As a deaf dude I can assure you that the whole texting thing is easy. I can see text of course but I can't hear what you say to me on the phone so I have a version of TTS (Text To Speech) installed which converts what people say to text in a live environment ( yeah I know it's weird that it's still called TTS as in my case it's the exact opposite but hey tech companies are lazy fuckers & that term's been around a while so they just class it as a sub variant of it). So in Stevie's case texting would be easy as he'd just use the version that converts his own speech to text & reads out any text received.

Because he actually cares about the character and personality of a person and isn't concerned about the appearance. Haven't you ever seen blind people contour the faces of the people in front of them. He can tell a lot through his touch. Blind people wouldn't say they are disabled, neither would deaf people. It's only people who can see and hear that imagine the hardship that would be.
😂😂😂😂😂😅😊
I played in a band years ago with a blind keyboard player. He explained to me that he could see shapes, some colors etc. When we hear someone is blind most of us assume they live in compete darkness.
Its like me being legally deaf in my left ear. If i plug my right ear i can actually hear murmuring but cant hear individual words when someone is talking.
Dude explained Stevie's eye condition tho
@@user-qr5iu4lw2yapparently that eye condition he has which results in total darkness at birth can actually develop into seeing somewhat. No expert here, just throwing out there’s a possibility he was telling the truth and just exaggerates the total darkness today.
Didn't Stevie suffer a health issue where he was born completely blind in both eyes due to early birth and poor incubation operations?
Even when people are fully blind it’s not darkness, it’s just nothing
To be fair, I’m pretty sure Stevie described whatever P Diddy was wearing as “something gay” and he was right.
He saw gay, he said gay. He was making an astute observation.
BUt hE cAnt bE gAy
To be fair, even a blind man can see that.
He was sensing the vibes, a blind guy is good at that because it's survival for him.
Oh my god I forgot about that 😂
Stevie Wonder sings a song about having Skeletons in his Closet but how do we know there aren't actually skeletons in his closet and he just doesn't know that they are there because he's blind?

Stevie Wonder sings a song about calling to say he loves someone, but how do we know he didn't call a stranger since he's blind and can't see his phone?
One of my favorite memories watching Stevie Wonder was during a Grammy ceremony I think. Someone got an award and everyone stood up and clapped. And then there’s Stevie, sitting down and clapping, facing the opposite direction as everyone else.
I had a blind friend who could tell where lampposts were, could tell if she was walking past a car, a door, a window, and whether the door or window was open. She did it by sound. And no, she wasn't faking being blind. She had the same blindness of prematurity that Stevie Wonder had and would totally lose her ability to navigate if she got distracted. She was just really, really good with her ears.

My step mom's friend who was blind had a funny of way of addressing things. She would say, "What do you mean, according to the tone of your voice?" So, one had to start taking into consideration just what the tone and attitude of their voice was before just rattling it off as usual. 🙂
That is expected in my book, whatever 1 of the 5 senses you lack or are inhibited then your other senses will make gains.
Exactly. I had a good friend who was visually impaired, who lived in a block of apartments with others of varying degrees of blindness. One of them could play Tekken by the sound alone, and was not bad at it either. He could also recognise voices instantly and imitate them perfectly.
Things like Shaq in the elevator is pretty easy to explain; you know you're in the building that Shaq lives in and there's a guy who you can hear breathing 2 feet above your head.
Sure, but could she have caught that mic stand while all that loud singing is going on?
My favorite conspiracy is that everything's gonna be alright.
thats called a prospiracy "A secret plan by a group to do something beneficial."

@@quillclock Either way, its entirely unrealistic.

Be careful Dankula, he might be blind but hes got great hearing. He'll fly right to your house and play his piano in your room.
That's the weirdest horror movie I'd pay to watch.
You can fight most Scotsmen on smell alone.
I wish I was Stevie Wonder so I never had to see this again.
Rocket propelled piano
Dear god....
Messing with your blind friend is hilarious. That's how you know it's a solid friendship.
I saw him backstage at the House of Blues and was led to a drum set, felt around where everything was positioned then begins to play the drums comfortably like it was nothing! My mind was blown, he is super next level!
Interviewer : So Stevie is it tough being blind sometimes?
Stevie Wonder : Oh sure yeah sometimes it can be tough but it could be worse
Interviewer : How so
Stevie : Well I could be bl.......
“Ladies and gentleman…
We got him”
...black, just say it and have no fear!
Black?
Whenever we'd be having a bad day at work I'd say to my employees "it could be worse"
I only had to say the full line once.
Expecting people to believe he can work/use/program synthesizers live and in the studio is the height of stupidity...
Stevie was once handed a cheese grater and proclaimed it the most violent book he'd ever read

