- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Tommy Edison, who’s been blind since birth, talks about the first time anyone asked him one of the most popular questions (and jokes) about blindness - “How do blind people know when to stop wiping in the bathroom?”
Tommy Edison appeared as ‘Blind Pete’ on The Howard Stern Show in 2004 with Howard Stern, Robin Quivers, Artie Lange, Gary Dell’Abate, and Aurora Snow.

Can we just pause for the moment and appreciate how actually awesome Tommy is.... it's good to have you back 😘🤣🤣
Howard stern did him dirty. Asked the question in the most abrupt, on the spot, mortifying way possible. Seems like he was trying to humiliate a blind person
I fucking hate Howard Stern
Howard stern is an ass
It was very weird for sure.
Yup, he's what's known as a "shock jock". He does it on purpose to get views. He's pretty scummy
I hate Howard Stern, you were a good sport with him.
Should've responded with "wipe? What'd you mean? You guys wipe?"
I guess the correct answer is you get the sensation you're smearing something around, so you wipe again. Just keep repeating. Now the other question is what do you do with a clogged toilet, you don't really see that it's clogged but you'll know shortly when it overflows.
You can hear if it flushes right or not
That sound at the end! I remembered the reason why you'd gone on the show, but I don't believe I'd ever heard the sound. Now I see why you loved it so much.
Make a poll where you ask ”how many of you take a look at your toiletpaper”
I look 🙈 I don't bring it to my face though, I don't need to smell it, but I often check it 🙈🙈 (if you're going to fold it, you sort of automatically look don't you?)
Hahah... I don't have to "put it close to my face". That's not how sight works, Tommy! :)
i always look because sometimes it takes many many many wipes before it comes back clean !!!
You can kind of feel the friction, i get what tommy was saying.
The people who ask that question are just being weird...and rude...WTF???
It's Howard Stern what do you expect?
I don't hold it close to see it. My middle range vision works well enough. Lol.
One thing I want to know is how you handle first aid? I have an active job where if I'm careless I occasionally get a bump or cut. Once I didn't even realize I was bleeding until I looked at my hand and saw blood on it. When you realize you're cut/bleeding, what do you do if there's no one around to tell you where it is or if you're covering it?
really like the combination of tommy's character and your editing style. very interesting stuff, huge fan of the channel for a while now! hope you two are doing well.
I wish everyday Tommy could see the beauty of the world at least once. :(
SofieEpic
And you get that idea while watching a video about people looking at shitty toilet paper
Lol
Kat yes 😍 lmao
I literally found this guy years when I googled "how does a blind guy know when to stop wiping"
You dont have to bring it close to your face to look, you just...look down and see if the paper is clean or not before dropping it in the toilet.
Holy shit!
I've been a subscriber of yours for years and I was listening to that Stern show in 2004 and never realized that was YOU! lol
I just did the same thing , but have only been watching a few months.
If there is poo on the toilet paper, but there is no one there to see it, does it still smell?
yes
That's a pretty stupid question in fairness Tommy.
why wipe though? water is better.
Sighted people don't NEED to look anymore after so long. You tend to know what it takes to get clean. Unless it's an exceptional circumstance. Taco night or something.
Well that's the same with us blind people
I can see I don't look. You can feel when its just dry paper directly hitting your butt
I don't look everytime, the feel method is what works for me. I also use a bidet.
The noice at the end bring some many memories of his old videos when I was back in hight school...oh boy Im a fan!!!!
When’s the new podcast out, been checking every day
The next live episode of the podcast will be on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 7pm (PT) here: ruclips.net/video/x0MBhopQhdw/видео.html
I dont just look.. I look, I smell it, move it around on the paper.. it's how you know when you are done.. it's the full experience
Who asks these questions to you? I am sighted and don't think I look.
I stop when the toilet paper doesn't taste of it anymore
I'm a sighted person
Looking good with the shades!
So great that you're making new content. I'm seriously glad I kept my subscription to you. Thanks for the vvideos man.
You lick the TP to feel if its dry or peanut-buttery
why
@@Xeller_real so you can tell if there's anything on the TP or not of course!
