One of my favourite parts of this is the play on seashells and oil, which is a direct reference to the Shell oil company. It was originally founded as a shop/trading company in London in the early 19th century, and in the 1830s began importing and selling seashells - quickly becoming a monopoly. They later started trading in paraffin. In 1897 the actual "shell" company was founded from this humble beginnings and voila, sea shells leading to trading in oil.
@@jolandafrijlink6103 From 2005 when it unified to 2022, perhaps. It's actually just "Shell PLC" now and is HQ'd in London since 2022. But it first was formed in 1907 through the merger of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and the "Shell" Transport and Trading Company. The SHELL part is the London one.
It's a tricky game trying to play the algorithm. I like the longer videos when it's Ren, but I'm a sucker for Ren reactions (he really puts humanity on display, & reactions to him feel really human-to-human). I wish you well with your other channel. Thanks for being human in this algorithm-run world (sometimes it's good, as it brought me to Ren, & his reactors, but with algorithms everywhere, it's exhausting trying to be a creator).
I'm somewhat ashamed to say I do tend to click off videos from time to time when the song ends or maybe skip past commentary (not always but it happens) but with you I watch every single second of the video. I love your insight and greatly appreciate your commentary and view on what you believe the message, to the many songs I've watched you react to, may happen to be. I just hit play and wanted to post this comment, looking forward to the reaction and eager for Money Game part 3! Also, I do hope you heed some of the suggestions on the "Lace It" reaction cause I bet you'll enjoy some of the Eminem suggestions I saw on there!
I love long, insightful reactions, especially when it comes to ren, so much to digest when it comes to his stuff :) going to check out the other channel as well! Hope money game part 3 is next! Excited to hear your take on it ❤
Thank you for another insightful breakdown of Ren! I found your channel because of Ren and now I'm following both of your channels - I very much enjoy your take on things and the compassion you show towards your fellow humans, as well as your honesty! Keep up the great work as we need more people like you! As someone who has been through the therapy system for decades, I've experienced the worst of the worst and also seen some good ones too - any patient who has the privilege of being your patient is in good hands!
So glad I saw this bc you haven’t been on my feed lately and I love your analyses of songs. We need a push to have Ren on your channel. I think you two would really vibe. Mental health, social commentary…I’m all in for that!
Thanks Stu - I love the thought, humanity, emotion and realism you put into all your reactions. Given the work you do with youth, I think you’ll have a LOT to say about Part 3 (besides really enjoying it for the masterpiece it is)… it’s possibly even more relevant than Hi Ren and the Tale of Jenny and Screech. I’m clearing my schedule when you release that one!!!
Top reaction 👍👍 looking forward to part 3 ✌️ sometimes it's really hard to talk about the struggles we are facing when it seems the powers that be are pulling all the strings...Ren said himself he gives a voice to the voiceless
I enjoy the long format, personally. I'll still watch the short ones too. Great reaction to this amazing song. I love the whole money game series (and pretty much anything Ren related). Great reaction!
Your breakdowns and articulate thoughts are CRIMINALLY underrated. You should have millions of subscribers. Thank you for always sharing your story, opinions, and encourage your own audience to continue to question further.
Your reactions to things, especially Ren's songs are some of, if not the best reactions I've seen. You really do think things through and analyse almost all of the lines to the songs and I'm all here for it. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you for this. "It's" happening to me! I can't afford ANYTHING anymore. It's insane. I feel for you because you KNOW that the rates of depression are rising and you can SEE why. You must feel so helpless so thank you for just being the someone people need to talk to. Video length is fine, by the way
