Speaker 1 (03:30):
So, yeah, thanks for having me on man, because I
don't get much invites places,you know, so it's crazy are

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I'm pretty sure you're gonna, you're gonna blow
up and, uh, you're gonna begetting asked to do many
podcasts and shows and videosand a whole bunch of stuff, if
you not already well, it dependson who asks.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Really, I probably might say no, I have no idea,
you never know you know what I'msaying, hey you want to be on
my podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
No, well, good, I'm glad you said yes.
I had some people ask me tocome on theirs and when I went
on theirs it was like some weirdquestions and I'm kind of
already committed, so I had toanswer them and then I'm just
just like I really hope youdon't have a following yeah
right, they ask some of theweirdest questions.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So the economy how do you think that's going to?
What's your answer on that?
I don't?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I got asked what do I do if I didn't wipe my ass?
Good, and I'm at a friend'shouse and my ass was itchy and
I'm thinking like, well, I wipemy ass, good, I don't usually
have that kind of situation.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I don't, I don't know , I guess I do.
I don't know.
Two-ply I don't know, I guess Ido, I don't know, two-ply, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, it was weird, bro, it was fun.
That one was actually a fun one, but that was one of the
weirdest questions I ever had.
How was your New Year's man?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
New Year's.
It was fun.
We didn't do much, we justwatched the entirety of the West
Side explode Bruh.
It's like we don't have to goanywhere to enjoy New Year's.
We could just literally walkout right to our driveway and
just look at everybody poppingfireworks all over the place.
It's great.
It's even better than anywhereelse on the island, so yeah,
(05:46):
yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
We're just going honestly that's good, I mean,
granted everything that happened, but it was.
It was such.
I was in New York and nothingbro they had.
We were on the promenade byoverlooking from Brooklyn,
overlooking like the water, andwe seen the Statue of Liberty
(06:10):
and it had like a couple offireworks in the side of it and
for me, for what I'm used to,being locally born and raised
nothing bro I was.
It was mega disappointed and wewere with my fiance's family
and I tried to explain to themhow it is in hawaii and, of
(06:30):
course, in new york I had towait like a couple hours before
hawaii went off so I could showthem videos.
But yeah, I guess it's just ahawaii culture man I'm surprised
new york didn't like explodetoo.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Like yes, that's, yeah, that is kind of wild, but
they just their.
Their firework law is a littleserious, it's like ours.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
like yeah, I guess not, but it's like they they
have that whole ball drop thing.
But we went to times square theday before and it was already
packed and people were lined upgetting ready for the next, for
new year's eve, and it was theday before and they told me,
like some people wear diapers,some people like pack food.
(07:19):
I'm just like I'm not trying tobe about that.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No, okay, yeah.
So yeah, ynai was definitelypretty lit when New Year's took
off, so we didn't really have togo anywhere.
We just sat out front and thenwe just watched as like World
War III was popping off in theWest Side.
Yeah, it was fun.
It was really really fun.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You think they'll ever be able to contain that,
that shit.
Like they're saying they'regonna change the laws, but I
thought they had laws alreadylisten, they can crack down all
they want.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They're not gonna contain this at all.
They might as well go back tocrime.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like they should be.
They should be focused more oncrime rather than focused on
people with fireworks.
That kind of makes me laughingstock.
When it comes to fighting crime, I mean we already have TV
shows here.
We have a TV show aboutlifeguards in Hawaii.
We should definitely have onewhere cops are focused on people
with fireworks rather thanactual crime.
(08:27):
I think the ratings would go up, honestly.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I think so too.
Obviously, you're not doing agood job.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I think the ratings would definitely go up.
For sure People would watch it.
Oh, it's so suspenseful.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Have like raids at the freaking, like on the docks
and stuff.
Hey man, that would besomething that you guys should
create.
Content like that.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Fireworks PD.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, guarantee.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Bring that in front of producer on like cbs or
something they'll definitelyfund it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh yeah, I might have to edit this out before someone
steals your idea but you'vebeen you've been doing a whole
bunch of stuff and you createdwhat is the Polyverse, because
I've seen that's like yourproduction company, or what is
(09:30):
that about?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So the Polyverse is something that me and my wife,
tui, we decided to create topretty much tell stories, not
just like superhero stuff, youknow, it's more like you know,
stories from like Polynesianperspective.
So, yeah, we decided to createthat together.
(09:54):
I'd say Tuli is more of thelike the writing creator.
You know, like the creativewriter, I can't write for shit,
you know what I'm saying.
I'm more of a man of action andyou know, I film.
I do all this crazy stuff whenit comes to the writing is
definitely my wife.
She's like the the brains.
(10:17):
She just puts everythingtogether in such a some, in such
a way I could not put ittogether I could put it together
on film but, like she's the bigbrain, for sure, and that's how
, like our dynamic, we worktogether on that and uh, mostly
it's it's just been her, it'sjust been her.
(10:38):
So it's uh, yeah, it's been afun ride so far that's cool.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It seems like a good balance.
You guys can play off eachother's strengths and weaknesses
.
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
I got nothing else on that one.
It's just like a collectivething that we wanted to do.
We just decided to bring a lotof our friends on it and, you
know, just kind of share thatkind of success.
But we're just a bunch ofpeople that just want to film
stuff and have fun doing it.
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I did like um I.
I seen one of your quotes andit was um, if you have the power
to was.
If you have the power tovisualize it, you have the power
to create it.
For some reason that stuck withme, because that's not just
with content creating, that goeswith life.
If you have the vision,whatever your vision is, you
have the power to create it.
(11:40):
How did you even get inspiredto get into film and stuff like?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
uh, it's been, um, that's been something I wanted
to do since I was a kid.
Ever since I, you know, when Iwas a kid, I read comic books, I
read anime, I watched anime.
You know it was, uh, it waspretty lit for me as a kid, you
know so I used to.
(12:08):
I just watched superhero stuff,I read superhero stuff.
I wanted to do it to a pointwhere, like I wanted to create
my own kind of uh universe.
Once marvel started doing theirown universe thing, I was just
like Marvel started doing theirown universe thing.
I was just like I'm sold.
You know, I grew up on lovingcomic books as a whole and you
(12:30):
know just superheroes as a wholeand I just wanted to like kind
of bring that to Hawaii.
I'm not entirely sure if it hasbeen brought already, but I
just wanted to bring it again.
You know what I'm saying?
Yes, it's just all who.
I needed something a littledifferent, you know.
(12:52):
So I just had like a lot ofmotivation from my childhood,
just everything that I grew upon, like Dragon Ball Z, justice
League, batman, the animatedseries it was my whole childhood
.
I just wanted to do that.
Just like through my vision.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That's super dope and you learned how to create video
and edit just from likeuniversity or YouTube or you
went to classes and stuff likethat.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh, it was definitely YouTube.
I did research on YouTube.
It's not that hard, but turningit into my thing was definitely
what I took everything that Ilearned.
I learned from certain peopleon this island too how to, you
know, do all that all that crazy?
(13:44):
You know how do I say like VFXtype of stuff.
And then I did more research onYouTube.
You know, just like watchingfriggin thousands of videos,
turning everything that I'velearned into something that I
wanted to do for myself.
And I'm still learning, as amatter of fact, like I just, you
(14:05):
know, I'm just scratching likeas much as I've learned, I'm
just scratching the surface andit's, it's, it's just this vast
universe that I'm trying to getinto.
So I'm not done yet, so it'sjust.
Uh, I can't, I can't fathom toyou how much like I want to
(14:26):
fucking just learn everything asmuch as possible and turn it in
, like enhance that for with myvision and just like put it out
there, you know, for that'ssuper way to see that's super
cool and I mean honestlylearning.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You don't stop learning till the till the day
you die, and that was one of mymom's biggest um that's.
It's on her tombstone.
It says you don't stop learningtill the day you go to heaven,
because she was an educator.
But a lot of people, especiallywith learning digital stuff,
it's always evolving.
Like I'm trying to do videos formy daughter's volleyball and
(15:07):
I'm like cutting clips and doingall this stuff and learn yeah
learning how to do it, yeah andthen my friend hits me up with
dj hopper boy who does a lot ofvideo editing, and then he turns
me on to cap cut and I couldjust throw videos up there and
it makes it look way nicer.
And I'm just like bruh Everytime I learn something.
(15:29):
Then now there's an easy way todo it and it's like oh, I
should have just waited.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's definitely.
Editing and whatnot isdefinitely getting more easier
for people.
That's why we're seeing a lotof content creators coming out
of the woodwork now.
I'm not working with cap cut,you guys know, like actual
editing software.
(15:55):
So it's just, it's just crazyhow, like, how many people find
success off of like the easieststuff.
But I, you know, I'd rathertake the.
I feel like taking the, theharder road, is definitely going
to be more worth it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
You know what I'm saying I agree, and I use um.
I use final cut to edit um, mydaughter's volleyball videos.
I do some stuff for my friendsthat that dive and of course, I
do editing on that same softwarefor my show.
But it's evolving and and, justlike you, I get inspired to
(16:34):
learn more and it's like hold is, it's like you said a vast
world of knowledge that keepschanging.
And once you think, oh, I gotthis down, then something else
comes up and say oh, that's coolI can try that yeah there's
more and more.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You know, just like when, just when you think you're
finished, you know it's like Idon't know if I have anything
else to learn.
There's a lot to learn.
There's a lot to learn.
Just shut the hell up and learnthis, you know.
But I, I've seen, I've seen, uh, your, your daughter's, uh,
volleyball videos that you'redoing.
I like it, it's cool that'scool.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
that makes me feel good because I know you're legit
, so you can appreciate the timeI put into it.
Because, bro, it's like whatyou see in that.
One minute is like about threehours of cutting the ball,
hitting the ground or girlsfucking up Like, yeah, it's
interesting but fun and thegirls appreciate it and
(17:32):
everybody likes to seethemselves on a little video,
especially athletes.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Everyone likes seeing themselves, as you know, cool
and every once in a while, ontheir videos, you know.
So, like I, try to do that.
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
But you do a lot of collaboration with friends.
I guess and, bro, some of yourcontent comes out so funny Is
your wife writing that stuff oryou guys just sit together and
just brew it up?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
As a matter of fact, she's the one who tells me to
like not get too offensive.
So it's like the limiter, thechain, the you know the leash
anchor, like yeah, ok, pull itback.
We don't need all that.
You know, because you know yousee me on social media.
Sometimes I'd have like a, likea, not give a fuck, demeanor.
(18:27):
You know what I'm saying.
So when it, when it comes tothose type of videos, like you
know, sometimes I get a littlepullback from tuey, but you know
I'll just be like all right,fine, whatever you ever get
pushed back from people watchingit and start like haters or
people talking shit oh yeah,dude, all the time it's I I
(18:49):
don't care, I really don't givea fuck about that, because you
know it's just.
