Ronald Jenkees interview on FBN

[@pnerges]

Ronald Jenkees is the best. His music had been in my playlist forever!

[@XaXtXa]

Key point: Just about everyone here is backing this dude, I just bought both cd's from the website. He is an inspiration to musicians all over, and what a wonderful message he brings. Simply do what you love and you won't need to be rich. I have a rich uncle who's been single all his life and had a few heart attacks last year. He hasn't really done anything at all with his life. I don't see why an excess of money is important to so many people. Do what you love.

[@GettingPissedMan]

they're borderline harassing him. he's as cool as they come. one of the most talented individuals i've ever heard.

[@jimmyc6686]

Ian Houldsworth well Said!

[@tiffanychurchill7117]

Ronald is one of a kind. On top of being enormously gifted, he is a genuinely nice person. This is the Star Wars equivalent of having Jar Jar Binks judge Yoda !

[@GoodguyGastly]

It's 5 years later and he is doing pretty well.

[@wildone106]

+GoodguyGastly Whats he doing?

[@estebanstrangiato]

Making saucy beats as usual!

[@h0rk3d]

Better than that obnoxious host on the left, for sure.

[@WelshWidgetMan2O1O]

Ronald has grown a lot on the inside over the past few years and he's very articulate and highly intelligent. He's a musical genius with a style all his own and we're *very* fortunate to be able to be his audience here on KZbin. Ronald is a real-deal artist :)

[@bird_E]

WelshWidgetMan2O1O lol real-deal? He's an act

[@ILiveintheZone]

😂🤡

[@jargonstarcraft9157]

These guys really disappoint me. What a horrible, unprofessional interview. So rude. I bet Jenkees will soon become a legend in his genre of music.

[@oboyy]

What are you talking about you stupid twat Except for that one idiot all they gave him were props

[@Forslimjims]

It's Fox, what did you expect.

[@YouInferiorMeatHole]

oboyy It was unprofessional though.

[@SpockAndStep]

oh trust me! im a friend of Ronald, he already has!

[@americancitizen748]

I like this guy because he is humble and sincere. Not like so many of the self-centered pop musicians who think they are the center of the universe. Thank you Ronald!

[@Ikine557]

Aw, he's so sweet. It's so nice to see a genuinly talented artest who's such a nice person.

[@Jda1101]

Jenkees slaying these clowns in 2017.

[@LFiers]

So eloquently put. I agree wholeheartedly! Jenkees is pure music at its heart and soul. He is a genius.

[@PinkyJapan]

"Quirky keyboards?" ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! How DARE you call the absolute MAGIC that RJ creates simply an act of silly piano playing. Obviously, these people have NO idea of the complexities and richness of his sound. Have they even seen Stay Crunchy or Throwing Fire all the way through for that matter? Do they think that anyone can do that? What Mr. Jenkees does is nothing short of miraculous. He is truly phenomenal.

[@ILiveintheZone]

This ladys wording about my man Ronald is like an audible form of lobotomy. How completely deft and musically uneducated, this newscaster is a joke. 😂

[@sharonhare4835]

Honey, the Jenks don’t need to spice anything up. We love him just the way he is. A fabulously nerdy musical badass personified.

[@JarrydEliasMusic]

PASSION. Thank you finally someone understands that it isn't about the money. Music is about doing what you love.

[@Gpalmer16]

Those music notes were so well drawn...wow...

[@FORWARDxUNTOxAWESOME]

Ronald's music is amazing and I haven't heard much else like it, I hope the man goes big!

[@Khrizcspell]

money comes and goes. his music will be timeless.

[@L1VE3V1L]

Ronald, the day you spice up your videos more akin to a traditional music video is the day I'll stop listening. What we see in your videos is a man with complete and utter passion for what he does and delivering music most of us couldn't even dream of writing. You feel it hard dude, we can see that and we love it. Carry on good sir!

[@gregorymccoy6797]

I love this guy.

[@jimw2542]

imo this was an interview via a trio of robots. when I first heard Jenkees it was like hearing jimi hendrix, so much soul and passion.

[@Pablo513358]

Hahahaha! 5 years later and Ronald Jenkees is a legend!! My personal favorite #GuitarSound Keep it Ronald love your work!

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Crazy to think that people would question whether you can make it big on KZbin back then. How times have changed. Ronald was ahead of the curve, and is one of the few originals who are still going.

[@jaydstein]

Oh good! The nobody reporters have 'passed' the legendary Ronald Jenkees. What a joke.

[@theQiwiMan]

Justin Stein HAHA right? Was thinking the same thing. Soulless, vapid idiots, giving their approval to a frikkin demigod! What a joke! :-D

[@djryguy20]

Ronald Jenkees has more soul than the three of those douchebags combined. Keep doing what you're doing, dude. I learned about your music through Bill Simmons podcast, and now I can't get enough. You're doing what everyone else wishes they had the BALLS to do- living their own dream on THEIR terms. God bless ya.

[@mrniceguy1270]

"can you really make a career out of silly videos on youtube" Me in 2023 😂

[@ACsPianoCorner]

Glad I wasn’t the only one thing the exact same thing. That fail didn’t age well at all. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ewin22]

I don't know whether to give this a "thumbs down" for the vapid Fox interviewers or a "thumbs up" for Ronald F'n Jenkees, The Great.

