Hope everyone is having a great night! Been listening to Joel for the better part of 10 years and still remains one of my number one comfort channel. Sending much love from Wisconsin, USA!
Every night my kids demand that I play "Scary stories" that translates to "Play Let's Read Dad". Not a night goes by that we don't listen to you. Thank you for being the voice that helps Dad peacefully go to sleep......after all the kids pass out. You're the best!!!
Me and my wife was just talking about you Joel😂. She said "Joel hasn't put anything out in a few days" and here you are to make the night go a lot easier. 🙏🏻💪🏻
@@SharperTip Ew, why do you want to be a loud and annoying extrovert? And no, I will say what I mean however I want to say it. Nothing sounded pretentious.
That pizza owner sounds like such a good dude. Not that many people have compassion for teens. Hopefully that kid took that compassion and never did anything that stupid again.
YESSS!!! That was EXACTLY what I was thinking! I had to stop & come comment something similar! Ppl look FOREVER ♾️ to find a boss like OP! I'm just sad that this "kid" was like others who basically spit in the very face of kindness & Patience! Ppl like David are the reason we lose good ppl like OP bc Bad Ppl take advantage, use, & abuse them until they suffocate the light right out of them.
I'm my experience, that kind of 'compassion' is just passing the buck to another victim to do something about it. Because now, they've only been emboldened..
@@Amber-yq9eei know what u mean i had my kindness sucked out of me and now im defencive and rude and i cant help it and i don't stop for people in destress from being robbed multiple times so now im an asshole and i only worry about me it really sux its part of my personality now self preservation is paramount
hello everyone! Hope everyone has a great night! 🙏🏼 I love listening to let's read because my daughter Anastasia and me would listen to him without fail, but now I'm solo because my daughter passed away from luekimia recently and we are heartbroken 💔🙏🏼🇲🇽... Have a blessed night everyone 🙏🏼
I have listed to _every_ single one of your videos, Joel! 😀 all 1,200+! Definitely gotta keep the streak going. It took lots of time and some effort to keep track of which I'd watched and what parts. Time well spent ❤
@@tjmulligan3086 Same, there wasn't many when I checked - I was doing a double take then then just cracking up on how hilarious it was that he just slipped that in there and was hoping to find kindred spirits after 😂
@@romelamaleksetian4861 what would they all be scared of though? Why would someone tell you not to move there, like that. ? It's been doing my head in all day and I'm from the UK. ! Come on gee , spill .👍💛👊
This channel is such a staple to me I woke up from a nap the other day with the video still playing and my tired brain was like "who's that?" "Oh it's Mr TH-cam" 😂
In regards to the delivery guy story at about the hour mark, remember that a partial plate number AND the make and model of car can narrow down who it is very fast.
Obviously the whole plate number would be ideal but you’re right if u know the make, model, color and maybe even the year of the car then with just the first 3 or even 2 numbers of the licenses plates would probably narrow it down to a handful at most
There was once a man who held a grudge and pooped on another man's lawn frequently... except he took it to another level. He brought his dog with him every time and did his best to leave the guy two presents! That naked pooper reminded me of it. 😂
thank you joel, i think ive heard 2/3rd of all ur videos the last month or two, and i cant describe how much i love them! Keep making them longer and with rain sounds, thats my ultimate fav for sleeping! the best lets read, love!!
Who else csn only listen to Joel narrating maybe Mr Ballen i can do sometimes but I refer Joel i miss new stories so i go back " unwatched " LR to do my house work, drive or cook dinners simetimes even run errands. Best youtuber to me. 😊
What if the crimes against Elaine and Keith were crimes of passion?Maybe Keith was involved in the assault of the 15 year old girl (would explain the castration), or some other crime, hence why he was so paranoid about moving from town with Elaine, and why he was losing sleep?He could have known someone knew what he did, and that they were after him. It's just a theory and has some loopholes, so if you guys have any ideas I definitely wanna discuss it.
@@enriquexhernandezchances are they were just in a southern town and the author of the story is a northerner, one thing southerners can't stand is a bunch of northerners moving in their town changing everything
Hey Joel! This is gonna help me get some good sleep tonight!!! Thank you so much!!! Joel, you are amazing and I tremendously appreciate you💚💚💚 God bless you, keep you healthy and safe 🙏🙏🙏 Much love ❤️
I grew up about 10 mins from the second story. I never heard about the reverend before! We grew up driving past where it happened as kids & knowing that something very bad happened to a family there. It wasn’t until I became a teenager that I found out the whole story.
Newer subscriber here. About a year in. Gotta say man I love the content. I work third shift and it’s very laid back but these get me thru my shift every single night. I couldn’t be more greatful! Thank you!
Dude you absolutely rock! I’m in some really difficult classes right now and your videos really help me through it thank you so much and keep up the great work!!!!

