Hawaii is a special place and one of the things that makes it that special is the MELTING POT that exists here. These islands are known for it’s ALOHA SPIRIT as well as it’s diverse mix of friendly people living  on an island paradise. Hawaii’s culture may be a rainbow of colors, but beneath that are deep-seated ethnic and racial tension between the the different diverse communities.

Everyone in Hawaii is a Minority. We have the LARGEST minority Population at 75% in the US.

37% ASIAN  23% WHITE  22% MULTI ETHNIC  9% NATIVE HAWAIIAN  8% HISPANIC 2% BLACK  1% NATIVE AMERICAN AND NATIVE ALASKAN

This week we dive deep into the CULINARY Culture of HAWAII with Brian Berusch who just recently released a book with Bill Tobin called:

Food to Write Home About…Hawaii

Hawaii restaurateur Bill Tobin tells the story of his love affair with Hawaiian cuisine—and all the nuances associated with Hawaiian fare. He does so through a series of affectionate letters to his mother, in their Midwest USA farm town. Through these highly personal letters, Tobin and author Brian Berusch explore every ingredient, dish and the chefs behind them—which about-faced Tobin’s vocation into a career “Foodist” on the islands, including a stint as the president of the Hawaii Restaurant Association. Through each chapter we see the evolution of Tobin’s palate, right through to the meeting of his wife and the start of his own family, whom are still highly immersed in the food arts there.

The Culinary Culture of HAWAII stands alone in the middle of the Pacific…You really can’t have the type of fusion food that Hawaii has from all over the world and we discuss what makes Food special here and Hawaii and how chefs are changing the way they cook around the world because of it.

We have done a lot of Podcasts over the years, but this week we have a guest who may just shatter your idea of that Perfect Paradise you have imagined and the Price you will be paying to make it here. We have to say that the views expressed on this show do not necessarily reflect those of Bruce or Waydes and at times we both were taken back by what he had to say. Both of us have never experienced the “local betrayal” that Glenn talks about but we have heard this mentality does exist  here!!

Glenn Mercante takes us deep into his story from the mainland to the island of Oahu and breaks down some of the issues and concerns he has faced while here. This Podcast doesn’t hold back so get ready for the F-BOMBS to fly from this New Yorker!  He tells some hard truths for him which you can use as you wish.

 

We both took some time off last few weeks…much needed, but here we are back once again to talk a bunch of shit about nothing because we have been 110% NOT prepared to do a podcast this week…but fuck it…You want to hear a podcast right? So we did one talking about absolutely nothing at all…it’s called TALKING STORY and we just shoot the shit about the NEWS and COMMENTS you guys left…Next week we will be back in full form to talk about something…who knows what, but I’m sure it will be Fucking Fabulous!

 

 

No one wants to talk about LEAVING HAWAII…but at some point we all should or must leave…may it be for vacation, a trip back home, for work, or unfortunately because we can no longer make ends meet in Hawaii. Even those BORN & RAISED sometimes leave Hawaii because they are going off to school or can’t make ends meet anymore in Paradise. It happens…it happens to the best of us and at some point we need to all face it for one reason or another.

We’ll be the first to let everyone know…Leaving Hawaii is a hard thing to do and there are many reasons why someone would leave…No matter the reason…leaving Hawaii is NEVER EASY…but we’ll be the first to also tell you…returning to Hawaii ALWAYS IS!

The LONG AWAITED Podcast Episode is here!

THIS EPSIODE IS A 100% ADULT PODCAST THIS WEEK…so please, if sex isn’t your thing…move along…move along.

It’s taken well over 100 podcasts to talk about one of the greatest things about Hawaii…THE SEX!  Sex in Hawaii because of it’s tropical weather and romantic undertones can jump start and revitalize your relationship with your loved one and best friend. If your sex life is boring or down in the dumps let this podcast be a jumping off point to get you guys down the right path of adventure and excitement with your lover!

This podcast is going to be fun, but it’s also going to take in some serious tones on the fact that SEX is an important part of a loving relationship…it’s not the most important thing, but if you are not close to your partner physically and you are not willing to be affectionate with them it could put a strain on your relationship and even develop a loss of trust between the two of you. So…being adventurous and taking some risks could be an easy way to bring that fire back into your relationship and get rid of your stress!

THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE than HAWAII to set your relationship on FIRE once again! May you already live here or plan on moving here you should be willing to get out of your comfort zone and try something new with your lover…trust me…you won’t regret it. Not only will your life with your lover change, your life in your day to day will change. You will take more chances and more risks because once you have sex in public places it will give you new confidence in every aspect of your life.

If you have a sexual fantasy HAWAII can make that fantasy come true, but we are living in the real world so we need to take some real world situations into consideration…This isn’t a ROMANTIC PORNO people!!!

SOME SERIOUS THINGS TO CONSIDER:

*STANDING POSITIONS ONLY if at all possible

*KEEP YOUR CLOTHS ON if at all possible

*NO FOREPLAY if at all possible

*DON’T FILM A SEXUAL MOVIE SCENE IN YOUR HEAD…if you do you will be sadly disappointed!

*YOU HAVE 10-15 MINUTES TOPS! Don’t push the time or you may get caught!

