The Road To Paldiski Lighthouse 🇪🇪

- 🇪🇪 Today is my last day in Estonia and instead of lazing around on the sofa eating Pringles and drinking Vanna Tallinn all day I decided to head out on the train to the town of Paldiski and climb it's old lighthouse. On the way I met Athur's mum, a man drinking beer in the snow at midday and found some abandoned Soviet stuff in the forest. Join me...
It’s open today! About fucking time!
You always say bloody (блади), that sounds in Russian like блядь and means almost the same emotion))
Arthur's Mum here - I enjoyed my guest appearance very much ;) So cool you got to experience Estonia in these Arctic conditions which are pretty exotic even to us, and good luck onwards with all your travels!
@@RandomDave I'd subscribe
Great idea @Random Dave, maybe I should start just following Bald around with my phone from now on. @Frank McDank, stay tuned for some quality content!
Baldwatchers xD
@@liisepler5798 let me know once you are ready!
Say HI to Arthur for us!
Love the fact that you've made yourself hostage to fortune by calling it the 'Daily Bald'. You see - you HAVE to give us our baldy fix every single day now, Benny Boy! Bet you wish you'd called it the 'The Occasional Bald' or 'The When I Bloody Feel Like It Bald'!
😘👌
I think he missed yesterday :)
Wibfli Bald hahah
Our Father , hallowed be thy name , gives our day , our Daily Bald....Amen !!!

Bald & Bankrupt: Soviet sink
Daily Bald: Babushka's Secrets
I’m proud to be a daily balder
Check his "About" section on daily bald. He is in relationship with Soviet Sink.
Hello, it is the legendary Artur here, it was a really cool experience and I did not see it coming, thank you Benjamin and I hope you enjoyed your time
here in Estonia! :) and btw I am not Artur Rehi 😅
I can't believe it's the world-famous Artur! Hi, Artur! I bet you wished you had been there!
Most famous Artur in Estonia is singer Artur Rinne. Look in CZcams. Artur Rinne Narva Valss, Narva Vanalinn
He was in prison on Stalin time because he made joke on his concert against Soviet power.
His roots from Narva.
Maybe in future is Artur Rehi same famous.
You should thank your mum bruh, she the real mvp here xD
@@MigthyDucksz24 thank you, you’re a doll!😊
Hello Artur. Good lad!
Babushka Secrets: The most reliable news source.
Russian collusion
I hope Baldy will start translating it into English -- he would then become Bald and Rich Bastard.
Most Estonians have probably never heard of this Russian language newsletter.
Its more reliable than the sun😂😂
No fake news there !
No clickbait. No cringy intro. No ads or merch plugs. Just some of that sweet, good ass content! Thank you Bald!
True, but i wonder why he doesn't put ads
I had ads 🤷♂️ 3 to be exact.
@@SpitfireLionheart they mean where he shouts out a mobile game or something in the actual vid.
@@alexfrt01 Babushka's Secrets isn't ready to commit to being a sponsor yet ;-D
@@alexfrt01 Some things you just do for your heart and not for your pouch.
The guy drinking beer said that bread helps to mop up the alcohol ☺️
"The Daily Bald" is the best channel on CZcams since "Bald & Bankrupt". All Bald, all the time!
Harldr disagrees!!
Bald provides real content Harold’s insults peope
Amen!!
@@agaterockhoundz8918 lol
Agree but the videos are to short :(
Google Algorithm right now: "why the fock is everyone searching for Tondi?"
lol gd one
Apparently, it's hard to find.
and Babushka's secrets
I looked up the rock of Tondi - nada.
@@Charlienmeg it's a Football team, try that!
whenever bald sees an alcoholic in the streets "this lad is drinking a bottle of whiskey in the morning...what an absolute legend"
"These guys are drinking mets(methylated spirits) 🙃down the alley in freezing weather, l'll think l'll join them, shout out to these legends!! "! 😁
Bald: *writes name of city on hand to not forget*
Also Bald: *recites entire history of said city*
We need a “Rock of Tondi” shirt
Thats Rock with a capital R. Please respect the Famous Rock of Tondi!
