Happy Trees-Pink sunsets - Soft Clouds -- Unwind with Bob Ross



Now, our suggested remedy for Election Stress Disorder is by no means a cure. Allowing Bob Ross, host of the epic PBS series “The Joy of Painting,” to guide you through a Majestic Mountain tutorial is akin to listening to arbitrarily soothing ambient noises thanks to a random YouTube channel. The science behind ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) videos ― intended to lull their audience into a tingly state of momentary pleasure ― is slim.

But anecdotally speaking, watching Bob Ross helps. At no point during his less-than-30-minute segments does he ever broach the subject of politics. Instead, he paints sunsets and mountains and happy little trees. His voice feels like an aural epsom salt bath, candles and everything.

More episodes to lull you into a semi-catatonic state at:

He said that when he retired, that he never wanted to raise his voice again. As we sat and watched Bob paint, it was sort of hypnotizing - and he never raised his voice!
