- 🇺🇦What is the image that many of us Westerners have of the Slavic countries? Cold weather, stodgy food and gruff locals...well not in Ukraine where everybody seems to be extremely friendly and wanting to talk. OK but you were right about the weather though.
Daily Bald is the tv series whilst Bald&Bankrupt is the movie .
Daily Bald is like the TV Show extension of the movie (Bald and Bankrupt)
Its a TV show... and a movie
Better Call Bald
it's 10 min but feels like 3 min, wish it was 1h long
I will only accept the name "Daily Balder" when he starts uploading daily! Until then I am just a "Random Balder"
Sasha's gonna start a UA-cam channel, travel to Derby and be like "look, it's a capitalist coffee shop!" 😂
"Let's meet and try to hear some indigenous language speakers in a local native village in capitalist world, unfortunately I do not have a bag of tea and box of biscuits with me, which provide with awkward feeling when knocking on random peoples doors, while not exactly sober!"
"I have been to Derby"
"Did you like it?"
"No"
Standard response 😂😂😂
Anyone think the "coffee man's" sister isn't keen on his wife? 😂😂😂
Ben: "Remember, online trolling has real life consequences"
Tondians: "Yeah, you tell me...."
LOL! LOL! LOL!.. But do not forget the Moldovan's either.. They too had a bit of Ben action as well. Or was that Gabriel Traveler?
@@pianokeyjoe only thing I remember about Moldova is that they fixed their stairs after Ben's video. Public service ahahah
hehahahaha
@@carneiro5575 ha! Yeah I remember that too! But seems former soviet Union people are very friendly and humble which is what is the biggest attraction to me of such places. I will not lie.. I love the architecture of that part of the World.. And the MUSIC! Wooooo!
Poor Tondi hahaha
The Ukrainian man gonna start a channel and travel to many english speaking countries trying to find old british empire sink
😂😂
wtf, litterly a second before seeing your comment I was thinking about how cool it would be if there was a guy from post soviet country go and do a reverse bald in the west, looking for old capialist sinks
@@hiimetai7547 The rules of the internet say, that if you can think of it, there is someone already doing it. Google around, there is a plenty of Russians and Ukrainians doing exactly what Bald does. Traveling around and describing stuff.
Lol and old Victorian artifacts 😁
@@archimedes2261 I would watch that
That coffee guy was so nice and friendly. What a character!
Yeah Alexander seemed like a cool dude.
I love the Ukrainians they are so friendly and funny just a good lot of people! Hopefully I will get to travel to the Ukraine sometime! 🏴🇬🇧👍🇺🇦
'here we have equality!'
Turns around and gives her shit lol, excellent.
3:38 lol
I think the fact he did that is reflective of equality, no? i.e he's not afraid to have some banter with her because she's a woman.
Lol 😁
There are three certainties in life:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. Not passing a soviet mosaic without checking it out!!
Or a Soviet bus stop!
or a Soviet spoon
@@imaginationscene Don't forget the Soviet poo.
or a Soviet Sink
@@dylerturden8887 I felt that one🤣🤣
today's trip see a church. time spent in church: 4 seconds.
The interior of the church was outstanding. Too bad bald couldn’t video at least a minute. Perhaps next time there will be a mosaic 😀
9:45 This modern Orthodox icon is called the "Chernobyl Savior". It was conceived in 2003 by Yuri Andreev, the head of the Ukrainian Union of liquidators of the Chernobyl accident. In the upper part of the icon there are figures of the Virgin, Jesus Christ and the Archangel Michael, who leads the human army of the living and dead Chernobyl victims. In the lower part of the icon, in the foreground is the cruciform Chernobyl pine.
Thank you! This is what I came to look from the comments 👍
Thank you Павел Злобин
for explaining,
Can you make a channel called hourly Bald, daily is simply not enough 😂
I like that
Maybe he could go 24/7 like The Truman Show.
@@bravoninetyseven i would watch
Truman show but with Bald would be ideal
I need hourly updates on babushkas
“Online trolling has real life consequences.” lmao. I can’t get enough of this guy.
That was hilarious. I always feel a bit bad seeing Bald in clothes that are too thin for the weather. Converse sneakers in a Belarus swamp, oh dear.
"we're not gonna look at anything soviet today"
Bald you're fooling no one we know you too well.
Yes! Oh wait! There's a Soviet mosaic..of a Soviet girl sitting under a Soviet tree!
Our traditiotanal drinking game has become to down a shot of vodka everytime baldy says Soviet.
