I swear, either you just find the best people for It's Alive, or Brad brings the best out of people and makes them feel absolutely comfortable in no time. Probably both. Especially in Goin' Places, everyone always seems so companionable and happy. Love it.
@@Lora705-L Thanks so much for asking, yes honestly just picking up trash on the beaches you visit even if you didnt leave it would make a huge difference. Thats the side of hawaii people dont show you at the end of every beach access the bags of trash left on the ground by visitors.
@@roselolagne6642 This!! Use those ABC store bags and hit the beach to pick up some rubbish! Make sure to take it back to the hotel to throw away if you can't find a rubbish can somewhere.
As someone of Pacific Islander Maori descent, the end where they sang and ate really filled me with such joy. Thank you so much for this beautiful, respectful celebration of culture and the world we live in
@@JatzWilson I understand! I was just saying that I dont come from the culture, just as you were saying you did. I totally appreciate you guys, more culture need to think about sustainability of the land
SilverWolf_1999 oh no I was just commending you! I absolutely love that people from everywhere can feel that connection because we all share the same soil in one way or another. Blessings to you :))
This episode brought me to tears. It reminded me of my time WOOFing on the Big Island in Hawaii a few years ago and the many lessons I've learned. WOOFing is when you volunteer and work on a farm in exchange for food and shelter. The Hawaiian people's reverence for the Aina and the deep spiritual and ancestral connection they have with the earth is a powerful reminder of who we are and what we should do. Aina translates to "land, soil, dirt," but it also means, "that which feeds," and it is an intrinsic part of Hawaiian culture. I love love love this episode so much. In these trying times where politicians are denying climate change and everything seems hopeless, when all we can focus on is the negativity and the many ways in which we are depleting Mother Earth of her magnificence and abundance, this video brought me to tears because it's exactly what we need to see. People restoring the connection between us and the earth. It reminded me of what I need to do. They said it said well in the video, "it's not about what happened, but what you're going to do about it. It's about how you're going to create change." With my utmost gratitude, mahalo.
idk what happened, I am sitting here watching this, then they all sang and ate together, and now I am just crying. Nothing was sad here, but almost feel mournful for what we have lost as humans. I am literally about to quit my job making maps and go become a farmer because this stuff just feels right. Working hard to just live, that is how we got this far in the first place.
I’ve been watching UA-cam as a whole for about 13 years now and I can confidently say BA is such a special place on this platform. Brad warms my heart. Thank you for making this series.
Whenever I see one of these hawaii episodes I can’t help but think that this is how human living should be! Great episode and great wisdom from all those beautiful people
Brad is so respectful and genuine It’s so refreshing! I feel like a true artist appreciates other people’s art. He radiates good guy energy. The Bob Ross of food! Also, hot
This Hawaii series is sooo amazing, it does so much to open people's eyes to the issues that are in this "paradise" for the native people of the islands, while also illuminating their traditions and community power and their progress towards having healthier soil, food usage, and as a result, people.
Honestly as a Native Hawaiian its so nice to see my people and culture portrayed in a "real" way. And I'm so appreciative that they found real, local guides and farms to visit as well. He's just so respectful and eager to learn; its really refreshing compared to some tourists we get out here
From what I've seen you can fix things when cooking if it starts to go wrong. With baking if something goes wrong once you've started it's time to start over.
Cooking ia absolute baller only when you cook at home. Work wise, depends on how frequented the Restaurant is you're working in. If you don't have to stress it, it's baller. If the Restaurant is full, it can turn into Hunger Games: Kitchen Version pretty fast. But that's also up to how well your crew works together.
Its really refreshing to see videos that celebrate and participate in indigenous roots instead of distantly "viewing" and "observing". We need more of these human to human documentaries in the world T_T
