5:18 the thumbs up
Bruh
Your speedy
E
Awh man, I was 5 mins late😆
Wow. I was still looking hard at minute 11
Imagine being drafted into the army during a war and you end up having the easiest job possible and you still go through this harrowing life and death situation.
@@williammaurice7206 - Yep me too. At least here though I'd die alone. I hate people.
Sounds fair to me. 😂
My dad served with Clint Eastwood They were good friends I'm gonna Ask him if Clint ever told him that story . How cool would that be
No.
I woud not put myself in that situation
Update: Dad passed away 2 weeks ago. Thank you for commenting on his service, he was buried with Full Honors. My Dad kept telling us kids he helped save Clint Eastwood when he was in the military during the Korean War. *We never believed him!* Dad and Sampson were from Seattle, my Dad went Coast Guard becoming Commander of a Cutter and was called out to search for the pilot and plane. He met both men while writing up the report. Dad is 93 and still healthy, I have to call and apologize to him! Dad just had his 94th Birthday...and still remembers this
Say hi to your dad from us ballers!
Yes tell your dad thank you for assisting in saving mine and my dads favorite actor/director of all time !!
Hurry! 😂😂
Nice say hi to your dad from me I am Jaxton
I thank him for his service.
This guy and his plaid shirt collection is unbelievable
he needs to get a sponsorship
😂😂
He sells flannels as merch now!!
He’s got his own line
God level comment
one of the most insane aspects of this whole ordeal for me is the fact that, had it not been for the error that resulted in the plane not having enough fuel, then anderson would have never lowered his altitude and samson (eastwood) would have certainly succumbed to the lack of oxygen due to the open hatch and died.
its just downright miraculous that amidst the seemingly unending series of unlucky events for the men, one of those unlucky occurrences actually ended up saving eastwood's life.
It makes you wonder about that prayer he said.
Yes! And if the door wasn’t stuck open he may not have been able to get out of the plane when it landed in the sea! Crazy!
@@RealBelisariusCawl Not really. I mean, where is your god when children are murdered, or animals are abused, or people get C-19 and die? Huh? Where is your all-powerful, all-knowing god then??
@@lisahinton9682 God is there to comfort the children and others that are sick or hurt. The devil and evil are here to cause harm. We don't know why things happen but having faith in the Lord is a comfort and my path to eternal life.
This is awesome that Clint Eastwood and Anderson lived through this.
imagine being terrified after being drafted, accepting the likelihood of your death or injury, only to be told you have to lifeguard a pool
The giggle is everything!!!!!
And then going on an unexpected lifeguard bootcamp in the ocean full of sharks.
i like how mr.ballen is so serious and then you heard a small childish giggle
I had to replay it twice 😂
@@estefaniacastroarenas832 replayed it twice too! It was adorable
Me too lol.
That’s the giggle of a fine tuned killing machine!
@@estefaniacastroarenas832 thrice for me! 🤣🤣
This event alone would make a good movie. Just imagine a movie about his entire life.
Dude I just watched a Clint Eastwood movie😂
His son could play him.
I agree totally!!
@@robbinscarberry8085 Clint Eastwood is still alive
@@Thaboggelwoggeler he's also entirely too old to play a young version of himself.
What an amazing story. When you mentioned Clint Eastwood our mouths just fell open. Thanks so much for these stories.
This is why I shouldn't read comments before hearing the story. thank you
I literally laughed, jaw dropped and yelled "yaaaaa right!" This was one of my favorites!
@@scotsman6712 broooooo noooooo! This was one of the best ones, and that's saying alot for Mr.Ballen. I'm sorry 😞
ME TOO!!!
Seeing him giggle before scaring children with strange stories is the purest thing I think I've ever seen.
yessss the purest thing!🙃
Clint Eastwood was already a legend. Hearing this just is incredible
I am speechless this is amazing
Clint is a real Hollywood badass!
Who else is thinking of Flint lockwood
Clint "Old enough for kisses" Eastwood.. yeah very legendary.
