Nice smashed phone screen, bud. 👍 Also, my language of choice would be Korean. A good friend of mine from high school is Korean and she kickstarted my interest in the language.

[@BitchChill]

Are you a Spaniard?

[@nyanchan3523]

When he said "hola amigos" I was like "in what video/chanel/thing I got in" 😅🤣🤣 But your spanish sounds good, but I got a question, would that mean that you would also upload your old videos in spanish or just the new ones? Cause me and my brother like your stories, but he doesn't speak english so after the end of every story I have to explain to him what happend in the story (He loved the criptids video and the ones that involves detectives and under water stories)

[@mazur1rs]

I love ur stories bro! Ur awesome and never quit! Make sure to keep making these stories!

[@karentibbs291]

I’m love listening to i would try Spanish or Native American

[@silvercandra4275]

Props to the Kim guy, that actually looked into Randy and that whole story.

[@ZombieSazza]

“In hindsight we shoulda called the police” Always call the police in situations like that, it doesn’t matter if it’s “someone else’s business”, someone could need HELP. It’s better to be a busybody and “nosy” than to be someone ignoring potential life or death situations.

[@lcanaled3186]

Should have called the police!

[@ariesarielsful]

Nah not at all. No one screamed for help. They were having an ‘encounter/experience’ and those people need to STAY IN THEIR OWN YARD.

[@curator3539]

I wish there was more of a conclusion to the 'Kim' story. He looked into as much as he could but you just know 'Randy' is still out there being a dirty creep.

[@jacobbowling263]

Joel, I have a lot of respect for you and I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for this channel. You are a blessing to the let’s Read community and honestly I can’t thank you enough for your work thank you my brother and friend.

[@Scaredeecat82]

Spawned a bunch of imitators too…they do the graphics in their thumbnails in a very obviously styled copy…and they attempt that sexy soothing voice but never get it right 😂

[@bitemeandfindout]

What is with these people who "hope" people don't get up to no good but aren't willing to take action? What if you were the one screaming and the neighbor was like, "Oh gosh, we don't get involved where I'm from... I just hope someone else reports it."

[@wplains]

Totally agree, they should have reported the neighbor’s strange screams. Imagine if she was there torturing someone?

[@KKelly-ng1ni]

The only places I know where people don't get involved is trash places full of crime. And why did her partner send her over to investigate when they heard the screams? What kind of sense does that make?

[@shaneaccented9682]

Yea that story angered me on so many levels

I feel bad for the ex-con, and the fact Andre wouldn't believe him is even more infuriating.

[@chronic_payne5669]

That’s funny I don’t believe him for one minute, his story has as many hole as Swiss cheese

[@gtg488w]

I don’t believe him either. That story makes zero sense

[@pamelameckley5040]

Story #5 - I feel for that guy who thinks he's cursed. No idea why someone would impersonate him with accomplices and pretend to be someone that was attending the event. So many unanswered questions in that story that I'd love to know. Him too, I suppose. Great stories, they keep you invested in listening to them, very interesting and Your voice is smooth and voice acting is superb, Joel.

[@ItsDanaKy]

How can you not report screams and blood coming from ur neighbor’s house?

[@joeysingingchannel]

Seriously. Unless they were also in some shady business...

[@SNixon14]

Cause he was dumb enough to actually think the blood on the woman's hands was red paint.

[@Dgr__003]

That girl who said she was doing art for her clients her art is taking peoples organs and selling them to her “clients” on the black market that’s my theory

I know who the pirate stalking Beach man was. The biggest clue was the last thing op said. "Where did he come from? But most of all where did he go?" It was Cotton eye Joe. I solved it. Case closed.

We’re by NH and we were out for two(ish) days and than our whole town lost internet last night until about six pm today, but I’ll take that over no heat 😅 school is back thankfully and now to start looking for a new car lol.

I can’t wait till your birthday…… Yup. I said it. I swear to you, it’s the highlight of my year…. I thought of it, already at the turn of the new year… I used to be a pyrotechnic. I’d do multiple fireworks shows, throughout the week of the 4th of July, in the greater LA area. Whenever a “six months prior” point hit, for the fireworks shows, I’d start to feel it coming on because I was so excited for it.. Well, June 4th, is the same for me because it’s soooooo fun. Get ready, buddy. You’re B-day is increasingly becoming the highlight of the year.

[@robynsmith4164]

About Story #5, The Cursed Preacher. If the author of the story really had nothing to do with the break in, I truly feel awful for him especially if he got his life together and was preaching love. From someone on the outside, I can see why Dre and the police thought the author’s story sounded so fishy! OK, #1, how could three men try to impersonate one man, especially if they don’t know him well? Wouldn’t Dre have saw the face of at least the "first" guy who blindfolded and bound him? Then, #2, if three men were beating up one guy, you know the three would talk amongst themselves while trying to hold the guy down and beat him together! Also #3, if none of the three intruders knew the author of this story AND they managed to gag him BEFORE he could even say a single word in Dre’s bedroom, how and why would one of them go about “deepening their voice" to sound like him??? Dre had supposedly known the author for YEARS and had been good friends with him so there’s no way Dre would mistake his voice with someone else’s! If the author is telling the truth, 100%, I pray that Dre does finally come around and they become good friends again. God Bless America! ♥️🇺🇸🙏🏼😇

[@imabruab]

I love your stories. I love your channel. I was listening to the intro, Babble. I guess you've already been told, since you're learning Spanish, that the silent letter in our alphabet is the letter "H". The letter "J" sounds like the letter h in English. For example: Story=historia. In Spanish you would pronounce istoria. The h is silent. When you say: Juan conto una historia. John told a story. The pronunciation would be: Huan conto una istoria. I wish you the very best of luck in all your endeavors. 🙂

[@Julie-ys7ws]

True! He pronouced "hoy" very well though, so I wonder if it was just a mixup because the word historia is so similar to history. I really hope he keeps learning!
