A lot of these are stories recognized from previous videos. Maybe consider getting more into the paranormal or cryptids? They always seem to satisfy my creature feature fix. Especially with that soothing narrator voice of yours.
Apart from going for walks and going for drives, my dear cat Buddha used to love listening to your uploads with me. He knew it was time to relax/nap whenever I said "buddhi let's listen to let's read". This is the first upload without him. Still crying and mourning the loss of my Buddha.
This podcast/UA-cam channel has been a significant part of my self care routine these past few years. I listen to relax, I listen to nap, and I listen when I’m on long road trips. Thank you.
When visiting strange places or foreign countries here is the best advice you will ever read: Keep your mouth shut, keep your eyes and ears open, stay away from chemicals and weed and never get drunk or walk around alone. Stay safe out there...

I find it hard to believe that a country would pass a law to make it illegal to have sex other than if you’re married and if it’s with your spouse. So if I went on a trip to Egypt and hooked up with a girl there I could potentially get locked up for 3 years that’s crazy and if this law in Egypt was widely known about I guarantee it wouldn’t even hurt their tourism rates it would probably put an end to it completely. But I have a feeling that the cops there never actually enforce that law with straight people even if a cop happens to actually catch them in the act cause it’s obviously meant to just persecuted homosexuals.
@@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942actually it's well documented and it's illegal to be homosexual or have sex out of marriage. Some countries have laws about clothing and morality police. I once got a ticket in Spain for "faltar respeto", basically being disrespectful to a cop. It's a big world, man.... You should go see more of it 😊
Story 9 had me thinking 🤔..... Wondering if maybe the two girls got a little tipsy together or something, maybe Seana and the author's girlfriend was driving and possibly hit someone. Maybe they buried the body of the missing person in the middle of nowhere, which would explain the search history. My mind went all over the place with this one!!! Love these super long sessions!
I have a feeling OP’s girlfriend got caught up in some criminal activity. He should watch his back - even though he claims she’s “not like that,” he could easily stumble into evidence that he’ll be punished for.
@@Lazydana19there have been countless gangsters, career criminals and serial killers who lived perfectly normal lives and their families had no idea what they were doing so no matter how much u might think u know someone there’s never a guarantee
I was thinking a home abortion with the shower an the two girls were together. So the weapon was to kill the boyfriend. Or they killed her man but the op girlfriend couldn't kill him so she chooses to stay with him. Just a thought.
Yyyeeeessss!!!! We have had parades all weekend and tomorrow is Mardi Gras day, so relaxing at home to my favorite channel tonight is absolute perfection!!! Thank you Joel!!!
Basic Yellowstone Park facts : there are plenty of thermal water holes that not only are extremely hot(198° F) but the other non thermal holes host a wide variety of bacteria that could lead to lethal infections. Just don't swim in Yellowstone. It's literal VOLCANIC VENTS or MAGMA that heats the water; I have no clue why someone would want to swim in that.
I am literally mowing the lawn with my headphones volume turned all the way up so I don't miss any part of the stories.... Straight up addicted! Thank you sir!
The night is a canvas of dreams, where everyone's minds can paint their desires. May everyone's dreams tonight be filled with all the things their hearts truly desire. Sleep well. 💤☺✨🌙❤😍🌟⭐😘💓
The man that went to Egypt...As the story was being read, i was going oh no...oh no...please dont go! Pease, oh no! 😢Also, when you travel, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ALWAYS DO YOUR RESEARCH!! Every country is different! It can go from bad to VERY VERY BAD!
Story 2: Dude...as soon I heard "pigs" and "disappeared," I figured out the mystery. Let's just say there's a reason we call someone who's eating excessively a pig. The association doesn't come out of thin air. Story 1: *record scratch sound* Waitwaitwait...so someone tells these people to vacate the cabin they're renting because of "maintenance" work, gets aggressive when they want to call the owner, backs off at the mention of police, the owner confirms the man is lying, and they don't call the police and/or leave? And then, when they see guys in masks approaching with saws and sledgehammers, they don't hide and call 999? They just...try to walk out the back door? And the wife won't shut up so they have to gag her? I mean, does that ever work? : "Please, Mr. Violent Burglar, let me go! I won't tell anyone!" "Oh, okay. Right, off you go." How are these people still alive without a voice whispering "breathe in, breathe out" in their ears constantly? I guess I shouldn't complain, as without dumb protagonists, we wouldn't have these stories. Most horror movies would be over after 10 minutes if most everyone wasn't mind-numbingly stupid. But sheesh.
Story 1 also had me cracking up when they said, "We never had any hint of what was to come." What do you mean!? You were very bluntly warned about "tried to do this the easy way." and the thief gave every indication of coming back. You were even offered a full refund! There was no excuse not to leave!
2:21:31 uhhhh how about call the police?! Even if they haven't done anything to you, they need to know you heard someone screaming and then they started chasing you. You could save a life.
First night of insomnia in a while so I’m very glad you just released this. I have been binge watching the hell out of your channel lately and you are absolutely one of my favorites. Thanks for all you do!
I know he doesn't want to hear it, but guy in the story with the girlfriend and gf's friend "Shawna": Drugs, man. Shawna has her hooked. She may even be having drug-induced mental illness. If he stays passive, he's going to lose her.
Doesn't explain why she wants a weapon. I had thought maybe this too though. Also, doesn't explain blood in the shower. I was a drug addict for many years and never got blood all over the place, and certainly never shot up in the shower.
Remember, do the same as you would protecting your own home. Don't mindlessly answer the door to strangers just because you are in someone else's home.
I wonder how that first couple drove home after clearly stating they took the train & then a taxi out to the middle of nowhere, then walked into the village to eat & eventually use the phone to report the break in?
The 2 hour long stories are usually always compilations of random stories he's done previously. Idk how people don't understand that unless you haven't been listening to let's read very long.
The story of Megan really is something else because from the sounds of it she fell off the bar she cracked her head and then said she was fine and her friends were like yeah you're fine and then they left her there she probably had a concussion and needed to go to the doctor or the emergency room and that scrambled her brain so she was no longer the same person they left because she was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs head injuries and Trauma not fun then throw in the alcohol being in a strange place and then when they left her there I realize she's an adult but she had a medical condition more than likely that caused her to go to where she did just a thought
its so terribly what happend to him but i cant help but want to blam him, he couldn't go a week without hooking up? I'm surprised he even went there in the first place, id never even think of going to a country that prohibits being me, even if i dont do anything gay i dont want to take that chance.
Hey joel!! Been watching you for a while now and was wondering if you'd consider making the screen dark after a few minutes, or have some videos particularly for sleeping. It's really bright on my TV for sleeping so I have to do it on my phone face down and it's a little inconvenient. Just a thought tho, love your content so much!!
Wow love the new format!! No disturbing loud noises between stories, they would wake me up sometimes. You are the best on the interwebs and just got better! ❤👍❤
Are you kidding me? The second you tell the guy you're gonna check in with the property owner he gets aggressive and you don't call the cops? Did the people in the first story have a death wish or were they just clueless?
Overseas hookups just screams of the illegal organ trade. I imagine waking up in a bathtub full of ice and a burner phone nearby. Reading a handwritten note that explains your predicament to you.
I can't hear rain you are not alone.. but if I put the phone speaker to my ear and listen really hard I can hear some sort of water sound in the far background..🤦♀️
I listen before work, at work, after work, before bed, while I’m just doing stuff and don’t wanna hear silence. It’s like an addiction at this point🤷🏻♂️
first story is the reason im happy im an american with a comceal carry permit lol, i dont go anywhere without it, and its for this exactly reason imo, i watch way to much lets read but still love it, thanks joel you're the best around