You know it's just people wholike make fake accounts but like
think about like how long ittakes for the process to make a
fake account, and then you gottago and, like you know, pull
some hate comments that you knowthat I'm probably not gonna
(19:11):
fucking see, you know, so you'rejust wasting your time, I'm not
wasting mine exactly that's agood mentality to have, and I
always said I always say this ifyou got haters, then you know
you're doing something right.
Yeah it's uh, it's just funny tome.
It's just like I don't reallyget mad.
(19:33):
I think about like just when,when I get a fake cop, like when
I get a hate comment from afake account, it's just like I
wonder how much time it took himto make that fake account.
And then I think about it.
I'm just like this poor guy,like I feel bad, like he's gotta
he's gotta jump through allthese hoops just to tell him.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Tell me he hates me and he's probably some dude in
his mom's uh empty bedroom.
He's probably like 40 somethingwith cheeto fingers freaking.
You know I can't really.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I can't really hate on somebody who's living with
his mother, because that's likea trend here.
Yeah.
I'm not even going to hate onthat.
It's like everyone lives withtheir mom here.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's true, I don't want to tease him about that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Clearly he doesn't know how it is living here.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That's true, I'm a mama's boy.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
True, I'm gonna tell you that much right now.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
okay, yeah I think navigating through hate is
you're doing it perfect, becausethat's exactly.
It took me a while and I wouldget mad at first and then
realize what you realize is awaste of time and definitely not
worth my time.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, it's a.
It's really a waste of time.
The good have done anythingelse with that 10 minutes worth
of work.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, exactly, I see one of your videos.
You were you a story time andyou were talking about meeting a
local celebrity and you don'thave to name names.
But I have been in situationslike that many times where some
of these guys think they're hi,maca, maca and too cool.
(21:18):
And yeah, it's just some.
It's say bro, you're not thatfamous, you're just famous on
instagram.
If instagram gets shut down,then what?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
there are.
There are a lot of locals.
I don't want to say they're allof them.
Yeah, you know, I've met myfair share of local celebrities
who are by far one of the mostdown-to-earth people, of local
celebrities who are by far oneof the most down to earth people
, but at the same time, like,I've met some pretty shitty ones
too, like they've.
They've like, if you're not ifyou're a nobody they will remind
(21:56):
you you're a nobody, like it'sthat you know, and they'll get
offended that you don't know whothey are, which happens to me
all the time.
Like you know, it was just like.
I don't remember watching youas a kid.
You know they be like you don'tknow what.
Yeah, I'm just be like, uh, noexactly I've.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I've experienced that many times.
I'm a club promoter and if I'llbe outside of the door and some
Joe Schmo comes in, you don'tknow who I am.
I've been on this show.
I had NFL players come in andbe like, oh, you're going to
charge me.
I was like, yeah, you got money, you play in the NFL.
I said you're not a Niner, so Idon't give a shit.
(22:36):
You're not getting in for free.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Oh yeah, what's that?
I don't know who you are.
Yeah, go fuck yourself, yeah,exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And then, um, I had some celebrities who were more
than gracious and like, oh no,I'll pay cover, I don't, I'll
wait.
In line with the same alohathat we're accustomed to is like
, wow, is those the kind peopleI wouldn't mind meeting and take
care of?
And and I've met my share oflocal and kind of popular people
(23:10):
from the mainland and, yeah, itblows your mind for some of
these people to treat people acertain way either super nice or
super like shitty.
And I always thought if I wasever famous, I'd be the coolest
dude ever.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I would seem like an asshole, but really I'm a cool
guy, you know you know it's justfuck uh.
Local celebrities is just uh.
I, I, I sometimes think thatit's like unnecessary.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Cause you gotta understand, not everybody on the
island is going to know who youare and you gotta, you gotta be
okay with that.
I don't know why people justhave this like notion that
they're higher than theirstatus-unquote status yeah so
it's, it's, it's wild.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
To me, it's really wild bro, the worst ones, in my
opinion, are the instagram modelinfluencers.
Oh, oh, geez.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
That is Don't Holy crap.
You don't know how manyInstagram models I wanted to
kick in the face lately.
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's like oh what do you do?
It's like I'm a model onInstagram.
I'm like oh, right on, I'm arunning back in Madden.
you do squats in the gym, allyou do, wow you put on makeup in
front of the fucking phone,like, like people care, I don't
(24:57):
know.
Yeah, I get, I don't get it,but I get it.
I just feel like, with the waysocial media is now, a lot of
these people are trying to livetheir life to impress other
people on social media and theydon't live in the moment that
they're in.
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Well, that's how life passes you by, so you know
people need to of relax.
I'm trying to impress everybodyelse with their whole lifestyle
.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That will probably only last for like 10 minutes,
but yeah, you just say you don'tsee what's in front of you you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You could lose all with this whole lifestyle you're
trying to have.
So the people in front of youare important you know, unless
they're trying to get you topromote your lifestyle, which is
a really shitty friend, and Ishould.
You should probably get newfriends.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, or they're probably doing the same shit.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I'm very thankful for the people I'm surrounded by.
You know so it's.
You know nothing but support.
They totally love my energy.
They, you know.
Mainly they encourage it,especially when I go off saying
what I usually say on socialmedia.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Hey, sometimes it got to be said but, like you know,
it's just.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm very thankful and I'm thankful I have someone
like tui with me who justconstantly puts me in my place.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So thank god for her.
That's a good thing.
You've been kind of blowing up,though, and you've been getting
bigger gigs and stuff doingsocial media like just
commercials and stuff.
Has that been working out foryou or is just like passion
projects you're just doing?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's like it's both fun.
Like you know, I got to dostuff for them, but at the same
time it is a bit of a passionproject too.
I try to like kind of thinkoutside of the box from what
other you know other contentcreators do for other businesses
.
So I just try to like put thestuff that I love into whatever
(27:17):
it is I'm working.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
So, yeah, it's uh, it's pretty fun actually yeah,
it's uh, it's pretty funactually, so that's good.
But you, you're um like.
I was watching the video youdid for chicken university and I
didn't even know that placeexists, to be honest, until I
seen your video.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's just it's just open, so okay but I don't know
if you've had it, but it'sreally good.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It looks good, but your video that you made for it
seems like high-levelprofessional.
Wasn't Joe Schmoe with hislittle iPhone trying to shoot a
video?
It was good cuts, clean shots.
So you have good equipment andgood kind of thought process of
(28:06):
how to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh, yeah, it's just like kind of, kind of want to
stand out from the usual foodreviewer who, just, you know,
prop his phone up here and thentalk about how good the chicken
is, like you know.
No, I'd rather be in thekitchen filming the, the cooking
and all that.
You know the cooking process.
How does this work?
Whoa, that flaming girl lookscool.
(28:28):
Maybe I can make a transitionout of that.
So it's uh, you know, sometimeswhen I'm, when I'm doing stuff
for food places, I barely haveany time to enjoy the food.
So by the time I you know, thefood's like cold already.
So I'm just like, but I stilleat it and it's really good.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's understandable .
But that means you're prettymuch a legit videographer, like
with a real title, because nowyou can sell your art to
businesses to have them shoot.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
your have you shoot their stuff for them I wish I
could call myself a professional, but if people do it for me,
it's fine, that's the best wayit's, it's nice to be called a
videographer, like, wow, you'rea videographer and I'll be like,
yeah, I am, I'm about that.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm confident in my abilities, but you know, at the
same time, like I'm just likevery hesitant on calling myself
something higher than me justbeing a regular dude who likes
to film things, I'll call you avideographer, because it was
definitely impressive to me andI kind of look for stuff like
(29:45):
that because I know how hard itis to do and, yeah, that stuff
impresses me a lot and I've knowa lot of guys who do it
professionally and I know guyswho do it on instagram and
you're like right there, man,and I think, future, wise, what
do you think you're going to doto take this to the next level?
Or what are your kind of goalswhere you want to take this?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, I have been looking towards doing more
serious work, like short films,which is something we're going
to try and do this year.
Tui's been writing up a scriptfor a series that we wanted to
tackle and it's it's kind ofbased on a true story.
(30:31):
It's pretty much based off ofher daughter, spencer, who
recently passed away.
So we're just going to tell astory of that.
But yeah, that's pretty, that'spretty much it.
Like we just wanted to try anddo more, a little more serious
stuff.
The skits are fun, don't get mewrong, but like you know, I'm
(30:52):
growing up here.
You know it's time to do morebig boy things can do.
Both kids do both, of courseboth yeah you know, if I feel
like a ranting, I'm definitelygonna rant.
But or if I wanted to doanother superhero thing, of
course I'm gonna do.
Of course I can do both.
Yeah, if I feel like ranting,I'm definitely going to rant.
Or if I wanted to do anothersuperhero thing, of course I'm
going to do that.
But it's more of the seriousstuff we're more going to tackle
(31:14):
this year, more than anythingelse.
So you know, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
That's super cool.
I'm definitely going to want tocheck that out.
You're good in front of thecamera also.
Were you always like that, likegrowing up?
Were you like the class clownor the one always making jokes
in school, or were you like uh,no, I wish I was.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
But really when I was young I was.
I was a weirdo.
A lot of kids didn't like me,didn't think I was funny.
I tried to be an oddball.
Actually I was an oddball, buta lot of the kids didn't think I
was funny.
Although today a lot of thekids that I used to go to school
with they see me and they'rejust like you know what.
We kind of knew this is whatyou would be doing.
(31:58):
They're acting for me type ofthing.
So you know, it's good to seeold people, people from like
your childhood who didn't do allof a sudden is like hey, you're
doing great, like thanks, butyeah, I was definitely an
oddball when I was a kid butyou're pretty comfortable in
(32:21):
front of the camera and youdon't hold back Like you're just
as silly as can be, like you'renot shame.
No, just like I got to change mypersonality Like yeah, so you
know, this is what we're doing,like no, fuck that.
I like to kind of, yeah, I justlike to be myself and yeah, I
(32:46):
don't try to kind of, yeah, Ijust like to be myself and yeah,
I don't try to change my whole.
Look on anything Like try totackle it as me.
Pretty much I was like, well,if I didn't change as a kid, I
might as well just tackle lifeas an adult as me as well.
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of stuff,a lot of a lot of changes I had
(33:08):
to go through, but I usuallyjust be myself.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yep, that's always the best thing, and I think
that's why you have thatmentality.
If people don't like me, thenthey don't have to.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah that's it.
That's exactly it.
Like you don't like my stuff,just scroll that simple.
Like you don't have to sitaround.
Like scrolling up is definitelyeasier for everyone.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Roll.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Remember that shit and I've done it like if I don't
like something I don't have tofucking, I don't have to watch
it.
How do you think right nowsocial media is affecting the
younger generation?
