ASMR & Beer #40 - Let's Talk Holidays, Religious Traditions & Depression

[@DasKomet]

Gonna be honest, I'm glad to see more and more atheists/agnostics who are open yet respectful of others. As an atheist, I really dislike when other atheists attack individuals. Criticize beliefs, sure. But never assault people verbally for their beliefs.

[@EphemeralRift]

Amen. We all need to respect one another. That's key.

[@jacoman52]

I'd say the same thing for people of faith. As a Christian, I'm encouraged when I find Christians who follow what the Bible teaches and respect people who think about life from a different perspective. I agree--having an open, critical thinking conversation can be good for everybody. But respect is a necessity! Love these videos and the tone they have. And thanks for your comment, DasKomet!

[@PuddingWhispers]

Thanks for sharing your ideas about haters/trolls and people who think they own the reigns of your content. Nothing worse than getting people who judge too quickly and comment on things they don't care to understand. Like you, I'll either ignore them, fire back in kind, or let the rest of my level-headed subscribers deal some justice.

[@EphemeralRift]

Not sure how I missed you and your channel but I just subbed. Hard to keep track these days. I try to remain cool 99% of the time. And 99% of the folks are cool on the 'Tube. But there's that 1% that sometimes need a smack upside the head. There is nothing wrong with "managed" anger, I guess you could say. I've had anger issues all my life, mostly because of the bullshit I've been through. Now I'm trying to understand my anger. I think anger can be a good thing. It's basically a pain response. Self defense mechanism. (I'm no expert though). You stub your toe *boom* even before you know it you're angry. Your body is instinctively reacting to what it perceives is a threat. So it's the Fight response, right. Well you can stub your toe mentally too. And of course we all know about hurting someone mentally. When someone responds to us in an angry manner, even if they are pointing a gun at us, it could be a direct reflection of what we've done to them. Even as a society. People aren't born criminals. We turn them into criminals. All the violence in the world is a direct response to a lot of things we are doing wrong. Not you and I personally, but society as a whole, I think. Barring hate groups and extremists. I think we should embrace our anger but keep it managed and learn how to use it constructively and rationally. Okay sorry for the book ;) I plan on watching some of your videos over the holiday break. Thanks for chiming in.

[@PuddingWhispers]

I've been growing like a wild fire these past few months, and I've been putting in the work to get here :] I'll try not to fangirl but you are one of the Leaders in ASMR when it comes to quality, creativity, and entertainment (at least in my eye). You are also a huge inspiration/ motivation for me so it means a lot to have you check out my little group of dreamers and I, as well as joining us through our journey into the future. Trust me, I know about dealing with bullshit. I'm a veteran who used to work on fighter jets in every type of weather imaginable for 12+ hours a day getting dirty and greased all for a boss who only cared about numbers. I've come into contact with all kinds of people and, like you, over the years i've come to realize how beneficial managed anger can be. If used right, one can be more productive and resourceful at getting things done. And I've been using that ability ever since I learned it.There's a right time and place for everything, and a right and wrong way to react to things. Most people on here are genuinely nice, but yea, those 1-2% of trolls definitely need to get a good smack upside the head. I like letting my people take care of them in the comment sections. Always fun seeing trolls get handled by loyal fans. And I completely agree, we as a society create these criminals. As much as I know people are good, I can't help but say that I've noticed such a decline in society over the years. It's super sad because I know that there are so many good people out there, just trying to live and be happy. Anyways, it's a huge honor to get some insight from you and I would definitely like to have more conversations in the future. Enjoy my videos and your feedback would be super welcome! I aim to help mold and keep invigorating this community of ours. :]

[@doublebs2562]

Anyone with depression: You've made it this far, yes life can suck sometimes, but you gotta kick life right back on its ass and be happy.

