You two young men have almost singlehandedly brought me and my 21 year old son back together, closer than ever. Life's been a bit hard between him and I for about a year and one night he came across your Phil Collins "In the air tonight" video and he came over to my house to pick up some things and happened to show it to me because we've always shared our love for music with each other. Well, that led us down a rabbit hole of so many of your other reaction videos and we watched for like an hour or so- just laughing and singing- and dancing (I danced around and he just laughed at me and poked fun at my lack of rhythm 😆) and crying. We mended some fences that night and now where there was once a hole between us there is understanding and respect again. Now he comes to get me once a week and we go for walks together and sometimes we watch another one of your videos together too. I have a terminal illness and we don't know how long it'll be until I'm not here to sing and dance and laugh and cry with him anymore. So I want to thank you guys. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU. Thank you for throwing joy and humor and positivity and love out into the universe for people like me and my son to catch. He's my best friend and now we can live with no regrets between us. We love you! I think you might be magic! 😉🎩🐇🎱⏳🔮💑😘💜💙💚💛❤🖤 Your family, I'm sure, is very proud of you both. And you should be proud of yourselves too. I'm proud of you and I don't even know ya! You guys are doing great things with your lives and the world is a better place because of you. The end. 💛
Bless you and your son, and thank you for sharing your story and "paying it forward", so to speak. You put a smile on my face, and warmth in my heart. This may be what they call "the butterfly effect"! 🕊️🙏♥️
@@ElephantsRock19 Thank you for taking the time to read all of that! And I'm a firm believer in voicing my gratitude to those that have touched my life in any capacity. Because I know all too well how short this life is- and we can't take our thanks or gratitude with us when we go so it's best for my heart if I make sure that people know when they've helped me along my way. Because SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DONE THAT FOR ME.💛💚
what a great story, how wonderful for you and your son!! I swear these two could heal the world if we gave them the chance!! I found them from the Phil Collins reaction also, I was completely hooked!!
Kudos to your momma for turning her life around and in turn her kids lives so you guys could be brought up right. Looks like she did/doin a good job 👍👍
You guys are breaking every stereotype other races are use too. What's amazing is I dont drink, smoke or party and I know more black people that live life like this and not what news media, tv, music and movies depict.
Amen to that. Every race has stereotypes that someone started about them, that is JUST NOT TRUE! You just have to not be Ignorant and feed into the LIES!!
"I'm talking like I'm 30 or something..." 😂😂😂 When you're 30, you'll definitely chuckle at that statement you made!! 🤭🤭 (30 isn't old bud...when you're older you'll wish you were 30 again...lol...🤷♀️maybe) Y'all are awesome!!!
The only thing that feels different when you are 30 is the age of the people around you. God bless you guys - keep the focus, the enthusiasm, the faith and the good will: the rest of the world will thank you.
@@lindalittle7573 Thank u. My mama was so tiny and yet the Strongest Woman I ever met! She stood 4'9" in her prime had her own band THE Dorothy Bradshaw Band played piano like little Richard, if only i had HER back here with me.
I just fell in love with you two, and I'm not gay! You fellers are more men than I'll ever be, and I'm 64. Things in life change us all. I went to prison the first time when I was 30. Behind Stoopid things. My mama was in her 70s. Do u know I was still her baby boy. She is still my Mommy. She died 14 yrs ago and I'll always miss her. You two fellas just gave me Hope. Thank you. 🤗🤗😎
My mum told me until the day she died “ it doesn’t matter how old you are. You will always be my baby”. She died almost 9 years ago and I miss her every day
That was some good storytelling guys! Yeah no doubt, you were among the last of your generation to experience the fun of playing outdoors, riding bikes etc....and how sad is that. And thank God, you managed to grow up where you did, and come out of it without any of the problems that you could have fallen into. Anyway another great feel good video! :-)
Lovr your story.. My sister spent 25 years on drugs. Her kids were raised by my mom so I understand your situation. Praise God for good grandparents and restored parents. God bless you guys and your family. By the way, Fred is the old man of the group.
I love how down to earth you both are. I love your channel I’m one of your silent listener. But I had to say something. Thanks for sharing about your lives. I wish you both all the best and that your channels will continue to flourish. How God bless no man curse. Keep grinding I’m happy you all keep God in your lives and stayed away from things that is not beneficial for your bodies. I salute you men for that. 🥰😂
I swear, I just want to adopt you two, and your brother and Stacks. LOL You are the most adorable, smart, funny, educated and entertaining group of young people I've come across in the longest time. You give me laughs, joy and smiles with every single video you post. Keep up your hard work, I can see it's really starting to pay off a little for you and that's great!!!! this Grandma in Moses Lake, WA just adores you!
I don't drink or smoke either. That stuff never appealed to me plus my dad died from lung cancer so smoking was never an option. Mad respect for both of y'all. God bless!
