>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: I've seen people eat, like, steaks, like, many steaks in the shower, and they post it on their facebook, and they're like, I'm in America, so I think it's steak. >> Hunter Hoover: Who are these people? Welcome back to privy. Privy is a podcast about bathrooms recorded from my home bathroom. I'm your host, Hunter Hoover, and I'm joined this week, uh, in home restroom. Uh, is this the weirdest
outing you've had to someone's house? You could. It's fine. >> Shaloah Powell: A little bit. >> Hunter Hoover: Awesome. >> Shaloah Powell: A little bit. >> Hunter Hoover: I'm joined by Shaloah Powell. I almost, uh, said your maiden name, and then. Yeah, that's all right. >> Shaloah Powell: I'll take both. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. I knew you for so long prior to being wed, but now you are very much wed, so. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, almost two years.
>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah. Like, December will be too, right? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, it'll be due beginning of December. >> Hunter Hoover: That's wild. Yep. It flies by. So how are you? You are? >> Shaloah Powell: I'm good. I'm good. I feel very pregnant. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Yeah. Jason has. Jason has shared a bit about your process, but I'm sure, uh, it's different coming from you. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, yeah.
>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, is the 95 degree outside that I complain about, is it? It's probably just fine with that in pregnancy and nothing's bad. >> Shaloah Powell: Well, I did have a fainting problem that I had to resolve with my provider, but, um, due to the heat, so not exactly. >> Hunter Hoover: Do you guys have ac? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. That's. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, I'm good inside.
>> Hunter Hoover: Okay. That's good work. >> Shaloah Powell: Has aC. Home has ac. We're perfect. >> Hunter Hoover: Good. Okay. Um, and do you want to share a little bit about your job? I don't know if you can. Jason's not allowed to talk about his job. And some people are like, yeah, I. >> Shaloah Powell: Love talking about Jason Sherburne. And I. Can I change names and genders and ages, but because I have to comply
with HIPAA. But I am a dental front desk at, um, a very busy clinic because, you know, hot tip. If you have, uh, oHP and you live in Oregon, there's a shortage of dentists, so make an appointment because we're booked into April. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that makes sense, because our dentist, they don't even like our insurance. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, and now most places don't take united healthcare, so we're one of the few that do.
>> Hunter Hoover: Ah, I remember the United days. We had united when I worked in Salem. We liked it. It was good. >> Shaloah Powell: Uh, as someone who, uh, sends out the claims, you're like, no, they're liars. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, really? >> Shaloah Powell: Um, you like, we'll give them the doctor's note and all the things they need, and then they're like, you never gave us that.
You never sent out the pre auth. We're gonna deny this claim. And then you have, like, a sweet old lady fighting $3,000 that was denied. They said they'd approve for three months until they're like, okay, I guess we'll pay it. >> Hunter Hoover: That's awful. >> Shaloah Powell: So they deserved it. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. That sucks when it's like, like older folks that are on fixed income that get taken advantage of by that. Ah, that's awful.
>> Shaloah Powell: It's always the sweet old medicare ladies that they screw over. >> Hunter Hoover: Do you see that pretty frequently there? Yeah, that sucks. That would make me angry at, uh, I guess, my government. I don't know. It's easy to be mad at the government. >> Shaloah Powell: Well, that's the nice thing about ohp, is they're very clear about what they do and don't pay. >> Hunter Hoover: Right.
>> Shaloah Powell: And then if they aren't clear about it, they're like, oh, we weren't clear about it, so we'll pay that. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. So, so working in the dentist's front desk, have you ever had, like, has anybody had. I have to ask. Has anybody ever had a bathroom accident in the dentist's office? >> Shaloah Powell: Oh, yeah. Mostly little kids that they get scared or, um, one thing we'll do is like, oh, mom
needs to get a filling. Couldn't get a babysitter. We're like, oh, uh, your kid's, like, seven. It's fine. They can color in the lobby. As long as they don't have needs. They can hang out with you in the room. They can hang out in the lobby. It's a very small clinic, so it's, like, right there. But there are a few times where the kid, like, doesn't want to ask, and then they just end up peeing themselves. >> Hunter Hoover: So I guess, oh, my gosh.
>> Shaloah Powell: Um. Or, like, we've had some other folk, like, you know, you get pregnant ladies in the chair and older folks, but those, we don't talk about those ones. You pretend those don't exist. Just the little kid ones exist. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, we. There was a. Yeah, we had a lady where I work at the school had an accident one time, and we just. Everybody just pretended like it didn't exist. It was the best path forward.
>> Shaloah Powell: I mean, I've had an accident at work, so. No, I did. >> Hunter Hoover: Did you call jason? >> Shaloah Powell: So I had really, really bad. So my first trimester every day had a two to four hour window where I could eat. And if it wasn't that window? I was constantly throwing up. So one day I threw up so hard that it came out my nose and I peed myself. It was a very bad day. >> Hunter Hoover: So you threw up so hard that you peed your pants?
>> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, I threw up really hard. Like, I was throwing out joints while I was throwing up. Cause it's like a full, it's a full body experience. Like, you're shaking. Throwing. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Um. Uh, yeah, I remember. Yeah. Has it gotten better, the throwing up? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: Now. Now if I do it, it's just cause of acid reflux.
>> Hunter Hoover: Fun. >> Shaloah Powell: We're good. >> Hunter Hoover: Fun. Yeah. When. Yeah, I remember when Anna was pregnant, especially with Silas, it was. She would think about just moving, and for, like, the first five, six months, would just throw up. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. I do have time. Snap. Because before, like, uh, you'd have all the sickness beforehand, so you'd know. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah.
>> Shaloah Powell: But now if I do it, there's no warning. It just happens. So my neighbors got a nice show the other morning, but if you, uh. >> Hunter Hoover: Got dead drop yak sacks all over our house, so. >> Shaloah Powell: Oh, perfect. >> Hunter Hoover: If the vomit urge hits, feel free to just shout that out. >> Shaloah Powell: Thank you. >> Hunter Hoover: Uh, although if you did skeet it just all over this, it would be a first.
