Anne and I take a stroll down Walking Street chatting about her trip to see family and about other topics like drinking and smoking. We also go shopping at a supermarket and stop into a ramen shop.
I open up about my past when I was married and explain how drinking became a problem in my previous marriage and family situation. I tell the story about when I was arrested and placed in jail and why.
Come take a walk with us, join us shopping and listen along as we talk about some interesting topics.

I am a friend of bill and Bob for seventeen years. Life is a lot better for me congratulations to you for 18 years of sobriety God bless
thank you Michael 🫶
18 years of sobriety is awesome Chubs, congrats!
thank you Adrian 🫶
I got sober in 1999 the first time and fell off the wagon in 1993. I got sober again June 25th 1996 and have been sober since.
We all have our bad experiences in our lives. We need to forget the past and not worry about tomorrow and focus on today. Stay sober today and keep the serenity prayer in the forefront of your mind. Your mind will take you to the bottle fast.
That was a nice video of you sharing a personal side of your life with us. Great job for staying sober for 18 years! 🙏🫶🥰
thank you Edgar 👍🫶
We all live an Learn. Mistakes are opportunities to learn & make us better.
absolutely 👍 thank you Kevin
Total respect for you and this message you shared. It moved me and I salute your strength of character in facing what hurt you. That takes courage.
thank you so much for those kind words 🫶 it was time to admit and make amends rather then keep looking over your shoulder or wondering what had happened while shit canned
Could be worse, at least Minnesota doesn't have Detroit's record.
They hung in longer than the Packers and I still say Go Pack Go
Hey Chubs, I did catch on to you being in recovery/ X alcoholic when you had an interview with Brian. I can usually tell a X alky when they talk about their life for a bit without actually mentioning alcohol... Good job on the sobriety road, I was the same age when I got my first DUI and was introduced to treatment. Unfortunately, for me I only stayed sober 3 years then, now it's been on and off since 2002 when I relapsed.
Willie stuck in Seattle.
thank you Willie 🫶 the first years are always the toughest and hopefully its not an issue for you 🙏
It Takes a real man to admit they have done wrong or made a huge mistake in their Life, Just know that we respect you None of us or innocent we all have something we are ashamed of in our past
thank you Terry
Thanks for sharing your story man. It's funny, today I finally asked my Dr. If there were any meds out there that could help me finally quit drinking. She said there were a few meds, but we're going to try one that requires monthly injections.
I just wish I had quit drinking 20 years ago when I got pulled over for suspicion of DUI. I got off because of a technicality. Looking back on it I wish they would have thrown the book at me.
I was 35 at the time. Now I'm overweight, divorced, and have liver issues and neuropathy (Hello Ladies!). I'm planning on moving to the Philippines or Thailand for a second chance at life. I'm hopeful about my future for the first time in years. You vloggers have radicalized me lol. Thank you all!
🫶 Good for you and its never too late.. you still have good years ahead of you and youll be amazed at how good this region of the World will make you feel! Not just the welcoming loving people but the climate will take all the aches and pains away and the over-all happy non combative temperament of the cultures is refreshing…
sure, its chaotic here at times but it all works with limited stress volatility and entitlement 👍
there are meetings here in Angeles city just ask
@boboconnor8668 yes i see them posted in Blue Book 👍
No drinking and living at Walking Street. You are a better man than me!
Good for you brother. I too moved recently to the Philippines and no longer drink (March 2015). An interesting prospective no doubt as a non drinker in the Philippines. Might be worth exploring more of that type of content. Maybe I will:) Anyway, take care there.
thank you Chris 👍
Congrats Chubs, its easy to drink, its work and maturity to effect change. respect and keep it up. Have a great day.....Mike and Arlyn
thank you Mike & Arlyn, you are so right 👍🫶
I am 14 month sober now !!! I know what you talking about !!! Respekt !!! Regards Erwin Zado
thats awesome 👍🙏 good for you keep up the good work Erwin Zado 😁
Nice to see Adrian at the beginning of your video. Unfortunately your drinking messed up your family but it's great to hear that you got the help that you needed and that you are sober now. We can't change the past but we can use the past to better our present and for our future. I was wondering if you knew Philly Brian since you both are in the same area. My first wife had a drinking problem and an opioid addiction problem which ended up taking her life My older brother was getting drunk all of the time as we were living together and after I got married to my present wife I couldn't deal with him being drunk all of the time so we left. I don't know if he still drinks ad gets drunk or not but when I talk to him on the phone he sounds better. I tried to get my first wife help but in the end she is the one who has to want the help. I came home from work one day and she was unconscious so I called 911 and she never woke up. She was on a ventilator to keep her breathing as the doctors did everything that they could but when they said that she had no brain activity I decided to take her off of life support. She passed away on February 13, 2007. I'm only telling this because I want people to know about these dangers. Thank God that you got help before it was too late.
