🕑 Added 2021-02-11 18:06:48 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Haha thanks for the messages about the Netflix doc I appeared in. I haven't watched it and probably won't as I cringe so hard when I see myself on screen, like once I finished editing a video I cant re watch it or I just shrivel up. I think I'm only in it very briefly which is good with me, it was a fun experience though being interviewed last year. I'll tell you guys about it on the next livestream which I hope to do soon.
EDIT: It's called Crime Scene Vanishing at the Hotel Cecil (not sure if it's any good lol)
Anyways, so as I said only the one new one this week as I'm getting back on track, but back to two videos as per usual next week! Here's the two videos which are on patreon at the moment which haven't gone public yet in case you haven't given them a goo. Cheers! :)

Alexandru Boghean
Found him in ep. 3, at around 42 min and 15 sec :P
Kristine Johnson
I haven't watched it yet, but so glad to hear you were interviewed and included! I'll definitely be watching it now. Glad you got a little bit of rest, Mike, and feeling a wee bit better and back to your ol' content creating self.
Honor Grace
No clue as to why you would cringe seeing yourself on screen. Seeing you in conjunction with your witty banter is absolutely what makes me watch your vids! You’re really very handsome and apparently modest as well. Your Wife is one lucky lady 🍀❤️ Thanks for being you! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

I was squeezing when I saw you 😂

I was going to give the doc a miss because, as many of us, I've seen so many things on that case. But knowing Mike was going to make an appearance, well, had to watch it then. And I was really pleasantly surprised at how it was put together, the assortment of people they interviewed, and the way the story unfolded across the episodes - layering fact with mystery and conspiracy, to finally unpick the very tragic but ultimately innocent disappearance and death of Elisa Lam. I particularly liked the use of Elisa's own words from her tumblr posts to underscore the whole thing, and make sure that who she was as a person was a key piece of the story and not the forgotten part behind all the chaos of her death. A really excellent piece of documentary film making all up, in my opinion. Of course there wasn't anywhere near enough Mike, but when is there :P
Laura J
Thank you! Originally I hadn't planned on watching the documentary because I've seen so much about this case, but mention of Mike popping up makes it worth it.
Susan Johnson
Near the end of the 4th (last) episode. Also, as he is talking, they show a shot of youtube listings on the case, and they do pause where That Chapter's youtube is posted. If you watch the credits of the 4th episode, they list all the videos alphabetically. That Chapter is the last and right before the end of the credits.
LaurenJeanGreenBean
Congrats!!

