I don't want to talk about this at all. Which I guess kind of makes the point. It's one more thing.
Katie
Armstrong and Getty.
Armstrong
One more thing and you're a man who's willing to go just about anywhere. Conversation like so not here. Be afraid. Not willing to go here. Okay, so before we get that in or get to that, I want to squeeze this in. At the very, very end of the radio show, we were talking about the wildlife bridge in California that was once estimated at $64 million to build, which is unimaginable, and it's already bloated to some $114 million, which is impossible. It's the Pacific cougar highway, and as Christopher Ruffo points out, the cougars, the mountain lions, if they take it, will be delivered practically directly into suburban backyards. And here's the picture of the lady who's behind it in a hard hat carrying a cougar stuffy around. Good Lord.
Getty
Jeez.
Armstrong
And as always, for the dry ist funniest commentary, I turn to the great Nellie Bowles, the activist chick is is Beth. Cougars will be pouring into backyards. Blah, blah, blah. I love California so much. I love Beth. Apologies to all the dogs who are about to be cougar food, but I love the bridge. The cougars will eat one female jogger, which will be blamed on suburban sprawl being too close to this, to his ancestral corridor. Anyway. It'll be shut down and eventually we'll just have a wildlife corridor to nowhere. Or the cougars, once integrated into society, will become civilized and start their own suburban straw, which we will then build a human life bridge over.
Katie
Brilliant.
Armstrong
Oh, Lord. Cal Unicornia.

Okay, here's the topic I don't want to talk about, and it's possible that I have issues around this. Maybe I do. Maybe I had poor potty training as a kid or it went wrong. Oh geez, who knows what.
Armstrong
Oh boy.
Getty
Because I I do not find any of this stuff funny, never have, and don't like to talk about it.
Armstrong
But so are there like punishments or anything untoward?
Getty
I just think it's a very private thing that you shouldn't. You should keep to yourself. And it's and I don't think it's funny or shareable. Anyway, it'll become obvious what we're talking about here. So I was on the phone with somebody and I don't remember and I don't know this person that well, but they, I was on the phone with them and they, I guess they had to pour some water out of something or something and they said, by the way, I'm pouring out my coffee. Or I forget what they said. I'm not peeing, in case you were wondering. I said oh good God, that'd be gross. And they said, gross? It's a bodily function. I said, I'm. They said I'm not doing it. But why is it gross? It's a bodily function. I said, well, I don't, you know, I don't think that's something that needs to be done on the phone. Or not. Maybe. Anyway, so then it got into the conversation eventually of I think they asked. They said, well like did you and your wife pee in front of each other? And I said a freaking course not. Which they react to with what do you mean a freaking course not everybody does. I said, everybody does. I said, seriously? I said, I've never known anybody who does. And then I thought, I guess I don't really know. I've just assumed that my whole life.
Armstrong
Right, well, you haven't asked because you find the idea abhorrent.
Getty
But I said, you know, every relationship I've had in my life, we never have not one relationship I've had in my life. Did we pee in front of each other? And it's not like I laid down the rules on the second date and said, here's one thing, there'll be no peeing. It just never happened.
Armstrong
It's not like the dog on the bed conversation or anything like that. Yeah.
Getty
So I, the longer this person was amazed, he said, yeah, me and all my friends. I. She said, I think this is the sign of a happy marriage that you're comfortable enough, you can pee in front of each other. And I said, maybe it is. I said, one of us is an outlier. I said, maybe I've been an outlier my whole life and I just didn't know it. And it's just a coincidence. I've only been in relationships like I've been in like 15, 20 relationships in my life. It's never happened.
Armstrong
But maybe if you peed in front of each other, the number wouldn't be so big.
Getty
I don't know. So I did a little research and the best I could come up with is, so I asked Claude, for instance, do most married people pee in front of each other?
Armstrong
And Claude was like, don't you have anything better to ask me? I have near infinite knowledge.
Getty
Don't you want to know about the
Armstrong
planets or the likelihood of parallel universes?