As that story is told...there are so many holes in it...it's ridiculous.
That’s the way Clint Eastwood got picked to direct the film “Sully” about the plane crash in the Hudson River was by telling them he was probably the only director who had actually survived a water landing. I had heard that but never the whole story behind it.
Water landing? That was a plain crash he was on
@@christinegreenwood4093 plain crash
The PLANE landed in the water. A crash is a hard landing. It was a water landing.
@Its me or whatever He legit said "then he realized he has to land in the ocean so then he immidetly started nose diving down" not "calculated
In aviation, the term “water landing” does not exist. It’s used in the non-aviation world by civilians and one day may even become an accepted term that makes it into the dictionary. I believe the point was that if you’re a pilot and you land on anything that’s not a runway, it’s considered a crash. I’ve only flown single engines, but this is pretty basic if you’ve flown anything.
@Its me or whatever Don’t get me wrong as I was not be disagreeable with you. Just sharing the technical definition to try to put both sides to rest. No side is particularly right or wrong per se, it only depends on who you are entertaining the story to that dictates how creative the linguistic picture should be. Be well.
These are the stories that I love the most. Military men looking out for fellow soldiers.
I love how he explains EVERYTHING during his videos..like what a draft is. He never assumes the listener knows what he's talking about. Fabulous story teller!
which he shouldn't, I guess there's a lot of stupid people around, Stupidity is a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, or wit. It may be innate, assumed or reactive. The word stupid comes from the Latin word stupere.
That's exactly what I was thinking you know what they say great minds think alike and thank God for Mr Ballen!
I believe that’s for the benefit of his viewers who are not American. A lot of things in his videos you don’t have to explain to Americans. That’s also why he provides conversions from the Imperial system to the Metric system.
Sometimes when it’s stuff that everyone absolutely knows like what a draft is… it can come off as rude, for lack of better words. With that said, it’s a consistent method that’s easy to listen to. But you’re right, the dude ties stories together like few others.
And he does it without saying too much. Like he never says too many details.. just the perfect amount
I got chills when he said the name at the end and I said out loud “OMG!”
But there are so many heroes even if we don’t know their names!
My dad was one of them! He was in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 captured Dec 16th. He was a POW for 6 months and was down to 80 pounds when rescued.
I respect all these men so much!
So many heroes! I also have so much respect for Mr. Ballen as well!
I thank them all for their service!
Freedom is not free!!
Clint ended up making the Ft Ord area his home. He was the mayor of Carmel, CA at one time.
Omg girl if u like scary stories check out RezTKF his channel is amazing an his voice is perfect for horror narration I been binging all quarantine haha ngl 😅 💯❤😱😍
So much respect to your dad 💯 I really mean that. But unfortunately most of the military are just pawns doing the dirty work for the elites and billionaires who benefit. Plus the amount of money passed around eveytime there's a war. Its disgraceful 1000's lose their lives for the greater good of their country when this is very rarely the case.
Despite this, your dad will always be a hero ❤
Blessings to your family... So thankful to all those that have served & are serving now... Seems they rarely get enough recognition. Thanks for sharing. God bless 🙏
Live free or die
For those who are wondering about Anderson basically after the whole plane crash incident Lt. Francis Coleman Anderson went M.I.A January 29 of 1953 and was presumed died in 54 on June 14 if anyone is wondering he was in North Korea during his disappearance. He was 29 years old.
Thank for the follow-up
This explains other versions off this story where they say Anderson dies in the crash clearly some confusion about when he died
What an awesome story! The fact they both survived made the story fantastic, but then the extra reveal! ❤😂 love these uplifting ones 😊
Sort of reminds me of Steve Buscemi’s background. He was a firefighter in NYC before he became an actor. On 9/11 he dropped everything to join his former unit as a volunteer and help with search and rescue efforts. He wore a mask the entire time because he didn’t want publicity take the focus off of the other responders who he believed were the real heroes. He says he would still be a firefighter to this day if he didn’t find passion and success in acting so he continues to be an advocate and voice for FDNY anytime they are in need of community support.