sorry to hear of your loss and and your brothers struggles.. yes it can take over lives and even take lives but like you said it takes the person to see the issue and want to change.. some never do 😔
thank you sir god bless you
Hello Guys, I will be in Manila in October for our nieces wedding. What city are you in? I am also a non drinker but plan on moving there after we retire!
we are in Angeles City, yes the Philippines is a great place to retire to
Good that you stopped but then it again it's not drinking that is the problem, it's not knowing your limitations. As far as women, find someone closer to your own age. Yeah, young stuff is great but really it's mostly in your mind. I have met filipinas well into their 50's that were pretty darned hot.
I am also in recovery for 30 years moving to Philippines be there February 20 staying for a year at a time hope someday I also gave up cigarettes hope to meet some day I will be living Batangas area and Iloilo Steve and Corazon my date is 1993 June 6th
Great video Chubs. Keep them coming. I’m probably thinking what a lot of others are here as to how you are living and vlogging in a place where the party scene is going on and yet you are still maintaining your sobriety. Hats off to you for being able to be there day in and day out and not drink in Angeles City and the walking street area. Not easy for most folks I would imagine.
🫶yes yes i can imagine the thoughts and skepticism but ive always been one for the Action! and no longer worry about the others, i can only control me
now, i enjoy the temptations and the openness of the situation here and i LIVE it responsibly!
these are happy days that i will remember all of and if it gets to be too much i will simply remove myself from the insanity.. and i have the common sense and experience to not let it happen again 👍
That’s awesome you’re able to create the great content that you do there and not take a drink. Congrats on your sobriety 🙏. Just retired in my 50s and plan a trip soon there. Your videos are great and informational. Go Cowboys! Jk. Sorry about your Vikings.
lol Cowboys cmon.. they look dam tough 👍
yes thank you and hopefully you can get here some day, such an invigorating place 😁
Dont Be To Hard On Yourself.
Excellent Vlogs Keep Up The Good Work.
thank you 🫶
Thank you for your honesty.... Good for you...
thank you jim 🫶👍
Thanks for sharing. It could help someone who is going through it!
yes yes i hope 🙏 thank you
Excellent video Chubs ! Hold your head high brother. I haven't drank since 1999 ,best decision i ever made.
thank you Steve.. i’m with ya 👍🫶
Wow 18 years almost as long as my dreaded Chicago Bears where last in the Super Bowl lol. Congrats on the achievement. New sub here shout out from Udon Thailand 🤙!!
thank you Sir 🫶
That spam is not cheap, it rightly similar here at Walmart Mountain View, California.
Be careful once and AN ALCOHOLIC always AN ALCOHOLIC I dont stay long in bars but enjoy dancing and pool
I respect you Chubs it's hard to admit I just got out of detox life is definitely better with out it im 47 we aren't getting any younger my sister told me start living your life im in an outpatient program and my life couldn't be better I wish you the best chub
thank you John and congrats to you, stay strong my man 💪👍
your Sister is right start living now stay sober do whatever you want to do 😁
Congrats on 18 years Chubs! Don’t beat yourself up about it alcohol is a bitch and nothing wrong with kicking her to the curb!
thank you 🫶
I hope my SF 49ers will go all the way to the Superbowl and bring the 6th SB trophy back to the SF BAY AREA.😁😁😁😁😁😁
oh man thats a good number 😳 they look strong, good luck
Hi Chad, I was stationed at Duluth in 1969...VIKINGS was my team for years...Fran Tarkington was the man back then....they should have won some super bowls back then too.....Also I probably should'nt warn you but I must,,,,Please cover your willy like Brian has said....I'm proud of you for being sober now!!!!!!!AWESOME.........Be careful over there but have fun man.....I miss that place after 50 years of being away..
i graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth.. love the town!
