- Hey, good humans.
It's Evan.
Thanks so much for tuning
into this episode of Expert Amateur Fraud
an amazing new series created by our director, John.
And please stick around after the episode
for a special offer from our sponsor Raid
my personal favorite mobile game.
But until then, here's the episode.
(brushing)
- If you remember in childhood, whenever a friend would play
with your hair, it was a very soothing, soothing thing.
Or maybe it wasn't, maybe it was too much of a hassle.
(intro music)
- Hey everyone, I'm a Motoki.
- and I'm Mel.
- and today we have a brand spanking new series
right here on Jubilee.
- So what is the series about?
- Basically our goal is to figure out
who's faking it and who the real expert is.
Today we have a very special episode.
ASMR
- What?
- Hello everybody
- My name is Cardi B.
(chewing)
(eggs cracking)
(crunching)
(fingers tapping)
- My name is Grace.
I'm 20 years old and I am a full-time ASMR content creator.
- My name's Truc.
I'm 20 and I'm a full-time college student.
- My name is Sharon.
I'm 26 years old and I do marketing.
- [Host] What is ASMR?
- It's basically just visuals and audio
That can create relaxation.
Some people describe it as kind of like a numbing
like goose bump sensation that they can experience.
- A lot Of times it's like whispering
or people are doing small taps on things.
- I think the whole point of ASMR is just like
create like a pleasant experience for someone.
- [host] Are there any stereotypes associated with ASMR.
- Yes, I think people think that there's maybe
like a arousal component related to it
- There are over 300 ASMR videos uploaded an hour
to YouTube, but those are just small, small percentage
of the amount of triggers that are out there.
- So today we're gonna be listening
to three different performances to figure out who's who.
Are you ready for our first performance?
- Yeah, let's do this.
- All right, here we go.
- Okay.
(mel laughing)
So the first thing that we are going to do that I
like to start out with is mind and body connection.
A tad bit of mindfulness, So being aware
of mind and bodies, sensations, thoughts, tension.
We tend to carry a lot of tension in our face.
So being able to just relax the brow bones
whether you're scrunching your forehead, your nose
whether you're making a fist with your hands.
Just being able to be present
and aware and sometimes
that's hard
to do, To do, to do.
So the first thing, trigger,
that is quite popular
That I think I'm going to, is mic brushing.
So it's as simple as brushing the mic
some people enjoy it others don't.
left side.
I dunno if that sounds too low.
We can actually grab a hair brush
(brushing)
if you remember in childhood,
whenever a friend would play with your hair,
or your mom would do your hair in the morning.
It was a very soothing, soothing thing.
Or maybe it wasn't, maybe it was too much of an hassle
but sometimes people like to add in trigger words.
Trigger words are words that are just relaxing.
Some people like the word milk.
Relax.
Sleep.
Breathe in a phrase
If it's okay after a long hard day.
Knowing that it's going to be okay.
now this one a lot of people enjoy.
(scissors squeaking)
snip snip like getting a haircut.
(scissors squeaking)
one of the last things, I'll be bold
is the pop rocks
my hands are shaky so I don't know if I can,
get any lets see.
(candy clattering)
(candy popping)
some people enjoy it
(candy popping)
Some do not
I like to end with affirmations.
which is things along the lines of
It's okay not to be okay.
Know that you are loved, that you are love.
And if nobody's told you today
know that I am so very proud of you.
its going to be okay.
That its going to be okay.
That its going to be okay
(chair scraping)
- Wow.
Like I don't wanna talk loud.
(Motoki laughing)
- Yeah, I, I know
- That was crazy.
- I, I just didn't know what to expect.
- Oh. At the beginning it was like too much.
I was like, what is this?
- I think my body just didn't know.
Couldn't choose between like, should I like relax?
Like it felt like a guided meditation or should I just
Like I felt tingly the whole time.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I like, kind of started getting into it a little bit
especially near the end where she's like,
words of affirmation.
- Yeah.
- And I was like, oh, okay.
She definitely brought up some like key words
like triggers, like that's a big thing with an ASMR, right.
Going from like left channel to right channel.
- Yeah.
- I felt like she had a good grip of things.
The only parts that I was like, mm I don't know
is when she was like, some people like don't like this.
I don't know what she's like kept saying, I don't know.
- Yeah. For me, if I had to categorize her
it'd be I'll actually put her under expert or amateur.
I don't think she's a fraud.
- I would say expert right now.
- Okay.
- Just right now, Yeah.
- [Host] Do you think your expertise came across
during that show?
- I, I mean, I hope that it did.
- Are you ready for performance number two?
- Yeah. My ears are ready.
They're tingled up.
- Here we go
(container rattling)
(food crunching)
(chewing)
(celery snapping)
(celery stretching)
(celery snapping)
(crunching)
(chewing)
(ice clacking)
(metal scraping)
(Soda opening)
(soda pouring)
(soda fizzing)
(sipping)
(exhaling)
(chewing)
(chair thumps)
- Wow
Yeah, that person was hungry.
- Yeah.
(Motoki laughing)
- I could hear the saliva and she's like, I think it's
I think it's a she, but it made me feel
- You can tell somebody's gender by their eating.
