Detailed information
Link: UroClub
The UroClub gives true meaning to the word "portapotty". Made to resemble a golf club in appearance, it is a hollow tube which has a cap which unscrews, to help a male golfer who can't find a restroom nearby to answer the call of nature. It comes with a "privacy shield", which Dick calls the "privacy apron". It's essentially a towel which clips on to the UroClub, and has 2 extra clips for hooking itself to your pants' loops or belt.It has the size of a 7 iron, and the capacity of over half a litre, twice the "common volume".
Todcast
A new name for TWiTLive - Todcast - for TWiT On Demand.
Tetraphobia
Evan Pedersen of Fancy Pants Gangsters has an explanation for tetraphobia (Episode 590). In Japanese, the word for 4 is "shi", which is similar in sound to the Japanese word for death. The Japanese will sometimes say "yan" for the number 4 instead. Similar situations in Chinese and Korean.