>> Shaloah Powell: I mean, it wouldn't be the first time I've thrown up on someone. >> Hunter Hoover: And the audio would be one of a kind. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, I buy you a new microphone. A new microphone cover, maybe? >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Uh, no, you're good. Um, does anything specific give you, like. So Jason said that in his most recent little outing, he shared that applebee's is, like, now a game changer for me.
>> Shaloah Powell: So bad. So with my. I have hypermobile Ehlers Stanlos syndrome, so my collagen looks like spaghetti. Everything's really. But then my organs don't hold up super well, so I get constipated a lot during pregnancy. I haven't been constipated as I fixed it. Yeah. So now things like really sugary coffee drinks. Don't worry, guys. It's decaf. >> Hunter Hoover: M. Even if it wasn't, it's. Anna's doctor was like, yeah, just drink the coffee. You're gonna be fine.
>> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Granted, Sarah's wild, so, I mean, you. >> Shaloah Powell: Can have, like, 200 milligrams a day, so. Huh. Applebee's. Um, it's been a learning experience. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Uh, yeah. Uh, it just was funny. Cause I had always complained to Jason about. Cause we go after yam. And then I would text him and say, dude, why? Why did we do this. And then he said, yeah, I'm kind of there with you now.
>> Shaloah Powell: The last time we went to Applebee's together, made me kind of wish we had two bathrooms. That was. Yeah, like, there was a schedule. Especially when we'd both be sick, um, when I was in first trimester. Cause then I'm constantly. So I. Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Uh, um, this is the vomit days. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, I threw up in the kitchen sink quite a bit. >> Hunter Hoover: No, you just gotta kick Jason out of the bathroom.
>> Shaloah Powell: Look, if there's something I'd rather clean up, it would, like, it would be my vomit out of the sink and nothing. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh. >> Shaloah Powell: Anything else off of any other surface? >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Yeah, he's. He's got it going on, I guess. M. He told me too much. Uh, he told me to ask. He said, ask her about my bathroom problems. >> Shaloah Powell: Oh, perfect.
>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Uh, I don't know if I need to do that, though. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Uh, it's. It can happen with roundup. When you're farming for so many years, you can get leaky gut. >> Hunter Hoover: You think that's what's going on? >> Shaloah Powell: Oh, totally. >> Hunter Hoover: Really? >> Shaloah Powell: Like, yeah, uh, he doesn't have a diagnosis because they're like, oh, we
want to do all this tests and stuff. Like, I'm like, no, I'll just feed you as if you have leaky gut. And then he does a lot better. And then if we go out and eat, sometimes it just doesn't go well. >> Hunter Hoover: What is. I don't. Does it leak on the inside? >> Shaloah Powell: I'm trying to remember. >> Hunter Hoover: It sounds bad. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, like, it can get set off by certain types of dairy and, like, especially fried food.
>> Hunter Hoover: Um, it almost sounds like kind of gallbladderish. I don't know. Anna had gallbladder problems years back, and that was, like, fried food was game over. >> Shaloah Powell: It. Oh, yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: It just, like, was awful. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, but I have to eat pretty autoimmune friendly right now anyway, so.
>> Hunter Hoover: What is that? So you have to explain, uh, these alternative diets, because I pretty much eat like a middle school boy still. >> Shaloah Powell: So I'm not eating gluten or a lot of grain right now, and I'm not eating any processed sugars. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: And then as I get closer to pregnancy, I have to stay away from any foods that can be inflammatory towards my disorders.
Um, so I'll have to cut out certain vegetables, and I might have to cut out, um, more types of dairy and grain as a whole, depending on how bad my inflammation gets weird, or else my symptoms are way worse and my whole body's just the vegetables. Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: I feel like, they. Huh? Huh? Yeah. You hear that? Don't. Some vegetables are bad for you. >> Shaloah Powell: That's not true. Don't listen to him. >> Hunter Hoover: That's what I've learned.
>> Shaloah Powell: Don't eat my diet. It's made specifically for people with crappy genetics like mine. >> Hunter Hoover: Huh. Yeah. So do your parents have ehlers stanlows? >> Shaloah Powell: Um, so we. So my cousin on my dad's side has it, and my biological sister has it. Um, my mom has had a lot of symptoms over the years, but never got a diagnosis, so we don't really quite know. >> Hunter Hoover: Interesting.
>> Shaloah Powell: Um, but, like, we have a lot of autoimmune disorder stuff. Like, my dad can't have the top nine allergens, and then, like, certain vegetables, you can't have, um, dark meat. >> Hunter Hoover: Huh. That's wild. >> Shaloah Powell: Huh. >> Hunter Hoover: Uh, wow. >> Shaloah Powell: So do you. >> Hunter Hoover: So the. Like, that Ehlers Danlos and all of these autoimmune, they're pretty tied to, like, gut health bathroom life a little
bit. Cause I always thought, like, I'm gonna. >> Shaloah Powell: Have to get my first colonoscopy at 30 wild node. Yeah, that's what. Well, that's what my dad's doctor told him. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, gosh. >> Shaloah Powell: And I figured I should probably listen. Like, no one on my dad's side of the family has their gallbladder, so. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, I, uh. Yeah, I know that day is in the future for me. I prefer to. I like to think that it's at least however many
years. Ten plus. Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: You're like, okay, you'll have to, um. Maybe one day in the future when you're post colonoscopy. >> Shaloah Powell: I think. I think giving birth before having a colonoscopy is gonna. I think it won't be as bad as long as they have a good team. My crappy provider changes everything. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Are you. I don't know how to ask this question, so
I'm just gonna ask it, and if it's like, no, that's not it. Are you excited for, like, the whole, like, having a baby thing? >> Shaloah Powell: Um, well, I am really scared, um, in the way that, like, my ribs have been dislocating a lot. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, and my knees. Ah. And, like, hips dislocate more. So I'm worried that, like, while I'm giving birth, it's gonna be. And the rib kicks, I'm scared about those. I, um, am very excited.
Um, but, yes, also, um, I did just come from a birthing class, so I feel a little extra terrified. >> Hunter Hoover: No. >> Shaloah Powell: Because I'm informed of just how much I have to do. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. I mean, so, obviously, I'm sitting on the cheerleader side of it, but it does seem. I mean, it seems pretty taxing. >> Shaloah Powell: I mean, yeah. Uh, I'm excited. Um, yeah, as long as I get a baby out of it, we'll be good.
