Austin's cats name is DAWG , yea he's a Georgia fan

[@pamelagoodman7559]

You can always count on Austin. His musical theatre training just shines; he does costumes, hairdos and character.

[@antrazitaj5209]

What happened to Tim is that he was committed to the assignment, eyeliner, walking man, worm and all

[@brendasorenson6186]

That was Dawg, Austin's cat! Glad you caught Dawg photo-bombing!

[@musikbyjh]

What?!?! The cat's name is DAWG?!?!?! Oh man...I just love these guys more and more. hahaha

[@lrfcowper]

Dawg loves the camera, apparently.

[@Fervent-Ennui]

Austin was a musical theater major in college, and you can TELL because he can "get into character" like nobody's business.

[@jeffreyjacobs390]

No matter how silly or sane ..... one thing remains = THEY ARE THE GOODS !!! Phenomenal

[@dagmar.6954]

That was hilarious! They rick rolled a lot of us. These guys are so goofy & funny but the vocals never suffer. This was them spoofing the famous song by Rick Astley from the 80's. They copied the clothes, hairstyles & dance moves from the original video. Also they filmed it in the old resolution from that time. The guys were very creative in bringing us great content during the pandemic.

[@musikbyjh]

Oh they def got us. That's for sure. This was so fun! I'm familiar with Rick. I grew up in the 80's, and I also engineered one of his performances for the iHeart Radio 80's Party at the Colosseum in LA. What a blast! I'm so glad all the Home Fries had these guys (and they had YOU) during the pandemic. I'm sure that felt good for a lot of people.

[@mamabears34]

Well said! A perfect description of what went on with back then with this Home Free April Fools joke on their fans! LOL. Home Free really is the whole package when it comes to entertaining. They don't take themselves too seriously and always looks like they all love what they do!

[@stanrock2225]

They have so much fun

I’ve seen these guys four times already and they are hilarious and amazing and incredible all at the same time. No better group of singers.

[@charleneclaassen]

This was our April Fool's treat. BUT! I am still sulking because they never did Queen for real. Tempting us like that and not following through when they sound so good?! Cruel cruel cruel. Dawg also highjacked Austin's video for WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD (amongst others). Love that cat.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

That's one (among many) solo video of Austin's to check out. Dawg and hie doggie brothers Titus and Koda decided to come in and see what Daddy and Uncle Sebbie were up to and Dawg decided to settle down on Austin's lap for some petting. The guys never missed a note. Beautiful.

[@patriciamcl54]

@@nightthornkvala94132 Dawg is also the star of Real Talk, and steals the show in the acoustic version of Off the Grid. His appearance among the massed ranks of patrons in Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for shouldn't be overlooked.

[@teresacartwright5406]

In one of the versions of Austin's original "Off the Grid", Dawg stays on his lap for most of the video (on Austin's channel). The dogs (Kota & Titus) are both in the video "Sunday Best" (HFs channel) and "Real Talk" (on Austin's).

[@lisaseverance6785]

[@leslieoneal4464]

They got all of us 3 times in a row! 😳 Then came out with the full video the next day. Lol 😂 Love the 80s look with the video filter, too! They nailed the clothing, hair, and dance moves from Rick Astley's original video. Tim doing the worm was priceless! You mentioned Austin's look more than once... Did you notice the big clips holding the back of his shirt?!? LOL I'd LOVE it if they ever decide to do a full version of "Bohemian Rhapsody"!! That short sounded awesome!! 👍❤🤯

[@richb313]

They got all of us.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Obviously this is great fun. A high quality a capella form of dad joke. :) ....bur since I witnessed Rob Lundquist bel canto the shizzle out of Nessun Dorma with a gorgeous warm chiaroscuro technique, I'm aware that him singing pop songs, however accurately & impressively, is him running at 50% o_O which seems crazy, but is true. Have you seen him & Austin doing Nessun Dorma yet?

Not yet, but I have on the list!! Thanks for watching and commenting! ✌🏽

[@jherron8559]

That was the coolest! Thanks for the laughs today.

Jeremy, I think you are understanding now why we Home Fries are so dang LOYAL ! They have fun like that, yet the music doesn't suffer. A couple of days ago I bought you 3 cups of coffee as promised. Hope you can get to them in the next couple of weeks. Today (1st Monday of the month) they dropped their next "From the vault" video....#20 so far, and it looks at the making of the title track to their 2018 album, "Timeless"....check that out

[@doloresburns3301]

You're totally right... Austin was wayyy out there, but I really enjoyed it.