What a wholesome and meaningful episode. Loved the scenes at the end where the prayer was superimposed ontop of the shots of people eating and enjoying each other's company. Really shows you what life should be about.
@Defqon they used different tools and clothing before people invaded them. obviously they are gonna use steel and cloth now because it's easy to use, socially acceptable, durable etc. it's usually a subset of a certain group always messing stuff up because of greed, the one thing these people always have in common is that they are rich and they take far more than they need, because they can. people are divided by class more than they are divided by race these days, that wasn't always the case but it is now
Defqon but Hawaii was illegally overthrown. The queen was overthrown by white people and the native Hawaiians were killed off. Yes i agree we need the things that are imported here but i think the Native Hawaiians could’ve agreed to something where the Islands didn’t have to be i’ll shelly overthrown in order to bring in goods and the whites take the land
"Sounds like Hawai'i was a paradise and people came and screwed it up. I mean, that's the human story. It's not about what happened but what you can do about it and how you're gonna make a change."
All day everyday, baby. I study fungus, practice kindness and look for ways to help my community. I think that's a good start that all of us are capable of.
I have to thank BA for showing me Brad and the It's Alive series. This is honestly one of the best shows on UA-cam. I love learning from all these wonderful cultures and traditions and the way you guys approach and present it is beautiful. I wish I could go on these adventures one day. Love y'all. Bon Appétit.
The way that Brad reacts to new things is probably his most underrated quality. Interested, yet not incredulous. It's a quality I aspire to have some day.
Brad, I love what you guys are promoting. If you ever want to come to Michigan we would love to put your crew up in a hotel and show you how we grow and what we do to make organic gardening more accessible to anyone who wants to give it a try. Hit us up!
i 100% love how educational this series is, and how it’s all very relevant information. i adore how real these videos are as well as entertaining and inspiring! thank you bon appetite, this show has been such a treat!
Love these hawaii episdoes, they're so damn wholesome. And for someone going through a very rough time in my life atm, hearing that man say that "it's not what happened, it's what you can do it about it" really opened my eyes. Maybe i can change my thought process, of whats happening. Thank you for the video(s)!
About shed a tear at the last few minutes.. the song prayer lapsed over the footage of everybody enjoying the fruits of their labor was just so touching.
Brad is the perfect person for these, he has so much raw enthusiasm, energy and a love of food. If he could, he'd just spend the day in those fields, snacking like a fresh veggie buffet
brad you gotta come to new zealand and get into some kiwi kai! also, other pacific islands! the nicest, most genuine and caring people with absolutely beautiful and simple foods
brad make me so happy, this dude can go from making chocolate to farming beats and he can make friends with anyone fom differnt parts of the world in totally differnt environments. bigs up brad. youre a genuinely amazing dude.
Brad out here eating radishes while Claire is going through midlife crisis lmao Edit: before someone starts WW3 in the replies, its a meme. No one is going trough midlife crisis. You would obviously you know its a joke if you have been watching this channel
Midlife crisis? Having a meltdown under pressure does not fit the definition of a midlife crisis. She's also far too young for a midlife crisis... I don't know how old she is but I'm thinking early 30s.
I love this series so much. The places you go, the people you meet, and the cultural practices you learn really drive home the importance of sustainable food production. I thank you for not shying away from showing the effects, both positive and negative, that invasive species, industrialization, and the legacy of colonialism have had on what we eat, how we produce and eat it, and the significance food has in our lives. It's really, truly beautiful. xxx
I work in IT but my real goal is to save up to start my own farm. It seems like something that's much more relaxed, practical and self-sustaining life decision in the long-run, compared to the constant grind of the workforce. This video was very motivating to me.