>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, yeah. So, yeah, that'd be awesome. That's kind of so. Okay, you can. I think you'll be as, like. Okay, shut up. As much as Anna is, um, but I have told her. So, like, kidney stones and men who pass kidney stones. >> Shaloah Powell: Yes, I have seen that secondhand very much. >> Hunter Hoover: Uh, I'm convinced that that is worse
than having a baby. And the reason I. And the reason I say that is I think the process of baby pushing is worse, but the emotional, like, benefit of it helps that along where for, like, if you're a guy and you pass a kidney stone, it's awful and there's no emotional m reward. >> Shaloah Powell: It's like you don't have a crap ton of hormone stuff going on. >> Hunter Hoover: That's true. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, I know the pain is. It's absolutely horrible. Um, probably
worse than a knee. I've had my. So the worst knee disk location I had, it went out about 180. So it didn't do with, like, a 360. Like, I knew a guy who did. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, like, it spun around. >> Shaloah Powell: Well, no, he did spin around, but it went, like, okay, mine didn't do 180. It went, like, out on the side, and then his did 180, so it was back. Cause he got hit by a car. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh.
>> Shaloah Powell: So I don't m know how bad that is, but from what I felt, having my kneecap on the side of my leg, like, you could see it. Yeah. Like, my. Like, it was flat on top, and my kneecap was just, like, gross. Um, and I feel like a kidney stone's probably a little worse. Maybe around the same. I don't know. >> Hunter Hoover: I feel like it has to be. >> Shaloah Powell: Because it goes on so long. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that's my greatest fear.
>> Shaloah Powell: Like, I can pop my knee back in, and then you just have to wait for the adrenaline to go down, and it just mistakes, and that's it. >> Hunter Hoover: Is it kind of, like. So does any part of the, like, popping it back in place feel good now? Like, do you know, like, when you, like, crack your knuckles, it feels good. Is it like that at all? >> Shaloah Powell: Um, like, sometimes when my hip pops back in, um, a lot of things, it kind of
stopped hurting. It just was. And my body would react negatively to that. Like, my shoulders are almost never, like, quite where they belong. Um, but with pregnancy, the pain, like, has come back a lot so you can actually feel it, and you're like, oh, man. >> Hunter Hoover: Fun. >> Shaloah Powell: All that pain, tolerance for nothing. >> Hunter Hoover: Well, until after the baby's, I was gonna say. It's like,
sometimes you hear about people, like, oh, I have pregnant. And now, like, this problem that I've had for ten years, it's just gone because the hormones, like, level it out. That makes sense. No, no. Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: It's gotten worse. >> Hunter Hoover: Well, um, can't win them all. >> Shaloah Powell: I don't get mosquito bites like I did before, though, because mosquitoes don't like Jason, and now I have his DNA in my blood, so is that like. That's like me?
>> Hunter Hoover: That's weird. >> Shaloah Powell: It is weird, but I'm appreciative of it. >> Hunter Hoover: Uh huh. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, I've been able to eat dairy. >> Hunter Hoover: Jason could, like, I don't know, cell is spit and concentrate. That. >> Shaloah Powell: No, that's not how that works. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. Wrong. Uh, anyway. All right. >> Shaloah Powell: His DNA is literally in my blood.
>> Hunter Hoover: That, friends, is called science. Uh, you're welcome. Good job, Jason. Ah. Um, well, I have. If you have any bathroom stories, you can stop me at any time. I have a bunch of questions, uh, that I ask everyone, and I've already kind of asked a little bit about the Ehlers Danlos. I've known you for, like, seven years. I still don't have, like, a good grasp on what it is. >> Shaloah Powell: That's fair. >> Hunter Hoover: It's just, I know that the best.
>> Shaloah Powell: Way I describe it is most people's bodies and bones and organs are held together by, like, a strong gorilla glue, and mine are held together by, like, not just, like, Elmer's craft glue, but, like, the glittery elmer's craft glue that does absolutely nothing. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay, so it's like, there's a lot of floating. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that would suck if it's not supposed to.
>> Shaloah Powell: Like, sometimes I'm just sitting there and I can kind of feel my. Well, not right now, because all my organs are squished, but not pregnant. Like, I could just feel my stomach just be like. >> Hunter Hoover: So can you. I should have probably asked on this. I never really asked this. Can you feel your organs being, like, pushed. Yeah, by the baby. That's weird.
>> Shaloah Powell: From what I've heard from my midwife and, like, my mom, who's a nurse and has dealt with autoimmune stuff all these years, is, like, not everyone feels everything as deeply physically and knows where all their bones and organs are. But when you have a disorder your whole life, where it's all constantly moving and you're more aware. >> Hunter Hoover: Huh. >> Shaloah Powell: Of so I don't know if everything I feel is akin to, like, that's weird. The average
pregnancy, but yeah, I can feel it. Huh. >> Hunter Hoover: Huh. >> Shaloah Powell: That's squishy. >> Hunter Hoover: That would freak me out. A. >> Shaloah Powell: But, like, it feels squishy in my ribcage, which is weird to say. So I try not to think about it. >> Hunter Hoover: And here we are making you think. No. Um, well, let's. We'll jump into questions. It'll be a good break from that. Uh, so what type
of toilet paper do y'all have at your place? What type of toilet paper do you guys use? >> Shaloah Powell: So I either get Charmin or I get quilted northrin. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, really? >> Shaloah Powell: Ah, yeah. Because quilted northern doesn't like charmin leaves too. It leaves too much. >> Hunter Hoover: The bears are breaking down fast. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay.
>> Shaloah Powell: Quilted northern is just. It's strong enough, but it doesn't hurt you. >> Hunter Hoover: Huh huh. Quilted my. I think that's what my parents used to buy when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in forever. We just buy Costco. Uh, I haven't seen quilted northern forever. That's good stuff. And, um, then do you. When you put it on the roll. >> Shaloah Powell: Mhm. >> Hunter Hoover: It's a classic. Do you go over or under? >> Shaloah Powell: It's over.
>> Hunter Hoover: Okay. So does Jason agree with you? I can't remember what he said. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, I mean, he puts it on. When he does put it on, it is over. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: So I'd say so. I don't think he really cares. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. See that? I'm convinced it doesn't matter. That's my, um. That's fair. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, if I'm at work, as long as my coworker put it on, I don't care.
