YO TOMMY LIKE MY COMMENT ILL GO BALD, REPLY ILL GET RID OF THE EYE BROWS
A wise man once said “That’s shit ..but that ain’t shit”
ruclips.net/video/CXPvmz2KiQw/видео.htmlsi=vfTznDLI8TsdKunY
😂😂😂
A wise old man said that ?
I was about to comment that right now 😂 I’m dying (not from fetty) laughter fortunately
That *shit* had me rollin’ literally.
23:49 "I think you speak in a smart and poetic way." 😂 You're too nice, Tommy G. That man was making no sense.
Connection is the opposite of addiction, I think that's what he was getting at. Feeding an addiction makes the emptiness behind it grow, while connecting with one another and sharing empathy and understanding heals that emptiness. Hopefully that guy gets better soon
Yea I was waiting…and waiting…and waiting on the point 😂
@@AllstarAllstars Nailed it
@@Aaron25thinfantryatleast he wasn’t on fent lol he must’ve been on speed or something because that guy was going a million miles an hour.
@@AllstarAllstars you couldn’t phrase it any better bro thank you. At the end of the day that person is a person and has feelings sometimes all they need is a hand some might be deeper into the hole than others
As someone who lives in San Francisco and has lived in the Tenderloin this is one of the best representations of the epidemic going on here much love Tommy
Why don't you move the f outta that dump? Why would you live among such filth?
why do yal keep voting for it?
@@mrrod3004 SFs mayor isn’t looking out for the average person she’s looking out for herself and the people surrounding her in positions of power we all vote for change and yet nothing happens
Seriously. I see so many comments online on social media of people claiming to be from the Bay Area saying “it’s fake, sf isint that bad” nah man. I don’t even go to sf anymore unless I know exactly what I’m doing. I get in and get the fuck out
"one of the best representations" = "it's usually much worse than this"? lol
Appreciate the way you don’t just show a video on the street, but centralize and offer objective reality breaking down common misconceptions. In addition to the real on the street videos and questions that provoke thought vs just content. Keep it up brother
It’s good coverage but “objective” is a bit of a stretch. He always asks loaded questions with a lot of preconceived ideologies that lean towards the views already held by the people he’s interviewing.
@@Alex-co7cq Yeah pretty solid description
the fact that there are cities in this state of destruction and NO ONE is talking about it is absolutely heart breaking oh my god
Its everywhere. Tommy just likes doing this in CA
That "god" of yours and it's followers seems to breed these types of conditions.
people are talking about it..this country just rather ignore it and call it a democrat problem than trying to do something to fix it
They voted for it
There's plenty of people talking about it. There's just more powerful people censoring them and covering it up.
24:00 Tommy realized the guy he was talking to was in fact insane 🤣
😂
as soon as he said "we need all the mothers to sit down and talk" i was like where's bro going with this 🤣
Talking about in 100 years we all gonna be doing cocaine 😂😂
I genuinely think I understand what he was trying to say, he was trying to say that if we keep going in the direction we are, everyone will be on drugs. And that we need all the loving people of the world (mothers) to come together to create a real solution instead of trying to push these problems away, like we have been doing. It was a wonderful statement from someone who could not speak eloquently
Yeahhhh…but he made a good point that Tommy brought up during 24:30
The quality in these short docs are great and someone covering this and just bring it to life make more of difference a lot ppl never seen this or experienced living with this around them
People are tired of being lied too. I hope real truth and transparency begin to be things people chase instead of fame and attention.
As a European I think America went from a place you’d die to visit, to a place you wouldn’t want to step foot in. Sad and worrying
europes going through the same thing now :(
Yeah, the politicians do nothing and only care about themselves
Except San Francisco doesn’t represent the entire country. There’s plenty of places in America that are safe.
