The REALationship Method
Hurricane SLAP Shot, No Dating Customer Rule, and Handling BO with Hurricane Tee
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 keys get held until morning, how over-serving can put you in court, and what great bouncers do in the first 30 seconds of a bad vibe.
We also get into the human side of nightlife. Tee talks about boundaries—why she never dates customers, how to decline a date without drama, and why people-pleasing is a red flag that erodes self-respect. The conversation stretches into tricky relationship territory, including what to do if a partner’s porn history shocks you, how to approach curiosity without shame, and why assumptions break trust faster than blunt honesty. Along the way, we laugh through the sensory truths of bar work, from BO and stale breath to the kindness of handing someone a napkin and a mint when words won’t land.
Rooted in Hawai‘i, the episode brings island life into focus—Kailua roots, Big Island night markets, favorites like squid luau and kahlua pig with poi, and a straight talk on cost of living, military culture, and mutual respect. Tee’s five-year vision is sharp: open her own bar, plant deeper roots, collect passport stamps, and build a life that’s both grounded and free. Between slap mechanics, line-dancing regulars, and the small rituals that keep a community safe, this is a fast-moving, funny, and thoughtful ride through modern bar culture and the relationships it holds.

SPEAKER_08Yeah, really? You know, I can see that, I can see that.
SPEAKER_05You know, you know, I I just got rid of my clerb clothes though.
SPEAKER_08Your what? My clerb clothes. Your club clothes? Yeah. Like the like the scant clothes and shit?
SPEAKER_05Like the clothes I would wear to the club.
SPEAKER_08Oh, the club, huh? Are you like done with that?
SPEAKER_05I think so.

SPEAKER_05Yeah. Because um, when we found out I was pregnant, um, my boyfriend, he was like, even after you give birth, I think I'm just done drinking and stuff. Really?
SPEAKER_06I was like, oh, I guess. Oh shit. I guess we're done going out.

SPEAKER_03No, no, we can't can't take it.
SPEAKER_08Out of girl, that's what's up. Yeah, um, this might be a little sideways, but have you seen like guys pushing up on females and um like try to put stuff in drinks and stuff? Have you have has that ever happened to you? Or has that ever happened to whiskey?
SPEAKER_03I mean, I I feel like in the past it has, but our bouncers are really good now. Like that shit don't fly. Really? Yeah, they're out. As soon as a girl says a guy made them feel uncomfortable, boom, they're out.
Names, Hyphens, And Family Traditions
SPEAKER_08Oh, okay, okay. That's good. That's real good. Has that happened in when you were Clerbin? Um, bouncers would take out the guys, you know, like that first hint of yo, this person's making me feel super uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_05Uh, I usually go with like a big group of friends. So I've never been in a situation where I felt uncomfortable. Yeah. But I don't know. I'm pretty, I don't pay attention to my surroundings too much.
SPEAKER_08Obviously, Anu. Um, T, let me ask you, uh, how did you get into this bar life?
SPEAKER_03Uh I'm a Neppo baby.
SPEAKER_08What does that mean? Oh, nepotism. Yeah. Also, who owns the bar?
SPEAKER_03So my auntie used to own the bar.
SPEAKER_08Okay.
SPEAKER_03And it was right after COVID. I was like freshly 21. And I was like, hey, you know, like if you're hiring, hire me. And then, yeah, it's been four years now. She no longer owns the bar, but I just stayed.
SPEAKER_08Did you have to go through the proper channels to get like, like, say, license and everything? Because I could understand there's like a big hefty fine if you're not licensed to like serve alcohol and shit.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I mean, you have to go through liquor commission, you have to take the test and something like that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08You passed?
unknownOf course.
SPEAKER_08First time or second time?
SPEAKER_03First time.
SPEAKER_08Is it that easy?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. It's common sense.
SPEAKER_08Is it really?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Give me a common sense question because common is not so common.
SPEAKER_03Not so common girl. Um, it's like, what is the legal drinking limit in Hawaii? How do you know if somebody is drunk? No, like how do you know if somebody is drunk?
SPEAKER_08Oh, um possible choice.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay.
SPEAKER_08I think I got a 50-50 chance here. Um, what is the legal limit? Like, um.08. I think it's the same on the mainland too. To drive. Oh, to drive.
SPEAKER_05So I mean drink to your heart's content. Just don't get behind the wheel. Uber.
SPEAKER_08Do you take uh keys away from people too?
