Hi jjjhhhhjhhhthhthththth. No B vc N. Tfdrr point

[@gingercupcake_yrt8417]

The fourth story made me cry. I just choked up tears and I couldn't hold back. I could feel the immense love between the mother and her son.

[@retrosiren824]

Me too!! I was crying a lot 😭🥺

[@OnyxCyanide]

I saw the first part of this comment as it was the top of the upvotes when I first watched this video - I stopped from reading more and just braced myself thinking okay maybe I can weather it - then it got to the part and knowing everything else - damn that hit me too, that is freaking hard not to get hit by that one without having to wipe your eyes.

[@dahliacheung6020]

Yeah I'm a mess of tears

[@ambersprague7570]

I’m literally bawling.

[@jenniferpeters6298]

Me, too

[@ellengabel]

Great stories as usual. Story 4 had me almost in tears. The older lady is quite a hero

[@arliesam217]

Indeed she was

[@takisforbreakfast]

Very much so

[@maggiedk]

I got chills and almost teared up, too. So heartbreaking.

[@SidVacant69]

I stained my paper with tears

[@Reece426]

I just don't understand why the 2 men didn't just grab the mom out of the wheelchair. Better to lose the wheelchair than your mother 😭

[@larissadutralopes5948]

Story 4 made me tear up, scary and so sad :(

[@chunkk5426]

Aww it's ok baby I can hold you and cuddle

[@gabrielleallen5304]

Story 4 has me in tears ☹️. I can’t imagine being in that situation.

@@chunkk5426 Ever heard of empathy?

[@markymark443]

Yea, that was definitely the most emotion I’ve ever felt from any of his stories (aside from intrigue in the other stories he reads). My heart dropped hearing what happened. Yet another reason to be grateful every day that we have it better than so many others.

[@robynsmith4164]

Story #4 - I can’t believe it’s been almost SEVENTEEN years since the day after Christmas/Boxing Day Tsunami… 😔 That was such a scary, horrifically unimaginable tragedy! No one around the entire world could even begin to wrap their minds around it all. I’ve heard so many tales brought straight out of the worst nightmares imaginable to stories of heroism and survival… It took such a long time to get footage from the areas anywhere near the hardest hit places… it was 2004 and there just wasn’t enough technology to get videos out of those places to the rest of the world in a timely manner! God Bless all those who lost their lives and their loved ones! I can’t even begin to imagine what it was like, even for all those who witnessed it all and didn’t get hurt… I pray there is never another colossal tsunami that steals so many lives for the rest of eternity! God Bless our world and everyone on it!🙏♥️✝️🇺🇸🌎 Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

[@sams3015]

Yeah that story made me tear up. With the way things are going I don’t think thoughts and prayers will do much good in preventing it though, I think if anything we are heading g towards bigger and badder disasters. I feel humanity has made its bed. I fear our future is going to have much more of these situations. Not to mention the forest fires and all the other disasters. I don’t want to think to about it…it’s actually scares me to my core. I just hope we can develop the technology that helps earn or save people.

[@RandyDaGamer]

God Bless You Too! Thank you!

[@chunkk5426]

My Sri Lankan dr advised me to stay healthy I need 50 million gallons of water per day! 🤣

[@annie_xo]

It was so horrifying. I had a classmate who was there, in Thailand, on holiday with her family, thankfully they all survived but she developed pretty severe PTSD. I remember that I had a party at my house and a song came on, and I guess it reminded her of what happened because she broke down crying in a full on panic attack. I felt so bad for her.

[@leecourtney9968]

You had so many positive words. Thank you. We are all just surviving every day. Life is hard. I would not want to be a newborn today.

[@inkedawkward3484]

The conversation between the mother and son in Sri Lanka just had me in tears while delivering maill on my route. I can't imagine how tough that would be. 😔

[@fencepost7286]

Story 4: i literally stopped what i was doing and just sat down and listened to that story, i'm so sorry they had to endure something like that, i'm glad you both made it and are safe

[@lisamclane8184]

Omg my heart .. I love this channel but the tsunami had me in tears . What a brave man . I know if it was me and my children, I would have done the same ..

[@chunkk5426]

I just split up with my girlfriend but like the Sri Lankan say "there will be another one floating by real soon!"

[@CryingJester]

Good lord... I was listening to this at work, and story 4 put me into complete tears.... Such a tragic disaster, and god rest those that lost their lives. And angels watch over those that survived. Bless you all.

[@Moonchildkarla]

Same! I started bawling at work because the part where he was told the exchange. It broke me

[@westhamaremassive8099]

The second story was so wholesome them crazy marines backing there boy

[@franklinstower6721]

That's what they do.... whether it's in a bar in Thailand or a mountain in Afganistan, they protect their people.

[@pacificahorrorsociety7525]

I have friends who are Jar heads. They’re loud and annoying but I wouldn’t want anyone else in my corner in a fight.

[@Elmnt5]

Wow like so many others story # 4 is heart breaking that made me cry! Having 4 children and just living through Ian-it is something that you would do for your child. Mother Nature is very beautiful and yet very scary at times. My heart goes out to so many that lived through and lost someone. 🙏🏻

[@MasterBuilderDragon]

I can’t imagine being in the son’s place in story 4. I feel like I’d sooner drown with my mom than I would let her go, but I don’t have a husband or kids yet so I can’t say I know how he felt. Either way I hope his mom got a medal or something the moment she entered the gates of Heaven. God bless her and may she Rest In Peace. Prayers towards her family, OP, and his wife too.