@@streeda6501 my apologies, I will correct that
Tondi rocks
Hello daily boulders!
All profits to the Tondian tourist development fund
Now that place should be called "BALDiski"
Most certainly, because Bald hit the town.
(iski means "to hit" in past tense in Finnish, pardon my terrible puns)
@@taekatanahu635 hahaha i got! Greetings from Italy!
Lol !!
Baldski?
And sea should be renamed to BALDic sea! LOL
9:50 you can see the Estonian flag in nature: the blu sky, the black forest and the white ground covered in snow.
My mum once caught me with 'Babushka secrets' under my bed🤭
Bald: “I’ve not fallen on the ice once
Also Bald: Made a video of him pulling his hamstring walking up icy stairs
he didnt fall though
@@Kerttis This reminds me of myself when I was a kid cycling like a crazy in the winter and the bicycle would flip and spin but somehow I managed to not fall myself.
And your dull point is?
Bald after seeing the closed lighthouse: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
nah he will find a way....to be continued...tomorrow
I wonder how many people here know the reference...
@@terencemalik6415 What reference?
@@terencemalik6415 😂😂 The report of the week
such an abrupt end tbh
I love it how Bald explores soviet remains as if they were remains of ancient lost civilization
Babushka secrets - now I know how Mi6 sends encrypted messages to Benjamin)) very smart
Old man: my wife slipped over on the ice and died
Bald: laughs hysterically
Post-USSR people dont die falling on the ice. We're not that unexperienced
@@AndreiBerezin
Robert Carter misinterpreted what the man said, he actually said that he pushed her on the ice, and she died.
@@cnutsack oh my God, I see now. Lack of live communication with foreigners - - > lack of understanding
@@AndreiBerezin Yeah, I wouldn't expect everybody to understand such subtle hinting at an icy assassination.
I'm dying.
“It’s just... If you get some bread, it’s a different deal, but this... after this *makes a gesture* you fly” - The guy at 4:24
Is he sort of saying 'everything's better when you're drunk'?
@@fleet3995 He is saying, that beer is a liquid bread XD
@@fleet3995 yup. On the other hand, in a place like that, it would.
Thanks for that. It explains a lot.
He is saying, he could have used his last money to buy bread; but instead he bought beer so that he feels better while moving around lol
We knew Bald was coming, so we closed everything for a week. Estonians are most introvert, nonsocial nation on planet. Having a youtuber here, is everyones biggest nightmare. The biggest piece of courage we can hope for is some woman silently talking across the street that her alleged son Arthur is a fan of Balds, saying the truth that she was the fan herself, would be too bold for any Estonian. Usually we just walk on the street with a beer in freezing cold and drink our sorrow away and if someone asks any question, we just mumble something, cause that's probably 1st time and last time someone has asked us anything and we don't remember the right words anymore.
and when governemnt asks us to hold 2 m distance, we are sad, Because we like to hold 5m
Потрясающе😅
"I hope you like jamming too"
Bald Marley
Good one mate! Love from Estonia! 🇪🇪
How many locked doors are you going to encounter on this trip?
Benjamin:
Paldiski
My brain automatically read your comment in your voice lol. I had no idea my 2nd favourite CZcamsr was a fan of my favourite youtuber 😂
hey its the jelly pet rat guy
It's like trying to get into buildings in GTA.
It's winter, silly. Estonia comes back to life when the weather warms up. That's why we need a Version 2.
I actually live in paldiski and it was sad that he dident know that the lighthouse was closed for winter😂
in this case we couldn't see todays Bald Daily !!!
Google never sleeps
Have you been to Tondi?
What's your opinion?
@@user-kg3gu5yl8t Yes, Tondi is just residential area about 7 min. from city center. Has privet homes and some apartment building mixed in. There’s nothing to see...people live there
@@qualifierone8899 Thanks for replying, greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
Poldiski: “At least we’re not Tondi.”
