Welcome back! We're preparing ourselves for the NFL Byes that begin this week with the Browns, Buccaneers, Chargers and Seahawks taking this Sunday off. We preview the biggest game of Week 5 with the Dallas Cowboys (3-1) traveling to face the 49ers (4-0) in San Fransisco, in a battle of two of the NFC's top teams. The Cowboys' defense will have their hands full trying to bottle CMC but we're thinking it's ultimately up to Micah Parsons and the Dallas D to decide the game. We also talk through Rodney Harrison being a weirdo mining an interview for hate comments, how the Giants have fallen off from being a playoff team last year to our go-to Taco Bell orders and October 9 being Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Welcome back! We made it: September has arrived, and Football Season is about to start! We begin this episode by figuring out what Travis Kelce fantasy mangers should do after the Chiefs' All-Pro TE suffered a hyperextended knee in practice Tuesday, putting his Week 1 availability in doubt. After talking through other football news, including Raiders Chandler Jones being locked out of the facility, we pivot to Deion Sanders leading the Colorado Buffalos into Fort Worth to defeat the TCU Horned Frogs, and whether we "believe" yet or not. We get to some fantasy football before starting to discuss Oprah and The Rock's recent post about the newly established People's Fund of Maui that will reportedly provide money directly to local families affected by the wildfires, and whether we think the backlash is justified or not. Forest also recounts the day of the 2009 American Samoa tsunami and the destruction it left across the island. We wrap with our shoutouts. Follow us on our socials on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads and YouTube at @ballinesian. Recorded 9/5/2023, Zoom. Sponsored by www.levasaislandapparel.com.

Welcome back! (1:24) We talk story with Forest as he recounts his recent trip home to Oahu to celebrate our brother's wedding, describes the food he had while there and makes plans to film food content to show people how to make certain island comfort foods at home. (49:40) At Climate Pledge Arena, Mike caught Drake's "It Was All A Blur" tour and recommends you do too. Listen for what he saw, from the banger setlist to open the show to 21 Savage being rushed by a fan to what song finished the night. (1:06:20) We talk through how some recent fantasy football drafts have fallen for us, including which picks we'll be building our teams around and which we're trying to trade away. Dang, we totally didn't talk about Trey Lance being traded to the Cowboys but that happened this week. (1:17:18) We each predict season W-L records for the Raiders, Chargers and Seahawks. (1:28:45) Also, do you talk shit when you're playing sports?, Trump gets indicted again, and new music including John Akapo's catalog, Selena Gomez's latest hit and Sefa M's newest project "It Takes A Village". (1:44:44) We close with our shoutouts to the Mariners, Katie Fiso at the World U18 3v3, John Akapo, Forest's mom and sister, Maninoa, Junior Luvu and fam, newlyweds Talanoa and Wynona Smith, the people of Hawaii, Hawaiian Airlines and the TSA. Recorded 8/28/23, Zoom. Sponsored by www.levasaislandapparel.com.

Welcome back! We're recapping Mike's fantasy draft destination golf trip and all the draft nuggets he learned while auctioning a monster RB room, as well as playing golf for the first time by sending full 18-hole rounds on back-to-back days and seeing a hole-in-one. We talk through what fantasy bonuses and crazy league rules we've played with. While evaluating each of Mike's players, we dive into draft projections and how to be strategic when drafting, like saving your Auction dollars for later to be able to easily outbid cash-strapped managers. Tons of good draft prep material from multiple teams and past draft experiences as we info-dump as much as we can on you in the lead up to what many fantasy players use as Draft Week. I go on a little Commissioner duty tirade before we start to wrap up the episode with some air travel tips that could give you a little extra leg room... or a whole new wardrobe. We close with our shoutouts to the Get Money Truck Bitches fantasy football league, Dirty Pedro, Amber, Mike's pilot, Forest Duldulao, Nora & Sami, Beyonce & Taylor & Greta/Margot, Le Vasa Island Apparel, Mack & Mena Moli and Last Saturday.
