00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: have a little conspiracy for us? She got herpes out.

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: That's our rough conspiracy. But there's only one way to

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: find out. Spill that tea. So Lumpy Initiative six eight

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: four says me, nineteen and my partner twenty have been

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: in love for the past three months. One of my

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: love languages is physical touch, so I'm a very physically

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: affectionate person. Me and my boyfriend have had problems before,

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: where I found he cheated on me over text a

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. No, not a great start. Yeah,

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: that sounds like a problem. Red flag Red flag flag

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: might be worth ending of the relationship. Who knows? It

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: could be? It could be he lied about how intimate

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: his relationship with his ex friend was, who he still

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: follows on social media. All of this happened yesterday and

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: other stuff like that. When we're talking through some of

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: the problems that happened yesterday. Kissing was brought up. Before

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: I get into it, here's some background. I am my

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: partner's second in person girlfriend, and his first was his

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: first kiss. So I guess maybe maybe there's some like

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: online relationships or like long distance, but as far as

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: like in person relationships, this is the second. I mean

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: recounting the cheating that was happening on me that maybe

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: at first I had to initiate all the kissing. Anytime

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: he would initiate a kiss, it would be a one

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: second pack and it wouldn't be often when he did that,

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: sus not the red flag. For my birthday, I asked

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: if we could make out, and we did. My birthday.

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh so sad. It's so sad. Oh lot of birth

35
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: leave already got. Can you kiss me with passion? Oh

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: my god? Can you pretend to mean it? Oh my god?

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: We did make out, but then he pulled away. Not

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: even on her birthday? Will he do it? Bro come on,

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: good gravy, sell it at least a little bit, just

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: for her birthday. For one day. It's one day, one day,

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: one makeout session. I asked him if there was something

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: wrong and he just brushed it off as he's bad

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: at it and inexperienced and feels embarrassed. I don't know

44
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: by it. Op, he says, keep that in mind. I

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: took a step back and more recently have worked up

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: two more back to back pecking and longer kisses. Oh

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: oh oh uh nineteen and twenty oh. So I can

48
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: kind of see the young naivete play that, like just

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: not picking it like young and infatuated puppy love. There's that.

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: There's the age old saying, if you're confused, if he's

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: into you, then he's probably not into you. Probably not.

52
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: It's like if he's into you, you'll know if he's not,

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: you'll be confused. Yes. There, you go back to when

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: we were talking about when kissing was brought up. He

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: restarted why he didn't like doing it, and we have

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: a list of four. Oh my god, that's what you

57
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: want to hear after every makeout, sash. These are the

58
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: reasons I will never do this again. Top four reasons

59
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: why I hate kissing you. Number one ew, he's inexperienced. Two,

60
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: he's embarrassed about it. Three was something I don't remember currently,

61
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: but number four was his ex was his first kiss

62
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: and they used to make out, so when he thinks

63
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: of kissing me in an intimate way, it just reminds

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: him of his ex and he doesn't think it will

65
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: change who man. It is not over his ex. Red flag,

66
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: red flog, read flog red flag break up with him? Please,

67
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: God damn stop, Please stop getting us all these red

68
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: flags and only rape this thing. Somebody is gonna break.

69
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: When I heard that, I felt gross because I enjoyed

70
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: our kiss and it reminded him of his ex. I mean,

71
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: maybe his ex is a battie. Maybe you should be

72
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: glad to be in such company. Babe, You're my ex

73
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: was so hot, like you're kind of like hot like

74
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: she is, Like you're in the same right now. The

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: fact that I'm thinking about her when I'm with you

76
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: is a compliment. It bumped you up from like a

77
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: four to like a solid seven, like she's a ten,

78
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: but you know she jumped up the three points. Wow, babe,

79
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm so generous, Babe, Babe, Babe. Also idea, just random idea, Yeah, babe,

80
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: could you take this bag that I printed my ex's

81
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: face on? And then it is like it is like

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: if we ever want to make out, just make sure

83
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: to bring the back could you? Could you? Let's just

84
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: play this fun game where I just call you my

85
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: ex's name. It's just really kissing you. Can he take

86
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: some like voice acting lessons and recordings of my eggs

87
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: that I think you should work on. Oh god, now

88
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: I'm already weird about being touched by people. So when

89
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: the one person I want to touch and kiss me

90
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: to say that kissing me reminds him of his ex,

91
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: which she hurt him, by the way, really just did

92
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: something to me emotionally to where I feel sick and

93
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to kiss him anymore. Thank god, fucking

94
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: drop his ass. I still love him and want to

95
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: have a relationship. No, okay, we were like one step forward,

96
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I can get over it.

