I Welcome to another episode of the Demon Babie podcast. It's me, Joey Lombardo, aka The Demon of Hollywood, doing another day and another podcast in another way. And I'm here with my co-host Emma Nilsson, Blond Babie. But most people know her as Babie Rubio. What? Yeah. You're Spanish. Oh, claro que si. Lo siento. Yeah. So, you know, you're big in Mexico. True. Huge. Verdad. Welcome to another episode. Today we're going to be going over bathrooms, so let's get to it. I'm very excited for today's topic. I know we've been talking about this all day. This is going to be a great topic. It's going to be a great episode. It's gonna be the best episode. I think this is going to go down in episode history. Number one episode. You're too hyped for it in a good way. Yep. So why don't you kick us off since you're so excited? What is your first topic? My first topic. First topic? Japanese bathrooms. That was gonna be mine. It's my God. Cream of the crop. I actually, ever since we've been back, I've been wanting to change our toilet to one of those little Japanese toilets. Yeah, I love it. Hottest toilet. It's so cool. The ones that play music and they have the bidet and everything, I miss it. I like the seat going up when you walk in. I like that's nice. I don't. Yeah, I like that. That's not even the part I'm most excited about. I love every other part of that toilet. I think it's the coolest toilet in the world and I wish we had them here. I wish it was commonplace here. They have those in public restrooms. They're everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere. You are going to have a clean butt. But I don't think there was one toilet that wasn't fully, suited up that I used. I don't recall one noting any city we were into. We were all over the map. Every city, every. Every toilet bowl. Every level of food. Yeah, and dining and hotel and everything. They said you will be clean. Heated seats. See, I don't know about the heated seats. I like them. Heated seat is mid for me. But yeah, I miss it. I wish we had it. But we're not only talking toilet talk, we're also going to be doing bathrooms. They have the best hand soap Japanese bathrooms okay. And a lot of restaurants and cafes had mouthwash in every single one. Elite. And a little Dixie cup. Well, mouthwash. Why is that not even close to commonplace here? I haven't I haven't seen the only place I see mouthwash is a bathroom attendant. Yeah, a bathroom attendant. That's too much. And I'm never going to be hassle in this guy for mouthwash. And then he has candy and cigarets. Yeah. That's cool. That's a whole different there. I like a bathroom attendant. That will be the next topic. But why do we not have. More. Accommodations in our bathrooms? I don't know, because Americans are greedy. Americans are greedy and sloppy and gross, and they're unclean in comparison. I will say the Japanese toilet very nice. 10/10 if I'm going to rate them. But overhyped still no. Yep. You just rated it ten out of ten. And we're literally talking it. Rated like a million out of ten. And I'm like, okay, calm down. You still are. Okay, just because your toilet isn't sodomizing you doesn't mean it's a bad experience. And you can't clean yourself. You're too high. You're like, just get in the anal play if you're craving it that bad. Yeah, you don't have to fly to Japan to just. Buy a butt plug. to get touched there. You know, you don't. Even need somebody else to do it. No. Yeah. But I don't know like it's it is really good, but it's still overhyped. That's fine. Not a lot of things are really good and overhyped. True. But yeah, I understand what you mean in that way. But I still love them and I'm going to stay hyped up. All right. Sorry. Next topic. You made me forget it. Honestly. Bathroom attendants, bathroom attendants. I don't like it. I like it. It feels classy to me. No, I feel like a scumbag because I never have cash on me. Yeah, they take venmo now. Okay, well, if you need something. They're handing me the paper towel from the little holder right. There, handing them cash for that. But if you want some of the accouterment. I never take accouterment. I just want a paper towel, and I want to be on my way. Okay? But I love buying the. I don't even vape, but I love going to the bathroom. I'm like, guys, guess what? I got? Boom. Brand new vape. Okay, that's valid, but overall I'm not doing that. So for me, it's just I feel like a scumbag for not tipping this person who's waiting on everyone hand and foot and being really nice. Wait, well, let's maybe not blame them and blame you. And maybe you are a scumbag. To what I'm saying. I feel I am. There making you feel as you are. I feel. What I am putting me in my. A scumbag. They’re putting me in my goddamn place. Yeah, I hate