YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND IN THIS GARBAGE DISPOSAL!!

What happens here

Since the first test wasn't fully successful, repeat the process: disconnect the power again. Put on gloves and reach back into the disposal to pull out any additional small debris that may have been dislodged by the initial run. The presenter removes small pieces of what appears to be part of the original clog, including small pebbles and possibly a screw. After removing any additional debris, reconnect the power, run water into the sink, and turn on the disposal again. Continue this iterative process until the disposal runs smoothly and clears the water without issue.

Goal: If the disposal still sounds labored or struggles to drain, repeat the process of disconnecting power, manually removing any newly dislodged or remaining debris, and then re-testing.
