    The dude in the button-up Polo is needed and should be protected in his community. He's a gift. He has the ability to steer the young dudes on to the right path. We all make mistakes. The dude is sharp, articulate, dressed well and he has a story to tell. His story could motivate others to change and do well. Salute to him.

    I like that Tommy doesn't try to flip the script and act ghetto when he's in the hood. He's just himself and I think people like that.

    I can't believe that guy was a CO, and found himself locked up with the same guys he used to supervise. They always say that CO's have it hard on the other side, but I guess if you give respect, you get respect back, and that carries over. It's awesome that those guys who knew him as a guard, had his back when he became an inmate.

    Bro I love these interviews. You really pull up, show respect and drop a lil knowledge based off of your own experiences through life; but most importantly you just ask important questions! You show sides of the hood that regular America don't see and you let the people explain how and why they are the way that they are. To me that's REAL journalism. Big Dogs Gotta Eat!!

    This is an inspirational video for all people in "trenches" to show that they could truly change and to show the "culture" of different hoods.

    Lived in Philly (near Italian market) for 19 years before moving back to NC. The city NEVAH leaves you. The people, the hustle, the food, the culture. That cold winter wind that used to hit me hard when I walked out my my door made me a better, tougher person. Stay up Philly 💚🤍💛

    Chester native transplanted to Philly (and now parts beyond)... I met a lot of nerdy suburban kids in college, and you remind me of a lot of them. They got the respect of my hometown friends because they were always chill and real. They didn't act all weird and hyper like 'OMG I'm hanging with the tough kids, lookit me!' They had the right amount of respect with their curiosities, and they knew when it was time to mind your own business, and when it was OK to ask what questions. We weren't badasses or anything, but growing up in rough neighborhoods you meet all kinds. Also you're all packed in so closely, you learn how to delicately handle shady people and situations, because you've got to live with these people. You can't be going around giving people the evil eye or walk up to someone with a bravado of superiority. Much respect for what you do, please keep bringing these conditions to light. Maybe one day Philly can come back from all this. I miss my city. 😞

    The dude who was cellmates with Bernie Madoff is an inspiration. You can actually hear how driven he is when he talks, dude has that charm. I'm sure Bernie seen it and shown him a lot of things, which in turn made him who he is today. RIP Bernie Madoff man, never meet him but I feel like I did.

    I was born and raised in Philly. Was able to move out to the suburbs. This video is philly spot on. Everything runs on respect. Most violence happens because of disrespect. Everyone’s nice for the most part. Neighborhoods just live in poverty and it’s a huge drug problem down k&a.

    I work in this area and it’s surreal to see you walk around Butler Zoo. Philly is full of great & brilliant people. Thanks for showing the real Philadelphia to the people 💪

    Tommy literally risks it every video for our entertainment and showing us these places most of us will never go to or see like this.

  • @melindaaimeeroth5580

    There is so much intelligence, talent, and warmth in the neighborhood. Thank you. I worked 30 years in the schools and took buses and trains and when I saw this, I missed it all.

    This is INSANE . I live in the philly suburbs, always have. I back in 2015-2016 I was about 19/20 & was ALWAYS in philly. I had no fear of anything. I mean I was at the Diamond Street projects, PHA projects & all that. But in the past few years, a lot has changed. You wont CATCH me in philly unless I absolutely have to. Nowadays people/kids are doing crimes like robbing & shooting in broad daylight AND IN FRONT OF THE POLICE. People have no fear of death or jail anymore In philly. The police make it no better because there will literally be a shootout a block away from a police station & they wont act on it until the gun fire stops because they dont want to lose their lives anymore. Its really crazy out there because people just dont care. And dont get me started on the catalytic converters !
