Hmmm this sponsoreship doesen‘t feel very roomie-ish, I‘m surbrised you would state an ad like that😅

[@MelissaRogers_natesLilgirl5]

Hey Joel, I remember a while back you mentioned the possibility of doing KZbin membership for your channel. Several of the channels I am subscribed to have a membership section…I’ve been thinking to myself: “I’m only going to be a ‘member’ to one channel…and that’s going be the RoomieOfficial channel (if he does it).”

[@Naomiskyyy]

@@MelissaRogers_natesLilgirl5 Yes 💯

[@JaiLeeroy]

Editors did an amazing job bringing these stories to life.

[@RoomieOfficial]

Definitely!

[@MelissaRogers_natesLilgirl5]

Absolutely!! Major kudos to Jiva and DK for editing, and of course to Rikard for making the thumbnail!! 😁😁🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

[@katelynandrews5611]

I really like this type of content, it's very chill and laid back. Personally I feel it would serve as a nice filler or occasional buffer between your current content, but I wouldn't want it to be the primary type of content on your channel. It's great to see you experimenting and trying different things. I hope you're enjoying yourself through this process. :]

[@RoomieOfficial]

Thanks for your thoughts!! I like the idea of storytelling whether it's reddit or otherwise (scripted by me, sent in by you guys, some other source etc) leading into a song or having little song parts in it. We did it a lot in the past and it's fun, and adds more depth than just focusing on technical music stuff. I've been very happy with the videos I've been putting out recently, but it's clear to see that at least for my channel, people prefer longer videos so I'm trying fun formats around that.

[@loettu]

@@RoomieOfficial I like how you formulated that, because I really like your storytelling but I‘m less of a fan of the Reddit commentary. It can be entertaining but if one chooses cases with people that are so obviously idiots I feel like its neither interesting nor funny to talk about it but rather frudstraiting (I feel this with the majority of the AITA videos of Daniel Thrasher) But yor storytelling really adds to this, so the more roomie and the less idiots the better I feel;-)

[@Penmacie]

This was fun but you topped it off with a song! Like icing on tasty cake! Sing more! I love your voice.

[@MelissaRogers_natesLilgirl5]

@@RoomieOfficial Well, you do have the second channel @RoomieTalks and you (did) have other channels. If your main channel prefers one certain format, maybe some of your experimental content can be posted to your other channel(s)?!

[@anoukbus1253]

​@@RoomieOfficialI really like this video and how you create the songs out of the story, but I have to say it reminds me a lot of what Daniel Thrasher make s on his second channel. Keep that in mind please ❤

[@TheDruidJenn]

One Sided single when???? Loved it!!

[@happymum6621]

It's different and I like it. Cool editing, high energy. ☺️

[@happymum6621]

And the song at the end was amazing👏👏

[@lianneconroy5289]

Enjoy watching Joel read the stories and all the horrified reactions

[@ItisJasmine27]

Yess lol

[@FrankGrimes311]

I really liked the interactions with chat in the video. Really grounded the content instead of just you preaching opinions at ppl like other creators do. And the song was 🔥

[@AlexBen-v7y]

Woah. We are so back!!!! Reminds me of those 2018-2020 videos, you used to make, Joel. Appreciated.

[@RoomieOfficial]

Glad you like!

[@ceilinh6004]

The one-sided open relationship song is a bop. 🎵

[@m453-aperson]

BRO THIS SONG IS FIRE MAKE A FULL VERSION!! I DEMAND IT Edit: WE DEMAND IT

[@valeriesinn9411]

yesssssss

[@saranissen6210]

Love a full version of the song. Great vid btw.

[@CindytheRedScout]

9:32 - That's called "gaslighting", and is a very common manipulation tactic in emotionally abusive individuals.

[@DrakeBoehm]

That's the first thing I thought of. If you've been around people who actually care for you, it's really easy to see when people are gaslighting and manipulating you

[@rainbowzgrqce]

10:05 I had seen this post before the stream, but the ‘because you are full of estrogen and fertility’ makes me die laughing every time 😂😂 So ridiculous

[@loonylovesgood]

It’s soooo fake.

[@amitavrashmi17]

Honestly, the song at the end can really work as a base for a full song that would sound incredible, I would add it to my Playlist

[@De115-f5n]

As a woman (only speaking for myself), an open relationship isn't a relationship at all for me; I would never consider being in one and couldn't be with someone who has multiple partners. Emotional intimacy/exclusivity and trust are major needs in a relationship.

[@avendurree]

The guy who has a girlfriend who wants to open the relationship for herself, should stay away from people like her. She's obviously very manipulative and crazy and she will ruin his life, if he stays with her. I've seen almost exact situation play out IRL over the years with someone I know and its actually sad to see a person in such a state where she can manipulate him however she wants, literally powerless to help him, because he "loves her", thinks he doesnt need help or to get away from her.

[@UseAndGo]

This one those cases that I had to listen,then read then reread and finally translate it.. just because I didnt want my brain to play tricks on me .. and then go WTF? Im old enough to say I have seen alot things, but these kinda things still make me wonder where the hell is this "society" going.. phew

[@Cookie0927]

5:25 It could be over dramatic but these questions could also be related to a trafficking ring. When my sister first moved to Tennessee with her bf, she was approached by a stranger late at night after work asking the same questions. She stopped talking to him after this and she was very worried that she would've been kidnapped if she kept talking to him. Very weird.

[@RoomieOfficial]

didn't even think of that!

[@coolnamegoeshere]

​@@RoomieOfficialYa, I've heard of that, and then they mark ur car like a zip ty on the passenger side, suscary! 🤐👖

[@TheRealAA89]

roomie is bringing back the old style of content on youtube! i love it! like everything doesnt have to be high production! this is perfect.

