I first met Mason (whose nickname is Noody) back in 2016! He's one of the first people I interviewed actually. It was so fun seeing him half a decade later. You have grown so much Mason! You can watch our original interview at th-cam.com/video/Hx095GXg_ew/w-d-xo.html
I know everyone talks about the people/children bring interviewed, but I don’t think enough people highlight how amazing chris is when it comes to interacting with nonverbal or mentally disabled children. Chris really takes the time to understand how each child communicates, and works to communicate with them in the way they communicate best. Truly a man with a huge heart for what he does.
Marshal Mcluhan said that communication is about what is understood not what is said. Chris has a great ability to be understood because he has very little ego in his message. The dude rocks
Notice how responsive he is to the conversations. Just because someone is non-verbal, don't automatically assume that they don't understand what you are saying. Sometimes their receptive skills can be quite normal. Mason's parent's are beyond awesome. God really knew what He was doing when He sent Mason to them.
yep really. some people can understand language just fine but cant form sentences. my brother who has only half a cerebellum couldnt read until he was 8 (and didnt walk until he was 2 but when it happened it was out of nowhere) but understood and spoke verbal convos just fine. now his reading is basically where it should be but his math is still lagging, but its good enough at this point. other than that he is literally entirely independent and basically just does whatever lol.
Mason is intelligent; just on his own level. Sports are an organized activity and he can wrap his head around that. He doesn't just like the ball, the running, etc, but the 𝕘𝕒𝕞𝕖. Pretty smart! What a sweet, sensitive, fun young man! His parents are so patient and loving. I'm pretty sure he's exceeded expectations because he's just so bright.❤️
I think there's also a social, communication aspect. Like sports almost always involves people interacting, so when speech isn't much of an option playing sports and sharing sports enthusiasm is an alternate way of interacting and connecting.
The world needs more caring and loving people like Mason. He is such a sweet kid and the way he is with his Dad is just so adorable. Lots of good vibes and thoughts go out to that nice family ✌🙂
I love Mason so much. It's so amazing to see a child become so in love with something and his parents being so supportive. I hope he goes far in life. Thank you for sharing his story!!
Love to see videos on non verbal/ non speaking people on this channel. It's so important to understand that not all communication is done by speaking. ♥️
Mason is a cool dude. The part about the military homecomings is something that I can relate to, I like to watch as well. I can tell he is one caring, loveable soul.
Hey Chris. I’m 14, I was in the hospital for 2 months and it was very hard for me. I watched your vids every time u uploaded. It helped me to appreciate what god gave me. Because there is always someone who is in a worse position than so and be thankful to what god gave u. I’ve seen people without legs, barely breathing, no palms, no eyes. And I said to myself, hey maybe I’m not to sick after all. I started playing basketball again, playing soccer, and going to the gym. Thank you CHRIS
Mason is so pure, he is a gem in this wild crazy world, his parents are so lucky to have him....root for you Mason dear...keep being who you are..bless you always..
Mason is genuinely better at communicating than I am. He's so emotionally intelligent and he expresses himself perfectly, Really takes a smart person to do that
Just come up and talk to him/ her is the common message I hear when trying to get to know someone yet it's not something everyone does. I hope these videos are shaping people's interaction and understanding❤
What another amazing family. Hearing about Mason carying about people being in the ambulance when he hears the sound of it, stucks in my mind, what a wonderful human being . He want to keep everything fun und happy, this is an angel on earth.........loved this video.
I have a video of my brother returning from the military surprising his kids and now I'm extra heartwarmed imagining Mason getting so emotional over videos like that! Also, whoopee cushions rule.
Mason has such an energetic and positive loving spirit. People who are emotionally attuned and deeply empathetic like him are so important in this world. I smiled a lot during this video. Thank you for the smiles! 🙂 Great parents that support and love him so much, its clear to see. All the best for the future to you and your family ❤️
I just feel pure joy watching this. Mason is a chip off his dad! And his mom is so wonderful. I have an intellectually disabled son and I adore him to pieces. He's a rascal!!! So I can appreciate the charms of a fellow rascal! Cannot imagine him being any other way. My buddy. And it is so obvious how much Mason is loved and returns it to everyone. Thank you for sharing your wonderful boy! What a treasure.
Mason has grown up such a lot since 2016! What an amazing kid- so smart and I love his empathy towards others. Way to go, Mason! Chris, I think some of my favourite videos of yours are where you revisit friends you already met once- it almost feels like home when you do this. Thank you for everything that you do.
Mason thanks for making me and my kids giggle. They love scaring me too!! We are so happy to meet you and your parents. Have a wonderful day! You have made my day brighter!
