Transcript
00:00You gotta breathe easy to allow it to release while you're in the gas station bathroom or
00:06else you're gonna freak the f**k out, okay?
00:15Not only is it awkward to talk about bowel movements, it's even more awkward to poop
00:21in public.
00:22So, to alleviate some of that stress, I decided to talk to my fellow R2-9ers about poop.
00:27Hey guys, I'm Katie and I poop in public.
00:30I poop in public.
00:31I do poop in public.
00:33I hate pooping in public.
00:34I refuse to poop in public.
00:36Only if the feeling's right, you know?
00:39I think pooping in public has a stigmata of just being like, oh gross, but like we all
00:45do it.
00:45Everybody poops in public at some point because at some point you can't hold it.
00:49Like why should I hold it in?
00:51The sphincter can only hold it in for so long, like you gotta just take a s**t and do it.
00:54I think it becomes kind of weird when there are other people in the stalls next to me
00:59or in the bathroom.
01:00I don't mind pooping in a public restroom if it's like a closed off restroom and there's
01:05multiple options so no one's ever gonna come and knock on my door.
01:08Cause that terrifies the s**t out of me, literally.
01:10Every establishment should have one single serve bathroom.
01:14If I'm gonna do something that's smelly and gross, I don't want anybody to know.
01:17If we can all just be open enough about it to have one designated poop bathroom, I think
01:22everything will be just a little bit easier.
01:24Even though pooping is a universal act and everyone does it, I was surprised to hear how
01:28many rituals people invented to get comfortable to take a s**t.
01:31Before I poop in public, I like to stake out the bathroom and make sure no one's inside.
01:35I'll usually have a specific bathroom that I'll use.
01:37I go into the stall and then I see another one of my male co-workers coming in after me.
01:43I'll wait until that co-worker leaves so they don't know that it's me making the sounds
01:47and smells in that bathroom.
01:49I always have to have my phone on me and if I don't have my phone, I freak out and
01:53I
01:53read like the wrapper of the toilet paper.
01:55If I've ever liked your Instagram photo, it's cause I was pooping.
01:58I don't ever look at Instagram if I'm not pooping.
02:02Once you think that the poop is like out your butt, getting ready to hit the water, you also
02:07have to flush.
02:08That way by the time the toilet is whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, your poop is going in
02:12the drain and not just sitting in the toilet.
02:14It's called a courtesy flush.
02:16If I have the urge that I have to poop, it's probably a very urgent situation.
02:20Put down a little toilet seat and then you go and that's it.
02:22That's all you got.
02:23All she wrote.
02:24So pooping in public is one thing, but what happens when people poop in their own home?
02:28I was surprised to see the variety of timelines when it came to pooping in front of people's
02:31significant others.
02:32No.
02:33Nope.
02:33No.
02:34No.
02:35Go.
02:36In the land of homosexual, the butt is a whole nother level, so like no pooping in front
02:41of one another.
02:42That's the only thing that I'm really afraid of.
02:45Like what if my significant other is like, yes, Empress got it going on.
02:48I love her.
02:49She smells good.
02:50And then I poop and he's like, yo, get her out of my house.
02:54Will not poop in front of him.
02:55He will not poop in front of me.
02:57The closest we get is like casually knocking on the door and being like, hey, are you doing
03:01alright in there?
03:03I hope I die without her ever seeing my poop face.
03:06That's the goal.
03:07Till death do us part.
03:08We've been through a lot together.
03:10Uh, she's seen me shitting my brains out in South America.
03:13I've seen her poop on the side of the road.
03:16Actually also in South America.
03:17If we can make it through this together, we can make it through anything.
03:20I think guys have this weird misconception that girls don't poop.
03:25Every human being poops.
03:27Every creature poops.
03:29Like ants poop.
03:31Beyonce .
03:31Like let's be honest.
03:32She does.
03:33Guys are very open about their bodily functions.
03:35As like a girl, that's like a thing that you don't talk about.
03:38I grew up in a house of boys.
03:40We had five older brothers.
03:41It was like a miracle of wonders that I pooped at all.
03:45Some men have tried to make me feel badly about pooping, but I'm like, your mom poops.
03:50Your sister poops.
03:51Your auntie poops.
03:52The girl you like, she poops too.
03:54So there's nothing wrong with me pooping.
03:56I'm not ashamed of it.
03:57If you gotta go, you gotta go.
03:58Do not feel ashamed about pooping in public.
04:01Anybody you know is going to poop in public.
04:03Everyone poops in public.
04:05Just make sure that you have the right squat going on.
04:08Breathe easily and it will support you in allowing yourself to release.
04:13I think we should all stop shaming each other and let everyone poop in peace.
04:19Why would you just want all that waste sitting in your body?
04:22It's supposed to be released through the anus.
04:25So release it.
04:25When it's time to go, go.
04:27Do you feel better about pooping in public now that you've heard everyone talk about
04:30it?
04:30We hope so.
04:31Everyone poops, so feel comfortable doing it.
04:34You can't even see it.
04:35Not only do you want to take a snack.
04:37No.
04:39Next time.
04:39Bye.
04:39Bye.
04:41Bye.
04:41You
