A Weekend With Tumua (2026) | FULL SPECIAL本站添加:
What's up, gang? We're here in San Jose.
We got four soldout shows here at the historic San Jose Improv. I mean, look at the line is wrapped around the block for the show number one. And I want to share this experience with you guys. So, come with me. This is my weekend.
This is the the tail end of my chi who tour and um I called it chi who tour because when someone chihoos it's contagious.
Yeah.
Yeah. Always get the last one that like stick them in. Yeah.
Should I do it? Should I do it?
No, honey. No. No.
No. But I toured all across the world with this and I explain to people what chioo means. And chi who if you don't know is just the way that us Hawaii people and Polynesians yell out when we celebrate something. It's a celebration yell. Like when this guy when he put on his aloha shirt, he probably said I would tell this to people all across the world. Like a few weeks ago we were in Cincinnati, right? Ohio. And they didn't kind of understand it. So I told him, "Look, every culture has their own chih who, but they just say different things." Like us, us Paulies, we say she. The white people say yeeha followed by hell yeah, brother.
Every culture got their own chew. Any Mexicans here? What the Mexicans? Yeah.
You guys got this thing called a gre.
Can one of you guys give me a gri right now?
Hold.
You guys all did it at once. That was crazy. That was I heard someone over here. Someone over here do it. Just Just them. Who goes?
Hell yeah.
That was a good one. It's funny though, right? That's their chih who sounds like a dying chicken in a chicken fight.
That's what it every culture got one. Filipinos. WHERE THE FILIPINOS AT?
YEAH, you guys are more quiet. You guys are more shy. Your chihoo, right? The Filipino chih who is the Look, you hear them. You hear them already. Look, you hear them. Tony flat tires right now. Just Ma'am, do that to any Filipino. Just they going to look. They look Huh? The point. Over there. Over there. Kuya.
Kuya. Over there. Filipinos got the best hearing, man. And you can do that from seven football fields away and they listen. Huh? Huh?
Every culture for real. Japanese. Any Japanese here? Yeah. Yeah. A few of you guys. You guys, there's probably more, but you guys are shy. And that's okay.
It's okay.
You guys are like the Filipinos as well.
You guys have a chihu, but you It's even more quiet in the Filipinos. The Japanese chihu. They don't even say anything. They don't even say words.
They just make noises.
The Japanese chi who is that's the same sound they make in bed.
That's that's that's BONSAI and then they apologize. Sorry. Sorry. H sorry. Ah, picture.
How you doing, sir? Good. I see you got the 49ers hat on. Yeah.
Bang bang Ner gang.
Yeah. Yeah. You guys almost win Super Bowl this year.
When I say almost, I mean the same stadium.
WE MADE IT. WE MADE it at our house.
What's your name, my man? You look you dressing all smooth. You got the faded jeans. You got the got the Is that What is that? Air What kind of shoes you wearing? My name is Jordan.
>> Red Jordans. Yeah. Yeah. What's your name?
>> Jay.
>> Jay. Right on. Jay. Just Just Jay.
>> Yeah.
>> Just Jay.
>> What do you do? What do you do for work?
>> I'm a biomemed technician.
>> You're a biome.
>> My biomed tech.
>> Biomemed technician. Oh, man. My bad.
Sorry, bro. just I thought he was like a rapper or drug dealer. He hit me with the most completely I'm a biomemed technician actually. Uh I go to work with my Jordans and uh and who you here with?
>> It's my wife.
>> Your wife? Is are you from Hawaii? You kind of look local. You are? Yeah, I can tell. Yeah. What part of Hawaii are you from?
>> Maui.
>> Maui in the house. Okay. Yeah. Get some claps. And And you're from here, I guess. Yeah. You got you got Bay Area written all over you, man.
If there was a Bay Area mascot would be Jay.
Little bit dreads. 49ers hat kind of walks with a limp a little bit. Just made it to the Super Bowl.
So, how did a Maui girl meet a Bay Area guy?
>> Uh, through a mutual friend.
>> Through a mutual friend. Okay, that's that simplifies it. Like what? Like just was it your friend or mostly your friend.