Do you think it's in a positiveway, negative way or kind of
could go either way?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
it could be positive, but in my opinion, I think
social media has destroyed a lotof young lives and it's
destroyed our young minds today.
I you know, in my opinion, Ifeel that kids should not have
access to social media or theinternet.
(34:15):
They should be like, out there,playing outside, you know, like
normal kids do I agree, myrecent interaction with a 13
year old went as not as expectedas I thought it would how did
that go?
they're talking about like adultthings, like the economy and
politics, and I was like, dude,shut the, go outside, get out of
(34:39):
here, give me your phone gochase some rocks or some shit.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, rocks dude yeah , what these kids need is
lickings too.
Half of these kids never getlickings.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Blame the parents yeah, I have a plan in the
parents.
They don't do much for theirkids.
I don't know Whatever it is,it's not working.
I agree.
I just feel that kids shouldnot have Internet access or
social media things or should beworrying about politics.
(35:17):
They should be worrying aboutwhat they want to be as a person
, you know, as an adult.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It starts when you're like what like when you're 13,
when you're kind of in arebellious phase.
But you're wondering what thehell's going to go like, what's
going to happen when I'm anadult, you know?
So it's a.
I feel kids should justexperience a childhood and stop
trying to be adults, you knowwhat I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
yep, and that's for us to experience, not you.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
The adults are out here working so you can have a
childhood, childhood.
We don't have.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
You know, we didn't I don't remember growing up with
a phone.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I remember going outside and you know playing
sword fight with sticks that wefind on the ground.
You know, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I heard texting was screaming out at your friend's
house to come outside.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Like when your friend's screaming your name to
come outside and play.
That's cool.
Tell your parents my kid hasfriends, like I forgot, like you
know not exactly oh wow, jaypaul just posted on.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
You know this like nobody fucking cares, go outside
you know, I agree, I made mydaughter do that her whole life
and I would go outside with herif she she didn't want to you.
Yeah, this it's weird.
I feel like it's sad.
I think that a lot of kidslearn a lot and they learn a lot
(36:52):
of different trends from socialmedia.
I'm kind of happy they'retalking about the tiktok ban
because, dude, I cannot watch mydaughter and her little group
of girls do these tiktok dancesanymore oh yeah, the teenage
girls who do tiktok dances inlike empty parking lots late at
(37:13):
night.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
What are you doing out here anyway?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
go home stolen.
Yep, stupid.
I rolled up to a bunch of girlsin target doing it in the aisle
and I was like, oh, what areyou guys doing?
Like just to embarrass them?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
and they're like on a tiktok accounts, like panicking
, like trying to get people tofollow them on instagram.
You know like it's hilariousbecause I'm barely on tikt so
you know, I'm surprised I havethe following that I have on
TikTok, but I just assumethey're all Chinese.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
They're watching your shit, trying to learn how to do
Captain America stuff.
Someone went, superman, youknow man you know like oh jeez,
(38:15):

Oh, that's too funny.
Yeah, is it?
Is it really?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
gonna happen?
They're really gonna ban it?
Uh, I I don't know.
Honestly, I don't.
I don't keep up with TikToknews, so going down and
everybody's like panicking,trying to get their followers to
Instagram they're on the bubbleright now yeah, yeah, like you
know all that work I did onTikTok, you know doing all these
(38:39):
cringy dances, man, I hate itso much oh yeah, it's so
annoying.
They had.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
It's like some meaningful shit to them, their
facial expressions.
They're performing in front ofsomething cool.
It's like no girl.
You're in the middle of Targetby the diaper section looking
like an idiot.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I can take you nowhere.
I'm over here trying to shopfor groceries and your dumb ass
is over here doing TikTok dances, looking like you're getting
defrauded by a ghost.
Get over it.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
What the damn fuck, I've seen these YouTube guys on
Instagram and stuff.
They kind of punk people or dokind of rude stuff to people and
sometimes it blows up in theirface Like they'll throw like a
bag of toilet papers at somebodyor like, and then they hide
(39:37):
like in in stores and stuff andI'm like, bro, you can't do that
shit in Hawaii, maybe in themainland, but you do that in
hawaii, you're gonna get it's asmall place.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
You're gonna get jumped bro, yeah you're gonna
catch some cracks that's what Iappreciate about why you're
being so small is when, like youknow, people try to do that.
You know stupid thing on socialmedia, where they like mess
with random people in publicyeah, but that's so big to a
point where, like every you know, once you get posted on hunger,
(40:07):
hunger, hawaiian, everyone'sgonna try and find you three
aunties and two cousins gonna belike, hey, they're gonna tell
on you bad enough already, butpeople will do their due
diligence and try to find someinstagram detectives out there,
man yeah there are, which iscrazy.
Like you know, I'm like thankGod I'm not on a hungry, hungry.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Exactly that's why I, that's why I'm with my girl, I
don't cheat or anything, cause,bro, I don't think I'm smart
enough to get away with it,especially who it all enough to
get away with it, especiallywith all the instagram freaking
uh, detectives, I'm probablybeing detective.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Anyway, as long as you're doing what you got to do
as a father and as a man, youdon't have to worry exactly what
everyone else says.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You know what I'm saying, like you know you're
doing what you got to do foryour kid and yourself and your
entire family, you know.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
So yeah, I think it's .
You don't have anything toworry about, dude.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, exactly, I don't know.
I just think with social medialike you can get framed too for
a bunch of shit that you don'teven involve with.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Someone once tried to tell me I had an OnlyFans,
which was cruel, what they werelike.
Yeah, I saw you on OnlyFans.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I don't have an OnlyFans.
What was I doing on it Showing?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
one nut.
What's the name of this account?
So coconut?
So you immediately assumed itwas me.
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (41:48):
no, you stupid ass, it's not me, some dude with big
balls, yeah oh god, oh my god, Ipanicked for a second.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
I was like did someone like take my face,
whatever?
Speaker 2 (42:00):
imagine making like choke money too.
Yeah, yeah, right, like you oweme, you owe me money, yo
guarantee.
That's just crazy.
Some of these girls like justput pictures of their feet or
something on there and bank youknow the money to like.
Put that money to good use, buyme a new camera, right new
(42:20):
camera right now Bro, if I makelike $100,000 in a month and
stuff like bro, I'd be likelassoing my shit around like a
windmill, for that much I don'tcare.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
I don't think I could $100,000 a month?
Speaker 2 (42:42):
I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
I wouldn't know what I'd be able to do On OnlyFans if
I had one.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
I don't know.
I think it would just get weird.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
That's crazy, but you Were telling me you grew up in
waimanalo, you went kailua umhigh school and on on this side
of the island so I've like, I'vekind of been like all over the
place, but the place I like hadthe most years that was
(43:22):
definitely Wamanalo.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
So I went to Wamanalo Elementary and then Kailua
Elementary and KailuaIntermediate and then I ended up
going to Moanalua High School,which was a change?
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah it was a whole change.
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I went from the countryside to townside real
quick, and you know, it was justweird.
For me Waterloo was nice.
It wasn't so bad, lots ofAsians over there, but it wasn't
bad.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Did you play sports?
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Yeah, yeah, I did.
I played football.
I wasn't a starter, so you knowMe neither.
Yeah, see, like I just playedfootball just to, just to hit
someone.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
It was fun so I got hit, but yeah, same thing yeah
it was just to pretty much keepmyself in shape.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So, uh yeah, I went to Mauna Loa and it was, uh yeah
, I played football.
Surprisingly, I joined thejapanese club that's different
yeah, different, like peoplejust ask like are you from salt
lake?
No, I'm not, that's just, Ijust lived there four years were
(44:39):
you into videography in highschool or like?
Um, I was, but foolishly enoughI didn't take the classes.
I didn't really take theopportunity to see what I could
do if I started that early.
I was dumb enough to join themilitary, but it was whatever.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
How was that man?
Which branch Marines you werein it.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yeah, so it was, but I think I should have taken
videography classes in highschool, I think.
I definitely would have gottenmy footing over there, but
instead I took acting classes.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Okay, Well, you're kind of doing that.
Yeah, I feel like my whole lifewas an acting class.
I think mine is too man or somekind of fake shit but you know
what the acting class was.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Uh was a bit of a shock for me because you see
people you would not expect tobe in acting class.
Like you know, you see some ofthe silent type of people in
there and they don't talk muchwhen they're outside of acting
class.
But when we're in acting classit's like we're in our own
little world and you know peoplecan express themselves and be
(46:00):
who they want to be.
It was sad to me because I wasjust thinking to myself like
it's sad that they can't be likethis outside of class.
I can't give a fuck.
What would the other people say?
Speaker 2 (46:14):
And plus, I'm bigger than most people anyway, so
that's a luxury.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
I just slap them, but I was like you know it was just
something that's sad to thinkabout, but I'll always treasure
my time with these guys inacting class.
It was fun for me.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Did they ever hit you up and want to try and collab
with you or try to try to workwith you on any videos?
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Well, some of these guys are doing way better than I
am in broadway, which?
Is shit yeah, which is amazingto see.
Like I think what I do is kindof like, uh, it's kind of a
little different, a little lowbar, you know.
So yeah, but my friend, myacting friends, they see what
(47:02):
I'm doing and they're just likesuper amazed and they're happy
that I'm doing it.
And I just see them goingthrough life and I'm just like
wow, you're in broadway.
That's crazy it's just.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
I just seen a broadway show.
I seen aladdin, like two weeksago on broadway and the bro, the
guy who played the genie like Iwould want to be that dude's
friend.
That guy had so much talent.
And like bro, like he knew thathe was the shit when he came on
(47:34):
stage.
Like one of his lines was the.
The um aladdin asked him likewho are you?
And he?
He looked at the crowd and hegoes I'm the guy that's about to
steal the show.
And I was like, yeah, you are.
Like it's watching.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
That level of talent is crazy I think it's because,
like you know, robin williams,when he did the genie like he
stole the movie, like everyoneonly see robin williams do his
thing, and I was just like, ifyou're gonna play as genie and
broadway from aladdin, youbetter steal the show, like this
(48:11):
isn't about aladdin, no morethis is the show yeah, and bro,
he killed it.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
And it was like I I am like looking up the guy's
name on instagram, looking athis content and I'm like, bro,
this guy is like I've never seenthat kind of talent right in
front of me and it was likewatching someone act in a movie
with special effects, live.
And I was just like, oh, I wantto check out other Broadway
(48:41):
shows.
I seen the Harry Potter one,but that wasn't singing and
dancing and stuff.
This talent was.
I didn't know people could dothis on a whim, it was, it was.
I'm just, I was blown away didyou?
Speaker 1 (48:57):
did you happen to get an interview with that guy?
Speaker 2 (48:59):
no, I there's.
No, I don't even know what Iwould say.
I'll just be like like he's,like this big bald black guy
that's gay.
