Beneath the Neon with Matthew O’Brien

Ever since the people living in the tunnels under Vegas hit the news people have been asking me to go visit. I found out today that my new friend Matthew O’Brien was the one who first broke the story to the media. Matthew impressed me. He is much more than a writer. He is a friend to the people beneath the neon.

Watch this short interview I did with Matthew directly after our second tunnel visit

It was a very surreal experience for me. Almost like a bad science fiction movie. I am still trying to process everything. I mean, one second we are in the darkest madness, and then up on the Strip surrounded by extreme wealth.

Having the camera crew with me was wonderful mainly because finally the story behind the stories will be told. Not my story, but the story of some amazing people trying to make the best of hard times.
