Former linebacker Channing Crowder has an interesting bathroom routine. Apparently, the former Miami Dolphins star prefers to strike up a conversation in the restroom with fellow bladder relievers. Appearing on the Mr. Jay Hill podcast, Crowder was asked about his peculiar behavior in the restroom. He was proud to admit that he is not shy when it comes to bathroom etiquette.

Explaining his position, Crowder said he talks to other people in the bathroom to measure their confidence:

“If you can have a conversation with me holding your [expletive], I’m holding my [expletive], and we can look each other in the eye and talk, that means you an alpha male, you a lion.”

Jay Hill, the host, seemed taken aback by Crowder’s assertions, and he questioned the sanity of his guest’s opinions. Regardless, Crowder stood by his comments and asserted that he is comfortable with himself. His self-confidence is such that he does not mind having a conversation with someone in the bathroom stall.
