[@larrypholbrook]

I say "shit!" hehehe purely visceral reaction to initial question on doggy doo doo

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

Mama Sed is the best Puscifer song. They never play it the same way twice!!!

[@timothybirkley8853]

This is not hyperbole...When they played this in Akron in '16 there wasn't a dry eye in the theater. A whole room full of black shirts & metal heads with tears streaming down their faces...one of the most powerful moments I've ever witnessed at a concert.

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

I think this song was in season 1 of Yellowstone.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

I can imagine that. It's just a hard hitting song spiritually for me and the lyrics are amazing.

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

@@jack-of-all-trades1234 It was and everything that was happening while it played made the scene so insane.

[@Kathie4]

Wow... that's all I can say.

[@hayteren]

By definition, that is hyperbole. But yes, it's a nice song.

[@lunarlia123]

I used to spend every Sunday for over a year with a good friend who was passing from cancer at 33. This was one of the songs on his playlist. I can’t listen to this song without crying, it’s a beautiful song.

[@jaymelton2663]

I'm sorry. My life long best friend is dying of cancer now at 52. I'm so sorry.

[@shanefetterolf6707]

Fun fact: This song was used in the intro for the game Transformers: Fall of Cybertron…… It plays so perfectly to the video I thought it was an original until I heard it from Puscifer much later

[@LieutenantTryhard]

SAME BRO!!! I Remember Way Back I would Just Sit Idle in the Menu just to see the Video over and over again for the song 😭😭😭 I Was Mind Blown finding it on KZbin

[@commandershep7120]

​@@LieutenantTryhard yo saaaaaaame

[@AprilPeabody]

You still have some solid options for Puscifer! I'd love to hear Potions, the Mission (M for Mila mix) or Grand Canyon if you haven't done those yet 😊

[@allin1-bd262]

TILL ALL ARE ONE

[@Kathie4]

My favorite Puscifer song ❤ I agree with that idea of "simple & powerful" simultaneously. It still gives me chills.

[@senjuebro]

Jesus’s message was simple❤️

[@christyyutzy8504]

Held my daddy's hand as he died, he told me to not cry, he'd meet by the river. This song will always mean a lot to me.

[@jrod112278]

Such a beautiful and haunting song that makes me emotional. Glad you loved it.

[@audreywatko1078]

❤I've been waiting for this one❤ THE HANDS OF THE MANY MUST JOIN AS ONE, TOGETHER WE'L CROSS THE RIVER✌💕

[@jrod112278]

It's a message we should all take to heart.

[@terribleterrier1685]

This is by far my favorite Puscifer song. I'm glad you finally got to this gem!

[@imhappyandyou.4003]

Maynard is a poetic SOB and I mean that in the best way possible. His words and the instruments used in perfect harmony is something truly amazing/special. This song spoke to me in spiritual way not to sound cheesy.. Anyways it's great to see your reaction to it and hearing your thoughts about it. Hope/pray that all is well with you and your family everyone here. 🙏🙏🍻

[@aprilboyd9104]

I’ve been listening to them since they started and well they are wonderful. Tool was the first band I listened to and then a perfect circle, then puscifer. Maynard is just truly a genius. I mean I have no words on how to describe him. He’s just amazing as is everyone in these bands creating music with him. They are even great in concert. If you can go see any one of these bands with Maynard.

[@jessicaspaw528]

It's not just a concert, it's a true experience. But you really need to be on the floor!! It's life changing!

[@jessevasquez7958]

Listen to momma sed live version omg I love this rendition I who have lost my mother 20 yrs ago this song was a gift to my heart

[@shadoeblythe3540]

It's totally normal for your dog doing that. She,right? Is just as stressed as you are moving to a new place. They also pick up on our emotions. Don't scold, but show empathy and say you're okay, then take her outside. Once she realizes you're understanding her, it will change, I promise you. I rescue dogs from horrific situations, and what has always helped is letting them know, "It's okay." 5 years ago, I adopted a Staffy Pity , she only weighed 96 pounds and so traumatized! Her weight now is 110. She still stays wherever I am (anxiety), but other than that, she still doesn't let me trim her nails. She has never used the bathroom in the house, but once . It was the first week with me, and it was around 3 a.m. she woke me up whimpering. When I turned the lights on, she was shaking and cowardly, so I sat down beside her and told her it was okay on repeat until she came over to me and laid her head on my lap. Then I said, "Let's go "out, " emphasizing out. It's never happened again. She's laying beside me now. You got this Polo. If it upsets you try and calm yourself before talking with your dog 🐕. Let me know if she's okay now. Respect

[@davidschreurs1366]

Try with pheromone plug in, lot of people having good results

[@briancroft5601]

I'm glad you finally did this song, it's very good. Try Conditions of my Parole next, but it has to be the video, not live.

[@gregoryrobb2604]

Maynard and Carina are the perfect duo!

[@HopeUnger-r7f]

This is my number one favorite song from them.

[@scooterreacts1822]

Puscifer have some amazing songs for you to listen to Polo. They do 3 different versions of one of their songs - Momma Sed. All epic!

