My favorite produce stand is there on 322. I've done that back road drive through Mullica Hill and all that so many times to OC NJ. I remember when there was nothing out there and now there are so many warehouses. Amazing video as always!!
yeah it's not even about TRYING to do anything (appreciate the sentiment) but just going with what feels right/natural and this is where we're at. I'm not into chasing views, being popular, all that juvenile nonsense.
I used to go to Ocean City every summer. We'd all load into the family van- all 3 generations of the family- and drive from my grandparents' in Havertown, PA to the boardwalk. Those are such great memories. We'd always stop at the last Wawa before the shore, and also grab the Shriver's salt water taffy which I'd take back home to share with friends ☺☺ I live in France now and can't afford to visit, so I miss it dearly. Thank you so much for uploading this and bringing back those childhood memories. Might sound ridiculous over such a simple video, but it brought a tear to my eye.
you honestly look and sound super happy in these new nature type videos. i’m glad you are doing what you love and always making relaxing and reliable content.
I love these nature/outdoors videos as long as we still get to hear your whispering & talking (or flute playing!) as that is your own special ingredient that no one else can emulate in their videos.
Talking yes, not so much whispering right now mostly because how quiet it is compared to the environment. If I ever get back to the indoor content it’s possible I get back to whispering.
Thanks ER! This is so relaxing to be on a drive without the discomfort of the ride. This is the outdoor ASMR that's so good. Excited for your adventures and the sounds you'll bring back! 👊👊
Ocean city is only 20 minutes away from me. I love it so much there as I have many fond memories of the boardwalk and candy kitchen. You can never go wrong with a visit to Ocean city!
I used to never be able to fall asleep with headphones or ASMR because was too insane and was going to bed at 4 AM almost every night. Since i started watching ephemeral rift in 6 days i can now sleep with these videos playing because they're just right and i now sleep at 11 -12am
I am lucky enough to live right near where you get on Route 49. We take the last part of this ride to Ocean City all the time, weekly during the summer. Your video made me appreciate just how lucky I am :)
Love the channel and love that you make the content that makes you happy. I've really been missing your outside the box storytelling though. The nature videos are a nice change of pace, but it feels like anyone could do them. Your channel booms because you come up with ideas that only you could find. Hope to see a return soon, but thankful that there are 10+ years of archives to enjoy.
Very true! Your perspective on life is fascinating. You've played a huge positive role in my life without ever meeting me. I'll always be a fan and grateful for your art. I'm sure doing Arkham Verse stuff for 10+ years gets fatiguing, as much fun as it can be.
That's amazing; love the look of the neighborhoods, the stillness, quietness... so good. Wish you could walk around there at night, I'll never get to go anywhere like that. Stay safe Paul🌹
i plan on doing a night walk somewhere around a town that's quiet. can't do that at a vacation town since people out and about at night. but somewhere, yes...
Good now Paul, I hope you yourself are having a splentastic day. Thank you for another Amazing video, i always look foward to your uploads truly a godsend for whenever im feeling anything other than relaxed.
strangely these drive videos remind me of the times when I would relax in the back while my family would take long trips to visit family in Las Vegas back when I was a kid. good times good times
I’ve been a long time viewer, and listen nightly. This has been one of my favorites you’ve ever done. Just casual easy conversation. I find that whispering is too dull, and soft-speaking has a much better texture, if that makes any sense. Anyway, thank you, and good now!
