Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wild Thoughts, we are back, Yeah, we are.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
We don't want to say this is possibly the last
one of the.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Year of twenty twenty four, the last Wild Thoughts of
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, we don't want to say that because we might
be here next Yeah we might.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
But like we're not saying that. But also by us
saying that, we are saying that, right.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
But we're not actually saying it.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
By us not saying that though we might be saying that.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
People loved your shit story?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Did they really? Though?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I actually didn't hear any feedback, but I loved it.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I got a decent amount of feedback on social media
and people, yeah, they were love. They were cracking up
about this story. If you didn't listen to the Last
Wild Thoughts podcast, I don't know what the fuck you're
doing here. Go back, go back. Not my star far
I started with I shared one of my deepest, darkest
secrets of all time. And look, sharing that story about
the world's biggest shit that was ever taking it was

(00:48):
a little cathartic for me. It felt good to get
that off my chest. I've been hiding that story for
a long time and just living in the shadows and
shame of a giant shit. But then it also got
me to thinking about another giant term that I took.
Oh my god, I don't want this to turn into
what the old Wild Thoughts podcast turned into, which was
a shit cast. That's what that old part we joked

(01:09):
about that, that's what it turned into. Yeah, okay, but
there is one more story that I'd like to get off.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
To end the year.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You guys feel free to bring any other content after
this story, but I just want to share this story
story time here it is. People enjoy the story times
even though it's gross and disgusting, so you've been warned.
It is another gross and disgusting story coming away. Okay,
I'm not a public pooper. Let me start the story
by that.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And that was sort of the premise of the last story.
Even I left a nightclub, bar or whatever we were.
Actually I'm like, I'm not going to happen but every
and I don't go to the bathroom number two at work,
No thanks, I'll wait till home. Want to be on
the home throne. So this was many years ago in
San Francisco as a bartender in San Francisco, and I

(01:58):
worked like Wednesday night, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night. That was
my work week. Do the best schedule ever, by the way,
because most of those spots I went to work at
nine o'clock at night and got off at two. Well,
I mean you were there cleaning and counting all the
stacks three but just like it was really fun, great
work week. But Sundays that was the bartenders like day

(02:18):
to go out, right, that was our Friday night, our Saturday.
You've been working all work week. I'm using air quotes
there on the work week, okay, and then you hit
Sunday and like it's time to rage. And we would
always start Sunday morning early with like our group of
like industry friends. We'd go do like a big brunch.
I mean, we invented this like bottomless mimosa brunch phenomenon

(02:41):
that started. We were the original.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
You invented bottomless mimosa.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I didn't invent that, But I invented Sundays like drinking day.
Drinking you, Yes, I invented. So you're welcome.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Sorry, I'm not giving you credit for that.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I'm just saying, well, we started it. There was nobody
else in like this was San Francisco on the Marina.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Just in the history of people have ever a day
drink on a Sunday before you and your friends.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm not saying that, but people didn't go hard on
Sundays during the brunch scene like the YouTube. Maybe Saturdays whatever,
but Sundays like used to be the mellow brunch scene,
like I have to work tomorrow, I'm not doing and
we used to just come in there and just wreck
shop and just fucking rage, like rack up the biggest
bar tabs you'd ever seen daytimes on on bars on Sundays. Okay, No,

(03:25):
I did not invent the thing, but I'm just saying
we may have popularized. Did you have a name for
it back then, Well, Sunday Fun Day, of course. Well yeah, yeah,
we invented Sunday Fun Day. Okay. So there was this
bar on Union Street. I think it's still there. It's
called Bar None. And Bar None was like you kind
of went downstairs off the Union Street. It was like

(03:47):
lower level, so it's almost like you're in the basement
of a place, but like halfway you can still see
a little sunset. It was kind of a dark, dungeony place,
not a popular daytime bar for that reason, like people
want to see sun and be out side or drinking
on a patio. This was a little bit dungeon like,
but a very like college bar. At night it's like
super cold, like you want to play beer pong with

(04:08):
your buddies, boom, you go to bar nun. So we
went there during the daytime one time. I think we
knew one of the bartenders there, and so like great
spot to day drink, just me and all my idiot
friends and us just like taking shots and just like raging,
get to the shit. So stomach is like telling me