Honestly and sadly(for fellow FF and others), if that’s correct, that he wore a mask(Besides the FF one), the entire time working down there, it saved him from a multiple amount of heath conditions later on and likely death for himself.
One of the more lucky ones and glad he did.
Side note-I’m a local. I saw it happen enough times 🙁
Whoa, interesting!
So glad to hear stories like that about Steve Bucsumi. Also Rob Riggle was a first responder on 9/11. As one point he talks about these grueling 12 hour shifts that they had. Then they had 12 hours to eat and rest up before the next shift started. They did this for weeks. They are nothing short of true heroes!!
I did not know that, what an incredible man, have a good day
Wow! 9/11 changed the lives of a lot of people.
So that's why Clint Eastwood is so badass? Everything adds up now.
Lol. In my defense, I assumed people read comments after watching the video.
Watch the entire video before scrolling through the comment section. Problem solved.
@@badwabbit you act like it’s their fault lmao
@@Applxy354 well that's stupid
@@RubbingPotatoes no
*Clint Eastwood is such a bad ass, so I don’t doubt this for a second.*
How is the feral cat situation going
So you just spoiled this for me
@@bigobloks1656 now you know not to read the comments before finishing the video.
Damn thanks for the spoilers😐
God, your name is great!
I thought I had the best TH-cam name…
I guess not😂
Reading the comments I knew Sampson survived, but was unsure about Anderson. So glad to hear he survived too!
The way he genuinely chuckles at his own terribly corny jokes is scary in itself
Not scary ... endearing.
Fact 😂
that was a giggle
He has to be so serious all the time. It's nice to see him laugh. Maybe do a blooper reel in the future?
That was the best
My brother got on a plane late last night and when I woke up I texted him.."you make it?" Waiting for a response I open YT and see a plane in the water with a caption "someone you know was on this plane" my heart skipped a beat naturally before I realized it wasn't a big plane or any type of news lol.. Freaked me out Mr.Ballen!!
Glad he’s ok!!
@@MrBallen What a scary story
dude omg I'd die on the spot😂
Not the best story to watch in that scenario 😂😂🤣🤣
@@thatguy23962 ikr lmao
Rando: So, what did you do while serving in the Korean War?
Eastwood: I was a lifeguard.
Rando: Oh, so the only action you saw was swimming.
Eastwood: Sorta.
😆 AWESOME
😂
😂😂
Rando? It that han solos chinese mate?
i heard that in Clint Eastwood's voice! ...esp the last line. Awesome!!!
Wow! I couldn't imagine a world without Clint Eastwood movies!!! I always knew there was something special about that man! He is a driven and determined man! Way to go Sampson/Clint!!!
Mr.ballen laughing at his own dad joke was the most wholesome thing I’ve seen this morning
That was pretty funny. I love when he can't get it out.
Always my fave videos lol
Nah fr
😭 ikr
Yes, not a dad joke though.
And now Clint Eastwood is a pilot, himself, and flies around in his own small aircraft. Man's got coconuts for balls.
Those are balls of brass!
😂😂🤣
He is a bold one.
Well I mean it's Clint Eastwood
His balls are made of bowling balls I don’t know why I keep them in his pants but the man’s a bad ass!! And they say he’s one of the nicest people in Hollywood
No matter how serious these stories get, I will never not laugh at John’s giggle. Him breaking character and giggling is my favorite thing in the world.
It’s usually funny but this one was fake
Seriously it was fake? Come on a person can't just laugh or giggle?
What is it, some big conspiracy or something? Puhleeze 🙄
@norringtonlover Agreed! Honestly it was the 1st time that I actually had ever heard him Laugh or giggle like that and I had to go back and watch it again, I thought it was because I was over tired lol 😄 He's truly a great man and story teller.
@How to make ... I can tell you arent a bot.
