The curtain lady, Blanche, was approached while the commercial was being filmed because they were collecting sound bites from real customers. They expected she’d say something like “You can’t beat these prices!” and then be on her way. But she genuinely had a lot to say, which is just adorable.
She sounds like my grandmother. She mentioned Coventry, which I think is in rhode island. We’re from Boston. Haven’t heard the accent in a long time, cracked me up rather than giving asmr
I think I have reverse asmr, the narrators whisper voice and hand rubbing is making me writh internally, like incessant nails on chalkboard feeling. Those infomercials were pretty cute though.
David Bull is a legend. It’s great to see him on this. His never ending passion for print making is inspiring. “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”
I love david bull! Been watching since he had like 1k subs and his stuff sat on youtube for SO long without gaining notice. Then a few unintentional Asmr enthusiasts shared his stuff and people were hooked. He's a regular renaissance man. He does it all! Hes a presenter, a writer, a cameraman, carver, printer, teacher, historian - I agree with you its inspiring. He definitely has had a huge influence on me. I was a brash young man when I started watching him and he provided such a great role model for me. Showed me that there are many ways to be as a man. A man can be gentle, intellectually driven, and passionate about the simple beauties of life. I think there are many lost young men out there that could use his influence.
Smoosh Goo me doing the same thing and falling asleep Mother Angelica; these metals are powerful against satan Me: ok well I guess I could always fight off the dark forces
Yes!! I remember as a kid liking watching it for her voice not the content. That before there was a name for the attatraction. Another good one is Sewing with Nancy.
I love him too. Two more you might wanna check out. Swedish guy playing video games and showing mechanical calculators @ 1stspyguy and an Indian guy doing reviews of random things like restaurants and products he bought online @ Check It Out
I could never enjoy those cause I was always thinning about the inevitable takeoff and how it makes no sense for a piece of metal so heavy to fly thru the sky… imagine being 25 scared to board a commercial flight 🤦♂️😭
It made me feel really good hearing her voice, she was spot on for my 103 year old great great great grandma when she was alive, soft and caring, but full of strength. And the sly up selling of satan repelling metal, God bless my scheming grandma.
Oh gawd. Curtain lady, theres something so comforting about her voice and speech, like she's that eccentric aunt you have that always let you get your way when mom was being too strict. Her accent 👌🏻
@@findcalm he does! His stuff is so amazing and modern!!! He has some very modern prints that are all made with authentic techniques. I want a print as well. Just dont know which one. He has a shop in japan
@Corvus Morve I have better things to do with my life than debating an atheist in a comment section about relaxation from unintentional ASMR but since I have nothing better to do I will indulge. Everyone was having fun and talking about relaxation and a nice keep thing and landed and then you barged in claiming how big brain you are. You could have simply moved on from the video and gonna watch something else but no you decided to get involved and stated opinion no one asked for. And then when someone supplies you seem to be fine with dishing out personal insults and seeming to imply a form of superiority over others. You mean to tell me that than a significant majority of the human race? Because that is a majority of mankind and I'm sorry to say it will remain a majority of mankind for time to come. People spend money on whatever the hell they want. Whether it be religious or otherwise I'm not a Catholic and as such these items have no real appeal to me but for a Catholic yes they probably do. If you going down the line that religion is a form of delusion that corrupts morality and advancement then please have a gander at all of the religious scientists that have existed because ultimately religion and science are not competitors despite what you may believe. It is only a very recent phenomenon that religion and science are somehow enemies. But of course, since you don't believe in God you now must instantly be smarter than the likes of Isaac Newton and Georges Lemaître ? I highly doubt that is the case and I recommend before you continue making the atheistic argument I would highly recommend reading the works of Thomas Aquinas and Julia Evola. Maybe they will give you something best to think about. Now that is all I'm going to get back to relaxing to some nice ASMR. God bless.