>> He was a friend from like a while back >> friend from a while back. Yeah. Shoot, man. Are are you high right now or something? Just >> I know you guys can't hear him in the back, but he's talking in slow motion just, you know, we just met through, you know, just uh our mutual friend.
Shoot.
What was the question again?
Yeah, I would not want him to prepare my medication at the biomed. Yeah. You going to need how much antibiotics?
I'll put a little bit of oxycodone in for you guys.
Give it up for Jay and his wife. That's what's up.
But Jay, this is how we do it in in Hawaii. Who's from Hawaii? Make some noise. Anybody from Hawaii? Yeah.
About half of you guys. Yeah. Yeah.
Except the Aloha shirt guy. That's Are you from Hawaii? You are. How can you never say anything then?
This is how we do it in Hawaii. If you guys don't know, we make fun of every ethnicity. That's how we feel involved.
>> For real. We actually get offended if we don't make fun of you. So, everyone can take it. everyone, you know. And I don't like when mainland people or people away from Hawaii, they say, "Oh, those Hawaiians, those Hawaii people, they are racist.
They are racist." We're not racist.
We're not. We just don't like Holl's.
That's it. We just I'm kidding. We love them. We love them.
We love them. If you don't know what Holly is, you probably are one.
I mean, nothing wrong with being Howie, too, cuz there's a lot of Hollies in Hawaii who are very successful. I got to say, out of all history, the most wellrespected Howie to ever come out of Hawaii got to be Dog the Bounty Hunter.
You guys never hear that name long time.
That's my favorite. I love dog.
>> I love dog and I'm not even Filipino and I love dog, you know.
Sorry, was that a little too rough for you guys?
>> Dog was my favorite TV show growing up because that's the closest thing us Hawaii kids had to Avengers for real. All the mainland kids had Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man. We had Dog.
That was our superhero, right? And if you had to explain to someone what the show was about, it's the craziest show, right? It's kind of pretty messed up show concept. Like when they pitched it to the producers back in the day, they got the most howl looking guy.
THE MOST HOWLEY LOOKING GUY, RIGHT? MORE Holly than you, you and you, ma'am.
Chasing down the most big local fugitives, big Samoans, Hawaiian, Tongans. How crazy is that? And if you had to explain to someone how dog looked, bro, he was an interesting character, right?
He had this this long glorious blonde mullet, right? He had the darkest Oakley shades he can think of. I think he spray painted the glasses, right? He spray painted and he'd wear it 24 hours a day.
Never took it off and he'd still see the fugitives at night. I don't know. I don't know how he did that. Even to this day, he we don't even know if he has eyes. He never took it off. He has the same Oakley glasses from 2007, guys.
Leather vests, unbuttoned all the way down. No more shirt underneath. No more shirt. Just permanent sunburnt red skin.
Some gray hairs poking out. He had the most raspiest voice you can hear. Like he smoked cigarettes all day, leather gloves. He was the man.
Every episode was the same, by the way.
Every episode. It made it seem like these fugitives that they were catching were these fivestar mastermind criminals.
They was just regular people, but they would HYPE IT UP EVERY SHOW.
The same thing, right? Before they start, they they do a little prayer, right? Let us pray. Let us pray.
They go into the room. They get the white board, right? They get the mug shot of the criminal, right? And dog gives his speech to his crew, right?
He's like, "Okay, guys. Today we got to catch Iika.
He's very dangerous.
He's wanted for possession of marijuana."
And we caught him making shishi at Alam Moana Beach Park.
We got to get him off the streets.
And they come in hot in their blacked out SUVs flying 90 mph.
They got big boob Beth driving the car.
Can't even turn the steering wheel.
Dogs in the back seat. Faster Beth.
Faster. Faster.
That was the number one show on A&E back in the day. It broke all the records and all us Hawaii people, we would watch it and recognize our family members inside of them.
Oh honey, LOOK MY LOOK MYIN.
WOW.
He really let himself go.
Look how skinny he look.
All his teeth gone.
>> That guy was on that episode too.
But dog, he was he was so aggressive, right? Kicking down doors, punching holes in walls. Every other word was a was a f word. He would swear constantly, right? You can't do it on television.
