This is the, excuse me, the Vanishing of Hairy Pace,

some mini series on Radio Lab. I'm Chad Abumrod. Here we are.

And Shima A. Oliaii. Man, I jumped in too fast again.

Anyhow, this is episode three. The last in the Hairy Pace trilogy.

And it's all about the gray space.

So, on last week's episode.

I'm white.

White. White.

Are you black? No, I miss white is you. You're white.
