[@alohauniversal5083]

Omg! I didn't grow up here, yet I related to all. Star Market, the old stadium... what are the young ones going to use for directions if no can use their phones? (Mahalo nui for such a wonderful show!)

[@maewing1105]

When the sun go down I feel like I gotta water somethin! LOL

[@namastezen3300]

I was visiting a friend in Hilo and changed out of my wet shorts into a dry pair, behind the car door (where people might guess what I was doing, but could not see anything). Needless to say, I was confronted by a young man who was unhappy with me, despite my apologies and staying away from him. His entire demeanor changed when my friend intervened, "oh, uncle Jerry." (Worried look on his face. glance to me) "I did not know it was you." Mahalo, Andy. You bring the islands to us. Aloha

[@albdamned577]

damn I remember them shooting the elephant. I must have been like 7.

[@dennistabbal7137]

You know Tutu Rose on your Grandpa Akeo side cousin so and so's mother's brother the one living down in Kahaluu. You know the house with the river in the back?" So funny!!!

[@c_honda]

[@thomasalton9940]

Tanks for da memories. Used to love going Termite Palace for Islanders games listening to Guido Salmagi sing da National Anthem, an da guy in da crowd who always yelled "there goes the ball game". Everyone said if the termites quit holding hands the place wen fall down. Good times.

[@surferpam1]

Uncle Andy... I love your old school style.

[@luomacey]

[@LoanSchool]

Needed extra napkins today Andy to wipe them funny tears. Too funny and so true.

[@michaelplowman876]

[@KauaiSis]

*LOL* Sooo funny!! Hey speaking of businesses that are gone, I worked for 9 different businesses and 8 of them are GONE, such as Star, Woolworth's, McInerny, Libety House, Penney's, Davenroy Drycleaners. The 9th employer was the US Post Office and they might be next!

[@flyonthe1stwall]

Dude you are friggin hilarious. Thank you. An man you are making me home sick

[@stoneawong]

LMAO. You crack me up, I gotta pick myself off the floor....LOL!!!

[@AngloFrancoDane]

I loved the directions based on places not there anymore. Happens all the time.

[@cherish8821]

[@alohauniversal3896]

😂🤣

[@dolbyderringer2225]

Irresistible urge fo watah someting 😂😂😂

[@elizabethseal8641]

Made me laugh about watering something. I remember the stadium lived close enough could hear them cheering. But for the directions for Star Market was the best. When I was there visiting my sister I was totally lost where places were even Star Market. But now I know where it is with your directions. Thanks

[@mimicry88]

Wow its Andy Bumatai!! I mustve seen your Showtime standup special with Pat Morita a zillion times. I beat Anorexia. Iran fights Iraq over one letter. Great stuff!

[@AndyBumataiShow]

[@lasilveira805]

Omg. My kids would get cracks if they acted like that to uncle...I'm so blessed I raised my sons to show respect to anyone! They are so polite and respectful. I'm so proud of the young men they become! If not bumbai they learn 👊🤣

[@buffbuggah4711]

Dis eppasode wuz rite on da butten!!! Aloha!!! 🤙🤙🤙

[@Anuheaikauatuahine]

Even ova hea get da same kine ting; used to be Oregonians all polite, let u into traffic, no rush, no worry. Now get plenny transplants and dey wen bring all dea shove/rush/entitlement action. No let peepo into traffic, try get ahead by passing on da right, etc.. Some wāhine get so hūhū jass cuz some nice guy like u stay open da door foa dem. So is sometimes hard foa be local even hea on da mainland.

[@dcabreros6494]

This one wen crack me up. When I first came to Afghanistan I had to stop giving directions using mauka/makai and Ewa/Diamond Head. I actually had to figure out north south east west. Even den, trying to tell military people fob from the mainland wea Ewa was, was a chore.

[@shelbijoy]

OMG I laughing so hard. Taught was just one Kauai ting. I neva realize dis how dey geev direction in odda islands too. I like snap sometimes. Start out nice n calm an den I gotta draw one map cause dey don't know wat used to be. ☺️

[@hualani6785]

Oh Mahalo Andy! You could hear me laughing at the end of the Street for 7 1/2 Minutes! (you know where I mean,heh?). The beauty of getting older in Hawaii-nei, you cannot go anywhere without seeing ppl you know. I laugh to myself an nobody knows why when malahini asks for directions, (because I have to catch myself every dang time to wonder if the landmarks changed). I really enjoy your program-nice to start the day with a laugh.

