- In this interview, Lionel opens up about life in Philadelphia. He talks about how he ended up there from Texas, as well as his family back home. He's worried about his Paw-Paw because he said he hasn't spoke to him in a while and he hopes he's still alive. He's also struggling with addiction. He got assaulted recently, and had to get medical treatment for a wound on his head. He hopes to get his life together and get up off the streets and away from drugs.

He reminds me of my own son. One year ago today , my 33 year old son got on a Greyhound bus and never turned back to the street life or the drugs again. God Bless! He came back home.
That's so amazing, Windy. That made me so happy to hear that. I'm so glad he made the right choice and got away from that life.
I was addicted to drugs myself for 18 years. I just hit 10 years clean last month. I remember putting my mother through hell. She was worried sick about me. I know exactly where you're coming from.
Amazing, you must be so happy. Stay strong, for you and him both
@@LimoneneDaddy thank you
So glad you got your son back to you. It gives me hope for my nephew. He is in NM and trying to get into a treatment program there. Prayers are appreciated, please 🙏🏼
@@LauraDiamondWise I pray your nephew makes it into treatment, Laura. I know how stressful all of this can be on a loved one. Don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can do to help.
R.I.P. My son. David Dyer. Overdosed and passed at age 30. I couldn't function for at least a year. God bless this young man. Jesus save him.
Yes, Jesus please save him. Amen
He needs to save himself with the help of a very good stern Rehab.

@@PrettyGoodLookin Agreed.
@@PrettyGoodLookin Agreed.
Im a recovering heroin and crack cocaine with 18 years clean and sober.
This dude is an intelligent, articulate good guy. It kills me to see another addict going through this daily misery. The last 18 years have been THE BEST YEARS of my 58 years on this earth. Recovery IS possible
That's amazing, bro. I love it. Congratulations on getting clean. I was addicted to drugs myself for 18 years. My drugs were coke and PCP. I just hit 10 years clean last month, so I totally get it.
Recovery is definitely possible. And you're right. He's intelligent and articulate, and I also hate seeing someone else go through that misery. I hope he gets up out of there and back to his family to get the help he needs.
Слава Теве Вожи ☦️ Амин

He actually looks young for his age. His eyes still have lots of light. I wish him a safe and happy life
His eyes so sad , looking for understanding & Love like a kid
@@mark3308He looks 25.
@@mark3308actually he looks tired and unkempt and his teeth don’t help but he does happen to look young
Yes. His light is still there. He has hope.🙏
@@ilsedemolder3973 He looks around 30, telling 50 is just toxic and wrong.
He looks like a lost little boy. Everybody was somebody's little child sometime. People need to remember that. We are all human.❤❤
Well said. I think about that all the time with these interviews I do. All of these people were once somebody's child, parent, etc.
@@unheardvoices_official How did you start doing these? It must be fascinating and also very troubling at times, I would imagine. Its great that you are giving a voice to people who often would not have a voice any other way.
@golddustgypsy6253 I'm actually just fascinated with people's stories. I'm fascinated with life in general. We all pass people on a daily basis and know nothing about them. From the 80 year old grandmother buying milk out of the grocery store to the homeless drug addict sleeping under a bridge. Each and every one of us has been through a series of events that has led us to that one place. To that one current moment in time. How did we take completely different paths through life and end up in the same spot together at the same exact time?
It's truly fascinating, but like you said, it can be troubling at times. Thank you so much for supporting the channel. It's truly appreciated. 🙏
You are doing a great job!
Everybody has a story and a right to tell it. Would love to do a job similar to what you are doing!
Brother if you see this PLEASE LEAVE Kensington and never go back. Get as far away as you possibly can. You can make that change brother.
Absolutely, Ryan. I hope he sees this. You're absolutely right about Kensington. That place is a death trap.
Do you live in Kensington, is it that bad for people not living around the Ave though
@1whocs486 I do not live in Kensington. Whenever I've been there, the surrounding areas don't look too bad. It's nothing like Kensington Ave. Allegheny Ave., etc. Whenever I mention Kensington, I'm usually referring to the Kensington Ave. area.
Oh so easy, why havent they thought of this before?!?!?!?