Getty
Claude said, yes, this is actually pretty common among long term couples. Research and surveys suggest that a majority of married or cohabitating couples do become, become comfortable with this over time. For instance, eventually someone needs to pee while the other is brushing their teeth and it just becomes no big deal. I don't want somebody peeing next to me while I'm brushing my teeth or vice versa. I just don't. So I don't know if there's something wrong with me or not. But the numbers are 60, 40, so it's not like it's 95, 5. I'm in the 40%, which is, you know, close enough to half and half that I don't feel bad about it. I just think it's interesting that I've only had that experience in my life.
Armstrong
Yeah, I've Actually had something like that conversation. I'm in the 40%, by the way. I may preserve some mystery guy.
Getty
I brought that up. Funny you said that. I brought up.
Armstrong
Not mystery exactly, but.
Getty
Well, that's the very term that was used on our show. Years ago. We did a marriage counselor panel, which was fascinating. We had a bunch of women in who are all marriage therapists, whatever you call them, and. And that came up.
Armstrong
Women these days, especially.
Getty
And one of them said, close the door. Don't be with the door. Preserve some mystery. And I thought, yeah, that makes sense to me. Of course, I'm in the 40% that thinks that's really weird. Not the 60% that does it all the time.
Armstrong
So, Katie, what percent?
Katie
I guess 40. I don't. I mean, if Drew. I mean, it was in the bathroom brushing his teeth, I wouldn't go, you know what? Now's a good time to go in there and pee while he's in there. I just. That seems weird to me.
Armstrong
Yeah. Yeah.
Katie
I don't know that I'm, like, repulsed by it, because I know that we've had conversation where he's peed with the door open. I've been like, hey, where's this? You know, but it's not like I'm going in there to talk to him while that's happening.
Armstrong
Yeah. And. And honestly, I think even without discussing it, you. You get a sense of whether that person wants privacy. Yeah. And you honor that.
Getty
Well, I like. Like I said at the beginning, I don't like talking about this stuff. I. And I don't know why, but I just. I just don't think it's a good conversation. I realize we all do it, but if I. If I'm going to talk about it, I don't understand why. If the logic is it's about being comfortable with each other, it's sign of a healthy relationship, then why can't. Then what stops it from being the next stop from number one to number two? Why wouldn't that be the same argument then?
Armstrong
Michael, what percentage? First of all?
Getty
40%. Yeah.
Armstrong
Yeah. In the 40%.
Getty
So how are we all in the 40%? I mean, I realize mathematically that's not
Armstrong
impossible, but maybe there's a personality type that finds its way into this line of work. I don't know. Hanson's wild guess. They have a trough.
Getty
The whole family pieced together in a trough at the same time, stand around
Katie
talking about the news.
Armstrong
To each their own, certainly. I. Gosh, how old was I? Glattus, early 20s. First job in radio, Judy and I got to know another young couple in town. I wish we'd stayed in touch. Wonderful folks. But at one point, we were having a couple of glasses of wine or something, and she was quite pregnant. She was not drinking the wine and. And they were joking about the fact that he was pooping. And she stood in the doorway of the bathroom, more or less naked and huge with child, and said, essentially, see anything you like, baby?
Getty
And it was.
Armstrong
It was funny and endearing, but my immediate reaction was, oh, wow, you do, like, while you're pooping, comedy for each other, you know?
Getty
And again, maybe I got something wrong with me, but I don't want that. I don't want that.
Armstrong
No.
Getty
I don't want that in my life. I don't think it's just me.
Katie
I don't think you do, because there are so many other ways to be comfortable in your relationship that don't involve going to the bathroom.
Armstrong
Yeah, yeah. Again, I don't judge. Whatever. But.
Getty
Well, the person I was on the phone with and I. Like I said I don't know them that well. That was a gassed. That anybody. That. Everybody doesn't do that.
Armstrong
And that clearly it was a sign of a bad relationship. Yeah.
Getty
You're not comfortable with each other.
Armstrong
Have that person call me. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Yeah, I don't.
Getty
It's a 6040 issue. I'm in the 40.
Katie
Yeah.
Getty
Yeah, me too.
Armstrong
I mean, you know, it's interesting. I'm. I'm more than willing to talk about, you know, health issues of that sort or what have you.
Getty
Well, of course. But that's a completely different thing. Right.