[@DeathbatWhisperz]

You are by far one of my favorite people to watch in the ASMR community. Not so much for sleep, but for calm moments of relaxation where I can contemplate life. You have an incredible mindset Ephemeral, never give up on that. You make me think, consider things I've never even thought of! It's been wonderful and I'm thankful every day for finding your channel.

[@EphemeralRift]

Hey thanks. I try my best.

[@ManInMostlyBlack]

Glögg is a hot drink that is based on wine or liquor with all kinds of different spices in it, the common ones being cinnamon, honey, sugar, ginger, cloves, cardamom and black pepper. Its typically red in color and people often put raisins in the cup that you can then scoop up and eat after you have finished the drink. We in Sweden drink it during christmas and it can be either with or without alcohol. I read that glögg dates back to the early 1600s from Rome, people started putting spices in wine to make it taste better. We started to drink it in Sweden back in the late 1800s. I have never seen glögg being a base for a beer, so thats new for me. Happy holidays from a Swedish atheist!

[@maxlindberg2795]

Or as you can call it "spiced wine".

[@lipen99]

Mulled wine, it's pretty common during christmas times in europe, or atleast scandinavia

[@jonskunator]

Very popular here in Finland too.

[@CosylandWhispers]

Well that's interesting, thank you for sharing :) (just in case this comes across as being sarcastic, it's not!)

[@Pokemonblast1]

gløgg ftw!!!

[@Trixielexi]

I was in serious need of something to help with my depression. I was recently diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder and I do things that I can't completely control and have been feeling really depressed about how I made a lot of enemies because I couldn't control my actions. I'm at work and a customer had lashed out at me for forgetting his military discount and thrown his crumbled up receipt at me and I lost it. I had to shut myself in the bathroom and sob for a good 20 minutes. Thank you so much ER. This was a very very helpful video for me, and to start it off with a nice hearty chuckle that escaped from me after you brought out your youtube rule book and laid down the first rule. I feel like I comment on your videos too much, but thank you! Happy festivus, Merry Christmas, and a very happy new year to you!

[@EphemeralRift]

Trixielexi Comment as often as you like! Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@JohnnyyPC]

The subtle jokes you always sneak into your videos is awesome, Paul. You're a role model to me, I admire your open mindedness and compassion with how you live your life. Merry Christmas from Georgia :)

[@TerryHesticles87]

Since my mother is the only family I have on this side of the country, we often take in "strays" for the holidays: Other people who don't have many family members near them, neighbors, or those who have to celebrate alone. Often times it results in a rowdy good time for everyone! Merry Christmas everyone, may your holidays be tingly!

[@EphemeralRift]

That's wonderful!

[@WesleySnipesTaxAttorney]

Happy Holidays Everyone, no matter what you believe in. :)

[@EphemeralRift]

Amen.

[@56785678o]

thank you for doing what you wanted and not what everyone said not to do

[@bigbeast103]

Hey, thanks man. I could say more, but you've heard it a thousand times from others. What you do really helps people.

[@mariesoundhaven3720]

I'm sick as a baby and this really helped. Your voice is SO FUCKINH SOOTHING TO THE SOUL. I typically don't love Christmas as much as I used to but this year I'm in the spirit.

[@EphemeralRift]

Get better soon, Marie Sound Haven !

[@iassessyou2403]

I can't believe how relaxing this was. Your soft voice and the bottle cap sounds. Damn I knocked out! Great video!

[@EphemeralRift]

Thank you.

[@Psytezie]

I am positively surprised, you're so calm, so confident. You must be a very pleasant person to talk to in real life. Your art creations are marvellous. I wish you all the good luck and inspiration.

