He’s a good man for sure! Best of the best!

I can see why you have so many amazing friends, Paul. You are a great human being and people are naturally drawn to you!

This video is the best example of what senior retirees need - excellent socializing with a good friend, almost never ending conversations under the sun, coffee to add. Very healthy for the body and soul. Paul, you have been doing entertaining and inspiring videos, love it. Good luck to Bud Brown in going back to America or moving to Mexico.

Paul, I don’t live in the Philippines, nor am I considering moving there. I keep returning to your channel, though, because the content is just so darn interesting. Looking back, do you ever say to yourself I missed my calling in life; I should have taken broadcasting as my major and or gone into TV or radio. I’m convinced you would have been a great success.

It’s wonderful to see such great friendship among guys. It’s really tough to connect with people who operate on such a down-to-earth level with no agendas. God bless you both. 🙏

No better way to start my day than to have my morning coffee ☕️while i watch you two have your coffee and chat…❤️ Gonna miss this so much 😞

This was a wonderfully heart-felt sendoff to your old pal Bud Brown. I guess you could look at it as “until we meet again” versus “goodbye.” I really liked Bud’s idea that he is running to something (his daughter & family) rather than running away from something (the Philippines). You consistently give us great wisdom without advice and preaching. Bravo Paul!

You are such a big personality Paul, so warm, so calm. You seem very level headed.

Bud Brown I wish you a safe trip on your new journey !

Great talk guys! I agree about the stresses in the US, particularly now with prices being jacked up and inflation hitting literally everything. My wife now understands how our "great salaries" goes away so quickly. I had to come back for work, after being overseas for 10 years, about 2 years ago and my stress level and anxiety is about 300% higher now than when I lived in the Phils...and I lived in Metro Manila. I can't wait to get back this summer. Best of luck in your travels, Bud.

You two crack me up. Bud, you will be missed but wish you the best back in the US. Have a safe trip.

Bud likes to travel---so it wouldn't surprise me to see him jump a plane back to Dumaguete now and then. Hope he does.

Everyone needs a Bud Brown in their life.

Safe travels Mr Bud Brown, wishing you well in Mexico buddy. It's sad to see Bud leave, but life is full of change. I hope you find new friends in Mexico Bud, and you also find another Bud in Dumaguete Paul, life is so much better when you have a friend like Bud or Paul, down to earth real honest genuine trustworthy and interesting guys.

2 Good friends together how much better does life get.

I'll miss Bud in the Philippines. Looking forward to Bud Brown en español!🇲🇽🌮🤠

Watching this made me cry. U2 will always be Brothers.❤

It has been a honor watching you two yacking over the years great vid guys we will all miss Bud being in the phills for sure.

Throughout the video I think it can be easily seen Paul, that parting is such sweet sorrow. Hit it off with someone, establish a friendship, then off they go. Really no different then you or any expat have experienced the day you decided to depart the U.S. But you have to follow your heart, do whatever 'you' think will make you happy. Because not doing that is only cheating yourself. Like Bud said, "We'll do okay." Never makes it any easier to see someone leave though. So it's "Until we meet again." You're a good man Paul. Wish you, baby Mae, and Bud all the best.

Bud brown discovery you late on KZfaq through Paul old dog new tricks. I been to Philippines five times since 2018 . I was just in general Santos Philippines February 2023 meet my girlfriend brother family and she lives in Caloocan city Philippines . We just filled fiancee visa for USA. I am 57 years old and my fiancee is 55 years old . I watched lots of your videos so far . You're really great guy just like Paul old dog new tricks. Best wishes to your new life in USA and God bless you and family.

I feel truly honored to be there with you at the table for this wonderful moment between you. Even though I don't know either of you it feels somehow like I do. It's like you both feel so much like others I have known, maybe, I don't know. If I ever get over there I will be very fortunate to find someone like you guys to show me the ropes. I hope the others you've helped are paying it forward for the next wave of ex-pats. Thank you for sharing this very personal time with us.

