Welcome back! This week we welcome musical artist, battle rapper and Executive Producer of Last Saturday with Mack and the Late Night Show on Instagram Live, Mack Moli, to join the dias, as we discuss the horrific Maui Fires and inspiring community response, as well as the latest we've heard on what's needed for donations. We pivot to football season and get to talk Niners with a life-long 49ers fan, as we look over a stacked roster put together by GM John Lynch, and we ask Mack if thinks the Niners are in "Super Bowl or Bust" territory, while also getting Mike's take on facing San Fransisco twice (sometimes three times) each season as a Seahawks fan. Forest lets us know that the Raiders just beat the 49ers in their opening preseason game BY A LOT. After a roundtable on Fantasy Football Draft Strategy, we talk about Last Saturday with Mack, a new platform for Bay Area artists that streams live at @mack.moli on Instagram on the last Saturday night of each month. Mack lets us know what artists have been announced for E02, which is scheduled to start at 7PM PST on Saturday, August 26 with a tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop. Make sure to follow @mack.moli so you don't miss when the show kicks off! We end this episode with our shoutouts to Mena Moli, the Last Saturday crew, Jessica, Virgill, OFF80 Media, Mike's Lealofi/Pogaiomalo family reunion, former Seahawk Alex Collins (RIP), gym compliments, our panel, our guest, Nackie Moli, Willis Carrier for inventing the air conditioning unit, and Noke and Hi'ilei Tago for their efforts to organize relief for those displaced in Maui.

Welcome back! We met up at The PolyFest in Auburn, WA and had a good time, we'll tell you all about it from the musical performances to all the varieties of food to the dope vendors and organizations. We also breakdown the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl, from the drunken beginnings of parking your pontoon boat in a reserved docking space to an appearance by Black Aquaman/Michael B Phelps to the viral cameo of a plastic folding chair being used as a WWE-style weapon. What did the Hat Throw signify to you? With Fantasy Football and the NFL on the precipice of a new season, we talk through some questions we have about evaluation and drafting, as well as some random position battle updates from training camp. We gather somberly towards the end to realize that the Pac-12, last expanded in 2011 with the additions of Utah and Colorado, will most likely become extinct with eight schools agreeing to transfer to the Big Ten or Big 12. As of now, Stanford, Cal, Oregon State and Washington State are the lone remaining members. Rest in peace to the Conference of Champions. And we end with our shoutouts to Ata Mai 360, Toa I Matu Tribe, @thehive_360, Lionel Siva/@sivamedia_, Jesse and Victoria Koria of Emerald Dynasty ENT, everyone who came out to The PolyFest, the Samoa family, our panel, Chris Paul, all the Ballers out there and our listeners.