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, 100%. Oh, that's good. Because I mean, if somebody drives, they get into an accident, then I'm on the ringer. Like, I have to I would have to show up to court because I'm the one that served them.
SPEAKER_08How does that work? Like, it's kind of it's the it's the person's responsibility, the individual's responsibility. Like, if he or she gets so hammered that she's driving, how is that your fault? Is it because you're like, oh here.
SPEAKER_03As a as a yeah, as a business and as the bartender, like you're liable.
SPEAKER_08Really?
SPEAKER_03Over serving somebody, you know.
SPEAKER_08Oh, so how do you get how does how do these people get their keys back?
SPEAKER_03Come back the next day.
SPEAKER_08Oh, really? Yeah. If the person's taking an Uber, are you giving them their keys or is it a next day type of situation?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, after taking an Uber, like we've ordered Ubers for people before. Yeah. A bar that cares.
SPEAKER_08Oh, that's that's super good.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Wow. Look at this. I'm just learning all this shit. Um, before we get to these questions, uh, or keep going. Um, give me a bar tip. Like to keep your bartender happy, you have to tip her.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_08All the time? Is it at the end of the night thing, or is it like every time you're giving them something?
SPEAKER_03I mean, everybody that says, oh yeah, I'll tip you at the end of the night, 90% of them forget.
SPEAKER_04Ew. Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_03I mean, you get drunk throughout the night, right? You are you gonna remember the seven drinks and four shots you got that you paid for?
SPEAKER_05No, you know, so I would keep my tab open and then just pay at the end.
SPEAKER_08Talking about tabs open, has there ever been a person that finagled their way to getting a free drink from an open tab? It's like, oh, I'm with them, but not really with them. And their tab was open. Has that ever happened? I'm pulling this from like a TV show.
SPEAKER_03Nah, not r no, not really, because my bar is like a regular base bar, it's like a bunch of regulars.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So most of the time I know who they're trying to put their drink under, and I'm like, hey, so and so just put your drink on their tab on your tab. And they're like, yeah, that's fine. I told them to, or whatever. Because they're all friends.
SPEAKER_08Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03So.
SPEAKER_08Okay. Uh, Miss T, single, uh, taken, complicated, or are you just mingling, or you just don't give a rat's hoo on what you're doing?
SPEAKER_03I'm single and I don't give a rat's ass about it.
SPEAKER_08There it is. That's what's up. Okay, next question. Um, these guys and gals that are trying um that come to the bar, uh how are they um like say, do they pursue you? I mean, you're not ugly. You so I mean, I like, are they hitting you up? Are they trying to like hit at that? I'm just saying.
SPEAKER_03I mean, name a bartender that doesn't get hit on.
SPEAKER_08Um, a couple guys. I know, I know a couple guys and shit. Sometimes people got an RB.
SPEAKER_03I'm not a bartender.
SPEAKER_08Oh, okay. So how do you let them down easily? Like these guys and girls that pursue.
Nightlife Work, Studios, And Minimalism
SPEAKER_03Oh, the easiest answer is I don't date customers.
SPEAKER_08Oh. Has anyone ever gone above and beyond and said, you know what? I ain't gonna figure I ain't gonna be a customer no more.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah, I've I've had that too before, but it's like, no, but see, you started as my customer, so it doesn't count.
SPEAKER_08Really? Huh.
SPEAKER_03That's clear on business.
SPEAKER_08That's clever shit. Um, and then with these okay, so has anyone ever waited for you to get off your, you know, your shift to talk to you and pursue?
SPEAKER_03No, we take too long. To close. Oh, really? Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Oh, so you'd be closing like at four or five? Or like what are the hours? What's whiskey takes hours? I don't know.
SPEAKER_03Um, really? Everybody's out by 1.45.
SPEAKER_08Is it is it a Hawaii thing? It's two o'clock, like two is the the standard.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, then if you want to stay open till four, there's like a cabaret license.
SPEAKER_08Okay.
SPEAKER_03All the prices are more expensive.
SPEAKER_08Mmm. There's this place in um, because my wife and her best friend went to the to this bar slash club. It's in, I think it's I'm right next to like the Pearl City Mall.
SPEAKER_02Jeez.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. That's like I picked her up like super late. Why is that club like open so late? Or is it just people just hanging out?
SPEAKER_03Nah, they have their cabaret license.
SPEAKER_08Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03So they close at four.
SPEAKER_08Oh.