[@jameskawaikaupejrcwo3usmcr573]

Hey Andy, you so funny it’s umbelivable. When I was younger I had no problems with attitude folks. Now that I’m little younger than before I have a big attitude to lolo’s that just don’t get it. I’ve been away from home for the last 26 years in Cali and the Buggas just don’t understand why Hawaii have a 14 day restriction or betta yet no wear mask. Thanks Brah. Mahalo

[@curtiskeli-parker5804]

Da nice guy wit da wack job side sound just like me lol. Even da guy who gives old school directions lol. "Ehh you know wea da okazu place on California ave. in wahiawa?......oh my bad I foget da ting no stay." Lol. Anyway tank you uncle Andy for da laughs every morning.

[@vincentshaw8442]

ho Uncle Andy I get the local or portugese thing where you come my house I ask "eh you like eat, I get food" bra stay weird in Oregon LOL

[@bradmcminn]

Andy, hows it? You know, can listen da pigeon show on da radio when going to work? Yea can do. I hookem up with my iPhone to the Bluetooth in my car. Can listen, no need see you face. Maybe you want to take to radio station, make a little money.

[@irishkitty7257]

You are so right! I’m going through the mind remembers but the body forgot. I still think I can scrap or beef with young guys and I’m 66. Especially out in the water.

[@kshinokevin]

"Moke Action" t-shirt. Wow... (that was one mean story: the post office one) Lau Lau...

[@RonInNapa]

I gotta friend who always starts with "do you know so and so?" Then he would do that same thing. Then one day I said yes. He stops and says "Oh. How you know him?" Holy! Takes forever to tell a story.

[@alohauniversal3896]

Forevah !

[@miafamily8696]

On the mainland the snap case is a daily struggle LOL.

[@prunoesko5470]

I neva fo no I git one accent till I move ova hea.

[@rawbertdogler]

i love this show, and the theme song reminds me of cheech's voice from cheech and chong lol

[@janetreid9955]

You’re not really “local” until you start giving directions by where something used.to be 😁

[@bkproductions3569]

“Locals” are different now. You donʻt have to have roots to be considered local. Many mainlanders whoʻs kids are born and raised in Hawaii who live in upper middle class to priviledged communties consider themselves “local” Thereʻs got to be a new way to distinguish the difference. Is there an episode covering this?

[@alohauniversal3896]

Interesting point! Culturally so different… no more Spam….

[@drygordspellweaver8761]

Now even Star Market is a landmark that doesnt exist!

[@alohauniversal3896]

😢 Missing it !

[@drygordspellweaver8761]

[@deborahmerritt4094]

I grew up from 3 years in Kuli’ou’ou, with the Kalizar, Costa, Pacheco, Lum and Pung families. I was more local than haole by the time I went to kindergarten. Being haole at UH Lab School was not bad, all my friends were local and we never really thought about ethnicities, at least I didn’t. I went mainland for college, Catholic girls school and I was Episcopal (another story), as a haole up there they wanted me to act like them. No way, they were all strange! Luckily there were a few local girls up there to hang out with. Funny the native Hawaiians never got the same treatment I got, with white skin. I came home and have been back attending UH, living in Manoa and now working at UH Manoa campus. In the 20 years I have walked across campus behaviors have changed. Students used to pay attention to their surroundings, now their faces are buried in their cell phones. At crossing areas they continue on, and give side eye at you while YOU wait for them to pass. Sometimes you arrive first and they speed up to cut you off, this is foot traffic for goodness sakes! What’s up with dat? Directions to me are always based on landmarks, cause I can’t remember street names, or just never paid attention cause the landmarks are easier.

[@kaneikaika]

It's both bokbok and local, Andy. Go warra da plants.

[@esceleto1619]

Brah I snap here every time in the mainland. Lol

[@ambrosif]

Good fun your show. An da switch you wen talk about...it's in females too. Hoh, you should see me, sometimes try fo repress my inner tita!