To a place you’d die if you visited lmao
Same thing is happening in Europe
I genuinely think I understand what the man at 24:00 was trying to say, he was trying to say that if we keep going in the direction we are, everyone will be on drugs. And that we need all the loving people of the world (mothers) to come together to create a real solution instead of trying to push these problems away, like we have been doing. It was a wonderful statement from someone who could not speak eloquently
by keeping these things illegal, the people making money off of these things are the worst of the worst, fentanyl dealers who do not care what happens. If it is made legal and more education on what these things are instead of putting this “dark aura” over it, which in itself can attract people in dark places to, that we will be able to stop letting the “underworld win at night”
This is what worries me
Thank you Donny ❤
That guy was nuts and had no clue what he was saying...!
@@kurtisstutzman7056that’s not true. He just has issues trying to get out what he’s tryna say.
Happy to see you in Kentucky soon brother! Keep up the good work
You make very good documentary’s. Good stuff!
22:25 God Bless this man. Humble and very good advice even though he might not be able to get clean right now he wouldnt want to see anyone go down that path.
Yea it takes a lot of courage to own up to anything like that
They all talk the same BS, but never actually do anything. They all have one thing in common, they LIE...
its crazy how you've grown bro been here when you were on 15k this is wild man congrats. 💯🙏
Oh big deal. These influencers are the new celebs. Total Cu*ts
Really love showing and talking with the guys trying to help
crazy video, thanks for it!
That’s it, 12 step program. I am an addict, just celebrated 6 years clean. My boyfriend celebrated 6 years clean 27 days before me. I have a sponsor, work the steps and go to meetings. So does he.
Congratulations! you both should be proud of yourselves!
Congrats!! 9 years sober here, 12 step started that journey but I made it my own. I personally don't think it's the 12 steps that does it. Its being surrounded by like minded people with the same motivation, staying sober. The meeting really starts after the meeting!
We have 12 steps in california
How do we make every addict take it
Congratulations friend
AA has like a 3 percent success rate. You just have to reach a point in your life when enough is enough. Some people never hit that point
I’m a social worker in Canada. 🇨🇦 and I really enjoyed this video.. you raise really valid questions/points. Thanks for this really raw view into what’s going on in the Tenderloin.. so sad
Have you been to Toronto lately? We aren’t far behind.
I live in a small Canadian border town to Maine... My small town actually tried to go into a state of emergency over the homelessness and the province canceled the help we were asking for.
Problem is in a small town when one landlord sold his apartment buildings the guy that bought it kicked everyone out so 5 large apartments we instantly had 80 plus on the streets of a town of about 5k ppl.
Everywhere is going through hell. Time to add detox and rehabs attached to jail and really focus on keeping drugs and crime as chargeable offenses but work to get detox and rehabilitation as a larger part of imprisonment
@@davidgoulding1386 That is absolutely insane, I am so sorry to hear that. Profit is killing this country while most of us fall under the poverty line and it is heartbreaking to see 💙
@@davidgoulding1386 im actually from Maine and the ammount of homeless with my Rez is crazy and im 25% Native American Maliseet to be extact its crazy
Search up Downtown Eastside Vancouver
Canadas only going to get worse and its not going to get better
Awesome video brother, this my fav channel
They are shrinking the middle class. Not just in CA. It's everywhere
There is no middle class, haha.
Very sad and eye opening video. Thank you Tommy G for going live in the field to film the problem at hand💪🏾
The editing always gets better ! Love you Tommy thank you
Outstanding reporting!
Excellent piece covering so many things he. I appreciate the comparison of offer priorities.
I appreciate how you putting out a video every week bro you hella consistent
banger after banger on a weekly basis is absolutely mental man!!! appreciate the work you're doing!!
Yerrrrr
You are great with your documentaries
Tommy's videos are legit. Like I look forward to them
Intro was fire, These documentary style videos are much better! keep it up.
agreed, I like it cause he does research and presents it well compared to diving right into interviews with people which is nice too but I like this style
Tommy G should get his own tv Show 💯🔥 Amazing work
Forreal. And it just keeps getting better 💯
nothing but lies for clout
@@Duderino420ah, yes......the lies of your eyes 😅
brother this is his show lmfao...
If Tommy G had a tv show he'd be spitting the same dumb shit everyone else does. Keep this man on the internet
Tommy g always coming through showing the real stuff
Yooooo this whole video is crazy
As always, great video and cool edits!
