I guess the lotto (and gum) sellers are actually trying to earn some money instead of just begging. Tough way to live.
Vit bloody nam ! đ
How the heck you’re going to kick an addiction when you’re trying to feed yourself too.
The kids are so cute and innocent, they don’t even know the hardships that are coming as they get older, with them being so poor. =(
I think an addict would not buy new clothes. They only think next high. Maybe she was an addict and lost her teeth but after kids got off drugs. Your humor A+++
She didn’t buy new clothes. She went home and changed
This
Gum racket is cheaper to get into but harder to sell because its basically hoping for someone to pity buy. The lotto racket on the other hand is easier to sell because they’re offering something of value and a greater chance someone would buy. However the lotto racket in VN requires you to buy the ticket up front and only profit once you sell a certain amount. There are times when they are stuck holding those tickets.
Your VIDEO TITLES are CONDESCENDING …. ASSHOLE.
đđđť
Hard to say, but you are a great guy thats for sure.
Troy donât change for some peopleâs satisfaction! do what you want (theyâre YOUR videos!) and the right subscribers will follow. But i do agree with the other guy that your fan base would potentially be larger? đ¤ˇââď¸ Anyway stay you.
Troys sense of humour got me hooked in the first place .. then I fell in love with the people â¤
Her kids are so cute they look happy and healthy full of energy Iâm not sure if she is on drugs but she didnât seem high maybe you can straight out ask her if you give her more and see how she replies but she seems to be taking care of her kids so it was good to help her out and really good for the kids
She is at least trying to sell things and not straight out begging. The kids seem fed and happy so doesnât strike me as a druggie
The humor rox, you have decide who your target audience is. You can’t please them all.
I love it
I’VE BEEN AROUND ADDICTS AT WORK FOR YEARS
IN CHICAGO..SHE DOESN’T SHOW THE TELL TALE SIGNS ..
Troy on the mean streets of Saigon keeping it real. No harm, you didn’t give her much. Always enjoy watching!
Good one Troy. Charity makes everyone richer.
Troy u need to investigate. Ironic that she is selling whitener gum.
She is giving everything to her children to keep them healthy if she was an addict the children would have been dumped at the orphanage
Not a druggie I think.
The addiction would come before her children and I think that is not the case.
Garry Martin Every addict that has a kid has dumped them off at a orphanage. Makes sense.
I really appreciate what you are doing. I’m a student and it’s the end of the month so I’m pretty broke, but I just send you 10⏠to support my fellow Vietnamese. I hope more people are inspired by your videos and send you money.
What a noble gesture!
Duc Nguyen, Can you please tell me or show me where I can get the background music at the end of this video? Thank you ahead.
Duc Nguyen karma is real.
even if she s on drug just help her because she has 2 children to take care i don t see an ADDICT taking care of her children they just do what they want
I 100% agree with the comment from CentralScrutinizer @0:15 I’ve been saying the same thing. The 4chan, toxic type humor doesn’t help. Sure, there are some immature people that like you making fun of elderly people, or disabled, or skinny, or homeless or mentally challenged or overweight, or poor, or the less fortunate….get my point? You’ve ridiculed all kinds of people for not being to your standards. It’s immature and weak minded. I looked at an old video title or in the thumbnail that said something like “…Full Retard…” or something to that effect, with a mentally challenged girl in the thumbnail.
Then you start your videos with “bloody” nam, that for many may not be bad, but it just has a negative connotation.
I guarantee you most people come for genuine, uplifting content, which the majority of your videos are, but you add immature jokes/translations, and ridicule at less fortunate and that’s why you’re stuck at 3k views for so long. Take a deep look at yourself and ask why you think it’s funny or amuses you to belittle people or be negative so often.
And no I’m not a snowflake or a white knight, but humor has its place…and clowning the less fortunate just isn’t funny unless youre a toxic person.
Let your good qualities shine, hide your bad qualities and work on them.
@seven52nine like I said, I’m all for some humor, but not when its belittling or mocking the less fortunate, poor, crippled, homeless, etc. He’s done it a lot…so I do feel my feedback is warranted. And if you like and stayed for that type of humor, then I don’t know what to tell ya. His humor is kibd of like if someone was to make improper/immature racial asian jokes. It just aint cool/funny.
Anyway, he’s welcome to block me or delete my comments. Thats what you get with social media, people will give opinions. Im not the only one that feels that way. Im trying to help him though, albeit thru tough criticism hoping he gets out of a 4k view slump, so that he can both help himself more, and others.
I enjoy the majority of hos content, and given praise a bunch, but always call out the negative or insulting stuff as well.
Some valid points, however, he must be doing this so that his channel grows and hopefully help more people. Also, some of these terms have become derogatory in modern times. However, they were used in the past (maybe still used) to describe a condition.