Kensington is trump country- enough said.
God bless this young man. Everyone watching please say a prayer for this young man.
Absolutely, Thomas. 🙏
I 🙏 prayed for him. God bless
.❤
@@user-yt5il3yi1z Me too, Keith. 🙏
I will keep him in my prayer he has a soft gentle soul ❤
This is just pitiful 😞. This man is so sweet. This world is a very cruel place to live. This breaks my heart 😔
Mine, too, Matt. It's definitely sad. I hope he manages to get up out of there and back to his family in Texas.
There is sadness in all our lives. This man has more integrity than the guy filming it
Its not the world rather the system that is cruel... Like a virus we cant overcome, bombs over food....
What annoys me is how alot of addicts are just lazy excuse making selfish people 🤦🏽♂️💫🫡 👌🏽🙏🏽
They are con artists. Drug addicts are the biggest schmoozers on the planet.
Im 32 lionel, you still have that light/brightness about you. Dont lose it! Get sober now while youre still young
Great advice, bro. I hope he sees all of these comments at some point and s sees how many people are rooting for him.
That’s the light of God ❤ I see it in him too. How beautiful!
@@gutsandgrittv5076 Absolutely! 🙏
He doesn’t have a phone… didn’t you listen to what he said? He keeps getting his phone stolen. I doubt he will be reading this.
@@raechelyndawn2580 Yes, his phone got stolen. I tried to let him use mine after the interview, but he couldn't remember the phone number.
Thanks so much for supporting the channel, Raechel. Much appreciated! 🙏
He seems way too sweet to be in this situation, i hope he finds his way back....
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Congrats on your recovery. Most people don't realize that psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives.
To be honest, mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on the planet and it is natural, they serve in many ways not only for mental related issues.
Can you help me with a reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. It is very hard to get a reliable source here in Switzerland. Really need!
Yes, Sporeville. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and addiction... Mushrooms definitely made a huge difference to why I'm clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He's 59 & has many mental health issues plus probably CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD knows if it is common for an obsession with violence.
He is so vulnerable and alone it really is heartbreaking 💔
I agree wholeheartedly. He's definitely vulnerable. I hope he manages to get out of there.
sending positive vibes to this young man. His PTSD has to be horrible. I truly hope he gets somewhere safe really soon. Peace
Thanks so much for the support, Marlene. I hope the same for him. 🙏
@marlenepolkowski4569 Hey Marlene
Gental but the face on the young American. Really explaining the way it is.
@@patrickconnor-gh2ij Definitely, Patrick.
Peace is Everything
This man has a warm and bright soul. I hope this is a time in his life he is able to leave, never look back, and find love, happiness and success (not monetary success but success as being okay without drugs!).
Well said. I hope the same for him. 🙏
Unfortunately there's countless people like him who are homeless.
This guy needs some help to get on track.He knows the devil is real.He needs to know how real Jesus Christ our Lord Savior is.My thoughts and prayers for him and all out there sick in need and suffering.
@@glennp6413 Absolutely, Glenn. 🙏
How about monetary success too?
My daughter is suffering from addiction. We do recover. I had to myself and only when she's ready to surrender to THE LIGHT... is when we can recover. If I could do it for her, I would... but we cannot. I always give moments of silence for those sick and still suffering. They're is hope.
I'm so sorry you're going through all of that with your daughter, Danielle. I was addicted to drugs myself for 18 years. I just hit 10 years clean last month. I used to put my mother through complete hell. She stuck by my side through it all, though. I would've never made it if it wasn't for her. Unfortunately, she passed away while I was in prison back when I was first getting clean. Never give up the fight. She'll get through this.
I hope this child of God gets whatever he needs to make it. I'll pray that he will get off the drugs.❤
Absolutely, Michael. 🙏
Lionel, brother, i know what youre going through! I used to be homeless in Las Vegas for years, and it was such a lonely and sad time in my life. I now have several month clean, am in a program, and have a baby girl due in 2 months. Life has so much better things to offer, and its possible to make a change. I pray that a miracle can happen for you, like it did me, and that something can pull you out of that lifestyle. Sending love and prayers your way!
