Ex-homeless people, what was your worst night like? 

You've really hit your stride, new, green-face narrator. I wasn't sure I liked your narration style at first, because it was so different from yellow-face's. But you sound more confident in your delivery now, and the difference in y'all's narration styles now feels like more of a feature than a bug. You're doing great!

You know what's sad? The first people to say, "support our troops" are usually the same people who turn their nose up at homeless people. A great deal of the homeless population are veterans

Had a friend who was homeless. She stayed in a shelter until they told her she would have to leave to make room for others. ‘Luckily’ the couple working there let her stay with them. She did all she could to cook for them and keep their place spotless but then the reality hit. They tried to force her to sell herself on the streets to pay them back. Thankfully she managed to escape before anything could happen and she’s doing really well now.

One of my managers at my last job was living in his car in the parking lot of the store. I can't remember how long, but the dude charged EVERYTHING he owned (phone, a small fan, tablet and a couple spare batteries for it all) while he was on shift. I offered to let him come to my place for a shower and do his laundry, if he was cool hanging with my kids and eating a home cooked dinner. He only took me up on it a couple times, and I was sad when he got fired. I don't have his number anymore, but I just hope he's doing ok, wherever he is.

Someone once said that everyone is one lifetime event from being homeless.

Guys no I didn't upload the wrong video, that was a glitch. Here's the right one :D

Sending good vibes to all who contributed stories. Houseless folks are adult orphans. All anyone needs is a little bit of help and a lot of love.💚💚💚

I just got out of homelessness a few months ago. Was homeless for 6 years, I'm only 24 now. Worst part about it wasn't the crackheads or the creeps, it was honestly the weather. We scrounged as best me and my two brothers could for ropes and extra tent stakes so we could batton down for 40-60 mph winds and gallons of rain pounding down on everything. But we live in a part of Louisiana that has lots of tornadoes, so I'd risk my only dry clothing and sickness just to keep an eye on the sky, because if a tornado was heading our way we could only take a few things and maybe run to somewhere that's safe. The weather also caused really dry and hot conditions that led to lots of accidental fires in the tents around us and a few summers my brothers, big guys built for cold weather, got heat exhaustion and finding drinking water was almost impossible. I'm in a solid walled apartment with a roof over my head and I still have panic attacks any time the wind even remotely gets past 20 mph.

I couldn't afford to help this couple out at one point but as Iam a a bush crafter I showed them how to set up a stealth camp and some ways to stay warm naturally and with as lil money as possible ie using clay pots and tea candles from the dollar store. We should no doubt increase some of the shelters and programs I don't think it would hurt to add some basic survival skill sets