Cardiff Giant perhaps the advice is wise, perhaps helpful.
However, I will say that while Iâm a new follower of Troyâs documentaries, I wouldnât have stayed and seen 40 of them if the humor was absent and it was all pity plea Sarah Mclachlan style. There are plenty of Sally Field types to follow and support. I see Troy has been doing his good charity support for over 7 years. Only a handful that visit this channel ever have even visited a 3rd world place much less supported strangers in one.
Again, good advice probably is what you issued but it was a bit berating and venom filled without warrant in my opinion.
How about sponsoring an episode perhaps? Your contributions can even dictate a script or niche.
I have seen Troy spend weeks searching for specific persons on a sponsor request before finally succeeding and giving.
He gives of his heart, his presence and his future or counter opportunities with this golden effort. A bit of levity is necessary.
I donât know if you have ever served in a high, high stress job like soldier or police or ER or fire fighter. One way to cope with the reality of humans and our behaviors is to find comedy, even dark comedy to cope.
Just thoughts.
P.s i think your hilarious! lol Sith lord like who comes up with such dope nicknames!
Not a druggie.
Let not judge the mother at the moment. I care about the kids. Just go and visit the home. Just ask for a visit.
I don’t think she is an addict either, just having a hard time. You did the right thing. She probably did pay some to back rent, how else would they have cleaned up and changed clothes, new or not. So again, you did good Troy.
Bless you Troy, am new follower from Canada and watched most ur of videos since last night. Itâs very inspiring. Am wondering how bad it would be for those during pandemic. I want to sent cad $ to you. I hope my little contribution would help a kid to stay healthy during difficult time. Itâs there anyway I can use WesternUnion?
Choephel Sonam beautiful karma.
Please revisit Vi.
Such a soft heart a mother has for her kids.
I see very lean, poor health mothers in Vietnam give so much to their child. It is bittersweet.
Maybe she lost teeth in conflict with a relative?
Maybe a hockey puck hit.
LE REDDIT COMMANDER yeah
Maybe
maybe she never went to the dentist, maybe she had caries, maybe she ate too much candy and red coke, maybe she used to do boxing….
Ignore Central Scrotumizer. Your humor keeps me coming back! You’re actually really fucking hilarious, Troy. Don’t change!
I have lots of experience with addicts. She’s not using drugs. But go with your gut, Troy.
she doesn’t look like she is an addict.
The contrast between mom and her kids condition is heart wrenching.
@LE REDDIT COMMANDER super true!
those kids look happy AF, they wouldnt be jumping around if they werent being taking care of.
She seems too healthy and clean to be a druggy, but these days you never know
This lady is not an addict. Actually she looks healthy to me. Vietnamese people are smaller in stature, anyway. Vietnamese cuisine is healthy to me, a lot of fresh salad. A lot of people work out to get that slim. Drug addicts have a dark circles around their eyes, hagged, etc.She does not make enough to buy drugs, she said as soon as she sells something, the children eats it. Wonder what her husband is doingďź not looking after her.
If thats an addict then ask what she is taking because she looks really good compared to the addicts around here.
For once, addicts wouldnt be selling they would be stealing or panhandling.
Bat burgers? Lame attempt at humor.
Personally I always like your humor. I just wish I could also understand what was actually being said.
Yeah most the time I think itâs accurate but sometimes youâre really curious what was said and itâs a joke or not. You donât know đ
Elijah bees I can understand and his translations just adds humour to the video. Itâs not far from what was said.
I’m sure some think your’re trying to tap them. Have you ever had to leg it in a hurry?
It is my personal opinion only. Donât rush to judge a person from others comment, Troy did a right thing to know more this lady in person instead of listen to one of the man. If she addict on drug, there are other easy ways for her to make fast cash instead of selling candy with two young kids on the streets in the hot Sun. If someone need help to survive and your heart is going to help then help. If People made mistakes, did things wrong in the past and now they want a better life then forget their past. If we donât help they still survive and move on. Thank you Troy and donors for helping others and bring happiness to them
Hung Lam, youâre points are quite correct. Stay cool…
Thanks for another video and the subtitles. Without it Troy will start to troll the conversation!đ
May Father Bless You.
Bat burgers?
I enjoy your “melbourne” referenced humor. Reminds me of home. It’s what you do not what you say that matters. Keep it up bruddah!!!
