Description

On this week’s episode, we debate public toilet seats—is it okay to plop right down on top of them? Or should you hover in fear of the cooties lurking on the rim? REAL SIMPLE editors Leslie Corona, Muzam Agha, and Amy Maclin dive into the toilet bowl discussion. Then Leslie chats with the main guest, comedian Michelle Buteau, about her new Netflix series and her hilarious perspective on public restrooms. Season 9 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, Sasha Velour, also shares her own (international!) hot take. At the end of the episode, William Schaffner, M.D., a professor of infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, will reveal whether you can give your knees a break and just sit down or if you should hover fearfully in perpetuity.