@How to make ... subscribed. It said 198 but even when i subscribed it still said 198... i guess i dont count hahaha x
This story was unbelievable. Literally tears in my eyes when I realize he was talking about Clint Eastwood. That's my favorite actor in the world of all times!!!
Watching him laugh at the horrible things we do to the like button makes me smile 😂🤣
it knows what it did
It must pay for its…
You Cant be More Right My Guy👍🏻
Since being on this platform for almost 20 years, this guy is the only person i know that is so creative on how to smash the like button.
I know right
"Tomorrow is promised to no one." - Clint Eastwood..
I knew who this was immediately the pic. Then he started tal6about Fort Ord in Monterey county, which makes sense as he was Mayor of Carmel not far away.
"Make my day."
Clint
@Tammatha Rogers k
@Tammatha Rogersthe man in the sky only talked to a few people like Adam and eve who had 3 sons a Populated the Earth🤔 . Who did he say this to out of interest because im not sold
@@michaelduda787 it's from Proverbs so probably Solomon said it
I admit, I was skeptical that someone I actually knew was on this plane, but YOU DID NOT LIE! I love you Mr. Ballen.
Yeah he didn't lie alright. I went to school with the guy, knew everything about him
I didnt know anyone
He does exaggerate though! This Eastwood story was _nothing like_ as dramatic as told here.. and many others are the same.. so it is more like story-telling rather than total truthful FACT-telling!
Well, I'd argue that "knowing someone" is different to "knowing about someone".
While I do know who Clint Eastwood is, but I don't actually know him.
@@ReprovedReaper1 I didnt know, or know about, anyone
The fact that he was a lifeguard and swimming is what saved his life is insane
Alone in the ocean at night. My absolute worst nightmare.
. . . In shark infested water
Just to add more reason not to go near open water 😊
Same
@@Sergote12 you're saying "shark infested water" as if they aren't supposed to be there, its their home, its like saying "human infested houses"
@@i0x37 nope, sharks dont inhabit every ocean; and in many places (as in cold ones like south atlantic ocean) the few shark species are small and dont attack humans; only warm water great white sharks are human killers (caribean, australia, etc)
Being in the ocean Any time of day for that matter
I always knew Clint Eastwood was badass. Didn’t know he was that badass!
Right!!
He's the Most badass.
@@krickette5569 most definitely. Clint Eastwood and John wayne are by far the most badass people who have ever worked in Hollywood
@Tacitus G. Kilgore I love your username. Rdr2 is amazing
He's the real deal
Imagine being in middle of an ocean and hearing "Do you know how to get to the Bell's canyon?"
This comment needs more upvotes
From the mouth of a great white shark ...
only real fans will know this one, also that story gave me the shivers and now everytime i here that sentence i get scared again
Omg hahahaha….. lol
Hilarious
I love this story! The surprise at the end was a great touch! Now that's a movie Cint Eastwood should have made!!
The reason why the sharks didn't go after Clint was because the sharks didn't feel lucky that night.
Sharks also don't view humans as food unless absolutely starving or mistaken. They attack surfers etc. when they look up and see massive shadows, mistaking them for turtles.
Turns out Clint Eastwood isn't that great of an actor... He's just being himself the whole time.
Lol! Right?!? Who knew??
Naw it's the other way around!
He's a great actor because he convinced everyone that he was acting when in reality, he wasn't. xD
I don’t care. He’ll always be Rowdy to me! 💕❤️😘😍🥰💕
Absolutely freaking amazing. Now Eastwood being a director producer actor couldn't figure out making a movie of this?...Hahaha
His COOL self👍can't forget that part😍
Started with Goosebumps books, now graduated to the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious, delivered in story format.
Wow!!! This was such a Jaw Dropper! Thank you for sharing this story ❤️
oh i briefly heard his son Scott Eastwood in an interview say how one time his father was in a plane crash in the ocean but didn’t go into details now i finally know. seems like Clint is even more badass in real life.
I WANNA LIKE THIS BUT IT HAS 69 LIKES😭
Honestly this story just makes C. E. even cooler.
cooler than what?? he is a racist old man who talks to chairs lol
@@1234-b6n proof?
