    We miss you guys! Brad's journey has been something. Just his ability to understand song lyrics has grown by leaps and bounds. And Lex has always had a natural emotional connection to music. Even my 82 year old mother mentioned you guys a couple of weeks ago. "I haven't see you reacting to them. They seem like such a nice couple!" 🙂

      I don't judge people. One thing I never understood was the phrase "Black Culture " I am 57 and came up at the end of segregation and had black friends, and never did I ever hear that phrase. When and why is it a thing now? Educate me here. I never experienced racism of any kind. Nowadays it seems like we're going backwards. Growing up my circle of friends never brought up color, it was never a factor. I wish we could go back to that. We as a People.

    I always said music from the 60's thru early 90's is the main reason why young people, generally speaking, DID NOT walk around with scowls on our faces, trying to look and act hard. EVEN IF WE WERE HARD, most the time you would't know it by looking at us. The music was optimistic and so were we, so we generally walked around happy, even if our circumstances were poor.

Being loved softens the spirit. The heart and mind are so deeply connected, and they are both more open as a result. Becoming parents to Baby Jack just tops it all off. Love y'all!!

    Your brain has evolved to be wary of unfamiliar things because they could be dangerous.
    That’s why it’s so important to expose yourself to a really varied set of experiences.

I remember a lot of commenters saying "Brad is too wooden, he never shows emotion, he sits there and barely moves while Lex steals the show" and I would reply with "Here is a man who loves his wife and who is happy for her to take center stage and watch her shine." The growth that you both have shown has been great to witness, and getting to see the "real" Brad has been an absolute blast. And now there's Jack Jack to complete the circle; we love you guys (and Nala and Tank!)

    I really enjoyed this conversation. The entire reason I watch reactors is to see how a song affects someone the first time they hear it. Even more, how music affects someone's outlook on life after listening to a large variety of music. Frank Zappa once said "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open." I believe variety is essential in life. I don't eat the same food every day. I don't watch the same type of movies every day and I certainly don't listen to the same music every day. I love how music and art has transformed Brad into a very fine entertainer. Brad, I enjoyed how you were talking about not always being in a great mood, but then having to stream. As a long time club DJ, I loved my job because no matter how crappy of a day I had in the outside world, I could leave that at the door and do my job. Once I got into an environment that I was in control of, everything was great. I guess that's one of the perks of being an entertainer. It was wonderful watching you two sit down and talk about this. Looking forward to more vlogs like this!

    I can barely put into words how happy it makes me that music has improved your lives. I've been watching your reactions for so long, and we all know that Lex has an instinctive, visceral feel for music while Brad was always more reserved and less emotional, sometimes missing the forest (the melodies and rhythms and harmonies) for the trees (the lyrics), so the idea that emotion has snuck its way into Brad's reactions is beautiful (and there's that word again).

And you are there. And you're so beautiful in the way you talk about the journey. I have always considered you two among my favorite reactors, but this conversation just impresses me in such a new way. Because you're talking about music as the shared experience of the world, and how opening your minds to new music and new people and feeling good about what that does for you. And you're delightful together. I love your shared vibe. It's really beautiful and makes me emotional just to think about it. Thank you for this.

    Hey, it goes both ways! Doing these reactions has changed your lives and honestly watching you guys the last couple years has made a difference in my life as well! It’s like looking forward to your favorite TV show. Somebody once said the key to being happy in life is having things to look forward to, and I’m sure many of us here would agree you guys have given us that!… Quick note on judging genres of music and yeah, it doesn’t have to be just based on race… I grew up, loving Zeppelin and hard rock. Besides Zeppelin, there was Queen and Pink Floyd and Deep purple and Sabbath, etc. etc. And I lived that music in the 70s as it was being released and went to so many shows… But I hated Southern rock! It did not fit in my genre at all. Couldn’t stand Lynyrd Skynyrd… Or the Outlaws or Charlie Daniels or Marshall Tucker, etc.… How close minded and stupid, I could’ve seen Skynyrd at their peak and I didn’t because of my stubborn attitude. But I love that stuff now! Stubborn stupidity😲… Thanks for everything Brad and Lex!

    Brad said it so precisely. Negativity judging music or anything else that’s outside of the cultural norm that we have grown up with is a human trait.
    That’s the part of your mind that gets opened up after having more diverse life experience. Music is a great doorway to that because all cultures and peoples have it as part of their existence.

    The brain does create new connections when you learn and grow.
    Movies are similar to music in that the right ones can make you grow but it’s not the made to seem clever movies that makes you grow.
    I know you’re super busy but there is one movie I recommend that has music as an important element and some gorgeous cinematography: Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Would be great to hear you both discuss it in a video like this.

    Sad songs can be so good. In Aug 2019, while her mother was in the process of getting up, I was driving my little friend, then aged 5, to get some sandwiches to have a picnic. A Carpenters song came on and after the opening few notes she said it sounded sad. I asked if we should change it and she said “No, sad can be good.” I was surprised that at such a young age she got it.

    Experience is what changes you. And once you open your mind to accepting new things you accelerate that change. Look at how you've changed so dramatically since 2019 and life forced you to wake up. Imagine where'd you both be had you made a different turn at a very crucial point in 2019? Change of thought process brings beautiful things... Like Jack. And yes, I believe Brad had shed some macho to gain some manhood.

    This was interesting. As an older guy (58) I think it's an example of the way things have changed. Music used to be pretty much out on it's own in terms of entertainment. Some guy worked out that during the early 80s the music industry was bigger & worth more than all the major Hollywood studios, all the main TV networks, the NFL, NBA, NHL & MLB...combined !! & that was just in the US before you even factored in the rest of the world. It was by far the most dominant form of entertainment. As such it permeated all of our lives incredibly without us ever realising it. Speaking personally, from the age of about 12 onwards the friendship groups I formed more or less centred on what music people listened to, later on the places I went mostly depended on what music was played there. I spent money on buying music, travelled around to see bands etc, talked about music incessently. It''s pretty obvious things aren't like that anymore & it's also obvious why. We didn't have the internet, mobile communication, social media...in my case not even video games. All of that competition has had a huge effect. People only have so much time. But the biggest change is money. We had to BUY music if we wanted instant access to it. Today you can pay peanuts per month for a streaming service with 10 million songs or use youtube for free. We had to be careful as a bad purchase usually meant that was it for you until next payday. Curation was everything. I think this change has led to a saturation of things that all sound the same. The industry has always had a problem with that to be fair but it seems to be worse now. With so little possibility of making money there are many less risks taken. Not so much weird, eclectic stuff gets through to the mainstream. It's still out there but much harder to find. You pair should have been born earlier is my point I guess 😀 Anyway, keep it up guys. 90% of youtube reactors are about as entertaining & interesting as mud on a wall. Well done on being part of the other 10% Oh...the podcast ? PLEASE stay away from tabloid gossip, bullshit politics & tiresome " culture war " crap if possible. The internet as a whole & youtube in particular is jammed with that sort of crap. I think your audience comes to you to get away from it. Your best feature is that you're "real" (for want of a better word) Please don't lose that. Take care guys 🙂
