When Things Go Very Very Wrong in the Philippines/Newbies Dumb and Dumber

[@lifeflation]

These guys are terrific. Other KZbinr put them down about his niece yada yada. Very entertaining

[@marianvoicu1731]

They are the best👍👍🍻🍻

[@BillyTimes-dw7vs]

I'm with you man these guys are hilarious 🤣

[@garylagera7584]

Hey Fellow Crazies out there. I know this video is past history now but I've just viewed it probably for the 2nd or 3rd time and I come away with new thoughts. Yes these guys are authentic and making good use of their time as far as I'm concerned. I spent 10 mos. there and since have riddened myself of the nightmare I found myself in. I did go back to the states just to finalize immigration. retirement issues and other formalities that could be resolved more expediently there then in the PI. By getting my butt far away from unscrupulous PI inlaws, I kept myself safe and out of jail. No telling what these family members could have accomplished ( harm) if I stayed. By watching and listening to these guys hash out their experiences has been very enlightening and informative as well as entertaining. I will put out a ALERT to all you newbies- be aware of the guys who post " the untold story or the exposing of this vlogger or that vlogger"! In my opinion they are just wannabees of the guys that they PUT DOWN! They are jealous and just trying to steal viewers and grow their own channels. Also beware of these guys who give pointers on how to have a good time and exploit the women of S.E. Asia. These guys especially are lovers from wherever they came from or hiding from. They are commonly known as The Pas%&ort Bros. Just be cognizant that you guys are preying on someone's sister or daughter or the like. To all out there come on in - the waters fine!

[@garylagera7584]

Yeah, these guys are just trying to latch onto the successful vloggers followers. They're jealous and if you waste your time by watching their vids you'll notice that they lack in personality and humor. Borrring

[@chrissyfish6707]

I’m a woman in the states !!!!! You guys all look sooooo happy !!!!! And stress free !!!!! Living the American dream in the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Congratulations!!!!!

[@catzcatcher9772]

Why don't you go and join them? Be a Passport Girl!!!

[@markdittbenner9949]

It's not stress free anywhere don't get fooled they like it there because the young girls trapped in poverty are willing to be there nanny.. just give it to you straight...

[@Cowboysfan4ever]

It’s refreshing to hear an American woman who understands that it is the guys prerogative to choose where they live and who the live with. You should consider going to the PI also. I’m out of here at the end of March

[@YouGotHousesWeGotMahomes]

​@@markdittbenner9949 the Philippines is a great country. No sense in you generalizing and pigeon holing it.

[@JerryC423]

​@@YouGotHousesWeGotMahomesMark is a penis watcher, he likes to do that.

[@dennisraible4177]

I’m lying in bed recovering from surgery and watching this has distracted me from the pain. Thanks!!!

[@almabelhumeur6672]

You better watch your stitches or staples don't open up after listening to these guys...lol!

[@chrism4008]

Hope you heal up fast!

[@happycook6737]

Hope you get well soon!

[@domenicv7962]

Better to sleep. Nothing to see here

[@Maintenance63]

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I'm building a fence and listening to these guys. It keeps me in a pleasant mood.

[@donjennings2975]

Lol, I looked at the length of this video before I watched it and thought I'd give it a few minutes. Started watching it and all of a sudden it was over. You three should take this show on the road. Thanks for the laughs !!!

[@nklosangeles2886]

I love this conversational video. Please do more of this 🙏

[@HEILtotheconDON]

Thank you guys for the entertaining video and you good heartedness

[@jeh1333]

I am only 10 minutes into this video and so far it is comedy gold! 😂 😂 😂

[@theaverageman5244]

Paul, one of your best posts. I encourage more. I like the banter and topics. The idea of supplying the kids with helmets is awesome. I highly encourage that. One thing you should know is that PI law requires the driver to wear a helmet, not the passengers. I actually got pulled over in El Nido in December 2022 because I had my fiance's teenage girl on the bike with me with her mother in front on her own scooter and they wanted to give me a ticket because she was wearing a helmet, but I was not. I explained that it's the opposite in the US, the passenger must wear a helmet, and it's optional for the driver to wear one. I would always wear one, but I have a large head and couldn't find one. Thank goodness my fiancee is beautiful and well-versed in persuasion. The Philippines is awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

I really appreciate that! thanks a lot for watching the video.