I like this its so nice to hear your perspective, now i see the lyrics in more ways then 1. Im gonna present you how i saw the line as a example " sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock" i thought of that line as water and time are the only thing those 2 have plenty of and dont need to be sold to them. So sell thimgs to those that dont even need your produkt. But now i havev1 more wau to look at it. Tjis is why i love reactions. Have a nice day❤
Your statement that we want to impress more and more people because our tribe is expanding it was very interesting. I thought that was an excellent point.
Thanks for another insightful, personal reaction. As a US citizen, I am terrified of this upcoming year and elections as I watch our democracy dissolve…. And I will get back to your other page soon. I have been stepping back from the computer, for my mental health! ❤️🎶
The rhyme Reminds me of the original film, ‘we’re no angels’, Humphrey Bogart was an escaped prisoner, one of his crimes was selling bottled air, ‘sea air, mountain air, and all purpose air, just for breathing’😂…. There was so much truth in the statement, but today it wouldn’t be a crime.
if you remember in Hi Ren, dark Ren is having a go at light Ren, "Ren mate we've heard it all before sea shells, sea shells on the sea shore" this is what he was referring to as this was written before Hi ren
Not sure whether you have reacted to Dominoes by Ren already but some points you made about Step 2 reminded me of that song. Dominoes would be right up your alley.😅
Thats the first time ive heard it put that the fish needs water and the clock needs time- but i guess you can look at the lyrics that way. Most see it as selling not something they need but something they DONT need because they have an infinite amount of it for free already- why would a fish in the ocean need to buy water? It would be like selling us cans of air - the ultimate in marketing, getting people to buy something they dont need to buy because they have as much as they want for free. And a clock also can be said to have all the time there is.
Oh yeah...that probably makes more sense! This is the thing with reactions, especially when you don't have much time to think and reflect and just go with whatever comes up in your mind at the time!
17:40 You stopped on a line I have never actually read before and I see a spelling mistake!! Hope Ren does not stop his cars by having time off. Taking your foot off the Brakes (not breaks) would be a more effective way of letting the vehicle move forward. You missed the Shell cooperation link. Early on (nearly 200 years ago) the founder began importing pretty shells from the far east to London. An import/export/transport company developed from there and oil shipping became profitable. They later merged to become the company we know today. I think the burning of the Downing St. property is Ren's way of bringing the burning of the Houses of Parliament to mind....?
I work in Mental Health too and agree with everything you say about this governments corruption. I trained also to operate track and trace, never did a single shift, so badly managed and a waste of 37 billion pounds.
I would just like to say. That I am a fan of what you do here on this channel. I appreciate your views. In this world today, as I’m sure you know, it’s basically a sin to disagree with someone. However I believe that all people deserve a voice and opinion. I do enjoy your views. And even if I disagree with you, iam able (as an adult) to understand your views and agree to disagree. Anyway I wanted you to know someone out here cares if you do these viedoes. And I have subscribed to your other channel. And look forward to learning more. Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I actually quite like it when people disagree with me as I see it as a learning opportunity - I only know what I know from learning from other people.
Just imagine how much shells will sell for once all life in the ocean dies! Record profit☠️