Having these episodes based in Hawaii was such a treat. It was absolutely amazing to see the culture, food, the beautiful people and Brad interacting with everyone. Thanks Bon Appetit!
As a proud Hawaiian, I am so thankful for you Brad, for not only having the utmost respect for my culture, but for being a part of it and showing a whole different side of the Hawaiian culture (that is not often portrayed in media) to others. Mahalo nui loa e Brad. It’s Alive has always been one of my favorite series, but now, it is definitely number one and you have truly gained my respect and gratitude.
It feels so tangible, the reverence and respect for all the wildlife and the land. If I ever have the chance to visit Hawaii, this is totally how I'd want to experience it 🧘
A nice gesture, and one I'm all for, but frybread, which has its origin with the Navajo, not the Sioux, is the end result of the Navajo being displaced from their homeland and supplying them with government-issued food stuffs. (If I burst your bubble, I do apologize.)
My mom works as a dietitian for a local tribe in Louisiana, it's a small one but still federally recognized. Whenever the health clinic at the tribe would put on health events for the community I would go with her and help her/volunteer. It's absolutely amazing and I am in awe of Native American culture. I love their language. They speak their language very fluently but unfortunately it's at risk of dying out. Their language is so beautiful. And yes there is an old lady who makes fry bread and it is delicious. It's horrible that it has such tragic origins but I still believe it should be respected as one of their dishes, even with its tragic origins.
@@littlemissbekah9722 Hey, My family is Louisiana creole. I've been trying to track some of the origins as all our elders have just about passed and don't wanna talk about the past so I'm tryna do what I can. What is the name of the tribe? What parish is it located by? As I know they have there own lands. Thanks!😊
one of the best things about these videos isn't just the respect and enthusiasm Brad brings to every video and culture he gets the chance to visit and explore, but the respect in the editing, like the parts with the chants and singing some people would either cut out or barely show, but they keep a full minute + of each part, and it just shows how different Brad and all the BA crew bring and i love it so much
This is my home. Hawaii is such a beautiful and abundant place to live from the land. It brought tears to my eyes that Brad and the producers showed everyone what can happen in the future. It isn’t difficult to do what they are doing. This is beautiful.
These videos make me tear up. It's so wonderful to see the sense of community, the respect for the land and what it provides, and Brad's genuine interest and joy learning from the people of Hawaii.
Love how Brad can't stop himself from sharing his love for garlic. Adorable
Didnt talk about crushing it to release that allicin...its good for you, "I believe".
I want someone to make a video compiling all of the times he’s lovingly talked about garlic
@@hayleerodriguez2711 There was one episode where they did a quick-cut compilation of every time he talked about allicin, close enough.
lol Brad would talk about his love for garlic to a rock. he's so funny.
So, it's like a two part epoxy.
He's like Brad long lost twin they are like two golden retrievers
Two Golden Retrievers Host a Food Show
A golden retriever and a chocolate lab!
When he said "Shucks" I need they were kindred spirits
hella wholesome love these boys
Dang it, so true, they so much positive energy, love it.
I love when Brad meets people who radiate the same wholesome, goofy dad energy as him 💖
I swear, either you just find the best people for It's Alive, or Brad brings the best out of people and makes them feel absolutely comfortable in no time. Probably both.
Especially in Goin' Places, everyone always seems so companionable and happy. Love it.
He does make the show.his character what's he's about brings that somthing special that others do not
The world would be a better place if everyone approched different cultures with the same amount of respect as Brad
amennnnn a lot of people come here and just want the beach pics
Brad's a Tony Bourdain type.
True
@@Lora705-L Thanks so much for asking, yes honestly just picking up trash on the beaches you visit even if you didnt leave it would make a huge difference. Thats the side of hawaii people dont show you at the end of every beach access the bags of trash left on the ground by visitors.

