Our Friend Benji Travis From US Visits Our New House in the Philippines - Feb. 7, 2023 | Vlog

[@ANA.sees.the.World12]

27:09 Benji, never apologize for bringing up Mama. She SHOULD be celebrated. I love hearing about her and your relationship with her. I lost my mom last year, so I can imagine how the family is feeling. I try to talk about my mom with my son so we can reminisce about good memories. It’s a way to honor our loved ones to talk about them.

[@RigilKentaurus]

I love how Mickey is genuinely happy with Benji's visit, it shows and it makes me feel warm inside :).

[@ANA.sees.the.World12]

23:44 OMG I love that Benji got to reunite with Mikey and RJ. It’s sad the circumstances why the family is there. When Benji talked to the camera like he was talking to Mama Nini, I literally started welling up. She was truly amazing and the impact she made on so many lives. She will be missed. I also look forward to seeing the girls at the Mabuhay Squad Farmhouse. They would love it!

[@lillybelle5572]

Such an emotional vlog The way Benji kept mentioning Mama one can only imagine their grief, my condolences to them all Mama will surely be missed by millions🤍 I'm frm the caribbean too and I remembered when my mum ate Star Apple she ate it with a spoon to avoid the milk staining. Love the new furniture❤️

[@mariloushelledy]

Benji and Mikey…foodies unite 😃 Love seeing you guys together.

[@maryrosecoy1433]

I cried so much when I found out about Judy’s mom. She was such a lovely lady. Full of love and laughter.

[@willowwinkle]

There's so much love between you and Benji. And also their whole family. Praying for Judy and the whole family. It's hard losing a parent. I lost mine and what you said about "paradigm shifting" is so true - at some point you really feel like life and loved ones are precious and valuable and experiences are what matter at the end of the day when the bounty of the "hustle" is over and life itself is coming to its end - experiences/togetherness is what we will take with us. Love is infinite but our lives here are finite.

[@islandpeace8158]

So happy to see you and Benjie in 1 frame again... sadly Judy couldn't be there with mama to see your beautiful place in person... but I hope next time the whole Travis family can enjoy the Mabuhay Squad home, I can just imagine the kids enjoying the place 💕

[@JoeyLEGENDARY]

Rip momma nini, nice to see Benjie with you guys. Too bad Judy and the girls did not come too. We love you Mama. 😢

[@Mimi_Mimi88]

glad to see Benji in your vlog, I cried when I watched Judy's recent vlog.. Mama Nini, you'll be missed.. 😢 May you rest in peace... 🩵🙏 no more pain.. 😔

[@dnonya5208]

Love and hugs to Benji and Judy 🥰💜 My sincerest condolences 🙏.

[@solangtuaco]

On hindsight, it would have been epic to have had Mama Nini, Mikey’s Mom, RJ and Benji work on preparing a feast. That would have been great!

[@BenjiManTV]

Loved your home and your hospitality. You both are amazing and can’t wait to be back!

[@LivinTheDream.]

Would love to see Judy and the kids at your house in the future. I’m glad Benjie dropped by and visited you guys. I hope you guys make a collaboration and do some food review on any of the local restaurants there. My condolences Benjie and Judy, I’m a fan on yours too since Judy’s single days. ❤️

[@solangtuaco]

Great collab! While we are still grieving Mama’s passing, it’s so nice to see much loved youtubers that I follow do a collab. The Travis family and your channel is one of first I subscribed to and watched all these years. Just fun, positive, wholesome and inspiring content all these years. Can’t wait to see Judy and the kids visit the Mabuhay Squad Farmhouse soon! 💜

[@leenatan2986]

Glad to see Benji in the Mabuhay Farm House ❤️ Can't wait for Judy & the girls, hopefully soon.

[@simply_geri]

i was partly thinking that you guys will meet since judy & the whole fam is here because of her mom's wake🥺 i hope this atleast made benji feel ok...❤

[@TynneMarie]

This was a nice surprise, I'm just wishful thinking if Benjie (and Judy) will visit the Mabuhay Squad farm house since they are here for Mama Nini. And hoping the whole fam will experience this next time they'll visit the Philippines, #TitoMikey and #TitoRJ style🥂💖☺️.

