:54):
You have not?
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:54):
No.
>> Hunter Hoover (24:54):
So then the follow up question is.
>> Tanner Ferguson (24:56):
Would you ever do it? I don't think so.
No, no, no.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:00):
You're.
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:01):
I mean, is there, like, a, uh.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:02):
Like, yeah, so, like, if. I mean, so if you had to go
poo middle of the shower.
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:06):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:07):
Are you turning off, getting out, doing
the job?
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:12):
I think I'm just gonna bear down and try to get through the shower and
then just handle business afterwards.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:18):
Do you ever do the deeper. Handle business and then feel like, I
really think I need to go back and revisit the shower time now
because I've re dirtied
enough?
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:27):
Yeah. Yeah. There's been moments. There's been
moments. Yeah. Okay, well, just
bear down. Yeah, yeah. I still think that
that's. I, uh, think, in my opinion, that's still better
solution than the
stomp.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:42):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (25:43):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (25:43):
So there's a third group of people that I have found in the world.
Um, thank God I have not
had face to face with one of these, and I'm if
you're getting ready to be the first. Here we are.
This, uh, will be more like confession than anything, then. But there's this
group of people that they are proponents of. Like,
you don't stomp it, but you just, like, you just do
(26:04):
the job, and then you kind of, like, scoot it back to the back of the
shower or in. And this is the most debased of
humanity to me. You actually catch it and try to, like,
around the corner. And. And this is a
thing that. It's one of those where you see
it and you read about it on the Internet, and I've. I.
This show has taken me to some strange
forums, but where
(26:26):
it's just like, who's in? Whose
thought was this? And they're like, well, it keeps the shower the
cleanest. And then you just wash your hands. And I'm like, no,
no, that's okay.
>> Tanner Ferguson (26:37):
Your.
>> Hunter Hoover (26:38):
Your response is no.
>> Tanner Ferguson (26:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's a no for me,
dog.
>> Hunter Hoover (26:44):
I'm, uh, stomping before I'm doing that
100%, maybe.
>> Tanner Ferguson (26:48):
Like, I feel like. I
feel like that's something
that, like, I would catch my, like, six year old son
doing and immediately discipline him for.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:00):
Right? A lot of times, like, kids with stuff
like that, it's like, hey, you didn't know what you
didn't know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:06):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:06):
Now you do know. Yeah, we can't find this again.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:09):
Yeah. I'm gonna tell one embarrassing story
from my son.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:13):
Yeah, absolutely.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:14):
And he'll hate me for it someday, but it's okay, you
know, son, I apologize
if you ever catch this podcast. Um,
man, my son just
thought, uh, he's. He's. He was six at
the time. He's seven now. Yeah, but just
a ham of a kid, man. Just
(27:35):
loves. Loves a good laugh. Just really into,
like, pranks.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:39):
That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:40):
And just still learning life, though, and
just thought it would be the funniest thing if he. If he
pooped in the. In the. In the trash. Uh,
can. Oh, no way. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:52):
Like, in the bathroom.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:53):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (27:53):
Well, you see me in the bathroom.
>> Tanner Ferguson (27:54):
Yeah, it was just like. Just went to the trash can.
Yeah. Just walked into the bathroom,
was just like, that's poop in the trash can. Oh, my
gosh. Hey, buddy.
What's up with that?
>> Hunter Hoover (28:08):
Hey, buddy.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:08):
Just like, I just thought it'd be funny. I was like, it's not,
it's not.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:12):
Let's just categorically not funny.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:14):
Just never do that again. Just
never do that one again. So we threw the
trash can out his
punishment. He had to buy a new trash can for the bathroom.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:24):
Yeah, yeah, it's fair.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:26):
It's fair. Just like, yep. That's a learning experience.
It's not funny.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:30):
My son, every now and then, and he
went to the. He would go to the bathroom, and he'd go in, and
there was a time where he would pee into the shower. Like, not when
it's running. It would just be like, well, I don't want to mess with the
toilet and flushing and all that, so I'm just gonna. Right into the
bottom of the shower. And then he. And then he turned the water on. Turn it off,
like. And I get his process.
