Day 45 of asking ER to make a video where he tells inanimate objects just how truly he appreciates them.

[@vergil-__]

I wanna see that

[@lightniong66]

I want to see it happen

[@AjZombie08]

Awesome Idea Yess

[@pomdigz9893]

Fork... Oh, fork. How i love you. You have been with me through thick and thin...

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Erd tree, o erd tree

[@toniwilson6210]

This is either a meta-analysis into the psychology of a flasher, a re-exploration of childhood trauma, or a stand up comedy set.

[@kandyeggs]

I was expecting hilarious childhood tomfoolery, not that!! 😭

[@MaxifyTraits]

i love hearing ASMRist's actual voices, its so unreal to me how different people sound whispering

[@cocomike799]

I love this type of videos...i lost my grandfather in 2014 and one of the things that i missed the most is his stories...now this videos remind me this moments

[@Icza]

Oh man my grandpa would tell the longest winded stories, he would start, get quiet and put his head down like he's thinking, push his glasses up and bring his head back up for a few more words. You'd start to wonder if there was really a story to be told, but it always turned out there was and a good one by the end.

[@keiko3520]

That geniunely caught me off guard, i was not expecting that at all i had to pause for a second man..

[@PeanutBrainz]

I have a name idea for your stories, “Ephemeral Escapades”

[@CallMeMrDodge]

I love flicking through the comments and seeing how many you like and reply to. It really makes me feel how much you care what commenters have to say. Have a good 2023 good sir

[@ivaniousivanious6234]

At the middle of the story I was almost asleep till you mentioned that part, that I didn’t really expect, it made me listen to the whole story till the end 😅

[@Hi_thair1234]

ER you’ve gotten me through some tough times stressful days of my life. After work I watch your videos it helps thank you rift.

[@panacea_.]

How both interesting and relaxing this was! Thanks for this one ER!

[@mirrro2]

Hey Paul, thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. Anyways, love your content as always and would love to hear more of these when you have the time. Cheers!

[@mifflinfinity]

These story episodes are awesome! Surely you have many stories to tell, you just have to think specific topics, like funny / bad things that happened at one of your jobs. Or stories about first experiences, like first industrial concert, first time trying w33d, first time falling in love. You’re the man Rift!

[@DaniBadger777]

How you don’t have double the subs you al have already is beyond me. You need to narrate books, movies, anything. I’m all for it.

[@Khuros]

This type of content is super great for me to sleep to. Thanks. Long form ASMR talking is the best.

[@lYODAl]

ASMR godfather 🫡

[@jazmingwadley4039]

Love Listening to this while finishing up my animation assignment ☺️

[@nightscraper76]

Love your videos there the best thing on KZbin. They put me to sleep and relax me for when I need to and I think you would make a great writer. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@Condopets]

E.R. your art form is the spoken word. You could succeed in writing because the way you type is eloquent, but I think it translates just as well in the way you speak. I’d love a book of stories or ideas, even photos/jokes etc from you!

[@slimybro940]

truly the scariest moment of all time

[@MilesMario]

papa rift giving us homemade audio books

[@georgeheilman885]

I remember in my early teens in the mid-90s taking a shortcut home through a park and some hobo suddenly appeared out of the reeds, trying to get me to drink from the filthy gin bottle he was nursing. I managed to get away unscathed and without issue, but I could've done without the calling as I walked off. Basically, I can relate and thank you for sharing such a resonant story and viewpoint.

[@CaptainExult]

You have inspired me to do my own ASMR and I want to say thank you. I you're my favorite asmrtist

[@funkym0nkee77]

Pretty much this exact scenario happened to me and a friend at that age too. Its really weird looking back on it as an adult and realising how fucked up it was. I remember at the time sort of nervously laughing it off but then going home and not speaking all night

[@lunakat7020]

I am always seeing naked people it's crazy. Back in the 1970s a few of my friends were walking by the town pool early in the morning. We saw the maintenance man sweeping around the buildings we noticed he has his junk hanging out like it was nothing. We were about ten years old also we started laughing at the guy then he walked back into the building. We told our parents and later that weirdo got fired. Years later I just happened to look out my front door and I saw my neighbor across the street standing completely naked in his door way. I yelled for my husband to look and he says why do I want to see that shit lol. The neighbors later said the guy was a nudist but still it was really strange lol. I saw a few more things like this but it's too long to get into.