Do you know why Stevie Wonder can't read?
Because he's black
Lmfao 😂
That's such a dumb joke lol 10/10
You ever see Stevie Wonder's wife? ...yeah, him neither.
The "Doug Dimmadome's gay cousin" joke caught me off guard. Thanks for cheering me up, Dank!
I saw Stevie in concert. A true genious. His brother Calvin was with him. After the concert Stevie said I'm gonna preach now, you can stay or go. We stayed, Stevie preached.
My best friends dad worked as Stevie Wonders head caterer for multiple tours. He was adamant that Steve could see him, he told me many stories of steve looking directly towards him and saying "hi sean" in a room filled with multiple people. Always belived he wasnt blind
I think danks srguments prolly correct he can see to an extent shaped and blobs partial features and he just lied about the 100% blindness
I was thinking that about Shaq. Especially if it was their shared apartment block so he will be used to it. I’m sure he has a distinct aftershave
There are many stories about Stevie Wonder like this.
@@Chicken_Little_Syndrome I dont disagree, It does seem like Stevie Wonder isn’t being completely honest with the level of his impairement. I’m just saying the anecdote about being in the elevator with Shaq isn’t the best example, as even I can tell who’s just been in it just by the perfume or cologne smell.
it's possible. but i also think there is a great misunderstanding in having a physical disability like that, especially sight. they say to paraphrase, when you lose one, all the others become stronger. you notice scent, and sound at a higher level. you have a minds eye along with an imagination. and a sense of self. you may not know what you actually "look like" but you can feel your body, you live within it. so you can extrapolate what other human beings must "look" like. this kind of sht is way deeper than most people with all their facilities can imagine. and even a lot of them with all facilities are literally dotards in comparison, like they can't even navigate all that they have effectively.
You don't get to drop a line like "Doug Dimmadome's gay cousin Boy George" and just step over it like Stevie Wonder over an obstacle he could not possibly notice if he was blind, Dank.
I need a drink of water after reading the longest sentence of all time.
what the hell just happened here
Dank will drop any line at any time
Nor the one right after: "the blind have a lot of experience driving stick" 😂

My cousin happens to be one of those rare people with complete blindness, retinae detached. She has had two children, a job, cooks, cleans, goes to the shops, surfs and runs marathons.
What does Stevie Wonder’s partner do when she gets mad at him?
Rearrange the furniture
I was a camp counselor for years, we had several blind kids who came for dedicated special needs weeks. There was an eight year old girl born without eyes. She didn’t wear glasses, her eyes were essentially fused shut. I remember one day I cleared my throat from fifty feet away and she looked me directly in the eyes before scolding me about scaring her. Blind folks are full of surprises.
…
But Stevie Wonder still isn’t blind tho
He's legally blind, not blind. Legally blind is like where the government says that you're blind, so your vision isn't great but it's still there. Blind blind is like you have no vision at all, like me. It's a very very wide spectrum.

