- Guess what?
I fixed a toilet last night.
Most of the time when stuff like that happens,
I'm like, oh help me, oh god.
But last night I was like, you know what?
Just lifted the lid off, rolled up the sleeves,
went in, yanked the chain, reattached it.
And it worked!
Yes, that's right, everybody.
I climbed a domestic Everest.
And after the show I was thinking,
I wanna empower other women to do the same thing
and not feel like a damsel in distress.
Are you wondering why I'm wearing this, when I say that?
I don't wanna be a damsel in distress.
So when I heard about Judaline Cassidy, a plumber
and activist for women working in the trade business,
I had to meet her.
And she created a nonprofit called Tools and Tiaras,
maybe making sense now.
That's right.
She teaches young women everything
from plumbing to electrical work, and even auto mechanics.
And she's today's Wildflower.
And she's here with us now.
(people cheering)
Judaline!
- Thank you for having me, Drew.
- Oh, I love you so much.
I'm so happy you're here.
I have been so excited about this segment.
- [Judaline] Me too.
- Because I did, I finally did something for myself
instead of calling for help.
And it was really empowering.
And it made me realize that I'm at the tip of the iceberg.
And then Jessica Yankelunas put us together,
and I've been like waiting to do this with you.
- [Judaline] Likewise.
- And let me ask you a question.
Why did you decide to get into
the business that you're in, plumbing?
- I decided to get into this business,
honestly Drew, for the money.
- [Drew] Dude, I love it!
- So that's the first reason.
And then I love being a plumber.
- I love that answer.
It's so refreshing, because I wanna carve out
a path for myself that will be financially viable.
That's an excellent reason.
And what did you wanna teach other girls,
as you empowered yourself with a financially viable job,
and something that makes you feel like you can do anything?
- Yeah, the reason for doing that,
I wanted every little girl growing up to know that
she can be a laborer, a welder,
a iron worker, even a president.
So I wanted girls to believe and truly embrace
the idea that jobs don't have genders.
- And you trademarked that. - Yes.
- And you should, because it's funny
that a sentence like that seems so logical.
And yet, when I heard it, I was like,
oh my god, you gotta say that
because it's so eye opening at the same time.
- Yes, it is.
Just imagine I'm really tiny, as you can see,
four foot 11 and seven eighths, and I do this.
- And you are a true bad,
I don't think Christine would let me say it,
but you know what I'm thinking.
- Be good girls.
- Okay, well, will you teach me?
Because I was like, okay, tip of the iceberg.
I wanna go to the next step.
I wanna learn, learn, learn.
Can you teach me what the next thing to tackle is?
- Yes, well you did the first one,
which we're gonna do today.
And a lot of people at home,
you all have toilet bowls that are running,
and Mother Earth she is crying
because she's a source, not a resource.
So in order to do that... (everyone clapping)
And that's my friend Tia always tells me that.
And the next step you're gonna do,
you're gonna go to your bathroom,
and you're gonna face your toilet.
On the left hand side of your toilet bowl,
when you face it, right,
you're gonna shut off the water supply.
You have to shut off the water so we can save water.
- There's something down there?
- Yeah, it's a shut-off valve, Drew.
You've seen it.
- I mean, I've definitely been in this position
and I never saw that before.
- Yes, it's there.
- But I was probably wearing a tiara, come to think of it.
Actually. - All right.
So the next step, Drew, after we shut the water off.
Everyone at home, don't forget, shut the water.
All right, we're gonna take the tank cover off,
place it to the side, right.
And now you're gonna flush the toilet
to remove the contents that are in the tank.
- Yeah. - Flush it.
- This is like a perfect toilet.
This is not what it normally looks like.
- Yeah, at home you're gonna
have it looking totally different.
Just flush it, empty it.
You're gonna get, you're gonna locate where the flapper is,
and you're gonna disconnect it from the chain.
The chain from the handle.
- I'm disconnecting it.
- Nice. - And then you pull it, right?
- Yeah, put some little girl power in there
and pull it off, the old one.
- Oh my gosh!
No! - Drew, no Drew.
That's okay, Drew, Drew, Drew.
You're fine, on the new chain, you have a chain on there.
The new flapper, you have a chain.
- Ah!
- Good, very good. - Oh god!
Oh dear, what have I done?
All right, it's off, it's off.
By the way, this looks like an organ.
- No!
So the next step, Drew, you're gonna take your rag.
- Yeah, I don't, I didn't get one.
Oh, it is there. - It's on the front.
And then you're gonna take it
and wipe where you just took the flapper off.
See, at home, you will have debris, so you wanna wipe it.
Put that aside, get the new flapper.
And you're going to clip it.
You see the hook right there, everyone?
You're gonna take that and hook it back on.
- [Drew] Yeah, I see exactly where
you're supposed to hook it.
It's all making sense.
I totally get it!
- [Judaline] And now you're gonna
reattach the chain onto the handle.
You got this? - Yeah.
Oh yeah I do.
- [Judaline] All right.
Good.
Drew, you got this. - I do, I got it!
- You got it, girl.
Next.
You're gonna take the tank cover, cover it back.
And don't forget, you did shut the water off.
So we gotta turn it back on.
- That's right.
- So let's go back down, Drew.
- [Drew] Get back in the position.
- Yes, you're gonna go lefty loosey, and loosen it.
- And righty tighty, right?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- And then you're gonna turn the water back on.
And now we flush.
Success.
- Yes! (audience clapping)
You guys!
- And Mother Earth is saying thank you, Drew.
- Could I learn more from you?
Because I know you're teaching all these amazing girls.
In fact, you can go to our website @drewbarrymore.com
and look at Judaline's amazing program, Tools and Tiaras.
Will you come back and teach us more?
- [Judaline] Oh yeah.
- I want to be more like you and less like this.
- If you wanna be more like me, Drew,
and be part of the #girlgang, I got you.
- Oh, thank you.
Here, put it down and then I'll come grab it.
You know, Christine is watching.
- Right, but it's okay.
Here we go, we'll spray it.
- Thank you.
Oh my god, this is the coolest thing ever.
Thank you, Judaline.
- And now you can start to put tools in there
and become one of the awesome
tradeswoman group that I belong to.
- By the way, I'm not kidding.
- [Judaline] Changes everything.
- Guess what I'm gonna look like on Saturday.
Thank you, Judaline!
