Speaker 1: Can ninety nine percent of plumbing problems be solved with
Speaker 1: a plunger? No, okay, you got a plunger? No, I
Speaker 1: don't think I do either.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have a plunger. You guys got plungers? Yep, yes,
Speaker 1: Huh Pasha Pasha Shows Show. Welcome to todh show with
Speaker 1: me as always Eddie. How you doing, Eddie?

Speaker 1: new song.
Speaker 3: Why be a biter? Just be a pincher. I like it.
Speaker 1: I like you.
Speaker 3: I don't know what, because pinching is a way to
Speaker 3: make friends.
Speaker 1: Okay says that is a good song.
Speaker 2: It's for kids.
Speaker 1: You know what you are? You're like like that Wayne Brady.
Speaker 1: You're like you're like a nice Wayne Brady. Uh, it's funny.
Speaker 1: All right, Well we got a great show today. Uh
Speaker 1: minus the first part of the show where I get
Speaker 1: some feedback from some of the commenters. This always puts
Speaker 1: me in a swell mood.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of comments people not knowing what
Speaker 3: a lettuce trim is huh.
Speaker 1: Well, no, it's not like an urban dictionary thing. But
Speaker 1: as it's been told to me over the years, it's
Speaker 1: it was just a U. It's a slang term for
Speaker 1: a cosmetic surgery where some women's uh, you know, labia
Speaker 1: flap and hang low a little bit and they cut
Speaker 1: it back, you know. And so instead of instead of this,
Speaker 1: it's it's more more like this.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 4: From the fire Festival episode, how about I buy a
Speaker 4: condo for six hundred K and spend the other four
Speaker 4: hundred k going to normal, amazing music festivals for the
Speaker 4: rest of my life.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many million dollar tickets he's going
Speaker 1: to sell, but I mean, he seems he seems like
Speaker 1: he's got good intentions.
Speaker 4: Daniel continues to dress to the nines. I need to know,
Speaker 4: are you wearing a T shirt under these sweaters? Or
Speaker 4: is this sweater on skin?
Speaker 3: Thanks?
Speaker 1: Look, this is a it's it's all about the nip.
Speaker 1: If my nipple shows through the sweater, I wear an undershirt.
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, then I go.
Speaker 4: Bear back from the fire Festival episode, when Billy got out,
Speaker 4: he celebrated a shrimp. This says, I'm a seafood industry
Speaker 4: expert fifteen years dealing especially with wild salmon and Costco.
Speaker 3: Sakey salmon is number one, and I know why.
Speaker 1: You picked that. You're trying to justify it is good
Speaker 1: saying why you buy seafood from Costco. There you have it, folks,
Speaker 1: that's from an.
Speaker 4: Expert comments on your TV show Hijacked. I've been an
Speaker 4: airline pilot for thirty plus years. I've never carried a
Speaker 4: metal thermos with me to work or known anyone who has.
Speaker 4: Is that for lunch and break room with a pack
Speaker 4: of SIGs.
Speaker 1: Thirty years plus. This guy's been in the cockpit, never
Speaker 1: once had a metal thermos, just in case he needed
Speaker 1: to bash his co pilot within an inch of her life.
Speaker 4: This is from the George Former episode when did the
Speaker 4: full disclosure that his wife was white. Such a beta
Speaker 4: move to have to clarify that George's wife is white,
Speaker 4: and then he wasn't trying to perpetuate a stereotype that
Speaker 4: all black people are late to everything even if his
Speaker 4: wife was black.
Speaker 2: Who cares?
Speaker 4: Tosh must have had his testicles removed by Hollywood when
Speaker 4: he moved there you done.
Speaker 1: I know there was a lot of people that wrote
Speaker 1: stuff like this, and I hope all of them are
Speaker 1: listening right now, Okay, because I don't like to do this.
Speaker 1: I don't like to explain to you why I'm better
Speaker 1: at comedy than you are, Okay, but I'm going to.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to show you how the sausage is made,
Speaker 1: because first of all, let's be clear, I don't give
Speaker 1: a fuck about making a shitty joke about black people
Speaker 1: being late, Okay, And how I know that you don't
Speaker 1: get what I did is by people commenting like that.
Speaker 1: The reason I put that full disclosure comment in is
Speaker 1: because the next story that I told in the interview
Speaker 1: was about when I messed with his wife at a
Speaker 1: playground and said it was the kid that looks like
Speaker 1: George Foreman. And if you didn't know that she was
Speaker 1: white before that story, and you thought maybe she was black,
Speaker 1: then it's not a funny thing to say the kid
Speaker 1: that looks like George Foreman. When the guy responded, oh
Speaker 1: is she black? Do you understand? So you needed to
Speaker 1: know that she was white before that. But I couldn't
Speaker 1: just write on the screen, by the way, George's wife
Speaker 1: is white because a majority of our listeners YouTube, I know,
Speaker 1: you might not want to hear this. Are still only
Speaker 1: listening to this in audio form, so it would be lost.
Speaker 1: So I had to make this little thing in front
Speaker 1: of it because I'm like, oh shit, I forgot to
Speaker 1: say that is what wife was white in any way
Speaker 1: to make this story make sense about teasing this guy
Speaker 1: that was trying to figure out which kid was his. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that made sense to you or not.
