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.
Yeah just bypass the big media, which is by its nature unavoidably didactic and condescending, and pretentious. They puff themselves up acting as though they have a responsibility to society to report in a certain way, but they’re just paid faces.
Yeah. This man makes money filming them, when these homeless people can film themselves and document their own lives and the lives of their fellow homeless people. They should benefit off their own situation. I'm not saying German in Venice is purposely exploiting them and their situation for money, but it also feels like that's what's been anyway cause he does make money just saying, "look at these homeless people and their camps." The homeless people themselves can do that and make that money.
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.
@@LuckysMotorcycles thank you. I used to be ashamed of my story..but i have come to believe i need to share it. Maybe someone that is down can read it and see that no matter how far down u go...u can get right and have a beautiful life.
I was going to say exactly what you said . I too was raised like this homeless guy and when I got out of the military I was homeless too for a while and living on the streets of Sacramento . 13 years later I was building a brand new home with a wonderful wife and family ! Don't tell me it can't be done ........................ get off your ass
so true, deal with that family of origin pain and then let it go! he’s a grown man now, and letting the past keep him homeless and who knows what else! 😉
As soon as he said “I don’t think it’s me” the video was over. He’s just “waiting for someone to help”, I feel for him as another human but man no ones coming. No one is going to show up one day and do it for you. Step one, work on looking presentable, step two get a crap job. Step three show up everyday. If you can do that, look for a better job. Keep going after that. Stay away from negative people, and do you.
You make it sound simple, but I think you’re right. I know it’s easier to talk about it than to actually do it, and some are not able to follow your advice, but this guy seems like he could take those steps to get out if he wanted to.
I agree with you. Sure he needs ppl to help but in the meantime he has to do as much as he can to help him so as well. He can go get clean clothes at a shelter for one.
I felt the same way, some of us feel that help is gonna fall from the sky, hey it might, but most likely not. You gotta go out there and be the change you want.
The police and the city of Beverly Hills NEEDS to get this man some shelter ASAP he’s very bright and I’m sure a roof over his head, a car & a job would put him on the right track but it’s hard to even get one of those resources alone when you are homeless.
@@nervousordo Yes, at one point he said, "It has absolutely nothing to do with me",. and all of the "Inexplicable" things that happened to him. He's blaming everyone but himself, when he really needs to look inward.
How about you putting up some money for the homeless. They sure can talk. If they worked as hard as they flap their mouths they could pay their own way and not suck energy off of others. GROW UP.
Let's face it, the people of Beverly Hills do NOT care about the Homeless. It's time for the Beverly Hills folks to create a safe spot in Beverly Hills for the homeless. Beverly Hills people can show the world how to do it right.
Lord father up above, please help this homeless man. He seems to be very intelligent and articulate. There's gotta be more for him, he's suffered long. If you happen to see this BLESSINGS UPON YOU BROTHER FROM THE HEART.
omg this video has upset me so much.. why is he waiting for someone ELSE to realize his potential!!?? the beauty of america is realizing your OWN potential and having the guts to go for it! we all have shitty circumstances. come on.. we're not this weak. this is a good guy, i feel him on the soul searching and philosophical/esoteric vibe.. but come on. self-reliance. forge your own path. teach your kids things that don't get taught in school, love on them. raise them to feel secure. teach them to stand their ground. what happened to accountability! this guy blamed EVERYTHING on others. no one is addressing that. he's an autonomous adult who can make his own decisions and path now, life doesn't have time for mommy and papa issues. we have to pick up ourselves by the boot straps. this is what america is all about! i'm so tired of these excuses from everyone. demand better public educations so kids can get classes on building generational wealth. teach more entrepreneurial.. teach kids things of VALUE.. and love on them. this guy got a bum deal in like, but come on . i'm tired of "hopefuls" being a drain on LA's non-existent resources. people come here to travel or camp out or XYZ because they either get sent here by bus, they like the weather, or because our benefits program reward people to come. this is not fiscally sustainable nor humane. i worked on 6th street and there was a homeless person dead for a few days. and no one knew. i was like.. this smells BAD. no one cared or listened or responded to me. right outside a restaurant, too. and this was before the virus. turns out, someone was laying dead.. in a tent.. for who knows how long. you can literally DIE on the streets of LA.. and no one would notice. unbelievable
He is partially right. Getting a job or gaining success is not solely up to ones self, someone else must be willing to hire or buy what your selling. A sad truth people with communication difficulties understand all too well.
If you can't count on either parent to feel safe and heard, I would think I wouldn't matter and unfortunately have a hard time to believe in myself and than how could it be possible to literally "have" self worth? Aghhhh💔I am so fortunate, so why am I crying?
Some people never get over childhood trauma. I hate that not every child is born into a safe and loving family. Some children have lived harder lives in their first 5 years on this earth than other people have in their whole lifetimes. I wish all children were safe, cared for, and protected.
Not every time having an unfortunate life is to be blamed on the person. If you were not loved a cared as a child you might not be able to do many social things.
The British did a documentary once, where they allowed a homeless person to find a briefcase of $150k cash to see if it would give them the stepping stone to get out of the situation they're at. Unfortunately the first thing they did was hit the bar, buy everyone a drink, celebrate every night for a few months, before ending back up on the streets. He talked a good talk too.
@ I wish i could find it myself. It was a good few yrs ago. Maybe even 10-15yrs ago. He DID get into an apartment, for the few months. Kept saying how he was going to sort his life out. They often have very interesting stories, and many are actually charismatic, and IMHO could make a career in sales. They often seem to share the same personality traits. 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.... The crew kept following him, which unfortunately was mostly to the bar. He was a generous in that he kept buying everyone drinks. But before you knew it, he was back living under an underpass and right back to square one.
The rule is what ever your situation one is in when they get a large chunk of money it will be magnified a 100 times. The reason why 80% of lottery winners are broke with 24 months.