Hey! It's not the first time I watch you reacting to Ren's artwork. I appreciate you letting the human being speak before the therapist. I have a request: would you please react to Ren's lyrics video "Uninvited". I am in total disagreement with all of RUclips's reactions about that song. They find it globally funny. I don't. Not at all. I'd like to know if I'm crazy to see bad where there is not, or if Ren's fooled a great part of his audience. Of course, I don't give here clues for my reasoning not to influence your reaction, but I'm very open to discussion. Thank you for your great content. Best regards!
I'll check that one out as I like the ones where there is some disagreement as usually means there is something interesting in there worth talking about.
Interesting take on the "Sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock" line. I understood it as selling a product to people who really wouldn't have needed it otherwise, like being a great marketer or salesman, you can sell sand in a desert. The fish doesn't need water, it lives in the water, it already has all the water it could ever want - but let's just make that fish buy some more water from us, make it believe it needs it. Same for the clock - the clock already knows the time, but we'll find a way to sell it to them. I don't know if this ambiguity was deliberate from Ren's part, but... Wouldn't surprise me.
“Essential employee” here, in America our politicians handed corporations billions to cope with the pandemic and keep the employees in financial security. At my work they furloughed, and laid off half of the laborers while spending millions on stock buybacks to boost executives bonuses and shares. They shake your hand while spitting in your face.
The fascinating thing about this one for me has been how people have related to it from all sides. People I would naturally disagree with politically (a lot of US reactors seen to be on the right/conservative end of the spectrum) seem to find common ground in many of the things Ren says throughout the MG trilogy, but especially with pt2. It's interesting, and important, that it helps conversations flow and engages people in a way that is less tribal. That doesn't happen very often! Agree with you about the state of our government in the UK. So much damage, and all the most vital services have suffered terribly. It's always the vulnerable who bear the brunt of the political posturing isn't it?
Everything you said about energy drinks is in the new South Park episode but it is literally not for kids. Trust me you will enjoy it trust me you don’t want your kids to see it.
The irony of this is I’m guessing MG2 will be shown at corporate training seminars as a way to do it lol, cant wait till you get to MG3 it’s a real piece of art.
Please react to The Kid Laroi's music, he's a 19year old australian rapper/singer who was happily in a relationship with a girl for over 3 years, but she cheated on him with another guy and left him alone, as a escape he's doing music. I would recommend to you to listen to his newest album "The First Time", where he tells us the thoughts he had and the stories they made in 17 songs (and 3 interludes) in 1 very good album. I think other people would also like to see you reacts to it.
But are you aware enough to know that the avoidance comes from a base of shame? The fear of looking like a failure for asking for help in the society they look down on those who ask for help but they reward those who stab others in the back and take more than they need. Ren is a product of a very rebellious and outraged X generation I think. He could literally be my son because so many things that he mentions in interviews or things that I either listen to or watch or paid attention to in my 20s and 30s Bill Hicks, Rage Against the Machine, the movie zeitgeist etc.
Latest brands and trainers? Do people in the UK have teachers I'm so fukin confused 😂😅 what are you saying? That kids in the UK need trainers or teachers or role models? This is obviously a cultural difference.
It's going to be difficult to have short reaction videos if you do something more than make faces or jump around in your chair. I'm old, so prefer thoughtful commentary, therefore, am probably in a minority.
Here for the longer content like this :) If I just wanted to listen to the video with someone saying “yeah I liked it - now like and subscribe I’m trying to get to 10k subscribers….etc” there are plenty of those around, but what you bring is your unique perspective and thoughts and that’s what makes it worth watching. I don’t know if the analytics can tell you, but years ago when I bothered trying to create content, I realised a lot of “views” are just people dipping in and bailing really quickly - so if you are /averaging/ 6 minutes, I suspect that a large percentage of real views are probably watching the whole thing, but the average if pulled down from people watching 30 seconds and dipping out. If that’s the case, then you won’t win them over by cutting your reactions down to much shorter, you’d probably find your average drops not goes up because those of us who do watch the whole thing, would be clocking up less minutes while your total views would be similar so the people just clicking through, would drag that average down. Kudos for expressing your political feelings with this one and really getting into the weeds with concrete researched examples from here in the U.K. I often point out that we haven’t had an actual left wing government here since the 70s (New Labour being a “Tory Lite” and actually pushed ahead with PFI with the NHS even more than the Tories had, which is now coming home to roost with massive overheads for the NHS to just stay in the hospitals we the tax payer originally built, but which were handed over to private companies through PFI to fund investment in the buildings instead of just paying for things from taxes at the time - meaning we the tax payers have now payed for those investments many times over into the pockets of the rich capitalists who are now continuing to cream off profit from the record amount we put into the NHS - I know…lots of reasons the NHS is costing more, but one is that tax now gets funnelled out as profit instead of delivering benefits to patients - and much as I put most of the blame for that on the Tories, New Labour certainly didn’t help either). So - with over 40 years of capitalist government putting profit ahead of people, we are suffering a lot of the “late stage capitalism” woes that are also afflicting America - the wealth gap, the erosion of workers rights, corruption in leadership etc. I loved your point about Downing St if it burned down - the current government would absolutely find a way to make money for themselves off that just as many of them profited from Brexit and Covid and Ukraine crisis.
Part 1: The concept
Part 2: Macro Level
Part 3: The personal level
Buckle up for part 3.
Going to do it next I think now I’m in the flow.
Part 3 is gonna be absolutely right up your alley. You might be the perfect person to react to it, given your profession.

