I hope bouncers get paid well, they deserve "hazard pay." Except for the bouncers that misuse or abuse their authority. That patron that whipped out a knife and stabbed Wyatt is a coward. Abusing a woman and then stabbing an unarmed man that was trying to do the right thing.
That story with Linda and her dad Sam, was like a modern day fairytale. I'm so happy for the author addiction is a hard battle to fight and coming out on the UP side so I'm extremely happy for him. I hope Karma got that ex that lied on him
Normally these stories never really affect me, but the 2nd story about Wyatt touched something in me. It was super sad and I honestly hope that OP is okay wherever they are in life now :/
It did me too...actually made me cry I lost someone i loved too different circumstances(in my case was suicide...) but know how the author to a point felt so really hit me
@@EmiFromMars I'm so sorry to hear that.. Hope you're okay :/ My father died in a work related accident when I was 12, and I think OP's situation of their entire world suddenly being torn apart is what really connected with me.
I read this comment before hearing Wyatts story. A gut 👊. I was not expecting him to die. What a horrible way to go and such insanity out there. I too hope op is doing well.
The 2nd story where the writer said 22 years later and the reader still loves him and saying how he was the one it got me crying I'm on my way to see my boyfriend and I can't imagine him being taken away from me.
I did a little bouncing in Knoxville TN. I had a couple close calls. A guy tried to draw a pistol on me but he telegraphed it so while his hand was reaching into his waist I was able to wrap up, lift, run w him, and slam both of us onto the ground. My coworkers ran over quick and we wore him out and had him arrested.
That’s a far better story than the first one where the potential MMA Superstar gets his ass handed to him in a real bar fight and then defaults to …..auto repossession. I guess no college degree is involved here.

@@donjohnson5123 Why so bitter and disrespectful? Dude got hit in the head with a bottle that apparently caused some sort of internal bleeding. Yeah, that's gonna do damage to anyone no matter what sort of champion you are.

I only have bad memories of bouncers in the UK, some (not all, of course) are on power trips, choosing to be nasty to people they didn't want coming into pubs and clubs. These stories were sad, but really well told.
I’ve bounced for the last 5 years. These stories sound completely unbelievable until you’ve actually done the job. Then it just sounds like a Wednesday.
Iove UFC. my favourite all timer (whose had a bad streak) tony Ferguson. We even chat on Instagram. It's crazy how real life is so much more dangerous. No referees, no rules, just crazy. Bouncers and doormen have my full respect. In Stockport, UK, one of our local bouncers had his ear sliced off for no reason whatsoever about 10 years ago...and he's still doing the job... Hard as nails man yet lovely and polite 🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧
The second last story as he started to explain why he was posting this story and that he is starting to walk I instantly had tears just flowing down my face my boyfriend looked at me and was Luke what's wrong what happened as in listen with head phones lol I'm so happy one of these story has a pretty good out cone
Thank you Lets Read. Giving individuals an anonymous forum in which to tell their personal experiences is hopefully therapeutic. Everyone just wants to be heard. Ya know?

The story where the boyfriend in the secret relationship was killed, he shouldn't have intervened. I get that he was concerned about the woman being hurt badly by her psychotic boyfriend, but when you see something like that, the best thing to do, is to call the police. The lawyer though, he was a moron, claiming that the psycho boyfriend was defending himself, OP's boyfriend turned from him to talk to the girlfriend. That was not self defence. It's also quite possible that this wasn't his first offence. I hope that he can live with the blood on his hands and if karma hasn't come for him yet, being in jail for a few years is hardly karma, I hope it comes for him soon.
Hey, Joel--I sure do enjoy your content. You do a phenomenal job at whatever topic you choose; you truly are a natural. Thank you for never failing to deliver! I work nights, and I rely on you to help calm me down before I fall asleep. I try to listen to your videos and sleep to either your older content & a few others. You have become one of my very favorite narrators. Thanks for all you do! Grateful for you~Kim💗💗💗
My good friend was a bouncer he got shot working the doors because he turned them away as they were to intoxicated to come in the club so the vile human went and got his friend drove by and shot him one bullet destroyed a family doing his job at 40pound a night to be killed and they were never ever found….. 🥺💔😢 1976 /2015 R.I.P brother big friendly giant hart of gold missed and talked about everyday 🙏 daddy to two beautiful girls and the most amazing wife milly ❤❤❤ and respect to many door men out there from the…….. from a uk girl 😊
Joel you are greatest narrator alive today and you are narrator god. I took Stephanie and Brandon out to dinner we’re at Olive Garden and Brandon loves the ravioli. Joel my brother and cult master take care and enjoy your weekend I’ll see you.
My father back in the 70's and 80's was a bouncer in his early 20's, he said the scariest thing that he had been apart of was. One night he was walking out into the club parking lit after a long shift, he saw a guy assaulting a young lady, he ran up to the guy pulled him off, grabbed his pocket knife and stabbed him in the side, he got the women into her car and told her to Leave. After she left he ran off because he got scared. He doesn't know what happened to ether since that day.
Story #6 I wonder if this is the Ray Lewis incident or something that recently happened. Last story so the bouncers were allowed to beat someone almost to death/diminished capacity?! Civil lawsuit, sue them for money.
You hope he got help while locked up. The answer is a hard NO. the prison system doesn't give a damn about cons nor do they offer any kind of aid whatsoever. A man goes to prison for crimes involving substances 9 times out of 10 will end up worse unless they manage to have a change of heart and sheer will power to clean themselves up. It happens, thankfully I've never been to prison so I don't have any first hand experience of this but I get it from a pretty reliable source.
Some people give bouncers a bad name by having a power trip i had an incident with one when just had it in for me it was horrible but I don't hold it against all bouncers
Wyatt. Infuriating and absolutely heart breaking story. That hit hard. Can’t listen to anymore tonight. That was the kicker my dears.
Dammit really feel for the 1st guy. Fighting career ended cause of some drunk asshole
That’s incredible Mercer recovered in the face of such grim odds. 🙏🏻

