15 years clean off ice and watching this made me remember how utterly EXHAUSTING it is to be a slave to the drug and how exhausting it is to love and be around an addict. It's just go go go. Godspeed to this young man. ✌️🤟🧡💛

If he's got oppositional defiance disorder tell him he isn't allowed to give up crystal meth.

He’s the kind of guy that borrows your car without asking sells the tires & gets mad your upset

Probably the #1 most untrustworthy individual Mark has ever interviewed. Yikes! This guy will steal your shit and then help you look for it.

He left his baby in the house and blamed the mother instead of going back in to save his baby... yeah, the denial of being a total coward would mess with your mind.

This guy will prey on any weaker person or situation, the commenters are extremely gracious.

This is honestly in my opinion one of the most disturbing interviews on this channel. This guy is absolutely dangerous and a straight menace to Society, by choice. Fkn scary

"House got shot up...Hit a gas line ... Baby Mama got out... Didn't get the Baby out....house exploded " Makes TOTAL SENSE.. and y'all believe this? comment section is packed with incredible gullibility... Drug prevention not Enabling.

He has no respect for anyone or any thing , even him self.. a very dangerous personality type....

“ Its hard to do small intricate things like rolling blunts “💀😂

Why didnt you grab your daughter? You cant blame the mother without blaming yourself.

The fact he doesn't realize he is the Maniac in the tunnel is blowing my mind.

dude choked his sisters son 3 or 4 times and still expects to stay at her house? lawd!

I'm amazed this dude has lived this long. He's going to pick the wrong one soon enough.

He caused most of his own problems by breaking rules. He need to learn how to respect other people place and property.

Oh God, it is a struggle to empathize with this dude. I wish him well

I'm two years clean off ice, sitting and feeding my 6 month old baby while I watch this. seeing him doesn't make me mad, crave or feel anger towards him. instead, I wish I could tell him he's talented!! anyone who can fix a starter just by watching a video on it has talent! if you ever get tired, go impatient man. sleep the first week of detox. when you complete two months get a job working on engines.your smart enough to be a mechanic. and your story could change alot of lives. please!?? I'm going to add this. Three, four years ago I became a drug felon. The place of business it happened outside of, I'm now the assistant manager of. It is a small town but, the manager watched me get my life together, and decided to be the first to show trust in me. It's kinda really cool when I think about it.

Wow this is terrifying. His behavior just keeps escalating. He knows he is doing the wrong thing but he can’t/won’t stop. He will do anything it takes to get ahead even if someone else gets hurt because of it. He doesn’t feel bad about it either.

This guy is complete bad news. People should stay away from him at all costs.

It must be utterly exhausting to be in this man’s head. The embodiment of hyperactive.

I watched every second of this and replayed numerous parts to ensure I digested this young man's story. He is definitely not dumb, by any means. I think he has experienced more PTSD than most of us could have imagined. Hearing more about his younger childhood memories would provide significant insight as to how his brain chemically developed to function in such a severely traumatized and defensive manner. I feel his interview was 98% authentic and can legitimately be used for statistical data collection. Respect to this guy for being incredibly transparent and open. This is only 1 person's story out of millions, but I will never forget this interview.

Well you can't be choking your cousin. His sister was being kind, and he does this. This guy is bad news. Give up the drugs.

I worked with young children with ODD, FASD, all the acronyms. It's as scary as is heartbreaking. At times they were "normal" and just needed to be nurtured and sometimes they were terrifying and exhibited scary behavior. This guy is a deep thinker and quite intelligent in a non conventional way. With early intervention he may have stood a chance at living a better life. Sad.

He is terrifying looking and sounding. When he said he was only 26 I was astonished.

He seems to be very proud of his lifestyle

This clown has created all his problems. I have zero sympathy for someone who takes no accountability

Not a person anyone wants around because he likes being a jerk. Keep fighting my friend and stay alone. He seems proud of his behavior. The worst friend possible. Selfish and its always about him and everyone being against him. He expects fair treatment, yet he treats everyone like crap.

