Happy Thanksgiving MrBallen! I'm giving thanks for the extra treat of having a video from you today! I'm glad your tour rocked, I was sure it would. How could it not? Take care, be well, thank you for all you do! Your storytelling is the best on RUclips, in my opinion! Don't tell the guys at Jolly, I adore them, but your videos are the ones I look forward to most! Blessed Be!🧡
Mr ballen none of your videos have been bad at all ever as you described in the beginning they have all been great I've been listening to you since you started
@@THEOR1G1NALSTREETCAT It is tomorrow, but he probably won't post a video tomorrow, so I'm sending the wishes today. Plus the day before kind of feels like a minor "Anticipation of being full of good food, and telling all turkeys to "get stuffed" day." Except for the pardoned Presidential turkey, of course.🧡
How much better can today be? I retired from work after 25 years, MrBallen uploaded on a Wednesday, & my sons flew in for Thanksgiving!! Everyone have a blessed holiday and stay safe. 🦃
WHO in the actual TF bailed that monster out?!?!?! The judge that allowed him to be bailed should've been had to explain his actions and been held accountable to some degree as well. To say that "kid" wasn't a flight risk in EVERY way is such a crock!
Even though I've been watching for many years, how the hell you managed to tell a story, which I've heard before, yet it wasn't until late into the story that I remembered it?.... That's why you're the goat of story telling!
@@amandamccormick5009 He said right at the beginning that it's a repeat. However, the original was posted 4½ years ago, was much shorter and lacked many details. This one is far more thorough... 🙂🙂🙂
I just heard the old one from 4 years ago again like a day or 2 ago and it wasn’t bad at all but this remake is amazing he truly is an amazing story teller and just gets better and better each and everyday
My anxiety was absolutely insane on this story! I usually listen to your stories in the background but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time with this one! Hope to catch one of your shows up here in the Pacific NW man
OMGosh, this case is horrifying!! I can't believe he lived in their house for 6 months, terrifying the kids that just lost their Mom. Then, he killed the other ones. This creature doesn't deserve air!!
I couldn't believe that they let him out on bail. He was a credible threat, not just to the first family but to society at large. He should have received a battery of psych tests to determine if he would ever be fit to live outside of an institution.
I’ve literally paired Mr.Ballen with better health and this is a great combination. WITH gym exercise.. unbeatable. Strange, dark, and mysterious turned into.. great therapy, great discipline in my health and the gym combined, then I get the greatest reward of entertainment in my life. Which is my good friend Mr.Ballen. All I can say is thank you Jon and the fans. A family I never knew I had 😢.
Dude! Never short change the journey. It just seems terrible to you in hindsight. But we loved you then and we love you now. Those early tales brought us here. We're so glad for it!!
The video done years ago wasn't as bad as you think it was.... you're just more confident now when you tell it again. Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and family.
MrBallen. You helped entertain me during some low and dark times of mine with the vivid illustrations you create in your storytelling. You helped me get through COVID lockdown. Really happy to see you at this pinnacle.
Yeah, seriously! I have had such a weird week. I did not work my normal work days and I literally had to take a minute and figure out what day it was when I saw the new upload! I started wondering if it was actually Saturday or Sunday.
If the upload isn't on Saturday or Sunday it's a bad thing because that means it's a story he already told before and we don't get a new one on the weekend
Let the man have Thanksgiving weekend, he deserves it, what with everything he does for us viewers, and the fact that he's been gone on tour for a while.
He was also hiding out in a woman's garage when they finally captured him. Because Danny was known to intentionally move items around, the homeowner noticed the changes to her garage when she pulled in. It probably saved her life.
I had two tickets to go see you but I let my son and his girlfriend go. They’re both 16, and you are their absolute favorite- now don’t get me wrong, you’re my favorite as well, but I figured for the younger generation to go and do something like that would be very great for them. They were so happy and thrilled. They had a wonderful time, and next time I’m definitely gonna get more than two tickets.