I’m not usually the type to open up about things, but I actually have a really good story here and hey maybe it’ll help somebody. I first became homeless at the age of 18. I had been thrown out by my mom. She smashed my phone and followed me up the street in her car, so basically I had to run thru a hiking trail and sprint to my friends house. Mind you when this happened, I had nothing but a pair of boxing shorts on. No shirt. No shoes. Hell not even socks. At some point my mom realized that I had the capabilities to take care of myself, at least to some extent. Definitely better than most people my age would have I think, which I am eternally, grateful for. I don’t mean to sound cocky saying that, but it quite literally is all that got me through it sometimes. What can I say? I’m a stubborn prick haha. Anyway, after a certain point, I got fed up with the stuff going on at home and I realized I needed to get out. I was tired of feeling like the world was constantly caving in on me and like I was never good enough. I was tired of being treated like a failure of a child for being different inside. This time it was my choice to leave but I had no way to get to the city and none of my documents. I had to wait until she left the house one day, steal the documents, and set up what was essentially me getting smuggled out by some friends and my old karate teacher. (I know this was a fking movie i swear to god). I ended up staying with some friends for a while in the city, but in the craziest real life plot twist ever, the girl I had just had a breakup with ended up moving in the room right across from us. I was having some sexuality issues at the time and couldn’t be in a relationship with her because I wanted to understand my love preferences and hadn’t really had a chance growing up because of my environment and family. Long story short, she told the staff of the apartment I was there and got me kicked out. Kinda crazy but she knew my situation too. She then proceeded to throw at me every kind of abuse accusation you could possibly think of, all of which were not true obv and luckily she hadn’t put too much thought into it so it never went anywhere. At this point I was on the street. I had been in and out of the house a couple times, but it never seemed to last. After one or two weeks, me and my mom would inevitably have a falling out. She would find something to be upset with me for, tell me to leave, and then refuse to take me back to the city. I think the hardest part about being homeless is the lack of any kind of safety. I almost never slept at night time. It’s genuinely really scary, knowing that anybody could’ve come up and tried to rob me, and that would be a lucky break. It became impossible to sleep at night, because of the constant fear that I would wake up with a knife in my side, or to someone taking advantage of me, or with somebody shooting me up with some kind of drug to test out. A couple times people tried to run up on me, you will never appreciate having a spiked choker with you until the car tries to pull up on you and you wrap it around your fist knowing fully well you might have to punch some holes with it. I don’t think I look intimidating to be honest, but I guess I played it off well enough because I didn’t have to fight thank god. one time where this dude was walking to work, and he started walking in my direction a couple feet away from me, which jolted me awake as you do and I instantly clutched my knife and started gasping and backing away. Dude was like “hey man youre good, youre good im just walkin”. Felt so bad lol. Probably scared the shit out of him for a sec. In hindsight, I’m sure he understood. He seemed nice. I still think about that a lot. I was really scared that I would just wake up to some douche bag kids playing some screwed up prank on me. I didn’t wanna wake up to my stuff on fire, or someone taking advantage of me, or someone pouring chemicals or acid on my face just for kicks. These kind of things happen, because the reality is when a homeless person dies, they are instantly assumed to be just another bum who od’d. Luckily, I’m a pretty fit and in shape man and I have five or six years of mma (muay thai, jiu jitsu and other grappling, kung fu, etc. oh the great power of being a little hoodrat who grew up with rage against the machine and UFC) so I was protected. Another thing that people don’t really talk about, is the fact that people look at you as if you’re less than human out there. No one thinks about the fact that you could just be an unfortunate soul who happened to land on harsh circumstances. I was a kid who had to run away for my safety, choosing homelessness, as the better of two bad situations, but people looked at me like I was some kind of cockroach. I was a bum who surely must have messed my life up to this point. Suddenly my body scars and ticks became a lot more insecure. I didn’t want people to see them, and think they were from drugs. Often times when I tried to talk to people it wouldn’t even be to ask for money or anything, I never panhandled, but I would genuinely feel so lost and disassociated from others and from conversation, that I would just try to talk to people to feel sane. Luckily, I ended up all right but a lot of people go crazy out there. People don’t talk about the fact that it literally mentally degrades you. if you don’t find something to work towards, the complacency will drive you insane. I never got into drugs (weed sometimes and occasional psychedelics but only with friends in safe spots usually), but people look at homeless drug addicts with so much distain, but they don’t realize how unbearable it is trying to sleep outside and be comfortable and warm. Some of them don’t even want to do drugs, but it’s their only way to not freeze to death or to be able to sleep. I realized in the spot I was in so many people were only focused on their own survival. Maybe it doesn’t make any sense but I think what kept me alive and happy was trying to make sure the other homeless people I came across were okay. And I don’t say that to make myself sound good but it actually helped a lot. And fuck me I guess I just can’t watch somebody freeze or go hungry. a couple times I was able to give people some stuff and it made me feel pretty good. Once I saw a Mom and her little boy. It had just gotten done pouring out and they were soaked. I had this leather jacket I really liked and she refused to accept it, but I gave it to the kid. I was out with some friends at the time, but I had to separate myself for a second to “check out a store” and after I disappeared from the group I just broke down and started sobbing. I was a kid out there too, but that kid was no more than my little brother‘s age. I was angry. It hurt knowing I wanted to do so much more for them, but I couldn’t. I didn’t have anything else to give them. I had people that I had to stay alive for. I raised my siblings like my own kids and I sure as shit had to make sure I made it back to them. Sadly, in order to do that, I couldn’t give up everything I had. I still think about them too. I hope they’re doing okay. I’m in a better spot now and I am searching for jobs and trying to pull myself out of this. I also started a band with the hope of making noise about these issues and hopefully sparking some change. I really hope this story can help somebody, and if there’s anything to take from this, it would be to please not be so quick to judge the homeless. A lot of them, even the nutty ones, don’t want to be out there. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read my words and chill here with me lol. Love your videos by the way! They have kept me entertained on lots of long nights (:

thanks for the stories. constructive criticism: since i have severe adhd i keep watching and reading the text. there's a couple of misswording/spelling in every video i've seen so far. thanks for the videos again. :)

Damn why is that gameplay so entertaining

I was homeless for a few years, which included my whole pregnancy as well. And that story about 2 guys injecting a 3rd against his will, yeah, that happens a lot. But what terrifies me is that most of the time, in vancouver, anyways, it's far less often someone you dont know, rather its someone that calls you their friend. Maybe you said something that pissed them off or stole something from the wrong person. Maybe they were paid by someone that doesn't like you or any other stupid reason. But the result is, they "make a shot" ( get the drugs ready and in a needle for you" then they give it to you, which because they knowingly made it WAY strong, overdoses you. Its called hotcapping. Once you have dropped, they simply leave. Cops dont do anything cuz who cares about some junkie doing more than they can handle anyways, right? My friend, her name was Angel, was found dead in her room about 3 months ago. When she was found, her pants were half off, and some guy was running out of her room. Cops just let this guy leave. Another friend was murdered because they wanted to rob him of his drugs. They beat him probably over the head with something, then set him on fire. The people that did it were his friends and even ex-wife. The cops tried to say it was an accident. But the 2 foot puddle of fresh blood in the dirt next to where he was burned, along with the fact that another person who was sleeping in a tent about 15 feet away, says he did not hear the guy even making a noise, let alone the screaming there would have been had he been alive/awake when he got set on fire. All that and more says it was not an accident. And im confident about who it was, because one of them yelled at the other to " stfu until we get our story straight" when me and my bf were asking questions because it seemed strange already. Long story short murder is far more common than most people think, but it's more likely going to be done by someone you know, instead of a stranger.

