Good luck, Brian. Moving cross country can be daunting but also freeing. When I was 23, I packed up as much as I could fit in my Sedan and left everything I knew in Seattle and headed off to my cousin's house in Houston for a few weeks until I found a place. Within a year, I got a job that moved me to Boise (which is amazing btw) and 5 years later to PA. After 4 years there, I wanted to move back to Texas and be closer to family. And luckily my sister had just moved to DFW so my dad flew in from Costa Rica and accompanied me on the journey, where we overnighted in Knoxville, Nashville and Little Rock. Which I'll forever be grateful of that time we spent together. The next time I saw him was 9 months later when he visited Texas to see his first granddaughter, sick as a dog with what we soon found out was stage 4 brain lung and stomach cancer destroying his body. It was a blessing to be able to be able to find him hospice care and be there for him until he passed 5 weeks later, with his kids, on US soil, just like he wanted. Safe travels my guy, and I hope you find peace in TN. Ha maybe Church'll invite you out to Ghost Ranch soon. Thanks fellas
Tom has a personal relationship with God. He talks to him everyday. What he talks about is between him and God. I get it, I'm the same way. I don't need a church to have a relationship with God. Love this song. Tom always knows what I need to hear before I even know I need to hear it. ❤ #HOG4EVER
"They told me 'smell the roses' but I burned the whole bouquet". Now he's 'pushing up daisies. Brilliant! Edit: Good for you, Brian, in getting out of CA and moving to Tennessee! I got out a couple of years ago to South Dakota. But I'm eyeing Nashville. I'm a big fan of music and guitars. But I'm happy here, so.....
One powerful line from Best Rapper. That whole song, like this one is one I feel. I can personally connect with those thoughts, the rage, fear, anger, conflicting thoughts, and deciding to come out on top. This song may hit different, it's still about personal growth and acceptance of one's self. For me it's been hard to let go of self hate, or fall back into it. He's brilliant for delivering so much music that can touch souls.
I always appreciate your reactions and I REALLY appreciate this much-needed Christmas Blessing. Tom gave the world such a beautiful, healing song and I have yet to see it NOT touch a reactor. I never heard of Tom MacDonald until 4 months ago & now, I'm addicted - and he said that was a good thing. That was the night before STRONGER VERSION was dropped and now I feel as though Tom has taken another leap in his artistic ability. Plus, Nova kills it and they seem to complement each other well, just like an old couple. I love the way you are imparting your knowledge to our young folks because God knows they need it. I'll continue my journey into independent artist's music on your channel. Enjoy Tennessee - that's where my grandfather was from. Merry Christmas 🙏🌼🇺🇸🎄💐eM
What I love about this song is that it doesn’t matter whether you have/had addictions, it’s still tells us to forgive ourselves and keep growing. Just so nice compared to the other garbage out there. Safe travels on Friday ❤
Welcome to Tennessean, Brian! I didn't know I needed this song, but I love it, and I'm going to take the message into 2024 and continue my own healing journey. Nice reaction! #HOG4LIFE
Thank you for watching our channel Gregory! Brian will definitely be missed at certain times. As far as other times….not so much 😉😂. Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend. - C -
Addiction is hard to understand for people that have never been addicted. I first was addicted to cigarettes, and what a dumb thing to get addicted to. Nobody ever has had their first smoke and said "this is terrific". I had to work at it. I smoked for 30 years, quit on and off, but haven't had any tobacco for 2 years, coming the new Year. Hope you all have a merry xmas, and a great new year.
Seeing as we are human we go through life having to deal with the "light" and the "dark" in many different forms. Here his reference being sober and being wasted and living most of his life in between (sober = light and wasted = dark) which as he said in his song My Fans, he just wants to be the lantern to help guide us along the way. Acknowledging our weaknesses and trying to overcome what is keeping us down is the first and most important step to begin the healing towards acceptance that our life paths are scattered everywhere with temptations but being stronger helps us deal a bit better with them. I discovered his music at a time that I needed it so much and am eternally grateful that he made it through those dark days to be with us today. Far from perfect but that's ok because that's what makes him relatable and this song is needed to bring motivation and inspiration for this time of year. It is our Christmas gift and one I will surely be listening and dancing to in between the Christmas carols 🎄💪🏽🙏🏽✌🏽🤙🏽♥🌻 Merry Christmas to you both and good luck with your move. #HOG4EVER