[@davemay71]

Please do more of these type of conversations...this is real entertainment on a lazy Sunday afternoon

[@Gonefisin]

Obviously you don't reside in the Philippines.

[@-goldfinger2695]

​@@Gonefisin Shame how some expats come here and bring their hate and negativity with them . Like you 😢

[@JohnnyMag-pi]

Just got done doing yard work equal to 12,000 steps, a lot for me, totally exhausted but this episode has me laughing crying. Took the edge off my fatigue. Thank you! 😂

[@chucksmash1]

Thanks for the great video Paul! It was one of the most frank and honest conversations I've heard in a long while. Definitely do more of that in the future if you can. Thanks again.

[@DeeCebu]

The 3 amigos . Seriously you all are entertaining, funny, laughing here with you. Your chemistry is amazing. 50 minutes is short. I can watch you 3 everyday.

[@alanhoffman-balmer]

You're very likeable Paul. Think you've found your calling with this life, and doing KZbin. Truly wish you the best, many more years of happiness and health 🍻

[@vinces.3860]

Great video Paul. I really enjoyed the candidness and the "raw" quality, with no holds barred. Exactly what I am looking forward to; just hanging out and shooting the sh*t.

[@azurepink5737]

Loved the chat, guys.

[@CarmiloSuzara-uw1xp]

Hi guys just saw your video and hearing you planning to buy Helmets for kids who are riding motorbikes it warms my heart to hear that from you guys and I would like to extend my heart felt thanks for your plans to help out THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@bradleychalenger]

Great video guy's ❤ really enjoyed your chat, thank you from the UK.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thekormans3582]

This is entertaining. My Canadian hubby is impatient but when he arrives in the Philippines, he became patient. :) and he loves Philippines a lot and we are building a small 2 story house by the beach in Bohol. We come home every September for a month.

[@wil4596]

ran across this video today, and so relaxing and entertaining to watch you guys.

[@jayhawkins4045]

Luv these kind of stories😁

[@davediaz5447]

TWO WORDS: This is a" game changer" for 'any" expat. Paul this has to be the best of the best. You may have started a niche in terms of the " blue book " like the automobile purchase in making the move over seas. Very informative from A-Z. Goldfinger! I'm in on the child helmet campaign. Give us details where to find you. Thx again Paul for great content.

[@GregoryPunzo]

I enjoy these video podcast like episodes. Mixing up the guests and topics for like a once a week regular series would be pretty awesome.

[@rickylee6129]

AGREED 👍 👍 😊

[@allen9129]

Hey Paul, You really need to do other vids like this. Its cool to hear the stories

[@stevekneir316]

Excellent job! This is the sort of thing I have been missing in all your vids, just hanging out and shooting the breeze with your buddies'. You learn so much just by the comical stories they share and sitting here drinking coffee alone with the temp outside at 25 degrees, sure makes me want to go back, like right now!

[@billslaven28]

Funnnnnnny!!!! I loved the format!

[@sanderbyers2925]

Really like that idea of Goldfinger providing helmets for children. I think others will support your idea, and the concept will grow. Sprinkling that spiritual love, making a difference, and saving lives.

[@eddiebrown9590]

WOW,,, Best vid you ever did, DONT worry about the length, anyone whos really interested in Phili or your experiences there will like me love evey minute of it... I am still in Aus, but own a place in Jagna Bohol scamedemenic screwed all my plans, but slowly getting back on track..

[@brianleonard6885]

Good Paul 👍!!!! No problem with what someone is, and we should all respect each other.....

[@nutleypo]

Hi Paul, It was very entertaining watching this discussion between you guys. Please do more of these.