That end of the video rant hit hard. Keep keeping it raw Tommy!
alot of people gonna let that fly over their heads even though that is one of the biggest problems at hand right now
Good work guys keep up the good work ❤
Thank you for your honest approach to a lot of these pressing issues our society faces today. Too many people out there that don't look at the facts, or ignore them and only push an angle, bless you.
Best length for these videos brotha ❤
Great in depth research at beginning, stepping it up
Hell yeah Tommy G! You rocked it with this one! Never shy away from TRUTH! God Bless you & your awesome team-
Genuinely my favorite content creator. Keep killing it man.
been waiting for you to do a video on this situation, love the vids tommy
I love your videos you make me comfortable when life is uncomfortable 😣❤
The quality of this vid mad good
Do Oakland International Blvd next
I don't think it'd go so well once they reach 85th with the cameras. The TL is a lot more timid in comparison.
New Tommy G? Gotta watch immediately 💯
Tommy G, you’ve matured a lot & your content is much better. You do a good job showing the 2 perspectives out there on this mess. You just show what it is without a major narrative. No matter the stance you have on these societal issues, you’re right on one thing. It’s sad to see fellow human beings & the USA this way.
Has to be if not the best, top 5 RUclipsrs ever. Your content makes others and the media look novice.
I don’t understand how you’re not more popular.
I love your content. And how down to earth and nonjudgmental in the people you meet. 🙏🏿
Stayed near the Tenderloin quite recently, gotta say it's one of the worst places I've been to, including LA. Homelessness, crime, and drugs are absolutely rife out there.
Really? I didn't get that impression from the video. Seems like a nice place.
@@bear8046chillax dude
@@bear8046lol honestly, the Tenderloin has some really good food places..other than that, I never go into that area by choice.
Did yall not watch the beginning? It's never like that out here, there was the Apec convention that's why you saw so many police and thats why the streets were so clean. It's like yall just watched the video without listening to what anybody had to say.. that's crazy it was clear as day in the beginning bro.. Clean your ears and open up your eyes..
Typical democRAT ran city!
makes you wonder why documentaries like this dont appear on regular cable TV
Doesn't help the narrative, especially with the elections coming up.... Mainstream sells lies and ppl eat it up....
I agree heater.
@@LetUsDrownIn
Heater ¿
Because it would make the democRATs look bad
Thanks for creating more awareness to what’s really going on with real everyday citizens and boots on the ground in these communities
Being a 28 year old fan of Tommy G and watching from a tiny farming village in the south of England really makes me feel grateful for where I live, however they also make me realise what even the media in England suppress from us. Thank you from me In England for representing the real to life media Tommy. Love and best wishes to you and all America 🇺🇸 🏴
YOU’RE WALKING IN THIN ICE BUB
Don't forget how large the United States is. A lot of the country is rural, beautiful, and has traditional communities. Half the country is conservative but the media is very deceptive.
@@numarkazyup. Even driving just like an hour and a half north of San Francisco it’s a totally different world. All farms, small towns and woods.
He needs to go out there and expose the underworld
I'm watching this from (probably) only a few miles away from you in Bristol, UK, in the sketchy part of Stapleton road and there are numerous small homeless camps, gangs selling class A drugs and litter all over the roads and pavements around here. Likewise, I'm sure the Bay Area in the US as plenty of gorgeous neighborhoods. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.
Tommy G is out here crushing the game💯💪
i think u ctually 1 of the best yters these days mman
Aye good video but im trynna see a part two of u with the swim team and go in some of the cars when they driving
another banger from tommy not even finished it yet and i know its finna be fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
Video's like this raise much needed awareness, thank you.
It's a know thing all over... just makes other blue cities mimic them unfortunately!😮
It’s definitely known but if you want to look at it from the perspective of videos like this brings awareness to the ppl or more citizens around the world then I can agree with you on that. But the higher ups definitely already know this is going on!!
You would think it would bring awareness to how terrible the democRAT policies are, but people in CA have their head up their a ss
great video bro
3:53 Tommy your editor put a picture of Vegas when you said LA 😂
I’ve been clean off fent for 6 months now and I felt like it may never happen. It’s such a worse drug then any other. People need so much help
Good job!
