1st...i hope you are feeling okay. If you like this you might enjoy their " Country Fried Pop Medley ". Being the founder, Chris put many years into Home Free. He decided he wanted time to work on his own , his music, arranging and other projects. There seems to be no hard feelings, I've seen him hanging out in a couple "From the Vault ( behind the scenes) videos and I think I remember he helped pick Adam Chance as his replacement. Chance made an appearance at Chris's last concert. He does have solo work and is in a smaller acapella group, Cypress Fyre, who has just started a student outreach project helping children express their emotions through music. You can hear him sing solo in their song " Moving On". Thanks for the Home Free reactions.
Chris arranged the Christmas song What Child is This and featured Home Free on his channel. An awesome video with 6 part harmony. He also is featured in Adam Rupp’s arrangement of an AMAZING cover of the Christmas song Do You Hear What I Hear? Also if you were impressed with Rob rapping in this medley you will be blown away when you hear him singing opera with Austin. It’s called Two country singers try singing opera.
If nothing else, their phenomenal talents and hard-fast friendships has kept these guys together for so long. And we all hope it will persevere for another 4 or 5 decades! They have been my favorite vocal group since rediscovering acapella performance with the Sing off TV show (2010-2014). As you know Home Free won the trophy in 2013! Keep following these guys -- you will never, ever, be disappointed.
This song was Chris' idea, and arranged by Chris Rupp, Layne Stein (of VoicePlay), and Adam Rupp. The 'Big 3' acapella groups have different styles, so there's no animosity, and they often collaborate with each other.
This is truly Home Free. 🥰 Sometimes I can get tears in my eyes because it is so emotional 😢and other times I have those tears too but from laughing😂. But always it's so good!!! And than Rob's amazing whistling and rap. This is just hilarious. 🤣 Also pay close attention to what is happening in the background
Love Home Free and bass Tim Foust. You need to check out their friends from The Sing-Off VoicePlay and bass Geoff Castellucci. They even did a video together. Zombies vs. Hillbillies - Survivor (VoicePlay vs. Home Free). Geoff Castellucci arranged the song Elvira for Home Free to sing with the Oak Ridge Boys.
Chris Rupp left the group to pursue a solo career. He has his own UA-cam channel if you’re interested. On his channel you will also find a five part video explaining how Home Free got started and how the members today joined.
So glad you guys enjoyed it. It is a fun one. I showed it to a group of too young’s and quite olds, and they were so confused. They didn’t recognize most of the songs. Didn’t understand that this is a fairly family friendly parody of some of the biggest songs about butts ever. When you start getting into Home Free Christmas songs there is a wide variety of traditional and melancholy and funny. Two originals are “Full of Cheer” with Chris Rupp and “Cold Hard Cash”.
Check out their "Country Fried Pop Medley" for a little more of their humor. Also Chris Rupp. Chris was good, but I think they struck gold when they found Chance. Also, check out one of Adam Rupp's drum solos on UA-cam. And their cover of Garth Brooks' "Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up" and the Doobie Bros' "Let the Music Play". Rupp shines.
Love these guys ... they are what they seem ... uniquely talented individuals who enjoy singing together and being with each other ! Their individual pursuits keep the group fresh ... sharing the leads keeps the egos at bay . But when they come together , they sound like a band of angels ! We Home Fries feel like part of their families , as they often share their personal lives and times with us ! You've barely scratched the surface of their mountain of work !