Speaker 1: And then in doing that little full disclosure, I tried
Speaker 1: to put jokes in there by saying, you know, white
Speaker 1: is the absence of color, which, by the way, people,
Speaker 1: technically that's not true. It is true. Black is the
Speaker 1: absence of light, not color. I don't even want to
Speaker 1: go into it with those fucking idiots. But and then
Speaker 1: I also got to do a dig at making fun
Speaker 1: of Cubans for always being late. Again, I'm just layering
Speaker 1: comedy in there to set up another joke down the
Speaker 1: road where you needed this information. Also, I got to
Speaker 1: make fun one of the fact that his wife swears
Speaker 1: all the time, which I forgot to do in the
Speaker 1: interview because everyone thinks she's a saint, So that was
Speaker 1: also a part of it. It's exhausting, have some compassion,
Speaker 1: you know, I was born fully libed hearted. Okay, you
Speaker 1: chose to be a magai.
Speaker 4: Ref growing up listening to focus on the family sermons
Speaker 4: as wild, especially how Tosh was able to leave all
Speaker 4: that heavy conservatism behind, because that's not just regular conservatism,
Speaker 4: that's conservatism on crack.
Speaker 1: See. I've been on both sides of it my whole life.
Speaker 1: Can't we all just wash each other's feet? Hmm ah,
Speaker 1: that'd be a good ad campaign, you know, putting our
Speaker 1: differences aside, but just washing each other's feet. Somebody should
Speaker 1: make that something.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of discussion on why you want to
Speaker 4: protect women's reproductive rights.
Speaker 2: Mmmm.
Speaker 3: Classic using the underage rape example.
Speaker 4: Lol. Rape account for one percent of all abortions one percent,
Speaker 4: so GTFO using that straw man bs, and only two
Speaker 4: percent are from medical emergencies. Over ninety five percent of
Speaker 4: abortions are completely voluntary from people who made a choice
Speaker 4: to have unprotected sex or sex out of marriage, people
Speaker 4: who did those things without any intention of having a child.
Speaker 4: Those people are murderers.
Speaker 1: I respect your opinion because you believe they're murdering babies,
Speaker 1: and I don't believe that. And let's say that your
Speaker 1: stats are right, there's only one percent. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna argue the fact that in stual rape
Speaker 1: is the least reported. But let's say the number is
Speaker 1: way less. Let's say it's only happened one time. If
Speaker 1: you're telling me you're okay with killing that baby, then
Speaker 1: your argument loses a little credibility because I'm okay with
Speaker 1: it at any stage. I don't believe it's murderer. I
Speaker 1: do want to thank you for commenting, because everybody who comments,
Speaker 1: you know, it adds to the popularity of the videos
Speaker 1: and ultimately leads to more proper And I want you
Speaker 1: to know that I am taking some of the money
Speaker 1: from ad revenue and using it to donate to abortion
Speaker 1: clinics and to pay for abortions. So therefore, everyone who
Speaker 1: has commented or watched a video of mine, you technically,
Speaker 1: by definition, are an accessory to murder. All right, Now,
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna affect some sponsorships, but I want you
Speaker 1: to know that that technically, in Alabama right now, you
Speaker 1: would serve fifteen years in prison. And when you pass
Speaker 1: away and get up those pearly gates on judgment day,
Speaker 1: you will be turned away. I'm sorry, those are the rules,
Speaker 1: all right? What any moore Eddie?
Speaker 3: We got one more?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a comment about your son's bedtime stories. For
Speaker 4: a story about helicopters, he sure did focus a lot
Speaker 4: on the boat.
Speaker 1: My son catching strays. I mean, you're critiquing a three
Speaker 1: year old's stories. All right, let's get today's interview. Today's
Speaker 1: guest is a plumber, but he's not my plumber. I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, I considered interviewing my plumber, but I'm I'm
Speaker 1: just pretty sure he wouldn't be the right fit for
Speaker 1: this format. One time I was talking to him, he
Speaker 1: was trying to fix something on my toilet. He's just
Speaker 1: leaning on the open The lid's open, but the part
Speaker 1: that my butt sits on every day, he's just leaning
Speaker 1: on it. Sitting on the floor talking to me and
Speaker 1: like we're talking for way too long for him to
Speaker 1: just still just be leaning. And then mid conversation goes,
Speaker 1: you got heated seats, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, I do,
Speaker 1: I've got heated seats all right. By the way, today's podcast,
Speaker 1: you might have noticed the video quality is being broadcasting
Speaker 1: four K and that's that's awesome, But we are experiencing
Speaker 1: a few audio difficulties. So we've gotten the visual element up,
Speaker 1: but the audio element occasionally is going to sound like
Speaker 1: utter shit. But you know, growing pains. Huh. Enjoy, Pasha,
Speaker 1: My guest today has seen some shit. Now I will
Speaker 1: be focusing ninety percent of my questions on shit because
Speaker 1: I'm sure as shit not going to trade school. Please
Speaker 1: welcome Jimmy the Plumber. Jimmy, thank you for being here,
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. My first question, Jimmy that
Speaker 1: I ask all my guests. Do you believe in ghosts?
Speaker 2: No? Really?
Speaker 1: All right, Jimmy. How long have you been a plumber?
Speaker 2: About fourteen years?
Speaker 1: Fourteen years?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Did you always want to be a plumber?
Speaker 2: Nope?
Speaker 1: Did you come from a long line of plumbers?
Speaker 2: Nope? Not at all.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, you pee in the shower?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, who doesn't.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't know it doesn't I do. It's okay
Speaker 1: to write, it's it's okay for the plumb. That water
Speaker 1: that's all going to a gray all right, okay, it's
Speaker 1: good for you. Like a shower?
Speaker 2: You prefer bath shower cold showers?
Speaker 1: Do you like a cold shower?
Speaker 2: Showers.
Speaker 1: You're nuts.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't do a hell water.
Speaker 1: You don't use hot water, Jimmy, that's the craziest thing
Speaker 1: I've ever heard. What are you telling you?
Speaker 2: Well, that's the best for your for you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm trusting me for you. I believe you.
