 Hey everyone! I'm very proud to be introducing this video. It's my first collab and it's with probably my first pic. If I could choose any ASMRtist to have a collab with, it's the great ASMRtica and it's been a while. It's been a long time since probably October, maybe November. I have a last year and one thing after another as I kind of led to a couple setbacks but I just wanted to properly introduce him and encourage you guys to go check out his channel if you haven't already. I have to say more most importantly I think being an ASMR channel you have to be aware of what it is that gives and creates ASMR and I think ASMRtica is a superb example of how to properly create ASMR. He has a very deep voice. In fact I try to emulate him in his slow, very, I mean he just comes across as a very gentle and no endearing, very genuine, very intelligent, very just an interesting, peaceful mind and I think those qualities are very much what makes a great ASMR video and artists of course. I think my favorite video of his is probably probably one of his more popular ones. It's the map drawing of Europe although he draws Canada in the US as well. Well I wrote down his other ones. Oh yeah that's right. I think one of the most, one of the more creative videos of his was the, it was a, it's like a pseudo roleplay but it was where he used Google Maps and outland day bus ride in Sweden and he had some muffled rain in there and just walked you through or drove you through rather the, the what a typical experience might be and in the different areas of interest. Yeah I don't know. I had a hard time narrowing down his videos that because they're all pretty damn good. The maps in particular of course are really good because he he does a really, really good job. The ASMR experience by drawing very gently and using the right materials too. He uses this, he uses what seems like a thick or thin cardboard thick paper and show you guys shortly. I have a, I have one as well. I'm really happy that we got to do this. It's hopefully the first of many and I think collabing in general as he pointed out in his video is particularly, well fun is the, is the right word I guess in the ASMR community because there's so many genuine people I think and we all just, we're all just here to serve a purpose to help you guys relax, chill out too and hopefully on me and ASMRtica's end we give you something cool to think about as you drift off to sleep. So with that said let's see what ASMRtica drew for us and I'll see you shortly. So I guess he likes coffee. So a new package of coffee, a coffee machine where coffee is made directly from the beans. So it has to be, it could maybe, sorry, Swedish and let's just see what it is. I think I have seen the coffee beans since middle of the winter. So maybe a nice picture of it. I really enjoyed his sketching video but maybe I should have used, I like those sounds a lot better. Most of it I'm sure you could tell was very obvious. The bag, what looked like little crackers or wafers. I couldn't make out exactly what they were and I'm sure it's just because we don't particularly have those over here. So I had to guess and I did my best and as I alluded to in the intro it took me a while to actually, it's been a while since I started, we started making the collab and bouncing ideas off each other and settling on the format and then even longer past that before you're seeing the finished product. Partially that was because we were really in no hurry. I guess that's what you get when you have two very relaxed Mellow ASMRists collabing together. There's no sense, where's the fire? You know, particularly was procrastinating a little bit on this video because as you can see if I'm not in that gloomy, very austere, it might not be the right word. Very sanitary, that work environment in which I make all my videos of the past month or so. As you can see I am back in my layer. I'm back in my studio as I like to think of it and it's repainted in slightly different than maybe the last time you saw it before the ER response video. I had mold all my travel so that was cool. I had to replace that and it was two entire rooms completely gutted and to redraw all then I figured since I got to repaint and find as well take advantage and paint a color I enjoyed which was dark dark navy blue so hope you guys like it as much as I do. Part of the reason oh right and I wrote down as well that I did actually record a previous item show probably probably about a month and a half ago towards the end of December and I accidentally deleted it off my as you might be able to see here. Checked me out on December 26th 2017 so I made my video shortly after that and was cleaning out my PC just trying to make room because these videos do take up a lot of space and accidentally deleted it. Oh well with any luck this will be a better version so the first one the first one I wanted to do was so I bought most of the items obviously the bananas are new because they don't last a month and a half unless I would have frozen them but there's no real sense in doing that but the the crackers I originally bought some Kebler yeah kind of like the Ritz Ritz cheese crackers because I thought it's something round and crackery but I ended up eating those actually about two boxes of them and so I went and bought some vanilla wafers and I ate those too so I don't actually have the wafers but I do have the box because I thought that this was the closest that I could tell what it is that he was drawing there I briefly glanced at it in the video and it looked like he actually had a pack of something but I didn't want to go into this video with knowledge of what it was that he created but I didn't want to taint my guess of what it is he was drawing so I just stuck with vanilla wafers which are incredibly delicious and I feel like I feel like they are the kind of European in the sense of kind of being like a butter cookie which in my mind that's sorry I got a really stiff neck so you see me doing that that's why and the butter cookie kind of reminds me perhaps when he was going for there when he was drawing that so with any luck it was similar enough to what he got and these are mini vanilla wafers for the extra gluttoness so you can just grab a handful or you can eat them in a bowl of milk like cereal if you're feeling extra fat I thought that I would start with this and let you guys in on the funny story that I ate all the crackers that I got before I could even shoot this because I bought it last week and food sweets don't last that long in my house so I hope you like that the next one is oh and this one ASMR 2 I'm sure you you know I had something very similar to your what appeared to be a comic book to be a spider-man comic book nonetheless so small area so actually don't know where any comic books are real ones like this of course I probably ordered one off eBay or something so I'm gonna just use the one that I had made a video of it but maybe I should make another one because I really really enjoyed flipping through the comics I actually wasn't a big comic book fan or am not to use there but older brother had a bunch of comic books that I inherited as a youngling and one was the spirit of venom and that really got me into Venom and Spider-Man a little bit of comic books really all books really anything with paper makes pretty good ASMR so it's pretty cool that I was able to utilize this comic book again thanks to ASMR to go kind of knowing and be able to access a spider-man comic book relatively easy we'll go ahead and put