so in this video I'm going to be
reacting to hateful comments and setting
the record straight
[Music]
so we're going to be doing something a
little bit different in this video
um basically I read the comments and you
guys aren't very nice to me
well some of you aren't so friendly and
some of you just have things wrong about
me so I wanted to take time in this
video to kind of go through some of
those comments and kind of answer it all
for you oh and Michael is right here
next to me
um she'll be providing some comic relief
I think or maybe I'll be the comic
relief I don't really know we actually
went through years and years of comments
probably didn't get to all of them but
it is devastating and funny very funny
quickly though if you guys want to help
support the channel check out the Tokyo
and Japan Merch this one is our Tokyo
zebra reading a newspaper okay hit me
with the first one man your face is very
punchable
I don't even know how to respond to
these I can't can I see like if somebody
punch you and you're still smiling
I love the dogs
can you make a donkey face
let me search Google I just searched
donkey donkeys aren't so bad search
donkey and the green monster
truck
that was from our rewind our Christmas
and New Year's card to you that was like
a positive
[Music]
why is this dude's mouth so big don't
show your teeth always it'll break this
dude has some big freaking teeth I can't
stop seeing this guy's mouth and teeth
which one you looking at now is that
good to have big teeth Angelina Jolie
has a big mouth I love seeing every
single tooth in Paolo's head when a
video starts it makes me feel like a
toddler in a nightmare Carnival
when do we get a dead in life with a big
teeth man himself is it being nice and
mean at the same sorry
um I don't know my mouth is Big my teeth
are big Michael has even commented in a
previous video that my teeth are like
dinosaur teeth
it's noticeable yes I have big teeth
Paolo I see that your hairstyle has
never changed in four years do you style
yourself or you go to a barber I guess
it has changed though it has a little
bit it's like the Steve Jobs of haircuts
I thought you were gay Ultra gay
actually this is a surprise is he gay I
thought you were a gay Mexican anime
wannabe character
definitely not bad
okay there's so many of this
so many
I don't know am I really that gay let me
know in the comments why do you shove
your face onto the camera you mean like
this
cringe Casey nice hat it's true right
like when we first started we had no
clue about YouTube or how to do it and
it was like a major influence in what we
wanted to create and we just love the
way he told the story I did learn so
much from Casey neistat yeah I always
have this like burial coffee even the
best is the best way to learn yeah so I
think actually is like a lot yeah I
think when you start anything you like
look at who's at the top and who's like
the best at doing it like for us that
was him and so we tried to like tell
stories just like him
didn't do so well so people so people
got the you know cringe rip off but
along the way we failed forward and just
kept on learning and eventually
developed our own style imagine what
this guy would do if Japan didn't exist
uh I guess I wouldn't be married to my
caucus
I mean before I came to Japan I actually
got offered an internship in an IT
company in Santa Monica and I had to
make a choice whether or not to do that
or go to Japan so Japan didn't exist
maybe I would still be there working for
an I.T Company Santa Monica
yeah it was nice I mean it's nice
yeah I went to school in Malibu so dude
you are sweaty as F so yeah
unfortunately I like sweat a lot I don't
know what it is but I just sweat a lot
and then on top of that I'm running
around filming everything I'm going from
like this spot to this spot trying to
like capture everything and then by the
time I get like on camera and like
feeling myself I'm like drenched and
soaked and if it's hot outside it's even
worse
let's see more mean comments oh I think
this one is about you is she a gold
digger no
not um if you guys don't know like
Michael and I create this channel
together this is like how the channel
started is like both of us doing it
together and Michael is mostly doing all
of the editing these days and then
towards the end of the production we
edit the video together this is our
Channel yes this is our Channel we do it
together so if anything more like a gold
mine
after watching his video so far I
wouldn't recommend following his advice
about Japan uh I guess my
recommendations aren't for some people
you know like everyone has their
preferences and all of the things I do
is pretty much all the stuff that I like
or maybe some of the things that Michael
likes as well and so if you don't like
the stuff that we like then you're
probably not gonna like our
recommendations so it's fair like you
probably want to find someone more that
likes what you like you know I think
that's the whole beauty of YouTube
there's like different channels that you
know focus on different things and every
person has their own character but yeah
this one was interesting are you Chinese
African
no I get really dark in the summer but
I'm like 10. you can see it started
actually like working out in the morning
a little bit and I was like wearing a
beanie right now so I have like a tan
line another awesome video I feel like
this one had some funny behind the
scenes it at least had one clip
there you go dude why do you talk like a
Disney side character
maybe you guys can let me know which
side character you guys think at least
it's a Disney movie that's a positive
right I can read these ones these aren't
so mean who is the cameraman and how
many cameramen does this man have okay
let me introduce you to my cameraman so
this is my cameraman Hi how are you guys
doing for all the den life videos as
