When you watch Ren | "The Tale of Jenny & Screech" for the first time...Hawaii Braddah Edition

[@reikibomb8036]

you can always tell which reactors are empaths 😁👍

[@sejbomb]

As one myself I can feel them from a mile off too 😅😊 it’s a real hard one because you know similar things happen every day.

[@Codex7777]

Sorry guys, I know you like to feel that you're part of some special group but all humans experience empathy. If you're a psychopath or extreme sociopath you'll have less empathy but that's a pretty small group of people, compared to everyone else. Most of us have a very highly developed sense of empathy, The degree to which it's expressed or acted upon is the major difference. You'll find that most people rate themselves highly in such personal qualities. :)

[@reikibomb8036]

@@Codex7777 sorry guy, I know it's hard to believe something you may not have direct experience with, especially without physical proof, but nobody who talks about being an empath is denying that most people feel empathy. "Empath" denotes someone who experiences empathy more strongly than non-empaths, not someone who simply experiences empathy. what you're saying is equivalent to saying "sorry guys, I know you want to feel special but you're not a chef because most humans cook food". you're welcome to your opinion, but you shouldn't present it as fact because it makes you look stupid

[@CyndeLooWho]

@@Codex7777Sorry guy. You’re being rude for no reason.

[@KathleenMcVarish]

​@Codex7777 You obviously need to go study what a true "empath" is! I can tell you it is NO fun to be one most of the time! Yes, most people, besides people with antisocial personality disorders, can feel empathy... BUT to be a true empath can feel like a curse! Those with ASPD can pick you out of a crowd, and by the time you figure out that you've been used, abused, and thrown away, you feel like a total idiot... AGAIN AND AGAIN! PS: You also need to check out what Dr. Hare discovered in his lifelong research to pinpoint a physcopath. They do NOT have any capacity or understanding of what empathy is, and there is NO degree whatsoever of it in them!!!

Watching you hurt after Jenny's Tale and knowing what's to come 😬. You weren't ready for this one!!!! Go watch some fun Ren next, Losing It or Back on 74 Retake always make me smile.

[@BraddahWatSon]

Haha, I wasn't ready. My problem was trying to anticipate what was to come LOL. Lesson learned!

[@shelleynull6532]

I often suggest something similar. Often the big push and I always say you need a pallet cleanser

[@rachelmanley517]

to watch a reactor feel the tales is like experiencing it all over again as we wont ever get that chance. this song should go down in history as one of the greatest. the twists and emotions conveyed throughout along with the imagery our mind makes are outstanding. its one man with a guitar all the way through yet we can see each character and scene play out as if its a movie. great reaction and thank you 🇬🇧

[@BraddahWatSon]

Its truly a masterpiece. I cant tell you how many times I've watched this song since then! Its so good! Im so glad to be a person that gives you the thrill to reimmerse yourself into this. I'm actually so curious on how other reactors reacted haha

[@celinel9750]

@@BraddahWatSon Pick and choose, we are doing it so many time. Some don't deeply feel it, some are cruching and some are deeply touch. Great reaction from you, thank you for sharing 🙂

[@mstmy7082]

​@PoppaWatSonYTTV Lol, that's how it starts! The awe is so jaw dropping we just ache to know how other took it, and if they felt the same things. Then you hear considerations from others that give us an even deeper or just different prospective. 💞🐷

[@mattjones2726]

In a knot by the end of Jenny? You're going to be in a ball on the floor by the end of Violet! I love it when a reactor gets this animated and emersed!

[@BraddahWatSon]

You....werent wrong LOL. I definitely folded over, and perhaps my headphones prevented my rolling on the floor hahah. I don't know how anyone can watch it for the first time and not be immersed, it was so engaging.

[@kevinmclaughlin8975]

⁠@@BraddahWatSonit’s when you watch the second and third times and catch what you missed that you get gutted.

[@AnitaTsenova]

Now it will be great if you watch Rens ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS - Defining success video just to get to know Ren and his message to the world better!🙃

[@sejbomb]

Probably a little more uplifting in a way than this 😅

[@pamquick600]

This is a super suggestion!

