Dies ist Folge 3 meiner 2 Weeks of Summer Memories, meinem 5-teiligen Special zu einer der tollsten Animationsserien überhaupt. Leider dank der dürftigen Promo bei Prime Video, wo sie läuft, auch eine der unbekanntesten. Das möchte ich im Rahmen meiner Möglichkeiten, zusammen mit den großartigen Menschen hinter der Serie, gerne ändern. Mein heutiger Gast leiht in Summer Memories seine Stimme Tim, dem kleinen Bruder von Jason. Dies macht er so beeindruckend, dass ich noch während einer bestimmten Folge gezielt nach dem Sprecher von Tim gesucht habe. Diese Folge wird auch mehrfach in unserer Folge erwähnt. Zusätzlich könnt ihr dem ausgebildeten Schauspieler (M.A. Schauspiel mit Auszeichnung, Note 1,0 im Sprechen) bei ARTE in den Formaten Mathewelten, Tape und Crazy Borders lauschen. Desweiteren vertonte er das Hörbuch "der Geheimnisvolle Briefschreiber“, zeigt sich kämpferisch als Roter Ranger bei den Power Rangers Dino Fury und macht als Looche bei Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Freddie in Borderlands 3, Kingston in Battlefield, Otto and Manuel Lego 2K Drive und Keola aus The Crew Motorfest auch Videospielwelten akustisch etwas schöner. Als Kommissar Dillinger ist er zudem Teil des Ermittlerteams beim SWR-Radiotatort. Seine Aufnahmen als Brandvoice von Loceryl und Shopify runden sein Sprechprofil ab. Vor der Kamera ist er bei „Pfälzisch im Abgang“ für die Pfälzer Nerds am Start. Als Intro und Outro hört ihr die großartige Eröffnungsmusik der Serie. Diese darf ich dank dem kanadischen Schöpfer der Serie Adam Yaniv verwenden. Thank you so much, Adam! Viel Spaß auch euch mit unserem Gespräch!

Kammeran is a 22 year old photographer, born and raised in the Hawaiian Islands.

He's one of our own Pexels Heroes who's become quite a household name in the community - winning several challenges from Pexelspalooza to the Ocean Life Challenge.

Make sure to always run your own numbers, make your own independent decisions and seek investment advice from licensed professionals.   Michael: Hey, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael Albaum and today with me, we have our certified agent Joe Porter for the Charleston, South Carolina Market. He's going to be talking to us today about all the things we need to know as investors before getting involved in that space. So let's get into it.   Joe Porter, what's going on, man? Thanks for taking the time to hang out with me today.   Joe: Hello, you're welcome. Thanks for having me.   Michael: My pleasure. I am super excited to talk to everybody with you about Charleston, South Carolina.   Tell us a little bit Joe, first off who you are, where you come from? How long have you been an agent? And are you an investor personally, quickfire questions to get started…   Joe: Absolutely, ready to go. So I moved to Charleston to attend the College of Charleston about 22 years ago. And like many other people, never left. I came from the Washington DC area and visited the region one time and never looked back. So shortly after graduating from the College of Charleston, I was one of the many residual recipients of ninja loans, okay, so, you know, I knew a ton of people who needed rooms for rent, and I got the bright idea, let's buy a house. And I was working at a bartender out on Folly Beach at the time, and was making tips and Wells Fargo decided to give me $200,000, which I bought my first house with that sort of kicked off my real estate career.   Once I found that house, I kind of got the bug and never stopped looking. So I went in from there and got my real estate license. I'm not a very sales oriented person. So I knew from there, I wanted to embark on sort of the investing side of things. So I signed on as a buyer for: the we buy ugly houses franchise home investor.   Michael: Okay.   Joe: So that sort of gave me the framework of looking how to, you know, analyze a deal, the repairs, and how to present an offer to the seller. And right about that time, I established a brokerage to sort of dovetail my, you know, investing, dealings and offers to then list retail, I experienced some success there. And then the bottom of the market fell off and I just had a bunch of listings and no buyers. At that point, I guess this was around, you know, 2000/ 7, 8, 9 I came up with a bright idea to start buying houses. So I put together a little mean, machine of a crew with the idea to have the acquisitions improvement and management all under one umbrella. And we started buying houses, okay.   So the first house I bought was in North Charleston, it was a single family detached home for $12,000.   Michael: What?   Joe: It pulled… Yeah, oh yeah. Someone had yanked all the copper plumbing out of it, all the copper wires. It had been, you know, sitting vacant as a foreclosure, you know, owned by, you know, the Bank of New York and so that was the first house. And we went in, renovated it, rather quickly. And, you know, rented it out and that was my proof of concept. I said, this works out great. You know, at the time, I rented it out for $800 a month. Today, I still have that house, you know, what now almost 15 years later, and it's a 1200 a month rental for me.   Michael: And what did you spend on the rehab? Do you recall?   