Armstrong
I'm not shy about pee pee and poo poo or anything like that. It just. No, it is a different thing.
Getty
Yeah. Preserve some mystery.
Armstrong
Well, yeah, and there's gonna be, like,
Getty
Johnny Depp where she's going right there in the bed. Right.
Armstrong
Oh, my God. Well, that was more a gesture than that was just relieving yourself.
Katie
And that was not the dog relationship.
Armstrong
Yeah, that was definitely not that. There's no way that little dog did that. Are you kidding me?
Getty
Hey, guys, this kind of relates to this. What about somebody speaking to you at a urinal when you're in the restroom? Oh, I don't want that. It's kind of the same thing.
Armstrong
Yeah.
Getty
I find that mildly uncomfortable compared to the person I'm in a relationship with walking in while I'm brushing my teeth, dropping their pants, and sitting on the toilet. I just think that's nuts. But just for me.
Armstrong
But you're good with with troughs in bars.
Getty
I am, yes.
Armstrong
Oh, I despise it.
Katie
I had that happen to me at the doctor's office the other day and
Getty
we're separated by the doctor's office.
Katie
No, I'm getting there. No, we don't. We're separated by stalls. But some woman walked into the bathroom at the same time as me and then went into her stall and as we were doing our thing, she goes, so when are you due?
Getty
Talking through the door. Yeah, I don't want that. Don't what?
Katie
This is not the to chitchat for
Getty
the men's stalls thing. Urinals. I think some people feel it's weird to be that close to each other and not and to ignore each other.
Katie
That's so.
Getty
That's the feeling some people have. Yeah.
Armstrong
And the co workers we had for a long time at the radio ranch who used to do that most consistently were like gregarious, likable guys. It was annoying. But my first radio boss.
Getty
Every single time. Oh no, water's cold deep too. Every time.
Armstrong
Hilarious.
Getty
Gladys said she's in the 60. Okay. She and her husband do it in front of each other, so.
Katie
Oh wow. Gladys is edgy.
Getty
They grew up in the Great Depression. Different era.
Armstrong
What's Gladys's husband's name? I'm thinking Bert.
Getty
Bert Burton.
Katie
Gladys Burton.
Getty
Gladys. What a couple.
Armstrong
Milton, Milt, Sully, something like that.
Getty
All good names. Well, I guess that's it.

this is Bethenny Frankel from Just Be with Bethenny Frankel. Let me be blunt. Most dog food is junk. It just is. And I'm not feeding junk to Biggie and Smalls. That is why they eat just food for dogs. It's real, 100% human grade food with ingredients I actually recognize, not mystery pellets pretending to be healthy. And once I switched, the difference was obvious. Better digestion, better skin, more energy. Dogs who actually feel good instead of just surviving dinner. Here's the thing. You care about quality. You make an intentional choice to be healthy. So why are you gambling with your dog's health? So let's think about our furry babies.

Episode: I Don't Wanna Talk About This At All...
Date: March 24, 2026
Host: iHeartPodcasts (Armstrong, Getty, Katie)
This episode of Armstrong & Getty delivers a candid, often humorous, discussion on personal boundaries in relationships—specifically, the comfort level couples have with bathroom activities around their partners. Prompted by an awkward phone conversation, the hosts grapple with their own feelings on bathroom privacy, referencing both personal experience and societal norms. The episode also briefly touches on a quirky California infrastructure project before diving deep into the main, uncomfortable topic.
The conversation blends awkwardness, candor, and humor. The hosts maintain a self-deprecating, lightly irreverent tone as they reveal their discomfort and curiosity about societal norms, often using sarcasm and gentle ribbing.
In “I Don’t Wanna Talk About This At All...,” Armstrong, Getty, and Katie dissect the uncomfortable topic of bathroom privacy in relationships, highlighting the cultural and personal judgments that surround it. According to research they cite, most couples (about 60%) are comfortable with a level of openness, while Armstrong & Getty and their circle fall into the 40% who prefer privacy—challenging the idea that comfort in this context is a universal relationship virtue. The episode is peppered with memorable quotes, sharp humor, and a sense of reluctant vulnerability, making for a revealing and entertaining discussion about boundaries, intimacy, and human nature.