*NO FINISHING…unless you guys are fast…I think the idea is to get excited about doing something taboo and then thinking about it on the drive home and finishing there!

*DON’T PLAN PUBLIC SEX…you’ll fuck it up one way or another…just let it happen, but always be ready and dressed for it just in case you two are feeling horny.

*IF YOU GET CAUGHT somehow have a way to slide out of it and have an excuse…The only thing you should really have planned well ahead of time is a good story or excuse for why your man has you bent over or you are facing him and grinding…lol…Good luck with that…lol

Today we sit down with good friends who have been with us from the start…Jason Johnston and Kristina Johnston…Hawaii 4-0 has a huge back story and we’ll be discussing Jason’s story and his dream to come to Hawaii on this episode.

Jason has had a Passion for Hawaii since his accident that left him without mobility. Kristina got him the LOST seasons to watch while he couldn’t move and the rest is history. Jason worked his butt off to make Hawaii not just something he saw on a show, but a reality in person. With hard work and the support of his amazing wife Jason made it to Hawaii…again and again and again and in this epsiode he kept his TURNING THE BIG 4-0 DREAM ALIVE by being in Hawaii.

There are many stories on how we all came to Hawaii…this is just one of those perfect example on how lucky we all truly are to live Hawaii.

 

 

For people born here or those who have moved here a while ago…even those just here for an extended vacation…If there is on thing you shouldn’t do…DON’T take HAWAII for GRANTED! We think a lot of people do…they get caught up thinking that tomorrow it will all be there for them and they can do whatever they planned to do today tomorrow instead.

It doesn’t work that way…

This is probably something many people who live in Hawaii don’t really think about, perhaps not untill it’s too late.  Maybe it’s a couple leaving from a trip that had in Hawaii and questioning..”Did we really take all fo Hawaii in? Did we really live in each moment we had here? Or maybe it’s that person who has to leave Hawaii after living here for a year or two? Did you make the most of your time in Hawaii?

You need to cherish every sunrise and sunset…every beach and waterfall…every mountain view or cloud formation, the trade winds on your face and afternoon showers…don’t run for cover or in the house…stay out and let that shower hit your face….Did you take the time to watch the gecko battles on your lanai or backyard in the early morning hours right before sunrise as they stake our territory rights or in the early evening hours under your backyard lights as they grab positions for their evening meals.   Yoy MUST enjoy every moment you have in this Magical place, because tomorrow it could be gone.

 

 

If you don’t have any interest in politics in Hawaii and in general…well…this episode isn’t for you…but if you want to hear a fucking smack down on WTF is happening in our political system these days you may get a little upset with this “No Holds Barred ” Episode cuz we have a guest with Ballz on this show today,  Chelsea Lyons Kent…plus…what’s sexier than a women who knows her politics, doesn’t back down and actually looks like Tina Fey…HELLO!

Chelsea Lyons Kent at this time is known for her appearance during the national television broadcast of the Democratic National Convention presidential nomination roll call, where she gives the middle finger to the status quo of the Democratic Party. The gesture infuriated many in Hawaii, but made her a hero to the die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters.

Please check out her story here…you may be surprised how the system actually works…so much so you may just become as pissed off as Chelsea.

No matter who you Vote for in this Election things are about to change in this Country for the worse and I say worst because it must be worse before it gets better.. At least that’s what I think, AlohaBruce has a completely different take, he actually thinks this country is great and the process works. He also has some facts to back up that bizarre thought LOL.

People like Chelsea and I believe A REVOLUTION is coming…you can see the writing on the wall…PEOPLE ARE PISSED OFF may it be Bernie supporters or Trump supporters…The Status Quo can be no more…Over the next four years who every gets in…this country will be tested like no other time, because the test will come from within the country itself…The young will rise and the United States will be changed forever! Prepare yourselves…peaceful or violent…REAL CHANGE IS COMING!

It sometimes takes a lifetime to find their authentic selves, but for  Hawaii Born and Los Angeles-based artist JoLivi, it took a little loss, some good ‘ol fashioned heartbreak, and a newfound sense of confidence to find who she truly is as an artist.

 Formerly known as LeiHoku and today known as Jolivi…Jo has gone through a lot of difficult things from her grandfather passing to her going through a really bad breakup. Jo got her heart broken over and over, but she kept going back to the relationship and it made her feel things she never felt. It made her think about things on a deeper level. It changed her. It helped her grow as a person and as a writer, so she got my pen and paper out and started writing in a way she never written before.

Through the process joLivi found her true voice. The result has become a Electro-Pop sound of songs filled with passion and a personal side hailing from the darker recesses of her mind and heart. Songs like GAMES, DON’T MATTER and CHAINS.

Grammy nominated Brandon Friesen, who has racked up six Juno Awards, produced her EP. He helped her find the inner soul of her voice in a way that she was able to share her feelings – whether it’s being sexy or reserved or just allowing herself to feel sadness. Jo’s vocal emotion is present throughout her music.

When she use to be LEIHOKU here in Hawaii her Hawaii music was amazing as well…We have several videos from her early days in Hawaii…The past may be the past, but it is who you are, where you came from…and today Jo has learned so much…Her future is so very bright…There are only big things on the Horizon for her…We wish her blessings and the very best her way.