@@1234-b6n
Do you believe everything you hear? Don't be gullible.
@@1234-b6n he does say a lot of racist things in gran torino. but that doesn’t make him a racist because it was part of his character in the movie.
@@1234-b6n you really have to stop hitting your like button.
0:26 why is his giggle the cutest thing❤
no
yes😌🤚
Yea
It was kind of creepy, tbh.
Ur gay
Great job on the story, Mr. Ballen! I felt myself tending up on this one !! Appreciate your service to our country as well.
10/10 for designing a hatch that opens so that it catches the wind instead of the wind keeping it closed.
different times I guess.
Also sometimes design flaws never get caught because people didn't think of that scenario.
@@svampebob007, also high stress points during wartime’s so someone making is probably just hustling out models and they don’t really have the time to make sure everything is spotless they just have to make sure it’ll run properly
@@svampebob007 People designing the plane didn't think of the wind?
If that door stayed shut we would never have known who Clint Eastwood is.
Americans for you 😜🤣
Now I know why I have enjoyed Clint Eastwood’s movies so much. He is as tough as his movies portray him.
2nd Plot Twist: Anderson’s real name is Chuck Norris
I am so glad I'm not the only one who thought that!!!
That would be awesome
😵🙅🏻♀️🙃
Banging. Nice to have them live. Mr Eastwood is the true definition of Legend. Can’t praise him enough. My vocabulary doesn’t know of the words worthy. Great story Mr B!
This guy could have his own Netflix series.
*should
and he SHOULD!!!!
@@ncherise74 Yeah it would be better than spending 150million on friends
Yes, he could. But I don't have Netflix, so I'd lose out
Only if Netflix doesn't try to change anything. Ballen is doing great as id so far.
I'm surprised the like button hasn't filed a restraining order
We’ve done so much
😂🤣😅lmao, good one!
Oh it has
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Lol
I'm shocked Clint Eastwood didn't make a real life movie out of his situation.
I would pay to see that movie!
He directed the movie “sully” largely because of this experience!
Ok, that's a good movie. But seriously he should direct his own story and have his son play him. You can't go wrong with based on a true story movie. I checked out your merch Mr. B and we need to get some toddler sizes in there. My granddaughter crawls into my bed while I'm watching and I know she's young but she's a fan of the strange dark and unusual delivered in story format but doesn't know it yet.
@@melanielangham1212 Definitely, they should have Scott Eastwood play his dad in a movie of this story.
He would have but he didn't have another director to copy the work of.
I love this guys giggle tho 😂
When he said Clint Eastwood I was like hold fuckin shit that's crazy he's a bad ass in real life not just in the movies
Hes such a bad ass. I respect him even more now after this.
@@False_Death Clint Eastwood, in full Clinton Eastwood, Jr., (born May 31, 1930, San Francisco, California, U.S.), American motion-picture actor who emerged as one of the most popular Hollywood stars in the 1960s and went on to become a prolific and respected director-producer.
Clint Eastwood vs a chair. Go ahead, look it up.
That explains a lot with the scene in “the good, the bad, and the ugly” with the exhaustion scene while they’re walking through the desert
You've Got To Ask Yourself One Question. Do I feel luck? Well, do Ya punk?
"Someone you know was on this plane"
Me who knows nobody: I seriously doubt that.
I was thinking JFK jr really did crash his Saratoga despite folks claiming he is alive and attends Trump rallies
Do a story on the closed Ft. McClellan base in Anniston, Al and all the PCB Monsanto poisoning accursed there
I was shocked when it said Clint Eastwood
Yo mama was there and she so fat the plane crashed
@@Giovanni_Lippert lol
I swear getting to see you break character and genuinely giggle about the like button torture of the day makes my heart happy
Mine too! 🌞🤗
Lol it was cute
I genuinely like the fact the that the comments section here is so positive. You rarely if ever see that on any channel.
you’re genuinely so good at story telling and the visuals help so much 🫶
I wonder if Mr.Ballen knows how many people's day is made when they get his notification?
