Aloha Alive: The Dawn O'Brien Podcast
Why Aloha? the whole world knows what aloha is--love in Hawai'i--but better to ask WHY ALOHA? the answer is as essential as breath & as fun as whistling, so LET'S GO!
Aloha Alive: The Dawn O'Brien Podcast
Pure Aloha vs Street Life | The Transformation Is Real
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Lightning strikes a plane outside your window and suddenly every “later” turns into “right now.” That’s where we start with Keikoa Carvalho of Pure Aloha and Rasco Idayan of Building Bonds Through Burpees, two men who know fear, addiction, and pressure firsthand and still choose to show up with love. We get honest about what aloha really means when it costs you something, why sacrifice is the clearest proof of love, and how faith changes the way you read the hard moments.
We also talk about sobriety as a lifestyle, not a finish line. Keikoa shares how recovery shifts when you stop feeding the old addiction and start putting that same intensity into prayer, family, and community work. Rasco breaks down how burpees became a turning point, leading to a major health transformation and a new brotherhood built on accountability, service, and consistency. If you care about addiction recovery, faith-based healing, and real Hawaii community outreach, this conversation is packed with practical perspective.
The most powerful thread might be forgiveness. We connect the dots between childhood trauma, generational patterns, and why letting go is not for the other person, it’s for your own peace. We also share stories from schools where testimony reaches the kids who feel unseen, reminding them change is possible because they can see it standing in front of them. If this hits home, subscribe, share it with someone fighting for their next right choice, and leave a review telling us: what does aloha mean to you today?

Welcome And Defining Aloha
SPEAKER_00Aloha Mike Hako. Welcome to Aloha Alive Godcast Podcast. Today I brought my security detail onto the set with me today. Just joking. They both just had jokes on me to be coa carvalio from Pure Aloha program. Good morning, Kekha. Good afternoon. Whatever time you're watching. We also have with us Rasco Idayan, who is right from nearby. We're filming in Khalis, so he's from Mayor Wright's housing. Hello and welcome to both of you, Velena Marianne. Now, uh, and I forgot to say that Rasco is part of Tatahutaut. I like to say that correctly in front of all the Samoans because he is repping the Samoan tribe there. And we'll get to them in just a minute. But last things first, I'm kind of flipping it upside down today. And we get one Potagi on campus. I'm the wannabe Potagi. I'm a big mouth for big aloha, but this is Keikoa Carvalho. He's like, let's go. And now he lives big island. So more worse. Double triple scoop with cherries on top. Last things first, as I flip it upside down, is we always ask this a last question of every guest, but today I have to ask it first because you're Mr. Pure Aloha. What does aloha mean to you, Keikoa?
SPEAKER_04Um, to me, I always say Alaw is love, right? And God is love. So um it's all meaning love to me. But um what love is to me, what Allah is to me is sacrifice. Yeah, you know, I always say sacrifice because I mean you truly love something, um anything, you know, a person, a thing, anything you gotta make sacrifices for it, you know. Like my dad growing up, right? He um he wakes up 3:30 in the morning, gotta sacrifice, go to work, for a job, where he bost in his okay. You know what I mean? He wakes up, no more song, come back home, no more song. So we barely seen that my mom making all the sacrifices, but they did it for us because they love us, right? So you know that's just an example of the kind of love, you know, I talk about um Jesus Christ. He loves us, so he made his sacrifices, right? So that's love. That's the kind of love. Like so a lot to me is sacrifice. Yes, you know, because like um there's me, I gotta make sacrifices for my family, my kids when I go out there and do what I do, right? You know, um, you know, I gotta sacrifice time. Yeah, time is a big one. Uh um for my kids, right? You gotta travel a lot, right?
SPEAKER_00You live in Big Island today. We're on Oahu. I saw you just posted something, kind of went viral. You even made the news because lightning struck your plane, brah.
SPEAKER_04That was God right telling, yeah. Boom. You know, it's reminded me I'm on a mission. You know what I mean? Let's go.
SPEAKER_00You're in Hawaiian airlines. I'm gonna have god bumps as well. We we don't say chicken skin because we're not created in the image of a chicken. We say god bumps, right? But no. That's normal local normal Hawaiian style, may I interpret for our mainland and worldwide viewers, all three of you. Um, that when we say chicken skin in Hawaii, it's when you get we also call it goose pimples, but we call it god bumps. I like that god bumps. I loved how because when the spirit of the Lord enters the room, we always stand up. Whether we stand up or not, your skin is saying, no, we like stand up, so it's god bumps. But I saw your post, it made the news, and you were traveling from the big island, right? Yeah, and you were going in the plane, it struck right by your window. And what did that sound like feel like? Did you hear something?
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah, of course. Um, you know, like how you just stay in your house and you hear tundra lining and that already is like boom. Scary. Rattle sometime rattle the house that's loud. Yeah, the thing just went boom, and then shh hook. I was, I mean, I already I already know like flying. I didn't know this already flying.
SPEAKER_00You do it as a sacrifice of a local.
SPEAKER_04So I just go and I can't even I don't know how people sleep on planes because I cannot. Oh, because the whole time my mind overthinking, like on ADD mind, I overthink stuff a lot. So imagine me on plane, I'm just like, oh God. So I pray a lot already when I'm on plane. Before I go on and after during the plane, I go no right. So the whole time when that one happened, I think it all crazy thoughts. No, first thing I look, because I stay right in the front of the plane, so get the fellow tenants sitting on their seat, right? So they're looking, what was that? And I went, God, that was lightning. Because only me and him out upon the L. We was um right by the window, he was in front of me, and I was right behind it, and when it happened, we was the only one seen. Everybody's like, What was that? When we turn up, bro, that was lightning, we just struck the plane. We just seen him. And they was all like, not. I go, bruh, did you get on camera? I go, no, but bruh, we just seen him. And and then, like, crazy because there's other people just like acting like nothing. We over there freaking out. And I'm gonna like, don't worry, Jesus Christ got us, God. You know what I mean? I'm like, God, got us, because God, got us, don't worry. Like, I was thinking, like, so first thing I was thinking about when I went happened I look straight at them out, see if the paddle or they're gonna announce something because I'll think like, or the electricity, everything will get out of me. Right. No, I don't know nothing about that Christos.
SPEAKER_00Well, and you're in an airplane, like you said, if we're on the ground in the house and I hear lightning and thunder, or you know, or see lightning and hear thunder, I'm already scared, but you're in a plane.
