No one needs to be loud and argumentative to “keep it real”. No one needs to interrupt, cut off, or preach to people in order to be good on UA-cam. Sometimes it’s better to remain silent.

      He's not a "man of God". Men of God almost never work altruistically, they help you in the hope you'll conform to their beliefs of what's right and wrong. Altruistic people do it because they just want to help people. That's better than giving somebody something to eat in one hand and a Bible in the other.

Those interviews that Mark did with Sharp inspired me a lot in my character and the way I dress and it made me watch the church on a sunday show with Sharp because it's motivational, inspirational and it's all about spreading mental health. It's crazy that a video that Sharp didn't really wanted because he felt regret and even offered to payback for it to be taken down, took him to his evolution where now he is inspiring a lot of people out here such as myself with these topics about bettering yourself and being a motivation to your peers. Mark and Sharp did something legendary with those videos, they inspired a lot of people across the globe. and Yes as different as it sounds, Sharp's philosophy inspired me to always keep my house clean and have discipline in myself.

    Kinda always thought Sharp came off just a bit too tough, but this showed he actually does have respect and humbleness within him. Pure real talk between these two, loved every second of it. Mark is gold indeed, I always thought he puts himself in dangerous situations to get the job done, I just hope God blesses him all the time... I know he does.

    Sharp…bro,on God,you changed my life yesterday listening to the three interviews you did with SWU. And this,doesn’t disappoint one bit either! Once upon a time I fell in love,for a brief moment in time,with a Ho… and I couldn’t believe it,but now I know it really happened. And you sparing Mark the public humiliation he was desperately trying to avoid in his admittance that he too had done the same thing while in his documenting of the ‘underworld’… just made it that much clearer for me. Thank you for being real and down as fuck for your WAY OF LIFE. For it has inspired me to become more aligned with my truths and courageous to walk in mine.

    I’ve been hard on sharp when he does the yelling/screaming yet admittedly entertaining interviews …. But he truly killed it here… fantastic interviewing skills here. And now i kinda see that sharps demeanor toward the guest has everything to do with whether he respects that person. First thing I noticed he had his glasses off for this interview which is obviously a sign of respect. Anyway, I saw sharp’s heart and talent in this interview. Up until now I just saw him as a witty dude who yells a lot.

I’ve heard a lot of these types of stories, that Mark shows and Sharp lived, and think it’s so important to put out there. Some think we just wanna “have fun”, “don’t want to work”, “party too much” when it’s actually the opposite…plus most of us suffer from mental illness and/or some type of trauma.
    It’s also important for addicts/alcoholics to see it, to show where things will/could end up.