[@ClayWar237]

E Win it's a dilemma.

[@Datron101]

Found out he's from Kentucky. My life suddenly means something. Keep up the good work bro. I love your tunes.

[@philliple123]

"Gah-ha, that's funny." The part where my face instantly frowns.

[@pon4ick27]

What a sencere, talented, passionate dude. Has been a fan for years.

[@MyNameIsJeff-W]

bro is still banging out cds and getting millions of views. Got a new crib all new equipment. Been a fan for over a decade.

[@reidjohnson4648]

ronald is beautiful. reread that sentence with the period. He is so amazing.

[@blah152]

I think that the fact that he is having fun making music is the best part. You can really hear it in the music itself.

[@CodeCasanova]

I found Ronald Jenkees on Pandora! Keep rocking buddy!

[@wildscotsman6]

Man of talent and respect! Keep rockin RJ!! Found you on Pandora and love it all!!

[@Strangetouch]

Such a humble, awesome, talented human being.

[@makkhan1383]

Dumbest interview I have seen ever, RJ is a legend.....

[@arcadebench]

Jenkees is a much nicer guy than he should've been to them. God bless him for succeeding at his own thing despite people giving him the thumbs-down.

[@LynXHimself]

Quirky keyboards? Bitch please!! RJ is, a LEGEND

[@desertgreenery]

"I'm not trying to get rich." Just that phrase, and all its depth, probably went wayyy over these talking heads' heads.

[@Etigress]

Love this guy...super talented and seems pretty genuine and goofy lol

[@hackisack]

Not many TV channels have the honor to get the legend on show!

[@brianmi40]

Right on Ronald. People CAN see when you are fake about your music. And nothing about RJ is fake.

[@ZachariahCz]

it's only a matter of time before we see this guy wherever he wants to be.

[@Schmorgasblab]

Yeah that fail at the end was pretty disrespectful. Lets just say that Ronald has more than enough talent and brains to CONTINUE being successful.

[@Jonb72]

Omg from MY town! I had no clue, been listening to him for awhile! Rockin!

[@TMurf92]

like he said, he doesnt plan on getting rich he just wants to get by doing what hes doing and have fun. if he wanted to make a lot of money, he definately could. jenkees has produced one of my favourite songs of all time!!

[@xjuanp]

Today's show is 'the media', not 'the music'. But Jenkees is doing both with his music and his YoutTube persona. He'll succeed, because what he does is good and people like it. Keep up the volume, Ronald!

[@sillentskills]

Pretty cool to see this video floating about.

[@gavin2870]

I dont need to say anything about the reporters. Everyone else did that for me. I just hope that they see the comments.

[@Daren_PNW]

You can't fake raw, genuine and honest-to-goodness people like Ronald Jenkees. He does what he does because enjoys it. Not because of blah blah or yada yada.

[@brainbomb.]

RingoTV Reactions introduced me to Ronald Jenkees.

[@brainbomb.]

0:15 How disgustingly vile and pathetic can they be?

[@andysim232]

i got Ronalds 3rd album the other day. Love it. That says it all =)

[@MSouthworth85]

These news people are why products that come out today are crap and don't last as long as things from the past. Ronald is keeping old school and cares more about his passion then the all mighty dollar.

[@billaslinger]

what has happened to Ronald Jenkees? He's the best I've ever seen, writing, producing & playing. Some say he's passed away, but I can't find any reference to that. All I can find is over a year old.

[@thatguyyoudontknow]

The man is a musical genius.....to have him on a show like this is just sickening. Ronald is one of, if not the, best musicians I've ever seen. It's raw passion and talent. It's not a fucking business.

[@blamethedogs]

I wish he made more videos...

[@trill1987]

The guy is a musical genius, why he would even need anyone's approval of this "simply because it is not a typical source of revenue" is beyond me.

[@Kioko123]

Keep up the happy soul!! we love it.

[@richardruth9048]

I love how he made it.

[@joshdoldersum9132]

These reporters sound like the very first reporters trying to explain the internet to the home audience.

[@orcaluv]

Guys, they aren't judging him. It's Fox "Business". these are analysts by trade. They are assessing his business model and viability. It's just a matter of opinion based on a 2 min conversation. It's not pretentious. You people need to loosen up. We all know Ronald will do and be just fine.

[@crazykkid2000]

YOU ROCK BRO KEEP IT UP!!!!! DO WHAT U LOVE

[@DanaDoesStuff]

She wasn't making fun of him. The segment was titled "So you think you're an entrepreneur." The entire point of the interview was to highlight his talent and his entrepreneurial spirit.

[@HumanoidMachine]

I don't think he knows how condescending they were. This show doesn't deserve an audience.

[@TerryWindell]

Whale Fail??? Really??? It's been 14 years now and Ronald is still here and still slingin' some of the most fire music around. Anybody know where these other 3 wannbes are? I didn't think so. Karma baby. Keep jammin' and having fun Ronald!

