@@CrowaxCursed. unfortunately i think thats their whole shtick is editing things to stir up controversy as it gets much more views that way.... they are a content creation machine but at least its giving people this opportunity
Great to see you on here Jaxon and massive well done for not letting the bullies and asshats bring you down. you seem like such a good dude and i hope you have a life filled with success buddy!
i’m about 45 minutes in and am very pleasantly surprised. this has been a fantastic conversation so far, and i think Lucas would be great, too. you should totally do it 😃
was so stoked to see Jaxon on here. Jaxon and I are the same age and I’ve been watching the react channel since I was around 11, so I’ve seen him grow and change along with the content of the react channel. thank you are having him on here.
I always love to see Jaxon in the React videos. I've seen many of him at different ages and I just find he's very articulate and level headed in his ways of giving his opinion. Wow! Newer boyband fans are brutal...
People definitely can be brutal. I once expressed that I don't get any emotional connection or a detailed meaning from Harry Styles's music catalogue (not taking away from his talent or anything just don'tfind pop music to be my cup of tea) and I was called tone deaf, dumb, a hater and a terrible person who no one likes
@@Nekogal21 I barely know who Harry Styles is (I'm almost Gen X... So a dinosaur... 😁). But when I was a teen, boy bands could easily be made fun of... People should just listen to what makes them happy and not care about other peoples opinions. Life is too short to be bothered with that.
I'm not fully done with the interview yet but I need to say, your Bluey shirt is absolutely amazing! Our generation of parents are so lucky our kids have that show to obsess over, it's so good! I'm super happy to see you have a conversation with Jaxon, he's been one of my favorite react kid, I can't believe he's already 19 ;^^
Glad you had Jaxon on. He’s always been one of my favourite reactors. He seems like a really great kid. Also has fucking immaculate hair. On their conversation about people wanting to know everything about content creators, there’s also the fact that content can be viewed at any times which is also a factor with these people who want to know more about the content creators.
This was a super interesting talk. Especially the "Frame of reference" part when you talked about the evolution of a person's taste of music. I can relate sooo much. One personal example: me, born 1980, have known about the existence of Slipknot since they became famous in the late 90s / very early 2000s. However I decided to ignore them, considering them as a bunch of rioters that just want to be hard and violent for the sake of being hard and violent. It took me until this year, 2023, me being 42, when I by accident stumbled over - guess what - Tanks reaction on the Teens REACT to Slipknot video that actually made me want to really discover Slipknot. What a ride! Thanks a ton to both of you guys!
This was a really fun podcast. It was nice listening to some of Jaxon's insight from his time working on the React channel. It's crazy to think he's been doing it for so long. I think I remember when FineBros first got big. So crazy it's been so long already. Now to see if you can help weasel Electric Callboy onto the react channel, muwahahahahahahaha XDDDD
That was a damn good interview... I had my thoughts on the React channel, and realized thanks to this that it still was influenced by the Fine Bros controversies, but now I am seeing them in a completely different light. So thanks for that Jaxon and Tank!
Thanks for the podcast Tank. Jaxon seems like a smart and likeable youngster. It was entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from the UK.
This was a somewhat off piste interview, but I'm enjoying it a lot. I don't consider myself a particularly shallow person, but even still it challenged my preconceptions. I don't know what I expected, but he seems so down to earth. It's a very interesting discussion.
This was really fun. Quite interesting seeing the generational trends and where I myself fit, because Tank is a bit older, and Jaxon is a bit younger. It's quite wild how life changed over the past 20 years.
The whole getting recognized in public bit, a blacksmithing content creator I watch called Alec Steele did some renovation videos of a house he bought and used it for content. He had to be very direct in one of those videos that if anyone who watches his channel recognises the house that they were NOT to turn up uninvited as he had to deal with a couple of people who did just that.
I remember when I was younger I really wanted to make it onto Teens React (although knew it'd never be possible since I wasn't based in the US) and watching those videos religiously! It's interesting to see this discussion and how the react channels all actually work. Also, I was wondering why I didn't really recognise Jaxon despite him being considered one of the longer term ones, before realising that 8 years ago was, in fact, 2015 by which point I'd long stopped watching the React channel (probably watched it from like 2010-2013, I know I stopped watching it before I started Uni end of 2013). Crazy to think they've been going so long! I also wanna say that I am one of the people who had no idea the Fine Bros sold the channel! The last I saw was the whole copyright scandal, so for me I still think of it as Fine Bros because that's just never been decoupled in my head.