yes i take precautions daily, thank you Mike 👍
I drink to two liters of beer and usually have a couple of Shots. I think I am pretty healthy. I have had every problem caused by alcohol. My soon to be x-wife is a very angry drunk. I have left her and considering stop drinking. I am thinking of starting over at 55 in Philippines. I know I am not doing angry wife again. I don't get hung over or drink in morning, BUT when I am with friends I GET WAY FUCKED UP and ACT LIKE AN IDIOT. I just don't see starting again with that as extra baggage. I always want to keep drinking Because I feel not a super drunk tlll I go back and remember every time I ficked up I was drunk.
oh yes that all sounds familiar 👍 id black out quite a bit and the drinking didnt stop til we ran out, the friends at that time all drank as well, thought we were having fun being stupid pushing the limits 😳
Great job with the drinks, Trying to watch all your videos. Lot's of fun.🤗
thank you 🫶 im glad youre enjoying them 😁
Thanks for sharing good fun video Chubs, yes next year the Vikings will win it all. Excellent graphics when you did the explosion at the Viking bar. You obviously have a strong will to stop drinking alcohol. I've seen alcohol ruin lives. Best Wishes Anne n Chad 🍀💚🌴
thank you 🫶
Alcohol.. i knew for years but wasnt ready, that day was bottom… embarrassing stupid irresponsible reckless selfish
Today.. responsible open to communication face reality accept criticism treat others the way you want to be treated be happy pay it forward open book heart on sleeve dont sweat the small things 👍
WE thank you!
Bless you 🙏
thank you Johnny 🫶
At lest you know your limitations god bless! We all have demons we hide from. I don’t anymore either but buy choose I may buy a drink at a bar to socialize but never finish one. How do you handle going out? Do you go to the bars sometimes?
yes i still go out n&t but it has been so long it does not interest me.. i do have to leave once people start to repeat themselves or get sloppy tho 😬
😂😂😂 you Crack my morning up when I heard ice cream container,it's common we use it as Tupperware, now you're learning, always interesting stories u have ...enjoy and be safe..
they’re so handy for so many different things 😁 we used them on our last travel for tooth brushes deodorant and the like 👍 sturdy as well
Thank you 🫶
i love ann prudent with money just like me,especially during pandemic/lockdown. life was hard you can't rely on the government but i still love this country.we don't have random shooting.😀🇵🇭💖🇺🇸....
yes absolutely.. much nicer and less complicated here! so happy to be here 😁👍🫶
New sub. Staying away from alcohol myself and usually turn to soda. Calamansi and dalandan soda at seven eleven works great! Uncle was a terrible drinker, got stinkin drunk all the time and went home to yell at his family and kids everyday for thirty odd years until his body gave out RIP uncle Ray.
yes i hear you 👍 i grew up in a small town where bars & drinking were the only recreation for family and friends, especially during the 5 months of winter in Minnesota, there were always remarks about the problem but seldom action to fix
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It was very inspirational for me. We have a very similar history. Thanks for a great video.
you are welcome 👍
its best to face your demons and take control of your life 😄 thank you
Congratulations on your anniversary. I have my anniversary on the 24th, 29 years. I quit when I was 34. Did you know the International Spam Museum is in Austin MN? PS - why were you upset by the Vikings losing a playoff game? You should be used to it by now! I've been watching them lose playoff games since Fran Tarkenton was QB!
dam Vikes.. yes i should be used to it 😳
thank you and congrats to you as well 👍 and yes i did know Spam and MN had some connection but since ive never even tried it it never really took hold; im gonna have to try it 😬
That’s sad..
I salute you for sharing your life story.
Continue doing positive vlogs in P.I.
Be safe and good luck to you.
Hopefully, I’ll see you in AC when I get there.
thank you Sir 👍 we live we learn we grow 🫶 i’m always somewhere around here 😜
2 thumbs up for 15 years of sobriety. I have to question why chubs chooses to live in Angeles City when we all know what goes on in that city which he wants to avoid.
18 years 😁 i like the action the energy of it all, i just choose to leave the alcohol and the expensive fantasyland to those who want to enjoy that part
I now prefer the clear memories and the friendships (&stories) 😁😳😂
Im a alcoholic and a smoker. But when I met my filipina I started to cut down, later when I got new medication for my reumatism I could cut down even more since I wasnt in pain all the time. And when we got our daughter I cut down to where I am today. I drink 1 time a week, weak alcohol beer 2.8% (need around 18 to get drunk) and I drink for around 12 hours, I dont get to the point where I flip and start fuck up. And I smoke on average 1 stick a day.