It's the most efficient so far to get shitfaced
@@DrCrabfingers with soviet weather too!
@@boobosao you can always rely on bald to help you out lol
I've been living in the UK for the last three years, you won't get a random friendly person treat you a coffee and interact with you like you've known each other for years. I often miss my Slav home...
This was such a heartwarming video and picture to see.
Thank you Bald for being such an amazing window to Eastern Europe
В нормальных странах не обязательно работать программистом чтобы быть человеком.
@Lets pretend everythings ok
Hi, friend, i'm not Ukrainian, i'm from Bulgaria but the reality of life in our home countries are extremely similar and i hold a lot of sympathy for my Slav brethren having even a Russian бабушка 💞🤗
@Lets pretend everythings ok
Брат, we love guests and all Slav friends. You would always be welcome when i'm there!!!
Considering the UK has a lot more foreigners than the rest of Europe, perhaps it's less of a novelty seeing one there?
One of the ikons in the church appeared to be dedicated to the "Liquidators", that is, the emergency crews who cleaned up in the initial stages of the Chernobyl disaster.
In Finance liquidators is a bad term for bad men 😁
I noticed that too. Super cool
Good find - I was puzzled at what the gas masks meant, but this makes sense.
Or COVID-19 predictive programming (Ukrainian equivalent of Denver Airport)
Because of your channel, among others like Peter Santenello’s, now I want to visit Ukraine. I wish Ukrainians a lot of prosperity and happiness. You’re on the good path. Greetings from a Brazilian in the Netherlands!
Thanks Marcio! Greetings from ukranian in the UK 😊
Obrigado! A warm welcome to you, hope and sure that you will visit Ukraine and enjoy your time ;)
you better don't do it in winter or autumn, end of spring is the best time, summer is also a great time to be here :)
Do it. As someone who was in love with Japan most of his life and spent a semester there, Kyiv has a charm that you won't find anywhere else. Its like people aren't worried about speaking their minds and doing what they want.
I love Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. Have been to Lviv at Christmas time. Beautiful city and the people were amazing
Kiev is one of my favorite cities ever. I was there in 2018 and totally loved it!
Sascha is a wonderfully jolly man! Inspiring!
Running on potato juice, no doubt.
@@bravoninetyseven or just yeast sugar and water
Hope the man's relatives in the UK see the video !!!!
The saddest part in Ben's videos is when he says "alright next time then" to people he will never ever meet again.
He’ll write another book I’m sure and we can all meet him on his worldwide book tour :D
they'll subscribe
But sometimes he does! Remember his return to the babushka in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone? So cool. (And had to hike to get there).
In England it's quite common to say goodbye using this words; even goodbye it's unusual, if u translate it properly ;)
@@dragosbarman9687 Bollocks, my Grandad brought me up to NEVER say goodbye, as it means that it might be forever. The only time I say goodbye to someone, is if I do not like them. When you say catch you later, or something similar, it is always more polite. I never said goodbye to anyone that I know that have died, especially my Grandparents. So to say that it is common is bollocks. We used to say cheerio, and things like that in the past.
Brits cultivated their tea-habit for centuries.
Some Ukrainian dude: "Your coffee is top notch!"
"The coffee is great over there" it's something that has never been said before this video referring to the UK
but is it true?
The coffee, the food and the weather. Britain is heaven on earth
Well, it seems drinking ukrainian coffee is not a good idea then.
Coffee in the UK is bad. This makes me worried to try coffee in Ukraine oh dear.
@@MistahDave92 in comparision to Ukraine the coffee in Britain is great haha in the east they only have instant coffee, and the cheapest one
"We're not going to look at anything soviet today"
30 Seconds Later: "Oh a Soviet Mosaic let's go look!
Because all of Ukraine was built during the Russian Empire and during the USSR. During the years of Ukraine's independence, nothing was built there, only destruction. Therefore, in Ukraine you can see only the old Russian Church and the Soviet of the building.
@@user-lj6md9ne9d yeah, but we knew he'd find something in any case!!
@@user-lj6md9ne9d I learned so much from your comment! 😊
Yeah, we all saw that coming!!
@@user-lj6md9ne9d Nothing was built in Ukraine during 30 years of Independence? Lmfao you're ignorant as hell.. Ukraine is much older than the Russian Empire btw, Moscow was a forest when the Kyivan Rus were a major metropolitan city, lol. Maybe they don't teach you that in Russia
All that way and just 10 seconds in the church?! As Bald always demonstrates, it's not where you're going but how you get there.
And who you meet along the way 😀
@@luminous3357 yes!
