Not a huge deal but I’ve bought 2 shirts from your site now and the small was embarrassingly tight. It accentuates what muscles I do have but not it a comfortable way. Hahaha. And the medium was a bedtime shirt. Same shirt 2 different sizes. I read the reviews and it’s seems to be a recurring theme. Just throwing that out there. The designs are sweet and the quality of shirts are great. But something with that sizes chart is off man. From a fan who wants a shirt he can wear. Thanks. ✌️
I hafta rec HorrorBabble in that convo also. He reads fictional stories though...still the guy has absolutely killer tone, timbre, and cadence. The best at Lovecraft reads.
@juliecook6057 agree with ya there. I often grow weary of reddit and stalker stories tho, so switched up to HorrorBabble recently. ofc Mr. Ballen is solid in the storytelling style.
Omg 😮 Joel you are a life saver. Been listening to you for 7+ years. Infinite love and gratitude to you for your services! Above and beyond. God bless ❤
can’t do nature sound videos those never put me to sleep but for some reason 20 secs after closing my eyes listening to Let’s Read pictures start popping up in my head and quickly start twitching myself sleep. I love it.
You're the first podcast I've listened to fall asleep to since my mom passed away on Thanksgiving morning and wensdays we will bury our mother.. So I'll say thanks for the stories to fall asleep, too.
Hello. I’m sorry for the loss of your mother!🙏 May you have peace and comfort tomorrow and throughout the grieving process! It’s always hard when you lose your mom! Be safe and at peace!

Spooky is so ambiguous! Scary, horrific, spine chilling.. spooky, a two-year-old, looking off into the abyss starting to cry, swearing up and down it see a ghost. Now that’s spooky! Lol
My all time favorite story time! I also fall asleep soon after,as I wake up thru the night I have to skip bk to where I think I left off but basically takes me days or evenings to finally make it thru til the very end 😂😂❤ Hope your holidays are happy an blessed Joel...ty so very much for another year of great tell tales 🎉
Thank You So much Joel, You Don't Know How Much These Mean To So Many Of Us With Insomnia. Your Voice Truly Is A Blessing To Me. Happy Holidays 🎄🎁❄️🌲⛄& Merry Christmas To You & Your Family. Love From West Michigan ❤
I’m a stay a home mom of 3😮💨 && I swear by it your VOICE alone just calms me down when I feel very very overstimulated. Your stories are played every single day to get my day started !
So I've definitely heard story 2 before (on this channel) and Joel RARELY features repeat stories, which is one of the (MANY) reasons I try to never miss an upload. I also wanted to add, that is a very, underrated perk. Yes Joel has an amazingly soothing voice, yes Joel picks top-notch stories that freak us out beyond belief in the best freaking way possible, but if you listen to other narration channels (I'm going to take a wild guess and say, there is probably at least 1 other narration channel that you're sub'ed to) it gets exhausting hearing the same stories over, and over again. ANYWAY, back to my original point... I hate the fact that so many details in story 2 are so relatable to me. I remember the first time I listened to this story, I was having flashbacks to my own insanely difficult time in the grips of an H addiction. I honestly don't remember how this story ends (as I paused the vid to add this comment) but if I recall correctly, OP meets some sketchballs and his safety is then compromised by said sketchballs, perhaps robbed... I'm about to find out 😂. I know that exact feeling all too well. Im truly amazed I made it to 40 years old. When I was in active addiction, I was never really scared of dying from an overdose (yes, I definitely realize how insane that sounds) I was very careful when trying new H whether the stamp on the bags was different or if the sketchball dealer was different, I always made sure to try a very small amount before jumping in and doing my normal dose. I was, however quite scared on more occasions than I can count of getting raped and/or murdered! Thankfully I can say I have been able to obstain from use for going on 16 years.
Hello everyone! Great long episode! The stories were really interesting today and now it’s tomorrow! I wish I had headphones then could listen in the house while tinkering around. Santa? You’re never too old to believe! Thanks Let’s Read!
*I hope the story with the pregnant lady and her two daughters shopping at the mall that met the guy, and she was trying to find her keys is on here. I've been trying to find that story for years since I heard it.*
I know that story, I've heard quite a few narrators read it out, I think the CreepyFox, Blue Spooky, SouthernCannibal have read it maybe a couple weeks ago.
@ Thank you, I'll try to find it again. I thought Joel read it, but I couldn't find so it may have been a different narrator. I also remember the story with Juniper and that creeps me out to this day.
Oh thank baby Jesus!!!!! I have been needing this one, I have seriously been gooiiiinnnnggg WAYY BACK!!! (IN THE ARCHIVES)!!!! It's gonna be a great night!!!!
Im curious if anyone else has heard any of these before? I love these stories 1 and 2 are both some of my all time favs. Is this a comp? Either way thanks Joel
Your voice is mesmerising 😊 SE London England ❤❤ you are my favourite to go to sleep to 😅 BUT I HAVE TO REWATCH Because I'm scared of missing the brilliant stories ❤😊
Story 5: people who travel for work are often susceptible to fatigue and burnout which can trigger latent mental health issues. If you have health insurance, don't be ashamed of looking for help! Lots of people experience auditory and visual hallucinations.
Whenever someone describes a prison it sounds just like a psychiatric ward. Only difference I’ve heard so far is that in the ward “what are you in for?” Is an almost expected question

