I Didn't Expect Hawaii to Look Like This

Added: 2026-05-07

[00:00:00]I was in Aahu, the most populated of the Hawaiian islands, escaping the winter cold back home. It felt amazing to be here.

[00:00:09]>> Yellow guys, I am test I am becoming a professional vlogger with this new camera.

[00:00:16]Guys, here's the view from the balcony.

[00:00:18]There's the pool.

[00:00:22]Let's get it. My first day in Hawaii, I explored around the famed tourist local Waiki Beach, seeing the mall and shops and more. You can see it's all green and lush.

[00:00:37]This is crazy looking.

[00:00:40]It's like the rainforest cafe in real life, guys. Guys, this is an exceptional tree protected by city ordinance. It is exceptional. I will give them that.

[00:00:50]Absolutely. It's definitely touristy af.

[00:00:57]I love the looking up in palm trees angle. That goes so hard. Okay, guys.

[00:01:03]Now, kiss. I do love these vibes. These are pretty immaculate. I got to say, guys, it is extremely busy and extremely touristy and also further from everywhere. I've heard I swear I've heard like 20 different AoE villager noises. But yeah, I just asked a lady uh security guard how to get to the beach and she said go this way. There's a boardwalk. So, I'm doing it.

[00:01:33]No doggy.

[00:01:35]So, here we are. The boardwalk's just to the left in the distance. There we go. About to go to this place called Steak Shack.

[00:01:45]Steak Shack. Let's see what it's all about. So, these are the options.

[00:01:51]The steak shack, guys. We got a sneaky little peek in.

[00:01:55]He's cooking it up right now. He's cheffing. Bro's chefing it up.

[00:02:04]Grub. This looks jumping. This looks absolutely yumping. Okay, so I asked what she recommended, the lady who worked there, and she said medium and then ranch. So, I got medium rare and ranch.

[00:02:23]Then you also get greens and rice with it.

[00:02:29]Yeah, this hits. We're eating good.

[00:02:32]I recommend the yearn for the steak plate. I'm trying to get better and better, you know, cuz with the new vlog camera and stuff. So, here's a new angle. New angle dropped.

[00:02:44]Feeling refreshed the next day, I was going to walk around and climb Diamond Head Crater Ridge. It's called Diamond Head because of the shining calsite crystals on the beach below. It's also called Leah in Hawaiian because the ridge line resembles the shape of an AI tuna's dorsal fin. So, lots of unique names.

[00:03:02]Good morning, guys. So, there's this little strip of water between Wiki, which is behind me, and like the mountains up there. It's funny cuz Wy Ki is sort of towering and behind me and then you spin it and it's much more like lush and uh suburban. The architecture it feels sort of like 1960s slightly. It's like almost it's a little Miami even. It's I don't know. It's fun, but I I do love the vibe of it, bro. I think that's a Browns jersey maybe. So, I'm going to be hiking some of those. I don't know which one exactly. That might be Mount Olympus up there. I'd have to check. Oh, there's really little baby fish. Fish. So, Oh my god. Wait, I just realized the There are millions of little fish here. I didn't even see them, guys. They got chickens.

[00:03:59]Little ducklings.

[00:04:01]Hello. They got some [ __ ] Some big black [ __ ] just as I'm walking away. Okay. Yeah, walk away, buddy. This is sort of Hawaii suburbia. I guess there's a lot of traffic or something. They got people directing it and stuff.

[00:04:21]I just overheard the one of the policemen talking and all the lights are out apparently. I don't think I'm going to be doing Uber or anything. I'm going to be walking everywhere. With the power outage feeling like an adventure, I meandered up towards Diamond Head. But I was getting a bit hungry.

[00:04:36]>> Damn, I got the wellon drip on and everything. So, the power's out at this place, so I had to get uh pay in cash, which I had a little bit of. So, I got this thing called a massi, which is spam and rice wrapped in seaweed. And then I got a little bento box. And I've never had one of these. He was like, "Are you going hiking?" He was like, "This is a good pack." So, I'm curious to try this.

[00:04:59]So, it's spam and rice. Musubi. So, you could see there's the spam and then there's the seaweed.

[00:05:12]Is there egg in here?

[00:05:16]That good.

[00:05:18]I'm going try the bento. I think it's pork bento.

[00:05:29]Oh, so good. After my spam msubi, I was off to climb Diamond Head.

