Description: This is part 2 of 3 my Bob Ross Deep Dive series:
Part 1: His Legacy • Bob Ross: His Legacy (...
Part 2: this video
Part 3A: The Philosophy of Bob Ross: Ancient History and Modern Leisure • (1/2) Philosophy of Bo...

Let's dive deep into Bob Ross's humble Florida roots, learn about his interests, his friends, mentors, and family, and follow him to Alaska where he cultivated a joy that he'd eventually share with the world. Let's find out what made Bob Ross into the mysteriously placid man who's still winning us over nearly 30 years after his death.
A special thank you to all my Patreon supporters over the past few months while I've been diving into this cultural figure who's impacted what I do so profoundly. I hope this series is worth it.

Thanks! I know you must have worked so hard, wish I could give more to creators.
flynn that's super kind of you to donate any amount. means alot.
SIX HOURS?! I'm not even done with Part 1 yet! This is gonna help me fall asleep for years to come
Same lol
Literally years 😂😂🙌🙌 This shall be the ASMR classic masterpiece equivalent of The Godfather part 1 and 2 my dude
Honestly Rich, keep this channel going for as long as you can. I will never stop enjoying your videos.
that's so encouraging to hear. really appreciate it
@@LetsFindOut1хж😊ж

Э😊э😊😊
This is S+ tier content. You should do more of these long form biographies. Maybe on different philosophers?
Never stop making these videos, friend. They're the only way i can get to sleep most nights
really kind of you to say. so glad to hear youre enjoying it ape
Bob Ross is how I discovered that I had ASMR. Of course I didn’t know what it was at the time. I just knew that certain sounds and actions put me in a trance like state. It wasn’t until a couple decades later, thanks to UA-cam, I discovered I wasn’t alone lol.
yea bob tapped into a whole new thing in human culture
Grammar Nazi here. Technically the correct use of the term ASMR in this sentence would be "that I had an ASMR" since you had 'an Assimilated Sensory Median Response'.
You're welcome - feel free to rate my useless public service
You got me damnit… Who do you think you are anyway? Stop acting like a UA-cam Nazi or something.
That was a good call though. I give you a 10/10. Thank you for the correction!
@@UA-camNazi wouldn’t it be ‘an asmr’
@@UA-camNazi If we assume the "had" without article denoted the generality of it, it wouldn't be too much a stretch to think ASMR could have stood for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Responses. (He had such responses in general, not just that one time.)
1:53:32 That's a _Rich_ quote to remember! 😂
Been following you for years, I love your informative content and your unplanned humor. Keep it up!
hahaha i had to edit like 3 straight minutes of laughter out. dont know why but it got me. thanks for the love v
No but seriously that is easily a top 3 rich quote
😭
Bob Ross, all I can say is thank you! Thank you for showing me that mistakes can be happy accidents. And for showing me that a tree or a cloud need friends too
Wow the amount of research and effort that went into this (and fantastic editing) is insane, as always a very relaxing and interesting watch 👍
really appreciate the kind words lucas
Damn you and the french whisperer just dropped 10 hours of content within the same hour
The 2 best
6 hours, omg! Thanks so much for this! I've been falling asleep to your content for months now. Legend!
thanks for the comment cal. appreciate it
Thank you for not shying away from making the best in-depth and lengthy ASMR videos on the internet.
Your ASMR is always insightful. It's not just forgettable fluff. Bob Ross is close to me because I watched his show with my grandparents when they were alive many years ago. I have a Northern Lights replica framed in my bedroom, and it always makes me happy when I look at it because it reminds me of the happier times of my youth. Your passionate coverage of his life is superb.
awesome that he was such a positive part of your childhood. thanks for the kind words eddie
Love your vids mate, equally relaxing and interesting. I don’t know whether to sleep or take notes
thanks inc. i worked hard on this series so that means alot
So true!But ultimately the vibe soothes my mind
6 hours… holy hell rich bless you
there was so much i couldn't narrow it down. i wanted to share his life story for everyone who finds relief in his videos
Oh, hey! Welcome back, Rich! Hope you and the family are doing good. Certainly wasn't expecting you do drop a six hour video like this but I'm not complaining!
Your are still, after all these years, my favourite ASMR artist. I hope you and your family are keeping well 😁
that's really kind of you. thanks man
Always a pleasure to watch your content captain. I wouldn’t mind a soft spoken paint video inspired by bob.
tempting. maybe later this year
Well this just made my June. Thanks for more Bob Ross content!
awesome. thanks diz
Wow , there will be part 3 as well..
I just completed part 1 somehow and now I was just starting the part 2 and you announced the part 3. Your ASMR channel is something more than ASMR. It makes me sleepy but still I learn something new everytime until I'm up and watching the video. Thank you very much for that. 😌
thanks rewarding to hear denis. thanks for tuning in. i went deep on this one, but bob obviously has been a big influence on the culture and the asmr community in particular, so im glad to hear people are enjoying learning about him
Definitely a deep dive! Love this video and part one! He was such a huge part of my life watching him in the morning with my mother and just learning about him is intense thanks Rich!
Stephen
so glad you loved it stephen. thats cool you were able to make memories like that w your mom

