Before I retired, I had a 1 hour commute (each way). I *loved* listening to audiobooks. Some audiobook readers are true artists and really enhance the listening experience. 👍❤️

[@brendagrimm2964]

I listen to audiobooks constantly. It started when we would use them to kill time traveling from western Montana to Pennsylvania and back. Then it became a good way to fall asleep at night. And something to keep my mind occupied while my hands were busy cleaning house. Now I am too tired to do much of anything most of the time, so I lie there and listen to someone read me a story.

[@kibblenbits]

I use to have a 1 1/2 hour commute (each way) and listened to them too. Use to pick up books on cassettes from garage sales and library's, who use to sell their old ones, then moved on to CDs and finally to downloads. I'm retired now, but whenever I drive a long way, I still listen to audiobooks and continue to look for CDs at garage sales. You're right, some of the readers are extremely good.

[@bethnolastname]

It was fun to see you play!! You look more relaxed. I'm very glad to see that! Keep ET. You are really funny with him. Put him in a trunk so one day you can play with grandchildren!

Really Love seeing you get Sponsorships. I Subbed somewhere around 80,000 and it's amazing to see how much the channel has grown. Even with that Watching the E.T bit proves you haven't changed at All, your still just as quirky as the first video I watched. Lol. You deserve the recognition and money for all of your hardwork.

[@tabbycat4606]

I had that Barbie camping set. I loved it 🥰 my sister had the camper. We used to drive our cat around in it 💕

[@SherryAustinMcginley]

I honestly laughed out loud at you playing with E. T. 😁

[@emmitstewart1921]

I once read a book about a toy company, where one of the characters said toys are not really designed for children. Children don't buy toys. Their parents do and a toy that looks like fun to the parents will sell twice as much as a toy that fascinates children. I wonder if Stephen, Jason, or Abigail would have got as much fun out of that toy as you do.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

Alex you look so dapper in that red buffalo check shirt! I enjoyed this haul. I think Melissa will love that necklace. Thanks!

My dream has always been to find one of them Barbie Country campers new in box. When I was 11, ( now 61) that was my Christmas wish to get that camper, but mom said that Santa ran out of them. Well on Christmas morning to my surprise I unwrapped one and was so thrilled I cried. I see some online but they are usually all beat up or have broken pieces. I am like you Alex, just a kid in an adult body, bit older of course, lol.

[@p.k.carlson6646]

Alex, when you are giggling with that boxing ET, you are just a kid again- pure joy- I think that’s what attracts some collectors to vintage toys - being transported back to moments of innocence and joy in childhood. AND...you crack me up! 😂

[@sandranokes7443]

Even I want the E T! How cute! I bet it sells in minutes. I have an old 78 record of Bing Crosby that my step-mom bought. They sold her the wrong record. Was she surprised when she put it on the record player and out comes Bing Crosby singing and cussing up a storm! There was nothing written on the label. It's just empty. Years ago, my oldest brother picked it up like you are holding that record and a piece broke right off the side. I've still got it though. My Dad was a Engineer on the Northern Pacific Railroad. He always wore overalls and hats to work. He would put his dinner in a jar and heat it on the engine while going down the track. He retired after 37 years. He loved it. It was his dream job.

My mom would scope out the right size camping spot for our family as well as for me to set up camp for my Barbie camper and favorite toys! The camper came with some neat accessories including a plastic camp fire.

One of my favorite memories is walking downtown to the Rexall Drug Store and buying some comic books to take home, Archie and Veronica and all were favorites, wish I would have saved some! Loved this video.

Thanks for the awesome episode Alex, always a pleasure to watch.

Holy cow, Quick draw Mcgraw and Bubba Louis. Can't believe I'm old enough to remember that. Think I had that same set.

[@nancymontgomery8897]

Quick Draw's sidekick was Baba Louie. His name was a take-off of the popular Hispanic "Babaloo" music of the day. Desi Arnaz had a big hit with it.

You had so much FUN!! Good to hear you laugh. LOVE audio books! Although we were not allowed to read comic books, as a 1950s kid; we had a neighbor who had loads of early Archie and other comic books. They allowed the neighborhood kids to dig into their boxes of old comic books and sit inside their gazebo and spend the whole afternoon reading those books!

I spotted the Mills Bros, too! “Glow-worm” and “Across the Alley From the Alamo” and “You Always Hurt the One You Love” were favorites of mine. Not a fan of “Paper Doll”, though. Standing on the Corner was one my dad liked to sing when I was really small. I loved old records!

The Audible sponsorship was a surprise. I've got a few audiobooks on there that I recorded but my voice acting career fizzled out. I think there was a big move to AI? As for the membership angle. I was able to choose 2 books to keep permanently during the trial. It makes sense to choose a 50 hour long book. I chose The Stand and Shogun.

My gosh I seriously cracked up watching you play with E T.

[@craigbrowning9448]

I believe the motor on a photograph contacting the edge of the turntable is called a rim drive and the direct drive is when the motor is directly coupled to the spindle. The old Rec-O-Kut units rough and using radio stations and were criticized for having a bit of "Rumble" due to the rim drive mechanism.
