A special ASMR & Beer episode dedicated to the passing of the late actor / comedian / father Robin Williams as well as all those we have lost to suicide and depression. I share a modest review of Duvel Belgian Ale, nibble on some baklava and discuss a wide range of topics regarding suicide and depression while ending on a high note as we remember the laughter that Robin Williams brought so many of us through his art.
Stay well and be kind to one another.

What is ASMR? Why am I whispering?
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current (non-scientific) name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering and personal attention.
My videos are not only meant to help induce ASMR or "tingles", but also help provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer while helping to provide anxiety relief, stress relief, insomnia relief, to help those suffering with PTSD or depression, serve as a study aid and much more.