I really wish the React channel had more diversity of reacters… because everyone is clearly from California and is west coast…. There’s no one from the South, Midwest or East Coast… so many different perspectives that could be represented… and not just people that were born elsewhere and moved to CA.. because those people have the CA mentality too… need people who still live in their roots…
I know I'm late to this but this was a really interesting podcast, I was really fascinated to see into both your thoughts on the perspective of being slightly famous and how you deal with that. As someone who isnt famous I was really interested to see how you both thought of your situations and how you 'cope' with it, It was really great to learn about and keep it up the pair of you, I love both your works and thats what drew me to this podcast and I wish you both the best and commend you on getting where you are.
My wife and I who are both older than..... well, let's just say I remember the Beatles breaking up...watch the React channel all the time and play along with the youngsters. This was a great show
Most random: we had CD guys hanging out at a supermarket at 8pm on a Tuesday, in a village of 3500 ; they were the type Tank described, hustling to get their band known, but ... a metal band? In that kinda place?!? Very random.
Idk if you’ll see this or not, but this is a question I’ve had for a while. I’ve been thinking about hanging up my favorite records, but I don’t know what’s the best way to do so. Would you mind sharing with me how you hang up your records so nicely?
Watched a couple videos on your channel and I enjoyed them! This was the first with a guest and I watched it because I’m a fan of Jaxon. If I may, I think there were moments when you maybe spoke too much
I feel like comments should be written in a way that you would not be embarrassed if anyone read it. I really wish people would be better, but this is the internet. Harper is so awesome, and I really hope that everything works out for her! I hope the industry doesn't ruin her. That school story is so wild. Lol I remember don't text me, only call me. Great video Tank!
46 yo here. I remember the tail end of the Cold War. Listen to Jesus Jones' "Right Here, Right Now" and optimism of a new era. Ten years later, we have 9/11 and the world changed again...
I would like to point out that sometimes it's the algorithm and the way people are being reccomended videos and not people searching this stuff out. Like I live in North Carolina and when I was on instagram I was reccomended a reel by a woman running for governor of Georgia
This was a great discussion (kind of reminded me of an older Joe Rogan show). Jaxon is an interesting and entertaining guy. Found this channel by accident while I was watching REACT vids, and was immediately impressed...Subscribed! 👍✌❤ Just looked up the Fine brothers and, many other serious accusations and incidents aside, trying to copyright the word "react" automatically makes them complete pieces of crap.💩
58:19 wait wait wait is the VIP including a meet&greet? I bought it for the early entry and extra support to the band but was a bit bummed about the lack of meet&greet (even though it's always so fuckin awkward engaging with people you don't know ;^^) but I would love if it was included 🥹
@@levischorpioen usually it's listed in the VIP informations but it was not on this one, so I figured it wasnt included. Considering Tank is greatly involved in the tour, I wonder if he misspoke or if it will be included even if not mentioned haha! I guess I'll see in september 😅
I watched the react/fine bros channel between 2011 and 2016 (something like that) and of course I remember Jaxon To say that the React channel is really popular isn't really true anymore, they have 20 milion subs and only about 100k views on the newer videos (a bunch milion for videos that are 4+ years old tho)
True. I watched around 2015-2018. I only checked it out again after some leave time at my job late last year. I did not realize all the problems the channel had and the exodus of behind the scenes folks, management folks and reactors in 2020. Tho I’m happy for them they seem to be doing better under new management. They may not be as popular as before but they still get consistent views.
One more thing... Im serial commenting lol . I always thought it was wierd when people hassled Michael jackson for covering his kids faces . They made him out to be a wierdo for that and i was like. No you're the weirdo for obssesing over his children
As a person that has lived in both ny and los Angeles (l.a currently) l.a is the better one by farrrrr. Ny york is way to crowded way more dirty. Way more expensive. your apartment might be 2,000 grand a month but at least in l.a you can have a bedroom and your own bathroom you dont have to share with the WHOLE FLOOR. Los angeles is way more manageable when you get into the groove. And people arent as rude. You can surf skateboard and snowboard all in the same day if you wanted. And if you are Business minded you have direct access to the actual MANUFACTUERS of products. NY is a place that plays with the money the rest of the country creates . Which is wall street. But all the economy there works in that fashion. True leach culture.
THANK YOU TANK FOR HAVING ME! MUCH LOVE MY GUY
You was great in this podcast. I wish you all the best and less stupid people in commentary section. Have a great day.
Man, some edits on react channel made you look bit arogant and annoying, sorry for being wrong, this was great conversation.