Congratulations of your accomplishments, Levi. You should be really proud of yourself. Like you, I used to be addicted to drugs and homeless as well. The loneliness was one of the things that used to drive me crazy. It was so depressing. I just hit 10 years clean last month. You got this, Levi. Keep pushing forward. Congratulations on your little girl coming as well.
Amen✝️♥️🫵🏻
I feel so bad for Lionel poor guy it’s so bad
What a Lovely man. He deserves humane treatment, as we all do. This dehumanization of Americans needs to stop. There are plenty of means to get these poor people safe and rehabilitated. Then they can choose homes, communities. The homeless crisis and the children prove how much we need community. He needs a community first.
Well said, Edie. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
👏👏

For sure. I hope Loinel manages to get out of there and into some kind of treatment.

Im a 45 year old from the UK..i started using heroin when i was about 18 back in 1997 and ive been a heroin..methadone and crack addict for 27 or more years now..the time just goes..ive been in and out of so many detoxes..prisons..rehabs and other facilities ive lost count..thankfully about 15 years ago i stopped committing crimes and haven't been in prison since then..i have managed to get a nice place to live which is mine and i have managed to maintain my family connections..thank God my folks stuck by me over all the years of shit i put them through...and today although i cant say im clean because im on 100ml of methadone daily but i live an ok life and slowly im getting there..its great to see all the nice positive comments for this guy..most comments i see on these vids are always good and positive which is great because not all of us addicts are bad people..some of us have suffered bad things..some of us are empaths and struggle with this fucked up world..i wish this guy all the best and i hope when he is ready he gets better 💚🙏🙌
I'm so happy for you with the progress you've made. I know you said you weren't fully clean, but you've definitely come a long way and should be proud of yourself. I totally feel you on having family by your side part. I had the most amazing mother stuck by me. I put that woman through complete hell, but she never left my side. She's passed away now, but I'll love her and be indebted to her forever. My drugs were powder, PCP, ecstacy, etc. I just hit 10 years clean last month. I'm glad to see you still fighting the good fight. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need to.
I wish Lionel all the best as well. I hope he sees this and sees how many people are rooting for him. 🙏
@@unheardvoices_official thanks mate..we have that in common for sure..my Mom has been to visit me I every prison and detox and rehab I have been in and my dad also but my mom used to give me money because she knew I was out stealing and she hated it and she literally stood by me the whole time..my other family did also but my mom went above and beyond and I can never repay her but I'm trying by just staying out of trouble and doing my best so that she doesn't have to worry or anything..im really sorry your mom has passed mate..that socks and I'm really worried about when that happens to me because I honestly don't know how I will cope without my mom I really don't.
Anyways..congrats on the 10 years clean and well done doing the videos etc and helping bring to the light just how bad the disease of addiction is and how many folks suffer with it worldwide..its an epidemic now mate.
Take care for now..and I've subbed to your channel 💚🙏🙌
@ponyboycurtis3795 Thanks so much. I truly appreciate the support. And you're doing great, and I'm sure your mom is so happy and proud. There's nothing like knowing she's sleeping well at night now. Just put your mom at the forefront of everything you do. 🙏
This can happen to anyone. May God protect us all.
Absolutely. It can definitely happen to anyone. Most people don't even realize how we're all just one decision away from an entirely different life.
He could be a character actor or something, charismatic and likable guy.
He's definitely a likable guy.
Hopefully not acting. Soulless industry.
He'd be able to help many. He seems kind and warm spirit.

When he talked about the food made me smile :) Lionel, recovery is worth it! Don't give up!
For sure. Me too! :) Recovery is definitely worth it. I hope he doesn't give up. 🙏
go home lionel and get clean with some support from your parents...they still love you and need you in their life!
Well said, Susan. That's what I hope for him as well.
So sad to see this in “supposedly the greatest country in the world”. We are failing our citizens.
These people need help. They’re someone’s child, brother, sister, father, mother, etc.
We can do better America!!!
This is an epidemic and the government needs to step tf up!!!!
I couldn't agree more, Sarah.
Govt coulda declared a state of emergency years ago - they started this damn mess to begin with. Every chance they get they do the wrong thing for the people.