I was homeless at 19 living in California. Now I’m married with a baby on the way, in college pursuing my Math/computer science degree. Being homeless was the best thing to ever happen to me, it made me value a dollar, I’m taking my degree and heading into the finance sector because I’ve grown an obsession about money and how it works and multiplies. I still keep track of every cent down to the penny, and am always looking for ways to minimize my debts and expenses. I’m 24 now. Anything is possible with WILL.
So, let's all become homeless! Then we can all be as smart as you BananaPop!! How many people did you rip off while on your educational homeless adventure? Please tell us how you did it. Oh, you were honest and true. Right? Maybe/possibly your baby will be smarter than you? But somehow I doubt it.
He needs to clean up his image. Then figure out how to get a car so he can deliver food. At least then he'll be living in a car and be cleaned up for the next opportunity.
We are such a superficially driven culture. What is going on internally can not be fixed with a shower and a shirt. It would be a good idea but this man has issues that the common Joe is unable to recognize. A well trained and well educated sociologist would hear this man's problems loud and clear.
I beleive the good will pull him out.He is young and went true a lot.They need a program of built tiny house and the governor should buy a land and spent developpment for all who want to change.He speak good i beleive he will make it.❤😊
What kind of help can you offer him? I understand you're hearing his story but it's exploitation in a bad way. Hopefully someone there will give him a hand up.
Often that's the case, that's why we call it being "Lost", so be the stronger person and go and help him, the best catalyst for getting someone to become encouraged and confident enough. To do so is kindness, why not be that "kind" of person?
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.

This was an awesome, and interesting interview. Homeless in Beverly Hills, in America that is mind blowing. Wishing him the best. Thanks for giving this individual a voice.
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.
My brother died on the streets of Cali in 2018. He was on the spectrum and had ear issues made worse in high altitudes. His 'parents' put him on a one way there with little to no money. My heart goes out to all those who are without homes and struggling.
I have a friend very much like this and while I appreciate his intelligent conversation on philosophy, it simply does not equal employment on any level whatsoever.
He needs to put time and effort in, not just time. I also watch a TON of education content on RUclips ... but I do it while I am working on other things with it playing in the background. That stuff is designed to be entertaining
@@Vid_Master There’s other mental health or cognitive disorders going on with this guy ... as do many people who were abused or neglected as a child. His thought processes and beliefs are totally magical and immature. Someone can be intellectually intelligent and totally lack the mental health or skills necessary to navigate contemporary society and interpersonal relationships. I’d say if that guy had the ability to not be sleeping on the side of road and didn’t have the ability to disassociate and tolerate those conditions ... he wouldn’t be sleeping on the side of the road.

wow 29. he easily looks 50+ I wondered why he kept mentioning his parents. it’s because he’s still a kid kinda.I pray you get through this brother while your still young 🙏🏾
I believe that he is 29 because from my experience people dont usually overcome blaming their upbringing until they are 30+. He is just a kid even though he looks 40