yeah i hear ya. i'm still trying to find the happy medium with making the outdoor content since i have to make sure to speak above the sounds around me
I love your new driving video series! I’ve tried to watch so many driving ASMR videos on YT to relax to, but they’re usually just loops or no atmosphere of actually riding in the vehicle. You have absolutely nailed it with yours, really immersive as well as relaxing. 😃
Reminds me of a holiday I had in the states with my folks about 10 years ago. We drove across some states and it was fantastic, hoping to go back some day
We drive up to ocean city most years to stay a week or so in the summer with family- always a fun drive, reminds me of that!! Time to see if anything looks familiar. Love the parts where we're in/near the pine barrens, even if they're spooky to drive through at night and the music cuts out
I'm loving these drives🥰, feeling like a passenger and getting a little bit nostalgic as I no longer live in the US and memories are popping up... Love when someone else is driving so I get to look at the scenery...also never been to Ocean City, NJ..yeeeey!!! 😎 Thank you Rift, drive safe!! 😘👋
I know this drive all too well! I lived in tuckahoe and the traffic there even gets crazy during the summer. Still in south jersey; just thankfully not on any of the shoobie routes now.
love these types of videos and seeing my home state represented. so relaxing. I live in Philly now and would love if you could do one at washington crossing historic park- maybe bowman’s tower.
I want to meet up with you someday so badly. Been watching for 10 years now. You drove by my house in this video! Im 15 mins out of Philly. Hope we get a chance to grab a meal sometime. Much love Uncle E
I never have been to United states and it's interesting to see how its looking like driving. Of course Europe is also like this but not exactly. Us feels more open...more car focused, but in a good way. I like cars.
I like to imagine that i was kindnaped but he allowed me to look at the window and narrating everything just to make me not freak out till we reach our destination.
Big problem with ocean city New Jersey is that, at least in the beach I was on, a big storm had passed by and damaged the beach. To fix it they took sand from the ocean to fix the beach line, but because of that the beach is just covered in shells. Can’t enjoy a barefoot walk unfortunately. Great food though!
Interesting. But don’t they have the trucks when vacation starts that sweep and clean the beach of shells every morning? Least that’s what I thought those trucks did.
It’s crazy I’m from PA but I have a beach house down in ocean city we go to every summer so seeing uncle E driving around that neck of the woods is sort of surreal idk
I used to fly in to Philly and drive to Seaville (near Ocean City) multiple tikes a year to visit my Grandpop until he died Thanksgiving 2014 from medical malpractice.

Again. 😅
I could notice
Me as soon as I checked your channel: HE CHANGED IT AGAIN!!! 👀😱
The plot thickens!
There is an Ocean City Maryland too. I have been to Ocean City MD many times because I live not very far from it.
I really love your old video on reviewing the Ocean City candy! Get the best vibes from both of these now! Love from Russia!
Yeah I remember that too! What a coincidence. Was one of my most watched videos from him years ago.
wow i had forgotten thanks for the reminder that was a fav
Приятно видеть земляка)
Love that video sm
Yessss
please do more of these I'm from the UK and love to see what other places look like it's like being on a summer road trip!
people like yourself are one reason i'm doing these!
So am i!
I know! Everything seems so large and spacious. It’s so strange. Imagine how long it would take just to walk down a street.
Chewsday, Innit?
Im glad you talked during this trip, it made it even better.
sometimes i will, sometimes i won't

Bro has been on so many side quests recently
Love these videos. As I may never see these places for myself, I'm glad that I can experience them from your perspective.
Yeah that’s one reason why I’m doing these. Wish I could travel the world but that’s not happening lol
I used to never be able to fall asleep with headphones or ASMR because was too insane and was going to bed at 4 AM almost every night. Since i started watching ephemeral rift in 6 days i can now sleep with these videos playing because they're just right and i now sleep at 11 -12am
Omg!!! I live right there! It’s awesome seeing everything and being like. I know where that is!
Ocean City is my childhood vacation spot. Grew up going there with my parents and my Mom Mom and Pop Pop.
I am lucky enough to live right near where you get on Route 49. We take the last part of this ride to Ocean City all the time, weekly during the summer. Your video made me appreciate just how lucky I am :)

Ah, but no one can make the nature videos I make because they're not me! ;) As for other content, we'll see what happens when it happens!

Nice man! Drove right by my house on the Nj side of Commodore Barry. Ocean city is a great shore town.