I'm still thankful for the algorithm that suggested Bald to me slightly over one year ago
About eight months ago for me!
2:05 Should've named this channel "Daily Tondi" with how much that town comes up again and again
Tondi -- that is Soviet Paradise.
No, tondi is a buisness!!!
It must be his destiny. Bald is meant to uncover some horrible secret in the town of Tondi...
@@Assault_Butter_Knife tondi actually means some sort of spirit in estonian so i guess thats the secret
Tondi is not a town, it's a district in Tallinn 😂😁
"F***ing Paldiski."" Hilarious!
The look of disappointment after all that!!
@@bacondad6960 Yeah, Bald played that perfectly. So funny. Bald proves again that it is not the destination, it's the journey.
@@bacondad6960 i would’ve reacted way worse lmao
That's the reaction of most people, who end up in paldiski
Atleast finally he remembered where he is :)
Are you planning to visit Poland? It's not that cheap but we have a lot of babushkas!
I think I cried more when the pub was closed than when the lighthouse was.
I bet Bald did too!
Couldn’t care about the lighthouse, I was more gutted the pub was closed 😂
Near the lighthouse, he was a few hundred metres from the stairs down from the cliff, and down there should be damn amazing ice cascades.
In Soviet time, Paldiski hosted around 30 000 marines, the "civil" population (mostly the navy officers and their families) being around 8000. Most of the ruins of the barracks have been demolished, right after the Soviets left some area was like a field of ruins there. And, the so-called "Pentagon of Paldiski" was the largest building in Estonia (even bigger than the structure where Bald hurt himself), it has been demolished as well.
The railway station building in Paldiski is from 1871, being one of 2 oldest surviving railway stations in Estonia.
Cool!
The railway station was beautiful. It looked like something out of the film "Dr. Zhivago".
Babushka's secrets magazine: * exists *
Normal people: meh, just another magazine
Bald: THE SACRED TEXTS !
They are currently filming a Soviet movie in Glasgow, they think parts of Glasgow look like 1980s USSR lol
Babushka's secrets hidden on the top shelf there.
so that other babushkas can't grab it, because if 2 babushkas know, all babushkas know, and secrets are for keeping.
Sounds like a geriatric porno mag
Isn't that was it is?
@@ylette lol...you'd think a guy whose handle is "peeks n pokes" would be on top of these things...no, he showed in a previous episode...more like a weekly farmers almanac written by a babushka
that excitement on your face when you heard "tondi" in train :D 2:23
Showed your video today to my 10th grade students (I'm an English teacher), turns out they've spotted your bright green hat out of the window, when you passed by our school in Paldiski. I think they'd have loved to meet you even for a moment. :) Come again, when everything's open (and probably not freezing temperatures)!
Really?! Haha I remember your lovely school on the edge of town, in fact a couple of your students pointed me in the direction of the lighthouse. Would have been nice if they’d told me it was closed : ))) Would love to visit in the summer! Thanks for the message!
Bald, you have been such a gift during the pandemic, opening up the world to so many of us locked into our small world. Thanks for reminding us there's so much out there!
7:07 that "couple of Naval insignias" are actually Order of The Red Banner, which was awarded twice to the Soviet Baltic Fleet
Forget Victoria's secret, babushkas secret is where it's at
3:23 is there anyone else here besides me who would be less enthused to find out that you have to walk 3 km in the snow? Meanwhile Ben is just thinking to himself, "well, at least it's not a radioactive swamp."
I can't wait if Bald will go to Lithuania to see how many abandoned buildings he cab find
This guy has quickly become my all time favorite you tuber. One of the real ones.
He's not as good as Heraldo Baldieri, but he's okay
Lol. Sure

Hi Arthur’s mom! The way he said “that was Arthur’s mom” makes it sound like he really is just uploading to a group of friends and we all know Arthur love it
This kind of energy towards strangers is what I need more of in my life
agree!
Hear, hear!

Estonia 🇪🇪!! Hopefully one day I can visit my father & all his ancestors country. Thank you so much for uploading this! I love your content, both channels!
