Calvin is really a stand up guy.
Thanks Mark.. Calvin is a great guy.. I met him in Bangkok airport June 2022.. A real straight shooter who would give anyone the shirt off his back.. He's doing alot of good for the less fortunate.. A very admirable man..
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
How could anyone dislike this dude!? Calvin was the first Philippine vlogger I ever watched. Utmost respect for him and what he does to help locals! He’s also great and honest with us subscribers. I hope to make it to his guesthouse one day. Keep living your best life brother!! Thanks Mark for having him on. 😊
Thank you for watching and for your kind words
He was my 2nd, but he is the only one I still watch! Good interview.
no one is hating on Calvin. We just experienced a bad side of himself that you've never seen before.
And that's the truth. You can't speak for us. You can only speak for your own experiences with him.
@@Dapper_Dean You are entitled to your opinion.
Didn't take me long. The racism stuff was a bit of a red flag, but I went and subscribed and then the first thing I watched was a recent livestream. I was really surprised. He has a real chip on his shoulder, buys into a narrative of people who seek to divide us. For those who say he's got wisdom, I saw very little. Came across as bitter and resentful, was railing against Christianity, and I just have a moral difference from him when it comes to women. Maybe he does a lot of good, and that's great, but he didn't come across then as that guy and he's already lost me.
This man accomplishes things! Moved to the PI. Built a business. Built a house. Gives tons to charity. Walks 171 km for others. Respect.
Calvin is the real deal. I have been a sub of his pretty close to the beginming. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is as humble as a man can be. His advice is invaluable and heartfelt and sometimes brutal, but necessary. lol
I love how at the end of every video he emcourages the viewers to help someone.
Thanks for having Calvin on, Mark.
Calvin is an awesome dude doing his best with what he's got ! Not enough people are doing as much to help people. What a world it would be if a lot more people were willing to do that ? Many are able w/o the willingness to actually serve others. -- Congrats to Calvin and you too Mark for putting him out there like this for so many to perhaps be inspired by his works.
Mark very nice to see you and Calvin together, I am here in Louisville too.
Without an iota of doubt ,Calvin is an amazing guy.Not only streetwise,kindhearted but his actions speak for itself .u guys are an inspiration to other foreigners.God bless.Cheers
Thank you for watching and for your kind words
Thanks for interviewing this cool dude!
Wow! Excellent. I am glad you finally got to interview Calvin!
What an inspirational video this was, Mark. I've heard of Sunshine Shoulders before, but have never looked into it... why I don't know. Super nice guy with a huge heart. Life doesn't get any better than that. Mark from Dallas
Mark, you just interviewed a very fine gentleman, "Sunshine Shoulder". Calvin is in his own league in the TH-cam world. On September 11 (last week), from Dumaguete, I took a six-hour bus ride up to San Carlos to visit Calvin. Cavin was a gracious host. A real down-to-earth man. I stayed overnight in a small style apartment. Everything was perfect. The apartment room temperature made my visit very comfortable. Calvin gave me an opportunity to be interviewed by him for Calvin's channel. A day or two before visiting Calvin. I visited Ground Zero (I love Ground Zero) and you were there, but I did not want to disturb you because you were in company with 5 other ex-pats. We were facing each other a few feet away. Since February 1977, I have been all over the Philippines. I found Dumaguete City the friendliest Filipino people & ex-pats in the Philippines. Finally, I'm back home in Yokohama, Japan. Next year I will return to Dumaguete City again. Thank you for interviewing Calvin. Semper Fi.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience 😊
Good visit, Mark. Have been following your walk Calvin. Cheers.
That's right about charities. I remember that was a big issue several years ago with some expat channels. You can't operate a charity in the PH without registering it with the government.
I ended up on the phone with Calvin to discuss a community service project I had in mind and he couldn’t have been more generous with his sharing of information. Not one thing was mentioned about how he could benefit. He wanted to make sure that my thinking was realistic, legal (charitable services always get a lot of scrutiny due to fraud) and that I was also careful to protect myself in the process. No matter what people think from watching a few videos, when that camera is turned off, this man is kind, humble, generous and passionate about making a contribution to the lives of others.
Nice to see this interview Mark, what a lovely intelligent, humble and generous man Calvin is, especially for what he’s doing for the Filipino people,…once again, congratulations Calvin 👏
the best ..sunshine shoulders...😊
A lot of you guys are great, but I really like Calvin, he's like a instructor in living a good life.
Excellent video Mark love Sunshine Shoulders and your channel Mark great interview 👌🏾
Thank you 😊
Boots on the ground Calvin. I’ve been watching him for a long time. A super nice guy with great inside about the Filipino culture.
I'm a fan with of Calvin. Always watch the channel. Boots on the ground!

Mark I been watching your channel for a while, and Calvin knows I have watched his channel for years with that said this was a conversation that needed to take place. Even though you both don’t live in America it’s great that y’all came together to have a conversation. This is what life is about meeting people and finding common things with in us all because we truly are one. I can’t wait to meet you both in the future.
