This interview captures a man who introduces himself under many names—Monster Car, Count Dracula, Mr. Drench Ball—and claims to be tied to everything from car companies to quantum physics. He describes himself as both a builder of planes and freeways and a volunteer bailiff working night shifts. Though he says he has housing through dorms or the Salvation Army, he also frames himself as neither fully homeless nor fully housed, floating in between.
He insists he’s 27, then admits he’s 48. Despite contradictions, he carries a playful, eccentric spirit. He says he doesn’t plan to sleep but instead stays awake through the night shift, calling sheriffs to report infractions. The conversation closes with him insisting he needs nothing, presenting himself as a man with an odd but content outlook on life in the streets.