[@crystalscolza1663]

I love that! somebody give him the links of the three versions ....there's another reactor that did all three versions in one video. Crazy sick to see the progression of one song, kind of like what tool did with push it

[@Fabadaba]

Nothing beats live at Nokia... 💯🔥💕☺

[@crystalscolza1663]

I am tied for my fav.,.. between the "what is" DVD version and the Parole Violator, version

[@waynesmith4432]

The Nagual Del Judith remix or the V is for Versatile version are just as good. Puscifer has multiple versions of literally every song.

[@waynesmith4432]

I suggest the songs Galileo, Tiny Monsters, Life of Brian (Apparently You Haven’t Seen), Autumn, Undertaker and Undertaker V is for Versatile version. Many more but I’ll stop there.

[@erinna_the_white_rose]

When I reacted to this song I was blown away! I'm glad you enjoyed the song. Yes it sounds tribal . Great word

[@aaronwolf3587]

This is Maynard’s Kumbaya moment, lol. And I love it. I remember waiting for a new Tool album after Aenima and thinking, “this guy can really sing and possibly has some softer shit in the works”. Next thing you know APC comes out cause he’s bored of waiting on the Tool geniuses. I felt kinda validated back then. Then the next year they proceeded to melt everyone’s face off with Lateralus. Maynard makes me want to go to work on my day off just so I don’t look lazy✌️

[@stephenroby8498]

Possibly the most famous track off of the seventh project by Maynard James Keenan’s creative playground Puscifer, “The Humbling River” is a ballad that laments failure, portraying the tumultuous road to stardom as a battle. The track’s narrator depicts his own journey, telling us of all of the difficult things he’s accomplished, yet fallen short of at the last moment-all in the first two verses. Nature, nurture heaven and home Sum of all, and by them, driven To conquer every mountain shown But I've never crossed the river Braved the forests, braved the stone Braved the icy winds and fire Braved and beat them on my own Yet I'm helpless by the river Angel, angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river? Angel, angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river? Pay no mind to the battles you've won It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle Open your heart and hands, my son Or you'll never make it over the river It'll take a lot more than words and guns A whole lot more than riches and muscle The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river It'll take a lot more than words and guns A whole lot more than riches and muscle The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river Nature, nurture heaven and home It'll take a lot more than words and guns Sum of all, and by them, driven A whole lot more than riches and muscle To conquer every mountain shown The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river Braved the forests, braved the stone It'll take a lot more than words and guns Braved the icy winds and fire A whole lot more than riches and muscle Braved and beat them on my own The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river Nature, nurture heaven and home And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river Nature, nurture heaven and home And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river

[@timmarks8450]

Polo, there is some brilliant irony in what you 'went through' before listening to The Humbling River. Love your stuff, Man!

[@laurabuer4714]

This song is so soothing. Puscifer is absolutely fantastic. Don't sleep on them. I hope I can be a winemaker for Caduceus Cellars one day. Edit; listen to Momma Sed, please.

[@krestophvon-spake9493]

Check out Green Valley, Horizons and/or Tumbleweed by Puscifer if you havnt already. Those and Humbling River are my favs.

[@danwest9900]

Polo, I'm sorry to hear that the move has been stressing you. Moving sucks! I hope that everything goes smoothly, and you get yourself and doggo settled in soon. Another great Puscifer song: Horizons, Man Overboard, Oceans, or Tiny Monsters. Take good care!

[@tomratcliff3755]

Pretty cool song, takes me back to HS, when my mind was opened to new music, as I met people from around the country and around the world and we all learned to find our common humanity.

[@ErikDeSart]

What a great response! Yes sir you have been. Welcome to the show. :)

[@iamkrohn]

I see all these react channels listening to Maynard. Can we just agree that Maynard makes great music that anyone can appreciate

[@jessicaspaw528]

You have to listen to the whole concert of Puscifer alive at Club Nokia it is the best Puscifer you will ever hear

[@SmittenKitten.]

Our huskies sleep in our bedroom. Their hearing is so fine (like most dogs) that they hear everything throughout the house. I have stepped in warm dog vomit before, and it is so awful. It's been ages, but I can still recall the physical feeling.

[@timothybirkley8853]

Also, when it comes to Puscifer, don't sleep on the remixes! I know a lot of reactors want to hear the original versions first, but many of their remixes are better than the originals, and some of them give you a better idea of MJK's sense of humor. I recommend 'The Mission-M is for Milla Mix', 'Sour Grapes-Legends of the Mix', 'Rev 22:20-Don't Shoot the Messenger Version', 'Drunk with Power-Hungover and Hostile in Hangover Mix', 'Sour Grapes-Where's the Line? Mix', 'Cuntry Boner-Disco Viagra Mix' and 'Balls to the Wall-Pillow Fight Mix'.

[@cadleo]

Cuntry Boner and World Up My Ass are must listens for Puscifer

[@brandonfiest6368]

Counting bodies like sheep to the Rythm of the war drums- a Perfect circle. you will not be disapointed, very unique.

[@DMcElfresh101]

For sure, Pet is good, but Counting Bodies Like Sheep took it to whole different feel.