Thank you for watching and I look forward to meeting you some day.
Been subscribed to Calvin for some time and really enjoy his perspective on life.
Glad that you had Calvin on here Mark. I've been following both of you from the start and your channels are still putting out great content.🏝️
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
I'm glad you two brothers are talking again, great video content gentlemen!!!!!!
Calvin is a great man and genuine. He is a true inspiration.
LoL, NO way.
Good for you, Calvin!
What a great interview!!!
Love Calvin
Great interview, Calvin, the man!
I watch Calvin’s channel also and he seems like a great person who has a big heart.
This is one interview I was had been longer! You guys are both interesting and full of insight
Thank you so much
I can't wait to get to the Philippines! Calvin is an amazing person!!!
facts Calvin!!!! As a man in the USA who loves his country im saddened at the Racist and hate our country is showing daily and the political division is because of hate,fears and ignorance!!! its horrible and I pray for change. P.s Calvin without sounding condescending im extremely proud of you! ❤🎉
Thank you for watching and for your kind words of support
The media claims of racism is the problwm,there's not a lot of racism actually going on..
@@Rocket9944 ...Agree. Racism towards white conservatives is the deal these days.
mark, it's nice to have Calvin on your you tube channel. congratulations, Calvin for inspiring hope thru your long walk from San Carlos to Dumaguete.
Excellent interview. Love sunshine shoulders❤
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Great interview. I love watching both you guys. I like how transparent Calvin is with everything
I'm from LOUISVILLE, Kentucky too but I'm still here since 1986 I'm heading to the Philippines ASAP once I get things situated here.
Look me up when you get here markfthornton@yahoo.com
Another great interview Mark! I like it when Calvin said "We are in the 4th quarter of our life" May as well start to do the things we always dream of.
Great interview Mark!!! Calvin is from Louisville….think about that….you are from Terre Haute, crappy Paul is from Indianapolis, I am from Jeffersonville IN…..hell…..most Philippines vloggers are from Indiana or nearby 😂
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great Video.. I really enjoyed.. 🙂🙂
I'm glad you liked it 😊
2 epic people I always would say one of the most honest and straight up guys is Kelvin great interview loved it!
Hey Mark great video. Calvin is the GOAT! That guy is someone I hope to meet when I get to the Philippines 🇵🇭. You know people only came after him because he was doing something good for others. Those people are called “haters”. They can’t do whatever he is doing and are hating on the fact that God has put him in a place to help others and not them! Great interview Mark keep up the good work my friend. Oh and I hope to see you also when I get there. Take care my friend. 👍🏽🙏🏾
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Perfect interview Mark , realy made Calvin real ! I respect him just as I respect you, what a character! Go on Calvin with the good work , greetz from Holland , 🎉Arnold
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Calvin get's a lot of haters and I kind of jumped on that wagon. He's lookin sharp and a good guy! Man I built a nice chicken coop and run in my backyard and got a neighbor hater. Hahahaha
no one is hating on Calvin. We just experienced a bad side of himself that you've never seen before.
And that's the truth. You can't speak for us. You can only speak for your own experiences with him.
Calvin is my favorite you tuber! Great interview!
To be successful on TH-cam, your subscribers follow you due to the content of your vlogs, and the subscribers read speak english which does not exist in other countries no read no speak english. Filipinos enjoy reading and following your channel because of the informative contents specially videos of places you visited. Continue the good work and your charitable work.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊
A Foreigner in the Philippines was absolutely harassed in that same way for just trying to help people
True, and the harassment went on for years. Terence was fearing going to jail.
Omg i thought he was in bicol or somewhere. Hey hope you are well man. We used to watch you from michigan b4 coming to PI. Gonna look your youtube up again.
My full respect for Calvin for changing his own life and for the good he does there. Can't wait to meet him in person one day soon.
I’ve watched Calvin @Sunshine Shoulders for a few years but this interview, Mark & Calvin, raised my respect level for you both. Calvin, respect brother. I admire what your heart leads you to do in the new homeland. Mark, you are an awesome interviewer and have a world of experience. To both of you, keep on keeping on: Be You, Do You, Love You, and change the world for good without even trying. Love and Respect and see you both soon. Jim from California🙏🏼💜🇵🇭💖🇺🇸
Thank you for watching and for your kind words of support. Your comment made my day ❤️

This planet needs more people like Calvin. Warms my heart.
😂😂 tell that to all his kids deserted serial womanizer self admitted ex crack head
Kentucky pride!
Calvin the trolls are crazy. They get joy from making a rude negative comment. Whereas you get joy from helping other people that need help. Great job. Great guys.
Good interview, Great to see Calvin on your channel.
Great interview Mark, a genuine nice guy.
I really enjoy your channel and Calvin's channel. Your interview skills are spot on. Really enjoyed the interview. All the best to you and Jen.
