Transcript

00:00I, this is supposed to be a nice story of helping an old DoorDash driver.

00:15When I see how slow he moves, and I think of him delivering to Chuck or Andy's house,

00:21and how angry he would be.

00:25He's here, he's here.

00:26He's still not here, though.

00:27I wonder how you would react to that, but there is this 73-year-old DoorDash delivery driver

00:34who was captured in a ring camera, and now that video has gone viral

00:40with, of course, a GoFundMe set up to support him.

00:47Here's the story of this very slow 73-year-old DoorDash delivery man from CBS 8 in San Diego.

00:5673-year-old Jose Frembras delivers more than just meals.

01:00He's delivering inspiration.

01:02After his story went viral on TikTok, the community responded with a special delivery of their own.

01:09Jose Frembras walks a little slow these days, but his limp has not slowed him down.

01:14I'm going to do something to keep moving.

01:18If I didn't do it, I want to be sitting in a wheelchair.

01:22These days, he's traded his semi-truck for a sedan, making DoorDash delivery starting at 4 a.m.

01:27He has a cool look.

01:28I'm still supporting myself.

01:31If I want to eat something, I'm going to get it.

01:34I'm not going to ask my daughters or my sons.

01:36But the order Marcia De La Torre made one morning to their national city home changed everything.

01:41I was talking to her, like, you know, you need to stop ordering so much DoorDash until she's like, well, look at the video.

01:47Their ring camera captured Jose carefully climbing the street.

01:52I'd be like, the ghost of a cowboy's here with your food?

01:55I swear to God.

01:56You know, they did that contest where they're like, if you see a ghost, you see a ghost on your wing cam.

02:04You could have sent that in like, you're not going to believe this, a cowboy ghost.

02:07An old West lawman's ghost is here with your food.

02:12And you know she ordered breakfast, so it's coffee.

02:14I'm sure it's freezing by the time it gets to you.

02:17Oh, poor old guy.

02:20Determined to complete his mission.

02:21And I saw the video and I'm like, oh, it was just...

02:24Just somebody that old to see working still, you know, and he barely could walk up our stairs.

02:31Luis De La Torre posted the delivery on TikTok and then went to his body shop, Luis Garage, in National City.

02:36An hour later, the video went viral.

02:38You're right.

02:38He had to walk down the stairs backwards.

02:40When you listen, when any of us start taking the stairs backwards, that's it, right?

02:45That's dangerous, too.

02:47It is.

02:47I mean, I don't know.

02:49I can see where you might feel like...

02:51Those boots.

02:52At least if I fall forward.

02:55He didn't have to go forward.

02:56Towards the steps instead of forward towards the ground, I guess.

03:03Why did he opt to do it?

03:04Maybe, like, if he pivots to turn, it'll snap everything.

03:06It's too much.

03:07That's too much.

03:08How long does it take for him to turn?

03:11I can pivot, but I'll end up in the hospital.

03:14We're going to be here a while.

03:15Jorge posted the delivery on TikTok and then went to his body shop, Luis Garage, in National

03:19City.

03:20An hour later, the video went viral.

03:22Now there's over a million views with an overwhelming community response.

03:26It went up to, like, 2,000 people just contacting me.

03:30The body shop owner started a GoFundMe.

03:32And in just three days, nearly 1,500 strangers raised $26,000 for Jose.

03:38You got to open it up.

03:39Jose had no idea about the GoFundMe until De La Torre presented the check.

03:43Oh, my goodness.

03:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:49Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's right.

03:52It's too much.

03:53How much I owe you?

03:54No, no, no.

03:55You don't know.

03:55It's nothing.

03:56That's yours.

03:57It's all the TikTok, all the social media.

03:59Everybody helped out.

04:00Everybody raised money for you.

04:02His daughter, Vanessa, watches tearfully as her father receives the surprise of his lifetime.

04:07I'm proud of him.

04:08He's my dad.

04:09Jose, humble as always, drips the check with gratitude.

04:15I never see this kind of money in my life.

