It's insane to think that this person at some point in time, existed, now doesn't, and that we will someday meet the same fate. 8 years after the recording of this video, I was born.. randomly thrown into existence until I too like this man cease to exist.
Start recording yourself too I guess. Although it's easier for a normal person to do that now because we all have smartphones. Nelson had to carry around a clunky camera and all the woes that came with it.
LOL all of humanity will cease to exist. The Earth will eventually be incinerated when our star goes through it's death throes and the only proof of our existence will be a bit of 1970's technology, Voyager I and II floating lifeless through interstellar space. Pretty crazy when you stop and think about it.
Wish all plumbers arrived looking like that! : ) Great bit of recorded 'adulting' on Nelson's part, while the kids sit back and stuff their faces! Pure entertainment.
Uh! I fell in love in 2018 dealing with the last of my heroin withdrawals. That shit fucks with your perception of time. I felt like a fly on the wall. Suffering. But aware and alive. Nelson is like a version of myself? Or a version of us all? Or forget the abstract stuff, I just feel like these every day experiences are as important as any others.
I like Nelson...such a cool guy. I've watched a bunch of his vids so far. I started out with one he did thrift store shopping in the ATL in the 80s. I lived in the area then, still live here now and Nelson reminds me of a friend of mine I love a lot, Jerry. Anyways I'll keep watching long as they keep coming out on here. Thanks!
Smart man! Fix them all while the waters off. Working on old plumbing is extremely sketchy. Great job . It's not like you could run to Home Depot back then and grab parts like you can nowadays .
i love lahoma. she's so sweet and kind in every single one of nelson's videos. definitely one of my favorite nelson characters next to christina and nelson himself, of course.
It's so funny how well he covered his deeply cynical and sarcastic comments about those guys carelessly devouring the entire bowl of food while they are sweating their balls off repairing their plumbing. He looks like the only truly emphatic, ethical, responsible guy, a true friend, among all those self-centered, artificial, careless, narcissistic divas and freaks.
Do you hear what he just said?! 'My landlord is so cheap, he won't even change whatever...' Look at the place now 2019...I guess there's a new landlord!
i'm not even gay but i would blow him and most likely swallow, it's a respect thing, he's making sure nelsons house is running at optimum performance, that's a really cool thing to do, i'm not even gay, but there's nothing wrong with brotherly camaraderie, it's old school, and i'm not even gay, but like his buddy said, kindness is what's important, it's actually weird that i starting typing this before i heard that part too, it's like the universe is telling me the viewers of nelsons videos are nsync with nelson and his friends, but the gay thing i'm straight, i have a gf so i'm not even gay
Love Nelson's videos 💜! I don't think Nelson ever met a person that didn't become his friend 🤗. Those were the days of actually visiting each other's houses and having conversations with your mouths.....not keyboards💕👥💜 🗣️🙋🗽🌈
It is an art studio now and they have dedicated the third-floor to him. A portrait of him and black out hangs there and a TV playing his videos as well. It’s beautiful.
On My Gwad! it's a memorable toilet! imagine Rupaul, sylvia miles, Nelson Sullivan, Kier Kirby, Larry Thom, Lahoma Van Zandt, Lady Bunny, and all the celebrities making Poo in there!! LoL
And rew Tom seems to still be a great guy. You can check out his Twitter page @artisthos. I believe he is part owner of a fresh produce market called Clifton Market in Cincinnati, OH. Hope this helps.
@@TomLohre49 Tom I wish we had a time machine... you guys sure had fun. Was that you in the '84 video with RuPaul and Nelson where you go to a gallery? Glad you're well as are most of the old crew from the looks of things. Take care and great videos
@@markjanssens1658Thank you. I feel like I know you. If went on to be helpful. Landed a life long job as the major domo on my wife's estate. Still painting.
Omg that guy L sitting eating by Bunny could hardly even think what was in what he was eating. I’m like come on dude I can see what’s in it better than you can and you made it!! Lay off the drugs!!
I said a prayer for him a few years ago at 5 Ninth Ave. He is loved and missed.
Ha, only Nelson could make fixing a toilet so entertaining!
Everyone needs a friend like Tom.
I’m obsessed with Nelson.. I hate that he died young, but he burnt bright, he was such a huge personality
ah Nelson. I wish you were here to see how many people love you. it's sad that all of his family members are gone now as well. Aunt Nancy RIP
That is a fuckin best reality show I ever seen, and it is real as it can be..

Inori Chan That’s is why you must enjoy every moment you have. Tomorrow is never promised! Be kind and have fun in whatever you do! 😊
Yes indeed. That’s the price of admission. Cherish. Every. Moment. And follow your creative bliss!
Yep, the wonder of life.

Such a wonderful piece of history. And Lahoma eating macaroni with tuna and mayonnaise!
Nothing compares to Nelson in terms of raw unedited footage.
Thank you Tom ! 🙏
Tom is Cool as Hell....