That's nice.
@Vaibhav P A stfu
More like how much he makes from these videos
I'm one of those people for sure
It pains me, actually. Everytime his wedding ring flashes in my face, I cry. I find myself repenting everytime I finish a video. It's kinda like that mosquito bite that sucks, but feels good when you scratch that itch.
A shark probably was going to attack him but asked itself "Do I feel lucky!"
LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The shark realized he was a punk
Well, Do Ya, Punk?
Thanks for the spoiler 😂
Next story: “how MrBallens like button has survived for so long”
This would be an amazing story :) Please, Mr Ballen, tell us how it "happened"!
I doubt its still alive after all the hate. Its a zombie button by now
Lmaoooo
😂😂😂😂
It hasn't. It's actually 1 like button per video instead of 1 like button for all the videos, so Mr. Ballen and all of us are basically serial like-button killers.
It's nice to see you smile and giggle once in awhile. Those times are so serious. I couldn't help but giggle as well.
One moment, he's serious, and then you hear his childish and humble laugh. This is why I love your channel john
That part made my day, not going to lie lol.
@@smurfette1016 mine too
John?? That's his name
@@1cinnabon yes, his name is john b allen
And he’s from Quincy 30 mins from my house !
So basically, every bad ass that Clint Eastwood has ever played on screen is just a pale shadow of the actual man.
Yeahhhh
Except when he acted in the musical Oklahoma!
So true!!
A great white swam up to him Jaws open ready to feast and Samson said go ahead punk make my day . And thus Clint Eastwood was born . 🦈🤠
@@jimmipage9987 he also sang in Paint Your Wagon.
The second attempt he makes at saying “vicious feral cats”... that little giggle that escapes from a grown ass man, one that happens to be a freaking Navy Seal, is what we need more of in the world. That was the most wholesome thing I’ve ever heard 😂
You spoke my mind. Thank you. Truly made my life. 😂🦋
I like how he hid his smile with his hand while he giggled
@@tawnieogle3552 like a Japanese person?
@@garrettromer8499 yessss😂😂😂😂
Lol!
lucky he had all that lifeguarding experience
Eastwood was nicknamed “Samson” by the hospital nurses when he was born because he weighed 11 pounds, 6 ounces.
What does 11 pounds 6 ounces have to do with the name "samson"? Just curious.
Please tell me that's myth. Otherwise Clint isn't the legend, his mother is.
@@alecminnis Are you though? It's a biblical reference from a different time and doesn't hold up to modern scrutiny because of a sensitivity to mentions of race. He was massive with superhuman strength among other exaggerated masculine traits.
@@alecminnis I don't know what the nurse's reasoning was,but since 11 pound's is a little big for babies now,I would imagine 11 pounds would have been huge for babies in the 1930's.And Samson was thought to be quite freaking strong,(at least the bible version, that's the version I know anything about) so that's my reasoning.
@@maebandy no it's true.you could easily look it up.
“Release feral cats in their house”
Mrballen: this the funniest shit I ever seen

I had to rewind and watch him crack up a few times. 😂😂😂😂
I love MrBallen giggles. Haha
That was so adorable lol
Those feral cats don’t play when there’s open cans of tuna fish up for grabs 😂
The only thing I dont like about this channel is that I've binged every story and now have to wait for new ones.
Edit : as a vet who served in the 82nd i wish I could sit at a campfire with this guy and here some stories from his deployment(s)....
I am lucky i just found this channel a week ago, so i have lot's of video's to go over.

Omg yes... my favorite series is the missing 411
Excellent work.
Love this one!!!!
I really like the crazy survival stories
I love when he giggles his way through the like button's abuse.
Idk that giggle seemed a lil forced this time..
I'm sure he knows you guys like his giggle as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the giggle is now being left in videos on purpose
Couldn't agree more!!!! Love his giggle!!!!
That second giggle was definitely not staged.