I have heard a good majority of these stories before on this channel but I will always listen to them again, they always have a calming effect
the story about that man traveling in Egypt broke my heart 😢

Greetings from Connecticut! BIG snow storm hopefully tonight. Going to bed to this xo ❄️🌨️❄️🌨️
*waves* Hey neighbor!
Ain't nobody living there
Wait can you make the rain sound louder?! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSS
I sometimes just open another browser window and have a channel with rain / thunder playing in the background.
For real
I love the rain and the numbered stories in the top right hand corner. So cool. Always be the first, Baby!
Story 9 had me thinking 🤔..... Wondering if maybe the two girls got a little tipsy together or something, maybe Seana and the author's girlfriend was driving and possibly hit someone. Maybe they buried the body of the missing person in the middle of nowhere, which would explain the search history. My mind went all over the place with this one!!! Love these super long sessions!
It does not explain the weapon though. Seems to me she's been forced into some criminal stuff
I have a feeling OP’s girlfriend got caught up in some criminal activity. He should watch his back - even though he claims she’s “not like that,” he could easily stumble into evidence that he’ll be punished for.
@@Lazydana19there have been countless gangsters, career criminals and serial killers who lived perfectly normal lives and their families had no idea what they were doing so no matter how much u might think u know someone there’s never a guarantee
I really hope we get an update on it ;-; The curiosity is killing me
I was thinking a home abortion with the shower an the two girls were together. So the weapon was to kill the boyfriend. Or they killed her man but the op girlfriend couldn't kill him so she chooses to stay with him. Just a thought.
Even though I've heard the majority of these before, thank you for posting a good grouping of stories.
I am a fan of the rain sounds! Thunderstorm sounds would be amazing!
First couple got train to York, then managed to drive home....thats stranger than the story itself 😊
First couple was so stupid that they probably don’t even know how they came or left the dang cottage.
That story was so fake that it made me angry.
It has to be fake.
In the wall: a safe
Criminals: a close family/friend of the owners that knew what was in the safe
You ain't safe
I’ve been sick all day and this is just what I needed. Thank you for all the hard work you do❤
Yyyeeeessss!!!! We have had parades all weekend and tomorrow is Mardi Gras day, so relaxing at home to my favorite channel tonight is absolute perfection!!! Thank you Joel!!!

Not as hot as me
I mean to be fair, most hot springs, hot baths, that ppl use are also geothermally heated: but humans gonna human
True scary stories, with rain, for 2hrs? 👀😮😁 I feel spoiled...Thanks Joel!
Lol the southern accent in the comic book story you read caught me so off guard.
They are actually incompetent at unfortunately

What about the farce that they went to the pub, got treated to many drinks, then had to go back to London? Who leaves a holiday late at night?
Story 1 also had me cracking up when they said, "We never had any hint of what was to come."
What do you mean!? You were very bluntly warned about "tried to do this the easy way." and the thief gave every indication of coming back. You were even offered a full refund! There was no excuse not to leave!
Who else is listening to Joel to fall asleep?
These rain sounds behind the stories is WAAAYYYY better than the brown noise! However, the other is still good! But RAIN?! ❤️ it!!!
Yes. & my favorite though, is the one that sounds like motorcycles zooming throughout 😊
Adding rain sounds is god tier 🖤
The rain sounds mixed with these stories give such an eerie, immersive vibe. Perfect for late-night listening!
Ohhhh I love the rain sounds, that was the only thing U were missing! My life is now complete, ahhh, thanks ❤

Dude, I already turned on ambient noises when ever i listened to Joel to just kinda add to the atmosphere. It being included now is amazing!!
