I like Michael’s demeanor. I hope he continues to stay safe on the streets.

His energy is infectious, he really draws you in. As always, thanks Mark for giving us a chance to get to know people we wouldn’t otherwise meet.

A very interesting life story ... and he's only 52!! I could listen to his stories for hours. He is definitely an intelligent fella, which a broad vocabulary, 100's of incredible experiences that haven't turned him into a loser ... he's humble, amusing, and frankly, seems pretty happy on his exterior!

He said he dabbles here and there and gets back on track when he sees himself slipping. He even said he's strong enough to have a handful full of dope and not over do it like out of Towner's that get strung tf out. He likes the hustle and has a dependable network. He's another middle man between you and a dealer. I know a few people like that. He's a cool dude. I'm not knocking him. What he does is his business and he put it out there like that

Everybody has something to give. Seriously. The life this guy has lived since childhood….wow. No child should ever be witness to such things, but boy do I enjoy his adult stories he shares now. He’s a sweetheart. Thank you Michael.

What a unique and interesting fellow. It seems Skid Row has been hemmed right into his soul. I feel for the small child inside who was exposed to the unthinkable. He seems very gracious and his teachings may save those who listen and observe. Huge blessing to you bro! Stay on the up side. ✌🏼

What a refreshing interview. I enjoy listening to Michael, very humble and intelligent human being

This man is a true soldier and survivor of Skid Row. He speaks tons of facts about how youngsters arrive to Skid Row from out of town. SPEAK HEAR AND SEE NO EVIL is the way to survive in Skid Row also staying humble. "MIKE" you're a awesome man. Thank you for your story.

He is a very likeable man with a great deal of Wisdom. The interview was enjoyable.

That was the best interview you’ve had Mark. Out of all the interviews I’ve watched, I could rewatch that one many times. What a guy! Reminds me of me a bit.

bring this bloke back one day , what a legend

I could listen to this guy talk all day. Such a great interview!

Glad he vouches for those who are victims of gangstalking. Majority of people either don't know anything about it, or say it is paranoid BS. I too, with the intent to study and find out, have observed it actually occuring upon others.. It is a very organized thing that happens. Often times police forces or sheriff offices are heavily involved, along with local and larger government entities.

Love ya bro,from Florida 🌴❤😍✌

One of the best interviews on this channel. So dope Wish I could hear more stories from em

Just finished watching. Super enjoyed this dude. I truly hope to see him back on here soon. The MAYOR of Skid Row Mr. Michael Jackson.

There's been a such a great array of interviews. Michael is the BEST thus far! He's a light worker, a special soul who's experienced Life, more than any of us ever will! I have never been to LA, so I say I have lived a very sheltered life! This gentle soul not only is a survivor, he has experienced life in such ways, none of us haven't even known or will never know. His outlook is humble, as he says, he has experienced PTSD, his way of saying he can hear someone breathing from "being in a home"-again none of us as souls, could ever imagine what that is, or would be-this is his way of life and he has peeled back the onion of life down to the last skin(s) to share what life is life in it's pure form as someone who lives on the streets-one step away from life or death. He is the example of what is said it's a fine line between life & death. This man has truly struck a cord within all of us He's a a mixture of many facets of life, a sociologist-a survivor who may not have climbed Mt Everest but truly has climbed the mountains of survival of life itself! Michael you are an amazing soul. His wisdom we all can learn and take strands of his thoughts ,memories and apply them to our own lives, whether you live in the city or the suburbs, such an example of what humanity is. Thank you for such an awakening.

Lol this guy is wise. At the end there, never burrow. On the flip side, something we can relate to a little more. Don't ever let your family burrow money, you give it to them, or you dont. If they end up paying you back, great. If they dont, great. It was a gift.

Michael is very jovial, has a terrific positive vibe. It was nice to listen to someone that is making the best of their situation and spreading humanity around in a generous way. I do hope that he never gets tempted by the very caustic substances around him. God Bless! 💜

Could listen to this guy all day. Please update for another interview

This was an incredible story by an incredible storyteller! I was frozen in disbelief through a lot of it and had to rewind to listen to it again. I hope he continues to stay safe and lucky!

I loved this interview so much. Michael is awesome!

Dear Michael, Your joyful demeanour made my day. You have a bright soul. You show us that perception is everything. Your grateful positive spirit makes you the one of the richest men in Los Angeles. Your daughter is blessed to have you. Blessings to you Michael and many blessings to you Mark ✨

Wow, I could have listened to him for hours. Thankyou 🙏

You should really look into having more people discuss gangstalking as mentioned at 10:00. It sounds like you were interested, and the subject matter is something I have experienced. It is a very nuances topic, and I still do not know if it was a real experience but it feels real and is the scariest thing in the world.