Joe: You know, at this point, I did everything myself. You know, I knew enough to be dangerous, but now, I know I really didn't know anything about renovations and construction. So I cut some corners but you know, and I was buying used materials, things like that. I spent about seven grand on the rehab   Michael: So you bought it for 12, put seven into it and then rented it for a 50. Dude…   Joe: Yes, and didn't take an accountant to, to like those returns.   Michael: That's incredible. I don't think I've ever heard of it like, that's like a 4% plus property.   Joe: Yes, indeed. So after that, you know, I brought in more people on the construction side to help me out, we put… put a crew together, and I continued to participate in the labor, we bought one house after another. And then, you know, we did about 10/ 12 houses a year. And I currently own and manage about 55 rental units in the Charleston area. So they're all scattered site, single family detached. And, you know, so I spent a solid about eight years just doing that cumulating. And then, since the market has shifted, I've focused more on my brokerage activities, I brought my wife, Claire in on the business, and she helps with buying and selling. So last year, we did about 15 million in transactions, but 50 sites. Year before we did about 14 million. So right now, we are solely focused on the brokerage activity. And if you know something should present itself from an acquisition standpoint, we jump on it, our business model is, you know, will present when we go on a listing appointment, will present an array of options.   So, you know, first option is, you know, hey, I see what you got, we could sell it as is, for this price, we can also help you with some of the repairs, and we'll pitch in on the repair costs, bring our crew in to help maximize the cost of the or maximize the value, we do a cost value approach there. And then the third and final option, when it's appropriate, we can buy directly from you, no commissions, no closing costs, you know, on your timeline, whatever, whatever you want to do there. So doing that we have, we'll add a couple to the portfolio, we'll buy maybe one or two a year that will be flips, and then we'll list you know, about 50 years.   Michael: Joe, this is amazing. Man, there's so much here that I want to unpack, we'll have to have you back on just to talk about that side of your business. But I want to, I want to shift gears here a little bit and talk about Charleston, as a market so that all of our listeners can get an idea of what they could expect why they should be excited about the market.   So can you give us just some high level overview of: Are people moving to Charleston? And if so why? You know, what companies are headquartered there? What jobs are available for folks?   Joe: Yes, so the secret is out on Charleston. It is currently, I think ranked the 12 fastest growing metro area in the United States, we have about 38 people a day moving to the region. Especially over the past two years, we've seen a bit of a migration of both, you know, people trying to leave more crowded, you know, urban environments, or baby boomers coming to retirement age. And so those are the type of migration that we're seeing in the area. You know, Charleston, people might know it, as, you know, the historic downtown. You know, 20 years ago, our economy was based on tourism, and hospitality. So we were, you know, just in that service sector, and that was about it. But since then, you know, our economy has exploded, we now are anchored in manufacturing. So the state of South Carolina is very sort of, you know, company friendly. We're offering incentives for companies to move here and set up shop. You know, there's not a lot of labor unions or, you know, thing it's a right to work state, so companies like that. So that's lured Boeing from Seattle, to North Charleston. Volvo's setting up here, Mercedes, Daimler, Chrysler, Bosch, new core. Those are examples of some of the companies here in the Charleston area in the manufacturing sector.   We also have a military presence. Okay, we have a joint base, that's Air Force. We have a naval, naval weapons station, and a nucular submarine school based in Goose Creek, which is just 15 minutes north of Charleston. And there's also going to be developing one of the larger Coast Guard schools here, so we have military and then education, my alma mater, College of Charleston, the Citadel and the Medical School of South Carolina. You know that along with our port activity, so Charleston, has just completed a port deepening. So that makes us the deepest port on the east coast. So lots of importing, exporting, is bringing a bunch of, you know, auxilary businesses with it to the…     Michael: Yeah, oh my gosh, that's really interesting. I had no idea. So…okay…   Joe: …there's a lot happening here.   Michael: Uh, yeah, sure, sounds like it. Joe, I'm wondering if you could do a screen share and kind of give everybody who's watching this online, a visual tour of the city, if you will. And if you could share with us, where do you like to look for your investments? And where should folks be looking for there's based on if they're targeting cash flow, or some appreciation potential?   