Your dad’s vulnerability to open up about his past being an absent father… takes a lot of courage to share. Thank you ❤
I remember Tom many years ago when he was a young man stuck in OCCC. Glad he made it. Congrats to him.
Awesome to see Son and Dad CREATING MEMORIES
Thanks to your Dad for sharing his testimony 🙏🏽 You can tell how sincere he is when he talks about his past choices. Thank you JESUS for deliverance 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Mahalo 🤙🏽
Your dad sharing his testimony is everything 👏🏽 it’s amazing that he overcame all that he did, to be there for you as a dad & to own up to his past. Kudos to you dad, his advice to you was awesome! Congrats to you Tumua & Rachel 🎉🩷🩵
You guys are an awesome example of a father & son relationship. I don’t know what’s this stereotype in Waianae is about. I used to live there & I never had any problem with the people. Waianae people are respectful if you are respectful. They are kind if you are kind. That goes everywhere. Respect begets respect. Just remember that if you’re there & you’re not native or local, you gotta know your place especially if you’re just visiting. Respect goes along way not only in Waianae but everywhere. Respect the people, respect the island, show Aloha & you will receive Aloha.🤙🏽
Aloha Tom!! You always my Idol brah. I will never forget how you took care of me when I was a lost freshman at UH. Congrats for connecting with your older sons and for Tumua III Honoring you on his show. I love watching his shows since a few days ago.. Alofa atu!! Kesi
Ive been struggling as of late and I came here to laugh. But instead I was gifted so much knowledge and clarity. Thank you for sharing your stories in such a safe space.
Mean testimony bra ,I was at StLouis 77-81 enjoyed watching you at UH and Mark rip ,was at Punahou ,tore my knee up senior year,ending my football days,but my life after that pretty similar to yours ,long story short,im 60 now and blessed to be alive,striving to be pono every day,still fall short here and there.Respect to your Father for sharing,Aloha
So heartwarming to see all da fam working together. Couldn't help but smile when we got to meet da parents in the lobby of one of your shows. We were just as giddy meeting them as we were to meet you.
I worked at McCabe (Stevedores) for 30 years . Retired in 2015 worked a few times with Tumua Tuinei he is a good guy and a good worker .
wow great testimony!! God Bless
Your dad is my age, but he reminds me of my Hawaiian (former Marine from Palolo) dad, especially the skit when he was teaching you how to drive stick...'no burn da clutch'! . Had to say that Dad did an awesome job on his story and how he became the stand up man he is today ~ mahalo to you both for sharing ~ keep up the great podcasts, Tumua! 🤙
Fa'afetai lava for your guys cander. Generational trauma needs to be spoken of openly so the work to keep it from continuing can be done.
Your dad seems so remorseful for his past with his kids and that made me cry like a big baby at work. Bless him. He seems to have turned out just fine. ❤❤❤
One hour in, Damn this man has grown and see things so clearly.
The growth and self awareness of what he has done in his pass is something to be so proud of.
Powerful stuff mate.
Such an awesome video! There are lots to learn from watches this. Praise God your dad found himself and has lots of life’s lessons to share with you from his past. I see you have a tight relationship with him. You and your siblings are blessed to have him a dad. I wish all kids/teens/early twenties have this conversation with their parents. The world would be a better place… 🤙🏼

If I recall that Championship game in 1975 was played for the first time in Aloha Stadium! Wow, memories your Dad’s bringing up.

