How Moving To The Netherlands Changed His Life, The  

Sam Ma man! Leuk Video!! Thanks for having me and for the great chats! Appreciate reading all the nice meesges in here as well 😊🇳🇱

This guy is a legend, I think part of why he is blowing up is that we Dutch are secretly quite patriotic. We don't really show it, but we love seeing other people talking about The Netherlands, especially people like him complimenting us and taking an interest in our culture

I'm a music teacher from Costa Rica, and I've been living and working in the Netherlands since May. Last week, I showed my students several videos of Jack making music from the Albert Heijn sounds; what a coincidence! I'm very happy for him!

I came across Jack Shore's entertaining videos about the Netherlands quite a bit on TikTok and Instagram, so it was a really great experience to be able to meet him and hear more about his story. I hope you enjoy as well!

What a nice young man. Good interview Sam. So nice to hear the experiences of foreigners. It still warms my heart to hear that people love my country even if I no longer live there myself. If I could I would ❤️🇳🇱❤️

Maybe a bit off topic but I love the casual mucking about of the children on bikes (8:51) and the couple with a kid passing by in a bakfiets a few seconds later. It looks so free and relaxed.

Leuke video weer. Ik ben altijd onder de indruk van jouw onderwerpkeuze; van een rondleiding door de Bijlmer en het dagelijks leven van een boer, tot de ervaringen van een expat dj. Altijd weer origineel en lekker positief zonder het te overdrijven. Jij verdient zoveel meer subscribers!

Begon je al een beetje te missen hier op YT en dan kom je weer met een klein meesterwerk. Heb weer genoten man. Wat hebben we toch een mooi land met zulke leuke mensen 💪🏻. Oké, uitzondering is het weer. Word gek van de regen 🤪

Was fun filming this, Nice video Sam 👏🏼

Looks like you found your match in positivity and enthusiasm. Fun video.

ìt's the Dutch winter that makes you appriciate the summer more ))

Another great video and interview. That is SO your skill. Always fun to hear of another's thoughts on NL as an 'outsider.'

Amazing video Sam!!!! He shares the same positives I noted on my initial visit to the Netherlands ❤❤❤❤I can’t wait to visit again💕

That was lots of fun you guys.....!!...keep it up.....!!

Hey man, I really liked your channel. I'll be getting in Netherlands with my wife on October,25, we'd love to find you in Amsterdam and make an interview like that. That's so cool

So goooood! Especially for underground music artists. Thanks for this one 😃. I always knew, as a singer, I was drawn to the NL for a reason...

This might be the greatest collab in the history of English speaking Dutch youtube

well put together thank you sam much love! 😁🫶🏾

For some reason I didn't get the notification for this video. Had to look up the channel to find it. Great video as usual!

Well done. Lovely interview 😊

My dudes making waves!

damn the quality really went up good work!!

Great video!

doe vaker collabs met Jack!

Hey Sam, this was a great video! I wouldn't mind more of these interview-style videos.

crazy collab!!

Mooie video weer!

Great video. Super cool you got to talk to Jack Shore. Also, your camerawork is getting slicker and better with each episode. Nicely done, man!

Great video again Sam! It's a good idea you want to do more of these interviews. The one you had with our King Willem Alexander is of course legendary! But your interview with Sergio Vyent was the best so far because it had more in depth questions. With Jack I thought you would take the opportunity to ask him about the current situation in Israel.

I came here for love lots of those things he said are true what really helps is to get to know the Dutch they can give tips and show you the way if needing help and make you feel more welcome while getting used to their culture. Another great video nice to see your still about havnt come across one of your videos for a long time. Enjoy life Enjoy your day.

Fantastic video❤ as always, if it has my interest i always watch.

"Nu breekt mijn klomp" makes sense if you realise how hard it is to break a klomp. They're carved from a single piece of wood, so they're very strong. Having your klomp break is indeed an unexpected thing. Very valid points on the negative sides off the Netherlands, as a Dutchie. 1. The overly structured social life is a little too much for many Dutch people, but it is just so engrained in our culture. People aren't very spontaneous like many other cultures can be. 2. The taxes are stupid, especially as we're getting less and less for it. It is still better than a lot of other countries, but our taxes are way higher. 3. The weather is the absolute worst. We hate it as well but what are you going to do about it. It is kind of like Israel being too hot. You learn how to live with it. To feel less depressed in winter, drink milk regularly (unless you're lactose intolerant). It contains Vitamine D, which you also get from the sun but not enough in the short, grey winters. This is one of the reasons dairy is so important in the rainy, cold, dark north western Europe. Obviously, go outside regularly, but it might not be enough. Not a cure all, but it helps.