it. Okay, so you don't like that? No, I really hate it. They're usually very. Nice. I know. It's worse. I mean, it's not a glorious job to them. They're pretty humble about it, Joey. It makes me feel even worse. They're nice. Yes. Imagine if they're mean, though. I wouldn't feel as bad. All right, next topic. Showers that don't have a door. Like, you know how it's getting really popular. The like the shower. Without it, you can just walk out. Yeah. And then there's just fucking water everywhere. I don't mind it, I like it. You like that? Your whole bathroom. Now what? Well, if. You know how to tell yourself off, it's not a problem. No, it's not about the toweling off. It's about the telling of. No. Hear me out. The whole floor is wet from the shower. I understand, I like it, I like a wet room. What kind of pervert are you. Oh my God I'm allowed to like something. We know you like it wet but chill out. Jesus Didn’t you liked it dry. Sometimes, at least in the shower. It needs to be dry. Once I'm out of the shower, it's gross. See if if your room's getting wet. The shower is not big enough. You're too poor for that. I'm in a one room environment. I'm not in any way rich right now. But if you're getting too much room wet. That means everything's too small. You're too poor. You don't have the square footage properly. We have been in enough hotels that do this, and they're nice hotels. And the whole bathroom still gets wet. So I don't agree with the poor aspect I think are bad design. I think it's bad design. No, I think it's just lack of space. No, I need. To be in bigger space. It's bad design. I like them. It's about design. We are not going to agree on this next topic. Home installed bidets? Depends. I think it's. A kind of trashy. If it's not auto right on there, I don't like the looks of it. There was one apartment I went to and it had it and I didn't want to touch it. And it was just kind of like weirdly fixed on to the toilet. And I kept looking at it like, this just looks wrong, like it looks weird. It gives trashy because, you know. Yeah, I. Don't know why it does. I think it's probably very hygienic and good and. Oh, I'm sure. Love them. I don't like how much people love them, but yeah, it does just give a little trashyness to me. And I'm not sure why, but it just does it. It does? Yeah. It just feels. You need that much. You need that much. Maybe they do. Next topic. Porta bodies. Oh, nice. Yeah. Nice topic. You know, they're the worst thing in the absolute world. And I hate them, but I love them at the same time. What? Yeah. How? Why? They're when you need them. And they always make you want to fucking puke. You know, there's been some times late nights where you're in a porta potty and you're like, glad I'm in this porta potty. That's true when you're in desperate need and it happens to be there. Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. But you know, what's the worst is when it doesn't even have, like, a handwash station outside and you're just fucking, like, searching for hand sanitizer. It's a tough look. Yeah, yeah, the whole set up, and it's just bad. It's never there. Yeah. That's a real grimy. Sometimes there's hand sanitizer and I am coating myself in it. Yeah, it's shower time. Fucking gross. Yeah. You don't eat after that. No, you don't do anything. You go home, you go home, you go home. You're done. You're done. Because, like, yeah, bathroom routines. Next topic. Sorry. Next up, a bathroom routines. Like washing up routines. What do you mean? Okay, let me run by, something I do in public bathrooms. Okay. This is my public bathroom demon Hollywood public bathroom routine. Okay, if. It's not a bar, like we're already in the grime of the world. If you're being a nice person of the world, there’s sunlight out, most likely this routines happening. Okay. Daylight. Bathroom. Understood. Go on, walk in. Grab a paper towel. First object, then use that paper towel. Touch everything. Lock the door with the all everything handles. Flushing everything with that paper towel. Starting this thing, closing the thing. Then new paper towel. Clean this bathroom experience. That's my daytime public bathroom right. I like that. Yeah. You don't have any routine. Wow. You just go in like a wild animal. No I just try not to touch anything as much as possible. That's a lot of footwork. Squat you know. Okay. Get calves burning, thighs burning. Wash my hands for as long as possible. That's what. Row row row your boat twice. Yeah, twice. Got it. Every time I come out squeaky clean. And then I usually, especially if the doors get pushed open, I'll kick it with my foot so I don't get my hands dirty. Yeah, yeah. Big door kicker. Yeah. I'm kicking everything in there. I'm like Bruce Lee. Yeah. Love it. Next