- This is my authentic reaction to Ren, Money Game Part 3. I'm a teacher and the resolution that I think Ren is trying to set here really hit home for me. I decided to make this basically an unedited reaction.

My philosophy is teach kids how to think, not what to think. Great reaction.
But - intruducing them to things to think about...that is part of that too.
👌🏻
You have had the best reaction to this trilogy. Just so spot on. Nice to know we still have caring teachers. You have restored my faith actually. Thanks so much!!
Jimmy is just a metaphor for ourselves.
100% agree with you!
💯
Word.
You sound like a great teacher. I am happy there are teachers that still teach this way.
I think that this reaction shows that you chose your profession wisely, certainly some lucky kids at your school!
There was no rambling. I feel more than comfortable saying that a large part of Ren's influence/inspiration is that he provokes legitimate dialog. Not small talk, but dare I say actual rhetoric! There's so much sugar-coated fluff out there that I don't think many of us realize just how culturally starved we are for actual meaning and substance. And he is the real thing, IMNSHO. Don't think I didn't notice the change of content on the easel in the background! ;-) Looks pretty good, BTW. I think your students are in very capable hands. Cheers!
Nice catch haha does look good 👍🏽
Oh rain rain rain rain…
The first time I saw this during the premiere I just sat in shocked silence afterwards and the only coherent thought I could think was that if Netflix doesn’t give this master storyteller his own show, they’re fools.
Since then one of the things that gets me the most is the father telling a FIVE YEAR OLD to learn to be a man. No child at that age should think about anything but being a child. Far too many reactors let that part slide, but it really says so much about the toxic parenting. If you let those first words from the father properly sink in, it’s not so surprising that things only get worse from there. Unfortunately Jimmy ends up living for his father’s approval. He hangs on his every word and follows his guidance so much that he gets completely lost when the father is no longer there. So instead of finding freedom, he spirals. And Jimmy is just an exaggerated version of all of us. It could be anyone under the money bag, blinded by greed, with the wrong guidance and pressure.
Ren makes it so painfully clear that we really must instill the right values in children before it’s too late. And we all need to do better TOGETHER if we don’t want greed to destroy us all. So much wisdom, and he shares it all through clever rhymes, genius storytelling, and beautiful music. A truly special artist and one that the world needs 🐰🕳️
Also just a little info to end this on a lighter note: there is one cut when the camera goes behind the wheelchair, but it’s because Ren only had the one custom suit and could hardly make everyone involved wait for it to dry between takes 😅 And really, that section is still pretty long to have to practice and nail to perfection. The entire video is just a masterpiece in direction, coordination, and execution to fulfill a vision. No wonder Sam and Ren won an award for it.
Nice write-up. 😎
Dude, I remember that staring and silence after the first time I watched this too. Wow. I really resonated with your reaction - first thing I did after watching this was to sit down next to my boys (3 and 5 at the time) and say “I love you, and I’m proud of you.” And since that day I’ve eschewed capital gain in deference to personal connection and fulfilment and I’m a much happier person for it (as in turn are my family).
I don’t know you outside your reactions, but I believe you’re doing a great job man. Keep fighting the good fight ✊
Beauty will save the world
This 🎶 is an example and yours and our thoughts and interest in encouraging that in others are so important
In another life, I taught public school for 25 years. I also taught history among other subjects. This should be a topic for all schools. You said the key thing. It’s about happiness. And this dude Ren….you are starting to see who he is. His talent and message is just life changing to me.
Omg great reaction, it wasn’t rambling at all, it was thoughtful and insightful. I sincerely appreciate how you question yourself, as we all should, not neurotically but in a healthy way. The people who need to be introspective right now are deliberately choosing not to be. You don’t need to impose your values on to your students. You can to teach them how to be curious and how to process information, and how to be introspective in a healthy way, or empathetic, etc. there are so many good things to learn from the subjects you teach, that’s freaking amazing ❤you are appreciated!
love your reactions....thanks.
