Had night shifts recently and I hate em. It’s lonely and makes me more paranoid but I started listening to these and made me feel less lonely and more sane, so thank you very much guys for the company
The toilet lid is for blocking faecal plume, you should put it down before you flush. Otherwise you flood the entire room with little particulates that settle on everything.
#PodSquad #VODSquad Y'all had me cracking up watching y'all talk about Halloween's coming, toilet talk, and creating the perfect fighting game. Definitely helps while dealing with another day of cloudy skies and doing chores. I do agree with Rosie about the toilet lid & seat bit. When it's just you, you're comfortable in your settings. When you either have guests over or, you're a guest at someone else's place, putting the lid down does feel more good manners unless the host says otherwise. (And yeah, flushing with the lid down has been scientifically proven to be more healthy. I flush lid down unless it's a public toilet 'cause those aren't always uniform wherever you go.) As far as the perfect fighting game y'all built, I have a DLC idea, maybe a part II: "A guest visits the family well after the toilet war is over. The guest uses up the toilet roll and restocks it..., with the paper behind the roll. A new fight breaks out. Who will win? Which way is, The Way of The Paper?" Not only can you fight with the same characters from the first one, but also unlock beloved special characters voiced by stars we've lost - Arlene Sorkin, David McCallum, Lance Reddick, and Sir Michael Gambon (to name a few). Thank you all for the laughs and fun. Looking forward to the Halloween fun. Still subscribed.
Stand-up user here. Completely agree with Ash: close the lid every time. Caveat, if at someone else's house leave the lid/seat however it was before you entered.
Ash is correct for the toilet seat discussion. Even if you are a "stand-up-user" as they've called it, you should for sure use the toilet sitting down even for 'number 1'. Otherwise the invisible pee spray is gonna go everywhere and leave a mess. Always sit down to pee. I understand if you pee standing in a public toilet, but in your own four walls everyone should sit down to reduce nastiness. Plus, close the lid while flushing, as Ash said, again, to reduce spray.
Your cleanliness logic is sound, and one of the catches of peeing with a trouser snake is that sometimes the plumbing can get a bit erratic, even with the best of intentions, and yet... these are the risks men take for the sake of that glorious, arcing stream of a fountain, and to lose that purely for hygiene concerns would just make life that little bit duller; though always clean up after yourself, that's the number one bathroom etiquette rule!
#podsquad I'm so incredibly excited for FF7 Rebirth but in a totally different way to Remake! I was hugely excited for Remake which turned out to be the first Final Fantasy game I played to completion. I loved it so much that I had to go back and play through the original for the first time. So when the latest trailer for Rebirth dropped I understood all of the references and locations it showed whereas before Remake I only really knew who Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Sephiroth were. The new trailer got me so hyped i instantly bought the £300+ collector's edition pre order. That Sephiroth statue looks so good! Anyway just had to share my excitement with you all. Now all I'm waiting for is the reveal of my video game boyfriend... Cid 😍
Just some thoughts on the toilet discussion: if everybody leaves the seat down every time then 100% of the seat-moving work is on people who stand up to use. If you just leave the seat as is after use the seat-moving work is more equal (and maps onto the vegan catering analogy better, sorry Ash) #PodSquad
#podsquad Just wanted to let you guys know, I often listen to your podcast in the gym, and let me tell you, the amount of funny looks I get from fellow exercise freaks with all my grinning and stifled laughter at some of the things you guys come out with would be enough to fill a book, if looks could fill a book that is: a lookbook... Anyway, this week it was the brilliant image of the Greek pantheon getting into a massive scrap armed with bicycle pumps over whether the toilet seat should be left up or down! The debate between Ash and Dave on this most important of subjects was a fierce one, with fair points made on both sides, but in the end the winner was clear - Dave! That's right, we live in a democracy, and democracy demands that everyone is equal, including in the bathroom, and it should not be on the onus of one party (those that sometimes need the toilet seat up) to have to accommodate the needs of the other party (those that always need the toilet seat down) in every instance they use the toilet. Instead - just as Dave rightly described it - the seat can be adjusted depending on the needs of the toileter in any given instance of toileting, which is the fairer, more equal outcome for all, as the labour required to lift the toilet seat up or down is spread more evenly amongst the toileters. Therefore, let it be enshrined in the 'Loo Constitution' for all time so we can end this debate for good!
Just put both the seat and lid down, it looks nicer and now everyone has to interact with the toilet when they need to use it which ends the silly etiquette argument.
Here's the flaw in Ash's argument: dudes have to check the seat every time no matter what, why should women not have to? "I fell in because it was dark" is a skill issue, you'll never hear someone who leaves the seat up by default say that.
Rob and David. Can you please cover Crew Motorfest on PS5? It is the best arcade racing on PS5 and it uses dual sense just like GT7. Thank you for all the great shows.
I’ve had my ps5 for maybe 10 months and now both of my dual sense controllers have so much stick drift I can barely use them anymore! Am I the only person having this problem so soon into owning a ps5?