[@emicagampang4803]

Kuya Mikey and Benji’s conversations about food is the high that I’m here for! It’s like I’m listening to a podcast talking about fruits and filipino food. Ughhhh now I’m hungry 🤤

[@dianganda20]

Glad to see Benji in your vlog despite of the circumstances. I am also a fan of Judy’s mama. Thank you for welcoming him into your beautiful home. Glad to also know you have found your ikigai Mikey ☺️👍🏻 Continue to make memories at home.

[@lingsambajon5337]

Nice to see you and Benjie together☺️

[@jerijoylove]

I wanted to tear up when you and Benji were talking about mama. Been watching them since judy started KZbin actually, it's tough to see that mama is gone, rip mama! Also i was overjoyed with happiness when I saw you and Benji in one video. You guys are one of the main youtubers i love watching. Much love you to mama Benji Judy and the family. Hi and hugs to you and rj as well! 💕💕💕

[@anaradaza1509]

I waited for this 😊 Looking forward with Judy and the girls next time 💖 Condolence Travis family 💐💖

[@eleanore_]

Cried and realized a lot at 39:14. I felt heard and motivated to appreciate more the little things in life that spark happiness! Thank you Sir Mikey! I am currently in my late 20's and I agree with the hustle to work and work and work. :( We only live once and we have to cherish each moment with the special people we love and live for. I am so glad that you and Benji had time to talk about these things. Mama Nini will always be remembered! 🕊

[@marlieconson9147]

You and Benjie were very entertaining and fun to listen to, benjie has a good sense of taste,love how he describe the fruits and give the importance why we should eat them❤

[@DynamixWarePro]

Nice to see you and Benji together again and condolences on the passing of moma. I lost my dad in December 2021 and uncle in June 2022 so I understand what it is like to lose a close family member. 9:09 Those birds look like Eurasian tree Sparrows (Passer montanus). The square mark on the side of their face and brown head tells them apart from Eurasian House Sparrows which don't have a square mark on the side of their face and their head is more of a greyish-purple, not brown,

[@ANA.sees.the.World12]

44:00 I LOOOOOVE how the two worlds collided with the Favorite Tito video. I love Judy because of her original beauty channel then her family vlogging. I love Mikey for his parodies and music videos. I love seeing the two together.

[@joyfulfamily1423]

Aww Benji!! It’s so nice to see him too bad Judy was not able to come. RIP Mama May you rest in Peace we will miss so much. Condolences to Judy, Travis and Family❤

[@ruthsanchez9724]

Your place is gorgeous. I am really happy for you.

[@gtystyle]

saw you at It'sJudyLife's video with Benji and I started binge watching your videos. love your energy!!

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Yay! Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

[@Sanfranshelley]

So sweet how Beji kept reminiscing about Judy's Mama so sweetly, she's so loved by so many! You two are 2 of a kind✌🙂, the fruit tasting was fun, hope to get to try some of those too one day.

[@jacelalthea1069]

So happy to see Benji and Judy having fun in the Philippines despite Mama's passing. Love them, Love them. And also you!!! Love you Mikey! Your house, can I just say.. GRABE KAGANDA! And we just had a marathon sa AntsCanada because of Judys vlog.❤

[@vidapdl6854]

Sincere condolences Benji & Judy. May your mama RIP. Chico is one of my favorite PH fruit. Every time I go to the PH I made sure I eat Chicos. In life, material thing is nothing and worthless. What is important is the love of the family. Enjoy each moment as tomorrow may not come and has no guarantee.

[@tinagaduci3709]

So sorry to hear about Judy’s mom😢. She was such a nice lady. God bless her.🙏✨ I send my condolences to you Mickey, to Judy and to your whole family❤️🙏✨

[@judithbalchin6777]

It's like coco pod you also lick the seeds for making chocolate nice to see you both my son's condolences to you and name seek I have know momma over the yrs she makes the best sour dough bread life huh may she rest in peace she was such a help for the girlzzz they will miss her so so much

[@khimarb2469]

Another hour of happiness, yay!! I love that Benji is here but same time deeply saddened by what happened. Love hugs to Judy, and fam. No more pain for Mama Nini, she maybe cooks food for God, her specialties, in heaven ♥

[@JoeyLEGENDARY]

Quick comment Mikey… about the rug in front of the sauna, I worry about that with you especially with the glass floor and your injured back. Once you exit you may slip and the glass is doubly unforgiving on your healing back. Either find a better place to put the sauna or get something larger (more heavier rug) placed at the entrance/exit of the sauna? We worry about you Mikey and RJ :)

[@finaaldaba5341]

I thought of that, too.

