The Daily Pidgin #90 | Lazy Hawaiian Stereotype

[@lisapardon9443]

This made me cry. I miss Hawaii so much. The paradise is the people

[@nanialoha]

Hello Lisa Pardon, Andy does a LIVE show now, here on KZbin a 3:00pm Hawaii Time on Tuesdays and Thursdays (you'll have to do the math for the show time your own time zone :) Think you'll like it! Andy carefully crafts together his own music videos of the islands, and presents them on the show. Plus, we all get to talk story with Andy in real time.

[@jerryderloshon9372]

Am recuperating from laughing out loud at Surfer Speak episode-right on Andy! Now 71, still stoked, recall surfing Waikiki during 60s as a kid. Daily Pidgin is pure da kine bro

[@roda2305]

Here in the mainland, so important to keep the ALOHA spirit. but like you said, we have that built in us.

[@davidstorch4080]

I lived in hawaii during my 20s and I tell people that I lived the retired life, (not really) when I was able to physically enjoy it. I work 3-11 Shift at Grand Wailea on Maui, and surf almost everyday before work. No better way to spend the day than at the beach in the water. Never got rich financially, but my life was rich with health and good times. Mahalo, Andy, and see you tomorrow.

[@joshualong7517]

So bruddah, you made tears go streaming down my face right now as this is exactly why we moved here with our keiki's 10 months ago from Cali. The aloha life is so deep and full and relationships are at the core. That lesson from the old surfer was gold and I've had many give me the same message. Life is too short to chase money and have no time. Love your channel after looking up what da kine means last week. Totally understood the brah at Napa the other day telling me da kine parts I need fix after busting a hose in Waipio Valley🤙🏽 Mahalo!

[@Tatqueen1]

Thank you Andy that’s so beautiful said! Local style is LOVE and TIME ❤️❤️

[@mackhernandez8233]

Andy so true about the 4 day work week. We moved to Hawaii in 1968. My father got hired by Albert Rego, Rego's Purity Portuguese sausage, (da bes!). to run the production factory on Kawaihao street. the workers would not work all 5 days cuz "no need. get nuff kala," "oama runnin" or "surf up das why." so he had tried to pay them an extra a $20 a week IF they showed up all 5 days. M -F. even den no work, cuz "no need".... dos were da days....

[@10mrturbo]

How’s it! Thanks for taking me back home. I don’t know if you remember me but years ago we played darts at Anna Bananas. Good to see you Bra mahalo for da memories.

[@aprilmatsu508]

andy my unco who stays makaha west side has a shirt that says NMAFW... NO MISTAKE ALOHA FOR WEAKNESS...it reminded me of this life lesson you wen give today! mahalo fo remind me to smell da roses even mainland side!

[@sixstringslinger247]

Great advice for a transplant like me Andy, thank you for all the knowledge and wisdom you pass on to others.

[@VH413]

You said it perfectly Andy! As a local boy from Hawaii now living in the mainland I have to stick up for my brahdah'z back on da islands when I here dat kine stuff. Mahalo for dis series, I can't believe I just stumbled on dis channel while searching for All in da Ohana!!! Lol, you da man

[@c_honda]

VH413, so glad you watched this video. Obviously you are familiar. We could use your viewpoint on Andy's new show at Twitch.tv/andybumatai. I am on the mainland and have connections to the Islands, but I've never lived there. His new platform is live streamed so chatters can directly communicate with Andy. Daily 6am HST, 9am Pacific.

[@nanialoha]

Aloha! VH413, check out Andy's new LIVE show: "Daily Pidgin LIVE" at 3pm Hawaii Time, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. From what you say here, you'll enjoy da Islands again & can talk directly wit Andy. (posted Nov. 20, 2021)

[@froggyziffle]

It's now 6 years later and I just stumbled across this. Lots of long stories but let's just say this is one of the great ones. Mahalo

[@VK-rw3yz]

You’re the best Andy. Mahalo

[@ColinQuinnuniverse]

Andy, you nailed it. Different priorities. making time for talk story and family is top spot. Mahalo nui.

[@SoloPilot6]

" . . .but not if the cost includes the relationship with your family!" Something that more people should understand.

[@burgundyslater1345]

Your perspective is amazing. I've been binge watching and your ability to explain in simple terms is so refreshing!