Speaker 1: But but it doesn't feel good.
Speaker 2: Well the first the first few they see it is
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. And then you get used to it.
Speaker 2: You get used to it, You get used to it jumping.
Speaker 2: You know, cold.
Speaker 1: Showers, how long do you shower for?
Speaker 2: Like five minutes?
Speaker 1: Okay, see I like the shower for a good fifty
Speaker 1: five minutes. Get out of here, Like I like a
Speaker 1: nice hot shower. You're a kid, so you always do
Speaker 1: cold showers.
Speaker 2: So you like all the steam coming out steam.
Speaker 1: I like to brush my teeth in there too, with
Speaker 1: hot water. My wife takes a shower and she has
Speaker 1: water so hot, and I don't even believe that she's
Speaker 1: touching the water or it's not even hitting her. She
Speaker 1: just kind of moves back and forth. Unlet's just like
Speaker 1: hit her hands in front of her. She's like, what
Speaker 1: do you do? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: Where are you originally from from Garland, Texas?
Speaker 1: You like Texas?
Speaker 2: I like it?
Speaker 1: I like it? Now you like it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: California is right? So are you everybody wants to live California?
Speaker 1: Are you one of these people that wants to jump ship,
Speaker 1: leave California and go back to Texas?
Speaker 2: I have family out there. Most of my family is
Speaker 2: in Texas.
Speaker 1: So do you think you're gonna end up back in Texas?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Don't wantase California, Jammy, that's that's not
Speaker 1: what you do.
Speaker 2: Okay? Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you married?
Speaker 2: Legally married?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Are you legally married? You're not married, but you
Speaker 1: have a serious relationship?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, I want to get into legality.
Speaker 1: How'd you get into being a plumber?
Speaker 2: Basically? You know, I was between you know, going to college.
Speaker 2: I went to college and back and forth doing you know,
Speaker 2: part time jobs.
Speaker 1: Why were you going to college just.
Speaker 2: To make my family happy?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: You felt obligated?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, basically my parents that are like, oh, you
Speaker 2: got to go to college. You gotta you know, you
Speaker 2: gotta finish school, you gotta do something. And that was
Speaker 2: the reason I was going. But you know, I will
Speaker 2: go to college. I would just take general classes and
Speaker 2: some dumb classes as well.
Speaker 1: Sure I took I took team sports and my team
Speaker 1: sports class, Dante Culpepper was in there and we played
Speaker 1: dodgeball one day and it was very scary. I get
Speaker 1: in trouble for this sometimes where I say people shouldn't
Speaker 1: go to college, and I don't really mean it, but
Speaker 1: I do think if you know what you want to
Speaker 1: do in life and you don't need college, like, don't
Speaker 1: don't saddle yourself with debt going to college exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: So, like I said, I was going to college with
Speaker 2: part time jobs, you know, doing I was as a
Speaker 2: clerk for a bank.
Speaker 1: All right, for you were a banker, and being a
Speaker 1: banker is so boring that you're like, I would much
Speaker 1: rather be you know.
Speaker 2: You know what I hate about the thing what I
Speaker 2: was having a partner job is one of those locations
Speaker 2: in the middle of nowhere you get like, you know,
Speaker 2: three or four clients an hour. Probably I was the
Speaker 2: only a male clerk in the mank. The rest all girls.
Speaker 1: That's nice, it's nice, but okay, you.
Speaker 2: Know, here's the thing. They're in the own little world,
Speaker 2: you know, talking about their stuff. Sure, and I'm here,
Speaker 2: you know, just sitting there waiting for my client to
Speaker 2: show up. Since the old female, they will get all
Speaker 2: the clients, so would just sit there. It was, you know, boring.
Speaker 1: My My father in law is a banker and he
Speaker 1: just loves to talk about it, acts like it's the
Speaker 1: most exciting thing in the world. And I just stare
Speaker 1: at him. So you dropped out of college to be
Speaker 1: a plumber?
Speaker 2: Basically? Yeah. So, like I said, I was going to college.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to do with my life. You know,
Speaker 2: I was parrying college working. Finally this family party, my
Speaker 2: brother in law at the time, you know, he came
Speaker 2: up to me. He's like, hey, you know, do you
Speaker 2: know do you know any anybody wants to work plumbing?
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I can probably ask a couple of friends,
Speaker 2: you know. And then he goes like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: the pay is good, the minimum which was you know,
Speaker 2: they were paying like like four or five dollars more
Speaker 2: than the minimum wage. Okay, you don't have to know anything.
Speaker 2: You know, had to have tools. I was thinking about it,
Speaker 2: like I said, I was. I was in the bank.
Speaker 2: So I spoke to my manager at that time. You
Speaker 2: know in the bank, I'm like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 2: I need a week you know, I'm having you know,
Speaker 2: some finals and going.
Speaker 1: On okaye the line, yeah right, normal, right, Sure, you're
Speaker 1: double dipping. You're still getting paid by the bank, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna go check out. See if you want to
Speaker 1: be a plumber. You don't want to. I get it. Listen,
Speaker 1: it makes complete sense, all right. And so you agreed that, hey,
Speaker 1: this is this is a good switch. I'm done. I'm
Speaker 1: going to do this for a living.
Speaker 2: So I asked for a week off. I called my
Speaker 2: my brother in law and like, hey, you know what,
Speaker 2: I want to give it a try. And he's like
Speaker 2: you sure, yeah, And he's like it's it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's pretty tough to to you know what you're going
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 1: Why is he trying to like get you to not
Speaker 1: do it? When he first asked you to do.
Speaker 2: It, well, he asked me if I knew anybody, Oh,
Speaker 2: he didn't want it to be you.