At first was like "ugh, Elisa Lam again..." but it was interesting. It's produced by Ron Howard and his partner and they generally put out good shite. They interview the hotel manager, the employee that found her in the tank, a previous resident of the hotel, the detectives that investigated her case and the coroner who actually autopsied her body, a handful of YouTubers and some guests who were staying in the hotel while she was "missing" and still in the tank. So you are getting *the* scoop from the primary players. Even if you know the Elisa Lam case like the back of your hand, I still recommend giving it a go. It's only 4 episodes.
Sarah Beaumont
I loved seeing you in the Cecil docuseries! You popped up a few times and I had to pause it.. I was like its our Mike!!! On the big screen! Fuck yeah. You should definitely give it a goo it is a good series :)
Whytwolf
My mate Mike in a Netflix Doco......AWESOME😎 You have the best crime channel content anywhere on YouTube 😻😻
Redz 71
He's in part 3 and 4 also
Lichterloh
Ohhh now I need to watch it right away! ❤️
Rob MUFC
Yeah I've been there, Hastings I mean. Surrey is another "rougher" area but nothing like what I saw on the East side. I agree with you 100%. Someone suicidal choosing drowning over instant death by jumping is not a common thing. Suicidal people almost always choose what they believe to be the quickest route. Though bipolar has it's greier areas what was happening in that elevator was not bipolar. Something else was happening to her. Too much of the video was edited and "slowed" down and the LAPD to this day has never released the full video. What was released to the public had 53 seconds missing from it. Why? It makes no sense at all. Plus the police say they checked the roof. There is NO way the dogs wouldn't have hit on Elisa's scent. Hell, the dogs hit on a window she touched on the top floor. Why those tanks were never looked into as part of the search is another red flag for me. Too many unanswered questions combined with limited police information definitely leads me to believe she was murdered. Staff involvement, police involvement even, who know? Though I know they never will find peace I sincerely hope they family can put somethings to rest.
gethaunted
Most of them, but it's just a handful of short 2-3 second clips when they do montages of youtubers talking about the case
Shawn Hack
I do the same!! Hehe
Elle
Oh I’m an idiot, I missed that it was an interview ha. 🙈
Deanna D
I'm sure they got his permission since he's also there in the series, in the flesh, being interviewed i.e. giving his take.
Steven Cox
thanks
Ashley HeronBoucher
Dude your channel is way better then any Netflix doc! But it was super cool to be like “YO ITS MIKE” and my friends where like “.....who” then after hyping up TC they are hooked. TC = Happiness.
Jaryd Hochberger
found it!
Nicole Taylor
As soon as I saw you I screamed "It's Mike!!!!" Congrats!!!!
Lynsey, Flower of Scotland
Ah I love your wee black cat!!! I have one too called Onyx xx
Amanda Glenn
Glad to have you back!!
Jackie
Mike has a great talking moment during the 4th episode around 45 minutes in. It's brief, but great
Jackie
Yay! I was so happy to see you featured. As soon as I saw you I said out loud "Hey, Mike's on my Netflix show!" Congrats =)
Laura J
I just watched episodes 2 and 3 and saw Mike for a matter of seconds in episode 2 at the 49:26 mark. Please let me know if I missed another appearance.
Laura J
I second that request!
Redz 71
I'm in bed at the moment. I'll check tomorrow for you.
Laura J
They should rename it "Mike from That Chapter and the Cecil hotel or something"
Alice
What episode does Mike appear in?
Claudia Perez
Can someone just give me the timestamp, I just want to see Mike. Lol I've heard enough about that hotel.
Xiporah Greezel
See, I recently referred to you as the "charming Irish guy who tells me murder stories" to a friend, but I totally get cringing while watching yourself. Thanks for the links! I need something lighthearted to watch after the impeachment.
Dominique Bennett -Tripp
I’ve been rewatching you just because you make me smile and massive thanks to your lovely patrons who got in touch with me regarding my last comment team TC I appreciate you all
Elle
Did they not need permission to use your footage..?
Lauren Lovecraft
Yeah, I mean we care when something happens to one of our own. Especially something this horrible. I think someone at the hotel did it and they covered it up. I also think her "acting weird" was her avoiding someone, and just trying to get the damn elevator doors to close. I hate how her being bipolar meant that a lot of people just assumed she killed herself. Like there are easier ways of doing that then climbing into a water tank on a hotel roof. But most of all I feel so horribly sad for her family, who just started trusting her enough to take a trip on her own and this happens. As an aside, the first episode makes this big deal about naive tourists having no concept or understanding of LA's skid row. I was like "bitch this girl is from Vancouver, she understands". We have an enormous skid row with all the same problems of untreated mental illness, drug addiction, homelessness, poverty, and violence in our lower east side. It's a BIG DEAL here. I'm sure she was not as naive to it as one would assume.
Gio Marron
Good to see you back on form, mo charaid Just mind your well-being is more important than firing out videos regularly. When you need to take time, take time. I guarantee every single person here values your health more than a regular supply of videos so if you need to step back, step back. We’ll go watch you on Netflix until you’re good to go. Tha barrachd cùraim aig daoine mun neach air cùl nam bhideothan na tha iad a ’gabhail cùram mu na bhideothan. Fuirich nas làidire, mo bhràthair ceilteach. (Tha mi an dòchas gu bheil Gàidhlig na h-Alba na chas air Èireannach 🤣)