really appreciate the kind words and support jota. means alot. thanks. especially glad you like the bob ross series. i really enjoyed making it. he was such a great guy
Holy moly... You are one busy guy! What an incredible undertaking, well done!
thanks cc
Love this it’s amazing. Side note I listen to the French whisperer and he’s the best and I know your not doing ASMR anymore and just doing soft spoken learning and fun videos and I love that you have moved with the times However you have the most amazing asmr voice when you whisper weather your exploring something or just making sounds for relaxing , I especially love your old background sounds like cars in the background or maybe there were cars I don’t know but do you think perhaps every few months you could make an asmr video even if it’s every three or four months. I know your so busy now understandable absolutely I’m simply asking but if not I still absolutely adore your channel. I discovered it years age and Santa sold shrooms was my absolute be all end all to being hooked on your channel. I have tried really hard to find that book anyplace in any condition and I couldn’t find one but I was lucky enough Amazon had one offered kindle addition and I have it on my tablet but I’m still searching for a hard copy. Love the bob Ross vids I had to watch him paint an ocean wave breaking onto the beach over and over again because my daughter wanted a mural and I must say after watching at least 100 times and correcting my mistakes the mural came out pretty darn good. I had to watch a lot of Bob Ross videos to find that type of painting because he usually painted woodland landscapes. Also regarding MR. Ross being in service, My father joined the marines at 17 during WW2 and he was a cocky young man I was told I knew my paternal grandparents for years they were so nice good parents lovely marriage and off my dad went. Fast forward he lives after spending most time on Guam and Japan three years later he came home ready to marry my mother and she said no wait a year so I can see what you’ve become and after a year they wed and I’m the last of five children one sister three brothers and my father was such a gentleman in every way he never cursed he never hit us never abused our mother in anyway his discipline was a long long lecture a discussion and than doled out no bike for two weeks of whatever fit the situation. One day I asked my beautiful strong mother how is dad like that ? and she said he simply told her he’s had his fill of cursing and violence and hated having to defend himself to the death against another young man like himself and thought about there families there mother father siblings just like us at home. He didn’t self loath but he was worried that heaven or hell might exist and is he in trouble for being a cocky 17 year old happy to defend our righteous country and than well he wasn’t cocky anymore. He said I will not talk about it accept when the war was declared over his best friend were so happy his friend lit a cigarette and than was shot in the head And he discussed how guilty he felt hurting men boy some just to stay alive and so he vowed to be a gentleman and he was he passed in 2020 94 years old my mom passed 2012 he wanted to be with her they met in high school and were married over 60 years and I can attest they loved each other like I’ve never seen just like all four of my grandparents did I’m so privileged to have had that I know and I’m grateful and humble. My point after all this is maybe Bob Ross felt the same way and to add my father had siblings and he rough and tumbled with them he was no wimp. He believed in universal healthcare for free and two years free college outside of high school free more medical clinics for low income and take care of the veterans BUT that said he also believed in immigrants coming to this country because he grew up in a melting pot as a kid with every household a different nationality with broken English and different religious backgrounds he and his friends ran from house to house and were invited to celebrate and learn whatever each family may be celebrating all the parents and grandparents of all the families loved all the kids and it was the happiest memories even he and his friends spoke different languages and it didn’t matter somehow they figured out each other’s thoughts and handicapped kids there were a few they weren’t looked at as weird or they would be in horrible trouble instead they instinctively knew they needed to include and help them. They helped the grandparents of each other’s families. He wasn’t a socialist but he believed in humanity and how very very precious life is he was a democrat an old school democrat and he was actually very annoyed when Hillary Clinton’s healthcare package wasn’t respected he saw no reason why she couldn’t help her husband he said she was a brilliant woman. With that said Wikileaks didn’t exist nor did conspiracy theories like now he was just a great man he also believed in making dreams come true and owning your own business as he did he was a master carpenter and than a master builder so a little capitalism there lol near the end he made toys for Toys For Tots and donated them when that’s all he could do.
thank you for that thoughtful comment 27, sounds like your dad was a great man. i will still be doing some explicitly asmr videos for sure, just mixing it up. glad you liked the video
Wow the work you've put into these Bob Ross videos is incredible, really a pleasure to listen to! I've just finished this 2nd part that has kept me company while I've been painting a large Bob Ross inspired landscape. So funny you mentioned the DePaul exhibition that looks at artists influenced by Bob, my work was in that show :) Can not wait for part 3!
No way! That's so cool your work was shown there. Really glad youre enjoying the video Neil