[00:05:33]>> Guys, I got my hat on. We're we're we're getting after it.

[00:05:39]God damn it.

[00:05:42]>> Oh, in the meantime, too, horrible.

[00:05:46]Silver light.

[00:05:48]>> Easy work.

[00:05:48]>> All right, so kind of closing in on it. There was this little workout area. I hit a couple reps. See the ocean over there and then Diamond Head Crater up there. It's a little bit of a hike to get in and then there's a tunnel we're going to have to go through. So that's the tunnel, guys. You go through this tunnel, falling rocks.

[00:06:11]Oh no.

[00:06:13]Oh no. Once more onto the brereech, guys. I'm in the tunnel. Look at that shining behind me. That goes crazy.

[00:06:23]How you doing? I'm on I'm on my I'm on some Indiana Jones [ __ ] I be on my Indiana Jones. So all the way up there, that's the the very top. You can see we're literally inside the crater. This big grassy field and then going to be going up all the way over there. Let's get it.

[00:06:44]>> So we're inside going to be going up there. Please do not feed to monguses.

[00:06:52]>> I learned later that monguses were brought to Hawaii by Europeans to hunt rats to control their infestations. But monguses are dal while rats are nocturnal. So they don't really interact at all. And I don't think monguses would want to eat rats anyway. All in all, it was a failed endeavor. Starts sort of very lightly forested like open fields and stuff and I think it'll get much more sparse near the top. Well guys, looks like we got to turn around.

[00:07:22]That was a good run. Oh, it's like carved into the rock a little bit now.

[00:07:26]little walkway along a looks like a creek bed.

[00:07:31]So, a lot of like cut in switchbacks now.

[00:07:36]Shortcuts cause erosion. See, it sort of extends up there getting rockier and rockier. So, now you're on the far side of the crater. Can see out inside of the crater.

[00:07:53]>> Not yet. This is halfway. Not quite.

[00:07:56]>> Another tunnel, >> guys. Another tunnel that's got like a very low roof. If you were tall, you would be bonking your head. Thankfully, I don't have that problem. But just went up a bunch of steps. That's why I'm out of breath. It's got a steep uphill gradient. Loop trail to summit.

[00:08:18]>> Going left is recommended. The stairs here went up into the old machine gun bunker under the top of the crater with another short tunnel like the one I just went through above. Up here it's much shrubier. You can see them kind of just the whole island behind me. Yeah, got some steep steps.

[00:08:37]Some kind of ruin. That is some prime real estate down there. Got some big cargo ships out there.

[00:08:46]I loved the tan and shell colored buildings paired with the landscape. A really aesthetic combo >> cinema. Everything from the crater and then over it.

[00:09:00]We are really out here.

[00:09:03]It's beautiful.

[00:09:06]Headed back down in the little slop and tunnel. It's like coming out of the Imperial sewers in oblivion. Guys, we're back in civilization.

[00:09:17]The last trash can. It was probably about what I anticipated in terms of a hike, too. I thought it was actually going to be easier than it was. I'd also think I was like 12k steps into my day before I even got here. So, I think that might be a part of it. Guys, the power is back. Is this the real size of this bird?

[00:09:38]Hawaii's majestic or great frigot bird.

[00:09:43]Oo, I don't know if I'm just going to go scan this QR code about the frigate bird. You know what, guys? Frigot. I'm going to scan that QR code. They got a couple food trucks. I'm going to get one of these. I don't know exactly what yet.

[00:09:57]I'm having this thing called Dole Whip.

[00:09:59]It's like apparently it's vegan and dairyfree. It's like ice cream with pineapple.

[00:10:08]The kids are all running from BB.

[00:10:11]I got to say guys, a Dole Whip after a hot hike, that is an absolute gamecher.

[00:10:18]>> After my Dole Whip snack, I went to leave the crater and wander more.

[00:10:22]>> Back into mine, guys. Someone mine this.

[00:10:25]This was over 100 blocks wide. It's amazing. Man's ingenuity. All right, we're back out. We're free. It's kind of interesting because there's little chunks of houses going up. You can see it especially right there because it's probably like the flattest incline and then on each side is very steep. You can see how the microclimate is like it's probably could be raining at the top and then it just flies over and then it's clear again. But yeah, it's interesting how there's these uh these like winding roads up to the mountains that sort of follow the contour of the hill. It's cool, guys. There's chickens everywhere and they're always kind of scurrying around. Hello little creature. I did not know there was going to be chickens everywhere. Like look look at all these chickens, man. That's an aesthetic [ __ ] It's a nice [ __ ] Nice [ __ ] It's a black car. Okay, I'm I'm done, man. Is that a dog park, bro? They got chickens in a dog park.