[@EphemeralRift]

I have my moments, but for the most part, WYSIWYG. ;)

[@RetroKitty777]

almost cried when u said, " all I want to do is exist" about the bullies. I see that at my sons school and in my day too :(

[@YouFoundBen]

I just picked up some oatmeal stout from Breckinridge Brewery, and am slowly sipping it as I watch this. It's excellent! Definitely worth a try. IWishing you and your loved ones wonderful holidays and a happy new year :-)

[@EphemeralRift]

YouFoundBen Ben, Wanted to wish you and yours Happy Holidays and thank you for all the kind words and comments you've been sending my way! I always see your name but end up falling behind and forgetting to write you back.I wanted to also say that I purchased 40 stamps and plan on mailing out the pieces you sent me. Not sure to who, perhaps Patrons, or half them and half other folks. But just wanted to say this because I know you sent me them on that premise, and I've honestly just never knew how to go about sending them out. But it finally dawned on me. So thank you again.Take care and hope you are doing well!

[@JuanZiAmaya]

Hey Uncle E. I'd like to make a request. An ASMR let's play of Papers, please!, I think it would be awesome to see your thoughts on it, it is a pretty great game, not meant for everyone though, but I think you will like it. Hope you see this, and next, I'm watching the video! Keep up the amazing work.

[@adamramadan8693]

This is a great idea. Papers please is a great indie game. Well I think it's indie

[@JuanZiAmaya]

Adam Ramadan Yep it is!

[@josszarnick2393]

Love the idea!

[@mockupower]

Yeah I want me too a gameplay of Paper please

[@JuanZiAmaya]

Thanks for the support! I just hope he sees this.

[@Muten_Shuten]

Thank yuh for this I love yuh you’re helping me get through a lot you’re such a great human being you’re one of my closest friend right now thank for everything mr rift you make my life ver bearable

[@DeathbatWhisperz]

Thank you for including the winter solstice!!! Happy holidays to you!

[@SuperReckless96]

Another great video. I needed something like this after this past week. I've been dealing with a death in my family and this made me feel better.

[@peacefulmindasmrtist]

Happy Holidays Ephemeral Rift!! =)

[@jesusofsuburbia8349]

The tingles around 12:40 with the beer bottle cap sounds, aaah memorising!

[@EAS573182]

Agreed 100%!! I keep rewinding it haha.

[@KwizeGaming]

He has a 1 hour bottle cap sounds btw!😊

[@jesusofsuburbia8349]

Yeah I kept rewinding it! And yeah I know, I listened to it only the other day actually :)

[@Rajaalke]

I LOVE your lip-smacking. It's a huge contribution to the ASMR experience :) I've really enjoyed this video as well as the other 2.5 hour long one. It's been interesting hearing your opinions on these topics, and it gets me to thinking about my own opinions. I think these kinds of discussions are beneficial not only to those experiencing difficult times, but to those of us who are fortunate enough to be in situations where we can try to discuss these things objectively. Thanks for creating lovely content.

[@Cowboybrian01]

I love your video's, everyday when I get home from school or work I always pop in my earbuds and relax to your vids, especially love plague doctor!! Thank you for your awesome service you truly make my life easier!

[@EphemeralRift]

Brian Chilcoat Why thank you.

[@Cowboybrian01]

You're welcome! Have a Merry Christmas!!

[@stevewright2129]

I love it when you add that subtle humour to your videos. Sometimes these serious videos need something witty to give me a chuckle ;)

[@blooba]

Damn straight. Don't let anyone here that disagrees with you on a personal basis stop you from making content.

[@crispx9642]

Merry christmas to you paul! Hope you have an amazing christmas, i admire you so much, theres not alot of people like you around anymore, thanks again for the amazing video! (: much love

[@AndyFresh]

Really love the video, happy holidays from the future. The "Walpurgis eve" or Valborg here in Sweden is my favorite pagan holiday. A big fire, friends and beer.

[@CilantroMC]

You should definitely do a video where you discuss some abstract philosophical concepts, like solipsism, idealism, skepticism, "brain in a vat", etc. Also, another amazing video, keep it up! I look forward to every new video!

[@EphemeralRift]

I plan to!

[@CilantroMC]

Awesome! Thanks, got me looking forward to it haha!