SPEAKER_04Oh wow.
SPEAKER_00You could drop 25,000.
SPEAKER_04Yes, of course. There's only like ticket.
SPEAKER_00But this is part of your sacrifice. Yes. I also see you to pivot and thank you for surviving that because you're talking about your dad waking up at 2, 3 a.m. to go work. And a lot of us had parents who did that, right? They live the sacrifice. They don't eat the extra portion or they don't eat because they know only get so much food on that table they want their kids to eat. Another thing I see both of you do is that you you do something called, is it um some building bonds with burpees? I like to build bonds with chocolate cake and ice cream and laying down and watching a movie. But these guys, you use burpees, and that's part of your sacrifice. Can you explain, Rascal? What does that mean?
SPEAKER_06It was just uh something that happened in COVID. Yeah. I was in real bad health shape, overweight, like real overweight. I was 232 pounds. Oh, I would let myself go from May I ask you how much you weigh today? Uh 171.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I was gonna say you're not even two plus anymore. Wow.
SPEAKER_06That's how it started.
SPEAKER_00So you started by doing burpees, because burpees are like the hardest thing.
SPEAKER_06Um because I was in custody already before, but I didn't do it since 2009. And I let myself go because I got kids like one one after another. So, you know, like let's get away.
SPEAKER_00I just saw you guys posted you went out for Valentine's Day, very nice, romantic. But you guys work out a lot. You even did the hardest mile for heart month, right? And that's crazy. Can you explain what the
A Lightning Strike And Living On Mission
SPEAKER_00hardest mile is? For those of you watching, don't do crystal methamphetamine. For first of all, you don't have to. You can go do something like these guys do now, which is the hardest mile to raise awareness for heart health. And isn't it you gotta run and then you gotta do like lunges, burpees.
SPEAKER_06The first lap is broad jump burpees, a whole lap. Second lap is lunges, third lap is bear crawls, and the fourth lap is the easiest just running.
SPEAKER_00Oh my gosh. He said bear crawls, not bear claws you get at Liliha Bakery, just to be distinct. I'm I'm kidding around a lot, but I watch you guys on social media, and it's crazy the amount of sacrifice you do. Why do you do what you do? And we are talking about aloha. I know that is the fuel, but I want to hear it from your guys' side. Why do you do that, Rascal?
SPEAKER_06Um, I did it for myself at first, but I didn't realize I was gonna inspire a lot of people because I was one that was never on social media that much. Yeah. But when I took that challenge in 2020, yeah, the guy told me after this challenge, you're gonna inspire people. And I was like, nah, not me. Not me.
SPEAKER_02Wow.
SPEAKER_06And then when I did that challenge with that that that marine guy, a lot of people was reaching out to me from all over in the mainland.
SPEAKER_02Wow. Local people. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Like, hey, I seen you on this. It went kind of viral. Yeah, so I just kept on doing it. And in 2021, I wasn't praying about it or anything. I just kept doing my thing, and uh that my IG handle name just came to me, building bonds to burpees, because that's what I was doing. I was meeting people all over the world from purpose.
SPEAKER_00It wasn't a one and done. No, you, it's a lifestyle. Yes, and I as I say that, I'm already thinking on the next topic that I wanted to get into with both of you is sobriety as a lifestyle. Oh, yes. And that was something, I mean, we kind of glanced on yes, the prison time is there, but really, I was trained by my mentor who would say, Don, we don't focus on the problem or on Satan, right? Satan is the problem. We focus on God, the victory, the solution, the lifestyle, the winning. How can you inspire other people? What is what does that mean, Keikoa, when I say sobriety as a lifestyle?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so for me, um, well, a lot of addicts, right? Because um, you're an addict, you're addicted to something, right? I was addicted to drugs, I'm addicted to alcohol. That was my thing. Um, I fiend for it, I wanted it, I did anything for it. Right. Um, I always made sure I got high, I always made sure I got drunk. Even I didn't have money, I made sure I found money, forget, forget it. So um, I give that same energy now into the things I do. Because you gotta um overcome one addiction for me for now, but now it's a positive thing. So all that energy, energy that I gave into all that, all that sacrifice for the alcohol and drugs, I make sure now I put them into everything I do. Wow. Um I tell everybody, me going out there holding sign, doing these walks, getting involved in the community. That's my high now. I love it, right?
SPEAKER_00You go to like so many schools, you guys are everywhere.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, but wherever God say go, we're going all I kind of hesitate.
SPEAKER_00It's crazy to me the amount of things that you do. I feel like you see more people than the governor or the mayors of all the different critics. We tell them that every time. But you think we're joking about like I am not joking, like it makes me tired just to look at your thing. I have to mute you sometimes. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I always heart, you even put you're so faithful with it in communicating that. So let me recap. You do it because all of the passion and the mana, the energy that you were putting into getting high and living that life, you now make sure you double down for God. Because you did dirty for the devil and you did dirty against yourself, your family, but now you double down for the divine.
SPEAKER_04When the devil told me false that guy, I forced him at the bus stop or take his chain. Now, when God told me go help this homeless person, you know, oh she's hungry. Or find something, even if you know my money, find a way to feed them, bro. You found a way for Gerae. Yeah, yeah, now you can go find a way for feed that person because even though you don't know them, you know what I mean? So it's it's like that. It's like I feel like I have to do it. Yeah, you know, um, this this is some journey that I'm on that um I'm supposed to be doing the things that I'm doing today. Wow, wow.
SPEAKER_00And to be clear, when he said false somebody, that means he he punches somebody, and his god at that time that told him was drugs, but Keikoa Carvalho, Mr. Pure Aloha, you really do live pure Aloha. Even look at your outfit today. You're so nicely dressed and handsome, and his shirt, which is royalty, that's um they wore instead of a crown, they had these feather, very rare, very hard to find feather um toppings on themselves, and it says no kia kua, and it has a scripture verse, I believe, on it, yeah? Yeah, wow, and it's red and yellow, the colors of royalty along with the hat. Thank you for coming super ready. These guys, so funny. You think you're looking at them and you're like, ah, they're from Kalihi. They're from, you know, they're just kind of like gangsters. They're gonna come late. They came an hour early today. I didn't even have eyeliner on it. I don't think I had my brain on at that moment, but they came so early because they're professionals, because they represent the kingdom of heaven and the God of all gods, our Lord Jesus, and they always bring us uh excellence. Now I want to go back to you, Rasco.