But I'd just be like sign myboxers or something.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
I don't know just asking for an interview on a
zoom call.
This seems strange.
I thought I'm not going to lie.
I thought I was being strange,not gonna lie.
I thought I was.
I thought I was being orsomething, but I was like I
don't think he'd scam me.
So I totally go with it,because that's the first thing
(49:35):
people ask for is like what'syour email and phone number?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
I know I've, I have done that.
And then I get ghosted likepeople are down to call my show
and then I would, um, oh, sendme your email and phone number.
And then they're like.
And then I get ghosted Likepeople are down to come to my
show and then I would, oh, sendme your email and phone number.
And then they're like.
And then I'm thinking like Igot to approach this differently
.
Maybe if I send them my phonenumber, I'm like how do I do
this without coming across weird?
I have like proof that is legit, but I don't know.
(50:02):
Yeah, I was like, yeah, acouple of times I ran into that
problem, especially if it's agirl.
I said, oh, just send me youremail so I can send you a Zoom
link and give me your phonenumber and I'll call just to
touch base with you.
And then ghosts gone.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
I was like oh, maybe I scared them away.
I think it's like they don'texpect it to be on a zoom call,
because they're just like maybeit has like a like some kind of
studio or something you know you.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
This is my studio here.
Look at this oh, wow.
I'm literally in between my bedand my computer wow, you know
what that's.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
That's the beauty of filming wherever you want seems
professional it's not about theequipment, it's about the
content.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Although I have a cool mic I got a cool mic I
gotta say that I don't have oh,I'm just sitting here stepped on
his room so see, it's not aboutwhere we are, bro, and that's
what one blessing that I have.
With zoom, I can get guests andmake it super convenient for
(51:16):
them.
They can do it from anywhere.
I have guests that are from themainland.
I had a couple fighters thatlive in the mainland and it's um
, they're able to come on myshow and they would would not
have that opportunity if, likeit was in person.
I do some stuff in person but,yeah, most, most of it's been
through zoom and I mean it'sperfect for me.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Like I said, being the people you've interviewed
and stuff, and like it's reallyimpressive, like it's just you
have such a large following.
Like how, like, how did youknow that was gonna like pop,
like, pop off I didn't, bro.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
I was most, um, most times I'm just trying to throw
shine out people I know orfriends of friends, or people
that inspire me and like, likeI'm having with you a
conversation and, bro, if, if itresonates, it resonates, and if
it doesn't, it doesn't justlike how you think with your
(52:13):
stuff.
It's like I can put this outand if two people watch it or a
thousand people watch it for me,I had an awesome conversation
with this individual thatimpacted me in a way that I'll
keep with me forever andbasically the biggest plus for
these uh, podcast videos I haveand content is that when I'm
(52:38):
gone, my daughter can watchthese episodes and kind of get a
graphs of who her dad was, notjust as a parent but as someone
having conversations, and I hopeor she could not even give two
shits and never watch it, but Ihope like that.
That would be my goal.
You know what?
I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
I think she'll totally watch it, but then
she'll see like some of yourguests were complete weirdo.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
Oh bro, I had some guests where it's like I had
some I'm not gonna mention names, but some pageant girls where
I'm talking to them and they'rejust like cookie cutter answers,
like I'm the fucking guy onstage trying to get them to be
like a pageant champion orsomething it's like just be
(53:25):
yourself, ask you what yourfavorite show is on Netflix, and
well, due to the something,it's like oh fuck, what do you
watch?
Oh jeez.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
You should have just hung up, yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
But then I won't have a show that week.
Yeah, I had to drop some dudsonce in a while.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Oh my gosh, I was just thinking about that.
I was like man, what if I waslike a cutie?
Cutie, like I was just givingyou a cuter answer.
Speaker 2 (54:04):
Bro, I had like sometimes I struggle.
It's like trying to.
It's like I asked them like afull on hard question.
They're like yes.
It's like oh fuck, give mesomething.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Are you going to elaborate on what you were
answering?
See, that's why I can't be apodcaster interviewer man like I
don't have the fuckingimpatience for that I think you
could create cool content likeyour ones with with your boys.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
It's kind of like a podcast when you guys are all
sitting on a couch and you stolemr memes equipment so mark
really didn't know we were usingthat.
Speaker 1 (54:45):
I was.
I was looking at my friend bula.
Uh, bull is like.
I didn't ask uncle mark forthis.
I was like, uh, I'm sure you'llbe okay with it.
Like I was just like why don'twe just do this?
Speaker 2 (54:57):
anyways, we'll see what he's watching a video and
he's like wait a second.
That looks like my stuff marktexted me.
Speaker 1 (55:06):
He was laughing.
He was like dude.
That's so funny I don't knowabout these and we just decided
to use them in bullet's defense.
Speaker 2 (55:15):
It was in his house, so oh okay, so you're in the
clear then, yeah we're totallyin the clear.
I was like, well, we found it,we might as well use it bro,
those kind of episodes like thatcould be a podcast and you
could drop those and I think alot of people would watch it.
I would definitely watch it.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
I hope so.
I mean, we're just three guysjust talking.
It's nothing important thatwe're talking about.
Sometimes we'll just like, like, talk about things that's
happening right now.
We were just talking about likethe whole um josh green
cracking down on fireworks andstuff and like we thought that
(55:57):
was the stupidest thing that hecould be doing, like so much
better things he could have beendoing yeah, like timing.
The timing was just like out ofnowhere.
This guy just came back in thebeginning of the year out of
nowhere.
He's like I'm the governor,like like, is it like?
Okay, yeah, where have you been?
Like we haven't exactly, butlike the rest of 2024, then you
(56:21):
come back.
Oh, this firework now he has.
Speaker 2 (56:24):
Now he has something to aim at all these fireworks
are dangerous.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
They're terrible.
It's like where have you beenthese past few months?
Like past six months?
Dude, like he was in japanthat's where he was.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yeah, probably, or he got paid from those fireworks,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
I'm just making trouble he came out like a, like
a character that you don't seeafter like a couple of seasons,
just to remind us he's in charge, like yeah exactly same thing
with mayor blangiardi.
Speaker 2 (57:01):
Didn't see him at all I don't know, yeah, I, I don't
care, for I think our bestpolitician is probably augie,
because he's probably the onlyreal one there, at least, and he
came on my show well, I mean,if I was blanchiardi I would go
into hiding too, after I tellthe community fuck off and yeah,
(57:24):
exactly, I don't want.
I wanted to ask you.
I have, like, this littleproblem and I've been fighting
with my fiance about it becauseI gotta solve this.
So my neighbors I live upstairsand then we the house next to
us is like on a ravinedownstairs or down behind us,
(57:47):
and they have a kid there thatis practicing on one of them.
You know those recorders, thoselittle fucking bro, this
fucking kid, like 6.30 in themorning on a weekend and bro for
one, my fiance is a bartenderso she don't get home till like
(58:11):
five and this kid, mary, had alittle lamb fucking three hours
on that thing, dude, and I'mlike the parents, I don't know
how to handle this.
Bro, I'm trying to think of acreative way to get this to stop
because I'm going to choke akid pretty soon, are?
Speaker 1 (58:34):
you sure you want my advice?
Yes, because I feel like you'dbe creative.
Yes, I'm not entirely sure I'mthe best person to tell this.
Speaker 2 (58:44):
I think you're the best person.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Well, it would mostly involve knocking on their door
and asking them to shut the fuckup.
You know what I'm saying.
Like yo going out for threehours, the fuck are you doing?
Go outside and do that shit.
You don't have to be in yourhouse exactly bro I I don't, you
(59:11):
know, I don't want to give youguys this location away, but
like what area is this area safeto go outside the building?
Speaker 2 (59:17):
yeah, yeah in carnegie, yep, for sure do they
have like they?
Go to the fucking park, man, orto the bridge.
Speaker 1 (59:24):
Park nearby.
Speaker 2 (59:26):
Yeah, they could Pied Piper with that thing and get
all the rats to leave the bridgearea.
Speaker 1 (59:33):
It's mostly like you know, just God.
I'd hate to live next tosomeone like that.
Right, it's like the parentsbro, I go to my neighbor's house
and tell him please shut thefuck up.
I'm trying to sleep.
It's 12 in the morning.
What are you doing?
Playing a recorder.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
I'm thinking, bro, I'm going to get like fucking 15
of my friends and I'm going togive them all kazoos.
I'm going to wait until like 3in the morning and fucking kazoo
it up like right outside theparents window and be like
that's how I feel you don't wantme at your house because I'm
(01:00:15):
just gonna, I'm just gonna sneakinto their house and kazoo in
his, in his room like do it andI'm cool, like I'm super nice
about stuff like that, but bro,like mary, and they're not even
playing those different songsand it's brad, who's bro?
I can't like the only reason whyI brought it up, because
(01:00:36):
there's playing it just now andI'm like fuck oh my god.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Yeah.
So, honestly, just, tom, shutthe fuck up.
I mean honestly this isn'teveryone's building, it's not
just yours, alright, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Well, my Fiance is like Super nice and she doesn't
want me to Like Stir the pot.
They're just neighbors.
They live in the house behindus and I'm just like I don't
care.
They weren't here when I was.
They weren't here long.
I have no emotional tie to them.
Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Sometimes assertiveness is what will help
everyone else in the building,because I'm sure you're not the
only one who wants to put thework over.
Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Bro break it.
Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
There's probably like three other neighbors who can
hear that shit too.
Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Guarantee it.
It's just like what if this kid, like when he gets older, takes
up the trombone or some shit?
I'm going to whip his ass.
Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
I'll put that trombone out the window, then
I'm going to rip the car.
This is, you know, know, it'sridiculous.
This is what I don't miss aboutapartment buildings.
Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
You know the wildest shits from your neighbors
exactly, bro, exactly, althoughI've uh, definitely, um had had
a lot of people mad at mebecause of certain things
throughout the time living inapartment buildings.
Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I can't imagine you being any kind of distractive
towards your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Very.
I shot my AK off the fuckingbalcony one time.
Oh I can't believe.
I just said that, yeah, I'vedone stupid things when I was
younger.
That definitely pissed off theneighbors.
Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
I'm lucky, some of my neighbors are scared of me.
So you know, because, likethere have been times I've
walked out of my house with athe natch in one hand and just
like in my underwear filmingcontent with one of hawaiian
spike clubs or no, no, walk outanyways.
Sometimes I just do it, just todo it and see what.
(01:03:00):
You know what the reaction islike.
You know what will know,sometimes I get the fake blood
from one of my filming stuff.
I just douse myself in bloodand then walk out with an axe.
So they go check my mail likeit's all normal.
Maybe go back in their house.
Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Fuck, I want to try that.
Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
It's fun, dude.
Sometimes the reaction is justthe one you want you gotta film
that stuff, brah.