97
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: We have a conundrum in here, ladies and gentlemen. We

98
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: don't no, no, no, no, there is no I know

99
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: what you're saying, get over it. I got by them.

100
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: The conundrum is, and we we went. We might just

101
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: need some reinforcements from everyone watching, so please put in

102
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: the comments. I don't know, how do you like break

103
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: through to someone when they're just like not seeing it like, Op,

104
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: that is a good question. You just break up to

105
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: freak up, wake up, smell the roses, look at the

106
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: red flags. You're just right in front of your freaking eyeball.

107
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: You just bunk them with the red flag until they

108
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: finally get that's a good question. How do you make that?

109
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't know. She's still in love

110
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: with them, Like she's still in love with them even

111
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: does OP know? Maybe she just needs someone else to see, like, hey,

112
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: she's in love with his ex, yeah, and he has

113
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: to get past her before he can date you. I think,

114
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: like a lot a lot of times, I think maybe

115
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: that's all it needs to be said, because a lot

116
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: of times people are in the reality distortion feels where

117
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: you're in the relationship, and then they put it all

118
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: and read it and like, oh maybe this, like maybe

119
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 1: I should get out of this relationship. And then people

120
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: start commenting and be like, hey, you should get out

121
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: of this relationship, And then some people on TikTok and

122
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: YouTube are like, hey, you should definitely get out of

123
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: this relationship, and maybe that's what you need to finally

124
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: get out of that reality distortion field and break up forever.

125
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: So hopefully this is the kick in the butt that

126
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: you need to get out of this loveless relationship. Yep,

127
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: I think you're totally right. And then also I think

128
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: this is very much could easily be one of those

129
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: cases where it's like this relationship just has to absolutely

130
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: crash and burn and blow up to smithereens into a

131
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: million tiny little pieces. So yeah, maybe the you know,

132
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: the ship is like, oh, it's like super shaky, but

133
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: it hasn't like a crash. I think I think she

134
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: needs to crash it and there'll be no survivors. And

135
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: then as she's escaping from the wreckage and the fire

136
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: and the flames, maybe she'll realize like, oh, like maybe

137
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: I can't drive that plane anymore. Yeah, maybe that's not

138
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: the movie, that's not the move. But I would love

139
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: to know what you guys think, like, do you think

140
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Opie should leave the relationship? I would also love to

141
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: know about, like any kind of relationships that you've experience

142
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: or that you've seen that have been similar where people

143
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: are like are just very unaligned in the love factor,

144
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: like to like people like like they're mismatches in terms

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: of interest, I imagine are very common. So give us

150

Speaker 1: cane because she thinks I'm lying about being blind. Then

151
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: the unthinkable happened. I had no idea A blind cane

152
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: is called a blind cane, it seems. It seems that's

153
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: how he directly refers to it. I did not. I

154
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: have no idea. What about like a seeing stick that's

155
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: seeing sticking, has the alliteration built in. That's a good one,

156
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: or like a blind baton. These are great names. I'm

157
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: not gonna lie tho. Those are pretty incredible names. Conical

158
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: caine because on cones in your eyes? Are those? Wait? Canonical?

159
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: Is that like a thing in the eye. So there's

160
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: a cone, there's rods and cones, your guys, and like

161
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: one sees color and one sees black and white, ones

162
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: like night vision, ones her day vision, and so like cones,

163
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: canonical cane. So a bit of backstory. I am a

164
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight year old woman who recently went fully blind.