"Now I sort of do" HAH Mr Ballen, you may not know me, but I've been here for 3 years now. You've become a MASTER of storytelling, and you need to take credit for that! I look forward to your videos more than I can express. What you do here is an art, sir. I will continue to watch and look forward to these amazing videos. THANK YOU MR BALLEN ❤👏👏👏
Hi Mr. Ballen! I was at your show in Indianapolis, so from personal experience, your "Like Button Shenanigan" was spot on! My husband and I were in the 15th row and our seats were right in the middle of that row. I was so incredibly excited to see you, so I truly did not care where we sat. That being said, I had to sit with my legs tucked up underneath me so I could see you! Your live show was absolutely AMAZING, but the room in Indianapolis left much to be desired. However, you and your outstanding storytelling ability made up for it in every way possible! Thank you for bringing your talent to the masses, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
@@sasukesgirl20 I was there to. The seats were just very uncomfortable and packed closely together. It’s an older room in the venue. So the seats were almost like dining room chairs
I’m so crazy busy and getting ready to leave when I see the notification and time froze. My head had to process priorities and I couldn’t remember I’m getting ready for Thanksgiving, buying my first home, and decorating a hotel with 3 nine foot trees, nothing else existed. I went straight to the story, and damn glad I did. I promise to watch all of the commercials if you put them together at the beginning, I noticed it broke my intense concentration on John. He got me right back, but I would have preferred it being a smoother ride. For some reason this is more important on a Ballen story than anywhere else.
you realize bail and parole arent the same thing at all right...? seems like you used them interchangeably in your comment as if theyre the same thing or as if theres a connection between the two
@@Uncivil_Dreams no what he's saying is it's insane he got out the first time on bail and after he was put back in he was allowed to have a parole hearing, not that hard to understand
@@Uncivil_Dreams No, OP clearly isn't using them interchangably. He correctly points out that dude should never have been released on bail (which he was,) puts in a comment to denote a new, but related thought. And the correctly points out the dude should never be released from prison. The connection between the 2 is that the dude is clearly psycho, and after the first arrest should never have been left unsupervised ever again.
Welcome to the justice system where they keep criminals who are likely to commit horrific crimes behind bars for way less time compared to a person in there for a lesser charge, doesn't make any sense he was clearly missing some screws up there so why not get the dude some mental assistance instead of a small vacation just to let him out to potentially kill someone which he did unfortunately it was multiple people of another family, it's sickening how this justice system works
Woow. I remember this story. What a turn of events. That poor family. Both of them. Its crazy that someone like that would have bail available to them. He was clearly a danger to society!
What? Living in someone's walls, painting of walls with ketchup, pretending to be a ghost of deceased mother and attacking people with hatchet while wearing dress and clown makeup aro not signs of perfectly stable and friendly guy who deserves second chance? Ah...
Panic makes u do crazy things. I also jumped from a 3 story bedroom as the house was under construction. The builders showed up and saw us and started calling the cops. We bailed.
There’s something special about watching a 45 minute video uploaded 25 minutes ago. Like you know no one has finished it yet, we’re all on the edge of our seats together:))
I have been a fan of your channel a while,and I love your storytelling.The first video I watched I think was the,the man who inspired scream.I also remember the original video of this story.You are very great with your work.Hope your having a good time.
@@Schmorgusyou said “like this” which gives some wiggle room, I know y’all’s walls ain’t wood frame but people can still break into people’s houses and live there without anyone knowing. This dude was walking around while they were home. My walls are 10-12” concrete and I still sweep the whole place every now and again just for this reason
This better not be true because why would you be an asshole and comment with spoilers knowing that comments will randomly scroll under the video for people to see
I saw you tell this story at the show in Massachusetts. Even in a crowd that probably knew the story, it was gripping. Such a talent to tell a story this way.
Read that title and I just KNEEWWW it was going to be this story. Terrified me to the core first time you covered this story and it’s just as terrifying now.
Absolutely. Terrifying. Your storytelling, as always, had me on the edge of my seat....hair on my neck standing up....completely freaked out. Great job, John!
