The Mutilated Musician - Kawaihae, Hawaii
This week, in Kawaihae, Hawaii, nobody freaks out when a beloved local musician disappears, thinking he may be playing some gigs, on another island, or maybe off searching for inspiration. But after a month, the search begins, centering around a local man, with a history of violence & meth dealing. When our musician is finally found, it's a brutal discovery. He's been horribly battered by multiple weapons. Did he accidentally cross a dangerous man, or did the police actually put him on a path to certain doom, because he had some minor criminal problems???
Along the way, we find out that islands have dry & wet sides, that you should never agree to gather information against a dangerous meth dealer, and that a ukulele is no match for guns, and hammers!!

I vacationed in Hawaii in 2023, went to the big island and Oahu. Absolutely beautiful! The Hawaiian culture is amazing! I didn’t want to leave. If I could afford it I would move there. 🌴🌴
Also: everyone is stressed living in Hawai’i because it can be very expensive to live there. If you have land that is cheap some mainland developer is throwing millions at you to buy it. You need multiple incomes to afford rent/mortgage
Not bad pronunciation this episode. James nailed the hwy. Keoni translated to English is John. Kimo is Hawaiian translation for Jim or James. Ali’i is King. Hawai’i is the only state that has volcanoes, snow capped mountains, a rainforest, and Waimea Canyon known as the little Grand Canyon
I am part of the felonious half.
James you did the prosecution/defense attorney/cop thing- when you were about to say the sentence and statement from Debbie and others you said “here come the hammers!” meaning the bad guy was about to get his- but our victim here was attacked first by a hammer!!
James sounding like Nic Cage in Honeymoon in Vegas.. Is it Kapa'a or Kapapa'a a..
“Aloha bitch, what do you want?” 😂🤣 Please make that a shirt
Aloha Bitch!
Every time James said Lapaqua(sp?) I kept hearing it as La Parka and thinking of WCW lol
When James started pronouncing names, it became pretty clear why we haven't had an episode in Hawaii for so long 😅
Re: the Hawaiian music Grammy, it’s NOT a local Grammy. The Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album was given out as part of THE Grammy Awards from 2005 to 2011, before a massive re-working of the Awards made almost all forms of “regional” music albums only eligible for Best Regional Roots Music Album. Of note about this award, two of the last three of them (2009, 2011) were won by Tia Carrere—yes, the Wayne’s World actress.
Don’t disrespect Jimmy Buffett if you don’t know anything about him
I went to Hawaii for work a couple mos ago. Tourists have ruined Waikiki. If I go back I gotta hit up another part.
Suddenly I’m interested in coconut weaving. Love a handcrafted good.
Not just the news on any of the old footage of The Rock's granparents territory all the commentators and announcers also wear lays. Rock's grandmother and the mobster moves she pulled to hold onto her territory would definitely be a great bonus.
Who the fuck is Johnny Blue Skies? Nice shirt Jimmy!
I think it’s time James took a vacation, let’s send him to Hawaii so he can relax and get a break
A meth distributor in Captain Cook? I can already tell that his secret ingredient was Chili P.
I relate to James so much and I'm 100% with him on don't just knock on my door, call me or I might not answer.
I saw that this episode was a Hawaiian one and my first thought was “poor James” 😂😂
“things to do” do I really have to tell you?
Not sure if this is similar..but many places have a tropical dry forest. Theres a wet season with a very long dry season. Its an endangered ecosystem. And can be close to actual rainforest. And keeps catching on fire. (Atleast in costa rica)
Just looked it up, Hawaii does have tropical dry forest 🤝🏼
James: “And he was also a coconut weaver” Jimmie: 🤔
The reason one side of the island is wet and the other side is dry is something called a rain shadow. The mountains block the air currents, forcing them up and condensing the water out, causing rain on that side of the mountains. By the time the air reaches the other side of the mountains it's dried out.
As I understand it, eukalalies first arrived in Hawaii via Portuguese sailors, and the people of the islands really took to it. I'd love to visit one day, gor the culture snd volcanoes, but I'm reluctant to contribute to the damage tourism causes to the environment of the islands.
I was born in Honolulu. My dad was stationed there. I was born at the military hospital which my mom told me was pink. Being born in Hawaii a loy of people have told I'm illegal and need a green card to work. Its pretty crazy how many people don't know its a part of the US. Especially ones in charge of jobs.
People are idiots, clearly. Hawaii was a colony for 50+ years before becoming a state. The way it became part of the USA is a perfect example of the way commercial interests dictate colonialism, and white wash it as 'freedom'. They treated the last Queen of Hawaii terribly.
This one was sad. Police did him and his family dirty. In a community that small, I’m not surprised his cover was blown in a month, if it was ever truly a secret in the first place. Smh.
Listening James try to pronounce Hawaiian words had the same exasperated tone as Jimmie pronouncing our names.
Yoooooo 😂😂😂
I lived in Hawaii for a year. Cant wait to listen to this one
James nearly nailed it, it's Kah-why-hi As for Jimmie's question, volcanic activity creates vog, similar to smog.