Burpees, Weight Loss, And New Bonds
SPEAKER_00Why do you do what you do with um building bonds through burpees, but you also work with a brotherhood, and again, that's called Tata Utahu Tua. What does that mean?
SPEAKER_06It means to serve, to serve, yeah, yeah, wow and same like Kikole, you know, we were doing all bad stuff, and we have to put our energy into something new, like how you said to Matt on Matt's. I I caught that when you said that like we look for something new, yeah, like an addiction. It's a good addiction, though. So that's what we do now. Like, because we heard it all the communities growing up. Everybody that you see with me and my brotherhood, that's six generations of mirror guys. Wow, six different generations. That's all of us is from mirror rights in the tautro. It's all six generations. That's me and Uno is the youngest generation of all. Oh, God bless you both.
SPEAKER_00And I see you guys going into like mayor rights, or you'll go up to Kalihi Elementary, or you'll go wherever God sends all of you. And you go as a brotherhood. Yes. Because I'll see like Tatao Tao Tua, I'll see the pure Aloha, I see Al and his group, right? Let's go. They don't say let's go, which is a call to an invitation to conflict in the state of Hawaii. It means you want to fight somebody. Let's go! So if you hear that, you should run away. But um, these guys show up as a brotherhood. You guys got uh even like Jesse Jones from To the Top Hawaii. Anyone else you want to give a shout out to? Because this bond that you have as a brotherhood, as a sisterhood, it I think it's the support system that you need to have in place so that we don't go back to our old ways. Do you do you guys feel like that could be true? Right? Because as we all three just agreed, and I have my own dark, dirty secrets that I was engaging in, even though I was a girl in church and a girl in ministry, but there was still some secret sin. And I always say, you know what, there's no such thing as a Kardashian Christian. Can't have any junk in your trunk because Jesus doesn't let you hide the junk in your trunk. We got to put it all out there. And he slowly but surely dealt with my secret sins, right? But we just all three agreed that number one, you have to replace uh a good, new, positive, godly habits where there were the dark, de demonic, we'll just call it for what it is, right? And we are curse breakers, generation changers, right? So we have to stand up because you have both have children, and you don't want your kids to have to fight the battle that you refuse. You didn't stand up to the devil. So guess who has to stand up to the devil? Our kids. Does that make sense? Do you see it with your kids, guys?
SPEAKER_06Yes, that's the whole reason why I not just because of my past, but once I had kids, I didn't realize everybody was telling me that. Watch when you get your own kids. And I was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. The moment my wife told me she was pregnant, my mind started, it was already changing, but it changed more. Yeah. Because I was like, I don't like ever raise my kids the way I was raised.
SPEAKER_00Like and you know, I heard a great quote recently. It said that the problem with our parents is that they had parents. And when you stop and think about it, I'm not trying to disrespect any of our parents. We all love and respect our parents. They did we often hear them say, uh, people say they did the best they could. But the thing is they only knew what they knew, right? And a lot of times, like in our family, we don't air the dirty laundry, don't talk outside of the family, but there was dirty lickings, there was abuse, there was addiction, right? And unless we stand up, like you were just saying, Rascal, you don't want that for your beautiful children, right? For your beautiful wife, for your home, we're gonna do different. So we say, Great, we went up to like a level five, six with my parents, but now I want to get a 10 plus with the Lord. So one is getting a new support network, replacing old habits with good new habits. What is pure aloha then? In your um, if you were to explain to somebody saying, What do you do with pure aloha, Kikoa?
SPEAKER_04So pure aloha, so first I'm gonna talk about how it got the knee. So um my my dad, he was incarcerated. Um, that guy was all I was telling about only know how my dad Grinna was always angry, mad, fighting, you know, um, drank applying. So I tell everybody I was raising bars, you know, he would take me to the bar, always seeing JK fighting. Wow, but um he went to jail and then he came out and he was a totally different guy. And he always was saying, you know, boy, we gotta show you about a pure law. You know what I mean? So that so I got it from him. Oh, because he didn't change his life. Yeah, he didn't change his life, and he became my best friend, and we got bumps. Oh, look, he lives there, yeah. Yeah, so my dad is on big role model in my life now, and there's an inspiration. Yeah, when I people that know my dad now that just met him, they they my dad don't talk about his jail time, he don't talk about his past, nothing, he don't ever highlight or talk about that. Um, yeah, you look at my dad, you never think he went to jail, you never think that he was that kind of person. And nobody because the way he carries himself now and just show nothing about the law and love. Yes, so and he always calls that pure law. So that's what pure law means to me, you know. Um yeah, we know the bad, and now we know nothing about love now. Yeah, you know what I mean? Because we know the bad and all that bad thing so much. We don't give it a lot, and now all we can do is show so much love because we don't like go back to that. That's good.
SPEAKER_00Is your dad still alive?
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah, he's still he's what's his name? Is he working Kauai right now? Um Rekonstruction Alika.
SPEAKER_00Alika Carvalho. Oh, there's some Portuguese Hawaii name right there. That's some legacy. So he lives and works on Kauai. God bless you, Mr. Carvalho. Thank you for the pure aloha. And then what is pure aloha as you live it out, sir?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so um, you know, we're talking about sacrifices, right? Um, love. So um pure law is that pure love, that pure sacrifice you gotta make, that hard choice you gotta make. Um a dad wake up, right? She turned him on for go work, you know what I mean? When he don't like the alarm going off, some people close them. Don't no wake up, you know, where you gotta get off. You gotta do that sacrifice, feed your family, right? You know, so it's that always reminds me of my parents. That's why I keep talking about when they wake up, because I barely. My mom always tells me the only reason why you're in Accord and you was naughty because nobody was home, because we were too busy working. That's why you made the choice. You did nobody was there for title, do this, and anything. But that's the God's honest truth, right?
SPEAKER_00Because in the state of Hawaii, we have the highest cost of living, the highest taxes. Our parents, you know, they call it neglect, which sounds it's the opposite of abuse. It's bad. But they don't neglect or abuse us in that sense of leaving us alone because they don't love us. But because they do love us. Yeah, they do. They're trying to feed us, they're trying to keep a roof over our heads and the electric
Sobriety As A Daily Lifestyle
SPEAKER_00ones. I have a kid.