Speaker 1: I guess you know what it was was your parents
Speaker 1: upset that you dropped out of college.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 1: Yes, but you're like Mark Zuckerberg, except with toilets. Mark
Speaker 1: zucker dropped out. Just do the Facebook, whatever that stuff.
Speaker 1: I like that, I said, the Facebook, I remember. And
Speaker 1: then how long until you opened your own company?
Speaker 2: I will say maybe six seven years?
Speaker 1: And has it been easy starting your own company? Or
Speaker 1: was it? Was it difficult?
Speaker 2: I got my license and then I knew this friend, right,
Speaker 2: he's been doing plumbing forever. So I came up to him.
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, you know what, I have a license.
Speaker 2: Now you had a client. What do you say if
Speaker 2: we partnership? And then he's like, you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's a good idea. Let's do it right away. From
Speaker 2: the get go, I had clients and I was working
Speaker 2: with you know, like city jobs pretty much, you know,
Speaker 2: so it was pretty good, you know, like I didn't
Speaker 2: struggle at the beginning, like after we split it. I
Speaker 2: was with him for about two years. And then after
Speaker 2: we split, you know, because obviously you know, after two
Speaker 2: thousand and a, everything you know, slowed down.
Speaker 1: The big recession two thousand and eight slowed everything's down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how long is the school to get your license? How
Speaker 1: long does that take?
Speaker 2: Depends on it individual.
Speaker 1: You know, how long did you get How long did
Speaker 1: it take you to do it?
Speaker 2: I mean it took me maybe like three months.
Speaker 1: Tell me if I'm wrong. Basically, everything just has to
Speaker 1: angle down. It's just about an angle. You just need
Speaker 1: to slow it is. That's all plumbing is, start at
Speaker 1: one height and make it go down.
Speaker 2: Ship has to go down, Shit has to go down.
Speaker 1: How many different types of plumbers are there?
Speaker 2: So you have basically it's different branches, I will say.
Speaker 2: So they have the service plumbers.
Speaker 1: You don't about the Rotor Ruter Fox.
Speaker 2: That's a different brand.
Speaker 1: Do you like rot You like Rotor Ruter or No?
Speaker 1: They get any good? Should we not be calling Rotter River?
Speaker 2: No? Well, here's the thing, Rotor, it's it's it's a
Speaker 2: big company, right, sure, So it depends what area are
Speaker 2: you in. But I know some guys that they do
Speaker 2: some treaky things.
Speaker 1: Okay, can you answer me. Have you you've done plumbing
Speaker 1: in a high rise before?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Sorry, here's what I want to know. There's just toilets
Speaker 1: all the way up into the sky and and and
Speaker 1: there's just one It just goes to one big line.
Speaker 1: And these turns are taking two hand foot dives exactly.
Speaker 1: They are well literally yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: But most of the time you have they call it
Speaker 2: vertical risers, and those are you know, obviously you're talking
Speaker 2: about ten inch twelve inch pipes that all the drain.
Speaker 1: Will still that.
Speaker 2: It will be tough. Yeah, trust me.
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah.
Speaker 2: He goes, you know, horizontal, ground level, horizontal, and then
Speaker 2: he dives into the vertical risers.
Speaker 1: What about the water pressure?
Speaker 2: They have it all usually most of the most of
Speaker 2: the buildings, they have a split system which goes from
Speaker 2: the basement ground level to the I would say maybe
Speaker 2: the third or four floor, which is CD pressure. Then
Speaker 2: from the fifth to whatever floor it goes with a pump.
Speaker 2: So you pump all the water into tanks up in
Speaker 2: the roof, and then you let gravity do its job.
Speaker 1: In hot water too, because this is like some of
Speaker 1: these high rises there's furnaces on every floor. Is that
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 2: No? No, No, you have a big, a big tank
Speaker 2: up in the roof.
Speaker 1: How much does that tank hold?
Speaker 2: Was? Maybe like five thousand and six thousand gallons of water?
Speaker 1: It confuses me so much. Is fixing plumbing problems in
Speaker 1: high rises? Is that harder than like homes or.
Speaker 2: No, it's actually easier. It's just that you have to
Speaker 2: deal with the fact that when you're doing that repair,
Speaker 2: you have to shut down the entire floor, so you
Speaker 2: have to deal with people.
Speaker 1: You know. Okay, my wife, her hair possibly clogs every
Speaker 1: drain in the house at some point. I don't know
Speaker 1: where it's coming from. I don't know why it's in
Speaker 1: the kitchen sink.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. We all complain about women's you know,
Speaker 2: being the ones, but we all lose hair obviously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but our hair is short.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but still I think showers are the worst when
Speaker 2: it comes to that.
Speaker 1: Well, she does this thing where she she sticks all
Speaker 1: of her hair that's loose on the wall, and then
Speaker 1: you know, does the thing where she you know, then
Speaker 1: she can take it all out. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: she fucking never does it's all. Then I go into
Speaker 1: the shower and I see this big dry hair ball
Speaker 1: on the side of the shower and eventually it falls in.
Speaker 1: All right, But but hair is a real problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, here's the thing. It's one of
Speaker 2: one of the easiest problems to fix pretty much.
Speaker 1: What about what about a liquid DRAINO should we ever
Speaker 1: use that stuff?
Speaker 2: Showers? Yes, not on the sinks. Don't use liquid drain
Speaker 2: or toilets or toilets now, because liquid drain is basically
Speaker 2: a chemical to burn the hair. So if you put
Speaker 2: it in your toilet or on your sink, you're just
Speaker 2: gonna get a messy clock.