Thanks for all the Philippine memories Bud! You and Ned were the ones that got Phil on my radar. I'm interested to hear more from you from the other side of the Pacific.

Hey, Paul... doctor from Brazil and Spain here... you two really got a good chemistry and a real good soothing friendship... always keep that going...

" My 20's....30's....40's...were all a preparation for now"......Just Brilliant Bud....Great attitude Best of luck in your future "Now".

Exactly brothers, its so much expensive now in the states. You will be surprised. Most expats live in other low cost living countries like the Philippines because of the make or break retirement budget like I do. I am fortunate enough to have a dual citizenship. Moved to the Philippines when my dad suffered a stroke, took care of him until his last breath. Lived in the states for almost 27 years. I have contemplated in deep thoughts to retire at age 62 next year, hence I can claim benefits which in turn will make my financial position a lot better and encouraging. Personally, this is the best scenario for me. Everywhere we go there are pros and cons living in other countries. The most important thing is you are living mostly in a stress free condition considering its economic impact and enjoying what remains of us in this uncertain times. God bless us all. Be safe.

good luck to Bud and his wife - Gloria on their return to the States. safe travel ... hey Paul, your friendship with Bud, is something that needs to be seen to be believed. thanks for the look. stay strong.

Good luck Bud, Paul I have been here in queson city for one month to care for my lady who has a battle with cancer ( she is winning) and I will deffenently not be retiring to manilla it's crazy here. Hope to back to Dumagutte later this year.

Hi Paul from panorama City California both of you have great chemistry together and very informative conversation

You guys have a very good chemistry. It’s nice to see two guys meet up n chat daily for a few hours.

Locations in Asia where expats live, like Bangkok where I am, are transient. I've been here six years and many of the men I became friends with have returned to their home countries. A few stay. But for many, it's a temporary thing. Nomads gonna nomad I guess.

Wow, truly enjoy listening to you and Bud chew the fat. An amazing friendships you have there Paul, Bud’s a wonderful person and I can see how and why him and Gloria will be missed. Best of wishes to Bud and Gloria in there travels. God bless each of you.

Gentlemen (and I say that with some doubtfulness (just kidding!) thank you both for the privilege of being able to vicariously sit-in on your conversation. A few times while doing so I literally had to LOL. :-) God bless, fellas, and be well.

You guys are blessed to have had each other. Bon voyage, Bud, and L'Chaim to you both.

I feel like I’m chatting with you guys. I’m cracking up all the way. You guys made my day. I’m gonna miss Bud with Paul. Memories! Bon voyage Bud n Gloria. Paul, you’re a real trooper. Keyes, Keyes, Keyes!

I remember missing Mexican food when I lived in the Philippines. Getting Mexican food was one of the first thing I did whenever I would visit the USA.

The best pleasure for us elderly men is chatting and laughing with sincere elderly friends

All the best to Bud on his new adventure. Looking forward to seeing him in the U S. One of the really good guys.

Safe travels Bud Brown!

We wish you all the best as you continue with your new jounery ..Will miss your laugh please keep posting videos

Have a safe journey Mr. Brown. Have enjoyed watching you and Miss Gloria. Blessings to you both.

Growing up in the military I never expect anyone to be around very long. Enjoy your time with them, hope they fair well wherever they are and laugh at the good times you had together as were all short timers.

Look forward to future content Bud. Hope you send videos. God bless and good luck to you and Gloria!

I’m gonna miss bud brown, retired from the Philippines Paul, it’s yours now.

Really nice interview with your friend.. thank you for sharing Paul

Great conservation. Just Life in General Best of Luck Bud. Cheers Paul. Great show. God Bless.

Loved every minute of your talk. Two best buds. Very heart warming ❤

Nice conversation between good friends, thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed this nice relaxing conversation.Thanks!🇨🇦

Great conversation between the both of you Paul! Friendships like the ones you have are hard to find! Have a blessed day and happy trails to your friend!

