World Cup Sh*t Show
from Johnny's on the Potty Pottycast · host Erin Sweeney
That sound of flushing? That's New York City's infrastructure going down the drain during the World Cup. The World Cup is coming to NYC, and the city that never sleeps is about to become the city that can't pee. While FIFA's busy counting their billions, New York's scrambling to figure out where millions of soccer fans are supposed to answer nature's call. Spoiler alert: there aren't enough public toilets, and Johnny's got some ideas that are equal parts brilliant and borderline criminal. This week, Johnny tackles the biggest crap crisis since Montezuma's Revenge, literally. We're talking bathroom shortages, entrepreneurial opportunities (rent out your toilet for $50 a flush, anyone?), and the kind of social commentary that only makes sense when you're sitting on the throne contemplating humanity's failures. But wait, there's more! The Absolution Solution returns with listener confessions that'll make you feel better about your own questionable life choices. Love, AI, dead butterflies, and guilt. We've got it all. It's part social commentary, part confession booth, all bathroom. In This Episode: The World Cup bathroom apocalypse: when millions need to go and nowhere to go NYC's public toilet deficit and why it's about to get really messy Johnny's satirical business plan: monetizing your home bathroom during the World Cup How to profit from portable toilets (legally... mostly) The Absolution Solution: Love and AI (yes, someone fell for a chatbot) Seeking Forgiveness: A Butterfly's Fate (RIP little guy, it was an accident) Why bathroom access is a human rights issue disguised as a punchline Listener stories about morality, guilt, and making peace with your mistakes "Johnny on the potty to the rescue" with solutions to NYC's porcelain problem Timely Flush: With the 2026 FIFA World Cup bringing an estimated 3.5 million visitors to NYC and the city currently offering approximately 1 public toilet per 8,000 residents, this episode couldn't be more relevant. The crisis is real, people. The solutions? Well, Johnny's got some ideas.
