in my life have spent tens of thousands of dollars on clothes not that I'm
addicted to buying clothes it's that it's very tough to find clothes that fit
me properly being six five and 200 pounds the average clothes maker does
not make large tall or tall size pants without them being big and tall so as a
prerequisite you have to be obese and tall for clothes to fit you properly
I've dealt with this discrimination my whole life it's fine I get it it's all
about the numbers so to find the best selection I often shop online
of course I usually get great discounts was I shop around looking for large tall
shirts large tall hoodies or just tall pants when they arrive sometimes they
fit me sometimes they don't it's a gamble and it's a gamble I've become
accustomed to over the years the end result of this is me acquiring a large
amount of clothes that I don't need
as Christmastime rolls around I have to figure out what's the best way to
distribute these clothes I asked around and a lot of people recommended you know
Goodwill Salvation Army safe nest a few years ago I did contact safe nest which
is a clothing fundraiser for women that have been battered and I gave away ten
garbage bags full of clothes to safe nest it was not available for a tax
deduction and they just came and picked it up the worst part about it was they
called me once a week for months on end asking hey you got any more of those
clothes not you know oh thanks for giving us ten garbage bags full of
clothes worth thousands of dollars it was hey we want more and that really
rubbed me the wrong way so this time around I did some research to find the
best charity to give clothes to the process in which they deliver those
clothes to the homeless or they just resell them for cash which they then
spend hopefully to help the homeless there's a pretty depressing process it
turns out most of these companies like Salvation Army and especially good will
they have CEOs that make 200k millions of dollars a year whatever it is way too
much for what they're doing not enough of my closed proceeds is actually going
to the programs so after much thought and suggestions they said the best thing
to do was to actually just go to North Las Vegas go to go to tent city go find
the homeless and give them your clothes hand to hand sound like a great idea
could be some risk involved so I recruited my main man Michael Hague you
might know him from the fight at the Venetian video
a trained killer in jujitsu long time a good friend guy I trust last thing I
want to do is get shanked by the homeless when I'm going to do a good
deed so he's got my back I don't know what to expect
let's go to North Las Vegas and see what happens
here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane fixing
them bricks and and all his reindeers pulling on the range bells are ringing
children singing all is merry and bright so hang your stockings and say your
prayers cause Santa Claus comes tonight here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa
Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
how's it going I would want to give up clothes to the homeless now you can't do
it here nobody to buy anything here maybe clothes here buddy given ask
yourself ok on floor master that's the best place to pull over and do it thank
you
yeah thank you
Jim any dress shirts got some dress shirts

thirty-eight shorts I had two tips I can keep control the
too much hips so I got rid of her philosophy was here in blue nose people
but she's a purple nose I paid $20 more see like the sweetest
dog everybody there she just don't like other dogs I don't care for the pocket
normal life Marjorie extra-large jacket Oh
no problem thank you a bunch extra shoes
it's good pressure right there you're so a merry little Christmas all in all it
was a very rewarding experience in the past I have kind of rag down people that
brag about helping out the homeless on social media or giving to charities and
stuff I kind of get it where you want some sort of a pat on the back for doing
a good thing or you could look at it as spreading the word to get others to do
it I was really surprised about how nice everybody was never really felt in
danger and the biggest thing that it took away from it was the the happiness
that I brought the smiles on their faces and that no one is really greedy my
biggest fear was that they were just gonna just take all the clothes just so
they can you know trade them selim but everybody took their fair share
a lot of guys didn't take anything they're like oh you don't have a size 40
those pants don't fit me the one guy asked for a baseball hat I showed him
five different you know Yankees Braves Tigers had scales not
enough only Cleveland I only rep Cleveland bro which was uh I guess kind
of funny you see the video of everybody coming up and just finding what they
really wanted out of the clothes that I had to give and I definitely do it again
I gave away like five pairs of shoes to I think next time I'm gonna bring cases
of water more hoodies and I heard candy is good for people that are
rehabilitating from addiction to give them something to chew on something
sweet messes with the brain chemistry so they don't want the crack or heroin or
morphine or whatever they're on so I might make a video briefly showing that
the next time I do it until then I encourage you guys to do the same and
I'm out Merry Christmas hang a shining star upon the highest
have yourself a merry little Christmas know
you