My middle nephew that we've adopted has ODD and it is extremely trying, to say the least, to deal with. He does irritating things all the time for negative attention and only because he KNOWS we don't want him to be doing them. He's careless and a slob. Very self-centered, but at the same time has a heart of gold and cares for others when no one else does. His newest ailment that he plays is a "cough". A "cough" that only happens when it's time to settle down and watch cartoons before bedtime. Before the cough it was sniffling, to where we'd tell him to blow his nose. Then it was clearing his throat and playing with his hair. The reason why I know it's for attention is that if I threaten to send him to bed early, miraculously the cough, sniffling, etc; stops. All three of my nephews that we've adopted have ADHD severely and having three at once has been very trying at times. Their mother did uppers and downers for street drugs during all of her pregnancies, including her eldest son that is 21 that was adopted out as an infant. They were 6,7, and 11 when we got them home with us. They have come so far. So very proud of them. Cannot wait to see what they do with their lives and how they blossom and help make this world a better place.

"Never Accept Defeat" He's a drug addict.. He's Accepted that Defeat.

This man's biggest fear is silence and calm

Don't confuse intelligence with fast talking. They're not one in the same. Either way, Godspeed young man. Hope you get clean.

The words that come to mind for me to describe him are apathetic, energetic, pessimistic, callous, egotistical and calculated. A lot of people say he's intelligent but to me this is just a back and forth conversation/interview. Maybe because he's coherent, talks fast and not out of it, people are describing that as intelligent. Not saying he isn't but I'm just not seeing how this interview portrays intelligence.

As a therapist, Im always fascinated by the resiliency people are able to find even in the lowest depths of hell.

That addiction is the kind where you don’t realize how far gone you are before you’re too far gone. IYKYK. Wishing this young man the absolute best. Addicts are some of the most interesting people full of so much potential.

Drugs are not a bad habit. It's closer related to a bad relationship than a habit. Addicts have a co-dependant relationship with what ever they are addicted to. If you can't understand and accept that then you are not ready to overcome your addictions yet.

This guys got it all figured out. String theory, theology, psychology....its incredible.

This is a dangerous dude. Willing to do anything to get high with little remorse. U can tell hes been in a lot of fights. This may be an unpopular opinion, but i wonder how much medicating children for being "different" ie - not able to conform to sitting for hours in an educational institution, paves the way for later drug use and life in the fringes. I mean, he even says, he was already medicated on a daily basis w adderal....

While his story sounds terrible. He seems to make excuses. Still sad his story but he definitely has growing to do. Best of luck.

If you told me I would listen to a crystal addict talk about string theory this AM, I'd call you a damn liar. SWUB never fails to surprise me!

losing a child is the worst pain i've ever felt. i genuinely feel empathy for this kid.. damn. i hope he can get his mental health addressed, he's intelligent but it's being put into all of the wrong things.. keep your head up bro, fuck that crystal.

People on here describing him as some sort of evil person. The guy's grown up with oppositional defiance disorder and severe ADHD. The poor bloke was fighting a personal war before his life even got started.

this guys funny af to listen to he’s like a 3 year old in a grown man’s body 😂

"it was all healed...except for where the bone was sticking out" --My Guy

Never comment on these threads but I'm in shock with his lack of accountability and remorse. His house was shot up ( I'm presuming it was because of something he or his partner did). He got out himself and blames the girlfriend for not grabbing the little baby. He didn't even say that he tried. Fair enough might have been impossible but to show no remorse or guilt for what happened his child ( whether he is at fault or not) is very worrying. Regardless of the circumstances a natural emotion for surving a situation like that would be guilt for those who didn't survive. Hopefully it's the drugs that have him so devoid of such feelings and its not his default.

This dude is truly wasted talent. Smart , observant, well spoken. I hope he pulls it together.

The honesty! This guy seems like the type that will steal your false teeth and then smile at you with your own teeth.

You people judging this man in the comments really think that 9/10 people surviving on the street don't think the same way? Wake up

My brother has add, adhd, and odd. The behavioral issues are severe. He thankfully has straightened up his behavior a bit. Started a business.