>> Tanner Ferguson (28:51):
Sure.
>> Hunter Hoover (28:52):
And I'm like, here's the deal, son. That's not a thing
we do. Um,
and to his defense, he said, dad, you said, I can
pee in the shower. I said, I win your shower.
You got to be like, that's fine. I.
Yeah, at least that. I mean, here I
am. I'm, um. Yeah, I'm confessing a lot
(29:13):
there, but anyway. But, yeah, it's just like, you know, they
don't know what. They don't know for sure. Just
spark this. Because my son is. He is of
a different persuasion on this. When you do the toilet paper,
are you a crumple or are you a fold to wipe?
>> Tanner Ferguson (29:27):
What are we folding, guy?
>> Hunter Hoover (29:30):
Yes. As. Yes. So
this is one of those things where
some, like, learned habits are.
I mean, you know, like, the nature nurture. My
son's a crumpler. I don't know where it came from out and where that behavior
showed up. And I tried to course correct, and I'm like, hey,
buddy, um. Where'd you do that? I don't
(29:51):
know. I just like the way it feels.
>> Tanner Ferguson (29:52):
And I'm like, just, like, genetic.
>> Hunter Hoover (29:54):
I don't want to be in touch with the way it feels.
Like, I don't want that. He's like, yeah, it's got
more, like, stuff to grab the poop. That's his
reasoning. As a seven year old, he's seven.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:05):
So fair enough, I guess.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:06):
I'm like, dude, you're processing this on a level
that I have never. Yeah. How
many sheets you using?
Sometimes it depends on the job.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:16):
It really just depends on the job. My mood,
you know? Just.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:21):
Mood?
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:21):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:23):
You get too aggressive.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:24):
That's.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:24):
Yeah, you know, nobody wants that.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:26):
No. Just an ever changing
number.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:29):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:30):
Maybe. Maybe five. Yeah. Just
an average.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:34):
I find anywhere between three and six is, like, a, uh,
perfectly acceptable there. Yeah. And then there's the,
like, like, seven to 15
slicer, and I'm like, how do you not have to
plunge this every single time?
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:46):
Yeah, I'm not trying to plunge.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:49):
Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh, uh,
it's no good.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:53):
Um.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:53):
Um, that's. That is. That are my questions
for. For ya.
>> Tanner Ferguson (30:57):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (30:58):
Well, actually, I do have one more. Uh, do you have, like,
a eating establishment that does you the
dirtiest?
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:06):
Hmm.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:07):
That you want to say? Sometimes people are like, listen, I'm in
too good with them, so, you know, don't want to. I
don't want to lose my spot.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:14):
The dirtiest.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:16):
Like, you're eating it, and, you know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:18):
You can clock just coming right through.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:20):
Two to 4 hours later, you're definitely,
you know, nothing.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:25):
Nothing that just. I mean, yeah. Uh, you
know, that's a great. Everybody says taco bell, and.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:31):
Yeah, a lot of people do.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:32):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:34):
And I. I just don't find that to be true.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:36):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:38):
Yeah. Taco Bell's pretty. Pretty gut friendly to
me these days.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:42):
Yeah. You know, I would say, like, you know,
that's just the nature of the food. Like,
uh, nothing.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:49):
You know, you're eating grease and cheese,
uh, beans.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:53):
Like, come on. Of course.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:54):
Right?
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:55):
Yeah. Uh, yeah. So, yeah, I would say nothing.
>> Hunter Hoover (31:58):
Nothing crazy.
>> Tanner Ferguson (31:59):
Nothing crazy. That's good.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think when Dylan was on, he's
like, oh, yeah, panda express.
It was instant.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:07):
Dude eats panda express. So much to
just out him. We have to be
careful. He's a cop now.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:16):
Yeah, I know. I. Yeah, that's. That's a
whole other thing. I'm trying to get together with him, too, now that he started
doing that.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:22):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:23):
Um. Yeah, he's.