[@HomelessFroggo]

Love these rifts to the past

[@MooSaidChicken]

People always shut my stories down because i take too long, describing all the details. I like it though. I think I am a similar story teller to you. Its fun fully enveloping yourself into the story though. Some people hate drawn out stories, others love it. I love em. You were speaking on writers, slow and drawn out, is the way I feel most writers would tell a story. I think you'd make a good one.

[@artemis.sonder]

I don't know anyone who scratches my ASMR itch like you do. Always unique, interesting, entertaining, and sends me straight to sleep. You have talent, who is doing it better? Tell me so I can go watch, because I haven't seen it yet.

[@movieman5773]

I'm 18 and I feel the same way you do and always have. I have things that I kind of like doing, but I don't have the drive or interest to pursue anything in particular. It's been a point of frustration for some time now and it hasn't helped with my confidence either. People tell me I don't need to know what I want to do yet, but me not knowing what I want to do isn't what concerns me. What does concern me is that I don't seem to have ANY interests, or at least any strong one's. I'm just hoping one day I find something I'm passionate about or at least like enough to do for work. Editing as I watch, and I do the same analysis thing hahaha. I'm always thinking about stuff I see, even if it doesn't really matter to me at all. I guess it's just a habit.

[@almostzentv]

Love these! Keep em coming!

[@vonWolfeXIII]

I'm all for the short shorts coming back. The true shorts. Down to the knee or passed is so uncomfortable

[@mikefitzgerald1013]

Loving the stories keep them coming ER

[@bobd9116]

Really like this series

[@javodey]

"Riftside Chats"! Kinda like Fireside Chats or something

[@iamthedoctortoday5788]

I vote we call these "Story time with uncle E"

[@SushiBonJ]

Good sir Paul, I can only say I wish dearly I could double subscribe to you. You content brings great joy and entertainment. I'm thankful you devote such time and effort to bring us these videos, cheers good sir

[@stormhunter2627]

i had to reread this because i thought you didn’t say “double”, and i was like “this isn’t twitch, you don’t have to pay to subscribe” and then i realized i was just missing an entire word 😂

[@backroads_motorsports3531]

We shall call it Tales From The Rift

[@dejanmilosavljevic650]

ER...u have big hello and support from Serbia.. I watch and l follow your videos very long time.. But l write to u first time now... Ty for your story...u are smart and u know in moment what to do.. Someday l will give u 1 story.. Tc my friend...

[@Bea-the-one-and-only]

Hell yeah, last time i was this early the pickle chips video was new

[@cjputasso]

I feel like when we are good at something we think that anyone could do it, but when is someone else we call it talent.

[@willum-463]

I love your videos Ive been watching since 500k♥️

[@GloveClanOG]

The moral of story, kids- don’t put playboys in your coffee table and bring back 70s short for proper use

[@anubis-topcity4367]

What equipment do you use for a standard recording session/stream? 🧐; also, love the content (keeps me from committing atrocities at work), keep goin & may ‘23 bring you Enlightenment

[@EphemeralRift]

Why do you think I do what I do? ;)

[@chrixsecret]

Proud, long-time, quiet fan of yours.. got into ASMR/Lovecraft because you. Would happily read a book, should you write it. Please do!

[@jaykarhunen6568]

i'm getting Norwegian sea captain vibes. :D All you need is a corn cob pipe, and randomly break into sea chanties. Maybe optionally sitting by an inconspicuous fire.

[@Slibbo]

Born for one thing is such a good song

[@AnvilJeff]

Imma be honest with you, this sounds like a scene straight out of "The dangerous lives of altar boys". Anybody else remember that movie?

[@EphemeralRift]

I was an altar boy too for a short time. Thanks for the reminder! 🤣

[@zardthedragon1896]

i would love an asmr podcast like this, the only downside is i wouldnt be able to listen to it while driving

[@Swup]

i wanna see a video where you are an attorney for a galactic space criminal and going over the case

[@vanessaashford9203]

