Wolfgang your typical stereotype in Hawaii. Acted out by Frank D. Whether it’s true or not could be debated. The Japanese, Filipinos, or Portuguese making up most of them. Most people from Hawaii would get this type of humor. Dude, I say I'm not familiar with "Podagee" and you give me a video about Japanese stereotype in Hawaii? LOL! I'm familiar with the various cultural stereotypes in Hawaii. I just wasn't sure what "Podagee" meant other than pidgin "Portuguese." I've never known a derogatory meaning associated with "Podagee."

Norene's take over was pretty hilarious. Norene can do whatever she wants, IMHO. BTW, please have your sister visit Hawai'i and meet all the players. Maybe she'll want to change her mind. I'm pretty sure Norene's sister has visited Hawaii many times to watch Norene play and on family vacations. I'm also pretty sure Norene has talked to her sister about the pros and cons of playing at Hawaii, which we can all imagine what they are. Also, Texas has a lot of money and the facilities are top-notch. And, in many cases, family members want to forge their own path, which was the case with my family where my siblings and I attended different schools -- and as far away from each other as possible. LOL!

Most siblings don't want to be the second act on the same stage, preferring to reap the benefits or razzes doing their own thing.

I know what you meant but threw this video in for laughs because FD likes to make fun of all ethnic groups in Hawaii. Like BIK said, Podagee is a term used for a stupid person. 😂

I know Ross’s sister Kyla performs on very big stage and very athletic and talented gymnast. I think in this case more admiration and motivation. Her biggest role model. 🤙

I used to think Podagee was a Hawaii thing until I saw Mystic Pizza with a very young Julia Roberts in the early 80s. That word was used as a put down towards Portuguese, so I guess is it has been widely used outside of Hawaii for a very long time. It was weird hearing it in the movie, though. I should add, growing up in Hawaii, I think it was more a matter of local pronunciation, like "Japanee."

I think Norene's older sister went away on her own also so maybe the Iosia parent want their kids to go out on their own and don't follow their sibling's footstep.

Lang, Kiraly set to join Rainbow Wahine volleyball team in 2020By Cindy Luis“Howdy” and “szia” will be added to next season’s lexicon for the Hawaii women’s volleyball team courtesy of two incoming freshmen. The program announced the signings of Kate Lang, a 5-foot-10 setter from Keller, Texas, and Anna Kiraly, a 6-3 middle from Hungary, on Thursday.
“Kate is a smart, athletic setter who understands what it takes to run a high-level offense,” said Rainbow Wahine coach Robyn Ah Mow, a former collegiate All-American and three-time Olympic setter. “Her volleyball IQ, competitive demeanor and experience will be instantly evident and infectious the moment she steps foot on the court.
“Anna is a long 6-3 middle who is extremely agile and puts up an imposing block. She will come to Manoa with a lot of international experience and add depth and competition to our middle blocker position immediately.”
Kiraly will give Hawaii six middles next year as she joins current junior Sky Williams, sophomore Kamalei Krug and freshmen Amber Igiede, Tiffany Westerberg and Braelyn Akana. Lang currently is the only setter on the 2020 roster.
Kiraly was named her Godolloi Roplabda Club’s player of the year in 2018 and the “best player of the tournament” in this year’s U19 Hungarian Championships. She has played with the Hungarian youth national team and recently was selected to the senior team roster.
Lang was Keller High’s MVP last season and has twice been named the league Setter of the Year. Ranked No. 59 on the national Senior Aces list, she also helped her Texas Advantage Volleyball to two national club titles.
“I think Kate’s choice of schools is a perfect fit for her,” Keller coach Lauren Otto Rao, a former hitter at TCU, said in an email. “Kate has great natural hand contact and has the best ability to back-set of any setter I have seen before, among all of her talents.
“Being coached by a three-time Olympic setter is going to be an amazing opportunity that will allow her to progress and be one of the best setters at the collegiate level. Not only is she an elite setter, she also had great leadership on the court for us. Kate is going to be an extremely difficult player to replace next year.”
