Episode description

This week we are joined by a special guest "Rooster", an eccentric idiosyncratic individual who shares with the audience his upbringing; from his relationship with his parents to the meaning of his tattoos, which demonstrates his outlook towards life. From enduring difficult losses such as losing his loving wife and home, and living on the streets for 17 years despite working multiple jobs within the construction and warehouse industry, Rooster emphasizes the importance of being an honest and earnest man and encourages others not to judge one another based on appearance. Rooster emboldens others to dismantle misconceptions that label the homeless community as dangerous and unruly, especially those created and maintained by media and other hegemonic forces, and promotes the fact that everyone’s mental health matters. 

Furthermore, the force of authority interferes during the last minute of the episode, to which MJ complies and ends the episode with less than 10 minutes of the interview. Want to know what happens next? Stay tuned for next week's episode as we follow up with Rooster and the alleged accusation by the 5-0.
