1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Karen let her son steal my blind cane because she

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: thinks I'm lying about being blind.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Then the unthinkable happened.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 3: I had no idea a blind cane is called a

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 3: blind cane.

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: It seems. It seems that's how he directly refers to it.

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: I did not. I had no idea.

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 3: What about like a seeing stick that's seeing sticky has

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 3: the alliteration built in. That's a good one, or like

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 3: a blind baton.

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: These are great names. I'm not gonna lie those. That's

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: a pretty incredible name.

13
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: Conical caine, cones in your eyes?

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Alright?

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: Those?

16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: Wait? Canonical? Is that like a thing in the eye,

17
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: Like there's.

18
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 3: A cone's there's rods and cones, your guys, and like

19
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: one sees color and one sees black and white, ones

20
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: like night vision, ones for day vision, and so like cones,

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 3: canonical cane.

22
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: So a bit of backstory.

23
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: I am a twenty eight year old woman who recently

24
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: went fully blind.

25
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: That's fully blind.

26
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: That's tough, dude, that's yikes.

27
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: When I was a teenager, I volunteered with my local

28
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: youth group to rebuild Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. And while

29
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: down there, I picked up a fungal parasite called a

30
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: histoplasmosis that over a decade, migrated to my eyes and

31
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: slowly caused the blindness.

32
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: That is so like she literally was doing.

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: This like incredible service to humanity, And that's how.

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: The world's like, let me take your eyes.

35
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: There's the ladies and gentlemen.

36
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: Sometimes things just happened like this is proof, right, here's

37
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: so rough. God, at least she can still write Reddit

38
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: post though she delivered a banger. Yeah, took her eyes,

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: but not her hands. She could still tell this story. Now.

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: I've been totally blind for about a year, so I'm

41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: pretty new to it.

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: But I digress.

43
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I feel like, honestly like a disease, just

44
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: like coming out of the blue like that, Like you'd

45
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: be totally blindsided here.

46
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking that there's a serious discourse gonna happen.

47
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: When I first went blind, I barely left the house

48
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: and was afraid to go out in public. I felt

49
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: like everyone was staring at me, and in all honesty,

50
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: I barely knew what I was doing. The transition had

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: been difficult, and I didn't have any support group to

52
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: teach me.

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Oh that's awful.

54
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: I feel like in that situation. Just imagine everyone's naked.

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: What if you can't see them?

56
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: Well she did, I mean, so she had sights, so

57
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I guess she potentially could.

58
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: She knows what a naked you know.

59
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: That's true.

61
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm very curious if any of y'all listening either have

62
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: had this happen to you or like know somebody that

63
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: that has happened to, like what their transition is.

64
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: I bet we have like like a non zero amount

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: of blind podcast listeners.

66
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: Oh, because certainly at least somebody out there for suah.

67
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said comment. We've been reading these people's comments recently.

68
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: If you if you're blind and we want to hear

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: your stories, we do.

70
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true.

71
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: We actually had we had a sexual story recently, Yes,

72
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 3: and we had a bunch of essential people commenting about that.

73
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: Tell us we'll read it. We'll read it out.

74
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: So let us know what's up with you in a

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: good way?

76
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: What's up with you? Yeah? Anywhoy?

77
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: So one day my husband asks if I can take

78
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: an uber down to the bank and deposit a rent check,

79
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: and I reluctantly agree, I can.

80
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: I can see why. Yeah, It's like, yo, you have eyes.

81
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: While out, he messaged me again, and it reminds me

82
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: that we're out of a few crucial groceries. Although and

83
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: I won't believe it, but I can see kind of

84
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: like you get to that point where it's like, hey,

85
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: could you just pick this up? You know what I

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: mean if you live with a person long enough.

87
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: Also like there is a world and where where like

88
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: this husband is actually doing her a favor where it's like, yo,

89
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: you got to get it back out into the world.

90
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: You know you can't. Yeah, yeah, you don't have like

91
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: us of your eyes anymore, but like your life isn't

92
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: over and you can still navigate. This is true, And

93
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: maybe these are like little tests of like hey, like

94
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: you could still go and like pick up a check,

95
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: like you can still go get groceries, like you're still independent.

96
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a lazy piece of Yeah, imagine he he

97
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: just has he slowly has her to do all his

98
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: chores just because he's lazy. Yeah, that's what I choose

99
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: to imagine.

100
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: He's like like the apartments of pigsty. It's just like

101
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: throwing shit everyway.