Nelson was Lucky to have him as a Friend....
tom has two youtube accounts now
I’d say Tom was lucky to have Nelson as a friend, but they were both lucky to have known each other.
Nelson found gold with Tom being so skilled
Schneider from One Day At A Time was already spoken for.
Wish all plumbers arrived looking like that! : ) Great bit of recorded 'adulting' on Nelson's part, while the kids sit back and stuff their faces! Pure entertainment.
🤣Nelson cut off his friend in the middle of him talking about the food lol
He could be adorably sarcastic.
To be fair, it would have taken ten more minutes to get the rest of the info outta him. Tapes were expensive back in the day!
Well yea Lahomas high af 😂
That was hilarious 😂
I would had too. Dude could hardly talk or know what was in it.. too high on drugs!
I could sit with Nelson and watch paint dry
2019 and I fell in love with Nelson
Uh! I fell in love in 2018 dealing with the last of my heroin withdrawals. That shit fucks with your perception of time. I felt like a fly on the wall. Suffering. But aware and alive. Nelson is like a version of myself? Or a version of us all?
Or forget the abstract stuff, I just feel like these every day experiences are as important as any others.
I met him this year, 2020. I always watch his vídeos when I'm having lunch/dinner. 00:10 AM and here I am, eating with Nelson
❤ 2023 for me❤
forever nelson
enigma blue --- agree
Such a subtle wise ass, all done with affection for his friends.
Thank you so much for posting these. Nelson is my favorite person ever and I wasn't even born yet!
Robin I was 9!
I like Nelson...such a cool guy. I've watched a bunch of his vids so far. I started out with one he did thrift store shopping in the ATL in the 80s.

This is another great vlog from Nelson. Mesmerising.
Smart man! Fix them all while the waters off. Working on old plumbing is extremely sketchy. Great job . It's not like you could run to Home Depot back then and grab parts like you can nowadays .
I want to go back in time to see him
I've been in Tom's position many times; knowing just enough to fix it, but not enough to do it quickly and smoothly.
tom’s my dad. this is very funny.
"We've been flushing the toilet with a bucket of water--I'LL SHOW YOU!" made me laugh pretty good
Nelson never fails to make me smile when I need it. Thank you friend 🤗 I wish I had known you and could have returned the favor ❤️
i love lahoma. she's so sweet and kind in every single one of nelson's videos. definitely one of my favorite nelson characters next to christina and nelson himself, of course.
Homie couldn't explain the food in the bowl. LOL
It's so funny how well he covered his deeply cynical and sarcastic comments about those guys carelessly devouring the entire bowl of food while they are sweating their balls off repairing their plumbing.
He looks like the only truly emphatic, ethical, responsible guy, a true friend, among all those self-centered, artificial, careless, narcissistic divas and freaks.
Nelson is the best. Rip
I'm ready to work on your plumbing. I've always volunteered for the wealthy.
Tom You look so hot there!!! I go to send you a facebook request to see your paints
Hey Tom!!!!! You really helped Nelson out here !!
Reminds me of a beautiful story of a couple. "The view from here" great and sad story.
Authentic NYC. So glamorous 😛
Good to have kind friends😊
Tom was the man!
Nelson was such a beautiful person
I wonder if this apt 5 ninth ave still exists
Its an art studio now and the back yard in some kind of cafe.
It's been turned into a gallery. Fort Gansevoort Gallery
Thanks for the birthday wishes for ru Paul ...November 17th whom I sharre😍
Kind Friends......
Everyone needs kind friends......
Amen To that ....!!
Lol he was still telling him the ingredients when he walks away
😆😆 I was cracking up!
Lmaooo
I love when Nelson gets all concerned
I can't believe Nelson wanted to remove his mole.It works for him,it is what some would call a beauty mark.
He removes It. There's a video, look it up
Tom was so hot 😍😍😍
Do you hear what he just said?!
'My landlord is so cheap, he won't even change whatever...'
Look at the place now 2019...I guess there's a new landlord!
NYC how does it look pictures please
@@jesusarmendariz2904 I think it was a restaurant for a while and an art gallery there's videos of ppl going inside on UA-cam
Nelson was the landlord lol
He owned the place lol
what a cute plumber!
i'm not even gay but i would blow him and most likely swallow, it's a respect thing, he's making sure nelsons house is running at optimum performance, that's a really cool thing to do, i'm not even gay, but there's nothing wrong with brotherly camaraderie, it's old school, and i'm not even gay, but like his buddy said, kindness is what's important, it's actually weird that i starting typing this before i heard that part too, it's like the universe is telling me the viewers of nelsons videos are nsync with nelson and his friends, but the gay thing i'm straight, i have a gf so i'm not even gay
JHOT247 I think ur in the closet...be real with urself and come out...once ur gay, u’ll never go bk 😂
JHOT247 Sure lot of “I’m not even gay” repeating.