The only correct answer to the toilet debacle is that you put the seat and the lid down after every use, regardless of whether or not you did a quick pee or a cheeky poo.
I’m with Ash that the LID should always be closed after doing whatever business, that’s just hygienic. Therefore the seat debate is made irrelevant. However, if I went to a BBQ and they were only doing vegan food because of one person I would be swiftly outta there, meat eaters are allowed to eat meat, the vegan can have a portion of the BBQ to cook their food and the meat can go on the other side. THEN everybody wins
I came to praise Ash for her football knowledge, but was shocked and disappointed to learn that the movie specialist herself hasn't seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit?!
"So if you do it all vegan everybody wins" No. No Ashley, not everybody wins, if Im going to a bbq I expect a nice chunk of meat laying on the grill! 😮
I'm just here to help the algorithm. But also Ash is correct on keeping the lid down to flush, and I'm very uncomfortable that Dave and Rosie just let their poo germs roam free
Obviously none of them have a cat that enthusiastically jumps into the bathroom sink via the toilet without hesitation. If we don’t put the lid down every time we’ll have to clean toilet water off an angry long-haired cat and half the house.
I miss Rob. Oh, well had a lot of laugh with you guys. Also, when the platinum stream is coming up? Or Fall Guys stream? Really enjoy those as well. Cheers.
#PODSQUAD #VODSQUAD. In hounor of Ash, I am turning the whole month of October in Spooky Season. I will only play horror themed games on my PS5 ( PS4 back catalogue included ) and only watch horror movies and TV shows. Also I will buy loads of extra halloween candy to keep me going throughout. Let the bloodshed and carnage commence !!!!!🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻
There are no "leave the toilet seat up" people, just people who don't care if it's up or down and those trying to force others to put it down. Maybe stop trying to control how others use such trivial things as toilet seats. Always put the lid down though if there is a lid option to be sanitary, literally what it's made for. Why did this trigger me lol
#podsquad After years of being of the same opinion as Dave on the toilet seat question I had to change my tune when I realized flushing causes splash back and that, for the sake of keeping washrooms cleaner, close the lid before flushing. So Ash's conclusion is right, even though he reason is wrong.
Dave has reminded me that I really need to finish the Disney trilogy of Star Wars films by spoiling Rey's parentage for me. Yes, I managed to go this long without knowing the truth. I'm not that mad about it though, Disney has basically ruined Star Wars by diluting it, turning it into an MCU situation. The quality has gone very downhill in my opinion. I'd much rather see stuff from the High Republic, Old Republic brought to the screen, but for them to actually put in the time and not churn things out. Back when the galaxy was full of Jedi, Sith and Dark Jedi alike.
Having just vegan food at a barbecue because the minority are vegan is like having a metal gear solid party just because Rob is going to be at the FPS conference
If it where just about comfort or personal use I'd somewhat agree, but it has been proven it's actualy healthier for you and everyone around you to close the lid before flushing. So it's not so much about the seat being up or down as it is about the lid being down before you flush. It's there for a reason. Anyone with any sense of hygiene, empathy and or curtesy would therefore use it. If you want to make some sort of statement afterwards for whatever reason put the seat back up. I'll be annoyed but I wont start a fight over it. If I find out you flush with lid open in my house though, we'll fight. You'll lose bathroom acces to my bathroom. I have only 1 toilet in my home. So I cant send guests elsewhere. My toilet is in my bathroom, where my towels, brush and toothbrush are. I dont think it's to much to ask of people to not spread their pee and poo all over it when they visit me, regardles if the prefer sitting or standing while doing their buisness.
The Romans just stole all of the Greek gods and changed their names. Dave was talking about Mars, well that's just what the Romans call Ares. The Greeks have Zeus, the Romans call him Jupiter. It even trickles down to the demi-gods for example Heracles/Herakles for the Greeks and Hercules for the Romans, and when it came time to westernise/modernise, rather than using the original Greek names they decided to use the Roman versions. There are even some tv shows etc portraying Greece but then making the mistake of using Hercules and Zeus which is a mix of both.
Just move the lid to wherever you need it to be, not that hard. And vegan food does not even compare to a nice piece of meat. Ash was wrong twice there.
#PodSquad Thank you Access. Will be sharing the seat up or down portion of the pod with my wife. Ash’s every point getting ‘countered’ might have saved our marriage. #LeaveTheSeatUp
Stand up users can always sit down, and probably should. Keeps from peeing all over everything... DAVE. Also, Ash is right about the lid. Think about all those toilet germs getting on your toothbrushes!
Seat down, always. I dont need any poop bacteria flying around and landing on toothbrush, hand towels etc 🤢 Also with regard to the middle-of-the-night argument - sit down wee-ers dont have a choice but to sit down - stand-up wee-ers dont HAVE to stand up. Honestly why wouldnt you sit?!
Had night shifts recently and I hate em. It’s lonely and makes me more paranoid but I started listening to these and made me feel less lonely and more sane, so thank you very much guys for the company
You got this mate!
Workout

