How Toilets Work

Hailey, Fergus, and Brandon sit down with Raymond from Hoffmann Brothers University to learn how toilets work. Exploring a siphon from its simplest application all the way to a mini toilet.

After the toilets, the four head below the toilets to discuss what happens to the water after you flush— and how it got there in the first place.

Brandon is our educator for this episode, and sits down on adjacent toilets with Fergus and Hailey to share a bit about himself.

In the behind-the-scenes segment, Joylin, Harper, and Keath show some of the nonsense behind making an episode— and also flush a camera down a toilet.
