Brother by Home Free -- IT'S FINALLY TIME! LET'S DO THIS! -- 307 Reacts -- Episode 505

[@denise_landry]

Jimmy Bates who directed, filmed, and edited this video (and many others) brought this idea to the table, but Adam was instantly on board. Only Home Free could make a video with such a serious and beautiful song paired with such hilarity- and make it work!! Thanks Chris and Matt! 🖤🍟

[@barbaraisgolden]

🍟 How much talent does it take to put fans on the floor laughing at Brother and then turn around and bring them to tears With Brothers in Arms (for example). Just watch Home Free 'Make their own Magic' ! THAT'S how much talent it takes! (I always suspected Adam was a Wizard!) 🍟

[@richb313]

Without Adam Rupp there is no Home Free so finally a video and song that gives him the respect he deserves.

[@milomurphy9178]

I had a feeling that both Adams raided their own closets for the wardrobe for this one.

[@lschoenrank]

I think I heard that Chance already had the Mandalorian helmet, and Adam already had that cape. Gotta wonder where Tim got the inflatable dragon he's "riding". Is it Toothless, from How to Train Your Dragon? If so, I guess that would make him Hiccup.

[@karinfichtner7479]

I can't remember which one, but Chance is pictured in his helmet briefly in one video.

[@callie3396]

My son found Tim's dragon online and ordered it for his Halloween costume 🎃.

[@wolfe6220]

​​​@@lschoenrank Yes, Tim is Hiccup. I know the cape and the staff (a fan gift) are his. I'd be shocked (shocked I tell ya!) if the whole get up wasn't his. As a matter of fact, if Adam didn't contribute all of the outfits for the whole cast, except Chance, Id be surprised.

[@joannlandrum6171]

Brother is a Christian song by NeedtoBreathe. Did you notice that just before Austin runs to Rob's defense, Austin is missing an elf ear? Yes, Adam takes you into his D&D game room in his home (Home Away From Home Episode 6 "Adam's Place).

[@debbiestumm511]

I had to watch it twice... first time watching everyone and laughing my ass off, second time had shut my eyes to listen to their vocals! I've watched it at least 50 times! Love it so much. Amberely's face and when she blasted Austin is hilarious 😂. Tim on his dragon from How to train your dragon cracks me up. Was like 100* that day in Nashville. The bandaid has Boo Boo written on it! 😂

[@hellefur7861]

IT was their videographer Jimmy Bates idea. IT took me several watches to get the lyrics, because the video are so hillarious distracting. The original was from Needtobreath. Did you see Amberly keep "whacking" Austin? No wonder he needed an icepack 😂😂😂

[@theloneranger8725]

Yeah, well, that's what he gets for staring at that hot blonde that morning. Wonder what she hit him with when they got home?

[@epiphany519]

So the band-aid Tim put on Rob's finger actually said "Boo Boo" so yes, he "Kissed Da Boo Boo Better". Tim went down when his riding dragon deflated. Amberly is the one that killed Austin when he was comforting Rob when he went down. She gave him the WTF look that was classic. Agree totally about the "level" they're at. They're famous but not so famous as to be assholes. Great vid. Great reaction. Take care all.

[@307Reacts]

Thanks, Epiphany! They really killed it on this one!!

[@pennygarrity386]

I LOVED THIS!!! Dungeons and dragons come to life with a touch of Stars Wars, Braveheart and LOTR thrown in for good measure. I'll bet Adam (the dungeon master) enjoyed the hell out of making this video!!!! So glad he got to be the hero. Spectacular!!!! BTW I couldn't do a cartwheel as a kid let alone at 40. Good Job Adam!

[@DiamondRioFan1]

As I've said before in other reactions, one thing I learned watching this is NEVER do ANYTHING to upset Adam Rupp!! I love how at the end, everyone else is licking their wounds and Adam is getting ready for the next battle. Great reaction y'all!!!

[@wilshade]

Since that thing first came out, I posted that the guys all lost a bet with Rupp. 🤣

[@tedharvick9010]

Yep, as a Wowhead, I can totally see Adam as a mage.

[@dgpatter]

If you want to see that D&D room, do Down To The Honkytonk. It was a quarantine song that shows their home life. Adam’s wife is camera shy so his scenes were him with his figurines etc. Amberly (who “killed” Austin in this video) wasn’t in his COVID bubble, so it’s him and his roommate. But you see the others’ families.

[@reginaminton1135]

Glad y'all had a chance to do this song. The guys are so much fun and goofy as can be. I still keep going back to watch it over and over. Thanks y'all.

