I always grew up calling the monster roaches b52 instead of 747 😂

[@crestfallenraven]

Truly you are brilliant !!! As a new haole to the sacred Garden Isle, your advice and videos are deeply helpful. Mahalo Uncle. Blessings always.

[@dukeni646]

My 747 story. Our first trip to Oahu was a working vacation, my wife worked while I was on vacation. The real estate agent made a big deal about the condo we rented being on the 9th hole of the Turtle Bay golf course, I could care less about golf, I just wanted to check the surf and eat all the local food I could. One night going for a midnight snack I came across a 747, I caught him in a plastic cup and put him in the garbage disposal turned it on and let it run. When I turned it off the Bugga came crawling out walking across the counter like he had to much to drink. I caught him again, walked out to the 9th hole and set him free. I figured if he lived through that he deserved to live. Your show is great keep up the good work.

[@dyamada47]

I miss Hawaii, but thanks to Andy Bumatai I feel like I am home again. Funny man!!

[@michaelinagoodwin6104]

[@ambrosif]

LOVED IT!! Eh, I gotta say, I normally watch your show first thing every morning, but I missed yesterday's and only start watching today's, at 5pm. What I'm getting at is, The Daily Pidgin is always an excellent show, but I especially enjoy it when life gets a bit nuts... it's soooo nice to relax, watch The Daily Pidgin, laugh and feel good all over again. I greatly appreciate all the time and effort you put into TWO shows now!! :D MAHALO for all da ALOHA you bring into the world!!

[@kg5999]

The switch to SAE is fascinating, because when compared with Pidgin it's so clearly its own language. Kama'aina through and through, and I don't really notice it when others speak Pidgin because I'm so used to it. Thank you for these videos.

[@mikeymacaque]

The 747s are called Palmettos here in Florida. Bastards are bigger than most mammals around here.

[@albdamned577]

lol I ordered Spam Musubi today from a sushi restaurant that is owned by someone from Hawaii. The gal looked at me like I was crazy until she asked the chef.

[@JoeBlow-vx5po]

Coco puffs also means something else in LA, 420 + coco.

[@onipaagardens]

oh yes - long johns - Kaimuki bakery 9th and waialae - nobody makes pastry like they used to. Their butter rolls - oh man! Also Andy, we called 747's, B52s back in my day. 747s weren't around yet! you're so funny! keep it up !

I first saw Andy perform at pearl city high school in one of the quads.

[@nuikuitui]

must be diff dialect in diff towns because in Kahuku when you say "what like bang" or "you like bang" or "I like bang" it's referring to wrestling in bed... different kine fight...lol

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+nuikuitui "Bang" for fight is fairly new. Bang for other things is more generational than it is geographical.

[@cliffworks748]

luvin it Andy, keep em coming, this is haole Cliff in Tokyo, grew up Gardena 60-70's playing guitar with Dutch Kinimaka, Hawaiian celebs used to hang our lounge sit in Nephi, Dick Jenson, Lil' Albert was down the street.

[@namastezen3300]

Great insights and tips. Funny. Aloha, Andy

[@Rattielicious]

"only one natural enemy...the rubber slipper!" hahaha Sounds like 747 is as 'loved' as huntsman are....thank goodness those ugly buggas can't fly! lol

[@AIRSOFTMMASKATEBEAST]

I mean they're pretty nasty, but I'd definitely rather have a 747 than a huntsman...

[@victoriabaker4400]

@@AIRSOFTMMASKATEBEAST At least huntsman spiders do good work, and I don't think they bite humans, do they? Roaches are just parasites, imo.

[@tracyalamodeHI]

The other meaning of “poke” was not mentioned Lol

[@eliseerickson5994]

His American accent is so good haha

[@olderthanyoucali8512]

That's because he is American. A Philippino Hawaiian german American from the islands.

[@marquee6]

You got me at Spam! I love it as well as Long Johns.