XDD
It's the best love the blooper shorts,,his laugh just makes you smile
Literally, jaw dropped with a "Whaaaaat" with the final story. So cool.
I sat yelling no way at my screen for about a minute
Me too...i was like noooo wayyy!
@@lukefreeman7867 me too.i actually said it twice lmao
My reaction: Bad ass!!
Omg same
“The strange, dark and mysterious delivered in giggle format.” Is one of my favorite comments I’ve ever read on TH-cam. 😂
Lol agreed 👍 I love his girly giggles when he tells the intros and thinks it's funny 😄
Damn! Clint Eastwood. I grew up watching Clint Eastwood because my dad is a big fan!
I knew he did a short stint in the military but I had no idea what he went through during that stint. Thanks so much for sharing this story that I now get to share with my 83yr old dad!
I had read before Clint Eastwood had been in a plane that crashed at sea, but I wasn't aware of all he went through. Wow, the way MR. Ballen describes stories, it makes them all come to life. YOU , MR. Ballen have a natural talent. So good
Yes indeed.. Mr Ballen is the best
I was NOT expecting that twist. I was so surprised I had to rewind and listen again.
I'm going to be a lifeguard in the army??? When the plane crashed and after he lost his raft... This is what he trained for! Eastwood is my favorite actor of all time! Outlaw Josey Wales, High plains drifter, The good bad and ugly, Unforgiven, Gran Torino... Never get old! Also, of course the Dirty Harry movies.
That's because 1/2 of it ain't true lol.
Thery're STORIES.
Kind of crappy that reveal the name, spoiling it for those who haven't heard the story before🙄🤐
Why is this better than an actually documentary ?
No "artistic license" to mess up the story.
our short attention spans 🤪
Because you are simple minded
@@internetpig5354 Lmao good joke
It's the way he tells the stories. Its so Intriguing that it makes you start thinking of the story as a mini movie in your head. Hes just THAT good at telling stories haha.
He’s a trained killer and his laugh is a giggle i love it
@Monty Chronik 🤣🤣 love it! You know what's up! 👍 i wish.
It was like a school girl giggle too, hand over mouth, lol. He’s hilarious
The last giggle you hear before he kills you lmao
@Monty Chronik well said
I had to rewatch to see it again! 😂❤
My dad was stationed at Fort Ord when I was a kid. Wonderful place to be as a child!
Chuck Norris looked into the abyss, and saw Clint Eastwood smiling back.
Underrated Comment. 🏆
Hahahah👍
Clint Eastwood smiles??!
Nice lol 😆
"Yeah..."
I’m surprised he hasn’t made this into a movie but I’m sure it will be once someone does a movie on Clint Eastwood’s life
I dont think it would be long enough lol
If Tom Hanks can do while not leaving an island with his soccer ball "Wilson" in Castaway I'm sure Eastwood could make it happen. 🙂
Clint Eastwood: the original Wolverine.
Your thumbnail picture is straight up CREEPY!!🤔😬👍
@@yardbird7360
Holy cats, it really is! 😬
That definitely explains why he was always such an effortless badass in his movies.... no acting required! 😱❤️
Definitely
The laughter at 00:24 is really lovely
Plad shirt: ✅
Backwards hat: ✅
The dark and mysterious delivered in story format: ✅
Don't forget the strange
Oh cool comment.👍Don't forget long hair pulled back under that hat. Lol 😆 ✅
Like button abuse ☑️
😂😂😂 yall are funny mayyne
Small giggle when talking about the feral cats ✅
When he laughs at his own jokes, purely the best.
"He did the only thing he could think of...."
Me: "Cry?"
Same XD
Clint Eastwood crying.. good luck with that.
No shit that's what would be on my mind too lmao. "Well looks like this is it for me, let's have a good cry one last time before drowning."
Clint Eastwood. Wow
A 2 year old mrballen video i somehow never saw??? What a treat! On april fools day no less. SWEET! :)
Are you freaking kidding me? How have we never heard this about Clint before? True badass for sure.