If I was not on a fixed income I would be donating to reaction channels like yours because it brings me so much joy! Hello and love from Texas🤠🤠🤠

[@judydavis7993]

The most fun I got from this was watching your laughter and enjoyment of our goofy guys. Yes, Austin's Canadian tuxedo was my favorite and the poofy hairdo made me laugh the most. I do believe he had help with that from his girlfriend Amberly. You also got a glimpse of Austin's cat Dawg laying on the pavement. That area he filmed in is his property. Their vocals were spot on with all the clips. These guys surely do know how to have a good time and entertain us. Loved your reaction as always. 😂❤😊

[@patriciamcl54]

A scene from Austin's transformation is on his TikTok and is hilarious. Amberly's expression says all too clearly that she is wondering how her starry-eyed romance with the man of her dreams led her to this, as she gets going with the hair spray, while Austin is doing a wonderful Karen impression. I believe the clothes were sent to them (it was during lockdown) and they were the wrong size! Redneck ingenuity (as Austin would say) meant the shirt clipped at the back and hefty pulling up of the pants.

[@wolfe6220]

You're welcome!!! The first time I saw it, I must have rewatched it 50 times...😂 And Austin's lady, Amberly, is responsible for Austin's hilarious dance moves.

[@angwatts]

If I remember correctly, this was for April Fool's Day during quarantine times. They flat out rickrolled every one of us....multiple times. They did a great job with the song and Tim had some serious 80s moves going. 😂

[@sallyintucson]

This was made for April Fool’s Day during lockdown. They kept us entertained the whole time!

[@kmwwrench]

Being probably the only person on the planet with no idea what "rickrolling " was the first time I saw these, you can imagine how confused I was. Once I caught on I laughed as hard as anyone. But, their Bohemian Rhapsody was kind of breathtaking. There is a video that uses their version as the intro to a full version by a German (?) group. It was pretty good. You might be able to find it by searching for Home Free and Bohemian Rhapsody. Great reaction.

[@musikbyjh]

Don't worry, my wife didn't either. 🤣✌🏽

[@peggymiller2475]

Did you catch the fact that at one point when Austin spins, you can see the back of his shirt has binder clips on it? Musta been too big!🤣

[@nancyholter5646]

It's so much fun to see all 3 teasers in a row like that. Their Queen was exceptional, wasn't it? What a way to start. But even when they are being silly, the vocals never take a hit. Adam's beatboxing, excellent, too. Quarantine really turned their creative minds loose. Both Valentine's Day AND April Fool's Day were targets for them. If not one else answers, Austin's girlfriend did his hair for him. (There is a TikTok on his channel)

[@JoanN63]

This was such a good joke! And even though they do this so great, which didn't surprise me at all, I was very curious how they would have done "Bohemian Rhapsody". But this is really Home Free, so hilarious. And then Austin's cat who wants to be in the picture just like his owner.😉

[@musikbyjh]

Lol!! Loved it, especial the cat named "Dawg" 🤣✌🏽

[@LynnRamsay]

Great Reaction ! They got us all really good on April Fools Day with those 3 shorts then the full one the next day😂 We’ve been trying to get them to do a full version of Bohemian Rhapsody for awhile. That cat is Austin’s his name is Dawg he likes to join in videos Did you notice the back of Austin’s shirt ? It’s tied in the back because he’s so skinny the shirt was to big. Adam actually can dance pretty good he sometimes does a Michael Jackson part in his Beatboxing solos it really good.

[@VJ_9014]

Perfect reaction!! 😉😀 - Wasn't that the absolute best?!! I'm so glad you put all the videos together this way. They reeeeally love teasing their Fries! - Tim and Austin took this way too seriously don't ya think?! 🤣 All of them did this so well with so much fun! I loved Tim's bassline throughout and his epitome of the 80s look was hilarious. His Dire Straits (Knopfler) hair made me laugh til I cried! Those moves though! 😯😀 And Austin... was the star.... 😂😂😂

[@kathysizemore9975]

They definitely got us with these 3 shorts. I was so excited for them, but then got Rick rolled...lol. They had actually released these as an April fools joke to all the home fries. Really enjoyed your reaction.

[@danivansuperstar]

Tim's bassline on this, though. Dang. He always nails everything he does. I was a kid/preteen in the '80s, so super super nostalgic song. Thanks for another fun reaction!

[@patriciamcl54]

The third and most ludicrous of the shorts was filmed by Austin's gf Amberly from a boat under the bridge, which was being handled by Chris Chatham with considerably less skill than he shows on the guitar. At one point he almost landed her in the creek together with a very expensive film camera.

[@babyfry4775]

Oh it worked out fine. Hahaha yeah Home Free got all of us. They did this during April Fools Day and rickrolled us good. I love Bohemian Rhapsody and hope they do a full video of it someday. Love the Rick Astley song. All the hair, clothes and dancing from the videos of the 80’s. Too funny. You have a great sense of humor and did it just right. Austin’s cat (named Dawg) photo bombs other videos too. Good one Jeremy!🥰🤣