Okay... asich as I love the original guy (and hope he doesn't get replaced). I kinda like this guy well enough... but please don't replace the other guy (it's kinda nice to hear a new voice every now and then)

Had my first brush with homelessness during the entire second half of 2023 in Vegas. It was humbling to say the least. The biggest fear I had was being told to leave the mall I crashed in at night in my car. Sure enough I was, as I was told by a man at 6am on December 21st, something to the tune of “Cited for loitering” and needed to leave or risk having my car taken away if spotted doing it again. Found an apartment that day and have been there since. Despite paying $1500 a month for a studio type room, it sure beats sleeping in my car! The experience taught and continues to teach me the benefits of appreciating the blessings life gives me, big and small and I am forever thankful for that lesson and reminder

12:30 spelling Wales as "Whales" lmao

Yeah ! Being homeless and having to live on the streets is a unfortunate situation 😕. I never been in this situation 😔 💔 , but I try to help out people by donating to food pantries and Good Will Stores when I can . You folks are in my prayers and thoughts 🙏 ❤😊 . God bless us all today and tomorrow 🙏.

this narrator should become a voice actor ngl

I was homeless almost a year. Slept in my truck at my work parking lot since it was secured after I got a job, which saved me. But I'll say this. The biggest threat to homeless people, is other homeless people. They dont WANT jobs, they dont WANT to get off drugs and theyll violently attack anyone who is actually trying to get off the streets. Half of them need help, but the other half deserve prison or worse. I can't tell you how to figure out which is which, but no amount of charity or welfare programs will fix them

Im pretty sure the prof in story 9 was trying to relieve op the stress of school

*asks about times the social safety net doesn't work. "Gosh, it seems like the social safety net doesn't work." You don't see an issue with this line of reasoning? If you asked unplanned pregnancies you'd probably think condoms don't work eather.

I love your videos

I heard you guys had a discord server but I can't find it, can you tell me what the link is?

Being homeless WITHOUT a car is hell

"got me pregnant and cheated on me, but I digress" 🤣🤣

its important to always have spare snacks with you that you know youre not gonna eat, so you can give it to someone who needs it. its not much its something

/i took the dean telling him to withdraw was saying 'you are dealling with a lot right now. do you want to add law school to that?

It feels kinda wrong pressing Like on a video like this, I do have to keep telling myself that I am doin it for the youtuber, not for the subject of the video. I do feel so awful for all them homeless ppl! When I hear stories like this, when it is kids getting thrown out of their homes cuz not living up to parents expectations, I just wanna scream! I just wanna take all them kids in. But ye, I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my hubby and our 2 kids, the oldest moved out 7 years ago, but she is 28, the other 2 are only 9 and 12. So, as me n hubby sleep in the livingroom, there really isn't much room. Plus that most of them kids live in the states, and me in NL.. Still, my heart bleeds for them! And still, I do press Like, just for you, narrator! Have an amazing day y'all ❤

Try being up for two weeks no food barely any water or sleep on a two week crack binge sleeping in alleyways

If I could I'd so join this channel as a narrator 😂

Life will improve with sincere effort. ☘️☘️☘️

I love your vids :)

So sad how many parents kick their children out to the streets

Damn Michigan cities are always pronounced wrong. its not the fault of the narrators theyre just reading the names out how theyre spelled. Its just funny to hear it when im not reading the screen

Really kept throwing me off that "women" was consistently pronounced "woman."

Hey I love this game

As a Michigander, the way you pronounce Muskegon pained me lol. It’s “Musk-ee-gen”, don’t blame you for mispronouncing it though!

I like you as much as the OG narrator, but, my guy, you need an outro. It's so weird to have "swanky" be the last word you hear before the video suddenly ends. I always think the internet has screwed up 😅

So far seeing these stiries, I feel VERY grateful I was homless in my secure car... >~< I do oddly miss the comfy warmth of being buried in a sleeping bag and blankets during winter 🥰 Winter was SCARY bc constant cold but that sleeping bag was my savior when the heated blanket kept eating my battery -_-

Sorry to realize that those in that tread bitching about shelter rules, bureaucratic delay and ect. Where the exact type of people's why those rule and delay occurs and need to be enforced with harsh disrespect, like "the delay was to long as I had to stay sober for a while to get in. (Expand on how they got drunk and broke in the shelter to beat a other hobo, but make it look like they are yhe victims)"

Story 57 sounds insanely ungrateful even he says hes not.

I’m used to crow sounds