[@randyguidry4958]

Paul, thanks for this vlog. I've been really down for a couple of weeks and I needed the chuckle! God bless

[@Dayofthetriffids]

Loved the format and the guests just shooting the breeze. More like this would be so welcome but choose your buddies carefully! Loved the way you steered through censored topics. Well done on the facilitation!

[@ohwell22]

This is the best, funniest video ever done by you Paul. More series to come please, on you, Goldfinger, and Steve (if I got it right). Enjoy life in Philippines, you all. I am here in Texas, envious of your carefree life there.

[@therealityofit]

The Great State of Texas 😊

[@TinWhistleTV]

I love your videos of the conversations you have with people, these videos are brilliant.

[@tilapiadave3234]

"You have to have patience" ,,, you guys hit the nail on the head with that . Patience ABSOLUTELY needed ,, my plan to move to Philippines became a 4 year plan as I figured it would take me 4 years to build sufficient patience so I didn't want to strangle the residents of the country I wanted to live in :)

[@zachfern3190]

If you think the natives of the country that YOU want to move to are TOO STUPID for YOU then stay in your own country.

[@garylagera7584]

Don't wait too long ... there's no promise of tomorrow. Just shed your Western Mentality and Aggression and you'll be fine. No need to wear a Mask here!

[@miguelc.819]

This was great, Paul, you should post more of these with different expats...🤣🤣

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Glad you liked it Miguel! thank you so much for watching the video.

[@stevesmith1127]

I like this Paul! You should do more of this type a chatting with guy's like this :)

[@chzinch]

I think the camaraderie that you guys have, in addition to the lack of stress, will help you have a long life.

[@mrdukegsd300]

Hi Paul I am a longtime friend of bud Brown. i’ve been watching your channel ever since you started. This is a great KZbin video. I love it I live in the US unfortunately for now retiring and moving to the Philippines in four years. I hope we can have coffee keep up the good videos & God bless🙏😇

[@lizpan6157]

Great conversation video, and a good diversion than the usual. You all are the epitome of the quintessential retired life in bliss. Surrounded with good friends, good vibes, healthy in the way of mind, body, spirit. White sand beaches and water falls are added bonuses, let alone the pinays! Enjoy Paul and buddies!

[@dr.tobiasgoodfellow5174]

Stupid woman. Do you condone these old perverts cajoling with girls who are young enough to be their granddaughters? Stop praising these dogs for taking advantage of these poor girls.

[@peterpangelinan9221]

Welcome to Philippines !!!

[@garylagera7584]

Like Nike says " Just Do It"... And as Old Dog says " recognize, adapt and ( if you have common sense) ACCEPT! Somebody should write that down... got a pen? Best intro to the PI! Should be at the PI Airports where it says WELCOME to The Philippines.

[@johnconstantinelegaspi2790]

As a Filipino, I appreciate all the good things you said about our people. And thanks for the helmet project, some parents doesn't have the money to buy the kids their own helmet or they are just simply irresponsible. Enjoy your retirement here. ❤

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

We really appreciate that John! Wish you all the best. thanks a lot for watching the video.

[@garylagera7584]

Why they don't have helmets for their children may be due to financ I al reason but I also just think they lack in parental knowledge and just common sense! Their parents were aloof so a apple doesn't fall to far away from the tree.

[@lifejourney5235]

Glad to hear that some of foreigners back home in Philippines are actually have a good time of their retirement-life ... surely they embrace and embroide to their heart by learning how to adjust-adapt -love their surroundings and the people around them . Not like some we heard but completelycomplaints about almost everything. . Wish all the good good time to three of you .

[@gordonsmith9369]

Haha...good joke at the end! Love the channel btw. Cheers

[@todd7756]

Paul, that was fun...do this format some more...maybe weekly.