@Corvus Morve honestly never thought I could see such an immature individual using emoji's in the first place makes you look like a childish fool. Now instead of replying I will simply refer to Evola and compare him with similar quotes by your God Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens: Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience. Evola: When the representatives of a given principle prove to be unworthy of it, the criticism of them extends immediately to the principle itself and is especially directed against it. Instead of acknowledging that some individuals are not at the level of the principle, and instead of requiring that they be replaced by qualified individuals, it is claimed that the principle itself is false, corrupt, or passe, and that it should be replaced with a different principle. Hitchens: To me, what matters most is the pursuit of happiness. Evola: Happiness or pleasure belongs to the naturalistic plane and is marked by passivity toward the world of impulses, instincts, passions, and inclinations. Tradition defines the basis of naturalistic existence as desire and thirst, and ardent pleasure is that which is tied to the satisfaction of desire in terms of a momentary dampening of the fire that drives life onward. Heroic pleasure, on the other hand, is that which accompanies a decisive actions that comes from being, from the plane superior to that of life. Hitchins: Religion has run out of justifications. Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, it no longer offers an explanation of anything important. Evola: Science-in the sense of real, positive and empirical knowledge-can only subsist in what is physical; and that in the non-physical there can be no science, so that the scientific method neglects it and abandons it, by lack of authority, to belief, to the dull and arbitrary abstractions of philosophy, or to the “exigencies” of sentiment and morality. Hitchens: I think our knowledge of right and wrong is innate in us. Why don’t we just assume that we do have some internal compass? Evola: The fact that Heidegger sees in the voice of conscience an objective, constitutional phenomenon of Dasein and abstains from interpreting it in a religious or moral sense does not in the least affect the passivity of the experience and the relative transcendence of this voice. Thus he treats as nonexistent the critical effort of the nihilistic period, which showed how indeterminate and relative this voice is, lacking any normative, objective, or unequivocal value. Hitchens: Democracy and freedom are completely incompatible with the worship of an unalterable celestial dictator. Someone who can watch you while you sleep and convict you of thought crime. Evola: No God has ever controlled man. Divine despotism is a fantasy. Man, at a given moment, wanted to be free. He was allowed to be so, and he was allowed to throw off the chains that did not bind him so much as sustain him. Thereupon he was allowed to suffer all the consequences of his liberation. Hitchins: If one must have faith in order to believe something, or believe in something, then the likelihood of that something having any truth or value is considerably diminished. Evola: Men in revolt within the chaotic life of the great cities, or men who have passed through the storms of steel and fire and the destructions of the last total wars, or have grown up in the bombed-out zones, are the ones who possess in greater measure the premises for the reconquest of a higher sense of life and for an existential overcoming, not theoretical but genuine, of all the problems of man in crisis. Hitchins: Make me one with everything. So goes the Buddhist’s humble request to the hot-dog vendor. But when the Buddhist hands over a twenty-dollar bill to the vendor, in return for his slathered bun, he waits a long time for his change. Finally asking for it, he is informed that “change comes only from within.” All such rhetoric is almost too easy to parody. Evola: If we stop at the outward character of these peculiar documents of Zen, we are led to think of the style and the intentions of certain para-artistic compositions, which are not only surrealistic, but above all dada-istic, aiming at something which goes beyond a mere épater le bourgeois by jumbles of words and associations of ideas devoid of all logical basis or in any way intelligible by the canons of common sense. But the external analogy already indicates the difference, so to speak, regarding the point to be arrived at. We may at once state that the difference consists of the presence of a metaphysical background in the case of Zen, and in the utter lack of such a background in the second case, wherein everything is reduced to “a disordered urge to evasion, to the will to evoke the primordial, incoherent, howling, mad and burning chaos,” without any positive element as a counterpart of a problematic action destructive of and disintegrating normal mentality. Honestly though I cannot believe you're actually a real person even some of the most vehement anti-theists I've met have never been this autistic and I honestly believe you are just a some form of plant to make anti-theists look as crazy. I mean for God's sake what kind of atheist uses the word degenerate isn't that the whole reason you have abandoned God so you can fulfil your own hedonistic lifestyle because that's all you really want to do? I understand that is probably not the case yet considering how childish you act I feel it is justified.
@Corvus Morve the fact you honestly couldn't see that as a joke or as being irony is an inclination that you're not as smart as you think you are. And why do you care if you're embarrassed for me. You don't see the irony of calling religion in moral whilst in the same conversation describing yourself as a superior person and seeing others as degenerate or lesser than.