>> Hunter Hoover: Right. >> Shaloah Powell: The fact that they did it, just. >> Hunter Hoover: So what do you say of this crime? So I walked into a bathroom, saw this crime in my own home, and I don't think it was Anna, but I'm also like, I'm trying to figure out who possibly. So the toilet paper was gone and they took the roll, they took the cardboard tube off and threw it away and then replaced the thing with nothing on it. Just like complete empty pants on the roll.
>> Shaloah Powell: That's evil. That's heinous. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. I think my son might be behind this maneuver. >> Shaloah Powell: Intent to do harm. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. My guess is he just was like, yeah, I'm not even look for it. I just know this is empty. I need to take it off. But I walked in there, I was like, this is madness. You were right there. You had it ready to go. Um. Okay. So overdose. Uh, do you? Yeah. If you see, if you go to someone's house.
>> Shaloah Powell: Mhm. >> Hunter Hoover: And you use the restroom and it's under, will you flip it? >> Shaloah Powell: No. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay, just leave it. >> Shaloah Powell: That's their house, that's their rules. >> Hunter Hoover: Some people will flip it. They're gutsy enough to flip that around. >> Shaloah Powell: It's not your house. It's not your right to flip their toilet paper.
>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, I agree. I think we should just leave everybody's toilet paper. >> Shaloah Powell: You don't go and go, oh, I have my kitchen cabinethe differently. Imma change that for you. >> Hunter Hoover: It's just wrong. Yeah. Um, do you prefer bar soap or liquid soap? >> Shaloah Powell: I mean, I usually use liquid soap, but if I do buy a bar soap, like I have a loofah poof shake. So you just slather in there.
>> Hunter Hoover: Jason told me he's been messing around with the doctor squatch. >> Shaloah Powell: Mhm. >> Hunter Hoover: I'm trying to mess around with doctor squatch. I literally ordered some when I recorded with him and it's still not here. They haven't figured it out. They're working on it. >> Shaloah Powell: It does take a while to get there, but like now that they, like, I think he gets like one package a month
or something. But we have so many. Like I have a drawer in our bathroom that's like what I always make sure I have one backup of whatever we have. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: And like a good chunk of the drawer is just squatch soaps. >> Hunter Hoover: Well, there you go. Have you ever, have you ever like thought about trying one of those? >> Shaloah Powell: I did. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, it's, I mean, it works fine. Um, it
just dried up my skin. Oh. So I didn't like it. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Fun. Yeah. I don't imagine Jason's worried about dry skin very often. Having worked on, you know, farms and. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, the, such, the only thing is like working with paper, like if your skin is dry, and then I get more paper cuts and stuff anyway because, you know. >> Hunter Hoover: Right. >> Shaloah Powell: I don't have good collagen in my skin.
>> Hunter Hoover: Huh. So does that make it like resistant? I don't know what collagen does. >> Shaloah Powell: Uh, no, my skin just gets cut easier and I get bruises easier and stuff. So then if my skin is dry, like it'll split open and it'll um, get cuts easier and stuff. >> Hunter Hoover: That's wild. Um, what is your opinion of baths? Pro bath? >> Shaloah Powell: I am pro bath, um, merely because of my disability.
>> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: Sometimes that's like I have, um, a shower stool I have to use sometimes. And sometimes there have been times where bath is the only option or it just really helps relieve pain. >> Hunter Hoover: There's a lady I work with. She, like, for no reason other than she's just like, yeah, I don't. I'm just. She just has a shower stool.
>> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: She says everybody should just own one and have one and do that. Um, yeah, it's a bad place to faint. Yeah. Have you fainted in the middle of that situation? >> Shaloah Powell: I've gotten really close, but I haven't. >> Hunter Hoover: Cause I know, like, Anna will take a bathe and it'll be hot to the point where she's like, I gotta get out. I'm lightheaded. And I'm like, this is.
>> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, no, I will. I will sit down before. Before that happens. >> Hunter Hoover: It's too much. >> Shaloah Powell: Um. >> Hunter Hoover: Um. Do you have any bathroom pet peeves? It can be things that, you know, Jason or not Jason, but probably Jason. Do that drive you nuts? >> Shaloah Powell: That's fair. Um. Um, nothing. I do hate when, like, I. If the bath mat's really wet, I like to hang it up.
>> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: And I hate stepping into, like, by the tub because our washer and dryer is there. And sometimes you go, you're wearing socks. You're gonna do the laundry, and then your. Your wet are just squelching. Yeah, that's on a wet mat, and I don't like it. >> Hunter Hoover: So just pick the mat up. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, just. Just hang it up. >> Hunter Hoover: So what's interesting now, this is.
This is similar. Okay. So I had Michael and Kimberly on at the same time, which was fun because Kimberly would say something, and I had had Michael on previously, and I'd stare at Michael. I'm like, you little. You little rascal. Because I know that you said, you do this, and she just said she hates it. I'm, um, pretty sure Jason said he also hates the experience of stepping on a wet
floor from showering. So, like, is he the one leaving the mat down and then also, like, mad that he's stepping in it? >> Shaloah Powell: Well, I mean, he usually takes showers at night, and I take him in the morning. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, okay. >> Shaloah Powell: Um. I don't think he really notices. >> Hunter Hoover: Huh. Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Not my bathroom, but at the clinic. I hate when parents know their kids need
bathroom help, but they're not gonna do it. And they're like, yeah, my three year old son can go pee by himself. And then they leave, and I walk in and I'm like, oh, okay, well, I guess I'm cleaning that up. >> Hunter Hoover: So that's like, y'all. Y'all the front desk people's like, you're the cleanup crew for the bathroom. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Like, we have a cleanup crew that comes and does general stuff, like at night, but they
suck really bad. So I do, uh, a set front desk, like, does most of that. And then, of course, back office is in charge of cleaning. Like the operatories and sterile and stuff. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, that's. >> Shaloah Powell: And so that's all we is extremely clean because it has. >> Hunter Hoover: That's a different game. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Um, so Jason's bar soap. Have you ever thought about carving him a message in it?