165
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: That's fully blind. That's tough, dude. That's nikes. When I

166
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: was a teenager, I volunteered with my local youth group

167
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: to rebuild Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. And while down there,

168
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: I picked up a fungal parasite called a histoplasmosis that

169
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: over a decade, migrated to my eyes and slowly caused blindness.

170
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: That is so like she literally was doing this like

171
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: incredible service to humanity and that's how's the world's like,

172
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: let me take your eyes. There's the ladies and gentlemen.

173
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: So sometimes things just happened like this is proof right here.

174
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: So rough, God, Hey, at least she can still write

175
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Reddit post though she delivered a banger. Yeah, I took

176
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: her eyes, but not her hands. She could still tell this. Now.

177
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I've been totally blind for about a year, so I'm

178
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: pretty new to it. But I digress. Well, yeah, I

179
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: feel like, honestly, like a disease, just like coming out

180
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: of the blue like that, like you'd be totally blindsided here.

181
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking there was serious discourse gonna happen. When

182
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: I first went blind, I barely left the house and

183
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: was afraid to go out in public. I felt like

184
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: everyone was staring at me, and in all honesty, I

185
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: barely knew what I was doing. The transition had been difficult,

186
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't have any support group to teach me.

187
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's awful. I feel like in that situation, just

188
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: imagine everyone's naked. What if you can't see them? Well

189
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: she did, I mean, so she had sight, so I

190
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: guess she potentially could. She knows what it naked, you know. Yeah,

191
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: that's true, that's true. I'm very curious if any of

192
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: y'all listening either have had this happen to you or

193
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: like know somebody that that has happened to, like what

194
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: their transition. Bet I bet we have like like a

195
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: non zero amount of blind podcast listeners. Oh, because certainly

196
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: at least somebody out there for Yeah, yeah, I said,

197
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: it's comment. We've been reading people's comments recently. If you

198
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: if you're blind, we want to hear your stories, we do. Yeah,

199
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: that is true. We actually had we had a sexual

200
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: story recently and we had about people commenting about that.

201
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: Tell us we'll read it. We'll read it out, so

202
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: let us know what's up with you in a good way?

203
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: What's up with you? Yeah? Anywhoy? So one day my

204
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: husband asks if I can take an uber down to

205
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: the bank and deposit a rent check, and I reluctantly agree,

206
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: I can I can see why. Yeah, it's like, yo,

207
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: you have eyes. While out, he messaged me again and

208
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: reminds me that we're out of a few crucial groceries.

209
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Although and I won't believe it, but I can see

210
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: kind of like you get to that point where it's like, hey,

211
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: could you just pick this up? You know what I mean,

212
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: if you live with a person long enough. Also, like

213
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: there is a world and where where like this husband

214
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: is actually doing her a favor where it's like, yo,

215
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: you got to get it back out into the world,

216
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and you know you can't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't

217
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: have like use of your eyes anymore, but like your

218
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: life isn't over and you can still navigate. This is true,

219
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: And maybe these are like little tests of like hey,

220
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: like you can still go and like pick up a check,

221
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Like you can still go get groceries, like you're still independent.

222
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a lazy piece of shit. Imagine he he

223
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: just has he slowly has her to do all his

224
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: chores just because he's lazy. Yeah, that's what I choose

225
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: to imagine. He's like like the apartments of pigstys, just

226
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: like throwing shit over like she did it. There was

227
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: a Walmart grocery literally across the street from the bank,

228
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: so I figure everything in life is an experience and

229
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: I'll have to learn how to shop alone eventually. That's true.

