2025 IS A WRAP. WOW… WHAT A YEAR. WE LOVE YOU ALL 💜 TL;PR:

(Rilla here) I genuinely can’t believe it’s been a full year since EJ and I started this channel. What began as two friends hanging out and vibing—trying to reconnect the brotherhood we had back in high school—turned into something so much bigger. One casual session became consistent recording… and then it became a community.

Fast forward one year: 15,000+ subscribers, 285 videos, and an absolutely incredible group of people we get to share this journey with. A massive thank-you to the two fandoms that helped shape this channel from the ground up — Ren’s Renegades and BTS’s A.R.M.Y. You welcomed us, supported us, and rode with us from day one.

If you told us back in high school that we’d one day run a YouTube channel reacting to music we love, we would’ve laughed. Yet here we are.

As we head into 2026, we want to try new things and branch out a bit — new ventures, new partnerships, different video styles, podcast-style conversations, and more. I want to again reiterate that I do literally everything myself once we are done recording... so you want to talk about a shik ton of work. It's kinda absurd.

That said, we want to stay transparent with you. We can only get together one day a week, and during that time we usually record 5–7 reactions max. We also don’t hyper-analyze everything — our channel has always been about unfiltered, honest reactions. Growing on YouTube today is tough, especially when negativity and outrage seem to be rewarded. That’s not who we are and it never will be.

All we ask in 2026 is patience as we continue learning, experimenting, and growing — together.

Thank you, seriously, from the bottom of our hearts. We’ll see you tomorrow with the first video of 2026: The Big Push — “Icarus / Acustarus.”

We love you all 💜

EJ is sick today, so instead of reacting to the latest Skinner Brothers track, we're releasing our reaction to Ren's "Children of the Moon" 🌚