I am 65 years old....wish I had a teacher like you
Wish there were more teachers like you out there!! Great reaction 😊
This reaction is really something. It's a snapshot of the power of music in action. Here's a teacher touched, and maybe changed a little, by a song. Some small part of that will likely spill over into his work, thus touching the lives of many children. A rising tide indeed!
Great reaction man!
Fantastic reaction to this incredible masterpiece! There was one cut, when they went behind the wheelchair, to facilitate moving and waterproofing Ren's microphone and because of the water. Ren only had one suit so they could only do the part with the water once 💜💜
Money game 1 explained the game . Money game 2 told us how you can win on the games terms . Money game 3 shows us what you win if you use money as your only criteria for success. Jimmy had no relationships with anyone . Even his mother had been sidelined from his existence. I dont think Ren is against money as much as he is for community ,friendship ,love . Look at the way Ren has brought his community with him . I dont think those people who he loves would ever let him make the same mistakes as Jimmy. I think he just wants us to check our priorities and look after each other because money and fame wouldn't be worth it otherwise.
Thanks great reaction.
The money game 3 video is a stark reminder to us all that the pursuit of wealth can get out of hand! We need to find a balance! As a community, as parents, as educators, as role models, we need to reinforce core values! Money means different things to everyone but eventually you realize all the money in the world means nothing without health, family, friends, and all the simple pleasures in life! Ren is such a visionary with his music videos! Thank you for reacting to this and for your contributions as a teacher! 🎉🎉🎉
No rambling at all! I think Ren's video evoked the kind of contemplation he was looking for. So, great reaction! Always happy to see more reactions.
Ya need to react to Ren's "Troubles"(eventually I know you're a busy dude) its literally HIS story, and one of the best yet imo.
💯
personally the acoustic version of troubles is my favorite, but that is probably just because I love hearing just Ren and some acoustic guitar.
One of the best reactions to date, Peach.
💯agree
Was waiting for this reaction from you as I know you’re a passionate educator and knew it would hit close to the heart for you. You’ve found your calling, sir, for I would’ve loved to have had the kind of guidance you spoke of. I am sincerely hopeful that you get gratification in knowing you’ve made a difference. Wonderful reaction, thank you 🤘🤟
I can see how hard this one was for you, as a child, an adult and teacher. Your kids are lucky to have you. This is by far my favourite reaction to this video 🫶🏻
Mg3 physically acts the other parts out. 1st example is the mirror and removal of the money bag is the physical demonstration of "point the mirror at ourselves we're all part of this old money game" lyric. There's also turns a saint into a sinner, a child into a killer; actual rain for the rain rain rain rain 🌧️ lyric, the spinning globe is as the world turns, the whole world burns, and there's a literal finger on the trigger in the video. There are others in there also. Love the reaction ❤
BTW there is one hidden cut as the camera pans around the wheelchair (good catch). It was necessary to move the lav mic from the lapel to the tie so Ren could remove the jacket in case a second run through was needed (not enough time for the jacket to dry) . I recommend the BTS by Wolf Johnson if you want to see the process involved in making these 1 take videos. Mg3 was a true one take. This is the first and only run through of the mg3 video ❤
Part 1: The System.
.
Part 2: The method.
.
Part 3: The analogy (with potential consequences).
Great reaction brother. Happy to have followed ya on this journey. Ren is definitely bringing hard messages with his music, but it's much needed messages. Love your take on it.
I want to say first that i’ve had some great teachers and i admire good teachers who are passionate about education. It sounds like you are one of these teachers. I have only known one professor’s politics and that was in college. I also want to say that i think it’s up to you to decide if you’re greedy-only you know. Last, i think it’s great that Ren’s lyrics make you (and me, too) self-reflect and be more aware of what influences us and maintain some separation from those influences. I think his overall goal in the money game series was to do just that. A key phrase for me is ‘put your hand inside the cookie jar, take MORE than you need.’
We've lost the distinction between "MORE" and "enough"
Great commentary! I wish there were more teachers like you❤❤❤
I loved your reaction - you get it! I really hope Ren sees this x
Btw there’s a really interesting behind the scenes video by wolf Johnson showing how it was filmed
👀👀👀👀 is that a ren painting in the background
Looks just like one of his pictures, I'm sure it is.