SPEAKER_04I didn't understand. You know, I had I'm a mommy's boy already, so I have mommy issues, so I blamed everything on her. But the only time I see my mom, she was picking me up from a couple couple of police station and I forever be. So now the police station I always have to go set to so she'll have to leave work, pick me up, or take me to see my P.O. or take me to um my court. That's the only time I was seeing my mom, but look, she had to leave work for do that. Now I know why she was always mad. They know I gotta take time for commerce for doing that. So I'm like, oh, I see, but that's the only time I see you, but you know, Kevin. But now I know as a parent myself, going through my game with 16-year-old, where she can be 16. Now I understand all that. So now today I tell my mom sorry for everything because now I understand. At that time, I was just a kid, I wonder how come, you know, where mom wants to stay all the time, all that, but you know, like we live in Hawaii, but things are expensive, they're sacrificing, they gotta do what they gotta do for us. They're doing the best. Yes, they do the best that they only know and can, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00But it is unfortunate, and I am appreciating that you're saying that, Kwa, because I work in the schools along with you guys, right? I do a program called Choose a Law, and we basically go down to the root issue, which is a lot of abuse, a lot of neglect, and abandonment. And then kids say, The only time I see you is when I gotta go see my PO or when I gotta go DH or when I gotta go get written up, or when I gotta go court. That's the only time I see my parents. And so they get rewarded for negative behavior, right? And so, and it's not necessarily we're not blaming, we're not blame-laying or fault finding here. That doesn't help anybody but the devil, right? But we're trying to look at the root issue because a really good friend of mine, Pastor Rob Gross, talks about childhood trauma and how to heal from it. And he said, Don, if we don't heal the root, we gonna get the same fruit. And if we don't heal when we do heal the man, we heal the land. Right? So we gotta go in and stop this transgenerational curses, stop the transgenerational patterns where, like, your dad was an alcoholic, and then you saw, okay, either I'm gonna have a raging great party time. I always used to say, I'm I'm your best party girl, bruh. And now I'm like, I'm your best party girl for Jesus. But there was a time, right? So thank you for saying that about that, sir. Now, what is sobriety to you? We started to touch on that, but you're completely sober.
SPEAKER_04Yes, uh make eight years next month, April 30th, my sobriety birthday. I just had my birthday, my real birthday, March 21st, but I always tell everybody my sobriety birthday has mean more than me than anything now. That's like I look forward to.
SPEAKER_00Wow, happy double birthdays, bruh. Because we're right past at the time of this filming, we're right past your birthday, and we're coming up on your sobriety birthday. My dad was a um a longtime AA guy, and we always celebrated his sobriety as long as he could stay there. But unfortunately, as with many addicts with different drugs or um drinking, he would slip back in, right? So um we celebrate when you're sober, but eight years is a good long time for you. You're still a very young man, you do have a family now. How do you stay sober?
SPEAKER_04Um, so you know, honestly, sober to me is um my family, my Lord and Savior, my kids, you know, all them. And you know, I tell people this, and then not a lot of people gonna understand, but my sobriety gotta come first, it gotta come um before my kids, you know, before my other half, and you know, and um, because if I I would tell everybody, if I don't have sobriety, I lose all that. I lose even my feet. Sometimes my sobriety gotta come before my feet. Because if I don't have my sobriety, I go right back to doing the devil's work. Yeah, I don't have God. I don't have my kids, I don't have all that. Come on, sobriety's the truth. Gotta gotta um come first inside my life so I can keep that all going. So when I wake up, I pray to God and I say, God, thank you for another day where I get the opportunity to fight the good fight today to be so because it it's a choice we make, it's the opportunity to get out there and do these things.
SPEAKER_00Yes, you gotta be on the lock and load, right? Because otherwise the devil is coming, he's checking every window, every door, every crack, every crevice, every time you touch your phone, he's coming. Yeah, he's coming for you. So that is a good gospel.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, people tell me, oh, cool, hold on, must be easy now. Eight years, oh no way. And if you got and people think that now you walk with God, it's easy. No way. I say, bro, I I struggle more, but now I call it a beautiful struggle because now the blessings and stuff that come from me fighting to go for their day, God rewards you for it. Yes, you know what I mean. I wasn't getting rewarded for the stuff I was doing before. I was just struggling. Now it's a beautiful struggle.
SPEAKER_00I love that you go from struggle to beautiful struggle that you reframe and you rephrase it because now you're owning it. You're not like devil, you don't have your fingerprints on that. My God has his fingerprints on me. From the second you crack your eyes and you crack your mouth, you're already asking God, keep me sober today. Yeah, because you're right, you can lose the rest of everything. If you lose your sobriety. Yes. And right now you're hustling, brother. You're out there. I see you like you're trying, I think it was Dubai chocolate malasadas, right? You're working, you're trying all these things because you're a businessman, you know you have to you get to provide for your family, right? You get to provide for your children, but you're also staying busy because I heard a great saying that says the idle hands are devil's work. Oh yeah. But once you're sitting around doing nothing, that's what yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_04But all the time, I said, What's mean you? I get I get in trouble when I'm bored. It's so easy for me. Because my mom always told me I had too much energy. I get too much energy. And let's get told that all the time. Everybody goes, you just get choked energy. What you love? We just don't know. I'm like, yeah, that's why I just keep myself busy doing something good. Because when I'm bored and I'm another dude, that's when I drank a lot. Oh, I'm good, Chick fan, I'll do nothing. Oh, we're gonna party. Right? Yeah, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00So but you're very intelligent, you're also very busy. You have a great worth work ethic, as you do too. He's Hawaiian Filipino, so I'm preaching not to the choir, I'm preaching to the preacher. You guys invented work ethic. But here's my thing with you, Kikoa. Um, is you're very intelligent, you have a strong work ethic, and so the idle hands, the devil's work. That's why God has gifted you tremendously to be a leader. And I believe that with this generation, especially with this digital generation, the younger generation, brah, it's like all the time they gotta be on a screen, they gotta be watching Netflix, it has to be playing in the background, they gotta be gaming, they gotta be doing all these things because they're high stimulation oriented. You're high stimulation oriented, but our God is the most high stimulation. You're never gonna be without, you're never gonna be bored, you're never gonna be sitting there going, God, I'm so bored right now. What are you? I bet you can't even keep up with how God challenges you.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah, like people go, I can go into two two islands, shuffle two islands in one day, because I go, bruh, keep it, I made it up, I'm here, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. And like a flattering, I'm doing that, like cause like people chip out, like how I go, but it's it's amazing. That's that's all God's work. You know what I mean? I chip out like how I even doing the things I doing, but it's not for our understanding, it's all his.