Hi from NW Wis, Babies!!
Same, his videos have helped me get through high school and college lol
Me too ! Since sixth grade and I’m graduating college this spring !
Also, NO COMMERCIALS!!
🙌🏻🥳🤩
Seriously, thanks for that, Joel! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And I appreciate the story count in the top right corner. You are awesome!! 😎✨
Just noticed that counter! Joel really is the best voice on YT 😎
@@daviswall3319
I agree 💯!! I 🩷 falling asleep 😴 2 his voice & stories! It's my favorite nighttime routine!
@binaryfairy4197 you who else has a real voiceovers?
Download revanced extended if you're on mobile, no ads ever
@@ExtraterrestrialBeing-jc7to The stories are used with permission from the authors too; this is something a lot of these channels don't do.
Your voice is so warm and compelling at the same time.
Joel is the Man! He's been keeping me sane for 2 years now, otherwise I'd be in the freaking psyche ward! 😁

Bad grammar!
@@FlamsteretteI’m sure you had no idea what he was talking about, thanks for clearing that up 🙄
@@t-jacked8166 I have a good hunch that he doesn't know that he should use proper English when commenting online.
@Flamsterette thanks for letting him know, but do it in a polite manner next time to not come off as pretentious next time
@@SharperTip Ew, why do you want to be a loud and annoying extrovert? And no, I will say what I mean however I want to say it. Nothing sounded pretentious.
The voice to soothe a crying baby. & also make that baby fall asleep. Speaking from experience 😅 thank you!

Perfect timing, I hope everyone has a wonderful night
Back at ya!
The way each tale was narrated with such detail and suspense really had me on the edge of my seat.
You're supposed to be in bed....lol
@@jimjam4444never
Rain sounds as well? Excellent!! ❤

Perfect 😊

Alright!! New let’s read! Perfect way to drift off to sleep 😴
LOL. I feel like I might be the only person who stays awake during these videos based on the comments. I listen while working or doing chores.
Same, everybody listens to fall asleep. I listen as body doubling for ADHD lol
Same, but I had a hard time falling asleep last night so I put on an oldie. It sure worked too! I was out.
Same :)
Same😊
I’ve watched over 10000 of these videos over the last 10 years and I’m awake for most of em. I’m surprised there’s still new stories for me lol
Please do videos with rain 🌧️ sounds in the background. Love your videos man keep it up ❤
Right in time for bed ♡ love your channel sir
Dang!!! Finally.... a pile of consistently great stories!!❤ ❤ ❤ 👍 👌 👏 Some of these are already on my TOP TEN LIST!!
I 100% believe the Hershey's origin story
I was cracking up at that part of the story - like, wait, what!?!? 🤣
I came to the comments to see if anyone else was like "what drugs is that person on?", or just me.
@@tjmulligan3086 Same, there wasn't many when I checked - I was doing a double take then then just cracking up on how hilarious it was that he just slipped that in there and was hoping to find kindred spirits after 😂
Same here 😂 I was like wtf how did the story get to this 😂
@@maria.cheila Same! 🤣👍
I've been listening since you started your channel. You've been a big part of my life and I thank you for it! so, thank you Joel!
Love the intro music, Joel!!! ❤
😊😊
🫢@@WhisperedZone
as someone from a smallish illinois midwest town near a big college… i need to know where story 4 happened
Im scanning the comments for the same info. Wonder what the crack is, sounded like the story line of a messed up thriller . ? ? 👍💛👊
Maybe South Barrington Illinois.
Masonic temple Harper college is near by.
Evanston is also freaking scary goes to and northwestern
Stephen King will know
@@romelamaleksetian4861 what would they all be scared of though? Why would someone tell you not to move there, like that. ? It's been doing my head in all day and I'm from the UK. !
Come on gee , spill .👍💛👊
Me too!!!
Been trying to nap allllllll day. Time to actually sleep 😴
😮
I know what I'm falling asleep to. Thanks, Joel! 🐈⬛🕷🕸💀
Sweet dreams 💤
These are perfect for my work. I love them. I’m going through the entire catalog. So it should take me quite a while, which is even better.
Perfect timing as always.... Thank you Joel
JOEL... I TOTALLY LOVE YOUR SOOTHING VOICE!!!❤
Mt daughter is grown and we still love to listen to your stories when we are together.
I love your voice Joel! Can you please make more reads with louder rain, thunderstorms? Love always! ❤