[@JoeyLEGENDARY]

Great minds… 😅

[@marthaaugustine3835]

Benji is a sweet person. A lovely father of 5 girls

[@Lonesome__Dove]

I really cant wait to see the finished product with the pool. Its going to look so luxurious.

[@bliahang3131]

Benji and Mikey together on a vlog???? I'm so happy to see you both Reunite you guys are too funny. I love to see you both tasting fruits and talking about food. You are right you are their coolest uncle. I can't wait until you guys are all together again it will be fun. Looking forward to that. Yes and sad news Mama is no longer with us. Still praying for the family. 🙏🏼

[@katrinamarietorres1438]

I hope to see the whole Travis fam enjoy the farm house soon. I can still remember the parody you did with JMK; they were so young then and so adorable. Love this fam and praying for their peace of heart and mind in this difficult time.

[@rootbeer1053]

Don’t forget to add door stops around the glass cabinet doors, like by the bathroom door, especially with littles coming to visit ❤Joseph room looks amazing!

[@marthaaugustine3835]

Heart felt condolences to Judy n family. RIP mumma

[@Lonesome__Dove]

You could def tell the difference in the sound once u got in the booth and thats not even using a different mic! Cant wait for THAT antscanada content! Your voice is already so soothing snd such a major part as to why the content is so good so the studio is going to take it to the next level!

[@yagagzable]

This vlog was the reason I came to watch you again. I really wondered why you still have a little bit of subscribers not until I checked my subscriptions. It was your other channel that I subscribed to. I totally missed a lot. Catching up with your long vlogs and loving it. I am hoping you reach a million subscribers too in this channel. ♥️

[@LightBringer2810]

Love star apple. The milky stuff is latex. Birds and chilli peppers have evolved to mutually benefit from one another. The birds get nutrients from the peppers without the sensitivity to capsaicin. On the other hand, the peppers get their seeds dispersed through a wider area because of the birds.

[@elainetyger]

Yay for the new ant channel audio!

[@lesliechiodini9118]

i really really love you guys! You keep it so real and down to earth and I can relate in so many ways. I lost my mom 1/18 just a few weeks ago and Mikey you are so right about focusing on family and making memories. I regret so much and have so much guilt for not spending more quality time with my mom. Its a terrible feeling. I wish I was more focused on having fun and not so serious all the time and not so naive that she would be with me longer. She was only 68 so I thought I had more time. You can't always rely on tomorrow. I miss her so much!

[@addastra03]

Back on this video after a year and it's nice to see that Judy and the Girls are now visiting the Mabuhay Squad Farm house!

[@royyapp9067]

On the highway out here from Montego Bay to Kingston we have all these difficulties words in each different parish that produces their own

[@deetaijeron29]

Hafa adai! Love you Mikey, RJ, Travis Family It's judys life & JMKL Mama Sending love from Guam! 🇬🇺

[@nikibrandon1]

You guys are making me salivate. Mangosteen is my fav. It is so expensive here in the US and it is hard to find good ones. I totally agree agree with you when it comes to home cook meal. We don’t need to measure anything when I cook Filipino dishes. I just need to know the ingredients. Every dish is to taste. I’m so jealous, you were eating the fruits I haven’t had in years. Thanks for sharing your videos. Please extend my condolences and prayers to Judy’s family. Best regards and take care.

[@hugsuniverse]

😂😂😂 I love how when you were eating, in the background your helpers were taking a large plant for a walk! 🥰😍 How loving and compassionate to every life form. Your iguanas (Lucy and Ricky?) are hands down the healthiest I have ever seen. Oh!! Thanks to you and RJ , I got the sprouting kit on Amazon, never thought of doing it- and trying mung beans. YUMmmmm… roosters crowing in the background sounds so fun. Are you getting some fancy chickens?

