What is the mark on Mr. Ballen’s collar bone that seemingly never heals? Sometimes it’s just a red mark others it’s almost an open wound. Genuinely curious, not trying to be mean or anything crazy…

June 21, 2026 at 4:49 pm
12:11 (before he answers) I used to think the like button stuff was stupid, or maybe just unnecessary. And then I started thinking it was genius. Not only is he making people remember to hit the like button, but some people even feel bad, so they hit the like button. Either way he’s Pimpin that like button and it’s smart. Anyway, let’s see what he says.

@leehayftw6255
June 21, 2026 at 7:21 pm
This interview finally made it click for me why some people find his “story telling” to be “disrespectful” or other complaints that he ‘doesn’t focus on the victim enough’
He’s a former Navy Seal. My aunt dated one once. They are quite literally trained in a way to squash all empathy that they might have towards a ‘victim’ (target). That kind of thing is difficult if not impossible to unlearn.
All things considered, I feel like he does a good job of telling what happened succinctly. The videos can’t all be an hour long. He’s doing the best he can.

Actually, if you end up seeing this. I have a hate scenario for the like button you may wish to use.
“But, before we get into today’s story, if you’re a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format. Then you’ve come to the right place, because that’s all we do, and we upload 2, 3 even 4 times every week. So, if that’s of interest to you, go over and knock on the like button’s door and ask to borrow their sugar for a baking project. But, before returning their sucrose-filled centrifuge, dump it all out and replace it, with salt.”

Mr Ballen is so good at telling stories in a way that constantly has you asking “What is happening?” and “What’s going to happen?”. It’s like peeling tape off to reveal a hidden picture

I love this dudes content, but his ‘like button’ part of the intro has always escaped me since i started watching. Id rather hear the person ask me one time to like their video if i enjoyed it.

Mr. Ballen has educated all of us to NOT go into underwater or “death” caves.
@KieraCraft

“Do you know how to get to bells canyon.” thats the story every og viewer knows word by word. No question in my mind. If you dont know it then youre not a real og fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format.

This may be stupid to say, but I’m so happy that he’s made it like this. Being on a “show” that “A listers” are on is fakkin’ kickass. I kept seeing the thumbnail, but had no idea until now that he landed here.

Proof that MrBallen is an absolute natural at storytelling! I was hoping he’d sit down to do one of these Wired interviews, and it was well worth the wait! Bells Canyon is a classic! The like button is always in fear when MrBallen is around LMAO