Bud, good bloke, good luck with everything to you and to your wife. Forgive my ignorance, but have you been married to a Filipina for 5 decades and after 12 years you move back. ? Good to have met you through Paul, thank you both for inviting us to your chat 💛 ❤️

Paul, I will certainly miss you two bantering together. Bud has a way of his whole body laughing that is a delight to see. Safe travels to him & his mate. Be well, be sFe,

Delightful conversation! Thank you Sirs!

This is a wonderful way to show true friendship... So honored to be able to watch your honest unrestricted interactions...

Hey Paul,I really enjoyed Buds videos too .Paul keep up the great work .

Paul we all liked Bud Browns videos I've watched his channel at least 7 years and cone to respect him a lot he is such a stand up guy you never hear anything critical from nhim he helped a lot iff locals there also and I learnt a lot about the philipines from him I retired in 2017 and went to philipines to retire and I love it like the stress free environment simple liveing and the freedom we have liveing there the world has changed a lot in last 10 years and not in a good way In my opinion. But who am I too judge I brought my home here 2 years before I retired my wife asked me if idd retire over there and she had moved to Australia to be with me. I thought the least I could do is try for her but idd pretty well decided too anyhow. I know by buying a home here if anything happened it's hers I was ok with that as was not big money compared to my home in Australia which I still own Getting back t I Bud I feel we have been lucky to see his look on life and he would be the most admired expat liveing here and has passed his knowledge on to us Love your channel you do it very well take care keep the videos comming

Such wonderful talks between you both, got some good laughs, sad that it will end. I wish Sir Bud all the best in the next chapter of his life. Memories ☕☕💛👍

Hi Paul, just watching your video, i don't know what it is about your videos? they are just so engaging. Half way through the video, I thought my phone was ringing, but no, it was your friend Bud's phone, he has the same ring tone as me, aha! 🤣🤣 Anyway I wish Bud all the happiness in the world and he makes a succes of Mexico with his wife Gloria.😃👍👍

It took me 14 hours to travel from Corpus Christi, Texas to Allentown, Pennsylvania last November, so the travel times your talking about from the Philippines doesn't sound too terrible. And American Airlines changed my flights THREE TIMES between the time I booked my trip in April to the time I actually flew. And each change put me on more and more inconvenient times.

Glad you two met one last time, I have enjoyed your meetups the last few years, best wishes to you both

@52 minute mark. "I don't| instead of I can\t". Good advise. I will use this:) . I like listening to older, wiser people in case I learn something important and I did. Thank you.

Going to miss you guys shooting the bull. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍

Love seeing how relaxed and mellow you to gentleman are. Man, I can't wait to retire. 😎 Great conversation guys, thanks for sharing! 👋

You two take care. Allways wach you videos.. Bud and Paul.

Another incredible vid gents!

Great conversation. Loved this video. You guys are great.

will miss seeing bud at hotel for breakfast , enjoy new adventure

Thanks guys, I really had a good laugh and just enjoyed the conversation. Cheers Lolo bob

My mother's teacher before the 2nd world war was an American and she love the things she learned and later on she taught too. After the war she told us, her children,of her deepest gratitude to the United States.

You two share a unique experience together in that you are the God Fathers of the Duma vlogging world...

Best friends being best friends..thanks for sharing you made my week 👍

Two good old men. Great video guys!!!

Wow I loved this conversation… watching it on the big screen

I feel like im sitting there with you both so so relaxed and nice, i would have chipped in to say.....well enjoy your new chapter but remember the door's always open to return of coarse, regards to you both really enjoyed

wow, this is some special stuff; flies on the wall watching 2 dear friends last in-person chat for maybe until they are both diamonds....