Joe: So one of the things I like about Charleston is, you know, our sub markets, okay, this is a unique region that's geographically defined by all this water here, okay. So if you could see my cursor, here, we have the downtown Peninsula, okay. So everybody knows, the historic Charleston downtown. There is a district within the Peninsula downtown, that's been designated for short term rentals, okay. And as a result, you know, prices are up your average property will sell for over a million dollars. But that's situated in the middle of the peninsula here where, you know, you know, vacationers guests can come and, you know, walk the city, which is very walkable, you can see it's not very big the, the downtown Peninsula, okay.   You know, one of the things that makes Charleston so unique is the fact that they've kept all their historic buildings. So there's buildings, you know, 1800s just beautiful along the battery here, which makes it a big attraction. They also have lots of rules to what you can and can't do with properties. So, for example, we have a height restriction. The buildings cannot be higher than the large, you know, the tallest church steeple. So they call it the holy city, you look at the skyline, and you see nothing but church steeples, okay, downtown. So as a result, they have lifted the height restriction, we call this the neck area, which is part of the Peninsula, that sort of, you know… isn't very wide. And so there's a bunch of growth here in this area, where, you know, there's some high rises, some more development happening, as opposed to the downtown area, which you know, was full about 200 years ago.   Michael: Okay.   Joe: Then, of course, you have your barrier islands, okay. This is a great place for short term rentals. So we have Folly Beach out here, we have Kiawah Island. And to the north here, we have island homes, and Solomon's Island. These are excellent places to invest in that beach house. Okay, I got one on Folly Beach, where it's a five bedroom, three and a half bath, where we'll do $100,000 in gross rental revenue this year, from our season that's getting ready to start in mid-March and go through September.   Michael: Holy smokes, and what do you buy it for Joe?   Joe: I bought that house for just over a million dollars.   Michael: That's incredible.   Joe: And then we have our more suburban communities to the south James Island. That's where I live most of the year. John's Island, one of the largest Sea Islands on the East Coast, that's mostly residential and upcoming area. A lot of this, you know, you could drive not very far outside of Charleston, say 30 minutes to get you through Johns Island, and to more rural places like Guatemala, where you think you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're still a stone's throw away from Charleston. One area of significant growth would be the Somerville area. Okay. So some of these manufacturers that I'm talking about Volvo Chrysler, Daimler, they are setting up shop along this I-26 corridor. And so as a result, we're seeing a lot of newer developments such as: Next in, you know, nicely done, new schools that are becoming great areas to invest. For example, you might see a, you know, three bedroom, single family home, new construction in the mid three hundreds low for hundreds come available, that type of property would rent for about $2,200 a month.   Michael: This is great, this is great. And do you have more like entry level price point neighborhoods and suburbs?   Joe: Yes. So entry level for Charleston would be right around that mid $300,000. So there's areas Mount Pleasant would be the most sort of desirable suburb. The entry level there is about 700,000, James Island entry level about 400,000. Now John's, we still were in the three hundreds. And then areas north North Charleston, this area of Goose Creek. This outlined area in gray here is the Naval Weapons Station. So this is a great area for rentals, and buying newer homes in Goose Creek, where you can get a house in, you know, around 300 to 350,000 and have a bunch of good renter's here.   There's also some areas of North in the south end of North Charleston that are quite popular. This area is referred to as Park Circle, sort of Old North Charleston community developed in the 40s, 50s. And then these areas here where I own a bunch of rental properties, this is called Dorchester Terrace Waylon, where you could still get a house for under 200,000. This was all developed in the 30s and 40s. Because we had the naval base, huge naval base here on the Cooper River. So the houses are 80 years old, but they represent a good location and, you know, high demand for rentals.   Michael: Fantastic and Joe, can you give everyone listening and watching an idea of some traditional things to be aware of if they are going to be thinking about investing in Charleston? So for instance, how do property taxes work? And then what kind of natural hazards or catastrophes are known to hit the Charleston area and that people should be aware of?   Joe: Okay, well, I'll start with, with the second question here, of course, with all the water, okay, flood insurance, okay. Lots of properties, lots of areas are in flood, well, everything's in a flood zone, but a lot are in A, E, V zones, that would represent, you know, flood risk, and therefore, most properties carry flood insurance.   