I hope you are ok LeeJaaay 😕 Chris left not on any bad terms he just wanted to pursue solo work and some other projects. He now has another group called Cypress Fyre. He has done some collaborations with Tim also Angels Among Us Long Black Train Also did collaboration with Home Free after he left What Child Is This #HomeFree #HighlyReactiveReactions
Leejaay, I hope you are feeling better❤ You guys are so much fun to watch😂 thank you! Now that you've seen/heard Adam's beat boxing in this video, you reeeeeeeaally need to watch one of his drum solos! I prefer the one from 2015 (he's wearing a red flannel shirt) because its just him, no looper. 😊
Thanks for another great reaction! Love watching people react to this hilarious grouping of songs. It's even more fun at the live shows!! But about Chris Rupp -- he is INCREDIBLY talented! He didn't use his own very good voice to solo a lot with the group. But after he went out on his own he has many songs and albums. Check him out on UA-cam. He did Moving On after HF with the guys. Super gorgeous and moving. But Chris is able to write, arrange, sing, play incredibly almost classical type piano. He is just talented! Thanks again and keep the reactions coming! Oh, Listen to the Music is great. Tim has a couple originals recently he solos in and he has his own solo channel that he does incredible stuff, singing all the parts himself at times! Wow! Take car.
I hope you feel ok. Chris and Adam Rupp (the beat boxer) were the founders of the group back in 2000. Chris just felt it was time to try a new challenge as Home Free was finally doing so well and no longer in any danger. He actually had a hand in Choosing Adam Chance who replaced him in the group. He has gone on to start other groups and to have a solo career. He is doing just fine and still comes back to sing with Home Free every now and then.
This is such a fun mashup of songs. Very cleverly done from one song to another. The talent these guys have is phenomenal. They have so much fun but the vocals never suffer. And Adam's beatboxing is on another level. Home Free was very respectful in this video about not exploiting or offending any women.
#HomeFree these guys are so talented. Chris Rupp and Tim Foust did Long Black Train together and won country acapella song of the year. If you want to hear more from Chris.
#HomeFree Another great HF reaction, thanks Guys! They have a great sense of humour but are always respectful in how they do things (ie. it was only their own butts shown). No matter how silly their music never suffers. A prime example of this is Brother - I'd recommend you watch it twice during your reaction, once for the video antics and a second time for the lyrics/music, just so you can catch it all. We Home Fries won't mind a bit!
Tim is actually doing some beat boxing in I Like Big Butts this the spit. 😊 Chris Rupp wanted to do more solo projects. He does some behind the scenes type reactions to some of the HF songs, including this one on his channel
Chris left to start his own journey and has started his own group in Gospel music. I understand he actually chose Chance to replace him. If you would like to hear Chris and Tim Foust together Try Chris Rupp version of Long Black Train. I think you will be surprised. They are wonderful together. Chris left with their best wishes for success. Adam is the only one of the original group that remains and is the backbone of the Group. Adam has a video that he arranged and got the group together for a fun short video. I don't know if you have reacted to Brother but it is one of my favorites a long with Blue ain't your color.
This was Home Free's April Fools' video from 2015❣️🎼🥰🎶❤️ Rob's musical whistling is just remarkable! 😙 And watching Tim do the beatboxing as he harasses Rob when Adam does the dj scratching is hilarious 😆 Eric "Buegs" Buegler is one of Rob's good friends. His short overalls is a reference to Maddie & Tae's video called "Girl in a Country Song". Check it out--makes Buegs' antics here even funnier 🤣 #homefree
Great reaction. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Fun fact - Layne Stein and Chris arranged this song. Layne is the beatboxer in another acapella group - VoicePlay. He’s so multi talented
Hope you're feeling better. This group has so much talent in such a small package. What you see in their music videos are what they are behind the camera. They believe in their music and it shines. They show that you can sell music without the sexual, bad language and demeaning videos. They are wholesome to the core. They do collaborations and let those artists shine through. Since they don't have a 'lead', they share and and put whomever would sound the best lead the song. Their music can fit all genres and are family sanctioned. Love seeing kids at their live concerts. They use their own family and friends in the videos. For their pure harmonies, listen to Brothers in Arms,(Dire Straits), Helplessly Hoping (Crosby, Stills and Nash), How Great Thou Art. The also back up some causes too. One Voice, Don't Laugh at Me and my favorite, Everybody Walking This Land. Keep on doing your fabulous reactions. Love watching you. A new sub!