Why is the farm manager just Hawaii’s version of Brad?
Nah thats just what we in Hawaii call a “braddah” it’s just how some of our guys are.
They're just living for the veg.

This has to be one of the most wholesome videos ever. Gotta love Brad's enthusiasm for everything good, he's like nature's hype-man.

Gotta make the most of the trip...

I think they had four episodes ready the day they published the first one on UA-cam (at least that's what I gathered from the end screen)

i agree! sustainable, considerate of what they take, understanding the process, and naturally farmed

@@Gabyy631-f2k Dude... The last three eps have Hawai'i in the title. You're killin' me, smalls!
"It's not about what happened, but what you can do about it" That is truly an amazing outlook on life and everything. Amazingly said.
What did we do to deserve all the greatness that is, Brad Leone, two days in a row.
You subscribed dummy
Spoiler Alert They get hundreds of subscribers everyday, yet we don’t get these videos everyday. So calm down buddy :)
Brad is so respectful and genuine
It’s so refreshing! I feel like a true artist appreciates other people’s art. He radiates good guy energy. The Bob Ross of food!

Your virtue has been fully signalled.
When he says "shucks" you know he is being as real as it gets. Dude has awesome vibes 🤙🤙
What I've learnt from BA is Baking is soul crushing and brutal and cooking is absolute baller.
actually, thats not far from something I would say.... and I have a culinary degree. 😁
Ngl, culinary school will teach you the exact same thing.
From what I've seen you can fix things when cooking if it starts to go wrong. With baking if something goes wrong once you've started it's time to start over.
That's why no one really bakes on Chopped.
Cooking ia absolute baller only when you cook at home.
Work wise, depends on how frequented the Restaurant is you're working in.
If you don't have to stress it, it's baller.
If the Restaurant is full, it can turn into Hunger Games: Kitchen Version pretty fast.
But that's also up to how well your crew works together.
They should put Brad to run the EPA. I've never seen someone love the planet more than that guy
Brad to the Earth: "Who's better than us?"
What about the guy he is with in this very episode?
Its really refreshing to see videos that celebrate and participate in indigenous roots instead of distantly "viewing" and "observing".
We need more of these human to human documentaries in the world T_T
as someone who is born and raised in hawaii, it's great hearing the manager do chants i learned as a kid and just speaking our local slang :)
What a wholesome and meaningful episode. Loved the scenes at the end where the prayer was superimposed ontop of the shots of people eating and enjoying each other's company. Really shows you what life should be about.
hersheybar422 about to cry truly
my thoughts exactly. these videos with brad exploring different cultures and customs is amazing to see.
Love Derrick's excitement. You can feel he knows his craft and loves it so much, you get drawn in. Those are some healthy farms!
*"It was a paradise but the people came and screwed it up."* You are so right it's sad that more people can't see that...
And the gentleman he was talking to about that turned it around and made it positive. I love Hawaii.

Brad never struggles
Claire going places and Brad-stry Chef makes Gourmet?
In the Starburst video we see Brad struggling with doughnuts so maybe in the future
So... "Claire does arts&crafts" and "Brad participates in a spelling bee championship" episodes?
We need a "Claire takes a vacation" episode
Brad looks so humble and happy to be there, especially during the meal, I love it
That sense of culture and family is just beautiful.
I want to surround myself with people like this. They radiate so much love and happiness! It's beautiful!

That dude has great passion for farming, its quite refreshing to watch.
Edit: actually everybody there seems to have great passion for their work.
Really good effort for the native/indigenous traditions being respected - go to Sioux tribe territory in the Dakotas and have some fry-bread tacos!
A nice gesture, and one I'm all for, but frybread, which has its origin with the Navajo, not the Sioux, is the end result of the Navajo being displaced from their homeland and supplying them with government-issued food stuffs. (If I burst your bubble, I do apologize.)
I grew up in North Dakota and loved those as a kid. Haven't had one in years.
My mom works as a dietitian for a local tribe in Louisiana, it's a small one but still federally recognized. Whenever the health clinic at the tribe would put on health events for the community I would go with her and help her/volunteer. It's absolutely amazing and I am in awe of Native American culture. I love their language. They speak their language very fluently but unfortunately it's at risk of dying out. Their language is so beautiful. And yes there is an old lady who makes fry bread and it is delicious. It's horrible that it has such tragic origins but I still believe it should be respected as one of their dishes, even with its tragic origins.
@@littlemissbekah9722 Hey, My family is Louisiana creole. I've been trying to track some of the origins as all our elders have just about passed and don't wanna talk about the past so I'm tryna do what I can. What is the name of the tribe? What parish is it located by? As I know they have there own lands. Thanks!😊
This is one of my favorite videos now. The amount of positive energy this video brings- the love, the selflessness, the kindness, oh my god. 💕
one of the best things about these videos isn't just the respect and enthusiasm Brad brings to every video and culture he gets the chance to visit and explore, but the respect in the editing, like the parts with the chants and singing some people would either cut out or barely show, but they keep a full minute + of each part, and it just shows how different Brad and all the BA crew bring and i love it so much
I love it when Brad bros out haha. This isn't quite Elias Cairo level but they were bro-ing pretty hard.
Which one was Elias again?
@@Dr.Boring The sausage maker and also the one he goes bird hunting with.
You can't teach that
Probably cause you can’t teach that
This is my home. Hawaii is such a beautiful and abundant place to live from the land. It brought tears to my eyes that Brad and the producers showed everyone what can happen in the future. It isn’t difficult to do what they are doing. This is beautiful.
I loved their chemistry together! Felt really genuine
These farmers are so dedicated and connected to their environment, its beautiful. Brings me hope!
1:08 This is surreal but fascinating to see Hawaiian culture in action
These videos make me tear up. It's so wonderful to see the sense of community, the respect for the land and what it provides, and Brad's genuine interest and joy learning from the people of Hawaii.
“Keep fighting the good fight because the world needs it.”
this was so wholesome and positive. more of this please.
This video is so wholesome. People are so proud and grateful for the food they have grown.
When the singing started happening at the end when they all started eating I cried. That was beautiful.
Aww mann that last song they did was starting to bring tears to my eyes O__O'
Yet another beautiful episode!

Its a local native chant called Oli Mahalo and its about giving thanks