[00:11:26]That can't be sustainable.

[00:11:28]Oh, that was a mong, guys. It's a mongoose.

[00:11:36]It's a mongoose.

[00:11:38]He's digging.

[00:11:40]What is bro digging for?

[00:11:43]Oh, he's going.

[00:11:45]He's scurrying off.

[00:11:48]Into the grass he goes. No, I I'm friendly. I wish he knew I was friendly.

[00:11:54]The mongoose was about what I expected, but now I was going to get back to Wiki.

[00:12:00]I'm going to be real, guys. I had no idea that we're monguses. Even when I saw the sign, I didn't believe it. They have all these old school uh signposts on it and it's like a um it's like a night market down here. Pretty cool.

[00:12:16]The next day I embarked on my bus tour.

[00:12:18]It would take me to a few spots and drive the whole eastern or windward side of the island before returning to Honolulu from the north.

[00:12:25]>> So, it's 6:20 and it's still completely dark out, which is interesting.

[00:12:31]Oh, they're open and stuff. But yeah, I just woke up and gets kind of like a light baby blue before sun up. That's where we're at.

[00:12:42]Still kind of empty. Waiting for my buzz. At Lai Lookout, I tried this doughnut which had poi made from taro which is a staple in the Polynesian diet. A bit like rice or potatoes.

[00:12:55]Is it good?

[00:12:58]M.

[00:13:00]It's purple, guys. What the hell? It's purple. So, it's purple because of the tarot root. It actually bangs. I'm a big po donut guy now. So, this is the blow hole. A flume of water will come up cuz it gets pushed right through the hole.

[00:13:16]Yep. There we go. Yep. Yep. Cuz there's a little mouse.

[00:13:22]Little rat. We now stopped at Nanu Pali, the site of a big battle in 1795 when King Kamehameha decisively took over Aahu. Many warriors were driven over the cliff in the fighting. When they were building a road through here in the late 1800s, they found a spot with over 800 human skulls from the battle. So, this was the battle in 1795 where King Kamehameha murdered all of the other king of Hawaii's of Oahu's troops. And it was a brutal slaughter, but it's so serene and beautiful now.

[00:13:58]They lined him up and made him jump. I fear Next, we stopped at the Bodoin Temple, which is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple at Yugji in Japan. It was built in August 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.

[00:14:13]Temple's called Vodian.

[00:14:16]And uh it's behind me. We're in front of the koi pond. As you can see, you ring the bell for good luck. Hi, buddy. They yearn for the forbidden snacks. Oh, these little fellas just stuck in there. They can't go. They're not like salmon. They can't go down the stream.

[00:14:36]Look at Broke. Oh my god.

[00:14:40]This must be the biggest one in here.

[00:14:41]God, man. They're freaks. They They are hungry. This is kind of freaking me out.

[00:14:51]>> Cheers. Thank you. Yeah.

[00:14:55]Our next stop on the bus trip was a macadamia nut farm about halfway up the east coast of the island. These are called Laala trees, nicknamed walking trees. And there's still a bunch of chickens here cuz they're they kind of like take up from the ground. Laala trees.

[00:15:20]>> Yeah, buddy. I'm having coffee with macadamia nut in it at a macadamia nut farm. So, I'm going to try some macadamia nuts as well. It's just a bunch of macadamia nuts in here.

[00:15:35]So, you take a rock and you bonk it.

[00:15:41]Oh, I completely de just demolished it.

[00:15:49]So they have a million different kinds of macadamia nuts.

[00:15:53]See throughout here Maui onion and garlic cinnamon glazed roasted salted.

[00:16:03]But you can try them cuz these are honey roasted.

[00:16:09]Those bang Maui onion and garlic. We're about to find out how they are.

[00:16:16]Okay.

[00:16:18]M. It's almost like a like if you took a Pringle and turned it into like a a hard nugget. Yeah, I like the sweet ones better.

[00:16:28]Chicken in the back seat.

[00:16:30]It's gorgeous, man. After snacking on some macadamia nuts, we continued on. We were going to stop in a small town called Halewa on the north shore of Aahu. This area and where we drove through has famous beaches for surfing.

