Speaker 1: any longer, you know that kind of beat it out. Um.

36
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I kind of like how this article actually starts though,

37
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: by Dave Ruse. He talks about the taste of Chicago.

38
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: Was this a rug jam? Yes? It is good. So

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: he talks about how if you go to the Taste

40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: of Chicago. Right every every July they hold it at

41
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: the Grant Park alongside the Lake. When was our show there,

42
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: by the way, was that July? No, it was chillier

43
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: than that. I think it was October. Okay, they had

44
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: something had happened in Grant Park because I remember seeing

45
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of porta potties on the drive in.

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, so something they just always have them there,

47
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: don't think so. Okay, Well, for the Taste of Chicago,

48
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: they definitely have Porter potties, in fact for two thousand

49
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: and fourteen, and we should say there's like a million

50
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: people that come through this thing over the course of

51
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: the weeks. It really is. Have you ever been to

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta's Taste of Anything? Uh? No, I haven't either. I

53
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: don't think it's I don't think a million people show

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: up for it. It makes me want to go try

55
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Chicago's um But so you've got a million people. UM

56
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: and Service Sanitation, Inc. Which is the company that landed

57
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: the Porter potty contract crunch the numbers. Looked at the

58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: food that was gonna be there, uh said, you're gonna

59
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: have some beer? Yeah? Okay? They carried the one and

60
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: they came up with three hundred and eighty regular porta potties,

61
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight wheelchair accessible porta potties, and eighty hand washing stations.

62
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: They have soap and fresh running water. Not bad, right,

63
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: So here's the thing, Like, that's great, they delivered all

64
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: those things. But had they just walked away and said,

65
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: see at the end of taste of Chicago, it would

66
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: have been a living nightmare for everyone involved. That would

67
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: be it would be more than the taste of Chicago,

68
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: be the sickening smell of Chicago. Yeah, that would have

69
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: been bad. Because well, we'll get into it. But porta

70
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: potty sometimes you can leave them, come back a week

71
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: later and just take them away if it's a temporary

72
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: work side or something. But sometimes when you're selling beer

73
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: and chili, you need to come at the end of

74
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: every day and clean those suckers out. Yes, and that's

75
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: what they did. They came at night when everyone was

76
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: sleeping from well, I guess if you went to bed

77
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: at nine pm, that's when I'm sleeping. But they would

78
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: come every night from nine and i pm to three am,

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: and they would work. And here's the thing, Like, porta potties.

80
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: It turns out I was overthinking them. I thought there

81
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: was maybe a little more going on. No, they are,

82
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: they are self, I don't. I really don't know what

83
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: I thought. It escaped me as as the reality of

84
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: porter potties sunk in my my delusions about my illusions

85
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: about them kind of um escaped me to trickle away.

86
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: And now I can't remember what they were, right, sure

87
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: I have, but I was like holding my breath and

88
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: like like just barely had my eyes open because I

89
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't want any germs to get on my eyeballs. Um,

90
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: So I wasn't paying that much attention. It's an in

91
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: and out kind of thing. Um. It turns out that,

92
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: like when you serve as support potty, what you're doing

93
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: is you're showing up with a trunk or a truck

94
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: as a tank with a vacuum on at a pressurized tank, um,

95
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: and you are sucking the contents out of that porter potty,

96
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: and then you put it in the truck, you drive off,

97
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you dump it off at the waste treatment plant of

98
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: your local city or town. It's like a gigantic wet back. Yes,

99
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: it is for poo poo and pep, Yes, and a

100
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: very dangerous one. I saw at least one story um

101
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: in a porta potty trade magazine that of somebody who

102
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: I've read a bunch of those, in what was a

103
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: magazine called It's called Portable Restroom Operator. It's a it's

104
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: a good mag man. They I actually found, um uh

105
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: this one issue online going all the way back to

106
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: two thousand nine that I was looking for. So they

107
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: they're legit. Yeah, but they could have been a little

108
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: more fun with the name and bro well, I think

109
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: they're they're saying like, hey man, the fun you want,

110
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: but we're saving your behind. Hey see. Though that sounds

111
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: like a slogan, I'm sure it is. Well. They do

112
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,320

00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: like we're number one in the number two business. Not bad, No,

117
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: it's not bad. There's no one takes care of our

118

Speaker 1: just I thought you were going in a different direction.

