1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: You have these people that have dedicated their lives, you know, 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: really made true sacrifices. I feel like I'm living the dream, right, 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it just so happens that what I'm doing 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: is also a beautiful, poetic thing. But um, you know, 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: it's there are a lot of people that have turned 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: down amazing opportunities and sacrificed a lot because their passion 7 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: is that strong to to protect the island, to protect 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: their their history, of the culture, of their way of life. 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: So I really really do respect that. Uh there's a 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: great quote from a rapper, Uh, that's the purpose of 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: life is a life with the purpose. So I'd rather 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: die for a cause than of the life that is worthless. 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: So it kind of brings that to my mind. Definitely 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: is very very inspiring for sure. Here give the time. 15 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to the fire Pit with Matt Chanella.

Absolutely? And I think 132 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, I mean in a sense when things are 133 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: not right right, I mean they use the word porno, 134 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: which is what is right. And um, you know, when 135 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: people come into the community and they're not syncd in 136 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: so to say, they really stand out really quickly, right, 137 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: And then there's two paths that can either hey, I 138 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: gotta get acclimated and be a part of this, or 139 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm always going to be kind of like sticking out 140 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: like a sore thumb. And I think in a sense 141 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: it's because of what you just described, and um love it. 142 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: My whole office is just so happy with the entire 143 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: entire production from just how you were able to really 144 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: take the focus on our culture, what's important to us 145 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you. I mean, you know, there's 146 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: so many people on Koye that haven't experienced the sport 147 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: of golf, and I hope they do, just if they're 148 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: like just a person like me that goes out and 149 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, got to pick up my ball and keep 150 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: up with everybody. But just it's a part of our 151 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: island that I think everybody should be able to see. 152 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: And when you highlighted ho Kuala and how they talked 153 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: about how they converted part of their golf course into 154 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: a farm and walking path, you know that golf course 155 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: again is really near and dear to our hearts because 156 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: that's where my dad hosted the Richard they called Comy 157 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: Memorial Golf Tournament, one of the biggest tournaments in the 158 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: state UM to raise money for organizations like Hospice UM 159 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: you know, for youth sports and activities, junior golf that 160 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: their program and UM. When Whole Koala decided to pivot 161 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: from having to eighteen whole golf courses, what they did 162 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: was they opened up these areas for the general public, 163 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: so if you're not a golfer, you can go and 164 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: enjoy those trails and in essence be on a part 165 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: of the island that you know, previously only golfers new. 166 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: So it's really cool how that came together. We felt 167 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: we we've left their feelings so much smarter about about 168 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: what's possible, so much hope, you know, about what's possible 169 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: because you know that sustainability issue and being you know, 170 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: we all have kids.

And if 172 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: we don't pay attention to what's happening to Mother Earth, 173 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: we're there's not going to be a lot of a 174 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: lot of a lot more generations that get to enjoy 175 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: all the all the fruit of of what's happening around us. 176 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just you know, you're obviously 177 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: doing a lot of things right. Your leadership and a 178 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: lot of the leadership that's happening in that community on 179 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: that island is something that I think we can learn from. 180 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: And uh and thank you for your preservation and focus 181 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: on Wailua. As your father said, take care of this 182 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: golf course. And that was a really touching That was 183 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: a really touching moment um in in a very you know, 184 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: sort of a touching a show. Really no, and that's 185 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: I think you know, I mean as a son and 186 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, I mean I think, um, what we strive 187 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: to do is keep our promise to our parents, right, 188 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: especially when they're not around, is like, um, that's when 189 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 1: it becomes most important. But like I think art Fujita 190 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: and Winston Agatha, and both of them are my dad's buddies. Right. 191 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: You look at those guys there, I mean, those guys 192 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: are their seasoned, right, but you look at you can 193 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: tell how strong they are, right that mono, that power 194 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: that they still have, and when they get to say, 195 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: you know, they're playing like twenty seven bucks a month. 196 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: You know, for our senior citizens, I think it's indicative 197 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: of what we prioritize. And you know, when you've got 198 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: junior golfers that can play around for a dollar, Um, 199 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: it reflects to the rest of the world where our 200 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: priorities are. It's with our kupuna, right, our elders, and 201 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: with our kiki, with both the future and those that 202 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: came before us that made a brighter future for guys 203 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: like me. Col you grew up in Honolulu. What are 204 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: your what are your thoughts and comments from Mr Mayor? Well, 205 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: first of all, Mr Mayor, thank you. We took our 206 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: cat to you. I really appreciate your time now and 207 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: also during our trip in coming by Waylua and sharing 208 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: that time with us was really special and it was 209 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: a beautiful message to share. UM. Because my question is, 210 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: you know, these lessons like live Pono Malama dina and 211 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: at the forefront of a lot of people's minds uh 212 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: in Hawaii, all across Hawaii, but especially Kawaiti. UM, what 213 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: do you think that is? It's some in the water. 214 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: I think culturally, you know, um, and it all starts 215 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: with you know the kanaka, right, kannaka moui, the people, 216 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: the original people and how they were very much a 217 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: part of Earth, a part of the ana, of a 218 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: part of the ocean, and um, you know, in a sense, 219 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: Native culture is always pay respect to what what sustains us. 220 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: You know, if we didn't have a healthy earth and 221 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: a healthy ocean, we wouldn't be able to survive. So 222 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: I think we pay the ultimate respect to coexisting and 223 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: understanding that we are just a part, just a part 224 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: of the puzzle which we would call our entire ecosystem. 225 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: And if anything is thrown off kilter, it has a 226 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: resounding impact. UM. That has unintended consequences, So we always 227 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: strive to to strike that balance right and I think 228 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: that's where the tug of war is. And you know, 229 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: it's amazing because you know, I watched that show and 230 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: heard the perspectives of other people and um, you know, 231 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: just to tie it back to golf and to all 232 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: the listeners and watchers, I am by far never going 233 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: to be considered a golfer, but I like the game 234 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: and the sword of golf because of what it represents 235 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: when you think about it a golfer, it's a sport 236 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: that boils down to integrity, right, self governance. You count 237 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: your own you count your own score, and if somebody 238 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: has a divid they go back to to go and 239 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: repair it for the next person. Right And and in 240 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: a sense, um, I think that's why, Uh, there's a 241 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: lot of parallels between the lifestyle in Hawaii and ENCOI 242 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: and this sport and a lot of them um co 243 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: exists together beautiful analogy their self governance. Amen, Mr Mary, 244 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: I know you're busy, We're not we're gonna, we're gonna 245 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: let you go. But before we let you go, you know, 246 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: did it give you hope and did you learn some 247 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: things about your island by by listening in on on 248 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: you know, people like farmer Samuel and kay Lee E 249 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: and and and uh you know Uncle Arthur of the 250 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: canoe club and all the different things that are happening. 251 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just incredible, Uh, the amount of different 252 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: person you know, Mary B. Porter King and the efforts 253 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: for junior goal. I mean, what was your takeaway and 254 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: from from just the overall of and as it relates 255 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: to the individuals, well, it's apparent from each and every 256 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: person that we're very much tied to this place, right, 257 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: I mean to hear about the history of you know, 258 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: the Prince Golf Course and you know what used to 259 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: be there before, you know, cattle right, the paniolas, the 260 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: ranching and um, it's very apparent that our people are 261 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: very much tied to our history. That where we are 262 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: today and where we're going, um is very just as much, 263 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: if not more important, where where we've come from, what 264 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: are the origins of all of this and um it's 265 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: a reminder for people like me who you know, in 266 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: the scope of the job that I do as a mayor, 267 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: I would be on the younger end of the spectrum 268 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: and as much as we are noted for being ambitious, 269 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: forward thinking, like let's move and march forward, that I 270 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: have to in order for me to effectively lead this 271 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: beautiful island and our people, I have to make sure 272 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: that I have my feet firmly grounded and where we've 273 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: come from, and to make sure that we're paying respect 274 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: to to all those that came before us, that what 275 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: the land was and the story of the land um 276 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: is perpetuated to the next generation so that we can 277 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: appreciate it. You know, if we're out there and just 278 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: thinking that this is just a golf course, so be it. 279 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: But it's very apparent is that there there's a story 280 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: behind everything. And in tying to the golf courses that 281 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: you know, we we have to make sure that we're 282 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: mindful that we are um.