[00:16:43]This is a rainbow eucalyptus tree. It's actually looks like that. It's crazy.

[00:16:50]I'm in Hallea here and it's definitely like surfer haven. And uh I'm going to go get some seafood grub. So there's a bunch of junk for sale over there as well. And then there's I'm going to eat at one of these spots. The grub looks miraculous.

[00:17:09]Okay, guys. What's the grub? Ooh, ai ai tuna steak. I think it's like macaroni salad, rice, ai tuna, and then uh kimchi. Then I'm also getting these um fried uh shrimp. Okay, guys. Ai ai steak.

[00:17:29]Hot. Very fishy. I don't think you're supposed to eat kimchi like this, but I'm just going to do macaroni salad. I'm a little sus of.

[00:17:40]Yeah, I'm good, guys. I also got some some little shrimp things.

[00:17:48]I'm a professional blogger.

[00:17:52]Take this surround. Oo, hot.

[00:17:57]There's a sauce. Looks like some kind of sweet chili thing. Oh, yeah. That's sweet chili.

[00:18:05]Hot. The lettuce is also inspired. kind of gives it like a little refreshing vibe and that pairs very well with the the uh sauce that that sounds valid, right? With a tasty lunch complete, I now wandered around Halea towards its marina area. So, this is Halea. There's a big beach over there and this is their marina type place.

[00:18:30]Guys, this is so romantic.

[00:18:33]Isn't it gorgeous, bro? Someone's about to do a raid with a battering ram over here. This is crazy.

[00:18:40]Build this puppy up. Let's get in. The cats, chickens, and monguses were all coexisting peacefully as I enjoyed this spot.

[00:18:48]>> Yeah, this is amazing. The little gays.

[00:18:52]They got some big old crabs on the rocks down there. Now, our next stop was the Doe Plantation. We were now in the center of Aahu after having gone around the entire eastern coast of the island over the past hours. So, I'm at the Dole plantation. Definitely like a little bit of a legacy dipped in blood. You know what I'm saying? But I got some pineapple. Definitely wasn't frequenting the gift shop for my Dole goods, though.

[00:19:17]Curious to see if this pineapple is really that much better. Let's find out.

[00:19:23]As you can see, guys, I've got a bowl of pineapple here.

[00:19:28]Okay.

[00:19:30]Who does this? Ooh, that's freaking the camera out. Holy [ __ ] Okay. Don't I'm not doing that. Oh my god. Okay. Okay.

[00:19:38]Okay. Everyone calm down. Let's select a suitable candidate. Cheers.

[00:19:47]That's good. Pineapple. I fear that's really good. I'm actually somewhat of a pineapple hater cuz usually just makes my mouth hurt. It's kind of funny. It's a fun process. Got all this and wait two years. I always love these things. New York.

[00:20:07]Wake up in Paris. Go to sleep in Tokyo.

[00:20:11]Fall have a dream in Wahoo. Look at all these different pineapples at different stages of growth. I'm not sure what kind of fruit these are, but these are something. I don't know. Like just bizarre bananas. There are kitty cats.

[00:20:29]Hey. Hello.

[00:20:32]Nope. There's a dog behind me. Kitty kid's kind of freaked out. Kind of looks like a gruff old man.

[00:20:42]You see what I mean, guys? I feel like, you know, I love maps. So, I purchased this Oahu elevation map that will be delivered to my residents, my do missile. Now, we're heading back into Honolulu to wrap up the tour. Just finished my tour. Now I'm going back to my hotel. All these coconuts have been removed because of the coconut trees so they don't fall on people. It's pretty funny, guys. I I got these chocolatecovered pineapples paired with my uh protein shake. This will be my post-workout.

[00:21:19]Uh I don't know why I'm filming this.

[00:21:23]Okay. I kind of just wanted to have a little yin to the yang of the chocolatecovered pineapple cuz I'm a little curious what these are like.

[00:21:31]Okay, so they just come in chunk. Oh, they're like balls. You just get a ball.

[00:21:40]Oh my god, it's so much chocolate. What the hell? Like pineapple in it. That's some [ __ ] Yeah, don't recommend. Sorry. I can't lie. Tasty though, but it would also be fumbling a chocolate. How do you do that?

[00:21:57]>> The next day, I was going to be snorkeling out in the water off of Wy Ki, but I'm going to be making a separate vlog with all of the snorkeling in the different locations I went. So, stay tuned for that coming soon.