SPEAKER_03But the good thing about over there is they serve food late. I think their kitchen closes at like three.
SPEAKER_08Really?
SPEAKER_03Two, three o'clock.
SPEAKER_08Huh.

SPEAKER_05You know why? Because my friends they get sections, so we're not in the crowd. Yeah, like when we do venture off into the dance for it's very brief, and we're like, gotta go. Cause in the BO.
SPEAKER_08I hate that stuff, especially when they're sweaty and you're like rebbing up on you.
SPEAKER_01Oh no!
SPEAKER_08You're like, excuse me, and you're like, oh you know what I'm saying? Oh my gosh. Um, I went to a club one time. Out, it was out here too with my wife, and I was trying to get to the DJ stage or whatever, right? And I passed by some drunk people, and I felt that sweat. Oh my gosh, I like I felt super nasty, and it was like that sticky, salty feeling, you know?

SPEAKER_03Isn't that like a common thing?
SPEAKER_08I don't know.
SPEAKER_03I mean, you shouldn't be homie hopping.
SPEAKER_05I mean I'm gonna order a hurricane shot from T and make her slap your ass if you can date one of my ads.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like what?
SPEAKER_08Huh. It's different on the mainland then.
SPEAKER_03Who thinks different on the mainland? It's because you guys don't have enough respect for each other. Like that's what it is. No, but I think it's like my friends would never.
SPEAKER_05I think because we're on an island and it's so small and like it's just that's weird. It's weird.
SPEAKER_08What what if y'all ended like on like good terms? Like y'all y'all never even more so like okay, so for for example, if uh I was talking to a girl, but we never we never like we never smashed or anything. We didn't even kiss, but we like I took her out on a on a date, and I was like, yo, this this ain't cool for us, yada yada yada. My boy asks, like, hey, are you cool if I well then that's not a partner?
SPEAKER_03That's not our partner. You went on one date.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, okay, but if there's like a relation relation, then it's yeah, but let's say it's like a week or a two-week thing. Is there is there like a time limit?
Dating Boundaries And “I Don’t Date Customers”
SPEAKER_05It's not a partner. That's still like I feel like a partner is somebody that you commit to for however long. Uh-huh. But if it's just talking and it just doesn't work, and it's like whatever. Yeah. And it depends on what the reason was that it didn't work out. At least that's how I see it.
SPEAKER_08Huh. But valid. It's valid. How about you, T? Same?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, why would you who counts a two-week relationship? Y'all are just talking. Okay, middle school lovers. Yeah, like I mean, people do that. What's your favorite color? Like, oh, just because you know my favorite color now, now we're dating. Like, mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_08So would you prefer, excuse me, would you prefer a hey, you and I are together, or would you be my girl to like establish everything out there? Or the whole assume thing, like, oh, because I know your favorite color, because we went on a few dates, now we're together.
SPEAKER_03Nah, don't assume. Assumptions don't work out.
SPEAKER_08Makes an ass, huh? Good, good, good, good. I hope these high schooler kids are um knowing this because they're jumping around. Um, yeah. I mean, I got asked. Like some high school kids, some high school seniors, they're like, Oh, I saw your pod. I'm like, Hey Uncle. I was like, oh shit. Yeah, you know, I accepted that shit, you know what I'm saying? Have you been called an aunt yet?
SPEAKER_05I get called auntie all the time, and I'm just like still cringe a little, but I can't say anything because I'm a mom.
SPEAKER_08So how old are these kids that's calling you auntie?
SPEAKER_05Oh my gosh. I had like kids at like the Chick-fil-A line, they're like, have a good day, Auntie.
SPEAKER_08And I'm like, do you do you feel some type of way?
SPEAKER_05Yes, because you're all of like five years younger. Okay, I graduated high school ten years ago, but it feels like five. But still.
SPEAKER_08How about you, T? Like, are you are you called auntie now?
SPEAKER_03Oh, all the time. I mean, how does that make you feel? Kind of my whole life I've been called Auntie because my family's so young, the age differences are so weird that like I have nieces and nephews that are like starting to have kids. They're like old enough to be out at the clubs and stuff like that. I'm like, so it doesn't really bother me too much. But if I'm standing in like the store or whatever, like, oh Auntie, did you need any help?
SPEAKER_05Now you know which one gets me is when like the people who I see are older than me and they're like, oh sis, and I'm like, sis.
SPEAKER_08Oh, you became sis. Is there is there an age range where the old people could start calling you sis? Or bro. Is it 27?
