Chad Johnson made quite a few headlines last year after being arrested for a domestic violence dispute–in which he was accused of headbutting his wife, sending her to the hospital–and subsequently being released from his contract with the Miami Dolphins. He went on Twitter around that time to vent about being unemployed, and it looks like things haven’t changed much on the job front…but he’s making the most of it.

Johnson recently met a homeless man named “Pork Chop” and decided to buy him more than just the beer he asked for. The two hit the town, going on a shopping trip and then out to some clubs, with Johnson tweeting updates about it the entire time. When asked later if he had a long-term plan to help his new friend, Johnson said he’s doing everything in his power to change things for Pork Chop.

Spent my whole day with Robert “PorkChop” he doesn’t know his last name, at Urban Outfitters, taking him to club Dream for an hour or so
