Tommy Edison and the bare facts. Tonight at 11.

Past simple

Here's kind of a strange questions. If you had a house guest who walked around naked,

or semi-naked, would that bother you all?

Short answer: No. I wouldn't care. I mean,

if you want to walk around naked who cares --- as long as I don't have to touch you

you can do what you want to do. I'm not looking. It doesn't make any difference

to me. Like I wouldn't even know. I guess the idea

of it is a little strange. I mean, I wouldn't think about walking around

somebody else's home naked or half-naked. Even if it was another blind

person it would never strike me to do that.

It would never occur to me. But I guess some people are that comfortable

But at the same time, there's no better place to walk around naked or half naked

than in a blind person's home. Just don't tell me.

And don't sit on the furniture. And don't rub up

we were good friends, you know, and we'd joke and laugh a lot and things.

And when we worked in radio sometimes we would have to go do events.

We might have to change. And this woman would

never ever get naked in front of me. Never.

And I said, "Why? How come?" She said, "You know what,

I think you can see. I think I'm going to get naked in front of you and all of the sudden

you're going to go 'ha ha, I can see!'"
She wouldn't even be

partially naked in front of me. You know, like if she left her top and bottom on

and then put on new pants and a new top or whatever. I'm not sure what

she thought. Maybe she thought perhaps I could see more than I was letting on or...

or what. I don't know, but I always thought

that was so strange and it's clearly something I've never forgotten.

And that's crazy. So here I am. My whole life

I get the idea as a child, "here's what I'm going to do."

I'm going to pretend to be blind my entire life

until I meet this woman at work and then she's going to get naked in front

of me and I'm going to go "ha ha." That's a long way

That's more of a stretch than I usually do for comedy.

[music plays]
So let's say you have some kind

of surgery and you can't see for a couple days and all of the sudden

your roommate starts to take advantage of the situation - begins walking around

Would that bother you? I understand it seems strange but

how could it make you uncomfortable if you don't know what's happening.

I'm curious for people who actually live with blind people,

do you walk around the house naked or semi-naked? Do you let them know?

Do you tell them? If so, how do they react?

Do they care? Does it freak them out? This is a question

I don't think I've ever heard before... honestly.

Maybe I don't get out of the house enough.

Would I ever go to a nude beach and be nude myself? That's a great question.

I mean, we're all sort of wearing the same thing, right? So after the initial

couple of minute of, "hey, I'm naked in front of everybody."

You sort of forget, I guess. Jeez, I don't know if I'd

I'd be afraid I'd burn myself. You know what I mean.

And then what? Then I can't wear clothes for a few days.

Do I understand the purpose of clothing? Yes, I mean

But I don't really understand it. Like, I know how clothing feels on me.

But I don't know how that clothing would look on you.

I understand that you'd wear a shirt and jeans or pants

or whatever. And I get that, but I don't know what it looks like.

Like for women, I know what a dress and skirt

and all that kind of stuff. I know what it is.

But I don't get how it makes you look cute or pretty

or how one piece of clothing can look great on one person

and horrible on another. That's a weird thing to me.

Fashion. I don't really know from fashion too much.

I put on clothing and then somebody will say, "hey, nice outfit."

like lace I don't really care for so much. That's not really that nice to touch.

it's soft like that, but lace is sort of rough.

I understand it looks pretty. And I guess you can see through bits of it.

But the fun thing about lingerie is the buttons.

Or something like that, you know. It's sort of like unwrapping a gift.

Well, because you have to be very careful, don't you? So it's gentle.

It's slow and you're unwrapping a little present in front of you.

A little human "presy." Me, I call it "ling-erie."

I wonder if the whole world was blind, would we wear clothing?

We're all the same and nobody's looking anyway. Jeez, I don't know.

I don't think so. I think the rules would be a lot different if the

whole world was blind. I really do. A lot of things would be different.

Maybe clothes would be more utilitarian. Right?

They'd just be to cover up your bits. Stuff like that.