[@crayb420]

Polo should just do an entire album of tool chronologically, or throw some back to back songs. That way you get to feel its entirety. Just saying ❤still grateful to whichever you take the time to make

[@2jsaldan]

Hey man. Check out Puscifer's Rev 22:20 Ren holder mix. It's the song in Underworld. Great song.

[@oldsoulsheart]

Beautiful.

[@robertjones4361]

This is the best Puscifer song...period, Maynard is haunting in this one, and I got chills first time I heard it as well

this is the Chill song of the century. Amazing.

Well chosen sir. Takes alot more than rage and muscle. Cheers.

definitely my FAVORITE Puscifer song. You should listen to their song "Potions" next!

[@danwest9900]

LOVE that song! Keenan and Reznor collaboration.

Which song was it where they said “hoooome, so far away, come on home”

I'd highly recommend listening to "Polar Bear", has another chill vibe

[@kevinslayzak1214]

Great song.... deep...we all have a river to cross.

[@LukesBioBug]

I really love this song! One of Maynard's best, regardless of what group he has been with.

[@edjen42]

Great reaction! Would love to see you do APC’s Gravity. I think it’s another one you would love.

[@nicquinn7291]

You should take a trip to Jerome AZ. Visit the puscifer store and drink some of Maynard’s wine. It’s a great time and it’s beautiful country. You can see the inspiration for a lot of puscifer music. The song Grand Canyon is a great example.

[@slymind4919]

love your reaction to this. maynard can do anything, and this was an off-shoot, and yet still amazing! great job, Polo!

I really would like you to get to A Perfect Circle, Passive. The song has a personal joy for myself, as it worked its way into my mind -- creating an entire novel. But I would like to hear what you get out of it.

[@Yates1712]

Yeeeeees! I get chills every time I hear it.

[@RevTyler]

Maynards son Devo sings on the track too. He's the 3rd voice.

[@mobeus84]

U gotta do the Perfect Circle records now man. 1st 2 are all time

[@jessicalingo4346]

I like how as the song progresses you hear more and more artists joining in the singing. Adds to the message of needing to band together to cross that river.

[@chapelperilous9966]

Puscifer - Grand Canyon would be a great next reaction to them!

[@cadleo]

Excellent song. More Puscifer! Some amazing choices: Queen B, Indigo Children, Vagina Mine, The Mission, Green Valley

[@JBAKER97]

Yeah I like this one too. Quality music.

Back when COVID was starting to spread, I was hospitalized for some emergency surgery. Was pretty rough as the COVID patients started pouring in. After a week I went home, and the very first song that played from my music app was a Puscifer song called apocalyptical. Creeped me right out. GIve it a whirl

[@poncandn1]

good one

[@lastborn11]

So I was camping with friends on the Verde River in Az aka the Humbling River …when we all awoke to the sound of a lil’ dog yakking out of the calmest and darkest night I’ve spent in a tent… my friend and I simultaneously spouted out from the stuper of our slumber to our other friend “ I think your dog threw up” to which he reply’s “yeah and it was in my hand “ 😂 “and it’s worse that waking up to someone dipping your hand in warm water” & the cosmic circle is complete😊

[@tammycortez4633]

That’s because you have to have humility and absolute faith which is not manufactured or manipulated it’s truth and Maynard knows this like I know it took the death of my son experiencing what a lot will never allow themselves to experience fully true love and the loss of it understanding only then that it does exist gifted by god when knowing that is when your heart and mind open and faith unwaving you find , embrace, respect. Once that happens doubt leaves and gratitude, humility and eventually wisdom replaces.

[@redmcewen4355]

Conditions of my Parole and Potions are awesome songs, too. Great video. Thank you for your content.

[@limitlessstimulusshortstories]

I don’t seem to see anyone suggesting Polar Bear by Puscifer. It’s the first song I ever heard by Puscifer after being a long, long time fan of Tool & APC and I instantly fell in love. It might not be their best, but it’s def fire and well worth your time. ❤

[@jessicaspaw528]

You've got to watch Puscifer live at Club Nokia I'm telling you. It will change your life. It's gorgeous.

[@mobeus84]

U were right too. The melody alone is fire. Forget the lyrics (which take it iver the top) and the drums.

[@christophersteel1424]

I used to live with a woman that fosters dogs. If I step in shit or piss or vomit then to me it's like "wash it off and move on, the dog didn't mean to inconvenience me." Like, damn I wish I let the dog outside in time.

[@raazazuul32]

Green Valley is one of my faves.

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

Somewhere out there is a version of this song by Tool. The video was simply titled New Tool and the year (I forget). It's this song, slowed way down. It's the prettiest music I've ever heard. I've only heard it twice tho, cos my fone broke, and I can't find it anywhere now. If you know it, plz comment the link for me. Ty

[@mobeus84]

ALSO!! If u wanna hear the first stuff Maynard did as "Puscifer" check out the song Potions and then his first real single called Queen B. Queen B is a bad ass Vibe bro. Maynard calls this project his ego and comedian side letting loose.

[@rockyalls4386]

Dogs get very stressed when moved, they have to get used to a new environment without knowing why. They way they react is usually through a bodily release as you experienced. It will get better as your dog gets used to your new place :)
