I Could Hear You in the Next Room [ASMR]

You were awake. I thought I could talk you to sleep via the somnolent power of philosophy and politics.

So my dad's a philosophy professor and would tell me thought experiments as a kid to get me to fall asleep but when I got a little older, he started getting night classes and wouldn't be around as much in the evenings. But if I was awake when he got home he'd always come in to check on me, and would just talk until I fell asleep. Granted, it wasn't this exact script, but the scenario is just similar enough to give me goosebumps. Two thumbs up

[@Calpsotoma]

That's kinda beautiful.

[@Average_Internet_DMC_420]

i wish my dad actually cared

[@mawprints]

this is a three year old video but i've grown up incredibly fatherless and i've come back to this video more times than i can count. it's a very big source of comfort for me and i've found myself crying on more than one occasion. it helps to remedy a void that i've been grappling with that is very very hard to come to terms with and forgive. i'm sorry if this is overstepping a bound or makes you uncomfortable but this is incredibly special content and i haven't found anything like it on the internet thus far

[@mawprints]

also i earnestly request another video like this maybe? if you did another Dad Chat someday in the future i think i would cry happy tears

[@krigg]

One of the most underappreciated creators of this community. You are a gentleman and a scholar!

[@beautifulhorsepictures]

> 3 mins into the video > already crying thinking of my dad > after sob session i become tired > falls asleep well played phoenician sailor, brb gonna tell my dad i love him real quick

[@BlazedNDazed]

When he leaned closer I swear my heart jumped into my throat 😂

[@KeiraKarton]

TIMBER BEAST Omg xD same :D lolol

[@ashwashere708]

This made me cry, mainly because my dad never knew how to be a dad and now that I'm 14 he really doesn't know what to do, and I wish he was around more even though I live with him and he basically fucked with my brain and made me feel like shit since I started living with him.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

I’m sorry to hear that. You’re at a very difficult age. I had a similar situation, right at that age, too. It got better ... although it wasn’t easy. I hope he becomes a better father for you.

Your videos are phenomenal and I really vibe with the concepts you talk about.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

I'm floored. When I'm uploading a video I frequently temper my insecurities by thinking, "It's okay, we can't all be Ardra." Hearing that you like anything I've done is inspiration enough to last me the year. Thank you, Ardra.

[@ardraneala]

Pfff What, you don't know? Oh dear, well let me fill you in on a secret.. Your videos are the best out there... But that's just between you and me ;)

[@kiwiholmes3587]

I'm a new subscriber to both your channels. Just thought since you were both here...

Ahhh and so it began...

[@rebeccadeitch8613]

*leaves us hanging with a massively intricate train of thought that questions the purpose of life with no solution or conclusion* thx dad

[@chrisnam1603]

respect for this : 'Apologies to Chomsky, Foucault, Bakunin, et al. for mangling their work.'. thanks SO much for your amazing creations

[@joellevanfleet5771]

My dad passed away just before Christmas this year. He was an awful, spiteful, mean spirited man who pretend his 4 children didn't exist. I wish I could've had a dad that would talk to me like this, just once even.

[@BlueShadow1991]

For some reason, the beginning of this video felt like a video will to me -- you were only missing the "if you're watching this, I've passed away" and leaving behind things for your children to inherit. Anyway, great seeing that handsome mug of yours and great to have you back, Sailor! Always relaxing!

[@PhoenicianSailor]

Christian Bendana Hi Christian, it's interesting you picked up on that. It's definitely a melancholy video as I've moved away from my family for work reasons and am feeling their absence pretty intensely. Hope you are well!

[@BlueShadow1991]

Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit gloomy about things. Stay positive! We (your audience) are here for you!

[@hauntedmushroomsasmr7716]

What wife wouldn't want her insanely articulate and intensely handsome husband coming home and giving her an existential crisis at 4 am? Like. I wouldn't mind. *pats bed*

[@SaranaAkuma]

your handsomness is distracting me from falling asleep, how dare you.

[@soltantio]

I keep thinking, come crawl in beside me, you know what would really help me sleep...

[@marinakesawa7470]

I didn't want to say anything to objectify a stranger, but I totally agree with you. Hot, smart and kind. His wife is lucky.