One of the biggest 285 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: messages that we try to convey to our show is, 286 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, if you're a visitor to Hawaii or Kuwaiti, 287 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: you want to have guest mentality. But one of the 288 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: most surprising things that we found was that the locals 289 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: of Kaiti also have guest mentality right much so we 290 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: are all just just here and and we uh you know, 291 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: we all pay our respects.

You know. I don't care if you're 309 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: on the right or the left. I think it's safe 310 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: to say that there's a lot of disappointment going on 311 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: in the world of politics. But you know, I think 312 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: of Steve Leary and winter Park, who helped Zone to 313 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: navigate the redo of the winter Park nine And I 314 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: always thought, man, that's that's real leader. Like what he 315 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: did and how he did that was real leadershipship. And 316 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: then you take the mayor of Kawaii. It's like, you know, 317 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: this island that is so sacred and special in so 318 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: many ways, and you know, there's ten thousand I was 319 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: reading seventy three thousand people on Kauaiti. The the population 320 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: is almost doubled since the eighties. There's ten thousand sort 321 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: of Native Hawaiians who live on Kawaii. And that that 322 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: balance that he's talking about about how you make it 323 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: affordable and livable for the locals and and but you 324 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: also allow for you know, sort of free commerce and capitalism. 325 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: And but you know, you can't just let it just 326 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: run them up. Otherwise you're gonna end up, you know, 327 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: overdoing it and and and ruining resources and essentially, you know, 328 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: ruining the island. So I can't imagine I can't imagine 329 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: the level of complexities that he has to navigate in 330 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: trying to appease sort of growth but also uh protection 331 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: of the past, and yet he distills it down so 332 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: so neatly, his beautiful analogy between golf and community, the 333 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: idea of self of governance and how that is you know, 334 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: you can live that through the sport of golf, and 335 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: that's how you should live your life with your community, 336 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: uh and the part of the world that you live in. 337 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was transcendent. Yeah, that was that. 338 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: That was cool. I mean I'm trying to think maybe 339 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: that that might be the best moment uh that I've 340 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: had it here at fire Pit, and there's been a 341 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of our good moments at fire Pit, but when 342 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: he came on, and you know, there's something about that 343 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: moment right there that I was like, this is it 344 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: getting get knowmedge from from the man for a job 345 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: well done with felt as good as anything. Um. Yeah, 346 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: I'm giving I'm giving it the award the coolest moment 347 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: right there. Well, it's not stopping there. We have a 348 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: whole list of guests lined up. We've got Mary B. 349 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: Porter King coming on, We've got Huilani and and Kelly 350 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: from who O Kuala.

It's not a miracle. 356 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: I would have said, I would have said, you know, 357 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: Mary Be, two years ago, I would have said it's 358 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: a miracle. But now, given all that we've learned from 359 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: COVID and the technological advancements we've made through COVID, I 360 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: feel like it's not actually much of a miracle at 361 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: this point. That's true. Well, I know, so I guess 362 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: that might be one of the positives of COVID for 363 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: you many But yeah, and as it relates to golf, 364 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: there are a lot of positives because people sort of 365 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: you know, uh, reimagined their love affair with the game. Um. 366 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: But just speaking about reimagining love affairs, my gosh, Mary, 367 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: you know, Mary Be, we we we loved spending time 368 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: with you on Kawaii.

