Bowen Yang is always down to snap a photo with a fan — except in this unexpected scenario.
“The only time I’ve been, like, no to pictures is standing at 11 p.m. in the smelliest tent at Coachalla with the porta potties,” Yang, 35, said during his “Therapuss” podcast appearance on Thursday, June 11. “Someone on molly is like, ‘Can we take a picture?’ I’m like, ‘Not here. I’m so sorry.’”
He continued, “You just can’t do it next to s*** and piss.”
He and host Jake Shane discussed their “had to pee memories,” where they were having fun and had to go to the bathroom — but couldn’t.
“You’re standing there, you just have to pee, but it doesn’t matter because you’re just enjoying it,” Yang explained, noting that this happens to him a lot at Coachella.
“I always have to piss,” the comedian said. “This past Coachella, I felt like I had to walk across the entire grounds to pee.”
The conversation escalated when the two discussed nearly not making it.
“I have so many memories about almost s***ting my pants and the times I’ve s*** my pants, so clearly,” Yang said before he went on to detail “the worst part” about the entire ordeal.
“If you have to travel after the moment,” Yang continued. “Keep it in the groin so it doesn’t fall down a f***ing pant leg.”
Then, sharting was introduced into the conversation.
“We shart all the time,” Yang admitted. “Everyone sharts.”
The Saturday Night Live alum continued, “It just happens. … I have no qualms about talking about it.”
Yang told listeners to “shart always,” noting that it’s “always wet” when he does it.
“You don’t have a dry shart,” the comedian continued. “Wouldn’t it be crazy if you sharted in a full cylinder?”
Returning to the pee topic, Yang noted it’s “just awful” when you have to go to the bathroom so badly and simply cannot.
“I think that’s good,” Yang concluded. “That’s the human brain, that’s evolution treating that as a life-threatening situation, which it kind of is.”
Shane’s moment was similar to Yang’s as it also took place at a music festival.
“I was en route to Gov Ball and we were stuck in traffic,” Shane recalled. “You know when you have to pee so bad you actually think you are going to die? You think your bladder is going to explode and you’re going to actually physically die.”
