The Polytickin' Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys are in attendance, man.

Thanksgiving was yesterday in America, so Lance and Marcus are a little full, but they're not quitters you know they're going for seconds and thirds.

Sef and Lance saw Moana 2, and Marcus didn't, so he's behind as usual.

Sef had a gripe about the music and them involving Lin Manuel-Miranda, who turns out wasn't involved.

The Network Boys discuss Drake and his impending suits against Universal Music Group and Spotify for artificially inflating the numbers for Kendrick's Not Like Us and for defamation.

Yikes, this dude is not of the culture.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the Ballinesian Podcast on The Polytickin Network!

Happy Thanksgiving! All the other podcasts might have left you disappointed and sitting out to dry like some of yalls turkeys, but if some emergency holiday (or get away) entertainment is your wish while you're making the drive up to Grandma's house with a van full of family, are already in the kitchen making food, or even just waiting for that Giants-Cowboys game to be over, we got you.

Lance Faletogo and Coach Forest Duldulao give you "Sports Things We're Thankful For" before recapping the Los Angeles Chargers and Coach Jim Harbaugh getting punked by their Big Bro Ravens on Monday Night Football. We'll also get DOUBLE QB INJURY NEWS for the Las Vegas Raiders, as well as a look at their last six games and how likely they are to have a Top 3 draft pick next year.

We'll then knock out our Quick Hits, including if the Niners should be "embarrassed" by their performance last week vs the Packers, whether Saquon Barkley should be MVP ahead of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, and what's going on with the Houston Texans and QB CJ Stroud who have been BUGGING recently.

And before our closing Shout Outs this episode, we'll talk Moana 2 and some initial takeaways from our first watch in theaters. Enjoy!

And have a happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget to invite grandma on the walk this year.

Aye!

So Kendrick's album just dropped.

We figured we'd get into it.

It had us hyped.

Let's talk about it.

Also, Sef went to therapy, and Marcus thought he was Captain America.

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Movie Boys are pulling double duty this week as Sefa had to get to work early.

Lance worked two 20-hour shifts back-to-back, and his job is lucky the holidays are upon us.

Marcus is excited over Kendrick Lamar's surprise album GNX and can't wait to listen.

The Movie Boys are exercising patience as the release of Moana 2 draws near. It's time to start singing Samoan songs.

Speaking of movies starring Uncle Dwayne, Red One has dropped to little fanfare other than exaggerated-ass Twitter reviews that swear it's the greatest Christmas movie ever.

The problem is that the returns for this movie on its 250 million dollar budget have not been great.

Also, what are your Top 5 Thanksgiving sides?

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys are all in the building.

Marcus is updating his resume with skills he picked up while on his podcast journey.

Lance had to take a moment and raked leaves on a yard that wasn't his.

Sefa has had people reaching out to him over his recent posts on mental health and seeking help.

The Network Boys then chime in on New Zealand's Parliament and a controversial new proposed bill that would reexamine parts of The Treaty of Waitangi.

When asked about her stance, MP Hanna-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke made hers clear when she started a Haka that reverberated through the House and the internet.

It gave us chills.

Also, would you snitch if you knew the girl you like's boyfriend was cheating on her?

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys have found their stride.

Marcus was overthinking at the gym and he needs to stop it. No one cares.

Sefa had his first counseling session and lets the boys know what it is.

Lance is wary of the post-election hangover America is going through right now after Overlord Donald J. Trump was voted into office again.

After a solid year of divisive political talk, how are we supposed to come together under our new President when he's uh...you know...Donald Trump?

Also, who won Guess The Song between Sefa and Marcus?

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast!

The Network Boys got the juice now.

Marcus is thankful to the farmers for giving us an extra hour as Daylight Savings Time comes to an end.

Sefa has decided to seek counseling after being a champion of it for so long.

The Network Boys then talk the Maoli Benefit Concert in American Samoa that had some people heading to Facebook for the good ol' Facebook rant.

I don't know man $80 sounds like a steal.

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Network Boys are here for a special episode.

Marcus has cast his ballot for the future of America, I guess.

Sefa had gender training at work with a room full of people far removed from where he came from.

The Network Boys work through doubt for your artistry as Marcus has feelings of unworthiness towards speaking certain messages in the music.

Lance joins The Pod Boys as they reflect on 100 episodes of this little thing of theirs.

If only y'all knew about the early days of the pod.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast!

The Pod Boys got a little loud on this one.

Marcus went outside last weekend and lost at Jeopardy.

Sefa is out giving nicknames to the kids at his job but they don't understand it's more of a communal effort.

The Pod Boys then tackle a video from Breaking Waves that had the community talking humility in NZ Samoans with positions of power, maybe?

We're not entirely sure.

It got kind of heated.

Enjoy the show!
