[Music]
okay so here's what i want to do take an
uber to a restaurant
and when i get to the restaurant i'm
going to ask uber driver to join me for
lunch or dinner whoever does it
will get 500.
thank you so it looks like we got a
driver
you want to join me for lunch jeffrey i
thought we had something nice going on
what happened
would you be willing to come in with me
for lunch
[Music]
okay that was a complete non-starter and
not to be doing it
okay i was too hungry to continue doing
this on an empty stomach
it's raining outside so i'm glad to be
in the car are you hungry
i really hope this one works out i'm not
getting my hopes up because i've been
rejected too many times i would
love to take you out for dinner man this
is turning out way harder than i thought
it would be
[Music]
funny i am looking to take someone out
to dinner would you like to come out
with me
i've already spent 100 uber trying to do
this
i've gotten nowhere
should i give up i don't know what to do
i feel like going maybe i'll do this for
another hour
and after that uh i think we're gonna
call it a day
okay i'm adopting a new strategy i've
gotten rejected eight times
and every one of these times was on this
side
of the big boulevard so
in judaism we have a concept called
meshana mukum
it means that if you change your
location you can also change your luck
i'm gonna go to the other side of the
street and try to order an uber from
there
who knows maybe i'll have better luck so
we're gonna try right now to order
another uber
i believe this is number nine and we'll
see what happens
wish me luck
okay so jose my ninth driver
is on the way and there's a problem that
i didn't anticipate which is my phone
battery is at three percent
and i don't have a second battery pack
so that means that i'm either gonna have
to go into a store and charge it for a
few minutes which is gonna take some
precious time out of the project
or i can just call it a night and take
an uber back home we're going to try it
again
hopefully jose will be willing to do it
hello hello
good evening you hungry yeah man
i've been wanting to do a really good
deed today
would you come out with me to dinner no
no that's it
why not uh
i need money bro okay driver number nine
i think his name was jose
he said no but i came really close to
convincing him i kept telling him that i
took nine drivers before him
i would love to go and he kept saying i
want to come but i need to make money
take money and i told him
trust me you will not regret it and he
said no but i need to make money i need
to make money
and i'm thinking to myself i have the
money just
go out with me but he said no the
phone's at 2
i don't think it's going to handle more
than one more ride but at the moment
i just ordered another one driver number
10. his name is yoel
which usually means that that's a jewish
guy because it's a jewish name
maybe jewish guy will be less afraid of
me
because he's also jewish i don't know
i'm not sure what it is but i'm
i have a good feeling about this one
please please hashem please make this
one work
i literally flew in from new jersey for
this and
spent all day trying to make this happen
nothing going on we're talking like

morning now it's 9 30 p.m

okay you literally just made my day
thank you so much okay so i'm here with
my amazing awesome uber driver his name
what's your name
baha'i let's do this yes
but first a word from our sponsor
so you applied for a mortgage and you
got declined yet again call mid capital
they have a different approach and they
can make sure that you get approved to
buy a home
that you love call mid capital today
okay so here we have menus
take anything you like nothing heavy
anywhere
what an amazing day this is
i you are a special man oh my goodness
this is crazy i gotta tell you that
cause you're doing something good
already
i know but you've never done this before
i've never done this before either
so i was just talking to baha'i and he
told me that he loves his job because he
gets to meet so many cool people
so absolutely and
to me it's the best job in the world and
it's most dangerous too because
you don't know who you're picking up
right today you got me
well i mean you're different i mean you
fight
with food to eat with you the baha'i was
just telling me that
uh this place is called kosher town
that's what they call it because i mean
that's the area yeah there's all the
kosher restaurants here
of course your best friend where are you
from originally said
watching really that is amazing
i was born in jerusalem too i know who
you are i mean when i picked you up i
mean this is
not nothing i could tell you jewish that
i'm palestinian
but that's not gonna happen but don't
you think it's beautiful that you and i
are sitting at a table together
absolutely you see we don't have to be
enemies there's no need to say
for what this is unbelievable you
literally you made my day
and you are going to inspire millions of
people
oh yeah i'm glad to hear that okay
what would you like to have oh hamburger
fries i guess i don't know
okay i'll have a can i get the smoked
chicken caesar
absolutely okay amazing looks like a
good burger
pretty good and this is my chicken
caesar salad
thank you
you're the 12th one that i asked and
everyone else pretty much said
no we have to work we have to make money
that's what i want i understand
i probably they thought it strange yeah
absolutely strange anyway
it certainly is strange pretty good i
mean you're good
i mean but you're going to ask a lot of
people
most of them during the daytime you're
not going to get anybody to do that
because probably
they started working and all right
that's why i feel like you're you're so
special because you
you're um very what's the word
absolutely spontaneous you're cool
you're spontaneous you're ready to do it
i thought about it for a minute
not that really busy out there what the
hell
i wanted to know i really appreciate
really appreciate the fact you came out
and
i appreciate what you did god bless you
and this is i think likewise
it's important you know we're making you
and i we're making world peace right
here in
miami absolutely we're it's a jew and a
palestinian
and god is very proud of us i think
you do nothing to me that's right i
don't i don't think like everybody
that's good
i'm sure you've probably never expected
that i say yes either because so many of
them said no
if you were the last one i was gonna
give up it was too much like i've been
working on this since four in the
afternoon
oh during the day it's hot
how has the pandemic been for you like
was it difficult for you financially
bad absolutely i lost my not my tax
devices
i gave up the taxes because i cannot pay
medallion them yeah it's very expensive
i can't do it no more you know
it is and there's no business europe is
closed south america is closed
and that's what we depend on here
hospitality zero
is practically zero struggling like you
believe yeah it's i'm not the only one
for sure everyone has trouble seeing a
lot of them they sold their cars
it's that bad yeah i mean i looked at
other taxi drivers
and than i am you got big families
you can't pay the medallion or you know
pay that company
you just gave it up hopefully things
will get better very very soon and then
everyone will make a lot of money thank
you so much for coming out absolutely
it was really special thank you like to
us thank you
okay so we just had an amazing dinner
and now baha'i is going to take me back
to my hotel
and uh yeah what's that
let's do it okay i just got back to the
hotel baha'i is waiting downstairs
and now the fun time is here
we are going to give him the check so
i'm going to take it downstairs he's
waiting in the car
i'm gonna ask him to come to the lobby
and
he's gonna get this awesome check and
hopefully it'll make his day and uh
make his life easier okay i just called

okay all right thanks a lot
thank you have a nice day thank you
you're well
after getting rejected 11 times and with
my phone battery at just one percent
i decided to try my experiment one more
time
interestingly enough the moment that i
was about to give up
was the exact moment that baha'i decided
to get out of his comfort zone
and join me for dinner often in our
day-to-day lives
we get so caught up with what we're
doing that we forget to see and interact
with the world around us
but when we make sure to open up our
eyes our hearts and our minds
something beautiful is bound to happen
i'd like to thank baha'i for joining me
on this awesome journey