Michael: Okay.   Joe: Certainly the ones on the barrier islands do downtown, there are certain areas to be aware of where there's drainage issues. However, in the suburbs here, you get a little bit out of you know, that this 526 corridor here, your typical flood insurance policy in A zone will run you about $700 a year. So nothing, you know, cost prohibitive. However, if you get into some of these beach or low lying areas, you're looking at, you know, 2500- 5,000 a year, as well as you know, the risk of flooding. So there's always something to be aware of. That's one of the first questions I'll ask property owners or sellers: Okay, do you have an elevation certificate detailing how high your house is in relationship to the base flood elevation? And how much is your flood insurance policy? And is that policy assumable? So that's one thing to be aware of, in this area. Property taxes to address that are, I would say relatively affordable or cheaper than other areas. So your average price home, you know, say 350,000, which is the median price here in Charleston, your property taxes will be about $5,500 a year. So I think that's relatively pretty, you know, affordable.   Michael: Got it, got it. So like one and a half percent 1.4%, roughly, of the purchase price,   Joe: Correct, yeah. And so, um, we do a point of sale assessment. So a property's value is reassessed at the point of purchase and it's assessed for that amount, and then from there, there's a cap it can't, the value cannot go up more than 10% and then it's milled down from there. So it's not that you're there's a cap that it'll jump 10%, is the assessed value. So once you're there, you're locked in, basically, you know, incrementally increase if the, you know, if the market continues to do so.   Michael: Okay, got it. And everyone's talking right now we're recording this middle of February, about how crazy and red hot the market seems to be. And we always like to remind folks that hey real estate is done locally and so well, one market might be red hot, others might be less so. So talk to us a little bit about what you're seeing in the Charleston market, how much supply do you have? How fast are these homes going for? And kind of that, what percentage of the list price are they moving at?   Joe: So we've had a similar supply and demand dynamic as most markets, we have very little supply in high demand. Currently, in our more Tri County area in the MLS, there's about 900 properties for sale, if you strip out new construction or proposed construction, it comes closer to 500. Okay, that would represent under one month of inventory, so about three weeks. So you know, if another house doesn't come online, in three weeks, we'll be down to zero. So I've never seen it this low. So it's definitely inventory is constrained. As a result, you know, we've received, we've, you know, had basically 22% price appreciation over last year, so prices are skyrocketing. And, you know, it is a tough market. It's, you know, but investors who are willing to, you know, take on maybe a house that needs repairs, or act quickly, or have the ability to, you know, go in on an offer cash, they certainly have a leg up in this environment.   Michael: Okay. Okay, and where are you coaching your buyers to do to win offers?   Joe: As quickly, of course, sometimes, will awaive appraisals, or put in appraisal buffers, stating that, you know, if we are going to use financing, you know, we'll be able to kick in extra money towards the down payment. Sometimes we'll pitch a cash offer and be able to submit proof of funds in in, you know, saying we're willing to close with cash, and then we'll substitute with financing at the closing. Other times, we'll you know, say we're, you know, based on a walkthrough inspection, or you know, you do enough due diligence upfront that will buy the house as is. Average days on market are about three. So the speed of which you act is, is very important. And then average selling price to list price is about 98%. So, you know, if you're going to, you know, make an offer, you better bring it. So that's some of the things we do to coach our buyers in this market.   Michael: It makes total sense and great insights. Joe, I'm curious to get your opinion kind of thoughts around as you're looking at properties to post to Roofstock because you're obviously our certified agent out in the Charleston market. What is it that you're looking for what makes a great investment property, in your opinion?   Joe: One thing I'm super excited about is, Roofstock short term rental market, okay. And we don't have Charleston online quite yet, but we're working towards it. But I think some of the higher rate of return will be in this Isla palms, Folly Beach, Keola, on the short term rental side, as well as downtown Charleston. The numbers that are being produced here are amazing. So once we get the short term rental stuff up and running, I'd love for everybody to you know, hone in on, on some of those properties. Because, you know, we have properties on Cuba, for example, that are producing over well over $350,000 a year on a short term basis.   