Would have been nice to have seen more of the orthodox iconography, not something you get if your a Protestant outside of cathedral's....
Quite often, the Orthodox churches do not allow to film inside. Could be, that he didn't feel like including the part where he was kicked out.
@@22terrytibbs you have the wonderful oportunity to go and see it yourself😉
Bald: How do you like English beer?
Dude: I love English coffee
For a man with nearly 3m subs across his 2 channels, you'd think he'd invest in a pair of winter boots for all this snow instead of just trainers haha
Everyone talking about his jackets but this man needs a real pair of winter boots or at least some winter shoes and nice socks lmaoo
His habit of jumpin into pristine snow a meter deep should make him buy Yakutian fur boots, no less
He once bought shoes from kalmykia.
a good ass scarf is the real gamechanger
His neon yellow beanie is rather epic too!
Bald will never cheat on his converse lol
Bald: “ I know nothing about religion...”
Also Bald: Religiously worships every Soviet sink he encounters😇🇻🇳
😂😂😂
Edit: don’t forget the Soviet snails! And Soviet birds in Soviet bird nests. And Soviet barbers who still roam around, apparently.
he is awesome
Old soviet Bus Stations are his churches ^^
Ukrainian people are so warm and friendly. Amazing!
Strang that I worked most of my life in Derby live ten miles up the road. In the early 1960's my Grandfather met a Ukrainian chap in the pub. he was a miner doing a dangerous job and he was paid good money. He bought my grandfather beer all night then offered him a lift home in his car (days when very few had cars). He said he had been living with a family my grandfather knew but their son had returned home and he was now homeless. My Grandad said they had a spare room and if grandma said OK he could stay with them. he moved in with them and stayed some time.
Lovely to hear
The people who shamed you yesterday are all from Tondi! :)
I think so🥺
Tondi living rent free in Baldster heads
Started watching you when you were at 28k subscribers in India on the main channel. Now you are in the country I was born in. You are a true legend! Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 😊 Thanks for doing what you do! Just be safe, some places you go to is insane even for native Russian speaker. ;)) I'm talking about some radical regions in Russia
Which regions you think about?
@@sstomic
Probably, he meant Galicia in Western Ukraine , where you can be beaten by local Nazi thugs for speaking Russian.
@@sstomic Igor is talking about North Caucasus. Many Russians refrain from travelling to those places because of the memories of the Chechen wars that happened in the 90s - 00s.
@@vulgarisopinio lol he explicitly said Russia.
@@geobanqueroute
Check Bald’s video from Chechnya and Dagestan. He has been there a number of times. Much safer than you think.
Love Ukraine I am actually moving to zaporozhye Ukraine 🇺🇸💙🇺🇦💛🇺🇸
Right now, I am sitting in a soviet bus station in zaporizhi Ukraine watching this video. Now all I need is a British accent.
Where are you going?
I am going to Kamianske. An Industrial city on the mighty Dnieper river. Very Soviet looking.
@@davechapman2585 wish you good luck in your trip
Thanks
Now that you've put Tondi on the map, they need to put "their Rock" on a pedestal, and have you come back and dedicate it...The Bald Rock of Tondi
If I was from tondi, I would put the rock as a sight on google maps haha
That’ sounds like a song
As an Estonian myself...amen to that!
@@Flyfan24 It has already been done. Search for the tram stop at Tondi on Google Maps.
Love 😍 your show, love Ukraine, greetings from Switzerland
HOW DARE THEY JUDGE YOU! That white jacket was swag AF. It definitely suits you Mr. Bald.
Ukraine - We are strong and Healthy, we cook meals after Working.
Other Countries - Why it is WorKING not WorkQUEEN
I wish I was as passionate about life as that bloke is about English coffee
I think he told about Irish coffee
I've played at many traditional folk music and dance festivals across Europe and can say the Ukrainian groups (we represent Irish music and dance) have consistently been the most friendly and warm people I have met every time. There is always a language barrier but they will be the first people to buy you a drink, ask about your life and be genuinely interested in getting to know you, your culture, and your music.
Here in Canada the most awesome people I know are my Ukrainian friends never a dull moment when I get together with them we always die of laughters and good times
I learnt Russian from these tutorials. I learnt how to pronounce "Babushka" , "Lenin" and "Rasputin" So far. Thanks professor!
Every time Bald says something to the likes of, "That looks so Soviet!", all I can think of is how much it looks like Washington, DC.