125
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be a little more

126
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: like G E A U X. No, that's like if

127
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: they were in Louisiana. Maybe, Yeah, that's what I thought. Sure, No,

128
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: this is this is an um out. That's what got me.

129
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: And that's why you love Motley Crue so much. Sure

130
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: it is alright, So um, should we talk a little

131
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: bit about the history? I think so? Al right, Well

132
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: we need to go back to World War Two in

133
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: this case, and um, because World War Two was going on,

134
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: there was there was there was a need for more

135
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: poopers essentially because they had like manufacturing plants popping up,

136
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: they had temporary manufacturing plants going up, They had places

137
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: where they didn't want to build full service permanent bathrooms

138
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: all over the place. All of a sudden, these people

139
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: needed to go potty. Um what I saw I saw

140
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: a few different origin stories, but the one I saw

141
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: the most frequently was that the um shipbuilding docks at

142
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Long Beach during World War Two. They're building warships for

143
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: the US. The guys working the docks would have to

144
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: working building the ships would have to get on a

145
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: rowboat and go back to the dock to use the bathroom.

146
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: And this is no good. And they were like, this

147
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: is a terrible waste of time. Can we just get

148
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: something down the ship? So they started building temporary what

149
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: amounted to the first porta potties there on the ships

150
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: for them to use. Yeah, and these first ones, Um,

151
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: you can look up a picture of the Andy Gump.

152
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called? I didn't see. I gotta

153
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: look that up. I think it's the Andy Gump, like

154
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: one of the just type in like nineteen forties porta

155
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: potty and there will be a picture and it's basically

156
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: this big, heavy metal square. Sometimes they were would, but

157
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: they were super heavy and they weren't easily transported. Um

158
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: they you know this is pre uh using like chemicals

159
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: which we'll get into to help break these the poop

160
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: poo down and stuff. So it was just a disgusting

161
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: affair having trouble. Right now, I see the Andy Gump?

162
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: You see it? Wow? It looks like, um, it looks

163
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: safe to be in you know what it looks like.

164
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: It looks like what they used on mash Yeah, like

165
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: the latrine. Yeah, same idea. Basically, Yeah, it's just a latrine.

166
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: You could take places. But I came across this really

167
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: cool little thing on a website about World War two

168
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: fighter pilots, and um, with World War Two came along

169
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: planes that could stay in. These bombers, I could stay

170
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: in the air for a lot longer, and they started

171
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: to think like, Hey, these these dudes are up there

172
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: for like, you know, ten to fourteen hours, we have

173
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: to come up with ways for them to go to

174
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: the bathroom, right, Yeah, I mean like you don't think

175
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: about that. Like when we put the frost bite episode.

176
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I certainly didn't think that they were up there getting

177
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: frostbite because it was so you know cold. I also

178
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: didn't think that they were up there so long that

179
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: they couldn't use the bathroom. They had to hold it, right,

180
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, And the earliest ones were, well, here's the

181
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: funnel and it's attached to two tube and it leads

182
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: out of the plane, so go ahead and p Yeah,

183
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: and that's basically just for like the pilot and co

184
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: pilot this relief tube. Um. After that, they're like, well,

185
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: what do we have to poop? Yeah, they said, can

186
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: you get your hands on a produced crate? And the

187
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: crew would say like, well, yeah, sure, we have produced

188
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: creative course, what are we commies and the people in

189
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: charge to say, we'll poop in that? Take that up

190
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: in the plane and just pooping that, buddy, and maybe

191
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: wash it out when you get down here and put

192
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: it back in for later use. Yeah, or maybe just

193
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: get a new crate. I guess if you're not thrifty.

194
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: Eventually they came up with something called the Elson E

195
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: E L S A N. It's a chemical toilet and

196
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: it was really kind of one of the first little

197
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: porta potties. But if you look up Elson and on

198
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the images on Google, you will find that it's it

199
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: looks like nothing more than a metal oil in that

200
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: you sit on. It's basically what it was pretty much. Um,

201
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: and you're all they're exposed. I mean, there's no room

202
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: that this is in. You're just doing this in front

203
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: of you know, your all your buddies on the plane,

204
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: right like prison. Sure, and that I mean that that

205
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: Elson toilet was still, I mean, as primitive as it was.

