LOLO: That's the thing that's tripping me out is because everything
sounds so familiar but I never
I guess thought to put the sound to the object
that I was looking at. [swoosh / music plays]
TOMMY: Today we're going to play another game of Blind vs. Blindfolded. Now, we're joined by a
friend of ours and this is Lolo. How are you doing? LOLO: I'm good. How are you?
TOMMY: Just fine. Thank you. Now we met Lolo last year at
VidCon as we were on a panel about disability. So tell everybody
about you and about your channel. LOLO: So my channel is called
Sitting Pretty on YouTube and it's all about my life as a
woman in a wheelchair and I talk about
various topics... taboo topics... and just put
my little wheelchair spin on it. TOMMY: For today's video, we're going to see
who's better at identifying things around the house by the sound they make.
Now is it going to be somebody who's blind since birth, or somebody
with a blindfold on that has had sight their entire life.
How do you think you're going to do, Lolo? LOLO: Ah, you know,
I think I'm going to be pretty strong. I've never done anything like
this so this is going to be interesting. I'm putting my
own self to the test. You see what I'm saying? TOMMY: I love your confidence. I love it.
Now, for you guys watching, you're going to be able to play along as well
because we're not going to reveal the sounds until both Lolo and I
have made our guesses. And don't forget after you watch this video
to check out Lolo's channel and see the video we did over there.
All about the things we would do if we didn't have our disabilities.
So Lolo, it's time to put on the blindfold.
LOLO: Oh boy.
TOMMY: Alright, let's see who's better at being blind blind. Ben Churchill... take it away.
BEN: Alright, here's the first one. [metal ringing]

TOMMY: Okay, I think I know exactly what that it is. Lolo, what do you think?
Do you think you know? LOLO: Wait. No, no, no. Wait, one more time.
[metal ringing]
LOLO: I'm just going to guess. TOMMY: Now I'm not so sure.
Alright, you ready? On the count of three. 1... 2... 3...

TOMMY: Okay, I think I have a guess. I feel like

[plastic shaking or closing]
[plastic snapping]
[plastic shaking]
BEN: Here's a little more.
[plastic shaking and snapping]
TOMMY: Okay, let's give it a shot.

because I said CD. LOLO: This is true.
BEN: Here's your next sound.
BEN: Here's your next sound. [slap or hit]
TOMMY: That was it? BEN: That was it.
TOMMY: Can you do it again, please? BEN: Sure.
[slap or hit] LOLO: That's it? TOMMY: That's it, Lolo.
I don't know, Lolo. What do you think? Have you got a guess?
LOLO: You know the guess in my head doesn't make sense. BEN: We're going to raise the stakes on this one.
This one's worth 5 points. So you can win the game in this one shot.
[slap or hit]
TOMMY: On three then... 1... 2... 3...
TOMMY: Disc in a jewel box. LOLO: Hammer.
BEN: The correct answer is an egg cracking.
TOMMY: Holy smokes. That's an egg cracking? If I heard that
on a bowl I would know exactly what that was. BEN: Right. No, this is like dropping an egg.
TOMMY: Holy smokes. LOLO: Wow.
TOMMY: So there it is. Our final score then... 6 to 2.
Lolo, go ahead and take off your blindfold if you'd like.
LOLO: I tried Tommy.
TOMMY: Now, don't forget to go over to Lolo's channel and subscribe and also check out the video
we did about what we would do if we didn't have our disabilities.
So Lolo, what'd you think? What did you learn from today's experience?
LOLO: I learned that I need to open
my ears more. Boy, that was
really difficult but it was really enlightening
at the same time to just see the connect between
sight and hearing...
Wow. If this was a real game show
and you were like, "Hey Lolo, you should be my teammate."
I would immediately decline. TOMMY: Well, listen, so would I.
LOLO: Exactly. And I wouldn't even be mad at you.
[music plays]
TOMMY: So we got this new blindfold with the extra padding down at the bottom
so I'm sure you can't see, right. You couldn't see anything out of the bottom, could you?
LOLO: Absolutely not. It was pitch black dark.
It was real.
TOMMY: There... you just saved us 50 comments to read.
