Can a 50+ Year Old Catalog of COOL Stuff Make YOU Sleepy? ASMR

[@peterheinhuis3020]

I am 56 years old and you managed to bring me back to my childhood. Thank you for all off your effort you put in your videos and all the best from the Netherlands.

Another thought came to me. There are so Many people you have touched in a positive way. It takes a special person to do this type of work without wanting the notoriety of being "famous". You have earned our respect and admiration and yet we don't know your name or what you look like. I feel as though I truly know you though, through your stories. It has made me realize that a person's name or how they look has nothing to do with who they are. Cheers to you!

[@Blueboat21]

I would like you to know, I have been watching you for around the last two and a half years or so. But never had a KZbin account, but recently said you know what, let’s make one. So I would like to thank you dearly for the awesome quality content over the years. I fall asleep to your videos every night. Ive gotten into pens and you’ve reignited me into a lot of different things and I think I’ve become a better person because of you. So if you see this, Thank you

Howdy. I have been watching your channel for about 10 years now. I have never commented but I have always been a subscriber. I didn't realize how much I relied on your work for sleep and relaxation until the past couple of months when the videos slowed down a bit and I learned that I missed them. I wanted to finally say THANK YOU. I know you have been going through some things and we are all thinking about you and appreciate you more than you may know!

[@RelaxingASMR]

Thank you for taking the time to tell me this:)

[@stevenagle7293]

There is nobody 55 or older that doesn't truly appreciate this. Just fantastic. Reminds me of the old S $ H Green stamps days and their catalogue. Love to see that again.

[@TheDylls]

I'm 32 and I just learned about the stamp programs from the grocery store. And I thought that collecting Canadian Tire money took up space! Haha

[@odubhthaighp1931]

$500 in 1969 is staggering really. I remember my dad in mid-late 70’s spending £800 on a 3-in-1 system. He did like his tech. Our house in 1975 was purchased for £9000 I think. Imagine spending nearly 10% the value of your property on a SINGLE hifi now!!

[@karinberryman2009]

That’s a great comparison of prices! That TV cost a good chunk of the price of a house!

[@johnreynolds9089]

I'll be 53 in November... This is so reminiscent of the 70's when I was growing up. I had a one speed Columbia 20 inch bike with banana seat and high rise handlebars that I bought from my neighbor for $5 that I loved. On the way home with it I went right over the handlebars on their steep driveway not wearing a shirt,got some wicked road rash on my chest and broke my glasses 😏. Rode wheelies on that thing all the time...Used wadded aluminum foil to remove light rust from the chrome. Thank you for an excellent relaxing video 😁 Western Auto really had it going on 😉

[@theresaavery4670]

Yes, I made it through to the end. I thought this would make a good sleeper, but it was to nostalgic and interesting. I think we are close in age. I was born in 1956 and all your references to what you had or did at certain ages line right up to mine! I have been listening for about 8 years or so and this was by far my favorite. Listening to your life stories bring such calm and warmth. You have led such a blessed life, thank you for sharing the memories with us. That catalog, '(Something) Auto', really had it going on!

[@Shigawire]

Is like having an American grand dad showing me this catalogue. Super cozy and relaxing 😴👍👍 I'm Norwegian, but I do have US relatives.

[@craighoenderop5964]

I so love the rain and thunder as you chat, thank you

[@pegschr]

I had to rewatch this video(actually several nights) its one of my go to videos because of the amazing sounds of the rain, your voice, the horse hair wisk, and that spinng knife sound, sorry about all my comments, but I love falling asleep to your sounds

[@TimBrownBurnitdown]

You never miss,Sir. Your content has helped me on many restless nights for a couple years now. Your work is appreciated. Thank you.

[@mrfoodarama]

Im several years younger than the catalog, but it brings back memories! The men smoking Pipes, when I was a kid so many men in the family smoked pipes! I couldnt tell you the last time I saw anyone smoking a pipe. My grandfather had a glass door rifle cabinet. Never in a million years would us kids even touch it, let alone open it. I guess time does fly, as they say. Love the catalog videos, especially older ones like this!

[@spicychinchin6597]

Catalogues such as these were much before my time, I was born in 2002. However I feel an odd fondess and sort of vicarious nostalgia whilst browsing along during this. Thank you for the excellent video as always, have an above average day! All the best, -Patrick

[@tr239aol]

I’m 65 and just love you’re videos just remembering the dinette sets, we had one, oh and I have two items I do iron, California. Also so happy to see you back you were missed, I had a red wagon

[@teejmorrison]

[@incrediblepony]

Western Auto really had it going on! Very much enjoyed the video - keeps my mental state nice and quiet and helps me have a calm sunday afternoon

[@shweebnicole]

It's absolutely one of my favorite videos. I keep coming back to it, at least a few nights a week. Thank you so much for helping me fall asleep

[@tammywagner8032]

I used to spend as long as it took to go through the annual Sears catalog which was probably about an inch thick. Id pretend I was shopping for my whole life and had nothing but a big empty house. I'd choose curtains and garden decor, clothing and piwer tools. I was 8 years old. This has been so much fun to listen to. Thank you.

