    The juxtaposition of dude opening up about his mum and then the 3 guys carrying the bag of rice was something else.

      that scene made me cry and laugh at the same time, made me remember the time i lost my mum while noticing the absurdity of life around me keep being absurd.

    was worried when the channel didnt post for a while, everything about this is genius, the non judgmental contrast and giving equal weight to each persons life , the interviews ablity to detach and reenter the scene, the effects , the exosition shots , the people in the exposition shots , i coulnt tell if the looking at the script and having a lot of cuts was an artistic decision so more or that or less of that, i just hope to see you guys boldly pursue the artisc vision you have

    Its strange but content like this is so refreshing amongst all the protests, global politics, and other stressful shit going on right now, its just fresh to see people being people.

    Loved the setting in the archives. This vid was so good, it really feels like you guys are at the vanguard of on-the-street journalism and film. Letting people say what they have to say and not interfering while also remaining empathetic and warm (as shown in the end) is a fine balance, and you guys really do demonstrate it perfectly. Keep up the good work.

    This was fantastic, you guys did an awesome job. The way you had edited the end with the guy's birthday and the student really made me quite emotional. You're doing great work.

    I never take the time to comment on any youtube videos but your channel is so refreshing, I love the open and understanding conversations regardless of the person's ethnicity, race, age etc. Reminds me of Louis Theroux in a way. Great balance of comedy and serious topics. Always interesting how comfortable people are talking to complete strangers, often seems easier to open up.