@@Xeller_real you're saying you don't do that? Weirdo..
I thought i was the only one. My favorite is when it's chunky instead of creamy.
@@koolaidman6251 huh, gotta try it
Tommy finding out sighted people look at their own shit hahaha gold.... but true.
That's such a weird question to ask someone but I love Tommy's prepared answer, it's funny.
I i once watched a video of you where u said, that you find it fascinating how (certain) seeing ppl can catch (cirtain) objects that are thrown at them, like a ball and you wished u were able to do that too. And just now I saw a video where blind ppl play "Beeper Ball". Its like baseball, but slower (naturally), it has a ball that is constantly beeping and all the contestants are blind. They were not only catching balls but also hitting it with the bat. you should check that out there are even a cpl of vids on YT.
i just gotta say howard stern and friends were being extremely rude and disrespectful to you and trying to make you into a joke and thats really extremely shitty of them. unfortunatley im not surprised as a blind person myself i know how often people ask really invasive questions and mostly just to be funny. its also sad how many people think its so necessary to look when wiping that they ask this question, its not necessary and its actually kinda gross to be looking at it too.
Howard Stern is an asshole to most of his guests. Since Tommy called him his hero, I assume he was okay with being roasted.
Of course we look to make sure we're getting it all. No one wants a surprise in their tidy whities.
Not everybody does, as we can see in the comments lmaoo
I'm very surprised, but at the same time I'm not. People are nasty and usually pretty dumb. I try to get girls into the shower beforehand. I encourage you girls to do the same with the guys you meet because you never know who's a non-checker 😂
@@MikeKayK 🤣
@@MikeKayK Looll you don't need to encourage us to shower after pooping 😂 We already have to do that to avoid infection, since the poop hole is so close to the vagy.
I don't know about men, though. I'm yet to meet a single man that washes up after going #2 ☹️
@@fabianatrindade56 I wasn't encouraging you to shower after pooping, I was encouraging you to ask guys to shower before having sex with them! I personally always wet the toiler paper when wiping and then, after I'm clean, I'll use a baby wipe. It makes me cringe that most people just wipe a few times with dry toilet paper and call it a day.
Gave the full episode a watch and you did fuckin fantastic man!!! Hilarious
I look, but generally don't need to. It is actually pretty easy to feel if I'm still wiping shit. I generally wipe once or twice after it's clean anyway. Wouldn't change if I were blind. I would just wipe until it felt clean and wipe 2 or 3 times extra just in case.
I look after every wipe. The only time I don't look is if the first wipe is so messy that I know it'll take at least a few more wipes.
Plus there are plenty of times when the paper doesn't slide easily but it's still not clean yet, so no way I wouldn't look.
Robert Schimmel was one of my fave comedy legends next to Rodney.
I miss both of em'.
I don't look but I do taste.
Well look I have no objection to that if it tastes good
Mister Belvidere I hope you brush your teeth afterward. 🤔
@@streamofawareness With the toilet brush 😃
I don't look. You can just tell by how easily the tp moves. And then you do one extra wipe.
This is the correct response
Why wouldn't you look? I bet you get severe swamp ass
@@icedink87 its weird and nasty
Tommy is fucking awesome
Around 2:00, when Tommy asks "Do you really look?" I've been wondering the same thing ever since I first heard him mention the wiping thing. I sure as hell don't look.
I look after almost every wipe.
I dont either. Gag
Yes I do check what's the situation.
Love you Tommy! Great to have you back!
To be honest I had no idea sighted people looked when cleaning their arse lol
Wait. What?
@@fabianatrindade56 it just never occurred to me
@@mattinfullvision9598 It also never occurred to me that it didn't occur to people 😱
They dont.
@@literallyh3093 I don't get why so many people insist on speaking for the rest of the world.
Am I the only none blind person who doesn’t look at his shit when wiping?
THANK YOU!!! I thought i was the only one. As you wipe you can literally feel if theres still some stuff there... I wipe until i feel nothing, and then do one more just in case. My GF is one of those that looks after each wipe and we argue about it cause i think thats disgusting
@@PabloYCarol You argue over poop with your gf? Whaaaat.
