Actually I believe that he lied to us about his own age! possibly in a little hope that maybe that could help him a little bit more just in case that someone could give him a little job or something like that! Just as he lied to us also on telling us that he didn't know that "Beverly Hills" was a rich zone! Come on! Could somebody actually believe him that lie? But that's also very understandable and it all even makes perfect sense when he says that: "everything happens because of something! and for a reason"! .... because he obviously knows very well that in order to get something or anything in your life you always have to be in the right place at the right time! somehow, somewhere and anywhere! and the right age might help a lot on that too!

@@ramonruizgiono3873 Yep. When people say they are 29, it usually means that they are in their mid to late 30s etc. People do this all the time on online dating.

I was homeless for 5 yrs, because of my alcoholism. While i was out there i had all kinds of excuses, my mom was a drunk, parents were both abusive, i suffered severe abuse as a child and as adult, i had a litany of excuses. One day shit happened(long story short), i decided i wanted a better life for me and my doggie. I got off my ass, quit the drinking, quit the excuses and today i have been sober and off the streets for 5 + years with my sweet doggie. I wake up everyday and make a gratitude list, it is pages long each day as i will never forget what ots like to have nothing and today i have so much. Hope this guy gets with God and gets his life in order, it isnt easy, and it doesnt happen over night but it can be done.

Whenever i get into a conversation with one, its very much like the above in the video. They're fairly interesting, except they just can't sort life out. In this particular study documentary, they didn't even want him to know it was a setup.. They allowed him to find the briefcase....

I was thinking the same thing. He's letting his family history hold him back. Its not easy to let it go, but you must if you want to move forward. He's got to forgive them all and decide he's now in control.

Nice interview very interesting! Thanks!

It's good that you're showing us what's going on. Like how you respect people no matter their state in life.

I wish this man the best. He is very well spoken, intelligent, and plenty capable.

Love you German and your love for humanity ❤

Good job, German in Venice, trying to get him to take responsibility for his life. Some just don’t want to and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Great interview GIV!! Congrats on over 100,000 subs. Next step 1,000,000!!!

Happy birthday and good interview. Seems although the guy is very well spoken, he is waiting for some miracle to happened.He definitely looks older than 29. Anyway all the best!

Prayers go out to you and I'm sorry for what you've been through and I need to start being thankful for what I have instead of being negative I just got to be positive cuz life has a reason you're right. I agree with you and I'll say a prayer for you I'm sorry for your issues I hope you have a bright future. 🙏💪✝️🇺🇸

Another great video Mike, I'm certain you made this guys day by having a conversation with him. I think that what you do is very encouraging and inspiring for other people to see that homeless people deserve a chance and should never be totally discriminated against. The more people see your videos the better the world will become and help put an end to homelessness.

Having dealt with a lot of homeless people, they have a tremendous amount of guilt the longer they are on the streets, due to a feeling of failure and when they are reunified with their families, the families are always ecstatic to not just know there alive but hug them and tell them where missed and loved. Every time, never seen it go the other way.

Beverly Hills is for celebrities, basically. I agree with one commenter, he needs to do some volunteer work,and make connections, because isolation can be dangerous. He could use a support group for abuse survivors as well. Many homeless people had to leave home too early because of a toxic family,and can't safely return to such people. Thing is, back in the 60's- 70's, you could leave home and do well quickly,if you got a job, found a cheap place, stay away from early marriage and children. Now, prices are insane and competition fierce.

Great attitude. The best of luck to you. God Bless.

29?! Geez, he looks like he's in his late 40's! It's funny because I was thinking to myself, "he's had a hard life he's probably younger like 35." But nope. He's 29.

He reminds me of "The Homeless Consultant" - a guy in Minnesota who lives in his car. He has a youtube channel where he whines & moans about how his situation is everyone's fault but his own.

@@DavidWilliams-cn4ho The poor and homeless of Christ's time are not the ones in ours. There is ample opportunity for help, jobs, counseling, housing, job training, hell even job offers. There have always been sick, mental cases, abuse victims, etc throughout history sure even narcissists and sociopaths. The difference is that in today's world there is so much help, understanding, and mercy yet they still do not learn to fish for a lifetime but to be fed for a day. All they want is money. Money is the root of all evil. Christ was extremely judgemental and a political figure. Throw out the rest of the bible and only focus on the gospels (there are only 4) and Jesus in his own words then come back and tell me I'm incorrect. To come up here holier than thou you have no idea the amount of help I have given my community or fellow man. It is not wrong to call a spade a spade, a rapist a rapist, a narcissist a narcissist, a homeless a homeless. These are grown, able bodied men. They are the only ones holding themselves back these days. Sure there are drugs and addiction but there is also treatment which used to never exist. Pity and excuse making is just as bad as soft racism where you think you are better and know better and that the rest are too stupid or inferior to help themselves. I say shine a light on it with the TRUTH and not be afraid of the truth nor shame and judgement. In fact the world needs more shame and judgement. It's this free wheeling application of any lifestyle regardless of how low and dysfunctional as somehow having some sort of dignity to it that has only grown street culture and it's acceptance.

Exactly, never mind if we were to ignore everything from the media about that sign alone, and let’s say that he was living under a rock, but the guy hasn’t wondered why every third car that passes buy is worth at least $100,00? Plus I am surprised that he’s been allowed be there for a year without anyone in the neighborhood complaining, much less the cops just wanting to know who he is. People called the cops on me twice from my neighborhood of 17 years, once as I was walking my dog at night, and the second time I was tracking The International Space Station from my own backyard hill. Yet this guy sleeping just off the sidewalk ( and near a school zone no less) without any police interaction, ether he’s lying, or that’s becoming a $hit neighborhood. I’ll say it again, I’m all for helping the homeless, but I don’t want homeless people settling up camp in my neighborhood, especially since I have a young daughter who insists on going out on jogs at all random hours, but ya, he definitely knows why he’s camped in front of that sign, I’m just surprised that the neighbors, ( never mind the cops) have no problems with him being there.