It's exciting.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:27):
M. It is.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:27):
Yeah. Maybe I record, you can share a little more.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:29):
What?
>> Hunter Hoover (32:30):
For sure, but, yeah. Yeah. Um, well, very good.
Do you have. Do you have any other parting stories or.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:36):
Hmm.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:38):
And usually what happens? I'll be honest, we end, and then it's like,
all right, we're done. And then, like, we've got something the next day.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:44):
Oh, I forgot.
>> Hunter Hoover (32:45):
And then it's like, well, you know, we'll part two. No.
Uh, and if not, that's
fine.
The sun in the trash cans. Pretty good.
>> Tanner Ferguson (32:59):
Yeah. Pooping. Pooping the trash can. That's a. That
was a big one. I have, um. Um,
I meant to pull it up for you. It's buried in
Facebook land somewhere, but I actually have
a picture of what might have been my
first poop in an
actual, like, training potty
that, like, somebody took of me a long time ago.
(33:21):
Uh, so if I find it, you can. I don't know, post it.
That's thumbnail or something. Yeah. It's just
like, yeah, me chilling. And I actually have this little like karaoke
radio that I'm hanging out with. Yeah.
That's awesome. Yeah, just potty training, Tanner. So.
>> Hunter Hoover (33:36):
That's right.
>> Tanner Ferguson (33:38):
The good old days. Yes. Back when
life was simple.
>> Hunter Hoover (33:41):
That's right. That's awesome. Do you have any
parting bathroom wisdom to leave people with?
Any suggestions? Life advice from the bathroom?
>> Tanner Ferguson (33:50):
Parting bathroom wisdom. You know,
so as a pastor, I get
some of my best bible reading time
in, in, uh, the bathroom.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:00):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:01):
You know, really, I
try. I'm not always perfect at this, but I just
try to stay away from like, just doom scrolling
for sure. Um, so I've really tried,
especially, you know, in a high
vulnerability area to do that. The bathroom?
>> Hunter Hoover (34:19):
Yeah.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:20):
Uh, where you get caught up just, you know, watching YouTube
shorts or whatever. For so long. I've
tried to just like, replace some of that with just like, man, I'm just
gonna open up like some proverbs and read those or something
and have just found like, yeah, man, I've got
some really special scripture reading times in on the toilet. So
that's awesome. If you're trying to like, break that habit or just
looking to add, uh, some more, like, bible reading time
(34:42):
in, uh, use your time on the toilet.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:45):
Yeah. That's awesome.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:46):
There's your bit of wisdom.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:47):
Yeah, that's, that's awesome. Uh,
that sparks something. I have to ask. So when you're
preaching.
>> Tanner Ferguson (34:54):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (34:55):
Do you find that the urge hits you, like,
at. Not the worst time, but, like, at the
moment where you're. It's. It's like, I know I
have time to go, but if the job, like,
escalates past what I believe it to be,
there's gonna be this awkward moment.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:11):
Where, like, we gotta repeat
short guys.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:15):
The band quits playing and it's like,
where's he at? Cause that's when I preach. That's.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:21):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:21):
Uh, I don't know if it's just nerves or, like. Yeah,
it hits me at the weirdest time.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:26):
Yeah. You know, I worry about that
sometimes. Um, it's never, praise the Lord. It's
never, like, come up. Like,
literally never come up. Um,
yeah, but I do.
I try. Like, I try, like five minutes before
church starts to go use the bathroom.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:45):
Yeah. Commit to it.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:46):
Yeah. Just like, you know, that's wise. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (35:49):
That's wise for everyone whether you're, you know.
>> Tanner Ferguson (35:51):
Yeah, just. That's what I'm trying to train my seven
year old son to do, you know? Hey, man, m just because you, uh. Uh.
