For me, this is Ren's best expression of his thoughts on money. It's not about money being bad, it's about money not being the goal. About being happy with yourself regardless of money because you live for life, and love, not to accumulate things that you can't take with you. I'm currently clearing out my parents house, and their lifetime of treasures are things most the family doesn't want, so they'll be sold, donated or end up as landfill. It's heartbreaking really.
@@brycewellington1935 Throughout our lives we accumulate "stuff", some has sentimental meaning but a lot has not. And at the end of a life, when we are faced with our loved one's scrap book fragments, we see just how fleeting and fragile life is
There’s a difference between wanting to make enough money to be comfortable and greed. But wealth implies the accumulation of a large amount of money. It implies a certain measure of greed.
Was a tough start admittedly for those of us in the game to survive. Money ….. I’ll take my chances. Dealing with expenses sure is a lot less stressful when you have the means. He’s clear though , to say the love of money as being the root of so many evils. He highlights the plight of greed as the basis of this track. Having enough for contentment isn’t the evil he’s talking about. It’s the rich thieving us to become even richer. I thought it’s a great song and video. Reaction was solid. Cheers 🇨🇦🍻
Really liked your point about the stairs shot in the video. So true - it’s definitely intentional with Ren. Enjoyed this when you buckled down to the lyrics and intricacies of his choices. Thanks. ❤
It's interesting that you liked the video more than the song because this is one of those very rare time that Ren isn't the producer on the song. A producer got in touch with Ren because he had also gotten screwed by Kujo Beats a few years ago so Ren thought it would be great to do a song together and share the profits. Also interesting, is that Ren didn't use a videographer on this song. He shot it all himself.
If you're feeling bad bout this that's on you my friend. No one cares if you have or want nice things, it's when those things or the means to get them take complete priority over the things in this life that hold true value.
The text at the start is from the Book of Timothy, New Testament, The Bible. Written between AD 62 - 66, so nearly two thousand years ago. If it was true then it is even more true now. So it is not Ren trying to make you feel bad. It is just truth
Pretty funny. April 4 here. Of all the constants in life one thing is i always gravitate to other aries. Before knowing they are Aries. Most everyone i keep up with communication wise are other Aries. In HS 5 of my friends in our circle 7/8 rotating people were all Aries. Even the last two women i ended up around are aries lol. No surprise i dig the podcast. Lol. One of only 4/5 i regularly search for new content. Thanks for the laughs and honest commentary.
Interesting way of doing reaction videos when you spend half the time distracted or talking over it. You guys would be better recording on the third view, then you might at least get the gist of what is being said. You're consistent if nothing else.
@AlmostJokingPod fair enough, valid points. I just find it frustrating you don't appear to catch what is being said at times. Let's hope you get the subs up to 20k then soon enough. 👍
We hear everything. I think people tend to forget were wearing headphones and the music much louder than our voices for us lol. same time i think people really should build their own channels because at the end of the day there's no right or wrong way to make content. Make it true to who you are. I be dead serious when i tell ppl they should make their own pages. Number one maybe it's alot of ppl that want to watch you do it how you want and secondly you'll get an understanding of being a person creating content. At the end of the day, we're just dudes who like music listening to music lol it ain't no deeper to us
@@TwistedSislerhe‘s said that the two simply talk too much. haven’t you noticed that there are differences between the reaction channels. of course they talk more in comparison with other reaction channels. read between the lines, man.
I struggle to understand how people complain about reactors reacting to a song! Part of the issue with doing reaction videos (other than having to react) is the fact that RU-vid would copyright them under normal circumstances, so they have to talk at regular intervals. If people want to watch the actual song/video then go to Ren’s page & watch it straight through, that’s what it’s there for.
@@TwistedSisler i was expecting that they would pause the video, comment and push play. Instead, they talked over top of some very important, meaningful lines.
@@greenogre22 You read between the lines man lol. They are literally a podcast channel. That implies lots of talking. This isn't that difficult to wrap your head around lol. There's zero point in even saying that they talk too much because never in the history of any channel of this nature has that had any effect on how the person decides to run their own channel. You either like it and rock with them or you don't and leave. Again, a very simple thing to understand.
