Episode 15: Still Livin' The Aloha Life

Ken is back on the mic with Wayde—one of the voices that helped inspire the original move to Hawaiʻi in the first place. But this time, Ken's checking in from Orlando, just minutes from Disney's Animal Kingdom… and somehow dealing with colder weather than Portland (because apparently Ken brought the chaos with him). From there, the conversation ricochets through the Masters of the Universe trailer hype, what it would take for He-Man to kick off a real 80s revival (Thundercats, MASK, and more), and why AI is about to blow up the entire movie pipeline—faster than anyone wants to admit. Then the tone shifts back home: jaw-dropping Kīlauea footage, "lava bombs" hitting like a black snowstorm, and the real talk on Maui's future—short-term rental rollbacks, lawsuits, crime, stalled rebuilding, and whether Hawaiʻi is approaching a point of no return.