well as uh the behind the counter videos
I film everything myself I'm the
cameraman one and only and I know
sometimes yeah Michael does sometimes
too yeah I mean when you first started
in a lot of the street food videos she
would help me out can someone tell me
what job Paolo does this is one year ago
I make YouTube videos how many channels
do you have that's easy so we have this
channel we have Tokyo zebra and pretty
soon we'll have a Spanish Channel this
one says I don't like being in front of
the camera I'm shy I'm actually not sure
if that sarcasm or legit either way it
came a long way since a statement first
of all thank you that's actually one of
the quotes from one of my first videos I
don't think I like being in front of the
camera I'm shy but to be honest I'm
still not like I don't like necessarily
being on camera you just get used to it
yeah you just get used to it I've seen
other people like super aggressive to be
on camera like they just love camera
yeah you're not that yeah I'm not like
seeking to go out I think if I had a
choice I probably like won't go out of
my way to be in the camera but I think
it's important for the channel for me to
like be able to talk to all these you
guys to tell you how I feel about like
certain things do you do all the
drawings for the maps they're so cute
yeah okay so Michael does all the
drawings for the maps we don't do them
so much because we don't draw so many
Maps these days because we're not doing
as many like Street Food Tours but
hopefully we'll be getting back to that
I enjoy
how many hours does it take you to do
Paolo do you like poached eggs or
hard-boiled eggs I like eggs sunny-side
up
you like raw eggs that's your favorite
type of egg I think so I mean you eat it
a lot but I didn't know that was your
favorite favorite I think if you count
it I probably eat it raw the most baby I
like them raw baby what is your music
list well we use epidemic sound for our
videos what's my music maybe do you
think they mean like what music you
listen to oh maybe listen to Django
actually recently I've been into young
pinch
how do you find people and have them
agree to participate in your videos I
feel like that's half the battle right
there and it must not be easy yeah it's
not easy it's not easy it's not easy to
find people that are willing to show
their life ask the right people in the
right way initially it's really really
difficult because you know people don't
know like who you are or what you do but
now that we've kind of built I don't
know several hundred videos so it's a
little bit easier and still then we get
a lot of notes I feel like
I feel like 95 no and it used to be like
that and now it's like half an hour no
it says ever since Wolfie was born
Paulo's dad jokes has gotten better I
appreciate the fact that you aren't
afraid of a bad pun yes I love puns I'm
a dad oh that's what it means
I thought
I think it was a camera
English
it's more cool in the States but in
Japan it's like the bottom of the comedy
believe me in the states it's the bottom
beautiful in the Ripple makes that jokes
it's funny well some people like it some
people don't they don't they probably
don't watch the channel so before we
continue on I wanted to get like all of
the mean people to help me pay for this
video so I want to give a quick shout

questions for you what is your favorite
or biased food Japanese or Filipino
dishes why is the word Tokyo on your
merch shirt or inverted favorite foods I
think I go back and forth on Japanese
food but right now I think Fried Chicken
is pretty up there
and Filipino food it's I think it
reminds me of like when I was growing up
my parents would make that for my
birthday what's your favorite food sushi
so she Filipino food I like that pork
ear thing
there you go that's actually pretty good
too and then why is your Tokyo Mart
shirt inverted
um I think it's cool so yeah I mean
we're actually relaunching our merch
stuff with all new designs soon so links
always in the description in the
comments if you guys want to check out
our merch it's stuff that I literally
wear every day they're so comfortable
even but if you don't feel me you didn't
even even did you grow up in the
Philippines your English accent doesn't
sound like from the Philippines born in
the Philippines moved to the states when
I was three so I pretty much grew up in
American culture you talk Like Son Goku
in Japanese sub I wonder if it was done
by your girlfriend when was this one hit
Japanese Street I think we are married
by Ben I mean for those of you that
don't know we do Japanese Idols for all
of our videos and Michael does them and
instead of like doing kind of like a
boring like just straight translation
she's given me this Goku voice from
Dragon Ball it basically sound like a
little kid from Countryside some people
hate it though are you super sick in
this video you looked sick and even wore
a mask around sometimes I'm not my best
when I'm building these videos we spend
like months and months trying to like
schedule some of these videos and I just
can't like cancel the whole thing
because there's so many parties involved
and so many stuff needs to get worked
out if I'm like not 100 I'm still gonna
film especilia is a big companies I
think this is Grand experience yeah like
you guys also probably don't know but
depending on the filming because it
starts early in the morning and
sometimes I have like a really early
morning I'm usually on site two hours
before the filming starts so that I can
get everything prepared I just did a
video for an onigiri shop just recently
and I woke up at 200 the morning just to
like be it on time to be there at four
when they start okay so there you go I
hope you guys had fun with this one

than I had anticipated I hope you guys
learned a little bit more about me and I
answered some of your questions