(04:29):
it's time you got to go. And I'm the kind
of person that has trouble like walking away from fun,
Like I'm not about to like go catch a cab.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Don't tell me you put on a diaper back to
my apartment.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, I didn't put it on. I'm not that's swifty
to watch the entire eras tour. So I'm like, it's
this emergency. I'm not going to take a cab home
to take a number two just to turn around and
cab back. Like we're having fun. And plus there's like
nobody in here. We were like some of the first
people in there. In the morning. So like the bath
there's one thing about bar bathrooms. If you ever have

(05:02):
to use one, you want to be the first one in, right,
you want to be the first one to Actually these
have been cleaned. We're the only people probably in the
bar at this point. So I go use the bathroom,
and like the last story, it's a record breaker, Like
this thing, You're just like, how did this thing come

(05:22):
out of me? Right? And that it was my big
turn era? Like I had any wrong?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
And what were you eating?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
A lot of burritos? And just like unhealthy single dude lifestyle.
I don't know what. I don't know what it was,
but like you look down and you're just like, oh
my god, this is like it's one of those ones
that you want to take a picture of and send
to your buddies.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Right, what is wrong with you? So you ever sent
a picture of one?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, of course, Oh god, this is as guys do
this stuff. We're crossing. And so I go to flush it.
Toilet's broken and it doesn't flush, not even like I'm
jiggling the handle, nothing happens. Now, I'm a very like
resourceful guy. I've installed like dozens of toilets. I put
all the toilets in my new house. Like I know

(06:04):
how toilet plumbing works. I can swap a toilet in
and out thirty minutes. Whatever. I'm good at toilet plumbing.
Take the tank.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Lid off and they're shit in there.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
No, it's some weird kind of bar toilet mechanism where
the water doesn't fill up the tank. It must have
been some kind of pressurized device. I had never seen
this thing before, and there is no fixing it because
like your household toilet, it's not flushing, the handle's not
doing it. Give me ten minutes, I can fix the
inside of the tank and we'll get it to fill
up and flush. This thing I can't get any there's

(06:34):
no water float, there's nothing. You push the handle down,
absolutely nothing happens. It doesn't even try to flush. So
I'm like, oh shit, quite literally, like okay, so I'm
just gonna have to like leave it. So I leave,
I leave it there. I come back out to the bar,
like people can see, like you know, like I'm kind
of laughing, But.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Whatever, did you wash your hands?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Would? Yeah? Of course?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And I think maybe I told you know a couple
of people that we were like what had happened, you know,
because I'm like, whoa, don't go you know, don't use
that stall or whatever, you have to go to the bathroom.
And so we're sitting there and the party is going on.
I kind of forget about it. And as more and
more people, as the niggles on, people are starting to
show up now to the bar well, as people are
going people are going in to use the bathroom and

(07:19):
then coming out and like announcing to the whole bar
like you will not believe this. There is the biggest
shit I have ever seen in my life there, and
somebody just left it in the toilet. They just left it.
And I'm like, oh my, trying to like stifle and
you know, like hold the laughter in because they yes,
and they keep people keep coming out one after another

(07:41):
like oh my god, do you see the thing in there?
And somebody just left it. They didn't even flush it,
they just left the thing in there, Like what kind
of fucking siko would do that? They get person after
person keeps coming out and saying this, and I'm like,
you know, just really just like yeah, what kind of
Oh yeah, I'm just like piling on like oh no, yeah,
that's just disgusting. You don't do that. What an animal?

(08:02):
You flush? Like? Seriously, you sick? And it was me
I was the poop band told your friends. Yeah, I
can't remember if I told people or not. Agating this
as many years.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Ago, and there's like I had not been there with
the girl. It was all guys.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
No, there were girls there.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Did they know?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I doubt you said, I don't know that I told them.
Then I may have told them after the fact what
had happened that it was you. Like who doesn't if
you're cleaning a bar bathroom, Like who doesn't check to
make sure the toilet is operational? Like shame on them?
Like they should have a functioning toilet. Same thing if
you go to somebody's house, like, there should be means
of unclogging a toilet present in that bathroom. All bathrooms,

