The Sinister Case of James Henrikson

Hey everyone! First of all thank you so much for the kind messages, you're all a sound bunch! Feeling a lot better, just needed to take some time away from the computer which is something I'll probably be doing more often to be honest. Don't worry, will still be two videos a week, though as I said in the last post just the one for you this week. And here's the latest! Heading to the oil fields of North Dakota in this one for a tale of greed and violence. Hope you enjoy!

The Sinister Case of James Henrikson

Comments

I've been ill and so not around or with it lately, still not but I had to come back. Missed that voice, that wink lol....so I'm catching up, it may take some time. Oh well! Well done on the 1M Mike, you deserve it.

lise

That was totally surprising!

Kem Subias

That wink tho

Kyle Leonard

Just saw you pop up on the Elisa Lam documentary, I'd know that voice anywhere, well done!...and congrats of passing 1M subs.

Lorraine H

MIKE! I was watching the new series about Elisa Lam on Netflix and there’s a short clip of you in it! I was like hey that’s Mike! But I hope you feel better and continue to take time for yourself sometimes.

Mollie LaBarre

Always good to see you, Mike. Even if you take some time off, at least it's a break from the mental mess of being a popular youtuber :)

James Herington

Glad you're better dude❤

Amanisha Jay

Mike, just wanted to say I really enjoyed watching your other videos too, on the supernatural and mysteries. Wishing you and yours all the best, hope you're keeping warm in Ireland x

Faith McCord

Mike, I hope you see this, love. PLEASE take it easy. Don't let this thing stress you out. We will be happy with fewer videos and a happier Mike, I promise. Much love.

Kathy Penton

I actually stopped watching hockey all together a long time ago. Doug Gilmour was my hero lol. Years of mismanagement and money over everything and I just gave up watching it. I let my English show these days. I watch football ⚽️ Manchester United are my lads. It was either cheer for the Habs or abandon hockey as a whole and well.... Go United!

Rob MUFC

Does anyone get it? 7 days... one weak... one week... TA DA

Jeffrey D Fuller

You are definitely on to something Lisa. If Charlie is anything like my cat, his only problem might be keeping him awake long enough to actually finish a video. But I like that you are thinking outside the box. 😉

Jeffrey D Fuller

In Soviet Russia, personal life balances YOU!

Taco John

In Soviet Russia, abyss look into YOU!

Taco John

I like the way all the others at that big table were just like, "Yeah, whatev ". 🤣

Lisa B

Maybe do some funny videos once in a while for your mental health, Mike. Or distract yourself with a balanced good personal life and watching comedies. Only handling dark stuff can't be good for you.

Manny Di Pressio

Look into the abyss long enough, and the abyss looks back into you.

Manny Di Pressio

Hmm yes. If Mike hired the cat as an administrative assistant, he could probably churn out at least three a week! Easy!! 😋

Lisa B

Indeed you are so right, was he crying when he struck Casey over the head multiple times with a pipe? Was he crying when he shot Doug many times in the head.” Your cynicism Shirlene is absolutely justified. It’s incredible how many vile murderers are blubbing , simpering and snivelling once they realise they are no longer leaving the interrogation room without handcuffs applied. Gotcha you scum.

Soffity

What a lovely comment. I feel the same. We all want Mike to be well happy fulfilled and able to pay the bills. Just like the rest of us. I like the way this group of patrons seems so caring, unmercinary and supportive,

Soffity

What a lovely comment, I just wanted to let you know how it made me feel. As though I was a part of a big caring family that really was concerned with its intrepid leader Mike,

Soffity

Call me cynical but I think ol’ Tim’s tears were because he’d somehow forgotten to include ‘THROW LIST AWAY! on that To Do list of his. So glad you’re feelin’ better Mike. 👍

Shirlene Reid

All I know about Dakota is what I’ve read in Laura Ingalls Wilders’ books. It was all Dakota back then but now it has a north and south. Did the Native Americans mind their land being dug up for oil or did they welcome the income. Does anyone know?

Soffity

We are all supporting you, it’s nice to know complete strangers can unite to help a person, be it Mike or one of the bunch. I’m having a bad time too but get comfort from how supportive everyone is towards Mike amd the rest of us.

Soffity

7 days without exercising will make one weak... 😉

Jeffrey D Fuller

Ummm. Mike? Having lightly skimmed a post or two, I have news that might be a bit rough for you to hear. (Deeply inhales) It appears that the other, so called Mike-Loving crewmembers have little desire to actually watch your videos. I will pause here for a dramatic moment to allow you to compose yourself. I am certain that you are devastated, after learning of this unflattering vile. Here's where I stand on this issue Mike... I guess I am a selfish son of a sorry ass rat-bastard. You see, Mike, I cannot accept one measly video per week. Dude! I have withdrawal symptoms if I don't watch a Mike-Vid every few days. Come on Pal. How difficult can it really be? Okay... so you have 20 or 30 hours of research, 10 or 15 hours of script development, another 15 hours of filming and editing... So, what is that? 45 to 60 hours per video? Seems fairly damn simple my man. If you man-up, I'd say you should be able to release 2... maybe 3 videos per week. I'm just sayin' Mike if you put your nose to the grinding wheel... ya know? Who knows.... Sarcastically speaking of course.