On summer when its nice weather I drink and smoke more often. On vaccation its alot more but I stay away from strong stuff apart from when I drink with her relatives. And my main rule when drinking in Philippines is: when you start to feel drunk but want to drink more, get back to your hotel and drink there.
good for you good to hear and that sounds like a great plan to get yourself somewhere safe if you want to go longer..
the alcohol had to run out or i had to pass out before i would wrap up a Friday or Saturday binge, thank God i had some special babysitters to keep an eye on me some of those nights 🙏
@@chubsDubC The big problem comes when i drink something stronger. Then at a point brain just say click and I drink all I can find. Havent happened in a long time. I feel I can handle my alcoholism now, but know its just a good excuse away...
yes yes.. Minnesota was mostly beer for me but when i moved to Delaware it became a beer and shots game.. that was my unraveling.. i couldnt judge the power and b4 long i was a mess 😳👍
The best story of a man's life, change.
Wow! Didn't see this coming. Stay strong brother, it can be difficult hanging on walking street. I too share your pain with a similar story. So I get it and salute you. Keep the videos coming brother.
thank you 🫶
open and honest happy and living 😁👍
Hey Chub I been following you since you got to Angeles City. Man keep up the good work and also you dropped some weight.
TYVM Sir.. Living Life! 😁
and yes, 200 lbs on arrival and 174 now, also very nice and so much more functional yay
Sorry for your loss. Big Blue fan here
This brings to surface a lot of feels. Laurie was wonderful. I had no idea how your relationship ended, but now I do. I’m glad you found your voice. The three of you kids experienced a lot of trauma, so give yourself some grace. ❤
thank you Ann.. i remember the day you told me/us our family was dysfunctional and i laughed, you were so right 👍🫶
My Father and step mother did us 3 a huge disservice with no expressed Love trust family learning and growing.. we 3 carried all that into our relationships without realizing the conditioning they bestowed on us.. they blame our lives problems and bad choices on us and dont realize what they did to us in the most vulnerable years of our childhood
I’m so glad my Light Switch got turned on to the whats and whys.. survivors with deep scars! I wish i would have realized earlier in life; I’m so greatful you came into our lives, you are an Angel 😇 Luv you!
@@chubsDubC Aw… love you, too! It’s nice to see you so happy.
After hearing your story, I am a little surprised you settled in AC. Thanks for sharing!
i like the action 👍 never boring here
i also knew i could bring a different perspective of this area then most were
BIG VIKING FAN AS WELL....This year NO DEFENSE!!!
i had high hopes and will continue to support.. thank you for letting me know the why, its tough to watch live here unless its an evening game which is a live morning view here.. i always had to watch the after highlights wh didnt show how the games really played out
I admit, I’ve struggled with alcohol since my early 20s. Beer only, no hard liquors but it really doesn’t matter, alcohol is alcohol. Every time I have a day off, which is twice a week, I drink drink drink. But I’m nicer when I’m drinking so my wife doesn’t mind at all. But honestly I wish I could stop.
its not a struggle for everyone and some do fine with it… it is when it is considered for everything: family functions restaurant choices vacation spots weekend evenings free time b4 kids school events happy hours social time with neighbors after work with coworkers.. basically everything you do will revolve around the use of alcohol, you dont consciously think about it but it is always considered…
i would drink til it ran out or til i passed out/fell asleep
@@chubsDubC that’s precisely how I am, I drink until the beer is gone or I absolutely can’t possibly take another swallow. It runs on my father’s side of the family. My father and uncles were never able to quit, but my grandfather managed to give it up in his 60s. Anyways, thanks for your videos, they’re all highly enjoyable.
I'm new to the channel congratulations on your sobriety sir keep it up
thank you David 🫶
Chubs is a great guy!
thank you my friend 👍🫶
Ann's a gem, can already see that
yes she is 👍🫶
Sept 8will be 35 years for me living in ac 13 years now
so good to hear 😁👏 thank you and congrats 🫶🙏
Iowa here. Go Pack Go!
iowa.. what and a Packers fan 😳 lol 😜
@@chubsDubC It's 50/50 here. Packers and Vikings. Gets pretty wild like a split community during football season. Lol.