Proud of you bro keep pushing forward, I've been sober from fent for almost 5 years it gets easier the more time you get under your belt
good shit, brother. Been a few years for me. Most don't make it out, don't take that for granted.
Been a couple days over a year for me from fent and meth. Went from homeless to a good job and apartment in just a year. Keep it going you can turn it around just as fast as you can throw it away just gotta be productive
Good for you brother
I'm a midwest transplant who has lived in SF for the past 10 years. I remain here for my career and for my wife who grew up in a suburb nearby. Great job as always Tommy... few extra things to consider for anyone who cares --
1.) The Tenderloin is by far the worst area and most of the headlines come from here, but it's not just here, SoMa, Nob, and Mission are about 80% as bad. In fairness, outside of those areas, SF is relatively clean. Violent crime is low, but theft and burglaries take place all across the city at a rate similar to Gotham City.
2.) The man at 17:30 saying there is "no place for homeless and sick people to go" -- that is pants on fire false. There are dozens of shelters across the city, most of which are empty, because the homeless would prefer to live on the streets and do drugs in the open. In the shelters they have to remain sober. Your reward? Annual tax hikes to put more funds towards the homeless, which somehow makes things worse.
3.) Politicians are 100% to blame for this problem. Boudin being the biggest component in recent memory. It's sad, but the average SF residents views Boudin (a self proclaimed communist) as "a bit far left" and not a radical ideologue like 99% of Americans would. The fact the city was willing to clean up for CPAC, but makes zero effort to do so regularly, is all you need to know to understand the dynamic of living here.
Read the book "San Fransicko" by Michael Shellenberger. When a single political party or ideology (specifically progressive ideology) has indefinite and unchecked power, this video is exactly what you get. Most people in SF think that a center left wing candidate would destroy the city's foundation more than a 9.5 earthquake.
What’s unfortunate is people won’t read your entire comment. Even tho it sums up the facts, I’ve been born and raised in California. Just outside LA and everything you said is true, but certain groups of people would rather blame it on someone else. All while making the problem worse and enabling it by giving free needles and foil. Tough love is what got me and all my friends who actually got clean and away from the gangs and bullshit. None of this “were here to help”. We got locked up and thrown into isolation so we couldn’t get High, at the time it seemed way too inhumane. Now I’m thankful for it
Actual San Francisco native here and it never ceases to amaze me how desperate you transplants are to adopt right wing talking points to demonize San Francisco. San Francisco's shelters are not empty. That's just a lie. One Google search will tell you the exact opposite. You are also ignoring the fact shelters are not safe for homeless people. You can't bring your stuff in, and what you can is at high risk of being stolen. Sexual assaults and violence are common. Living on the street, particularly in encampments is often safer for people, although obviously not a safe option either. People like you also seem to forget how many of the cities homeless are working jobs or are students. This idea that they're all crazy drug addicts is ridiculous and disrespectful.
Chesa Boudin is not the problem. He got blamed for the entire crime spike post COVID and people ate up the narrative because it was easier to have someone to blame than to look at the root causes of the problem. Crime overall is still significantly lower than it was in the 90s and down slightly from pre pandemic levels. The downtown particularly is struggling for many reasons. The first and most obvious being the fact it has lost its entire financial base. Most San Franciscans rarely went downtown unless it was for work or trip to the mall. The entire neighborhood was supported by wealthy tech and financial workers who all work from home now. All the tech companies we gave tax breaks to turn and ran as soon as it was cheaper for them to do so. Online retail, drop in tourism during and post COVID, and, yes, crime have killed the retail. That being said the Westfield or Macy's didn't close because of crime, they were struggling long before the pandemic.
San Francisco's biggest problem is it's completely unaffordable. We haven't built enough housing. This isn't because of "progressive politics." It's because of wealthy NIMBY liberals who will talk all day about wanting to help the homeless but will block any affordable housing project or shelter trying to be built in their neighborhood. They just don't want their property values to go down or to be around poor people. We also have had an extremely corrupt and mismanaged building department, which again is not corrupt because of "progressive policies." It's just good old fashioned corruption. The likes of which we are seeing with Brooke Jenkins, who it sounds like you would be a fan of. Chesa's recall campaign and her election were all funded by conservative dark money. The EXACT SAME organization that funded this recall is now advocating for NIMBY policies blocking more affordable housing, only worsening SF's housing shortage. Cannot make this shit up.