@@j_larusta_8825 Well said, J.
This is what happens when they "step in" why can some people still not see that
The great america, lol !
Oh thank gosh. I had not seen an update on Lionel on other channels in awhile. Thank gosh he is still out there. Bless him.
I heard he was on another channel doing an interview. I still haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but some other people have commented and said he seems to look better in this one, so hopefully, that's true.
This poor man.. he is my age and he is so sweet. I pray he gets off drugs. So sad.❤ if he read this I hope he knows how much Jesus loves him.❤
Absolutely! I hope he sees this at some point and sees all the love he's getting. 🙏
Lionel seems to be a genuine man, Best of luck unto you Lionel, you deserve way better than the life you are living now, I hope it gets better for you, Man!
He needs to go back to Texas. Get the hell out of that place. Prayers. For Him
Seems sane, and if he had a little direction he might be able to pull it together. I wish him the best & really hope he betters himself, I think he's a good person that just got lost.
No. I spent 2 years homeless. I'm a debt free homeowner now. This guys got no chance at anything, ever.
Are we all
You can’t make someone change. They have to want it
You can see his kindness through his eyes. God Bless him and keep him safe💖

I hope he gets the help he needs. 🙏
Fee Country = Free Will.
The only thing that the country did was not meddle in his affairs, exactly as intended.
Communities are who could help a man like this, but if he chooses to live this way, then another way shouldn't be forced onto him.
It's just a tragic complicated mess.
@Thesaurcery4U2C Well said. It's definitely a tragic, complicated mess. Some of the people out there don't want help. Some of them don't want to get out of there. You're absolutely right.
Prayers sent.My heart goes out!!!!❤
Absolutely, Mark. Mine, too. 🙏
I’m so happy to see Lionel is okay! He’s pretty coherent as well, I really hope he makes it out 🩷
As always, Lydd, I appreciate the support. I'm glad he's okay as well. He's definitely got this. 💪
Lionel awe man get well soon get out of philly
God bless him and the people who serve him on Mondays. He looks forward to Mondays when most of us dread Mondays. It’s so wild to me that someone can be on drugs, I’m the streets, and who they are ( deeply) is still very present… if you read this you are a good dude, in a bad life cycle. I hope you get out of danger and use that great personality to help others
Well said. How ironic about the Monday thing, right? I hope he manages to get out of there as well.
Liked, appreciated, and subscribed. You are doing some major work for the good team!

Have you ever ran into Mal of AML films in Kensington? I think you two would be something great helping the homeless. So happy to see you’re channel growing!
Hey Katie! No, I've never run into him or met him. I see people comment good things about him, though. I'd love to work with him and help more people. Thanks so much for the kind words and the support. 🙏
You have a lovely heart, and I hope life can improve in ways that will bring you all the happiness you need 🦋
He really does have a lovely heart. I hope things get better for him. 🙏
Lionel is a good guy, I can easily relate to him in the interview. He seems to be in bad shape and it touched me to see the suffering in his face and his voice. I feel the sadness.
Sleep must be a big problem for homeless people in Kensington, now even more so after the big "cleanup of Kensinton Av" that the new mayor has instigated. Now cops order people to move on, to leave, they don't let them relax and stay at a place wherever they are, a sort of criminalization of resting or sleeping in a public space.
Lionel, try to get some help, I wish you all the best, and thank you guys for the interview.
He really is a good guy.
You're right about the sleeping part. I'm sure it's exhausting having to carry everything you own around with you all day. Their bodies are probably so tired.
I guess we'll see what happens with this clean-up in Kensington.
I pray they find their way. 🙏
Yep. That always gets me to. Sleep is so important for your body/mind I can't imagine not having a peaceful safe place to relax and sleep🥺
@@paigesilva3757 I agree wholeheartedly, Paige.
Some just get you in the heart ! This young man is one of them . He is a good soul and has honest eyes . So much saddness in his eyes . Please get out now ! Nobody is your friend in Kensington. I am praying for you to find your way soon ❤️🩹
Well said. I hope he manages to get out. He's capable of more. I just hope he believes in himself enough to realize it.
