Top 3 stories that sound fake but are 100% real (Part 3) MrBallen Reaction

[@prometheusfallen]

You know what I think is rad? Even in Rondo's absence, Frank doesn't recenter the camera on himself or change the video arrangement of the videos at all. He's still leaving that space open for his pal. What a dope gesture, my man! I don't think there's any way that's accidental.

[@baaronr]

​@@baaronr he had an apartment fire. Physically, I hear he's fine, but apparently, he lost everything.

These Mr Ballen reactions are perfect! 👍

[@lunardruidcyprian6572]

I'm an identical twin. Though raised together, the treatment we received from our parents, particularly our father, were quite different, and the various timeline of certain "choices" we have made differ. We have both served in the US Army, both gotten culinary degrees and worked as chef's, both live abroad, both are poets and authors. Among other things. We however, are not close and have not been since about age 14. Including nearly 17 years of absolutely no contact.

Thats cool

[@MrVvulf]

You must have seen the story from Colombia (South America) of the 2 sets of identical twins that had an switching mishap at the hospital. The two families both raised 2 boys they assumed were fraternal twins. It wasn't until they were all young adults that someone in Bogota noticed that a man she met looked EXACTLY like another man she knew. Of course, the weirdness of finding a "lost" identical twin isn't the end, because once the two who looked exactly alike met they eventually discovered that their "brothers" who looked totally different from either of them, looked exactly like their own "brother". Netflix made a documentary about it, but I remember the story from a BBC article in 2016.

[@lunardruidcyprian6572]

@@MrVvulf I was not, but thank you for sharing. I'll have to check out the documentary. Interesting science. My kids and my twin's daughter are cousins and genetically half-siblings. There are cases of identical twin women who married identical male twins and their kids are cousins and genetically siblings. lol

Nice! Personally prefer these weird but true stories over the fantastical but highly questionable stories. It'll be great to have Rondo back with you for these too. Your chemistry is unmatched. Cheers

The last thing I could ever forget would be the parachute.

[@MrVvulf]

As a former jumpmaster who inspected 50+ jumpers before every operation, this was unfathomable to me. Even the "just grabbing a chute" doesn't make sense to me because parachutes have straps that go under your legs. They aren't like backpacks >> you need those straps and "saddle" under your butt to support your weight. Skydivers/parachutists don't hang by their armpits, they "sit" in the saddle and there are straps under legs, across your chest, and even (often diagonally) across your back.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

yep. he got too careless. we should ALWAYS be nervous and anxious before doing something that could take our life.

[@motorcycleboy9000]

"Wait, my wallet! Up, parachute!" "Oh no, my keys! Up again, parachute!"

[@JKM395]

That last one man. The sad truth is that none of us will ever know how many experiments we’ve been a part of without our knowledge. Crazy.

[@MrVvulf]

I can't believe Mr Ballen didn't disclose one of the MOST messed up facts about the twins story - At LEAST 10 SETS OF TWINS and/or TRIPLETS were intentionally separated by Louise Wise Agency and the psychologists. Mr. Ballen only mentioned the triplet brothers and the other twin sisters.

[@JKM395]

@ Good grief. Can’t say that I’m shocked.

[@CarlDalach-px4cj]

You and Mr. Ballen are a great combo. Kudos

[@izazoz9259]

Mr Ballen tells some of the best stories

[@leeannmcdermott8313]

[@scorpiouk5914]

This reminds me of another true story of a baby boy whose circumcision was botched. Meaning they accidentally removed most of his pee pee. And the parents were talked into raising him as a girl. With disastrous consequences.

[@cinemacodey]

With the whole nature vs nurture argument I always thought it couldn’t possibly be solely one or the other it’s a mixture of the two. If it was solely one then it would be obvious what the answer would be. I think nurture has a lot to do with it. Almost all psycho serial killers had abusive horrible childhoods. Pedos were often molested themselves when they were kids and so on but sometimes a person is just crazy out of nowhere.

[@jesseheise4457]

That last story was like a mission out of fallout. Vault tech at it again with its experiments.

[@noelramirez1551]

I remember going with my cousin on one of her business trips in NYC because she hated flying alone. We would always go to this Starbucks by the hotel, and one year I couldn't go, and she went alone, and I got a text from her saying, Hey, are you in NY? and I was like, No, and then she sent me a picture of a guy that looked just like me at the same Starbucks we would go to. She was too freaked out to go talk to him, but, yeah, the guy looked just like me. It was weird.

[@dragonflydreamer13]

The snipers were shooting people pumping gas, walking to their car in a parking lot, etc.. I remember we were all hyper vigilant in the DMV every time we were outside but eventually we had to get gas and hope he was caught.

Frank, you are so dramatic. I am falling out while you held your hand on your chest on that parachute segment. You need to be doing stage drama, lol 😆 😂

"Is that a real parachute or a damned Sears parachute? "

[@Lamedvavnik]

There’s another true story about twins, I don’t know if mr ballen has covered it but it’s more unbelievable than this one. Both of them ending up having the same name, the same job, they married a woman of the exact same name (first and surname), both had a dog of the same name and both had a son of the same name. I think they even drove the same car. Just look up the Jim twins.

[@CarlosGuerreroguitarvegas]

[@Comrade.Question]

I'd bet that twin study was so poorly run you couldn't draw a single good conclusion from it.

[@jessejorgensen3931]

Dude had to be trying to commit suicide. A nap sack just goes over your shoulders but a parachute connects in multiple places at least I assume? Something is fishy about that story.

[@leafseaburg198]

I used to talk sh!t to the DC Sniper at the Co Op in Bellingham because he was so rude to people behind the counter saying “oh you’re totally welcome “ in Cartman voice when he wouldn’t ever say thank you. Pretty lucky I guess.

[@BjörnHauksson]

Ballen really shines in his 'strange' category (i.e. the triplet story). The dark gory shit or more hit and miss imo.

[@bryanbenn4018]

I would love for you to hear the Stray Cat King story.

[@Psichotica7]

Me too. I think Ballen might have changed the title though. So hard to keep track...