“Locked in a staring contest with the abyss…”
Dude that is the most Warhammer diagnoses of blindness I’ve ever heard.
The conspiracy theory that "JFK's head, just did that.." Very Nearly just pissed myself! 😂
I have a blind person in my family. Their other senses become hyper keen to the point you might think they can see sometimes. He could probably hear the mic falling or feel the air move in front of him as the mic fell and put his hands out or a combo of both hearing and feeling the air move. Their other senses are WAY more sharp than ours. They can feel amd hear air movement around them that we can’t.
Personally I prefer the "Stevie Wonder isn't actually black" theory
"I might be blind but at least I'm not black" - Stevie Wonder
Fun fact he is actually a Chinese midget woman called hu dat🎉
I like the idea that he is blind but also dedicated troll and has his own entourage of 'private eyes' feeding him information about everything around him and help setting up pranks.
This is what I thought to come here and say. It would be gold for him to admit that one day
This could be a thing. Like how Tom Hanks used to run up to strangers before everyone had smart phones, talk to them and then say "and nobody will ever believe you.".
But he’s not actually blind tho 💀. Even Shaq ONeil said it
My sister is blind.. it doesnt really work like that. Trust me lol blind people move differently, it's weird
He's definitely blind haven't you ever seen the blind guy who can somehow see using echo location.
I'm a high school teacher. I taught and coached a blind kid (born without eyes) who could navigate school the entire day with very little assistance. He would practice walking his class schedule the week before classes, and was fine from there. It's amazing how well blind people adapt and thrive! He was a tough varsity wrestler too!
You got me laughing with the Better Call Saul reference rant.
"He's been locked into an eternal staring contest with the Abyss"
That's such an underrated turn of phrase. Well done, good sir.
Indeed
Alexa, play the chorus of The Stroke by Billy Squier
Maybe the abyss give him his information
Bob Bralove was a sound engineer for Stevie Wonder, traveling everywhere with him and setting up a portable studio wherever they went. Bob personally told me about how Stevie enjoyed freaking people out about his abilities. He also described how a favorite studio prank was to kill all the lights and start throwing objects at his staff. Bob said Stevie was as accurate in total darkness as a sighted person with the lights on. And his targets were trying to "hide" from him and being as silent as possible.
3rd eye
Reminds me of the movie, Blind Justice with Rutger Hauer as the sword wielding protagonist.
Vibrations and air pressure location are whack af. Knew a deaf guy growing up that would go hunting without hearing aids, and his reasoning was that he would have a far easier time picking up the scents of animals, and could differentiate between what type of animal simply based on what he was whiffing. Dude was also able to pinpoint rabbit burrows, even if they were obscured.
@@JoeSkylynxblind and deaf people are op, pls nerf!
That is awesome@@JoeSkylynx
I've been singing this for years, I'm glad someone finally sees it 😂
Love the Better call Saul impression! Absolutely brilliant 😂
Option 1: He can see.
Option 2: He can see, but its so bad that he might as well be fully blind.
Option 3: He cant see but with fame and wealth to take care of his needs and has had time to meditate, hone his fuctioning senses and has basically become black Daredevil
"Option 2" could be simplified down to "legally blind."
He’s the welfare-iest of welfare queens.
Living just Enough for the Dole.
I haven’t felt this low since Milli Vanilli went acoustic.
Occam's razor is definitely option 1.
I am sure Stevie is legally blind, but legally blind and medically blind are very different.
I am sure he greatly exaggerates how blind he actually is for showmanship purposes.
Blackdevil? Isn't that George Floyd? No wait, he's the Saint of Fentanyl.
Legally blind is such a broad scope that most people don't realize. I had a great uncle that was legally blind via glaucoma, but could still make out shapes and silhouettes in the light.
But these things are very impressive for a man with detached retina
It generally means 'effectively might as well be blind for any task where the ability to see at least X well is significant enough that we care about it', to my understanding.
But that’s “legally blind”. That’s different from being actually blind, which is the inability to see…
I am legally blind without my specs soooo 😂
What about illegally blind?
Been watching the big dank for years but every now and then I'm reminded just how hard that intro goes 🤘
If I remember correctly, Shaq said he got on the elevator in the lobby and Stevie was coming up from the parking garage.
As a blind man, i was offended by this video, but i can't find my phone to call the bloody police on you!
How many fingers am I holding up? 🖕 Ha! Can't read this anyways!
@@Smokkedandslammed fukn gottem!!!!
My Dad saw him live years ago. Never once thought he wasn't blind, until the night at that concert. My Dad swears up and down that Stevie stepped over wires, got close to the edge of the stage multiple times, but never passed a certain point, etc. Man is not blind, not even a bit. Also, cant wait till Stevie sees this bro!
They have state coordinators in their ear that can tell them if there is an obstacle or they’re getting close to the edge.
More plausibly they set the stage up identically every single time
There are a number of ways to achieve such things, ranging from Very careful placement and practice ahead of time to simply having an ear piece and someone telling them where things are, etc.
Some of the things presented in the video are Very easy to explain (How can you tell someone wearing big dark glasses is looking 'right at' something? You can't. And, importantly, and the reason actually blind people tend to wear them, you can't tell that they're Not), others rather less so if you assume full blindness.
I posted elsewhere I actually saw Steve in a music shop. He was guided around by 2 body guards. He sure looked blind to me. I was the only customer in there so I don't see why he'd need to put on a show. It's way more likely the stage is set up the exact same way so once he has a reference he can get around pretty well.
@@settame1 dude was stepping over cables dude..... how would you even react to something like that mid step while somebody was explaining where exactly is a cable on stage ?
This video popped up on my feed and I thoroughly enjoyed the risk clicking on it. This was hilarious!
For those of us who are into the Paul is Dead world, it makes complete sense that it was him that knocked the mic stand over. Go check out sage of quay if you're interested.
Just wait until Stevie sees this
Going to be a real eye opener for him
Man you guys... If he read these comments he'd blush.

