MUGGED IN BRAZIL | 10 True Scary Subscriber Stories| 094

[@thegodofpez]

Joel does it better than anybody, seriously.

[@thegodofpez]

@Jonathan Steelflex Well he sells way better merch than that, my fiancée owns a LetsRead hoodie. (:

[@heavensent7050]

Amen to that!

[@Chris-zj2cd]

being scared puts the ads at the beginning so you can skip them and sleep through the rest of the stories. i guarantee you this is not the best channel 🤣

[@thegodofpez]

@@Chris-zj2cd I’m a fan of Being Scared, as well and I’m aware of the ad trick. I just think no other narrator compares to Joel. He’s fluid, soothing and his live streams are always pure entertainment. To each their own, that’s just my opinion.

[@mr.tuatalks4936]

LetsRead and Mr. Ballen. Class of their own. Far and away the top of food chain for telling a story, on any platform.. TheGodofPez, you ever check out Mr. Ballen's channel?

[@ohnocamie]

Dude goes into a country he's never been before, goes to a place that is known for not being safe with a bag of balls, surprised when it goes wrong lmao. Good to know it didn't ruin his trip, at least.

[@Shankmeyster]

I was surprised he didn't end up getting held for ransom.

[@russ109]

Moral of story. Don’t play with your balls in shady neighborhoods

[@bep4lyfe]

And as for someone who claims he absolutely loves Brazil you think he’d know how dangerous it can be.

[@WestonNey]

I think it’s safe to say he had massive balls to do that

[@lexihart5416]

RIGHT

[@BlazeCarlton]

The first story screams "Tell me you're American without telling me you're American." They completely willingly put themselves in that situation like what were they expecting?!?!

[@marievaleur7877]

Travel tip from a local Brazilian/American : Learn as much as you can about a foreign country before you go there and when you get there, if you feel adventurous, ask a local if it's a good idea. Lots of videos and social media accounts to help you. Brasil is beautiful and dangerous but a little common sense would have gone a long way in avoiding all that trouble. Favelas are not tourist attractions and wandering into one can get you killed. He was naive and lucky! It made me happy to know he was able to see beyond that traumatic experience and enjoy his visit! Stay safe y'all!!

[@ren4898]

From the horror stories I would never go to Brazil 😂 To scary

[@Phoenix250]

Ikr?!! 😆

[@FloridaMan0561]

Have you heard of DEADBUG? He does true crime stories and a lot of his intros have a VHS vibe with the horizontal lines going through the screen and the auto correct alerts on the screen. I recommend his channel if you enjoy true crime.

[@Phoenix250]

@@FloridaMan0561 totally unrelated but his style reminds me of The Disturbing Truth. Thx for the suggestion, too. 😊

[@yorozuyanick]

The guy saying how “unlucky” he was made me laugh, I don’t think he really grasped the situation. He was incredibly LUCKY that he was only mugged by some kids, rather than being kidnapped and taken for ransom or straight up murdered. Not only that, it wasn’t “just being unlucky” that got him in that situation - the whole thing was entirely avoidable if he’d had a little bit of common sense. Happy it wasn’t worse, and that he was able to enjoy his trip regardless of that traumatic experience, but some of the things he said really rubbed me the wrong way.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

Yea unlucky is trying to be as safe as possible and still getting mugged but like u said he wasn’t unlucky he basically put himself in the worst position possible

[@remingtonsmic2333]

About the first story: I'm from Brazil. Me and my husband (that is from Europe) went to Brazil a few months ago to visit. Brazil situation now is not the best at all. Poverty is growing huge and people are just desperate to get money even if it means stealing (which is not right, i agree). Before we went, I gave him "the talk". Brazil is a beautiful country but being raised there made me not be that "silly". Genuinely, I think the guy just could use a bit more information. With my husband I told him: do not bring too much stuff out, NEVER show your phone when on the streets, lets avoid certain areas and etc. On ubers as well, he never spoke one word which was quite awkward all the time so we just decided to get normal Taxis because it's just way safer and usually the same price. Myself, being out of Brazil for 3 years, got shocked when I came back to see how dangerous and fucked up the country became. My advice for whoevers is visiting Brazil is just be careful and make sure to read a LOT and ask on brazilian communities around internet about how to be safe and etc. I'm glad that he was ok at the end, but be careful next time. It wasn't your fault anyways. This could happen anywhere, trust me.