[@cherylrobbins715]

DEFINITELY watch THAT!!!

[@rockyroad64]

You made it to the other side! I've seen a couple of reactors throw their headset and turn the camera off or jump up and shut it down. Some cry their eyes out. I still cry especially with an emotional reactor. Like really, boohoo cry.😭 Thank you for hanging in there even though it was hard.❤

[@shaneboucher4430]

" I gotta see it...I gotta give her the misery I just had" Says every Renegade as they hunt for Jenny and Screech reactions and can't click on the new ones fast enough when a new victim reactor shows up in their feed! LOL We are all emotional vampires!

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Oh, not just me then

[@SaraShadowSpirit]

NGL I definitely do this. It’s like watching a wreck happen, you don’t want to see them hurt but you just can’t help but watch.

[@dc4222180]

Quickly becoming my favourite reactor for Ren. So genuine and heartfelt. Also recognising the guitar genuis.

[@BraddahWatSon]

Wow! Im honored! Mahalo for your kind words!

[@KKDZ-sn3gi]

I could feel that gut punch at the end a thousand miles away. 😢

[@BraddahWatSon]

I still feel it when I re-listen to the song 😂but its too good, so I don't care lol

[@nickibridges2898]

You said you wouldn't put it past Ren to do a Shakespearean thing... He did, but he went full tragedy. 🫶

[@BraddahWatSon]

No kidding!

[@SaraShadowSpirit]

If you haven’t seen his Jenny and Screech concert type show you should because it’s a very modern day Shakespeare show.

[@Yipples-BookClubofOne]

Amazing reaction. We do do it on purpose, it's important to us to understand the human that you are. For what it's worth, nothing else we ask to share with you will be as traumatic as this, but plenty of it will punch your soul in different ways. Welcome to the world after Ren. It's a glorious place to be in.

[@jessicalingo4346]

I agree this is definitely up there in his trauma genre. Some may hit as much like suicide, dominos freckled angel. It would depend on the history the person has.

[@darkmatter6714]

Truly Shakespearean levels of storytelling: Jenny and Screech are born side by side on the same day and die side by side on the same day. Both Jenny’s and Violet’s response to trauma is to freeze and stay quiet. Fight, flight or fawn are the options but they are both too mentally weak for fight or flight, due to years of psychological trauma, so fawn it is - a response which gets them both killed. Like mother, like daughter. Screech, being a victim of a broken upbringing ends up killing his sister, just like his father ends up killing his mother. Like father, like son. All of them - father, mother, son, daughter - victims of trauma. The cycle of inter generational trauma and violence continues.

[@GhostWatcher2024]

One thing not mentioned by most reactors: - Violet was a silent girl, grew up with violent starts. - Violet was a silent girl, and Violet she fell fast. - Violet, why're you always so silent? - Say something Violet! - In CHARACTER, she stayed silent Then finally, and ONLY for the sake of her unborn children... - Violet broke her silence and she cried, "If I'm to die right here tonight, please let my baby(ies) stay alive!"

[@Gamerone64]

The father was not actually mentioned. The timeline seems more to suggest it could have been Violet's OWN father who got her pregnant and Stevie was just a violent, short term thing. That could also help explain Screeches short temper, anger management, and other emotional issues just thru genetics.

[@Slymanno]

It was like watching myself the first time I heard this Trilogy. Engrossed, captivated, intrigued, disgusted and then mind-fucked in an instant! Great reaction my friend.

[@kathleenwincott5581]

Great reaction. your upbringing has made you an empathetic human being. ❤

[@BraddahWatSon]

It definitely has, and despite things I wish didn't happen, my life trajectory blessed me in so many ways!

[@rachelmanley517]

go onto something more fun now: back on 74/message in a bottle retake, nas- halftime retake, love music series, losing it, the hunger, uninvited and then there's the big push (his band)

[@sejbomb]

Back on 74 would be great for him. 😊

[@yarroworray]

This was a beautiful reaction. I came across this video because I’m on a Ren bender (can you blame me?) But this reaction was absolutely so beautiful open and honest. Thank you.

