When the POOP don't flush!
What happens here
With the glove on, the presenter reaches his hand directly into the toilet bowl, past the water line, and begins to physically break apart the solid material causing the clog. He uses his gloved hand to gently but firmly agitate and fragment the obstruction. He then initiates a flush while continuing to work the material, allowing the water flow to help dislodge and carry away the broken-down contents.
Goal: Break down and move the obstructing material through the toilet's trap.
