All right, somebody needs to call NHS because there is an epidemic of people pooping their pants. And no, this is not because of cyclospora, whatever, the latest diarrhea from Romaine from Taco Bell is. No, these people who are pooping their pants, that we, that you have the, the luxury of hearing about today, they are doing it voluntarily at concerts, so that they don't miss a song. And I just have to say that celebrity idolization and concert culture has gotten out of hand. I do not want to be part of this at all, and I really think that the only way to fix this is by fixing the loneliness epidemic. Now, before we dive into this absolutely poopilish story. Thank you guys for being here. Make sure that you like this video of you and join it. And if you want to stay up to date on everything that we upload, make sure to ring that notification bell and subscribe to the channel. All right, so I 1st started tracking this very, very serious story because I am a journalist. I started tracking it a few weeks ago when I saw online that somebody pooped their pants at a Noacon concert. And my 1st thought was obviously freak. Like, I really honestly didn't think much of it because surely that was a crazy person. Surely that was a one off situation. I read the comments of those. I was like, man, alive, that is crazy. Thank goodness. We live in a society where we can laugh at that and move on and trust. We live in a high trust society. A high trust society where we know that if we go to a concert, we don't have to be nearby that behavior. But it was not a one off situation. I mean, just take it from pop star Olivia Rodrigo herself, who apparently is no stranger to smelling poo at her concerts. This is what she said. I have been to certain concerts in certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and that's been an experience as a performer that I've smelled and experienced. The interviewer's faces is literally me. And that is everybody online hearing that this is actually a commonplace situation. Did you hear what she just said? People wearing diapers so that they can be and poop their pants so that they can be front row, not lose their spot down on the floor, next to the barricades. They don't have to miss a song, a possible moment where they can touch their favorite performer. They're wearing diapers. But that was only one part of the interview. She went on and she said that that's been an experience as a performer that I have smelled. Like the Times Square ball drop on New Year's Eve. Everyone is wearing diapers, they sit there all day, I think about it kind of often. And this author, this is from an article in Pace magazine. He went on and he wrote, if Rodrigo can smell it all the way from her on stage perch, imagine how bad it is for the rest of the crowd. Now, this obviously went viral with people on TikTok saying things like, I'm not surprised, grossed out, but not surprised. Somebody else said that is absolutely disgusting, that is nursing home behavior. But apparently, guys, apparently it's not. And apparently none of us should be surprised. Maybe I'm just so naive. I'm thinking better of the people that we are living amongst in the world because this is an epidemic of adult pant pooper. So back to the once viral Noah Con story from a few weeks ago. He is now, because of this story, having to beg his fans not to poop their pants at his concerts after that incident blew up. Literally blew up in her pants. Sorry, had to. Anyway, so this is what allegedly happened at that concert, according to people that were there. So this was on Reddit. This guy said, okay, so the person who did this was one row in front of me in section AA. I guess I didn't want to miss a couple of songs to use the bathroom, so they just straight up shit themselves. Mind you, not liquid or anything in case anyone thinks that this was an accident, and started picking actual pieces of poop out of their butt, and put it on the floor. She then started trying to waffle stop the turds and acted like nothing happened, but we flagged down security. One of the most unreal concert experiences I've ever witnessed. Do I even want to ask what waffle stomping is? Is that something that I should know? I don't don't tell me. Don't comment. That is an order. I feel like it is something that is going to disgust me. Anyway, another 1sthand account of this, another girl who is in the same area. She posted a TikTok and she said this. A minute or 2 and then she stands up. She's kind of, like, looking around a little bit, like, you know? And then she reaches behind her, begins to shake out the shorts. Two shits fall out of her ass, onto the floor, right in front of me. And then she tries to kick them under the seat, in front of her. And it's smearing everywhere. It's all over her shoe. like every, the whole floor. And then she proceeds to continue to watch the concert. Then she got to leave, and everyone had to experience the shit smeared on the floor, and the smell, the