So, yeah, thanks for having me on man, because I

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I'm pretty sure you're gonna, you're gonna blow
up and, uh, you're gonna begetting asked to do many
podcasts and shows and videosand a whole bunch of stuff, if
you not already well, it dependson who asks.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Really, I probably might say no, I have no idea,
you never know you know what I'msaying, hey you want to be on
my podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
No, well, good, I'm glad you said yes.
I had some people ask me tocome on theirs and when I went
on theirs it was like some weirdquestions and I'm kind of
already committed, so I had toanswer them and then I'm just
just like I really hope youdon't have a following yeah
right, they ask some of theweirdest questions.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So the economy how do you think that's going to?
What's your answer on that?
I don't?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I got asked what do I do if I didn't wipe my ass?
Good, and I'm at a friend'shouse and my ass was itchy and
I'm thinking like, well, I wipemy ass, good, I don't usually
have that kind of situation.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I don't, I don't know , I guess I do.
I don't know.
Two-ply I don't know, I guess Ido, I don't know, two-ply, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, it was weird, bro, it was fun.
That one was actually a fun one, but that was one of the
weirdest questions I ever had.
How was your New Year's man?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
New Year's.
It was fun.
We didn't do much, we justwatched the entirety of the West
Side explode Bruh.
It's like we don't have to goanywhere to enjoy New Year's.
We could just literally walkout right to our driveway and
just look at everybody poppingfireworks all over the place.
It's great.
It's even better than anywhereelse on the island, so yeah,
(05:46):
yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
We're just going honestly that's good, I mean,
granted everything that happened, but it was.
It was such.
I was in New York and nothingbro they had.
We were on the promenade byoverlooking from Brooklyn,
overlooking like the water, andwe seen the Statue of Liberty
(06:10):
and it had like a couple offireworks in the side of it and
for me, for what I'm used to,being locally born and raised
nothing bro I was.
It was mega disappointed and wewere with my fiance's family
and I tried to explain to themhow it is in hawaii and, of
(06:30):
course, in new york I had towait like a couple hours before
hawaii went off so I could showthem videos.
But yeah, I guess it's just ahawaii culture man I'm surprised
new york didn't like explodetoo.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Like yes, that's, yeah, that is kind of wild, but
they just their.
Their firework law is a littleserious, it's like ours.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
like yeah, I guess not, but it's like they they
have that whole ball drop thing.
But we went to times square theday before and it was already
packed and people were lined upgetting ready for the next, for
new year's eve, and it was theday before and they told me,
like some people wear diapers,some people like pack food.
(07:19):
I'm just like I'm not trying tobe about that.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No, okay, yeah.
So yeah, ynai was definitelypretty lit when New Year's took
off, so we didn't really have togo anywhere.
We just sat out front and thenwe just watched as like World
War III was popping off in theWest Side.
Yeah, it was fun.
It was really really fun.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You think they'll ever be able to contain that,
that shit.
Like they're saying they'regonna change the laws, but I
thought they had laws alreadylisten, they can crack down all
they want.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They're not gonna contain this at all.
They might as well go back tocrime.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Like they should be.
They should be focused more oncrime rather than focused on
people with fireworks.
That kind of makes me laughingstock.
When it comes to fighting crime, I mean we already have TV
shows here.
We have a TV show aboutlifeguards in Hawaii.
We should definitely have onewhere cops are focused on people
with fireworks rather thanactual crime.
(08:27):
I think the ratings would go up, honestly.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I think so too.
Obviously, you're not doing agood job.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I think the ratings would definitely go up.
For sure People would watch it.
Oh, it's so suspenseful.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Have like raids at the freaking, like on the docks
and stuff.
Hey man, that would besomething that you guys should
create.
Content like that.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Fireworks PD.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, guarantee.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Bring that in front of producer on like cbs or
something they'll definitelyfund it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh yeah, I might have to edit this out before someone
steals your idea but you'vebeen you've been doing a whole
bunch of stuff and you createdwhat is the Polyverse, because
I've seen that's like yourproduction company, or what is
(09:30):
that about?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So the Polyverse is something that me and my wife,
tui, we decided to create topretty much tell stories, not
just like superhero stuff, youknow, it's more like you know,
stories from like Polynesianperspective.
So, yeah, we decided to createthat together.
(09:54):
I'd say Tuli is more of thelike the writing creator.
You know, like the creativewriter, I can't write for shit,
you know what I'm saying.
I'm more of a man of action andyou know, I film.
I do all this crazy stuff whenit comes to the writing is
definitely my wife.
She's like the the brains.
(10:17):
She just puts everythingtogether in such a some, in such
a way I could not put ittogether I could put it together
on film but, like she's the bigbrain, for sure, and that's how
, like our dynamic, we worktogether on that and uh, mostly
it's it's just been her, it'sjust been her.
(10:38):
So it's uh, yeah, it's been afun ride so far that's cool.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It seems like a good balance.
You guys can play off eachother's strengths and weaknesses
.
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
I got nothing else on that one.
It's just like a collectivething that we wanted to do.
We just decided to bring a lotof our friends on it and, you
know, just kind of share thatkind of success.
But we're just a bunch ofpeople that just want to film
stuff and have fun doing it.
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I did like um I.
I seen one of your quotes andit was um, if you have the power
to was.
If you have the power tovisualize it, you have the power
to create it.
For some reason that stuck withme, because that's not just
with content creating, that goeswith life.
If you have the vision,whatever your vision is, you
have the power to create it.
(11:40):
How did you even get inspiredto get into film and stuff like?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
uh, it's been, um, that's been something I wanted
to do since I was a kid.
Ever since I, you know, when Iwas a kid, I read comic books, I
read anime, I watched anime.
You know it was, uh, it waspretty lit for me as a kid, you
know so I used to.
(12:08):
I just watched superhero stuff,I read superhero stuff.
I wanted to do it to a pointwhere, like I wanted to create
my own kind of uh universe.
Once marvel started doing theirown universe thing, I was just
like Marvel started doing theirown universe thing.
I was just like I'm sold.
You know, I grew up on lovingcomic books as a whole and you
(12:30):
know just superheroes as a wholeand I just wanted to like kind
of bring that to Hawaii.
I'm not entirely sure if it hasbeen brought already, but I
just wanted to bring it again.
You know what I'm saying?
Yes, it's just all who.
I needed something a littledifferent, you know.
(12:52):
So I just had like a lot ofmotivation from my childhood,
just everything that I grew upon, like Dragon Ball Z, justice
League, batman, the animatedseries it was my whole childhood
.
I just wanted to do that.
Just like through my vision.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That's super dope and you learned how to create video
and edit just from likeuniversity or YouTube or you
went to classes and stuff likethat.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Oh, it was definitely YouTube.
I did research on YouTube.
It's not that hard, but turningit into my thing was definitely
what I took everything that Ilearned.
I learned from certain peopleon this island too how to, you
know, do all that all that crazy?
(13:44):
You know how do I say like VFXtype of stuff.
And then I did more research onYouTube.
You know, just like watchingfriggin thousands of videos,
turning everything that I'velearned into something that I
wanted to do for myself.
And I'm still learning, as amatter of fact, like I just, you
(14:05):
know, I'm just scratching likeas much as I've learned, I'm
just scratching the surface andit's, it's, it's just this vast
universe that I'm trying to getinto.
So I'm not done yet, so it'sjust.
Uh, I can't, I can't fathom toyou how much like I want to
(14:26):
fucking just learn everything asmuch as possible and turn it in
, like enhance that for with myvision and just like put it out
there, you know, for that'ssuper way to see that's super
cool and I mean honestlylearning.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
You don't stop learning till the till the day
you die, and that was one of mymom's biggest um that's.
It's on her tombstone.
It says you don't stop learningtill the day you go to heaven,
because she was an educator.
But a lot of people, especiallywith learning digital stuff,
it's always evolving.
Like I'm trying to do videos formy daughter's volleyball and
(15:07):
I'm like cutting clips and doingall this stuff and learn yeah
learning how to do it, yeah andthen my friend hits me up with
dj hopper boy who does a lot ofvideo editing, and then he turns
me on to cap cut and I couldjust throw videos up there and
it makes it look way nicer.
And I'm just like bruh Everytime I learn something.
(15:29):
Then now there's an easy way todo it and it's like oh, I
should have just waited.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's definitely.
Editing and whatnot isdefinitely getting more easier
for people.
That's why we're seeing a lotof content creators coming out
of the woodwork now.
I'm not working with cap cut,you guys know, like actual
editing software.
(15:55):
So it's just, it's just crazyhow, like, how many people find
success off of like the easieststuff.
But I, you know, I'd rathertake the.
I feel like taking the, theharder road, is definitely going
to be more worth it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
You know what I'm saying I agree, and I use um.
I use final cut to edit um, mydaughter's volleyball videos.
I do some stuff for my friendsthat that dive and of course, I
do editing on that same softwarefor my show.
But it's evolving and and, justlike you, I get inspired to
(16:34):
learn more and it's like hold is, it's like you said a vast
world of knowledge that keepschanging.
And once you think, oh, I gotthis down, then something else
comes up and say oh, that's coolI can try that yeah there's
more and more.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You know, just like when, just when you think you're
finished, you know it's like Idon't know if I have anything
else to learn.
There's a lot to learn.
There's a lot to learn.
Just shut the hell up and learnthis, you know.
But I, I've seen, I've seen, uh, your, your daughter's, uh,
volleyball videos that you'redoing.
I like it, it's cool that'scool.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
that makes me feel good because I know you're legit
, so you can appreciate the timeI put into it.
Because, bro, it's like whatyou see in that.
One minute is like about threehours of cutting the ball,
hitting the ground or girlsfucking up Like, yeah, it's
interesting but fun and thegirls appreciate it and
(17:32):
everybody likes to seethemselves on a little video,
especially athletes.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Everyone likes seeing themselves, as you know, cool
and every once in a while, ontheir videos, you know.
So, like I, try to do that.
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
But you do a lot of collaboration with friends.
I guess and, bro, some of yourcontent comes out so funny Is
your wife writing that stuff oryou guys just sit together and
just brew it up?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
As a matter of fact, she's the one who tells me to
like not get too offensive.
So it's like the limiter, thechain, the you know the leash
anchor, like yeah, ok, pull itback.
We don't need all that.
You know, because you know yousee me on social media.
Sometimes I'd have like a, likea, not give a fuck, demeanor.
(18:27):
You know what I'm saying.
So when it, when it comes tothose type of videos, like you
know, sometimes I get a littlepullback from tuey, but you know
I'll just be like all right,fine, whatever you ever get
pushed back from people watchingit and start like haters or
people talking shit oh yeah,dude, all the time it's I I
(18:49):
don't care, I really don't givea fuck about that, because you
know it's just.
