Above the bridge

Join us as the illustrious Augie T takes us on a journey from laughter-filled stages to the heart of community action. Whether he's rallying neighborhoods in Ewa and Waipahu or tickling our funny bones, Augie's dual passions for comedy and civic responsibility shine through. Our discussion paints a vivid picture of the transformative power of community engagement, the triumphs of local advocacy, and the importance of education in understanding the roles of various government levels in our lives.
In this episode, we lace up our boots for a deep dive into the world of community clean-ups and the ripple effect of pride on the places we call home. Augie's stories of grassroots movements and the mobilization of volunteers resonate with the values of care and responsibility instilled early on in my own life. We reveal the nuts and bolts of cultivating vibrant neighborhoods through continuous, small acts and highlight how these efforts can reflect the broader issue of government support and infrastructure maintenance.
As the curtain falls on our chat, Augie T brings us back to the laughter, sharing the wisdom gained from a 35-year tenure in the world of comedy. We explore the evolution of humor, the impact of cultural roots on comedic material, and the unique connection formed with audiences through the art of comedy. So, buckle up for a ride through the laughter, leadership, and the lasting impact of community service, with a side of pidgin language and a peek at a one-of-a-kind Japanese truck.