So, all you heard was like they were speaking Morse code or something. You'd kick down e f you mother fer. F you. You're toasted.
You're done. Shouldn't have missed your court date. Hell yeah, brother.
HE'S TALKING BACK. HE'S TALKING BACK.
MASON.
OH, this one's OUT. LELAND, GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE. M.
F you, brother.
5 minutes later, is in the backseat of the SUV. His eyes all bust up. Can't even see his eyes. Can't even breathe.
He's like dog just changes completely, right?
Hey brother, you like one cigarette?
I'm sorry I kick you in the nose. You can't even grab the cigarette. It's like dangling on his lip. He's like brother, you got to stop making shishi at Alawana Beach Park.
Come on. You get kids. You get kids.
You like something from McDonald's?
Young blood. Get him one quarter pounder.
Hey, shout out to dog though. He's still going strong. Shout out to dog.

You go.
Give it up for Victor Nico and his friends.
Yeah. So, I'm a dad, too, if you guys been following me on social media. Um, yeah. I have a a baby daughter. I have a one-year-old.
She's like 21 months old. I guess everybody counts in months. Parents, I have to learn. Um, her name is Dovey Pearl Ti.
And she's at an age right now where she's starting to watch kid movies from start to finish. Like, she can watch the whole thing, which means I'm watching these movies, too. And let me tell you, these are some good movies, okay?
They're good movies. I didn't know they were that great. Especially these Disney movies, man. They got some good writing.
They get you engaged. It's very emotional. I cried twice in Frozen.
I was like, "Anna, just go outside and build a snowman with Elsa.
What are you doing?"
That's how they make them. They make They purposely make it entertaining for adults, too. They get you locked in.
Like the other day, I threw on Moana on TV for her because that's her that's her favorite movie. She loves Moana. So, I was like, "Dovey, here. Let's watch Moana while daddy takes a break." Right.
10 minutes in, I find myself sitting on the couch, glued to the TV screen, watching this thing like it's game seven of the NBA finals. I even caught myself yelling at the TV to like, "Bro, just steal the heart to defeat you already.
What you doing?" I look down, the baby's gone.
Nowhere to be found. I'm I'm sitting in broad daylight watching this damn thing by myself.
I find her. She's in the kitchen playing with a knife or something. I'm like, "Dovey, get over here. Get over here.
Watch this part. It's important.
Watch it. Let me rewind it for you.
Watch it again. This is when Moana sings."
But these Disney songs, they're contagious, too, right? They purposely run through your head. And if you ever come to my house on Aahu, that's all you're going to hear throughout my throughout the whole day is Disney songs played on repeat. And I catch myself singing these songs at random moments of the day. Like I'll be in the bathroom peeening and I'm just like when the light in the sky meets the sea.
It's calling and no one knows where the shishi going.
Just all over the toilet seat. That's where that's how you know in love when you can pee all over the toilet. Thank you parents for coming out and whoever has toddlers or infants. Thank you guys for finding a babysitter with your grandma or and with the grandma. And thank you guys. And all respect to the moms. You guys are the real superheroes.

Especially with an infant and and a new baby. You got to learn how to do things with one hand, with one arm, cuz you're constantly holding the baby. You got to clean with one arm, cook with one arm. I can't even open a baby stroller with two arms, guys. I don't know.

People always ask me if I'll ever move out of Hawaii, you know, like maybe to Vegas or somewhere that's easier to tour, but I want to stay in Hawaii no matter how expensive it gets because uh they have some things in Hawaii like culturally that they keep going all the time. And I love that about Hawaii. For example, baby luau. That's a strong cultural event that we keep going every year. Um, if you don't know what a baby luau is, it's the way us Hawaii people um put on a huge party when a baby turns one years old. Like, it's a huge celebration. Like, we we spend more money on that than the wedding.
And I would tell this to people in the mainland, and they're like, "Why are you spending so much money on a one-year-old birthday?" I said, "Look, every culture has their own baby luau, but they just call it different things and have it at different ages." Like the Mexicans, where the Mexicans at?
>> You guys have this thing called the uh kinetta.