#Home Free Oh, I hope LeeJay is feeling ok now! Glad you got to finish the video. This was a blast to watch again. One thing I noticed the very first time I watched this video is when right at the beginning of Fat Bottom Girl, Tim was head banging. Hardly anyone ever notices it. Could be because he’s over on the right end of the screen. These guys never take themselves too seriously. Their behind the scenes for most of their videos are usually funny in some parts. It’s usually shenanigans when they’re in between filming takes, etc. It’s a little odd that even though Chris had the idea to start the group with his brother and two other guys, he rarely had solos. He left the group because he had so many projects he wanted to do and didn’t want to interfere with the group’s schedule and so forth, he left the group in mid 2016.
Love your reactions to our Home Free guys! Might have already been mentioned but there is a 5 or 6 part YT video on how the group got together in 2001, who was in the band when they first formed and how they came to the amazing lineup they have today. It's interesting to see and hear how they got it all together. I found them during the pandemic and have never found a cover or original by them I didn't like. Keep up the great reactions!!!! I'll be back!
Great reaction! You guys are a hoot! Yeah... Home Free makes people smile. Yet they can send a sober message too. And make you think. So incredibly talented! And btw, you scared the cr*p out of me! So very glad you're feeling better. Please take care. 😎✌
Chris Rupp quit Home Free to do his own individual projects. There was no dramatic bust ups If you want to see Chris sing some as a lead with Home Free, he does that with Country Fried Pop and Children Go Where I Send Thee which the group did with the late great Kenny Rogers. Chris does a duet with Tim Foust, the bass, called Long Black Train. He also is part of another acapella group which includes Chris and Adam's sister Tristan. Their group is shown on Chris's, You Tube Channel. Chris has made a series of videos about the history of Home Free. It starts with Chris, Adam, and Matt Atwood discussing about starting Home Free. It talks about the many struggles of starting an acapella group. They talk how Adam started beatboxing and how they came up with the name Home Free which Matt offered as a joke. The next part is about how Rob joined his group. As a music major, Rob did numerous jobs to pay the bills. He joined Home Free when his previous acapella group disbanded.. Rob talks a lot about the previous members of the group. Home Free changed members quite a bit, especially basses. Next video has Tim and Austin in Austin's home in Nashville. Tim tells how he joined Home Free for their first tour. Chris talks about how he kept asking Tim to join Home Free permanently. Then Austin talks about working as an entertainer on a cruise ship and saw Home Free. He wanted to join the group if ever there was a spot. Matt about that time joined his family's business. Austin then joined the group. Tim talks having to interpret for Austin as a fellow Southerner, since the other members from Minnesota couldn't understand Austin due to his accent. There is a strong sense of family with Home Free. It doesn't just extend to the present members, but also past members Also, that connection includes the unseen crew members. BTW the guy in the cut overalls is one of Rob's best friends ( along with Tim Foust.) Rob's, friend v(I have forgotten his name) is in several Home Free video. He and Rob do a video channel on movie reactions. Rob, in case you don't know, has a very dry deadpan sense of humor. All of the guys have a good sense of humor and are laid back. They are also very hard workers. As Austin said, it's not as glamorous as it looks. Most of their time is spent just traveling to different destinations. What they do is work and a business, but it is also a community. Home Free has proven to be respectful of their fans, fellow musicians, various service organizations , the military. Veterans, crew members, even fellow competitors. The Buttz Remix was arranged by Lance Stein of Voiceplay. Voiceplay and Home Free were competitors on The Sing-Off. They have a friendship formed during the show. They did a video together after the show called Zombies vs Hillbillies.