They do not get paid well they actually make almost the least out of everyone I would know. Most guys only do the job for the women
@@pamelameckley5040 It’s not my fault that’s the truth 🫥

Perfect timing. I just laid down to sleep, dead- tired, looking for which set of stories I'll listen to tonight. 😍
I do this too.

Story 4 was heartwarming ❤️
I’m so glad this came out at the time that it did!! Just opened up for dinner for my shift and this is perfect to pass time. 🤩
God, your voice is so soothing to listen to. 💚
Joel’s voice is soothing because he is a narrator god that’s how he got that nickname.

So happy for Mercer!! Such a great story!
Rainy day and scary stories , perfect combo.
A lot of bouncers I've met are laid back but some are just itching to bash someone. They should go through a psych evaluation before being hired.
Love listening to ya Joel whilst riding the bus home from work! ❤️
Nice to have a fair amount of stories that end positively. Very much refreshing.
Also nice Kate Bush reference heh
Wyatts story hurt my heart. I cried listening to this heartbreaking story. 😢
Ah yessss right as I'm getting off work perfect way to unwind🥰
We do the job because we care and love what we do, meeting some very lovely people makes it all worthwhile xxx
Glad to catch the stream the other night. you save me so many hours on sleep you have no idea.
As usual well picked stories and well told. Great channel to listen to and unwind 👍🏻
Thank you Let's Read ❤️
Keep them coming man.Thankssss🔥

As a recovering addict that story hit me
In the last story, you have a BF that's a mean drunk and wants to fight people when he's drunk, so by all means take him bar hopping 🤦♂

Karma is going to all of these bad people one day soon! Love the video ready ❤️❤️
Idk which story was my fav but alot of them were really crazy and over the top
Woohoo! I managed to stay awake🙌
Wyatt’s story legit just made me cry into my sleep mask
Yay, hi Joel! ❤️

Can’t wait to hear thank you Joel

Who else is watching this while taking a nice walk?
Not me I'm taking a huge dump
I love listening while walking on my treadmill
@@BrandyBee14 l do the same thing (sometimes) 😎
This going to be a good one lmao I hope there’s some funny ones here and not all spooky
I’ve got some wild bouncer stories
Jesus...that first guy could not tell a story without telling his whole MMA career.

Yess we are outside with the tiki Torches but sitting at the picnic table so excited beautiful night awesome narrator I love you man
Thank you Joel, sweet nightmares fiends.
two dollar beer?? i wish 😭😭
The first few minutes are the club was packed with a popular dj then cheap drinks to make up for low crowd
Cool video.

Ive seen you’re comment on a few channels . One some you say ur wife is pregnant. Then your sister had twin girls lol
@@welsh.truth.dragon3914 yeah my sister had her twins on July 10th my wife will give to our daughter August 31st.
I just sent this to a friend of mine that works part time as a bouncer. I wonder what he'll think of this

Rip Wyatt
Guy says how much he respects vets and everything they do but calls cops pigs…?
I be running up that hill, too
Paranormal stories soon?

The first kid never had a fight in his life.
I like the closing better than the birds... Lol
Thats interesting… One of the stories said “life imprisonment vs 25 years”. Here in Canada, a life sentence is 25 years
Running up that hill 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Interesting bottle placement in the thumbnail
Love the Kate Bush reference with stranger things at the end :)
Some people give bouncers a bad name by having a power trip i had an incident with one when just had it in for me it was horrible but I don't hold it against all bouncers
Bouncers over step their bounds most of the time
The guy who called the cops pigs, I hope he never has to call them for help. He doesn’t deserve their service
