Hey and welcome to this short stuff.
I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Ben's here too.
Sitting in for Jerry who usually sits in for Dave.
It's very confusing. So let's forget the whole thing and get started because this is short stuff.
Hey happy day after birthday friend.
Oh thank you very much. I appreciate that friend.
What'd you do? Oh jeez, I can't really get into it here but it was a good birthday.
Tell me you're private.
We had a good time but no I appreciate you getting those posts on social media.
That was very nice of you.
It made me feel very loved.
Of course people love you and they said so in the hundreds and thousands.
I know it was really nice.
Yeah, thanks a lot. Yeah you texted me.
You're like you're getting a lot of love over on Instagram right now.
Well, I have to get you to open Instagram.
Yeah, I know. It works like a chart.
It's no good. My good deed goes unseen if you don't watch it.
But thank you for that. Of course.
We'll have to go back and edit all this out because this is short stuff.
No, that was only a minute, 10, 11, 12.
We're doing great. All right, well then we have to talk really fast for the rest of the episode.
Well we're talking about something near and dear to my heart.
That I've talked about on stage in front of thousands of people and that is the fact that I not always but I mostly try to sit down when I go peepee.
I do too. I'm a sits pinkler.
Oh, do you start to do that?
Yeah, I think I confessed along with you on stage in Seattle too if I remember correctly.
But yeah, yeah, no, I told it.
Now I own it. At the time I was a little wary.
Now I'm like, yeah, I sit down to pee.
It works really well. The only time I don't is in public because I would rather cut off the lower half of my body than ever sit on a public toilet seat.
Yeah. And if I remember correctly, my on stage joke was that I sit to pee, but I stay in that one I poop.
That's right. That was a classic.
Yeah, I've been doing that though for I feel like it's semi new like in the past like six or seven years.
I started seeing down to pee and the first adult male that I saw doing this was my boy was my brother-in-law.
Oh, okay. When I was brother-in-law.
Yeah, my brother-in-law when I live with my sister's husband, Karsten, who is German.
That makes sense because this is a very German thing.
I didn't know that. I didn't either.
I think actually you may found this one because we were talking about, I don't remember what we were talking about.
We looked it up and it turned out that this is a big thing in Germany and they have a word for it.
Sitzpinkler. Can you say it with a German accent?
Yeah, Hasselhoff. I wonder if he does.
No, you said it right basically.
Sitzpinkler. Yeah, there you go.
That's what I was looking for.
You just got to add a little flare.
It makes sense too that the Germans would have a word for it because the Germans have a word for everything.
But the reason why a little bell went off in my head when you said your brother-in-law is German is because it's a big deal in Germany.
As a matter of fact, there was a U-gov poll of eight Western European countries plus the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia and Singapore.
The whole point of this poll was to find out where men sit down to pee the most.
So it was groundbreaking scientific poll.
And Germany won out. I didn't quite get this because it says 62% of German men sit every time.
No. A combined 62% sit every time or most times.
Oh, okay. Every time being 40%, 22% most times.
I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I mean, that means that for the most part, by far, most German men, you'll find them sitting down when they're peeing most of the time.
Yeah. And behind them was Sweden at 50% did mark 44.
Australia, which kind of surprised me at 39.
I thought they would be pretty low on the list.
Yeah. But the US, Mexico, Britain and Singapore rounded out between 20 and 24%.
Yeah. Which all of that's a little surprising.
I thought Singapore would be up there with you.
I thought Australia would be down there because they're so rough and tumble.
Yeah. That's a big thing.
That's such a sexist or misogynistic.
I don't know what it is exactly.
But it's just a really kind of wrong thing to assume.
Oh, yeah. Australians are rough and tumble.
They ride kangaroos around and drink like 55 gallon drums of fostered and eat it out back every night.
But if so, of course they don't sit down and pee.
And that's kind of like this idea behind the Sitz Pinkler thing like it's used in Germany or it used to be used as an insult.