this kind of reminds me of something I was just remembering the other day. Back when I was probably about 7 or 8 years old I was at a park with some other kids around that age, and I can't remember exactly why we were all there, but whatever the reason, there was limited adult supervision for that age (so I don't think it was a birthday party or a school thing, as there weren't parents or teachers immediately present I don't think). But anyway, this girl who was I think just a little older than me came up to me and some of my friends and warned us that some guy (I think an adult? Although possibly like an older teenage boy, I can't really remember tbh) was lurking over by the bathrooms exposing himself to her earlier. She actually used the term "flashing" iirc, which, although I wasn't like exceptionally innocent for that age (like my family wasn't religious and by that age I already very vaguely, clinically knew about sexuality, but this was like 1997-ish, so the internet wasn't much of a thing and not something I had access to), I had never heard before and remember I had to ask her what she meant by that. Anyway, I thankfully never saw the perv myself, and that's probably why at the time I remember finding the whole thing more confusing than frightening, like I just didn't for the life of me understand why some grown up man would be randomly exposing part of his body to little girls, it just seemed bizarre at that age, but looking back and remembering that this happened now at age 32 is immensely disturbing, like I'm incredibly lucky that I never ended up personally interacting with the creep, and we were all lucky that seemingly all he did was expose his junk, because I now have the wisdom and experience to realize just how much worse it could've gone. It's always weird looking back on these kind of "near-miss" potential traumas that didn't mean much to you at the time they happened, but are just completely horrifying in retrospect. Also tbh, looking back on how many times before I had even gone through puberty where adult men were basically already lowkey hitting on me, or at least commenting on my appearance in ways that, once again, didn't mean very much to me at the time, but in retrospect were totally not appropriate for any adult to say to a child.

[@isekaibarnskye2125]

This segment/type of video should be called Stories from the Rift

[@braindead-]

FIFTY TWO??!!!?!?!?!?!??!??!

[@light2990]

so relaxing

[@pandorasflame7742]

Papa Rift, if you make yourself an Amazon wishlist I'm sure someone here will buy you the album. I know I certainly would if I didn't just pay all my bills for the month.

[@donkeyking05]

It would be awesome to hear some creepypastas from you 👀

[@travisfontenot6263]

It was your pizza incident, someone almost jacked you for your pizza LOL. Love your stories keep them coming

[@rygoboyz]

I'd love to see the fruit or vegetable microphones return :)

[@alexpoland2998]

Excited for that Dead by Daylight video!

[@Rookieambassador]

Me who fell asleep in the first three minutes and is rewatching the video again trying to actually listen to the story🗿

[@the_whole_horse6409]

I think a good name for the series is “Stories From the Rift”

[@thatdonkey7215]

Born for One Thing is so good

[@peterphooko1441]

Gojira is such an awesome band

[@pepijn2223]

[@Dr.HannibalLecterVIII]

Tingles: The Ephemeral Rift Story

[@sturmifan]

[@Willyboil]

You are a very real person. =)

[@cnicoj]

I prefer cycling over jogging but each to their own Mr. Rift !

[@Houndlock643]

Step 1: Find Captain Astro. Step 2: Pluck his short stature from his universe and take him to your own. Step 3: Make an hour long ASMR video with the inanimate Captain Astro. Step 4: Go to sleep Step 5: You wake up Step 6: Post the ASMR video Step 7 (Optional): Release Captain Astro back into the wilderness.

[@SocioMinty]

This needs a content/trigger warning. I enjoyed listening to it, you are a spoken word artist and a favorite relaxation channel and asmr artist. Thank you for uploading, but do PLEASE put warnings on this type of topic.

[@HamterStudios-]

Day 1 of asking ER to make a breaking bad asmr video

[@RadioActiV_]

Ephemral’s Rifts should be the title

[@Tattiestewe1340]

wow, lucky me, i was just watching your videos

[@OGSinisterPotato]

That beard is absolutely magnificent.

[@Deidara81586]

Uncle Rift have you ever watched Peaky Blinders and could you make a roleplay in the future?

[@ulcbroadcasting]

[@TheSleepy1326]

[@coopyhendo15]

[@BigRussianCatWithFloppyEars]

Floppa goes Flip Flop

[@lisafanucchi5939]

I’m 52… what are you trying to imply?! 🤣🤣🤣

[@deepfrieddeals]

My dad did the same thing. Playboys or other adult material on the coffee table in the living room.

[@BoostedVr5]

Wtfffff thx for sharing 😂

[@commenterguy9752]

You should do an asmr playthrough of pizza tower

[@sinzo7108]

[@bunbun5506]

day 1 of asking ER to make a video where he tells inanimate objects just how truly he appreciates them (inspired by @Spec)

[@sohampatel3525]

[@cowboyenthusiast2362]

Sure anyone can do ASMR but to be as successful as you or any other prominent ASMRtist it takes a specific set of skills and understanding

[@Nore67842]

how about calling it “Tales from the Rift”

[@nadiasvens]

rhift I anayse too. but more about how did trees grow so close together they kinda make just one weard tree. and then my mind makes up some kind of Story where the trees decide tonstay together and protect each other. back to back style. doomed for all eterinty to stay put in the deep forest, coniously thought scared. always on the watch out

[@wsio1000]

👍