i listen to these at work keeps my occupied and entertained instead of listening to music for 10 hours
There was once a man who held a grudge and pooped on another man's lawn frequently... except he took it to another level. He brought his dog with him every time and did his best to leave the guy two presents! That naked pooper reminded me of it. 😂
Perfect timing, I hope everyone has a wonderful night and a wonderful day tomorrow stay safe out there!!
Thank you for these kind words! Same for you ☀️
Just as I was about to desperately search for a Joel video I hadn’t heard yet he POPS UP A NEW BEAUTY🥰🥰🥰 THANK YOU 👑
😮
Thank you very much for some more fantastic stories!!! Sending ❤ from Suffolk, England ❤
Perfect for my Tuesday morning
Morning mood
i wanna know what’s up with that midwest town 👀
Lizard people
thank you joel, i think ive heard 2/3rd of all ur videos the last month or two, and i cant describe how much i love them! Keep making them longer and with rain sounds, thats my ultimate fav for sleeping! the best lets read, love!!
Scary stories. but I always listen to them before going to sleep thanks Lets Read! for reading them to me every day.
I love this comments section I can’t wait to listen to this video
I love that this video is half of my shift today 🎉❤
My Girlfriend and I love your vids Joe! Great lullaby!
I listen to you every day. You help calm me down. Thank you.
I’m digging the new opening music
2hrs of scary stories omgg 😍
Where’s the rain !
Ano yeh 😂🤣
It's a scam! 😊
There is rain, but it's really soft. You have to listen really closely to hear the rain.
Love the long ones 😊❤
The first story is a re read from last year I believe. Either way. He's already done the first story
The story count is AMAZING!!! As a long time listener, I always start a compilation just to lose my place when I want to finish it later, thank you!
Who else csn only listen to Joel narrating maybe Mr Ballen i can do sometimes but I refer Joel i miss new stories so i go back " unwatched " LR to do my house work, drive or cook dinners simetimes even run errands. Best youtuber to me. 😊
Yes both of them but I also prefer Joel
For me its Lets Read and Be Busta
Thank you for the compilation 🖤🖤🖤
What if the crimes against Elaine and Keith were crimes of passion?Maybe Keith was involved in the assault of the 15 year old girl (would explain the castration), or some other crime, hence why he was so paranoid about moving from town with Elaine, and why he was losing sleep?He could have known someone knew what he did, and that they were after him. It's just a theory and has some loopholes, so if you guys have any ideas I definitely wanna discuss it.
TY for this long video! PERFECT TIMING 4 me 2 put on for sleep 😴!!
Well I fell asleep last night on this amazing voice.
I love chilling wiv a splff an putting joel on right at the end of the night b4 bed ❤❤❤
I easily fall asleep to these now it’s awsome
More scary stories please these were awesome thank you Joel
Lived in RI my whole life and never heard of story #1.
Me too lol
❤❤❤ still coming back, thanx so much, appreciate your videos so much, i have ptsd and insomnia so bad. ty joel❤ it has been over a decade now..
All these stories were amazing
I need to know what was up with that creepy town🤔
Yessss I've scrolled thousands of comments looking for theories. I need to know
They probably were all in some crazy cult
The guy went there and a cashier told him not to move there it realistically wasn't creepy or even that weird
@@enriquexhernandezchances are they were just in a southern town and the author of the story is a northerner, one thing southerners can't stand is a bunch of northerners moving in their town changing everything
@@longnutsilver4024 But the op of that story literally thought of that already. Doesn't explain the fear in the mans voice or him staying quiet after
Has took an interest should be has taken an interest.
Lots of people have bad grammar. I'm an English professor and mentally correct everyone. It's a blessing and a curse. LOL 😆
Have you put these stories on the poscast before you uploaded this I swear ive heard the first 2 stories so far before
Best. Narrator. The. End. ✨
Story 4 the midwestern town one, I’m wondering if it is in Nebraska 🤔
Rain sounds are the best!!!!
Ty It's been a long day & Im ready to hit play & drift off to dream
Oh man that restaurant story, pls spare us from such absolute cliffhangers
Sometimes a cliffhanger is a cool mystery, this was just a waste of time and such
Pizza Delivery Stories deserve their own special episode in my humble estimation. LOVE 'EM
I'm sure I have seen pizza delivery themed stories on here somewhere 🤔 they are great
Rain sounds is the best with you this is AHHHMAZING ❤
1:57:02
Time stamp for myself...
Never thought of doing that!!!😂😂
@@somerking7040 😂😂😂 i had to stop for work... So i figured out this is the best way to keep tabs... Where i stopped..
Starting at 2:12:28. Wtf 😂😂
I love when you make sure we’re listening
I was wondering why no one was taking about that 😂 had to scroll way down the comments to find this
Hey Joel!
This is gonna help me get some good sleep tonight!!!
Thank you so much!!! Joel, you are amazing and I tremendously appreciate you💚💚💚
God bless you, keep you healthy and safe 🙏🙏🙏
Much love ❤️