When I was teaching U.S. History (8 years, before resigning in 2020...for obvious reasons), I was a fan of saying: "I'm not here to teach you what to think. My goal here is to help teach you how to think."
You were fighting against the trend of the internet headline readers.
.
I fear it's a lost cause.
Ironic that the generations with easy, Instant access to the greatest repository of knowledge ever are manipulated into the confirmation bias of headline "opinions" which when shared between many outlets serve the purpose of confirming that "everyone says so therefore it's true", without even opening the articles to discover they are literally "the same".
What an amazing reaction! Ren is an amazing artist. Thank you for doing more Ren.
I worked at a college that transitioned later-in-life people into teachers. We never had an empty seat when we first started trialing the program locally & it grew bigger every year. I can’t tell you how many people were like you, switching careers to follow their happiness. I’m glad you found a way to make the change. 💜
Great reaction! Don’t worry about pausing or taking the time to reflect. We especially love hearing you tie in your thoughts to your teaching.
I loved the piano and string composition in this! It added such a cinematic element. This could be adapted into a stage production. Ren is a master storyteller.
I like that Ren’s focus throughout the money game series isn’t really about the money, but how we value it and how it is used. But he always cautions us not to point fingers, but to engage in self-reflection as well. We are all a part of the money game. And if we keep going down the same path, things won’t be pretty. As a history teacher, I know you see that we have a hard time learning from the past. But hopefully thought provoking artists like Ren and others can inspire the next generation to shift the focus towards homeostasis.
I also see this as another example of generational trauma. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Screech was born James, and presumably so was Jimmy. Screech was born into nothing. Jimmy was born into privilege. But both suffered from trauma and didn’t receive a loving and nurturing upbringing. The lack of a safe and loving home and learning the wrong lessons early on sent them both into tragic downward spirals.
And MG3 ends with the line from the Tales, “it’s such a shame.” If Jimmy had found a way to break away from his father’s psychological control, imagine what he could have accomplished and the ways he could have built up the community around him. I think that’s a core message in a lot of Ren’s music.
A song suggestion from Ren’s earlier catalogue that I think you would appreciate as a teacher is “Dominoes.” It’s a great song and a great message. It’s likely one that you would want to share with your students.
This is possibly the best reaction to Money Game Pt 3 that I have seen - and I have seen probably 100+ LOL. Thank you. Thank you for an incredible reaction- I concur with literally everything you said. I understood the song in the very same way you did and it's a great feeling, I could never express it as eloquently as yourself though :). As a parent myself I can totally relate to the angle of a teacher, someone that younger generations look at for advice and guidance. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you are a teacher, those kids are so lucky! I hope you find joy and fulfilment in your work with the little ones.
I got so excited when your video appeared in my feed this morning! Your reactions are worth the wait. No rambling at all. Just honest, heartfelt expression of thoughts and emotions.
I agree with everything you mentioned. I recently spoke at my local high school's career day. I'm a 62 yr old woman who floundered through life career-wise and am now starting self-employment as a creative entrepreneur. I emphasized following your passsions and seeking employment that aligns with your interests and values over just making money, and if you can't find a job that suits you, create your own. I'd love to see more vocational and trade schools. I don't know how many schools teach the basics of providing for yourself nowadays. My senior year we were given the option to take business math (learning budgeting and how to balance a checkbook). We also had home economics and typing electives but that was in an all-girl private Catholic high school. I was a poor Protestant kid on scholarship.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us! 🙋♀️💖
Thank you for your insightful reaction and comments. I wish more teachers were like you.
Thanks! There is nothing wrong with being ambitious.
My thoughts from Ren’s message: Money has an unintended distorting effect on our natural inclination to make holistic choices about transactions we make. Money should be about what human value and positivity you can create from your time on this rock not the end in itself. It creates capacity for value but is not the value. Loved the reaction
Great reaction! Please word vomit any time your thoughts are deep and well developed. It’s refreshing to hear your philosophy on teaching and comforting to know you are out there for our youth.