102
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: There was a Walmart grocery literally across the street from

103
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: the bank, so I figure everything in life is an experience,

104
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: and I'll have to learn how to shop alone eventually.

105
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: That's true. That's true. Yeah, that's true.

106
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: Everything was fine at first, and I was only grabbing

107
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: a few things, so I didn't really need a cart.

108
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: I was using my cane and what little echo location

109
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: skills I had at the time to get around.

110
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: Yo, she's echo locating.

111
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: I mean, Yo, that is that is super dope.

112
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: So I'm seeing like different kinds of echo location on

113
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: like YouTube videos. Right, So there's there's like the normal

114
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: way where it's like people like right and like they

115
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 3: can hear it. But then there's the other warriors.

116
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Go, I mean that seems a lot easier. Just it

117
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: is it is.

118
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: Locating around domber. You just hear someone.

119
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: That sucks because I'm I imagine the more sound the

120
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: easier it is to.

121
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like bits of echocating. It's because like we

122
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: got again, the more sound it is, I would have

123
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: to imagine I would if that would be I would

124
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: be fucking around with it. I would just be yelling

125
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: in supermarkets or like yet, like like someone like gets

126
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: in front of me, wrong, I'm yelling at them. I'd

127
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: be like, oh sorry, echo location yeah, you know, I'm

128
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 3: abusing the ship out of that power.

129
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: Love it.

130
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: But I was still bumping around into all the things

131
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: as us blind people tend to do.

132
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes.

133
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: Hey, understandable, it happens.

134
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: Brouh uh.

135
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: My cane suddenly hit something a bit softer. I'm so sorry.

136
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: My cane suddenly hit something a bit softer, and I

137
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: figured maybe I had whacked someone's leg. And I apologize.

138
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Now enters entitled kid and Karen.

139
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: Oh God, here we go.

140
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: Karen, are you really going to pick on the blind person?

141
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: Please don't just wait, just wait.

142
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: Me shoot, I'm so sorry, Karen, Hey, you'll hit my

143
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: precious on.

144
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: Yo, Karen's really about to go after a blind person.

145
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: Actually, this is actually happening.

146
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: And and hope he is apologetic, Like you could see

147
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: the cane. You could hear that the apology like like

148
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: this person is blind.

149
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Yes me, I'm so sorry, ma'am. I didn't see you there.

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Karen starts yelling, how could you not see him?

151
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: He's right there?

152
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: Karen, please please tell the op says like, hey, I'm blind.

153
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: So uh now I'm fully blind here, but I don't

154
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: wear sunglasses, mostly because I can't afford a good uv

155
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: blocking pair, but also because I'm not looking for pity

156
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: or to play the part of a generic blind person.

157
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: I just want to be treated like a normal person.

158
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: So I do understand her confusion, as blindness is the spectrum,

159
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: so I try to calmly explain bro OPI has so

160
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: much patience right.

161
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Now, Yes, so much patient low key.

162
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: I feel like, like with her condition, she's had to

163
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: build a lot of patience with herself too, and like, yeah,

164
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: well like patients, like with herself, like adapting to this

165
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: new situation. Stupid comments like just navigating the world in

166
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: this new way like that that builds your patience.

167
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: That's yeah, I can I can imagine.

168
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Me, ma'am, ma'am. I'm blind. I can't see anything, let

169
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: alone your son. That's why I use the cane so

170
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: I can get around without She cuts me off if

171
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: you're blind, And why aren't you wearing a big sunglasses?

172
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: Oh my god. I love how Karen has like a

173
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: caricature of what a blind person looks like. It's like

174
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: where's your dogs?

175
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: She just just like pulls out a list insteads going

176
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: down all the things. Now, as a blind person, I

177
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: get asked lots of stupid questions, but I understand a

178
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: lot of them are just people who don't know better,

179
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: so I try to happily answer as many as I

180
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: can me. Those are actually really expensive, around two hundred

181
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: dollars a pair, and I don't really need any inside Karen.

182
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: You're not blind. You're faking a quick catch? B you

183
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: got me? Oh my gosh, I'm pretending to be blind?

184
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: Like what does that like? Also? What does that accomplish? Like?

185
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: What incentive? Yeah?

186
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: Children, I guess.

187
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: So I can plitely tap children on the on the

188
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: shine like with It's so apologetic too, I don't get it.

189
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: Here is where my blood starts to boil. I can't

190
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: think of any reason so much.

191
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: How before the blood isn't boiling? Now blood boils.