Kinsetta, age 15, right? The Filipinos, they have the Deboo, age 18. The Americans, sweet 16. The Hawaiians, age one.
Because we cannot wait for party.
We hungry.
Give us something to celebrate, right?
One years old. Boom. Bust out the green bottles. Hurry up.
And I find it hilarious that we're the only culture that does that at one years old. All those other cultures, right?
The Mexicans, the the Filipinos, the Americans, everyone comes to the party to see their birthday girl. And the birthday girl, she's older, she's grown, she probably has a beautiful dress on, she gives some kind of speech or dance.
And everyone comes to the party to see her. at a baby luau in Hawaii. The guys show up to the party. They're like, "Hey, where the birthday girl?"
Oh, she's staying up back sleeping.
Yeah. She not even here right now, actually. She not even. But I take the money. I take the envelope. I take the cash. Thank you, brother. Thank you.
Thank you. You hungry? Go make yourself one plate. Go. Go. Or your dad didn't stay home. Go make him one plate, too.
The foil stay right over there.
But some of these parties back on Aahu are getting out of hand. Like these parents are spending plenty bucks, 30 30 grand, 40 grand, 50 grand for a one-year-old birthday party. I kind of went crazy, too, when I put on mine for for my daughter, her baby Lu. I turned into a full-on promoter, guys. That's what I did. No, listen to this. I I booked three bands. I had two DJs. I had a $25 cover charge at the door.
I sold my merch, my t-shirts, the back left corner so I can walk away with something, you know. I mced the entire event so I can write it off on my taxes.
Found the loopholes.
But it was a fun party, fun baby luau.
It was a a Moana themed baby luau cuz that's her favorite movie, right? Moana.
So we had all these Moana decorations.
We had fire knife dancers, tiki torches.
I even had I Tongi to come down and do a special presentation.
Yeah. He came down with his ukulele. I said, "No, brother. No, no, no. You're not singing.
You're playing Maui.
Put that ukulele down.
Here's this giant fish hook.
Throw on this skirt.
What can I say except You're welcome.
Shout out to Tongi, though. He's been killing it.
He's been crushing it, man. But I I really think we're at a good time right now in history where like Polynesia and Hawaii people are getting more recognized. And uh it's great. It's great, you know, and it's all thanks to great people like like Tongi, right? He's tongen from Hawaii, winner of American Idol. We got all these new Hawaii movies coming out and TV shows with Jason Mamoa, Chief of War. He had another Wrecking Crew movie, and there's all these Moana, Moana 2, Lilo. I was in the live action Lilo and Stitch film actually. Um, so that came out too. I had a small scene. Very small scene, like two seconds. Yeah, two seconds. If you blink, you can miss him.
I promise.
14 minutes 10 seconds in. That's the time frame if you guys want to just fast forward to that. It's on Disney Plus. Go check it out.
It was a fun fun movie though. Have you guys seen the movie?
>> Yeah. You guys did you guys enjoy it?
>> Yeah. It got some backlash when it first came out. Again, it was us Hawaii people complaining about Hawaii things. They was mad that that some of the actors wasn't Hawaiian and they was saying like, "Oh, the live action Lilo and Stitch doesn't represent the Hawaiian culture enough." And I was just thinking like, "Bro, just relax.
It's Lilo and Stitch.
It's a fictional movie.
Stitch is an alien.
He's a Holly.
You guys acting like he's King Kamel.
Relax.
Just be proud that Disney is recognizing Hawaii again, right? You don't see any other culture getting mad at their Disney movie. Like, you don't see no Chinese man getting mad at Mulan and saying, "Oh, I wish the dragon Mushu was played by a real Chinese actor and not Eddie Murphy.
It should have been Jackie Chan.
Just enjoy it. Be proud." So, I was happy that I was in the scene, whether it was 2 seconds or 2 minutes. I'm just happy that they chose me. Um, but yeah, I played a I played a trolley bus driver if you guys seen it. And when Stitch lands in Hawaii, I run him over. That's that's that's the whole scene. I pissed off a lot of kids on opening weekend. I can tell you that for real. Yeah. You hit Stitch. I hate you.