Really good, sincere reaction friend. Feels like it is so destructive individually, to society and globally that we have lost track of what it is to value ourselves, others and our home. There are more meaningful and fulfilling ways of ascribing value than money, ways that humanise rather than dehumanise.
Amazingly insightful reaction. I really appreciate your willingness to dive deep into the insightful and open side of yourself. I self reflected in the same way. Which is part of Rens goal imo. I'm elated to follow and appreciate a new artist that tries endlessly to help us all reflect, not only on ourselves, but the world around us.
Great reaction, thank you. Ren is incredible, he always makes you think, and ramble, lol. ❤❤❤
I am a father of a boy (14 years old) I think teachers SHOULD educate and influence our youth! But raising the children is for parents to do, the school today tries to do both. Teachers are so important to our future society but politicians do not understand that in any country. greetings from Sweden
You are a very thoughtful person, your students are very lucky to have you.
Your “rambling” was very moving and added a nuanced perspective on Ren’s money trilogy. It seems to me that you have found a good balance in your life.
As a Renegade, I look forward to your reactions, particularly to Ren.
I appreciate your take on being a teacher and trying not to impose your beliefs on students. Teaching kids to think is so important, and respecting their varied and different opinions is so valuable.
Great reaction period. Your thoughts after were brilliant too and honest. Awesome.
That motif that you mentioned hit me the same the first time I watched this. It immediately made me think of Goodfellas because its sounds similar to the riff from Layla that was used in that movie. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a conscious decision on Ren's part, given the lyrics during that part of Money Game 3.
I respect you big time! Thank you for what you believe and do!
I still think you should check out Ren - Eden. The ending is Ren speaking directly about his thoughts on society’s role and what it should or could be in “The Money Game”
Thank you for your authentic and thoughtful reaction, definitely the best ive seen ❤
This was a great reaction (until the end of your video).
Please never change your style (because of a few negative statements), I really appreciate your thought process, as an individual and as a teacher!
Ren impressed me in ways I can't explain, which made it even harder for me to follow mainstream music.
A lot of what we hear these days is so superficial and stupid, there are few artists left that I can consciously listen to and Ren is an artist that I enjoy listening to and watching, he encourages me to use my mind and always touches the heart and soul - a very rare combination that I greatly appreciate.
Thank you Peach❤👏👏👏👏
Greetings from Germany 👍🤝🙋♀️
He rehearses until it's in his bones! The bts by The Wolf Johnson is so interesting. There are 2 videos, one longer than the other. They show rehearsals, funny stuff, piano practise etc.
Please watch Ren's 8 Chapters on Renmakesstuff. Dont need to react, but pkease witness his journey with us. It is videos documenting his 8 year nightmare with his illness. Very powerful,detailed and brutally honest, hard but beautiful and full of inspiration. Man's a warrior. The newest song Troubles is meant to summarize the Chapters.
Good job Teach!❤
💯
Love your perspective as a teacher. 👨🏫 What's important is the conversation and the awareness this brings. Taking the blinders off, looking in the mirror. One of the reasons Ren flows with the music so well is because he composed it all. (1st 4 piano bars was a Grieg piece) So he sets the tone, the mood and the beat. There was that one hidden cut behind the wheel chair because of logistics. One other when bag comes off his head. It was a tinderbox in there. I imagine he was dripping wet, so he had to dry off.
There was one cut, the one behind the chair. REN had one suit and the microphone also needed to be protected from rain…. So best place for cut, unfortunately one instrument accidentally became wet. Kudos to the lady who held her instrument close but did not move.
@@QueenBabylonnia There's actually 2 cuts, per Sam himself at a recent award show. It was 100 degrees in the warehouse when they filmed. The cut is when he takes the bag off his head. He was probably soaked. They probably had to dry him off and then continue. If you look close you can see the difference in his hair before and after the cut.
It sounds like you're a pretty amazing teacher, I know that's a difficult job. I'm glad you enjoyed this one - it's a true work of art!
Your reaction was utterly captivating, and that you shared so much of your golden heart with us as you did? Exquisite!!
