  • Episode 72: It's A Big Deal

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! 

    The Pod Boys are out here tipping when they can but they see ya'll trying to put the highest option first on the POS.

    Marcus was judged after hitting "skip" on the tip option thing at one of the restaurants he picked his food up from.

    Sefa and his girlfriend were sleepless in Seattle for their little getaway this past weekend. 

    The Pod Boys then get into the Spencer Leniu thing that set Poly Twitter on fire when he used a racial slur at opposing NRL opposing team member Ezra Mam during the Rugby 7's in Las Vegas.

    The takes coming out of that were amazing.

    Sefa takes Oprah to task for hogging all the Ozempic that's supposed to be for diabetics. And for stepping down from the Weight Watchers Board.


    Enjoy the show!

  • Way Back Whensday | Ch. 17 - Nickelodeon

    The Polytickin Network presents

    Way Back Whensday | Ch. 17 - Nickelodeon

    SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Rugrats, all certified classics and all from a television channel made specifically for kids: Nickelodeon. We give a history of how it started as a commercial-free cable package add-on and needed a messy rebrand (SPLAT!) to jumpstart its build into a household mainstay that simulcasted the last Super Bowl. We talked all the classics above plus Hey Arnold! and All That, digitizing VHS tapes, gave an explanation of the premise of Avatar, tell you which one of Drake & Josh is a creep, and then listed off a bunch of shows that you're sure to remember. Let Sefa know if you want him to send you that video he's talking about.

    Way Back Whensday is a nostalgic conversation podcast hosted by two California-bred Samoans that reminisces about all the things you remember. Sefa M and Lance Faletogo head down memory lane to give their stories and facts on everything from The Lion King soundtrack selling almost 5M copies in 1994 to how to best apply The Sharpshooter submission. You'll say "Oh yup, I remember that" or be screaming the answers to things we forget lol. New episodes every other Friday on The Polytickin Network. #WBW

    Oh, Animorphs! Remember those books that you could flip the pages and the character in the corner would go from kid to animal?

    The 'Kit heads to Samoa, to the back of a plantation to ask Saili why his parents are buried there, before being thrown into a chain of events we feel is both bizarre and possibly normal for Samoan culture and society.

We'll introduce you to the characters, break down each scene and give our final scores for
