Can you see quicksand?

Send us Fan MailIn this episode focused on tackling tough topics, Goat and Glaze are joined by "Korben Dallas" (previously Zoltar) to explore the highly unusual question: "How do blind people know what humans look like?" The discussion quickly spirals into a hilarious and surprisingly deep philosophical debate, using the previous episode's jail call as a perfect, unscripted opening.The hosts contemplate how the blind form a baseline for appearance, joking that perhaps they rely on action figures or old Raggedy Ann dolls. They question the challenges of a blind introduction where feeling someone's face is necessary, and hilariously ponder the implications of having a blind caregiver in prison.The conversation rapidly accelerates, proposing a scientific approach to blindness through echolocation (like dolphins) and questioning if the tapping of a white cane is essentially Morse code. They address crucial, unanswered life questions, such as:Who watches the child if two blind people have a kid?How would blind parents recognize autism or a gender transition in their child?How do blind people navigate apartment buildings when numbers can be inverted?This leads them to the terrifying realization that blind people, who can't see the environment changing from concrete to sand, might be the only ones who truly encounter quicksand in modern life, ending the segment on a darkly funny note. The hosts also take a side-quest to critique their beverages, finding a hard-to-believe statement on their Coke can: "Contains no dairy," and preview the next tough topic: lawn care etiquette.