BC he's not the type to tell it, and you'd only get it out of him if you asked him directly.
He doesn’t seem to be a talker.
That was definitely a “WOW” moment. Never heard that story before. Awesome video!
I like his directing much more than his acting. I’ve always thought he was a little too proud of himself, but now, I see he has good reason to be.
Don't mistake confidence for arrogance. That NDE ( near death experience) left with him everything he needed to continue his success in life, appreciation for it. Just like when John was so badly injured, he carries his appreciation for life everywhere he goes and in everything he does.
@@idontthinkso6798 I actually had an NDE, more than once. The time someone shot at me, I had been standing, and as I began to sit down, I felt something over my head and looked up to get a nano-second glimpse of the way the bullet cut through the leaves overhead. About two inches. Had I remained standing, I would not be here. I found out later that it was someone pissed off at my boy friend, and when I found out why, I could sort of see their point.
I decided not to be with anyone who got me shot at after that. Guys, don’t get your girlfriends shot at.
Beth, check out The Bridges Of Madison County and The Mule. A life lived, is a story to be told.
Confidence and Arrogance are when you're good at something, damn good/pretty fucking good, and you have the evidence and record to back it up. You KNOW who you are, how you are, and what you're capable of. Cockiness on the other hand is just having a gassed up ego with no real evidence as to why it's there.
@@bethmoore7722 That's horrible..... you should find yourself a real man, not a boy. Boys play w toys, men treat women w respect :)
I’ve learned from this channel that nothing is more scary than the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format
That night Clint asked himself if he felt lucky. Yes, yes he did
He couldn't remember if he swam 5 miles, or 6.
He tried to be reasonable…..he didn’t like it.
Of fvck I saw your comment as the top comment under the video so I knew it was him from the start! 🤦🏻♂️
@@naturalmosaic I'm sorry dude
@@notsojoerogan yes please try not to post spoiler comments.
I like when he giggles at his hate crimes towards the like button
It’s funny and cute I know 😂
Right!!!
Same.
As a straight man I can also in fact vouche that, that giggle is just fricken adorable 🤣🤟 I don't care who you are lmao
Friggin contagious 😂
I find it hilarious.
His giggle y’all. I love it when he makes himself laugh.
WHAT I GOT FROM THIS VIDEO IS A MAN WITH COURAGE AND SOMEONE I KNOW IS A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT!!
Clint Eastwood, the 9nly actor who doesn't have to act like he's a tough guy, he just is. Great story
He is a vegan and anti-gun no joke look it up. Even though he is my favorite actor.
@@crabmeat2263 Isn't basically everyone in Hollywood?
@@crabmeat2263 mmm na he still likes his old western guns
Even though he denied his high school (my alma mater) Oakland Tech because he’s a racist
Making you vegan means you're not tough @@crabmeat2263 ? 🤣🤣🤣🤧
No effing way! He was already a badass this just proves how badass he really is omg
Lol
As a pool boy?
For sure!
@@Sheepdog_Alpha I didn't say it was
@@Sheepdog_Alpha Then wtf?
"Before they were famous." This is actually my favorite one of all of em.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...Mr.Ballen is the best storyteller I have ever heard! You are a brilliant orator and should be making your career at it. Oh wait, 3.8 million views? Nevermind, this is your career! Well done, MrBallen!
MrBallen laughing at the like button intro literally cured my depression
He has a good laugh
Lol same 😁
The cutest sweetest laugh I ever heard
Came here to say this
never had depression before i bet , bc medication helps that , not really it blinds you , but i stopped talking it so i can see what I've been missing
MrBallen is hands down the best story teller on the interwebs.
He’s so serious about his stories even when they’re horrible but then he giggles at the idea of committing hate crimes toward the like button 😂
It wasn’t jacked but I can delete it if it’s such a big deal
@Scott Lipe Ah never mind, just deal with it
When has he had a horrible story? 🤷♀️
That like button gets owned!
@@moore.k9028 Horrible as in horrific not horrible as in terrible or quality.
