If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.
- But what if it's 2.7 million dollars? - Let's talk about that.

- Good Mythical Morning! - Generally when you sit down on a toilet,
you expect it to be empty of everything except water. But that's unfortunately not
always the case. A bathroom is never a good place to be surprised, but some
- surprises are better than others... - That's right.
- as we'll see today. - And some are worse. So what we've done
is we've rounded up the weirdest, wackiest, and most wonderful...
- (laughs) That's good. - things ever to be found in a toilet,
- Positive spin. - besides turds.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not gonna... - No turds.
- No potty humor at all. - We're not gonna talk about turds or poop
- or scat... at all! In this episode. - Here we go. Anymore.
Last year, a hotel room toilet is clogged at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City,
- New Jersey. - Been there.
And when I say "last year," I guess I should clarify that they're probably
- clogged all the time. - Ah. Probably one clogged right now,
- and some guy's like... - (laughs) Yeah. It's a hotel.
Should I call the front desk about this or should I just deal with it?
- You dinged that. - Yeah, it was a sound effect.
(ring dings on mug) For emphasis of your joke. To try to rescue it.
- I'm married. (dings) - 2.7 million dollars is what clogged
- this particular toilet last year. - Wowsers.
They snaked the pipe and it was 2.7 million dollars worth of poker chips, okay?
- Oh. But you could cash those suckers in. - Insert royal flush joke here.
Oh. You could've made the royal flush joke.
No. I didn't have one. I didn't even wanna do it.
- Oh. - It turns out Christian Lusardi--
- Fayetteville, N.C resident-- - Oh! Whassup, Fayetteville?
(laughs) He flushed the 2.7 million dollars to hide them because they were...
- (clicks tongue) counterfeit poker chips. - Ahhhh. (gruffly) Christian! (smacks)
- Naughty Fayetteville boy! (laughs) - (laughs) He'd been using these
- counterfeit poker chips... - Oh, that's stupid.
- at another casino... - Yeah he had.
at the Winter Poker Open's Big Stack No Hold 'Em Tournament.
- Big stack?! - Yeah. You've heard of this.
- Yeah. - No.
- Haven't. - Once they found the flushed counterfeit
poker chips, then they started looking through that casino and they found...
- Yeah. - 160 $5,000 chips. That's an 80...
Lemme try again. $800,000 worth of fake chips that he had put into play
- at this tournament... - Wow. He was really wheeling and dealing.
the rest of which he flushed. He was arrested and charged. Here's the sad thing:
There were 4,800 people that participated in this tournament, and then they found
out that he had this counterfeit stuff happening
- Yeah. - when they were down to 27 people, and
- then they cancelled the whole thing. - Oh, Christian!
Yeah. And he wasn't a very good poker player, so he puts $800,000 of fake...
- ah, stuff in there. - Chips.
Chips. How much did he leave with before he was caught? $6,814.
- Oh, that's a good day. - (laughs) He is not...
- 800,000 in, 6,000 out. - It's a good day when the $800,000 is
- fake, but otherwise you suck at poker. - And he got caught.
- You suck at life! - I don't expect these to flush very well.
- That's probably part of the problem. - One at a time.
How about a squirrel? In Winnipeg, Canada, a woman woke up hearing loud splashing
noises from her bathroom. She goes in there and she finds a tiny squirrel is
- swimming around in the bowl. - (Link) The picture looks gross. What's
- happening? - That doesn't look like a tiny squirrel,
by the way, unless that's a really tiny toilet. That looks like a pretty big
squirrel. What does the woman do? Does she call Animal Control? No, she goes and gets
a pair of barbecue tongs, like any normal person from Winnipeg, and takes the
barbecue tongs, takes the squirrel out, and then is like, "You know what, he's
been in a toilet. I'm gonna bathe him." So she keeps him in the tongs, bathes
- him in the bathtub... - That's good.
and then releases him on their back porch. And then she starts a Twitter account.
Or maybe the squirrel did, because it was @ToiletSquirrel. In the description he is a
lover of plumbing, swimming, and exploration. This Twitter account is still
up, but she has not posted since 2013, so apparently the squirrel is doing other
- things like getting into other toilets. - It's so interesting to me that that was
her application. Like, at every point she has to make a decision, it's a little bit
- unexpected. - Tongs!
- Barbecue tongs... - Twitter!
- Twitter... like, what am I-- - Tongs and Twitter!
(laughs) Okay, I got another one. All right, listen. Before I really dive into
this one, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that the puppy survives.
- Oh, it's a puppy. - The puppy is still fluffy, adorable,
- and totally alive, okay? - That's great.
So just rest your weary little mind and now let me get into it. Six years ago in
Middlesex, England, a 4-year-old Nicky Blair took his 1-week-old puppy...
- Aww, cocker spaniel! For a walk - Oh.
- in the little garden area. - Yeah. He was probably tripping over
- the grass... so cute. - So, so cute.
So cute (high pitched) Aw, he can't even get over the plants!
- But gettin' a little bit dirty, right? - (normally) Oh, yeah.
So the puppy's gettin' a little bit dirty. Brings him back in. His twin brother
- Daniel decides... - Oh, Daniel. What a jerk.
- that the dirty puppy needs a bath... - Daniel's always causin' trouble.