You know it's just people wholike make fake accounts but like
think about like how long ittakes for the process to make a
fake account, and then you gottago and, like you know, pull
some hate comments that you knowthat I'm probably not gonna
(19:11):
fucking see, you know, so you'rejust wasting your time, I'm not
wasting mine exactly that's agood mentality to have, and I
always said I always say this ifyou got haters, then you know
you're doing something right.
Yeah it's uh, it's just funny tome.
It's just like I don't reallyget mad.
(19:33):
I think about like just when,when I get a fake cop, like when
I get a hate comment from afake account, it's just like I
wonder how much time it took himto make that fake account.
And then I think about it.
I'm just like this poor guy,like I feel bad, like he's gotta
he's gotta jump through allthese hoops just to tell him.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Tell me he hates me and he's probably some dude in
his mom's uh empty bedroom.
He's probably like 40 somethingwith cheeto fingers freaking.
You know I can't really.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I can't really hate on somebody who's living with
his mother, because that's likea trend here.
Yeah.
I'm not even going to hate onthat.
It's like everyone lives withtheir mom here.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's true, I don't want to tease him about that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Clearly he doesn't know how it is living here.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That's true, I'm a mama's boy.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
True, I'm gonna tell you that much right now.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
okay, yeah I think navigating through hate is
you're doing it perfect, becausethat's exactly.
It took me a while and I wouldget mad at first and then
realize what you realize is awaste of time and definitely not
worth my time.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, it's a.
It's really a waste of time.
The good have done anythingelse with that 10 minutes worth
of work.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, exactly, I see one of your videos.
You were you a story time andyou were talking about meeting a
local celebrity and you don'thave to name names.
But I have been in situationslike that many times where some
of these guys think they're hi,maca, maca and too cool.
(21:18):
And yeah, it's just some.
It's say bro, you're not thatfamous, you're just famous on
instagram.
If instagram gets shut down,then what?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
there are.
There are a lot of locals.
I don't want to say they're allof them.
Yeah, you know, I've met myfair share of local celebrities
who are by far one of the mostdown-to-earth people, of local
celebrities who are by far oneof the most down to earth people
, but at the same time, like,I've met some pretty shitty ones
too, like they've.
They've like, if you're not ifyou're a nobody they will remind
(21:56):
you you're a nobody, like it'sthat you know, and they'll get
offended that you don't know whothey are, which happens to me
all the time.
Like you know, it was just like.
I don't remember watching youas a kid.
You know they be like you don'tknow what.
Yeah, I'm just be like, uh, noexactly I've.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I've experienced that many times.
I'm a club promoter and if I'llbe outside of the door and some
Joe Schmo comes in, you don'tknow who I am.
I've been on this show.
I had NFL players come in andbe like, oh, you're going to
charge me.
I was like, yeah, you got money, you play in the NFL.
I said you're not a Niner, so Idon't give a shit.
(22:36):
You're not getting in for free.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Oh yeah, what's that?
I don't know who you are.
Yeah, go fuck yourself, yeah,exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
And then, um, I had some celebrities who were more
than gracious and like, oh no,I'll pay cover, I don't, I'll
wait.
In line with the same alohathat we're accustomed to is like
, wow, is those the kind peopleI wouldn't mind meeting and take
care of?
And and I've met my share oflocal and kind of popular people
(23:10):
from the mainland and, yeah, itblows your mind for some of
these people to treat people acertain way either super nice or
super like shitty.
And I always thought if I wasever famous, I'd be the coolest
dude ever.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I would seem like an asshole, but really I'm a cool
guy, you know you know it's justfuck uh.
Local celebrities is just uh.
I, I, I sometimes think thatit's like unnecessary.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Cause you gotta understand, not everybody on the
island is going to know who youare and you gotta, you gotta be
okay with that.
I don't know why people justhave this like notion that
they're higher than theirstatus-unquote status yeah so
it's, it's, it's wild.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
To me, it's really wild bro, the worst ones, in my
opinion, are the instagram modelinfluencers.
Oh, oh, geez.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
That is Don't Holy crap.
You don't know how manyInstagram models I wanted to
kick in the face lately.
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's like oh what do you do?
It's like I'm a model onInstagram.
I'm like oh, right on, I'm arunning back in Madden.
you do squats in the gym, allyou do, wow you put on makeup in
front of the fucking phone,like, like people care, I don't
(24:57):
know.
Yeah, I get, I don't get it,but I get it.
I just feel like, with the waysocial media is now, a lot of
these people are trying to livetheir life to impress other
people on social media and theydon't live in the moment that
they're in.
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Well, that's how life passes you by, so you know
people need to of relax.
I'm trying to impress everybodyelse with their whole lifestyle
.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That will probably only last for like 10 minutes,
but yeah, you just say you don'tsee what's in front of you you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You could lose all with this whole lifestyle you're
trying to have.
So the people in front of youare important you know, unless
they're trying to get you topromote your lifestyle, which is
a really shitty friend, and Ishould.
You should probably get newfriends.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, or they're probably doing the same shit.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I'm very thankful for the people I'm surrounded by.
You know so it's.
You know nothing but support.
They totally love my energy.
They, you know.
Mainly they encourage it,especially when I go off saying
what I usually say on socialmedia.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Hey, sometimes it got to be said but, like you know,
it's just.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm very thankful and I'm thankful I have someone
like tui with me who justconstantly puts me in my place.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So thank god for her.
That's a good thing.
You've been kind of blowing up,though, and you've been getting
bigger gigs and stuff doingsocial media like just
commercials and stuff.
Has that been working out foryou or is just like passion
projects you're just doing?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's like it's both fun.
Like you know, I got to dostuff for them, but at the same
time it is a bit of a passionproject too.
I try to like kind of thinkoutside of the box from what
other you know other contentcreators do for other businesses
.
So I just try to like put thestuff that I love into whatever
(27:17):
it is I'm working.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
So, yeah, it's uh, it's pretty fun actually yeah,
it's uh, it's pretty funactually, so that's good.
But you, you're um like.
I was watching the video youdid for chicken university and I
didn't even know that placeexists, to be honest, until I
seen your video.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's just it's just open, so okay but I don't know
if you've had it, but it'sreally good.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It looks good, but your video that you made for it
seems like high-levelprofessional.
Wasn't Joe Schmoe with hislittle iPhone trying to shoot a
video?
It was good cuts, clean shots.
So you have good equipment andgood kind of thought process of
(28:06):
how to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh, yeah, it's just like kind of, kind of want to
stand out from the usual foodreviewer who, just, you know,
prop his phone up here and thentalk about how good the chicken
is, like you know.
No, I'd rather be in thekitchen filming the, the cooking
and all that.
You know the cooking process.
How does this work?
Whoa, that flaming girl lookscool.
(28:28):
Maybe I can make a transitionout of that.
So it's uh, you know, sometimeswhen I'm, when I'm doing stuff
for food places, I barely haveany time to enjoy the food.
So by the time I you know, thefood's like cold already.
So I'm just like, but I stilleat it and it's really good.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's understandable .
But that means you're prettymuch a legit videographer, like
with a real title, because nowyou can sell your art to
businesses to have them shoot.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
your have you shoot their stuff for them I wish I
could call myself a professional, but if people do it for me,
it's fine, that's the best wayit's, it's nice to be called a
videographer, like, wow, you'rea videographer and I'll be like,
yeah, I am, I'm about that.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm confident in my abilities, but you know, at the
same time, like I'm just likevery hesitant on calling myself
something higher than me justbeing a regular dude who likes
to film things, I'll call you avideographer, because it was
definitely impressive to me andI kind of look for stuff like
(29:45):
that because I know how hard itis to do and, yeah, that stuff
impresses me a lot and I've knowa lot of guys who do it
professionally and I know guyswho do it on instagram and
you're like right there, man,and I think, future, wise, what
do you think you're going to doto take this to the next level?
Or what are your kind of goalswhere you want to take this?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Well, I have been looking towards doing more
serious work, like short films,which is something we're going
to try and do this year.
Tui's been writing up a scriptfor a series that we wanted to
tackle and it's it's kind ofbased on a true story.
(30:31):
It's pretty much based off ofher daughter, spencer, who
recently passed away.
So we're just going to tell astory of that.
But yeah, that's pretty, that'spretty much it.
Like we just wanted to try anddo more, a little more serious
stuff.
The skits are fun, don't get mewrong, but like you know, I'm
(30:52):
growing up here.
You know it's time to do morebig boy things can do.
Both kids do both, of courseboth yeah you know, if I feel
like a ranting, I'm definitelygonna rant.
But or if I wanted to doanother superhero thing, of
course I'm gonna do.
Of course I can do both.
Yeah, if I feel like ranting,I'm definitely going to rant.
Or if I wanted to do anothersuperhero thing, of course I'm
going to do that.
But it's more of the seriousstuff we're more going to tackle
(31:14):
this year, more than anythingelse.
So you know, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
That's super cool.
I'm definitely going to want tocheck that out.
You're good in front of thecamera also.
Were you always like that, likegrowing up?
Were you like the class clownor the one always making jokes
in school, or were you like uh,no, I wish I was.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
But really when I was young I was.
I was a weirdo.
A lot of kids didn't like me,didn't think I was funny.
I tried to be an oddball.
Actually I was an oddball, buta lot of the kids didn't think I
was funny.
Although today a lot of thekids that I used to go to school
with they see me and they'rejust like you know what.
We kind of knew this is whatyou would be doing.
(31:58):
They're acting for me type ofthing.
So you know, it's good to seeold people, people from like
your childhood who didn't do allof a sudden is like hey, you're
doing great, like thanks, butyeah, I was definitely an
oddball when I was a kid butyou're pretty comfortable in
(32:21):
front of the camera and youdon't hold back Like you're just
as silly as can be, like you'renot shame.
No, just like I got to change mypersonality Like yeah, so you
know, this is what we're doing,like no, fuck that.
I like to kind of, yeah, I justlike to be myself and yeah, I
(32:46):
don't try to kind of, yeah, Ijust like to be myself and yeah,
I don't try to change my whole.
Look on anything Like try totackle it as me.
Pretty much I was like, well,if I didn't change as a kid, I
might as well just tackle lifeas an adult as me as well.
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of stuff,a lot of a lot of changes I had
(33:08):
to go through, but I usuallyjust be myself.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yep, that's always the best thing, and I think
that's why you have thatmentality.
If people don't like me, thenthey don't have to.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah that's it.
That's exactly it.
Like you don't like my stuff,just scroll that simple.
Like you don't have to sitaround.
Like scrolling up is definitelyeasier for everyone.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Roll.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Remember that shit and I've done it like if I don't
like something I don't have tofucking, I don't have to watch
it.
How do you think right nowsocial media is affecting the
younger generation?