Michael: Holy smokes and what are the list price on some of those just to give people some perspective?   Joe: So that particular one I'm referencing, it's called the ocean blue and it's listed on our website: http://kiawahislandgetaways.com/ . And that was a million dollar, it was $1.4 million attached, so it's condo regime stuff, oceanfront home, that the owners spent a million on the interior. I mean, this thing looks like it's out of Southern Living…   Michael: Holy Smokes…   Joe: …and that's on Kiawah Island, which is a resort, I don't know if anybody saw the PGA Championship on the ocean course here. This past year Kiawah Island has five amazing golf courses, they have great amenities pools and a very nice beach. It's very walkable, there's, you know, parks and pass throughout the island. And so that's a nice spot for everybody to know about. But back on, you know, the majority of people doing the long term, buy and hold investing, I am on the outskirts of Charleston. Okay, so I'm looking at this more entry level pricing for the area around 350 and below, I'm looking for some of the newer builds, I'm looking for houses that are not in, you know, flood zones, not within expensive HOA areas, and ones that are within the path of progress. So, for example, this Summerville area here that is continuing to grow and flourish. I'm posting things in Goose Creek by the Air Force Base Hanahan, you know, that have good school districts, I'm posting those type of properties where there's been a strong demand for that type of housing, and strong growth in that area.   Michael: Love it, love it. Joe, this has been super insightful man, I'm curious to know, though, in your opinion, how can buyers be best prepared to work with you in the Charleston market?   Joe: Well, I think, you know, come and visit, you know, come, come take a look for yourselves. And I'd be happy to show people around and, you know, show them the different areas, you know, back to my point about these different sub markets. Okay, so, you know, we have these islands and sub markets, and each one has its own little flavor, each one has its, you know, is unique for different reasons. So, it really depends on, you know, whether the investors, you know, purely return driven, or maybe they want to have a place they can stay sometimes when they visit, there's, there's a lot of different angles here. So it really comes down to the investors, you know, needs, and, you know, from there, we could turn them on to different areas. So, come and visit, come hang out with me, that would be one suggestion, you know, and then, you know, get, make sure to have all your ducks in the row. And, you know, make sure of course, financing, if you're going to finance a property, you know, proof of funds ready to go and be ready to pull the trigger, you know, I'll be able to do a walk through inspection, I'm underwriting these properties for repairs, I have a strong knowledge base of, you know, the rental market, and know when it's appropriate to push on that rental price. And where we can eke out some more money and have a pretty good understanding of, you know, where the activity is, and where the growth is going to be.   So, you know, give me a call, you can get in touch with me, you know, my website: http://lighthousecharleston.com/ , or email me at: joe@lighthouscharleston.com , and we can, you know, further the conversation, but, you know, in short, you have to act fast, and throw your hat in the ring to get in.   I do think that, you know, we had a little bit of a law, as many markets did, you know, ended December, early January, but then, you know, really started pick up this first year, lots of activity, you know, more houses are being built, you know, you know, sellers now, you know, we're trying to convince, you know, people who are ready to exit the market to do so. So, you know, there'll be more opportunities coming and so just, I'm on the MLS checking every single day, you know, what's being listed, and posting those opportunities straight to Roofstock. So you're getting the, you know, up to date information because once something's posted, you'll probably see it go pending within a day or two.   You know, you'll see multiple offer scenarios. One other tool we're using, you know, we're introducing escalation clauses. So we're setting a cap on the purchase price, based on you know, what type of return you want, or you know, the deal itself where it's priced, and we're saying we'll beat the next offer by, you know, depending on the price point 1000, $5,000. And so that way you're not going in blind leaving money on the table, we're just escalating that purchase.   Michael: That's great, that's great. Joe, this has been super insightful. I know I'm getting really excited about the Charleston market, definitely want to be in touch with you. Thanks again for coming on, I appreciate you.   Joe: My pleasure, thank you for having me.   Michael: You're welcome and I will talk to you, I'm sure, take care.   Okay, well, that was our episode, a big thank you to Joe for coming on. I know, I got super excited about the Charleston market, I need to do some more research on my own. Looking forward to seeing many of you out there.

