Topic: Bidet

The hosts acknowledge high-tier donors and "Associate Executive Producers" for the episode. Notable contributions include a $3,333.33 "Rub-a-Lyzer" donation from Horton and support from small businesses like Little John's Candies and Gigawatt Coffee Roasters. Listener notes discuss topics ranging from bidet recommendations to moving away from Denver due to local politics.

The "Tip of the Day" focused on the benefits of electronic bidet toilet seats, specifically the Toto Washlet and the more affordable Washlet C5. The hosts compared prices between Amazon, Walmart, and AliExpress, noting that the Chinese versions might soon be subject to high tariffs. They emphasized the "sleek and modern" look of these devices compared to older geriatric models.

The artwork for episode 1679, titled "No Jet No Deal," is discussed, featuring a "Welcome to Baphomet, Delaware" sign—a play on Biden's vacation spot, Rehoboth Beach. The hosts review various submissions, including a "Mr. Glitch" piece by Nessworks. They also address listener comments regarding why they didn't discuss Biden's withdrawal earlier in the previous show.

Kohler debuted a $7,000 Alexa-enabled smart toilet at CES that allows users to control lighting, music, and news via voice commands. The device is compared to Japanese toilets, which are noted for superior heating and spray features. The product is characterized as an "entertainment seat" rather than a practical innovation.

During the Chinese New Year travel period, Chinese tourists are reportedly flocking to Japan to purchase high-end bidet toilet seats. Despite these products being available in China, consumers believe the Japanese-stocked versions are of superior quality. The hosts discuss the irony of Chinese consumers seeking quality goods outside their own manufacturing-heavy borders.