230
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, that's true. Everything was fine at first,

231
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: and I was only grabbing a few things, so I

232
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: didn't really need a cart. I was using my cane

233
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: and what little echo location skills I had at the

234
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: time to get around. Go, she's echo locating. I mean, yo,

235
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: that is that is super dope. So I'm seeing like

236
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: different kinds of echo location on like YouTube videos. Right,

237
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: So there's there's like the normal way where it's like

238
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: people like right and like they can hear it. But

239
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: then there's the other warriors. Go, I mean that seems

240
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot easier. It is it is locating around you

241
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: just hear something that sucks because I I imagine the

242
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: more sound the easier it is to Yeah, it's like

243
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: bits of echocating. Yeah, it's because like we got again,

244
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: the more sound it is, I would have to imagine

245
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: I would if that would be I would be fucking

246
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: around with it. Yeah, I would just be yelling in

247
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: supermarkets or like yet like like someone like gets in

248
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: front of me, wrong, I'm yelling at them. I'd be like,

249
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: oh sorry, echo location. Yeah you know, I'm abusing the

250
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: ship out of that power. Love it. But I was

251
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: still bumping around into all the things as us blind

252
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: people tend to do. Sometimes. Hey, ho, unerstandable. It happens

253
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: brouh uh. My cane suddenly hit something a bit softer.

254
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. My cane suddenly hit something a bit softer,

255
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: and I figured maybe I had whacked someone's leg. And

256
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: I apologize now ters entitled kid and Karen, Oh god,

257
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: here we go. Karen, are you really gonna pick on

258
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: the blind person? Please don't just wait, just wait me. Shoot,

259
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Karen, Hey, you'll hit my precious on yo,

260
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: Karen's really about to go after a blind person. Actually,

261
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: this is actually happening. And and op he is apologetic,

262
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: like you could see the cane. You could hear the apology,

263
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: like like this person is blind, yes me, I'm so sorry, ma'am.

264
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: I didn't see you there. Karen starts yelling, how could

265
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: you not see him? He's right there? Karen, please please

266
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: tell the op says like, hey, I'm blind, so uh

267
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: now I'm fully blind here, but I don't wear sunglasses,

268
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: mostly because I can't afford a good UV blocking pair,

269
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: but also because I'm not looking for pity or to

270
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: play the part of a generic blind person. I just

271
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: want to be treated like normal person. So I do

272
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: understand her confusion, as blindness is the spectrum, so I

273
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: try to calmly explain brouh OPI has so much patience

274
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: right now, Yes, so much patient low key. I feel

275
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: like like with her condition, she's had to build a

276
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of patience with herself too, and like yeah, well

277
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: like patients, like with herself, like adapting to this new situation.

278
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: Stupid comments like just navigating the world in this new

279
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: way like that that that builds your patients. That's yeah, yeah,

280
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: I can. I can imagine me, ma'am, ma'am. I'm blind.

281
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: I can't see anything, let alone your son. That's why

282
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: I use the cane so I can get around without

283
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: She cuts me off. If you're blind, and why aren't

284
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: you wearing the big sunglasses? Oh my god. I love

285
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: how Karen has like a caricature of what a blind

286
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: person looks like. It's like where's your dog? She just

287
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: just like pulls out a list and says, going down

288
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: all the things. Now, as a blind person, I get

289
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: ask lots of stupid questions, but I understand a lot

290
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: of them are just people who don't know better, So

291
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: I try to happily answer as many as I can me.

292
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: Those are actually really expensive, around two hundred dollars a pair,

293
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: and I don't really need any inside Karen, you're not blind.

294
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: You're faking that quick catch, bro? You got me? Oh

295
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm pretending to be blind? Like what does

296
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: that like? Also? What does that accomplish? Like? What incentive? Yeah?

297
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: Where is the invent children? I guess so I can

298
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: plitely tap children on the on the shin Yeah, like

299
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: with it's so apologetic too, I don't get it. Here

300
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: is where my blood starts to boil. I can't think

301
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: of any reasons so much before the blood isn't boiling.

302
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: Now blood boils. Game time, baby, I can't think of

303
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: any reason someone would want to pretend to be blind.

304
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: It is actual hell, And nothing pisses me off more

305
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: than when someone calls me a liar when I'm not

306
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: totally fair, valid, com valid, valid, just as I'm about

307
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: to respond, I feel a tug, and before I blink,

308
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: I realize this little demon spawn has snatched my hundred

309
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: dollars cane right from my hands. No, one hundred bucks,

310
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: damn God. For those of you who don't understand, that's

311
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: like if you're shopping and suddenly the power goes out

312
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: and you literally can't see a single light without my cane.