SPEAKER_00And what I love about what you do and you do, you move so fast. That's why I said, I'm not lying when I said I get tired watching you guys. I get tired watching all this working out and then flying and appearances, and you're in the malls, and you're doing videos and and you're doing your podcasts, right? Pure Aloha. Um, I just think the next generation needs heroes, positive heroes. We don't need to see another Jay-Z Beyoncé, Brittany Spears, whoever the latest person is, right? Uh Taylor Swift. These people have basically sold their soul to the devil. I'm looking you right in the eye while I say it. I'm gonna call it for what it is because we need to call demons and uh enemy forces for what they are so that our kids know right from wrong. And nowadays there's very little black and white, there's a lot of other colors coming in, right? A lot of shades of gray because we need to draw that straight line. And when the kids watch you, when the youth watch you, Kikoa, they see that sobriety is possible. It's not just some crack dream to make a bad joke about it, but also that you keep yourself busy. That's why when you guys showed up an hour early today, I was upstairs. Auntie Dawn was like, oh my gosh, how do I entertain them? But I still gotta get dressed and put on all my makeup and and learn. So I came down, fed them breakfast, they were perfectly fine. But I had to make sure I know that you guys are both high stimulation guys, and I need to keep you not entertained, but I need to keep you engaged in what the kingdom of God is doing because the scripture says in the Bible, which we have right here, and we all draw our lives according to the line of this Bible, right? It says that um that if you hang out with bad company, it's gonna corrupt good morals, right? And it also says that we will be about the father's business. But here's the one that I'm gonna drop that's the mic dropper, not the Bible drop. Don't you drop that Bible, but you can drop the microphone. And it is that Jesus himself said, Since the time of John the Baptist, the kingdom of God has been advancing and violent men come against it. And we all three know that that is the God's honest truth that unless we move hard for God, and even while we're moving hard for God, violence comes against us. And so that's why, as your sister, as your auntie had to make sure I gotta malama these guys, I'm gonna go down with no makeup within my bottom of clothes.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, and as they say, look beautiful with our makeup.
SPEAKER_05But then again, that's that's women, there's all the women. That's what I'm comfortable.
SPEAKER_00I'm like, you're not going on my podcast like this. Now, um, Rascal, I will ask you the same thing. You know, I'm gonna pivot to you. Can you talk to us about some of the organizations and how do we partner with you guys? Because yes, number one, and first and foremost, the easy way, it's Auntie Dawn's way. I watch them on social media. So Instagram, we got you on building bonds with burpees, we got pure aloha. But how do what is your organization that you represent and how can we partner with you?
SPEAKER_06It's a ta tau tool, it's to serve. But we just started because we all came to God together, so we're just trying to figure everything out, but we all made it to to start serving the community because, like I was saying, we we hurt all the communities before all of our generations. I mean, everybody knows my rights. You mentioned my rights, everybody's only like in the back of their mind is like bad stuff. Yeah, but we don't blame them because it was bad, you know what I mean? So it's now we try to still challenge, yeah, right?
SPEAKER_00Let's be honest, right? Yeah, and so I love that that six generations, you guys are figuring it out as you go along. But do you know that uh I love God because He's a creator God, He's a master creator, and you are made in His image to create. And so you are building it as you go along. It's kind of like during COVID, uh, we all shut down. Nobody knew what we were doing, basically, right? So I said it was kind of like the book of Genesis where it's it says that God spoke and there was light. And so the first voice in the void builds the foundation of the generation. The first voice to speak into the void, and I'm speaking power to all of us here, especially in the supernatural realm. The first voice into the void, you might not know what you're doing, but God will direct your steps. And He is. I loved when I saw you guys um serving with Jesse at To the Top. His birthday wish was to go help clean up Mayor Wright's. I just missed when you were there, but I saw
Pure Aloha, Parents, And Breaking Cycles
SPEAKER_00you and brother Uno and then another Samoan guy, and all the Samoans, I tell you, every time we took a break, we were like, let's take a picture. They would go stand under the shady trees. And so every time, and they're all from Mayor Wright, so they know where the trees are while the rest of us are sweating in the sun, waving signs, waving to traffic, right? I look over and there's the Samoans underneath the shady trees. So pretty soon I gave them the nickname. You guys is the shady Usos, bruh.
SPEAKER_05Much love and respect always for me.
SPEAKER_00Because they're smart. People think, oh no, they're housing boys, they're someone, God, they're the smart one. You should follow the shady Usos. You won't be sweating in the sun. But I love that about you guys. And we are one family. We are, and and we're Polynesians. I mean, the rock and Maui, Moana, all these movies make it look really good. But the essence of it is the truth that Ohana really does mean family. And where we used to have a lot of gang fighting, if I may be so bold, and I invite you guys to bounce back or to check me on this, where we used to have a lot of racial gang fighting, right? The Samoans, the Thomas, the Micronesians, right? Then you have the Marshallese, you have the different divisions of Micronesians, which is happening now. But we are one blood, one nation under God, and we are one tribe. When we hooe up, when we come together and we unite, then we really are a lot stronger, is what I've realized. And the devil wanted to keep us divided because we're massive warriors, the Hawaiians, the Samoans, the Tongans, right? We're massive warriors, and he wanted us to fight against each other because it's but the Bible says we fight not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities, those dark princes and high heavenly places. So now that we are all facing the right way, as you guys are with Tata U Tautua, brah, you're an unstoppable force for the fierce God.
SPEAKER_06Because uh Matt and show us like just like him, we love and respected him.
SPEAKER_00Amen.