Love your reaction to the song! I'm you're doing okay, Lee Jay! Hope you're doing better, friend. This has always been one of my favorite songs just because it is so goofy, ya know, it's all about how you intend things. I had a friend of mine ask me if it didn't upset me that the whole thing was talking about women's butts. I said "Of course, not, no! They're just being silly, it's all in good fun. They seem like some of the sweetest dudes you could meet." So, yeah, it's super fun, makes me smile when I watch it. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, too. 🤣🙃😛
#HomeFree they shot 3 videos that day, if you watch in the beginning Chris Rupp (black cowboy hat) is just behind Tim singing Honky Tonk Bedonkey donkey. Then he disappeared then he's back. Chris said he went to get lunch for everyone including the ham sandwich. That Tim proceeds to eat on camera during the Paddy Cake With No Hands
This video is even funnier if you also get the background of Trace Adkins video for Honky Tonk Badonkadonk. It's a bit older and definitely unknown to most reactors to the Homefree one... It's also hilariously tongue in cheek paired with amazing voice in his own right, & gives context to so many visuals of this one! 😊
Another great reaction. Hope u r ok now. Try Hillbilly Bone, champagne Life on a Beer Budget, Good Ol Boy Good Time. If u want a tear jerker go for Dont Laugh at Me with the original artist. REAL country go for Elvira with the original Oak Ridge Boys who can STILL BELT OUT!! Nana Karen UK
Chris Rupp wanted pursue his solo career. Chris is awesome, but IMO Chance has brought this group to another level. I think its because Chance can sing Bass to high tenor. Which gives Tim the opportunity to do more singing other than bass.
Since the holidays are coming up soon I know a few good ones you should react to is do you hear what I hear what i hear silent night. I love homefree version of grandma got ran over by a reindeer. Cold hard cash is a good snow globe. If you want to see all of homefree singing with Chris Rupp go to Chris's youtube channel and check out what child is this. Also check out angels we have heard on high on homefree's channel.
I'm a little late to the party. But I am glad to have found you. The Oak Ridge Boys group dates back to the 1940s. The Oaks in the video have been together AND performing for 50 years. Multiple accolades from Grammys to CMAs to Doves et al. Regrettably they are on their farewell tour and will retire the group at its conclusion. Please do a YT search for Oak Ridge Boys and you will find their channel with lots of their music.
@@highlyreactivereactions If you want to hear the guy with the beard (William Lee Golden) take lead look for "Ozark Mountain Jubilee". It is one of their masterpieces.
If you want to learn a little bit about Chris, check out his reaction/breakdown of this song on his own channel. U will learn a lot about the behind the scenes and some about him.
You guys should look into Chris Stapleton, great artist, pretty much created his own genre. Recomend "Tennesee Whiskey" and "Cold" live at cma awards if nothing else. Also Teddy Swims, great voice, does a nice cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me"
Im new to your channel and i thought y'all did a great reaction. I would like to see y'all react to country fried pop medley it was a really good one they did.
#Home Free! You guys are definitely Home Fries! Your reaction has put a grin on my face that's going to take hours to get it back to normal. When you have some extra time check out Home Free's "From the Vault" series for some hilarious behind the scenes footage of some of their videos. Thanks for the giggles. Almost forgot, for more HF fun check out a HF original "Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget", more whistling from Rob and a cameo from Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix.
Love watching ya'll just subscribed. I feel like they did a better job of the thong song then Cisco.😂 If you are familiar with Larping you gotta see "Brother". Heart Felt and Hilarious. Awesome video!
In an interview with Chris Rupp (black cowboy hat) he said this was his pet project. In summary, his sister had worked with a modeling agency and that's where most of the women came from. Since they didn't want to objectify the women, the only 'butts' are theirs. The man in the one shoulder overalls is "Beugs", a friend of Rob's who co-hosts on Rob's channel (he's in other videos as well).
Eric Beugler aka Beugs is Rob's cohost on the movie review podcast The Avid Indoorsmen. Those overalls he's wearing are the some ones worn by Tim in Champagne Taste. He's in Home Free's video White Christmas, one of only 4 where Chris Rupp and Adam Chance are both in, either both performing or one in the background. Chris went solo in May 2016, singing mostly christian themed songs and hymns. He was part of the group 7th Ave along with their sister Tristin. My favorites of theirs are Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk and a mashup called I Kissed a Girl in the House of the Rising Sun. His other group after that is Cypress Fyre. My favorite of theirs is No Diggity. Chris also has a really fun video out called Drinkin' With Me, sung with Adam Bastien. He has another live stage version of that song under his & Matt Atwood's name. Matt is one of the original members of Home Free.