SPEAKER_04I guess so.
SPEAKER_08How about you? Like, has the old people been calling you sis? Has that happened yet?
SPEAKER_03Uh they kinda do the Tita. That's they'll do Tita to me, especially behind the bar. Like, oh Tita, or or Bebe, whatever. Thank God. Cause I mean, if I had like somebody older than my mom calling me sis, I think I would I'd clock out. I'd cringe. I'd clock out. I'd cringe. I'd be like, huh, I I gotta I gotta go.
SPEAKER_04I gotta do it. I gotta go do something.
SPEAKER_01I gotta leave it. Do I got wrinkles? Like, what is going on? Like red light therapy.
SPEAKER_08Oh man. When the first time that you got called Aunt, did you Auntie? Auntie, yeah. Like, did you feel like a young self, like a part of you just died?
SPEAKER_05Nah, it's not that serious. I mean, we joke about it, but really like I feel like when kids call you auntie, it's like a sign of respect. So it's whatever. I'm just being dramatic right now.
SPEAKER_08Oh, how about you T? First time got called auntie. Not from your family members, but like, let's say a random, like a high school kid just Oh yeah, the first time, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I was like, am I that old? Like, I swear I'm not that old, but huh.
SPEAKER_08So what would you want these kids calling you then? If they didn't know you. Sub cuz. Oh cuz. Sup cuz. Yeah, honestly. What's the term? Hey, honey girl. Oh, hell no. Oh no. Hey, don't use honey girl. I ain't using that shit. Uh but what yeah, what would they use? What would they use then?
SPEAKER_03No, I I think now it's it's fine. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04We've come to terms with it.
SPEAKER_08Come to terms, huh?
SPEAKER_0326 having high schoolers call me auntie, but whatever.
SPEAKER_08Here we go. I got one. Um, this is from uh an another um person. I caught my significant other watching same-sex porn. How do I move on from it?
SPEAKER_05Okay, did the question come from a girl or a guy?
SPEAKER_00That makes a difference, honestly.
SPEAKER_08Uh it came from a girl and the guy was watching. Fuck out. The guy was watching gay porn.
SPEAKER_05Falk out.
SPEAKER_08Meaning like leave?
SPEAKER_05I I mean, okay, I think you have to have a conversation with them and like figure out like, is this just curiosity or like it's in the it's in the browser.
SPEAKER_08So it's just like she opened it, she she opened. I'm assuming, and this is like my little storytelling. She was going on a computer, opened up a browser, he forgot to clear the history, and he saw search gay porn. Men on men. How does she move on from this tea? How would you handle that?
SPEAKER_03Um your significant other is Well, first of all, you should probably check his phone to see if he has grinder on there, too. I mean.
SPEAKER_05See, I told you, men are not cheating with females, they're cheating with other men.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you know why? Because they're the no, the amount of uh I'm telling you, there are no gay guys, but the amount of gay guys that I have met, or even like transgender women like that have sex they were like fooling around with all these straight guys.
SPEAKER_08Straight. How is that?
Hours, Licenses, And Late-Night Food
SPEAKER_05Like, why uh I think is it curiosity or is I think men are just more ashamed to like explore their sexuality, so they try to keep it more down low and stuff.
SPEAKER_03I think she should also have a conversation with him on whether or not he's interested in pegging because she could save the marriage that way, or or s save the relationship that way.
SPEAKER_05Because if he's I'm not doing that, I don't care how much I love you, you gotta go.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, eight nothing going up this wear area.
SPEAKER_03If that's what he wants, like I don't know. Could it be me, but at least her own.
SPEAKER_08What if it was girl girl? Is there a difference between girl girl and guy guy?
SPEAKER_05I feel like there's more bisexual women than men, so it's more not acceptable, but it's more the norm.
SPEAKER_08The girl girl.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05But you don't notice that? I feel like there's more openly bisexual women than bisexual men.
SPEAKER_08This is true. I've I've noticed that. I've noticed that, yeah.
SPEAKER_05But I think when it's a man, women freak out a little bit too much, too.
SPEAKER_08Why do you think that is? Um, if it's a man, that's like bi both into men and women. Or even like pan. Pan is like you're in love with someone's brain.
SPEAKER_05Didn't we Google this last time?
SPEAKER_08We sure fucking did. We sure did, and Google fucked up and we used Chat GBT. Remember that? So yeah, why do you think that is?