You guys always lift my spirits! I’m standing up and clapping for your Mom. She had her issues but she was strong and overcame them. You have some good kids here Mom! Blessings to you all❤️❤️
Everyone has a story to tell. Thank you for sharing yours. Much appreciated. Wishing you all the best in life and for the future. You have the drive for life and don't let everyone tell you differently. XOXO
Choose what fits you. But higher education is great to have. You two are very intelligent it just takes discipline. RU-vid doesn’t last forever. You can do Business, technology, acting etc. you don’t have to go full time. Give yourself something to fall back on. What would Obama do? Cont. I’m just saying. You could also be producers film editors or makers. I smile I cry and I enjoy your music. I’m 65 years old-So listen to granny. There are lots of bad people and situations out there that you have been sheltered from. Listen to your inner compass 🧭 stay straight. Live like you are poor for a little while. Save invest. Be survivors. Be careful and thoughtful.
Oh bravo to you! Well said Wadiahp Jones! I agree with you completely! So many possibilities to take advantage of out there! They have the ability to do it too!
@ Wadiahp Jones Agree... What I tell people is that a college education not only gives you - duh - and education (hopefully! 🤪), but it gives you options. You don’t ever want a door closed to you bec of that. But it’s definitely not required to have a good and happy life. 🙂
I’m so glad that your mom changed her life for the better and that your life was full of love. I applaud your entrepreneurial spirit and am enjoying watching your enjoyment of new music. Kudos, love and hugs to both of you and your family! ✌🏼🖖🏽
It's so fun hearing your stories and how you talk about "these kids today " when you're only 22😂😂 You guys are great, and I'm glad you haven't started drinking or smoking! You'll be much better off later in life. I never went to parties much either at your age. I was too shy...still trying to think what to send you guys...👍✌💙
I'm a 54 year old Jewish woman and I thought I was the only person who didn't like that when people use the word party it means drinking and doing drugs! You both are such good role models!!!
Tim & Fred, thanks for keeping it real 💯 Im sorry things were rough for you growing up but they say things happen for a reason although at the time you don’t know why. You got to see both sides of the coin & it helped you to appreciate the life you have now. At the times when it was so rough you never knew that was the very thing that would probably save you later in life & I’m so glad it did.You have so many people that truly care about you but more importantly you care about each other. I’m sure when times were so tough you never thought you’d be laughing about those very things later in life but here you are loving the memories. Life is weird like that but it’s up to you what you make of it now. I know you will be okay with the mindset that you have ❤️ Maybe set a day a week aside to ride bikes together even though you have those 🔥 vehicles to remind you where you came from & there are still many memories to be made❣️
Fred...GREAT idea and congratulations on going to Barber school! I didn’t go to college, I went to Cosmetology school while in high school, got my license 1 year after I graduated and now a million years later I have been blessed with an amazing career. I work for a men’s grooming brand called Reuzel, running education globally and it’s all because of that license. This is an incredible industry, welcome to it . I know you will be beyond successful! God bless you and Tim. You are a bright spot in this crazy world.
Y’all have overcome so many challenges and have had so many different experiences. I’m so glad that your Mom turned her life around! God had a Plan for you, and you are following his Plan. May God continue to Bless you and your family.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sending love from San Antonio, TX! 💖
that's so sweet y'all twins aww lol y'all had a rough start but y'all ok now hugs from Baltimore city Maryland lol I had poor grade till middle school I'm 52 years old and I grew up in the 70s and 80s times were better then can y'all react to the song flashlight by parliament I'm proud of you two
BIG LOVE from the UK, you guys are genuinely decent lads and it comes across in your videos. As I’m sure like thousands of other people I get great joy in watching your videos and genuinely smile from cheek to cheek seeing you discover these classic tracks. I hope one day you do one of my choices! Massive respect
Praise God for “Another” chances. It’s never too late. We are proud of mom too. 🥰 and you guys are awesome! We love your reactions especially to new songs that you wouldn’t normally listen to.
Love the way you guys are open to different genres..growing up we would listen to what your friends were listening to, if you were mexican you'd like mexican music, you white, it would be metal, you black ,rap..it really was messed up being so stereotypical!!.missed out on a lot of good music!!
Your story is so brave, inspirational, uplifting and amazing. God was with you holding your hand and giving you the strength to become the role models you are today.
Totally agree. Parties are way overrated ... always supposed to be the ultimate social situation and it’s often ridiculous drunk people and very little conversation with friends. I prefer small groups of good, positive, funny people to hang with. You are leaders among men!! Thanks for keeping it real and bringing back the music. Love you guys. 💕
Speaking as a 68 year old white guy who lives in the South, I love you guys. I enjoy your reactions, and I get a kick out of many of your comments. I think I can speak on behalf of a lot of people around my age when I say that it's always cool to hear young people enjoying music from OUR generation. Furthermore, let me say that I think it's a brave step, perhaps an under appreciated one, for the two of you to reveal so much of yourselves and about your personal lives in videos like this. But I promise you, doing so will endear you to tons of your viewers and make the bond even stronger. You guys rock! I hope you get a million subscribers (and it looks like you're well on your way).