@@highlyreactivereactions Truly. Flat white boy butts that they are, they're part of the whole sweet and sexy package of talent. And I'm including all six of them.
Rob is an excellent whistler, if you hear whistling in a Home Free video it is more than likely Rob doing it. I hope you are feeling much better and it was nothing too serious.
Don't forget Chance is doing the bass when Tim is singing! Having fun with and for us!
It's amazing
If you’re watching this for the first time, always check the background. You never believe what you’ll see.
1st...i hope you are feeling okay. If you like this you might enjoy their " Country Fried Pop Medley ". Being the founder, Chris put many years into Home Free. He decided he wanted time to work on his own , his music, arranging and other projects. There seems to be no hard feelings, I've seen him hanging out in a couple "From the Vault ( behind the scenes) videos and I think I remember he helped pick Adam Chance as his replacement.

Chris arranged the Christmas song What Child is This and featured Home Free on his channel. An awesome video with 6 part harmony. He also is featured in Adam Rupp’s arrangement of an AMAZING cover of the Christmas song Do You Hear What I Hear?
Also if you were impressed with Rob rapping in this medley you will be blown away when you hear him singing opera with Austin. It’s called Two country singers try singing opera.
Thats amazing. Least he's doing well and is happy in his own time 😊

I hope you are feeling better Lee Jaay. I am enjoying your reactions of home free. #homefree #highlyreactive.
Thank you for those kind words of support
If nothing else, their phenomenal talents and hard-fast friendships has kept these guys together for so long. And we all hope it will persevere for another 4 or 5 decades! They have been my favorite vocal group since rediscovering acapella performance with the Sing off TV show (2010-2014). As you know Home Free won the trophy in 2013!

Thank you for your support Dawn 😊
#HomeFree
Our guys never take themselves too seriously. We love them for their easy-going attitude.
Sometimes that's what you need in life 😊
This song was Chris' idea, and arranged by Chris Rupp, Layne Stein (of VoicePlay), and Adam Rupp. The 'Big 3' acapella groups have different styles, so there's no animosity, and they often collaborate with each other.
Love that
If you want a chance to hear more of Chris check out Adam Rupp’s arrangemet of “Do You Hear What I Hear.”
Which is very much worth a listen anyway, as it takes one of the dullest Christmas song and gives it zing.
My FAVE Home Free Christmas song❤❤❤
Thank you for the recommendation
They don't take themselves too seriously 😂Love these guy's 😂
Respect the hell out of that 😂
#HomeFree - Love this group, this video is hysterical!
Defintely 😂
This is truly Home Free. 🥰 Sometimes I can get tears in my eyes because it is so emotional 😢and other times I have those tears too but from laughing😂. But always it's so good!!! And than Rob's amazing whistling and rap. This is just hilarious. 🤣
Also pay close attention to what is happening in the background
Thats what you call real artists that can do that
# home free is via stupendous!!!
Thank younfor your comment
Chris Rupp, an Adam Rupp, are the two founders of Home Free
And we defintely thank them for creating it
Great reaction guys....if you want to hear Chris....check out Chris and Tim singing Long Black Train!
Thank you for the recommendation
Love Home Free and bass Tim Foust. You need to check out their friends from The Sing-Off VoicePlay and bass Geoff Castellucci. They even did a video together. Zombies vs. Hillbillies - Survivor (VoicePlay vs. Home Free). Geoff Castellucci arranged the song Elvira for Home Free to sing with the Oak Ridge Boys.
Thank you for the recommendations ☺️
Chris Rupp left the group to pursue a solo career. He has his own UA-cam channel if you’re interested. On his channel you will also find a five part video explaining how Home Free got started and how the members today joined.
We will have to check him out. Thank you for sharing
So glad you guys enjoyed it. It is a fun one.
I showed it to a group of too young’s and quite olds, and they were so confused. They didn’t recognize most of the songs. Didn’t understand that this is a fairly family friendly parody of some of the biggest songs about butts ever.