Speaker 1: Can ninety nine percent of plumbing problems be solved with
Speaker 1: a plunger? No, you got a plunger?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I don't think I do either.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have a plunger. You guys got plungers? Yep, yes, huh,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean they sell like some nice ones that.
Speaker 1: They still they still when you pull them out. Where
Speaker 1: do you clean a plunger.
Speaker 2: On your buyers?
Speaker 1: Right, that's the right answer. You should do it in
Speaker 1: your backyard with a hose. But no, what does everybody do?
Speaker 1: They take it out, It drips everywhere, and they put
Speaker 1: it in their bathtub. That's disgusting. What's your stance on
Speaker 1: wet wipes butt wipes? Flushing them? Can not even though
Speaker 1: they say flushable now, no, you cannot flush them all. Right,
Speaker 1: here's my routine. Okay, I think you'll approve of it.
Speaker 1: It's a little disgusting. But I use wet wipes, okay,
Speaker 1: but I don't flush them. I don't use any toilet paper.
Speaker 1: I've got the toilet I've got in my room, in
Speaker 1: my bedroom, the only toilet in the house, the fancy
Speaker 1: toilet with the bidet and everything. So it cleans me.
Speaker 1: Then I use a wet wipe, but the wet since
Speaker 1: I'm already clean, the wet wipe is just an extra
Speaker 1: layer of clean. This then I throw it in the trash,
Speaker 1: so I'm flushing nothing. You flush the toilet at night
Speaker 1: when you go to the bathroom if you pee. I don't.
Speaker 1: It's too loud. It wakes me up. I don't flush
Speaker 1: at night anyway. So I got a fancy toilet. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is going to be my gift to
Speaker 1: myself and my home, a fancy toilet. But the first
Speaker 1: one that we got, and they're expensive, those toilets, those
Speaker 1: fancy toilets are really expended. Do you spend ten grand
Speaker 1: on a toilet. That's crazy anyway. So the first one
Speaker 1: that we bought was one of those modern ones that
Speaker 1: goes into the wall, not down a wall mount, which
Speaker 1: is nice because you get to clean the floor underneath
Speaker 1: your toilet. It's cleaner. But here was the problem. Mount one,
Speaker 1: and they're so all low flow. Now there's not much water.
Speaker 1: Every time you took a shit no matter what kind.
Speaker 1: It left a huge streak on the bottom because it's
Speaker 1: like a hard ninety hear. And then we read the
Speaker 1: reviews of the toilet after we've already installed it, and
Speaker 1: they're like, yes, it it leaves poop stains. My wife said,
Speaker 1: we can't have this. I go, but it cost seventy
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. She said, we can't have it. I
Speaker 1: can't have poop stains every time I go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: So you keep flushing and flushing and he doesn't go.
Speaker 1: So I paid to have it taken out. Put another
Speaker 1: expensive toilet, but a one that goes straight down in
Speaker 1: lesson learned Lesson learned on that toilet. The average man
Speaker 1: in their lifetime, if they live to be seventy five
Speaker 1: years old, we'll spend six years sitting on toilet. It now,
Speaker 1: I made it up.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: It My point is, have a good seat. Talk about
Speaker 1: some of the disasters that you've walked into.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you if that comes as a disaster.
Speaker 2: I walk into an adult film set by mistake.
Speaker 1: By mistake, they didn't have any plumbing problems.
Speaker 2: No, I was there to to to just do a walk.
Speaker 1: To lay some pipe.
Speaker 2: But I didn't. I didn't know that that that was
Speaker 2: happening at the moment.
Speaker 1: You know, that's funny. Did you did you watch at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's great. Was the story good or no?
Speaker 2: Well I didn't. I didn't stick for that all. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I rarely make it anything.
Speaker 2: I'm walking almost at the climax. At the climax.
Speaker 1: That's good timing Mario or Luigi? Which one? Okay, should
Speaker 1: we be drinking tap water?
Speaker 2: No, not at all?
Speaker 1: You serious? I drink tap water every day, especially for
Speaker 1: my pills, and I put my mouth underneath it.
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say, maybe like sixty five percent
Speaker 2: of the water that you're getting on the fosse is recycled,
Speaker 2: so unless you leave in one of those places that
Speaker 2: is still get it, you know, from fresh.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I do.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you're drinking recycle pool water.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's got to have some benefits.
Speaker 2: Now. Oh yeah, Hey, I.
Speaker 1: The fear people have of a snake, an actual real
Speaker 1: snake coming up a toilet, is that real?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've always worried about it.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you can get older, you know, you
Speaker 2: can get cockroaches.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the toilet coming up. Yeah, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen that.
Speaker 2: They can survive, they can swim.
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, upper decker?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: An upper decker is that's when you poop into the
Speaker 1: top of the tank of someone's toilet at their house.
Speaker 1: You do it during a party. It's fun, and then
Speaker 1: when they flush, brown water comes out. Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen an upper decker?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, is there a busy season for plumbers?
Speaker 2: Oh? Not really?
Speaker 1: I mean I was thinking like after the super Bowl?
Speaker 2: Well you know what? Actually, actually no, actually Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving that's a big meal.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always get the calls.
Speaker 1: You get the calls because everybody's family's there. People are
Speaker 1: using their toilets way more than they normally.
Speaker 2: Normal, and and shit happens.
Speaker 1: How long do you wash your hands at the end
Speaker 1: of the day? Hello, yeah, how long do you wash them?
Speaker 2: Like? A minute? All right, listen a minute?
Speaker 1: All right? You're not worried or like, oh man, I.
Speaker 2: Always wear latest gloves. You wear gloves, yeah all the time.
Speaker 1: You ever ever been hit on by one of your customers?
Speaker 1: Somebody comes to your house and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: uh oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh huh uh it was an old lady.