Personally..been homeless before. That was enough motivation for me. Hopefully one does not have addictions and/or mental illness. These thing's do make geting out of homeless more difficult.. I was fortunate and did not have the above issue's. With this said.. it can be done. Difficult..? Yes.. Motivation and a lot of patience..Create your own balance in life. Do not rely on every corner to give one a hand out.. Volunteer work..lead me to a paying job..which lead me to geting a very small studio.. May this personal journey of mine help inspire others with similar situations. Money and people come and go in life.. The richest thing I own and share is my "word". Never forget that someone has it much worse than you. Last and certainly not least.. Never look down on someone. Unless it is to help them up my brothers and sisters. Please, be happy, healthy and most of all love each other.. Thank you to all who help spread awareness and understanding..🤙
Can't speak for you but; This homeless dude is a BS artist a professional moocher. A reasonable question was asked of this fraud "where are you from?" Answer???????????
Most extreme wealthy people actually look homeless those that want to live a undercover and normal life that is. I've known a few over the years when I was employed somewhere that dealt in finances. Others are fake rich they charge everything and eventually time catches up with them . People who can't afford their lifestyle which is most Americans lol. If I was ever rich I'd be terrified I would definitely live an undercover and normal life .
It’s very apparent that is parents failed him, they made him feel unloved, which is possibly why he feels rejected so often...he has a great attitude and I pray that he gets to a place where he feels that he belongs.
How sad for this poor man. How can people help him? He’s quite eloquent and seems not to be bitter from his misfortune. He is worth saving. Let’s hope his hopes are heard by the universe and he sees better days.
This guy is waiting for someone to show up and give him what, more money, a house, a CEO job? He sounds intelligent enough to work on those things himself without waiting in the gutter for a lottery lightening strike to hit. It sounds like his biggest issue is being lazy and entitled.
Yes he sounds like he has never worked a day in his life !! I don’t get it when i was young I worked because i had to !!! Not because I wanted to !! WTF ??? He said some one will come by ,and he has a lot to offer ??? Ok so ... lets face it this guy is not drunk, or on drugs, or crazy , HE IS JUST PLANE LAZY !!!
@@grasswood1 This is what happens when you don't have to work for a living. Instead of earning an income and respect, he'd rather rely on generosity of others ave free govt handouts. This guy doesn't need a chance, he needs a loving and swift kick in the ass. Every "free" meal should be earned by having them clean up the city they live in.
You should keep in mind that there is a major divide between the rich and the poor in California right now. Some homeless people are working day and night but still can’t afford for a home due to the high rent and prices.

"the cavalry aint comin' " (quote by chris gardner) ....my favourite motto. These endless excuses and relying on other people wont get you nowhere in life
Ofc he knows, he's not stupid. He said he was waiting for the right person to "stumble in to him". Not a coincidence he hangs around rich neighborhoods. But I can understand telling a small lie is pretty easy when you are in a desperate situation.
2/19/21....He is "photogenic"???? He is 29? He is still NOT OVER his parents getting divorced when he was a kid? This guy obviously is living in an ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE! Always has an excuse....
Wow. this guy is not as old as he looks, he has a chance. My brother is a schizophrenic and acts similar to this guy, but his now in his 50s. After he became older, he cleaned up his act and presents himself better. He talks, like this gentleman, but any type of stress, he cracks and gets angry, loud and sometimes violent. He can only hold himself together for a short time. He (my bro) cannot hold a job but seems to do well by himself, on disability, and fixing cars. He was given a trailer and functions well alone, but he could never hold a job and refused any type of meds. He does not drink or do drugs & I think that helps a lot. He is very intelligent, like this guy. Thank you Mike for your channel. I have watched you for a long time and am amazed how you have used your talents to enlighten others and make money at the same time!

Waiting on someone to save him. Blames family for his downfall...gets food cash benefits and says he is WELL taken care of. 29 yrs old?? Plays dumb about Bev Hills..wont say where he is from or why he is not working. STRAIGHT SUSPECT.👮🕵
SOMETIMES people just need someone to simply believe in them, not necessarily hand them everything... considering his background- such a background of not wanted by either parents- can do a lot of psychological damage for self confidence and motivation
@J 100% agree these drug pushing so called experts in medical fields are the cause of this. Here in America we would rather give homeless free handouts and drugs then a system to help them with there addictions.

