Two videos stood out to me because
the theme here is that people
are dope.
And you wouldn't know it.
You would not know that people
are dope.
If you watched corporate media if
you listen to Tucker Carlson who's
encouraging people to go around
harassing others for wearing masks
,these are people who have a very
genuine interest in dividing us and
making us hate each other.
But if you really ignore all that
and just look at humanity as
a whole and
what people are willing to do for
others just to help them out.
You'll realize people are dope.
They really are.
They do things that they don't need
to do, but they'll literally
do it just to help others.
They get no benefit out of it other
than being a good human.
And so, two videos to kind of
provide examples of that.
I will be fully honest with you,
I do not have any context for
these videos.
I don't know where these videos are
from, I don't know- >> [INAUDIBLE].
But it doesn't even matter.
It doesn't know.
But that's the thing.
You'll see fun videos on Reddit all
the time and there's no context.
You're just, okay, but
where is this?
So why don't we start off with
the first one and let's watch.
Entities going down for
real [INAUDIBLE] and
nobody even knows the formula.
Formulas but
dimension is passing away.
Goddamnit.
I don't have [INAUDIBLE] >> If you
need a hug [INAUDIBLE] >> That's
healing, yes a hug [INAUDIBLE]
>> Thank you so much.
Grateful [INAUDIBLE] >> Just
breathe.
You turn your head [INAUDIBLE]
[CROSSTALK] >> Thank
you >> A cashier at a store handled
that situation far better
than all of these
countless cop videos that we've
shown you throughout the years.
A woman is
clearly having an episode.
Needs help, and rather than calling
the authorities or
freaking out about it,
this cashier just approaches her,
asks her if she needs a hug and
gives her a hug.
>> I just, man, I have so
much love for that woman.
I wish I knew who she was and
I wish I know that there are people
out there who do this.
They just never get any credit or
attention for it.
And so I wanted to bring it up
on the show.
>> Yeah, well,
I mean wasted a perfectly good
opportunity to body slammer sort of
sad when you think about it,
because she's still out there.
You could have stopped it for
slinger on the ground and showing
her who is boss Jonah is tough.
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
I think partially it's not the sort
of outcome that people think of
when they think I'm going to post
this and go viral.
It's just nice.
It is genuinely I didn't know I
didn't watch this video before, so
I didn't know what to expect.
That is just genuinely nice.
It's gotta be more common,
not just ask him.
It's gotta be more common than,
the afar through your pants,
Panera woman, or I got to believe
these are more common [LAUGH] but,
that was nice.
>> I think it also takes,
it takes courage to do
what that woman did, right?
In approaching someone who's
having enough.
I think a lot of people would be
a little scared, right?
Because we're not mental health
professionals, and you're right.
I think most people would not think
that the outcome would
be de-escalation.
>> Sure.
>> But think about how comforting
a hug is, think about how
comforting it is when you're going
through something really difficult.
You feel isolated alone scared as
that woman clearly did.
And someone comes up to you and
asks you, what can I do to help?
I just I really loved that video.
It made me tear up even while
I [LAUGH].
>> Yeah, well we're trained
to think that someone who is having
mental problems is inevitably
about to do something violent.
That's what we're
trained to believe.
More importantly,
that's what appears what
cops are trained to believe.
Because like one of the worst
things you can do for a person and
that sort of situation is called
the cops to help.
Because we know how that turns out.
There ain't hugs.
>> This next video is it's clearly
taking place in a different
country.
I'm uncertain where.
But it's pretty obvious
what's happening.
There is a man trapped in a burning
building.
He's on, I believe the third floor
of this burning building,
trying to get to safety.
And luckily,
there's a pretty big group of dope
people who want to help them out.
Take a look. [NOISE] >> So
not only was
that awesome but
think about
how good it feels
when you work
together with
people and
do something
incredible
like saving
a person's life.
>> Yeah, moving
the car out of
the way beforehand-
>> Its amazing.
>> Yeah.
Later someone comes back to their
car that doesn't know anything to
context, so like what the hell?
[LAUGH] I was parked there there.
[LAUGH] Yeah,
he was obviously scared, for
all we know he might have been very
injured at that point.
>> Right, yeah. >> because it seems
like they didn't
put him down immediately.