192
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: Game time, baby, I can't think of any reason someone

193
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: would want to pretend to be blind. It is actual hell,

194
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: And nothing pisses me off more than when someone calls

195
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: me a liar when I'm.

196
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: Not totally fair, valid, completely valid valid.

197
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Just as I'm about to respond, I feel a tug,

198
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: and before I blink, I realize this little demon spawn

199
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: has snatched my hundred dollars cane right from my hands.

200
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: No.

201
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 3: One hundred bucks. Damn God.

202
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't understand, that's like if

203
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: you're shopping and suddenly the power goes out and you

204
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: literally can't see a single light without my cane. I

205
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: can barely move at all without crashing into anything. Frick

206
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: my voice gets shaky as I start to paint it.

207
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Please give it back. I really do need it. Karen, No,

208
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: you're a liar, and my son deserves to play with

209
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: this more than you deserve.

210
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: Bad you're joking.

211
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: Can you imagine?

212
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: Wow? Can you imagine no one like watching this and

213
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: being like, Hey, what the hell is going on?

214
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: So bro, this is like a Walmart or something. Where's anybody?

215
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Bro? You literally see a child snatch a blind woman's cane,

216
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: and she's like clearly called like in distress.

217
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: God, she's the world.

218
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: Man. I hear her shuffle away and my expensive cane

219
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: cracking into metal displays and such. As they leave, I

220
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: start crying and waving my arms in front of me

221
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: to grab onto something anything, end up crashing and falling

222
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: into the center aisle display, making a very loud scene.

223
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Oh oh, this poor woman. Without fail, I somewhat curl

224
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: into a ball and start crying. I'm alone in public,

225
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: in the dark, and I had no idea what to

226
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: do when suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.

227
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: In a man's voice, he asked if I'm okay and

228
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: says to stay right there. I do, but begin to

229
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: at least sit up and listen. This man must have

230
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: been tall and built like a tank, because his footsteps

231
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: sounded like a giant and I felt a suction of

232
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: wind when he took off.

233
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: Wow, this man is moving the air.

234
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: This superhero.

235
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: He's like freaking Superman over here, literally maybe thirty or

236
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: so feet away. I hear a loud bellowing like an

237
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: angry lion, and a loud crash. Then before I knew it,

238
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: the man is back and helping me to my feet.

239
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: He takes my hand, puts the cane in my palm,

240
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: and helps me pick up the items I dropped when

241
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: I fell into the display. So this guy is the MVP.

242
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: These are the kind of people that restore my faith

243
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: in human Yes, absolutely, Wow, what a guy. If you

244
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: ever see a blind person on the floor in the

245
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: fetal position.

246
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: Please please support and help me. Wiping tears away from

247
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: my cheeks, thank you, thank you so much. I did

248
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: not know how to handle that awesome guy. Don't worry

249
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: about it. Some people are just monsters facts Karen's Karen's,

250
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: this guy restored my faith in humanity and even helped

251
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: me finish shopping and helped me out of the store.

252
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: As we're leieving, I hear the familiar screeching of Karen

253
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: something about awesome guy grabbing the cane, pulling it hard,

254
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: and flinging her little devil child onto a shopping cart.

255
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if she was exaggerating or not, but

256
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: that would explain the crash I heard. It's easy to

257
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: feel alone in a world with outsight, but even through

258
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: the sheer terror of being stripped of my cane, at

259
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: least I know now there are people willing to stand

260
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: up for me when I need it.

261
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: Humanity coming out of the wood work to really.

262
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: I like how we went all the way like horrendous,

263
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: and we laid it back like the wholesome land, back

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: on the wholesome at the end.

265
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: I mean, luckily, I think that, I mean there are

266
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: people that will that will help, Like there are people

267
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: that see injustice and they're like, yo, like let's stop this.

268
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Let me not let this defenseless woman who can't see,

269
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: just like, like imagine just like pushing grocery car past that, like.

270
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: And how do you see the cane?

271
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: Like?

272
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: Also why just take someone's cane regardless of whether they're blind.

273
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: There was the first part where it's like okay, she

274
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't expressly say it, even though it was already kind

275
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: of so all I will, like op said, like okay,

276
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: maybe not everyone like fully knows or whatever.

277
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 2: But like once Opie says.

278
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: I am blind, he's blind, OPI is like, why what

279
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: good does it do to so dumb?

280
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Gosh?

281
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking speaking of wholesomeness, we've been starting

282
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: to read comments a little bit more and I stumbled

283