[@sncaden]

"We will never fully know anyone." Thanks for that quote. . So true

[@tazmain17]

Dude such a good video! You're a great role model. Thanks

[@EphemeralRift]

tazmain17 Well thank you I try my best.

[@circivile5193]

Agreed

[@CosylandWhispers]

This was both hilarious and heartwarming at the same time :) thanks Uncle E, and happy holidays.

[@GwynbleiddWW]

Great vid. Love the opening scene with the KZbin don'ts. You never fail to give me a good laugh.

[@willcutter6861]

Once again, another stellar ASMR video E.R. Merry Christmas from England :)

[@josszarnick2393]

Merry Christmas from Germany!

[@michaelgilmore9286]

Merry Christmas from Ireland

[@mockupower]

Hi from Italy

[@pavelfit7983]

Merry Chtistmas from Czech Republic !!

[@benji0093]

Merry Christmas from finland!

[@darrensings1381]

I support this guy because his mental health videos have helped me through hard times . Thank you brother i may not love all your random.videos lol. though i do love ypu as a person cheers dude . peace out uncle E x

[@bublleypop]

Thank you. I am beginning to go through a divorce. I mean I'm only 23 but being in the Marines and having a family is very challenging and what not but you have helped me fall asleep or just relax after a stressful day. Right now I have just been feeling empty and it seems like you don't pull punches and that's great so thank you very much.

[@pleasebepatientihavesevere1980]

Wish you and your family a good christmas and newyear, Paul.

[@LiamJRowley]

You're a great role model. Love your videos, Merry Christmas.

[@suhaketeimian5457]

This video deserves more recognition

[@xSpecStar]

You should definitely write a book, i would read it and i bet it would be amazing! Great video ER, i love there rambling videos.

[@jeremykyle6092]

You need to read a book; it would help your abysmal grammar LOL

[@EphemeralRift]

Jeremy Kyle Go be a douchebag somewhere else.

[@EphemeralRift]

xSpecStar I get that often and I ponder the idea from time to time...

[@jeremykyle6092]

Ephemeral Rift How about your house, there is one there already.

[@serialvapist5807]

Jeremy Kyle Your misuse of the pronoun "it" is unbelievable! What is wrong with you? The word is proNOUN not proverb. I'd tell you to read a book, but I'm unsure as to whether you are able to read. I suggest being tutored by a grade school child on your grammar.

[@michaelguerrero2899]

I never realized how cool and relaxed Ephemeral Rift is.

[@EphemeralRift]

Michael Guerrero Until you tick me off XP

[@RetroKitty777]

Hi sweet lovey. The fire is relaxing. I like the first #1 rule about peepees. lol. I love the holiday special brews they have out. I'm posting this comment 4 min in. I wanna sit back and relax to listen. Happy winter solstice to all.

[@EphemeralRift]

Happy winter solstice back atcha ;)

[@stevewright2129]

My grandma said that same thing that you said. She's been ill for a few years now and her quality of life generally makes it seem like it's not worth living, but she always used to say that if she got ill she'd like to be killed, like you say, so that she's not a burden on anyone else. Anyway she became ill and for whatever reason her wish has never come true (i'm not sure if she changed her opinion or anything) and now a lot of time is taken out of my Dad's life to care for her so it can definitely be quite tough for other family members and if you mean what you say about not wanting to be a burden then that is the most generous way you can think and people will respect you if you have that attitude.

[@TheManOfRash]

Yes! Manley is making a comeback

[@Wylein]

You seem so excited talking in this video that it makes me all fuzzy and warm inside.

[@ohyupfacts1403]

Suicide rates, and depression rates are much higher during the winter time, not Holidays in particular. (Although, I'm sure for some people Holidays are tough) but, the reason for that is because of the weather, and how there isn't much sun, and it's always dark, and gloomy outside. Thanks for the video man :) i really appreciate how much time you put into your channel. You never fall to relax me at times i really need it.