When you start getting into Home Free Christmas songs there is a wide variety of traditional and melancholy and funny.
Two originals are “Full of Cheer” with Chris Rupp and “Cold Hard Cash”.
Cold Hard Cash is an original but Chance sings in that one not Chris Rupp
@@Cat-fi4ie
What I meant “Full of Cheer” is with Chris.
And “Cold Hard Cash” is not with Chris.
🙂✌🏽
Looking forward to the Christmas holidays where we can smash out some of these holiday tracks 😊
This was so much fun! You have to love Home Free. The guy in the cutoff overalls is a good friend of Tim's. Love your reactions!
Thank you for your kind comment 😊
Excellent reaction! They are very fun and just down to earth great guys who are amazingly talented. # homefree
Gotta respect this group 😊
Check out their "Country Fried Pop Medley" for a little more of their humor. Also Chris Rupp. Chris was good, but I think they struck gold when they found Chance. Also, check out one of Adam Rupp's drum solos on UA-cam. And their cover of Garth Brooks' "Ain't Going Down til the Sun Comes Up" and the Doobie Bros' "Let the Music Play". Rupp shines.

No apology necessary. I hope that he got the medical assistance he needed and that he is recovering well.

No matter how silly their music never suffers.

Might have already been mentioned but there is a 5 or 6 part YT video on how the group got together in 2001, who was in the band when they first formed and how they came to the amazing lineup they have today. It's interesting to see and hear how they got it all together. I found them during the pandemic and have never found a cover or original by them I didn't like. Keep up the great reactions!!!! I'll be back!
We will have to check it out. Thank you for your kind words and information
I read in a comment that The melody of songs was Chris Rupp's idea and that Layne from voiceplay helped arrange it
Wow love that. Especially now as we have discovered Voiceplay alot more 😊
Great reaction! You guys are a hoot!
Yeah... Home Free makes people smile. Yet they can send a sober message too. And make you think.
So incredibly talented!
And btw, you scared the cr*p out of me!
So very glad you're feeling better.
Please take care. 😎✌
Thank you for the kind words 😊 We appreciate artists that aren't limited and can give you all the emotions

Chris Rupp quit Home Free to do his own individual projects. There was no dramatic bust ups If you want to see Chris sing some as a lead with Home Free, he does that with Country Fried Pop and Children Go Where I Send Thee which the group did with the late great Kenny Rogers.
Chris does a duet with Tim Foust, the bass, called Long Black Train. He also is part of another acapella group which includes Chris and Adam's sister Tristan. Their group is shown on Chris's, You Tube Channel.
Chris has made a series of videos about the history of Home Free. It starts with Chris, Adam, and Matt Atwood discussing about starting Home Free. It talks about the many struggles of starting an acapella group. They talk how Adam started beatboxing and how they came up with the name Home Free which Matt offered as a joke.
The next part is about how Rob joined his group. As a music major, Rob did numerous jobs to pay the bills. He joined Home Free when his previous acapella group disbanded.. Rob talks a lot about the previous members of the group. Home Free changed members quite a bit, especially basses.
Next video has Tim and Austin in Austin's home in Nashville. Tim tells how he joined Home Free for their first tour. Chris talks about how he kept asking Tim to join Home Free permanently. Then Austin talks about working as an entertainer on a cruise ship and saw Home Free. He wanted to join the group if ever there was a spot. Matt about that time joined his family's business. Austin then joined the group. Tim talks having to interpret for Austin as a fellow Southerner, since the other members from Minnesota couldn't understand Austin due to his accent.
There is a strong sense of family with Home Free. It doesn't just extend to the present members, but also past members
Also, that connection includes the unseen crew members.
BTW the guy in the cut overalls is one of Rob's best friends ( along with Tim Foust.) Rob's, friend v(I have forgotten his name) is in several Home Free video. He and Rob do a video channel on movie reactions. Rob, in case you don't know, has a very dry deadpan sense of humor.