- Maybe for me when I was listening to it,
Like I started salivating.
- Oh. - And I, I, I was like
I felt like I was mimicking the moves.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I consider myself an amateur.
I really like food, so being able to watch people
just like eating food makes me feel like
I'm eating the food itself, so.
- I'm not, I'm just gonna jump the gun and say that
I think this is the amateur.
- Me too.
- Or sorry maybe not the amateur.
- The The fraud.
- The fraud.
- Yeah, based on the first person,
there was more like a routine.
- Mm.
- Right I felt this person was like
oh, there's this thing, I'll
I'll do this with this, this food.
I don't, oh, then there's a soda.
- Yeah.
- But then
- Yo, like the soda, that was too much.
- Think that was too much. - Like the
(tongue click)
- I think I nailed like the
the fizzy drink when I like poured it.
That was, I thought, I thought that was pretty
good. So,
- Well I kinda liked it cause when the, the pouring happened
I was like, I thought I was being like going
down this water slide and the waves were just hitting me.
- [Host] How do you feel the performance went?
- I did have some hiccups, but I think I did well.
I did everything that I like wanted to do,
So I would say like, I would give myself like a good job.
- Hey, it's me.
Welcome, welcome to
(fingers fluttering)
Sharon Shares.
I welcome some flutters and tingles.
Tingles for you.
(fingers fluttering)
Today I'm gonna share with you
about my travels to New Zealand.
(fingers fluttering)
I went to the north island
(hair brushing)
holding you in suspense There.
Let me take out my travel journal and share with you.
(scraping)
(pin clicking)
I went sand boarding for the first time and it was awesome.
(pen scribbling)
Then I went to
Lake Taupo, Taupo, Taupo,
and there I saw Fireworks.
Fireworks.
(paper tearing)
Then I went to Wellington
which is the most south part of the north island.
(hair brushing)
(toy brushing)
But I had a fantastic time, time, time.
So many adventures.
(toy thumping)
Now what type of traveling gives you the tingles?
(slime squishing)
Thank you for joining me.
Flutters away.
(fingers fluttering)
- I, I loved that.
- Really?
- I was so into that.
- Hmm.
- Why? What do you, what do you think?
What do you think?
- I'm torn.
- I felt like I was on the scene with her.
- Mhmm mhmm
- Like it felt very real almost
as if like she was my girlfriend, you know
like cuddle up next to me in the bed or something, you know
like telling me like an interesting story.
- That is true.
- but also, yeah
that's just maybe I'm lonely and sad.
- It's funny because I've never done it before
but thought it'd be fun to try and maybe I'll be the expert.
Who knows?
- I felt like with those
like flutters that she was doing with her fingers
that felt so like she's practiced that before.
- Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
- I was like, yo, this might be the expert.
- I know, but I'm torn though.
I enjoy the storytelling aspect, but I didn't feel
as like tingly as I did as the first one.
Like it's more like a body sensation.
Like a body high
- [Host] Based on performance one, two, and three,
Where are your head's at for who is who?
- Okay. I think we're both
in agreement that the second one is probably the fraud.
- The second one was just, they were just hungry.
That's all.
- Yeah, which I could relate to, you know?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'm always hungry. I feel like I'm on the fence.
But are you ready to meet the performers?
- I don't even know what to think, but yes, let's do it.
- [Host] Performers come on in and then face our hosts.
- Oh, you said two
- Hello? Hello.
- hey
- I'm already shocked.
- Well, number one, I really liked your performance.
There are only certain moments that I was like
kind of doubting if you were the expert or not.
- Okay. - If I had to take a guess,
I would say that you are the amateur.
so that's what I'm gonna guess.
- The whole time.
I felt tingles all up my body
and so that's why I gave you the expert.
- I lived vicariously through you.
My stomach started rumbling a little bit
but I would have to say that you are the fraud.
- My guess is you're also a fraud.
Yeah.
- [Host] Performer Three, raise your hand.
- Hello. - Last one in the room here.
- I think for me, when I think of ASMR, I think
of something more intense in terms of like the sound.
So that's what I got from Grace.
But yours is more soothing and gentle
so that's why I gave you amateur.
- I actually really loved yours.
I would have to give you expert.
- Cool.
- [Host] On the count of three,
reveal your true skill level.
One, two, three
- Okay.
(Mel gasps)
Wow. Okay.
- What? the fraud.
- The fraud for sure.
- What the heck? - I got duped for sure.
- I say I'm honored by the thoughts of you guys.
Glad I could pull off expert.
- Yeah.
- Honestly, my goal was to like hopefully
just not be seen as a fraud.
It's good to know that, that there is hope
and chance for me to be ASMR artist.
- How long have you been doing ASMR for?
- For closer to three years now.
- Wow.
- Wow,
- Wow, I was zero for three.
- Wait seriously?
- They both guess fraud sadly.
But that was really fun. I really enjoyed that.
- It was really interesting to be able to see the dynamic
between the two in here.
Feedback because ASMR isn't just black and white.
So I really enjoyed being able to hear their perspectives
and triggers, so to speak, that they both enjoyed.
- This is so much fun.
- Tear break
(scissors cutting)
- Thank you so much to our
ASMR artists and thank you to our sponsor.
