Big Daddy heads up the C Block, talks improv and somehow finds sniffing babies very funny… Stick around to hear the set and spike from Matty and The Professor that made him belly laugh…
In this episode, the Infection Team flushes out some awkward truths: a third of Gen Z workers are too scared to use the office bathroom. A new study from QS Supplies shows “poop-xiety” is real, and it’s taking a toll on workplace productivity (and workers’ health). What’s behind the restroom resistance? Privacy, smell, and noise rank as top fears. We dig into how companies are losing thousands in lost productivity from employees dodging bathroom breaks—or taking too many.
Then, the Infection Team dives into “poop-xiety” on a whole new level. Turns out, 63% of Americans avoid going number two when their date’s around. Is there a limit to love? Hear why spicy food and dairy are romance no-gos and what’s behind the social stigma of being “toilet-shy” with your partner.
Finally, we shift gears to the latest from North Korea: Kim Jong Un launched an intercontinental ballistic missile that soared over 4,000 miles high. Was this a power move or just posturing? With North Korea’s show of force, and closer ties to Russia, we explore the regional and global ripple effects. Plus, The Team has some choice words for the “pencil-dicked, inbred” dictator himself.
This episode is loaded, so tune in, laugh, and maybe think twice before you flush. 🚽