206
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: It was an advancement, but it had certain problems, right

207
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: like if you were flying through turbulence, that elson would

208
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: spill its contents out into the plane. Yeah, there's a

209
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: few quotes here. I'd like to read a couple of

210
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: these from some of these fighter pilots. Um, here's one,

211
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: and this is from a British pilot. While we were

212
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: flying in rough air, this Devil's convenience often shared its

213
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: contents with the floor of the aircraft, the walls and ceiling,

214
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes a bit remained in the container itself. It

215
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: doesn't take much imagination to picture what it was like

216
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: trying to combat fear and airsickness while struggling to remove

217
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: enough gear and cramp quarters, and at the same time

218
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: trying to use the bloody elson. If it wasn't an

219
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: invention of the devil, it certainly might have been one

220
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: foisted on us by the enemy. When seated in frigid cold,

221
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: amid the cacophony of roaring engines and whistling air, away

222
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: from what should have been one of life's peaceful moments,

223
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: the occupant had a chance to fully ponder the miserable

224
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: condition of his life. This lowsome creation, invariably overflowed on

225
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: long trips and in turbulence, was always prone to bathe

226
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: the nether regions of the user. It was one of

227
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: the true reminders to me that war as hell, you

228
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: don't think about this stuff. You hear about all the

229
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: glory of being like a bomber pilot. You don't think

230
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: about sitting on a can and having your your friends

231
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: poop and pe slash up on your fannie. Sorry to

232
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: those in the UK, doesn't even make sense in that context.

233
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: That means something different here in the US. But right, so,

234
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: uh yeah, that's the the first I guess chemical toilet,

235
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: which is a designation of a porta potty, right, like

236
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: a porta potty is a chemical toilet, but not all

237
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: chemical toilets are porta parties. But a chemical toilet is

238
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: any kind of toilet where you have um something in

239
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: there that's intended to break down waste. And actually I

240
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: don't know that an elson toilet, I guess it was

241
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: a chemical toilet. I see now, but that's gross because

242
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: in addition to getting the rest of the cruise poop

243
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: and pe slopped up against your rear end, Um, so too,

244
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: were you getting very very hazardous chemicals as well? Yeah,

245
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: so that's a good man. That guy may have had

246
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: his buttocks removed after the war. Uh. One of the

247
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: uses of the toilet they said that this is supposedly

248
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: very true, is that some members of the Royal Air

249
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: Force um actually jettisoned the Elson toilets with their bomb

250
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: payload onto German targets. So they would drop these toilets

251
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: will apoo on the Germans. Mm hmm. And uh that

252
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: was an American too, had a great quote about peeing

253
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: through the little hose. He said, as the urine ran

254
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: through the tube, it turned to ice and dropped like

255
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: topaz colored hail to the ground. I like to imagine

256
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: every time I urinated over Germany, my my acidulous projectile

257
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: would plank on some Nazi Burger's aryan nose poetry. Yeah,

258
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: there's some more good stories in here. You should, uh man.

259
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember which website it was. Yeah, I'll have to.

260
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: I have to post that later on Facebook and I'll

261
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: tweet it. All right. So that's the the war effort

262
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: that eventually ultimately led to the creation of the porta potty, right,

263
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: and and again like there were already latrines, there had

264
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: already been out houses. And the difference between an out

265
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: house and a porta potty is that and out houses

266
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: basically some sort of rigid structure that's intended to be

267
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: permanent or semipermanent, permanent that's dug over a hole in

268
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: the ground. That's it. A porta potty is a self

269
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: contained unit that has a place where the waste goes

270
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: and is held inside that unit rather than like put

271
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: into the ground, which is extremely dangerous that we learned

272
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: a very long time ago. Pooping in holes in the

273
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: ground is not a good way to go as far

274
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: as public health is concerned. And that's one of the

275
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: legitimate um marks in the favor of porta potts is

276
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: gross as as most people who have ever used one

277
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: thinks they are. They're actually, um, quite beneficial to public health. Yeah,

278
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: and they're green too. Saves a lot of water. Yeah.