Happy for you brother, I have been sober for 37 years and travelled to the philippines in
sobriety and the thought of having a drink never crossed my mind and I never visited a bar
as I had no desire to. Often thought about living there but decided if I go back it will be just to see some of the places that I didn't get to on previous trip. Anyway I enjoyed your video!
thank you and congrats to you for 37 years 👏
Spam Filipino sushi lol
Thanks for today's video. Stay Strong 💪. Oh and you and Ann make a great team
thank you Chris 🫶 yes we do 😜
I am coming there in May I would like to meet you
we’re always at the Hot Spot there, swing thru when your around 👍 say Hi
Wow! My hats off to you, for disclosing that sobering part of your life.
I also have been alcohol free for twelve years, but mine was for medical reasons.
Good on ya Chad!
thank you Carlito and congrats to you 👍
Good vlog dude! My day was October 30 1999. I understand everything you have gone through.
congrats to you 👍🫶 thank you
Wow! I never saw that coming, congratulations to you for turning it around, I’ve only seen a few of your videos and I had you judged totally wrong, thought you were just another WS drinker doing YT to fund your partying lifestyle. Of all the beautiful places you could live in the Ph, what made you pick the Walking Street area to live? It must be like a compulsive gambler living in Vegas, and what do you do there if you don’t go to bars? Much respect
it took my withdrawal from the bar social scene for a while to fix my issues but i still enjoy the energy and camaraderie of it all, to a point, there is always a witching hour when i need to pull away due to repeated conversations or people get annoying 😳😬
i do a lot of networking, i like conversations with locals foreigners men women business owners street peddlers etc to build knowledge and understanding of different cultures
Walking Street and how it all works changes evolves stays the same the history the future the women the stories truly fascinates me.. like so many people i needed to see and be apart of it for a while, not forever tho
and editing is like art for me, most videos take 3-7 hours a day to produce/edit 👍
thank you 🫶
@@chubsDubC Amazing story! To me the best videos are when you stop and interact with the people, most other vloggers never really show the human side of WS, at least in a good way,. Your interaction with the Jeepney driver was excellent and a very unique video, your positive vibe got the people to drop their guard and show their true happy selves, a stark contrast to how they usually respond to a foreigner with a camera
thank you 🫶 and those vids are personally the most rewarding.. i was thinking that same thing today and will be bringing more of that 👍
congrats
More power to you my friend. You have admitted your problem, got help and now you are on the right path.
thank you Dave 🫶
Good video. The key with you and Ann is if you’re comfortable together. You know. Be careful there. Not a place to fall off.
When I change money they usually give me P1000.00 Where can I change those for 500 and 100
most establishments, restaurants 7-elevens the mall etc will be able to make change for you.. my atm (7 eleven) only gives me 1000s so i usually go back home and take a couple a day for food and necessities, the rest is locked safe in apartment 👍
Thx for sharing your story . Sad only the older generation like my parents understood marry someone is an eternal thing. Going through good and difficult times . People nowadays should not sign any marry paper. Anyway , you did the best desicion to move to asia . Just never be naive with the ladies out there. God bless
you are right, my limited marriage felt like a pressured into things with all the conversations about us and how long we had been together.. and my foggy perspective of things then i didnt know what i was doing 👍
everything is much clearer now and im taking advantage of life for me 😁
thank you 🫶
You are a good man "Charlie Brown." Keep up the good work - and perspective - after being here for 15 years - and starting coming since 1981 - i have seen so many others turn to alcohol - keep the faith my friend - Go Packers! oh - I think we won several super bowls - Viking Fan - you need faith - keep your head on - you are in our prayers ...
thank you Sir.. i dont see many here in the PH with the issues i was having but then again im not in the bars for hours like i used to be, if i am, there is usually a Witching Hour when the stories start to be repeated the people start to get glossed over and thats when i head out 👍
yep i will always be a Vikings fan even thru all the let-downs 🙏😬
@@chubsDubC I became of Packers fan sitting in Lambeau Field, freezing, and watching the Packers lose during the Bart Starr Head Coach years - I completely understand your loyaliity - keep at it! To me - that means you will be a loyal friend - not matter - take care - hope to be back soon to sit and chat - best to you and youurs!