I want to thank you about talking about your mental health because if you hadn’t, I would not have noticed the signs myself that I needed to speak to somebody so thank you very much for that. You are a really good person with a really big heart that’s helping a lot of us and thank you for your service. God bless you and your family.❤
As someone who's been in that place too, be proud that you've recognised you needed a bit of help & reached out for it. Asking for help is no small thing & it takes a lot of guts to admit (even to urself) that things aren't good & you need to reach out to someone. It's nothing to be ashamed of (unfortunately some people still have that stigma) & sadly it's so common nowadays that imo it's no different to being on insulin or having an asthma inhaler. All this to say - you got this! So from one stranger, way out middle of buttfuck nowhere in country New Zealand, to another ((( hugs ))) & welcome to the club of the crazies lol 😉😂
I don't like that he promotes betterhelp though. I am all for mental health and have had a few issues myself but they have had massive, and I mean MASSIVE data breaches and divulged a bunch of customers medical history and very personal info onto the dark web and straight into the hands of data brokers. Not my cup of tea at ALL, I like the idea but it needs to be next to hackproof because your medical history is very personal info in my opinion. I would not care a bit to share mine with even complete strangers but some folks, not so much. I hope he decides to part ways with them and find a better way to promote better mental health.
What a surprise to get a new strange, dark and mysterious video this Wednesday right before thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving to you, your family and all your loyal subscribers.
22:26 I KNEW IT! IM A GENIUS!😂😂 i have to find the video but at least 2 years ago I left a comment saying that you’re missing out on a crazy opportunity by not selling your own flannel brand!! 👏🏾 👏🏾
The memories of "I upload 5times a week"😭sad end of an amazing 5DAYS A WEEK awesome best times. now I count second &have the quickest click reflex when this notification finally pops up😅!! amazing watching Ballen grow &get recognition he deserved over all the years❤
Big hello from Bosnia and Herzegovina...I follow every single video, love it!!! I remember that story, but this is with more details and with much better telling!!! Just keep doing all older stories, and give them like new!!!
I remember when Mr ballen first told this story and as he mentioned it was short and didn't go into too much detail, now we get the full story that is absolutely terrifying poor kids .
Thank you! I've had a great care team and should be headed home tomorrow! Yay lol. Will be on a liquid diet so no turkey for me but I'll be happy to just spend time with the family. Hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
I lived in the house that was built in the 1930's and it had a basement. When I went in the basement it always felt like someone was standing in the far corner staring at me. A girlfriend moved in with me. The first time she came up from the basement she asked if I ever felt like someone was staring am me when I was down there. I had never told her about the feeling.. I wasn't the only one in the family that felt it. My grandfather had died in the room above that corner of the basement.
Houses where I live (Australia) rarely have an attic or basement due to climate reasons and design reasons etc. I’m kind of glad when I hear all these scary stories about them!
Mr. Ballen Thank you for all the amazing stories, and an amazing tour. Now that you’re home, please get some much needed rest. We don’t want you to get burnout, please take care, be safe. God bless ❤
Mrballen is, by far, the best storyteller for the strange, dark, and mysterious. I love this channel, and share a lot on my socials..and seen every video, and glad to see repeats in higher quality! Happy Holidays to you all; Happy Thanksgiving!
As soon as you mentioned the ouija board I remembered watching the original video! It's so cool to see you remake these videos years later and it's even cooler to recognize them.
They shut her up 100%!!! Did u see that reporters face when on live tv Natacha started laying out her case? Yeah she knew something... even if rumours... but she knew sumthin.
Was wondering the same. You've clearly got a psychopathic person in your hands who tried to murder a family and you just let him walk around free. The blood of the family that he killed is on the hands of whoever approved it and should also face jail time.
Yes very confused how parents do not notice or care that he's missing for 6 months , but care enough to post bail?? Unless he was ROR because it was his first time in trouble?