smell was awful. I left early. I left that end of August because I was like, I cannot deal with smelling this shit anymore. Okay, so to answer the question of the paste article that was saying, imagine what it's like for the people that are there, imagine that. We don't actually have to imagine anymore because there are firsthand accounts of this horror. The smell was so bad because of the poop that was under the seat in front of her that she had to leave. I have no words. Like, I am completely flabbergasted and silenced. I am as silent as my silencer shop suppressor. And look, if you have not shots of press yet, then I need you to fix that right now, because I'm not exaggerating when I say that using a suppressor on my firearms completely changed the shooting experience, it made it easier to control. There was a less snappy recoil. honestly, it just made shooting, so much more enjoyable, and I think it'll be great, especially if you are new to shooting. Now, the process of getting a suppressor is super easy with my friends over at Siilter Shop. You do not need to figure anything out on your own. They walk you through everything. All you do is go online to their website. You pick out the suppressor that you want that fits your firearm, you create your profile, and you sign a digital form, and they help handle all of the heavy lifting. Plus, the $200 tax stamp cost from the government is gone, which means more money and more freedoms back in your pocket. But here is actually the part that matters the most. Your hearing. That is why you get a suppressor in the 1st place. One unsuppressed gunshot hits around 165 decibels louder than a jet engine, which can cause permanent damage with every single shot. And that is why Silencer Shot built a free hearing test for you guys. It only takes 2 minutes. And just for taking it, you are entered into win a $3000 gift card. Now, I also want you guys to know that souncer shop doesn't just carry suppressors. They also carry firearms, optics, accessories, your whole setup. They have got you covered all in one place. It is the only place we shop now for anything firearm related. So head on over to silencershop.com slash cooper for a better, more comfortable shooting experience. Again, that is sencershop.com slash Cooper. Now, while we are on the topic of a great experience, Fox one is just 1999 a month, and it includes all of your Fox favorites in one place. Yes, you will get the 247 news coverage, but you were also getting the biggest sporting events and hit TV shows like MasterChef, Farmer Wants a Wife, a Masked Singer and Hell's Kitchen, all streaming live in one place. And honestly, my guilty pleasure from her once-to-wife loan makes it worth it for me, but Fox one goes way beyond just that. Between breaking news, major sporting events like the FIFA World Cup. You and Freddie could be watching together. The kind of can't miss content that keeps you hooked. It gives you a reason to cut the cable permanently and just rely on them. And the best part is, there is a 3 day free trial so you can try it out, fall in love with it, and then move on and enjoy finally cutting the cable and having it. Just go to fox.com to start streaming anywhere, anytime on your favorite devices, offer subject to change, see fox one for complete terms and conditions. All right, now back to the story because I actually am not silent and I have a lot more to say about this. You might be thinking, Brett, this is insane. Are people just making this up, that there is like no way that this really happened. Well, guys, it is 2026. Everybody films everything. It's unfortunate, but also in moments like this, we can be grateful. There is video evidence. If you are squeamish about poop. You're not a mother like me who sees poop all day long, avert your eyes. What the fuck? Okay, so the thing that stands out to me about this clip is that this is not a girl who is sitting deep in some section, you know, not able to cross over people to get to the bathroom. Not that that would be an excuse. I am not excusing that behavior, but I'm putting myself inside the brain of a psychotic Noah Con fan who cannot miss a single song, looking around, is gonna have to climb over rows of people. She's in an aisle seat, next to a barricade. She could just, oh, turn around, walk to the nearest bathroom without crossing anybody's path. And even so, she decides the better idea is to sit down, shitter pants, and then pluck the poop out and put it on the floor, and then waffle stomp it, whatever the hell that means. So obviously, because this is so horrifying, it immediately went viral, and Noah, who is chronically online, he's probably one of the most chronically online musical performers and celebrities, he saw it quickly, and he tweeted and he said, if you have to poop at a show. Please, dear God, just go to the bathroom, LMAO, I pooped my pants as much as the next 27 year old, but you guys gotta understand there's