i'm with Dave here, I think it's plausible. joy, you gotta dream a little bigger sometimes. also i've been planning a trip to Austin for about 9 months now, but it looks like all of Texas might have cloud cover/rain at this point and logistically it's not possible for me to change my plans so I hope you guys make it work if you go. The US Northeast is probably the best place to be right now.

What a hilarious gift to wake up to! The reading of the reddit post in particular I agree is a hall of fame surety. Can you link to the TikTok you played? I think it will help with the verdict on truthiness. fwiw, in the interest of science, I did some research this morning and the result I land on: plausible. 🍑🪵🫴🏼🧐

Very familiar of these internet legends shared here. The reason I believe turd catcher is real is because of not only stories like poop knife, but also the phenomenon of standing vs sitting wipers. The population is split and each half don’t know about the other. People certainly live their own lives. Also re Godzilla 1999, I would have gone the route of reminding Joy about the Heroes music video from The Wallflowers and Deeper Underground from Jamiroquai. Each their own full Godzilla films.

Gary! A standing wiper is one thing but how to catch while standing…..????? The geometry ain’t geometry-ing!

Michael Zhang

totally agree that 99% and 100% of eclipse is totally different. Any partial eclipse feels like a slight turn-down of the brightness. Almost like you're wearing sunglasses or there's an ND filter on life. But the sun is still in the sky casting shadows and things look more or less normal. When you are 100% in the path.... it briefly becomes night time. The entire world goes dark and you can see the stars in the sky. And then you can actually look at it without the glasses and see the corona around the sun. Highly recommend going full 100%

I think a better title for this episode would have been "Indecent Proposal Part Poo"

Gary Yarbrough

I’m not saying the standing explains the catching, I’m saying it explains the unawareness of others and assumption that you are the norm.

Glad you’re enjoying the Bolt! Do you not want a Pump Pal (formerly known as a glove) for your public electric chargers? I have gloves and hand sanitizer in my trunk for this reason haha. I did a couple 500+ mi road trips with my Model 3 and it was relatively pain free. I’m hopeful my next car won’t be a Tesla as the vast majority of car manufacturers have agreed to NACS. Although their software remains unbeatable, supporting Elon is the worst part of owning a Tesla. Unfortunately "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism” and Toyota/Lexus supports anti-climate change and pro life politicians with millions of dollars in lobbying efforts while Hyundai/Kia exploit child slave labor 🤷🏻‍♂️

Re: turd controversy, I believe it’s possible and he’s telling the truth but probably embellishing his surprise at others’ lack of poo-catching practices. A while back it came out that a Bachelor contestant routinely pooped on top of toilet paper placed on the floor adjacent to the toilet. Since then I’ve also seen talk on Reddit of someone noticing this practice in an office bathroom. This is clearly more feasible but absolutely blew my mind that people have such pooping practices. It’s also well known that a different Bachelor contestant uses a “poop rag” in lieu of (or in addition to, not sure) toilet paper. I do share Joy’s concern about feasibility, but as a short person I recognize that maybe people with long arms have more options in life.

For the eclipse a fun thing to check out while it begins is to make a lattice with your hands and check out the shadow it make with the light that streams through. Also if there are any trees close to where you will end up to watch you will see a similar change with the shadows and light coming through. As with the poop stuff it is possible but my hygiene meter is just going off the charts.

"Godzilla factorial Kong" Woke my sleeping child with my laugh. Thanks, Dave.

Go see the eclipse. Anything other than 100% is not worth it. Saw a total eclipse in Mexico in the early 90s and it was an amazing experience.

Mads Olsen

Great episode! Wondering about the range anxiety - doesn’t EVs capable of very fast charging resolve a big part of the issue? Like the Hyundai Ioniq 5/6 and Kia EVs can charge with more than 250kW, so 10-80% in sub 30 minutes? The charging network here in Denmark supports that with non-Tesla charging stations, but maybe that’s not the case in the US?

Jorge Figueroa

I know I’m late to the conversation. I came on here to write that the guy is lying. However, after watching the clip posted on here… the man is telling the truth. How the hell did this even come up?? Now I have to find this podcast. Anyway, great bonus episode!

David Chen

Yeah the charging network in the US stinks and my car isn’t even capable of fast charging

Became a subscriber recently and working through the backlog. Came here to say, I believe he catches his poo. Poop knife segment was so damn funny. Love @joyonapping.
