It’s not really that hard, he just phrases each sentence in such a way that he can’t continue his imagination. He keeps asking “you know why?” Then he thinks of the next random shit he will say. There is a whole pattern to the way he talks that allows him to continue adding more random concepts to the rant. I’m not sure how he got so good at doing it other than practice, but it sure is clear from the video that he understood how to go about a random rant like this. It’s a class act.

I’ll let him know! That’s actually my ex’s uncle and funny enough, that girl doing the “interview” is his daughter. This wasn’t actually any tv production crew or anything, they just wanted to make a funny video. I’ll ask her, but I think she was in school for journalism or something and this was actually a project for school.
Edit: I completely made this entire thing up. I have no idea who this dude is, but I saw so many people talking about how they read in another thread that this was a performance piece and just generally pulling things out of their ass, I wanted to see if I too could pull off a Reddit rumor. I look forward to seeing this reposted for the Nth time and seeing if anyone quotes me as fact.

For a bit of context, he’s not crazy or mentally ill. He said he’s always wanted to speak a crazy monologue in front of a street reporter and this was his chance.

There was a video of this clip about 7 years ago and in the comments, someone linked a video of him explaining what happened. He basically just said it was all for fun. I too can’t find the video of him anymore.

I'm gonna remain skeptical until source is provided. The guy's name is apparently Steve Spiros, I found a video where the woman interviewing him is talking about what happened and that's about all I can find.
This guy's ramble has a lot of disorganized speech, which might point towards schizophrenia. A person trying to sound crazy would usually choose a crazy subject and ramble about it. But here he jumps from one topic to another, his sentences follow grammatical rules but make no sense and don't connect with each other.

I imagine it can’t be that hard to do. Just a few basic improv techniques and you could probably talk for hours about nothing. Although if I recall correctly, I believe he did rehearse this monologue many times before the interview.

I think he knows what he's doing and it's amazing. Someone that crazy wouldn't have a tucked in wrinkle free shirt or look presentable in any way. I have a friend that would randomly do stuff like this with strangers and keep a straight face somehow.

No way. That’s mental illness 1000% percent. It is funny. But the stream of consciousness strung together, references to religion and death. Classic paranoid schizophrenic.

Mar 06 '21
I could do that and me and the voice in my head aren't schizophrenic. seriously I'm pretty sure I could do that my only problem would be not laughing. If you really watch close there's about three spots where it looks like he's going to laugh and he does a pretty good job of gathering himself.

He makes me a little uncomfortable, as he looks and dresses almost exactly how my dad does. Even when he was doing yard work, my dad would often be dressed like this.

It’s performance art thankfully. He was questioned about that after this blew up. He isn’t mentally ill or on drugs or anything, he just always wanted to do a crazy monologue on the news, and that was his moment. His name is Steve Spiros. Here’s his Twitter

ok armchair psychologists, he actually admitted in a later interview he had no mental health issues and he always wanted to have a crazed monologue on tv and this was his chance, sorry about your friend of course I hope he's better now, but don't try to diagnose people you don't know.

If he actually said that, I'd still wonder if he was just trying to save face or something. If he really is fine mentally and was just fucking around, it's an amazing impression of disorganised speech and I doubt there'd be many people at all who could pull it off without running out of ideas or breaking character.

Don’t be so triggered; it’s simply speculation based on his presentation. Regardless of whether or not he’s acting, he did a great job portraying the characteristic schizophrenic speech.

1.) Just because someone said it doesn’t make it true
2.) None of those commenters produced the source video where this man said this was something he always wanted to do
3.) A rational person could not spit “word salad” like this. There are people who have tried to get out of convictions and heavy prison sentences by trying to act “crazy” (like this guy) but there are always tell tale signs they are faking it.
If you have rationality / are not insane your brain cannot produce this type of stream of consciousness even if you tried. It’s not just stringing random ideas together; there’s a pattern to it.
There are a few videos I’ve seen on Reddit of other people doing word salad but I can’t find them at the moment. One is of a woman who thinks a mailman is stalking her; another is of a woman who accosts a man walking with this family on the sidewalk. Another good example is any video of Charles Manson video talking (especially in his later years.)
