[@nanitavares5516]

May God go with you and yours.

[@LadyMysti]

Almost close to catching up. My son has watched some on repeat. Take care uncle.

[@Michimama60]

Sorry for your loss Andy, but that was one funny story. You had me in tears. Hey, I have a request. Could you add "big body" to your pidgin word for the day. One of my haole friends wants a local take on it because it's different when he explains it to his friends in Illinois. Mahalo!!!

[@thumbstruck]

Only t'ing new is da audience. Good you keep da good memories.

[@namastezen3300]

I feel bad about Bart. The anecdote that you shared about the hot dog and auntie was priceless, did she lay off using violence as discipline? I loved hearing that the reporter was someone that you had helped by visiting their classroom and the idea that locals growing up with aloha and ho'oponopono have something that very few people ever learn otherwise. I'm convinced that that is what the world needs now. You are ideally situated to facilitate that. I don't want to burden you, just an observation. Thank you, Andy. Aloha

[@salmonkill7]

Very sorry Andy, Condolences about Bart! You are so right about mentally moving to the good!! We all a mix of bad and good, but let the goodness remain and let the bad fade away.... Aloha and Mahalo Andy!!

[@peejayboi4424]

Unko im sorry to hea of your hard times...my heart goes out to your ohana

[@bigislerebroker6800]

so sorry for your loss. there's a mainland saying; "All of Maine is a small town"- Hawaii got it beat in every way w/coconut wireless, from Eastside BI may he RIP.Condolences to all friends and family.

[@barbaraferreira2978]

I am so sorry for your loss, but what a great memory to help you through a difficult Time............I can just see the look on you Auntys face when she realized it was a hot dog..........Such a memory............And your conversation with the local girl.......I wish there were more kinds of girls like her instead of the titas that tend to clog the news..............Hawaiian values, where are they when you need them................Love you and good show

[@chrismiller6390]

Andy, my wife and I just viewed the story and are very sorry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. As an aside related to your story, my mom's family is Italian and some have the surname Zonna and some Zonno. Good news is that we are finally dug out of the 31 inches of snow.

[@claudiavasquez4401]

I really really related to your story about the adjustment to the mainland. I have never fit in or could “succeed” mainland style. i am considered weak. and if you are polite or nice you are considered slow or stupid. it is only when i lived in Hawaii that my nature was applauded. here in mainland it is ridiculed. My heart cries for you about Bart., so funny and joyful the old memories. as we age the leaves of our family tree fall gently to the ground. with gods grace we have new green leaves bud on our tree. all my aloha.

[@ChrisSlack]

Good story! Just read the news about your cousin and you're right, he didn't deserve to die like that. So sorry.

[@jacobsigrah542]

Hey,so sorry about your brother man but the story was you told was so funny.

[@brysenahquin3633]

In Waiʻanae a very nice family made me feel welcome, and I felt Ha'nai whane they kept me for Thanksgiving, and Christmas. From Maui, and could not be at Seabury Hall...where I boarded...Tavares Family... Mahalo, and for teaching me Aloha.

[@kimberlyusher4024]

You know..besides the lickins...was what...? I forget...OH PLAY! :P When did Bart move Big Island?...What part of the Island did he live? I want to understand.

[@jacobsigrah542]

Eh,Andy

[@Luftmensch067]

Sending aloha and prayers to you and your family, Andy. You are wise to have a good (and hilarious) memory to "go to" at a time like this. I appreciate how genuine these shows are -- you are giving us what you know and feel with honesty and personal conviction and that is what makes for real communication and connection, it cannot be faked. Looking forward to seeing the AP article!

[@Comet1808]

+Luftmensch067 I thought your message was so well written. Thank you for finding the words that are failing me today. the fact that Andy IS so genuine, that's what really makes this show. I can't imagine how difficult it was to do this taping, but he is a professional while still keeping it real and true. It's straight from the heart. Aloha to you for your kind words towards Andy. Mahalo.

[@Luftmensch067]

+Comet1808, mahalo to you!

[@Gypsyboy932]

So sorry for you loss brother. You're a good man.

[@davidstorch4080]

Sorry for your loss Andy. It's never easy. Stay strong and remember the good times.

[@amenodorime271]

I really miss the people in Hawaii with warm and kind hearted people.

[@mikedaspike8368]

Dis' would be funny if u had long hair like b4

[@surferpam1]

Yes, you have to "get past" the pain...but you *must* grieve. All my heart to you, Andy. I hope the grief passes quickly. The pain will recur periodically but let it just come and wash over you.