And it's it's always that a 375 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: little bit that fear of UM we don't want we 376 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: want to make sure we keep it. We keep it, 377 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: Christine so so so do you think you know, just 378 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: having seen it, do you think we we were able 379 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: to communicate those types that that type of messaging that 380 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: it seems to me and every person we talked to 381 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: that was reiterated. You know what we were getting from 382 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: you and so many others was this real concerted effort 383 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: to preserve the not only the culture, but the future 384 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: of of of an island so special, as special as 385 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: quite he is. Really no, and I think that's what 386 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: you did the best. Really. I think you really let 387 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: people know that, yes, this is spectacular, and but make 388 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: sure let's keep it that way for future generations. But 389 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: I thought your piece on every piece of your UM 390 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: I don't know which column anymore, we'll call the show. 391 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: We'll call it a show sure is good. Really, it 392 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: really highlighted that and the people that you spoke with 393 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: had that passion and I thought you did a great job. 394 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: I hope the county was thrilled with it. I know 395 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: Supanovo reached out to me, but I think I'm sure 396 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: the county was thrilled. Sue has been given us great feedback, 397 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: and she's getting a lot of great feedback, which obviously 398 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: means a lot to us. You know that there's nothing 399 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing worse than feeling like you've nailed 400 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: a story and then you hear back like, oh, you 401 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: totally missed it. And we we pride ourselves on not 402 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: missing it. What what is the nature of the story 403 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: but a lot the production credit goes to alex U, 404 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: Peggy and Colton Adler, who could obviously on and who 405 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: you know who really pride themselves on on getting us 406 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: in the right spots to meet the right kind of 407 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: people so that we don't miss it. The story being 408 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: what it is now and it is key to have 409 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: that local person involved. Um, I think that's the biggest key. 410 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: And you didn't miss it. I think you hit it 411 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: spot on. Col What do you got from Mary b Well? 412 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: I mean, as always, thank you, Big mahallows to marry 413 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: v for for her hospitality, and being a part of 414 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: this project and serving as consultant early consultant as well 415 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: for us obviously as somebody who grew up in the islands. Uh, 416 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: this this project was close to my heart. And um, 417 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, I guess just knowing knowing sort of the 418 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: local culture and in the quite easy local culture is 419 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: different even somebody growing up what is it you know, 420 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: forty miles away or something like that, or all of 421 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: a hundred of across a hundred miles away you twenty 422 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: minute flight. Um, it is very removed, right. I mean 423 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: I grew up in a big city, you know, on 424 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: Owahu and to somebody from Quaite if if I go 425 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: to Quaiet, Hey, how's it like for me? Especially now 426 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: living on the mainland. You know, I feel like, you know, 427 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: quite even quiet at home for me, right, but but 428 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: it's still you know, each island is its own culture. 429 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: It's still a little separated. Um. And to be able 430 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: to you know, I've never spent you know, that amount 431 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: of time on quiet and really got to dig in 432 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: and learn about it and meet the people and talk 433 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: about the culture. Um. So it was a even a 434 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: learning experience for me. Um. And uh yeah, just just 435 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: more appreciative of it. And I think I guess what 436 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: what really left an impression on me was, you know, 437 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: guess mentality is very important, right, especially for the visitors 438 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: that come to the island. But I think the surprising 439 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: part was that even the locals on quite have guest mentality, right, Yeah, 440 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: you're correct. It's um, we're very so unique here. I 441 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: think we're very different. And like you said, every island 442 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: is different, um, and in a beautiful way. They're all different, 443 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: and it's just how they've all evolved. The big island, 444 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: because it's so big, is a little more separated, and 445 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: we're you know, we're the smallest of the four major islands, 446 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: so and so we're a little more of a community 447 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: here and people know more people here where you grew 448 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: up on o Wah who you're we We go there 449 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: and and it's like a big city. It's like going 450 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: into Los Angeles or something for us. But um, but 451 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: then you get out of the big city and you 452 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: see how beautiful Oa who is and and what it 453 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: has to offer it really is. It's amazing. Just gonna 454 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: add one thing, Quaie being the you know, one of 455 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: the smallest communities, but also the oldest, which is important 456 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: and I think um was it Kaylee that was really 457 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: driving that point home during the show, you know, just 458 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: the importance of being the oldest kind of the you know, 459 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: older brother, older sibling of the other islands and just 460 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: sort of the responsibility that comes with that. We we 461 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: were we are the oldest and the most historical as 462 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: far as UM Western civilizations concerned, since Captain Cook landed 463 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: here first. Um and uh we were discovered first. But 464 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: and we're the oldest. And that's why our island just 465 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: the earth the way it looks, and they h where 466 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: it looks so different than the other islands. And we're 467 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: formed by one volcano where Maui's too, and so that's 468 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: why they're all so different. H. You know. On on 469 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: with us is Patrick Kaneig who you know speak of 470 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: views um at pool. Ok. You might not have seen 471 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: much of Patrick because he had crashed his drone at 472 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: Poor k That's just why we don't have any drone 473 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: footage of poor Care that that particular day. But um, 474 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: Patrick would would you know any thoughts or questions for 475 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: Mary b as you know now that you finally have 476 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: a chance to really get to spend time with her 477 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: because instead of chasing your your drone into a tree, yeah, 478 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: well we we didn't land a tree at landed in 479 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: somebody's backyard and it's safe. We gotta There's a couple 480 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: to be watched the episode. There's a couple of quick 481 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: clips that were able to so it wasn't it wasn't 482 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: all for not, but uh, the great bummer about that 483 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: was that, you know, flying the drones kind of takes 484 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: you away from the action. And so when you when 485 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: we're walking with somebody like Mary, b uh, do you 486 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: want to get in there and just kind of hear 487 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: what she has to say, kind of experience it. He 488 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: actually plays the game. I mean, uh, it's like it's 489 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: a it's a legend that you just kind of want 490 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: to get closer to. So, uh that that was the 491 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: great bummer about uh losing that drone and I had 492 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: to leave the property actually for a quick uh like 493 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: ten minutes, and you guys and I like zoomed out there. 494 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I won't save the details of the technical 495 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: snaf foods of that whole thing, but but I was 496 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,959 Speaker 1: pretty nervous for quite some time. I'm happy to return 497 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: it and recover a little bit of footage, um from 498 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: that from an unfortunate flight, is there I find my 499 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: drone app Is that how you found it? I knew 500 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: I had to land in it was kind of like 501 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: a backyard area, so I didn't want to infend somebody 502 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: too too much, but I had to had to go down, 503 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: So I had an idea just from where I saw 504 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: it and where I tried to put it down, so 505 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: I knew where I was going. But um, yeah, I 506 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: arrived and it was it was upside down for some reason, 507 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: but it was safe. It was safe. I'll tell you. 508 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: The footage that you did capture throughout the whole show 509 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: was absolutely spectacular. I mean, if people weren't attracted to 510 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about us, they're going to be 511 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: blown away by seeing the footage that you captured just 512 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: on every coast line that was really beautiful. Well it's 513 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: a it's a treat because I mean I've flown a 514 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: drone over every state in the United States and a 515 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: lot across the world, and uh, I don't know if 516 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: there's a better place to capture imagery um than in Hawaii. 