Ryan J that’s the video that hooked me onto Dave’s channel. I had never given woodblock printing much thought other than passing admiration, but I instantly subbed after watching that video. Such a great, well-told story
When you put Blanche L. Morrison(The Curtain Lady) in this...I knew it was gonna be a banger! For anyone wanting to know, she passed in 2018 I believe of natural causes, that video clip is the ONLY footage or image, besides the one shown for the Obit. Page online, that exists of this wonderful person .RIP.
I loved seeing Mother Angelica in here. We watched her and listened to her talk show regularly as I was growing up. She keeps it real! What a wonderful woman she was. ❤️
She's in hell if it exists.. Exploiting people's faith to sell bullshit made in a Chinese factory. How is this Christian? You people are unreal, maybe read the Bible and not get your religion from tv, Americans...
I love these compilation videos, man. I’ve discovered a lot of videos/channels from them, but I must say I like your talking snippets the most. You’ve definitely got my favorite ASMR voice!
Same! Remember the African American lady who sold the beautiful dolls? I used to get ASMR. Oh and Antiques Road show when they'd show and describe the finds.
I originally watched David bull for asmr but since then u have become genuinly interested in woodblock prints and his stories. Its such a great channel not only for asmr but for Tue content as well
What I find super relaxing is when you're at a market in a touristy place, theres always people showing and demonstrating the stuff theyre selling, for example little scarves which you can wear in different ways and they demonstrate all the different ways to wear it. Ahhhhh gives me the best tingles
Loved Mother Angelica 💙 a friend and I used to smoke the devil's lettuce and watch her all the time. Once I was lighting up the bowl and she said "So put that in your pipe and smoke it!" We about died 😭😆
I partially remember a show on PBS, where they would let people bring in old things they got from relatives or something hidden in the house. PBS would have experts appraise the items. I always loved using that show to help me take a nap as a kid.
Ha, funny you mention experiencing ASMR while being "sold" things. My first ASMR experience that I remember having was around age 5 or 6 via a traveling salesman. He was selling children's encyclopedia sets. After knocking on our door, he asked my mother permission to show me an encyclopedia to gauge my response and level of interest. We sat on the couch, and as I observed to graceful, deliberate manner in which he opened his briefcase and pulled out an example encyclopedia, I started experiencing the euphoric haze of ASMR engulf my brain. He opened to bookmarked pages and read a passage about astronauts and showed me illustrations. His confident way of speaking deliberate movements further induced the natural high in my brain. I wonder if he was able to observe what I was experiencing. After he left, I continued to replay the experience mentally and kept the ASMR effect going, albeit with much less intensity. For a long time afterwards (months and even years later), I found myself able to induce lower-level ASMR at will by simply replaying the experience in my mind. I wonder if anyone remembers having an experience like this as a child.
I do!! I remember is 2nd grade we had a substitute one day. She was a young woman with long blonde hair and very sweet and calm. She gave us worksheets and told us to quietly work on them. I needed help so I raised my hand and she bent over my desk and quietly explained the problem to me in a soft voice. I remember getting these zaps up my spine and my ears tickling and feeling so extremely relaxed and I couldn’t listen to what she was saying just the effect her voice was having on me. I ended up raising my hand twice more just so I could listen to her talking to me again. For years I remembered the effect that had on me and wishing I could talk to her again and replaying it in my mind just to feel the brain melt again
When I was a kid a third-grade teacher read "The Phantom Tollbooth" to the class and at the time I thought it was the most wonderful book ever, and while it is a really good, clever book, I later realized that a significant part of the book's appeal to me was how she read it. I had no idea what ASMR was at the time, but looking back I'm almost certain that's what it was.
Growing up in an alcoholic household where there was so much tragedy,I was a nervous wreck,at night I'd hide under the blanket and listened to AM talk radio on my transistor radio and first experienced a feeling in my chest and shoulders,a relaxing vibration that echoed through my soul to relax me,it wasn't until 2 months ago at 50 years old that I realized I wasn't crazy,that the feeling had a name,and that's ASMR. It has to be a specific type of voice,with certain breathing to get me there,and I'm so happy I'm not crazy. Thank you.
The most tingles/Asmr I’ve ever felt is anytime I have a yard sale....when people are looking over my stuff, picking it up, thumbing through it etc....just love it for some reason!