Speaker 1: How old?
Speaker 2: Well at that time I was in my meet twenties,
Speaker 2: so was probably, like I was saying, like forties, early forties.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So did you make it happen?
Speaker 2: She wasn't that attractive? Okay? You know all right?
Speaker 1: What makes a good or bad customer?
Speaker 2: How long did it take to pay?
Speaker 1: Talk some shit about John? You did you do the
Speaker 1: plumbing for this place?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Does he did he? What did he treat you fair?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did he pay you on time?
Speaker 2: No? That is.
Speaker 1: This thing up to code?
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a good question.
Speaker 1: Now if somebody wants you to do something that's not
Speaker 1: up to code, like like you know you can't even
Speaker 1: get shower heads in this state. That yeah, that will
Speaker 1: actually the water come out.
Speaker 2: More than whatever the stay requires, right right. It's like
Speaker 2: when you order something from online and you see these
Speaker 2: nice face that you like, m hmm, but when you
Speaker 2: when you put on your car and it says, uh no,
Speaker 2: it cannot be shipped to this location because California. Right.
Speaker 2: So what I you know, have my customers do is
Speaker 2: like when they want something like that, it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: just order out of state or you know some you
Speaker 2: know out of California, and then so help bring it over.
Speaker 1: Even if I drill drill it out some of the
Speaker 1: pipes and take out the water savory, it's still there's
Speaker 1: just not enough water pressure coming to the house for
Speaker 1: it to ever change. And I feel, here's my argument.
Speaker 1: I'm all for saving water, and I do my part.
Speaker 1: Here's how I do my part. I shower with my
Speaker 1: wife and my two kids all at the same time.
Speaker 1: So that's four people getting clean. I should be allowed
Speaker 1: to have water hitting as harder. Right, that's my logic.
Speaker 1: But you're saying the only workaround is like you got
Speaker 1: to go out of state and you got to buy
Speaker 1: your fixtures, but that still doesn't affect.
Speaker 2: Well, that's if if if you have like a low
Speaker 2: consumption whatever you know, faucet mm hm, and you want
Speaker 2: to get more water. Yeah, but but you know, in
Speaker 2: your case, it sounds like the plumbing, the plumbing in
Speaker 2: the wall, it's probably undersize or it's old galvan ice
Speaker 2: and it's all rusted out, you know.
Speaker 1: So no, no, it's not rusted out. This is all new.
Speaker 1: This is new. But but a lot of the plumbing,
Speaker 1: the size and because it's for them to sign off
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then there's then there's like a is there like
Speaker 1: a bar inside the pipe?
Speaker 2: A restricter?
Speaker 1: Huh, the whole way through all the pipes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty much what a favorite thing from California
Speaker 2: a witch.
Speaker 1: They don't have that in Texas.
Speaker 2: They don't know, they don't care, just.
Speaker 1: Taking taking nice showers in Texas. Do you have any
Speaker 1: celebrity clients you ever deal with people? You're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I know who this person is?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Now are there are there ships different than ours? Are they?
Speaker 1: Is it all the same? M hm? What what race
Speaker 1: of people has the worst smelling ships? Go ahead, I
Speaker 1: don't know. No, you ever meet Andy Gump? You know
Speaker 1: who he is? Do you know?
Speaker 2: And I know that company right, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is there a person is Andy Gump? A person could
Speaker 1: be What are your thoughts on those? On those work site?
Speaker 1: Porta potty is just the worst place.
Speaker 2: In the world, or yeah, they're they're disgusting.
Speaker 1: Well, here let me tell you something. As I have
Speaker 1: a sensitive stomach, so I was recently working. I was
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. I was pushing It was late at
Speaker 1: night and I was pushing my daughter in a stroller
Speaker 1: trying to get back to my hotel. My stomach was
Speaker 1: upset and I wasn't gonna make it. So here's what
Speaker 1: I did. I pushed my daughter right up next to
Speaker 1: the chain link fence at a construction site, jumped the
Speaker 1: fence and went and used the porta potty and just
Speaker 1: hoped that no one took my daughter because it went
Speaker 1: fine okay, But but I had to as someone with
Speaker 1: a bad stomach, I know I always might, Oh there's
Speaker 1: a construction site.
Speaker 2: Well here's here's the thing. Though, now nine days what
Speaker 2: they're doing is they're putting locks on those things. I know,
Speaker 2: I know when everybody leaves, they lock those things and.
Speaker 1: Get You know what I do if it's locked in
Speaker 1: that scenario, I shove it over, tip it over, and
Speaker 1: ship on top of it, just to let them know
Speaker 1: that they are awful. Now, when people are on my show,
Speaker 1: I always give them a gift from my house. I
Speaker 1: just give something from my house. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: what can I give Jimmy the plumber? And then I
Speaker 1: thought about it. I was like, oh, this is perfect.
Speaker 1: You worried or no, it's never It's pretty. I figured
Speaker 1: I go he's from Texas, I go, and plumber's crack.
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to I don't want him to
Speaker 1: have it. So I got some of my old belts
Speaker 1: that that I had that have the text right, Nice,

Speaker 1: Couple old leather belts with a big old Texas longhorned
Speaker 1: belt buckle.

Speaker 1: I know that those things were gifts to me from somebody.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I don't. I don't ever dress
Speaker 1: like this. All right, put that on the floor that
Speaker 1: that's what's your waist.
Speaker 2: Size thirty six? That'd be fine.
Speaker 1: Plumbers crack? Where did that stereotype come from?
Speaker 2: No idea?
Speaker 1: Are you self conscious and always make sure that your
Speaker 1: pants are up?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah? Always? Okay, have you seen some some plumbers
Speaker 2: crack here and there?
