    7:13 “who’s your manager?” “it’s ed.” “it’s ed? have him come around here please.”
  • That last bloke with his son at the end really got to me, I just teared up hearing him say what he did to his son, and his son knowing I should help and do the right thing, a lot of people take things for granted, and forget that showing compassion to others that need it....
  • @kyledavies475
    "I help him because god helps me everyday!" I'm not religious but that almost made me cry
  • “He hits her with the silent treatment” he probably just didn’t want to lose count 😂
  • The sweet lady at 3:32 is so adorably precious!!!! She was so patient and kind!!!! If only we had more people like her in this world!!!! All the people who helped in this video, actually!!!! ❤😊
  • 2:20 I thought that lady was going to be very upset but she helped him out! And the way she says “god helps me every day” love this lady

    He’s the cutest old man 🥺 how could anyone be rude to him
  • @bethsnyder8376
    They really need to bring back this show, ASAP. Just what we need to see in tough times.
  • Not going to lie, it can be frustrating as hell, but I definitely won't stand by and let someone be disrespectful. Situations happen like this a lot and I'm definitely not the type of person to keep my mouth shut. We've got to try to respect each other, especially the elderly. Without them we wouldn't even be here.