SPEAKER_03T I think because when women found out that like a guy is bisexual, most times they think that he's automatically gay. Like, oh, if you took it before, then what if it's not sexual? No, but like that's I think that's like Immediately what they think. You know, it's like, oh like you bent over for somebody else kind of thing.
SPEAKER_08Is it is it gay if you got the tendencies but you're not?
SPEAKER_04Like you're just curious? Or yeah, no, no, like you What do you mean gay tendencies? Like okay, so with guys flamboyant?
SPEAKER_08Yeah. Is that a little fruity or like what if you're like a flamboyant person but you're into the like the girls? Or what if you're for a girl, like what if you're like you like wearing masculine clothing, but you still like guys? Does that like first sight you're already put in the clouds?
SPEAKER_05No, I mean that's completely different. Your personality and what you your preference in relationship is two completely different things. I know girls who are who dress like very tomboyish, like streetwear, whatever, who like men. Yeah. I don't think you can judge somebody just off of how they like to express themselves.
SPEAKER_08Why do people do that? Why do why do people like judge off first sight? Off first reps. Ignant.
SPEAKER_05They judge before they know somebody.
SPEAKER_08Do people judge you like that, T? Like, um, like first sight. It's like, oh, like, I don't know if you dress like this every day, but if they seen you, if people seen you like the way you dress and everything, like, do they would they think something different of you?
SPEAKER_03I think I just go through so many different styles that people don't know what to think. Oh, I'll be in like my Aloha print and everything like I'll get dressed up or like I'll wear like my my street wear or whatever. But at work it's different. Like I have to wear like the bar clothes and whatever. So if they see me at work and then they see me outside, it's two different people.
SPEAKER_08Facts. Because um, I'm wearing the uniform like every day, right? And when people see me like outside clothes, they're like, oh shit, you wear kicks, or yeah, oh snap, motherfucker, you you actually wear like fitted caps, you know, like it's different. So yeah.
SPEAKER_05Oh I think people just judge people way too much.
SPEAKER_08Is that a big I know it's a big thing in in Cali because they try to like just try to see your clothes and that's like your status, right? Is it big here? Like, has that ever happened to y'all where oh man, the bigger the chain, you must be rich, or you know, like the more brand clothes you got. Huh. Huh. Or hollow. Or I don't know.
SPEAKER_03Or 10K, hollow, like I mean, it's something. If their neck is turning green.
SPEAKER_08Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Or if that thing is a little too orange.
SPEAKER_08I've never seen that. I've seen the green, but I've never what do you mean by orange?
SPEAKER_03Like the like if it's too yellow, you can tell it's not real gold. If it's plated, like when it gets older, like it starts turning darker instead of like and then when it's like freshly plated, it's like kind of like greenish yellow. I worked. I worked at a jewelry store too, so I I would see some of these people coming in with their like wigs with your face 15 millimeter, like Milanos and stuff like that, and they're like dipping it.
SPEAKER_08Oh, is that how they like say uh is that how people would get like sold on on Facebook Marketplace? Like they would do stuff like that.
SPEAKER_03Nah, and I think nah, I think everyone here wants to meet at a jewelry store. Like, we're testing that.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Oh, interesting.
SPEAKER_05Smart person.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean, if you think you're buying a 15 millimeter rope chain off Facebook Marketplace for a thousand dollars, you just got scammed. Scammed.
Viral Slap To Power Slap Contract
SPEAKER_08Mmm. Mm-mm. Scammed bitch. Next question. How to cancel a date? Um You got asked, you guys got asked out on a date. How do you cancel on that? Someone was asking, a female. Woman. A woman was asking.
SPEAKER_06Cancel.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like I'm like just a little bit.
SPEAKER_08Like do you guys make up you guys make up like T, I want to take you out on a date. What do you say?
unknownT.
SPEAKER_03Yes, and then change it. And then you'd be like, oh, something, something came up kind of thing.
SPEAKER_08Like So if you're not interested, you come up with is it usually a lie or is it usually like, oh, I'm not interested?
SPEAKER_05I think it depends on what the situation is. What made me want to cancel?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_05Like if something really came up, then cancel it real easy. If somebody if the person did something that like I don't like, if I feel like it's not somebody who I need to be honest, who I just come up with an excuse and then ghost them.
SPEAKER_08What if it was your f what if it was a close friend, a friend that's finally shooting their shot? How do you cancel on that?
SPEAKER_05I value our re our friendship more than like I don't want to risk our friendship, so I think we should just keep it here how it is.