All of the guys have a good sense of humor and are laid back. They are also very hard workers. As Austin said, it's not as glamorous as it looks. Most of their time is spent just traveling to different destinations. What they do is work and a business, but it is also a community.
Home Free has proven to be respectful of their fans, fellow musicians, various service organizations , the military. Veterans, crew members, even fellow competitors. The Buttz Remix was arranged by Lance Stein of Voiceplay. Voiceplay and Home Free were competitors on The Sing-Off. They have a friendship formed during the show. They did a video together after the show called Zombies vs Hillbillies.
Wow thank you for sharing that information. Least Chris is good and doing well for himself 😊
Love your reaction to the song! I'm you're doing okay, Lee Jay! Hope you're doing better, friend. This has always been one of my favorite songs just because it is so goofy, ya know, it's all about how you intend things. I had a friend of mine ask me if it didn't upset me that the whole thing was talking about women's butts. I said "Of course, not, no! They're just being silly, it's all in good fun. They seem like some of the sweetest dudes you could meet." So, yeah, it's super fun, makes me smile when I watch it. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, too. 🤣🙃😛
They also showed their own butts and not some lady butts.
We are glad you enjoyed the reaction Patricia 😊 doing better now, heart plays up alot. Yeah this song is just a track all in good jest
#HomeFree they shot 3 videos that day, if you watch in the beginning Chris Rupp (black cowboy hat) is just behind Tim singing Honky Tonk Bedonkey donkey. Then he disappeared then he's back. Chris said he went to get lunch for everyone including the ham sandwich. That Tim proceeds to eat on camera during the Paddy Cake With No Hands
Thank yoi for sharing that information 😊
This video is even funnier if you also get the background of Trace Adkins video for Honky Tonk Badonkadonk. It's a bit older and definitely unknown to most reactors to the Homefree one... It's also hilariously tongue in cheek paired with amazing voice in his own right, & gives context to so many visuals of this one! 😊
Haha we did love this one. Hilarious 😂
Another great reaction. Hope u r ok now. Try Hillbilly Bone, champagne Life on a Beer Budget, Good Ol Boy Good Time. If u want a tear jerker go for Dont Laugh at Me with the original artist. REAL country go for Elvira with the original Oak Ridge Boys who can STILL BELT OUT!! Nana Karen UK
Thank you Nana Karen. The hearts an ongoing issue so it comes and go's. Thank you for the support and recommendations
#HomeFree will never disappoint you guys. Great reactions boys. Keep’m coming. 😅
We are loving them

🎼🎼🎼👍🔥👍🎼🎼🎼 ... Bravo.. gents !! But , I don't think you noticed or recognized the different sings. Keep them coming .. especially Home Free gems .....
We knew most of them but not all of them
Chris Rupp wanted pursue his solo career. Chris is awesome, but IMO Chance has brought this group to another level. I think its because Chance can sing Bass to high tenor. Which gives Tim the opportunity to do more singing other than bass.
Chance defintely brings something different and we respect him
Since the holidays are coming up soon I know a few good ones you should react to is do you hear what I hear what i hear silent night. I love homefree version of grandma got ran over by a reindeer. Cold hard cash is a good snow globe. If you want to see all of homefree singing with Chris Rupp go to Chris's youtube channel and check out what child is this. Also check out angels we have heard on high on homefree's channel.
Thank you for the Christmas recommendations 😊

I'm a little late to the party. But I am glad to have found you. The Oak Ridge Boys group dates back to the 1940s. The Oaks in the video have been together AND performing for 50 years. Multiple accolades from Grammys to CMAs to Doves et al. Regrettably they are on their farewell tour and will retire the group at its conclusion. Please do a YT search for Oak Ridge Boys and you will find their channel with lots of their music.
We will have to check out the Oak Ridge Boys channel out ☺️
@@highlyreactivereactions If you want to hear the guy with the beard (William Lee Golden) take lead look for "Ozark Mountain Jubilee". It is one of their masterpieces.