Nice guy. 29 y.o. Mr. German thank you for stopping and talking to him. Talking to another person can give hope and motivation during bleak times. Sometimes, It can just take one person and sometimes one word to make a difference. Any homeless in front and around the Scientology building?how do they handle it?
Poor guy, only 29 but due to the hard life he looks more like 59. Hopefully he will find a way to get back on his feet. Waiting for someone else to save him just will not happen. You have to help yourself or you are screwed!

@@dandychiggins3345 he's probably a good guy. he's pretty hidden and not obtrusive and they allow him to stay because he can make people feel better. trust me, beverly hills would NOT allow the same level of homeless encampments that the rest of us have to deal with. and i live in an affluent area, too.
I was a case worker and I worked with a lot of folks who were like him. Usually, there are many reasons why LUCK is not what is causing his troubles. These individuals often lack basic social skills and how to relate to others in a constructive way. Remember that book, The Games People Play? No matter what solutions I would work out for them, they would always say, “Yes, but.....”.
My nephew had mental issues. He had people to help him. However the drugs got him. And passed in the end in his 30's. My heart is really sad to see homeless.
He needs to stop acting like a victim and deal with his addiction issues so he can get a to a better place in life. Hard to play a victim when you have obvious track marks.
There was a homeless individual in front of my buddies auto body shop in Los Angeles a few days ago and a customer’s McLaren was parked outside by the curb and this homeless was sitting right by it with a can of butane and just acting very irrational and incoherent and the my buddy the shop owner kept politely asking him to please get up and leave and he kept saying ok I’m about to get up and leave. Finally a lady that knew him from the area came and asked him what was going on and what he was doing and he responded by saying that he was waxing up his car. It was a very stressful situation because my friend was really worried that he might damage the customers car any moment in a sudden moment of manic craziness. It was a very wack situation overall. He finally got up and got the hell away from the customers car and my friend immediately moved it safely into the garage.
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!
refusing to take responsibility for your life is exactly how you end up homeless. No offense to Andrew, he's certainly been through horrifying things that are maybe impossible to recover from for most people, maybe including me. However, if you can't ever admit that it really is up to you to change your life, it won't happen. if you can justify how everything is everyone else's fault, it's over for you. If this sounds like you, get out of that trap. Focus all your power on what you actually can do for yourself and DO IT. Whatever the fuck it takes to make yourself stronger, do it!
I was shocked when he said he was 29 years old. Looks like he’s in his late 40s.
poor guy. life must be so hard in the streets.. he comes across as quite articulate & i really hope he gets back on track sometime.
Same
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!

I agree with you. Sure he needs ppl to help but in the meantime he has to do as much as he can to help him so as well. He can go get clean clothes at a shelter for one.
I felt the same way, some of us feel that help is gonna fall from the sky, hey it might, but most likely not. You gotta go out there and be the change you want.
I think it's time for all of you to put your crack & meth pipes away, come back to reality and face it head on without the self-righteousness.
The police and the city of Beverly Hills NEEDS to get this man some shelter ASAP he’s very bright and I’m sure a roof over his head, a car & a job would put him on the right track but it’s hard to even get one of those resources alone when you are homeless.
He doesn't want help. He has a lot of excuses but no will power to do anything about it.
@@nervousordo Yes, at one point he said, "It has absolutely nothing to do with me",. and all of the "Inexplicable" things that happened to him. He's blaming everyone but himself, when he really needs to look inward.
He does not seem very "bright". Went to one of the most expensive neighborhood with no job looking for a home.
How about you putting up some money for the homeless. They sure can talk. If they worked as hard as they flap their mouths they could pay their own way and not suck energy off of others. GROW UP.

omg this video has upset me so much.. why is he waiting for someone ELSE to realize his potential!!?? the beauty of america is realizing your OWN potential and having the guts to go for it! we all have shitty circumstances. come on.. we're not this weak. this is a good guy, i feel him on the soul searching and philosophical/esoteric vibe.. but come on. self-reliance. forge your own path. teach your kids things that don't get taught in school, love on them. raise them to feel secure. teach them to stand their ground. what happened to accountability! this guy blamed EVERYTHING on others. no one is addressing that. he's an autonomous adult who can make his own decisions and path now, life doesn't have time for mommy and papa issues. we have to pick up ourselves by the boot straps. this is what america is all about! i'm so tired of these excuses from everyone. demand better public educations so kids can get classes on building generational wealth. teach more entrepreneurial.. teach kids things of VALUE.. and love on them. this guy got a bum deal in like, but come on . i'm tired of "hopefuls" being a drain on LA's non-existent resources. people come here to travel or camp out or XYZ because they either get sent here by bus, they like the weather, or because our benefits program reward people to come. this is not fiscally sustainable nor humane. i worked on 6th street and there was a homeless person dead for a few days. and no one knew. i was like.. this smells BAD. no one cared or listened or responded to me. right outside a restaurant, too. and this was before the virus. turns out, someone was laying dead.. in a tent.. for who knows how long. you can literally DIE on the streets of LA.. and no one would notice. unbelievable