topic. Hands soap. Oh there's tiers to hands soap. the tiers. to hands up is insane. I just. It's gotten out of hand. I love it I recently got a hand soap I hate it. And it was just the most upsetting things. I wanted to replace it right away. And I felt like I was stupid because we had gone from a nice hand soap to just a whatever hand soap. And it was what do we have, what was our nice one. Our nice one was the Aesop Was that the one with the micro plastics in it. Yes. Nice. Yeah. I like those microplastics. Oh yeah. No I take. Those. I feel extra clean after. Yeah. Those things were nice. They had little beads and they've just. It's almost like they're exfoliating. So I went from that to like, Doctor Bronner's like lavender soap. Terrible. And it's brown. And it just never came out of the handle. Squirty part. Right. And it just I feel like it got everywhere. How viscous do you want your hand soap. I want it to just be thick enough that it just puddles on your hand. Not fucking shooting across the room. I don't want a squirter. Well sorry if we're talking hand soap, I agree. Yeah, we're talking hand soap. Okay then yes, I agree. Yeah. I don't want to be on record saying I don't want a squirter. That'd be crazy. Understood. I feel like you can't. You shouldn't be able to pass it between your hands without any water like this. Like it's got to be thick enough. Yeah, to hold on to a hand. Yeah I agree. Yeah. It has to be thick enough to puddle on your hand and not fucking shoot across the room. Throw it like you know. Yeah. Water. Yeah I agree like honey. Yeah I want a honey consistency in my hand soap. I agree. Next up is bathroom tiles. There's levels to that too. There are I don't know if bigger tiles are classier or smaller tiles are classier I always I'm, I feel like almost mid not middle schmidle small medium smmedium tiles are probably the classiest. You know it's the trashiest. That big square fake marble. It was really popular like 4 or 5 years ago though. Yeah, but now I feel like you see it in like a 7-11 bathroom. True. Yeah. You know. When you know it's fake. Fake. You're like, that's it's. Peeling up at the edges. Yeah. You're like, whoa, that's that's not how rocks erode. No. Yeah yeah that's tough I agree. Yeah I really like the current trend of like the longer rectangle ones. And then they're all like a little uneven and like yeah, neutral tone really into. That South American. Yeah. They look artisanal. I like those a lot. Sometimes up sometimes I like a white subway tile. But I feel like once they're not freshly installed they look bad. Black subway tile. Black or white. Yeah. Oh you know what I love. This isn't a bathroom but the black subway tile ceiling. Yeah I like the dumpling spot at the dumpling spot on Cahuenga. It has a really pretty dome. Very nice. All tile. Nice to. Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree. I feel like tiles got to be shiny. No. Not always. No. Okay, true. Not always. First of all, you're wrong. I yeah, I immediately took it back. Yeah. Okay. What about, like, Spanish tile? Like that red tile. What do you think of that? My original childhood house was all that on the base layer. So you hate it? I it feels. No, I don't hate it. I don't it doesn't feel classy or nice. I think it can be. Maybe. I think it depends on the setting. Nice I have okay. I think I think it depends on the setting. There you go. Yeah. Next topic. Bathtubs. Bathtubs. Do you like a lion's foot? You mean like a clawfoot? Clawfoot, love. Isn’t it a lions claw. It's clawfoot. It's a clawfoot. Tub. No lion in there. No. You, sir. Pretty sure. Damn. Sorry. Clawfoot tubs. Nice. Do you like your bath tub like a freestanding bath tub, or do you like it attached to the shower? I think freestanding is classier Freestanding is way class. Yeah, because once again, you're proving you have the room. You have space. You have space. Yeah. But sometimes if it's forced into a, like, a corner or something, I go, that looks stupid. But if it's up against a big window, that's nice. Yeah. For all the pervs out there. Yeah. I know who you are. Some of us like to look out the window. Some of us like. Yeah, but you know what the problem is? If you have a cheap tub and then it hasn't been, like, refinished, and then it's just turning yellow. Yeah. Stained tubs, tough look. Stained tub is tough. That's one sign of. Really old old LA apartments have tiny tubs. Like I swear to God they only fill up like a foot deep. I don't know what the fuck that is. About Japanese tub. It's not long. It's only. It's like circular. I've never used one so. Maybe it's nice. I feel like it's weird, though, when you're sitting in, like, a deeper. Yeah, I don't I might be nice. I don't know, I don't know. I'd like to try that before