517 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean, people I think they know. But the idea 518 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: is to showcase maybe some of the things uh that 519 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: we we didn't know or we couldn't see by this, 520 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: and you know, me being the first time we're on 521 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: the on the journeys with with Matt in the team, 522 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: it's interesting because I've been to Quiet before and it's 523 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: kind of like the first time you really don't know 524 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: what you're doing and you get a lot of this 525 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's tourists sort of destinations, but 526 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: it's tough to dig in uh and and and get 527 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: to note the people. So that was probably the coolest part, 528 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: aside from just capturing the imagery. Then you're like, oh, 529 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: this is this is I get it now, Like I'm 530 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, I had conversations with local people. We more 531 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: than just surfer level, and we dug in and then 532 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: you start to understand what that guest mentality is all 533 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: about and the appreciation for the land uh and the 534 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, the conservation, all the things that are going 535 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: on there. And it's much more powerful when you when 536 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: you dig in below the Hey we're in Hawaii. There's beaches. 537 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable, sort of like whirlwind. I think most 538 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: tourists and visitors to Hawaii experience. We certainly don't have 539 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: all the attractions that in a wah who has, you know, 540 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: we we we attract a totally different type of visitor here, 541 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: which is great because they really the people who who 542 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: come here um end up you know, their outdoors people. 543 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: They're hiking there in the water, there doing outdoor activities, 544 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: and uh, that's the beauty of Kauai. It's uh and 545 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't know that. The North Shore, especially to me, 546 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Um. 547 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: And uh, they make a little of rain, then everyone 548 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: always thinks of us is getting rain. And I was 549 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: disappointed that that one piece at Poipu Bay and we're 550 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: on the South shore at rain because everyone thinks we 551 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: rain all the time and we don't. We don't all 552 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: the time. But um, it's just uh, you know, it's 553 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: just one of the most beautiful places in the world 554 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: in my opinion. And I haven't been everywhere, but I'll 555 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: tell you where I have been this. I don't think 556 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: there's anything much prettier. No I've I've said all along, 557 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, we've we've done the cliffs some more and 558 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: and the Giants Causeway in Ireland, and and uh, you 559 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: know the Grand Canyon, and and there are obviously some 560 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, the the the mountains that the Titans or 561 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: or the Canadian rockies that you know near Bamp Springs. 562 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: There's some visual you know, splendors out there, some some 563 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: things that that that just sort of boggle your mind 564 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: when you see them in person. But the Nepali Coastline 565 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,239 Speaker 1: is on listing in my mind, quite frankly, is at 566 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: the top of the list. It's unlike anything you know. 567 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: To be at the base of the Nepoly Coastline or 568 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: sort of take those boats in and out of the 569 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: Nepoly Coastline as you're going into the caves is incredible. 570 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: And then going back to the drone concept, Patrick, you know, 571 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: the first time I ever got into a helicopter was 572 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: in Hawaii, and I said to myself, oh my god, 573 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: if you're gonna get into a helicopter, I wasn't. I 574 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: was always nervous about being a helicopter. If you're gonna 575 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: do a helicopter, do it in Hawaii, because what you know, 576 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: becoming a human drone to see what you were showcasing 577 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: from a drone perspective is that's the place to do it. 578 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: It's unlike anything I've ever seen and and you'll ever see. Yeah, 579 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: I think it's it's tough to even capture. Like a 580 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: drone does a good job of showing maybe an alternate 581 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: look for those that take the boat. And but it's 582 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: really I mean in person, it blows you away, like 583 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: you gotta visit because it's like you see it and 584 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: you the scale of it is really hard to grasp 585 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: until you're you're standing there on the boat or um 586 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, and it's like everybody just wow. 587 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: I mean I saw pictures of it and the first 588 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: time I saw it, I was like, wow. It really 589 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: On the subject of guests, we all know, we also 590 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: have Zeke joining us. Now, Zeke, we played Poipoo Bay 591 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: with the matches still all square. Zeke, You're you're on 592 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: with Coltneller, Patrick Kannig and Mary Mary b. Porter King. Zeke, 593 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 1: what are your what are your initial reactions of of 594 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: what you saw from the from the show? I thought 595 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: you guys did a great job with the production and 596 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: showcasing coy. Nice good to hear. How about how about 597 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 1: Point Poo Bay? Man, I mean, you know, visually from 598 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: the ground as as we were you know, as you 599 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: were saying, there's just a lot of wows out there, 600 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: there's no houses. It's a beautiful place, but from up above, 601 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: and when it came together as the show, it was like, 602 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: my goodness, this is spectacle killer. The sights, the sights 603 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 1: on this island are unbelievable. I mean just not only 604 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: in plot fool, but the whole island itself. So you 605 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: guys captured what what Patrick captured from the air was 606 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: very very good. I heard some of the video was 607 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: kind of dark, but I mean from what I saw 608 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: when he was playing that day, it looked pretty incredible. Yeah. Um, 609 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: we have Mary Mary Beond obviously, and and and and 610 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 1: before we let you go, Mary Mary b I wanted 611 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: to just get some more thoughts on on junior golf, 612 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: not only as it relates to Hawaii, but Kawaii and 613 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, uh, in everything you've done and all the 614 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: efforts you've made and the selflessness of trying to sort 615 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: of give back, talk a little bit more about about 616 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: the progress being made or or what some of the 617 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: challenges are that that still remains to sort of truly 618 00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: grow the game on a place like an island. Well, 619 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: just that that We're an island, um, and we are 620 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: islands and where you know, I grew up many years 621 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: ago in southern California and I could hop in a 622 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: car and they'll play in tournaments every week and every 623 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: day all over the state. Where it's a challenge here 624 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: and uh for our kids to participate in events off island. 625 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, Colt can tell you that. But we 626 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: as I may have mentioned that we started, we took 627 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: over the first teach ch apter the beginning of last year, 628 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: so in Hawaii, and so I'm very excited about that, 629 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: just to get more kids into the game, to start 630 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: them in the game. The game itself teaches you everything 631 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: you need to know about life as is without words, 632 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: the game just teaches us that. But Pooka is going 633 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: to be our home site here on Kauai, and we 634 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: hope to have um other will have the other courses 635 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: around participate eight. But I just think that right now 636 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: we're unlimited there. As you mentioned earlier that the game 637 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: around the US has been booming and we're trying to 638 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: pick up the game now. Unfortunately, we were shut down 639 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: for those times during COVID, which was difficult, so we 640 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: did lose kids and Uh, we're shut down in junior 641 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: golf for almost two years, so we're trying to get 642 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: it back up now. UM. I think seeing the Masters 643 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: last week and the drive chip and pud and the 644 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 1: things that would motivate young people and our college tournaments 645 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: come to the islands now, um, that to me energizes 646 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,919 Speaker 1: everyone and they can see the potential. And it's hard 647 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: that our kids, you know, we are isolated from the mainland. 648 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: We're so they don't know what's over there. They don't 649 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: know what the possibilities are for them. And you know, 650 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: my goal has been to try to educate them that 651 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: the sky is the limit for them and that there 652 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: are there are possibilities, the possibilities of gaining that education 653 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: through the game, but more importantly that if they could 654 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: play the game for lifetime. Uh, the world would be 655 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 1: a much better place for all of us. Amen, Amen, 656 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: Mary B. Porter King Um.

