HOLY CRAP! I REMEMBER hearing this story before but it was on Mr. Nightmare's channel, I think. And it was from the perspective of a friend of the couple's daughter. Freaky, man!
The fact that Mr Ballen told this story perfectly on a podcast-one take. Insane.

The reason Mr Ballen has 8m subs is because of his genius in TELLING stories, as if he’s sitting in your living room, telling you personally. More often now he’s reading other people’s scripts and I miss when he tells stories like this.

He was the lockdown hero I stumbled upon and I’ve been listening religiously ever since. Medical mystery’s. Mr ballen podcast. Bedtime stories now as well. Can’t wait for the book. Wish he’d do an overseas tour story telling. I’m near London and I’d buy a ticket anytime as I’m sure many would
Wait, i think i've heard Mr Ballen saying the F word for the first time in my life...and it felt wholesome! Kinda like he is casually narrating to his friends, so genuine!

Mr. Ballen is seriously the best storyteller I have ever seen. Like ever
Mr Ballen is HANDS DOWN my favorite youtube channel for over 2 years now. This guy is a painter with words in the way he story-tells.
The face he makes at 5:08 is me 90% of the time I'm watching a Mr. Ballen video. I really hope Mr. Ballen considers narrating a book on an audiobook platform. He's literally perfect.

@@SassaFrass28 That is definitely not true at all. While animals and accidents might be a danger in remote areas, you are let likely to have trouble with any humans there than anywhere else. And that is not just because there are less humans to cause trouble but because the humans out there are much less likely to be the kind of person to cause trouble. The kind of people who attack random people are disturbed individuals who would not have the resources and intellect to be able to survive in those remote areas.

@MrBallen 👏 I've heard this story many times before but, as always, your god-tier storytelling makes me feel as if I were listening to it for the first time. The suspense you build up is magical
Absolutely love this story glad THE FREAKING KING OF STORYTELLING touched on it more!
Freakin love Mr Ballen! Been watching him for years. Everytime I hear his intro song and his voice, this deep comfort and nostalgia sets in like a sweet childhood scent
I love this format of story telling, a podcast scenario... brilliant Mr Ballen ❤

Been years since ive came across and follow Mr Ballen. Since he has below a mil subs. Of all the story telling youtubers out there that i came across. No one beats Mr Ballen. I can with certainty assure that. You can hear his stories repetitively without not getting anxious on whats next. Forever Ballen. Love🇸🇬
I have been stocked to listen to this episode since I saw the first pictures!!!!! MrBallen is just pure pleasure to listen to.
Mr. Ballen is my favorite!!! Epic story teller and his mom is such a great writer. ❤
I love this , it's making me want to go through his earlier stories again , even though I have them memorized by now 💗
I absolutely love the set Thank you so much for this interview.. the full interview should have way more views that it does… is it being shadow banned

It’s like a perfect retell of his story on his channel. Except in just one take. Epic Ballen 👏👏
You should use backgrounds like that during your show all the time. That looks really cool. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a podcast where it actually looks like you’re out in the environment like that. Definitely should be a new full-time thing for you. It’s really cool.
That backdrop or whatever you would call that sort of background piece looks so good, I wonder where he gets the video/images for it