[@fantachoik6575]

Seeing all this vintage tech was amazing! And your magnifying glass is magnificent!

[@ds450forlife]

Thank you for being part of almost every night of mine for over three years now. 😌 Sometimes, i try to put other Asmrtists, but i never fall asleep as fast as with you. Your voice is just the smoothest. It soothes me every time. I wish you and the people you care about health, longevity and peace of mind ❤

[@StarOfArtemis]

It's because he's not trying too hard making weird sounds or whispering in a binaural mic or anything, he just enjoys flipping through these catalogs wish us and sharing his various passions.

[@diegosur]

I was very tired and played this right as I lied down for an afternoon nap. I couldn't tell you when I fell asleep (must've been almost instantaneous) but I woke up around the time you were looking at the tires. Your voice had been narrating something in my dream, something completely unrelated. (edit:) Wow, I was curious so just went back a couple of minutes in the video.... Some of the things you say are "had to be replaced", "wiper blades"(where the word "purple" could be understood), and "jacks" - well, the last part of my dream was about this queen that had passed away and how she *had to be replaced* , followed by a description of the court (apparently a farewell ceremony) where the predominant colours where green and *purple* and some of the people in attendance seating on these decorated benches were life sized *jacks* , like jacks from a deck of cards. It seems that in the light sleep of my afternoon nap your words were loosely guiding the events in my dream - and that's just the part I can remember. Interesting.

You are in so many ways the Grandaddy of ASMR. I’ve been falling asleep with you for years. And I’ve started whispering ASMR to help a not-for-profit theatre company. And you’ll see where I got the inspiration! So thank you. And finally a quote from Dylan Thomas. which may resonate with you. “Though lovers be lost, love cannot and death shall have no dominion.”

[@marysmusicaljourney2.0]

It started to thunder outside tonight, so re-watching this video seemed like the right thing to do.❤

Lol, I just saw that exact video a few days ago for the first time. He really had me there!

[@dokilar1]

That's really awesome. I'm 39 and can remember there being a Western Auto (and a Coast to Coast) in my little town growing up. My dad was a firearms dealer and these two stores were the local UPS drop off so I spent a lot of time in both stores. I used to love going into the lawnmower department at Western Auto as the smell of new rubber tires was overwhelming but pleasant so when you said "I wish you could smell this magazine" I felt that 😆 Amazing video, thanks for sharing as this was a huge trip down memory lane.

[@Skittyissocool]

This video was recommended to me, but I must say that is a interesting relic of the past! I think my grandmother has those types of books in her storage room :0

Those TV sets would be around 4-5,000 dollars today

If only prices were the same as fifty years ago that would really be relaxing! ☺️ Thank you!

[@jacket5456]

$1 in 1970 was about $7.40 So...prices were pretty high back then. The nicest, basic Television in that catalog was about $4,400 in todays money.

[@takeaim420]

[@ligma212]

​@@jacket5456yeah but they didnt have massive inflation and their dollar had more buying power plus higher wages. Plus certain types of technology were a luxury that wasn't common in every home thus the prices.

I'm a 60 year old man and I had an AMF tricycle. It was black and white and the 6" rear and 10" front tires had thin red walls on them. My daughter is 24 and she rode the same tricycle and now my grandson rides it down his street with his dad and mom. Never restored it, we just took good care of it all these years. It could use new tires now though. Thanks for the memories.

[@StarOfArtemis]

43:43 happened to me too with my last car! Had a 2010 Acura TL and it too had soy coated wiring and a couple squirrels managed to get up into the engine bay and chew up over a grand in wiring.

[@alexanderh7502]

The high price of TVs explains why back then there were TV repairmen. My dad did that as a side gig when money was tight. Nowadays, people will just often junk their TVs rather than getting them repaired. It's kind of sad and wasteful, but when you look at the price of TV's today when adjusted for inflation, it almost doesn't make sense to get them repaired, assuming the cost is over several hundred dollars. That being said, it would be nice if people would repair rather than replace. So much stuff just ends up in a landfill.

[@ogofog9120]

Thank you for another fantastic video, I have been following you for over a decade & you have always been my favourite ASMR artist. You’re calm & warmth comes through in your voice.

Fascinating. I'm in UK and there are a few items I recognise. I had a Winchester 190, couldn't make out the price in your catalogue though. Also surprised to see two skateboards. They didn't really take off until the early-mid seventies here. Also amazing how some prices haven't changed, for example washing machines and TVs.

The price of the saxophone in 1969 is about $1800 today. I played alto sax in school. My dad got me a top-of-the-line Selmer Paris in 1993 and I believe it went for about $3,000. Saxophones (and other brass instruments) can get expensive.

[@SeasideASMR1]

The fact that, adjusted for inflation, the price of things in this catalogue would now be *eight* times more expensive is wild. Example: That guitar that's $78.88 would now cost $634.64.