Apparently I'm not 678 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,760 Speaker 1: the only person that you fleece out there. You're you're 679 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: you're equal opportunity, you know, flee sir. I guess I 680 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: wouldn't call it fleecing. It's a game of skill that 681 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: we're playing against each other. So if if you need strokes, 682 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: like my friend's father said, the driving Greens is at 683 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,919 Speaker 1: the beginning of the course and you guys can start 684 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: working there. Well, I know, we pointed out, Zeke that 685 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: you know in the show that you're not from Kawaie, 686 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: but now call Kawaie home and uh and and you're 687 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: sort of general impressions again on the show, not only 688 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 1: beyond the visuals and popo, but just on the island 689 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: in general. You guys did an incredible job showcasing the 690 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: whole island, just the cultural aspect, the sense of community, 691 00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: the sense of stewardship that everybody on this island has 692 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: to take care of the community so it's passed on 693 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: to the next generation. I mean, just the hommer simon, 694 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: you could see the generational um, how many more generations 695 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: are going to continue that. There's a lot of businesses 696 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,399 Speaker 1: here that are generational. So like the gentleman said on 697 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: in prince Ville, for you guys at Mackay, we're just 698 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: stewards We were just caretakers of it, were taking care 699 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: of it for the next generation. You know, Zeke i, 700 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: I you know, I walked. I want My biggest takeaway 701 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: from Kawaii was, you know, on an island and having 702 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: that kind of controlled space. It makes it It's not 703 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: to say it's easier, but it's a little easier to 704 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: better define what the issues are. Get people aligned with 705 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: a focus on sustainability and being those stewards of the land, 706 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: you know, resource, you know, conserving resources. If only, if 707 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: only the world think of the Earth, if planet Earth 708 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: the population had the same mentality as Kawaii has about 709 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 1: sort of the greater good of where we live and 710 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: on on this planet, where would we be? Right? Like 711 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: I feel like if we can say, if we can 712 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: learn from Kawaii and these efforts and this community spirit 713 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: and sustainability and and the stewardship man, where would we 714 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: be today? As as you know, sort of society in general, 715 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,279 Speaker 1: society and general in a lot better shape than it's 716 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: in now, that's for sure. I mean it's just ultimately 717 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: it's it's everybody taking responsibility for everything that they do. 718 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: That's really what it comes down to. And like you said, 719 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: being on an island and being in a smaller community, 720 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: people do do that here. I mean beach cleanups, you're 721 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: talking part cleanups, you're talking just general taking care of 722 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: the hina is done throughout the community here. Yeah, being land, right, 723 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 1: I'd of being land, I'd not being land, Yes, Zeke. 724 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: Were there any perspectives, um that we're sort of new 725 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: or interesting that you learned from the show for maybe 726 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: the other guests, um that either you hadn't heard of before, 727 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: or we're sort of posed in a you know, new 728 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 1: or different perspective than how you've heard them before. Sure, 729 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: everybody's story you guys shared had different aspects for everybody. 730 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,759 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't go to the north Shore very 731 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: often just because you know, we're on such a small island. 732 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: Traffic becomes a problem sometimes. And just seeing what goes 733 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,839 Speaker 1: on up there in the taro farms and how they're 734 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 1: keeping everything sustainable up there, how they're taking care of 735 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: the land, is you know, it's a great different perspective 736 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,919 Speaker 1: because I don't see it that often. Unfortunately, sometimes we're 737 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: just narrow minded and not narrow minded, but narrow focused 738 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: on what we're doing, that we're not opening up to 739 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: everything else that's out there. And seeing your guys production, 740 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: was it opened up? You know, you opened your eyes 741 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: to a lot of different things than what you just 742 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: see on a daily basis. Certainly introduces us to new things, 743 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: and I think to a lot of people. I mean, 744 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: especially when you talk about the North shore of Kuwaiti. 745 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: You know how unique it is when, as Kaylee told us, 746 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: the u N recognize them as one of twenty communities 747 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: across the globe to do this sort of thing. You know, Um, 748 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: I can imagine that not a lot of people have 749 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: been introduced to that sort of way of life. No, 750 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: And I didn't even know that that they had won 751 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: that award. Um, that's incredible. I mean, to be recognized, 752 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: that's a worldwide recognition. That's just not a national recognition 753 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: or a state or regional recognition. That's worldwide. And that's incredible. Yeah, 754 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,439 Speaker 1: it was. And yet you realize, like, if you don't 755 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 1: put systems like that in place, or if you don't 756 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: preserve those gardens like they're doing, if you don't make 757 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: those kinds of commitments. I mean, it took them a 758 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: long time to get there and get that up and 759 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 1: going and get it to where it is. Now that 760 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: that was a relentless and exhaust of uh you know, 761 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: commitment on a lot of people's parts. But now you 762 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: see it, you go, thank goodness, this is this kind 763 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: of stuff is happening because again that becomes a blueprint 764 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:15,439 Speaker 1: for not only what's happening on your island Kawaii, other 765 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: islands in Hawaii, other islands in the world, and then 766 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,880 Speaker 1: and then and then again, sort of spinning it up 767 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: to the greater good. Yes, another thing I could point 768 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: out when you went to many Honi fish pond, you 769 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 1: that fish pond was overgrown by mangroves and there was 770 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: a lot of effort put in by um the local 771 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: councilman who organized this group to go up there and 772 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: clean it all up. There was no way you would 773 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,280 Speaker 1: have been able to land the canoe there five years ago. 774 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 1: That's how bad it was. And that's that That goes 775 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 1: to show the how they're improving the land, making it 776 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: better and sustaining it so that people can see it 777 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: and appreciate it. Yeah, it makes me want to you know, 778 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: all of this, all of this made me want to 779 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 1: move to Kuwait. I was like, my gosh, you know, 780 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 1: we're here in Oceanside, California. We see the efforts being 781 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 1: made by John Ashworth to preserve and and sort of 782 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 1: set up this community asset for the future. But it's 783 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: like you know that, and and we we love and 784 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: appreciate and support every all those efforts. But like you 785 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: take that times a thousand, it feels like that's what's 786 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: being done in Kuwaiti. You know, it's like wow, it's 787 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's just amazing. And I'm sure you feel 788 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: the same. It's like if, like, if everybody does their part, 789 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: and if everybody's is held responsible or claims responsibility for 790 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: their part, that's how this that's how this happens. It's 791 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 1: about taking ownership, that's for sure. But it's not just 792 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: happening here on kuwait It's happening everywhere. You look at 793 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,879 Speaker 1: the Big Island, you look at Molokai, you look at 794 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: the night, you look at what they're trying to do 795 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,720 Speaker 1: in Maui. But for me is I mean, it's incredible. 796 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: Cold knows knows what Hawaii's like, the sense of community, 797 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: people looking out for you. Colt knows that when he 798 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 1: would go to his friend's house after a long day 799 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 1: of practice or surfing, the parents always had food for cult. 800 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,880 Speaker 1: I guarantee he ate very very good, even if it 801 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 1: wasn't at his own house. I mean, there's the parents 802 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 1: all taking everybody else's kids at that point, you know, 803 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 1: and it becomes a whole sense of community and everybody 804 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 1: looking out for each other. Absolutely, and I think it's 805 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,040 Speaker 1: cool that that Kauai can you know, can be a 806 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: leader in that space sort of. You know, as we've 807 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: talked about it, it's the it's the oldest, most historical 808 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: and you know, from the perspective of sustainability or practices 809 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: like they're doing on the North Shore, hopefully Kauai is 810 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: the leader for the rest of Hawaii to follow. Yes, yes, 811 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: And I think we're the whole state in a hole 812 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: is headed in the right direction. That's for ye. Yeah, 813 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: I think for for somebody that is not super familiar 814 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: with why. That's why it's so fun to tell these 815 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: stories because you get in there and you kind of 816 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: figure this out and understanding you're like, well, no, nobody 817 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: else is doing like doing it like this. You know, 818 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: there's no communities like this. Maybe there's a little bit, 819 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 1: but like then you take it, you put in a 820 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 1: story and you share it and you open people's eyes. Um, 821 00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: these things don't happen overnight, right, So it's about changing 822 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: the perspective and exposing people to different ways of doing it. 823 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 1: And it's like, I mean, I'm super proud to have been, 824 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: you know, part of just telling the stories so more 825 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: people can understand what it is. It's different about Hawaii. 826 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 1: Maybe they can take one little thing, uh and start 827 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: something in their own community. So it's like that. That 828 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: is for me was my big big takeaway from from 829 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,479 Speaker 1: being a part of this team and and and meeting 830 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 1: folks like yourselves.