[@burgundyslater1345]

And true about the kids! My husband and I have 5 and we're both at every practice and every game...we feel bad when we have to split up. We both have jobs that require long hours but make it a priority to get there.

[@jojirivera8799]

Hi Andy, your surfing story is very profound indeed. I used to live in Hawaii in my younger days never had learned and time to surf. Transplanted myself in Silicon Valley. People here are in a rat race, very busy making money to make ends meet. Now, I am in my mid-50s, with weight issues, retired and wished I can surf. Life is short. Enjoy every moment of it!

[@namastezen3300]

I hope that you have gotten in the water in the interim, if you have good swim skills, go play in the shore break. Aloha

[@johnchang7]

Just discovered this show and it's some good stuff. Grew up in CA surfing there and was in Hawaii in 92 for like a month. don't k ow why I ever came back 😂

[@lesliekendall5668]

Reminded this mainland haole girl who was married to one full blood local Japanee man that the only reason we ever disagreed was because we both always wanted to do what the other one wanted to do. 😂

[@gpl992]

That last story is hella deep brah.I should take it to heart ..

[@xochiltpfohl8561]

Same as Mexicans we have our talk stories , and the mariachi in our veins

[@dakinerhymes9625]

You have outdone yourself with this video. I am speechless with admiration.

[@martyhoenisch3582]

Aloha Andy, dated a girl (haole) from Waianae for a few years. I think I recall you knew the family, last name Tutton). We saw you in the early 80's and actually got to meet you. Good to see you're still having fun and entertaining folks!

You so righteous! From Kula Maui

[@andreawalcovy4039]

what comes out of da mouth, is a Direct Reflection of Self.. Be Nicer to yourselves, cut yourselves some slack & Chill out. Remember this "What Anybody Thinks of u, is non of ur business" took me as bit to wrap my head around it,...once I did, I'd just say it's not my Business, & This Big Smile just came cross my face!! I felt better. 🌟✨💫💖💗💓✌on🌎

[@keoniriches4287]

Wow Andy, that was a good lesson on life and funny too. You da man!!! Keep up the great work.

[@namastezen3300]

Great discussion. I'm glad that you got to surf Waikiki every morning and shared the anecdote. I liked the "argument about who was going to have to take their child to soccer" anecdote and the mistaking kindness for weakness observation (as a kind person, I can attest to the accuracy of your observation). Aloha, Andy.

[@ronin1955]

Eh Brah! So true, I been reassess my life too and had change'um. Been making choke money and had notice my kids growing up fast and I was losing out on time wit dem. Sold my businesses and now I stay cruise with da grandchildren too. Good talk and stay frosty.

[@crusTodd]

Full agrees😉 I was only on Maui 2 yrs, but you just summed up what I miss most about Hawaii. The family culture and LIVING in a place people from around the world chase after getting to. R E L A X brah', take'm E Z😁

[@hannahespina8521]

Agree. You gotta make time fo talk story! People in the mainland are too busy to even pretend to care about people sometimes.

[@SunnyIlha]

Fo'real gotta ! 😌 🗣️ 🙂 🗣️ ☺️

Thanks Andy. Mahalo

[@Rattielicious]

'mistake kindness for weakness', so true

[@paulwisham5943]

Mahalos Andy! Grew up Makiki-Punchbowl side... Now living in Yokohama. That's right. Japan. Perspective on time and work are quite different here indeed!

[@jbcp1376]

Love the surf story!

[@patrickyamada1884]

It broke my heart to hear of an 8-year old hearing his parents tell him how much of an inconvenience he is. When my younger daughter was 3 or so she came into the living room and went to sit next to my wife. I grabbed onto her and said "I wanna hold the baby" and my older daughter (9 at the time) joined in. Soon everyone surrounded the young one and was saying "No, I wanna hold the baby" until she yelled, "You have to share Baby!"That has become a running joke in the family. Yes, take time to enjoy your kids. T'anks, Andy!

[@Robbievigil]

good lesson Andy thanks bruddah.

[@chasedseacloud5203]

Thas why I love Hawaii forever even I'm here mainland now

[@stolv3771]

lol "Sharon is Karen". literally laughed out loud. Mahalo, Andy

[@theatk]

andy, this and the one about local kindness are spot on, brah. sometimes I let the stereotype just carry on, too. people say "these people I work with, it's like they don't care enough to get things done faster!" and I usually just nod and agree. I think I wanna stick up for those of us born and raised in this local culture more often. thanks for the stories, appreciate it andy

[@barbaraferreira2978]

Good one today, we all have different perceptions of each other and I hate that. Accepting each other takes so little effort..............Love you.

