Who is MrBallen and what does he do?
Welcome to another episode of Two Bears, One Cave. My regular co-host is having his spine fused. And so while he's out, we have a great guest. If you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, don't forget to hit that subscribe button like you're slapping the tip of your penis on your partner's forehead. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce Mr. Ballin. Dude. All right.
Very nice, dude. I love the care that was put into that intro.
Thought about it.
That's the move, man.
Is that because you're Japanese? Why do you do that?
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I started doing that. Like, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious, that's all we do. That's all we do. And then I end it with one of these. Like, all right, into the stories. And then I just...
I just never stopped doing it. I was watching that, and I was like, cool, I like this.
It feels kind of martial artsy. You know what's funny is I do that so often, because I record all the time. I'm always making episodes, and I routinely forget what I'm supposed to say that I've said a million times. I don't know what it is. You'll forget that thing? All of it. Really? When it gets to, if you're a fan of The Strange, Dark, and Mysterious, then you come to the right. And I'll just black out. I just black it out. I have to do seven takes.
Why are people fascinated by true crime stories?
For people that don't know, that are watching this right now, or listening... If they don't know, you, Mr. Ballin, have a wildly successful YouTube channel.
Thank you.
Where you tell stories about things that are strange, dark, and mysterious. True. And you have, like, what, 10 million subscribers or something?
Just about. We're going to hit 10 million, I think, next week.
Next week.
I think it's next week.
Yeah, soon. And what it is, is, like, it is, like, you sitting... And literally... telling these stories like the the whole thing i because i was i was i was listening to you explain how you made this transition into this thing but the part i didn't i didn't get like is this just a field you always had an interest in like did you always like stories like this
Kind of. I would say that the transition from being in the military to then telling spooky stories on the internet was not one I had planned. But I personally was always drawn to strange, dark, and mysterious content. Yeah. That's the stuff I like to listen to and watch on the internet.
The same, dude. The same. Like, I am your audience.
Hell yeah, dude.
I'm one of the four males, I guess, right? Because it's like 85% females love this stuff. That's what I always read.
The true crime side, yeah. But oddly enough, so I've been told, our YouTube channel, according to some data scraping, actually it skews more male than is expected.
Okay.
Don't know why, but then our podcast, which is more true crime centric, is...
heavily female oh it is yeah because the true crime genre is disproportionately skews female now when you tell these stories one of the things i got curious because it's really well done you you are you're a natural storyteller you convey the story in a really clear um exciting way and you you know you follow you follow along are you looking at any type of script off off off camera is this all memory like are do you research it and then kind of recap it? How do you actually put it together?
Honestly, it's a little of both. In the beginning, when I first started making these videos, which was early COVID days, I really just, on a whim, basically began filming these videos. One sort of spiked, and before long, I'm making content every week for this fan base. When I would watch strange, dark, and mysterious content that I liked, one of the things that sort of
What are some of MrBallen's memorable stories?
It isn't that I didn't like it. I felt like it would be more connecting if the host was on camera. And it was like you were hearing somebody tell you the story. Because a lot of these channels, they do voiceover over dark imagery and video, and that's fine. But I just thought it's more engaging to hear some of these stories. It's a campfire setting.
