Man…. What you did for Samuel… brought a tear to my eye… Good Guy Mahone over here!! :)

[@harrymanback3475]

It's was genuinely a lovely thing to do, the world needs more of this right now ❤

[@sam_midori520]

Yes, I'm Samuel, Naruto was very special to me and for me to achieve my dream of being a great digital influencer, now I save money for the PC and video every day

[@thesolidnick]

As a Brazilian, I couldn't be any happier watching a video as I got right now. First of all, I'm glad you could experience how friendly brazilians are, and that you had fun in your stay. And what you did for Samuel is truly an amazing gesture. Our currency is not strong at all, and electronics in general are very expensive, so it's not easy at all to get things like videogames around here. Congratulations on being such an amazing person and a great KZbinr. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Brazil! Hope you come back soon!

[@TheHeartbound]

This was awesome man, looks like you had a lot of fun. What you did for Samuel is probably something he'll remember forever!

My friend Andrew, I watched this video with my family, I was moved by everything, even more so when I gave the gift to the boy. It was spectacular, you deserve every success, a kind, humble person with a huge heart! I was very happy to see this video. It was amazing! Thank you very much for your kindness. I'm Fernando and I showed that we have honest and polite Brazilians!! A big hug, I'm waiting for your next visit! a strong one for Joe and Andrew. Good health, happiness, a Christmas and New Year full of light and health. much success to you! A hug from Brazil, from Guarujá!!

[@TrickyGym]

This and the Japan vlog are some of my all time favorites from you. A perfect blend of sightseeing and pokemon cards. Keep up the great work man! 👊

[@juniogof]

Thanks for be so respectful with this video. It's seems you had a nice time in Brazil. You're always welcome. Thanks for the match too.

[@bulbasaurappreciator]

I know this video won't get anywhere near the amount of attention as the work you put into it but that was a lovely, heartwarming watch ❤

[@kauesales]

You deserve all the success you have. You are humble and kind. Being Brazilian, I really understand what Samuel felt, congratulations on the video, I hope to see you here again. Come to Brazil!

[@sam_midori520]

[@ChampionsTradingCo]

Bro, my wife is Brazilian, ive been there a few times and the people are amazing. What you did for Samuel made me cry, the people there are so poor financially and I promise you he will always remember what you did for him.

[@cooltrainerpat_tcg]

As someone who grew up in a part of South Florida with a huge Brazilian community, I gotta say, that dude punching the shit outta that coconut was the most Brazilian thing I have seen in a long time.

[@mrmookase93]

Fernando the GOAT. Learning English for Battlefield is amazing

[@MundoE]

5:26 I'm the guy who just got an amazing Raikou signed up, I just can't believe that

[@TrickyGym]

nice to meet you!!!

[@Xanatu]

Hey Andrew, it's Freya (Caster) here. This video absolutely touched my heart. I miss Brazil so much. Seeing you fully embrace it and enjoying yourself so much was truly wonderful. Thank you

[@TrickyGym]

Thanks for the kind words!! ☺️ I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@pedalpoint6507]

You are the best man! I had the pleasure to meet you at the LAIC tournament and it was a blast. Thank you for all your kindness bro 👊🏻

[@TheBrian1921]

I never thought that I would end up crying when watching this but here we are 😅 amazing video!! Showing how amazing the Pokemon community is even outside of the playing table. ❤

[@takenname8053]

Love how a show or games can transcend language barriers and connect people together :)

[@raphaelmorgado1429]

It's nice to hear you guys had a great time here in Brazil! The Pokemon TCG is very famous at least here in Sao Paulo (everything here is kind of big due the amount of people who lives here) and it's no surprise you have a lot of fans. Your channel rocks! Please announce when you return to Sao Paulo! We can tell you all the tips and tricks. If you liked Guarujá, wait to see our most beautiful beaches.

[@yetiinmyspaghetti5174]

wake up babe new tricky gym vlog edit; this video was so sick - awesome what you did for samuel

[@JacksonVne]

Stumbled on this video on my feed and boy am i glad i did. Really cool to see you being so excited about my home! Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for blassing that kid with his dream game and console!