All this aside, the idea that San Francisco, and the Bay Area as a whole, isn't one of the most beautiful and amazing metropolitan areas in the country is ridiculous. Yes it's struggling post COVID, but these problems were here before COVID, and we are already seeing significant improvements. San Francisco is going to be fine. Stop fear mongering.
@@IEatMyCatch this is real, appreciate you sharing
So do the citizens of San Fran look around during the commute into the city and think "leaders are doing a great job we should just keep reelecting blue no matter who". I'll never understand this phenomena of wanting to keep things status quo despite the obvious results
So much truth in this comment I'm surprised RUclips hasn't suppressed it. You don't help a drug addict get off drugs by giving them clean tools to do more drugs with. That's just a hilarious way of thinking and enabling the bad behavior that got them there. SF also has basically decriminalized open air drug use, car burglaries, and other crimes which would have been enforced by simply not taking the calls or reports due to no physical harm or injury to a person. The wild west has all but returned in SF at the hands of the people who control it.
This video is amazing though thank you mr g glad to see you putting in work for these people let’s us know the truth
I remember when Tommy g dropped the Kia boys video,been watching since og Bayley vids,you're doing a great job Tommy g you made it
New to channel, quicky becoming 1 of my favorite RUclipsrs. Your no bullshit commentary matched with real life footage is a breath of fresh air💯
Well. In the video its a fresh breath of something else 😂😂
@@erikasundlie305 Lmao good one 👍💯
Tommy G i gotta admit big dog ur videos just hit different. Keep'em coming
There are ppl in the comments saying it's not realy like this they are lying.... Everyone knows this is a fact.....
@@theglitch99
What is a fact¿
Wow, just wow. Good work
As a Bay Area native, this was a great video and the best representation I’ve seen of the L’s. You went to real locations with Bay natives that know what they’re talking about and spreading awareness. I use to go to school near that area and it’s not a place you want to be at night. And those men at that car garage are some of the sweetest men ever! Lol San Francisco is beautiful and I hope it heals from this. ❤️
Everyone saying "Poop" but are also saying "Shit" in the same sentence lol
“Poop patrol” sounds like something out of the cartoons 😂
Sounds like a shitty job 💩😎
The fact this man consistently has dropped weekly for this long proves his INSANE work ethic
Mostly watching your videos while eating sm heavy meal but well i guess I should watch this episode after m done eating
Tommy G, is honestly, and legitimately one of my biggest inspirations. I love what you do, and I love how you send your message. I aspire to produce content as raw as this.
Doesn't look like you are making ANY Content
I've been allowing YOU to Educate me on these hard to investigate areas, situations, and places that NEED the most Resources in order to make a Huge constant positive impact! Your the fudging BEST, I'm from WI, Sturgeon Bay! What's good? Excited to rep BIG DAWGS gotta EAT Hoody!
ur cutter is doin a great job 🙌
tommy thanks for reporting on this kinds stuff i wish we had someone like you in the uk to show how it really is and all the corruption
Your vibe is infectious, love watching your content!
whats that even mean? you are infected with his vibe now? make it make sense lizzie.
She’s a robot
@@5GTrevor listen to urself bro. Lizzie? she is absolutely a bot. truly affected by 5G 🤣
This dude Tommy is really fantastic at his interview and reporting skills!

Man Tommy doesn’t miss, need these episode to be longer but good shit for sure
Tommy, I've been calling you out for not coming down here...
hella respect for actually coming to the TL... nobody has gone this deep in it yet.
he been out there hella times. Watch the route of fent and shoplifting videos.
Tommy G ain't the goat until he hit The Town.
Lmfao why don't you call out the people making it like this 😂
@@antdad24nah it’s different in SF. Oakland has other problems.