SPEAKER_06On the bad side, and then when he came to God, we still went love and respect him. And he was there for us all these years. So when he put this together to for a life group, yeah, then one by one, all the generations started coming. Like so, more and more started to come. Not only people from race, but even people that looked up to every generation, people are starting to come.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. And so when he's talking about Matt, he's talking about Matt Taufate, who is uh oversees a ministry, and we did an episode with him here on Aloha Alive called at he's with a ministry called First Lap. LAP is life after prison. So literally walks with you in going to get your IDs, get a job, get um different things like uh section eight or whatever it is that you need, welfare privileges, wick, in order to, and if you're watching and you've never known what any of those are, then God bless you. Please tie to the Aloha Alive podcast. But for those of us who are all too familiar with living extremely poor in the state of Hawaii, Matt and his first lap ministries make sure that when you come out of prison, you don't bounce back to the old hood and to the old gangs. You get to have support finding new, fresh things. Now I gotta look down at my notes because I know we're running out of time. These guys are so good, they gotta get back in traffic, go back to Couple A. We all have a heart out at a certain moment. So, but thank you for this time, gentlemen. I just gotta say iron sharpening iron. So a friend sharpens a friend, and this has been so enjoyable. Um the recovery is a lifestyle. We we kind of covered that. Now, let me ask you for a couple of success stories or extreme examples when you go into the schools. I see when you post some things at the different schools like Kapoole, or you're on Maui, or you go to Kauai, especially on the big island. I'm a Hilo girl, you live there now with your family. But when you guys go in and do these projects like with Tatao Tautua at the housing projects or at the Kalihi Elementaries, can you think each of you of a story of a person that may have been reached? You don't have to necessarily say their name. I don't need you to break confidentiality, but a success story or an extreme example of somebody whose life you've touched.
SPEAKER_04Oh you know, there's a few um so just the schools, yeah, right? So okay, so um, you know, of course we cannot reach, we're not gonna reach all the kids, right? But for some reason, um, and everybody always says, oh, sorry, you just the the hot head one just connect to you. You know, so I'm just just speaking my way to this convention. It had um it's called LC, right? You know what we call them, assholes last channel. Sorry for sorry, but that's what they call them, right?
SPEAKER_00Alternative Learning Center. I used to teach the ALC on the West Side, and I didn't even know that was the other name for it. I always said I teach alternative learning center, I teach ALC, not a cooliewai night. And then somebody said that name, and I was so shocked. But I teach West Sides. So I went, right, you better not call them assholes because they'll kick yours. And they were like, oh my gosh, that's I can't believe you said the word. I said, No, you said the word. Don't you call my kids that but go ahead with the ALC and the RB.
SPEAKER_04You know the mass, but then um, so they had like a convention where all the LC um kids was like Maui, Kauai, Oahu, they're all in flower Maui. There's all at this hotel, and then um I speak to them in this um the ballroom over there at um Kanap, Kanapilli, I think it was the hotel over there down Lahaina side. But um, yeah, so I'm gonna speak over the sharing my story, right? And and I was telling everybody, right? Um, and this this the people that run them, they're from the mainland. It's these um Mexicans that was in the Mexican gang up there. Now they go to they work with DUE and they travel all schools from all around. So they they reach Hawaii on they do Hawaii once a year. So they found me on social media, they're like, oh god, we love your story. We're gonna fly you to Maoia. Like, oh shoot! You know, so first time I work with these mainland people, right? And it was awesome. So um they totally, you know, the way called talk is real pretty, you know what I mean? But that's just how I talk, right? So I that's you, yeah. So I go over there, I talk, I talking to him, I sharing my story, and then um something just like every time I talk, I always drawn to one of the students. Wow, and and I think that's always God. I believe I know that's God, right? So one of the boys I was just drawn to. So every time I talking, right, you look at everybody, but I was always find myself back to this one boy, and I just I contact him all the way, talking to him, and then at the end, he stands up and he walks to his teacher, and then he just like going, just letting everything out. And I kind of hear just watching, right? And then the um other teacher comes, cool, thank you so much. You know, and then the guys from the mainland come by me and they say, Co, we've been trying to get him to talk this whole time. We've been there for a week, it was a week convention. Say, bruh, you got him for speak up. Right now, he's telling the teacher, like, I can relate to everything on what Kiko is saying. We're gonna go squad together. Yeah, um, so you reach the hardest heads, right?
SPEAKER_00The least of these and the worst of weeds. That's the one God would have.
SPEAKER_04That's the one, man. And that's all God. Only God can do that. You know what I mean? Like, and it was so cool. All the kids over that there, they're all telling me, you know, we like about you all called. You just talk, but you talk all pigeon over, but you like you just give out a butt somebody with another photo talk. You know what it's so funny.
SPEAKER_00Meanwhile, we're gonna have subtitles on this episode. No, I love it, I love it, Kikoa, and that's who we gotta reach because there's a lot of kids that are falling between the cracks that people cannot reach. But God sends somebody like you that speaks the way that you do because that's how they talk, and they need to realize oh, there is somebody like me. Somebody sees me, somebody feels me, somebody made it out, and that's what you're doing. Oh, I love that, okay. Okay, say one more story. I'm gonna pivot over to Rascal. I love that one.
SPEAKER_06It was at um uh you challenge function for for our team that all of us went. And when I spoke, I seen that was like a graduating class. I gave my testimony, and a lot of the kids was coming up like like core. They just coming up like, oh, Uncle, like pretty much similar lifestyle. And then I seen one of them later after he graduated. Like I didn't remember, like he came up to me on the street, yeah. Uncle Rascal, and I was like, Oh, and he said, Oh, you spoke to me this time over here, and I was like, Oh, and I asked him, like, Oh, how are you doing it? He said, Oh, I I don't like do none of that stuff I used to do because after your testimony, I don't like do what you had to do, like what you had to do time and all that. And I was like, That's good, cause get more to life than prison time,
Brotherhood Service And Community Unity
SPEAKER_06like believe me. Yes, I don't regret anything, but I said if I could change them, I would have changed them because get more to life than that. Like, right? So I was all happy. Like, and they was already telling me, like, yeah, you know, when you were speaking, planning of these kids was licked. And I was like, Huh?
