Back in May 2017, I wrote a blog post about 3 Hawaii talk radio hosts who call themselves The Wake Up Crew, who constantly make mean-spirited jokes about ethnic groups as well as people facing various difficulties in their life.

This past weekend, at a charity event, when local singer Paula Fuga shared her experiences growing up homeless, the Wake Up Crew made fun of her to the point where she broke down & cried. They continued laughing when making their obviously insincere apology!

For too long, the people of Hawaii have been too silent about these Wake Up Crew jerks because they're afraid of being accused of "not being able to take a joke"!
I say that 98.5 should fire the Wake Up Crew!
To the island musicians whose music gets played on 98.5, if you own the copyright to your songs, you can notify the station with a "cease & desist" notice telling them to refrain from playing your songs on their station until they fire the Wake Up Crew!
And the business who advertise on 98.5 should withdraw all ads until they fire the Wake Up Crew!
These idiots will not change until they face that severity of consequence. They laugh at anyone who believes their phony apologies & will continue to act that way until their bank account gets drained!
To anyone who responds by saying "free speech" and "cancel culture", if I acted the same way these Wake Up Crew jerks act at any job I ever had, I would've been fired!
"Free speech" only means you can't be jailed for expressing your opinions. "Free speech" doesn't mean you're entitled to a job!
I signed the petition to fire the Wake Up Crew at

And here's my YouTube speech on this issue

"Fire the Wake Up Crew"
PS:
By the way Island 98.5 have been limiting comments allowed to their Instagram page, a link to their facebook page is no longer working, and the Wake Up Crew's social media pages are deactivated! So they're the ones acting sensitive when people rise up against their bullying behavior!