Episode 3
Redz 71
Spotted our Mike episode 3 of Cecil Hotel on Netflix 👀
Redz 71
I'm on episode 3 and it's actually good, A lot of conspiracy and opinions and they only touch on the haunting of the hotel. I guess the only haunting is the suffering of people there and those that died there.
Jimmy Friday
Best Patreon I’ve subscribed to and happy for the sucesss!
Cindy
Yeah!
Dawn bearden
I just want to say. I watch tons of channels. But you are the ONLY M.F ill support
Adrienne Tryl
Listening to the podcast, Small Town Murder ( Shut up and give me murder!) is good for your mental health. It's hilarious. Helps me!!
Nick Simon
Aw man I really didn’t wanna watch because people’s idiocy regarding Elisa Lam annoys me (it’s called mental health crisis not fucking ghosts, guys) but now I wanna see it 😭
Lynsey, Flower of Scotland
You'r getting proper famous Mike!! 😉
Sash Johnson
I was trying to decide if I was gonna watch that or not. I am definitely going to go watch it now. I hope you're feeling better and just remember these things take time.
Red37
Netflix called Crime Scene The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel
Lorna Mangan
There was an article on BBC news about that documentary today & funnily enough I was thinking about Mike’s take on the case & how it was the most sensible, didn’t know he was on it though, just perusing the news while I was waiting in the doctors. Spooky- I’m obviously psychic (yeah, right!}
Lee Reed
Hi Mike, I'm watching the Cecil Doc tonight after I watch these.
gethaunted
Literally just finished watching the series and it was a fun surprise to see you pop up a few times. If you're curious but can't stand to watch yourself – – they show a handful (3 to 4) of clips of yours when they do little montage sequences of online reactions to the case, each one only a couple seconds long.
Mary Fletcher
Awesome Mike!!! I’ll have to check that out!
Karen Kristine
Nevermind, I see an edit in the main post now... ;)
Peri Jetton
Hey you!! 😜 I’m so happy that you are feeling better ☺️ I’m going over to Netflix to check out that documentary! Have a great weekend
Karen Kristine
This is exciting news! Can anyone tell me which documentary exactly? I love documentaries and if Mike is in it it's a must-watch! The link provided in another comment didn't work for me.
Lynsey, Flower of Scotland
Nice one!! Il. Have to add that to tonight's videos ☺️... Just away to watch the Don Fluitt one xx
Clifford Snabb
Glad you’re doing alright brother 🤘🏻💜
M
I don't think there was enough of you. Boo!
Rob MUFC
It was a huge story at the time it was happening. Think Canadian news covered the story more than the American outlets. Personally, I think she ran into the wrong staff perosnal. The reason I say that is because of the time stamp from the elevator footage and that the elevator itself was acting up and immediately returned to normal after she was out of it's view
Redz 71
I've just started watching about the Cecil Hotel last night. Now an extra reason to watch the rest. Our Mike is in it. Yippee ❤️
Kris C
Congrats on making it to the Big Screen, Mike!
Helga Bluestone
I had no idea you were in a documentary. Very cool, Mike
Hailey Baby
So proud of you! Just watched it now 😊
Peter Roubos
Just started watching. Did not find you yet :-)
Paul Vest
Thank you.
Laura Woods
I started watching that last night, but I became engrossed in the impeachment trial instead! Definitely need to watch it now I know you're in it!
Lauren Lovecraft
Also you should watch it if you’re interested. She’s from my city (Vancouver) so it hits close to home. And you’re in it for a split second, nothing to cringe over <3

Taco John
Take care man! Big up yourself!
Taco John
Your videos are fantastic and charming Mike - you should rewatch some with the mindset of how many people enjoy your content (mostly as a result of your writing, producing, and your delightful personal humor/charm). It really just shines through that you are clearly a really genuine, funny, cool dude.
Lauren Lovecraft
I yelled HEY YOU at my screen :P
Taco John
Hey, I actually started watching that last night. It seems really good.