279
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: I saw, um a hundred and seventy billion leaders a year,

280
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: about a hundred and twenty five million gallons a day

281
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: in the US alone. Yeah. So, um, you want to

282
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: take a break for a second, Yeah, we'll break in.

283
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit more about the evolution of

284
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: the porta John. Right after this should know y s

285
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: a Dr Josh Clark. Alright, Chuckers, So we're talking about

286
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: the evolution of the porta John. You've got the Andy Gump,

287
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: You've got the Elson toilet, and then finally and actually

288
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: the sixties, you have what is the what we think

289
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: of as a porta potty. Um a patent was developed

290
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: by a guy named George Harding Um and he called

291
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: it for a portable toilet cabana and that was made

292
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: from plastic and um. Although he had the patent for it,

293
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: the guy who actually gets credit for actually creating the

294
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: first real modern porta john reporta potty was a guy

295
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: named Um Harvey Heather and he created what's called the

296
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Strong Box. It's a great name. Did you see Have

297
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: you seen the Strong Box? Oh? You did? That's what

298
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: I went and found the December two thousand nine UM

299
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: issue of Pro magazine. Um to find because I saw

300
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: a reference that they had published a picture of it,

301
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find it anywhere else. Those things are ugly, Yeah,

302
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't a great looking Uh, it's not

303
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: like the fantastic port to John. Say, have today. Yeah,

304
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: so gorgeous to look at right now. This thing was ugly. Yeah,

305
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: it had no alibi. Uh. Yeah. And these were made

306
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: of fiberglass, which, um, it was good. It was lightweight

307
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: but um, and it was sturdy. It was as sturdy

308
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: as metal or wood, and it was a lot easier

309
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: to clean. But the problem with the strong box and

310
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: the fiberglasses it was a big kind of one piece

311
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: mold um. It was dark inside, which was not good. Uh.

312
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: They weren't stackable as far as transporting them, and so

313
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: that just made it really expensive to get them where

314
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: they needed to go and back again. It did. And

315
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: the fact that like it was completely opaque um and

316
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: there was no light that could get in. That's that's

317
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: an issue. Plus I also get the impression that the

318
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: floors could get pretty slick and you could fall and

319
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: die of physitional asphyxiation and important. Yeah. And they were

320
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: also fiberglasses pretty fragile, so they would break a lot. Uh.

321
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: Fiberglass absorbs odors, which was not good. Uh. And so

322
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: shortly after the fiberglass came along, someone said, you know what,

323
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: how about poly ethylene um. This is what we will use,

324
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: and George Harding who you meant and co founded the

325
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Polly John Corporation, and he started building the polyethylene portable

326
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: toilets that were much better because they lasted longer. They

327
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: would last like a decade, although I would not want

328
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: to use a nine year old port of John. Well,

329
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: so the that picture of the strong box that was

330
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: published in Pro magazine apparently had been out in service.

331
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: It was still in service and it had been built

332
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: like thirty years before. Well, yeah, you would know that

333
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: your company could not have cared less about you if

334
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: you show up to your job site and there's a

335
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: strong box there. Yeah, and that's what you're expected to

336
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: use with all of the with all of the possible

337
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: choices that your company, uh could choose from, and they

338
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: went with the strong box. They don't care about you

339
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: or your happiness. The polyethylene and the other good thing

340
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: about them where they were assembled into different parts and pieces.

341
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: So it made him a lot easier to transport, a

342
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: lot cheaper. Uh. And if apart broke, you might be

343
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: able to replace it. Oh yeah, that that's kind of good.

344
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: Makes sense. So hooray for poly ethylene toilets. But one

345
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: of the things that George Harding um created in this

346
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: patent that I noticed was a ventilation system. This is

347
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: a big improvement, right, because when you're just piling human

348
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: waste upon human waste into a hole, um that it's

349
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: going to create gases, noxious gases, because bacteria is going

350
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: to start decomposing that waste, and as a byproduct of

351
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: that decomposition, they're going to produce what we see what

352
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: we experience as rotting fecal material. Right, It's not just

353
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: that it's stinky, it's dangerous. It is dangerous and as

354
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: that gas tries to find a way to escape upward,

355
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: if the only hole available to it is the toilet

356
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: that you're pooping or peeing into, those gases are going

357
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: to come out of it and you're going to vomit

358
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: while you pooper p as well. So what George Harding

359
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: had I told you this one is going to be cruts.

