Yeah I had an old couple back into my jeep at the gas station. He begged me not to go through insurance and I could tell they were on a fixed income and asked how much to replace it. It only screwed up my running board which was like 400 dollars, so I told him, it's fine he doesn't owe me anything, if you have the money or whatever you can afford, donate to someone in need. I received a text like 2 or 3 months later of a donation of $400 that was made in my honor to a slain officers family in New Orleans. So I guess something good came out of a busted running board

[@lucas.daniel]

With these newer WWYD episodes, I really wish they would film longer ... these seem very short and remove a lot of value/impact from the actual show ... a lot of the older episodes are amazing and went viral because the show explored why people did what they did, and presented evolving scenarios. Like the one where Sarah Haines actually was one of the actors for a mother with post partum depression, the episode wasn't just "watch people be nice to this lady with post partum and that's it", the episode actually explored what was going on with these peoples lives that caused them to do this. There are many more examples, like the one where there was a foster child being treated poorly in favour of a foster parent's biological child ... the show didn't just clip people doing nice things, they actually drew out why people were doing these things and the actors would build on the scenario to get more reactions from people.