Hey Joel, I just published a video about people falling asleep to horror podcasts, and I mentioned your podcast. Thanks for always being so cool man.
Oooo I’m definitely watching that when I wake up!
@@LivingDeadBabyDoll Are you also from the UK ?
@@danielcalvin1497 Nope, I’m currently in the USA 🥲🔫 it’s eleven thirty two PM. What time is it there? :)

Why does it say there's no content on your channel?
Joel has the best reading voice ever.
I hafta rec HorrorBabble in that convo also. He reads fictional stories though...still the guy has absolutely killer tone, timbre, and cadence. The best at Lovecraft reads.
@@gremlinmachineshop
Booze and Boos also has that exceptional high calibre voice, narration style and ( true) content !! 😁👍
@juliecook6057 agree with ya there. I often grow weary of reddit and stalker stories tho, so switched up to HorrorBabble recently. ofc Mr. Ballen is solid in the storytelling style.

PARANORMAL GHOST STORIES PLEASE!!! No other channels have your skill set that makes it believable!!!
I like his true crime story’s my self
@@Shisteysam18me too!! Paranormal stories are super meh to me 😅
I like them all, I could listen to his voice for hours and hours.
can’t do nature sound videos those never put me to sleep but for some reason 20 secs after closing my eyes listening to Let’s Read pictures start popping up in my head and quickly start twitching myself sleep. I love it.
😊😊😊
Funny. I'm the exact opposite. Can't fall asleep listening to people talk. My mind fixates on the voice way too much.
@@lancebergsven7099why are you here
@@MACARONIEMANIAC Because I enjoy listening to creepy stories while I'm at work.🤷♂️
I’m sooo sick but this made my night so much better thank you 😭❤️
Feel better soon.🌹
You're the first podcast I've listened to fall asleep to since my mom passed away on Thanksgiving morning and wensdays we will bury our mother.. So I'll say thanks for the stories to fall asleep, too.
I'm so sorry for your loss😢💔

The Santa hat and beard on the Spaceman! 😂❤ chefs kiss lol
😂 freakin awesome 🎅
Agreed!
When will people stop saying "chef's kiss?" It's worn out worse than a cheap hooker's snatch.
When will people stop saying "chef's kiss" for everything? Hasn't it run its course by now?
Very 😎
Wow man, the 2nd one blew me away, I can definitely relate, take this story to heart....it is 100% true!

Merry Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
Hello everyone! Great long episode! The stories were really interesting today and now it’s tomorrow! I wish I had headphones then could listen in the house while tinkering around. Santa? You’re never too old to believe! Thanks Let’s Read!
Nighty night! Perfect timing!
By the time you read this it will be too late. Now get some sleep. Hearts and butterflies.

The second story was really good
Been listening to your videos for 8 years you keep getting better and better ❤🎉❤🎉
Thank you!! You just made my night 🫶❤️

*I hope the story with the pregnant lady and her two daughters shopping at the mall that met the guy, and she was trying to find her keys is on here. I've been trying to find that story for years since I heard it.*
I know that story, I've heard quite a few narrators read it out, I think the CreepyFox, Blue Spooky, SouthernCannibal have read it maybe a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for the vid Joel.
This was great upload!💚💙
Yay more bedtime stories ❤❤❤ keep it up Joel.

I cant pick one off the top of my head but I love the yandere stories ❤ 🗡
Go way way wayyy back 5 plus years he did an April Fools that was hilarious
@lavenderwindsor632 lol I'll try to find it.
Japanese urban legends years ago. The eight foot tall woman one was veryspooky.

hey i’m here early
Ty❤😊
Your voice is mesmerising 😊 SE London England ❤❤ you are my favourite to go to sleep to 😅 BUT I HAVE TO REWATCH Because I'm scared of missing the brilliant stories ❤😊
always bummed when "new" videos are just re-reads of old ones 😭💔
Most channels do this.... new compilations and not everyone has heard all of his stories all the way through 🙃
Most of us fall asleep and only heart bites and peices😂😂
Me too!
Aww these aren't new stories. Still gonna listen
Who else is listening to this while eating noodles
Wow!!! Very spooky!
Woah, great spectrum of stories
Always a good day when you upload
Wow,. These are some of the most shocking, interesting and informative stories I've ever heard
The beginning of story 5 omg, my pup just sighed and got comfortable on my legs. 😂❤
Hey Joel glad I get to be some of the first comments how do i submit a story again?
Walk on em!❤
🎄Thank you🎁💖
Listened Wed@8am 18/🎄/24/🇬🇧
This bunch of stories are really good, but the second story in particular was very good but dark.
ayeeeeee
Wokka Wokka Muthafokka!
"I lived in that house right up until I moved out" -- Hmmm.. You don't say.
I tell EVERYONE about this channel ❤
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
All I can say is that first story was epic
❤❤❤from Canada
I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas
17 seconds is a new one lol
Story 5: people who travel for work are often susceptible to fatigue and burnout which can trigger latent mental health issues. If you have health insurance, don't be ashamed of looking for help! Lots of people experience auditory and visual hallucinations.
I've been around so long that I've heard all of these
Goodnight Joel❤
Dang Joel 2nd story in and just damn ☠️ appreciate the video this one hits
Nice!!!
LetsRead #1 by far!
Merry fucking Christmas 😎🤘🏻
Just in time 👌🏻
I love your voice