[@dinnopascual4887]

Hello to Mickey and R.j.! How are you doing? I love that yellow egg chair so much!

[@Whamphyry]

Just a comment (might not even be widely acceptable method), but the way to open mangosteen is to unplug the jutting stem and crown to leave an open hole to the hard mangosteen shell, then cracking open the shell with that hole should be easy. Of course, it is easier to pop out that stem and crack open the shell if the mangosteen is ripe. One way to check if the fruit is ripe is that when you press on the shell, it should give or dent a bit (dont press too hard though haha). If the mangosteen shell is hard and does not dent when you press it your thumb, then it might still be unripe. Enjoy eating them mangosteen super fruits!

[@AkoSiRC10]

great vlog mikey, can't wait for benji to be back with, ate judy and the girls to see and stay at your beautiful house mikey....

[@lucascalma605]

Good evening, and welcome back once again to you my friend Mikey! I remember that "Coolest Tito Ever" video of yours, and nice to meet you Benji, but condolences to Judy's mom. Anyway, happy to hear that you are appreciative of the beautiful Farmhouse, and personally, if Judy and the kids were there, I'm sure that they would've enjoyed the ant room with that trampoline, and would've had fun in the spinning chairs and maybe even on the TV watching kids stuff on KZbin! But you know, while Judy and the girls never showed up in there, I know that we'll all be waiting for them to visit the farmhouse!

[@royyapp9067]

I did get on mypark I love already may God stand with you in this time of need

[@mercedesortiz3818]

Hi guys totally enjoyed the video. Sorry for their loss 🙏🫶🏽

[@chelle7596]

Oooh star apple is deliciousness! I LOVE it!

[@maryannbootsong2412]

I can still remember your Dancecember vlogs. They were so much fun. The girls will definitely love the farm house of their coolest Tito. 😉

[@finaaldaba5341]

Welcome to the Mabuhay Squad Farm House Benjie- my condolences. That fruits taste test is awesome. I wonder how your girls will react. That would be fun. Speaking of wonder, Mikey, are you going to host the wedding, i mean, wedding reception ? Or could it be at Torres Farm... hmmm. I'm just excited about this event as well. Be careful about the rug in your sauna -Unless it sticks on the floor. Lovin that esrly morning view when the sunrays go through the trees . What a creation!

[@rootbeer1053]

The Sahara update with Mum and Dad ❤ so sweet! Condolences to your friends.

[@rootbeer1053]

Did you Mum take her on a kiddie train ride?!! 😂 Ahh I love your Mum

[@auntienem]

Love you two together. You 2 should do a podcast!!! Tasting different stuff. You. An exchange packaged food in mail and try stuff from each others country? Idk you guys are fun together!!

[@aldepal]

21:30 are mangosteens easy to grow? What if you just tossed those seeds in the yard will they grow easily like bamboo??

[@DorezaHilario]

This is the kind of vlog where you sit and talk about life that I never want to miss. I like the way you speak, very articulate. I'm a fan since 2015 (from your main channel) 🙂 So happy for you...

[@joygarcia6128]

Aloha the last fruit called CAIMETO a lot of tropical fruits here Hawaii. Try taste we call it LOMBOY like grapes.

[@Lonesome__Dove]

Gosh! No wonder the conures like to be up high in the morning! Look at that beauty!

[@ascendingfires]

I am so very sorry to hear of your family member moving on. This is the time we are truly reminded of our loved ones' importance to us. Also, more videos where you are telling of and tasting foods that aren't as common to some viewers! Might be neat to add videos of these types of things from other areas, too, like Canada and the U.S.!!

[@radgepangilinan8588]

You should cut it crosswise to shownthe star formation of the seeds and its easier to scoop as well.

[@thomaseagles1026]

Condolences to Judy and Benjie, Mikey, now u got me thinking about T-bone steak for today and u would be very surprised at the price now and when u bought one here last so good luck on finishing the pool.🇨🇦

[@fayeildefonso]

You two have such passion on eating the fruits! I love it! These are all of my favorite fruits and I used to say I hate fruits. And because you tagged these as tropical fruits, I learned that I do love fruits. Just the tropical ones (seasonal) ones that you don't get everyday from a grocery store. I am mindblown! I do love fruits

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

I never used to like them, as well, but you know they are like nature's healthy candy!!!

