“I’m always working I’m too busy to get a job” is the best line I’ve heard yet 2:33

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.

As soon as he said " yeah thats why i usually charge people a 100 bucks for an interview" tommy whats like welp.... "thanks for showing us around" lmaoo

This is an awesome example of unbiased reporting. It's extremely rare. Most do everything to search out the problems and perpetuate them or they promote the problems then cry when they don't profit. No one deserves to make a profit off other people who are suffering.

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.

Wow you interviewed Luis. He is one of the slabs most troubled souls. He ain't lying either. He has been accused if murder and all kinds of other crazy stuff. He is one of those Manson types. Looks for people down on their luck. Gives them help, then manipulates and controls them. Women have said some crazy things about him. Just be careful. He is a leach.

Great documentary about the people of slab city…really impressed with the great interviews!

Aww you met DNA! They are such a sweet person. Incredibly talented artist! Too bad you missed out seeing their art down near the south of town. 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. I felt safe if you can imagine, and I am a woman in her thirties.

the owner of the house with the red roof is so fun i absolutely love the way he delivers his sentences

Papa Cat is fantastic. LOL "You can train a monkey to dribble a basketball ,but you cannot train one to build a bridge" Damn

Always puttin out them gems Tommy!! I really like Slab City and met many incredible people from all walks of life, been out there over handful of times.. Such lovely an vibrant people. We’ll usually bring some goods for them, water, food and a little bit of cash. 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! And ads so much more flavor into out clips we end up filming. Never a dull moment there!! 👊

Very well done. So right about Introverts and talking. John Muir obviously was more comfortable alone in the Mountains, but it was also reported that if he was around a campfire with others? No one could get a word in.

This is very informative. I appreciate the video brotha. I had been watching Tyler , and I’m odd about who I will listen too. I like that your videos are raw and you’re sincerely intrigued. I love it. I was in the army for 5 years then became a firefighter for 13. My passion is helping others. Keep reporting brotha. 🙏 God Bless

I won't ever forget when I watched an episode and the dude said there are at least three millionaires living in slab city.

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!!

Best part about slab city for KZreadrs and content creators is every year or two you’re guaranteed to find new residents and stories etc

Perfectly stated at the end… be kind, be thoughtful, listen to each other. We have a lot to learn. As people we can be so much better by doing those things and not trying to talk over one another. ✌️

Watching you and Brandon grow over the last couple years is SO fucking awesome.

“Yea I was a nerd” 1 minute earlier “I had a .22 and a straight razor”

I worked at SPiN in Milwaukee from the open for a number of years before I moved west. I remember when Susan visited, she was part owner. One of our chefs saved half of the meal she ate to try and sell on eBay lol.