Appreciate the honest and real perspective on your journey so far. Y'all are so real and seem to understand how to stay on the right path. Best wishes for your futures. 🙏
You two are what I hope my kids grow to be. I don't smoke or drink either, parties in college weren't fun to me either... I just hope my kids can learn to love life without all of that mess as well. You're both so open-minded, so positive. Keep on going!
Sounds like you're all some mighty overcomers. Hit some stumbling blocks along the way but had support and made the most of it. Grounded and rooted in The Word not the world....that's key right there. As for the parties and all the junk, you're right, nothing good only grief for you there. I have been watching for you two for months. You always make me smile and happy. Blessing to you young men and your family.
Thanks for sharing. Admire your willingness to go against the crowd and not drink and smoke. ❤️ you have goals and don’t want to give place to that. Good for you.
This story makes me love you guys even more. I'm a 50 year old white, rock and roll guy and you are my favorite thing on the web. I get so much joy watching you discover these songs. The Evanescence song you loved so much was written at my house (I was friends with the band when they were in high school) and it brought tears to my eyes watching you hear it for the first time. You guys are the best example of why your generation is going to fix the world. Music heals all wounds and brings people together no matter what color of background. Thanks so much for starting this channel - I look forward to every video like you are old friends.
You two are adorable. We are hooked! I am a school teacher, sitting with my 83 year old mom, enjoying your music exploration and appreciation! Yay! Suggestion: Canadian Song writer Leonard Cohen -song Hallelujah sung by Jeff Buckley OR KD Lange! Enjoy! Prepare yourselves-powerfullllll!
⚠️ I absolutely love how you are sharing the story behind this RU-vid channel. You guys are in your 20s but you talk like you’re in your 40s because of your childhood. I am a pastor and podcast host in Washington state.Who’s with me to get this going? ❤️💯
Props to your grandparents! You guys are so good! Compassionate, caring, responsible and open-minded! I'm soooo happy to have stumbled on your channel today I've been on it for hours and shared it on FaceBook!
@Marcella Awww, we love your nephews. They are fun, and funny, and I love their positivity. And you’re right. They don’t have to explain anything to anyone, but I am glad to know more about who they are. And nothing here to be ashamed of or hide at all.
Omgoodness! I absolutely LOVE how Tim cracks up at a lot of what Fred says! 🤣❤️🤗 Y'all are beautiful! Thank you both for all your hard work! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 ❤️Maddy
"Wonder Twin Powers Activate!!" Keep doing what you're doing and help raise the quality of Life!! Prov.27:17. If you haven't yet,check out "Can't Stop" by Red Hot Chili Peppers!!!
Y’all have such a great look on life. Especially with what life has thrown at you. Most young kids hate the world once something goes wrong, I speak from experience. I was 9-10 when my mom got caught up with the feds. I went from shy kid to the worst kid at the school. Thought it was everyone’s fault not just hers. Couldn’t tell me anything, now almost 25 I wish I could go back in time and taken a different path. It’s always awesome to see people doing so good in life and turning bad situations into the best situation.
I had a kind of similar school experience. I moved from rural schools to an inner-city school in Flint, Michigan. It was a culture shock at first, but it was a really good experience because I got to see things from a different perspective and I met people there who have been my best friends for almost 30 years.
Hi Tim and Fred, I have a lot of respect for you both. Thank you for sharing your story. Your honesty is refreshing. I understand now how you could not have heard the music.God bless all of you and your family. Especially your grandparents. Looking forward to more videos from you. Take care, Joyce/Connecticut 🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱. ❤️❤️. Request: Group: Triumph. Song: Magic Power. One hint: Music
Great song!! I’ve been wanting to tell them about Triumph...such a great eighties band that didn’t get the recognition they deserved. I saw them live in the eighties and they were amazing! Good one! 👍💝
@@user-A4247 Hi cool. I’ll keep requesting it. If you get a chance you do too. It will help. Because if they see another person asking for it, we may hear it. Fight the good fight, lay it on the line, low down and dirty all great tunes. Take care🙋♀️
Much respect for telling your story keep it up things are going be great for you guys hope your channel gives the diversity of classic music to the young people
You two have done some fine work on this channel and with your lives. Thank you for sharing your stories! I appreciate you both! Definitely stay positive! Wishing you both the very best. 💖💕
Ideas..#101... how about sharing what you know too! We would love to know what you loved growing up and how or if it effected you alo g your journey of life. #loveandrespectxxx