You guys want me to do my scene right now real quick for you guys? Yeah.
>> Yeah. Okay. This is the whole scene right there. We get two seconds to spare. Okay. This is So, the director told me, he said, "So, I'm driving the trolley, right?" He said, "Look in the sky like you see a spaceship flying.
Look down, see Stitch, and react."
That's the whole scene right there.
Oh, thank you guys. Thank you. That's Thank you.
technically a speaking row. That's a speaking row. It was a yelling row.
>> Yeah. I actually got my first residual check about a month ago. Yeah. I framed it and everything. I never cashed it yet. 13 cents, guys. 13. How's this couple doing? I didn't talk to you guys.

>> But yeah, I mean, uh, before I would say before I got more serious into acting, my first official audition was actually with my family cuz we auditioned for Family Feud when it came to Hawaii. Um, you guys familiar with Family Feud?
Yeah. Love Family Feud with Steve Harvey. My family and I, we auditioned and uh, we had a hard time because of my mom, my Portuguese mom.
She kept wanting to buy vowels the whole time. She like, "Mom, what are you doing?" I like buy one a I like buy one a If you guys ever been to these these game show auditions, what they do is that they they do a little mock game.
So, the producers came up to us and they said, "No matter what answer your family members say, you all must say good answer."
>> You probably seen on TV, right? They want you to have high energy, high enthusiasm. They want you to be like this. They go, "Good answer. Yeah, good answer."
Even though that was very stupid.
Good answer. Yeah.
So, can you imagine if a true local Hawaii family made it on Family Feud?
Bro, that would be entertaining to watch, right? Steve Harvey introduces them on live television and he's like, "All right, everybody, give it up for the Go family from Hawaii."
Frankie, Frankie, relax. Stop jumping up and down.
And please put your shirt back on.
I don't care that you're from Wii. Put your shirt back on. Frankie brings up Kavika to the front. Right. Kavika, name an animal that starts with the letter A. And Kavika, he's so excited.
He can't even hold it together. Yeah.
He's like, "Steve, he's just live television right now."
Hey, what's up, Billy? What's up, Ky?
How you guys doing?
Yes, sir. Castle class 03.
Oh, what was the question again?
Name an animal that starts with the letter A.
Oh, that's one tough one. That one. This one tough one. You guys, you start doing this with the shirt. Yeah, that's so tough one.
You guys know the answer to that.
Octopus, wrong answer. And the mom, she got to say good answer. That's part of the rules, right? So, she's like, "Oh, good answer, boy. Good answer. Good answer."
You should have said ostrich.
Should have said, "What did that guy say?" I don't know.
But yeah, we never make it. But uh give it give it up for my parents. They're outside selling the merch.
If I'll leave you guys with this last thing I would say is uh I encourage everybody to to learn your culture. Keep it alive, right? Whatever whatever ethnicity you are, try to learn it. Keep it alive. Right. Eric, you speak Filipino.
Learn Filipino. You speak Yeah. Learn from her. Learn Filipino. Keep it alive.
Keep learn that thing. Right.
White people keep speaking English. You're good.
That's good.
I've been learning Samoan a little bit, but not only the language I've been studying. I've also been studying the culture of Samoa. And I figured I'd share this interesting fact with you guys. And this is a true fact. You guys can look this up after the show. You guys know the uh the Samoan slap dance.
Yeah. Or for the white people, the the haka, right? Fun fact, it's actually called the fatali, which means samo and slat dance. And the samo and slat dance was invented in Samo in the 1800s because there was an invasion of mosquitoes.
Look it up. I'm not making this up. It's on Wikipedia for real. There were so many mosquitoes. They were slapping themselves so much that it turned into a dance.
How crazy is that? Can you imagine what went through their heads back in the 1800s? This big Samoan guy, Junior Boy, the third, he's over there like what just And that's why when they dance, they do this with the head cuz cuz they dodge the mosquitoes, right? Dodge this way. Dodge that weight. Dodge this weight.
Oh. Oh. One got in my mouth. One got in my mouth.
That's why they GO San Jose.
Love you guys. Good night. God bless.
And aloha.
Heat.
Heat.