[@mitchmiyake6525]

Das right Andy, the work ethic here on da mainland on some of da people here. Auwe, thanks for da site.

[@JoeyLevenson]

When I got to Hawaii the first time, my van driver told me the common expression as “welcome to Hawaii! Now go get your two jobs.” Local brothers have all kinds of hustle. It’s just in the own way. Shoots!

[@danconstanciojr8476]

Hey, Andy. How come when I drive and pick up passengers, then I close the doors to leave someone running across the street races to catch my bus; but when I wait for them, they are amazed that I waited for them. Why are they so surprised I waited for them?

[@LadyTSurvival]

i totally get that, i get razzed alot because i take the time to get where i need to go without rushing madly. sounds great to be able to slow down. moving to oahu soon and i cant wait for the slow down.

[@lasilveira805]

808 State..and the length of this video 🤙🌴😊

[@Burps___]

Andy, we've all been on the Circle Island tour. How about starting a Pidgin Hawaii tour, even if only once a week! Waianae, Makaha, Kaena Point, all da secret surfholes, secret places for true island food, plenny comedy from guide (you!), etc. See the "real" Hawaii, not just the tourist stuff. Stop at your fav places on "cool" side of Oahu, and help local businesses in process. No losers, all win. Fun! Think on it, brah!

[@Gypsyboy932]

I like that idea. When I was there (Oahu) recently on vacation, I explored the areas a guidebook hinted to stay away from. Some of the places you mentioned. Why travel so far to hang with other tourists in crowded Waikiki, when you can check out the local scene and learn your way around? A few years ago I traveled to Maui and needed some minor help - I could not believe how naturally friendly and helpful the people were.

[@thejdubb43]

There is a reason why they are called secret spots. #luckywelivehawaii

[@Gypsyboy932]

+thejdubb43 Yeah, I agree. Surf spots should be a no no, but overall it's a good idea (easy for me to say). Supporting local small businesses. Andy is great with his camera(s) out in the field. One of the best videos I've seen is his shopping in an Office Max. I think its called "Small Moments".

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+coolkayaker1 Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not good at the tour guide thing. Plus, It sounds easy but it way more work than you'd think. I'll have a little more time once I get through producing this first batch of shows for the Hawai‘i TV market. Thanks again for the suggestion. Oh, and do a search on "Aloha Stoked" on KZbin my friend Kalani is doing what you're talking about on Maui.

[@lychee2785]

[@noradennis4361]

Great video Andy. I would say Hawaiians aren't lazy but laid back. When I've visited the islands I've immediately felt the difference in attitude. On the mainland, hustle and bustle, on the islands? What's the rush? Where you going in such a hurry? I really miss the place. Aloha!

[@stradguy1740]

Honestly uncle, in my experience with pidgin i feel like there are different dialects. Every island ive made friends with and to me honestly talking to them and their friends and family every island kind of sounds different atleast to me

[@nanialoha]

So true! I found same thing. Haha...

[@IslandZsurvivor]

#EVERDAYHUSTLEHAWAII ...not hustle bustle. who gonna make the laulaus?who gonna teach the keiki? who gonna malama the aina an da hui? everyday in Hawaii has a price to be paid. sometimes its a high cost and it aint money..what one receives from Hawaii and its people cannot be quatified in dollars and cents. Some people that are flown here not grown here(like me..22yrs ago) will get it and understand, sadly some will not..i have had to hustle and hold on with 2 hands at the same time, others who try to change Hawaii to suit themselves miss out on so much. I wouldn't trade this time for anything. and to the actor guy you were talkin about, sorry didn't have your half half decaff machiado dude when you wanted em...#HAWAIISHUSTLEISREAL

[@baozeng]

andy can you tell us about the Hawaiian history in the backday

[@AndyBumataiShow]

+baozeng After a few posts I've done I think it would start too many arguments. People believe different things and have strong opinions about it and I just don't have the time to do the back and forth it takes to defend a position. Plus, it's tough to do in an entertaining way with out seeming like you're making fun of it which I would literally be doing.