You know, it's if you apply 836 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: it to other people. You bring people in with you. Again, 837 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,320 Speaker 1: the sense of community. You can't do it by yourself. 838 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: You need a community, you need you need that village 839 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 1: behind you, you know, to start change.

He 1175 01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 1: and I were partners against the pro there and and 1176 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,240 Speaker 1: I think we pulled it out. I think we pulled 1177 01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: it out the end or or I hit that put 1178 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 1: to to end in a tie, I think is what 1179 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 1: it was. I think I had to have that put 1180 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 1: to tie. The match and I had gone in the 1181 01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 1: water and still was able to salvage Birdie. After the 1182 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:19,719 Speaker 1: after the after the after the water bowl. Yeah, hands 1183 01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,560 Speaker 1: down the most excited ever seen Matt. I've got a 1184 01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 1: couple of pictures. He was screaming, he was pumped. He 1185 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,719 Speaker 1: wanted that putt and he got it. And I'm pretty 1186 01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:30,080 Speaker 1: sure it was for that the half. You're correct, it's 1187 01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,679 Speaker 1: for the half yet. But that was that was fun. 1188 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,880 Speaker 1: He he uh. We're still trying to track him down 1189 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 1: where we're hoping to get him to be a part 1190 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,879 Speaker 1: of this podcast, just because you know. When he he said, oh, 1191 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,080 Speaker 1: I said, um, oh, we we hunt there? Oh what 1192 01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,320 Speaker 1: do you hunt o? Wild boar? Oh you hunt wild boar? 1193 01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 1: You know, with a bow? He says, no, not a bow. 1194 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,839 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking when he says not a bow, I'm thinking, oh, okay, 1195 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 1: he hunts with a gun like the natural. I thought, oh, 1196 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,679 Speaker 1: he would be more natural than that then a gun. 1197 01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 1: But okay, he goes a gun and he goes no, no, no, 1198 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 1: dog and knife. I go dog and knife. He went 1199 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: backwards from a bowl. I was like, dog and knife, 1200 01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:08,680 Speaker 1: what does that look like?

By 1238 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 1: the way, he's an avid golfer, a big golf fan. 1239 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,680 Speaker 1: When we're in the middle of shooting, he let his 1240 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,720 Speaker 1: family go and he was It looked to me very 1241 01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,800 Speaker 1: uh you know, I feel very comfortable saying this. He 1242 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,320 Speaker 1: was trying to sort of stick around and say hello, 1243 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 1: you know, because I'm I'm pretty certain that he was 1244 01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:40,280 Speaker 1: a golf channel watcher, so would have have seen maybe 1245 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,320 Speaker 1: some of what we were doing. He's obviously saw we 1246 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,360 Speaker 1: were shooting. He stuck around, and but we were so 1247 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,920 Speaker 1: immersed in the actual shooting of that last scene. He 1248 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: eventually gave up and kind of walked away and was like, 1249 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,639 Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna miss these guys.

He's in the background, but he's heavily, 1253 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: heavily blurred out in the scene. I was like, I 1254 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 1: think that's something we're just blurring out David Robinson and 1255 01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 1: carrying on having ourselves time.

I I. 1379 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 1: We were saying, you know earlier that if only, you know, 1380 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,479 Speaker 1: if you used kauaie E as a as a micro 1381 01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 1: cause of of sort of the greater you know, mother Earth, 1382 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,639 Speaker 1: and if and if we could take the messaging from 1383 01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,760 Speaker 1: from what's happening on kauaie not only what you're doing, 1384 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 1: but a lot of the other people in the show 1385 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,360 Speaker 1: that we talked to in their efforts and what they're doing, 1386 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,640 Speaker 1: if we could, if we could sort of instill that 1387 01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 1: into the mentality of of what's happening on planet Earth. Boy, 1388 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 1: wouldn't we be in a lot better place than we 1389 01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:44,280 Speaker 1: are right now? I think if more people have that 1390 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,599 Speaker 1: mentality that you had right there, the world much much 1391 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,479 Speaker 1: much better place. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I couldn't 1392 01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 1: agree more. And yeah it can. It can be tough, 1393 01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:59,439 Speaker 1: easy to lose hope. But you know why, why focus 1394 01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,479 Speaker 1: on anything you can't control. Focus on what you're doing 1395 01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:04,200 Speaker 1: with your own two hands in front of you, and 1396 01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 1: that is make that your entire reality and worry about 1397 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: nothing else. That's kind of what I try my best 1398 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 1: to do. Much easier said than done. Did he give 1399 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,519 Speaker 1: you any? Did he give you any? A little more 1400 01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,799 Speaker 1: inspiration to know that a lot a lot more people 1401 01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,439 Speaker 1: were had the kind of same mentality and and and 1402 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:31,680 Speaker 1: passion that you do, uh throughout the island. Yeah, it is. 1403 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 1: It is really inspiring. Um. It makes me feel uh 1404 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:40,680 Speaker 1: like there's so much more I could be doing and 1405 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 1: should be doing because you have these people that have 1406 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 1: dedicated their lives. Uh, you know, we really made true sacrifices. 1407 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm living the dream right. I Mean, 1408 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:51,840 Speaker 1: it just so happens that what I'm doing is also 1409 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:56,720 Speaker 1: a beautiful poetic thing. But um, you know, it's the 1410 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,120 Speaker 1: the There are a lot of people that have turned 1411 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 1: down amazing not tutunities and sacrifice a lot because their 1412 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,600 Speaker 1: passion is that strong to to protect the island, to 1413 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,240 Speaker 1: protect their their history, of the culture, of their way 1414 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:12,639 Speaker 1: of life. So I really really do respect that. Uh 1415 01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:18,120 Speaker 1: there's a great quote from a rapper, Uh that's the 1416 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,240 Speaker 1: purpose of life. Is a life with the purpose. So 1417 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 1: I'd rather die for it cause than of the life 1418 01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: that is worthless. So it kind of brings that to 1419 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:30,120 Speaker 1: my mind. Definitely is very very inspiring. For sure. I 1420 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 1: love that. I love it, and I love your other 1421 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,759 Speaker 1: quote that we ended the meal with. You know what 1422 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: what what is it? What is above and and so 1423 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:45,000 Speaker 1: below or yea, as above, so below, as within as without. Yeah, 1424 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,360 Speaker 1: it's all it's wherever you can, you know, find a 1425 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:51,720 Speaker 1: pattern in one place, you're gonna find that pattern reverberating 1426 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,400 Speaker 1: throughout the entire universe. And it is this, this fractal 1427 01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 1: universe we live in. And uh, yeah, I wish I 1428 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:02,680 Speaker 1: could have gone a little more in depth at you 1429 01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 1: guys and think I think it was a little overwhelmed 1430 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,160 Speaker 1: at the time when you guys visited. But yeah, just 1431 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 1: how you know, you look at how how soil we've used. 1432 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,720 Speaker 1: Soil is living, its living matter, But really what what 1433 01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,840 Speaker 1: makes soil better than other soil? Usually it's you have 1434 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:24,840 Speaker 1: more decomposition and decay of once living things breaking down 1435 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 1: and these these microbes and bacteria breaking it down and 1436 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,920 Speaker 1: turning that death into a positive fresh start for new 1437 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,640 Speaker 1: life to come out. Uh. And I do think that 1438 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 1: that is this beautiful story that we can apply to 1439 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:44,639 Speaker 1: the universe at at large, that while our life here 1440 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 1: might seem insignificant and our death may be such a 1441 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:55,519 Speaker 1: scary thing, we are part of this beautiful cosmic scale 1442 01:26:55,960 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 1: that you know. We we are absolutely crucial our lie 1443 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 1: and our death is crucial for everything. Man, It's about 1444 01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:10,559 Speaker 1: what you leave behind. Boy, I'll tell you right now. 1445 01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 1: After hearing you and watching you in the field and 1446 01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:18,720 Speaker 1: doing what you do, I definitely feel very insignificant. I 1447 01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:23,599 Speaker 1: need to doired, fired, but insignificant. I need to do more. 1448 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,400 Speaker 1: I am informed, I am inspired, but I am insignificant. 1449 01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,719 Speaker 1: So uh, I can't thank you enough. How many people 1450 01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 1: get that experience. It's so cool that the guests are 1451 01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, get that experience.