@@MrNemoYo Blacks
I have three theories
1. "Stevie Wonder" is some kind of public performance character that he invented, and he's in too deep now to quit.
2. He is a prankster who regularly sets up weird scenarios to freak people out, and has assistants hired especially for this purpose.
3. Blind people are capable of things you wouldn't expect (and maybe Stevie could tell the mic was falling because he could hear his voice not being picked up).
It looks like he was already reaching out and the mic fell on his arm. Why he was reaching out I dont know and won't ever know because the mic dropped on his arm.
I think the truth is a mix of three. He's super nearsighted but he's capable and resilient enough to turn it into a gimmick,but he expected to die at like 40 so now he uses his wealth and fame to enjoy himself.
He wouldn't have known which direction it was falling. I believe the truth is a combination of your first and second theory.
The is one type of blindness that allows reactions. The nerves are wired into the arms and hands as well as the brain.
To expand on your 3rd theory; blind people tend to have a heightened sense of hearing. If you can't see, you rely a lot more on sounds to navigate life.
Stevie Wonder being a member of the band The Prodigy is my fave conspiracy theory 😂😂
🎵"I'll take your brain to another dimension...pay close attention"🎵
😂👍
Never has been blind just incredibly gifted.
Back in my days as a bus driver I had one regular blind rider, and I learned a lot from him from watching how incredibly independent he is out in the world. He could recognize people by smell, which let's be honest completely explains the Shaq story.
How does a Shaq smell?
@@petesahad3028 A lightly aromatic gorgonzola.
With his nose, of course
@@petesahad3028Diesel?
No, no it doesn't
To be fair…..If I was old Stevie here and there was a massive conspiracy theory surrounding my alleged blindness……I would CONSTANTLY play into it ….like ALL the time!
Agreed, Stevie's gotta be trolling everyone for giggles. I would too.
That'd be like a conspiracy about me being straight despite being a pooftah 🧚🏿♀️ I'd lean into it like David Bowie when he said "I'm a closet heterosexual."
No doubt. & people have been saying it for decades lol
I totally would
The celebrities he met may have agreed to prank the public with exaggerated stories
About boy George's story:
To be fair, wrestling is probably the EASIEST physical sport to do blind. Often times my headgear would slide over my eyes and I did just as mediocre as I always did, because most of it is based on feel for where the centers of gravity and limbs are. The only time you really need to see is the first few seconds of a match, as well as to ensure you're not out of the ring
CALLED IT!
Studio Engineers who have worked with him say that he can see with his right eye but it's legally blind and he has to tilt his head up to look down because his eye always looks down. Whitney Houston's engineer has said twice that Stevie can see but it is very bad. He said Stevie compared it to looking through a plastic bag full of water! He had a microchip surgery on his eye in 1999 and the BBC reported it! So he can probably see better now than he could in the mid 1980s.
The beeb did report that but a bunch of American news sources tell a different story. They say he was "interested" in getting the surgery but it turned out that he wasn't a good candidate for it.
That's not to say he didn't have some other procedure done later, and just didn't make that public.
Also the BBC article that I did find said "will have" and not "had," which I read to mean they got a misquote and didn't bother to corroborate it. How very unlike them to do so! 😂
Dank is the kind of friend I'd wanna have if I ever had a crippling disability.
My syndrome is down but my hopes are up.
I have crippling polio!
The kind to push you off a cliff to prove you cant fly 😂
Aww, thank you.
To quote an old video: "Dank, I'm in a wheelchair, what do I have to racism and races?"
"Well you could, if it was down hill."
OMG, the "next you're going to tell me that's really Paul McCartney" totally slipped by hahahah. Have you done a video on that one? I'd watch the hell out of it.
I like all the videos of yours I've seen so far. This one where you examined something a little more tongue n cheek has been my fav so far.
I have the same eye condition Stevie Wonder has (retinopathy of prematurity) and I can see just fine out to 10 feet even though at birth I was completely blind. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Stevie thought to himself 'I bet I can convince them I'm actually blind' one day and stuck with it for showbiz and the little favors like carrying things or opening doors.
And figure Ray Charles had shot to the top of the music industry as a blind, black musician who had a very distinctive and great sound. It would be pretty tempting to follow in those shoes.
@@mariannorton4161 I don't have nearly as much musical prowess as Stevie Wonder so that's not an option for me
So technically legally blind but able to see things. Makes sense.
@@go-aheadbe-offended1767 You hit the nail on the head
I too have. ROP and was said to once be blind as a premie. My right retina poorly reattached in infancy. Vision is poor in this one eye, clear, but legally blind with no peripheral vision and left eye has no light perception. If Stevie‘s vision is close to mine, then he may have noticed a Mike Stan toppling. I cannot drive a car ever. There is a lot I cannot see went out and about however, I can cross streets and navigate a city well enough.
"IF anyone is wondering why my voice sounds a little bit messed up"
Thought we were leading in to a "I'm Scottish" joke.
I barely notice his crippling Scottish accent anymore.
@@chrisw6164we all have a cross to bear.
I really don't care if he's partially sighted, full sighted, or in the dark blind he makes brilliant music and brilliant songs. It's not like he's collected a welfare check all his life for it the guy has worked hard all his life.
I'm sold
I met Stevie while I was a student at Full Sail back in 2000. He came to our movie set along with 2 huge bodyguards, and walked around as if checking out the set. I was the only one brave enough to speak to him and fairly screamed out “hey Stevie, welcome to our movie” because I guess because he was blind he was also deaf. His bodyguards were startled but to their credit they immediately saw I was no threat and Stevie warmly held out his hand and shook mine and we spoke for a moment just small talk as you do. Then they all left. I got the impression he could see perhaps light and dark and maybe big objects etc because he easily navigated the set even with all the cable and light stands and the like. I found him quite warm and charming. It would be hilarious is it was all just a hoax after all these years.
Musical genius regardless if blind or not!! thanks for sharing ur story
He's not deaf.
@@thegiftedseer6764 What? 😐
I just don’t understand what the interest would be for him to pretend to be blind. His music stands alone. I only knew that Stevie Wonder was blind because of the SNL parodies.