>> Shaloah Powell: No. It's worth, you know, that is a waste of money. >> Hunter Hoover: Well, you just, you know, you carve a little one. Like, I'm like, I don't have fingernails. >> Shaloah Powell: I bite them off. I have nothing to carve with. >> Hunter Hoover: Fair enough. >> Shaloah Powell: Um. >> Hunter Hoover: Um. Have you ever tried taking shower in the dark?
>> Shaloah Powell: Yes. Only because for a while at my parents house, the light was broken, so. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: You get up at five for work. >> Hunter Hoover: So accidental what it is. Yeah, I love it. That's like my. I. Yeah, no, I don't. I most exclusively move wrong and the. >> Shaloah Powell: Lights off and my knee goes out. Like, that's. Mm mm. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, yeah. That's a different game.
>> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: I imagine navigating anything when your leg is not where it's supposed to be as bad. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Like, if I, like, I can step on something that's on the floor and you're like, well, my knees gone. Bye. >> Hunter Hoover: Nope. That sounds awful. Uh, do you. Do you find, like. Ah, yeah. Anyway, um, snacks in the bathroom? Yes. No. Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: When I get up, like, I'll get up in the morning. I make my
coffee. You take a shower. You put your coffee on the side of the tub between the inside and the outside. Coffee. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: And you sip it between your different soaps. >> Hunter Hoover: Coffee, shower. Shower. Coffee. >> Shaloah Powell: Yes. >> Hunter Hoover: Those are different things. >> Shaloah Powell: But that's it. Like, maybe a sparkling water after work.
>> Hunter Hoover: I'm trying to figure out how to get my shower head to put coffee out. No, sorry. Uh, I said coffee shower. Is it, like, weird drinking a hot drink in a hot shower? >> Shaloah Powell: Because that, to me, like, I mean, I typically. I don't usually take super hot showers. I either take lukewarm or slightly cold, really. Um, unless, like, my. I'm getting dystonia, which is, um, basically cramps that are so tight that, like, your different things start moving on
their own. So, like, when my neck starts moving around or my arm. Yeah, that's dystonia. So I'll take hot showers to, like, help with that. But other than that, like, I feel a lot better taking a cold shower, so. >> Hunter Hoover: Really? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: That sounds like the worst thing ever taking. I hate cold showers.
>> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, I used to think the same thing. But when your chronic illness gets bad enough and that thing helps it, so. >> Hunter Hoover: Cold helps it, so. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Like, cold showers, like, for the. For certain things. Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: That's wild, huh? Cause, like, I don't know, I always thought heat was. Heat was the thing. >> Shaloah Powell: Heat is the thing for my muscles. But, like, for the,
uh, for the dysautonomia and stuff. Cold is. >> Hunter Hoover: That's wild. >> Shaloah Powell: They kind of work against each other, man. >> Hunter Hoover: That is. I guess it would have to be pretty bad because I, like. Our water heater will go out here. It's our garage gets 105 degrees because there's no ventilation, and the sun hits it all day. And our water heater will, like, trip and go out, and I will be in the show. I'll get so mad because it's like, ice cold water.
The water is colder than it is in our house. And, like, this is so dumb. I hate this so much. I get so angry. Um, but you're like, yeah, that's great. Uh, have you ever thought of. Okay, so there's this thing where you eat an orange in the shower as if it's an apple. So what are, like, you've already said you're not, like, I. What are the odds you would ever try that maneuver?
>> Shaloah Powell: So right after Jason recorded his last podcast, he requested when I went to the store that I buy him an orange. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, yes. >> Shaloah Powell: So I. And I. He hasn't told me. He hasn't told me how it is. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: So I'm waiting for it. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: I'm not. I'm not trying it until I get his report.
>> Hunter Hoover: I think. And I. This is probably. Someone will be like, that's sexist, and here I am. But I think there's something, like, in the guy's brain of, like, I can make the biggest mess everywhere with this piece of fruit and there's no consequences. That is. >> Shaloah Powell: No, I agree, because I. Yeah, I'm not. I don't usually really like plain oranges anyway. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. Yeah.
>> Shaloah Powell: I've seen people eat, like, steaks. Like, men eat steaks in the shower, and they post it on their facebook, and they're like, I'm in America, so I could steak. >> Hunter Hoover: Who are these people? >> Shaloah Powell: My dad's friend Chris, some other middle aged men. >> Hunter Hoover: Wait, wait, they're eating steak? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Like, he had one like that. Uh, I think it was, like, a flank steak, and it was still on the bone.
>> Hunter Hoover: And you're eating it while they're showering? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Are they, like, holding it. Or they got, like, a fork. They're just holding it like they're eating it. Like, primal m maneuver eating it. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, like, on, um. Like, if it's attached to a bone, they'll have the bone. Uh, I've seen this from multiple middle aged men on Facebook. Hmm.
>> Hunter Hoover: I'm okay. There is gonna be more research that is happening now. >> Shaloah Powell: I think it's a particular sect of middle aged Mendez. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah. Chris Luckman said he ate ribs on the toilet. Like, that was a maneuver he's tried a few times. And I went, listen, there's so much finger sauce that. >> Shaloah Powell: How do you know what's on your fingers?
>> Hunter Hoover: Well, so he. His thing is, like, he finishes the food before he begins wiping, but I'm like, that toilet paper is gonna be a nightmare with the barbecue on your flake. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, no, it's. That's a sin. >> Hunter Hoover: I would try it. I would do. I would do messy ribs in the shower, though. That's. The steak has spurred my brain into. Hmm. Shower steak. I'm gonna just make myself a note real quick. Shower steak.
Because, uh, they might be on to something. Seems suspicious. Uh, what do they do with the bone when they're like. >> Shaloah Powell: I don't know. Don't ask them intimate details about their steak. >> Hunter Hoover: Cause I imagine that there have been some angry husband and wife conversations. If they leave that, like, not on piece of m bone in the shower on accident. Cause every now and then, I will, like, have a shower drink, and I'll leave the can, and it's
like, all right. Yeah, it's annoying. I could not imagine getting in the shower and there's just, like, a t bone. Steak. Bone just sitting on the thing. It's like, oh, my gosh. Has your dad ever tried it? >> Shaloah Powell: Not that I'm aware of. >> Hunter Hoover: Well, he can't do the. Is that dark meat steak? >> Shaloah Powell: I mean, he can have, like. He can't have, like, dark meat, like, from chicken or turkey and stuff. Cause it's throat up.