I'm from Indianapolis. It could be a very nice city, but the crime is absolutely spiraling out of control. Indiana is actually pretty nice as a state, and it actually has some very beautiful parts. It may not have the mountains of Appalachia or the far west, but at least it's not the East Coast either! I just find the East Coast to be incredibly boring. It's all been settled for so long, it might as well be just one, extremely long city. For me, real America doesn't start until you get over the Appalachian Mountains to the west. I've always liked the wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson who, in 1844, said... "Europe stretches to the Alleghenies; America lies beyond." Ultimately, I would really love to move west of the Mississippi.
Your Indinapolis show was downtown at the old national center. Wish we could've gone! That place is beautiful but haunted itself, especially the basement:) Congrats on finishing the tour!
Did the officers or whoever allowing him to pay bail got punishment? They literally letting a dangerous psychopath walked out freely to kill other family.
I grew up in Pepperell and my friends were from Townsend we used to tell this story around the campfire. I didn't know how big of a deal it really was until I got older. Really cool to hear Ballin tell the story soooo much better than we did!
@MrBallen thank you so so much for uploading this today. I am wide awake at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving day! But sadly not for a good reason like starting my turkey. My immediate family has broken up this year on top of the rest of my relations being strained as well and broken. So, needless to say I have been severely depressed and was thanking some terribly dark thoughts. But when I grabbed my chocolate and my phone, i randomly clicked youtube and..BOOM! There's my favorite, easy listening (and easy looking) 😅 storyteller! So just a heads up, Mr. ballen, your video uploading can be sort of life-saving. Keep on keeping on!
What?!!! A fresh Mrballen vid on a Wednesday, when I'm starting my cooking for Thanksgiving tomorrow?! Woot! Woot! Thank you, John! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow ❤❤❤
This whole day I had a feeling that I needed to check MrBallen's channel and then I just convinced myself that it's only Wednesday, but I guess my gut feeling was right!! It's always a good day when the best storyteller on RUclips uploads
I remembered what story it was within the first MINUTE, but I still watched the whole thing, like a real fan of the strange, dark and mysterious! I've probably watched every single Mr. Ballen video available since 2020.

This dude was walking around while they were home. My walls are 10-12” concrete and I still sweep the whole place every now and again just for this reason
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you & same to you!!
Hell yeah
Not for the indians
Thank you same have a great thanksgiving
I'm thankful we have such a great storyteller.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Ballen, Mr. Ballen Crew and fans!
Same to you!!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Idk why, but I feel so proud of you about the Tour and all 🥹
Congrats about everything!!
Can you square the circle? Or, circle the square?😂
I remembered this story as soon as you mentioned the Ouija Board to contact their mother, glad you are redoing this one in your new format!
Yes as soon as you got to the part about the Ouija board and the tapping, I figured that I'd heard it before
Seriously got chills when hearing the part where the dad looks in the closet and sees a man wearing a dress with clown makeup on & wielding a hachette
This better not be true because why would you be an asshole and comment with spoilers knowing that comments will randomly scroll under the video for people to see
😡
It was his dead wife's dress right?
@@Kimdracula1983 I'm guessing so 😲
@@SSD0584 you knew what I meant & that's the main thing 👍
I saw you tell this story at the show in Massachusetts. Even in a crowd that probably knew the story, it was gripping. Such a talent to tell a story this way.
I knew this was the Danny Leplant story but kept listening because it is so griping. Tina and her family were so lucky to escape this nightmare.
Perfect timing. I’m waiting for my car to be serviced. Love you Mr Ballen I love seeing your evolution 💝💝💝 You’re appreciated from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’ve done the same.
GirrrLLL cheers 🍻 from México. 🌞🏝😘🇲🇽
Read that title and I just KNEEWWW it was going to be this story. Terrified me to the core first time you covered this story and it’s just as terrifying now.
Absolutely. Terrifying. Your storytelling, as always, had me on the edge of my seat....hair on my neck standing up....completely freaked out. Great job, John!