[@kevinkellogg6874]

All three of you have good hearts. I enjoy learning this way. They are definitely newbies. I hope they manage to stash a portion of their income some place nice and safe, just so you don't set yourself up. I can't tell you how many times I had to look back and kick myself in the a** because all of the signs were right in front of me. But I was born a geek and given a choice between a nomal answer or a out of left field answer, I went for the gusto! As for the helmets, what would the children do with the helmets once they got to school? They wouldn't want to mix them up. The way we solved this in the U.S. was school buses. It's a scary thought when you consider some of these roads. I wish the best to all of you.

[@DaveS1969]

this is the stuff i miss men just sittin around bullshitting laughing and having fun i cannot wait to be there in Feb

[@geoffbeckett6678]

One of your best videos! Great to hear the everyday banter between mature adult men. I can definitely identify. Need more of that. Of courses, you can't go wrong with Goldfinger! Lol!

[@Camera1931-p5v]

Great video! Nice to see people trying to help others! Giving is good for the soul!

[@mikemcquinn6738]

Great get together!!! Enjoyed this type of video.

[@kevink1214]

Love this format and the length of the video was perfect. Cutting it down to 20 mins would miss a lot of good information. Good job guys!!!

[@kendallhclement]

This was awesome!

[@stephanegosselin2861]

Interesting video as always! Salamat Paul & friends

[@ClubFred6]

Ive been enjoying your videos - great stuff! :)

[@agris68]

So Nice To See 3 Very Happy Men! Very Inspiring , Thanks For The Video.

[@kn-qz7by]

That was a fun, funny and informative video!

[@kn-qz7by]

Like Paul, these men have shown their generosity and concern for others in their own ways, one by paying the bar tab of a guy who had one too many drinks, the other by his plan to help parents get motorcycle helmets for their kids. God bless, guys!

[@darincrawford]

When I saw it say 50 min I figured that was too long to watch but when I clicked on it I realized it was almost over so quick. Very entertaining and informative. Thanks. Keep up the great work!! Hopefully soon I will be meeting you guys. I would pay the 15k per month to help out with the 50k rent (probably temporary) until I get settled lol

[@FULMORED]

This was the most funniest and greatest video of all times. I loved this it was very uplifting.

[@steveperyer4850]

What a great series of funny stories, and great conversation, Paul and friends. I got a kick out of shaving my facial hair, and then the ladyboy issues! 😅. It just goes to show you you just never know what to expect in the Philippines. Great entertainment 😊

[@mikekeeler6278]

Best video ever! Speaking of the economy, I was stationed on Mactan Island in the sixties when the exchange rate was 4 to 1, but a beer was 25 centavos.

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

I really like this "open chat" format & hope to see more of them with these guys & others. You've added Dumaguete to my list of places to visit, in addition to Cebu & Bohol, when I make my first visit (for 3 months) to the Philippines in 2024 when I retire. You guys are so humorous with Goldfinger's "player" persona getting all the hot Filipinas while the other guy was only attracting the ladyboys until he got some good advice from the expats. I'm also making a note to bring my cane. I rarely need it unless I twist my knee or something but it could be useful to take it with me to the grocery store to use the shorter "handicap" line. Since I'm already 63 years old, it won't look too surprising.

[@anniesoucek8216]

Philippines is to die for.

[@garylagera7584]

They do make portable or retractable pocket size canes for when you need to stand in a line! Ha ha just joking! 😅

[@eddieslittlestack7919]

Paul, I really enjoyed this. You should do this kind of video again every so often.

[@lunchbox6576]

Create a helmet library, use the helmet and when the kid out grows it. Turn it back in for someone else to use.

[@johntyrrell3191]

Love the helmet idea. Maybe if the kids pick up a bag of trash in exchange for a helmet??? Or, good report cards from school?? This past Christmas my whole family flew to the PI for Christmas where I spent $200 dollars on food for food baskets. Wife and her sisters bought all of the food together while I BBQ'd dinner. My sister-in-law and boyfriend is a teacher and identified 50 kids from their school who live in the squatter areas. She worked through the local Barangay captain and gave out 50 tickets to these children. Then 2 days before Christmas my 3 nephews and 4 adult daughters all spent the night together putting together these 50 food baskets. The next day we handed them out for Christmas at the local Barangay office. No ticket, no basket. Best Christmas we have ever had! I had to wear sunglasses because of my tears of appreciation of my family being together in the spirit of Christmas.