I thoroughly enjoy taking the free path down the shore. Its much more entertaining than 287 and the parkway
As someone that has lived in Jersey my whole life, I've never been near or to Ocean City so this was pretty neat to see
thank you for sharing all of this with us uncle e
Good now Paul, I hope you yourself are having a splentastic day. Thank you for another Amazing video, i always look foward to your uploads truly a godsend for whenever im feeling anything other than relaxed.
Awe man I take that bridge everyday for work. So crazy seeing all this here. Love the videos Uncle E
strangely these drive videos remind me of the times when I would relax in the back while my family would take long trips to visit family in Las Vegas back when I was a kid. good times good times
okay this is the type of asmr side quest i can get behind
I’ve been a long time viewer, and listen nightly. This has been one of my favorites you’ve ever done. Just casual easy conversation. I find that whispering is too dull, and soft-speaking has a much better texture, if that makes any sense. Anyway, thank you, and good now!
yeah i hear ya. i'm still trying to find the happy medium with making the outdoor content since i have to make sure to speak above the sounds around me
You're a cool dude, Paul. Excited to see what you have in store for us.
My family owns a Beach House on Brighton Place! Awesome to see in a video
I worked on Asbury Ave at a Furniture store in 2015😊
I love your new driving video series! I’ve tried to watch so many driving ASMR videos on YT to relax to, but they’re usually just loops or no atmosphere of actually riding in the vehicle. You have absolutely nailed it with yours, really immersive as well as relaxing. 😃
Glad to hear you enjoyed
it's like traveling with a friend, great content Mr. Rift!
Hope you’re doing well Rift! Been watching your videos since I was a kid back in 2015.
These new asmrs are really amazing, i hope you continue making them!
that's the plan! for now at least
I've got family friends in Dennisville and I quickly recognized the word "Tuckahoe".
I love the new Type of Content been following you since years and its Great to See you in another Setting , much love 🫶🫶🫶
I remember ocean city. You made some pretty good videos way back about going on the boardwalk and buying all the different types of candy
boardwalk video is next!
Reminds me of a holiday I had in the states with my folks about 10 years ago.
We drove across some states and it was fantastic, hoping to go back some day

I have to check out the pine barrens never been
1:03:46 I used to deliver provisions there! So cool seeing Uncle E pass places I know!
I used to live near that intersection of 322 and 55. Still visit family there and go to ocean city that way!
I love this. Philly is my hometown
Totally loving these as a new / added format, thank you 🙏
Same!
I'm loving these drives🥰, feeling like a passenger and getting a little bit nostalgic as I no longer live in the US and memories are popping up... Love when someone else is driving so I get to look at the scenery...also never been to Ocean City, NJ..yeeeey!!! 😎 Thank you Rift, drive safe!! 😘👋
I know this drive all too well! I lived in tuckahoe and the traffic there even gets crazy during the summer. Still in south jersey; just thankfully not on any of the shoobie routes now.
Man, this really makes me wish my car was more quiet. Very relaxing video, Paul. Thank you.
I was JUST thinking about how I don’t actually know what your normal voice sounds like!! Hell yeah!!!
oh man this is great. thanks for always thinking outside of the box
(i'm not TRYING to think outside the box. just going with what feels right) ;)
I went to college right near to where you started the video...its a trip to see you there! also liking the new style videos :)
OCNJ is the best. So sad you were there before we go every year in the summer. Would have been so cool to see ER
Union Soccer stadium parking lot. Nice place to tailgate and enjoy a few beers
og Uncle's back!
Your "normal" voice is wonderful to hear. You're a cool guy & a nice friend to have ❤️
Like the vibe of those Videos where you Talk with your normal Voice big greetings from Germany
love these types of videos and seeing my home state represented. so relaxing. I live in Philly now and would love if you could do one at washington crossing historic park- maybe bowman’s tower.
i think that's the first i'm hearing of the place. I'll add it to my list!