EVA Air, from Cebu or Manila to Vancouver or Seattle about 25 hours with a 9 hour layover in Taipei. My wife and I stayed in the Vip lounge in Taipei Airport. Super nice and not really too expensive. Very comfortable with food, drink and very clean showers. NICE EXPERIENCE. Made that layover easy.

Wow last hurrah Buds a legend in his area.You to have a great friendship together

A beautiful “My Dinner with André”. Thanks for the insight.

Very Good Video Paul 😊. Love to watch you and Bud chat. Going to miss the videos of you two together. Luv the camaraderie. The Best of friends. 😊 Also the movie 🎬 with Jim Carey is called YES MAN. He could only respond with a yes to everything. Hilarious movie 😅. Happy Trails to Bud and his wife. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

keep up the good work i really enjoy your videos

I love you guys.. wish I had friends like yall.. keep up the content man! I love your videos

Bud brown interview hope to hear follow up story or progress back in America soon paul

You guys are so funny 😂. You win!!🤣🤣

Ime in Philippines perminantly no health insurance can't afford it..if I needed an operation and returned to the UK the free healthcare care there has a waiting list of over 6 million people requiring an operation...so I would most probably die waiting...

great conversation. enjoyed the honesty

yup MNL to LAX around 12 hours. always faster going back. PAL is always the most convinient way to go back and forth between PI and the US.

Good Conversation.

It's really tough to part with a dear friend. I'm glad you have some good videos with Bud you can review in the future. I hear you about the text messaging. I remember many years ago I was a little like that as well, as a courtesy I would respond to text very quickly, but was a little irritated when sometimes the same courtesy was not extended. It's a sign of immaturity, I have since learned better and no longer take offense at all.

Nice video. My wife and I celebrated our 25th last October. It's been the best 25 years of my life. I want to move over at least for the winter months in 2024.

Sad to see you two getting split up but I understand Bud’s and Gloria’s motivation to be close to their kids. You and Bud will have to have a LDR. 🤣 I always like listening to you two together.

God bless you and your wife bud 😊Have a safe trip.

There's only one Bud Brown! You will miss him. For sure!

Maybe he like airport food lol. Only reason I could think of taking 50 hour flight. I pray bud has a safe trip and many more wonderful people to befriend .

I admire the respect you have for each other.

I'm sure all Filipinos like me got a big smile on their faces when Bud says "Hoy. One more. Isa pa!' 😂

Customer service in America is not like it used to be. It’s hard to get service who knows what they are doing and cannot find anybody to help. I hear the same complaint, short of staff or people don’t want to work!

Paul, you were talking about the guy taking the long trip home… about 2 weeks ago, I was shopping for flights to the Philippines and one really jumped out at me… it was actually a little cheeper the PAL… Qatar Royal Air or what ever it’s name is… it’s basically an around the world trip to Manila… leaves SFO flys to New York then Heads off to Dubai where you have a day long layover, before catching the next flight to Manila. I’ve already crossed the date line both tropics as well as the equator several times… I’ve completed Route 66, why not around the world, at a third tge price of most round the world tickets?😁

When returning to Philippines with my wife we used to exclusively take PAL. Unfortunately post Covid their service has gone downhill. We now transfer through Taipei Taiwan and if you book far enough in advance you can usually get a fare that’s $300.-$500. Cheaper than PAL with only an extra 3hrs in total travel time. We usually spend 2.25hrs layover in TPE on the inbound and 4hrs on the outbound and the airport is a breeze to navigate for transfers if you stay on the same airline. The restaurant Paul referred to at LAX was probably the Encounter restaurant in the Theme building. A kind of space age design reminiscent of a flying saucer. It closed in 2013. The USO office that was previously in another terminal ( I think terminal #5) moved to the ground floor of the Theme building in 2018.

It’s nice to see you gentlemen are having quality balling. Enjoy and be safe.

It is a good time of year to relocate. Not too hot or cold so don't have to carry TWO seasons of clothes or buy extra on arrival,