I still. I mean, that 1474 01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:44,800 Speaker 1: could have fed us for for a year alone, like 1475 01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving turkey. Yeah, so that was the size of it, 1476 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Um what with what Cold was saying, 1477 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,639 Speaker 1: If I could just add one thing to that, I 1478 01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 1: I really a theme of my life has been in 1479 01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,640 Speaker 1: all or nothing mentality, and I think that that is 1480 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: handicapped me time and time again. It's either a dent 1481 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,880 Speaker 1: or it's not worth doing at all. And well, you know, 1482 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 1: I know, I remember both. I mean I came from 1483 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,559 Speaker 1: Orange County and sugar An, Texas, these these very nice, 1484 01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:21,200 Speaker 1: polished suburban areas, and I remember the romanticizing, you know, 1485 01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:25,000 Speaker 1: an episode of Survivor or seeing these things that seem 1486 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,680 Speaker 1: so out of reach. Look at these people living in 1487 01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:31,840 Speaker 1: the moment, completely immersed in what they're doing. But I 1488 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:36,599 Speaker 1: think it's it's so important to not be extreme with it. 1489 01:29:36,880 --> 01:29:40,559 Speaker 1: If you just go out and put your feet on 1490 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,519 Speaker 1: some grass, you're grounded to the earth. Smart start a 1491 01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:48,440 Speaker 1: small little raised bed garden and you're you know, apartment, 1492 01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, get some lights, whatever, just the little things 1493 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 1: that bring us back out of this this electronic system 1494 01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:00,760 Speaker 1: that we're living in and back into what God intended 1495 01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,720 Speaker 1: for us. Every little step towards that, even if it 1496 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:09,160 Speaker 1: benefits nobody other than yourself, that's really what matters, because 1497 01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 1: it will send ripples throughout. If you benefit yourself with 1498 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,880 Speaker 1: something real and pure, you will then have that realness 1499 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:20,360 Speaker 1: and that pureness to give out to other things in 1500 01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:23,880 Speaker 1: the universe and it will make an impact. So anyways, 1501 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 1: like I said, informed, inspired and insignificant. That's why I 1502 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,040 Speaker 1: feel anyway, So thank you, Thank you so much for 1503 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,639 Speaker 1: that time. Farmer Shamuel. God speed on all your efforts, 1504 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,680 Speaker 1: and uh, I cannot wait to see you again.

You know, we learned 1508 01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:59,519 Speaker 1: a lot while we were there, but you know, the 1509 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,439 Speaker 1: sort of reflection, especially to get that chance to reflect 1510 01:31:02,520 --> 01:31:04,800 Speaker 1: with the people that we were there with. Man, it's 1511 01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 1: just another level, you know, just kind of refocuses recenters you. 1512 01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:12,559 Speaker 1: It brings me right back into the arm learning just 1513 01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:16,120 Speaker 1: like learning from like from he's like he's farmer, he's 1514 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,680 Speaker 1: like father Samuel. I mean that last little bit I 1515 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 1: was like it was very relatable to me. It's somebody 1516 01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 1: that's like in an alcoholic So I'm like, oh this way, 1517 01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:26,479 Speaker 1: Oh this way. It's like, actually, how about some balance 1518 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:27,960 Speaker 1: in your life? You just try one little thing. I 1519 01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:29,880 Speaker 1: was like, I mean, it was so well said, and 1520 01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:31,600 Speaker 1: it was a good reminder and I don't know that 1521 01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,479 Speaker 1: obviously came from It was a piece of realness that 1522 01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:36,760 Speaker 1: he passed along to me. And I'm just looking at 1523 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,920 Speaker 1: It's like, now I'm feeling better just having talked to him. 1524 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:40,680 Speaker 1: So now I'm more equipped to go out in the 1525 01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,200 Speaker 1: world and spread that.

And then when they went once 1762 01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,040 Speaker 1: they get to a certain age, it's like raising a baby. 1763 01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:22,880 Speaker 1: You know, when they get older, you don't have to 1764 01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 1: feed them all the time or show them whatever.