Wow thank you! Actually useful reactions from anyone ever for me!😮 You descrbeid so much how I felt but couldnt put into words😧 ❤ Im also absolutely certain you're amazing teacher! Thank you on everyones behalf!🫡
Great to see there are individuals like you helping our kids to think critically and care deeply, and also I personally have really enjoyed watching your Ren journey, and listening to all your reflections...you get my mind going as well, I almost talked back at things you were saying today as if you could hear me.... 😅
I have been eagerly awaiting your reaction to the culmination of the trilogy and you did not disappoint. I think your students are fortunate to have a teacher like you. You remind me of a favourite teacher of mine from my junior high school years. He had been an officer commanding an artillery battery in the Korean War and would often regale us with stories of his time overseas. At times, the whole lesson hour would pass with no actual teaching being done and yet we all felt enriched by his tales of adventure and perseverance. It was history taught through story telling and it worked. I became an avid student of history and it is a passion of mine to this day. Ren too, is a teacher of sorts and also educates through the art of story telling. Thank you for a very enjoyable analysis.
New subscriber; been loving the Ren reactions! 🙏 I see a lot of people that understand the message of the Money Game trilogy, but miss who and what he's telling us about. It's important to clarify that success & achievement are not inherently bad by themselves. Similarly, money itself isn't bad. Its when those pursuits come at the cost of others. For example: someone can be at the top of their field, earning far more money than they need to live -- that's not a bad thing if they worked their butt off to get there. In most cases, people don't dictate how much money they make; that is decided (in most cases) by how valuable what they do is *TO OTHER PEOPLE*.
In your case specifically, the fact you have the ability to monetize multiple channels means that you're providing content that is good enough that people choose to consume it. Even the channels with content you don't particularly enjoy, you're fulfilling a need for others. People choosing to consume your content is not a exploitative relationship. That's not a bad thing, you're putting things out into the world that enhance it.
Ren makes us cognizant of the Money Game, and the insight he gives us is important and valuable to be aware of. It shouldn't discourage anyone from doing the work they do, so long as they're not stepping on others just to benefit themselves.
✌, ❤, & Ren
Wow what a great reaction dude! Love your reflections on this and how each of us can take something from it to either improve ourselves or how we interact with others. None of it is rocket science, we all know these things, but rens storytelling helps to clear those lines that are so often blurred, and he does it with impact and relates it to everyone
Jimmy is just a metaphor for ourselves.
Excellent reaction. Spot on. I think your students are lucky to have you. I’m glad my parents taught me to provide for myself and my family. They never put pressure on me and always told me how much they loved me and how proud they were. I fell, cleaned my knees and hands and started over. Thank you for your reaction
Thank you for this reaction, I really liked it. I see Ren as holding up a mirror to everyone, and everyone sees something in him that speaks to them personally.
I watched your reaction to Money Game backwards. Anyway, I came back here because you said you liked the continuation of the chorus from part one into part two. In an interview, (wish I could remember which - maybe Knox Hill) Ren said that he liked that he was able to bring that chorus into part three with the visuals: the mirror, the rain and the trigger are all there. Kudos also to Samuel Perry Falvey for being a great filmmaker
Such balanced intelligent foresight, we desperately need more teachers like you. More and more parents are homeschooling their children and if my children were school age now I would also homeschool them, too much memorise and repeat teaching and knocking all critical thought out of them going on.
Yes, the negative indoctrination is becoming the norm in schools from the policies, admin and teachers.
These are the best reactions I've seen to the MG series. You 'get it' ... and your openness and honesty in exploring the material as it relates to yourself is truly thought provoking. I think Ren would be so happy with your take on his work.
+1 sub and beating the heck outta that bell, Peach.
Let's look to make changes in the world. Because, if music doesn't make a change... then what's even the point? Ren makes music that matters... the least we can do is carry it forward into action. Or, at least, growth.
Much love to you, a true fellow Renegade, from ALL the UK Renegades o/ o/ o/
I think your students are very lucky to have you. Enjoying watching your evolution with every Ren video. Thank you for the honestly and authenticity. The world needs more of that.