[@mimij9988]

You and RJ have an amazingly BEAUTIFUL house! I LOVE it so much!😍🥰💚

A blessed morning Mikey and RJ, it's nice that Benji visited you,but it's sad that his mom passed away,may she rest in peace.I miss na the presence of your parents in your vlog and Sahara too, Mikey your right,we need to love,serve our parents and express that they are important to us.I love the last part of this vlog, when you and RJ sitting at the the poolside i can't wait to see that you have more bonding moments in your house,ingat kayo.Say hello to RJ he's so masipag and very hands on in every detail in everything he do, Godbless 🙏🌷🌻💖

Sorry to hear the sad news abt Judy’s mom. 🙏🌹I tried being a vegetarian for 6 mos & never again. To me meat is life. ♥️ watching the sunrise with you & the iguanas. Maybe you can name them Iggy & Zelia.😆 Mikey pls take extra care when walking so early in the AM. Kudos to RJ for all the continued work & added enhancements in the Mabuhay Squad Farm. 💖💖

[@maryannbootsong2412]

Virtual hug to Benji and Judy 🤗❤️🙏

You can eat star apple with a spoon so you won't feel the stickiness of its sap.

[@ay_cee_ay]

22:10 Tip for eating mangosteen: take of the green part of the mangosteen before you press it. Easier that way :) 😊 I love your house! Its so elegant and spacious.

[@leenatan2986]

You may take out the mangosteen's 'crown' first, then press it to open. And you can scoop the flesh of the star apple to eat. And like mangosteen, just press it to open. You too can scoop the flesh, mix w/some evaporated or condensed milk & put some ice. Instant ice cream! Oh! just miss my younger days in my late father's province 😩

[@jeandadiz419]

Subscriber now bec of Benjie.. I now love you Mickey! Mire power to your channel! You deserve it

[@Lonesome__Dove]

We are so blessed to have these Vlogs and get an inside view of your life and glimpses into your mind. Thanks for sharing Mikey!

[@allansevilla5640]

A bit of trivia, in the old days women used the sap of the star apple as glue to put on their eyelashes. My grandma used to tell me this story whenever we go to the province and eat star apple

[@royyapp9067]

In Jamaica when we have extra gas we do blow up beds I don't know if you do that in the we do that

[@Lonesome__Dove]

Mikey you're doing this life thing right. Keep going on this path yall have forged for yourselves. You're successful and now you're able to enjoy the fruits of your labor and that includes your family and friends. I hope to one day see you and RJ become parents, you'll be phenomenal parents!

[@jrodriguez4952]

Hi Mikey loving your circular spun chair in your theater room can I ask where you bought it thx a lot Love your channel

[@royyapp9067]

And if you want more fruit than you go to the market on Fridays and Saturdays there be a lot of fruits

[@sofialovelle]

I love your passion for fruits, I also love fruits

[@gerrimilner9448]

i love jack fruit, would rather faux lamb though, i have tryed most of these fruits and really like all of the ones ive tryed. there is a story about queen victoria(d.1901) wanting to try mangosteen and offering a large prize for anyone who could bring her one, unfortunatly they could not get them here fast enough and they rotted on the way, although fridges started being available from 1860, so wether she ever got one i dont know.

[@lmherrera]

If you cut the star apple horizontally (with the stem oriented on top), you'll ser why it's called a star apple

Going up in A bukid I love climbing star Apple tree for me the taste like Persimmon but more creamy

[@gracelasat-reyes7861]

[@TenLa05]

Omg when the water falls down - why can’t u have another small infinity down and the waterfall behind will look gorgeous -- instead of having wooden safety blocking view . Anyways i can’t wait to see the finish layout of your whole house - I don’t know how RJ does but hats off to his interior design skills .

[@Solskin60Tina]

After hearing you talk about this amazing fruit mangosteen, I have looked for it everywhere. I came a cross a can with it last week. So I ordered it and can wait to try it, better to have tried a can fruit than not at all 😊🤩