loving the Bluey shirt, dude. you are a perfect embodiment of the “metalheads are scary” meme right now 😂
Jaxon is carrying that react channel 😍
...along with the crew's creative ideas and challenges.
So uh that Bluey shirt is just gonna have to be this channel's official uniform from now on
I want that shirt so fuckin bad, bud.
OMG you got Jaxon!! Need to get my man Lucas on next
I was waiting for your comment lol. I second this!
Hell nah
DO IT.
i’m about 45 minutes in and am very pleasantly surprised. this has been a fantastic conversation so far, and i think Lucas would be great, too. you should totally do it 😃

I was surprised by AF to find out he was 19 because I'm also 19 I can't remember shit besides things here and there, my sense of time is garbage
Honestly such a fascinating kid and the stories were crazy.
Good on his parents for defending him like that, too!
Jaxon is a great human beeing, I´m wishing him all the best on his future way into life. His parents did a great job.
Agreed! He's humble
I always love to see Jaxon in the React videos. I've seen many of him at different ages and I just find he's very articulate and level headed in his ways of giving his opinion.

exactly what i was thinking.. how long does it take now for EC to show up on react XD
Now THAT was a really fun and interessting podcast !
And kudos to @JaxonHH : he is a really cool and nice guy !

With only the thumbnail I thought Jaxon would react to the podcast😂

Missing the hair and not wearing a V.G. shirt. 🤔😁
Looks good, bro 🙌
tank has gone dad mode.
Yeah Tank! Dad Body when? :D
I didn't really have any reason to watch this, did it through the end any way lol nice convo
I will forever be thankful i graduated high school well before the pandemic. Still kinda crazy its been 11 yrs since i graduated
I graduated highschool during the emergency phase of the pandemic in 2020 and let me tell you it was rough.
@@mymylauren im sure
This is so cool and interesting podcast. Jaxon is a fantastic young man. I wish him all the best. ❤
Yep, I've just went and bought one of those Bluey shirts..
You're gonna need to get an affiliate link now.
super fun episode!
My wife and I who are both older than..... well, let's just say I remember the Beatles breaking up...watch the React channel all the time and play along with the youngsters.
This was a great show
This was interesting to watch and hearing the story's that he told about his journey with React!!
Great content thanks for this
1:03:25 this kind of depression is worse than the regular kind because no one really thinks you have depression, and nothing is done about it.
Damn, i shave my head myself after having long hair for 30 years but then got bald spots. But never expected you to do that too, i like it😊
looks great........i love the fact to my girls watch the show , and my youngest is hoping to meet you at the L.A. show for callboy!!!!!!

i would love to see tank introduce him to metal. maybe a small series😄
either my Laptop had an upgrade or tank? looks good 👍
Aye the shaved head suits you my man, looks great.
I'll go check him out
I still don’t understand how there’s never been Cattle Decapitation on the Channel - Reaction or Podcast
They really need to bring jack the behind the screen channel that they had prior to switching over companies . That would be good.
Fully bald Tank WTF?
I would like to point out that sometimes it's the algorithm and the way people are being reccomended videos and not people searching this stuff out. Like I live in North Carolina and when I was on instagram I was reccomended a reel by a woman running for governor of Georgia
THATS a roadie friday shirt.
When I went to high school if you had a note from your parents you could smoke in the smoking area between buildings
