Great job, internet. It's nice to see people mobilize for a good cause every now and then.

they're going to get him into studio and realize he always talks like he's on a radio show because he's insane.

If that turns out to be true he should also be hired as an actor, because he does an extraordinarily convincing impression of a well adjusted person.
 
I'd gladly donate money to him if I had a way. He seems like a really good guy who just made some mistakes in life. His voice is definitely gold.

Yup on both counts. It looks like something will come of it, hopefully it's enough to get his life back in order. Dude's clearly very talented and his voice was indeed incredible. I do love it when the internets come together to rally behind someone like him.

doubtful, its a direct feed to the radio station.

wow dude man almost lost it knowing he was flying to NY to see his 94 year old mom whom he hasnt seen for a long time according to him. damn.
 
Wow, they just got him a $10,000 contract to do voice over for local credit unions. And a listener just offered him $15,000 to pay for him to work for the radio station. People are awesome sometime.
 
i hope someone is recording this id love to listen :D
 
yeah, this guy is going to be fine now.

imagine what he must feel like, having his life turned around so quickly.
 
Hate to be the cynic here but did anyone ever think to run a background check on him first?

It is pretty awesome what everyone is doing for this guy but you would think they would talk to prior employers, family members, etc before throwing jobs, mortgages and cars at him.
 
A nice feel good story for a change on the Internet.

Great to see people band around to help him.

He already admitted to being addicted to drugs and booze which is what made him homeless in the first place. He says he's 2 years clean so we'll see if he takes his second chance seriously and I'm expecting he will since he probably already hit his lowest point. He reminds me of Bubbles from The Wire.
 
Great news! The guy sounds quite smart. I hope for the best.
 
Here's hoping his sudden success doesn't put him back on the wagon :\

I'm happy for him, but people have a tendency to regress.

That is a YouTube thing - after 300 views, it stops logging and doesn't update live for a bit...