[@jerlynneallison6361]

If you watch the video 'Quarantine' you can see, behind Adam Rupp, all his figurines that he uses in his D&D games...there has to be HUNDREDS!! 🤯 It's amazing! Great reaction guys!! 🥰🥰🥰 I'd love to play D&D with him.😉😁⚔️

[@nightthornkvala94132]

One of Home Free's behind the scenes videos is Home Away From Home Episode 6: Adam's Place! He gives us a glimpse of his home and shows us a lot of great things from the early days of the group. He shows us his D&D game room and a gathering of several of his mates for a game. Very interesting even is you aren't into gaming.

[@daventunes3822]

Austin loses an elf ear early on in the fighting. Heh. And Amberley has some of the best moments in the whole thing.

[@wilshade]

You guys are absolutely right. They are at a level of fame that would be good to stay at. If they suddenly blew up into mega stars, I have a feeling all of the magic would drain away. Right now, they are still us. Great at what they do. But, they are still us.

[@minneyruth]

This needs to be posted everywhere!! Lol 🥰🥰🏠🍟

[@gregsteele806]

Yeah. Kind of blew my mind hearing Tim and Austin saying "Hey, we'll come to your backyard and sing!"

[@JoanN63]

Home Free=Brotherhood=5Brothers💖 This is so awesome!!! A cover from Needtobreathe! The video is so sweet and funny but at the same time so cool!!! Beautiful how they are dressed up, all one by one fabulous. What a beautiful start from Chance with a voice so smooth and sexy. And even though it looked cool, it was almost a shame that you didn't see his face through that helmet for a while. 😊 Then our soulful Rob, the teddy bear with his beautiful voice as soft as silk and his very high note!! ❤ Who sings while lying down and later received a sweet kiss on his injured finger from Tim😂 Tim with his beautiful pathetic dragon and who with his bass could have knocked everyone down in my opinion. 😉 Austin with his amazing moves and a voice just like he looked. And I think Amberly loved knocking him down. 😅 Then Adam Rupp, who I think has always been magical with his vocal percussion/vocal sounds, but proved once again that he is The Magier/The Wizard and the glue of Home Free. He was incredible and handsome again. 🥰 A song so beautifully sung and will definitely be on my playlist of favorite songs💞😍

[@johntucker4296]

The real theme of the song is early on when Adam pounds his scepter on the ground to the word "love".

[@janicenyborg8490]

He is big into D&D but he also plays Magic The Gathering and others. The staff was handmade and gifted to him by a Home Fry last fall

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Adam Chance is into Star Wars, like Adam Rupp is into D&D

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Great rendition of NeedToBreathe hit 👏👏👏

[@pennygarrity386]

Me and my grandson just started Stranger Things even though my daughter and oldest grandson have seen it all the way through. I think HF is perfect just the way they are but I think they deserve the accolades, awards and industry recognition that so many other groups receive and might i add, groups and artists that aren't nearly as connected to their fans as HF.

[@quiltie1774]

I think Ruppster game room is episode 4 of their at home series. Super cool.

[@babyfry4775]

Oh they’re nuts and I love them. This is such a great song by Need 2 Breathe (Christian group) and they’re warriors singing about brotherhood. Loved it. An Elf, Knight on a dragon, Braveheart, Mandolorian and a Wizard/Mage. Yeah Adam is heavily into Dungeons and Dragons. Chance is into Star Wars. Just too funny. Loved Tim kissing Rob’s boo boo. Drinking a Capri Sun. Laughed all the way through while they sounded beautiful. One of my new favorites. Love you guys! Great reaction.🥰

[@maryhumphrey3002]

That is Adam Rupp to a tee. That is so super fantastic.

[@trunkmonk2521]

Yes! Adam Rupp is very big on the D&D universe. Chance is also into RPGs and is really into Star Wars - like deep into the lore! Chance has actually DM'd a RPG with his wife and some friends. It's called Rougery Galactic. It's like Star Wars meets Guardians of the Galaxy with a D&D base. You can listen to it's entirety on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcast. Any who read this, definitely check it out. Also, fun fact: The girl warrior who takes out Austin in this video is his girlfriend, Amberly (or maybe Amber Lee). I love that these guys are not just great artists, but also great entertainers. Love listening to your guys reactions!

[@marshac7738]

There are no words!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Adam Rupp--the wizard of Home Free🪄

[@sharonmortimer3843]

The girl was Austin's beautiful girlfriend Amberly. Chance's outfit is actually his own. This is a cover of a Need to Breathe song. Truly enjoyed watching your reactions to this song.

[@307Reacts]

Thank you, Sharon, we appreciate the info! This one was so much fun!

[@debragonser745]

It’s like they are all sitting at Adam Rupps dungeons and dragons table playing! So good!

[@teresamontgomery9060]

I believe it was Avi Kaplan that slayed Tim's dragon. Great video. Loved your reaction!