[@brockjansen1617]

Fun fact - when this was released in 2019, Big Ben the clock was down for repairs. "Clocked Out" so to speak.

[@Heyboo66]

For generations people will look up the word Realisation and your face will be right there, that was such a good reaction, you're becoming one of my favourites 💙🇬🇧

[@garysherwin3316]

I agree 😊

[@BraddahWatSon]

Hahahahah, that gave me a good laugh. Mahalo for you kind words! I hope to keep up the reputation!

[@rudyb.]

Ren’s performance is Epic here! When I first heard this I was completely shocked & mesmerized. It’s a masterpiece. Ren is one of the most important music artists of our time. Thank you for a fantastic reaction.

[@petersilie8549]

Great reaction! Some insights: The inspiration for the tales was a newspaper article about a teenager stabbing an underaged hooker (High heels, rosies on her cheecks, walking the streets a thousand times before) during a robbery. "It's such a shame" is a quote of the officer who shot Screech... Everythin else is out of Ren's imagination. Patrick and his girlfriend were not available because they've been "busy" together. James (Screech) & Jennifer are names the UK government give to unknown kids like Jane Doe in the US.

[@BraddahWatSon]

Wow, those are really interesting facts to know about this! Mahalo for sharing!

[@payntpot7623]

This trilogy is one of the first songs suggested to all reactors by Renegades as it gives an idea of so many of Ren's unique talents. You were not singled out, don't worry. Ren did warn of dark things to come in the stairwell, when he said, "...the devil came to dance...", directly referencing Dance with the devil by Immortal Technique. "It's a Shame" were the words used by a policeman who had attended the stabbing of a woman by a young boy. The newspaper article Ren read quoted him. Ren made an instagram clip about Screech's evening prior to he and Jenny coming face to face in the ally that night. It is worth watching. In the song, it gives James' age as 14. Jenny is in high heels, with makeup on (Rosy on cheeks), walked the streets 1000 times, she wanted to escape....pretty suggestive. Violet's babies may have been sired by her dad. It is hard to know, but why was Stevie calling her a liar? Was it because he thought the kids were not his, or was it because she was pretending to be asleep? So many reactors, (like you), think for a moment that Stevie has killed Violet, without remembering she was alive in hospital at the start of the story before he rewound time. Money Games Trilogy is normally next, but you might want to visit the song he dropped a couple of days ago, Money Ties.

[@ella4peacelove356]

This was a great reaction. I really feel like we need to request a reaction to the tales with a trigger warning. All of Rens stuff is raw emotion, and when it goes dark it can cut deep. Much love!

[@badwolf1587]

After the recent opera singer,,,Lisa Marie,??? Idk her name off hand...i felt so bad for her.. she was crushed 😢

[@albamartinez4987]

I always give a trigger warning when I recommend actually bc I've seen some really feel it. Especially Violet's tale. You don't know what people have gone through irl so always a heads up

[@fredwds5178]

You’re my kind of human! Nice reaction! Go Hawaii from your brother in Vermont.

[@annejones6249]

I always imagine screech’s heart racing through the guitar at the start when ren is walking down the stairs, very clever sound to set up his tale of screech

[@francesdoll4039]

Ren says at the begining, Screech is 14

[@Daffodil-Grace]

These tales were based on a period of street violence in London. A young kid killed a prostitute with a knife and a police officer was quoted in the paper saying, “it’s such a shame.” Ren embellished on the story.

[@jfish67]

Warren G Regulate... definitely an inspiration, Ren knows hip hop. Amazing reaction, new sub.

[@GB_slacker]

If I’m not mistaken, Jenny’s Tale was inspired by a newspaper story of a woman killed in the street by a 14 year old boy. The story concluded with the words “It’s such a shame.” The rest came from the mind of Ren. Also, the 3 parts were written and recorded over the course of 2 or 3 years.

[@jessicalingo4346]

That knot youve been holding since jennys tale will burst open as you watch violets tale and the twist at the end will leave you filled with a brand new awe and wonder.