[@xenu1885]

I could hear the laugh @1:31. What a great time, thanks for sharing!

[@rootsradical]

I like the bit where the kid kicks the ball into the other kids face at 6:31.

[@yurikasugahara3912]

Wonderful video! Feeling lucky that I had the opportunity to take a picture with you in LAIC!

[@redskarr]

That was a really cool thing you did, you know he's never going to forget you and one day when he's old and gray he'll still remember you

[@skinnypepper1553]

Why you gotta have us all crying like this bro 😂 God has truly used you in amazing ways. More than you probably realize. Keep that heart full and never lose your shine brother. The work you do as an ambassador of this community has big ripples and you’re making amazing waves!

[@ChronoField]

First of all i'd like to thank you for being such a amazing person. In the LAIC I had the opportunity of meeting you and taking a photo, which you kindly agreed to do. And thank you for being such an amazing youtuber and showing the world the amazing country Brazil is. Some people have the wrong view that all we have is violence and robery, but I can see that you know we are much more! Thank you again, Andrew, wish you the best!

[@vini_toniatto]

Bro, what you did to Samuel was amazing!! Really glad you got to experience what we have best around here! I went to LAIC and took a picture with you between rounds, probably when you were about to rest a little bit, and you even smilled hahahah THE COOLEST GUY in Ptcg community! ❤

[@Lima-mi4zr]

God bless you my friend, for this great gesture of gratitude towards my people.

[@ericridgeway6148]

You’re the best for doing that for Samuel! You know only made a lifetime follower, but a lifetime friend.

[@VmkAce1]

These recent vlogs have been unlike any others man, you just do it different, in the best way possible. This game has changed my life and helped me make so many new friends and it's so awesome to experience that same feeling through your content aswell. You are living your best life and I'm so happy that you get to do what you do, you're such a pillar for this community and you deserve nothing but success. I cannot wait to see the next one, thank you from a fellow Andrew.

[@happycwb2057]

As a Brazilian, it really warmed my heart seeing how much fun you had visiting my country!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video Andrew!!

[@drich.5984]

Man this was such a great vid. I really feel like you're so down to Earth and one of the homies. You're so relatable and fun to watch. And the kindness you did at the end really got me emotional. You're a great example of what we should all strive to be my guy. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip and I'm glad you gave us all a little bit of it to enjoy too.

[@MrWesLee]

I'm very happy for the video and for everything you experienced here in Brazil. It's sad that I couldn't take a photo with you due to the rush at LAIC, but who knows next time.

[@plencionivlog]

Bro... As a brazilian i'm really touched for everything that you did for Samuel... congratulations for the big heart that you have Mr. Andrew Mahone! Hope to meet you some day.

[@thiagoflorencio3712]

If all guys in Brazil can do what Fernando does to coconuts… do not mess with Brazilian guys! Yikes!

[@supermalukim8447]

we have a candy called 7 belo, and there is a party trick to open a coconut with it. google " como furar um coco com uma bala 7 belo" and see for yourself =P

[@JogaFora]

Damn, didnt believe you rly gave the video game. Imalso brazilian and the video was amazing! You visited may places ive already been with such a fresh new way to enjoy it. JUST AMAZING! "Aqui é Brasil, porra!" (you spent a lotta money for our standards)

[@ivana.3162]

This is why Andrew is my favorite guy in KZbin. Dude’s real and got a big heart!

[@TopDeck_TCG]

I loved the old vlogs and then you stopped for the longest time. I was happy when you said you were going to start again. I never expected we would get masterpieces like this one and Japan worlds. You are amazing and creative and love the storytelling you create! Cannot wait for the next one!

[@nannackermann]

Next time you come to Brazil, tell us Andrew. As a brazilian and your fan I will be glad to guide and give tips about to hang around the place, or if you guys want, translate something you need. After the kindness you did to Samuel and the people I'm no more your fan, I'm whole ar-conditioner. Thanks for the video, it's inspiring, man.

[@AlexRamalho777]

Amazing video! You're always welcome to Brazil! Thank you for being so nice to us and to our country!