Are you sure you arent gay and don't know it yet?@@jhot2477
You would wanna Get Plunnged To lol
Love Nelson's videos 💜! I don't think Nelson ever met a person that didn't become his friend 🤗. Those were the days of actually visiting each other's houses and having conversations with your mouths.....not keyboards💕👥💜 🗣️🙋🗽🌈
Perfect ending with the birthday message today is my birthday!
Absolutely love Nelson. Come back and be my friend.
Miss you Nelson!
Tom is handy, good looking and has a great voice !!
love
And we now know Dick is a scorpio, which is why he was such great friends with Nelson, who was a Pisces. Two water signs.
Can't believe they turned 5 ninth into a Restaurant for a time. Makes me so mad! It should have been preserved as a heritage building!
It is an art studio now and they have dedicated the third-floor to him. A portrait of him and black out hangs there and a TV playing his videos as well. It’s beautiful.
Now this apartment is estimated by Zillow to be worth freaking 1.2 million bucks, bet he bought it for like ten grand.
Konga 5000 whatever you know what I meant
He rented
ً lots in NYC
It's a whole townhouse with a backyard.
Nelson is my friend!
He’s my friend too! Have we met? Lol
I always assumed Nelson was just renting the place as an apartment, but I guess if he's doing his own repairs he must have owned it
12 hours after this video was shot, this house flooded
#teamNelson
even here Nelson creates some very nice pov. man, too bad they eat like squatters. now search for Ru's appearance on the Gong Show
1:29 I wish I had someone to orientate my knobs. 😏
You could find a toilet and the street back then too!!! Hahaha Cool.
RuPaul was on the Gong Show??
From the way his friend/plumber works, i don't blame Nelson for being worried. hehe
The Pioneers of The Meat Market.....
Nelson...... You are So Funny....!!
The I Love Lucy of the 80's.
10:54- SHA-MOKIN' DAT SHWAGG !!!
Is Tom still around?
he commented on this video about 2 years ago
Yes he’s on Facebook. He is probably in his 70’s now.
I really hope he did actually do something for that guy for all that work he did.
Holy crap that camreas huge! Vloggers complain about there camreas being heavy. Look at that beast sheesh... Lol
Woah....crazy watching this video again after I was inside 5 Ninth last month
Ain't nothing like having a butch man around the house
👍🏻80s
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a fun visit
It's like Proto-HGTV.
7:12 That toilet is disgusting!!
Yea the whole place is a shit hole, I couldn’t live in a place like that . I’m not a clean freak but my god
@@mattlovell4213: To be fair a lot of it is the light bulbs and the video of the time.
But yeah, this goes against the whole fastidious gay guy stereotype. Just looks like a bunch of dudes living without women around.
@@TS-qq7vr Bullshit!! That toilet is nasty and the "lighting " of the '80's ain't got nuthin to do with it...
On My Gwad! it's a memorable toilet! imagine Rupaul, sylvia miles, Nelson Sullivan, Kier Kirby, Larry Thom, Lahoma Van Zandt, Lady Bunny, and all the celebrities making Poo in there!! LoL
I need a handy man friend 🔧😕
Cute plumber! Too bad doing everything shirtless has gone out of fashion a bit. Lol
Good God......only a New York queen would talk about fashionable plumbers
I just realized I have a phobia about nasty old rundown buildings
Once the basic utilities start to fail (water, gas, electricity) they do lose their vintage charm.
What ever happened to tom?
And rew Tom seems to still be a great guy. You can check out his Twitter page @artisthos. I believe he is part owner of a fresh produce market called Clifton Market in Cincinnati, OH. Hope this helps.
@@baritone90 yes, I am still painting, fixing plumbing in Cincinnati. Saving Clifton Market, the first community owned grocery store.
Tom Lohre I’m glad to hear that you’re doing well. I love to see you in these videos and your beautiful artwork. You’re so talented and handsome.
@@TomLohre49 Tom I wish we had a time machine... you guys sure had fun. Was that you in the '84 video with RuPaul and Nelson where you go to a gallery? Glad you're well as are most of the old crew from the looks of things. Take care and great videos
@@markjanssens1658Thank you. I feel like I know you. If went on to be helpful. Landed a life long job as the major domo on my wife's estate. Still painting.
4:27 Too funny
Love these videos. But why no shirt? It seems not very sanitary .
was hot in there
I was hot.
Sanitary in the 80s wasn't a big deal. Dam get dirty !
That's what soap is for!
@@TomLohre49 yes you were!
Omg that guy L sitting eating by Bunny could hardly even think what was in what he was eating. I’m like come on dude I can see what’s in it better than you can and you made it!! Lay off the drugs!!
I bet a lot of people volunteered to clean Nelson's pipes
I hate dirty sinks
His tub and toilet were disgusting
this house looks filthy af
I was apprehensive for a minute when I turned this video on you know "Fixing the Plumbing"with a gay plumber.
I agree dude there definitely something fishy goin on between them 2
The Bicycle Chronicles LOL Got his ass plunged
Nelson sullivan is a really interesting guy i watch his videos everynow and then.😄 🙂 👨🧍♂️🎥📼 📹