313
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: I can barely move it all without crashing into anything. Frick.

314
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: My voice gets shaky as I start to painic. Please

315
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: give it back. I really do need it. Karen. No,

316
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: you're a liar, and my son deserves to play with

317
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: this more than you deserved. You're joking. Can you imagine? Wow?

318
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Can you imagine one like watching this and being like, Hey,

319
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? So bro, this is

320
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: like a Walmart or something? Yeah, where's anybody? Bro? You

321
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: literally see a child snatch a blind woman's cane, and

322
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: she's like clearly caught, like in distress. God, she's the world. Man.

323
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: I hear her shuffle away and my expensive cane cracking

324
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: into metal displays and such. As they leave, I start

325
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: crying and waving my arms in front of me to

326
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: grab onto something, anything, ended up crashing and falling into

327
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: the center aisle display, making a very loud scene. Oh oh,

328
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: this poor woman without fail, I somewhat curl into a

329
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: ball and start crying. I'm alone in public, in the dark,

330
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: and I had no idea what to do when suddenly

331
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: I felt a hand on my shoulder and a man's voice.

332
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: He asks if I'm okay and says to stay right there.

333
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: I do, but begin to at least sit up and listen.

334
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: This man must have been tall and built like a tank,

335
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: because his footsteps sounded like a giant and I felt

336
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: a suction of wind when he took off. Wow, this

337
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: man is moving the air superhero. He's like freaking Superman

338
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: over here, literally maybe thirty or so feet away. I

339
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: hear a loud bellowing like an angry lion, and a

340
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: loud crash. Then before I knew it, the man is

341
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: back and helping me to my feet. He takes my hand,

342
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: puts the cane in my palm, and helps me pick

343
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: up the items I dropped when I fell into the display.

344
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: Oh this guy is the MVP. These are the kind

345
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: of people that restore my faith in human Yes, absolutely, Wow,

346
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: what a guy. If you ever see a blind person

347
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: on the floor in the fetal position. Wow, please PLEASETEVI

348
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: support to help me. Wiping tears away from my cheeks.

349
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so much. I did not know

350
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: how to handle that awesome guy. Don't worry about it.

351
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: Some people are just monsters facts. Karen's Karen's. This guy

352
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: restored my faith in humanity and even helps me finish

353
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: shopping and helps me out of the store. As we're leaving,

354
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I hear the familiar screeching of Karen something about awesome

355
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: guy grabbing then pulling it hard and flinging her little

356
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: devil child onto a shopping cart. I don't know if

357
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: she was exaggerating or not, but that would explain the

358
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: crash I heard. It's easy to feel alone in a

359
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: world with outsight, But even through the sheer terror of

360
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: being stripped of my cane, at least I know now

361
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: there are people willing to stand up for me when

362
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: I need it. Humanity coming out of the wood work

363
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: to really. I like how we went all the way

364
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: like horrendous, and then we land it back like the wholesome.

365
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: We land back on the wholesome at the end, I mean, luckily,

366
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: I think that. I mean, there are people that will

367
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: that will help, Like there are people that see injustice

368
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: and they're like, yo, like let's stop this. Let me

369
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: not let this defenseless woman who can't see, just like

370
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: like imagine just like pushing a grocery cart past that,

371
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: like and how do you see the cane? Like? Also

372
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: why just take someone's cane regardless of whether they're blind.

373
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: There was the first part where it's like, okay, she

374
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: didn't expressly say it, even though it was already kind

375
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: so I will, like op said, like okay, maybe not

376
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: everyone like fully knows or whatever. But like once Opie

377
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: says I am blind, he's blind, OPI is like, why

378
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: what good does it do to so dumb? Gosh? By

379
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: the way, speaking speaking of wholesomeness, we've been starting to

380
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: read comments a little bit more, and I stumbled upon

381
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: this comment on our TikTok this morning. This is from

Speaker 1: morning and I needed to hear something wholesome, appreciate pretty

384
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,639

385
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,959
Speaker 1: like the goal of this show is like, hey, here's