SPEAKER_00He was like, Yeah, like planning of these kids was like, Oh, like when I shared my testimony because I he don't want to ask me to share a lot of times, and when I did, I didn't realize I was gonna, but I did like a lot of kids was like, Oh, it's powerful, and the Bible tells us that we defeat the devil by the blood of the Lamb, by the power or the word of our testimony, right? Revelation 12, 11. We defeat the devil. And I love when men speak to the kids because I think there is a mantle upon men that is very different than women. I'm not discounting myself or any woman, but there's a mantle upon men because if you look at the calling upon men, your role is to be a pastor, a provider, and a protector. The pastor, provider, protector. A woman is to be um, she's the helpmate, so she's the missus, right? She's also a mother, and then she's also a minister. Usually in that order that we are a mate, right? That we're um also a mom, and then that we minister last. If we get that upside down, you get a lot of problems. But when men speak to uh young girls and boys, right, the kids rise up a lot because right now there's about a 40% fatherlessness rate where a lot of homes there's no dad there. And even in Hawaii, as we were just saying with you, Kikua, dad's working the whole time, right? They're they're providing for our needs, but where is the fathering coming in? And so God will always provide. He is Jehovah Jirah, he's not Jehovah Jipper, he didn't short us, he doesn't have a short arm. It says he has a very long arm to bless. So thank you for ministering to the kids. Do you have another story, Kikua? Um, I didn't plan to get blessed. We want to hear because you know, there are parents watching, there's us aunties and uncles. We want to hear the good stuff.
SPEAKER_04You know, I know I always say like oh, Rascal also, Rascal, you gotta share your story, you know. Um, and shout out to his group and his boy, because I look out to them, all those, I call them my big brothers, um, all of them. Like, he's and I I'm married, and I always tell him, I always speak to my team about it, how I married them because from they grew up with each other, went through all those hard shits, boom, changed their life with each other. Like, that's very unheard of. Yes, but you know what I mean. Coming from the hood and doing all that, like that's that I marry that, and that's awesome. So, I you know, I believe that everybody gets one story, and like how my story went helped that one boy that I was talking about, you know, um, his story gonna help the other boy next to him. The other boy next to him. That's why he never relate because he could couldn't, but guarantee OG story, yeah, that boy guarantee gonna relate. So I truly believe all that and um every everybody's story gonna help save somebody else's lives. That's good.
SPEAKER_00Which is why I think and to pivot forward, you do your podcast, right? And what is it called?
SPEAKER_04Pure Aloha Talks. I love it.
SPEAKER_00Pure Aloha Talks, so we can catch that on YouTube, Spotify, all the different um podcast platforms.
SPEAKER_04Right now it's all on Olelo because I should have met Olelo Studio, so it's on Spectrum, cable, TV, all on all Olelo channels. That's awesome.
SPEAKER_00So you do travel a lot from the big island because that's kind of your home base now, yeah?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I've traveled back and forth because I do a lot of things back home over here in the Wall So every week.
SPEAKER_00And then you're a Maui boy, you said you grew up.
SPEAKER_04Oh no, no. Well, my family name all from Maui. Like, yeah. My mom, my mom never grew up there, but she didn't know. Carpalio!
SPEAKER_00Ever beach is every Evil Beach, Portuguese, and then Hilo is like much villa over there.
SPEAKER_04So um, I'm an Ever Beach boy, Bonneries Ever Beach, you know, yeah. Um that's where I did all my naughty things over there. Now I try to give back as much as I can over there, but um, that's my comfort zone. So I'm only going there now if I gotta, because if I stay there too long, it's like I said, it's my comfort zone. Yeah, just so much, you know, like you can just chew at the parking over all the boys live. Oh, I can go right there, right there, where everything's at, you know what I mean? So I'm only going there now for the monopull man, because everybody's getting the best monopull man in my life. Shout out to that man. Shout out to Silver Stop on the chili balls, another one on the chili balls.
SPEAKER_00So when you come back home, first off is where? It's not zippies, it's a monopole man.
SPEAKER_04Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_00So what do you get? Just a manopool, or you get piping ever beach special.
SPEAKER_04Pork ash, what is that? Ever beach cash, noodles, come with chicken, yeah. You have a whole plate. So you get noodles, then you get on the stuff for a steam pork cash and then you get the chicken. Very healthy, vegan, whole foods, raw. Yeah, not even close.
SPEAKER_00Okay, gentlemen, well, we're rounding out. We can find you on social media, especially on Instagram. Thank you so much for keeping us posted and keeping us inspired. Especially, gosh, I can't believe, Rascal, that you used to be 230 pounds even six years ago. This is 2026.
Reaching Kids Through Real Testimony
SPEAKER_00You started in thank you for turning your life around. I even just saw in that post with your wife um for Valentine's Day, and I thought, thank God for men of God who still court their wives. And I know you have kids, but it looked like it was like a first date. Like you lavished all out dinner. You guys have the chocolates, the flowers. Like, thank you for being a good man of God. Um, our last question, since I already asked you our normal last question about what does aloha mean to you, it is also the second half of that question is who is your aloha hero? Somebody past or present, they could be you know living or passed on, um, that represents pure aloha to you, and how so?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, my dad going back to my dad. I wouldn't have known Pierre Law if it wasn't for him. You know, um that's one man I still look I still look out to, you know, still to this day, and everything he does. You know, but me, my brothers, my family, we barely see him because he's always working again. Like I saw my dad know he's always working. Like this, that's all you know, just work, work, work. Uh you know, he's old school too. That I said that's just how this drill would work, you know what I mean? This hard work because you know he grew up on Manalo farm, everything, so he just so he's working, it was just his team for smaller. So yeah, so um, you know, that that's that's pure law right there, my father. I wouldn't have known pure law, it wasn't for him. It's my idol, that's a law. Yeah, my dad. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00The Ulu didn't fall too far from the tree on that one. How about you, Rascal?
SPEAKER_06I have to be my mom. She just passed last year. But I seen her like indoor everything. And out of everything, she always used to like she never did give up on my dad, no matter what she went to. When she went to hell, so she always shared us, like, you know, you have to just love him. Because we always used to question her, like, why this, why that? She said, Because I love him. Because I love him. And she loved all of us, like she unconditionally.
SPEAKER_00Yes, she's on my and your dad is Filipino and Idayan. How many kids?
SPEAKER_06Um two brothers, two sisters.
SPEAKER_00Wow. And she stuck it out. How many years married? All the way to the end.
SPEAKER_06All the way till she passed, but like the last 30 something years, my dad changed her. Like he he he's cleaning us over for like thir over thirty years. Oh, that's what my mom always reminded me, like reminded all of us, like she had faith. You know, like, yeah. And that's hard because she said, Planning too, but if you guys walk away for the smallest things nowadays, yeah. She said, No. If you really love somebody, like you have to stand by them no matter what.