Speaker 1: Sure you have the term white mice? You know what
Speaker 1: that is? Right? You don't know the term white mice
Speaker 1: is in the plumbers world. And then a woman's tampon
Speaker 1: that clogs up the toilet. Oh you've heard it.
Speaker 2: Well, I never heard of the white mice.
Speaker 1: Okay, have you have you found those?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: What's the worst thing you've seen people flush in the.
Speaker 2: Toilets uh, sex toys?
Speaker 1: Was it on purpose or did it fall out?
Speaker 2: Maybe a mistake and just you know, went down. I
Speaker 2: want to pick it up.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta flush of sex toy? How far
Speaker 1: can you actually snake a drain or a toilet? How
Speaker 1: far can you actually go?
Speaker 2: You know it depends without removing the toilet? Six feet?
Speaker 1: That's it? What about talk about roots? Tree roots? And
Speaker 1: is that just a nightmare? What do I gotta do?
Speaker 2: If you sewer outside? Is clay pipe?
Speaker 1: Yes it is.
Speaker 2: It's an I got you have to get rid of
Speaker 2: the clay.
Speaker 1: I'm not I just keep paying to have the roots
Speaker 1: cleaned out because it's.
Speaker 2: The jedal right, yeah yeah, Unfortunately, you can't do nothing
Speaker 2: about it unless you replace it.
Speaker 1: All right, I got to replace it. What's the biggest
Speaker 1: funk up you've ever done?
Speaker 2: That was back when I was working for a company
Speaker 2: at the union. You had to do uh they call
Speaker 2: it a brace shuddering, which you used, you know, like
Speaker 2: a torch, you know, the torch they use for t
Speaker 2: welt stuff and melt things. The guy who was my
Speaker 2: you know, my foreman, He's like, oh you know what,
Speaker 2: you know, you want to learn how to do this?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. And he's like, okay, so this is
Speaker 2: how you mix you know that the oxygen and nitrogen
Speaker 2: to get you know, the perfect flame so you can
Speaker 2: brace the copper. So he's you know, he started showing me,
Speaker 2: you know, you mix it this way, and okay, fine,
Speaker 2: we shut up this day. I think he was off today.
Speaker 2: They send somebody else with me, you know, because usually
Speaker 2: usually when you're working on those companies, you work you know,
Speaker 2: with a partner. So they send this other guy and
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, you know, what are we doing today.
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, we're going to keep raising you know
Speaker 2: this these copper pipes, right, and he's like, you know
Speaker 2: how to do that? I'm like, oh, yeah, I know,
Speaker 2: you know. So I grab this tea we're talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, at that time, this is back in two
Speaker 2: thousand and five and six. At that time, that tea
Speaker 2: was worth almost three grands the copper tea, coppery, yeah,
Speaker 2: ten inch, ten inch copper tea. So I grabbed the thing,
Speaker 2: you know, put it all together, put it on the table,
Speaker 2: started working on it. This guy is watching me thinking
Speaker 2: that I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: You've heard about it.
Speaker 2: At least I put a hole into the tea. So
Speaker 2: is that done? Done? It's done done. You can't do nothing.
Speaker 2: So that goes to the trash well recycled, recycle.
Speaker 1: It goes back your car.
Speaker 2: So so I'm like and he looks at me. He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I tell you you knew what you were doing. Like,
Speaker 2: uh oops, So what do we do now, Well, let's
Speaker 2: just pretend that never happened, cut it, put it in
Speaker 2: the back of my truck, and then we told the supervisor, oh,
Speaker 2: we need this tea and he's like, whoa, I order it.
Speaker 2: You know it's it's in the in the box in
Speaker 2: the job box. Oh we can find it. Oh no,
Speaker 2: So it was a it was a you know, expensive
Speaker 2: fuck up.
Speaker 1: Well, right, but it didn't cost you any.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and then I actually took it back to
Speaker 2: a recycled place and I get some money out of it.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, that's not the right thing to do. Would you
Speaker 1: consider yourself a reputable do you like, make sure you
Speaker 1: know you talked about the road up people Sometimes they
Speaker 1: take advantage of people. Do you ever take advantage of
Speaker 1: customers or try to upsell them? Or do you just
Speaker 1: be like here, this is this is what you need,
Speaker 1: this is what you get.
Speaker 2: You know. I think the reason that I kept myself
Speaker 2: busy until this time, you know, and I'm always busy.
Speaker 2: I never advertised, never done any advertising. No, everything is
Speaker 2: being warm mouthed.
Speaker 1: And you didn't mention that story about you know, costing
Speaker 1: that one client ten thousand dollars with that tea.
Speaker 2: No, No, that was that company that used to work for.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I mean this, you were a young buck and you're allowed.
Speaker 1: You're allowed one of those per career.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing I've been trying to always even
Speaker 2: even some of my guys, you know, like I had
Speaker 2: this guy working for me one time and he's like, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: what do you do? This is so perfect? Not perfect,
Speaker 2: but you know what do you make it look so nice?
Speaker 2: I mean, the client is not gonna it's not gonna
Speaker 2: see it. It's gonna be inside the insulation in the walls.
Speaker 2: I'm like, don't worry, just do it because I like to,
Speaker 2: you know, keep it symmetrical, keep it nice looking. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't want to all messy.
Speaker 1: You need an honest person.
Speaker 2: That's how I being keeping my business.
Speaker 1: You know, do you hate the fact that you know
Speaker 1: how to fix stuff all the time? Like do your
Speaker 1: neighbors come over and go hey, man?