It's Uh, every time I go 1929 01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:40,200 Speaker 1: to Hawaii, I feel like, I mean, it's such a 1930 01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:44,080 Speaker 1: vast contrast from most of the United States, and when 1931 01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:46,240 Speaker 1: I go there, I do feel like it's another it's 1932 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,280 Speaker 1: another country and they've got a different mindset compared to 1933 01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:52,280 Speaker 1: a lot of folks in the US. And um, yeah, 1934 01:56:52,280 --> 01:56:55,280 Speaker 1: you like you said, it's like we're aware, Um, but 1935 01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,360 Speaker 1: it's we're not immersed in it like like it is 1936 01:56:57,400 --> 01:57:00,280 Speaker 1: when you go over there. Um you would you would 1937 01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:03,600 Speaker 1: absolutely change your ways and fall into that. Like he's 1938 01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:05,120 Speaker 1: like I think it was. The mayor said you're gonna 1939 01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:08,080 Speaker 1: stick out like a like a sore thumb, and very 1940 01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:10,400 Speaker 1: quickly I think you would, you would fall into that 1941 01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:14,640 Speaker 1: culture and change your your behavior, your way of thinking. Um. 1942 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,120 Speaker 1: So it's it's cool to showcase that because they're onto 1943 01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:20,800 Speaker 1: something special and un quiet. But you know, again, it 1944 01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:26,120 Speaker 1: comes down to that island is a is a it's 1945 01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:29,440 Speaker 1: it's a small space compared to you know, the the 1946 01:57:30,600 --> 01:57:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, sort of North America for example, you know 1947 01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:39,440 Speaker 1: what I mean, like California, you know, so but if 1948 01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:41,840 Speaker 1: if we shrink, you know, look, and I bring this 1949 01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:44,560 Speaker 1: up all the time, but in our community, look no 1950 01:57:44,680 --> 01:57:48,640 Speaker 1: further than John Ashworth who saved go to Hill Park. 1951 01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:51,600 Speaker 1: Like when I say the people are living it, you 1952 01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:53,360 Speaker 1: don't go out to go to Hill Park without seeing 1953 01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:56,000 Speaker 1: John with a shovel in his hand or a rake 1954 01:57:56,440 --> 01:57:58,120 Speaker 1: or he's out there. He's the last man and the 1955 01:57:58,120 --> 01:58:02,400 Speaker 1: maintenance crew parking the maintenance cart. Like you know, he's 1956 01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:07,000 Speaker 1: doing something about his community. And I think it is 1957 01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:10,200 Speaker 1: happening here in the mainland. You know, we're trying to 1958 01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:13,520 Speaker 1: protect you know, municipal golf from being churned up and 1959 01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:16,560 Speaker 1: turned into low income housing. But it doesn't it doesn't 1960 01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:19,080 Speaker 1: mean we don't support low income housing. Where can we 1961 01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:22,760 Speaker 1: find low income housing to help people who are struggling 1962 01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:26,160 Speaker 1: to find a place to live. The answer to me 1963 01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:29,480 Speaker 1: is not churning up municipal golf. But John's point is, 1964 01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:32,960 Speaker 1: but let's try to figure out a better solution. Let's 1965 01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:36,440 Speaker 1: stop the the assault on municipal golf, which is accessible 1966 01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:40,440 Speaker 1: golf that leads to you know, the the affordable golf 1967 01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:43,520 Speaker 1: that leads to these life lessons that teach people to 1968 01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:48,200 Speaker 1: have integrity, and and and and and connect with the land. 1969 01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:50,840 Speaker 1: But let's also try to figure out where we can 1970 01:58:50,880 --> 01:58:53,240 Speaker 1: put people low income housing that to me an ocean 1971 01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:56,520 Speaker 1: side is an issue. Is let's protect municipal golf, but 1972 01:58:56,600 --> 01:59:00,360 Speaker 1: let's solve this homeless. This homeless problem mental health issues 1973 01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:03,160 Speaker 1: that are around us in our community everywhere we turn. 1974 01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,080 Speaker 1: I think the key there that you said is leads 1975 01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:09,280 Speaker 1: to right, these are macro issues, but as we see, 1976 01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, through all of these guys on Kauaite, through 1977 01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:15,720 Speaker 1: John Ashworth, they're taking care of it at the micro level. Right, 1978 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:18,440 Speaker 1: it starts small like Kwaite, as you said, is a 1979 01:59:18,560 --> 01:59:22,200 Speaker 1: very small place. Yet the point I brought up earlier 1980 01:59:22,240 --> 01:59:25,440 Speaker 1: is like their mindset is on a different level than 1981 01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:28,560 Speaker 1: everybody said is wide. It is massive, you know it 1982 01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:33,160 Speaker 1: it uh, it includes the past, the present, and the future. 1983 01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:36,400 Speaker 1: You know, we only think about here now. You know, 1984 01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,640 Speaker 1: like they might be living small with their but their 1985 01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:42,640 Speaker 1: minds are you know, at a different level. And he 1986 01:59:43,120 --> 01:59:47,120 Speaker 1: said it my kids, my grandkids. You know, think about that, 1987 01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:50,280 Speaker 1: like if everybody thought about the quality of life, not 1988 01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:55,280 Speaker 1: for you now and not necessarily even for your kids now, 1989 01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:59,920 Speaker 1: but for their kids. If we started thinking about every 1990 02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:05,360 Speaker 1: buddies third generation from now, we would live so much 1991 02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:11,320 Speaker 1: differently and we'd be on the right path. Well you 1992 02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:13,040 Speaker 1: know the answer that's right there in front of us. 1993 02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:15,000 Speaker 1: And these guys are you know, these guys are kind 1994 02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:19,640 Speaker 1: enough to to show us the way. Yeah, they're they're teaching. 1995 02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:21,920 Speaker 1: It was a it was a learning lesson and experience 1996 02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:26,400 Speaker 1: for the visit and and you know, hopefully the video 1997 02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:29,520 Speaker 1: does that for the viewer, which is a powerful thing, 1998 02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,840 Speaker 1: um that we can do. So it's cool to feel like, hey, 1999 02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, small steps. It's like, hey, we took some 2000 02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:37,000 Speaker 1: small steps here. We did we did we did a 2001 02:00:37,080 --> 02:00:42,160 Speaker 1: thing um that might matter. So and I agree with 2002 02:00:42,200 --> 02:00:45,880 Speaker 1: your your optimistic outlook Patrick, where you know, if you 2003 02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:49,640 Speaker 1: find yourself in that environment, then you adapt to it. 2004 02:00:49,680 --> 02:00:52,800 Speaker 1: I think it's all innate in us. You know, it's 2005 02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:56,160 Speaker 1: just up to us to actually put ourselves in that situation. 2006 02:00:56,560 --> 02:00:59,920 Speaker 1: And it starts with taking your shoes off. Barefoot pod 2007 02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:02,320 Speaker 1: could be a new thing, can it? Can it? Can 2008 02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:04,560 Speaker 1: it start by taking our shoes off and going to 2009 02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:07,000 Speaker 1: go to Hill Park on mandatory golf Friday, on this 2010 02:01:07,200 --> 02:01:14,440 Speaker 1: beautiful Friday afternoon and ocean side man, the timing, perfect timing, 2011 02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:19,120 Speaker 1: am over over and out. That sounds good to me. 2012 02:01:35,440 --> 02:01:43,280 Speaker 1: Put another log on the fire. Nobody here is get 2013 02:01:43,280 --> 02:01:43,720 Speaker 1: the time.
