    The juxtaposition of dude opening up about his mum and then the 3 guys carrying the bag of rice was something else.

      that scene made me cry and laugh at the same time, made me remember the time i lost my mum while noticing the absurdity of life around me keep being absurd.

      You just never know what someone's going through.

    was worried when the channel didnt post for a while, everything about this is genius, the non judgmental contrast and giving equal weight to each persons life , the interviews ablity to detach and reenter the scene, the effects , the exosition shots , the people in the exposition shots , i coulnt tell if the looking at the script and having a lot of cuts was an artistic decision so more or that or less of that, i just hope to see you guys boldly pursue the artisc vision you have

      Same same. These lads are producing something special. Upgraded my patreon with high hopes they keep it up.

    Another classic, so interesting getting to learn a little bit about random fellow kiwis just living their lives. Thanks for the video.

    "sinkin longies n smokin' bongies" a quote to truly live by.

    damn that dude that lost his mum hit different. Great video.

  • @Chester69
    @Chester69 2 ปีที่แล้ว +65

    Awesome episode, great to hear other perspectives. Funeral home girl has some great takes, rooting for her to get the last third and beyond.

  • @mattholwood
    @mattholwood 2 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Damn, 6:48 was rough, god speed brother. Awesome video guys - well worth the 5 bucks on patreon.

  • @leo-2145
    @leo-2145 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Loved the setting in the archives. This vid was so good, it really feels like you guys are at the vanguard of on-the-street journalism and film. Letting people say what they have to say and not interfering while also remaining empathetic and warm (as shown in the end) is a fine balance, and you guys really do demonstrate it perfectly. Keep up the good work.

    So cool what you guys are creating, glad you've got a sponsor too!

  • @JasAS27
    @JasAS27 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Its strange but content like this is so refreshing amongst all the protests, global politics, and other stressful shit going on right now, its just fresh to see people being people.

  • @jakuars
    @jakuars 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Thanks again guys. It's eye opening seeing other random Kiwi experiences without the traditional journalistic spin. We all have a story to tell no matter how small or redundant.

  • @ThatguyFalcone
    @ThatguyFalcone 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    The lads with their bag of rice coming up the street in the background. That's it. It can't get much better than that.

  • @mutantaxolotl
    @mutantaxolotl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Y'all are so underrated-- just makin beautiful videos about people being people thank you for doing what you do

  • @robnorf7454
    @robnorf7454 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I'm from America so it's so interesting to see a slice of life like this, so similar yet different from what I typically see. Keep up the banger content dude!

    • @coldns1ck
      @coldns1ck ปีที่แล้ว +1

      id say this channel has the most accurate depiction of New Zealand ive seen online haha

  • @kryaal
    @kryaal 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

  • @jakemclachlan6271
    @jakemclachlan6271 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This very refreshing on TH-cam. Real content. Throws me back to the to TH-cam 5 years ago. Real stories that are interesting. Keep it up

    crazy production value

  • @Zade_95
    @Zade_95 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    This was fantastic, you guys did an awesome job. The way you had edited the end with the guy's birthday and the student really made me quite emotional. You're doing great work. If you're ever in Christchurch and need an extra videographer or drone guy, I'll give you guys a hand for free. Keep it up!

  • @mightymoaman2485
    @mightymoaman2485 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is the sort of stuff I love to see. Not bait interviews where people are just constantly screaming, proper insights into people and places. Love it guys!

  • @cheonnaise
    @cheonnaise 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I never take the time to comment on any youtube videos but your channel is so refreshing, I love the open and understanding conversations regardless of the person's ethnicity, race, age etc. Reminds me of Louis Theroux in a way. Great balance of comedy and serious topics. Always interesting how comfortable people are talking to complete strangers, often seems easier to open up.

  • @farkinoath7272
    @farkinoath7272 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Can’t wait to see this channel blow up one day love how raw and straight to the point the interviews are talking bout some real authentic ass shit

  • @thursday6479
    @thursday6479 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this chan. The whole philosophy is so pure and human driven. The human experience. It doesn't feel invasive really. Just subtly fills me with wonder about humans. Sonder is the word(just remembered it)

    @TechBug2012 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    this is your best video yet, imo. stunning work of art. i loved learning more about the lives of each person as it went on. the tapes in the library separating each theme was incredible. keep doing what you're doing 💛

  • @poetofthestreets
    @poetofthestreets ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the whole format of this video! Also really love the idea of interviewing and hearing stories from strangers on the street. I like to do something similar and write stories based off things I learn, see and hear in my city