The video:

Dude I’ve seriously already been on this for like 3 days.. 😂😂🙌🙌 🥲😭🤧 I said it in a comment response but this shall go down as an ASMR classic masterpiece saga equivalent of The Godfather parts 1 and 2! 🔥🎥 You truly outdid yourself with all of the research and insight! Well doooone, serrrr! 🙇♂️🥳🥳🥳🥳 I go sleepy now 👋🥱😴💤
lol that's god tier thanks man
@@LetsFindOut1 😂 WELP! You just but out another one so it’s Lord of the Rings now we gots a trilogy wtfffff 🤌⚔️🤯🤯
I listened to this on spotify and I found 1:53:36 extremely funny 😂
Great video my guy. But I need my universe fix. Please bro. I just love outerspace.
im on it. i'm sick atm but we'll be back in space in no time
We'll meet again my friend. Somewhere in the universe
Hot damn 6 hours
💛
Remember to watch the Netflix documentary done by his son...
Bob Ross was a great man who died way too soon and is missed by many like me.
2:09 myself included rich 😂
lol
You are a prince.
yo how is that chair btw. i almost got it but $500 a chair is a lot
overall probably 4.5/5. only qualms are that it could be a bit softer and i wish the seat tilted back with the back part like some chairs do. but the lumbar and general build are super nice. I got it on sale for 400 from razers site
@@LetsFindOut1 hey thanks man
How bob looked before he got his iconic Afro, it’s kind of uncanny looking. Speaking of which nice haircut btw
I just realized bro kinda sounds like Tom Petty
Only thing is the 350 is not a big engine it’s a small block and it would have had at most like 375 horsepower still an awesome car sorry as a car guy I had to comment on it
ah ok. i don't know my way around engines clearly. thanks for the correction. still would've gone fast enough for me im sure.
@@LetsFindOut1 oh ya no doubt its just my bit of knowledge to add to this super informative video
The year is 7052, LetsFindOut and I have entered a blood pact that doesn't end until he uploads his video on Venus, however I'm beginning to suspect he is abusing the pact for the sake of eternal life, will update in another 5000 years or so.
It's messed up and I feel really bad and I sit besides your son's loss but what they did to Bob Ross I wanted to see stuff just messed up what they did and like you didn't really deserve it man I want to be surprised after the reason why. And everything I want to be surprised it's not really to the reason why it's like that it's just messed up like I feel so bad for Bob Ross family I feel so bad like it's really messed up like the wall she's going to get consequences it's just messed up like I really felt bad like oh God that's just messed up where they did today it's just like you know what you look at somebody and you see what he did too much I can't but he did is messed up
HE SUUURE WAS THICC WITH 2 C'S NO CAP ON GAAWD
Bob shouldn’t have died as soon as he did
You overdid this.......too much unnecessary pausing, too much irrelevant stuff you drag out. If you would have kept it to 3 hours you would have accomplished the same thing!!!
yea. i definitely couldve streamlined it. just didn't have time to edit it down. sorry and thanks for the feedback carl
I refuse to sleep. This is too well researched and executed to be wasted! I will be waiting for part 3 😍
really enjoy hearing that thanks oni
RICH! So good to see you! And to see you taking deep dives into what you love 💕
P.s.
Me, sees this video, "Rich! Yay! How've you been my dude?!"
Teen son, "mom, who are you talking to?"
"My friend Rich, haven't seen him in a minute"
"Where is he?"
"Oh, he's my UA-camr friend"
"Mom."
😁😊🤍😴💤🧐🤓
Edit: in defense of my enthusiasm, i had obviously missed part one & hadn't seen Rich in months 😂😁
hahaha i talk exactly like that about channels ive been following for a while. so accurate. great to hear from you ob. and thanks for the sweetest comments. hope you guys are doing well. have a fun summer!
this has single-handedly kept me going today. 🫶🏽🥹