that back maybe I'll be that'll be worth something someday who knows next that's alright I almost forgot look like he like a smart guy absolutely drew a candle is marked a clearly drew a candle and it very much looked like it was something like this and I thought that it could be very cool to light the candle that sound just light light tapping on the candle wax I also love the videos were of soap carving and wax carving I think those make really really really good ASMR that's a very very different sound than the fingernails but I could drew this it's very fun to tap on I think I'll do is just put it behind me hopefully you guys can see it burn there we go what is next grocery receipt oh by the way I guess I think something nice and I didn't want to give away too much in focus that's no fun but I shop at Publix anybody who's in the well Florida for sure but I think they recently started branching out to states to Florida so anybody on in Georgia and Mississippi Louisiana maybe South Carolina they might go to Publix as well but this is the main this and when Dixie or the main local grocery stores that you would go to get your food I've been going to Publix my whole life I guess so they are certainly known for their subs they make very great submarine sandwiches and we have really just wanted to show you guys give you a little bit of local insight into where I shop so next we have what looked like a marker in his drawing because he's pretty damn good drawer but I got a well show you big pens because I use them a lot so I figured might as well get something that I'm gonna use and oh ASMRtica also is quite fond of these and they really are almost fell out forgot I opened it up for my because I opened it up for my previous video that got deleted so I'll take it out of the package before you guys right now press down right now it's the sound of the springs being compressed and decompressed I think this let me try to warm it up probably doesn't help side down but let's try now without making it loud clicking sound can I do it somehow did line for my grand magnum opus art piece ASMRtica and that was a mini tribute he's so good at making making ASMR sounds cardboard paper I love it what is next two items left okay this I actually think I got a month and a half ago and I've been very impatient to to want to drink this but I guess I haven't been impatient but I've been patient much so wanting to bust this thing open and use it because I love these coffee beans crackly wasn't expecting it to be so poppy Sumatra single origin earthly and herbal dark Starbucks is very relatively expensive coffee but it's not specialty in the sense that you can't go get this at Walmart or Publix and I used to buy it a lot but it's just a little bit too expensive for me now so my taste a little bit and it actually it really isn't that much of a difference but when I do splurge I do like this as they they sprinkle on their beans but I do like this dark very very good locks in the flavor you unleash it right before you're about to make coffee by grinding up your beans it's great pick me up I really love it so I'm glad he drew this a bag of coffee obviously he puts on the thought into what he was drawing for me because of the comic book I have an episode on that coffee I have an episode on that he probably knows I'm jabbing like the crackers so we put that that thing yet still going I guess I should have moved it up now I guess you can see it yeah he knows I've used candles in the past so he was uh that's that's just a testament to ASMRtica artica is very efficient with his words he watching him has made me want to focus on not rambling as much even ordinary objects such as his gas station distance finder and just make it appealing to sit and watch for an hour I don't know how he does it but he's just got a very graceful aura about him and reminded me that when oh I just saw his intro the other day even though we're gonna try to upload these videos simultaneously and I don't think I mentioned that I might have implied that we mutually making videos of each other's drawings and corresponding show and tales of the items so I drew some items for him as well and anyways in his intro to his video he was talking about how he enjoyed the OZI the Iceman video and I think I think he left a comment saying how the question of what the evolution evolutionary benefit or benefit or what the origin yeah with the with the corresponding explanation for ASMR have been evolutionarily and that really made me think psychology and evolution history ancient history you would think I would out about ASMR and it's possible biological or evolutionary advantage but no I just I thought that was very insightful for Martica to deposit that as a question yeah made me think and then of course I thought about his qualities what qualities about his videos and his personality that radiate the ASMR I think it made me think that maybe it was a form of bonding because I feel like ASMR is very closely linked to letting your guard down and trust and intimate sound because after all your ears are on your head and your head is arguably the the most most of your body least expendable I would say part of your body and so letting letting someone get so close as to as to whisper in your ear I think I think maybe that good feeling is probably very much linked with some rush of serotonin or dopamine or whatever chemicals make you feel good so I thought that was that was very insightful and a really interesting question to bells with regards to ASMR and evolution onto our last item here and that is the bananas that are to good true every single one of them had some relevance to me in my life that's a testament of me showing my too much in my videos or him just being very observant individual I think it was really cool that he drew me such practical items so I'm very thankful for that article he knows I make smoothies and I certainly put bananas in those smoothies so this is really cool even though wouldn't have been that big a deal even if I didn't really use them but then I do makes it doubly cool these things are squeaky very very squeaky things must have a lot of wax on them very waxing so it was great it was great that he true such practical items for me I can only hope that he uses the ones I drew him and I won't give them away just in case you haven't seen the video yet on his channel and his subsequent show and tell of the items maybe maybe he did or maybe he was just being really really kind to sport and went and bought them anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this I had a blast collaborating with arctica he's a really really nice guy he's just a genuine person which is rare sometimes so he actually just passed the 10,000 sub mark and he's rising too so I just want to congratulate him for that I think that's so cool and he if anyone deserves it he certainly does so so so great you know to see good quality deism artists getting recognition like that so this was a blast glabbing with him and I look forward to many more I wish him the best and I hope that you guys will go check out his material his content his channel if you haven't already although I really again doubt that you know about my channel without knowing about his if you haven't know seriously he's probably one of the best his artists out there check it out definitely you do yourself a big big favor by checking his stuff so go show him some support and to let us both know what you thought about the collab with any luck there'll be many more to come sleep well