I've felt the paranoia. I used to work night shift at a mental health hospital.
Alright
please make this a weekly thing, i cant take two weeks without Playstation Access Podcast after every upload

I'm going to add faecal plume to the list of phrases I wish I'd never read 🤢
Dave's Halloween's coming had no right being that good 😂

Ash talking about the Newcastle team from a few years ago was hilarious 🤣
And calling Mike Ashley the manager 😂😅

I agree, just sit for both, it's tidier. Can't believe Dave doesn't lower his seat at least. Lol

Dave wielding logic as his ally in those arguments today. Great stuff!
Gordon Ramsey’s finisher would be calling someone an idiot sandwich and squashing their head between 2 slices of bread
Re: Toilet etiquette, Ash is right and Dave is wrong! Everyone has to sit eventually. It's polite and considerate to leave the seat down!
Just put both the seat and lid down, it looks nicer and now everyone has to interact with the toilet when they need to use it which ends the silly etiquette argument.
Here's the flaw in Ash's argument: dudes have to check the seat every time no matter what, why should women not have to?

hehe this episode was very amusing , the fighting game you came up with sounds 100% craziness lol
I wish PlayStation AllStars made a comeback in some capacity.
letting the seat up or down is good to start a fight but if you want to start a war you have to ask if you should wipe from the back or the front
I wholeheartedly agree with Ash for the toilet seat argument. It's always lid down before the flush.
Fantastic episode. Halloween monster voice. Fighting game ideas. And more fun stuff. love you all
I’ve had my ps5 for maybe 10 months and now both of my dual sense controllers have so much stick drift I can barely use them anymore! Am I the only person having this problem so soon into owning a ps5?
One Piece shout out!! And yes Luffy really is just a stretchy best boi.
Yeah, it’s called SIFU!!!! Good luck topping that fighting game! Double Dragon meets Mike Tyson’s knockout. 🤘🏼🍿🎯🔥
Mirkwood forest and Hobbitin are in South Africa where he went to school and started writing the books.
#PodSquad I yawned when Ash and Rosie yawned it is contagious!
Ash Millman, I only just started watching El Conde on Netflix, but surely this is your cup of tea?
The only correct answer to the toilet debacle is that you put the seat and the lid down after every use, regardless of whether or not you did a quick pee or a cheeky poo.

No. No Ashley, not everybody wins, if Im going to a bbq I expect a nice chunk of meat laying on the grill! 😮
If you do it all vegan, everybody loses 😂
Could have Inserted a clip of the playstation joysticks. Was the Sega bass fishing rod compatible with soul calibur?
Im with ash, entire lid down every time. Can’t accidentally drop anything in there if it’s closed.
Yeah, about the lid thing, ash is more right, lid always down, its a clean look,even if someone is going in to wash hands
Lid is always down your toothbrush is in there
These need to be longer!
Sorry Ash! But I'm with Dave on the Toilet Seat Topic. Great Topic btw😂
I'm just here to help the algorithm.

Ash: “If you do it all vegan then everyone wins!”
*Taking a deep breath with that one*
yep forcing everyone to eat differently to please a minority is definitely not a win/win 😂
Agree with Dave on the toilet seat but I would personally leave it down. I always leave the lid down anyway so I'm used to checking.

Right, but Ash admitted she doesn't even do the lid thing herself
I’m firmly with Ash on toiletgate. It has to be seat down, and always before you flush or it just shoots the poo particles into the air.
Lid down - shouldn't even be a discussion! 😂
When Ash said 'messed-up family' I also immediately thought of the Bakers. It doesn't get more messed-up than that.
37:00 honestly everyone just pee and poo sitting down. We don't live in the woods. #podsquad