360
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: But George Harding figured out was that if you could

361
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: just basically create a pipe venting off that gas upward

362
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: and out of the porter potty, people would be willing

363
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: to use porter potties a lot more. And that was

364
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: a huge improvement. Yeah, he also said, how about we

365
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: make this rooftop translucent white, so we can let in

366
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: some natural light. At least, why don't we improve the

367
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: flooring so that it's not as slippy and um, Maybe

368
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: even further down the line, we'll have porter potties that

369
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: have a little urnal that's separate, so you don't even

370
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: have to sit your butt down on that most horrid

371
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: of places. Right, Yeah, what about the rollaround toilet? Did

372
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: you see these? Yeah? Those? I mean that it makes sense.

373
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: So basically, if you are on like a job site,

374
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: right um, where there are like different multiple stories being

375
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: built and you're up on one of the higher stories,

376
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: it's the same thing as when you're working in the

377
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: shipyards building a ship. You don't want to have to

378
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: come all the way down to use the bathroom. So

379
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: they created porta potties that were a lot more mobile,

380
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: that could be um hoisted by cranes. Um. Just two

381
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: different different levels. Yeah, if you look up roll around toilet,

382
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: it basically looks like one of those um coolers that

383
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: has the two wheels and the handle and you can

384
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: pull the cooler around, except it's larger and um sitting

385
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: above the wheels is a is a urinal, Right, I

386
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: don't see how you go poopy in those, So maybe

387
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's when you go downstairs. Uh yeah, I don't

388
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: know either because it's not enclosed or anything, and it's

389
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: just wide open, just like prison. And there's actually a great, um,

390
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: a great scene from I think the First Police Academy

391
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: starring our friend and Twitter followers Steve Guttenberg and um,

392
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: I think it's Mauser who uses a porta potty and

393
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: Steve Guttenberg goes over and gets some some crane operator

394
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: to lend him the crane. And now it's Mouser's um,

395
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: his right hand man. I don't remember that guy's name,

396
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: but they lift the porta potty up while he's inside

397
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: using it. It's hilarious, wacky wacky stuff and sues. Uh.

398
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: And then if you really are living the good life,

399
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: or you have a maybe a really nice upscale wedding

400
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: that's out in a remote area, you don't want to

401
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: bring in just even the nicest polly ethylene porta John

402
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: won't do. You will bring in what we call in

403
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: in the movie business, a honey wagon. Um it is

404
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: a restroom trailer. And these are actually nice. They are

405
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: have running water, they have stalls, they have porcelain, uh, toilets,

406
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: it's all partition. They have sinks and running water and mirrors,

407
00:24:54,400 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: hand towels. It's like a rolling trailer full of toilets. Yeah.

408
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: Like you can breathe through your nose in these things.

409
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: You could lay down on the floor if you want to. Yeah.

410
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: And apparently these first started in nineteen four h Polly

411
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: John in Columbus, Ohio. Go buck, guys. Yeah, And the

412
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: original trailer was eight stalls or as we said in

413
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: the movie business, an eight banger at three journals, and

414
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: it was thirty two ft long. And now there are

415
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: nineteen companies manufacturing luxury restroom trailers around the world today. Yeah.

416
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: I saw one um like that they market for like

417
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: outdoor weddings and stuff like that. They said, all you

418
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: need are like I think six outlets, maybe six and

419
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: twenty bowl outlets. Yeah, and like standard garden hose connection.

420
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: And you got yourself a luxury porter potty trailer. Yeah

421
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: for your next remote black tie event. Right, what's I mean?

422
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: Even people in black tie got a pee? Yeah, sure,

423
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: so you might as well take it easy on them

424
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: with a nice looks trailer. That's right. So, speaking of Chuck,

425
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: you want to you want to take a break. Yeah,

426
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to a real bathroom and hug it.

427
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: And I'm going to get a crane operator to pull

428
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: a prank on you. All right, we'll be right back.