[@bkkidd2112]

This, in my opinion, is his most tragic song. It is sad, violent, painful, brilliant, beautiful, engaging, and thought provoking all at once. Not all of Ren's music is so heavy 😅 Wonderful reaction and commentary. Subbed ❤

[@ezrasace]

Thank you for your thoughtful reaction. From the beginning, I could tell this was not going to be easy for you to get through to the end. I applaud you for doing so. It was not a prank, the Tales is a hallmark of Ren's bardcore work. One on the must see list of work Renegades present to reactors to show the breadth of Ren's musicianship. I believe it is fight, flight, freeze and fawn (telling the person how great they are, etc. to appease the assailant) and maybe a fifth one. To freeze is to remain still and in place, as a statue. This is such a tragedy and none of them ever really had a chance. 'Such a shame', is a throwaway term to make us feel better so we can instantly turn away and go on about our business without a second thought about what had happened and why it happened.

[@Minorbird1972]

I am loving your reaction. You have definitely found a gem here. Rens talent is unmatched, I can’t wait to see more….. Hunger Chalk outlines Genesis 😁 Much love

[@Heyboo66]

Lots of people have mentioned dance with the devil, even ren says The devil comes to dance, i wonder if it was intentional

[@katjakekkonen]

6:09 Ou no! 😬 my thoughts: can he make it till the end?!? 💔💕 Thanks for sharing Your history and thoughts about everything. Maybe next something less heavy from Ren like: Back to 74/Message in the bottle

[@darkmatter6714]

BTW, Ren is part of a band called The Big Push - you’ll come to see many of their great performances. He said his favorite piece with them is “Swan Song”. If you thought this was clever, you should see the lyrics in that video - it is the most hauntingly beautiful and jarring story of introspection ever put to song. WARNING - it is not easy to follow but if you take care to break it down, it’s mind-blowing stuff. If you need help with it, I’m here!

[@daphneparkin6869]

Love that song, a warning to mankind. Gorran wrote that one.

[@francesdoll4039]

Swan song was written by Gorran Kendall in 2016 before the band formed. It was their first video, I believe.

[@iamlpinthe312]

Take all the time you need. Ren uses all the tools he has to create his art. Here it’s not just his guitar- which is also a percussive instrument, a door, a gun, fists meeting flesh…. It’s literary tools of simile , metaphor, alliteration, the rhythm schemes , cadences and tones that change depending on which character he is playing or narrating . It’s the instrumental overture at the beginning of the Tale, setting the tone for what is to come. AND IT IS REN’S ACTING, HIS PERFORMANCE: the way he becomes Screech in Jenny’s Tale , he’s a menace, aggressive and creating fear. BUT, in Screech’s Tale we see Ren as Screech, spinning and spiraling. His face expresses panic, and fear , and we see Screech as the scared , petrified 14 year old kid that he is. But when confronted he reverts back to being all bravado. And again, when Ren is sitting in the hospital bed, he is Violet. Looking around, scared, completely alone, not knowing what to do. When REN is in the stairwell, looking up and sings “ She ne-e-ever had a chance “ , you can visualize that chance, floating up and out into the black sky. Breaking the fourth wall Ren makes us a part of Violet’s world; we see things from HER perspective. A MASTERPIECE OF STORYTELLING. * I have seen/ heard the Immortal Technique track BUT I have been trying to find the full 9 minute version of Dance With The Devil but can’t seem to find the whole thing. * You can watch it with your wife and record it AS IF it’s going to be a reaction video and then you both can decide on whether or not to post it. ❤

After I watched this story for the first time I felt physically sick and thought "I am never going to listen to this again" and then went on to watch about a dozen reaction videos to it. Thank you for your reaction. I hope your past has found a place in your life where it doesn't hinder you from shining as your beautiful self. Maybe you would enjoy a more upbeat song from Ren next. He was in the busking band "The big push" and their mashup of "I shot the Sheriff/road to zion/hiphop" is amazing.

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!! I was crying (I've watched the tales countless times), and I just wanted to reach out and hug and comfort you! Ren's genius in this trilogy gets everyone who watches. He's the characters, narrator, writer, editor, director and artist! He's talented beyond any other! This reaction was long but worth watching, for sure. Thank you!❤

[@BraddahWatSon]

I honestly had no clue it was going on that long until I looked at the time after, lol! It pulled me in from the start and I had a great time listening despite the emotion it evoked. It's one of those that will be etched in your memory forever. Ren truly is a genius!