I'm also from and now living in Louisville, KY.
Good interview.
Mark, very interesting interview with Calvin. He is a realist like you Mark, thank you.

Calvin is 1 of my favorite TH-camrs. Good dude. 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep fighting the good fight Calvin! 🙏
Awesome vir. Thanks for sharing. I follow you both. I have traveled there many times and hope to relocate in retirement within the next three years. I hope to run into both of you someday. God Bless.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
I was hoping something like this would happen; one of you interviews the other. Enjoyed it. Thanks
Calvin is such a great guy.
Great to finally have him on!
That walk was epic 🎉
Hey Mark..... new subscriber here. Was listening to SS channel about his walk and he mentioned this interview with you. Great interview. Just want to support your channel. BTW, great interview...... I'll be in the island next month maybe I'll bump into you.
Thank you for watching ☺️ Please look me up if you visit Dumaguete
Awesome video Mark
Great Stuff... the 2nd coming of Moses, the Prophet has spoken... Thou shall NOT... Covet. just live and let live...
Well said my friend. Thank you for watching ☺️
👍👍❤😁
Calvin you are a great man. Thanks for helping the PH people. Two great v loggers. Great interview.
Mark, great conversation. This comment isnt about the interview with Calvin specifically, but today's video inspired me to comment. Been watching you for a while. Honestly, I initially wasnt sure I liked you much. But the more I've watched, the more I've realized your a really decent guy who takes a genuine interest in people and treats everyone with respect. Even when you probably disagree or have different views, you are understanding and seem to find common ground. That's what we need more of these days. Unfortunately, I'm not in a situation where I expect to be in the Philippines anytime soon (been twice on business). But if that day ever comes, I look forward to a cup of coffee with you.
I really appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts 😊
SS has a great attitude here. Glad you got outta that crack stuff. wow what a new life in Phil's; who says dreams don't come true?
Im subscribed to both of your channels your both great Im moving to the Philippines soon Im from Pikeville Ky.
Look me up when you get here
sure will thanks
You know Mark I use to follow Calvin's channel. Then I heard him say somethings that bothered me a lot concerning his attitude about the Philippines
and Filipinas and then I could not watch him any more I am not going to go into a deep dive into it but all I will say is that it took me over 3 hours to watch
this video because there are so many contradictions in it that are disturbing. I am glad that you did this interview because it solidified what I felt about
listening to him. I wish you the best for you and Jen and your new addition that is coming. Would if I were you do some more investigation about getting
social security for your future child. From what I understand you will be able to get social security for your child and Jen will also be able to get it
until your child turns 18. If you would like I would gladly forward some information to you in a email for your consideration. Take care.
P.S.
Or you can get the information from "Crew Family Philippines" I sent him some informational videos also.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. I'm up to speed on Social security.
I thought I was the only one who lost respect for Calvin. I see many people still enjoy watching him. But I'm not going to knock them for that, because they've never noticed his bad side. But I see you've noticed too. Oh well, 2 less subscriber for that clown. 🙄
@@Dapper_DeanOh i could write a book on this hustler .
@@Dapper_DeanI’m curious on the bad side your referring to
You should have seen the look on Calvin's face when he found Mark lived in Louisville Ky
what a great follower...." what's your first name? Is it Calvin? "yeah its Calvin" 🤣🤣🤣
Great job, and outlook. I really want to get over there.. All i have to do is figure out how. The last jet i ever boarded was June of 1973. Albany, Ny. to Chicago, and then Denver. Pretty scary ride times 10, for me. Perhaps a cargo ship. That could be 50 day trip...This could be interesting. Also Do cargo ships come in to Mindanao?
So much respect to you Calvin.. You have a good soul. Thanks for showing us how giving back to people is important. And you are an inspiration to us for the walks that you do. But please be careful walking on the highways.
Thank you for your kind words of support
What a great guy ! Just clicked to his channel and it says no content ?
The legend®
Such a delightful gentleman. Even if you don't always agree with him, and in spite of what the trolls do or say, none of us can't deny that he's a huge champion of the Philippines.
no one is hating on Calvin. We just experienced a bad side of himself that you've never seen before.
And that's the truth. You can't speak for us. You can only speak for your own experiences with him.
Thank you 😊
@@Dapper_DeanJust curious, when you say “experience” are you referring to physically meeting him or are you referring to seeing him on TH-cam and not liking his content?
Hi MARK , such a POWERFUL interview , this man is an role model to many people.
I watch his channel and am moved by his words.
TY GOD BLESS CIAO
Calvin has been kind and generous for years. Those who are not kind and not generous are so envious/jealous of Calvin’s innate goodness. Is it wrong to share one’s blessings?
The red sea open up for Calvin because people realized that you are true to the fact that your true and honest so that is probably why the red sea open up
Two of my favorite TH-cam personalities
Thank you 😊
Wow you retired and u a good people