I was so worried that he was
going to, I mean I knew you
wouldn't have shown this to us if
it ended poorly, but they are sure
you could have a hold on that
blanket but like a body hitting and
could rip it right out of your
hands, that was my fear.
>> Do you think he would survive
jumping out of the window
if there weren't people down there?
>> Yeah >> Yeah.
>> Yeah, you'd probably be injured.
>> He definitely break bones.
>> Yeah, he'd break some bones but
I think I've seen statistical
breakdowns of how likely you are at
certain heights or
whatever on average.
I mean, it's super contextual what
you land on, how you land all that.
But I think he would've lived,
but he wouldn't have liked it.
So I'm glad he did that,
I'm glad that he hung first.
I was worried that he was
just going to throw himself out.
I'm like no, hang.
>> [LAUGH] Right. >> You're
going to take out a third
of the distance.
[CROSSTALK] >> Yeah,
that's a good point.
>> Yeah. I'm an expert on getting
out of burning buildings.
>> William, rohrich says,
empathy is an amazing thing.
It is. >> Yeah >> But also like
positive energy is an amazing
thing because putting that out you
just see things differently,
I don't know.
When you put out negativity you
do get it back in return, >> Sure.
>> I've noticed.
>> Yeah.
>> And believe me.
Like as a salty person,
I certainly engage in that when I
feel like it's warranted but
I'm a little more, the one thing I
think I'd gotten better at is not
letting people evoke or provoke and
believe me people try.
>> They prod >> They try.
>> [LAUGH] They do.
>> But I mean,
you get to choose right?
Genk said this years ago and
I rolled my eyes at it because I
was being bratty and I didn't think
it was really true but it is true.
You do get to decide whether or
not people get in your head.
There's a little bit of willpower.
There's discipline involved,
but- >> Yeah.
>> Do you have to let someone get
under your skin?
>> No. >> No, you don't, and
that's power, right?
>> Yeah, it's control.
By the way,
those I mean, not necessarily those
two exact videos, but maybe you'd
want a little bit more context.
Ideally- >> Yeah,
those people might be awful.
They might actually be
cannibals, yeah.
>> They ate that man.
I was really hoping to cook
a bit more.
But anyway it's not just the,
we don't know where it is, but
we also don't know what it is for
all we know that video is ten years
old, I don't know but, That said
>> People were still dope though.
>> That's true.
And they're still there.
No, they're totally.
You could you could just do this on
the show if you want.
I bet back when I used to just
watch the show before I
worked here,
those might have been stories.
>> You know what, this is actually
a great discussion.
I want to and I don't know how many
of our viewers right now have been
watching since the pre-Trump era.
We're going back to the second hour
as the second hour was, where we
talk about stories that might not
be strictly political in nature but
are interesting stories that, have
a social component to it, might
have a scientific component to it.
I don't know why.
But all I know is when I come
across the stories I know I want to
to talk about them.
>> Yeah. >> During the Trump era,
you had no choice,
the news cycle was overwhelming.
>> To bash you over the head every
day, >> We would have an entire
rundown ready to go and
right before we'd go live,
there'd be like 12 new
breaking news stories, and it was I
wanted to pull my hair out and
it would take us away from covering
some of the more interesting
feature type stories that I like.
>> Yeah, and
now Trump isn't president,
we've got Biden,
everything's great.
There's nothing to worry about.
So we get to have some fun.
We get to have our news brunch,
basically.
There's no problems we got exactly
what we want we have nothing to
complain about.
>> No ,don't get me wrong.
I mean obviously there are lot of
there are a lot of heavy stories
that we still cover even in today's
second hour John was- >> I had
super serious stuff.
>> I know he was I thought we were
going to have fun in the second.
>> No I love every one of
the stories.
[LAUGH] >> I love everyone
of the stories.
[LAUGH] >> Don't throw me
under the bus.
>> But I do miss- >> At least put
a blanket under it
if you're going to throw me there.
>> John, if anyone deserves a
blanket to save you, >> Thank you.
>> You're one of them.
You're one of the people who
deserve- >> So if we are both in
the building trying to jump out
remember, save me first.
[LAUGH] >> I'll come back for you.
