Send a text A one-way ticket, a do-rag, and $200. That’s how Suave landed in Hawaii at 19, betting on instinct, island culture, and the kind of grind most people only romanticize. We dive into the real playbook behind that leap—why he never scripts, how he handles stares in public, and the moment streaming beat short-form videos for deeper connection. We get into the creator trenches with zero fluff: the IRL setup that keeps streams stable (why the Samsung S25 Plus and top-tier T-Mobile plan...
Send us a text A rainy city can make you feel alone even when you know everyone. That’s where Benny found himself in Portland—craving real community, steady sunshine, and a way to put faith into practice. One week in Hawaii flipped the script: pounding poi, working in the lo‘i, worship threaded with culture, and mentors who measured belief by service. School opened the door, but the heart of the move was purpose—helping kids with incarcerated parents and choosing a place where ohana isn’t a c...
Send us a text What happens when a bartender at a military-heavy honky-tonk goes viral for a slap and turns it into a professional path? We sit down with Hurricane Tee to unpack the craft behind the chaos—how a novelty “Hurricane Shot” (waiver, your choice of liquor, splash of water) became a crowd favorite, and how consent, clear communication, and safety protocols keep the fun from tipping into danger. Tee shares the real bar operations most people never see: when to cut someone off, why ke...
Send us a text What happens when sharp style meets sharper self-awareness? We sit down with Rita—EMT by training, quality officer in detox care, and a fearless fashion mind—to explore how identity, community, and emotional intelligence reshape the way we love. Her story cuts through the noise: surviving a back injury, pivoting to teach EMS, leading with compassion in inpatient detox, and stepping into a new era of personal style after major weight loss. The throughline is agency—owning what y...
Send us a text Fireworks lit the sky, but what really sparked was a candid look at how culture, money, and boundaries shape love. We sit down with Aulani—a behavior-focused counselor and hula performer—to unpack the signals we miss and the standards that save us. From Hawaii’s New Year traditions to why the street is spotless on January 2, we trace how community norms carry into parenting, dating, and the choices we make when no one’s watching. We get specific. Paper plates versus real dishe...
Send us a text First and foremost, excuse the poor sound quality of this episode. My mic malfunctioned and I had to resort to my trusty airpods. Enjoy this special episode with my cousin, Christian! Grief doesn’t end, it reshapes you—and that’s where our conversation begins. We sit down with my cousin Christian to trace a life that spans Seaside party pads, frozen Minnesota mornings, and a late-blooming career in cybersecurity, all while carrying the love and loss of his wife. The story is ra...
Send us a text Ever tried to love well while your brain is sprinting and your calendar won’t quit? We dive straight into the messy space where mental health meets relationships—how therapy, self‑awareness, and clean communication can turn chaos into something you can actually build on. With Anu co‑hosting and Sydni from 444 Hawaii in the studio, we get real about hustle culture, single parenting, and what it takes to protect your peace without ghosting the people you love. We unpack the earl...
Send us a text A first mic, a sandy shoreline, and a set of hard-won lessons about love and timing—Sage brings a full-life story that hits both the studio and the heart. We dig into how he broke into radio through production, why tedious edits matter more than hot takes, and what it really takes to balance a day job, gym sessions, content, and weekend shifts on Island 98.5. His path is equal parts grind and guidance, with a nod to mentors who opened the door and a work ethic that kept it open...
Send us a text What makes someone “from” a place, and what belongs to blood, lineage, and lived experience? We bring that question home with Kea, who grew up in Hawaii, chased opportunity in Texas, and built a marketing career that runs on clarity, guts, and well-earned access. From island casual to mainland dress codes, rice cookers to nightclub NDAs, this conversation is a guided tour through identity, ambition, and the spaces where we decide who we are. We get real about dating standards ...
Send us a text Ever wonder how a new model goes from posting beach shots to landing paid shoots and brand trips without losing herself? Kace joins us for a candid, funny, and grounded conversation about building a modeling career from scratch in Hawaii—no agencies, no shortcuts, just consistent posting, smart tagging, and a clear sense of purpose. She walks us through what “pose with a purpose” actually means, how she vets photographers with her mom‑manager, and why not every gig needs to be ...
Send us a text A single compliment in a dish pit changed everything. Kitty Pine walked us through the moment a chef called them the “best dishwasher” he’d ever seen—and how that flipped a switch from surviving to building a life in comedy. What followed wasn’t a straight shot to the spotlight, but a messy, hilarious path across Hawaii, Colorado, and Vegas, with brutal early bombs, a sudden first win, and the slow, stubborn craft of shaping ten minutes that work anywhere. We dig into how “Kit...
Send us a text A model, mom, and photographer walks into our studio and refuses to give the safe, surface version of her story. Shyla takes us from beachside test shoots to real castings, through a tough pregnancy and a three‑minute delivery, and into the uneasy middle where postpartum emotions, body changes, and the pressure to “bounce back” collide with the need to create. She opens up about breastfeeding and weight loss, hair regrowth, and how stepping into a bikini casting after birth dem...
Send us a text A cool studio, a hotter island, and a conversation that doesn’t flinch. We kick off with jokes about heat and Spam musubi, then Vicky takes us right into the heart of a marriage that never should’ve made it to the aisle—family pressure, fairytale scripts, and the quiet truth that commitment only works when two people are actually ready. From there we tear into modern dating: why “dumpster fire” might be generous, how ego and old-school gender roles still haunt good people, and ...