I am praying for him, as I scrolled through my feed I came across your channel, I sat staring at his face! I could feel his pain just looking at your thumbnail...I want him to succeed so very badly! I too live in PA. I am in Schuylkill County & it's rough here as well but if he took an hour trip my way, there are so many programs that will help you plus job placement! If ya see him again, pass this info on. I am sending love & hope that he heeds any of the comments support & options! He seems to have a beautiful soul...we all get lost from time to time but he NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM THAT SH*T ASAP!!! I am 41 & have no family either...I have two beautiful, intelligent little girls! I am blessed! Ty for your content & I wanna send a huge hug & shout out to him, dude, KNOW YOU AREN'T ALONE!!! TRAVEL A LIL & TAKE A CHANCE, YA DO EVERYDAY TAKING THAT GARBAGE BUT IT'S A GAMBLE THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE WILLING TO TAKE WITH YOUR LIFE! YOU ARE TOO AMAZING TO DWELL WITHIN YOUR PAIN, GET OUT WHILE YA CAN 🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀
Perfectly said. Thank you so much for supporting the channel. It's truly appreciated. Like you, I hope he sees all of these comments at some point and sees how many people are rooting for him. I will definitely pass the info along if I run into him again out there. I'll show him all of these comments as well. Thank you for caring. 🙏
@@unheardvoices_official anytime, ty for everything! I dig🫀
People don’t realize when your really homeless you do not have a phone, the phone is the first thing to go for a hit
Their phones get stolen a lot as well.
poor guy thought find a rich villa, and his grand father gave him a hut from the hill has eyes
Yeah kinda ignorant for this guy to think that. If it sounds too good to be true it’s probably because it is
No such thing as a free lunch unfortunately
You must be joking. What homeless person would turn down a home. He didn't keep his side of the commitment, and ducked out cause he missed the street and heroin.
@@JerseyLynneyeh that farm house sounds pretty good to me. farms provide their own water. they use rain water. it is possible to do.
His grandfather made it work though. Everyone now thinks they deserve a free handout. Guarantee this guy was a junkie when he left Texas. This didn’t just happen when he got there.
Prayers
🙏
So sad watching these ,I hope he finds peace one day and the interviewer seems genuine aswell. Most addicts are dealing with trauma , I remember someone telling me once addiction is a symptom of suffering
Thanks for the kind words, Peter. These interviews can definitely be sad. You're absolutely right. Most addicts are dealing with some kind of trauma.
Thank you for talking to this lost soul to give him a voice and to know someone is listening and interested, if not just giving him the time to express. I have never in my life seen so many devastated homeless and addicted people living in this country as in the past 15 years. This is an intentional degradation of humanity orchestrated by our government. I can never forgive the politicians nor the ambivalent populace that vote for promises of pittances, instead of solutions to these problems. Please pray to right this ship so that humanity does not continue to fall to this despair. 🙏🏽
Thanks so much for supporting the channel, Susan. Much appreciated! 🙏
Dear God save this man
Yes!! 🙏
I remember Lionel's earlier videos... He actually looks better than before.. Stay well Lionel 😊
I've seen a few people comment saying they remember him from earlier interviews. I didn't know he had been interviewed before. I'll have to go check them out. I hope he stays well and gets up out of there and gets back to his family.
I think thats awesome and you are doing a fine job of letting people tell their story. Everybody has a story and a right to tell it. ❤
Absolutely! 🙏
Oh geez, I hope this guy finds a better situation. He seems like a decent person. Good luck on your journey🙏
He was definitely a decent person. Like you, I hope his situation improves as well. I believe he's capable of so much more.
Prayers for Lionel
Absolutely, Mark. 🙏
❤ All my love and prayers to you Lionel 🙏🏼 ❤️
Thanks so much for the support, Bridget. I hope he eventually sees all of these comments and sees how many people are rooting for him. 🙏
My son died two years ago from overdose age 44. I was fortunate to have him for as long as i did. May God bless this young man.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Maudie. My heart goes out to you. I can't even begin to imagine the pain of that. You will definitely be in my prayers. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need anything.
Man this is the most normal I’ve seen him.
