We've all seen the videos.
2
Elderly drivers accused of causing accidents, and lawmakers are grappling with an aging population,
3
some of whose ability to drive is in decline.
4
Now some states are even mandating eye tests for those over 75.
5
Today, we're at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina.
6
Our actor is playing a car service driver with a long history of five -star ratings.
7
But that just won't fly for the passenger he's picking up at the airport today, because he refuses to take a ride from an older driver.
8
Mr. Smith?
9
You are Mr. Smith, right?
10
Yeah.
11
What?
12
You're not my driver.
13
This is a joke, right?
14
I should be driving you.
15
If you witnessed this ageist behavior against a driver just trying to do his job, what would you do?
16
Wait, I don't understand what you mean.
17
I'm sorry, but the car service was supposed to send a younger man, okay?
18
I don't understand.
19
Why?
20
Because I'm going to have to carry my own bags.
21
Well, I'd be happy to do that for you.
22
No, no, no, because you're just going to get hurt.
23
Sir, that's enough, okay?
24
I just don't feel comfortable getting in a car with you.
25
I'd like to get home safely and on time.
26
Well, this is my job.
27
I need this job.
28
I've been doing it for years.
29
I've had my driver's license up to date.
30
They give it periodic.
31
I drive.
32
You've been really rude to him, and I don't care whether you want to ride with him or not,
33
but that's very hurtful, what you just said, Ms. Jones.
34
This is not the way we do things here.
35
Let's break it.
36
This is really sweet.
37
I'll take care of your job.
38
I'll take care of the cause.
39
You're very kind.
40
Thank you.
41
All right.
42
Hi, ma 'am.
43
Hi.
44
I'm John Quinones with the TV show, What Would You Do?
45
He's an actor, and so was the mean man.
46
We wanted to see...
47
We both were actors.
48
We wanted to know what people would do, and you came to the rescue.
49
I thought he was rude.
50
I didn't appreciate him making a scene here.
51
We don't treat people that way.
52
I'm 81 years old and I find it very offensive that anybody can treat an elderly person that way.
53
Age has nothing to do with whether you can do a job or not.
54
It warmed our hearts to see a woman in her 80s standing up for our driver.
55
But we wondered if anyone younger would be willing to step in.
56
I gotta go.
57
My driver's here.
58
Here we go.
59
Here we go.
60
Welcome to South Carolina, Mr. Smith.
61
How was your flight?
62
My flight was fine.
63
Is this a joke?
64
Everybody's quiet.
65
OK, you're not really from the car service.
66
Oh, I am.
67
Yes, I am.
68
No, I mean...
69
You're way too old.
70
Sir, you're too old, OK?
71
I should be driving you.
72
As the actor berates our driver, the claim area seems to fill up with travelers that could be his grandkids.
73
I've had this job for years, sir.
74
I can see you've had this job for years.
75
Look, okay?
76
I've never had any problems with my passengers.
77
I'm not going to get in a car with you.
78
I don't feel safe.
79
I'd like to get to my destination in one piece and on time.
80
Look at the woman behind you.
81
We have visual tests and hearing tests.
82
Okay.
83
It's okay, sir.
84
You don't want to drive for a person like that anyways.
85
What makes you think he's not?
86
I know.
87
That's so great of you.
88
Would you get in a car with him?
89
Yes, I would.
90
Why would you not?
91
You're an adult, sir.
92
We're children and we're correcting you.
93
And the fact that we're correcting you is embarrassing.
94
He's obviously perfectly capable of giving you a ride to your destination.
95
It's disrespectful.
96
Do you really think that he can even see the road?
97
Yes!
98
He can perfectly see you fine.
99
I can't believe these words are coming out of your mouth right now.
100
I'm sorry, how old are you?
101
Because my parents taught me better respect than that.
102
If you have a problem with him driving...
103
He should be in a nursing home, not the road.
104
Whoa, that's...
105
Can I give you a hug?
106
Oh, my God.
107
I cannot believe you said that.
108
You know what?
109
Thank you. Of course.
110
It's okay.
111
Oh, beautiful.
112
You know what?
113
He doesn't deserve you as a driver.
114
The kindness these young folks show to our actor is what our show is all about.
115
And kindness is universal from one generation to the next.
116
Hi, everyone.
117
Oh, my God.
118
Hello.
119
Thank you.
120
How are you?
121
Holy...
122
It's what would you do.
123
Oh, my God.
124
Russ?
125
Russ is an actor.
126
Oh, my God.
127
I see you on TikTok all the time.
128
You're in tears.
129
Why?
130
I felt so bad.
131
Because I just couldn't believe that anybody would have that much disrespect towards someone.
132
Yeah, you challenged me the older guy.
133
I did.
134
Everybody deserves respect no matter how old or young you are.
135
I was like whoa
136
because it really just like shook me
137
and I was like you can never judge somebody because you don't know what's going on in their life.
138
How valuable are the elderly to this world?
139
Very.
140
So we're sending a new driver to the airport to pick him up.
141
How will the folks at baggage claim react
142
when we turn his rude ageist comments into a misogynistic rat
143
mr smith welcome to south carolina seriously what am i going to have to carry my own bags
144

145

147

148
i'm sorry i would actually like to get to my destination safely, okay? So what's her birthday?
149
Why do I need to know her birthday, sir?
150
Well, you claim to know her.
151
So I just wanted you to know what her birthday is or where she's from, where she grew up.
152
That's great.
153
I prefer male drivers and female drivers, okay?
154
Well, that's absolutely true.
155
But you don't berate someone you don't know because her company sent her and that's not what you decided.
156
My mother just said that I can't.
157
She feels their own loss.
158
I mean, if you had an 18 -year -old son, sure.
159
I'm going to go to the men's room.
160
Can you see if you can get me a male driver, please?
161

162
Well, I will give you all my information.
163
And you can have whoever call me.

177

178
Yeah, I just kept pushing, and I wasn't having it.
179
Why not?
180
You don't know the woman.
181
I don't need to.
182
I don't need to know someone to defend them.
183
Your voice changes things.
184
Not aggression, not anything like that.
185
Just your voice.
186
Let someone know that they're not alone.
187
As the next flight's passengers fill the claim area,
188
we run our scene one last time who will speak up as our actor intensifies his toxic rhetoric
189

199
I don't know, man.
200
There's a lot of badass women drivers.
201
Yeah, I don't know about, yeah, there's a lot of bad women drivers.
202
Statistically, women are worse drivers than men.
203
It's a fact.
204
Why are women's insurance cheaper?
205
I don't know.
206
Because they get less accidents.
207
Oh.
208
I'm an insurance guy.
209
I'm telling you.
210
Insurance for women is cheaper.
211
I'm just letting you know.
212
I think you just need to call whatever the office is.
213
You don't need to insult her at this point.
214
Yeah, let's break it.
215
Let's break it, huh?
216
Hi, guys.
217
How are you?
218
I'm John Quinones.
219
And this is What Would You Do?
220
She's an actor.
221
The three of you were amazing.
222
You responded.
223
You stepped right in.
224
You were listening.
225
Right?
226
What did you think?
227
I thought he was a .
228
I mean, I feel better now for her.
229
Yeah, yeah, no, she's...
230
I feel better for her now.
231
I just wanted to protect her.
232
I wasn't gonna get involved with him, but I just wanted to remove her from the situation because women need to support other women.
233
Challenging him might be dangerous or a risk.
234
It could be.
235
Yeah, you know, it's not worth it.
236
But we are good drivers, by the way.
237
I believe you.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
