“‘But No. 1, you have to push your stomach and force urine. As if you couldn’t urinate. And when you feel you have to urinate, you must urinate or start dripping.'”
“Thank God for depends.”

“And it is a complete challenge, even sleep, like Mike, you don’t understand, like the sleeping man, so to start, you go under your bed of these mats because you are going to urinate on yourself,” Sanders said.