Congrats on the 18 years!
thank you Sir 🫶
Twenty years. One day at a time.
Congrats 👍 one day at a time
❤❤❤great video explaining how you are doing and thinking. I noticed you have been very honest with yourself and your videos. I thought about you after learning about the Vikings. I was in Michigan growing up but liked the Vikings. Fran Tarkenton was a favorite QB. 3 Super Bowl games. My favorite NFL shirt love purple. Not sure if heard of Jordan Peterson but he is great man that helped thousands understand what is important to be a good person and help people with problems. (Everyone). I drank too much at college and after that. So I know what you are talking about. I got in trouble a couple times too. Luckily I stopped drinking while in Germany of all places but did drink beers a couple times and got drunk so easy to start drinking. I got married and had a baby so I was busy with him and the Army. Right there and then I decided no more for me.
So your story resonates with me. I got divorced too. I was in Philippines 🇵🇭 Clark 3 years ago and know the area and situation there. So we have a lot in common. I can relate with you growing up in Michigan and going to college. Working hard and getting your life together while it’s falling apart. Then moving away from home and friends. I enjoy the style of your videos and your content. Glad everything is going well with you and your plan. I also deal with anxiety and worry now so I know what you did is amazing and now you can relax live a simple lifestyle and enjoy your day. Much respect for you and your decision to pack up and go. I too am ready to make a change and go back to Clark for a little more relaxation. I need to downsize here not ready to sell everything and go like you did. ✌️🙏🏼❤️Greg M
thank you for the kind words 🫶 it feels good to not being looking over my shoulder wondering what stupid things i may have done the night before, and being honest with myself and those around me ..
keeping it real and living life to the fullest happy open and honest 👍
@@chubsDubC yep that’s the way to go. I remember checking my pockets to see how much money I had left and try to figure out how much I spent until my memory was lost. I would ask people what happened last night. One bartender told me dude you dance with every hot chick in the bar last night. I was like dang wish I could remember that. Like you said conversation lubricant and dance gasoline for me. I was hoping there would be some more dance clubs around walking street but not that many and the music is so loud. We had many live bands in Michigan and played cover songs. In Vegas we have /had a lot of pool parties which I enjoyed being outside and the the pool ambiance. Getting too old for dance clubs. I like all the roof top bars you have shown. I think hanging out at the pool and getting some sun would my cup of tea. Eating pizza 🍕 at the 69 bar or other places on the roof top with awesome views. For me that’s better than walking street. Thanks for keeping it real. ✌🏼Greg M.
yep the loud music gets annoying quicker these days but the pool parties and laid back chill sessions on the lake or rooftops is more my speed also.. 😁👍
Congrats on the sobriety!
Also, good advice on if someone is going there... to make it 2 weeks minimum. I would add to try and make it 28 - 30 days to take advantage of the 30 visa there.... and two weeks goes WAY too fast. For me it's 35 - 40 hours from door to door (leaving my house in the USA and arriving at the condo in the Philippines.) Also, handy tip.... fly biz class and you never need even a day of rest after arriving. The full night of sleep on the jet in the lie flat seat, as well as great food, all work wonders to help you feel good upon arrival.
Thank You Randy and yes all great advice, i did bump up to business class and know what your talking about, will be doing that again 👍
the excitement and anxiety of it all still sapped me energy but once here i rejuve’d rather quickly and hit the road running 😁
Sounds good but expensive. How much for the business class ticket mate?
@@davetherave1729 Depends where you're flying from. I'm probably in one of the worst places....central USA. I usually use my Delta miles to get to the west coast for miles, then I can usually find a flight to Manila with one stop in Korea for $4,200.00. Usually out of LAX or Seattle. I've found as low as $3,200.00 in the past. Philippine Airlines is the only one that flies direct from US to Manila that I know of... Usually between $4,300.00 and $4,800.00 and they run from LAX, SFO, JFK and Vancouver Canada from what I can tell. Minneapolis to Manila will almost always be 2 stops and between $6,000.00 and $6,500.00.
@@randy2874 sorry, not for me mate. 4200 dollars? I could get a economy flight, hotel for 2 weeks in Angeles City for half of that. If you enjoy business then good on ya. Maybe if my salary goes up to 100k a year it will be a option 😜😜
@@randy2874 I live in Dublin, Ireland. A business class ticket to manila would be about 2500 or 3,000 euros.
