  • Episode 24: Let's Beef!

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys wonder why British actors are better at doing American accents than American actors doing British accents. It has something to do with being exposed to the culture more than we are of theirs. Sefa is tired of being taken on a hood safari whenever he touches down in a city. The boys then discuss online forums and how they shaped their musical tastes. Also, Sefa is a battle rap legend. Marcus then wonders why his good friend Sefa would rather die than ask where the candy aisle is. Guys, it's ok to ask for help. Sefa details how much of a menace he would be on Survivor if he was up for elimination. Survivor brings out the worst in people. What is one thing your parents got on you about that you hated as a kid, but now get on everyone else, or yourself, about? Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 23: We Are Farmers

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys are figuring things out and it's all coming along nicely. The only thing they can't figure out is whether Jamie Lee Curtis deserved to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress over Angela Bassett and Stephanie Hsu. Sefa doesn't understand why the mom from Freaky Friday got an Oscar over T'Challa's mom. They talk about how terrible it is getting sick in your 30's. Sefa was knocking on Heaven's door at one point during his whole ordeal. Marcus then wants to know the origin of Daylight Savings Time because what is even the point of it? The boys are not farmers. The boys then discuss lying on a dead relative's name because Clifford "T.I" Harris said he did that during one of his "podcaster mode" rants. What crime would you pin on your dead relative? Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 22: The Great Tampico Debate

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys get straight to it, discussing the validity, or lack thereof, of Tampico. If you are a fan of it, Sefa would like to know why and to discontinue listening to his portion of the show. They then get into Survivor and the strategies the boys would use to win. Marcus would form alliances and stab everyone in the back, while Sefa would throw people off of his scent by being very middle-of-the-pack-esque. Both would be untrustworthy during the whole thing, though. Things get dark when they start talking about their paranormal experiences in and out of Samoa. Who you gonna call? The Pod Boys then make a special announcement about the future of the podcast. Things are looking bright. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 21: The Streets Been Callin'
    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys didn't come with any topics so they ended up shooting the breeze about nothing. They loved everybody showing off their Top 5 lists and are appreciative of them. Sefa gives his two honorable mentions that he didn't get to delve into the other day. Sefa then gets into the stigma of being called a Poly rapper. The Pod Boys think that the division is dumb. Marcus then asks Sefa the age old question: Would you rather? And the boys give their salutes to American Idol and Ruben Studdard. You should've won bud. Oh and Sefa has his degree. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 20: Who In Yo' Top 5 Though?!
    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys have been workin' workin' and things are looking up for them. They get in to the TikTok of one wavyteine, who felt a certain type of way when she overheard people outside of her culture using Samoan slang at a wedding. Marcus needs to care more but can't bring himself to do it, while Sefa's stance softened after realizing that she might be on to something. The Pod Boys then break out their Top 5 Polynesian Artists of all time, based on their amazing rubric. They thought they'd have the same number one. Turns out they didn't. What do you think of non-Polynesian people using our cultural slang? Who's your top 5 dead or alive? What's your credit score? Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 19: The Process of Grief

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys have made it to Episode 19. Last time it only took them three years to get to this many episodes. Progress. They speak on the controversy surrounding Hogwarts Legacy, and think it's ok to have your gripes, but the gripes over this game might be a bit of a reach. Things get serious as the boys discuss the process of grief, and if there are any major differences between the way other cultures grieve. The conversation takes a turn once Sefa got goin' about the beauty of Samoan culture. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 18: Margaret Mead is a Nerd Who Had to Read the Encyclopedia!

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys are out here poddin' and they're collaborating, my friends. The Washed Boys play host to two special guests, Lance Faletogo and Forest Duldulao, the duo behind THE BALLINESIAN PODCAST. The two delve into their careers, their accolades, and what brought them together to start their show. Lance wonders how we can think like a CEO, not an employee, because none of them want to work a real job. They'd much rather work for themselves. 


    Marcus then asks the boys that dreaded "representation" question again, in light of the trailer for the new movie Red, White, and Brass, directed by Damon Fepulea'i. They discuss what representation means to them, and how seeing anyone of Pacific Islander descent in a movie or TV show gets them hyped up. But once Margaret Mead entered the picture, the boys couldn't help but want to fight her descendants. What does representation mean to you? Were you as hyped as the boys were when they would see other racially ambiguous Samoans in the vicinity? Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 17: Us Vs. Them
    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin’ Podcast! The Washed Boys are poddin’ hard today as they get into the treatment of Pacific Islander women, specifically from other Pacific Islander women. Why do we, and society at large, treat women like they shouldn’t do certain things just because of their gender? Sounds misogynistic to the boys but whatever, women are going to rule the world in a couple of generations, so they’re prepared. They then discuss Memphis and that whole fiasco. It’s hard for the boys to have this conversation without providing ample context, so they end up talking in circles. But these talks need to happen for progress. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 16: How Much To Take A Punch From Steven Adams?

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin' Podcast! The Pod Boys almost missed a week because they were fresh out of topics by the time of recording, but luckily they're always able to cobble something together at the last minute. Shout out to school for teaching them that. They speak on Alec Baldwin getting charged for involuntary manslaughter for the October 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Sefa thinks the charges won't stick and Marcus doesn't care for actors trying to be smart. They then touch on the whole "Shannon Sharpe vs. the Grizzlies" the other day and cannot believe people think that Shannon Sharpe has a chance against Steven Adams. He got that dawg in him. Side note: Marcus got the California tax refund. He is now Stimmy Turner. Enjoy the show!

  • Episode 15: The Real Housewife of Gen Pop
    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin’ Podcast! The Pod Boys reflect on their time during the pandemic, which was already 3 years ago, which is wild to think about because people were really fighting over toilet paper. What a time. They then get into Jen Shah of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and her conviction for committing wire fraud. Sefa hopes for the best while Marcus wants to lock her up and throw away the key. Enjoy the show!