Good review!
And welcome to the Ren Rabbit Hole :) PArt 3 is a must, its superb- but then, so is most of Rens content.
Part 3 next ….
Amazing and interesting input! Will be looking forward to when you see part 3. It's by far my fav out of the trilogy. 🥰
Think I might do that as my next Ren track now I’m in the Ren flow!

Great reaction! 👍🏻

Well done, great breakdown, ren always speaks the truth brilliantly through his music, what a treasure he is ❤
Very thoughtful and complete reaction/analysis! Thanks for doing this. Can't wait for part 3 ❤❤
Your breakdowns and articulate thoughts are CRIMINALLY underrated. You should have millions of subscribers. Thank you for always sharing your story, opinions, and encourage your own audience to continue to question further.
Another very enjoyable reaction. Thank you! Did someone say yet that Shell started by selling sea shells? And then oil as well.

That’s very kind of you to say Oscar, thank you.
Always a great reaction.. Ren is just spot on every time.. appreciate it.. ❤️🎶❤️
Check out the history of the shell oil company. They started out selling shells! Hence the logo.

One of the best if not the best reaction to this song I've seen. Bravo.
Great reaction. I think you needed every minute to do this one.
Your statement that we want to impress more and more people because our tribe is expanding it was very interesting. I thought that was an excellent point.
Futures bets manipulates the cost of things on the market also when it comes to needed things for survival.
4:28 so eloquent. Euphemism describing the epitome of euphoric epiphany. Eureka!

The sea shells are dollar bills or british pounds it's a perceived value.
I can’t wait to see your take on Mg3. Peace
Probably be the next Ren track I do... which will probably be very soon!
You should continue the juice WRLD series with “I’ll be fine” I’m curious how you’ll feel about it, great stuff!!
Or “Go hard 2.0” both great listens
17:40 You stopped on a line I have never actually read before and I see a spelling mistake!! Hope Ren does not stop his cars by having time off. Taking your foot off the Brakes (not breaks) would be a more effective way of letting the vehicle move forward.
You missed the Shell cooperation link. Early on (nearly 200 years ago) the founder began importing pretty shells from the far east to London. An import/export/transport company developed from there and oil shipping became profitable. They later merged to become the company we know today.

Yeah, but REN usually has 3 meanings for a word…no more coffee breaks for you…😂
I work in Mental Health too and agree with everything you say about this governments corruption. I trained also to operate track and trace, never did a single shift, so badly managed and a waste of 37 billion pounds.

Kudos for expressing your political feelings with this one and really getting into the weeds with concrete researched examples from here in the U.K. I often point out that we haven’t had an actual left wing government here since the 70s (New Labour being a “Tory Lite” and actually pushed ahead with PFI with the NHS even more than the Tories had, which is now coming home to roost with massive overheads for the NHS to just stay in the hospitals we the tax payer originally built, but which were handed over to private companies through PFI to fund investment in the buildings instead of just paying for things from taxes at the time - meaning we the tax payers have now payed for those investments many times over into the pockets of the rich capitalists who are now continuing to cream off profit from the record amount we put into the NHS - I know…lots of reasons the NHS is costing more, but one is that tax now gets funnelled out as profit instead of delivering benefits to patients - and much as I put most of the blame for that on the Tories, New Labour certainly didn’t help either). So - with over 40 years of capitalist government putting profit ahead of people, we are suffering a lot of the “late stage capitalism” woes that are also afflicting America - the wealth gap, the erosion of workers rights, corruption in leadership etc.
I loved your point about Downing St if it burned down - the current government would absolutely find a way to make money for themselves off that just as many of them profited from Brexit and Covid and Ukraine crisis.