I just love you guys!! Good luck in Tennessee, Brian. I'll miss you guys in your studio together! I hope this isn't the end of your show though. This is such a cool song! I could hear it on the radio right now, but that'll never happen really, and it's a shame. The message is actually a positive one. He has elevated himself despite his past! Great message for people to hear. Great reaction you guys! Much love✌️❣️
Love this song awesome ❤tom helping alot of people who are struggling with things also ❤thank you for this tom ❤. Tom always speaks the truth about his life this is why we love him ❤. Love when tom sings he is so versatile and talented ❤ .love your reaction as always ❤. #HOG FOREVER
Good morning Cedric and Brian. We either have to grow from what we've gone through or we will be pushing up daisies.... If you don't learn from life's lessons then you're doomed to repeat it. History has taught us that. I hope you have a great week and a safe trip.
Wow 👌 okay I love the fact he's being honest and taking accountability ❤ That's all you can keep doing, slip and pick yourself up, brush off, and start again. I did not expect that song from him. I dont believe in any man-made book religion. Brought up practising and now I talk to the planet, that's my heaven ❤❤❤❤❤
LOVE IT!!! We’re supposed to get a heavy rain storm here in Southern California tonight, but if it’s sunny tomorrow, I think I’m gonna go out and do the exact same thing! Thanks for watching our channel. - C -
I absolutely love this song. As someone who is 8 months free of cigarettes, I don’t think Tom is really embellishing the numbers. Regardless, great song and video. Congrats on 50k 🥳. Glad the camera/phone didn’t fall this time😉(nice work Tech guy 😁). Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas 🎄 Brian, have a safe flight to your new home. ✌🏻❤️🌼🌸🌼🌸😊
Cedric, I'd love to see you move to Tennessee! Yes, you guys will make it work from a distance, I have no doubt. Another good reaction, guys! (Even with you being washed out by that artificial light .... 😉)
Everything in moderation. I know he's not against drinking. But, he's an alcoholic, and he knows that he has a drink he will go right back to where he was
Tom MacDonald is amazing. Put himself out their for the world to see. Good or Bad. "Sober" He takes ACCOUNTABILITY for his all the Bad Decisions he's made. "Angles" He talks about HUNDERSTANDING of how he got to where he was. "Stronger Version" He's learning to FORGIVE himself. Can't Move on till you do all 3. BTW "Angles" is one of my favorite song. If you haven't Reviewed that Song please to so. #HOG4LIFE (VIDEO LIKED/SUBSCRIBER)
@@CedricandBrian I really appreciate you and your opinions and insight on things. Y’all are honest, fun, and entertaining while bringing both your personalities.
Just discovered you guys and I really like your breakdowns. I would really like to see what you make of Rage against the machine. Any track really but Rodeo drive would be a good place to start. With rage against the machine, it really helps if you follow the lyrics too. Thanks.
WRONG. "Religion" is a bad word. Most of the churches are corrupted. It should never be about Religion. It should be about a RELATIONSHIP with God. I believe that is what Tom now has. "If you acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge you before My Father in Heaven" Matthew 10:32
I missed the “wrong“ part because I think I said exactly what you’re saying from the 7:45 to the 8:45 mark?? I had to listen to our video again just to confirm, but please let me know if I said anything different. Thanks for watching our channel. - C -
His whole life and career are blooming growing. Tom 2.0. Tom 1.0 was headed to "pushing up daisies". What an uplifting message!
That is the best description I've heard about Tom. 1.0 pushing daisies, 2.0 growing daisies. Love it
In the Victorian language of flowers, daisies represent rebirth. 🌼
Yes a completely agree .. love Tom and the H.O.G family .. 100❤
This song makes me dance! The beat is absolutely infectious. 🌼🌼🌼#HOG
Y'all are awesome ❤ This is such a good song, a different style for Tom. Hits hard and healing videos.❤

Seeing you two on video is always a great start on the day. ❤
It does feel very much like God it touching Tom’s heart and almost using him as a vessel.
I love that because you just never know when God will touch your heart. It’s awesome to see! Thanks for watching our channel.

You should do end of the world by tom
Everything in moderation. I know he's not against drinking. But, he's an alcoholic, and he knows that he has a drink he will go right back to where he was
Another comment ( hey it helps the algorithm😉)
Congrats on the 50k and can’t wait until you hit 100k🎉❤❤🎉

"Angles" He talks about HUNDERSTANDING of how he got to where he was.

Did you do tom mcdonald and mac lethal's dis
Tom seems to have found a relationship with Christ. Not sure if he has but seems like he has
Both of you will have left Cali?
Are you guys still going to do your videos with Brian moving?
Hi Connie, yes we are. May look a little different until I get Cedric there.
🤣 keep begging ❤❤❤❤ IGNORE THE HATERZ, they're more mentally ill than me, without help! You need to pity them ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
WRONG. "Religion" is a bad word. Most of the churches are corrupted. It should never be about Religion. It should be about a RELATIONSHIP with God. I believe that is what Tom now has.