[@GB_slacker]

For future reference, if Ren is singing a story about someone and gives them a name (other than himself) the results are very likely to be tragic. True of Jenny, Screech, Violet and Jimmy (IYKYK). Even Ariah didn’t turn out so well.

Thank you for a very heartfelt reaction, this is such a great trilogy - the story of generational trauma. And you're right to feel empathy for Screech, he was just as much a victim as the others. I'll echo other recommendations for something fun from Ren, a sort of "palate cleanser." Back on 74 or Power would be my suggestions 🙂

And I really hope you can get your wife to watch and let us see her reaction!!! I loved seeing how much the stories touched you. I have watched the tale of Jenny and Screech so many times and I still cry, every single time! I could see how much this touched you. I think we all get that ache deep down inside us when we watch Ren's videos. He should have hundreds of millions likes for all of his music. There's something about Ren that draws you in and changes you. There aren't many artists that can do that. He is truly unique. You have to watch "Chalk Outlines" with Ren and Chinchilla!! There voices blend together so perfectly, it will give you chills! Also "How to be" . It will blow your mind! I can't wait to see more of your reactions!

[@Ph4n_t0m]

Fantastic reaction. Sorry you hurt so much my brother... some of my favorite and least-mentioned elements of this genius: - The slowed rhythmic choice of "she tried to find strength to move" to denote the stuck-in-molasses moment of her freezing-up in Jenny's Tale - The elements of oooold style theatre with Ren's twangs of the strings at the end of the guitar intro of Screech's Tale and again the overly-dramatic narrator's "Where did he go?" and from Violet's tale: - "Stacking jars like pickled bricks" ... what imagery! _pickled bricks_ ?!? So bizarre yet so perfectly descriptive! - his change of accent "Steevie was a wrong'un but ee sure knew 'ow to charm'er". - The way he comes back into the guitar playing exactly on the word "pilot" and last but not least : The genius of concealing the twins, even in Violet's exclamation "Please let my babies stay alive" - which _everyone_ hears initially as "please let my baby stay alive" ...

[@BraddahWatSon]

I've watched many, many, many reactions to this song and I absolutely LOVED yours!! Watching you clutch your chest at the end of both Jenny and Screech's tales I felt so sorry for you, anticipating you having to go through even worse for Violet's Tale, and I knew you were in trouble. A brilliant reaction, from an emotionally intelligent young man. I'm so glad you came up on my feed for the first time tonight, even though it's been a long reaction and it's 2am so I really should be sleeping ..... I've subscribed in the hope that you DO come back with your wife to do her reaction, although I feel it's quite cruel to put her through the same pain that you've gone through!!! Even if your wife doesn't want to react in front of a camera I'll stick around to watch more of your future Ren reactions anyway. Now you need some light relief from Ren, so watch Uninvited, Murderer, and What You Want. But another emotional one, from years back, is Ren's song Crutch, which I know you'll appreciate, and unfortunately is not on most reactors' radar for some reason. BTW, another reaction channel mentioned the Immortal Technique song Dance With The Devil so I did check it out, and yes, I agree with the comparison as far as shock value is concerned.

[@Dr.Brummel]

Great reaction man 👍❤ Here are some hugs for you 🫂🫂🫂🫂 I have just two words: Transgenerational Violence. Check out this great reaction 'Youth Justice Psychotherapist REACTS to first listen of Ren Tale of Jenny, Screech and Violet Full' which sheds a light on that issue. Text in the videos thumbnail: 'Why does this keep happening'. Really worth watching. Two genius details that are easily overseen/overheard: - At the beginning of Screech's Tale, when Ren sings "He melted into the black night just like snow" Ren almost disappears in the darkness for a moment in the video as well. - When you look up the original lyrics for Violets Tale you'll find that it's not "Grew up with violet stars", it's actually "Grew up with violeNt starTs". So crazy. Ohh damn 'Dance with the devil' by 'Immortal Technique' was so hard. I really had problems to watch it to the end. Do you know 'King Park' by 'La Dispute'? Another topic in detail, but ultimately also about violence. Hit me like a wall of bricks.