SPEAKER_08Huh. That's good. That's good. Uh as a guy that would hear that, I'd be like, Man, you let that motherfucker go out. You know, like you went out with fucking Bob. We're he's in our friend group. What's the difference with me? Da-da-da-da-da. What's your rebut?
SPEAKER_05You're a better friend than Bob. I don't give a fuck about losing Bob as a friend.
SPEAKER_08Good job, Anu. How about you, T?
SPEAKER_03Oh, that's exactly how it's. Oh, right? Yeah. She ate.
SPEAKER_08She ate that motherfucker. That's cool. That's good. I like that. Um, I like that answer. Why do you think people beat around the bush? When it comes to, you know, canceling like that.
SPEAKER_03I think people are too afraid to hurt others' feelings nowadays. Sometimes it's okay.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Like, be blunt.
SPEAKER_05I think a lot of people are scared to be honest about how they feel.
SPEAKER_08Oh, this is true.
SPEAKER_05Like, I don't know, not me, but other people.
SPEAKER_08Like they're more people pleasing.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Yeah?
SPEAKER_03I think that's a big issue.
SPEAKER_08Is that a red flag with someone? Like, like, say you're starting to get to know someone that you're interested in and you found out he slash she is a people pleaser. Yes. Oh, jinx. Y'all both at y'all get slurping.
SPEAKER_03It'll make me feel like you have no backbone. Yeah. Like if you are gonna bend over backwards for all these people because you're afraid to hurt their feelings, then you don't have enough self-respect to stand up for yourself. How do you have enough self-respect to stand up for yourself? And then if something were to happen with me, you you won't be able to do the same. Facts. Facts.
SPEAKER_05I think I just don't like that because when you're a people pleaser, people will like walk all over you and me as a friend. I don't like seeing that. And I'm gonna say something, and then I'm gonna get I don't be the asshole. It's bad. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08How do you handle a and uh this could go out too too uh T um a friend that's like too much into your business? And that's coming, you know, like right after this question. But yeah, how do you handle if like a friend of yours is like too all up in your shiz?
SPEAKER_05Uh tell them back the fuck up.
SPEAKER_08Uh-huh. Basically, right?
SPEAKER_05No, I like it depends what their intention are.
SPEAKER_08Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_05You know, like if somebody's trying to tell me how to live my life, I'm gonna tell them, well, it's my life.
SPEAKER_08Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_05So either support it or keep it moving.
SPEAKER_08But is there a graceful way to do it?
SPEAKER_03If they're your friend, then you should be able to speak to them like that.
SPEAKER_08This is true. As a guy.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, but I mean, like, to my friends, I wouldn't say like that, but you know, that's like the message that comes out. Like, okay, I get what you're saying, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna do what I want to do. And I had to learn that about my other friends too, is like I would give them advice and then they turn around and do the exact opposite. I would be like, but then I had to realize that this is other people's lives, it's not my life. I can give you advice all I want, uh-huh. Or be in your business and like tell you how I feel, but at the end of the day, you're gonna do what you want to do.
SPEAKER_08So this is true.

SPEAKER_08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, cool, cool, cool. How about you?
SPEAKER_05Um, Kahlua Pig and Poi.
SPEAKER_08Really? Oh, how how about like the ones like they sell on the side of the street? Do you have a favorite spot or do you have a favorite go-to or whatnot?
SPEAKER_05My neighborhood, we don't really sell stuff on the street. We used to have a um Wanapua truck that drove through, but he hasn't been around.
SPEAKER_08How about you tea?
SPEAKER_03Favorite spot on the street. There's this place um in Hilo that has Hawaiian food. They do like the Friday night, Friday night Hilo night market.
SPEAKER_08Is that the um is that the trucks that they're like in a square and then in the middle there's like some type of awning where people would like play music or whatnot? Is it that near No?
SPEAKER_03It's like by like Hilo Bayfront area, they have like the farmer's market or whatever, and Friday nights they have like more vendors that come in. They serve like Hawaiian food over there, it's like called Kimo and Melia's. I had them um cater my godson's first birthday recently. Yeah, and everybody was like, oh, the food is so good. But they also have like a food truck too in like Pahoa area, KL. So that's Big Island. I think you're I'm here. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Your family on the Big Island?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, my parents moved up after I graduated high school. Oh yeah, cheaper to get out of.
SPEAKER_08Is it really cheaper? Yeah. I thought everything in Hawaii is expansive.