Sometimes I listen to these stories and get frustrated. A lot of privileged people don't prepare their kids for the real world AT ALL. I've never lived in a ghetto, but I'm black and from the South. My parents sat me down multiple times and made sure I had sense. They didn't sugarcoat anything, and it didn't scare me. I knew that if I wanted to keep my body and life intact, I needed to have sense. The story about the girls getting into the vehicle with the guys is frustrating too. That's why I don't make friends with certain kinds of people, especially women who are trying to get laid with strangers (Alice) (and I say "women" because my guy friends trying to get laid aren't gonna take me along on such a endeavor). In these stories, people think strangers are creepy but wave at them; they talk and play polite with creeps; they isolate themselves when they sense they're in danger; they "didn't think much of" anything; they go places with obvious predators; and so on. Like they have a subconscious death wish or something; or maybe their lives are too safe, so they want to experience some "excitement." Well, when you have to worry about even the cops preying on you, you learn to question everything and keep your head on a swivel. Some people don't know just how vulnerable they are. I now live in one of the safest countries in the world, and I don't take anything for granted even now. You can always tell either the privileged or the dumb based on how they act in these stories. That's why I'm at the point of actually clapping when people are smart in these stories, because it feels like that so much rarer.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

@@LadyAstarionAncuninit really bothers me how rare it is that people do something smart in these stories

[@K414nn4]

I’m brazilian and I was mugged while I still lived there! 😣😫😖😩 Now I’m afraid to go back but it is a beautiful country tho! 🇧🇷

[@aarifal-qamash6253]

Brazil is also one of my to destinations, sunny beaches, sightseeing, hot guys. I really hope to go one day

[@_TheRockyGamer_]

That story about the pregnant woman is so heartbreaking. People are so evil.

[@SillyPudding]

I absolutely love your voice, Joel, and how naturally you narrate. There are a lot of good narrators on here, but you are my number one go to, every single time. Like many folk on here, sleep isn't easy, so to have a brand new upload is quite a comfort, even if it takes me four times to hear it to the end... And whilst I really enjoy the contributors' experiences, I love it when you relate real life, factual accounts of cases many of us might not ever have heard of before. So thank you, Joel 💗

[@Ariplaygames]

The guy who went to Brazil must have been a really sheltered kid and didnt know much about Brazil except for movies. I dont understand how you can be so obssesed with the country and not know that fabellas are extremely dangerous. Thats like the first or second thing I learned from Brazil.

[@RobVespa]

It sounds like the person has no common sense. They're lucky to be alive. This is true anywhere - even you're own neighborhood. It shouldn't be, but it is. Humans. That typed, do you really think this story is true? It lost me at the beginning with "and then I hitched to the airport" and consistently went downhill from there. Even the parents sending their child to a foreign country (one known to be unsafe, at that) on their own as a graduation present seems suspect. I don't believe it. One thing after another. If the story is true, I'd be surprised.

[@Ariplaygames]

@@RobVespa yeah, now that you mention it, it sounds more and more suspicious of being fake the more you think about it. Its kinda sad people are fabricating this stories tho, like why? So the internet has Pitty for you?

[@RobVespa]

@@Ariplaygames - I don't know. Most of the stories here and on comparable channels come from Reddit groups. I think people submit content because they want to be part of the group, enjoy writing or want attention. Some of these groups are just for stories - They can be fiction. That's my issue. Videos like this put a blanket "true" on the stories, even if they aren't from a forum for which the stories are supposed to be true (which usually have no verification). Just call them stories.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Because they're privileged enough not to live in the real world. Privilege is probably nice, but it doesn't prepare you for the real world. That's why I roll my eyes when people say stuff like, "Most people are good." No, you just don't know hardship or struggle and are privileged enough to have people defer to you. 🤨🙄

I’m from Brazil and never will I ever go into a favela! Like he said, there will always be dangerous places in every country, even in the USA, and in Brazil, favelas are definitely not a place to be in! Not even brazilians go into favelas, only the ones that already live there are the ones that come and goes into favelas. Despite that, Brazil also has its beautiful places and welcoming people.

i hate when people say something they shouldve done and then say “but” and add something completely irrelevant, of course i feel bad for the girl in the 3rd story, and i believe all women, but honestly she had absolutely no reason not to tell the police anonymously about them. they didn’t hurt her or rape her so it’s not like she has sexual assault shame or anxiety, she said something like “i feel like if i would’ve told the police this wouldn’t have happened, BUT that was the most terrifying moment of my life” like ??? yeah that’s why you should’ve called and talked to the police about it and that girlfriend that was killed actually probably could’ve had a chance

It's most likely not a true story, so there's that.

[@RobVespa]

@@emilycress2895 - I understand. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt (on a case by case basis), too... although this lean has been stressed over time. Associated tangent: I believe all stats to be inaccurate, but in terms of these occurrences, I believe them further off. The same umbrella covering the behavior of a percentage of men subsequent to values instilled (directly or indirectly) via society, also covers that same group from reporting or discussing issues they've experienced. It's sad. All of it. I wish people behaved better. I wish society was better. Globally. Boiled down, it could be as simple as a Beatles song, common sense and a lack of greed.
