For Samoan Language Week 2026, we flipped the script. 

Instead of interviewing someone else, we handed the mic over to a special guest interviewer who put us in the hot seat and asked us the questions many NZ-born Samoans wrestle with throughout their lives. 

In this honest, funny, and sometimes challenging conversation, we share stories from our childhoods, church life, family gatherings, language struggles, cultural expectations, parenting, and the realities of navigating life between two worlds. 

Whether you're fluent in Samoan, still learning, or simply trying to find your place within your culture, this episode is for you. 

Happy Samoan Language Week!

Deep in our dad era, the Labkids finally crack onto 2026 with wild takes, misinformed opinions and light hearted personal attacks disguised as banter!

A lot has happened since the last full episode dropped. Tune in to see what we've been up to!

We sit down with Elias and talk about what its like to grow up in Whangamata, what more important between a thumb and a big toe as well as potential wedding tracks!

We kick things off talking wellbeing. The wins, the struggles, and how we try to keep life in balance. Then, the serious business begins: toastie fillings. Spaghetti and Cheese is the goat, yes, but ever tried cheese & jam? We share our favourite combos you didn’t know you needed.We also take some potshots at the latest Jurassic Park film and a quick look at Samoa's favourite actions stars.Of course, it wouldn’t be us without a few rants and stories, including moments of road rage and times our bosses yelled at us.What you waiting for?