a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that. And listen, he is not wrong. But he did take it a step further, and at his next concert after this incident took place, he did say this to his fans on stage. Okay. I solemnly swear. I will not shit my pants. I will not see my pants. And if I do... Yes, I do. I won't take it from my pants and put it on the floor. Okay, thanks. I have a minute, call. Hang on. Hello? The National Center for IBS Colitis and Diarrhea? It's actually one in four adults suffers from IBS. I'm so sorry. Shit all you fucking want. I mean, in the year of 2026 and Cyclospora, whatever we're dealing with, I would not be surprised if some organization pops up, saying justice for people with IBS and groans, whatever it is, they should be allowed to poop wherever they want. Anyway, back to the story. I'm sure that Noah thought that, you know, that would cover all of the bases, but I think he needed to be more specific because it isn't just poop. Apparently there was just something in the air and Noah Con concerts because another person pulled her pants down and peed at his next show. By the way, is it Noah Khan or Noah Kahan? I see people say it differently on TikTok all the time. So if you are super fan peeing and pooping at his concert, you can come at me and correct me. Anyway, a person on Reddit wrote about this incident and said, I was so impressed by the show overall, but I was so angry at a group of seat jumpers who took the spots, 2 rows in front of us. Everyone in our section 125 was pretty patient with their root obnoxious shenanigans until one of the girls literally pulled down her shorts and just peed. The poor people in front of them, got their stuff ruined when she was called out by the crowd. They hightailed it out of our section, but we could smell it the rest of the night. And then another woman, the people who were in front of them, confirmed this, and she said, can't confirm. I was sitting in front of them. My purse did not survive the encounter. It went straight into the trash because some feral asshole decided section 125 was a bathroom. Now, she screenshotted that interaction from Reddit. She reposted it on threads and she says the concert was 10 out of 10. The woman who turned section 125 into a restroom, 0 out of 10. My biohazard, urine soaked person, everything inside of it, skipped the ride home and went straight into a city field trash can. Sending $1000 on tickets wasn't supposed to end with replacing my belongings due to a feral creature turning a section into her personal toilet. I like, I genuinely have no words. How is this happening? So frequently, why is this the summer of peeing and pooping in public? Like, I genuinely was like, okay, it must be something with his shows, his fan, but then I open up X. And I see that this same weekend at a Morgan Wallen concert, a man allegedly peed in public in his seat on a nearby family. You can see here this is the New York Post headline, and here is what the victim, yes, the victim of this public offense, had to say. I literally feel something on my leg. My wife feels something on her leg. My niece is standing on the seats, you know, instead of sitting on them. And my wife says, whatever that gentleman's doing is all over my leg. At that point, I kind of see them, like, bend over out of the corner of my eye. So I turn to look. He has his genitalia hanging completely out, and he's urinating all over the back of my seat, my wife's leg, my niece. I mean, that is insane. Like, I'm hearing all of these stories, and I'm wondering, what is security doing? Like most of these people, like the poop girl, the urinating girl, the girls at the Noah concerts, they're getting up, they're leaving. This man? I don't know what happened, but security and the cops said that they couldn't do anything about it. Just watch the victim in question, filmed his interaction with them, and this is what they said. And there's nothing we can do about a guy physically pulling out his dick and pissing on me right now. Nothing we can do with that in front of an eight-year-old girl. Because I'm gonna push this all over the internet and everything. And it's not the best guy. It's the best Maryland's law. Listen, it doesn't make a difference to me. I just explained it to me. No, I get it. You're not, we cannot take him into... And I'm not blaming you. We're gonna give you his information, and you can be referred to the permission. And again, I'm not blaming you because you can only do what the law stating, right? But I'm going to make it known that I had a genuine whip his dick out, at a Morgan Wallen concert, piss on me, my brother, and my niece, and the Maryland State police can do nothing about it. Not a thing. And it's absolutely okay, and they're gonna say, do what you want to do if you want to press charges. Did he give you his information? Yep, I got his information. I mean, it's just insane. Like, I have a million thoughts about all of these stories, but the first thing