429
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: That's why you should know, Clark. Okay, chuck, Yep. We

430
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: can't put it off any longer. We gotta go inside.

431
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna go inside, deep dive into the bowels of

432
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: the porta pot Oh my gosh. Okay, okay, you're ready, Yeah,

433
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: catch your snorkel. Okay. So when you look into a

434
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: porter potty, you may notice that the stuff that's inside

435
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the bowl or inside the holding tank is blue. Yeah,

436
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: and brown, but it's more blue than brown. And that's

437
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: no accident, that's right. Any porta potty is going to

438
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: use a deep blue dye. In the entire purpose, from

439
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: beginning to end of the blue dye is to visually

440
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: mask the presence of human feces. Yeah, they don't. They

441
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: don't want you looking down there and seeing. Uh if

442
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: it was just like clear, like it's already disgusting. You're

443
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: you're getting the full experience from the smell alone. You

444
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: don't need the visual and and you don't pooping these

445
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: things to you? Oh no, okay, no, I I think

446
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: I would just put my pants and walk around instead.

447
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I would. I certainly don't

448
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: remember ever pooping in it. It's possible I blacked out

449
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: that memory, but I don't think I ever have it, right,

450
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: I the only time I pooped in these. I'm sure

451
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: there's been like some extreme emergency, But the only time

452
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: I can really recall is when Emily and I were

453
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,239
Speaker 1: getting our master bath built at our house. Um, we

454
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: had our own we had another little bathroom kind of

455
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: you know, a little small guest bathroom, and we shared that,

456
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: and then we had a construction toilet on site because

457
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: they were doing construction. And so I would get up

458
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: in the mornings exse. I didn't want to. I want

459
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: to be a good husband, you know, and not ruin

460
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: Emily's day in morning, um by getting in there first.

461
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: So I would. I would get my newspaper and I

462
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: would walk outside in my slippers and and use the

463
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: port to john in my driveway every morning. But I mean,

464
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: I guess it was pretty clean. It was yours, right,

465
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: it was great. It was me and like you know,

466
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: two or three dudes. That's that is doable. Festival no

467
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Taste of Chicago, Like, yes, there's there are like of course,

468
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: like surely if you're sharing a porta potty with a

469
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: couple of other people that you have to look at

470
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: I hear there, you're gonna take care of it. But

471
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: if it's random drunk strangers or people on drugs or

472
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: something like that, you, uh, it's gonna get messy awfully fast.

473
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: And and again it's more and more people use it,

474
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: that blue dye becomes more and more important. Right, there's

475
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: also gonna be a fragrance that they're gonna add to

476
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: hopefully mass the odor. And apparently, well I was reading

477
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: in some uh some trade magazines, and I haven't experienced

478
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: it myself, but I did get the impression that they

479
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: have come a long way as far as fragrance goes. Yeah,

480
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: like I saw, um, you can get bubblegum fragrance. This

481
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good vanilla um that comes from just standard

482
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: use of the Taste of Chicago. Yeah, I mean, you know,

483
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: me with fragrance is period with it. It's even worse

484
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: to um everything bagel. No. But like I came across

485
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: the site and there's like a Jaguar brand porta potty

486
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: fragrance additive, and they have like any fragrance you can imagine,

487
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: wow uh. And then the finally final thing you're gonna

488
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: see down there, or that it's going to be down

489
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: there are biosides to kill the bacteria microbes and UM.

490
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: Used to be that they would use formaldehyde uh to

491
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: take care of that, but more and more wastewater treatment

492
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: plants UM started saying, hey, we can't properly dispose of

493
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: that stuff now carcinogen, and we don't feel good about it.

494
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: So they've been phasing that out over the years, going

495
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: a little greener and now UM they actually use enzymes

496
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: like beneficial enzymes and microbes that feed on this stuff. Right,

497
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: they feed they helped break down the poop, and they

498
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: also feed on the bacteria that causes the smells. Right,

499
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: So they're making the poop, and but they're also naturally

500
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: cutting down and smells, which I just find fascinating. UM.

501
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: They also, since it's capable of breaking down UM bacteria,

502
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: it's also capable of breaking down UM any organic material,

503
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: so that if you use the right kind of toilet paper,

504
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: they'll break down the toilet paper as well. Yeah, it's

505
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: just basically magic in a in a porter potty. Yeah.