[@ProdByClockwerk]

Anyone who thinks Ronald doesn’t have money should listen to It’s Gettin Rowdy. Dude is fucking ballin’!

[@Ian_moone_]

😂 they ate those words. You were the first to break KZbin 🔥

[@barthagaby1]

Ronald should make music for movie sound tracks, hes so good

[@Zavakar]

what was that song in the beggining

[@Iyotomachida]

throwing fire

[@barelydeath]

judging a music genius omg i literally rofled

[@osolokoloko5404]

I love your music

[@3zObafouzr]

That guy doesn't get Jenkees, I mean, ffs, Ronald is all about the MUSIC. He's not some ego-centric celebrity who divides his priorities into whether they make lots of money - or not and that's why he's my favourite artist. I mean, he'd rather you pirated his album, then not be able to listen to it ! Best Music Producer I've ever had the joy of listening to.

[@colin8696908]

hes so modest about his work.

[@ChipMonkeys]

How do you tell someone "They are failing", when they are not failing? Is this show canceled? I bet it is. If it's not, it should be. Only on Fox.

[@speshloopster]

Ronald Jenkees is talented and super awesome chap

[@noname2031-w5r]

That guy on the left is a fail in life - Ronald is living his dreams and not allow some lack of talent telling him what to do.

[@Bristecom]

These people only care about making extravagant amounts of money. But Ronald just wants to pay the bills and enjoy what he does. I bet he's much happier and more satisfied with his job/life than most people making more money with a bigger business.

[@drumemo]

They're just the sheep that follow the popular vote. Geez, the people made Drake a superstar. What a joke. This, is music. Pure, EARNED talent and enthusiasm. I'm a very long time fan of the Jenks, and I always will be. Keep ticklin' those ivories!

[@Graiskye]

Ron could probably retire today, and live comfortably without ever releasing another song. Dude is smart, independent production, and release, is the key. Now for the rest of his life, people will buy his music, because it is genuine, and good, it makes me smile, simple as that, and for that reason he is successful. Royalties may not be huge but they add up,and there is no record company skimming 90% of the top. Go Ron.

[@JaysMacro]

You saying that just proved how right he was in posting that comment.

[@admengz]

Jenkees probably makes more than mr.fail dude over there, which in my opinion is hilarious

[@ferez1985]

This interview just showed me he is a better guy that what i thought, and i thought he was awesome

[@black487]

The two right ones were nice... and the left one was just being honest from his POV. Lefty didn't say he disliked Jenkees character or music, he simply wasn't persuaded by the business model (he's wrong btw, but that's his POV). I'm as ready to hate on Fox News as the next guy but this interview was actually pretty innocuous and easy-going.

[@MrWhiteBlur]

The funny part is that he probably now earns more than all 3 of them together.

[@The0IdMan]

Classy guy, as always. You don't have to be a millionaire to be rich.

[@TheJLPproductions]

this guy ain't a fail. he's making money by doing what he likes. not many people can make money by being theirselves.

[@Musicdudeyoutub]

This guy is amazing

[@jwells698]

Silly with the "pass" and "fail" cards or judgement. It would be a great interview without the judgement. The fail guy is talking all about money and making money but Ronald is doing it mostly for fun...I think Ronald enjoys making the music more than making money off his music. Why is it always about the "money"...what happen to doing things out of passion and a hobby or doing it for the fun?

[@eleasias]

why is the sound screwed up??

[@supermariofan546]

that's probably what he would say if it wasn't on national TV lol

[@RADRaze2KX]

WHATUP FROM 2023!!!! RJ JUST DROPPED A NEW JAM ON HIS OFFICIAL KZbin!! PREPARE FOR RJCD6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Bobstew68]

Thumbing this up because there's so little Jenkees interview material, and I loved hearing from him about which avenues he went through to live off his music. The pretentious, boring people in suits I could care less about. (Notice their personalities coming through.. eugh.)

[@ronaldsneek]

Fail? What a joke.. Doin' what he likes, makin' people happy, gettin' some money out of it, that sounds like livin' the life to me! Ask him again now, bet he's filled with real. Love his sounds and enthusiasm.

[@kungkuno]

why do a news station have a bar in backround? lol

[@gkarber]

The show is called "So You Think You're an Entrepreneur"

[@bdoakes]

Boomers just don't understand.

[@jordanlarson6488]

They way they introduce him as "quirky keyboards and funny internet videos" is honestly insulting. They make no mention of his insane musical talent and feel. People love his personality, but nobody would watch his videos and they wouldn't have millions of views if the the songs weren't actually incredible. His talent and feel as a musician is more than enough for all the credit and attention he's gathered on this platform.

[@hebince44]

This is like those lost names in the greek ministry overseeing Plato or like the Catholic Church judging Copernicus' actions.

[@vtec230]

10 years later "whale fail" is worth 3 million 😂👌👌👌

[@holycrapjesusman]

What the hell? "We're going to judge you in a sec"? Who gives them the right? That's just absurd. Why would they make an interview based on that? So arrogant and egotistical.

[@YouInferiorMeatHole]

He asked to be on the show, I believe. :)

[@palniok]

holycrapjesusman I guess that's the show formula to judge others. ;)