[@DouglasSholts]

Andy, Thankyou so much for doing this ... I realize you probably will never see this, but I just have to say that after being married to a Big Island girl for more than 36 years now ... I kinda feel like a "Local Haole" ... and thankyou for being patient with folks from Wisconsin, Haole's like me ... and helping us to understand the actual love people from Hawaii have, and what a gift Hawaii ... it's people ... and it's culture ... are to the nation and to the world. I was blessed to be called Kauilani from my wife's grandmother, as she assessed me during our only meeting. I hope folks will come to appreciate Hawaii and it's people, as I have over the years. Thankyou again for your patience with the younger folks. Please continue to impart your knowledge, and experience, to all of us ... in our incredible journey together. Uncle Doug

[@AndyBumataiShow]

Mahalo for your kind post Douglas. So glad you enjoyed the video. I have a bunch of stuff on KZbin.com/AndyBumataiShow that's more recent and what I've been doing lately. Plus, I often "go live" and chat. Maybe I'll see you in the stream. Aloha, Andy

Aloha Unko! Mahalo fo da tourist kine tips. I work with our first responders as well as just when see da tourists doing stupid kine stuff such as...just cuz u see local kids rushing shore breaks at Sandy's, no mean u going try swim. how's about cliff/rock jumping Waimea Bay, spitting caves, ice ponds in the mountains? Go to the shoreline to watch big waves then get swept out. Go hiking & get off trail, go bushwhacking, ignore flash flood warnings, bust up & disrespect trail. au'we! NO OPALA! cig butts is opala. u go some place, leave it better than u found it. always offer to help clean up, do something after being hosted. everyone pitch in, even da keiki. here's a good one, one day swimming Hanauma Bay when civil defense sirens went off (all locals know day & time every month that siren blast) I bust laughing cuz everyone/tourists froze & was ready for dig. lol what a sight! one more...no go picking flowers, fruits, anything without asking permission. just as with spam, no say bad kine stuff about our food, especially poi. Always come with Aloha & respect, cuz das what u goin get, plenty Aloha \m/

[@LeiMomiToo]

First saw a 747 when I moved to Maui in '74... in my little apartment in Kihei. My first night there I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water and out of the corner of my eye I saw these huge 4 inch feelers twitching on the top of a cabinet. I thought it was some freaky space alien they were so big. I remember screaming, "HOLY CRAP!" or something similar and dashing for the front door where I had left my slipper. Must have been local instinct kicking in. Next thing I knew, the damn thing was dive bombing me, flying right at me with its 8 inch wingspan... I screamed and dove for cover. It landed on a lamp and I ended up whacking it with a slipper, almost breaking the lamp and shade in the process. I didn't weigh it after I killed it, but I bet the buggah weighed 5 pounds. OK, slight exaggeration there, but it was huge. I joked with the landlord the next day that he should cut my rent in half because for a short period of time I had a roommate almost as big as I was. He just smiled and said, "welcome to Hawaii."

[@trizdizzle808]

[@kyleesmith9705]

Hey Andy! A little mainland history on that "poke" joke of yours. So back in the Wild West, starting just after the Civil War, a "poke" wasn't just a finger boop. It often doubled as an innuendo, as in you pay a nice lady and she takes into the back room for a 'sweet ride'. So hearing you make that poke joke "a poke for 10$" had me choking.😂😂

[@olderthanyoucali8512]

Where can I find where you've gotten your information concerning "poke". I hope not from a Hollywood writer.

[@victoriabaker4400]

@@olderthanyoucali8512 It's well known slang-- check a dictionary

[@Threewolfs-]

Everybody here using curbside pickup for there groceries (whole trunk load) somethings substitute stores don’t have. So I try other day, I go pickup, guy come out check with me on order, he ask “you get texts about any substitute” I tell him “no”, just order some “spam” he laugh and said, no we got plenty of that, be right back. He come back with my two bags of spam. Was a good day, no run out spam, got my supply. 😄🤣😂🤙🏼❤️🤠
