The story I heard was Ren was ending his day on the street busking and he walked over to Sam singing without any equipment. So he invited him to use his equipment and placed a bet that he would attract a lot of attention with the microphone and speakers. And the rest is that Sam and Ren was busking before he Ren played with his band.

They met when Ren had finished busking for the day and was on his way home and seen Sam singing so he offered Sam his microphone and amp so more people could here him and Ren played the guitar. And Sam could keep all the money. Sam was 16 and Ren was 23 at the time. There a video of that day on Sam’s channel, you see Ren sitting in a doorway playing while Sam is singing

The green wheelbarrow leaning against the church is how they transport their gear. You would also probably really enjoy their collaboration on a studio performance of an original song Blind Eyed.

You are right about the mics, and also, to Ren's left there's a green barrow leaning against the building, the "transportation" they used to bring their gear... Man...Thanks for this reaction!

Ren just dropped a new song TODAY. It's an acoustic mash up of Fred Again tracks. It's amazing.

Boudy, Ren and Sam have really tapped into the creative flow of the universe to bring us all their sounds that makes our imaginations fly. ♾Rb

Ren and Sam are just sooo good. They just feed off each other when together. 🙂

Ren has said that he always tries to focus only on the music when he performs - to be in a flow state and actually BECOME the music.

Did anyone tell you that you have the best background of all reactors? That is, the visual background.

Great reaction! Love the level of appreciation you have for these two beautiful gems💛💛Great in their own right but together pure magic🤩

One of my favorite things about these guys is the green wheelbarrow they use to get their gear to the street

Love Ren and Love Sam, together they are simply electrifying.

Love love love this performance!!!

Шикарно! Голоса супер, супер, супер! Я в шоке, в хорошем смысле. Спасибр❤

You can't see it in this clip but they used to carry their equipment in a beat up old wheelbarrow. It took quite a while before they got to the 3 mikes and amps set up of the Big Push .

This is such an amazing moment in time. And thankfully it's captured for us to enjoy any time and anywhere we want.

🦋 Well, thank you for the links. I went and checked both of them out more thoroughly love them. So an interesting interview with Ren on the Zach Sang Show. He talked about his journey of being misdiagnosed for so many years, and being so chronically sick and then one day finally went to an infectious disease doctor, and he discovered that he had lymes disease. Him speaking out at his age of I think maybe 26 or something is a voice for so many people. And it’s a personal journey for me with my child about something like that. I feel that you understand this, but I just wanted to reiterate how far reaching things can be sometimes, so thank you for that.

I wish you knew how much it literally makes my day when I see you've done a reaction to Ren or other artists I'm into, my god man, why haven't they invented teleportation devices yet, I need to have a beer with you and pick your brain. Not trying to sound like a stalker, but as I get older, semi retired, job related ptsd from seeing things people weren't meant to see.... AARRRGGGHH......Music is my savior man, NOTHING has gotten me through the darkness and torn me down then lifted me back up like music has. And of the few friends I still stay in contact with, they just don't get it, they think I'm just a music junkie, which I am, but I'll show them something that moves me, or broke me, and they're like...Meh. Again, your break downs and descriptions and synopsis, are like you downloaded my thoughts and then mixed them with some new words I wish I would have thought of...lol. If ya ever get to the U.S. and wanna see a boring fly over state in the middle of nowhere Missouri, hit me up, first round is on me!! Oh yeah, was "windscreen" the word you were looking for on the mic?? I've heard them called a bunch of things, also, isn't the mic with the black windscreen the SV-200 series, cause you can pick them up new for under $100 all day long, I thought the other (better) mic was an SM-58, they're closer to $200 range, but I haven't played music, for an audience, for a very long time, so I might be wrong. ✌💚

There's a reason why this is the second most popular video on Ren's channel after Hi Ren.

Loved your reaction. So much more Ren to hear. I mean a ton. Can’t wait to take the journey with you. Thank you.

Lol just watched a premiere of this and came to see yours to watch it again 😂

🦋 thank you so much for your love of music and your willingness to share it with all of us. So many of these people I would never even know about if it had not been for this channel and I feel blessed that I found your channel. Have a great weekend. Peace be upon thee.

What a treat to watch this with you. Love hearing your thoughts. Pure joy and generosity.

Ren,the genius. More ren, Sam and Big push please!

I love the live collaboration they did, just awesome.

They really are extraordinarily talented young men.

Terrific reaction and analysis. Thanks for supporting Ren!!

I love watching you try to climb into your headphones when you react to great musicians. Have an amazing day

Habibi you beautiful Soul of a Arab Man. imho the Notes at the End tell exactly how great of a Musician he is

Really enjoyed watching you see this one! Thanks :)

What a great reaction! I'm pretty sure the mic is the old school SM-58. He showed it one time. I bought mine so many years ago that the price new was under $100.