[@carlostorres6908]

look my comment...you seem to know and I want a 3rd opinion of how am I feeling....

[@joekie444]

Actually they're higher because people are happy all around you, and visiting family and if life is hard to you and you don't have a family or friends then yeah...

[@ohyupfacts1403]

joekie444 Of course there's other reasons people are depressed during the holidays. Just the weather plays a big part during the winter.

[@TheGorillabutter]

Awesome vid man! I like the honesty

[@EphemeralRift]

***** Thank you.

[@mrpetersanchez]

OHMAGERD! You can't talk about this Uncle E! Too controversial!I KEED! I KEED! Once again, you continue to outdo yourself, my friend. I've had a few close family members pass away during Christmas time, NO BIG DEAL! Do it up, I appreciate every type of video that you do, especially the beer reviews. Thank you for everything that you do. Take care.

[@88604MB]

This made me chuckle while also giving me tingles - perfection. Subbed =) Happy Holidays.

[@XDminecraftProxyXD]

my fav beer review, even tho I dont drink it still is nice to lay back and relax. *__* (tingles)

[@BenSimpson1998]

I can't be the only one who thinks the beer froth sounds like the crackling of an old record. It's great

[@bubbacrosby9603]

Haha, nice opening. Thanks for all the really interesting and relaxing videos.

[@jimbobmcmuffin4549]

one word for this entire video. wisdom

[@TheMaster9583]

First three minutes of this video made me laugh so hard. Not just an ASMR channel here

[@Aandersson001]

Haha I was about to fall asleep but then you started talking about adult diapers. I couldn't keep myself from laughing. Note that I wouldn't mind an unboxing of an adult diaper. Wouldn't protest agents you wearing one but that's totally up to you!

[@Pokemonblast1]

Kappa pls

[@cojocoolio]

Please make another video about religion. It was so insightful when you were talking about it in this one. I have very similar beliefs to your own, and I really think more people should look more deeply at why they believe what they believe.

[@EphemeralRift]

I will try! Thank you.

[@blue-arsenal8087]

Hey Ephemeral Rift I think it would be awesome if you did a q and a all about yourself. Love the videos.

[@MatthewD369]

Finally someone who isn't afraid to talk about religion and leave the comments on.

[@DasKomet]

Oh and, if you can find it out in PA, I highly recommend the Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat Stout. It's excellent.

[@EphemeralRift]

I will add it to my list. Thank you!

[@lil-missrarity2237]

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Paul or Ephemeral Rift, i just wanted to say that your last video and this video have helped me see how to live life. I'm always shy and i have taken your advice on how to be proud and not feel belittled etc. and i have realized that life is made to be lived to the full. so now i live my life as if everyday will be my last and i try not to let people get me down. thank you for the videos and for your help. :D

[@EphemeralRift]

Thank you very much. Wishing you a Merry Christmas too. :)

[@Funkloving]

Fantastic video's as per usual, don't suppose I could make a request? I haven't seen Corvus D. Clemmons in quite some time, I think he needs to pay us a visit again!

[@EphemeralRift]

King Kiticus He'll be doing a Christmas Checkup with Corvus this week. And I'm also going to squeeze out a Christmas Candy Man video too. But first, Iggy returns tomorrow.

[@connormason9266]

Ephemeral Rift Hey ER, off topic but I have a question. I've been a big fan of your performances for quite a while even though I don't have ASMR, and I love this community, and and I like acting -- so I've been considering doing similar things. Would you take offense to an ER-Inspired channel doing similar things with my own, separate characters? And if not, would you ever consider a collab if I did well?

[@AdelleRamcharan]

Ephemeral Rift omg Christmas Candy Man??? :DDD

[@blackmetalmagick1]

I tigger to the nail taps you do on objects, more please! :D cheers to you great sir

[@EphemeralRift]

I will try ! Thank you.