[@lschoenrank]

I've been wondering about that.

[@lindanearing4710]

There's nothing about this I don't love. It has everything. The performance of the song is gorgeous. They sound so freaking good. The video has funny moments, sweet, adorable moments, bonding in brotherhood moments and epic hero moments. I was so excited to see Adam get to be the hero in this cause he's heavy into gaming, especially D & D. How cool are you when you bring your own costume to a fantasy/LARP themed video shoot!!!?? Yeah, that's Adam's personal costume. Chance is also into gaming and Star Wars so I'm pretty sure that's his Mandalorian helmet. All of them did fantastic and you could tell they fully committed once Adam convinced them to do it. He , of course, was on board as soon as Jimmy Bates brought them the idea and Jimmy did an exceptionally great job on this. This video was recorded in the middle of an extreme heat wave and they were exhausted by the time it was done. Great song, great video. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@vickiadkins9844]

My new favorite, till the nxt one comes along!!❤

[@joannmonte2978]

The BTS on this is so funny….

[@edithdavis2848]

This was great, never turn Adam Rupp loose to arrange a video. You get Wizards, Knight, Elf Braveheart and Stormtrooper With Austin's girlfriend killing him. Adam's basement is a Dungeon one full wall of D&D figurines he makes all the figurines.

[@todderickson2435]

Home Free is THE BEST, and you guys are awesome! The End

[@colleenleavitt1777]

Rob should get an academy award for his dieing scene! 🤣😂 That was a fun video...and I thought the song was amazing too!!

[@sueby1962]

As a Dungeons and Dragons nerd, this was everything!!!

[@marlahudgins7038]

This is so so so so good and Adam saves the day which makes it even better since this is Adam's fantasy battle . I love how Tim kisses Rob's boo boo, he is such a sweet man. Lol Does anyone else get turned on when Adam saves the guys? lol

[@tfawns1147]

I'm a big nerd/geek who has been into D&D and video games since the 80's and this video made me laugh and fist pump. The singing was ok too. 🤓 /s

[@jq5609]

Absolutely fantastic, did you catch Austin with only one elf ear 🤣🤣

[@johnschroeder3591]

Thanks for explaining D&D aspect. I'm too old to be involved with it. Makes sense now. Good review.

[@sherryschoenlein8951]

Great reaction, knew you guys would like this one!! No need to apologize you're allowed to have a life outside of reacting, take care. ☺️

[@theloneranger8725]

Hey, guys. Great reaction on this one. I chuckled all the way through the video, but I totally lost it at the end with Adam Rupp reading "Make Your Own Magic." Priceless. Keep up the craziness, guys.

[@debbiestumm511]

Y'all getting lots of watches...since I first watched this it was at about 150 and now just below 300! Was waiting for y'all to drop this one. Just saw them live Thur and had a blast!!! Adam was freaking amazing!!

[@debbiestumm511]

So awesome...2 hrs since I watched and now at 640 watches! So cool for you all!

[@bethcoussou]

Yes! You did it! Thank you! Was this one fun to watch or what? So cool, but it has some funny moments! Favorite humor is Amberly’s expression after Rob falls! Rob was getting a Baby Shark bandage put on his finger, too! Love these guys so much, especially knowing they had to endure extreme heat in those costumes! Loved your reaction!

[@thelivingmiracle]

Yes, this is a cover I don't even do any research to know this is originally from a Christian group. *Edit* after research it's from NEEDTOBREATHE ft. Gavin Degraw

[@tammymoseley1348]

Another fun cover of that song is done by Jensen Ackles at some (many) of the Supernatural conventions. Maybe not worth a reaction, but definitely worth a watch.

[@teresacartwright5406]

P.S. - I think Adam Rupp should put out a beatboxing fitness video - he has a great build!

[@mariangelesbergallo8936]

🔥🔥🔥

[@TheLadyDraconus]

I’ve gone to a LARP waaaaay back in the day and loved it. It would be fun if I can get my kids into it. Great reaction fellas.

[@lynnwood84]

YAAAAAS!!!