[@mireia3159]

[@DangerousPerson]

this hit too close to home for me

[@olivia9347]

you can tell he's a father 😂

[@taytayy0821]

ugh these types of videos are so stimulating and comforting all at once🙈💕

[@petitgordi]

I could listen to you talk for days.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

petitgordi that sounds unhealthy.

[@Inkwell_Music]

@@PhoenicianSailor hush you, tis our choice.

[@cortsport]

Holy Daddy

[@Rynax-]

Came here to sleep but couldn't.. everything you said hit way too close to home. Been having thoughts like this for years. Just found your channel and now I'm subbed. Awesome work!

[@froufroudeluxe]

Astounding as always. I didn't fall asleep though. Both the content and the speaker are simply too interesting. :)

[@PhoenicianSailor]

foefproductions thank you :) I think ASMR isn't a knack for me, I really need to try and incorporate it more.

[@ElloaWendy]

foefproductions I relate to that ;D

[@robertstan298]

And how are those two different separate from each other? Jeez, is girls/guys are bordering on desperate attention whoring even more than those wankers in the comments on tits-out AssMR channels.

Your videos are fascinating and the quality is just so impeccable!

[@PhoenicianSailor]

Lesley Shuman thank you, Lesley.

[@jerrijobarkerlove3613]

Night after night, I have tried to make it through. You are speaking my favorite language - waxing on philosophical and political issues that affect the common person. Your thoughts, your vocabulary, your perspective... brilliant. I never knew for sure who you were speaking to until I woke up and watched the last portion this morning. I suspected I was a small child, but you never know with people artists like you and ER. I could have ended up being a dog, a hostage, an alien or even a disembodied head - lol. Anyhoo, thank you so very much for your work. It means a great deal to me. I would loooooooove to read the transcript sometime, but I get that you're busy and may have even moved on to your next big idea brain-seeds. But, let me know if you're bored and I'll send you my email. My best to you and yours. Stay golden, Ponyboy.

[@LieutenantBuppo]

I needed to hear all of this. Jeez, I'm grown and a parent myself, but I needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@delaneym.7412]

Wow. You're a better dad than my dad has ever been. Thank you.

[@ambergalvano9224]

Holy moly, it's late, but I'm wide awake bc my body is RESONATING with the ideas in this video and the eloquent way you express them. Snaps to you sir.

[@Wendyneechan]

What the... But how that's possible ? You're so handsome ! And your videos are so great ! Who the hell are you ?

[@2011rubik]

Same :c

[@em_consta3534]

Your acting skills are so incredible! I'm jealous, I keep thinking about how most of this is probably improvised, or just roughly planned out, and that's so cool! And the fact that this is all in one take! That's awesome! Love your videos

[@angelrose1370]

Probably the first video or close to the first I’ve seen on this channel some years ago, and I still come back to it from time to time.

[@Pablo-wq2dg]

Hi Mr.Phoenician I loved this my favorite part was when you said "when I hear you snore I'll just let myself out....yes you do it's very loud" I said to the screen when you went quiet I said "I dont snore" I just laughed. I was adopted and I never had a dad only a mom so seeing videos like this one makes me feel safe and good, I love videos about dad ASMR and big brother ASMR. Thanks for creating videos like this for me and others like me!

[@olgas1862]

so beautiful man, how can I sleep after this video?

[@Annamae1790]

I like how you go into these deep philosophical conversations in your videos :)

[@cranberry0802]

Delightful. The content of your videos is always so thoughtful and interesting, but no matter the topic your voice and tone are so soothing. I'm away from my family for a month for work, and after 14-hour days of noise and overstimulation I really appreciate the quiet ramble.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

cranberry0802 I feel for you. I hope you are reunited soon!

[@klo632]

You always have such interesting videos, plus you're nice to look at so I guess everyone wins

[@claire7045]

Philosphy, Politics and ASMR, my favorite things. I remember watching this right after my father passed away, hoping to find some sort of solace. Nothing could fill that empty part of me, then. But, it was provoking, calming thought. I think that I might've found a little peace, just in your words, just once. I've come back, and realized how much I've healed. Having words eloquent enough that they are easy to recall is something pretty special, man. Remember that.

[@mermaid1742]

As a big fan of genuine, honest conversation, this was probably one of the most calming videos. Didn't fall asleep but very much appreciated listening to it :)

[@tranquiljoe7816]

Very simple and very effective, you seem like someone I’d enjoy having deep, intellectual, scientific talks about life, religion, ethnics, morality, pop culture etc and so much more. Love your work and content as always.