I met him once, he was playing in a London department store which was opening a room called the wonder room, so they got him to do a celebrity laden concert, I was the manager of the room and did a staff briefing to all the people working that night, anyway I finish the meeting saying “and you know it ain’t over until the blind man sings!” Only to turn around and he’s being led to the stage for a sound check, he shouted out “ain’t that the truth”
Well he wasn't deaf.😂
What's your point?
Best Stevie story I ever heard came from Elton John. They were at his winter lodge and there were some Snow Skis. Stevie got on one and asked how it worked. Elton told him and then, woosh off he went. Elton stood there watching him not really thinking about it. Then, the penny dropped, Elton was like, "OH SHIT! STEVIE, STEVIE!"
Lol 🤣 then Elton followed him down the slope backwards in assless snow overalls through the densely wooded forest?

I'm reminded how old I am every time someone mentions Donald Glover and for a split second, I think they're talking about Rigg's (Mel Gibson) partner on Lethal Weapon. Then it hits me.. that's Danny Glover, who is one of my favorite actors. And then I remember Donald Glover is that one kid that's not related to Danny Glover... And then it hits me how old I am because I just referred to a grown man as a kid and relate more to Danny Glover, who is probably 300 years old by now. I know the name of Danny Glover's character, but I know for a fact I'll spell it wrong, so not even gonna try. And how weird would it have been to see Danny Glover sing with Stevie Wonder?

Thnx, I just wrote up above how I saw him on a youtube onstage with an all star lineup for a 'hams across America' type event, and he caught a falling stand mic that was not even in front of him, and it shocked me, I was like, rewind this! I called a friend about it and he told me Ray Charles has a driver's license!
Rumour has it that at night he wears red spandex and beats criminals with his stick
Stevie is an old school troll. Dude’s loving life.
Definitely playing the long game!
True. Man's an old school troll till the end
Stevie can see a little bit... its funny cuz this was known in the 80s
Is that how he caught that mic stand that Paul McCartney knocked over?
Dead AF the whole time watching this. I NEEDED THIS LAUGH. THANK YOU
I had a really good friend who was missing both eyes that died recently and he was INCREDIBLE at knowing where he was. In our hometown he could give you directions while you drove but he did run into things sometimes when he was somewhere unfamiliar, but he was only blind for like 5 years and sometimes I couldn’t tell he was blind at all.
Blind or no, that man is one of the greatest musicians of all time and that's basically all I care about.
Legit, I hope he can see. It'd make me happy.