The red writing on the wall is from "New Wuthering Heights" (新・嵐が丘 Shin Arashi ga Oka) is the opening theme of "The Woman Called Fujiko Mine." This is a 2012 Japanese anime series based on Monkey Punch's Lupin III manga.
The full song goes:
Now, stop everything you're doing,
Allow your heart to race, and look at me.
To steal, is not to take something away or to break something.
It is a special case. An elegant vice.
It's an amalgam of secrets, felonies, mischief, and terror.
Just like with Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights,
A life dedicated to stealing brings about the ultimate sensuality.
It's a prison of sexiness from which she cannot escape.
Its psychological foundation is: Unknown.
Who is the slave? Who is the master?
Is God watching her? Has God abandoned her?
Te act of stealing lets her forget everything
And evokes faint memories.
Don't speak, run.
Don't run, hide.
If you find me, punish me.
If you punish me, kill me.
Save me.
But you have nothing left for me to steal, silly boy.
You are completely empty, just like me.
So if you want to look at me, then stop everything you're doing,
Stop everything but your beating heart and look at me.
It started with ''Bloody Paldiski'' when the pub was closed.
And then the lighthouse ending made it genius.
Plot twist : the guy with the beer was on his way back from the light house drinking his sorrows that it was closed
It's an endless cycle... Bald will get a bottle of beer somewhere and then shake some traveler's hand on the way back.
Who knew Padilski had so much swedish connection, beside being founded by sweds it’s also was the filming location for two famous swedish movies; Lilja for ever and Torsk på Tallinn.
On Estonian west coasts lived earlier estonian-swedes islands Vormsi Ormsö, Runö Ruhnu, Nargö Naissaar, peninsula Noarootsi Nuckö , Osmussaar Odensholm 9000 was population 1939 but 1943-1944 earlier when Soviets came again to Estonia them evacuated to live in Sweden.
Lilya 4-Ever is a brutal masterpiece, watched it over a decade ago and it will forever be burnt into my soul.
I NEEDED this! Thank you Mr Bald. The baldest of them all :)
@Bogey Your Soviet Baldiculous Bankruptness.
And let's hope there will be a Version 2, a summer time version. Estonia seems like a great country for a nice holiday.
It's quite popular at summer too, and not without a reason! :)
Tarto is great and if possible i suggest you drive down to valmiera in latvia, the border region is full of interesting sites and the best beer in the world.
Estonia is so beautiful! Thanks for been here mate. Love from Estonia! 🇪🇪
It seems all roads lead to Tondi.
11 minute Daily Bald video? Haven’t even watched it and already know it’s amazing.
I love you bald!!! Have literally watched every single video for a year or so and can’t stop. You’re truly an inspiration. Never stop! Much love.
That itch in your pelvis is an urge to find yourself an old rusty soviet sink, just in case you were wondering.
Don't thank.
After seeing there was already footprints in the snow entering that old soviet building I would’ve definitely avoided it 😂
Everyday when I have a stressful depressing day at school I will watch one of your videos and become very happy. Thanks for making my life 2% better
Dont tell your recruiter anything bad. Join the army and hate your life. I did and I was the greatest feeling ever to get out after 3 1/2 years. It's been 19 months and I still remeber getting my dd214

"Nobody has good memories from Paldiski" - Me, an estonian
I have amazing memories from summer camp.
Are you Artur?
Only thing I know about the damn place is that there is nuclear waste there and a lot of parties.
@@sebastianjohansen2142 now I want to party in Paldiski, the rural, fucked up Towns always have the best parties.
@@olfetyek449 yea and you can drive circles in the bus to tallinn for faster recovery from the hangover.
"Rongijaam" is train station
Balti is the name of the station meaning "baltic"
Raudteejaam anyone?
@@Shayvick09 Yes
Paldiski never witnessed a visitor with such immense level of excitement as Bald.
There's nothing sadder than an adventurous bald man staring dejectedly at the Baltic Sea on a grey, dreary day.
