Johnny's on the Potty Pottycast

A Stroke of Genius, Cow Farts & Wisconsin's Meltdown

Episode Summary

That sound of flushing? You know exactly what that means. This episode opens with Johnny tackling a topic everybody thinks about but nobody talks about, settling once and for all whether it's okay to touch yourself, with a full breakdown of the actual health benefits behind it. Then things take a hard left into Wisconsin dairy country, where a listener's letter about a family fortune lost to almond trees and oat fields turns into one of the show's most unexpectedly educational rants, cow farts, blue whale milk, and a wild proposal for what to do with 15,000 cows once the milk business dries up. Plus: a fart joke or two, and a naming contest for the show's mascot that's been dying for a rebrand. Self-care, sour milk, and a Wisconsin comeback story you did not see coming.