But, um, fine. Like, beef is fine. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. You have to ask your dad, have you ever. >> Shaloah Powell: My dad, he's a much more private person than I am. We don't talk about those things. >> Hunter Hoover: Maybe Jason can ask him. That's the path forward. Seek. Jason. Hey, Jason. Ask Mister Shaloah's dad if he's ever shower staked. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, just me having the knowledge that he had colon cancer when he had it
was. Was a pretty big growth. She's pretty private as far as privacy. >> Hunter Hoover: In our relationship, man. Yeah, that's fair. >> Shaloah Powell: I mean, we talk about a lot, just not bathroom body things. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, my mom's a nurse and I work in dental and I love biology. So we'll talk. Like we talk about anything. And he just leaves the room. >> Hunter Hoover: Your dad's like, I'm out.
>> Shaloah Powell: Like, we'll be like, yes, I'm pregnant. And he's like, all right, you guys have your girl talk. I'ma go. >> Hunter Hoover: You should just corner him one time and just unload a story. It'd be so funny, though. >> Shaloah Powell: He doesn't deserve. He's a good dad. He doesn't deserve that. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: He raised me well. >> Hunter Hoover: That's funny, though.
>> Shaloah Powell: Taught me how to break noses. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Fun. >> Shaloah Powell: Um. >> Hunter Hoover: Um, well, speaking of things that you, uh, uh. You probably would never ask your dad. >> Shaloah Powell: All right. >> Hunter Hoover: Do you know what a waffle stomp is? Let's start with the. >> Shaloah Powell: I do. I am aware.
>> Hunter Hoover: So. And you don't. Uh, I have been told so when I sat down with Kimberly and Michael, I was told, hey, you know, it's kind of. It's kind of weird to ask a lady if they've done this. So I'm not gonna ask you, but if you want to share whether or not you've done it, you can. >> Shaloah Powell: No, no. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay. >> Shaloah Powell: Absolutely nothing.
>> Hunter Hoover: I don't think Jason has. I for life can't remember his answers because this was like from three years ago. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, but yeah, no, I'm the one who cleans the tub, so you better not. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Uh, and the grate we have now in the tub, like, it's. It kind of looks like a checkerboard. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, that's the perfect. That's. No, that's like literally the waffle pattern.
>> Shaloah Powell: No, no, but it's really tiny. >> Hunter Hoover: That's. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, it's teeny, teeny tiny. Teeny, teeny square holes. >> Hunter Hoover: Yes. >> Shaloah Powell: There's. If you try and squelch it through there, you're just gonna be left with a pie tin of crap. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: No, so. Mhm. That's wrong. >> Hunter Hoover: The type that we have. I've never. This one has not
had it anyway. But that type is the worst because it's just like the ring with the thing in the middle and like, stuff can sneak by before it gets liquefied. So it. Yeah. Anyway, um, so if. If you ever had. So you're like a get out bathroom. Do you ever have to get back in situation? >> Shaloah Powell: See, I've never had that problem. >> Hunter Hoover: Really? >> Shaloah Powell: Like, I mean. No. >> Hunter Hoover: Then that is. Maybe that's a guy thing because.
>> Shaloah Powell: Well, I mean, being pregnant is. Is the most consistently that I have ever gone, like, typically with my, like, I'm just extremely so. Like, I'll go 20 days, and that would be normal for me. M and I'd have to. That's like, I am very familiar with over the counter laxatives. Only, um, magnesium citrate would do anything. Nothing else. >> Hunter Hoover: Have you ever tried dragon fruit?
>> Shaloah Powell: No. >> Hunter Hoover: Yellow dragon fruit will, like, that is liquid plumbers. >> Shaloah Powell: That is a post pregnancy try, because right now we're doing fine. >> Hunter Hoover: 20 days? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Does your doctor know that? >> Shaloah Powell: I mean, I'm in the middle of looking for a new. >> Hunter Hoover: Hey, you're. Hey, you're an adult. You know what you need to do. But I.
That is, uh, that's. That's. I don't know if it's impressive or scary. Um, because for me, the thought of 20 hours is too much. Like, I start. I start having, like, existential questions about, like, if. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, before pregnancy, if I was doing really good, it'd be like, every three days. >> Hunter Hoover: Really? That's. That is concerning for me. Like, like, everybody's different. >> Shaloah Powell: I did struggle with gastroparesis a lot.
>> Hunter Hoover: I. Only because of this show. Do I know what that is? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. Oh, yeah. That means when your stomach's not moving at all, so you don't digest. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. I had a mentor kid that, because his home life was so awful. Like, his intestine, like, he had it from trauma, just the whole thing shut down. >> Shaloah Powell: Oh, wow.
>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: They had to even know it could shut, like, mindless allergies. >> Hunter Hoover: They had to give him, like, these weird enzymes to get his stomach to start. >> Shaloah Powell: Oh, that's horrible. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, it was. It was wild, but so a normal person. >> Shaloah Powell: Mhm. >> Hunter Hoover: This kid who. I don't know if I can name him now, he's an adult,
and this has been like, four years, but I'm not gonna. But this kid, you would think, like, if my tummy is not digesting anything, like, I would lay low on the amount of food that I'm. But, like, nah, he was like, two, three big Macs in a large frye, and then he would just throw it all up. Dude was wild. Yep, that's right. I'm like, hey, bud, that's $20 worth. >> Shaloah Powell: Of food that you just has a healthy relationship with food now.
>> Hunter Hoover: Uh, yeah, I don't know. But his exact thing was, I'm not eating it for nutrition. I'm eating it because it tastes good. >> Shaloah Powell: It wasn't for emotional reasons. >> Hunter Hoover: I think that was probably some of it too. But, yeah, he. He's good now. When I when I quit mentoring him, he was. He was digesting a. Okay, as far as I'm aware. So, um, yeah, so no snacks? Is that, like, a strict no snacks ever?
>> Shaloah Powell: No snacks. Like, if I'm. If I'm taking a relaxing bath, like, it's been a crappy day at work. Ton of people said a lot of bad things. >> Hunter Hoover: People are great, and they never are mean, ever. >> Shaloah Powell: I will say if you're gonna cuss at me, it has to be creative. I have a few fun, creative ones that I love. Um, just real quick. My top favorite is a woman that our cleanings are booked eight months out. >> Hunter Hoover: Holy.