SPEAKER_05Well, Big Island, it's not as uh developed, I would say. Like they don't have tall buildings and I think out there.
SPEAKER_08I don't remember.
SPEAKER_05It's all straight rockin' land.
SPEAKER_08Is it?
SPEAKER_05Pretty bad.
SPEAKER_08Shoot. Well, the only times I'm there is like when I'm like training or whatever. So I'll like I've never I haven't had a chance to venture out.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. I took my kids to uh Kona for uh 4th of July. Uh-huh. That was the first time we actually like went around the island and stuff, because we usually just stay in Waikaloa, stay at the hotels. But we went to like Waimea and Waipeo Valley and all of that, and I was like, oh shit. It's real nice out there. Is it very peaceful out of the hustle and bustle?
SPEAKER_08Oh. T, do you like the hustle and bustle? Like, like, say if I dropped you in New York, are you able to like survive? Or would you be like, oh fuck this, take me back?
SPEAKER_03No, I'll be able to survive, but yeah, take me back. I don't want to be like in New York too, aren't they a bunch of assholes? Yeah. And like you can't trust nobody. Let me give you a shot.
SPEAKER_05Nah, but I think uh local kids should experience the mainland though.
SPEAKER_08Do you have any plans on like say move venturing out there, like moving for like two years and coming back? Or has that ever that has that ever crossed your mind?
SPEAKER_03Moving to the mainland?
SPEAKER_08Yeah, I mean I mean not move, move, but you know, stay out there for like oh, my bad, for a like a good predominant time, like let's say two, three to five years or some shit.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean, but the thing that I was always afraid of too was it's moving back. Yeah, because you left when it was already expensive. You're gonna move back and it'll be more expensive than you remember it because cost of living goes up like crazy.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, yeah, uh I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I feel like that's like a lot of issues that um like all these local families that move to Vegas, they want to buy a house and like kind of save up money and then come back here and buy a house. It's so hard for them.
SPEAKER_08This is true. Um, to get my career, I used, of course, military, I used the VA loan, didn't put nothing down, but I could see like um in the guard, I have a lot of um, I have friends that are local and they're buying, they're trying to buy homes. And I'm like, damn, you gotta drop that much, like 200k for that. I'm like, fuck, why are you coming up with a screw, you know? So it's like I could totally understand it's super difficult to get a crib out here. Mm-mm. Planning on owning? Owning oh planning on owning something.
SPEAKER_03I mean, that's a dream, right?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that's what everybody like that's the goal for everybody, but the reality of it is you'll probably end up renting your yeah, damn Chinese Japanese people tell them to stop buying, right?
SPEAKER_08Tell your people to stop. I'm just like, I was like, um T, where do you see yourself? Military man. I know.
SPEAKER_01I was like the guy that used his VA Lemon. You cheated.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, I did cheat. I did cheat.
SPEAKER_05You know it. When you leave, if you leave, hit us up.
SPEAKER_08I don't I definitely will. You can I'll let you uh landlord. I'll give you an offer. No, the only reason why we purchased out here is because I think I told you, um, on the mainland we're a minority, right? But coming out here, it feels super good to be like a part of the majority.
SPEAKER_05So, what's your plans after? Are you just gonna stay?
SPEAKER_08Uh my plans is after the the babies, after they graduate, because they love it out here. After they graduate, um, either sell or rent out my spot, and then me and my wife will go back to the mainland, see them in college, and then live off the grid. So, like, I'm I'm talking about like a camper in the truck, and we're just fucking just traveling.
unknownOh shit.
SPEAKER_08Where's Chris in California? Oh, next day, oh he's the motherfuckers in Idaho. Fuck yeah, van, fucking camper. Like, I wanted to buy a camper out here, but there's nowhere to put yeah, nowhere, yeah. It doesn't make sense, right? Unless you have like a business or some shit. Yeah, but yeah, that was like my super dream.
SPEAKER_05No, because what are you gonna drive around the island?
Consent, Expectations, And Taking The Hit
SPEAKER_08Shit, if I get kicked out of my house, I'll be like, hey, I'm living in my camper, you know where I'm at. Like, for real. I'm like, I'm at North Shore. What are you at? Like, are you coming home? Nope, I'm living here for the next three days. I am here.
SPEAKER_05What the eddy is a go? Okay, my camper.
SPEAKER_08For real.
SPEAKER_01Can you imagine how to find parking for that though here?