Power to you!!
thank you 👍😃
First things first......the Vikings came close to winning. Unfortunately the g men's qb was playing his best game all year. I think he ran for 70 plus yards on a playoff game which broke a record.
Congrats on beating alcoholism for 18 years. I have a son that can't shake his addiction for alcohol yet hopefully one day maturity and wisdom will take over to allow him to make better choices.
And last.....how did you ever decide to visit the Philippines and where you aware of their culture or has it been all an eye opening experience since you landed?
Vikes.. exciting ass year to say the least and those dam Giants always seem to have our number, boo
i feel for you about your Son, yes hopefully his light switch will turn on sooner then later 🙏 My parents didnt want to step on toes so we played the dont talk it game for years, i wouldnt have listened and wasnt ready til THAT day 👍
I was researching the PH and Thailand, parts of Mexico South America etc for 3 years (just before the Pandemic) as a place to retire at 65 but decided to pull the trigger before my physical abilities and motivations changed.. My PASSION for videography played a huge role as well.. no more “i wish i would have 10 years ago..” speeches, just do it! you can always go back if it doesnt work.. it will work 😁
Yes i knew what i was getting into here but there are some things i did not consider, at least theyre not big things and i have no regrets 😁🫶👍
Yeah I'm 64 years old I'll be 65 September this year I quit drinking five years ago I feel good I have a 38 year old girlfriend she doesn't drink which that makes it even better
good for you David 👍 less complications 😁 sounds like a great relationship
Good on Chubs , this was a great video mate , I so glad that you were able to give drinking alcohol , all the best on your journey in the Philippines .
thank you thank you, love the kind words 🫶
How did you stop?
almost a year of outpatient treatment and many years of AA, plus i knew in my head and i had known for years it was a problem 👍🙏
Great story bro!
thank you 😁
When I was there in the 80’s, the bars had complimentary cigarettes in glasses on the bar to have while we drank. It’s all so hazy.
wow free smokes too 😳 i can just imagine
Good on ya,keep your chin up,all the best.
thank you Manuel 🫶
I will be there in March I hope to see you and say Good' day.
yes yes.. reach out when you get around or stop by the Hot Spot on Walking Street in front of the Carousel/Centauro Bar around 10am-ish
2.4 is 3x the legal limit. I stopped drinking 2 years ago and don’t miss it. I feel too good in the mornings
august 1, 2005 MN adopted the .08 that most of the nation was already on board with.. it would have been automatic forfeiture of vehicle and mandatory jail time.. so i was 7 months ahead of the 3x
either way it was time for change!
Congrats to you on 2 years 👍!
Seeing and hearing people hungover now still brings me back to some of those ruff mornings 😬

No body is Perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.

JR needs a mascot to be a bigtime midget wrestler.. Maybe we get him that squeaking chicken you found in the Kmart store? So he wears it around his neck and when he does a full body slam on his victim off the top rope we get the super chicken yelling when he takes them out...??? Just a thought buddy... We saw Anne briefly in the airport going home. We went to Samar to visit Rozels family for a week and back now.. We just need a bar that will sponsor him and put JR in a winning situation against a ladyboy. bar girl, street kid, or another midget and we have a champ !!! Be safe!!
yes Anne did a video call from airport, i was wondering where you kids were off to again.. good for you 2 to get out n about
i like the jr chicken neck idea 😂 i think once we start running ads for competitors a bunch of shorties will come waddlin to the ring 😳 😜
@@chubsDubC Hope Anne gets back safe.. We had lots of rain down there but had fun thanks.. Yep.. I can see JR now doin the SUPER CHICKEN flapping his wings as he comes crashing down on his opponent from TOP ROPE!!! 1.2.3. ding ding It's over!!!
I stopped drinking on 1/1/1994 and I never looked back
awesome 🙏😁 im so happy for you 😁
it changed my life for the best and after that decision my life path became clearer
@@chubsDubC like you at first I thought I coul8have fun without drinking but I realized it's all in your mind, you can good time if you have the right friends with you.
I ever looked back
yes you can 👍 in college we all drank and it was a great time to experience tolerances, after college i hung with people who still pushed the limits, when i quit i found the right crowd and the true friends 👍😁