His parents have a very good and sensitive parental style, which is one of the many reasons Mason is such a great and loving person. Loved the interview. ❤️❤️
Love you Mason! How special seeing that sweet relationship he has with his dad. It reminds me of watching my hubby loving our babies. ❤ keep shining your light in your own special way! ✨
Mason!! I also get super emotional over watching military personnel surprising their family members. Loved to learn about you Mason! Even if you have some differences, you are still so similar to everyone else between your care for others and your love of sports, and how much you love your parents! Thank you to Chris for interviewing Mason and his parents!
what a great video Chris! I loved all the outdoor play. Mason has lots of energy in the best way. Glad we were able to meet our new friend today. Thanks SBSK ❤️
mason is fantastic and he is seen to be very friendly, he is very lucky from his parents who are so adorable and supportive. i wish a lot of happiness to this great family! love from argentina 🤍
I have to tell you, I have watched so many of these videos and this is an amazing way to use your voice! Your honesty, patience and love shines through and is beautiful! You're breaking down so many walls and answering so many questions for children on up to grown adults. I hope you truly grasp the huge and positive impact this is having on others✌️💕🤟! Thank you!💕
Big ups to Masons parents. This would seem to be a big challenge in how much repetition Mason needs and how much energy Mason exudes. They seem like the perfect fit to love and connect with Mason on a daily basis. I am sure it can be a challenge but it is inspiring seeing their love and acceptance for Mason through all of his diagnosis. Seems like an awesome family. Keep up the great work!
As someone who has loved and played nearly all sports my whole life, and is now recovering from hip surgery in hopes to walk without pain again. Mason gives me a new outlook, just showing that the love of the sport is what matters. I look forward to a Chris followup with you to see where we both are, in time. Thank you for sharing your story
i just love seeing parents that are sooo loving and dedicated to their child, whether the child is disabled or not. Major props to them for being awesome and raising such an upstanding, fun young man!
We need more loving, caring , and respectful people more often. We need to show more kindness in this world. we aren't any different, we just learn differently and we are who we are! ❤️❤️
The part where he insisted dad to play along with them 7:58 , no matter what tool, he wanted everyone to play, is so special. The world needs more humans like Mason. Thank you for making this video. Edit: Just as his mom said "Everybody plays."
He has really amazing empathy and emotional intelligence! this was one of my favorite SBSK interviews. I think him and his parents are a treasure! I laughed quite a few times, he can definitely make people laugh haha. What a cool kid! Lots of perseverance despite his condition. I think he will live an extremely fulfilling life with all of his emotional empathy gifts and interest in sports
Thank you so much Mason/Noody for making my day so much better, for making me smile, and for brightening this world with your amazing personality and smile!
he has such a sweet, cherubic face...and such a mischievous streak, haha. i love how his parents seem to just roll with him, even as he presents challenges that surely would wear out any parent. you can see how much they love and adore him. it's especially heartening to see such a strong father-son bond - and even more to see such open, unguarded emotion in it. this video gave me all the warm fuzzies. 😊🧸
Thank goodness they turned comments back on. The parents of these amazing kids need to know that we love them as well! This channel has been silenced for too long for no reason. WB SBSK!
Mason seems like such a sweetheart!! Hes so full of positive energy and is such a laugh!! His interview made me smile, hes just so passionate and it's clear to see how much he loves sports!!
This was such a sweet video Chris! Mason seems like a very loving, fun, happy young man and it was just awesome learning about him and his family. I wish only great things for his future. Thanks Mason for sharing an afternoon in your life with all of us!
I didn't check this channel for a while and I'm so glad comments are back. I know it was heartbreak for you back then and I'm happy it changed. Keep on going my friend, you are truly amazing
Mason seems like a great person :) i'm glad to se3 when people who've had a bad hand dealt to them still work through their problems with a snile. We all need help and happines in our life, but when we havr to go it alone, that can be hard and people that cab weather their storm are an inspiration for myself on my own rainy days
I just wanna thank you for the existence of this channel and everything you do 🙏 It gives me glimpse of hope and faith in humanity. You are doing great things 🙌❤🌌
What an absolutely awesome kid. I always click these videos as soon as I see the notification because I know that I'm going to meet another amazing human being just living their best life.
Beautiful family and even Beautiful child! I love the bond between you all. I'm not into baseball but I would play with him any time ⚾️ much love to 💙💙💙
You are a very special person. You bring happiness to so many people no matter how they communicate you're instant friends. God bless you for bringing joy!
So sweet, empathetic, loving, full of joy and energy 😻 and your smile is contagious ❤️ If you were nearer I'd invite you to watch a soccer match at the stadium together. Lots of love and hugs from Italy

Glad you brought this up. Intelligence shows itself in different ways.
when he pressed “score a touchdown” then acted out a football throw! my dad has to re-explain the rules to me every super bowl man 😂
The dad said, "Gotta' love this kid." and he's right. It is impossible not to.
What a great father for real
Mason has a huge heart and he doesn’t need words to show this. We can all learn a lot from this amazing young man.
He died 2 days ago.

Somehow I felt like he was an empath even before they spoke about his concern for others and how he loves watching the reunion videos.
Mason is genuinely better at communicating than I am. He's so emotionally intelligent and he expresses himself perfectly, Really takes a smart person to do that
Just come up and talk to him/ her is the common message I hear when trying to get to know someone yet it's not something everyone does. I hope these videos are shaping people's interaction and understanding❤
his dad is so loving!
You can see the pride and love they have in each other it’s beautiful
That’s a good father. Need more fathers like this, desperately
The true unconditional love between this beautiful boy and his dad. Is just amazing. The pure joy in mason melts your heart. Mom you are amazing
Let's all get outside and play! Damn, it doesn't get much more simple than that. Thank you Mason my man, for reminding me. ⚾️🏈🏆