It always goes back to your childhood, the way you were raised and the relationship that you have with your parents.
If you can't count on either parent to feel safe and heard, I would think I wouldn't matter and unfortunately have a hard time to believe in myself and than how could it be possible to literally "have" self worth? Aghhhh💔I am so fortunate, so why am I crying?
Some people never get over childhood trauma. I hate that not every child is born into a safe and loving family. Some children have lived harder lives in their first 5 years on this earth than other people have in their whole lifetimes. I wish all children were safe, cared for, and protected.
Not every time having an unfortunate life is to be blamed on the person. If you were not loved a cared as a child you might not be able to do many social things.
Homeless dude is a BS artist. A question was "where you from?" Answer???????????
The British did a documentary once, where they allowed a homeless person to find a briefcase of $150k cash to see if it would give them the stepping stone to get out of the situation they're at. Unfortunately the first thing they did was hit the bar, buy everyone a drink, celebrate every night for a few months, before ending back up on the streets. He talked a good talk too.
Yeh, I saw that, too. How sad, talk about regret!
@ I wish i could find it myself. It was a good few yrs ago. Maybe even 10-15yrs ago. He DID get into an apartment, for the few months. Kept saying how he was going to sort his life out. They often have very interesting stories, and many are actually charismatic, and IMHO could make a career in sales. They often seem to share the same personality traits. 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.... The crew kept following him, which unfortunately was mostly to the bar. He was a generous in that he kept buying everyone drinks. But before you knew it, he was back living under an underpass and right back to square one.
@ actually i found it.. here you go en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversal_of_Fortune_(2005_film)

I was homeless at 19 living in California. Now I’m married with a baby on the way, in college pursuing my Math/computer science degree. Being homeless was the best thing to ever happen to me, it made me value a dollar, I’m taking my degree and heading into the finance sector because I’ve grown an obsession about money and how it works and multiplies. I still keep track of every cent down to the penny, and am always looking for ways to minimize my debts and expenses. I’m 24 now. Anything is possible with WILL.
Gods bless you and your new family. You will make a great parent.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👏👏👏👏👏 Congratulations!
So, let's all become homeless! Then we can all be as smart as you BananaPop!! How many people did you rip off while on your educational homeless adventure? Please tell us how you did it. Oh, you were honest and true. Right? Maybe/possibly your baby will be smarter than you? But somehow I doubt it.
He needs to clean up his image. Then figure out how to get a car so he can deliver food. At least then he'll be living in a car and be cleaned up for the next opportunity.

We are such a superficially driven culture. What is going on internally can not be fixed with a shower and a shirt. It would be a good idea but this man has issues that the common Joe is unable to recognize. A well trained and well educated sociologist would hear this man's problems loud and clear.
He is waiting for himself.
Sad but true, come back five years from now and he probably hasn't moved an inch.
I beleive the good will pull him out.He is young and went true a lot.They need a program of built tiny house and the governor should buy a land and spent developpment for all who want to change.He speak good i beleive he will make it.❤😊
Some people are just not hungry enough!!!! He wants someone to help him get to point A??? I don’t buy all that bullshit!!! Sorry but truth hurts!!
What kind of help can you offer him? I understand you're hearing his story but it's exploitation in a bad way. Hopefully someone there will give him a hand up.
Often that's the case, that's why we call it being "Lost", so be the stronger person and go and help him, the best catalyst for getting someone to become encouraged and confident enough. To do so is kindness, why not be that "kind" of person?
He reminds me of "The Homeless Consultant" - a guy in Minnesota who lives in his car.

@@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.

@@gwendyfrary1807 Maybe HE'S no longer living.
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.
He may really have a sh^&y family, but he needs to get over it and get his life together.

@@Vid_Master There’s other mental health or cognitive disorders going on with this guy ... as do many people who were abused or neglected as a child.

Most extreme wealthy people actually look homeless those that want to live a undercover and normal life that is.