I comment on it. Okay. No comment. But I love a bathtub. But I don't bath that often. I don't ever bath unless I'm violently ill. That's when I'll. Bath. And then we got to really scrub it down after. Yeah, yeah. Violently ill is the only time I'll take about. If I'm, like, crazy sore, have bad cramps, then I'll hop in there. It’s good for cramps. Yeah. Next topic. Showerheads. Oh, I. Want a showerhead that will make me bleed. It's kind of I want. I want to be worried. I'm bald after. I want it to hurt me. I want it to rip me apart. I want it to. I want Bdsm in the shower. I want it to just take advantage of me, Do whatever it pleases. I cannot have a soft water shower. Showerhead that does soft. I can't do it, I hate it. I need good water pressure. You want to get beat up? I want it to look like I was protesting for black rights with a fire hose hitting me, which. You should have been. Well, you did, I wasn’t around. Yeah, I don't agree with that fully. Like, I definitely wanted to have good water pressure so it can get the shampoo out of my hair, but I don't want to bleed. Have you ever had it too strong? No. Exactly. Ours is definitely not as strong as I would like. There was one week that they were working on the pipes and our water pressure got, turned up. We were cooking was with pressure. That was the best week at the apartment. I had felt so clean. I don't really like rainwater shower heads. I feel like they're pointless. I like them. They're just for vibes. You're not getting clean. Oh I like vibes. You just said that. That's like the softest shower head you could get. No. There's so much water falling. It's just like dripping on you. drip drop. drip drop bitch. Drop it I'll take it. All right. Sorrry I like to feel like I’m in nature for once in my life. I like, like a shower handle. Like. Yeah, I'm sure you do. Okay. Next topic. Sinks. Sinks, sinks are the spoons of the bathroom. You need the sink to just be right. And there's so many sinks that just miss. And I hate them so much. It's like I have autism. You do. It just makes my skin crawl. So I'm saying, like, why would you do this? I love going into a fancy restaurant and seeing what their sinks look like. I have to go to the bathroom at least once because I need to see what the sink looks like. Speaking of, we're going to do a side topic on this topic. Restaurant bathrooms need to up their game 90% of the time. That 10% that really go for it. Oh, beautiful. I'll probably come back. I'm taking pictures. I'm posting. I'm probably tagging. Yeah. When the bathroom at a nice restaurant, it's just as nice as the food and everything. I'm like, oh, you guys did it. This is a ten out of ten experience when it's bullshit. Oh, I'm pissed, I'm pissed. I'm like, why am I here? Yeah. Excuse me. Where was the ambiance? You ruined my ambiance. You ruin the vibe. You took me out. Candlelight out there. Why am I coming in here with fluorescent tubes? Yeah, can’t. and white marble. Fake tile. Enough with the tile. And wood that peels. Get us a nice stone sink that runs right. Yeah. I like a stone sink. Yeah, like a big slab stone sink. Yeah. That's ideal. Do you think there should be more sinks that are separate from, like, all the cabinetry in a bathroom? Or do you think like. No, no, I don't like that. Okay, okay. I have freestanding sink now. Yeah. Just checking. Freestanding sink. Also ugly. So ugly. Yeah. Always ugly. Never, ever nice now. Except. Nope. Always ugly. Always ugly. Yeah, I had an idea, and then I really thought about it. There you go. Next topic. That was my topic. Your next topic? Is there not a more fun, silly vibe than packing your friends into a bathroom? Either a house party, a bar, a club, a rave. Anywhere. It's no, it's the best vibe. And then you get the. You get the best place in the party always. You get the mid party debrief and it is literally the best moment of the whole party. Then you get the people outside going, every three seconds you're like, hold on, hold on. And everyone's. There’s women in here! Everyone's just not even going to. Everyone's talking, just chat. Oh, it's so there are, there's people taking turns peeing and stuff. Whatever. No one cares. There's no better vibe. Bathroom full of people. Chatter is going on. That's where the real. Yap happens. that's where that's one of the most beautiful yaps. Yeah, I agree. I want one of that in my life. That's the reason this is a whole topic, because that's how important bathrooms are. You can't have bathroom yap. Without bathrooms. If you want to have community and have real friends, you need to go to the bathroom yap. yeah. If you're not going to the bathroom with your friends, I'm sorry. You don't have real friends. Yeah. You don't know. You need to go to the bathroom.