506
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 1: And they the other benefit there is they don't need

507
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: to be emptied as often. Um, if it's doing the

508
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: job like it should. Yeah. Um, weather has an effect obviously.

509
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: If you're in Georgia in the hot summer, things are

510
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: gonna get even worse. I imagine Chicago and July is

511
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: probably no picnic either, and the taste of Chicago. No

512
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: one's gonna go to the taste of Chicago anywhere you're

513
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: like attended stop by this year. You don't know what's

514
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: going on. But when temperatures go up, bacteria go to

515
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: work even harder, and things are just gonna smell even worse.

516
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 1: So they might actually use more chemicals and the summer

517
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: um or more chemicals, especially if it's a summer festival.

518
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: And then conversely, I saw this, I guess it was

519
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: a blog post by a m porta potti worker, that

520
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: was published on Cracked, and um, they basically just went

521
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: over most of the stuff you can imagine, but just

522
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: crazy stuff that they found. Um. But one of the

523
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: things that they made reference to is that the worst

524
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: thing that they can encounter is um for a frozen waste,

525
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: because they said, once that happens, you have to break

526
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: it up by hand. Ah, So to protect to defend

527
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: their people from having to do this, they well, typically

528
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: in colder, colder areas during the winter, they'll they'll create

529
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: a briny mixture that will have a lower freezing temperature,

530
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: like the Minnesota ice Fishing festival. Right, But eventually you're

531
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: going to reach a point where it's cold enough that

532
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: it's it's freezing no matter how much salt you add

533
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, and I did see one of their

534
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: little tricks of the trade is they put a a

535
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: cake of this rock salt in the urinal, so you

536
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: go peepy on it, and as you peep on it,

537
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: it just adds a little more salt slowly throughout the day. Right.

538
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: The only issue with those is that you have to

539
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: keep the deer away because they love salt. Licks you

540
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: like that one. Yeah, I'm ashamed of basically every joke

541
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: I've made this whole episode. I don't feel good about

542
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,719
Speaker 1: myself right now. All right, So uh, let's finish up

543
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: by talking about the really the worst part of this.

544
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: If you're one of like eight people still listening, Uh,

545
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: if you're still listening, then we'll finish up with the

546
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: worst part, which is servicing these things. And we talked

547
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: about it. It's like a wet back. You suck it out,

548
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: drive it to a waste water plant. But uh, you

549
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: have to add new water. You have to add new

550
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: blue junk, uh and some more or dry solution. And

551
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: I saw I saw like a ratio of one to

552
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: one about fresh water to solution. We don't want to

553
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: mess that up. Uh. And you think like, all right,

554
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: so that's pretty gross and everything. But um, especially at

555
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: like a music festival or something, there's stuff everywhere, Like

556
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: you've been in these there's there's urine everywhere, there's poop

557
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: and places where you think, like what in the world

558
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: was someone doing in there? And they have to be

559
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: cleaned out by somebody. It's an awful job. Yeah, there's

560
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: um stuff that people drop down there, Like if you

561
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: use the sock to wipe your bottom with and you

562
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: just deposit the sock into the porta potty, that's gonna

563
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: as you jump up the tank or the pump. Um.

564
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: So they have to get that kind of stuff out first.

565
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: What about your cell phone cell phone? Yeah, apparently they

566
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: find all sorts of stuff, especially things like phones, wallets

567
00:34:54,719 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: full of cash, jewelry, drugs, gun yeah, guns. I that

568
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: correct guy said that, Um he had a friend who

569
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: showed up at a porta potty where they just found

570
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: a body. Oh my god. Yeah, and the thing now

571
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: in the porta potty, not in the actual hole. That's

572
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: just cruel. Yeah, but um, yeah, they find all sorts

573
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: of stuff because almost everybody would say, well, that's gone.