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, that's true. Like, I wouldn't know where to put it.
SPEAKER_05So I mean up on Hawaii Cat park page. Freaking camper is this?
SPEAKER_08So? I don't care. Shut up, Anu. Let me let me live and dream my dream, hot damn. But no, that's the plan though. Me and her would we would just travel the USA and just randomly spot up at our kids at schools and be like, hey, what's up, man? Dad and mama.
SPEAKER_05Oh, so you just took our land temporarily.
SPEAKER_08Okay. Oh, come on, man. What if they have kids and then like they want to I'll give them back? Oh man, dude.
SPEAKER_03He was right though. The military is a majority here.
SPEAKER_08It is. It is. How do y'all feel about that? How do you feel about that? I know your opinion. How do you feel? Oh, you hate it.
SPEAKER_05I dated a Navy man because I was jokingly like, yeah, we can get our shit back. And then I was like, I can't do it. I cannot do it.
SPEAKER_08I don't y'all, y'all don't like us. Well, I mean, come on, man. I'm brown, dude. I'm down with the brown, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_05But the whites that stay out here, like, do you I think it's like the entitled ones who are like, Well, we serve our nation.
SPEAKER_08Well, no, I'm never like that. No.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, no, but like there are people like that. Really?
SPEAKER_03Just and they're always the the spouses too. My husband is do you know who my husband is?
SPEAKER_08Oh, let me tell you a story. I don't know if I told this. I think I did like in the very beginning of the pod. But my wife, uh, we were at the commissary, some bitch fucking bumped my wife and cutted her in line. And she was like, Do you know my husband's a she used a rank? And I was like, Oh my god. And I was like a little a specialist, like I was lower in the ranks, so I was like, oh man, it was like, please don't start anything. But I've experienced that where the spouse used that rank, and I was like, This bitch, she was a white, no racial or nothing, but hot damn, it wouldn't be a black person that would have done that. Should have been like, oh, excuse me, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but yeah, no excuse me, no nothing. Entitlement is real. That's why I like it that I don't think that would have happened like at a food land or something, because I'm brown, right? So, like, if a white person did that to me, I would have been like, Man, you see you see where you're at. You know what I'm saying? There's like a couple brown people would like back me up and not even know me. You feel me?
SPEAKER_05I'm so happy I haven't like encountered anybody like that.
SPEAKER_08Oh, I think you would have flipped. I probably would have been like you would have driver like a dog.
SPEAKER_05It's real loose. This one is not there at all.
SPEAKER_08Oh man, but you've heard that before, T.
SPEAKER_03Like, oh yeah. People try to use that, like, because we charge a cover at the door, and especially during like Veterans Weekend or you know, like the July, all that kind of stuff. They're like, so is there a military discount?
SPEAKER_08I I've never heard of a military discount at a cover. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03You get free entry if you're in the military.
SPEAKER_08No, I've never heard of that before.
SPEAKER_03And then my my door guy was like, You're not even in the military, you're a spouse. She's like, We so we sacrifice a lot too. He's like, Ain't no way. Bye.
SPEAKER_08I hate those spouses, man, so much.
SPEAKER_03For me, I think it's like the military people that come out here and they just talk about how much they hate it. Oh yeah. And they say we don't like we don't even want you here, bro. Like, and you're talking about how you hate it. This is my home.
SPEAKER_09Yeah.
SPEAKER_03And you're being disrespectful. Because now we got a problem.
SPEAKER_09Yeah.
SPEAKER_05I will say I have come across more respectful military service people than disrespectful ones. So I don't really have a problem with them. It's just if you act out of pocket. Oh, definitely. Oh, at the clerb? Oof.
SPEAKER_03When they're drunk.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. I can't stand that.
SPEAKER_03Obnoxious drunk, yeah. They are the most obnoxious drunk. Military members are just a bunch of frat boys.
SPEAKER_08This is true, especially infantry.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_08Especially the infantry guys. Like I partied with them like at the barracks a couple times and what's infantry? Oh, infantry, um, they're the ones.
SPEAKER_00They're the dumb ones, in my opinion. They're the dumb ones that just wanted to join the creepy gun.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, that's them. Sorry. Grunts. The grunts. Whatever. Yeah. But no, they go crazy. Especially the whites, you know.
SPEAKER_05And then that's why they get beat up at the clubs. I'm telling you.
SPEAKER_08I've heard. I've seen.
SPEAKER_05Oh, hungry, hungry wine.
