Squatty Potty

You can get it on the internet.

The Squatty Potty.

Uh, and remember the name.

The Squatty Potty, yes.

We've actually advertised it on this program.

Yes.

It- so I love this question, and I wanna try to ease people's minds that it is, the majority of the session is external, like checking muscles, checking posture, checking strength, and then it all depends on comfort level if we do check the actual pelvic floor muscles on that first session or if ever.

Some people, you know, that's not something that they're comfortable with at the first session or ever, depending on their history.

There's plenty of ways to address these issues externally, but we look at posture, strength, mu- fascial connection.

So there's fascia that covers the muscle, and it's in between the muscle and skin, and sometimes that can get bound down and cause a lot of tension in the back and the butt and the belly and stuff.

... kicks in.

So I have some really, like, nice...

I always find that when you have something to help yourself, it can, like, change the whole game.

When we talk about the mind-

Yep.

Uh, Rich goes on to say, "Humble and Fred coloring books, winning a Squatty Potty, winning tickets to a comedy event.

You guys letting me promote my illustrated kids book, a beer label and jingle," remember that, "and the launch event at Stonebrooker, at Stonehooker, the Christmas parties, the Kelsey's get-togethers.

It's been a lot of years of fun listening to you guys and also being part of the bed- best little podcast community.

So I've always been fascinated by the guts, how it can go wrong and how can we stop that downstream process with proactive preventative health measures.

Do you use a squatty potty? I don't at the moment, but when I was younger, like I grew up in an Indian household, we had all of these different mechanisms, you know, for poop, better poops.

So I do believe in them.

If someone is trying to retrain their gut to be better and have ideal streamlined poop mechanics, they need a Squatty Potty.

This is the first time in history on the show that someone has said streamlined poop mechanics.

That is the funniest shit ever.

So they have this thing in America, which you can now find over here.

It's called the squatty potty.

You heard about this? So it's a little stool that you position basically around the bottom of the loo.

So when you sit down, you put your feet on the stool so that your knees are then higher than your hips.

You're actually in a different physical position.

And that simple change can actually make emptying much easier.

So, yeah, if you don't believe me, look up squatty potty and you'll find lots of different versions and variants online that you can buy if you want to have at home.

And then, of course, supplement wise, magnesium that can help some of us, particularly forms such as magnesium citrate.

There's two things I bought off of Shark Tank or whatever it was.

One of them was that, and the other one was the Squatty Potty.

I'm not sure I want to know about that one.

Is that where you carry it with you in case you've got to go poopy in the woods or something? No.

A lot of my strips.

Heidi got me a squatty potty.

And I'm on the squatty potty.

And I'm grabbing the bottom of it to support it.

And I realize I'm posed like the Green Goblin.

Besides discovering that you eventually have a penchant for self-torture, what did that teach you about comic timing, about comic endings, about how to do all of that craft?

Oh, everything.

By the way, I cannot follow Squatty Potty.