Just because you don't absolutely,
100%, like, feel the urge to pee doesn't
mean you can't just.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:04):
It's okay to try.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:05):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:05):
Yep, yep.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:06):
You just. What? You know, hey, we're gonna be on the road for a little bit. You
can just pee right now.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:10):
Oh, my goodness. The road trip
bathrooms are like, that's one of my top pet
peeves. My whole family knows it. They
all roll their eyes because I will stop four
times in an hour sometimes. And I'm like, yeah, this simply
cannot be. And at some point, I finally
say, everybody
(36:30):
just hold it. We're going.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:31):
You ever have somebody walk in here while you're
walking?
>> Hunter Hoover (36:36):
Twice. I don't think Ben will.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:39):
Um. You have a sign on the door or anything?
>> Hunter Hoover (36:41):
Sometimes.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:42):
Okay. Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:42):
Like, if I know that there's a lot of foot traffic. It's Friday night,
and. And I'm, like, the only one here on Friday evening.
Okay. Uh, no, I recorded one time,
and I think it might have been Chris Luckman. I don't know if you know
Chris. He's. I don't know. You guys are,
like, very similar people.
>> Tanner Ferguson (36:58):
Okay.
>> Hunter Hoover (36:59):
Yeah. Um, but we're in here,
and one of our, uh, deacons comes in. He goes,
huh? What are we doing in here, boys? And I'm like.
I mean, you can hear the whole thing in the background. I was like, oh, we're just
recording. He goes in the
bathroom, huh? And I'm like, yes, sir. He's
all right. Shuts the door, and I hear him to his
wife, Rosie. They're boys in the bathroom. And
(37:21):
I'm like, oh, my goodness. And Ben knows.
He's.
>> Tanner Ferguson (37:25):
Yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (37:25):
Ben's like, whatever. Just.
And normally, I do it in the back building, but,
uh, we have a. We have a young adult or a
youth group that's staying upstairs, and so they're using
the showers and stuff. And I was like, I don't know what they have in there. I'm not gonna mess
with it. And that fans just as bad. So,
you know, there you go. Well, cool. Well, I
(37:47):
appreciate you being here and doing this.
>> Tanner Ferguson (37:48):
Thank you for having me on. Is this the weirdest recording
for sure, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (37:52):
Cool. Perfect.
>> Tanner Ferguson (37:53):
Definitely. By far weirdest, uh, podcast I've
ever been part of, but I love it. Awesome.
>> Hunter Hoover (37:58):
Sweet. Uh, do you have anything, whether it's your church
or anything that you want to tell people about before I
say goodbye to folks?
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:05):
Uh, hey, if you don't have a church home,
man, east side church, where we're at right now is
a a great bible, uh, teaching church
and verbatim church up the street from here on 34th
street. Uh, our service is at 09:00 a.m. m. We'd love to have

>> Tanner Ferguson (38:27):
We were online to YouTube and Facebook when.
They're not throwing us out for whatever strange
reason. For real?
>> Hunter Hoover (38:35):
Locking you down. I think they have tech
difficulties just because sometimes. Yeah.
Well, very good, man. Yeah. Thank you, Tanner, for, uh.
I'm gonna do the close out. I always tell people, I feel
like, when your dog is, like, pooping in the backyard.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:49):
Yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover (38:49):
And you can see it, and they're kind of, like, stuck in that.
>> Tanner Ferguson (38:52):
Oh, yeah. Making eye contact with you.
>> Hunter Hoover (38:53):
Yep. So that's. That's me closing out the show every time I
have a guest. So, um, yeah, thank you all for listening.
Go check out verbatim church and Tanner and all the stuff
that he's got going on. Uh, this has been another episode of
privy. Thanks again for listening. Keep pooping in the free world. Own your
stink. And now don't forget to
flush. And then I get to wander over
(39:14):
here. This is
the part where people are like, wait, you do this every time?
Every time.
>> Tanner Ferguson (39:25):
Oh, nice.
Love it.
>> Hunter Hoover (39:31):
You got a soup up plush for these
purposes.