Very honest reaction! There is even an “external” conclusion to the Moneygame trilogy. This is "Eden" by Ren. It's the end of a guessing "moneygame" that Ren had been running... It's available as a complete stream recording of the resulting treasure hunt or can be seen individually.
I think from your comments here, that you've learned about yourself through this Money Game series, and that Ren did what he intended and made you think. I applaud you for following your heart and becoming a teacher. Then knowing how you want to teach is to equip your students to think for themselves and go the direction that gives them satisfaction and happiness not to train them to become sheep. I feel that that's 'success' in itself. Ren really is an all around genius. I appreciate your comments and point of view and have subscribed to hear more of your thoughts. (I wish I had more teachers like you when I was coming up) Thank you.
It’s always a joy to hear the different interpretations of reactors with different backgrounds and professions . And it’s very important to realize as an educator to know the way that you teach can be impactful throughout a young person’s life. I had some teachers who seemed to think of what they were doing as only a job, they seemed indifferent. Never thinking about how their lack of interest could affect the experience of learning for the students they failed to engage with. You appear to be not one of those teachers. Kudos to you. Thank you for your Ren reaction. 😊
An award winning masterpiece for both Ren and Samuel congrats to them. Thank you for an awesome reaction. 🙂
This was great, thank you for sticking with all of us on your Ren journey ❤
I’ve gone through a bunch of your reactions, have you done chalk outlines with Chinchilla? Their harmonizing is incredible . 🍻🇨🇦
Thank you for such a real reaction and for being a teacher who clearly cares about others and we absolutely should all self reflect
I wish i had teachers like you bro, And i hope that my kids get teachers like you!
I remember you saying a little while ago that you don't know what people see in Ren, And now here we are all on the Ren train together haha.
Perfect reaction brother! And please never stop being you...
By sharing Ren you will definitely light the passion of creativity in your students. It's what Ren does.
What a great rain. I really enjoy hearing your rights. And I'm super happy we have teachers like you ❤
His message is predictable but so much more influential the way ren tells it vs most people. The amount of little awesome details in this video are amazing and the camera work and sound design is top notch. I love lots of rens songs but this is towards the top.
So glad you got to watch this and it was so meaningful to you. You seem like a genuinely good guy. Appreciate and respect you. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Ren is Truly a Once in a Multi-Generational Artist on the Level of Shakespeare. He is a Performance Art Master who blends music and character acting from all the styles over the last 500 years and makes it Modern and Relatable to all Generations even if normally you may not be a fan of whatever genre he is currently performing. From Location and Video Directing Worthy of Tarantino or Spielberg, to Lyrics Shakespeare would have been Proud to have Written, To an Emotional Performance on par with Marlon Brando or Morgan Freeman and the Musical Prowess of Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton and the Vocal Chops of Robert Plant or M&M! In Money Game Pt3 when offering His Solution to the Societal Issues he is showcasing, Ren stated "Mold will Grow upon the Surface and Consumes til it dies, and Our Fate could be the same without this Story to the Wise" The more I hear from Ren the more I realize his Solution is to be a Teacher Opening the Eyes of Millions with his Art and his Heart! And I think Ren's message is Crystal Clear. Ambition and Passion Without Compassion Will Cause the World To Burn! But Ambition and Passion WITH Compassion Can Save It! His Compassion is Manifestly Obvious and If enough of Us actually LISTEN to his words, then Maybe, Just Maybe the Hunan Race may Survive!
Great reaction, your take on this was excellent. You appear to have a great approach to this subject.
Keep up the good work
Great reaction and also great commentary at the end (the "word vomit"). I really appreciate it =D
What a wonderful Honest breakdown and self reflection. After hearing your beautiful dialogue I have subscribed. Keep up the great work. Your students are lucky and blessed to have you .
What a rarity...an Honest Teacher. Surely Ren would approve. Thanks.
History is most important, for if we do not learn the lessons from history, from the mistakes that were made, we are destined to repeat them....
You’re correct there was one cut when they go behind the wheelchair. They had to move the mic from his lapel to the tie and waterproof it. They only had one chance from there to get it right as Ren only had 1 suit and they didn’t have the time for it to dry and try again.