Do you think it's in a positiveway, negative way or kind of
could go either way?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
it could be positive, but in my opinion, I think
social media has destroyed a lotof young lives and it's
destroyed our young minds today.
I you know, in my opinion, Ifeel that kids should not have
access to social media or theinternet.
(34:15):
They should be like, out there,playing outside, you know, like
normal kids do I agree, myrecent interaction with a 13
year old went as not as expectedas I thought it would how did
that go?
they're talking about like adultthings, like the economy and
politics, and I was like, dude,shut the, go outside, get out of
(34:39):
here, give me your phone gochase some rocks or some shit.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, rocks dude yeah , what these kids need is
lickings too.
Half of these kids never getlickings.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Blame the parents yeah, I have a plan in the
parents.
They don't do much for theirkids.
I don't know Whatever it is,it's not working.
I agree.
I just feel that kids shouldnot have Internet access or
social media things or should beworrying about politics.
(35:17):
They should be worrying aboutwhat they want to be as a person
, you know, as an adult.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It starts when you're like what like when you're 13,
when you're kind of in arebellious phase.
But you're wondering what thehell's going to go like, what's
going to happen when I'm anadult, you know?
So it's a.
I feel kids should justexperience a childhood and stop
trying to be adults, you knowwhat I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
yep, and that's for us to experience, not you.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
The adults are out here working so you can have a
childhood, childhood.
We don't have.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
You know, we didn't I don't remember growing up with
a phone.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I remember going outside and you know playing
sword fight with sticks that wefind on the ground.
You know, hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I heard texting was screaming out at your friend's
house to come outside.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Like when your friend's screaming your name to
come outside and play.
That's cool.
Tell your parents my kid hasfriends, like I forgot, like you
know not exactly oh wow, jaypaul just posted on.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
You know this like nobody fucking cares, go outside
you know, I agree, I made mydaughter do that her whole life
and I would go outside with herif she she didn't want to you.
Yeah, this it's weird.
I feel like it's sad.
I think that a lot of kidslearn a lot and they learn a lot
(36:52):
of different trends from socialmedia.
I'm kind of happy they'retalking about the tiktok ban
because, dude, I cannot watch mydaughter and her little group
of girls do these tiktok dancesanymore oh yeah, the teenage
girls who do tiktok dances inlike empty parking lots late at
(37:13):
night.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
What are you doing out here anyway?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
go home stolen.
Yep, stupid.
I rolled up to a bunch of girlsin target doing it in the aisle
and I was like, oh, what areyou guys doing?
Like just to embarrass them?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
and they're like on a tiktok accounts, like panicking
, like trying to get people tofollow them on instagram.
You know like it's hilariousbecause I'm barely on tikt so
you know, I'm surprised I havethe following that I have on
TikTok, but I just assumethey're all Chinese.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
They're watching your shit, trying to learn how to do
Captain America stuff.
Someone went, superman, youknow man you know like oh jeez,
(38:15):

Oh, that's too funny.
Yeah, is it?
Is it really?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
gonna happen?
They're really gonna ban it?
Uh, I I don't know.
Honestly, I don't.
I don't keep up with TikToknews, so going down and
everybody's like panicking,trying to get their followers to
Instagram they're on the bubbleright now yeah, yeah, like you
know all that work I did onTikTok, you know doing all these
(38:39):
cringy dances, man, I hate itso much oh yeah, it's so
annoying.
They had.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
It's like some meaningful shit to them, their
facial expressions.
They're performing in front ofsomething cool.
It's like no girl.
You're in the middle of Targetby the diaper section looking
like an idiot.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I can take you nowhere.
I'm over here trying to shopfor groceries and your dumb ass
is over here doing TikTok dances, looking like you're getting
defrauded by a ghost.
Get over it.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
What the damn fuck, I've seen these YouTube guys on
Instagram and stuff.
They kind of punk people or dokind of rude stuff to people and
sometimes it blows up in theirface Like they'll throw like a
bag of toilet papers at somebodyor like, and then they hide
(39:37):
like in in stores and stuff andI'm like, bro, you can't do that
shit in Hawaii, maybe in themainland, but you do that in
hawaii, you're gonna get it's asmall place.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
You're gonna get jumped bro, yeah you're gonna
catch some cracks that's what Iappreciate about why you're
being so small is when, like youknow, people try to do that.
You know stupid thing on socialmedia, where they like mess
with random people in publicyeah, but that's so big to a
point where, like every you know, once you get posted on hunger,
(40:07):
hunger, hawaiian, everyone'sgonna try and find you three
aunties and two cousins gonna belike, hey, they're gonna tell
on you bad enough already, butpeople will do their due
diligence and try to find someinstagram detectives out there,
man yeah there are, which iscrazy.
Like you know, I'm like thankGod I'm not on a hungry, hungry.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Exactly that's why I, that's why I'm with my girl, I
don't cheat or anything, cause,bro, I don't think I'm smart
enough to get away with it,especially who it all enough to
get away with it, especiallywith all the instagram freaking
uh, detectives, I'm probablybeing detective.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Anyway, as long as you're doing what you got to do
as a father and as a man, youdon't have to worry exactly what
everyone else says.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You know what I'm saying, like you know you're
doing what you got to do foryour kid and yourself and your
entire family, you know.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
So yeah, I think it's .
You don't have anything toworry about, dude.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Yeah, exactly, I don't know.
I just think with social medialike you can get framed too for
a bunch of shit that you don'teven involve with.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Someone once tried to tell me I had an OnlyFans,
which was cruel, what they werelike.
Yeah, I saw you on OnlyFans.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I don't have an OnlyFans.
What was I doing on it Showing?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
one nut.
What's the name of this account?
So coconut?
So you immediately assumed itwas me.
What the fuck?
Speaker 2 (41:48):
no, you stupid ass, it's not me, some dude with big
balls, yeah oh god, oh my god, Ipanicked for a second.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
I was like did someone like take my face,
whatever?
Speaker 2 (42:00):
imagine making like choke money too.
Yeah, yeah, right, like you oweme, you owe me money, yo
guarantee.
That's just crazy.
Some of these girls like justput pictures of their feet or
something on there and bank youknow the money to like.
Put that money to good use, buyme a new camera, right new
(42:20):
camera right now Bro, if I makelike $100,000 in a month and
stuff like bro, I'd be likelassoing my shit around like a
windmill, for that much I don'tcare.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
I don't think I could $100,000 a month?
Speaker 2 (42:42):
I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
I wouldn't know what I'd be able to do On OnlyFans if
I had one.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
I don't know.
I think it would just get weird.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
That's crazy, but you Were telling me you grew up in
waimanalo, you went kailua umhigh school and on on this side
of the island so I've like, I'vekind of been like all over the
place, but the place I like hadthe most years that was
(43:22):
definitely Wamanalo.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
So I went to Wamanalo Elementary and then Kailua
Elementary and KailuaIntermediate and then I ended up
going to Moanalua High School,which was a change?
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah it was a whole change.
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
I went from the countryside to townside real
quick, and you know, it was justweird.
For me Waterloo was nice.
It wasn't so bad, lots ofAsians over there, but it wasn't
bad.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Did you play sports?
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Yeah, yeah, I did.
I played football.
I wasn't a starter, so you knowMe neither.
Yeah, see, like I just playedfootball just to, just to hit
someone.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
It was fun so I got hit, but yeah, same thing yeah
it was just to pretty much keepmyself in shape.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So, uh yeah, I went to Mauna Loa and it was, uh yeah
, I played football.
Surprisingly, I joined thejapanese club that's different
yeah, different, like peoplejust ask like are you from salt
lake?
No, I'm not, that's just, Ijust lived there four years were
(44:39):
you into videography in highschool or like?
Um, I was, but foolishly enoughI didn't take the classes.
I didn't really take theopportunity to see what I could
do if I started that early.
I was dumb enough to join themilitary, but it was whatever.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
How was that man?
Which branch Marines you werein it.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yeah, so it was, but I think I should have taken
videography classes in highschool, I think.
I definitely would have gottenmy footing over there, but
instead I took acting classes.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Okay, Well, you're kind of doing that.
Yeah, I feel like my whole lifewas an acting class.
I think mine is too man or somekind of fake shit but you know
what the acting class was.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Uh was a bit of a shock for me because you see
people you would not expect tobe in acting class.
Like you know, you see some ofthe silent type of people in
there and they don't talk muchwhen they're outside of acting
class.
But when we're in acting classit's like we're in our own
little world and you know peoplecan express themselves and be
(46:00):
who they want to be.
It was sad to me because I wasjust thinking to myself like
it's sad that they can't be likethis outside of class.
I can't give a fuck.
What would the other people say?
Speaker 2 (46:14):
And plus, I'm bigger than most people anyway, so
that's a luxury.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
I just slap them, but I was like you know it was just
something that's sad to thinkabout, but I'll always treasure
my time with these guys inacting class.
It was fun for me.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
Did they ever hit you up and want to try and collab
with you or try to try to workwith you on any videos?
Speaker 1 (46:41):
Well, some of these guys are doing way better than I
am in broadway, which?
Is shit yeah, which is amazingto see.
Like I think what I do is kindof like, uh, it's kind of a
little different, a little lowbar, you know.
So yeah, but my friend, myacting friends, they see what
(47:02):
I'm doing and they're just likesuper amazed and they're happy
that I'm doing it.
And I just see them goingthrough life and I'm just like
wow, you're in broadway.
That's crazy it's just.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
I just seen a broadway show.
I seen aladdin, like two weeksago on broadway and the bro, the
guy who played the genie like Iwould want to be that dude's
friend.
That guy had so much talent.
And like bro, like he knew thathe was the shit when he came on
(47:34):
stage.
Like one of his lines was the.
The um aladdin asked him likewho are you?
And he?
He looked at the crowd and hegoes I'm the guy that's about to
steal the show.
And I was like, yeah, you are.
Like it's watching.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
That level of talent is crazy I think it's because,
like you know, robin williams,when he did the genie like he
stole the movie, like everyoneonly see robin williams do his
thing, and I was just like, ifyou're gonna play as genie and
broadway from aladdin, youbetter steal the show, like this
(48:11):
isn't about aladdin, no morethis is the show yeah, and bro,
he killed it.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
And it was like I I am like looking up the guy's
name on instagram, looking athis content and I'm like, bro,
this guy is like I've never seenthat kind of talent right in
front of me and it was likewatching someone act in a movie
with special effects, live.
And I was just like, oh, I wantto check out other Broadway
(48:41):
shows.
I seen the Harry Potter one,but that wasn't singing and
dancing and stuff.
This talent was.
I didn't know people could dothis on a whim, it was, it was.
I'm just, I was blown away didyou?
Speaker 1 (48:57):
did you happen to get an interview with that guy?
Speaker 2 (48:59):
no, I there's.
No, I don't even know what Iwould say.
I'll just be like like he's,like this big bald black guy
that's gay.