[@sjenny5891]

Remember when Tim blew that speaker at that concert and they all high fived him? Made it funnier

[@toodlescae]

Tim is channeling How to Train Your Dragon. 🤣 I saw the original trilogy once each and was done. The only reason I watched the other 2 was for Harrison Ford anyway. 😜

[@bernieregnier4500]

I nominate this production for several Music Awards across all Genres 1) Best Vocal Cover 2) Best Video Production 3) Best Arrangement 4) Best Acting in a Video Vocal Production 5) Best Use of Patreons in a Vocal Video Production 6) Best A Capella Group Ever in recording history known to mankind 7) Best Sound and Sound Production Artist Great Job Home Free!!!! 🎶🔥🔥🎼

[@jillchamberlain6478]

The woman who knocks Austin on the back when he is helping Rob is Austin’s lady Amberley

[@debbiehall9091]

Absolutely love this song and video. How can you not love these guys. ❤️❤️❤️

[@SBQDawn]

I'm sooo happy right now. Lets go guys this is going to be great !!!! you guys are worth the wait

[@SusanneRoberts-pb7eb]

If never laughed so hard when I heard you say "oh the dinosaur "pmsl.Trying to imagine how hard it would be to ride a bloody dinosaur .😂😂😅

[@andreaislandgirl720]

The guys always seem to be having so much fun in their videos. Their videographer Jimmy Bates came up with the idea, but as you can guess it was very well received by the group despite filming in 100 degree heat. Adam is a D&D dungeon master with a big setup in his house including a lot of figurines. If you want to see them, watch Home Away From Home Episode 6: Adam's Place! kzbin.info/www/bejne/onyliYynjbWmsKc

[@lisamcbride8921]

It’s a cover of the band Alice In Chains song!

[@jackiepierce1467]

There is an HF video where Rupp is painting little characters from looks like could be the D&D. I'm not sure. And, I can't remember the video. So, I'm relying on other posters to tell you what that is. I know it was one of their pandemic videos.

[@minneyruth]

Lol I was waiting impatiently 😅 I love y'all. ❤️

[@janethoffman4197]

The song is awesome and the video hilarious! Love your reactions!

[@callie3396]

I was so sure that you were going to say "Oh no, Overalls!" when Rob went down.

[@quiltie1774]

Can’t wait until they release the behind the scenes video for this one.

[@trunkmonk2521]

This song is from the group Need To Breathe, and features Gavin Degraw. It's played on a lot of contemporary Christian stations.

[@teresacartwright5406]

I love this video - the song, the singing and the message of the song!

[@terrichristenson432]

These 5 guys truly are something special !!! I am one of those devoted fans and there is no need for me to venture into other groups, Home Free is all I need. I am enjoying your reactions very much, kep up the great work !!

[@r.d.stratford106]

Love it!

[@donnamcgowan4063]

Good morning!

[@kareng1894]

This is so much fun! Thanks guys! ^_^

[@debbiestumm511]

I just love you two... y'all crack me up! I think I've watched this 20 times! 😂

[@joanwharff6483]

It’s a cover of …. NEED2BREATH….& done so GOOD ‼️🔥‼️

[@antrazitaj5209]

This is a cover, I love this. Before this I actually only knew this song from when Jensen Ackles did a cover of that at a SPN Con

[@kimmelvin866]

I sent a link to this to my cousin. He has a suit of armor and sword fights as a hobby. This was so much fun. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@BettyP1952]

Lyrics are the focus!

[@Hashtag_Not_All_Hippies]

Can't help it. I know it was over a year ago that y'all did this reaction. I've seen other channels do a reaction to this video, too. Some of them, I revisit. But I love your reaction. You're clearly both having a lot of fun watching it, and also remarking on the great vocals as well. And, as a person who's been playing DnD since 1979, I appreciate both their video and y'all's impressions of it.

[@307Reacts]

We appreciate you coming back to watch with us! Thank you!

[@madamred2061]

#HOGFry checking in! This was awesome!!!

[@belinda9696]

Bill Burr does everything! I think he was an actor before he was even a comedian.

[@debragonser745]

Hilarious that Austin’s girlfriend is second to Rob! Lol

[@brendasorenson6186]

So it took y'all some time to get around to reacting to this one... y'all got lives and real jobs and other obligations, so no problem.

[@-.NYX.-]

this was just brilliant... I love you both ( Shout to glenrock Wy) ♥

[@307Reacts]

Hey NYX, are you in Glenrock?!

[@quiltie1774]

I have been waiting for you to do this one!

[@billsturm9225]

This is a cover. The original group is Need to Breath

[@billsturm9225]

So a few more added things. Adam did have some influence on this but it was their videographer that was all about the LARPING, that was Amberly that killed Austin. I watched the premiere and the guys were saying it was 3 hell's hot the day they filmed and they were dying

[@gailcline1910]

You all are so funny

[@tracyallshouse2730]

Love you guys❣❣

[@BettyP1952]

I keep watching this video over and over!! ❤❤❤

It's a cover from the Christian group NEEDTOBREATH.

Damn Chris cut his hair and beard

[@johnkillgo2327]

Could Adam have been a Bard ( I think it's part fighter, part magic user ).

[@lauranichols945]

It’s a dragon, not a dinosaur!

Needtobreathe is a Christian Rock band.