Jeffrey D Fuller

Mike, you're the best!

Laura Jane

Thanks for the awesome video Mike😊😊 Great story hadn't heard this one before😉😉 Take care of yourself and just take days off when you need them. Look after yourself, Charlie and your Mrs. Mike 😘

Whytwolf

I hope things improve too! 💜

Tara Ellingham

Echoing the sound posts of all my other caring Patreonites you must take care of yourself above ALL!!! something is certainly better than nothing!!! I’m 100% sure you would retain your loyal fan base and still grow in popularity with whatever you put out. Consistency and making sure you don’t burn yourself out or your fingers to the bone tap tap tapping away then do one a week or less. We and the internet / YT will adjust and no one would even no any different in a few weeks time. Take care!! Much ❤️

Tara Ellingham

You’re so good! Thank you for spoiling us♥️

Etak Doow

Thanks for the special oiling Mike 😉 Take care

Shirley Pitner

It’s all a matter of pacing one’s self Mike 😉

ken saint john

Hahahaha. Who are you cheering for tonight!?! Lol

Rachel Webster

Thank you for the video. I much enjoyed hearing about a case that was completely new to me. Dirty business, horrible business owners and business employees. Thanks much. Please take care of yourself. The pandemic lasting for so long has really been too much for us all. Somedays you just need to say...I'm taking the day off, unplug from technology and go do something for yourself. Take care 👍😉, see you soon

S. Noelle Melton

You take care of yourself, Mike! We can wait.

Paula Bernardes-Silva

Thanks Mike! And please- always take time for yourself!!!! For real, we support you no matter what! Even if you uploaded once a month- I'd eagerly anticipate your video! We understand you have a life you need to live as well!

Jess Is Blessed

Crazy story - dirtier than an oil field :-)

Heather M

Thanks Mike

Jane Pohl

I think you should post one day a week, unless you’re feeling froggy, and use the other day as Guinness pint day. You might even get them to sponsor.

Jenna

I think one vid a week is quite fair. You shouldn’t put yourself under so much stress that you don’t enjoy what you’re doing. Take it easy!

Mina

So glad you are feeling better but I will echo what others have said - we love you and don't ever stress over us. We totally understand and will be here no matter when you need time off.

Heather M

Mike I hope you are OK. Take all of the time you need. There's no pressure from us. We just love you.

Helena

So look forward to you videos. Hey but don’t stress yourself out— have a couple of pints and chill.

Victoria Harris

Mike please take care of yourself. We can wait. This is a really tough time for everyone I think. Do what you need to do to feel better we all really enjoy and like you. One day at a time...that’s all any of us can do at the moment. ❤️

Kate is Great

That wink tho

Kyle Leonard

Mike mike mike! Take care of you! Seriously, I'd rather see one video every other week from you, knowing you're happy and healthy..than to watch 2 a week knowing you're stretching yourself thin. We all love you and your work so much. But mostly you. Take it easy, mate. Xo

AMBER NALL

Mike, make vids at a pace you are happy with. We all love you fella. Be you, not this, much as we love you..

Me

Good wishes to you, Mike. To be honest, you could slouch over a desk and talk about what you fancy for lunch and you'd still get astronomical viewing figures (in my opinion). Stay fabulous!!!

Juliet A Rossetti

Take care Dominique. 👍👋

Me

So glad you are feeling better and looking after you. Self care should always be a priority, we will always stand by you

Amy G

I'm truly going through the ringer with life (redundancy, moving a friend passing on top of lockdown) but you are making me laugh and taking my mind of the sadness at the moment thank you I'm looking forward to the next one you take care sir

Dominique Bennett -Tripp

Great video, and it seems like that break did you good. Also, the background music is awesome. It has a bit of a Led Zeppelin to sound to it. Very cool! Take care and kudos on the great content!

Elizabeth Chancellor

So glad you’re doing better. Just wanted to say hello from frozen North Dakota. It’s -6 with a wind chill of -27 F.

Jill Vaaler-Jore

I was sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well but am glad to see you’re taking care of your sweet self! Thanks for another great video! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Honor Grace

I LOVE greed and violence! 2 great things that go great together. Like everyone else, I sincerely appreciate your spin on true crime. So happy to watch your channel grow. And you ARE an adult, so only you know what is best for you. I will trust you to care for you and yours. Just know we have plenty of advice should you ever need some. 😶

beth z

What a crazy story. I’m going to have to watch it again to sort it all out. I’m so glad I’m content with what I have and don’t need or want anything else, glad your feeling better Mike. Bet Tim wasn’t blubbering when he was hitting Casey over the head with a pipe or putting bullets into Doug Carlile

Soffity

Hey Mike, don't feel obliged to put out some fixed number of videos per unit of time. Your content is awesome and I'm willing to wait for it. You absolutely deserve some rest and if you feel like you need to slow down, just do it. I will not stop supporting you.