that I'm thinking of is that it is truly insane. that Maryland law enforcement couldn't do anything about that one. I mean, like, a person literally defecated on him and his family, but it is even more egregious. Like, I can't believe I'm saying there's anything more egregious than public urination on another family that they couldn't do anything about a man being fully exposed. Having his genitalia out in front of a girl. I think he said she was 8 years old, and there being no consequences. Like, make it make sense, but also, then my brain goes to, of course, there are no consequences, because this is the same country, the same society that thinks it's okay for a man who one day just says that he's woman, totally fine for him to go into a locker room exposed himself in front of women and children, and then our society turns around and says, oh, you're the victim. If the women say I'm uncomfortable and call the behavior. Of course, law enforcement can't do anything about it, because that is just the upside down society that we live in. Now, the broader points moving on from that that I want to make about this literal shit storm, is that the idolization of celebrities has obviously gone too far. And I say that as somebody that talks about celebrities, talks about pop culture and society, almost on a daily basis for a living. And you might be wondering, okay, Brett, like I get that. That feels like a separate subject, but how does that idolization connect to public defecation public urination? Well, it does connect, because the common thread here is that apparently all of these offenders, including the concert goers in diapers are apparently so desperate to not miss a single moment, not miss a single song from their favorite performer, that they would rather revert to babyhood and poop their pants. That is a better idea than missing a moment of this concert. Like, I'm sorry, but there is not a single person alive. Right now, not even in history. There isn't a single person in the world that I would do that for. I mean, but obviously that's not even a possibility because girls don't poop. Obviously, that is my take on this and other people online seem to be connecting the same dots. And that same paste article that I've been referencing throughout this video about the Olivia Rodrigo story. The author said that the KISS FM host that Olivia was talking to, insisted that she must be pranking them with that story. And the author goes on and he says, I wish I could say that I reacted with that same shock. But earlier this month, the author writes, I attended Govball, and watched, to my immense displeasure, hordes of stray kids fans lay down blankets and set up camp at the main stage barricade, nearly 10 hours before. Nearly 10 hours before the K-pop group set was actually scheduled to start. And they stayed there, unmoved and unmoving through every intervening act, talking shit during radio free Alice, rolling their eyes during wet leg, seething during 2 Hollis. If you tried to step in front of them, even for 5 minutes to catch a glimpse of one of the acts that you actually came to the festival to see, the stays practically buried their teeth and growled. Never mind the fact that it was before their beloved boy so much as entered the festival grounds. It was so hot that day, too, nearly 95 degrees. Some of us drank water and sought out shade between acts, but not the stays, they would rather die than leave their post. And they almost did. I watched multiple fans faint from the heat in their own dehydration. They had to be carried out. I mean, like, give it to these fans. At least they weren't drinking water, probably because they didn't want to wear a diaper. So, I mean, heat stroke, peeing your pants, which are we choosing? Neither. neither because this is insanity. Anyway, the author goes on and he says, all of this just to say, 3 weeks ago, I might have been shocked and horrified by the revelation that Olivia Rodrigo fans soil themselves in order to maintain their barricade spots, but post-stray kids, I could only muster up a grim sense of resignation. I've seen a lot of this self-respect eschewing idol worship lately. Stays of guvball, yes, but also these absurd videos of Sofia Isella concerts where 14 year old girls shake and sob, like they are actively being exercised by the mere touch of the singer's hand. To be fair, this kind of celebrity devotion has existed for a long time. Look at how people reacted to the Beatles, Michael Jackson, you name it, but stars of that magnitude, capable of inspiring such fervent devotion, used to be few and far between. I'd never even heard of Sophia I. Zella before encountering her on my phone, but here she is singing to 100s and 100s of weeping, hyperventilating teens whose phones are raised in the air like a prayer. Again, so much to say about this. number one. Parents, if you are letting your teenagers get to a point that they are shaking over a musical artist at 14 years old, that's a