[@rainbowzgrqce]

Even if 90% of Reddit stories are fake, at least we get quality videos like this out of em💪

[@loonylovesgood]

Agreed.

[@wojciechsawicki4733]

you seriously underestimate people's stupidity, the fake ones are just the sex stories

[@loonylovesgood]

@@wojciechsawicki4733Reddit is mostly teenagers writing creative stories and/or using ChatGPT for clout and attention. We need to be critical of what we read online. Don’t take everything at face value.

[@Cre8tive_Always]

Please make that a full song, I got chills.

[@fyrefli4109]

Joel for official Hallmark/Lifetime Movies songwriter type person! (I have no idea why, but I was in stitches at 15:10, when he just popped up in the middle of the ocean, like some melodically- pleasing Kraken!)

[@v.8511]

I think this type of content fits you well. One thing I really like is how you're giving your honest opinion and not a sugar coated version you think the viewers will like. I watched too many creators just agree with what people were already saying in the comments of reddit. It's also refreshing to see you actually portray emotions instead of sitting on a couch gossiping. I think I’d really enjoy longer videos from you reviewing reddit stories.

[@jensenraylight8011]

but, people can be brutal and offended for no reason sometimes, some creators even get 5-10 serious death threat every month, i can understand if some creators suddenly tone down their reaction, or giving a dishonest Opinion, because it's no longer an entertainment, it become a life and death situation. but yes, watching some Roomie content definitely put smile on my face again, i honestly forgot about how exciting a youtube video can be

[@v.8511]

@@jensenraylight8011 I think at that point you need to involve the police. Simply doing what they want will not solve the issue. Or quit if you're scared, which I'm not saying out of spite. Safety is important and if you don't feel safe, you should make it a priority. I just don't think it's the right choice to listen to their demands. If they keep winning, they'll keep doing it. And before we know it, social media is just a puppet show. Which is why I'd rather encourage people who dare to be who they are and dare to speak their feelings.

[@stinaxer4452]

Love the song. I was once in a so-called open relationship. I was with him for a year of his hooking up with various others, while I didn't. After a year, I had a fling with someone while traveling & my guy dumped me immediately, sending me this message: "I made the rules, but I can't live by them. Goodbye forever." So your song hit home.

[@lauraharkin24]

6:17 it's meeee! Haha. Love this type of video. More impromptu Twitch streams please 🕺🏼

Love this song bro !!! It's interesting to see you in another type of content, well done 👏

Pog, Roomie Reddit Time. Can't wait to hear what the stories will have in store for us. Tack for the reddit time, Mate 🐺 🐾

[@jenniferlow166]

Still waiting for the full length version of Little Booty 😂

[@mysteryshrimp]

Being as charitable as possible to the lottery kid . . . If he signs the ticket, he is liable for all income tax on the lottery payments. Where I live, that's about 112k. In California, that's 150k. He would get 180k per year, so still a net positive, but i would want to set terms even on a gift like this. But I'm not expecting a 19 year old to immediately consider tax brackets.

[@RoomieOfficial]

that's an interesting point! Feels like it should have been mentioned in the post if it was a consideration

[@linnoff]

Yeah, I just ran it through a quick tax calculator for where I live, and he'd have 220k left after taxes, or only 37k after giving half to dad. This doesn't even account for how "gifts" are taxed, which is to say the person giving the gift usually pays the taxes for it (according to the IRS website) which means the kid would have to pay another 62k in taxes for the "gift". The solution for them would have been to see an accountant who could figure out the most optimal way for them to split it so they each receive an equal share. (I went deeper on this than I planned)

[@Sabi-qe6wp]

This reminds me of some of the content you used to do. Making small silly songs from comments, some Reddit stuff just experimenting with different formats. For me it’s nostalgic with a breath of fresh air in the best possible way. 😊 The most important to me is that you enjoy your content. I loved loved the vid with James and Dev too. ❤

[@gavingreeno1047]

I love the song at the end it actually sounds legitimate and id personally like to see a full version of it. Or potentially make it something of my own just tweaking it some and adding a little onto it. I like your idea of making songs on circumstances. Keep on ding what youre doing, and i look forward to your next one

[@ninas8210]

as if "because you are full of estrogen and fertility" was supposed to be a valid explanation lmfao

You guys should do another "song making" video where you have to create melodies for wikipedia articles (in which you need to use as lyrics, written as is). I think that'd be fun.

I loved those videos where Joel, Jonas & August would do those song making competitions, it’s a shame they stopped doing them.

on the 2nd one may i mention that when the parents had the daughter, the mom was 16 and the dad was 24.....

[@halfmonster9013]

Such a nice format! As somebody who likes the whole "reddit stories" type of content, I find the songwriting on top of it to be a phenomenal idea 👀

[@veracrow842]

I like this concept. But I really enjoyed you autotuning different instrument into that monstrosity of a song. More of that please! also collaberations is cool

[@JaiLeeroy]

I would love it if you turned the final song on these types of videos into a 'short' on KZbin. Just some reframeing to fit vertical.

[@poodlep.9719]

Nice video. I'm usually not a big fan of reddit reactions especially AITA stuff since those threads always feel like they have the same canned responses in the comment, but you made this very enjoyable. Great personality. I'll keep an eye out for more "personality content" from you.

[@mocapcow2933]

I like to tell people, that jokes and pranks are only funny if all participants (willing or otherwise) are laughing. If someone is not laughing because they are offended...than it was not a joke or a prank. The only exception to this is is the joke is truly a harmless one and the other person just did not find it funny, at which point, you just do not tell the joke to that person ever again.

There is nothing wrong in having an open relationship with your girlfriend. Mine was produced as limited edition, only 200 copies or so, I'm not stupid to think she is only mine. Also, it was an Amazon Warehouse sale.
