- See that's how oblivious I was.
I did not even notice anything else
that was in that bathroom.
All I saw was gold and just blacked out.
(upbeat orchestral music)
This is New York
City.
New York City.
It's a city of endless possibilities
where you can find just about anything.
And I mean anything.
I'm talkin' about a little thing called an
Holy shit this city is weird.
The best thing about this toilet,
it's fully functional.
It works. That's right.
That means your number ones
and your number two's,
they're going straight into that 18
And I know you're asking yourselves
"Chris, Where do you think you're gonna find
such a grand piece of plumbing?"
Why that of course is the Guggenheim
which to you uncultured beasts is an art museum
in the upper east side of Manhattan.
I stumbled across a New York Times article
that stated while this golden throne's
been installed for a year,
it's run and it's next week,
so you know I gotta see this thing before it disappears.
Even though it's one of the smallest installations
in the museums history,
have visited the toilet
and the line can be an hour long.
The exact cost of the toilet hasn't been released
That is one expensive potty.
Alright enough talkin'.
Let's go do this.
First I'm gonna need to grab somebody
to go with me on this.
Hey there.
Alright so I've got two questions for you.
- Go ahead, hit me, what's up?
- Do you like toilets?
- I love toilets.
- That's one.
What's your favorite color?
- Uh, green?
- Can you, like, just for the sake of this video
like, just say your favorite color is gold?
- Okay so just, alright.
- You know like when I ask your favorite color.
Not, don't say green.
So what's your favorite color?
- My favorite color is gold man.
- Oh man. Those are two good answers.
- I love gold, I love toilets.
- What if I told you there's a solid gold toilet
right here in Manhattan.
- I would say that your shittin' me.
- Oh ho ho, boy this is gonna be a fun video.
- Hold on, hold on please.
Something's not right man.
- It's the sunglasses.
Now we're good. - Now we're good.
- What's weird is like,
this is art that we're gonna be using.
Also the name of this piece is called America.
- Oh I love it!
- We made it.
(lively music)
This is definitely it.
There's a line here.
(brooding music)
So it's 3:36.
- Found a seat.
Chris just asked if that water fountain counts.
Heck no it doesn't.
- That counts right?
Can't we just go home now?
So as we're waiting,
this is actually a pretty treacherous line.
- We got this huge line.
Got a ton of people comin' in that use one bathroom
and only one person goin' in at a time.
- That's a lot of butts.
- That's a lot of butts, one seat.
- Chris wait.
We came from all the way back there
and you wanna leave now?
- You're right.
We're so close.
- I can smell the gold man I can smell the gold.
- Jay that's not gold.
That's not gold that you smell.
Is it dumb that my heart is racing right now?
Just checkin' to make sure that
that toilet's still in there,
I would hate to have waited an hour
and that toilet's gone.
Good to go?
Oh the room is small.
Ha ha ha! Oh man.
It's so shiny.
(angelic singing)
It's a gold toilet.
I feel like I have to sit on it for real.
What the hell am I doing?
If I'm being honest,
I'm too nervous to even go to the bathroom on it.
'cause it's millions of dollars
and there's a line.
I gotta get outta here.
I'm not even gonna say anything.
I want you to experience it.
- Chris didn't steal the toilet.
It's still in place
What the fuck?
Look at that baby.
I didn't know it was like this gold.
That is amazing.
Gold handle.
Look at that, the water even looks gold.
Ohhhh. Oh I'm usin' this toilet.
Oh I'm sittin' on it.
I'm happy, I think I almost forgot to button my pants, but.
'cause I was so excited.
- So we had a little bit different of experiences here.
I just panicked.
I sat on it for like, eight seconds.
Eight seconds tops.
It's gettin' silly in here.
Now you can say that you've gone to the bathroom
on a million dollar toilet.
So was it just me or was that
Was it like alarmingly cold for you?
- It was freakin' cold as hell.
Chris I am very thrilled
that you brought me out of the office today
to see this beauty.
- We caught it just before this toilet
is leaving the museum and going off
to do what gold toilets do which is just--
- Be golden somewhere else.
Stay golden - Stay golden
(whimsical orchestral music)