I fostered a boy for 14 years that had the same kind of personality, it was hell , I could never trust him , I finally had to save my other kids from him even though I loved him with all my heart ❤️ We found knives that had names of my kids strapped to them when he set our house on fire , I still love him today. He is now is jail for sexual assault to a minor . I will never have him around my family again to keep them safe but I will always have him in my heart and hope one day he will find peace in his heart , God bless him

My son was diagnosed with ODD. It’s a real thing and it’s exactly how he described it

This is the kind of guy I'm always scared of running into in LA. I worked downtown and always took the train and bus to get around and these types of people always make it so treacherous...it didn't even seem like he had a tragic childhood to make him this way.

Mark you ain’t talking to a man, you are talking to a demon. First time I felt Physically sick listening to an interview, and I’ve listened to thousands over the last 10 years.

This guy is an intelligent young man, his ADHD and addiction is so hard for him, I wish him all the best.

At least he’s being honest about himself he basically let it be known he doesn’t feel any remorse.. that’s a mental thing.. it just makes me so upset how back in the day they were really pushing adderall to little kids smh

Man, he has been through the most. Especially the loss of his baby, may he find healing. Mental health is seriously ignored the world over, I wish more could be done to help.

Seems like a menace to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ Edit: y'all saying he's so smart lol wtf are you watching

Mark have any of your interviewees ever got aggressive with you or tried to fight you?

Listening to this young man speak made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Very disturbed individual. No doubt if he wasn’t thrown out of the school for O threat tolerance…. he would have shot up the school! He was very specific on how he was going to do it and whoever he told, went to the authorities not once but twice thank goodness! He is a very angry individual , with very little to no emotion, whose face is expressionless when he speaks about doing whatever he has to do get what he wants….. He steals from people I assume that he perceives as having a harder time defending themselves like women or the elderly. Reading between the lines it is obvious that the Military did not want him. He’s a walking time bomb waiting to go off

Mark didn’t have to ask too many questions on this one, he just let dude keep going!

Man.. I've been clean from ice for 1 year & 4 months... this just reminds me of how my mentality was then, hustle, hustle, hustle.. SO EXHAUSTING. You can tell he has ADHD by the way he explains his education background. I have ADHD as well.

He's pretty interesting as a human. Sort of exhausting which I can imagine he doesn't meet many people like himself and that probably feels isolating. Too bad all that brain power is geared towards self destructive and criminal behavior.

He’s not at all likable or trustable, but he is at best mildly interesting.

He’s so relatable. For one, he learned how to replace a starter using KZfaq.

he’s very articulate and knows a lot of information, i learned a few things from this was very open minded to his words. he clearly has issues but there’s faith in him being great some day. i hope for the best for this young man.

It’s sad to watch videos like these sometime. I see a twinkle is some peoples eyes that show they have a talent they’re good at and would pay them a livable wage. But it’s sad when you come to the realization that most won’t ever get that opportunity and the small fraction of people that get it may not take full advantage. Good videos Mark, always looking for the next.

I’ve watched many of Mark’s interviews. But this is the first that was truly disturbing to get through. This man has such negative energy and is difficult to listen to.

I can't watch the video all at once, I have to take him in bits, giving me some serious anxiety. I have to say, his "life mottos" are spot on. As much as he is all over the place, he has a clear thought process in some regards. He just reminds me of the worlds longest run-on sentence. I'm just waiting for a comma or a period to take a breath in between stories.

Obviously I feel for the guy but he has no sense of responsibility for his actions and consequences. The part about his daughter is horrifying, but I caught him even blaming his baby's mom for it - they were both home and both ran out to save themselves, but he said he doesn't know why she didn't grab their daughter. Why didn't HE grab his daughter?

I have an iPod. No I don’t. It’s a tablet. I found a piano. No I didn’t. Keyboard I have friends. No I don’t. I have associates.

smart dude. kinda reminds me of my old best friend a little bit, once he finds a passion and replaces his addiction i can see him doing well for himself. anything is possible.

It's sad, he has moments in his life that he says are fun, but it's just a defense. He's never gotten past the adolescent kid pushing buttons phase.