[@joshuataylor5749]

The level of ideas and concepts you stated was strangely inspiring, relaxing and insightful. What a video 👌

[@GoSariGo]

You really should be on TV... You've got the chops , man! You're too good at getting into character .

[@Selfishmachine22]

I'm dead inside why isn't this a real conversation i can have with someone

Man:I think I'm going to call in sick tomorrow Me:*smiles* I don't know why I'm smiling

[@Ali-yy5bc]

John Wick... Is that you? *Plot twist* We are seeing from the dogs point of view

[@IIllytch321nonadinfinitum]

Conversations with people like you tend to fuel my mercurial desire to continue living through the painful absurdity that is life. Some good substance and subtle humor. You have a particularly venerable potency in the smithing of words. I respect this. Good video.

[@PhoenicianSailor]

IIllytch321 do we elude or confront the absurdity? I tend to do both, depending on my mood :)

[@IIllytch321nonadinfinitum]

Phoenician Sailor Well, when I was younger I would have said run from it, as in go live in the woods and hide from society. Now, I feel that escaping and only living for myself is a selfish cop out. Just as I took things (passively and actively, for granted and acutely aware) from society to become where we are now, I feel I should give back to it in a similar fashion, a reciprocal symbiosis of some sort. When Obama infamously said, ". . . if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help," he was on to something; I completely agree with him at the most fundamental level. I find it sad that some people don't. So if one has the mind to come to the realization that life is an absurd cacophony of billions of lives coming together in so many ways, some obvious and direct and some abstract and indirect, and that this awareness, although bitter in its confusing and depressing nature, allows one to continue living and striving for something positive despite this conclusion, I find that person to be that much more bad-ass than if he/she hadn't come to the same conclusion. Those who confront it are numerous, but divided, as they all confront life in different and sometimes polar opposite ways. This Kafkaesque fuel only maintains the plight of the human condition and reminds us that we'll never be in harmony as a human race. Even though this may be the case, those who swim against the current may create a new stream altogether for other fish to follow suit, even though the original stream continues strong. But fuck it, in short, yes, I do both, too, heh. **Saunters back into the safety and darkness of his dank crypt whilst surreptitiously stifling his tremulous hand** WHEREAREMYPILLS!!11/one?1/1slash?1

[@aaronstewart7790]

I thoroughly enjoy listening to your intelligible talks. I always leave feeling like I've learned something and as always, relaxed. Thank you for another great video.

[@Lisallamaa]

"I guess what I'm getting at here is ... I think I'm gonna call in sick to work tomorrow." That was funny. This was so sleepy. Thank you! It is a good ASMR video for when I am lonely in the middle of the night, you know? Keep up the good work!

[@just_your_local_he_they]

I'm super into marvel and see tony stark as a father figure and this video just feels like he is my dad and putting me to sleep by talking bout all this you even kinda sound and look like him too

[@KSMR]

Absolutely love this video. Only seen it the once and already it's one of my favourites. So engaging and yet still relaxing enough to be able to get into an asmr state. Thanks for this.

[@HeySonia]

but why haven't you got more views?! This is amazing!

[@katevann9878]

Absolutely thrilled to see a new video from you. I keep checking! I love your voice and find it so relaxing.

late as heck to this party but as a person descended from slaves, it really made me happy to see someone acknowledge that "wage slavery" is a tERRIBLE phrase pieced together for shock value, but a very real concept. thank you. i will now join the throng of people you seem to have adopted. g'night dad!

[@Domina7ion]

Have you thought about setting up a patrion? I would love to support you ( especially if it means more pioneers lash!)

[@PhoenicianSailor]

Dom Minniti I haven't, I don't have the time to really commit to saying I'll do X a month. And I think if I brought money into the equation I'd start to dread making videos. But I do appreciate your appreciation :)

[@Domina7ion]

I understand. But I think the idea of a patrion is that it only charges users when you produce the content. So in a way it doesn't put pressure on the creator to abide by a deadline. But I can totally see that if you start seeing it as a commitment the joy will go out of it. All those sets and stuff must have been expensive though!

Not trying to be pushy I just really love your collabs (especially of the 2 best ASMRtists). Anyways get back when you can and keep up the great content!