[00:22:08]Just went snorkeling. And guys, I'm going to be honest, my legs are chafing cuz I was flippering. It is what it is, man. Saw a bunch of green parrot-like birds go up into this tree, but do not see them now.

[00:22:24]I just see a trash bag. Oh, there they go.

[00:22:30]After the snorkel session, I was off to do a walk to Monoa Falls. I got a ride up to the trail head and talked with my Uber driver a bit about some hikes he has done on Aahu. I told him my plans to likely climb Mount Olympus, aka Aawaoa, and there will be a vlog of that massive hike as well.

[00:22:47]But yeah, I'm at Moana Falls now. It's like a rainforest jungle back here. And uh the guy was talking about an abandoned zoo, so I'm definitely going to try to peek that.

[00:23:00]It's very Jurassic Park. This thing's kind of crazy. Little frisky. So this is the abandoned zoo.

[00:23:11]All they got now are chickens. There's some sort of greenhouse back there. Some kind of thing. Bro, this is so Jurassic Park. Look at this.

[00:23:22]Just kind of like a decayed building.

[00:23:25]And then some remnants of stuff. Oh, I saw a little kitty cat. Oh my god, bro.

[00:23:31]Chill. That's the ruined uh zoo. Wonder what they had there. Jurassic World.

[00:23:39]Now all we got left are these these bozos. Man, well that is some Jurassic Park [ __ ] >> It was wild how just a few miles from Palm Tree Beaches was this primordial feeling jungle. It was quite the shift.

[00:23:53]>> So this is the road up there to Manoa Falls. It's all paved at the start. I suppose I think it gets muddy later.

[00:24:02]This is beautiful. What is this absolute specimen?

[00:24:08]A I alo cartis grandest blue marble from Australia pogers. So on the way up to Monoa Falls.

[00:24:17]This is truly Jurassic Park vibes. Man, I love these big fern leafy fern things and enormous trees with vines on them.

[00:24:28]It's crazy.

[00:24:30]They have this cool freaking uh shipping container thing that you got to go through as a tunnel.

[00:24:38]It honestly reminds me a little bit of redwoods. Seoas. It's not nearly as tall, but you feel a bit dwarfed in the same way. Oh, look at the size of these enormous ferns. Apparently, they did at the macadamia nut farm I went to yesterday. They filmed the scene in Jurassic Park where the uh they're hiding next to the log and everything's jumping over them.

[00:25:04]You can hear the waterfall, the roar. I feel like during a major rainstorm, this would be flash flooded as hell. This feels like a creek bed. Look at the roots of this tree. They're like brains.

[00:25:17]Little slithering worms. Bro lost the will to go on.

[00:25:23]So, oh, the birds are calling.

[00:25:27]The bamboo forest is taking over all of this. It's crazy. So, that's Manoa Falls.

[00:25:34]Little split in the mountain coming down.

[00:25:38]I'm all the way zoomed in. This ain't it, guys. This ain't it. There's all these leafy greens surrounding me. I don't totally know what they are, but look, they're just reaching out, grasping for their photosynthesis.

[00:25:54]Gotta love it.

[00:25:58]There's like head bob in this every time I take a step.

[00:26:04]Pathogens in the water apparently.

[00:26:06]Convenient excuse.

[00:26:10]It does have It is giving forbidden pool. Look at those rich greens.

[00:26:14]Everything is just so green, even my money. This is so cool. It's just a wall of moss. It's awesome. Just like pure moss texture all the way up. It's interesting. We're uh not to go on too many tangents, but it is just like a microclimate in here. It's much much cooler than even, you know, 10, 15 minutes towards the coast because like that island, the way the mountains and stuff will loom over things and create these little pockets of climate. It's just cool, guys. I fear my boomer. My favorite boomer activity is being knowledgeable about the weather. It's like tapestry overhead. This is so cool.

[00:26:57]Very chaotic, very jumbled.

[00:27:05]Bro, that's a that's just a gorgeous sight. Look at this vine, too. And the shipping container we must go through to escape.

[00:27:14]Hey, what's up, guys? It's Wellan here in the container. Hit that like button, comment, share, and subscribe. Thank you, >> guys. It only took the length of being in the container for me to do the shout out. That's real professional stuff.

[00:27:28]Look at that puppy, bro. Who the hell is that, guys? It's a little muddy. Oh my god. I My my foot is drenched.