I want to thank you about talking about your mental health because if you hadn’t, I would not have noticed the signs myself that I needed to speak to somebody so thank you very much for that. You are a really good person with a really big heart that’s helping a lot of us and thank you for your service. God bless you and your family.❤
As someone who's been in that place too, be proud that you've recognised you needed a bit of help & reached out for it. Asking for help is no small thing & it takes a lot of guts to admit (even to urself) that things aren't good & you need to reach out to someone.
It's nothing to be ashamed of (unfortunately some people still have that stigma) & sadly it's so common nowadays that imo it's no different to being on insulin or having an asthma inhaler.
All this to say - you got this!
So from one stranger, way out middle of buttfuck nowhere in country New Zealand, to another ((( hugs ))) & welcome to the club of the crazies lol 😉😂
I don't like that he promotes betterhelp though. I am all for mental health and have had a few issues myself but they have had massive, and I mean MASSIVE data breaches and divulged a bunch of customers medical history and very personal info onto the dark web and straight into the hands of data brokers. Not my cup of tea at ALL, I like the idea but it needs to be next to hackproof because your medical history is very personal info in my opinion. I would not care a bit to share mine with even complete strangers but some folks, not so much. I hope he decides to part ways with them and find a better way to promote better mental health.
WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THE OG VID OF THIS STORY WAS BADLY NARRATED? ;-; this is like one of my favourites from you so I remember everything aaaaaaaaaaaa
A VIDEO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK?? So far this is my fav week!!
Police canvassing the town: "Excuse me, are you missing a hatchet weilding clown in a dress?"

We are getting our old MrB.allen back! 2 times this week 🥰♥️♥️♥️🇦🇺
What a surprise to get a new strange, dark and mysterious video this Wednesday right before thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving to you, your family and all your loyal subscribers.
🦃Happy Thanksgiving to you as well🦃 Gobble!🦃Gobble!🦃
ON A WEDNESDAY??? IM SO HAPPY!!❤️😭👏🏽
This brings it back . Who remembers when it was 3 or more times a week? Been here since the first tik tok. This is exactly what I needed .
ME! Those were the days. However, I get it. His platform has grown and he might me more busy than he was when he began.

About 20 seconds into the story I recognized it. It was great the first time, but this was even better. Still gives me chills.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🦃🍽️
The scariest part is that someone that disturbed is out on bail at all!! He should NEVER be allowed parole.
Why not? He is a good kid just made a mistake
@@MatinSadeghnejad You are sick in the head.
22:26 I KNEW IT! IM A GENIUS!😂😂 i have to find the video but at least 2 years ago I left a comment saying that you’re missing out on a crazy opportunity by not selling your own flannel brand!! 👏🏾 👏🏾
A billion ppl have said this 😂 lol
I REMEMBER THIS BECAUSE I LIKED THAT COMMENT TOO
The memories of "I upload 5times a week"😭sad end of an amazing 5DAYS A WEEK awesome best times. now I count second &have the quickest click reflex when this notification finally pops up😅!! amazing watching Ballen grow &get recognition he deserved over all the years❤
Big hello from Bosnia and Herzegovina...I follow every single video, love it!!! I remember that story, but this is with more details and with much better telling!!! Just keep doing all older stories, and give them like new!!!
Baš mi je drago da vidim da ga prati još neko u Bosni. Pozz iz Sarajeva
drago mi je da i naši gledaju... pozz iz hrvatske

Evo nas
I remember when Mr ballen first told this story and as he mentioned it was short and didn't go into too much detail, now we get the full story that is absolutely terrifying poor kids .
I wonder if Mr ballen is going to tour the UK ( hint hint lol ) he'd go down a storm and i for one would definitely go and see him live 👍
Sitting in the hospital and I get a Mr ballen notification! Man that just made my day!!
Oh no! I hope whatever is going on straightens out soon and you feel better.
🦃Happy Thanksgiving🦃
Thank you! I've had a great care team and should be headed home tomorrow! Yay lol. Will be on a liquid diet so no turkey for me but I'll be happy to just spend time with the family.
Hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
I lived in the house that was built in the 1930's and it had a basement. When I went in the basement it always felt like someone was standing in the far corner staring at me. A girlfriend moved in with me. The first time she came up from the basement she asked if I ever felt like someone was staring am me when I was down there. I had never told her about the feeling.. I wasn't the only one in the family that felt it. My grandfather had died in the room above that corner of the basement.
Houses where I live (Australia) rarely have an attic or basement due to climate reasons and design reasons etc. I’m kind of glad when I hear all these scary stories about them!
this upload confused me so much, i thought it was sunday today for a second 😭
Mr. Ballen
Thank you for all the amazing stories, and an amazing tour. Now that you’re home, please get some much needed rest. We don’t want you to get burnout, please take care, be safe. God bless ❤
Mrballen is, by far, the best storyteller for the strange, dark, and mysterious. I love this channel, and share a lot on my socials..and seen every video, and glad to see repeats in higher quality! Happy Holidays to you all; Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow I was not expecting that twist at the end!! What a scary thought, some murder living in your walls for 6 months!
Mrballen got me thinking today is a Sunday 😂
Same here 😂
confused me for a minute too! it made me stop what I was doing and 🤔💬😂😂😂
My whole week is screwed up now. 😂
😂
@@resarm5007same 😂
the whole time I thought this would be a paranormal story.. this was too good but also unfortunate for the family’s loss.
yeah we got a good combo of a ghost one and a slasher all packaged in one.
The X-mas merch is cute!! The tour must have been awesome. The story - 1/2 way through so far - scary.
As soon as you mentioned the ouija board I remembered watching the original video! It's so cool to see you remake these videos years later and it's even cooler to recognize them.
I knew I already knew this story from somewhere 😂
I just left a comment that he's told this before lol I was correct I see
Don't encourage him to re tell stories man that's all he's done for 3 years and I'm sick of it
@@chrisrambo6810you can unsubscribe if you want to, just don't let the door hit ya. LOL
14s ago is crazy !! Thanks for everything you do !!!
Foreal I got here seconds ago
is it crazy?
@@hippi3morty that's fucking crazy. It only happens like once in a 100 years
They shut her up 100%!!! Did u see that reporters face when on live tv Natacha started laying out her case? Yeah she knew something... even if rumours... but she knew sumthin.
Why was he allowed bail!?
Was wondering the same. You've clearly got a psychopathic person in your hands who tried to murder a family and you just let him walk around free. The blood of the family that he killed is on the hands of whoever approved it and should also face jail time.
That's a very good question. I'd also like to know where his parents were. He was a minor
Yes very confused how parents do not notice or care that he's missing for 6 months , but care enough to post bail?? Unless he was ROR because it was his first time in trouble?
@ so true!!
@@MollieFrieWeevilGenius it just blows my mind...
1:52 what happened in Indianapolis? I lived in Indiana for 9 years. Never cared for the city.
The whole state sucks
Hoosier here. It's ok.
I live in Indianapolis 2 lol .... Westside Ben Davis area
The venue is a giant room and the rows are really long. It’s just not an ideal spot to sit
I'm from Indianapolis. It could be a very nice city, but the crime is absolutely spiraling out of control. Indiana is actually pretty nice as a state, and it actually has some very beautiful parts. It may not have the mountains of Appalachia or the far west, but at least it's not the East Coast either! I just find the East Coast to be incredibly boring. It's all been settled for so long, it might as well be just one, extremely long city. For me, real America doesn't start until you get over the Appalachian Mountains to the west. I've always liked the wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson who, in 1844, said...
"Europe stretches to the Alleghenies; America lies beyond."
Ultimately, I would really love to move west of the Mississippi.
Your Indinapolis show was downtown at the old national center. Wish we could've gone! That place is beautiful but haunted itself, especially the basement:) Congrats on finishing the tour!