(08:39):
and I probably am guilty of not having this, all
bathrooms should have a plunger in there somewhere, Because if
you're ever a guest at somebody's house and you clog
their toilet, there's no more embarrassing on the planet. You
need to provide me with the tools to unclog this
mess without me having to come out and ask for it.
Oh my god, I told you what happened to my brother?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
What happened to your brother?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
The first time he ever met my wife's parents. I
think I've told this story on the show before, but
the first time he ever not my wife's parents, sorry,
his future in laws, his wife's parents. They weren't married yet,
they just he had just they were the first time
he gets over to their house for dinner and he
has to use the bathroom. And it's like they have
this I've been to their house before, like real big,

(09:23):
nice kitchen, and then you go like part way into
this hallway, like the bathroom's right there, like the like
a powder room, like a toilet sink, it's right next
to the kitchen. And he goes in there. So again
this is he's already nervous. This is the first meet
the parents, and he goes in there clogs it. It
can't flush, Yeah he should. Why would you do that?

(09:43):
I agree, that's your first mistake. I would hold I'd
fight that. Maybe a nervous stomach whatever, And so the
clogs there's no plunger there and he's in there like
you know, like you have to wait a long time
for the tank to fill in some toilets, and it's
like and you don't want to flush two consecutive times,
you know, too many together, because then what might overflow?
And then you got a real problem. So he's in

(10:04):
there for like a long time. Finally has to come
out and they're like what's going, Like are you okay?
Because he'd been in there a long time and he's
like bright red, you know, he's like, I clogged the toilet.
And so luckily his future father in law was super
like cool about like, oh okay, I got a plunger
in the garage, Like don't worry about it. So you go.
So my brother goes, it gets the plunger, it goes
starts using it, and you know, if you don't use

(10:24):
a plunger for a long time, it like dries and
cracks and they they don't work if that thing can't
make a seal on it, Like so the thing instantly
cracks and splits. Once a plunger that rubber parts splits.
It doesn't no water pressure, you can't make any So
he's in there wrestling with it. He's still gonna try,
you know, because like they've given you a plunger and
now he's in there fighting this thing, like you know,

(10:45):
like really trying to plunge and it's not working. And
he said, my brother said that he was trying so
hard for so long with that plunger that he got
blisters on his hands, Like that's how hard, and like
embarrassed he was, like he's in there work. He finally
has to come out of the bathroom again. Now this
time he's like sweating because he's been in there, like

(11:06):
working the plunger so hard, and the toilet is still clogged.
And this is now into a whole or deal. So
then he has to get in the car with future
father in law and they drive down to home depot
to buy a new plunger to then come back to
the house and he finally unclogs the toilet. It's like
turns into like a two hour ordeal. This is why

(11:26):
you should have you should Can you imagine if that
was the first time you ever met your future in laws?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I would break updating, I agree, Like that's it.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I wouldn't. I would sprint out of the house, climb
out a window, whatever it took, and you'll never se
You'll never see me again. But that's and it all
worked out and they're still married. And you know, he
legit got blisters from trying to plunge for so long
and the thing would move. This is why good reminder
everyone you should have a good functioning plunger in your

(11:59):
bathroom at all times for guests.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Question unrelated.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, now that this has turned into the shit cast,
Yeah it is sorry. You told me a story years
ago that could never be repeated, that could never be
brought up on air.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, it has to do as shit. Can you talk
about it now?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
No, someday we'll get to that story. What about the
returning Wild Thoughts podcast? If we hypothetically were too right,
if we were going to take you know, some holiday
vacation time, then we come back in twenty twenty five
with the new thing. I don't think people want to
hear more do number two stories?

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, we'll leave it up to the people.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well we'll think. I'll think about it. Because that series
of stories that's gonna like that would end up being
like a sixth part. I think I need to make
a doctor part series. I think it would need to
be like a documentary.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
First Wild Thoughts series, I think it would.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Need to be a documentary and people would be like,
oh my god, another episode about turns, Like I can't
take anymore. So that's the problem. I think we just
leave it with these two, which I think are pretty legendary.
Almost three there, if you include my brother's story, three
pretty legendary turn stories, and we just leave it at that,
like that's good for now and now and then in

(13:08):
the future maybe some other price stay tuned. Well, anyways,
that's you know, so Mary, Chris, Merry Christmas and Happy
Year everyone,