❤❤❤ thanks for your honest reaction. I watched this song and reactions to it far more than i can count, and it still gets me to tears every single time. Ren is a genius. And i love the Renegades. So many kind, compassionate and loving humans❤️ it made(and makes) me feel far less alone in this sadly often evil world. ❤ to all of you❤️

Awww you will be such a wonderful father, a true empath 💛

[@LotiPupa]

That was intense! The first time I heard "The tales" and Hi Ren, my thoughts were like ping pong. I couldn't settle the mind for quite a while 🤐 Ren is a lyrical genious and he always gives you something to think about. ❤

[@GeriStorm]

Best reaction to this one 👏👏👏👏👏🔥I’m sure you liked how he turned back time and then forward with the guitar! To tell Violets tale

[@Irmelinis]

Many hugs to you ❤ great stuff! “In wanna give her the misery I was just in” 😂😂

[@BraddahWatSon]

Im still tryna convince her hahah! Im thinking I'll have to do one of those "Listen to this" and secretly record her reaction videos.

So, many, many years ago I played World of Warcraft when Burning Crusade was coming out. They released this awesome trailer narrated by Illidan that ended with the words "You are not prepared" and that was basically the voiceover in my head when you were doing the intro and going into Violet's Tale I'm sorry, man. Sending you hugs from California, it hits us all kinda like this. It's incredibly healing for those of us with trauma like this, though. I was abused as a child and fell into abuse as an adult and this story has helped me find my way out of it. And it's an amazing story and an amazing piece of art. It's what he's good at. Money Game 1, 2, and 3 is... a different kind of intense than this, can't recommend that one more either Boi can play guitar though, right? You should see him play bass, it's absolute MADNESS, I have never seen anyone play bass like that! He is on it in Johnny B. Goode with The Big Push, the busking band he was in (they stopped playing together because they scattered to the globe, they're all still good friends). You could use something way happier after this! I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop is also excellent and he's on rhythm guitar for that. Romain is on lead and braddah, you wanna see a man play guitar... What did your wife think? Now I'm curious 👀

[@Gabionfineline]

I like your sensitivity and deep understanding, great reaction 💚

[@moonyep5075]

I thought you couldn't get to the end...i was thinking...poor you...great reaction...go on a light Ren for your next reaction...🙈🥰

[@martinaloeffelmann9093]

everyone lives two lives - the one before ren, and the one after ren. once you cross over you can never go back. not that you would ever want to. ♥️

[@DeadlyVvenom]

🔥🔥🔥fire reaction and you have to show her you can’t keep ren to yourself he is a gift that has to be shared

[@BraddahWatSon]

Im still trying to convince her haha!

[@troynorton7627]

The best reaction I’ve seen. Period. I had a similar one by myself. Wrecked.

[@brianarsuaga5008]

It took me five or six days, for real, to recover from this when I first watched it. Not that I was broken up, but the lingering ache, and the slightly spinny feeling that I'd just witnessed something I'd never witness again. Sorry we did this to you. Welcome to the club. It was a little validating hearing you immediately start strategizing who you could inflict this on, in turn.

[@jenniferwilliams8903]

Haha. That’s some M. Night Shamalan shit right there. Your reaction to the end has been my favorite so far…lol

[@BryanRobinson-z5m]

Ren IS a modern-day Shakespeare; he is so poetic with All of his music.

[@sistermoon1970]

This is why I love watching reactions…… that moment we see the realisation. I did laugh at how much you wanted to see your wife go through this. Not a true story, but easily could be. I believe it was inspired by a news report of a teen stabbing and the reporters comment at the end was “What a shame”. Really enjoying your Ren reactions, commentary and insights 🫶🫶 You are absolutely good enough ❤️

[@Bodgeitbob]

He's just to good isn't he. Witnessing the biggest star on the planet by the end of 2025 guaranteed 😂

[@SquarePeg773]