Speaker 2: Uh, here's the funny thing, like when you know, once
Speaker 2: I go home, I don't want to do anything. Even
Speaker 2: if there's a leaky fact in the house, I don't
Speaker 2: touch it if my neighbor, if my neighbor comes out.
Speaker 2: I actually had this old lady. She she's she's really nice.
Speaker 2: She's she lives by herself. She came out the other day.
Speaker 2: I was I was pulling the trash cans ole and
Speaker 2: she came out and she said, oh, Jamie, how are you.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to ask you for a favor.
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, what happened?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Because I ordered this stove from home depot and uh
Speaker 2: they I told, you know, the deliric guy. Oh you know,
Speaker 2: I was gonna pay him, you know, to install it
Speaker 2: for me to connect the gas line. But he didn't
Speaker 2: because he said I didn't have the right connection.
Speaker 1: You know, that's a real favor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in my head, right, I'm like, oh, but you know,
Speaker 2: it's just an older lady by herself. Okay. So I
Speaker 2: went I went up and whatever connection she had. It
Speaker 2: was that it was the right one. It just happened
Speaker 2: to whoever showed up. They didn't care. You just wanted to,
Speaker 2: you know, drop off the box and leave. That's as
Speaker 2: much as I do, you know, with my neighbors and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But you know, I don't want to
Speaker 2: know anything about plumbing.
Speaker 1: What's it. I'll do some advertising for you. I'll give
Speaker 1: you free advertiser on this show. What what's the name
Speaker 1: of your company?
Speaker 2: You see Flow Plumbing Services, Easy.
Speaker 1: Flow Plumbing Services. I just rolls off the tongue. Did
Speaker 1: you have sex with your neighbor when you went over
Speaker 1: there to install the stove? Now, okay, that's what I
Speaker 1: think of plumbing. I think the plumbers are just having
Speaker 1: sex with everybody. I had a pipe. It was running
Speaker 1: across my bedroom and it was it had permanent hot
Speaker 1: water going through it, like real hot water. That and
Speaker 1: it had one of the welds or whatever, one of
Speaker 1: the seals. It had a leak, but a pinhole. But
Speaker 1: it was so the water was so hot that when
Speaker 1: it dripped it it didn't drip, it evaporated. It evaporated.
Speaker 1: So for like three years it was evaporate. But when
Speaker 1: it hit the dry wall below it. It turned back
Speaker 1: to water so like you couldn't see where the drip
Speaker 1: was coming from until about three years later where I
Speaker 1: put my hand on the wall and my hands went
Speaker 1: right through the wall.
Speaker 2: He didn't call me, No, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I used I used my guy, Barry, you know Berry. No,
Speaker 1: it's not as small, not as small of the circle
Speaker 1: as I thought it was.
Speaker 2: No, there's tons of towns plumbers on there.
Speaker 1: No, I know Barry. Barry's the guy that just leans
Speaker 1: on my toilet and goes. You got a heated toilet.
Speaker 1: See you got graphics on the side of your truck. No, No,
Speaker 1: you don't want anybody to call you ever.
Speaker 2: I used to. I used to, But what happened is
Speaker 2: that with Dad, what you're doing is you creating tief
Speaker 2: to pretty much follow you and then steal your crap.
Speaker 2: Because I have my vent stolen a couple of times.
Speaker 2: So now I don't do it. Like I said, I
Speaker 2: don't do any advertising.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to advertise for you or no?
Speaker 2: Not really? Yeah, that's funny, all right.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking time out, Jimmy. Thank you for
Speaker 1: your hard work, and thank you for having me I'll
Speaker 1: see you around. That's a soft hand, strong.
Speaker 2: Pasha.
Speaker 1: That does it, Carl. Another one's in the books. I
Speaker 1: want to thank Jimmy the Plumber for being on the
Speaker 1: show and doing all the plumbing in our studio here.
Speaker 1: Haven't had a single problem. There's a good guy. I'd
Speaker 1: give him a plug, but he says he doesn't want him. Fine,
Speaker 1: speaking of plugs, I uh, you see this, guys. This
Speaker 1: is a boys Wear pinktote from Boyswearpink dot com. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me tell you some of this tote. This tote
Speaker 1: goes for twelve dollars. But if you order something on
Speaker 1: the website, it'll ask you when you're checking out, do
Speaker 1: you want to add a tote? Listen, Carl, for only
Speaker 1: an extra five dollars? Right, Okay. Well, the other day,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna call her out, we get an order
Speaker 1: from Lori in Connecticut and she just got a tote
Speaker 1: for five dollars. I'm like, how'd she beat the system?
Speaker 1: It looks like what she did she put in her
Speaker 1: cart something and then she deleted the main thing and
Speaker 1: it just kept the five dollars tote in there and
Speaker 1: it didn't go back to the twelve dollars price, But
Speaker 1: now she had to pay for shipping. But still Laurie
Speaker 1: got a tote without purchasing anything else for five dollars.
Speaker 1: You believe that she beat the system. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: fix it either. Now I'm encouraging people, Carl, you don't
Speaker 1: find this fascinating that somebody figured out a way to
Speaker 1: get toats for just five dollars when they were originally
Speaker 1: twelve dollars. That's a pretty cool workaround, all right, you
Speaker 1: win that round, Laurie. What else is going on? The
Speaker 1: goat on Amazon? Check that out? My tour, check out
Speaker 1: our dates, buy tickets go on now before we go,
Speaker 1: a bedtime story from my once three year old son.
Speaker 5: See you next week, room ballad mounting shan't outside you
Speaker 5: now they little popped into a gig trip.
Speaker 1: You already told the story of popsicles. I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it anymore. Tell me a new story.
Speaker 5: Once upon a time a wabbits went to the end.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is insane.
