    I have a “papa cat” in my life. he was a white, 52 yr old, north carolinian man that got the nickname “gringo” ,,having worked on a masonry crew full of Mexicans. after suffering a heart attack, gringo, legally named “mark”, was kicked off the crew. with homelessness being the alternative, my father allowed him to move into my house that was at the time the residence of 6-10 teenage-young adult men. gringo offered us loads and loads of wisdom, but it was always spoken in backwards riddles as if he was a character from “Alice in wonderland”. Some things he would say were obviously the ramblings of a heavily drunk, ex-crack addicted, psychosis having, war veteran. But he did give me and all my brothers/friends a unique perspective on life.

    LIKE ALWAYS… Tommy G managed to create more content about people who chose not to follow society’s “norm” and did it in a educational manner without shaming or degrading these individuals. Consistently Tommy G is able to give us all a inside look of people that are homeless , drug addicted, law-breaking, and sometimes dangerous.. all while not putting people down or exploiting them in a negative manner.. Thank you Tommy G for being such the compassionate, nonjudgmental guy that you are! The world would be a better place if more people had a good heart like you.

      He said spin ping pong club which there actually is one in Milwaukee and there is a actress named Susan Sarandon that started the company and the first one out of New York was in Milwaukee so he might not be as much of a character as people think he is because that'd be quite a random fact to know and especially to immediately think of it as soon as Tommy said Milwaukee.

I stayed in slab city during pandemic for a month or so. It truly is a mixed bag. There’s a few things of note. The history of Slab city is interesting! It was a WWII military base, then in was a bomb testing zone then it was garbage dump now it is what is today. Slab city is incredibly special place.

    Love hangin with the folks and mainly to skate the gritty DIY skate spot, every time our friends and i make a trip back out there, there’s always new stuff and obstacles added into that gritty skate spot or being built as we show up, it’s sick!

    I could listen to Dude answer questions all day. He clearly thought before everything he said, and his comments were intriguing. His voice also slightly reminded me of Vizzinni from the Princess Bride.
    Guess I'm just a big ol' nerd like POPPA CAT!!

      This’ll probably be drowned in the comments and no one will believe me, but that’s actually my Uncle. I won’t give his name out because I respect his privacy and he’s keen on keeping it, but he’s a good dude. He’s essentially a nomad that likes, as he states at family gatherings, “following the sun.” Lots of stories I can share though.

    This man is seriously one of the greatest people/journalists/interviewers I've seen in a long time. His questions, outlook and personality are so on point that it keeps people calm, ready and willing to answer pretty much all his questions.

    The most interesting part about this is the ending and it is something I will always remember. I am a true introvert. I always wondered whether I was, because I'm quite shy but I used to tell my mum every detail about my day

    As a Slabber thank you forgiving an honest view by the way Prince isn't a local he got there after me in December 2022 and is gone but there is an interesting story between him, Luis "Daddy" and the burned out minivan and a peace deal brokered by Mojo and I if you ever want to know more about that for yourself.

    I stumbled across your account by searching for vids on Baltimore. I live in Baltimore City (Eastside) one of your more recent vids you were primarily West Side and it was such a well done video. As is this one and the other 5+ I have watched this morning. These are better than the docu series & whatnot on Netflix and Hulu. Keep doing what you are doing man. Incredible work! I’m going to put you on to everyone I know! We love our city here in Baltimore baby! Do you have tiktok?

    I almost miss certain parts of Covid in this weird way…my high school friends and I no longer had obligations of work, so we were able to catch up and hangout all day like we did when we were 16 again haha I also used to love going out somewhere to smoke a blunt and there being nobody at all in the streets. For a time so hectic, it gave me so much peace.