I’ve really enjoyed your journey with this trilogy. We can all improve ourselves by considering the message here. The money game is a large part of our lives and we should understand that impact and instead look at what is really important. You have the ability to change the next generation by leading them to understand the game but also find what makes them happy and makes the world a better place.
I couldn’t agree more with everything you said on the video and what you said about teaching. Much respect!
You're right onto it. I hope our grand kids watch this one day
Man there is not too much art that makes you genuinely feel things you didn’t even expect to feel like rens music, and isn’t that the goal of any music , any art , I don’t care whatever hights he reaches , this man should be studied and taught as much as Shakespeare, Vincent Van Gogh , Michael Angelo, any of the greats , cause this can’t be taught , only studies and noted as the highest level of art , and what actual art is supposed to be , I saw that in you on this reaction, was nice to see , you are a teacher , teach the kids , let them understand what’s possible when you are as great as you can be regardless of what main stream thinks or says , he’s not even signed to a label , and if he was , we wouldn’t get this , speak draw write your own truth , and people will feel it , just my opinion, great reaction, thanks
Tons of respect for you on this reaction. I agree with one of the other comments, one of the best reactions I’ve seen to this.
First Off: Just found you today and have binge watched your Ren journey. Thank you for getting it!. Enjoy the ride!
Now I want to point out some things... YOU IDENTIFY as a teacher. In every video you mention it at least a few times... and I think it is BEAUTIFUL. You are PROUD to be a teacher and you should be. Teaching is what you love. I think that your views on "Not Influencing" are coming from the right place and are noble..... BUT they need influence. Compassionate, empathetic understanding influence and I think you seem qualified to be that influence... as long as you TRY to stay away from any personal 'agenda.' Kids today still have these qualities BUT they hide them and they are experts at hiding them. They need to be told that it is okay to have deep thought and original ideas. I see MOST kids as just numb and trying to get through the day so they can isolate somehow ASAP.
Just my opinion and I do understand that it's a slippery slope... BUT these kids NEED to connect.
Great reaction, one of the best I’ve seen for this trilogy 😊 Keep going through his catalog, there’s SO MUCH content and it all varies so greatly genre wise that if you don’t care for one, the next one you’ll love.
REN's Genesis, Power, and Losing It are easier to swallow but still so deep.
Same reason I went into teaching. ❤❤❤ We are human, not perfect, I hope that my students learn to think for themselves and follow their passions and find true purpose in life.
You are awesome! Your reaction was awesome! Subbed for more Ren. 😊 As a woman, I consciously chose not to teach because I knew I would not be able to support myself and be independent. 😞 All part of the Money Game.
Yes, you are a teacher my friend and don’t forget that Jenn and Kease were only 14 years of age and even though they grew up in the system kids like that need teachers more than kids like Jimmy. Now they do say that if you have a job that you love, you, never feel like you worked the day in your life so I would think the most people that would be much more important.
Then driving a Ferrari because I know quite a few people that have shit loads of money and they got no family to speak of and no one really gives two cents about them unless they’re paying their mortgage or taking them on vacations regularly
The resolution of the trilogy with Jimmy, the "saint who became a sinner, child who became a killer" being unprotected from the rain, his "storm", mirroring the removal of the poncho in part 1 and with similar consequences.
❤️Great reaction. Thank you for being a caring teacher of our youth. ❤️
I was a drop up at 16
Dad was a hard a$$ .. Mom gave unconditional love
They both planted the seed … Be strong !!!
But don’t turn your back … and don’t judge
I see behind you that you are doing a painting of Ren 🤣, you've got it bad, welcome to the club, you're now a renegade. + to think you weren't sure vocally after Fred Again.
I realy enjoy your reactions, please do Murderer acoustic performance, Walking on the moon/no diggity with Sam Tompkins, Sexual Healing + One Dance/Drunk In Love, both with Chinchilla, Fire and Run Away both from the Freckled Angels albums, though neither have videos - just audio + from the big push, all of the videos on their channel are ace. Vast majority of Ren's stuff is top notch, though don't want to overload beyond what already suggested.