- in the toilet. - He needs to go to a casino with Christian.
Now, it's one thing to give a puppy a bath in a toilet, but why you gotta flush
- the toilet? - To agitate it.
- Like it's a washing machine. - It's a jacuzzi. Yeah, yeah.
- Well, I really need to move it around... - So he flushes the puppy down the toilet
and the mom hears about this. This mom, incidentally, has six other kids, so...
This is not the last bad decision that Daniel will make in his life.
Or, when you have that many kids, something like this is happening
- every single day. - Right.
- She calls Dyno-Rod... - Of course she does.
- which is a British superhero. - (laughs) Dyno Rod is here!
- (both laugh) - Where's the puppy?
Or it's just a plumber, really. It's a plumbing company. The specialist shows up
and puts a camera down in there, locates the living puppy 65 feet, 20 meters from
the house. There's even a diagram here to help you appreciate the distance here.
- Dyno-Rod's got a long arm. - So afterward, they rescued the puppy
- and then they named the puppy Dyno... - Aw.
after the plumbing company. No, they did not name it Daniel.
- They put Daniel up for adoption. - Yeah, they should do that.
We only need one of 'em, we've got two already.
Yeah, we're not naming this puppy after the evil twin who thinks that a bathtub
- is a toilet. - Okay.
Gimme another one. So that one had a happy ending.
- Seven years ago in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. - Lebanon.
Lebanon... There's a Lebanon, North Carolina, too. Ah, Lebanon.
Police received a 911 call from a frantic man. Shannon Hunter. He says that he has
fallen into a toilet... the toilet part of a port-o-potty.
Oh, he's in a port-a-john?! On the phone?!
- And he is stuck. And he's naked. - (crew laughs)
- What? Where was he keeping his phone? - Let that sink in. I don't know.
- That's a great question. - (laughs) I don't wanna know the answer.
In his mouth, apparently. Anyway, he calls 911. They show up.
He is all-- is he totally in there, or just like--
- He is wedged up to his waist. - So he's like this in there.
Yeah, yeah. So you go into a port-a-john and you're like, "Whoa!" There's a man,
- like a top half of a man... - (laughs)
- It's like a haunted house exhibit. - (crew laughs)
- And he's naked. - This is a nightmare.
My nightmare has always been dropping my cellphone in a port-a-john.
Have you ever looked into the bottom of that? Can you imagine what your feet are
in there, sloshing around? And other things in there, 'cause you're naked. So anyway--
- Why was he naked?! - They show up and they ask him why he's
naked, and he just shrugs his shoulders.
- His bare shoulders. - (silly voice) If I told you, you wouldn't
- believe it. - (both laugh)
I bet that's what he said! That's what's so funny about it.
- I'm glad you thought that was funny. - I don't know why it was.
- He was wedged so tightly in this thing... - Man, if I told you...
that they had to physically cut him out of the port-o-potty with a saw.
And thankfully, this is why local news exists. The local news does a segment.
- Oh yes. - It seems that this gentleman had got
naked and went into the port-o-potty and somehow or another immersed himself into
- the holding tank. - I've been on the job in one form,
fashion or another for 21 years, and I gotta tell you, this is the first
- port-o-potty rescue I've ever had. - This is probably in the top five.
(voiceover) Rescue crews actually had to cut apart the potty
- (Rhett) Check this guy out. - (voiceover) to pull him out safely.
I guess you would have to say the whole thing's called vandalism of spot-a-pot.
(laughs)
- The what? Vandalism of a what? - I've listened to it...
- (Link and crew laugh) - I've listened to it 700 times.
I guess you would have to say the whole thing's called vandalism of spot-a-pot.
Vandalism of spinapod is what he-- I can't-- does anyone know what he's saying?
- (Noah) Sounds like Spotify. - Spotify? No, it's not...
- Vandalism of Spotify. - This is not a viral ad for Spotify.
- This guy does not know about Spotify. - (laughs) He doesn't!
- Spinapod. - Play it one more time.
... the whole thing's called vandalism of spot-a-pot.
He certainly thinks it's funny, though. He's like, (fake laughs)
He thought it was just as funny as what you thought he said earlier.
(silly voice) I guess you just had to call the whole thing vandalism of sponapod.
- (fake laughs) - Oh, my gosh.
It makes no sense. If you know what this guy's saying, please, please tell us.
Let us know in the comments. Or tell him to call us if you know him personally.
And if you're currently trapped in a port-o-potty, naked, just figure a way
out, okay? Just... you can use something to... you just get out of there.
- Right. (laughs) - Don't call anybody.
Just get out of there and don't tell anybody it ever happened!
Thanks for liking and commenting on this video.
You know what time it is.
- My name's Leo. - My name's Louis!

I think it's my turn to dance.
- ♪ (smooth electronic music) ♪ - So Billy started that day like any other
day, until he spotted the port-a-john and had an urge to go inside and see what it
was all about. Of course, he was already naked, because he's living life to the
fullest. If he told you, heh, you wouldn't even understand. I don't know if he got
on his phone first or if he got on the throne first, but he was in both places,
and then... as he was situating, well, there was a little slippage.
- I'm already there. I'm in there. - He's already there. And boy, is he
having a party in there. And he's dialing the number, and then it's... I guess you
would just call it "vandalism of a spotipah."