@@PabloYCarol Also, it's not like she's smelling or eating shit, she's just looking at it.
Unless...?
Nope, there are many nasty people who don't look. Fact is that there can still be dry shit on the toiler paper that you can't feel.
Mike you must not know how to wipe
Hey, you're back! I'm so glad you are ok and looking way more handsome.
Not like he cares lol
A lot of animals observe their poop. Its a great way to check your health
Sometimes there are those inexplicable poops where it seems no matter how much you wipe it's still brown. So using up a tree worth of toilet paper all the time is probably the best bet
Requinix17 make sure you really wipe with tenacity. Don't just stick the paper in there and take it out. Treat it like its anything else you are trying to clean properly
@@poiewhfopiewhf lol, well yes and no. It depends on what's going on with your gastro system, the consistency of your stool, and if you have hemorrhoids then scrubbing it hard isn't really an option. Regardless though, even when that isn't a factor, there are still times when it takes way too many wipes even when everything else seems normal. If you don't know what I'm talking about then count your blessings! :)
Requinix17 oh i know, that's why i prefer asian style, cleaning with water so i actually get clean
You're one of the most sympathic and inspiring personality, keep it up!
Do you have to look down at the shifter on your car? or do you just know what gear you're in.
That was a great metaphor!
🙄
Yes we look until the paper is clean
Its unfortunate
that not a lot of people watch your content
Your perspective on things as blind guy is eye-opening for us who can actually see
Heh eye-opening
Tommy, you *need* to get a Patreon, man. There is a reaction channel with 50,000 subs that's making $5,000 - $25,000 a month, I've never signed up for one but I'd be glad to kick you $5/mo. because this content is terrific.
The Internet is a weird place.
I’ve started closing my eyes when watching his videos to relate to him more.
The podcast is great too
How do blind people know when to stop wiping is a question I'm always confused by. Like how would we not know?
right! it's such an ignorant ass question - even as a sighted person.
TOMMMMMYYYYYY, WE MISSED YOU
Youre the best man!!
Have you ever experienced those high tech toilets they have in Japan? It washes your butt for you
My answer: Bidet... ever since I've started using one, all I have to do is dry off.
(I still look, though... old habits die hard)
2:00
Yes. Yes I do. I’m disgusting, I know
This is an interesting question! I always look, mostly because my meds screw with my bowel movements and sometimes it takes extra wiping to get clean. ... And I can't believe I'm saying that on the internet. Goodness.
@Deekshansh Pathak Wait wait wait... hands too!? With fingernail scraping?????
@Deekshansh Pathak No soap? 😳
@Deekshansh Pathak No, I meant if you wash it with water and soap or just water. Sorry if it seemed like I assumed that you don't wash your hands, I didn't 😅
Also, if you don't use tp, how do you dry the area?
@Deekshansh Pathak And an even better question: why am I so curious about this stuff 🤣
So many questions I asked there, sorry lolll
@Deekshansh Pathak Ohh it's weird everywhere, man. For instance I heard that in some countries, people throw used toilet paper in the toilet and flush it, right? But here in Brazil we throw all that tp in a garbage bin. We're used to it. But foreign people say that it's disgusting lol.
That’s a question I don’t think that should be answered by a blind person although the question that the guy asked in the 1980s that’s funny just the way he says it is funny
I look after every wipe, and when there's no skidmarks left, do a onceover just to be sure. Then again, I dry my frontside too after number one. Quess I just want to be clean. And wash hands everytime I leave bathroom.
That's great, Tommy! I'm on the toilet right now!
Watching this on a toilet makes this video very weird :-)
Yes, I look every time. I’m paranoid.
Back on RUclips?!
Of course!
How did you learn to do face expression???
that is an interesting question he has probably answered before.
Yoav Leibushor it’s intuitive. You never really learn it
Stern show use to be the best. So funny. Now I hate the guy. That little sound they played towards the end of this video that made Tommy laugh had me dying laughing. If you know, you know
Same here
I do a test wipe because I can kinda feel that it’s gross because it’s slippery and greasy feeling to wipe if it’s a mess back there, but looking at the paper tells me how bad it is. Then I get a clean wad of toilet paper and wipe until it’s not slippery or slimy anymore and the paper looks clean. It can take two or three wads of TP sometimes if it’s nasty. Then I flush and wash my hands because I care about sanitation and all that. Pooping is such an annoying thing to go through and if I could remove that bodily function from humanity I would gladly do so. I’m a lady btw lol.