[@nilofarbawa2377]

Thank you for this amazing narration. Our family comes from Sri Lanka and your narration brought back some painful memories. Our village in the East was one of the worst hit. Entire families and homes were gone. May all the victims of the Tsunami rest in peace. 🙏

[@Ariconnie48]

Story 4 was heartbreaking

[@problematique9389]

I've never cried during a Lets Read video, but Story #4 did me in. Literally "hot lips, stuffy nose, tears spilling out"- crying. Great set of stories this go around.

[@mleighqs]

Story four breaks my heart.

[@teresamanthy551]

I found this gem of a channel over a year ago. Joel, you are one hell of a narrator! I think the best. How you got thru story number 4 without choking is just short of a miracle. 1st time ever Let's Read had me crying. God Bless the old woman and her son. God Bless the writer for standing up and being a good man. It helps restore my faith in humanity. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@indigosoul240]

Joel!! I read the title of this new video as "5 true scary VATICAN stories" and I think that'd be a great idea for a future video 😊

[@mylapagtalunan3137]

yes!

[@zarminazaheer2654]

I read it too as vatican stories....same idea came to my mind

[@caspersenrich8894]

Yes ! I agree please do it

[@priscillawileywilson5198]

I agree

[@smackedinthejaw]

Yes! Let's have it. The Vatican has seen a lot of drama over it's long history. There must be at least 5 interesting stories.

The 4th story omg a mother’s 🥰 is the purest and so unconditional 😭🥰😇😇

[@matthicksxx]

Hey, Let’s Read. I love your videos. I’m a truck driver who works the night shift, and listening to your narrations gives me the perfect entertainment I crave while out on the road. I discovered your channel a few months back, and instantly became hooked. Your videos have helped a job that can be tedious be so much more enjoyable. Thank you so much for your work!

The 4th story is heartbreaking. I can't imagine being put in that position. Truly devastating.

[@tosh9873]

God i dont remember when i last cried but story 4 had me with tears in my eyes and gasping. It's so heartbreaking. I can't even imagine if I had to do what that man had to do. Theres no words.

[@LordOfTheRings897]

These were REALLY good and unique stories. The one about the plane crash in Africa was so good. The one about the tsunami was heart breaking. I love these stories. All of them were well written, too.

[@serenascorpio4392]

Great stories and narration as usual but holy wow did I cry during story #4. I hope all of those families involved are ok and doing well right now.

[@SpaceCadet2569]

I went to Köln in the late 90s. I too went to sample some good ole German beer. (Gosh darn is it fab). My friend and I found a little cellar bar and we were the only 2 English in there. I had learned to say “Zwei Biere bitte”. That made the locals laugh. After more and more “zwei biere” the locals decided to start buying us these little bottles of ice cold schnapps. While laughing their asses off. My golly they were lovely. We had a great time. Then it was time to go. Walked up the stairs out of the door into the crisp winter night and promptly vomited down some poor sods BMW. So 2 horrors occurred the next morning. 1. The BMW. And 2. My Bloody Head. So while I say I have been to Köln, I do not remember much of it at all. I believe there is a really nice cathedral there. “Absolute ball ache”. Best expression ever

[@sylverscale]

That's Cologne for you. Born here, raised around Cologne, moved back into the city at 19. Loads of lovely people (I don't drink, though 😁), most of them very accepting of everyone. It's become even more colorful and multi cultural in the last few years with Turkish bakeries next to an African shop, a Polish supermarket across a Russian mom and pop store, a Vietnamese restaurant opposite of the pizza place. And between it all are the traditional German bakeries, but her shops, bookstores, and a brewery. Not to forget the gazillion of kebab houses. 😁 Yeah, we have a very large cathedral over here as well, and a quaint "Altstadt" with all the beer houses, pubs, jazz clubs, cocktail bars, and more right alongside the river where small ships (or large boats?) offer scenic rides. Glad you liked it here. 😊

[@893trent]

Wow been listening to stories for 7+ years never has one actually ever made me cry but that fourth one got me I love my mother so much I can’t imagine how hard that was to do that for him

The moment a cop scolds you because they are the worried kind of angry at you is a thing that happened to my aunt once when she let door-to-door salesmen into her home while she was alone and they refused to leave...

[@caroleastwood9386]

Joel. That Scary Vacatoon you just released must be one of the most interesting of your many stories. Bringing in real life Tsunami and Pablo Escobar and the downsize of a Safari by air really made them terrifyingly realistic. Yet strangely relaxing sitting in my cosy armchair in the U.K thanking God for my good fortune in so far escaping such terrible experiences. I loved the ironic humour aswell. So understated. Thank You Carol

[@problematique9389]

Vacatoon?

[@dahliacheung6020]

Joel, sometimes I think there are others but you reign as narrator supreme. I find myself holding my breath and tending up, riding adrenaline waves and then letting it all out in a sigh based on just your tone and pauses. I've listened to all your videos since the beginning and you were a real obvious talent when you started but you've molded and refined that which you had into pure craftsmanship. Incredible

The first story flashed me back to the time I was visiting Hamburg with a guy who didn’t drink but did smoked weed. I rarely partake but of course this time I did with some guys we met at our hostel. Of course it wasn’t weed and I found my self in a train station at some point convinced I was homeless with a complete different set of memories. When it was all done (I vaguely remember some Russian guy getting me back to my hostel) I notice I had no money and other things were missing 😩