@@thesco41510exactly bro but it's still drugs and other crimes like 211s and 187s.. We don't have as much gun play like it used to be when it was the 90s and early 2000s when homicides were neck and neck..
3:54 tommy said L.A. and Vegas showed up lol. But major respect to you tommy I just started watching you and I’ve been through almost all your videos in the last 2 months or so, you’re putting all these places in the light of where people need help and what not, keep doing what your doing broski
This is your best content yet. The fact that they can clean if up for foreign leaders shows a lot about politics. God bless Tommy, crew and contacts.
If this is the best content yet, that means the rest of his content must be utterly unwatchable trash...because this video is bad and full of wrong information.
as someone from the area, poop was on the streets everywhere even before fentanyl.
Yeah, just bcoz this is election year, and you gotta know what business runs for the profit
@@btroy3768 sorry… what??
Last republican mayor in San Francisco was in 1964 lol. Maybe you should try voting differently? There is homelessness/ dope in every city, but it is not out in the open like LA, NYC, Baltimore, etc.
@@BobBob-cx9wm are you just assuming I voted dem?
@bananza9860 it's a fair assumption, the democRAT to republican ratio in SF is probably 100 to 1. It's sad, northern California has stunning scenery / geography, but it has been ruined by drugs, crime and democRATs
Bro you need to come to Portland Oregon 💯
ah yes the regular thursday upload we love to see it
Tommy g inspired me recently did a midnight to sunrise walkabout thru downtown Seattle and man what I witnessed and the stories I got out of the night crawlers was crazy. I’ll never forget the pain tho I fealt through this woman’s eyes who was wearing rags. The suffering I fealt thru that. Civil society can’t have what I witnessed and what Tommy g brings to us weekly.
“Have you ever done cocaine?”
“Not yet!” 😂😂😂
Tommy for the first time in a few years got me interested in another youtube channel. I wish you great success 🫡.
Tommy ready thought that dude was bout to wrestle him 🤣
Mostly watching your videos while eating but well i guess i should've watch this episode later after m done eating
Doing the real news we love it Tommy
6 months from filming to release is crazy!!!!! Why so long? Who knows what could’ve happened in 6 months. Is this a regular thing? This isn’t a movie that needs major editing. It’s just insane the amount of time to sit on a video.
Let's be clear about this nobody has ever laced weed with fentanyl
Not true at all it does happen
@@Lupelovesburritosanddoritos I'll give you $5,000 if you can prove it... 1 article... It's basically fake news yes it is dangerous but no it does not burn on weed. There's just too many facts to discuss in a RUclips comment LOL but you can go look up a video of a doctor playing with fentanyl with her bare hands
This video made me learn something❤️
I'm from lake county Illinois, just outside Chicago. I've been told by EMTs that they get more than 400 calls for fent overdoses a day.
Almost a 1000 views per minute and 43k views in 45 minutes. Thats some good shit Tommy!
66k 1st hour. Sheesh Tommy is on fire, as always ❤️🔥🔥
No one is screaming "defund the police" now
I’m 13 years sober and completely understand the harm reduction 100% for the spread of other diseases and such. And I’m not knocking either way as I’m in this with you guys as I could very well relapse any point as we all know. But my opinion, truthfully is the only good days I had while I was an addict or my bad days because they made me realize I couldn’t go on like this forever. I’m not trying to be harsh, but sometimes you have to feel that pain and not hardship not to wanna move in that direction anymore, I pray for I pray for mental health and addiction issues
I watch a lot of your videos and haven’t ever commented but I made a change today. I like how you incorporated the politics into this one while still connecting to people on the street. I think it’s important for everyone in the USA including those watching and also those who are helping you as well as the people you are interviewing to know how important the politics are like in these PARTICULAR areas. We know most of those on drugs aren’t voting and don’t know who the local politicians are or what they represent but maybe you can help introduce this and the idea that these locals can change the policies by who they vote for
San Fransisco is as close to “lawless” as it gets
fr I live in the normal suburban part of California and while me and my family was in San Fransisco we saw a homeless guy with wild hair and the anarchist symbol tattooed on his hands.
Nope that’s Oakland