574
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: I'll just have to get a new identity because I

575
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: dropped my whole wallet into porta potty. Actually, I saw

576
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: a stat where five percent of people that go into

577
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: porta potties don't come out at all. So right, the

578
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: dead body scenario makes sense. They end up in that

579
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: other dimension from phantasm. Uh. And then our article says,

580
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario if you're a porta potty service

581
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: person is uh that the porta potty, Well, there's two

582
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: worst case, one worse and one way worse. One is

583
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: if it just gets knocked over, either by a car

584
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: hitting it, or the wind, or some jerk you think

585
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: it's funny, that's not cool, knocks it not cool at all,

586
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: knocks it over on purpose. But the ultimate ultimate worst

587
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: is if it tips over on its door. That's its

588
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: achilles heel, any porta potties achilles heel, because what happens,

589
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: all of the stuff that's in the holding tank gets

590
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: dumped out. When it's facing on its front on the door,

591
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: all of the stuff is liable to come out, and

592
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: it does, especially when they pick it back up. It

593
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: just slashes around everywhere, and the poor porta potty service

594
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: operator has to wash this thing out. And those are

595
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: the worst. Like it, Like somebody can put poop like

596
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: on the ceiling or on the walls or something that's

597
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: pretty bad. But when it falls on its front on

598
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: the door and everything slashes out, it gets everywhere, so

599
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: you have to like get inside to clean the whole thing.

600
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: And at the very least, it takes them a lot

601
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: more time and screws up their entire day's schedule. At

602
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: the worst, they're in there cleaning a filthy porta potties

603
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: nook and crannies from the inside. Yeah, I would just

604
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 1: say it fell off the truck, boss, right, Sorry, it's

605
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: in that phantasm to mention, Boss, didn't Jack asked do

606
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: one of these, like put one of them in there

607
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: and tip it over or something. Yeah, I'm sure I

608
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: think they did that when they were like four. Yeah,

609
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: I think they did, like I had a crane lift

610
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: it and turn it over something. I don't know. No,

611
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking police academy and also police academy geeks. You

612
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: don't have to write in it was Police Academy three.

613
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: So I was about to say I didn't remember that.

00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: You didn't see what na I think I petered out

615
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,719

Speaker 1: name of it? Uh? Citizens on Patrol? Okay, it's the

618
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: one where Bob Goldthwaite like goes over from his life

619
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: of crime to being a junior police academy guy. Yeah,

622
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: actually I do know. If you see these porta potty

623
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: service people in your neighborhood, if there's construction going on,

624
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: you see them, bring in the truck, just flash a

625
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: nice smile, give him a tip of the cap. It's

626
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: a really gnarly job, and like they say, somebody's got

627
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: to do it. They're making a living like they've got

628
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: a job. They went out and got that job to

629
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: make money and provide for their family. And don't forget,

630
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: they're defending public health and they're saving a significant amount

631
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: of water. So there you go, nice chuck, all right,

632
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: good way to finish. If you want to know more

633
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 1: about porta potties, you can type those that hyphenated word

634
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: on the search bar at how stuff works dot com.

635
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: And since they said hyphen it's time for listening. Now

636
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this quick. John please uh direction or

637
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: John please exactly. Congratulations on an absolutely marvelous episode concerning

638
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: Monty Python guys. It's great to hear so much of

639
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: the history of the group. Well done. One bit of information.

640
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: I happen to see John Klees present a one man

641
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: show a few years ago in Carmel, California. He just

642
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: stood on stage and talked for about seventy five minutes.

643
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: Um boy, that's a good gig. He discussed his life

644
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: in general, Python in particular, and lots of things. Other

645
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: things he noticed noted that his name is pronounced to

646
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: rhyme with cheese rather than fleece. In fact, his surname

647
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: was originally Cheese, but his father changed it to CLEAs. Uh.

648
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: This was a good thing for the Sun being named

649
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: John because he did not want to go by Jack Cheese. Yeah,

650
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: I guess not, so it's John Clees. Never knew that

651
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: that's from David Hewett. Yeah. And um, I also want

652
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: to say, Chuck, somebody called us out for not mentioning

653
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: Carol Cleveland. She was, for all intents and purposes, he

654
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: seventh member of Monty Python. Yeah. We felt terrible because

655
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: she was in our notes and we mentioned her and

656
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: lavish praise on her and our runthrough that we did

657
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: in the studio and it was just one of those

658
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: live show things that get got biased. Yep. So sorry,