SPEAKER_00Wow. Wow, that's the hammer right there. And in this Disposable generation. We see disposable generation. She was talking about this right now. She was talking about back in the day, the old school, old guard, they stayed married through thick and through thin, right? God bless your mom. What was your mom's name? Charlene. Charlene Idayan. And she just passed last year. You know what? That's I think that's why I saw that in your um Valentine's post because I could see real love.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00A very sacrificial, as we're talking about pure Aloha today. Uh bridegroom lays down his life for his bride. I don't I don't try to project that you have a perfect marriage, but what I saw was real, and it was real God. Real good. Thank you, Rascal. Any last comments or um statements you have on your heart to share with our viewing Ohana here at Aloha Alive, Gentlemen?
SPEAKER_06Oh man. For me, I tell everybody, you gotta learn to forgive anybody that did you wrong. Not for them, but for you. Wow. You cannot heal or be at peace with yourself if you don't forgive. I always share that because that's how I I came to my real self when I learned how to forgive my father for everything. Once I did, my life started changing like drastically for the better. Once I haven't let all that go, like because I was holding it on for years. So when did you forgive him? Um when I was in prison in 2009. Wow. He was trying all those years to try and get me to forgive him, but I still held on to all that anger from before. Like I never know how to let him go. Like no matter I didn't want to let it go. Yeah, because I was like just rebelling already.
SPEAKER_00Right. Because when it I often say when you come from a broken home, broke feels like home.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00And so you and I, all three of us growing up in what is called dysfunctional homes, we become dysfunctional. Yes. And then we just get or used to being around yelling, cursing, partying, right? It was like normal fighting, right? Is normal. Yeah. So somebody who's who's normal is boring. And then we're like, wait, this isn't so you forgave your dad in 2009, and that's where a lot of the spiritual weight started coming off.
SPEAKER_06A lot of it.
SPEAKER_00And then in 2020, you started shedding the physical weight. Yes. Right? Because I think it's a process.
SPEAKER_06It isn't a one and done overnight happiness, progressing every day till we pass. Right?
SPEAKER_00But what you just said was so critical, Rascal, because we talked about how do we overcome drugs or addiction or drinking. It's number one, a new support system. You gotta have your sobriety. Uh Pastor Roy Yamamoto said he keeps his word of God closer than his clothes. He said, Don, if I don't, if I'm not in that word, I'm gonna go right back. He used to be one of the biggest druggest dealers.
SPEAKER_04I carry me everywhere I go.
SPEAKER_00You gotta have that thing close, and you said that. So you gotta have your salvation, your sobriety closer to you, and you gotta also um we said support network, but you're talking about forgiveness, which I think is the real key. Because that's the the poison in the root that keeps the city.
SPEAKER_06That's how we hold on to plenty of stuff that was like making us make all these bad decisions. Like I never know that I had to learn, but once I learned off of forgive, like how did you do it?
SPEAKER_00May I ask?
SPEAKER_06I just didn't pray about it because I was like, and my dad told me when he told me, like, if you're not gonna forgive me, you're gonna be the
Aloha Heroes, Forgiveness, And Closing
SPEAKER_06same way. I mean, I was like, yeah, right. But I was like actually came worse than him with my my first marriage and everything. Like, I was way worse than my dad. And my mom was hurt because she said, You was the main one, told me you never was gonna be like your dad. But I was like worse than him. That's how I was like, oh. After like looking back at everything, I was like, Oh yeah, yeah, he was right.
SPEAKER_00Like, and there's something spiritually that when we say that, I said the same thing. I'm not gonna be an alcoholic like my dad, and I'm not gonna go sleep around like my mom. And guess what? I became twice as bad at? I became an alcoholic who was out there doing all kinds of things. So I was the dawn of a new day by morning, and I was a wicked wahine by night. And I was hiding it in.
SPEAKER_06I said the same thing, like I wasn't gonna, I told I used to swear to my mom. I was there with her every time. That's why going through everything. So I was like, I had a lot of hate, and I was like, I'm never gonna be like my dad. And then when I got older, I came worse than him.
SPEAKER_00And that hate becomes a fuel that feeds. You become what you hate a demon.
SPEAKER_06You become what you hated, like the person that you hated. But forgiveness sets you free. Yeah, it set me free.
SPEAKER_00I love that quote. I've heard it at Camp Agape. Um, a lot of the pastors say that you know, forgiveness is the key that sets the prisoner free, and you find out the prisoner was me. Yes, it was you. Yes, that you were keeping yourself in that prison. Thank you for that, brother. The last um very vital statement on forgiveness. And what about you, Kikoa? Any last word for our ohana watching and being with us right now?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, um, just love on an auto. Um, you know, love always wins, bro. I don't care what love always wins. Um, love drive drives out hate. Um, you're feeling that hate inside of you, but just love, prayer. You know, um you know, I I tried um treatment, I did rehab, um, I always relapse. I found God. I've been almost eight years cleaning sober, and it's the longest I've been cleaning sober because I found him. You know what I mean? And God is love, bro. I found a wall and work for me. Everybody in recovery, recover different. My recovery is my Lord and Savior. And um, I keep that going every day and I put him first when I wake up, and right before I close my eyes, he's there too, even when I dreaming.
SPEAKER_00Fire.
SPEAKER_04You know what I mean? And God is love, so I always say, you know, love is everything. Love always wins.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so I want to teach you because that is huge. Thank you for saying that. Because Anti Don only teaches three words in all the public schools I go. They all know you can ask the kids the it's aloha always wins.
SPEAKER_04Yes.
SPEAKER_00So first you gotta make a little heart say aloha, like your little kid, right here. Aloha. And then do always wins. Aloha always wins. And that comes straight out of 1 Corinthians 13. It says love never fails. So I just flipped it to the aloha factor. Aloha always wins. If somebody's sad, I teach the kids, then you show up with aloha, and they're more likely to feel your aloha, right? Aloha always wins, not the sad, the aloha. If somebody's mad, everybody make mad face. Oh, some of you, your faces didn't change. That's your mad face. Okay. So if you're mad, but I'm I'm aloha, I bring the aloha, the aloha's gonna win. But if we're both aloha, like you're Mr. Aloha, you're Mr. Aloha, I'm Mr. Aloha, Auntie Aloha, then aloha still wins. So do it with me. Aloha.
SPEAKER_02Aloha's win.
SPEAKER_00Love you guys. Thank you for sharing this time of pure aloha and tahu tautoha. Building monster burpees. I don't know if I can say that we love you, and again we'll say it together. Aloha.