Her mannerism afaik isnât that of a druggy, but considering that dude said she was and she lost her teeth, I honestly think she is, but doesnât mean she doesnât deserve help imo
I was a drug addict for 15 years. I’ve been clean 31 years. I always had a job, a house, a car. Ironically I’m homeless now and sober. LOL! But I drive a truck for work and live in it. I’m doing it to save some cash. Kinda hard since corona rolled into town. So what are the signs of an addict? I was one and had a home. Now I’m sober and I have no home. In the USA it’s a bit easy to tell a meth user. Sores on their face and body. But being homeless doesn’t mean unhappy and a failure. I’m happy and have a goal in life. My heart melts when I see these 2 beautiful children . I wish they could go to school and have a home. And a bicycle like those other kids. But life isn’t fair. Kids in the USA being abused physically and sexually and they may have a home and go to school. So appreciate what you have when you have it. But put your self worth first. You will always have yourself. Material things always come and go. Another great video!
Thanks for sharing. It’s good to see you fight the devil and won.. Fight on brother.
Troy please can you re visit Vi and her mother and the sith lord? Thanks!
LOVING MOTHER KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY ..  YOUR HUMOR  got me hooked, YOU BE YOU ..
Kid try to hustle Troyđ
Never hurts to help….
People will start recognizing you as a charitable hero in Vietnam soon. I’ve been the Vietnam and people there are so nice and hardworking I just want to help them they are worth it.
get a cheap drug swipe test and let her do that. ask first wether she is addicted. if she say no then tell her to help her get the rent ready but she need to finish the test. cost only some seconds to do.
Thank you Troy for helping them. Can someone please tell me or show me where I can get the background music at the end of this video? Thank you ahead.
Ric, Thank you.
Konstantinos Palaiologos ..same song but not identical to the one used in Troy video . Very popular song of yesteryears for the Vietnamese.
https://youtu.be/B0YOCCZakh4
I don’t think she is a druggie she seems dressed nice and looks like she keeps a good eye on her kids
Great job , Troyđ
Better have somebody that say like it is or with dark humor and help , than sing songs and go without make-up on Twatter and doesn’t help for shit.
You go Troy and his Donors , you guyz are the light some people need.
You are an educated adult. If you are curious, just politely ask what her situation is and whether she is a drug addict. But I understand. Your Vietnamese is not as advance as your English so you can’t really communicate your curiosity to her without potentially insulting her and getting backlash. So what’s going on? How did you end up here selling gum? Where is your home? Where are the children’s father(s)? What happened to to your teeth, if you don’t mind me asking? Did you get into an accident or something? ……….
She is not beggar shes working shes not begging anything..
Xin chao and I think you helped a very deserving woman and hai children ! Also not believing she is has a drug problem. Those 2 children are just so normal and sweet it is heartbreaking to think they are having to live hour by hour feeding themselves selling gum and lotto !!! She is behind on rent so she can never get out of this rut !! How much in USD is she behind on rent and or owes her aunt???? I was number 12 kid born months after my Dad died and have been fortunate and have worked my ass off my whole life because I was adopted and so so fortunate these videos really are very important to me. This mother is genuine and deserving and just certain of it. I don’t know how to do it but somehow I will learn how so you will be able to help her out of this situation. CAM ON TO YOU TROY and all the other Viet making videos which help so many beautiful people all over Vietnam.
I don’t think she is a drug addict, but it’s always better to err on the positive side and give them the benefit of the doubt. Many drug addicts have mental health issues, thus using alcohol and illegal drugs to self-medicate.
Nothing is black-and-white on those mean fucking streets. As to the woman, There is nothing there that screams of drug abuse, but that is only an opinion based on a video thatâs only 7 minutes long…. the kids appear to be in good shape so whatever you give her will continue to help the kids directly. Her babies will benefit from your good will. Stay cool Broâ.
I think its just because shes poor and maybe uneducated so neglected brushing teeth for many years. that will rot them out of your head quick too, i dont think she is a druggie either… and im good at picking it believe me nicewvid
Good to see Troy getting some celebrity status. This is the 2nd video of him and Chi Tai hanging out together.
6:28 “Differences between lotto sellers and people roaming the streets”. In the UK they have a program where the homeless sell a magazine called The Big Issue. They do the pre filtering so you can be 90% confident when you buy the magazine the seller puts the money to genuine good use, whereas non sellers are just drug addicts. The premise is that just coming in to pick up the magazines means they are not 100% wasters.
Lotto sellers in vietnam probably pass a sort of initial filter too.
Keep your subtitles. Light humor helps a lot
Central Scutinizer doesn’t get the humour because he’s not bloody Australian!
She moves very smooth her gait is very relaxed if she were high she be moving more jerki more knee bouncing. Some people have a higher rate of tooth decay or could be from past drug use. I’d say not using at the moment. God bless you and your family aloha
i dont think shes an addict, perhaps didnt have the proper dental work growing up. keep up the good work-from the usa.
