00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.220
All right. Meanwhile, imagine having a viral video

00:00:02.229 --> 00:00:05.480
with five million views, but it's not even using

00:00:05.488 --> 00:00:08.000
a cell phone. That's the paradox of a Greek

00:00:08.009 --> 00:00:11.448
great grandma touching hearts all over the world just by

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.769
doing her thing. Look at this, just a

00:00:15.778 --> 00:00:22.179
Greek grandma, watering the garden, making a snack

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:29.019
, entertaining the world sneering at cell phones didn't stop

00:00:29.030 --> 00:00:36.770
this 93 year old from becoming a tiktok sensation.

00:00:38.259 --> 00:00:40.810
We didn't sit here and expect to be famous.

00:00:40.819 --> 00:00:43.789
It all started with the flip of a mattress.

00:00:43.798 --> 00:00:46.060
It was crazy. All she does this every week

00:00:46.069 --> 00:00:48.429
, every two weeks, she flips her mattress just

00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.209
so it doesn't cave on one side. Numbers started

00:00:51.219 --> 00:00:54.270
ticking up gaming like 100,000 views a day and we're

00:00:54.279 --> 00:00:55.798
like, no way it's gonna hit a million and

00:00:55.810 --> 00:01:00.719
it hit a million and up. What quality makes

00:01:00.728 --> 00:01:03.279
her like? The Kim Kardashian of Greek grandma Yaa

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.888
. Sophia's boundless energy because she really is a tank

00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:14.159
like she's strong needs no translation. Happy graduation before

00:01:14.168 --> 00:01:17.278
her granddaughter started recording. Sometimes we talked to her

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:19.370
sometimes we just let her do her thing. This

00:01:19.379 --> 00:01:26.638
work ethic helped Sophia survive. So basically her life

00:01:26.650 --> 00:01:27.400
was very hard, you know, she, she

00:01:27.409 --> 00:01:30.290
lost her husband at a very young age of,

00:01:30.299 --> 00:01:33.480
she was 32 he, she, he was 36

00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:34.500
. So she had to raise two young kids by

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:38.469
herself in Norwalk. The widow worked long days toiling

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.659
in a factory then washing dishes in a bar.

00:01:42.668 --> 00:01:47.719
She knows that she's a strong lady. So Instagram

00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:56.838
glory. No big deal. Wow. She doesn't

00:01:56.849 --> 00:01:59.808
care. Coffee cake and cold cream companies might want

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:02.500
to take a meeting. The Theodoridis family knows their

00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:07.040
Ya Yas Vigor is a gift giving the world her

00:02:07.049 --> 00:02:09.788
grandma to share. Since her viewers love her.

00:02:09.798 --> 00:02:13.717
She loves them too. In Norwalk, Suzanne Gold