[@saunashop]

So sick! You're a goat for hooking Samuel up.

[@lykebank]

Yeaaaah these vlogs are the best thing on your channel, lately!

[@IAmCacturneJack]

This video blew my expectations away!!! Such great work, everything is so well done and the care you put into the vlog shows. The relationships you made on the trip are truly heartwarming to see and your acts of kindness and generosity genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Love to see the hard work you put into these vlogs and I will be sure to share.

[@pigchefer]

You talked about Fernando a ton on Twitch but the fact that you did not spoil Samuel’s existence on stream made this video absolute peak storytelling please never spoil your vlogs again 🔥🔥

[@RyanKokrda]

I love the vlogs. Makes the day go by faster for me.

[@prefiroandardeskt]

I'm really glad you had a great times here in Brazil, people here are really lovely as you are!

[@FelypeNery]

My eyes are sweating here... I am used to see sometimes your videos but what I saw in this one, showed me the size of your heart. You got my subs and I hope that very soon you will reach one million subs! you are amazing!

[@KonstantinosKousidis]

Dude!! Why you tryna make me cry like this on Christmas?? Really heart warming to see you take care of Samuel like that! ❤

[@CMgnarles]

This is what I like about Andrew. You’d be silly to not want to explore a place you travel too. Especially just to play Pokémon cards.. I love Pokémon, but the things that will be remembered are these. Nicely done!

[@Scharrer23]

nice that you show the postive about the weekend and the country!

[@JhowMarquez]

andrew, GOD bless you very much!!! As a Brazilian, I must say that you are very welcome to come back, what you did for this guy, Samuel, was a great sign that is inside your heart and soul! Keep on with your amazing videos and being that kind person!

MAN i really love these vlogs! the voice over and music and everything are so charming and nice to watch. pleeeeaase keep them up

[@Vinigomez]

Much love from brazil!! Been enjoying your content since 2018 when I used to play pkmtcg competitively. I dont play that much anymore but always keep up with the game and your videos.

[@patrick03vargas]

This is such a heart warming video. Your time spent with Samuel reminded me of the many people I met in different countries while in the military who were such great and special people who helped make a strangers visit to a new place easier. Social media wasn't around back then and cellphones were just being introduced to the world en mass so there wasn't a way to try to keep in touch or say thank you other than a smile, a hug (when warranted), or a bow and thank you. Thanks for sharing this video. Its such a great watch.

[@Slrpology]

Damn never thought i would ever shed a tear watching your videos, such a W human!!! Andrew you are the best!!!!!

[@supermalukim8447]

My friends appeared in this video =P I wasn't with them on the first day! So I havent took a photo with you! Loved your trip video! You,your wife and friends are always welcomed here!

[@Victini0510]

Man what an awesome trip and vlog. Shame about no Day 2, but Fernando's coconut shattering was awesome! And Samuel was great, so exuberant and just enjoying what he loves despite not having a lot of cash. Being pretty poor most of my life, I can definitely relate. That gift was awesome man. Glad you enjoyed the trip to Brazil, made it look a lot better than the internet would let on haha

[@drigorr]

Amazing video Andrew, It's very nice to see when people have a nice experience in our country, I loved your vlog (had some tears watching it at the metro haha). Iwanted to say hello to you at LAIC since I've learnd a lot from you and your videos and love the way you do things. But I don't like bothering when I meet people I know from internet, so I didn't, now I regret it hahahha. But keep the great work and being this nice person

[@TheStormRogue]

I can hear that dudes knuckles shatter on that coconut lmao

This is what the Pokemon community is all about. I knew Andrew was a good guy before but WOW. This will be something that Samuel remembers for the rest of his life. I hope he will do the same for someone else one day

[@alexbiersner3350]

It confuses me as to how your group ordered Domino's while outside the US lol. Very glad you and your friend were wise and left the room to experience Brazilian cuisine. Sure, American food might hit different when you're outside the country and/or feeling a little homesick...but for some, outside the country is a once in a lifetime experience. Don't waste it on pizza you can easily get back at home lol