Loved the video guys! Good job. Where were you? It looks like Amsterdam, but it could also be Haarlem or Leiden.

House market is also really hard for people who live in the Netherlands.

the ultimate crossover

Top mannen super leuke video 💪😃👍

Dit was echt een leuk interview, ik volg jouw al een tijdje en ik kwam Jack een paar weken geleden tegen op RU-vid en nu dit interview. Heel leuk. 👍🏻🔥

About : "angel on your tongue"; is always about liquid pref jonge jenever [spirit] and "breaking my clog" is more like 'Now, I get it !' "hanging on my bike" was spot on. Housing is indeed a disaster. Speaking [a little] Dutch sure helps a lot. Thx.

Loved it! Jaakov's cool!

6:35 alsof een engeltje op je tong pist, this is mainly used when you drink a beer. i don't know about the other foods/drinks

I have seen some of his videos, seems like a cool guy

Leuke video!

Very good video! Really enjoyed it! But the video with the ‘older’ gentleman who moved to the us as a Dutch person was more representative, and also a lot more relatable in terms of depth and argumentation. More long form in that sense. Love the effort you put into your videos and love your enthusiasm!

7:50 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious! Great vibes guys 🔥🙏

Man I wished you used "now comes the monkey out of the sleeve" its my favorite one.

Chill interview, I did not know the gentleman. And also thanks for not adressing the elephant in the room 😊

nice leuke video

Nice. Immigrating is always nice. And Jack must REALLY like it here. So much so that he used the word 'like' at least 84 times in that very short video. (Yeah, I had to count with the subtitles on). I thought speaking like that is like only like an american like way of speaking, but I guess it's like also from other countries like, I don't know, like Israel, or like any other countries where people like speak English or like watch a lot of like American videos or other things like Netflix or like youtube or like really like anything. Be careful Sam, speaking like that is like really contagious. But yeah, otherwise I really do like your videos. Like totally. :-D (Sorry, I really just had to like point that out...nothing personal).

First the king, now Jack Shore, you're upping your game man! 😉😅

Dat interview op het fietspad haha

It is weird seeing little snippets of my hometown of Almere in here 😅

Always the Dutch planning ahead thing..I am.Dutch but I dooooo like surprise visits!! I hate that planning as well...more a city than a rural thing..

‎

Dat heet structuur ,en dat heb je nodig in het leven ,daarom is het zo goed leven hier. !!

Things work well in The Netherlands BECAUSE taxes are high.

Am Israel Chai

I lived in the Netherlands for 30 yrs and NEVER heard those sayings !!!1

The 'agenda-appointments' thing seems to be an *expat-thing.* Like most of northen-Europeans, people just go to their 'stam-café' and meet their friends and envirements. I'm sure you'll find the same in Denmark or Sweden...

No com0laints but dude from IS gogot som swears , approprate within context , here for ir ❤

'Nu breekt mijn klomp, man'. HAHAHAHA

What a near accident looks like in a bicycle fiendly city: 8:50

What's wrong with the weather?🙃

Complaining about high taxes being 37% when you hit around 30K. Now imagine its gonna go up to 50% when you reach 70K lmao

How much did you pay for all those background actors?

this gave me such a big smile. The Dutch are really chauvinistic. They love their country and will watch anything about that. Specially the good. The bad? Well...... they will admit it, but not voluntarily. And, btw, not everyone in the Netherlands likes the planning ahead. There are Dutchies that prefer spontaneous action over planning ahead. But I believe they complain so much about the weather because the have nothing else to complain about and you guys are really becoming Dutch in that way.

