For fans of sports history, this might bring to mind the 1950 Philadelphia Phillies.

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy had an embarrassing hot mic moment during an X Spaces broadcast in front of over 100,000 users when it sounded as if he had been relieving himself in the bathroom after forgetting to hit the mute button on his phone.
Deemed “pissgate” by the internet, the moment occurred as X owner Elon Musk explained his decision to allow famed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back onto the platform after a lengthy ban. It was then that Vivek Ramaswamy uttered these prophetic words, “Gentlemen, I have to go.” And by “go,” he meant go…
As the conversation persisted, what sounded like someone urinating could be heard, though it is possible the sound could have been from hand-washing, considering no flush could be heard.
“Somebody’s got their phone in the bathroom,” Alex Jones said.
“That’s your phone, Vivek, I’m not able to mute you,” host Mario Nawfal responded.
After some brief laughs, Ramaswamy apologized before returning to the Spaces conversation.
“I hope you feel better,” Musk told Ramaswamy upon his return.
“I feel great,” Ramaswamy replied.
Needless to say, the moment prompted conspiracy theories and jokes of all kinds.
“Vivek is literally draining the swamp,” one user said.

McCarthy must buy that by the case!
Good one!
A husband, 3 sons, 8 grandsons. I know the sound when they are hitting the target and when they aren’t!
Offenders ought to be relegated to penal colonies
If Vivek’s biggest scandal is taking a whiz, I can’t find fault. We all do it, and he’s at least a step better than the current potato in office and pisses in a urinal instead of his pants.
He was just multitasking, but this is a real pisser.
“That was the ‘Ironbox’ Twins, Brenda and Shirley Weintraub, coming to you live from the ladies’ room at Tubby’s Drive-In.”

We’ve had lots of leakers before, nothing new here!
I have heard many times while in a public restroom someone go into a stall and make a phone call and then start urinating - and these were obviously professional / business calls and not personal calls. It’s extraordinary these people think those sounds, including he flushing of the commode, could not be heard by the person on the other line, or at least believe there isn’t something inappropriate about it.
Ha. We’ll be kicked out for corny jokes if we keep going.
In the last few years, I’ve heard more than a dozen examples of this in group calls.
It reminds me of the John Belushi character in the movie Animal House. He pissed on the feet of the pledges. Superimpose the faces of different candidates on the characters faces in the movie. Now that would be funny.
But if you think about it, it could have been worse. He could have been downloading something while on a live mic. Which has happened.
It is humorous but I find it more amusing how he’s able to PISS OFF THE ESTABLISHMENT with his effective and accurate attacks on their new Great Hope Nimarata Nikki Haley.
You might say he's got them, and half the neocons on this thread, all wee wee'd up.
Had a lady professor in college do this.
Everyone was giggling when she returned to the lecture hall.