Tumua, I remember your dad in the 80’s at the bayside park drinking with some braddahs like ibanez, Lyau braddahs, fletcher and one big scrap broke out.. The uninvited against the braddahs, brah was mean!!! Waianae solidarity!!!!🤙🏾
Mahalo! This is my new respect 🙏 and interest in our culture, learning experiences to survive and love, and sharing with your neighbor ! REMEMBER THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT!!❤😊
What a great podcast Tumua, with your father!! The stories were awesome and the openness of the storyline behind it, brought an incredible amount of light to your father as he grew up...the good and bad! Congratulations to you and Rachel on baby!! All the best...
What a great interview. Your dad really had ups and downs. I’m glad he is all good now. I real man (woman too) is one who can admit their wrongs and own up to them. We all make mistakes and they are supposed to be learning experiences. ❤❤❤
Wow… the only reason I’m here is because I saw your utube comedy shorts ( cracked me up😂)! I remember you playing football for UH and being funny! So first off, I love this interview with your dad!! Love his honesty about his choices in his younger life that shaped his older life!! His dad has a sense of humor (local style)😂😂
Wow! Much respect to your Dad for sharing his journey, from the highest high’s to rock bottom. I remember your Uncle Mark playing for my Dallas Cowboys, I’m a life long Cowboys fan & I remember Mark getting us to the Super Bowl 3x’s with Troy Aikmen. I’m born & raised in Hawaii, I cried when Mark passed away, absolutely sad. Loved hearing your Dad talking about all the high school football games in the old termite stadium, then playing in Aloha Stadium, I grad McKinley High, so we were scared of Waianae High when we had to play them, we always got buss up.😂Mahalo for sharing Tumia, you so funny😂 crack me up. I’m sure Your Dad is proud of you & your accomplishments. Ask your Dad if he go’s to New Hope Oahu church on Nimitz Hwy, my cousin is the Pastor there, John Tilton. Mahalo bradah, Congrats! on your expecting your 1st child. Like your dad said, be present for your child, not just the provider, it will be tuff as you travel for shows, so you better get plany sleep now, cause you’ll never sleep again😂 nah nah joke! Aloha Bradah 🤙
Mahalo for sharing. Wow, I remember that game in 75. I was a freshman at Kamehameha from Molokai.
What a great interview thank you!
Great Video!! I knew your Dad's friend on the Pizza Hut confrontation. Yeah, the kid time football on pickup games were awesome, all of us kids did that from da east side Nui Valley side. Also, Honolulu Stadium was High School waz da best! Town Farrington, Waianae waz big !!!
Omg! He's talking about the era of my high school days and the year I was at UH too! Tom Tuinei and Mark were celebrities to us. I was yelling when he mentioned Dwayne Jett!! He was colored and your dad too. Lol! I remember Mark too. 78-79 was the year I was there.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, good and not so good. It helps us all.
I worked for Royal GUard Security. Cant remember what year but I was like wow TOm tuinei was one of my officers. HE was a legend and here he was one of my officers. Cool working moment.
Glad to see your dad doing good. I met him when he was playing game back in 1990? He was involved in something where his picture was taken in a elevator he was looking straight up at the camera so i asked him was that you in the elevator he said why look like me i said yeah😂. Was fuuny but he wasn't mad he kinda just smiled. Glad he's doing well. Aloha
Tumua in Hawaiian is Imua! In other words, Leader! #1 🤙🏼🤙🏼
In Niihau dialect, the idea of Tumua is firstborn, or one who comes first (stands in front).
@@samuelaakeo8118thats what I was thinking, especially when he said people called him "Tamua", I was like ohh shiii that could mean first born, or the first ma ta olelomatuahine👏🏽
My new favorite podcast! Hope to see more podcasts! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I was around in the early 90s when Tom was staying at his Mom’s house. Every so often he had to come with us - his Mom was very Cooperative and she told him don’t act up and to go with us. Honokahai Hale?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 wow good testimony… Good message to the people out here listening to this video
i remember watching Waianae vs Waipahu at Aloha Stadium. Was afternoon game. 1975!!! close game. Tom Nii and i think Moniz was the QB. Payton Serano was the Safety. Wilfred Lopes D Line vs Waipahu Ben Apuna and Manu Patia LB.
I just watched the Cowboys Legends show featuring Mark Tuinei. It's a must see!
Aaayee I seen your dad at Safeway I told him hey you tumua dad I always watch your guys funny parent dad videos ! lol great 👍🏽

Thank you for sharing your testimony Tamua , your last shout out for people to seek salvation in Jesus 2 Corinthians 5: 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
DAVID T WAS MEAN
Is the word “snap shot”? Lol
Waianae legend
Yessah unkz _\,,_
Just like Momoa… people spell um Mamoa 😏 so irraz!
Yeah from waianae born and raised class of 92 and I can honestly say the drugs destroyed our community and our football program suffered as a result of that and its still happening. So any dope dealers reading this,nuff already.
Damn waipahu even way back then was trash in football and still continuing the tradition lol 94blk
My pops is also Tumua and English is Tom… cool
No is not Tom in English
@@user-ny5cf4lb2u wat I meant was they called him Tom bc couldn’t pronounce Tumua.. u good !? English policeman
15:30 Your father has a good memory! Can you tell your father the UW Huskies coach name was Don James. I'm glad your father is open and honest about failing his other two sons. At least they know he thinks he messed up. Glad the two are doing well now despite his absence in the past.
1:02:08 Tumua are you spilling the beans that she is carrying a baby girl??? Awwww. Congratulations to both of you.
Ive been struggling as of late and I came here to laugh. But instead I was gifted so much knowledge and clarity. Thank you for sharing your stories in such a safe space.