My nephew has ODD. I try but I honestly cannot stand to be around him and I’m terrified of what he will be like as an adult. He’s getting tons of help but I don’t think it’s working.

That’s the thing about addicts/addictive personalities - they are ALL above average intelligence, and could change the world if they had just gotten better guidance. He seems extremely smart.

He on full throttle all the time. He’s pretty smart . Shame he was labelled ODD when he was young as now he simply believes that’s the way he is. I hope he can get well.

I’ve known guys like this. Hopefully he figures it out because the only thing I’ve seen work for these types is if they choose to do better themselves. He has a lot of growing up to do. Wish the best for you man.

This guy looks so much like a kid I went to middle school with, personality too. Seems like a really smart guy, he could pull it together n get his life on track. He’s not a lost cause yet, just needs to change his mindset and get into rehab. Hope to see a follow up with him

I don’t want to make blanket statements, but many meth addicts that I’ve met in my life are unbelievably talented. A lot of them with awful childhoods, trauma, and undiagnosed or untreated adhd. So many good people caught up in this lifestyle.

This guy is going through life stealing and being on drugs.. drugs to live and live for drugs.. terrible

As scary as this kid is, I did find his theories of the various gods very interesting. Other than that, he seems very volatile and dangerous. It made me worry for Mark in case this one overstayed his welcome.

Everyone yearns to be loved and cherished.

Ugh. This guy is my worst nightmare. :(

If you ever come to Boston, I'd love to tell you and the world my story . Would be so hard but my biggest goal and dream is to use my story to maybe help others. One way or another I will use my struggles and history to help others. Even if I got through to one person, just one. Then I would know I accomplished what I set out to do. An opportunity like that is priceless. Much love and respect for what you do.

The embodiment of menace, and he loves being “trouble” it’s what makes him unique in his mind. He loves attention even if it’s negative.

Listening to this for several minutes hurt my brain and I can’t imagine how his feels - one minute he will succeed with what ever he puts his mind to and the next he didn’t make it in the military despite wanting to do it.

Love your channel. You're the undisputed GOAT of interviews. Thank you for shining a light on the hidden parts of America.

Man transitioned from ICP to string theory to religion.

The transcript should be interesting to read. I hope K reviews the video and transcript so he can self evaluate his process of thinking. Edit: With this economic collapse of nations, this is the go-to guy for survival. He'll know where to get the goods and how to build the network.

Someone should have told him , don't give up drugs

When people talk about "Florida Man," this is a spitting imagine of a Florida Man. I grew up around a lot of people like this (from lack of education+poverty+abuse) in the panhandle. I hope he gets well, but, having immediate family members on the same path, I know the odds are against him.

After watching this makes me feel how blessed and grateful to be clean for 3 and half years!

I really hope K gets a follow up in the future; i have a feeling that he's coming off of tweaking from doing alot of meth. I've never used the stuff but he appears strung out and wound up. Would be nice to see him chat without sounding all revved up. The reason I hope he comes back is because South Carolina is a unique State and he has an interesting story.

Looks like somebody went into a lab and said "Let me make a real life version of Butthead".

Damn..this kid sounds like a 14 year old Me. I hope he can get better and find his way💜🙏

One of the fastest 30 minute videos you've out😂😂 grew up around so many people like this from kids to their parents. Thank God I never got addicted to drugs other then weed and alcohol. Best of luck!

If there was ever a time for an intervention this would be it. It may save someones life. If he doesn't get some help he'll be dead or in prison for a long time.

I admire how u r able to let your interviewers take their armor off and expose from underneath all that their humane bits of soft tissue, or as u brilliantly say: their soft white underbelly. Great job!

"A man with a truck can always make money....we say that because a man with a truck can always make money".... profound

Choked out his sister's son three times. Kid couldn't have even been ten years old. then wants to stay till his check comes. I can't even listen to this kid.

Yeah, sure. Taking somebody else's property right off of their porch and selling it is reasonable. Give me a break with this guy.

I always wish the interviews are longer . Bc they are so interesting. Including this one .
