MIKEY MONIS

While most millennials are taking selfies on their favorite social media app, Kainalu Moya is busy saving the world as the blue Power Ranger in Nickelodeon’s new hit show, Power Rangers Dino Fury.

WEEKEND OF: JANUARY 22

Whether you are attending a popular concert or heading to Hawaii's top attraction or enjoying some beautiful Hawaiian music, there is always something to do at the end of the week. Mikey Monis breaks down the trendiest events, every Friday, when What’s Up Weekend airs on Living808.

Mikey Monis gives an in-depth look at his workouts and diet plans as he gets ready for his fourth fitness competition, with the help of Flexx Fitness Hawaii.

Fitness trainer Chris Faildo is teaching Mikey his knowledge about competition training throughout his 30 years of experience in the fitness industry.

"I have been training clients for you years, teaching them all sorts of fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle. Whether it be from Nutrition to exercises, my clients will learn them all," says Chris Faildo, Trainer and co-owner of Flexx Fitness Hawaii.

Even though Mikey has competed before and learned various workouts throughout the years, Faildo believes he can take Mikey to the next fitness level.

Faildo says, "With Mikey, we really need to focus on his lower half, most people think that when you compete in a men's physique competition, legs don't count. But in order for him to live and stay in a healthy lifestyle, we need to workout every single muscle group, and not just the ones you see on stage."

Though working out and learning the proper forms in the gym, nutrition is a huge part of the training, something Faildo wanted to get a jump start on to help build muscle mass.

"We are starting early, holiday season to be exact. It's important for him to learn about the various proteins and carb intake in order for him to get bigger. Once we get the size we like, then we can start shredding him down more," says Faildo.

Faildo is currently taking clients with a variety of fitness goals based out of Flexx Fitness Hawaii.

One of the more interesting cultural phenomenons to come about in recent years is the idea that a person can be ‘canceled.’ Back in March, Tori Perrotti came onto Living808 to explain her unfortunate cyber bullying experience. Today, she shares with Mikey about how she plans on using her voice to help encourage those to stay positive, while dealing with disgruntled customers within the service industry.

The idea of canceled culture can be applied to anyone, blocking them from getting a job, or getting fired from their job for doing or saying something offensive. Most cyber attacks usually occur on social media.

“It’s this weird phenomenon where if someone is upset or frustrated by something, they want this person or company to become ‘canceled.’ They want to make them no longer relevant to society and kind of ruin them,” says Perrotti.

Tori Perrotti, a manager at a Target store in Swansea, Massachusetts, defended Andy, a manager at a Kroger store in Louisville, Kentucky on twitter.

“He went through a similar situation, where a guest was really frustrated with him and with the way he handled his situation. They took a picture of his face, shaming him and tagging his company in the tweet, with the goal of taking away his job and his livelihood.”

The internet rallied behind Perrotti with assisting her in creating a GoFundMe account to send Andy on vacation. The fundraiser is titled “Kroger Andy.”

“This guy definitely practices the idea of #PauseBeKind . We couldn’t have picked a better person to ‘uncancel.’” she wrote on her Twitter account. The GoFundMe page “Kroger Andy” has since raised $20,000 as of Monday, August 10.