Thanks for all the unintentional ASMR video combinations that you put together. I’m not big on intentional ASMR but I love unintentional. You seem to be the only ASMR artist that offers us with both, cheers:)
Even your in-between comments are asmr inducing, I love the set up. My favorite was Horst, the accent! Real life instructional explanations have always given me asmr, sales pitches in-store work too.
Thank you for introducing me to David Bull. He's a delight to listen to, not just for his voice, but his knowledge and passion for Japanese art and culture.
This is also my favorite kind of ASMR. I had the same experience as a kid, getting tingles long before ASMR was a thing from people demonstrating stuff, home shopping channels, PBS crafting shows... I wish there was a succinct category name for this kind of thing, but there definitely needs to be more of it out there!
Same here.. all throughout my life tbh. I used to close my eyes on long, usually dark rides as a kid and listen to all the sounds of the car - like the directional and the sound the wheel would make turning, the cars driving in wet roads... things like that. Certain teachers or lectures would sometimes give me tingles and lots of normal, mundane stuff like laundry folding, crinkling/turning pages/paper. I even eventually couldn't listen to headphones lying down/sleeping anymore because of the intensity of my tingles. Experienced all of this long before I ever even heard of asmr (which was literally a year ago) haha
The soft sales pitches were early ASMR experiences for me as well. Also as a young adult I would tune into the Catholic channel hoping to see/hear Mother Angelica. This is great!
I love these, especially the olive oil segment. Reminds me of when you're broke at Christmas and are coming up with present ideas; "Take some figs, cut them in half and put them on a plate". The curtain lady is me trying to wingman my best friend.
Thank you for finally giving us some mother Angelica!! I’m not catholic and I still would watch her for ASMR before it was ASMR. There is an ocean of content from her if you look.
Before I knew about ASMR I was a vehicle technician. I fitted a car stereo with the customer in the car. I was very careful extracting the old unit because I didn’t want to scratch the facia. I was installing the new unit and glanced at the customer. He had gone all gooey and I think I gave him tingles!
"What would I do with this beautiful 3 year old" is really not something I expected to hear today, or really any day for that matter, and that's why it's so goddamn funny to me
I used to watch a ton of Mother Angelica back in the day, long before the ASMR thing and I had no idea what it was. I don't agree with her on much but sometimes she'd say things in such a calming way that it would put me out. Edit: I should add that this applied to a lot of Televangelists to me. I never equated Mother Angelica to them but the scam artist televangelists are literally using hypnotism techniques in the music they play and way they speak. They're pure evil and awful human beings but like a Benny Hinn became a master as mass manipulation. He'd over pronounce his "S" sounds at the end of words in a whisper. All the while there is this droning, calming organ note in the background. So calming. Don't listen to what they say! Haha. Don't. But they know what they're doing to get people to calm down and get into a state of suggestion. A lot of scummy televangelists are calming to listen to because of this. They're the scum of the Earth but ignore their words and it's calming.
thanks .. I haven't grown up in the U.S. so I don't know about those "scummy televangelists".... do any relaxing ones come to mind? would love to check them out :P
@@findcalm Benny Hinn is the only big "televangelist" I can think of who I got ASMR from, but I would look for anything by Sister Joan Noreen from EWTN. I don't think there's much on video but EWTN used to have an audio library of her giving a series of short talks. Incredibly relaxing. She's not what I would call a televangelist though.
I legit used to tune in to the EWTN catalogue show just for the ASMR, but only when Mother Angelica hosted it. She had a talk show once or twice a week as well, which was also good ASMR if she had no guests and just talked to the audience for an hour. Another great unintentional ASMRtist from that channel is Sr. Joan Noreen, an occasional guest lecturer. It doesn't matter if you're Catholic or religious at all - just listen to her voice for one minute and you're deep in ASMR land. Also, thank you for introducing me to David Bull when you posted that kuchi-e video a while ago. I instantly subbed.
Genius concept, I never realized directly that this was one of my favorite areas of ASMR, but now it's clear! It was great that you included Dave Bull and the pen salesman, absolutely deserved for both. Thank you. 😊
Hi @find calm Can you do a ramble on you...your interests, life struggles, how are you these days? Questions like...Where are you from? How is there? The weather...etc...q&a... lots of love. 🌻
i find gemstones and geology so fascinating. i got a set of watercolor pencils in 2nd grade after winning an art contest, and they were easily the coolest art supply i have ever had.