Another quality video Count!
We've been saying this for years
What's more remarkable is how well Dank picks his video topics. Put this right into my bloodstream, you beautiful Scotsman.
That Chuck imitation was amazing XD
That superstition comment with the drums in the backyard was absolute gold!! literally nearly spat out my coffee i just took a sip of... caught me soo off guard... well done mate :)
People don’t realize how much blind people can actually do. I had a blind friend growing up and she always knew where people were, could dress herself and was an actor and could walk around stage by herself with ease.
Why wouldn't a blind person be able to dress themself?
@@scottashe984picking out the outfit is the hard part.
THANK YOU. You've hit the nail on the head. Blindness is a spectrum. We're not totally helpless and are capable of living normal lives.
I meen there are several heroes who are blind for a reason lol
@@BlindBabeBethbut Stevie is supposed to be completely, entirely blind
I gave Stevie a cheese grater for Christmas, he said it's the most violent book he ever read.
😂😂😂

Decades ago, that was a film of him, catching a microphone that was about to fall over, on stage his vision was perfect
The definition of endless love is Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles playing tennis.
Fuck no. Haaaahaa
I started this video smiling and laughing at the idea of Stevie Wonder being able to see, now i'm sitting with my head in my hands questioning everything
He's legally blind, not blind. Legally blind is like where the government says that you're blind, so your vision isn't great but it's still there. Blind blind is like you have no vision at all, like me. It's a very very wide spectrum.
@@Blindperson38Please stop trolling.
@@nicwelchHow is that a troll? Please look up what legally blind means.

@@wanderer7965 facepalm….lol
I saw that awesome d20 behind you so I just had to watch!
The logical answer Stevie learns peoples voices, and starts off with beeing polite and saying helooo how are you today. And he can hear the mic falling and in wich direction he spent what 50 years in a studio im shure it happend thousands of times.
I met Stevie Wonder a few years back when he was being driven around downtown Baltimore city i guess just viewing the city, I later learned he was in town for a show. He was with a young woman who I also later found out was his daughter. He actually pulled over and got out just to take pictures with all of us on the street after an older woman noticed him when he rolled his window down. So I luckily got to meet him. He was incredibly nice, extremely generous with his time, posed for every picture with every person who asked, he was WAY taller than I expected(well over 6ft.) and DEFINITELY blind as a fuckin bat!
Stevie got superpowers like Daredevil 😈
"He actually pulled over" HA! There ya go... blind people can't drive cars. BUSTED!
@@salazamhe literally said he was being driven around. 🤡
@@krazykuz13cmc He literally edited his comment. He still left in the "viewing the city" part... as if we wouldn't notice.

Lol! "I don't want to SEE this on TV". 😂
I knew a man when I was 13 who was totally blind. He was an auto mechanic, one of the best in the county. The only problem he had was sometimes he drop his tools. If he couldn't find them, he get his son to help him. If he was home from school. If he wasn't his wife helped. And the best small engine repairman in the county, didn't have arms. Some people don't let things hold the back from doing what they want to do.
The engine repairman sounds like a pretty handy man to have around...
Reminds me of "Saddlerash", with H. Jon Benjamin.
Was this the fella in outback Australia? I saw a story on him and it was pretty impressive. Here I am struggling with 2 working eyes
How can he see timing markers and other visual things that are required to do most jobs as a mechanic? How can he see the level of liquids are at the required level? How can he check for damage that is visual despite it being the majority of things that need checked? Being a mechanic is like 50% visual and checking things by eye. I don't disagree he could replace parts on a vehicle but there is no way in hell he could find the problem to start with unless it was incredibly obvious damage. I am not trying to be nasty but lets be realistic, blind people can do a lot of jobs, car mechanics is not one of them. Things like spotting rust in places you cant reach is essential. A lot of damage is not easily accessible to be felt by hand and requires a torch even for a person with 20/20 vision. You could not even be a good mechanic if the room was too dark let alone being 100% blind.
@@richbob9155 Can’t wait for your comment about the no arms guy.
@@richbob9155 some Mechanic's back then could do what was called timing by ear. They didn't need to see timing marks. And what part of getting his son, or wife didn't you understand? They were his eyes.
Can you imagine if he was genuinely pretending to be blind all this time?😂I would say that's mad lad material
Everyone's gotta have a gimmick to stand out.
He is pretending. It's obvious
then he's the best actor ever.. (::)