I've seen a couple of people comment something similar to that, Zach. This was the first time I met him, so I don't really have anything else to compare his demeanor to.
Go home you are out here for dope go home.
@@SuzettePharris-dx9qb I hope he does go home, Suzette.
May the Lord guide his steps and watch over him 🙏
Absolutely! 🙏
Bless you!
You can come through it a stronger person.
Absolutely he can. 🙏
He is just so beautiful and it breaks my heart into a million pieces...
It does mine, too. I'm really rooting for him. I hope he manages to get out of there.
Lord please help these lost souls find Jesus.
It is time america starts taking care of its own
Agreed, Jose. Although I've come to learn that sometimes it's the people who don't even want the help.
Facts
@@unheardvoices_official because you come to them with the same story possibly, the story of living and dying, as it was for thousnands(millions) years. This is your offer. You blame them?
@@TheGoodOne-bf6up Where and when did I blame them?
@@unheardvoices_official Your explenation was a single line answer. My answer is, next mondey You will blame them. You will do this sitting in your kitchen.
Aww its Lionel I have seen his interviews quite a few times on another channel. Im so glad he is alive and looks pretty healthy!!!! Love you Lionel 💜 🙏
That's what I've heard. I've heard he's been on other channels. I haven't had a chance to see them. I'll definitely have to check them out. I'm rooting for him. He's a good person and capable of so much more.
So sad in this day and age. I hope he goes home or his family reach out to him 🙏
That's what I'm hoping as well. 🙏
He's definitely not ok.
I'm praying for him, Kat. 🙏
@@unheardvoices_official yes, I will too. He has to understand who his Savior is, accept Jesus.
@@katizz988 Absolutely. 🙏
❤
🙏
Respect to you Lionel, I saw you on the other videos, take care.
I wish the best for Lionel. He deserves to give himself a better life.
Thanks so much for supporting the channel. Much appreciated. 🙏
1:01 "He died last year."
5:14 "I tried to call my Paw-Paw."
Is it a different grandfather or is he forgetting what he says that quick?
His grandparents died, but his paw (dad he hopes is alive)
@@tymac3306You need to listen again to what he says.
Looking for this comment! Also he says he doesn’t steal 😒 who is he fooling!!
OMG…it’s like maybe he has… TWO grandpas.
@@venuselectrificatain the context he is saying he doesn’t steal from others. when you’re in the street you do what you must to survive. faceless corporations budget for losses and their prices suck. many people in addiction or on the street maintain their values and some do not. but I think street life reveals the person you’ve always been. also karma catches up with you and most street folk know this. yes drugs and street life do change people. don’t believe what you see on tv. I’ve met lots of well to do people on the street. this yt channel is making this exact point. lots were our veterans that ran from the traumas of war and disillusionment of coming back as if nothing happened after going go through the rings of hell. lots were abused kids that got away as soon as they could. unfortunately even straight edge folks can end up strung out - bc the drugs are literally everywhere. you realize they all have one thing in common, trauma.
That angel is long gone. Its all devil from the word go,nothing but poison fentanyl and benzos
Don't forget tranquilizer...
@@leemackay888 The tranq. is the worst from what I hear.
Absolutely, Rob. Well said.
I feel sorry for whoever targets this man
Wow it’s always better to Bless someone like this this is God trying to give ppl faith and love ❤️
I agree wholeheartedly. 🙏
Brother, I already do wish you nothing but the best.
Absolutely! 🙏
Hey dude.🔥 You are not on your own and you are not independent 🔥
Should've stayed in Delaware
this breaks my heart. I am an addictions therapist and see this everyday. He seems like a nice kid who needs help. I hope he finds it soon.
I totally get it. It's definitely heartbreaking. He really is a nice guy. A lot of addicts aren't bad people. They're just stuck in fucked up situations they can't get out of. Thank you for the work you do. I commend it. I know it's not easy. I was addicted to drugs myself for 18 years and just hit 10 years clean last month.
I'm always open to giving back, so don't hesitate to reach out to me if there's ever anything I can do to help. I'm in Maryland, but I travel all over. Thanks for supporting the channel as well. It's definitely appreciated. 🙏