[@Faded4Life1000]

You are hilarious in this vid, thanks and hope to see plenty more reviews ER.

[@TabuhanASMR]

asmER & BeER show !!!

[@Biffonen13]

Glögg is a spicy kind of wine usually made of apples. It is very popular around the winter season and it's often served warm with raisins in it. The name comes from the old word glödga wich basically means heat up in Swedish although the word isn't used anymore.

[@Biffonen13]

And btw merry christmas to you and your family

[@CoffeeGoblyn]

I wish I lived nearer to him so I could shake his hand and tell him how much he has helped me in the past and continues to as well. Then, of course, follow that up by taking him out for coffee, because coffee is a great coversation starter, and I'd love to have a conversation with him. :D

[@shixerz_93]

Uncle E, when will you upload/make the "behind the scenes" part 2 ? I have been waiting for it.

[@nickkwatussi7080]

lol I laughed so hard when he just threw the shit in the fire 😂😂 your the best man

[@dillondeyoung1429]

Merry solstice

[@ollie8419]

Great video again :)

[@charliejupiter3751]

You are one of my people. It's funny how I feel like we are good friends even though we have never met. Haha

[@WishIWasJim]

You might find it enlightening to look up something called tone policing, as you said that you're open to learning, which is great. It's very important to consider when talking to/about issues relating to marginalised social groups.

[@garysirico1245]

Great video rift:) and btw in my opinion. dont ever feel like u took up to much becuase i could listen to u talk for hours. As i listen i thought damn paul would be a really cool radio host or something like that lol. And i may be preaching to the chourus but i do agree with everything u . great video and i wish you and your family a happy holiday:)

[@EphemeralRift]

Gary Sirico Why thank you. I do want to create podcasts in addition to videos. Like a 3-day a week show, but I just don't have the time.. yet... Thank you for the kind words and I wish you (and yours) a happy holiday too if you celebrate. :)

[@comogamesghtr]

I love this video

[@bobbdeg]

Love this stuff

[@ZachKeysMusic]

Uncle E. is the modern day Yoda.

[@serialvapist5807]

Finally someone who wants the same funeral as me! I would rather have my life celebrated rather than my death mourned.

[@EphemeralRift]

oh shit it's me I think it's an Irish thing, at least on my end. ;)

[@Anna-sj5qb]

This was a wonderful video :) I was just wondering about your yearly tradition of eating halloween candy, you didn't do that this year?

[@CharlieKnowsall]

My church friends were always a bit perturbed by the "intrusion" of Santa Claus, which they viewed as overshadowing the religious implications. I always told them that Santa Claus is the PR agent in the holiday spectrum. If he wasn't there to take the brunt of the atheist/non-Christian force, I have an idea the "war on Christmas" would have ended a while ago.

[@Stikibits]

There's no problem with religion or spirituality when kept to private lives and out the public sphere (where it interferes with the lives of other free people). Enjoy the season.

[@EphemeralRift]

And that really goes for a lot of things even beyond religion. There's nothing wrong with the public sphere as long as it's not forced. Nothing wrong with congregating. I have no problem with people who go to mosque or church or synagogue. I have a problem with anyone that tries to force anyone else to do anything, religious or otherwise. But that's me :)

[@Stikibits]

Ephemeral Rift You seem to be a secularist like the FF. Good stuff!

[@kkkkkkkk11112222]

Hey man I was wondering if you would be willing to do a video on loss of a loved one I think it would be interesting on hearing ways to cope and stuff love your stuff man and I'm a really bug fan keep on keep in on.

[@EphemeralRift]

hayden rivers I will see what I can do!

[@chaser7798]

My man Paul!

[@gulpgasp667]

Hey Rift. I have been watching your videos about suicide and depression. And I have so much respect for you, to be able to take your time to help others out and talk about this sensitive subject. So thank you for that. Also, I wondered as its something im struggling with at the moment. Would you be able to do a lil video about how to overcome, why that person may have done it. I mean sexual abuse. Especially in your childhood and having someone sexually abuse you

[@EliteHalo5]

Great stuff!