Others are fake rich they charge everything and eventually time catches up with them .

If I was ever rich I'd be terrified I would definitely live an undercover and normal life .
Love you German and your love for humanity ❤
Family is the foundation of a nation, and when the parents are not well adjusted the siblings pay dearly.
It’s very apparent that is parents failed him, they made him feel unloved, which is possibly why he feels rejected so often...he has a great attitude and I pray that he gets to a place where he feels that he belongs.
How sad for this poor man. How can people help him? He’s quite eloquent and seems not to be bitter from his misfortune. He is worth saving. Let’s hope his hopes are heard by the universe and he sees better days.
You can always stop by his sign and help him. However, he needs to stop making excuses and climb out himself.
This guy is waiting for someone to show up and give him what, more money, a house, a CEO job? He sounds intelligent enough to work on those things himself without waiting in the gutter for a lottery lightening strike to hit. It sounds like his biggest issue is being lazy and entitled.

You should keep in mind that there is a major divide between the rich and the poor in California right now. Some homeless people are working day and night but still can’t afford for a home due to the high rent and prices.

@@marionwilson8141 He'll probably sell them...
Let us know how it went!
His name is Andrew. German in Venice says his name in the video about 30 times lol
he seems like a decent bloke that's just down on his luck
I can relate to this guy so much. If you aren't born with money or have connections, you fall through the cracks too easy. If not for my wife's job, is be right there with him.
@@dandychiggins3345 he's probably a good guy. he's pretty hidden and not obtrusive and they allow him to stay because he can make people feel better. trust me, beverly hills would NOT allow the same level of homeless encampments that the rest of us have to deal with. and i live in an affluent area, too.
Down on his luck his entire life from the sounds of it.
If only people could see inside him and past the fact that he can't even put his shirt on the right way around.
I was a case worker and I worked with a lot of folks who were like him. Usually, there are many reasons why LUCK is not what is causing his troubles. These individuals often lack basic social skills and how to relate to others in a constructive way. Remember that book, The Games People Play? No matter what solutions I would work out for them, they would always say, “Yes, but.....”.
your videos are amazing keep it real man.
My nephew had mental issues. He had people to help him. However the drugs got him. And passed in the end in his 30's. My heart is really sad to see homeless.
He needs to stop acting like a victim and deal with his addiction issues so he can get a to a better place in life. Hard to play a victim when you have obvious track marks.
Andrew, prayers going to you my friend! German, Happy Birthday!
He has a sharper mind than a lot of people. Best of luck!
Oh sorry, Happy Birthday 🎁
Thanks
There was a homeless individual in front of my buddies auto body shop in Los Angeles a few days ago and a customer’s McLaren was parked outside by the curb and this homeless was sitting right by it with a can of butane and just acting very irrational and incoherent and the my buddy the shop owner kept politely asking him to please get up and leave and he kept saying ok I’m about to get up and leave. Finally a lady that knew him from the area came and asked him what was going on and what he was doing and he responded by saying that he was waxing up his car. It was a very stressful situation because my friend was really worried that he might damage the customers car any moment in a sudden moment of manic craziness. It was a very wack situation overall. He finally got up and got the hell away from the customers car and my friend immediately moved it safely into the garage.
Sehr einfühlsam. Tolles Video und super Kanal 😊👍👍👍
How do these people have phones and headphones and stuff like that?
He has a better phone than I have.
@@ziggy2shus624 heck yeah, i use a flip phone
It's good that you're showing us what's going on. Like how you respect people no matter their state in life.
God bless Everyone who's struggling with life!!
Hope you find your opportunity and grab on to it,and use it, without putting excuses even if its hard.wish you the best.
"This is Hollywood, and this is reality".
I hope something works out for him.
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!
refusing to take responsibility for your life is exactly how you end up homeless. No offense to Andrew, he's certainly been through horrifying things that are maybe impossible to recover from for most people, maybe including me. However, if you can't ever admit that it really is up to you to change your life, it won't happen. if you can justify how everything is everyone else's fault, it's over for you. If this sounds like you, get out of that trap. Focus all your power on what you actually can do for yourself and DO IT. Whatever the fuck it takes to make yourself stronger, do it!
Good stuff.
Homeless dude is a BS artist. A question was "where you from?" Answer???????????
A likable homeless guy. He deserves to be there
Picture him with a haircut and clean shaven face, in a business suit. He’s got good qualities, I pray he gets a hand up soon! 🙏
Lost cause