04:19And I appreciate to everyone for whatever they did.

04:22And I'm happy.

04:24Yeah.

04:25And God bless to everyone.

04:27In National City, Abbey Black, CBS 8.

04:30So he doesn't even understand how that happened.

04:33No.

04:34No.

04:34He's like, what social clue?

04:36How have I just happened?

04:37Tickety-tock.

04:37Tickety-tock social media.

04:39Something about a clock.

04:40However it happened, I'm just thankful.

04:43How much do I owe you?

04:45Steph, I owe you money.

04:47Where's the TikTok pay?

04:49Who do I pay for that?

04:50Nice.

04:54Just, it might be frustrating if he was delivering to you.

04:59Yeah.

04:59I mean, we got to have him not have to deliver anymore.

05:04And hopefully he won't have to.

05:06I don't think you're going to slow him down.

05:09Well, he can't go much slower than he's going.

05:12That's what I mean.

05:13I don't think you can really slow him down much more than he's going.

05:17And he's not going to stop.

05:18No.

05:18He's not going to stop.

05:2126K is not going to get it.

05:22It's not really, unfortunately, enough.

05:24It helps, but.

05:26Nope.

05:27He's going to still be having to do that.

05:29You know how much one of those bedazzled shirts costs?

05:32So much.

05:33Oh, man.

05:33No, they're not expensive.

05:35They are expensive.

05:37Those hats.

05:38The boots.

05:39The boots are expensive.

05:41They're fancy.

05:42Do you know, listen, how much of the 26K is going right to sweet wardrobe?

05:48So much.

05:49So much.

05:50So much.

05:50Stop it.

05:51Guys, so much.

05:52No, he'll just stop.

05:54No.

05:54Doing DoorDash.

05:55He is not going to stop.

05:56You're not going to stop a guy like that.

05:58Maybe he could do something else.

06:00What's he going to do?

06:01I don't know.

06:02Like cowboy rustler.

06:04He's a can't.

06:04Maybe a greeter.

06:05I feel like he'd make more money as a greeter than a. . . .

06:09I think so, too.

06:10Well, he gets up at 4 a.m.

06:11Yeah.

06:12So he's doing DoorDash for like, you know, 18 hours a day.

06:15Oh, yeah.

06:16Well, and that's only three orders.

06:18It takes him that long.

06:19It's 20 hours.

06:20You're right.

06:21I ordered breakfast.

06:22It arrived at 4 p.m.

06:23It's only 15 bucks.

06:24Yeah, that's nice that they helped him out.

06:29Yeah.

06:29Remember that guy who saved the baby?

06:31Yeah.

06:32And he got nothing.

06:32Oh, my.

06:33Nothing.

06:34Nothing.

06:35Nope.

06:36Saved a baby.

06:37Saved a baby.

06:38This guy's just real slow.

06:40Right.

06:41Sometimes it's all you have to be is just super slow.

06:43Yeah.

06:44Yeah.

06:44Be the first real slow old DoorDasher.

06:46Oh, man.

06:47It's all the lottery.

06:48It is.

06:48Yeah.

06:48Now I hope that video of me on the ice gets out.

06:51Oh, yeah.

06:52Maybe they'll race.

06:53Yeah, look, it's a radio guy.

06:54He can barely move on the ice.

06:56Oh, when I fell at Jimmy John's on the ice.

06:57Oh, yeah.

06:58Oh, yeah.

06:59Maybe.

07:00God, that'd be great.

07:01Maybe our only GoFundMes will take off.

07:05Yeah.

07:06I was going to say maybe our OnlyFans will take off.

07:08No.

07:08Well, if we do that, we can make some money.

07:11For sure.

07:12If we do OnlyFans of us falling.

07:17They make falling content.

07:19See, I can't do that because when I fall, it'll be too hilarious and it'll go viral and nobody

07:23don't get me any money.

07:24Oh, man.

07:24That's awful.

07:25Yeah.

07:26Yeah.

07:26No
