He doesn't answer questions, he takes you on a journey, an amazing story teller

[@willatwood]

Well when you're talking to someone who's as high as he is, it don't take much for them to talk. Luckily, this guy can keep himself talking about the same subject and talking about what the question is about. Usually you ask one of these guys a question, they'll answer but then they'll take you down the rabbit hole.

I (tried to date) a guy who did almost his whole sentence in the hole lol and he is very crazy. Cant have a normal convo with him even though it feels like you are, something always reminds you you're not. He'd suddenly do or say something thats totally irrelevant and quite alarming. Cant get a word in edgewise because he's going a mile a minute. And his laugh is unbridled like, it freaked me out, and i stopped talking to him....hes in prison again now for bringing a gun to WORK. i think he did it on purpose because the outside is too much for him, hes verryyyyyyy paranoid. Yet he doesnt do an INCH of drugs. At all. Hes just...crazy. "Spooky" looks like a taller version of the guy too.

Even though he has 300 Film credits to his name, Desperado, Heat, just to name a few. During his time as a youth he was in and out of detention centers all over California. They included Folsom, Soledad and San Quentin. But he was a light weight or welterweight champion in every prison he has been in.

It’s a sad reality

[@jc_80]

Having the gift of the gab makes you an interesting person to speak to socially; but it does not necessarily make you intelligent, However you could come across a fairly intelligent person in college that has the worst common sense, which usually results in poor choices and reckless behaviour that can be equally as dangerous. It’s terrible that for some from birth the odds were unfairly stacked against them. No child in this world deserves such an abusive start in life, I find it’s also the friends you have around you. The kind that can destroy you are always waiting for the perfect opportunity to come into your life at any age. Sadly sometimes good parents can give the best guidance but some children don’t see their parents have their best intentions at heart until it’s too late...

Spoken like a true citizen. This street shit isn't for you. His story is not entertainment, he actually lived it. You can't even imagine the level you need to reach to understand his words.

[@samanthawilliams9232]

His voice is captivating. He has so much to offer the world. I wish he knew how much he has impacted people who have heard his story.

[@haruspex54]

Completely captivated by this man, his beautiful voice, his expressiveness. He is incredibly articulate, highly intelligent, and I can see him converting his life story into a one-man play with him as the actor. I can sense his great internal strength, as well. I hope he has transformed his life and is doing well these days.

[@marykrabach8692]

Nate I have worked with addicts my entire life. Tweakers tell stories like this all the time. They say they are gang members, navy seals, they all supposedly have masters or PHD’s. They are great storyline tellers. Most are delusional, narcissistic, grandiose, liars. Bottom line... when they are using, they will hurt you for the drug. He belongs to the “orphan “ gang.. come on!!!I have seen these behaviors for 30 years. His stories dont line up. He is lying. Meth, actually all drugs change the brain drastically.

[@brunoaracal8962]

This guy is a natural historyteller,so natural and honest He deserves a better life

[@calidecali]

Hes a natural bullshitter. So this is your role model? Let your kids hear him out too. Nobody deserves anything you work hard and stay out of trouble. Pendejo

One of the best interviews yet I love this dude's energy

[@LawEnforcementExplains]

This guys is tweaked out, but much respect to him for being able to tell his story.

[@minor2440]

His facial expressions seems to suggest he's did a few lines before the interview, seemed like he had a hard life, the reason he grew up so screwed up

[@codyconway5353]

He is a stutterer. Not tweeking. I have a best friend I’ve known since before I was a teenager and his mannerisms are exactly the same.

[@LawEnforcementExplains]

Buffalo Cody I beg to differ partner because from my experience this is tweaking.

[@jasonsizemore3893]

It couldn't be from doing meth and heroin at the age of 10 through his teens... Or could it? Don't be so judgmental, people can change for the better. Unfortunately somethings in the past don't always go away.

[@transtibialog9248]

Permanent damage from any drug at a young age. I bet he straight, just how he is now

[@katiehildebrand9402]

Spooky’s soul is deep. His tragedies haunt him, yet bring out so much in him. I can relate to so much. My high school sweetheart and daughters dad (we had her at 16), did a 4 year stent in prison. His childhood was filled with abuse and neglect. He also got his GED in prison, and read every single day. He educated himself. Fast forward to the present day. We are 43 and 44. He vowed never to go back to prison. You are right, you will get killed for looking at someone wrong, saying the wrong thing, etc.. We are grandparents now, two amazing grown daughters with college educations, he found a job and realized he has an amazing hidden talent. He’s been designing and making wood furniture for year’s and year’s now! We live near Telluride Colorado, and he has made many famous people thing’s for their vacation homes! It’s been 19 years and he never went back to prison, nor has he ever been in trouble again. Unfortunately, he still deals with PTSD of childhood and prison. I am his go to person to talk to and trust. Spooky, love and life is possible. Keep searching. You are so worthy of it all.

Truest comment on KZbin. And, hi neighbor, we moved from Los Angelos, left this life behind and it’s been 19 years of good things happening to us, but I also have mental illness. I struggle daily. The difference is that my husband is my support. I thank God for him every day, even when I can’t stand any thing about my world. I am beyond grateful he is my life. Good luck to you and your family!

Ok hes about #6 Ive watched of your interviews. Hes the first one that caught me off guard & how respectful you were to stay quiet & let him tell his story his way, they all have, he just didn't need the direction pointed out. Anyway what a moving interview. Your interview makes me want to meet him! Your video's really need to be seen on a national level!