Wojciech Kudla

Great video Mike. Glad you are feeling better and have come up with a plan that is going to work for you!

Tanith Gordon

Thanks Mike for another great video and keep us posted even though you need some time off. Take care of yourself. Health comes first. :)

Henry

Thanks for the upload and glad you're feeling better. Mental health is as just as important as physical. Curious when you might be doing another Q&A again? I'm rather new here and missed the others unfortunately. What you do is awesome and if it's any indication of how you are in your personal life, you're doing something right. Cheers from 🇨🇦

Rob MUFC

Take care of yourself first and foremost! We can all wait.

David A. Chauvette

Great job as always. Take good care mind and body.

Barbara Malott

Hey Mike, like many before I completely concur that you should do you! There are no taskmasters here so you upload whenever it suits yourself, we're not going anywhere 😊

Mr Phil Donnelly

I would TOTALLY be happy with 1 episode a week. I don't know how you crank em out so fast, tbh.

Jamie Di

ND is my neighbor to the west. Crazy shit. Money makes people batshit. Good to “see” you Mike. Hope you are taking good care. Have a good rest of the week. Have an extra pint or tree. 🍻

Rachel Milani

👍🏻👊🏻🍀

Patrick Donnell

Don't expect any molly-coddling from me! I demand 2 videos a week or I'm cutting you off! Just JOKES! Mike, you bring a lot of joy to all of us. Please remember - we can only enjoy your videos in good conscience if we know you're enjoying the production of them! Please play around with finding the sweet spot for yourself whether it's two a week or six a month or one a week! Don't lock yourself into any set schedule. Maybe it's better switch it up by alternating how many videos you post a week. Or maybe do a shorter subject then a longer one. The joy we all find in your videos is sparked by your joy. Please know you honor us by taking care of yourself. We all love you and are happy to whatever terms work. Thank you for all you do!

jennifer kar

Thanks for the video, Mike! Always take as much time as you need to decompress. We've all been there. Cheers!

Jon B

Yes!! You had us worried there. Love seeing all the love thrown at you. Glad you are better in yourself. Take all the time you need, nobody is going anywhere. ❤️❤️❤️

Redz 71

Thanks so much, Mike. Glad you're a bit better. I know how you feel. Everyone needs a break sometime. I'd left some platforms for awhile. Wouldn't you know, I finally return and the censoring started. Best to you, 🙏♥️

Joy Burton

Hey you! I’m happy that you are feeling better. It’s a crazy time we are in. Gotta take care of you! We got you ☮️💜

Peri Jetton

Whatever you are comfortable with is good with me You seriously are a Video God!!!

Gina Shemeth

Once per week is fine!!!!

Kathleen Morgan

Eeeww The Leafs 🤢 Lol 🤪🤪

Rob MUFC

North Dakotan's are typically as boring as they are polite. I guess this is one way to challenge a stereotype.

Liz C

Glad you're feeling better, Mike!

Andrea V

Hey! Another TC fan in the Ol' Dominion :D

Liz C

Cut down if it means a positive on your mental health! We'd all still love you Mike. Looking after yourself is more important than YouTube. ❤

Kayleigh Nokes

Bless your heart, dahlin' so glad to hear you're improving! Can't wait to see you 😍 lol hugs from VA!

LaurenJeanGreenBean

We appreciate you! Glad you’re feeling better but yes, I think time away from the computer/chaos is a healthy choice. I’m sure we’d all agree that your health and well-being are much more important than the videos we love so much! Thanks again, Mike! Much love from Canada! 🇨🇦 🖤 Ps. Go Leafs!!! 😬

Rachel Webster

Would so much rather you post once a week or every other week if that means you stay sane ❤️ keep doing amazing Mike

Rachel Fowler

Glad to hear you're feeling better Mike 💪

Jenna Shaw

So glad you are feeling better . Whatever videos we get from you makes us happy, whether it’s one or two ! Take care of you :)

Joy Seegers

Hey you! And Oh man...this is where I live (I’m MHA enrolled member) and it is oil country. It was sad how this all happened here. Also the fact our tribal chairman got involved. 🤭 Thanks for covering it Mike. Hope you’re feeling better! Take care of yourselves, see you in the next video.

LT

Thank you, Mike! Please put yourself first and take time when you need to! 🤗

Mila Chavez

Agreed, Elle! We are very thankful for all you do. Hope you’re well.

Kelly Myring

Thanks Elle!

Dude. One video a week is more than enough. You don’t owe us anything. Glad you’re feeling better, though. ♡
