·39 min·2 clips

A secret-room toilet salesman says there are toilets for "big dumps" in the back at Home Depot.

1. World Record Podcast Episode 307 centers on Brendan Walsh's plan to call state Powerball outlets and chase a jackpot. 2. Brendan Walsh hosts, and Cornell joins him as the straight-man foil for the prank-call and politics bits. 3. The episode is built around a recurring question: whether a comedy show can double as a Powerball-number machine. 4. Brendan says the show will call a different Powerball state each episode, and he names Delaware as the call for this episode. 5. A long Home Depot prank call drives the middle of the episode, with Brendan asking about a "secret room" and "special toilets" for "big dumps." 6. One employee says he has worked in the toilet industry for 40 years and helped develop flushing systems during water-conservation changes. 7. Brendan and Cornell keep returning to the idea that the requested toilet is bigger than a standard model and does not flush the usual way. 8. The call becomes a running joke about whether a "big dumper" needs a special toilet, a taller bowl, or a different flush pattern. 9. Brendan also complains about live-streaming, saying he wants to do it for Powerball but cannot get the technology to work. 10. He says he hates computers and jokes that he was already a "caveman" about them in his 20s. 11. The political section turns on the line that "right wing, left wing doesn't make a difference, you need two wings to fly baby." 12. Brendan repeats that idea several times while joking that both sides need each other to get off the ground. 13. Cornell answers with his own wing joke about buffalo sauce, ranch, and left wings sounding "spineless." 14. Brendan and Cornell then move into mock campaign-style voices, making short pro-right-wing and pro-left-wing bits for the microphones. 15. Cornell brings up a school story about a kid who identified as a cat and a classroom litter box, which shifts the tone back toward absurdity. 16. Brendan later says he does not want to go to hell and uses the Golden Gate Bridge as part of a dark joke about disappearing from his problems. 17. The style is loose, conversational, and improvisational, with interruptions, call transfers, and repeated bits instead of a formal interview. 18. The energy stays jokey and rambling, with Brendan and Cornell bouncing from toilets to Powerball to politics without clean segment breaks. 19. Listeners who like prank calls, absurdist banter, and political comedy will get the most out of it. 20. Listeners wanting tight structure or a serious interview will probably skip it.