I actually saw Lilya 4-ever in the theater when it was released. To say it is grim is an understatement.
A Hol In My Hart wasn't much mor plasant!
You missed so many great places in Estonia, come back in the summer!
He's not interested in great places, but gnarly Soviet ones.
He likes depressing places that suck, but are interesting and Soviet.
I can be your driver if needed, I know old bunkers, caves and rocket launcing sites :)
The guy drinking beer was the lighthouse watcher that closed the lighthouse and went to get the last beer from the pub. His day was great. surely!
I love this additional content. Brightens up my day.
On the bright side, you got a chance to get hold of the highly sought-after brand new copy of Babushkas Secrets.
nobody in the history of ths "rkiosk" had ever asked for "do you have babushkas secrets" ever, she must of thought ur trollin :D
His accent is just terrible! Especially how he is pronouncing Estonian, but also Russian.
@@svilponis How dare you suggest that "jaam" is not pronounced "dcham" 😆
@@taekatanahu635 I was talking about the "babushkas secrets" . I know that B&B likes to read it, but even for me it was not clear right from the start, what he was asking from the poor R-Kiosk seller. Imagine, if someone asks "face and cheeps" instead of "fish and chips" in London!
@@svilponis It’s not his first language.
@@svilponis omg I just cant imagine such a sick and vile situation, where a person has an accent. you have a major point!
This is my old home town. I wouldn't recommend walking around there at night, lots of trouble around there but it was really nice seeing you go through Paldiski. It's much more worth visiting in summer.
Blessings brother. You are a good man and I love your videos.
Petition for a Q&A video:
- Your background, how you got started vlogging, tips for new vloggers
- Do you ever think how you would protect yourself when alone surrounded by villagers in a remote place (talking to you, Bolivia vlog)
- How did you get so interesting? Lol
Agreed. NOt sure a live stream would work, be a mess. But a Q and A be fun. Could do it in a Funky Soviet Hotel next to a Soviet sink.
"3 Kms? Oh I can walk then"
I am sure he would have said the same if it was 10 Kms😂
What problem walk 3km? Many people go 2-5 km to work or to public transport.
One of your best. Thank you, sir!
Hahah love the ending XD Good effort mate. I've loved discovering old stuff just within cycling distance of my home in Tallinn as a kid. something amazing about riding 15 minutes into a direction and coming across houses that are 50-60 years old with soviet posters on the walls or climbing a water purification tower and looking down at the gushing currents or going into old bunkers. Shame these things are getting shut down now. But then again it is a bit of an eyesore sometimes ...
As a Wisconsinite I don't quite understand "too cold for a beer"
as a scandinavian i am confused as well?
As a Wisconsinite I can confirm. I mean that just means it's stays ice cold the whole time you're drinking it.
@@1223isTHEnumber I mean what else are you supposed to do when the high is -1 f.

This man is a legend.
I’m so glad he made the “I hope you like jamming too” reference. Just shows he does have the best music taste 🤷♂️
I'm glad you have the daily bald channel. It lets me know you're okay.
Last RED building on way out of town is where I spent my best part of childhood. Happy to see my home standing. Thank you!
I love your videos so much Bald! Been watching you for a few years now, wish to meet you one day. I never thought you would come to my hometown Tallinn.
Now Bald knows how Clark Griswold felt when they finally got to Wally World to find it was closed.
😂😂😂😂
lmao 😂😂😂😂
😁 True.
Estonia seems like it would be a good place to visit in the summer...nice country, and their trains look awesome! Also, at this rate, his Daily Bald videos will be just as long as his B&B vids...and I’m completely fine with that! 😁
Another great video. I’m so glad I found your second channel!
Sorry your dreams of climbing the lighthouse were dashed though.
Thanks for the upload Bald!!
you know its about to be good when bald says "its an old soviet....."
Awesome ! I live there not far from the lighthouse , sadly I didn't know you were coming . Keep up the good work !!!
Absolutely amazing 😊
I love that this channel exists.
Having daily Bald videos is incredible!