Yay! Mr. Ballen on a Wednesday! I love these surprises he keeps giving us! ❤
I know this story. I live about 20 minutes away from where this happened. He went on to kill a mother and her two children. A complete monster
Who killed a mother and her two children?
@@melisentiapheiffer3034did you even watch the video?😂
He says this at the end.
Did the officers or whoever allowing him to pay bail got punishment? They literally letting a dangerous psychopath walked out freely to kill other family.
I grew up in Pepperell and my friends were from Townsend we used to tell this story around the campfire. I didn't know how big of a deal it really was until I got older.
Really cool to hear Ballin tell the story soooo much better than we did!
What a gem to watch at 3:30am because my baby just decided to wake up and stay up. Thank you Mr Ballen. WELCOME BACK!❤
Happy Thanksgiving Mr.Ballen and family
To me the saddest part is the kids thought their mom was responding to them and they lost that hope. Creepy and sad😢
It's quite funny
I agree, so sad.
@Loriann-p4y yea, I feel bad for Danny... poor kid just made a mistake, and now he is in prison
@@MatinSadeghnejad Murdering a family is a mistake?
@@angiej3127 Do you think it's okay to murder a family?
@MrBallen thank you so so much for uploading this today. I am wide awake at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving day! But sadly not for a good reason like starting my turkey. My immediate family has broken up this year on top of the rest of my relations being strained as well and broken. So, needless to say I have been severely depressed and was thanking some terribly dark thoughts. But when I grabbed my chocolate and my phone, i randomly clicked youtube and..BOOM! There's my favorite, easy listening (and easy looking) 😅 storyteller! So just a heads up, Mr. ballen, your video uploading can be sort of life-saving. Keep on keeping on!
Wednesday at 21:00🇿🇦
Thank you Mr Ballen
Amen broer
My South African people

You may not have “known what you were doing”, but I still enjoyed every minute! I’ve even introduced a lot of my family to your channel.❤
My dad had been rocking the flannel my entire live. Younalways knew what day of the week it is by which flannel short my dad had on.
It's always exciting when RUclips brings that popup for Mrballen. Thanks for always feeding us the strange dark and mysterious ❤
Front row seat at the Indianapolis show? What inside joke am I missing? 😂
I was looking for an answer as well 😂
yeah tracking this as well 😂
The seats were terrible fold out chairs all packed together. Very uncomfortable
@@MrBallenhaha oh man that’s rough. Gives the show more character no? I would have still enjoyed myself.
@@MrBallen I see haha
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🥔
Mr.Ballen on Wednesday?! Nice! But I needed to check my calendar lol
To bad it's a retelling of a story he's already told
What?!!! A fresh Mrballen vid on a Wednesday, when I'm starting my cooking for Thanksgiving tomorrow?! Woot! Woot! Thank you, John! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow ❤❤❤
That was a truly wild one. Gave me shivers ..😳
Mr Ballen is the goat
I didn’t completely appreciate Mr. Ballen until I watched Kyle Hates Hiking… What a difference! no one does it like Mr. Ballen!
DEADBUGsays...
The Dark -Sheep- GOAT. 🐐❤️🔥
Baking pies and listening to Mr. Ballen! Hell yeah.
Please don't watch Sweeney Todd while making pies.
@ 😂😂😂
How many times to we have to hear the same story over and over again. Im tiered of this.
This whole day I had a feeling that I needed to check MrBallen's channel and then I just convinced myself that it's only Wednesday, but I guess my gut feeling was right!! It's always a good day when the best storyteller on RUclips uploads
Your Spidey Mr.Ballen sense was alerting you to his new upload.😊😅
Happy Thanksgiving!
Mr. Ballen uploading on a Wednesday??!! This is truly a strange, dark and mysterious day 😮
I remembered what story it was within the first MINUTE, but I still watched the whole thing, like a real fan of the strange, dark and mysterious! I've probably watched every single Mr. Ballen video available since 2020.
Mr.Ballen on a Wednesday ? It’s lit !