I want to meet up with you someday so badly. Been watching for 10 years now. You drove by my house in this video! Im 15 mins out of Philly. Hope we get a chance to grab a meal sometime. Much love Uncle E
Another Banger from Uncle E
uncle E i loved your vlog video, it was cool to see your office and daily life, will the 'Man" series ever be back or you ended them for good?
it's a corner of the basement with a desk and was this way before we moved in. i haven't officially ended anything. :)
Make the same trip every summer on the way to Sea Isle. Great video riff, enjoy the shore!
at 1:22:41 it brought back so many memories seeing those courts. I used to go to summer camps there!
no matter what content you make uncle paul, you’ll always have a community here that loves your content. loving the diversity!! ❤
Glorious! Nice view friend
This was a very nice video to start my afternoon with ❤
I’ve been loving these nature vlogs, I’m dropping a like on all of them 👍🏼
What a hero
As a resident of South Jersey, Welcome!
I love how on 18:34 you call the vineyards, “wine fields”. You crack me up Paul! 🍇🍷
vineyard! that's it! lol
@@EphemeralRift Yeah Paul the vineyards! I love your laugh too then I laugh with you!
i live a like 35-45 minutes from ocean city so this was very cool to see!! :)
You’ve had some good pfps but nothing beats the electrical outlet
I just did 7 Bridges. Fun ride
Nice! Get some fishing in!
if i knew how to skin a fish and all that, i would. but i'm not into catch and release (poor fish)
You're in my neck of the woods 😁💖
Love this! ❤
Read the title and saw “ocean city” and my internal dialogue went “ fuck yeah rift went down the ocean”. I’ve got that Baltimore brainrot
No need to apologise. Great video. Thank you.
Great Video
I know that drive all too well!
like birds during the winter, philadelphians migrate directly to new jersey beaches every summer
Woke up this morning...
45:02 - 47:34 mins is my daily drive. This is coooky
i recognize that bridge into OC any day. i miss it man
at time marker 6:45 of this video...Wow! Is that the main Target warehouse that distributes goods to all Target stores in the United States?
Ooo
Outside content perfect
I never have been to United states and it's interesting to see how its looking like driving. Of course Europe is also like this but not exactly. Us feels more open...more car focused, but in a good way. I like cars.
YOOOOOOOOOOO I LIVE RIGHT THERE BY THE BRIGE BRUH I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE
Hi paul i love ur vids and i live in delco i go to ocnj all the time thank you for the vid
The Sopranos ASMR
Really enjoying the outside videos, keep them coming. You could try using multiple cameras to show multiple perspectives
yeah it's something i've been thinking about.
Would've loved to see this video from the drivers perspective
there’s always next time.. or the time after that ;)
Tackahoe road mentioned letsss goooooo
I like to imagine that i was kindnaped but he allowed me to look at the window and narrating everything just to make me not freak out till we reach our destination.
i think we might be slowly moving towards blending the fictional stuff with the outdoors. We'll see what happens. Ideas are percolating.
Ephemeral Rift in delaware county!

Interesting. But don’t they have the trucks when vacation starts that sweep and clean the beach of shells every morning? Least that’s what I thought those trucks did.
LOVE this video but shhhh, we dont want people to know how beautiful and diverse South Jersey is ;)
It’s crazy I’m from PA but I have a beach house down in ocean city we go to every summer so seeing uncle E driving around that neck of the woods is sort of surreal idk
Ah the DayZ reference. Spend time on that game still. Great video ER.
Haha yea I was heavy into it end of 2023
I used to fly in to Philly and drive to Seaville (near Ocean City) multiple tikes a year to visit my Grandpop until he died Thanksgiving 2014 from medical malpractice.
well dam i was enjoying that sentence until the end. My condolences!
I forget how close you are to my area. I LIVE at the Longport dog beach in the summer 😂
Good splentastic well hope you are now good in the planet of Reath or earth or something all the best Margaret!
Me growing up in this area watching to see if I remember the roads still
Well do you ;)
