![]() It is always hard to say goodbye to a cohost, and this holds especially true for my talented, intelligent, and unfailingly kind friend, Robin. It would be extraordinarily difficult to imagine a more appropriate cohost for this show. Holly is a supervising forensic autopsy technician in the greater Kansas City Metro area who maintains a side hustle that is almost as interesting as her main gig. ![]() The new cohost of Where is the Line? is named Holly. To that point, we’ve never had a co-host whose daily occupation aligned so closely with the thematics of our show. Have you ever ripped apart a deceased infant with your own two hands? Have you ever stored a human brain next to the frozen broccoli in your refrigerator? Can you differentiate between the smell of common road kill and the pungent and unique odor of a decomposing human body? Have you ever removed maggots from human remains, covered them in acrylic paint, and then allowed those universally reviled larvae to crawl about a canvas unknowingly and unwittingly creating something that could be described as art.If you answered “no” to any of the preceding questions, you are not the newest cohost of Where is the Line? We’ve never devoted an episode to one of our own co-hosts. What happens when operations like these are performed without the benefit of sterile conditions? What might someone use in the place of a scalpel when stainless steel is contraband? And when pre-made silicon implants are unavailable, what items might suffice for implantation into ones most sensitive of areas? Find out on this episode of Where is the Line? Imagine now what happens when you take these same, to many people unsettling, procedures out of the safety and relatively regulated environment of a tattoo parlor, and instead perform them… in a jail cell. The point is that even when performed by a professional and in a safe and sterile environment, the notions of genital modification and genital mutilation still just give some people heebie-jeebies. We’ve talked about genital modification before on Where is the Line? In fact, our Shannon Larratt episode might rank near or at the top of our growing list of episodes that people have difficulty listening to in their entirety. It was this sentiment exactly that led to today’s episode. One of the most endearing things about our new forensic autopsy specialist cohost Holly, is that she will from time to time, without context or warning, say things like, “today at work I had pull a domino out of a dead man’s penis”. This bold sort of indigent inventiveness will play a large role in today’s story. In a previous episode, the one with writer and former inmate Ryan Martin, we learned of homemade masturbatory devices that prisoners make from latex gloves and tobacco canisters. There are few places where a person might find themselves more poorly resourced than in prison. ![]() In the absence of resources, ingenuity tends to thrive.