>> Shaloah Powell: She has ohp. So wherever she goes, the cleanings are going to be way booked out, and it's for her child, and their appointment was a week out, and she was calling to confirm the date and time. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: In the middle, she interrupts me, and she's like, cancel the appointment. I'm gonna go somewhere else because your voice is too. And she hung up. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my gosh.
>> Shaloah Powell: And so that's a clinic joke. Now, if you're listening to this, ma'am, you're a joke. In our clinic, you are a joke. You're a joke. Um, I don't even know, but, yeah, like, snat. Like, if it's been a bad day at work taking pre pregnancy, you'd have, you know, you'd have a little bit of alcohol. Now I have a sparkle water. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: And you have a little charcuterie board. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, dang.
>> Shaloah Powell: You're like, you've got a little murder mystery. >> Hunter Hoover: All right. Hey. I don't understand, but I know that it's a thing. Cause Anna does it, not the shark. I've never seen the charcuterie. I don't even know how to say the word. >> Shaloah Powell: Like a girl dinner. >> Hunter Hoover: I don't know if Ana's ever done girl dinner in the batheous. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, look, it's part of the process.
>> Hunter Hoover: There's been an iPad and a book and wine. >> Shaloah Powell: Mhm. >> Hunter Hoover: Or a fizzy drink. I'm trying to think that's all right. >> Shaloah Powell: But there's one exception. >> Hunter Hoover: Usually the bath is like, hey, Hunter, I'm gonna take a bath. And that's kind of like code word for you're on deck if one of these children wakes up, because I'm doing this now. Yeah.
You know, you guys have that to look forward to. It'll be. That's a new dynamic. That'll be fun. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Has anyone ever. Has anyone ever prepped you on the first baby diaper? It's Jason's duty on that one, but so I told him, yeah, I've been. >> Shaloah Powell: Prepped on the first baby diaper, and, uh, the baby period. Because we're having a girl. >> Hunter Hoover: Yes. I didn't know about the baby, the baby
period. So I learned. So when Silas was born, he pooped. It's a good thing. But it looks like black tar heroin. Yeah, first. The first one. And I thought he was, I thought there was something bad. I was like, doctor, there's something wrong with my child. And he goes, no. And I looked at it, and I went, that is not normal. And then Sarah had, like, blood in her diaper, and I went, oh, my gosh. Uh, Anna. And she, that was where they're like,
yeah, babies. All the hormones, they'll have a little. I'm like, nuh uh uh. No. I would. >> Shaloah Powell: Sometimes they have the black tar poop, like, before they come out, and then it's just in your amniotic fluid. Gross. So then, so they prep you, and they're like, hey, if it comes out green and, like, gross, there's any black in there, they're like, we want to make sure there's no infection. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah, that's, that is heinous. I, um, mean, it's beautiful.
>> Shaloah Powell: Question mark, maybe not that part. We don't have to call that part. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Um. Wow. Well, so do you. That's all the questions I have. Uh, I do have, like, one last one that is at the end, but do you, do you have anything that you want to share with people either about, uh, being pregnant in the bathroom or, or Eller Stanlow's in the bathroom or any of those things?
>> Shaloah Powell: Um, or just that time of peeing myself at work was pretty rough. >> Hunter Hoover: Did Jason bring you a change, if anything, or was it like, no, he's. >> Shaloah Powell: No, he was in his 1st 90 days of this new job. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah. Um, so this is moderately so. >> Shaloah Powell: I just went home for the day. I was done. >> Hunter Hoover: I'm taking the day.
>> Shaloah Powell: I was like, hey, guys. So I threw up out of my nose. I'm going home. They were like, yeah, that's fair. Um. >> Hunter Hoover: Um, that sounds bad. I I will do anything not to throw up, by the way. Like, nope, Anna's never seen me throw up. >> Shaloah Powell: You just gotta get used to it, man. >> Hunter Hoover: I will do anything not to. >> Shaloah Powell: Wow.
>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. So, uh, for the listener, Anna just shouted from the other room that it is, in fact, true. She's never seen me throw up. It's not because, like, I just. Yeah, uh, I will. I have to be almost dead to be throwing up. I hate it. >> Shaloah Powell: Well, okay, there is one story. There is one story. It is a period story. I don't know if it counts. >> Hunter Hoover: I mean, from what I can tell, that has a lot to do with the bathroom, so.
>> Shaloah Powell: Okay. Because it is funny. And I think now that it's been like eight year, seven. How many years? We can laugh now. But, but, um, it was in high school and I was taking the act, so they took us out on buses to the boys and girls club in town. >> Hunter Hoover: So we're all you to the act. The boys and girls club? >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, my God. >> Shaloah Powell: So we're all in these desks and
I'm in the back of the gym. So I have to. To walk out in front of everybody, my whole class to leave, to go to the bathroom. And I had, um, these, like, green. These like, lighter olive green pants. So, um. And you could only get up at certain times to use the bathroom. And I'm like, if I get up at any point, like, I don't want them to fail me because they were so serious. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: So in the middle, like, I
finally get up. Cause I'm like, it'll be too big of a problem. They didn't fail me. It was fine. But I had to walk out in front of my entire class looking like a Christmas tree. And then when I finally walked back in, my mom brought me a different pair of pants. So then I have to walk back in front of my whole class for a pair of pants. >> Hunter Hoover: Ah. >> Shaloah Powell: So it was really, uh. I was horrified at the time. >> Hunter Hoover: Is that like.
>> Shaloah Powell: But you know, you just. >> Hunter Hoover: You gotta laugh that, I guess, cuz no guy has ever had anything that is like that. It's just not a reality. The only thing that a guy can do is totally crap their pants in the middle of something. That's all right. Does every. Does every girl have a story like that? >> Shaloah Powell: I think most. I mean, I have multiple. >> Hunter Hoover: That's crazy. It does, huh huh?