[00:27:44]How come they only have like obliterate setting?

[00:27:48]Great job, every great great job everybody.

[00:27:56]A tree full of goddamn chickens. Nope.

[00:27:59]Guys, look at the hole in the fence.

[00:28:02]Something got out.

[00:28:03]>> I took the rest of the day easy after the hike and the next day observed a commotion in the morning.

[00:28:08]>> Guys, there's a fire just near my hotel. You can see the smoke of it coming out. That is wild.

[00:28:17]You can see the door. They had to break in. It's all singed and warped. Yeah, they're they're going in. They're like full gas mask and everything. I was now off to tour Ayolani Palace. The palace was built in the late 1800s as a modern royal residence for the king and queen.

[00:28:33]It combined both Hawaiian heritage and western influences. Correction, guys, it is pronounced Eolani Palace. I asked a front desk lady. And it's the only palace in the United States.

[00:28:46]Interestingly enough, the White House is not a palace. Contrary to what some the indication and you can see the palace building.

[00:28:57]It's pretty much in the heart of downtown Honolulu. It's got a you know skyscraper type buildings over here.

[00:29:04]Guys, look at this absolute specimen of a tree. An complete chungus.

[00:29:10]And then I I believe I don't remember if this is true, but I think the Hawaiian stat the Hawaiian flag is the only one with another country's flag in it. They gave us shoe covers for the museum.

[00:29:20]About to head in, I think.

[00:29:21]>> I toured the palace, but didn't record inside due to some rules. It was quite impressive with bedrooms featuring rare animal rugs and a stately ballroom. So, the queen was imprisoned here and quilted in the room she was imprisoned in for 8 months. Wrote songs as well.

[00:29:36]Statue of Kamehameha.

[00:29:39]>> Now, meandering around downtown Honolulu, I explored the city and was then going to go to the gym.

[00:29:44]>> This is quite cool. all this greenery in these open spaces. This is really quiet for a Saturday, though. But I guess during the week that people would be having lunch, coffee, and stuff, but it's just interesting. It's a little abandoned and dingy and rundown. But hey, uh that's valid. This is the Aloha Tower, as you can see up there.

[00:30:08]Apparently, it was the tallest building in Honolulu at one point. I love this house. And then all these skyscrapers around. It goes hard. Guys, one thing that's interesting is there's no uh helmet requirements. So, you see all these people with no helmets on mopeds zooming around. It's pretty funny.

[00:30:25]Definitely like very Hawaii filled.

[00:30:28]You can bust your head open, though.

[00:30:30]Guys, the gym I'm in is in an old bank building. save this medicine balls on this. So, it's got this huge bank vault thing, which is pretty crazy. The next day, I did some scuba diving. That'll be in the snorkel and diving vlog. And unknowingly, I went to the official Seahawks bar of Honolulu, where the Seahawks are playing the Rams.

[00:30:59]After watching the Seahawks and making some friends at the bar, I walked around the park outside. It's a very pretty park. The marina, all these boats, and then that's Diamond Head off in the distance.

[00:31:14]Bro, you could just be posted up in paradise out here. Meloning in paradise.

[00:31:20]I can get why people are like, "Hey, I should move here."

[00:31:24]What is this confounded creature?

[00:31:28]This is a real dinosaur. There's more of them, bro. They're like vevelisaptors.

[00:31:32]Oh my god, Rose getting in my way. I think this must be a female and these are males maybe. I don't know. They're crazy looking though. They're like the ibises in Australia a little bit, but they call them bin chickens over there. It's quite sad.

[00:31:50]Well, they're Oh, [ __ ] The next day, I was going to see Pearl Harbor, the naval base where the infamous surprise attack by the Japanese occurred on December 7th, 1941, bringing the US into World War II.

[00:32:02]>> It was Japan needing resources that made it desirable for them to attack.

[00:32:12]>> This floor looks like continents and geography.

[00:32:17]Looks like a fantasy world map, you know, like islands. A whole like archipelago. That's a great word.

[00:32:24]They've got like a VR thing going on.

[00:32:28]That goes kind of crazy. The USS Bow Fin or Balfin, I'm not sure, but it's kind of crazy looking. A submarine. After walking about, reading and reflecting on the events, I boarded a boat to the USS Arizona Memorial, a battleship that detonated and sank still with many of her sailors inside. Oil still leaks from the hull with more than 2 L going into the harbor every day, which was surreal to see bubbling up.