So glad you're doing episodes in Ukraine, such a beautiful country rich in history and culture! 💙💛🇺🇦Slava Ukraini🇺🇦💙💛
"Hope you- ᵇᵃᵇᵘˢʰᵏᵃ Hope you enjoyed today's Daily Bald!"
Haha I read that just as he said it
I'm like that with cats, cannot help getting excited whenever i spot one
That part made me lol
Soviet Babushka
That interaction with the guy that went to Derby was so wholesome.
"We're gonna go to a Church, we wont be looking for Soviet stuff today"
"Oh look a sex shop!"
What's up Mr. Bald. I tell you what, you have made many of my most boring days in the North Dakota oil fields better. Thank you. Looking forward to many more great adventures.
And it was -51 F. Today so I feel ya pain lol.🤣🤣🤣Yes I work outside.!
@@edwardhbrunerjr3512 Wow, that's cold!!! Stay warm!
@@edwardhbrunerjr3512 Americans thinking that everyone uses fahrenheit like them
I love the videos with lots of human interaction. Humans are good, I am human too
Hello there fellow human
@Name Name Breathing right now. Thinking about getting some water.
What are your favorite human traits? Mine are having emotions, coughing and watching TV shows
Welcome to Kyiv!!) Ласкаво просимо❤️
Your coffee friend is such a cool guy!
Even babushka's know who Bald is, so they greet him in english
Mans a real Babushka magnet
@@kunalphadte2674 lol
I love this shit. That's so funny that he was bothered by some grumpy old guy in the comments telling him to dress age appropriately.
the jacket was nice though. the grumpy old guy has no taste
Should we shame him into wearing a thicker coat and boots next?
Bald, have you ever been on Bald Mountain in Kiev? That would be epic)))) Bald on Bald
Bald: "You guys are mean; you bullied me for my jacket"
Me: "GET SOME *BOOTS* FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST"
YES! He's finally wearing a hat! Take care of yourself, Mr. Bald!
Stay young dress young
Yet hes jumping into knee deep snow in sneakers
next he'll wear decent shoes 🙈🙈🙈
Should we shame him into wearing a thicker coat and boots, next? Don’t want to hear that he got pneumonia later
Three whole layers of it, lol.
Never in a million years would I have thought Mr Bald could be shamed....
The gruppies are insulted by Bald’s last outfits 😁
Thank you so much for this. I spent a couple years in Ukraine as a church missionary back in 2003 and Chernigov was the first city I lived in while there. So many incredible memories. A wonderful city and people with incredible sights to see. Thank you for taking me back.
Great to see you travelling in Ukraine, Bald! Come to Vinnytsia, 3 hours by train from Kyiv. I'll be glad to show you my city. There's plenty of both Soviet and modern interesting places. I'm looking forward hearing from you!
Yeeeeeey!!! I love watching Benjamin walk around and explore and explain about his awesome journeys through СССР!
Sweet...
😁🛸🇧🇬
Damn that legend invited you to a coffee, he's so wholesome ❤
I don't know if others react the way I do to your videos, but I have found them so absorbing that my mind (admittedly, well into its 70s) actually has tricked me into feeling at times that I had actually just been in the former USSR and ambled about and talked to its people as you have. I made three brief trips to the former USSR in the early nineties just as the old order had collapsed, and my pre-existing love of all things Russian (and my politics) served to deepen my love affair. Your love of the mosaics, of the soviet aesthetic, is, I am sure,shared by many of your loyal viewers. Your work is extremely informative, but also at times extremely sad. So much effort wasted. Thank you for all of your efforts, tovarich. Spasiba bolshoye.
Ukraine looks beautiful.. Will definitely visit! Lovely people.. Greetings from 🇮🇳

Words brother, true words...
Don't let online haters stop you from dressing warm. Stay safe!
"We are not going to be looking at anything Soviet today, but instead look for something ancient and beautiful, so let's find an old church and appreciate it!"
Not just 5 seconds later :
"Look at this old Soviet mosaic! Wow!"
Western women: "We want equal treatment and jobs!"
Also Western women: "No, not like that!!"
Sacha the lad. How do you find these characters Bald? Bloody brilliant
just talk to people
There are plenty of these characters among the Ukrainians
@@polinamitrofanova6288 , you are one of them but from rushka
“Guys I know I said we wouldn’t talk about anything soviet, but....”
" it seems soviet everywhere...".
Slava Ukraine!
Well I can safely say the Ukraine 🇺🇦 comes across as a lovely few days away from the U.K. with such wonderful people 👍
I can see why Alexander didn't last long in England., his sister was teaching him some things to say to his wife.... 😂😂
When you reminded us that you are in your 40's, it made me smile, to see you explore in these videos with the energy and enthusiasm of a young buck is really inspiring - in particular to a young man not looking forward to getting older. Keep doing you!