If you want to learn a little bit about Chris, check out his reaction/breakdown of this song on his own channel. U will learn a lot about the behind the scenes and some about him.
Thank you for the advice 😊
You guys should look into Chris Stapleton, great artist, pretty much created his own genre. Recomend "Tennesee Whiskey" and "Cold" live at cma awards if nothing else. Also Teddy Swims, great voice, does a nice cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me"
Appreciate the recommendation 😊

If you like good videos, watch Home Free's version of Brother!

I think you will get a kick out of Megan Trainers ( All About That Bass ) they did a fantastic cover, and l laughed myself silly. Stay well.
Haha thank you for that
Is Lee Jaay okay? Please give an update.
The heart is an ongoing issue which has bad moments unfortunately. Going strong though 💪
Thank you. I have heart issues myself and know well how they can cause problems. @@highlyreactivereactions
so many pauses
Yep 👍
you pause a lot...just an observation
Appreciate your comment Poppy, yeah thats just how we roll on this channel 👍
#Home Free! You guys are definitely Home Fries! Your reaction has put a grin on my face that's going to take hours to get it back to normal. When you have some extra time check out Home Free's "From the Vault" series for some hilarious behind the scenes footage of some of their videos. Thanks for the giggles. Almost forgot, for more HF fun check out a HF original
"Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget", more whistling from Rob and a cameo from Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix.
Thank you so much Marciara 😊 That's what's it's all about and thank you aswell for those recommendations

You guys are great. This arrangement and execution of said arrangement is absolutely brilliant. So glad you did this one!
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
HF DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR is going to blow your mind. Chris in that one
Love watching ya'll just subscribed. I feel like they did a better job of the thong song then Cisco.😂 If you are familiar with Larping you gotta see "Brother". Heart Felt and Hilarious. Awesome video!
Thank you for your subscription and recommendations 😊
In an interview with Chris Rupp (black cowboy hat) he said this was his pet project. In summary, his sister had worked with a modeling agency and that's where most of the women came from. Since they didn't want to objectify the women, the only 'butts' are theirs. The man in the one shoulder overalls is "Beugs", a friend of Rob's who co-hosts on Rob's channel (he's in other videos as well).
Eric Beugler aka Beugs is Rob's cohost on the movie review podcast The Avid Indoorsmen. Those overalls he's wearing are the some ones worn by Tim in Champagne Taste. He's in Home Free's video White Christmas, one of only 4 where Chris Rupp and Adam Chance are both in, either both performing or one in the background. Chris went solo in May 2016, singing mostly christian themed songs and hymns. He was part of the group 7th Ave along with their sister Tristin. My favorites of theirs are Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk and a mashup called I Kissed a Girl in the House of the Rising Sun. His other group after that is Cypress Fyre. My favorite of theirs is No Diggity. Chris also has a really fun video out called Drinkin' With Me, sung with Adam Bastien. He has another live stage version of that song under his & Matt Atwood's name. Matt is one of the original members of Home Free.
You have to respect that and it was their butt's we appreciated 😂
@@highlyreactivereactions Truly. Flat white boy butts that they are, they're part of the whole sweet and sexy package of talent. And I'm including all six of them.
Its not a sandwich. Its a sammich! 😂😂 & Tim in the back just inhaling it is classic! 😅❤❤
🤣🤣
😂😂
😂 Great reaction ❤️ HF 🤠
Thank you so much Monica 😊
#home free. For their funny side check out "brother".
Thank you for that recommendation
Rob is an excellent whistler, if you hear whistling in a Home Free video it is more than likely Rob doing it. I hope you are feeling much better and it was nothing too serious.
Yeah that was really impressive tbf 👏
Did you catch Tim eating that sandwich? If you like funny, check out Tim Foust. A southerner in the snow. Love your reaction.
Thank you for the recommendation Kimberly 😊
Hope you're feeling ok LeeJaay. Thanks guys - fun reaction! 🍟 #HomeFree
Thank you Denise
Once I saw Tim devouring that ham sandwich, it's all I see 😂