[00:32:53]>> There's 300,000 gallons of oil down there apparently. Still see it in the water there. There's 900 men still in tuned with insider.

[00:33:02]So, it just exploded when it was hit.

[00:33:05]went through five floors and 5 in of steel. This is inside it. And the other ships on battleship row, the Nevada and the Utah I think also sank. And the buoy at the front up there is the front of the ship. And this is the edge of the ship. I believe it's like a coral reef.

[00:33:23]Now you can see the oil comes up in spurts like that.

[00:33:45]That's crazy.

[00:33:51]>> I next walked down the shore to have lunch at a spot the bartender at my hotel recommended.

[00:33:57]>> Oh, God, guys.

[00:34:01]Anyway, uh down by the water, he said the views are great. He said to get a Bloody Mary, and I have no desire to get a Bloody Mary, so I'm probably just going to get a Mai or something. Wait, it's like actually a thing to get. Bro, the the issue is I I really don't like Bloody Marys. I am having a M Thai guys up at the Harbor 604 steak. Got the crispy shrimp. M guys, I got butterfish. me so busted butterfish looks banging.

[00:34:38]What's up everybody? Out in my backyard taking it all in. The rust boat update be like come aboard brother. We're prim locked.

[00:34:54]This tree goes crazy. I'm about to go to the military museum.

[00:34:58]>> Returning to Honolulu, I continued my day of military history at the Hawaii Army Museum in an old artillery battery.

[00:35:05]>> So, it was not a jail, even though it's got kind of a jail vibe. It was a open coast artillery battery. This is a model of what the battery looked like. So, these are disappearing cannons. I guess they just you wouldn't see them from the water is the point.

[00:35:24]>> 1 to 10. a model.

[00:35:27]>> The museum showed the history of both Hawaiian warriors and modern military technology and weapons.

[00:35:32]>> What is this? This the shark tooth club?

[00:35:35]That goes crazy. The Oh, they're just different versions. That's a real bunk and utensil.

[00:35:44]>> Bro, these are cruel weapons, man. You have some weapons. I want to aim on a rocket. I'm not sure. 12 gauge shotgun with a bayonet.

[00:35:54]Machine guns. Then a Thompson with that drum magazine and then the sniper rifle scope frag Japanese weapons of course samurai sword katana bayonet look at these submachine gun a porcelain hand grenade stick hand grenade I don't know how the porcelain would work that's crazy rifles army of officers through his sword and scabbard. Spanish American War uniform.

[00:36:30]What happened to the drip man?

[00:36:32]>> There were some historically recreated rooms and vehicles to see at the museum.

[00:36:36]>> There are two shell rooms in Battery Randolph. One to serve each gun and this was one of them. They line them up like this. Bro, these are uh bro is almost as tall as me. Yep. There. They'd be stacked up. So they tried to destroy the building in 1970, but the fact that it was steel with the concrete, I guess, just made it like destroying that is a nightmare. So he gave up.

[00:37:11]That's so cool. Japanese light tank operated by a crew of three protected by only 12 in of armor, a glass cannon if you will. We got the US light tank M24 scouting and reconnaissance in the late days of World War II. Two Cadillac V8s.

[00:37:32][ __ ] Up to 35 mph. They got the They got the helicopter on the roof. Wow.

[00:37:40]A Cobra attack helicopter.

[00:37:44]First US Army helicopter designed to perform attack missions.

[00:37:49]First flew 1965.

[00:37:51]It's an amazing museum.

[00:37:53]>> Thank you.

[00:37:53]>> Yeah.

[00:37:55]Wow.

[00:37:59]You come down here. Oh yeah. Over there is the museum. But look at this.

[00:38:06]Look at this. you were in here bomb dropping on the roof, you'd probably be absolutely fine. They need some garage doors in here.

[00:38:14]>> And with Pearl Harbor earlier, this museum definitely gave me time to reflect. This was my trip to Aahu, and I really enjoyed it. Coming soon is a vlog of all the diving and snorkeling I did, and also my big hike up Auaoa. Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe, and follow me on my Instagram to see more.

[00:38:31]I'll see you in the next video.

[00:38:35]Wishing a lifeline got the right kind of bubbly on a skyline. Wake up in the morning. Take a look.

[00:38:47]Ain't no time to be stressed. This my vibe on my grind. Feeling fine and I'm blessed.