Troy, your humour is a big part of this channel. It might not be to everyone’s taste but you can’t win ’em all. Keep doin’ your thing fella.
Bat burgers
Kids are nice and fat. The more so, healthy and jumpy happy. In the real world, a addict’s habit comes first not the kids. In this case, even if she was a addict, it seems the kids come first before her drug habitual need. I support her not because she has missing teeth or because someone said she was a drug user. But because the kids body weight and behaviour is a good tell-tell sign if their mother is a substance/habitual user. So, yeah, give her 2,000,000 VND [$142 NZD] next time. By the way, if the mother tell the kids not to “BUG” you, isn’t that a good thing?
I say sheâs not an addict I have seen many and she looks after the kids pretty good for a very poor person
Bat Burgers! Taiwan! Im looking for Taiwan! Ah man laughed my head off. I would say in your epilogue you hit the nail on the head you always put your kids first i dont know if she’s a single parent if she is that probably explains her appearance and i don’t think she’s a druggie its probably due to lack of food sleep etc looking after the kids. Stay safe Pal.
Poor dental hygiene and bad food choices will lead to tooth decay. Didnât appear to be a druggie to me. Either way, the kids are innocent. Keep up the great work Troy!
Great job mate!
Hi Troy, i donât think she is an addict, the girls look good, healthy. Donât listen the man you were asking.
lol @ that dork commenter at the start
Awesome!
Why do so many people wear their masks like that? Might as well not wear one if youâre not covering your nose. Come on. đ
What matters is she’s trying to figure a way to take care of two kids. Doesn’t abandon them tough life.
Life is tough , the mother might be be feeding the kids only and not feeding herself properly.
~~~~ Dariusz Maziarz ~~~~
I dont always agree with you, but for the record i think your funny as shit, i also dont think your in it for YouTube fame. Also great video! I live in San Francisco and work with the homeless, i can tell you shes not a druggie for sure!
she is working poor shes selling gum
with the skinny mums, on the road, with many little children, and no father….maybe,
just maybe,
instead of handing out charity cash..
you should consider handing out condoms ?!?!?!
seriously..a poor woman isnt going to spend a dollar on condoms when she already has feeding kids…but she will go with the first male vietnamese imbecile who promises her “some better fortune “…for a short while.
That alley.., it did seem you were being lead through a narrow maze, reminded me of an abbatoir entrance, a bit sketchy to say the least. Maybe she was upselling, … but,… did they lead you there to mob you ? There was a wheelchair, did not see if there was someone stuck in a house, the lady may have known some neighbour in dire straights…. difficult situation also intriguing about the lady when you left the Alley she seemed different. Very courageous of you to go there, it seems few strangers are likely to. Good on you Troy. The Family selling gum, the kids looked to be a happy handful, very unlikely she was other than a struggling Mum doing her best . Keep up the good work.
Where exactly in Saigon was this?
yeah, I agree she seems to willing to work .
…….Well….folks….agree or disagree? Is the unrelated, confusing, somewhat humorous text holding back Troy’s channel? Don’t be a constipated koala….express yourself.
….I would like this channel to be HUGE….maybe this isn’t the goal? More subs, more money….more RELIEF.
Nah I don’t reckon mate, and the kids are bouncing around looking fit and healthy so she’s taking good care of them. As far as your added text “onya mate” cracks me up to see some Aussie humor dropped in there. What you do is very psychologically and emotionally draining. Using humor is a relief valve. Look after yourself mate the poor of Vietnam need you!
drugs are not the only way to lose your teeth young i have never done drugs i lost all my teeth at 27 due to a work accident and here in the states there are a lot that has lost them for many reasons other then drugs. teeth are not a reason to use to tell if people do drugs there are a lot of other ways to tell if they use.
Missing teeth , well thatâs a giveaway but she does not look like sheâs on the Greer now Maybe before . The kids seem to be well looked after .
Why do companies waste time and expense with drug testing? Post a pic and have experts here tell you if someone is on drug.
Good Samaritan. Have been following Troy Nguyen from 2016, the year I paid a short visit to Hanoi. Viet people are the best.Still there is no corona casualty in there. A great Nation.
maybe she did drugs before the kids, but who did not ?
Pls don’t judge, just simply follow your heart & give willingly & be a cheerful giver.Thanks!
Bro…Iâve only following your videos & the admirable deeds youâre doing that many of us canât or simply in situation(s) that doesnât permit. God bless you!!!
With regards to wether or not youâre giving to the right person who needs help or under dire circumstances…if youâre giving from the heart & benevolence, then that should be enough. Cz I believe a giving, charitable heart is one that doesnât judge or prejudge!
Thanks man.. youre my Hero !!!
i donât think she is a drug addict why would someone make an assumption like that about someone gosh