Tommy you are the best.
That was a great appearance and interview on the Stern Show! I had no idea that was Tommy!
You should do a video series where people send you videos of objects from their everyday life that make weird noises and have Tommy guess what it is that's making the noise. If he guesses right they win a prize or something.
We look, don't put it close to our face though. I would imagine you could feel the difference... But uh, I chalked it up to blind people must just over compensate when wiping or use baby wipes? Lol idk im sure it varys from person to person
Tommy, try using baby wipes to finish the job. Just don't use too many cause you may inadvertently clog your toilet.
Those things (wipes) clog sewer lines and are a huge problem for water treatment. If your wipe doesn't come apart in cold water just like a square of toilet paper it doesn't go in the toilet.
You're definitely supposed to put baby wipes in the bin
In that case it's better to apply a few drops of water and a small amount of soap on the tp, then rinse with wet tp or the bidet. Imo, that way is even more hygienic than using just the bidet
As a sighted person I do not look
Why did they call him blind Pete?
DrAiNyOu71
Tommy didn’t want people who knew him from his day job (he worked on radio) to acknowledge it was him.
Tommy tells the full story about being on The Howard Stern Show here: ruclips.net/video/aDlK0vYfhDg/видео.html
I use baby wipes. Toilet paper is so gross. I'm shocked we use it in an educated and rich country. If I was blind, I'd use 3 baby wipes. 3 baby wipes has to be enough.
Baby wipes is equally gross. Bidet, soap, and a towel is the way
Agreed! I never even thought about it until I had a kid. Once you have a kid, and you see how bad toilet paper is cleaning their bottoms, you will never use toilet paper again.
@@DespicableBunnyYou’d rather shoot water up your ass than wipe it? If you get poop on your arm, do you just hose it off and go about your day?
THANK. YOU! I want to get a bidet so badly. Toilet paper is the most disgusting thing ever, and the fact that we still use it after all these years, is repulsive.
I've never understood this question. I'm sighted, but I've never even thought to look to see when I was finished!
I once asked a group of friends, and *80% of them said they need to look!*
Well I always look. I don't want to discover I missed a bit later that day and I'm not clean.
I miss when it felt like he was talking directly to us. But it's definitely nice you brought back a RUclips presence!
These are podcasts, that's why. But it's indeed great to have him back!
I hate being asked this question! My go to response is...lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of tp.
Followed by a few baby wipes for good measure. Even sighted people should do this, in my opinion.
Holy chit you're back!
Please stop being nasty to this man.
DumbleDora TheExplora That’s probably well-intentioned, but doesn’t that apply to all people? He’s not some fragile baby, this dude can take care of himself just fine.
@@A_A828 Obviously this applies to everyone. The implication is that public figures are also people. This comment has nothing to do with coddling anyone.
@@dumbledoratheexplora1140 Yeah fair enough. It's good to keep in mind we're all people indeed.
Please do more videos Tommy, I love watching you!
You're back!!!
I don’t look, no need
So.. how does he know?
Denis Lara he can feel if he’s wiping a dry bum
@@prof.evilpictures8696 Poop can be dry. And often is. You can't "feel" when you're clean vs. a little dirty, and neither can he.
Mike yeah.... the mystery continues
@@iamdenislara It's no mystery. Just like clean sighted people, clean blind people likely just wipe more than they have to and follow up with a baby wipe to be safe. And just like dirty sighted people, dirty blind people only wipe until they "think" they're clean.
Glad you are doing well and making new videos.
Tommy, you are the best!
Dude I look. I see no brown, then I wipe once or twice more just to be sure, and look again.
Until you see RED 🍑🩸
Very amazing video well done and keep up the great work and I love listening to your VIDEO'S as I am FULLY BLIND
Hi
Years ago someone told me that blind people just sniff their toilet paper after they wipe. Boy were they wrong lol