[@erinbolan7948]

MAHALO PLENTY!!!! KINDESS IS THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON IN DA WORLD!!! NOTHING WEAK ABOUT IT!!!!

[@yoitsli0n]

Not sure exactly what happend, Andy, but thank you for sharing the wonderful memory. You and yours are in my prayers.

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Noel Padilla I just added a link to the news story in the description.

[@yoitsli0n]

+Andy Bumatai I am terribly sorry for your tragic loss. May he rest in peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[@rubenvaldes7392]

I'm sorry for your loss, sir. When you told your story about your Aunt and cousin it had me laughing out loud. It is phenomenal that you have memories of the sort and that you were able to share during turbulent times. Thank you.

[@lychee2785]

So sorry to hear about your cousin. 🙏🌈🌺❤️

[@LeiMomiToo]

Oh, Andy, so sorry to hear about Bart. You are right -- it is important to remember the good times. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Remember, real life happens, and a lot of the time it isn't very funny. We don't expect you to have a light-hearted video during those times. We also appreciate the videos where you just tell us what's going on, too. Sending love to you and your family.

[@trizdizzle808]

+JT eDesigns - well said. agreed

[@waltbells1763]

Condolences to you and your family. We here on the mainland watch you everyday with anticipation. Your messages are fun and thoughtful. You mean so much to so many. "Aloha is alive!!!" You help remind us of this gift. Cheers.

[@kepaloha]

Hey Andy, It's okay to have a rough day, and thank you so much for sharing with us. I think that I can speak for your subscribers, that we like to think that we are part of your family and we have your back and are hear for you if you need to vent or share. We Love ya! Thank you again, Much Aloha to you and yours...

[@mosaicsoundrecordings8471]

Good memories about your cousin. Those will always be with you. Hang in there braddah.

[@bjbarbiyoung5346]

We're Main Landers (AZ/CA) who just moved here from Hong Kong. We love, love, love watching your videos. You are teaching us a lot about island culture & giving us an insider's perspective. There are a lot of people in need in this tropical paradise, it helps us to understand some, and perhaps we may be able to reach out and help those in need. So sorry about Bart. How it pains me, to know how your family has suffered. I pray that the truth would come out, and justice would be served. You are a fun loving man, who handled your cousin's darkest moment revealed with somber grace and wit. Praying for strength as Kimo & you pal around together. Food is your medicine-bon appetit!

[@pwhitty742]

Sorry about your bad day. I think one of the things that people like about you and the show is that you share your life in a genuine way. What's "guaran ball bearings?"

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+Pat Whitty (MotoMeditations) Mahalo Pat. Garan Ball Bearin Means "Guaranteed with the strength of a ball bearing." Itʻs from when we were kids and used to play marbles and a ball bearing assured success.

[@pwhitty742]

I thought that's what it meant. Didn't get the marble connection though.Have you ever thought of doing a show about Pidgin in corporate America? They have their own language you know. They never "use" something. They "leverage" it. They never "contact" anyone. They "reach out." Instead of "detail" they use "granular." And on and on. It would be hilarious to see your character pitching the next killer app to room full of uptight corporate executives. Garan Ball Bearins it would be a hit.

[@badtuna73]

Mahalo, Andy for sharing da funny stories in the video. But most importantly, I'm very sorry to hear about your lost. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your ohana.

[@Purrowler]

thinking of you, hang in there /huggles

[@jodiphillips2186]

It is good to remember the fun, happy times. Also remember there is a season for everything. Honor what you feel. Mahalo for sharing the story-made me think of funny story with my cousin.

[@richardsuess9859]

Our prayers go out to you. Everyone goes through things in life, and it nice to see people get your back. Thanks for the daily pidgin, it puts a smiles on all of our faces!

[@collettekingrey2416]

Thanks for sharing from the heart...may you find much comfort from your Daily Pidgin Fans and Family.

[@lasilveira805]

[@hsegawa1]

[@rlgroshans]

[@hollisterlindley8864]

So sorry for your loss but you got right idea. Remember the good times.

[@MH-yz1gm]

such a funny story to remember, Andy! made me laugh out loud...reminded me of an auntie or two of mine from here in Texas when i was growing up..different ethnicity, same situations; life is good!!!......be strong...mahalo.....

[@glennsak]

Japanese-American culture have "enryo" - "You go first," or "You have the last piece of pie" and that isn't always the best way to deal with an American culture which can be more competitive. Also, very sorry to hear about your cousin.

[@mrsalsalvador]