Ukrainian man: runs to toilet
Bald: Content!!
No words to describe how much I love this channel !! Bald deserves a Knighthood !!
Missed the bus, 1 hour wait, 2 hour drive and back. What a legend.
Ukrainians are definitely very friendly. I should know, I am married to one and have been living in Odesa for ten years
I was very surprised how jovial they all were, despite the bleak weather!
Yes, but how friendly are they towards non-White people. Now that's a question worth considering. Daily Bald is White so his experience may be very well different than a non-White person may experience in Ukraine or other parts of Europe/Eastern Europe.
Ukraine has so many problems it's just not ready for your first world ones yet.
Unbelievable!!! This video starts from my wife's place where he passes our entrance. Now she lives in Australia and I'm in Moscow. I sent this video to her
I appreciate the captions of your conversations. My vocabulary is expanding. Spaceba, Ben ! Osha briatna. (see?)
Waiting for the soviet sink collection reveal.
It's interesting that the video starts off with "Let's go look at a church", and then 9 minutes later we see the church, get a quick pan of some of the interior and then an outro. Maybe the real church was the people Bald met all along.
Well he missed other two main churches that are older, larger and overall more impressive with other medieval historical buildings surrounding them. They were very close, and he did see their towers...
@@ligametis I guess his forte is Soviet things and not as many church things...
@@needfortweed8734 and yet those medieval churches are way more beautiful than all soviet buildings combined
@@aggelos8256 that is probably true.
Every time I watch both Balds you inspire me to keep up my study of Russian. Thanks Ben!
Hey Ben, If somehow you end up in the eastern Ukraine, there's a really cool monument in Slavyanoserbsk, where a russian, ukrainian and a serb stand together with a message written below them about brotherhood. This would be really cool to see, since no one ever been there to film it (I mean to make vlog). Keep it up Ben, we love you man! 🎩
Im from smolensk. Thank you for mentioning us!
Bald: Let's not look at Soviet stuff.
Also Bald: wooo. Soviet snow, Soviet mosaic, Soviet babushka
*deep inhale* aaah, soviet air.
When he was born, his first three words were Soviet, Vodka nd Babushka !😁
everything he shows us is awesome
To be fair he missed the main church that was very close to the one he visited.
Your videos help keep me humble and also lift my spirits. Wonderful seeing how others live and making them more relatable.
Daily Bald has become my daily therapy during lock down!!! And I’m grateful for it 🙏🏽. Keep’em coming
Shout out to the lad who had the chance to visit Great Britain and only went to Derby. Could have at least gone down and seen Big Ben.
Oh shit... he's back for a coffee now. Gotta watch this!
You should also visit Kazakhstan too, greeting from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Imagine a channel just travelling around the world getting drunk with the local yobs 😂😂
@@Clan501-Scotland That’s a great channel idea, lol. This has been my life, why haven’t I been filming? 😅
We try to never miss your videos, wherever you go. Excellent always -- even Tondi! Always eye opening and mind broadening. Thanks for going into the world with open eyes and heart. And sharing your adventures with us. (Your torn jacket? Where's a babushka when you really need one)?
What a beautiful church! Was lovely to see some culture! Thank you
i thought your posts on this channel will be 5 minutes or shorter. im not disappointed im a little more happy.
Much love from Brooklyn, NY. Your videos are the best on UA-cam.....and your white jacket was perfectly fine! :-)
Man I just love your videos. I find comfort in watching them - appreciate them so much wish I could join you
Nice video.
Hello to you and Kiev!
Beast regards from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Women that will shovel snow and cook? You have restored by faith in humanity. Thank you.
Well in eastern Europe it can be a lot more traditional. Like women cleaning and cooking while men make the money and are supposed to be tough and know how to fix things.
ukrainian women are also beautiful. seriously, go to Kyiv - hotties EVERYWHERE. and I mean they are naturally beautiful. not caked in makeup with fake everything.
Of course Sasha wasn't going to let you pay, he thought you needed the money to buy a new jacket...
Fair play for making a second channel, i been a subscriber since your start, absolutely love your content, your so down to earth, and have a decent sense of humour, stay safe Ben, look forward to upcoming content. Richard Warner Coventry UK xx
5:27 Ah. Must the infamous rick and morty coffee joint of Ukraine.
good catch, you can just barely see it on sasha's cup