Leave amsterdam alone

Watching this after the elections kinda gives a bitter taste. Bitching over housing - even if Jack is right. Sorry mate we are kinda full at the moment, it is just a small country! I am not happy with the results of PVV but they have a reason; *housing* (connected also to climate), and *immigrants/migrants* (including Expads) this/these are a big part of that. Housing issues for the born and raised Dutch people, the reversing of the social aspects of our allemange (all men) culture. (Which in a way is a catch 22 also created by those voting for the right all the time - but that is preaching towards a choir. VVD is a big part of creating the problems and still is number 3 in the elections. The majority of votes have spoken! But we are very divided with GL/PvdA being in second place, at least my voting was part of this taking place as well.) If you give us the respect by at least trying to speak the basics in Dutch, we will make the learning of Dutch harder for you by speaking English with you. Sounds like a good deal for people that are called geluk zoekers. Jack Shore can be glad he is "white" and looks European, I am shocked how the PVV was the biggest in almost the entire Netherlands, with a few exceptions of bigger cities that mostly hold these became Dutch groups that are getting the evil eye. *How does that make the both of you feel?* The Dutch Trump won with the message the Dutch "natives" should come first, because many have been falling between the cracks of the system. Kindertoeslag affaire is just one of them. This has been in the making also for a very long time.... I remember Wilders being at the Char show on t.v. long time ago, pre 9/11, and her making a reference to what later would be 9/11, and his rise to political power. It was a long road for him, but he "finally" made it as the biggest party. So with political long term planning - all this shit we live in has been created and planned by public management aka the government. 13 years of VVD, but also from before that; Take DuPont and PFAS Take Tata Steel Take Chemelot Take Schiphol; and here finally they had to down size also for climate, but now US (& EU) are blocking that - because of treaties. But the farmers have to go and down size since we are a trade country with some intellectual influences behind scenes. From cassette tapes to DVD and the ASML chip market. All also very important for intelligence operations through out history. One hand scratching the other but the citizens are not being scratched. And you find it so great - Dutch saying it once was even better! A short period of time. Housing has always been a way to control/manipulate the public, hand in hand with migrants and migrant workers. And these have been used over and over, hand in hand with our social take care of each other attitude. But Dutch culture is changing (it has always been changing but in different ways) fast in ways the common people don't like. Take the length it took with the issue of Black Pete, and still .... it is not over. 1/2 of the Dutch citizens are proud of our Golden Age and colonization is part of that, the VOC mentaliteit as Balkenende put it. Or in that same era; "Recht door zee" Rita Verdonk, and Dutch Pride. "Ik ben niet links, ik ben niet rechts, ik ben recht door zee." Just without foreigners there are internal divisions and strives. I mean I'm from Limburg, stereotypical in internal Dutch division I am "stupid" because; Belgians are stupid. BELG = Ben Eerst Limburger Geweest. Things like these. Just as every other country has them. Things you are probably mostly unaware about. Things tied in with our history, our cultures and sub-cultures, etc. Similar as trying to explain the moon landing or 9/11, if you were there at that time you understand the "hype"/issue/impacts but life went on, being managed to continue on. The struggles and complex history is not preceived with the naked eyes that easily. Also many things that once existed don't exist in the same way anymore. Templar church that once was underneath the Church in Maasticht center and a hidden secret for most made way for parking. The church preferred it that way, and for the city it made more money. Things like that. The history of that was already obscure and mostly forgotten. Power and ruling classes & capitalistic exploitations Bigger pictures on the global scale. This is not just happening in the Netherlands, and US/social media has a lot to do with that. Russia and Ukraine has multiple motivations putting the Siberian males in the meat grinder is one of them. Siberia is the land with potentials now the climate is changing, it is full of resources. And the history between Russia and Siberia is complex. Also Russia, European big powers and US have been at odds with each other through out human history. Reasons, megalomaniacs that want to have the biggest (empire), and rule the world/hold it in their hands and it still be too little. Same with the Israeli Palestine conflict. Which comes closer to home with Jack the privileged cute; young dumb and full of cum, stereotypical dreamer in their 20's. [Veronica, je ben wild en je jongt wat (Je bent jong en je wilt wat).] Sorry if this gets taken as rude, I feel like these are truths that also need to be spoken out loud.

er zijn alleen maar positieve dingen in Nederland. !!!!!!!!

if you wear tight pants ... get a man-bag for your stuff to carry around

Everything planned in the Netherlands? ...... Sorry, I'm born and living still, now 67 years. What part of the Netherlands you lived, at the nerds? You know the ones who can live of 32 hours work ,they say it's working... You know, I worked in the transport /distribution section -in four days 55 hours-.Yes, 48 hours driving time, as it set in the European law,.... driving time is not working time. In my free time never have, ore has, trouble to go out and so on. The only ones who have a strict agenda, are the ones who don't care, the nerd's. I'll think a worldwide problem.