>> Shaloah Powell: It's just part of. Part of the deal. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, it is, but it doesn't. It seems like awful in every way. >> Shaloah Powell: It's. It's fine. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, it's all right, Mandy. But at least you, you know. >> Shaloah Powell: You know, I do laugh now. >> Hunter Hoover: That's good. M. That would be tough. I, uh, uh. Yeah, I dread the day that, like, Sarah,
that. That calls going straight to Anna, cuz. Nah uh, no. Yeah, it's outside of my. Well, you guys are having a girl. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Make Jason deal with it. That'll be fun. >> Shaloah Powell: No, I can do it. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah, man, that's crazy. >> Shaloah Powell: I'm happy to do it. >> Hunter Hoover: Did anybody give, like, people are awful. Did
anybody give you, like, crap for it? Or is it one of those things where it's like, it is what it is. >> Shaloah Powell: No one gave me, like, it just was what it was. Like, you know, like, back, back then in middle school, there was a lot of stigma of, like, oh, uh, you don't have. Use tampons. Like, you're not a little kid. Like, I'm like, oh, I, um, have a disorder. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Um huh. So I don't know if that's still a thing,
but that was, like, the worst of it is. People would judge you. >> Hunter Hoover: Well, nowadays, the tampons are just everywhere. Like, they're in the men's bathroom at the high school. So that's fun. >> Shaloah Powell: And they're filled with arsenic. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. And they turn them into giant bowling balls and sling the wet tampons down the hallway and played tampon bowling. That is a real thing that happened at your previous former high school.
>> Shaloah Powell: Hey, I'm. I'm gone. I've been gone for, for quite a while now. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, thankfully, I haven't had to deal with any of that at work. Yeah. Like, sometimes they won't wrap them before throwing them away. >> Hunter Hoover: At least they throw away. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah, but it's in the garbage. Like, most of the work is done. I just have to change the.
>> Hunter Hoover: The. Oh, God. So when I was a janitor in Salem, the office that I worked for was, like, 90% female. And the ladies would flush their tampons, which is fine, but they swell up, and we're on septic there. Don't flush them. Anyway. >> Shaloah Powell: Uh, I don't understand why you, as a grown adult, would flush.
>> Hunter Hoover: They would, and they would get, like, it when it would get bad, it would get stuck in the s bend, and I. And they would swell up and pluck it, and it's like, you dumb. You're just stupid. Well, that story was. I'm sorry that happened. I'm glad you can laugh about it. >> Shaloah Powell: You don't have to share it if you don't want to, but I'm open. >> Hunter Hoover: If you're open about it, it'll probably land in there, because I'll be
honest. Besides Anna and, like, Kimberly was a half because she was with Michael. And so it was a lot of Kimberly making fun of Michael. You're, like, the first, like, lady perspective other than Anna on this show. >> Shaloah Powell: I'm just glad I wore green pants that day so I could be festive. >> Hunter Hoover: Yep. It's like, okay, yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: So that's, you know. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Is that what the whole, like, don't wear
white after whatever time of year is? Is that what that's about? Memorial Day, Labor Day? Is that what that's about? >> Shaloah Powell: Uh, I don't. >> Hunter Hoover: I never understood it. >> Shaloah Powell: I don't think so. >> Hunter Hoover: I don't know. I'm not gonna try to figure it out. >> Shaloah Powell: I have no clue what it's about. >> Hunter Hoover: Um, that sounds awful.
>> Shaloah Powell: I would suggest wearing white if you're on your period. >> Hunter Hoover: That's good advice. I feel like then you're just begging. >> Shaloah Powell: For, don't wear khakis either. >> Hunter Hoover: Don't worry. Okay. Um. Hey. There you go. Do you have any bathroom wisdom that you want to leave people with other than don't wear white when you're on your period? >> Shaloah Powell: Not really. >> Hunter Hoover: Okay.
>> Shaloah Powell: Um. I have no good system. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I almost. I almost squandered an opportunity. So the longstanding toilet. Toilet seat, up or down? You're, uh. I know where Anna's at. We've. But you as a lady. The toilet seat, up or down? I need you to weigh in as a lady. >> Shaloah Powell: I think I have a controversial opinion. >> Hunter Hoover: Oh, perfect. >> Shaloah Powell: Um, and if.
>> Hunter Hoover: And if my wife is in the other room listening, she can go ahead and tap into this one. >> Shaloah Powell: Well, I'm not. So my thing is, I think if you're in a house of mostly women, you should put it down. But if it's a house of mostly men, like, if you leave it up. >> Hunter Hoover: What if it's, like. >> Shaloah Powell: It takes just as much effort either way.
>> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. >> Shaloah Powell: Like, I think in general, it's good to put it down, because sometimes guys need it down, too, you know? Yeah, but, like, if j. Like, in the few times Jason has left it up, like, it hasn't been a huge. Like, I just checked. >> Hunter Hoover: You just see it and put it down. >> Shaloah Powell: Yeah. >> Hunter Hoover: Right. So what if the household split exactly 50 50, boy, girl. >> Shaloah Powell: Then mom makes rules.
>> Hunter Hoover: Oh, shoot. >> Shaloah Powell: Well, mom's always in charge. >> Hunter Hoover: All right. I can't even argue with it. Um, well, very good. I, uh, appreciate you being here. Um, hopefully, this isn't. It's probably maybe the weirdest thing. You did have birthing class earlier, so. >> Shaloah Powell: I've done a lot. I've been through a lot of weird stuff. >> Hunter Hoover: Perfect. Um, well, I appreciate you being here. Uh, yeah.
Thank you. Uh, I'm gonna do the weird, like, close out the show. I always tell people. I feel like if you've ever. So, like, when dogs go to the bathroom in the backyard, they are stuck and, like, if you watch them, they know you're watching. That's how I feel every time I. >> Shaloah Powell: Close the show, I feel like I'm about to watch a dog poop in a yard, so. >> Hunter Hoover: Yeah. Well, thank you for being here. Thank you so much for
listening. Um, as always, you can follow us, uh, on social media. I'm not going to read all those things because I hate them all. M but do you want people to find you on the Internet? >> Shaloah Powell: No. >> Hunter Hoover: Perfect. Uh, yeah, thanks for Kevin and Poddington for the use of their music. Uh, this is the end of another episode of Privy. Thank, uh, you so much for listening. Keep pooping in the free world. And as always, don't forget to flash. Then I just. This is the
maneuver. Every time that gets edited out, I just cram it back there.