problem. Like genuinely, you need to redirect that compass back to something that is more beneficial, that is less parasocial. If anybody reacts to me like that, please go touch grass. I log off, close the video. I do not care. That is not healthy for any of us. So what the author is broadly saying, is that this idolization culture has grown and it is, you know, diversified and spread out rather than people having mass psychosis over just Michael Jackson or Taylor Swift figure, if we're talking about 2026 people. Novacon. Sofia, Isella, who I think is some, like, really weird grunge girl who may be open for Taylor Swift at one point. I don't know. Olivia Rodrigo. I'm sure that there are so many others that, you know, maybe me or the average Joe might not have been exposed to, have not even heard of, but the people are having the same kind of reaction to. Like the mass psychosis and the idolization is well dispersed in 2026. And I'm not saying that you can't be a fan of somebody or be impacted by their art, their music, their personality, whatever it is, but this is not healthy. When you are crossing the line to pooping your pants, to wearing diapers, to literally fainting in public because you don't want to lose your spot at a concert. Like it shouldn't even be controversial to say that that is unhealthy. And these unhealthy behaviors are able to take hold because these niche subcultures, these fandoms online, they give people purpose and meaning and connection in a very disconnected, lonely, moralless world. Valueless world, where so many people are disconnected from their faith, from their family, from their communities. The village doesn't exist, and so they find the village, they find connection here, but not even by calling their phones by watching videos and listening to songs. And again, having that connection that they feel. It's very one-sided, but is so deep that drives them to do things that are this crazy. And these parasocial relationships with larger than life figures and their art can literally become a lifeline for some of these people and as intertwined in their being as a core personality traits. Again, I will say that is not normal. And it can truly end up being cult-like as they idolize these artists as almost Christ-like figures. And I'm going to be so honest, but this is literally what these people look like. Just watch. Every person will be broken off. Relinguish increasing your life so powerful. Okay, no offense. No offense. If that is what you're into, but these are people having, maybe you would call it physical revivals from touching Christian author, pastor, if you will, Catherine Craig, I don't want to attach labels here, but I do wonder, if these are the same type of people, maybe they're not Gen Z, maybe they are not online concert, goers, whatever it is, but I do wonder if these are the same type of people that it is the same core tenet and behavior that is driving people to wear diapers and crowds, whether this same community would wear a diaper in a crowd to try and be at the front of the lecture hall to touch hands with Catherine Craig, or maybe it's just the chronicly online depressed Gen Z ears. I dont know, but I will say when that video came across my timeline. I was like, I've kind of seen that before. It's the same behavior I see on TikTok with the people freaking out over musical artists. And the other thing that is just so wild to me. is that these fans go through all of the separate, the the diapers, the shaking out of the poop, the heat stroke in the 95 degree weather in the middle of the festival, refusing to give up their spot in front of the barricade, all of that effort to not even live in the moment. They go through all of that to be able to, what, film it vertically on their phones, hoping that you get some like shaky recording for your Instagram story. Deal with a post on TikTok and talk about it. I mean, it just makes no sense. Like, seriously, some people in our society just really need help. Again, touch grass, kick rocks, anything. log off, get a grip, stop peeing and pooping in public. And I also do want to be fair here because maybe that's not the reason for all of this. You know, some of these public defecators are not really super fans if they are just literally piss drunk and inconsiderate. Well, then that is also a problem. And if I was dictator, you would be in jail. Just say. But for the love of God, if you want to do that, which is so weird, but if you want to, just don't eat or drink for 24 hours if you don't want to have to go to the bathroom or better yet, just be a civilized human being and go to the restaurant. And unless you want your favorite celebrity or performer to hate you for the rest of your life, please, do not poop front row at their concert. And you know, the last thing I will say here is that there are 1000000s of babies around the world, just like my son who have no choice, but to wear a diaper, so please stop appropriating his culture