But I'd just be like sign myboxers or something.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
I don't know just asking for an interview on a
zoom call.
This seems strange.
I thought I'm not going to lie.
I thought I was being strange,not gonna lie.
I thought I was.
I thought I was being orsomething, but I was like I
don't think he'd scam me.
So I totally go with it,because that's the first thing
(49:35):
people ask for is like what'syour email and phone number?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
I know I've, I have done that.
And then I get ghosted likepeople are down to call my show
and then I would, um, oh, sendme your email and phone number.
And then they're like.
And then I get ghosted Likepeople are down to come to my
show and then I would, oh, sendme your email and phone number.
And then they're like.
And then I'm thinking like Igot to approach this differently
.
Maybe if I send them my phonenumber, I'm like how do I do
this without coming across weird?
I have like proof that is legit, but I don't know.
(50:02):
Yeah, I was like, yeah, acouple of times I ran into that
problem, especially if it's agirl.
I said, oh, just send me youremail so I can send you a Zoom
link and give me your phonenumber and I'll call just to
touch base with you.
And then ghosts gone.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
I was like oh, maybe I scared them away.
I think it's like they don'texpect it to be on a zoom call,
because they're just like maybeit has like a like some kind of
studio or something you know you.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
This is my studio here.
Look at this oh, wow.
I'm literally in between my bedand my computer wow, you know
what that's.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
That's the beauty of filming wherever you want seems
professional it's not about theequipment, it's about the
content.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Although I have a cool mic I got a cool mic I
gotta say that I don't have oh,I'm just sitting here stepped on
his room so see, it's not aboutwhere we are, bro, and that's
what one blessing that I have.
With zoom, I can get guests andmake it super convenient for
(51:16):
them.
They can do it from anywhere.
I have guests that are from themainland.
I had a couple fighters thatlive in the mainland and it's um
, they're able to come on myshow and they would would not
have that opportunity if, likeit was in person.
I do some stuff in person but,yeah, most, most of it's been
through zoom and I mean it'sperfect for me.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Like I said, being the people you've interviewed
and stuff, and like it's reallyimpressive, like it's just you
have such a large following.
Like how, like, how did youknow that was gonna like pop,
like, pop off I didn't, bro.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
I was most, um, most times I'm just trying to throw
shine out people I know orfriends of friends, or people
that inspire me and like, likeI'm having with you a
conversation and, bro, if, if itresonates, it resonates, and if
it doesn't, it doesn't justlike how you think with your
(52:13):
stuff.
It's like I can put this outand if two people watch it or a
thousand people watch it for me,I had an awesome conversation
with this individual thatimpacted me in a way that I'll
keep with me forever andbasically the biggest plus for
these uh, podcast videos I haveand content is that when I'm
(52:38):
gone, my daughter can watchthese episodes and kind of get a
graphs of who her dad was, notjust as a parent but as someone
having conversations, and I hopeor she could not even give two
shits and never watch it, but Ihope like that.
That would be my goal.
You know what?
I mean yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
I think she'll totally watch it, but then
she'll see like some of yourguests were complete weirdo.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
Oh bro, I had some guests where it's like I had
some I'm not gonna mention names, but some pageant girls where
I'm talking to them and they'rejust like cookie cutter answers,
like I'm the fucking guy onstage trying to get them to be
like a pageant champion orsomething it's like just be
(53:25):
yourself, ask you what yourfavorite show is on Netflix, and
well, due to the something,it's like oh fuck, what do you
watch?
Oh jeez.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
You should have just hung up, yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
But then I won't have a show that week.
Yeah, I had to drop some dudsonce in a while.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Oh my gosh, I was just thinking about that.
I was like man, what if I waslike a cutie?
Cutie, like I was just givingyou a cuter answer.
Speaker 2 (54:04):
Bro, I had like sometimes I struggle.
It's like trying to.
It's like I asked them like afull on hard question.
They're like yes.
It's like oh fuck, give mesomething.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Are you going to elaborate on what you were
answering?
See, that's why I can't be apodcaster interviewer man like I
don't have the fuckingimpatience for that I think you
could create cool content likeyour ones with with your boys.
Speaker 2 (54:34):
It's kind of like a podcast when you guys are all
sitting on a couch and you stolemr memes equipment so mark
really didn't know we were usingthat.
Speaker 1 (54:45):
I was.
I was looking at my friend bula.
Uh, bull is like.
I didn't ask uncle mark forthis.
I was like, uh, I'm sure you'llbe okay with it.
Like I was just like why don'twe just do this?
Speaker 2 (54:57):
anyways, we'll see what he's watching a video and
he's like wait a second.
That looks like my stuff marktexted me.
Speaker 1 (55:06):
He was laughing.
He was like dude.
That's so funny I don't knowabout these and we just decided
to use them in bullet's defense.
Speaker 2 (55:15):
It was in his house, so oh okay, so you're in the
clear then, yeah we're totallyin the clear.
I was like, well, we found it,we might as well use it bro,
those kind of episodes like thatcould be a podcast and you
could drop those and I think alot of people would watch it.
I would definitely watch it.
Speaker 1 (55:36):
I hope so.
I mean, we're just three guysjust talking.
It's nothing important thatwe're talking about.
Sometimes we'll just like, like, talk about things that's
happening right now.
We were just talking about likethe whole um josh green
cracking down on fireworks andstuff and like we thought that
(55:57):
was the stupidest thing that hecould be doing, like so much
better things he could have beendoing yeah, like timing.
The timing was just like out ofnowhere.
This guy just came back in thebeginning of the year out of
nowhere.
He's like I'm the governor,like like, is it like?
Okay, yeah, where have you been?
Like we haven't exactly, butlike the rest of 2024, then you
(56:21):
come back.
Oh, this firework now he has.
Speaker 2 (56:24):
Now he has something to aim at all these fireworks
are dangerous.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
They're terrible.
It's like where have you beenthese past few months?
Like past six months?
Dude, like he was in japanthat's where he was.
Speaker 2 (56:37):
Yeah, probably, or he got paid from those fireworks,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
I'm just making trouble he came out like a, like
a character that you don't seeafter like a couple of seasons,
just to remind us he's in charge, like yeah exactly same thing
with mayor blangiardi.
Speaker 2 (57:01):
Didn't see him at all I don't know, yeah, I, I don't
care, for I think our bestpolitician is probably augie,
because he's probably the onlyreal one there, at least, and he
came on my show well, I mean,if I was blanchiardi I would go
into hiding too, after I tellthe community fuck off and yeah,
(57:24):
exactly, I don't want.
I wanted to ask you.
I have, like, this littleproblem and I've been fighting
with my fiance about it becauseI gotta solve this.
So my neighbors I live upstairsand then we the house next to
us is like on a ravinedownstairs or down behind us,
(57:47):
and they have a kid there thatis practicing on one of them.
You know those recorders, thoselittle fucking bro, this
fucking kid, like 6.30 in themorning on a weekend and bro for
one, my fiance is a bartenderso she don't get home till like
(58:11):
five and this kid, mary, had alittle lamb fucking three hours
on that thing, dude, and I'mlike the parents, I don't know
how to handle this.
Bro, I'm trying to think of acreative way to get this to stop
because I'm going to choke akid pretty soon, are?
Speaker 1 (58:34):
you sure you want my advice?
Yes, because I feel like you'dbe creative.
Yes, I'm not entirely sure I'mthe best person to tell this.
Speaker 2 (58:44):
I think you're the best person.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
Well, it would mostly involve knocking on their door
and asking them to shut the fuckup.
You know what I'm saying.
Like yo going out for threehours, the fuck are you doing?
Go outside and do that shit.
You don't have to be in yourhouse exactly bro I I don't, you
(59:11):
know, I don't want to give youguys this location away, but
like what area is this area safeto go outside the building?
Speaker 2 (59:17):
yeah, yeah in carnegie, yep, for sure do they
have like they?
Go to the fucking park, man, orto the bridge.
Speaker 1 (59:24):
Park nearby.
Speaker 2 (59:26):
Yeah, they could Pied Piper with that thing and get
all the rats to leave the bridgearea.
Speaker 1 (59:33):
It's mostly like you know, just God.
I'd hate to live next tosomeone like that.
Right, it's like the parentsbro, I go to my neighbor's house
and tell him please shut thefuck up.
I'm trying to sleep.
It's 12 in the morning.
What are you doing?
Playing a recorder.
Speaker 2 (59:55):
I'm thinking, bro, I'm going to get like fucking 15
of my friends and I'm going togive them all kazoos.
I'm going to wait until like 3in the morning and fucking kazoo
it up like right outside theparents window and be like
that's how I feel you don't wantme at your house because I'm
(01:00:15):
just gonna, I'm just gonna sneakinto their house and kazoo in
his, in his room like do it andI'm cool, like I'm super nice
about stuff like that, but bro,like mary, and they're not even
playing those different songsand it's brad, who's bro?
I can't like the only reason whyI brought it up, because
(01:00:36):
there's playing it just now andI'm like fuck oh my god.

just yours, alright, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Well, my Fiance is like Super nice and she doesn't
want me to Like Stir the pot.
They're just neighbors.
They live in the house behindus and I'm just like I don't
care.
They weren't here when I was.
They weren't here long.
I have no emotional tie to them.
Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Sometimes assertiveness is what will help
everyone else in the building,because I'm sure you're not the
only one who wants to put thework over.
Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
Bro break it.
Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
There's probably like three other neighbors who can
hear that shit too.
Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Guarantee it.
It's just like what if this kid, like when he gets older, takes
up the trombone or some shit?
I'm going to whip his ass.
Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
I'll put that trombone out the window, then
I'm going to rip the car.
This is, you know, know, it'sridiculous.
This is what I don't miss aboutapartment buildings.
Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
You know the wildest shits from your neighbors
exactly, bro, exactly, althoughI've uh, definitely, um had had
a lot of people mad at mebecause of certain things
throughout the time living inapartment buildings.
Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I can't imagine you being any kind of distractive
towards your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Very.
I shot my AK off the fuckingbalcony one time.
Oh I can't believe.
I just said that, yeah, I'vedone stupid things when I was
younger.
That definitely pissed off theneighbors.
Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
I'm lucky, some of my neighbors are scared of me.
So you know, because, likethere have been times I've
walked out of my house with athe natch in one hand and just
like in my underwear filmingcontent with one of hawaiian
spike clubs or no, no, walk outanyways.
Sometimes I just do it, just todo it and see what.
(01:03:00):
You know what the reaction islike.
You know what will know,sometimes I get the fake blood
from one of my filming stuff.
I just douse myself in bloodand then walk out with an axe.
So they go check my mail likeit's all normal.
Maybe go back in their house.
Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Fuck, I want to try that.
Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
It's fun, dude.
Sometimes the reaction is justthe one you want you gotta film