[@garylagera7584]

They sing "Joy to the World "... I say Joy to you and yours for your compassion and kindness. Kudos

[@David-vh7ef]

This has been one the funniest expat story I've ever seen...thanks for putting it out there Paul 🤣🤣🤣

The helmet program idea is really freakin cool, i hope we can get a follow up on it one day Another excellent video Paul, and environment is really great too!

[@uBenji1234]

[@michaelbelnap6112]

Nice group of guys Paul. The stories and experiences are funny. Looking forward to get back in Dumaguete first of April. Last time I was there the why not didn’t seem like a great place to hang out. Very popular for all the wrong reasons. Hopefully we’ll meet one day when I’m in town. Take care, Paul.

[@Soleful_Char]

Have been tossing around the idea of visiting the Phils. I really enjoy your vids Paul. 🙏

[@Rogerla62]

I am looking forward to my retirement in General Santos. The attitude of the Filipino people and the slower lifestyle is what I enjoy. My younger Filipino husband and I will be coming back to the states for him to work in nursing and for us to visit my family here, so I think it will be a good balance for us.

[@mikebest1343]

Hey Paul it's Mike New York... Want you to know that I just watched your video and I love it it's the most hilarious and funniest video I've seen you make.. Really enjoyed it Looking forward to coming to the Philippines hopefully we can get to meet... You definitely get a five thumbs up for me..👍👍👍👍👍

[@royjenkins9681]

The motorcycle helmet chat is so relevant to me. I kept nagging my neighbour to wear a helmet, l bought helmets for him and his family. He then started wearing a helmet. The next day an out of control SUV nocked him flying as he turned into his driveway. l saw him spinning in the air like a helicopter rotor. Luckily no serious injury but his helmet was split from top to bottom. The Police who attended said that if he had not worn it, he would have been killed. So, Goldfinger, you have a great idea. God Bless you.

[@-goldfinger2695]

Thankyou It's been a hassle to get free helmets approved here. But in the end , it will be a wonderful idea for all expats to endorse .. Hopefully we can start the program before June this year ... I'll give an update next month

[@NatGagui]

Man, this is a fun conversation,informative and darn beneficial for those individuals asking why there is a lot of individuals wanting to moves to Philippines, it is not just for finding a girl but health beneficial too.I think i can benefits by moving back to P.I sooner to bring down the numero uno killer of every American..."Stress". Thanks Paul.

[@Brian-rx7lm]

Gentlemen, you make my day! And at the end of this I was so impressed with this gentleman and his idea about the motorcycle helmets my very first trip and my very first day in the Philippines I had a motorcycle clip my car in Manila and it scared the hell out of me that he could have possibly been hurt fortunately he wasn't seriously injured at all you are the type of expats that give expats a good name! I have a few years before I become one, but when I do I want to live up to this man's example

[@Expat_in_Moises_Padilla]

Awesome video guys “Real Talk”

[@troymoses8405]

Excellent video of three guys cutting up, really enjoy the chat and BS.

[@danstropicalquest]

Great chat, loved the stories. To give the helmets away maybe you could get together with the Filipina that has a channel where she goes out and cleans beaches. Have it where kids and at least one of their parents sign up and help clean a beach will get a helmet. That way they put value in the helmet they worked for and also see the value in keeping nature clean.

[@garylagera7584]

GREAT IDEA ... get the locals involved and give them a sense of responsibility to take pride in their land / home. I see locals throwing trash at will everywhere. I'm a smoker but I always save my cig. butt in my pocket - never litter. My wife co.pkains that I will stink up my pants- My simple reply is who's going to put their nose that close to my pockets ANYWAY !?
