Mark, this video was an absolute breath of fresh air. Believe me, I needed it today. It was like sitting across from a longtime buddy and being told everything is okay, and life is going exactly as it should. Your videos helped get me through a difficult 2023 when I was helping my wife battle breast cancer, as well as through my own health scare later in the year. She’s in complete remission and I’m now on the road to recovery. Your vids continue to keep me company during my long walks. The only problem I have is choosing which one to listen to. It’s like thumbing through the vinyl collection lol, you have so many great ones. What a perfect channel you have. I want to thank you for everything, Mark. And if you aren’t too busy please send me a shout! Your friend, Joe from Gilroy, California…The Garlic Capital of the World.
Hello Joe, hey my friend I am sorry to hear you have had so many health issues with yourself and your wife. Like you say the good news is you are both on the road to recovery and I hope you continue that path. I appreciate your kind words my friend and a shout out is on the way on my nest video. It should be out this Friday. Thanks for tuning in Joe, I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Garlic capitol of the world sounds like a place I would love to live...lol..have a great week Joe....:)
Hi mark! I am so glad I caught this on the same day!! I love your asmr! I have been with you through the very beginning and I love to see your channel growing! They did a good job on the snowman!
Thank you so much my friend for your continued support and for your kind words. Have a great day and and never stop being the amazing person that you have become...:)
Much appreciated my friend, and you are right about Father time. The best we can do make the best of what we have and enjoy. Thanks so much for tuning in Joe...:)
Howdy Mark! Thank you for another awesome ramble. You truly are a gem to the ASMR community. I've been listening (more than watching) to your videos since the beginning and I love the variety that your channel has to offer. This video is just another testament to how you can make any topic relaxing. God bless you and Linda and take care of yourselves!
Wow, thank you MrPeterSanchez, I am the same as you my friend. I listen to ASMR more than watch it. Thanks for your kind words and for your support....have a great week...:)
Amazing my friend, I hope you know I still watch every video but just don’t have the time to comment on all anymore, I’m sure you know where I’m coming from 🤣 love these kind of deeper more meaningful stories you tell, they really strike a chord with me at the moment in my life… my wee Blair Bear is going to be 5 months old on Thursday if you can believe that! he’s just the absolute light of our life, his personality coming out more and more everyday is just amazing, anyway much love to you, Linda and your family hope you’re all well 💙 p.s your story at the end really made me chuckle, I know it wasn’t meant to be funny and you were embarrassed and angry, but I do the weekly shop every weekend and just picturing you in that situation when you’re normally so chilled tickled me, if only she knew the memory you had and details you can recall 🤣 superb content as always
Hey Uncle, long time no hear. I was wondering about you my friend. So glad the little one is doing well, 5 months ...WOW. Cherish those moments coz one day they will be nothing but another amazing memory. Take care and thanks for commenting and watching..;)
Your stories are so awesome that yes I love your asmr to go to sleep but darn it I just want to keep listening till the end 😅 your awesome Mark! Can’t wait for the next one.
Hello Zain, I will give you a shout out in about a week or so. You are an awesome person and I thank you for tuning in my friend....have a good one...:)
I turned 13 in the summer of 1969 and greatly enjoyed this video. So much of what you said I can relate to. We may be in our 60s but we're still back there in our minds!!
Howdy Mark. I have some American football to watch right now. I'll check this out tonight. Looks like it'll be relevant to us geezers. See you in a few hours. Wow! I'm 62 and only starting to live well. I'm ending my live music career. I'm building a home studio as we speak. I need to record the music I've made for decades so my kids and grandkids can know what pops did. I'm about 5 grand away. So in 8 or 10 weeks, I'll be hitting you up for engineering advice. What a long, strange trip it's been.
Enjoy Bill, sorry it has taken me so long to respond, been having a busy week. I hope your team wins my friend. A home studio?...I had a 4 track recording studio then a 8 track, those were some of my best days. Thanks for tuning in my friend, I always look forward to hearing from you. By the way, I worked for 36 years in a care facility and 62 ain't that oldy friend...have a good one...:)
Really nice video Mark! It’ll take me awhile to actually make it through this one without falling asleep. but I woke up a few times and actually caught the shout out in the middle 👍. We’re talking super nitpicky. These videos are great
I’m a couple years away from 50. I enjoyed my 40’s. Kids are now self-sufficient for the most part, have money in my pocket, more opportunity to do what I enjoy, etc. However, my metabolism, or what’s left of it, hates me. I also have pain in areas that come and go without any clue as to why, lol. Father Time is undefeated.👎🏻
You are still young my friend and I have faith that you will be around for quite some time. Life does change the older we get but I spent 36 years working in a care facility and believe me my friend you are not over the hill yet. Enjoy life FrontSiteFocus, I always enjoy hearing from you...;)
I love these older guys who have these awesome trains sets in their basement. What a way to spend your older years...thanks for tuning in my friend..:)
if it sounds like something you'd want to do, you should totally do a show n' tell of any photos you have of your younger self! would be really cool and interesting .
I would do that for sure Brandie, great idea....now all I have to do is dig some up. Thanks for tuning in and for the suggestion as well...have a great week...:)
Hi Emily, I have one coming out this Friday March 29th just for you.... th-cam.com/video/H9V3F7on7Wk/w-d-xo.html .... don't click on link before then coz it will not show up until Friday...thanks for commenting my friend....;)
Hello Madelyn (always loved that name), Cheezies are a product made in Canada but like my amazing viewer pointed out they are very similar to Cheetos. I have tried Cheetos and they are very similar if not the same...thanks for tuning in my friend and stay awesome...:)
Hi Mark, it’s so great to hear your story! I’ve listened to this video already a few times and appreciate your point of view! I love how simple it is, but also how much wisdom I can see in this simplicity! I’m getting into my 30s and I must admit that life becomes much faster… 🥸 thank you for being you and for creating great content! PS. Shoutout for you from business trip from Mumbai! I don’t recall you having Indian food on this channel?… I don’t believe you don’t like it 😉
Hello JSD491, thanks for tuning in and for your kind words. Life does go fast, you will be surprised how fast the years will pile on. Yes I LOVE Indian food, so does my partner Linda, we have a couple favorite Indian restaurants. One day I will do a video. Have an awesome day my friend...:)
You should really think about have a meet up one day. Give people like a year notice as to where an when and hang out at a bar or grill or something an let fans come an meet you
I like that idea, I love my viewers and a meeting would be cool. We could all eat together....lol. Thanks for tuning in Mason, have an awesome week...;)
Man Mark , your stories ! I think when I was 12 I was still playing with Lego ! Perhaps kids grow up quicker in Canada . I do strongly believe its about having peace of mind , without that , what have you got ? You probably remember better than me , I think it was Jon Bon Jovi , that said ....."no-one gets out of here alive " . A pretty sobering thought I know , but we've got to enjoy it while we're here . Sounds like you're trying hard ! Ha Ha . Great video , A T B Tony . 🐴🏴
Great comments Tony, thanks for this. You are right, we all have to leave sometime. Thanks so much for tuning in and for sharing your thoughts. Have a great week my friend...;)
I would have loved to be in that grocery store behind you when that teller talked to you like an invalid. Wouldn't that have topped it off....... if should would have taken a Kleenex and wiped your nose. LOL.....LOL.....LOL And the funny part is........ I'm your age and can identify with your journey.