[@VexedFilms]

Excited for some more Plague doctor, but I might have to avoid Margaret... she freaks me out XD

[@postmortemspasm]

Those beers look warm, are you not supposed to drink them cold? Or are craft beers better at room temp? not hating serious question

[@JimmyTwoShoes94]

Depends what kind of beer it is. No beer should be room temperature though.

[@EphemeralRift]

I drink all my brews room temp. To each their own. :)

[@NoGGy]

Not sure if you are a fan or cider, either way it doesn't matter because it doesn't taste of cider. See if you can purchase Brothers Toffee Apple Cider....AMAZING!!

[@EphemeralRift]

Scott Ramsay I will add it to my list. Thank you!

[@Drater69]

Hahaha love the rule book part in the beginning.

[@AmnesiaForever]

Does that happen to be Mahone?

[@AmnesiaForever]

I don't think it's Mahone.

[@Alda1981]

Love your work brother. I had an idea for a future asmr video. How about securing a time bomb with a 20 minute timer. tingling sounds from cutting the cables and the audience will play the role of the second bomb squad partner! take care bro and happy holidays from Greece!

[@EphemeralRift]

Alda1981 I love it! I'll add it to my list. Thank you and happy holidays to you!

[@WRESTLINGDAVE12]

This sounds like an epic asmr video.

[@DecisiveRecourse]

excellent video!

[@HarryBrodie]

Hey Uncle E i was wondering if you were still uploading to spotify ? I was able to find a proffesor clemmon performance and a candyman performance but not much else just wondering if you stopped uploading for is i was incompitent with technology ?

[@noahprater2426]

Nice video is it weird that i see you as like a father figure you make me feel better after a long stressful day but i consider u family my father is never really around so really your all i have so thank you(dad)

[@EphemeralRift]

Noah Prater Well thank you. I hope you can get to see your father more often. Is there anything you can do to help or change that? You don't have to answer. :) Take care! :)

[@RetroKitty777]

medemucil!!! lmao....and adult diaper reviews. hahahaha. youre cracking me up. omg I think I woke everyone up.

[@gabagoolbandit]

E.R, you should really consider doing a candy man 4 or a salesman video both near the fire.

[@DaTux91]

I'm really interested in what you're gonna talk about in this video, but I should be sleeping already. Because the topic is too stimulating for this video to actually put me to sleep, I'm going to leave it here (at 0:08:00) and revisit the "Pocket" episode of the Couch Companion. I'll come back to this one tomorrow :)

[@herodotus7]

amen

[@Rovering0Spirit]

No idea why I tohught of this, but you should check out the band Andrew Jackson Jihad. The songwriter likes talking about social issues. They're folk-punk by the way, so maybe it's a bit soft, but check them out.

[@EphemeralRift]

Simply Rover Hm, I'm open to trying something at least once. Thanks!

[@tobim5574]

I posted a comment on his Facebook wall adressing religion and politics and why he should keep it off the page, the start of the video I feel like he atleast read it and adressed it in this video, thanks ER.

[@kristenrobinson8433]

I don't see it anymore

[@tobim5574]

Kristen Robinson He removed it. Leftists tend to like cencorship when right-wing people say anything they don't like.

[@kristenrobinson8433]

I see

[@tobim5574]

Devyn Hoopfer Thats what my comment stated in the first place you edgy neckbeard.

[@lucasgoldring8011]

I think it would actually be great if you wrote a book! You have a lot of interesting things to say and you pick up really heavy topics to talk about in your videos. I'm sure alot of people can relate to what you say (me included) and I would really believe in you writing a bestseller about maybe just human behavior or society of today. I bet you could write something that would raise a lot of questions and discussions. Anyways I think that would be great!

[@josephrojas1488]

Great video man