Welcome to the Nick Taylor Horror Show! Keola Racela is the director of one of FANGORIA's new acquisitions, PORNO! Porno pits a hapless group of upright religious & abstinent teens against a deviant sex demon who they accidentally release by watching a satanic porn film one night at the theatre they work at. Porno delivers laughs and scares in equal measure and is a blast of a film. Porno is out now on VOD, and I highly recommend you check it out.  Porno is Keola's feature debut, and we get into the ins and outs of low budget filmmaking, gore gags, and a particularly, ahem, nut busting sequence from Porno. Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Porno director Keola Racela.    Play it straight. When it comes to horror, there are countless movies that are intentionally campy, and as a result, cheesy. In some cases, this can be a good thing, but in horror, it's important to be cognizant of the fine line between exploitation and camp. The way to ensure that your movie is taken seriously is to make sure the actors always play their roles straight and take the material seriously. If the actors wink at the camera too much, the audience checks out. There are a lot of thoughts on the balance between humor and comedy, and in Keola's case, he recommends ensuring the actors keep their performances dramatic and letting the humor come from the circumstances.   Move fast. Making a film is making a million decisions, and getting hung up on small details can be the silent death of your movie, or at least substantially slow things down. Keola and his filmmaking partners had a very small window to make Porno in, and they rose to the occasion. The momentum of the fast-paced pre-production and production imbued the movie with a sense of fun and hustle that was infectious to the cast and crew. In the world of filmmaking, over-thinking is the enemy. Condensed timelines and limited resources require quick thinking and decisiveness but can also enable opportunities. Many very established directors claim that they actually prefer working on lower budget movies because the limitations of time and money offer more opportunities for creativity. When you can't throw money at a challenge on set, you have to resort to your own resourcefulness and creative ingenuity, and this often results in very interesting and unexpected things happening on camera. There is also a creative purity that can occur when you're forced to move fast; effects legend Steven Johnson often talks about how Clive Barker taught him that the first draft of everything is often the closest to the original idea, and therefore the purest. Because of this, it's important to ‘vomit' out the first draft of anything as quickly as possible because the idea is less likely to be at the mercy of being watered down or butchered by overthinking & overdevelopment.   Explore grants and programs. Keola applied to be part of the Sundance editing program, whereby he would have gotten a polished editor to work on his movie for free. Considering that he was making a movie about a sex demon that came out of a satanic porn film, it was a long shot for Sundance to consider his movie, but dammit, he tried anyway! In the end, he didn't get into the editing program, but applying to it did get him the Sundance opportunity to get his movie scored by a professional composer, which significantly boosted the production value of the film. So check out grants. Even if you don't think you have a shot at getting them, the application process may yield unexpected opportunities.   Each film needs a north star. As a director, you need to have a strong understanding of exactly what you want to accomplish with your film. Not necessarily so, you can ensure every single specific detail is accomplished, but so you can come up with plan B when your best-laid plans come down crashing and burning on production day. Keola mentioned that a number of larger ideas he had for the film didn't work when it came time to shoot, and he had to quickly figure out new solutions right then and there on set. Luckily, he had a very strong vision of his movie and characters, so he could improvise solutions on the spot without going back to the drawing board. The distinction to be made is here, is not that your vision for your movie should be so rigid and precious that every last detail has to be shot exactly as you pictured it, no. The point is for your vision to be thorough enough to be adaptable to the inevitable trials and tribulations that come with making films. Having this kind of a north star understanding of your movie enables you to have the flexibility to improvise when best-laid plans go to shit on set. Furthermore, not having a solid vision for your film can make you prone to distractions, false starts, and dead ends. As the Cheshire Cat said to Alice during her trip to Wonderland, “if you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.” Knowing your destination enables you to adapt and get to where you're going through a different route when trouble arises. All of this allows you to move at the lightning-fast speed required for indie filmmaking while remaining completely faithful to your film.   Books Mentioned:  On Film-making: An Introduction to the Craft of the Director by Alexander Mackendrick Making Movies by Sydney Lumet The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film by Michael Ondaatje   Thanks as always for listening to The Nick Taylor Horror Show!

The former is an organization addressing the health and wellness of the Native Hawaiian people through hands-on healing modalities (like lomilomi), and the latter focuses on the advancement of Native Hawaiian men in order to transform the social fabric of Hawaiʻi one person, and one family at a time.

Avalanche danger keeps the boys grounded, and they improvise in the best way they know how: With some bagels, some BK, and a good 'ole fashioned backflip jump. Filmed entirely on the Canon 5D Mark II by Parker Alec Cross, Episode Two calms things down, while simultaneously reminding us how serious of a situation we have here in the Wasatch this season. Featuring the talents of Andy Earl and JP Sokolowski, as well as a cameo by Keola, a simple backflip was never so satisfying.
