In his latest Netflix venture, Pete Davidson opened up about his unusual aversion to urinals. The comedian, known for his candid style, discussed his urinal preference during an episode of The Pete Davidson Show, a video podcast that premiered in the United States on January 30. The show, filmed in Davidson’s garage, features conversations with various guests where no topic seems off limits.
The Pete Davidson Show provides a casual setting where the Saturday Night Live alum engages with friends and celebrities, making clear that even everyday habits can spark revealing dialogue. Davidson’s stance on public restrooms quickly became a focal point during a discussion with guest Machine Gun Kelly (MGK).
Why Davidson Avoids Urinals in Public Restrooms
Davidson openly expressed discomfort with urinals, explaining that he prefers the privacy of stalls. He highlighted his concern that people might stare at celebrities during such vulnerable moments.
“I exclusively p*** in the toilet where you could shut the door because I look over and some dude’s staring,”
he admitted. MGK added his own observation about awkward bathroom dynamics, saying,
“Especially when there’s 6 stalls, like, ‘Hey, bro. Why are you right next to me?’”
Davidson elaborated on his unease, emphasizing that he is not one to rush or feel comfortable urinating next to strangers.
“Also, I’m not not pee-shy. I don’t find it thrilling to p*** next to another guy that I don’t know. I’m not one of those dudes just whips it out and p*****. I’m there for a bit. Sometimes I have to flush it to get the water. Not one of those cool guys that just whip it out,”
he confessed.
Admiration for More Spontaneous Bathroom Habits
Though he shies away from urinals, Davidson expressed admiration for those who demonstrate more casual and primal bathroom behaviors. He joked about his envy of men who are comfortable urinating outdoors.

he said, acknowledging a sense of freedom and bravado he finds both impressive and instinctual.
Deeper Conversations on Mental Health During the Podcast
Aside from humorous anecdotes, the podcast also touches on more serious themes. Davidson and MGK, longtime friends, used the platform to discuss their shared experiences with mental health struggles. MGK reflected on their friendship’s supportive nature by noting the balance they provide each other during mood swings.
“I realized through our friendship … our bipolar has synced up because every time I’m having a manic episode, you’re good, and every time you’re having one, I’m good,”
he explained. He continued,
“Every time I call, you’re super mellow. And every time you call, I’m super mellow. So it just like goes back and forth.”
