Summary
- Evo, Sheila and Debbie are joined by Sunny Thaper and Douglas Welch for a serious conversation about ethnicity and being good with your hands. Laugh track provided by Dan Shaurette.
Choice Bits:
- Did you just call an Irishman ethnic? Fins would like it in Arizona
- Maybe she’s just lazy
- I’m brown; I can’t blush
- Two blocks from my house is Vivid Video
- You don’t know what goes on behind the walls of an igloo
- Gain some weight if you want to mess with me
Detailed Show Notes
- Oh let’s start off early, as I show massive cultural insensitivity. Hey, anything for a joke. Too bad it wasn’t a better joke. Hey, at least Douglas is whiter than me. Then Debbie puts us all in our place with “We’re all just folks.” I’m paraphrasing. And though it may be stereotypical, Indians make fine mechanical engineers. Hey, Sunny said it. He gets a pass.
Not to stop there, how about I make fun of the handicapped? No, it wasn’t my intention. I was really puzzled about people who have to re-use catheters and why there’s a commercial for the process. No, I’m not kidding!
I ask Sunny if the Indian porn market is as rampant as the western porn? Short answer: yeah. And he’s the largest consumer. Kidding. At least it’s been edited down to make it sound like I’m kidding. But here’s the truth: Sunny gets attacked at a drug store by a hobbit and breaks the guy’s skull open. Srsly. Do not fuck with Sunny.

Oh. My. God. You know it was crazy enough hearing the catheter story first hand. But you found the commercial on YouTube? Holy crap. Can’t. Stop. Laughing.
My favorite line is: “Then my mom called. She read about Liberator Medical Supply. Well, I was nervous about callin’ strangers, but these strangers, well they quickly became my friends.”

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a porno that started out with that same line.

I used to work for a urologist’s office so I am uniquely qualified to answer the catheter question.
Self-catheterization is generally used as a treatment for women to control overflow incontinence. Usually for older women whose bladder muscles have weakened with age, or pregnant women whose uteruses (uteri?) are putting pressure on the bladder, reducing bladder function. Many aren’t able to get to the bathroom to pee, especially at night. Or if they can, they’d be up many times over the evening, and get very poor quality sleep.
Even if you don’t get up to pee at night, and can “hold it,” this can still cause bladder infections, and some women are prone to chronic bladder or urinary tract infections.
But yeah, that women in the commercial, besides being a bad actress, is waaay to young to be using, let alone reusing, catheters.
