The Polytickin' Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast! The Network Boys are in the building.Marcus has his first completed set of Daniel Warren Johnson variant covers, and y'all can't tell him nothing.

Sefa had Spring Break Camp all week at his job, and he partook in the skinning of a sacred deer. Kind of.

The boys then talk about Steven Setu and his latest social media series that exposes influencers who are doing small vendors dirty.

The boys are conflicted.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to the 200th episode of the Ballinesian Podcast! We are Samoans talking about Sports. Thanks for tapping in! We're remembering where we were when starting the pod almost five years ago; how we've been able to interview Pacific people who are excelling in their sports and industries, along with changing jobs, addresses and amount of kids since 2021. We'll talk about the importance of Pacific Islander athlete sports cards and what it was like collecting them while growing up in American Samoa. Then we will break down what a Ballinesian is and who our (and our followers') Top Pacific Islander athletes are. Thanks for your support through our first 200 episodes! Love and Light!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to the Ballinesian Podcast! We are Samoans talking about Sports. Today we're speaking with Coach Forest on how coaching works at different levels, what it was like coaching in American Samoa and winning high school championships, and the historic coaches that stand out when thinking about March Madness and the NCAA Basketball Tournament (John Wooden, Coach K, Roy Williams, etc.). Single-elimination tournaments always make for wildly entertaining matchups and finishes and the NCAA Tournament is cemented as one of the biggest and most memorable stages in all of sports.

We'll also discuss Pitt F Roman Siulepa's move from Australia national team and NBL to pursuing an NIL contract in US College Basketball, and how that might open the door to other international athlete's joining US collegiate sports because of the money they could be paid.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome back- THE MAXX CROSBY TRADE HAS BEEN CANCELLED! Get in here, we're talking about what happened and where the Raiders and Crosby go from here. So many domino signings after last Friday's trade and now things might be in limbo for incoming free agents. We'll also go over former Dolphins' QB Tua Tagovailoa's release from Miami and expected signing with the Atlanta Falcons and teaming with fellow lefty Michael Penix who is recovering from a November ACL injury. And we will update the Pacific Islanders who have agreed to new contracts, including four new Samoans in Phoenix, a Tongan and Hawaiian/"Irish" join the Chiefs and a former Heisman winner and veteran presence rejoins the Commanders in DC.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to an hour-long distraction from the newest US War. We are Samoans talking sports, covering the biggest Pacific Islander athlete and sports stories of the week. We talked about former Chargers DL Breiden Fehoko last Twitter post, where he lambasted the league's response to a player's death by suicide as hollow and insincere, saying "they post these mental health awareness posts talking about they care about players “don’t be afraid to reach out”etc. All they care about is what you bring to the table when it’s game day". And we're inclined to mostly agree with him. (You can also check out the latest exclusive episode at patreon.com/thepolytickinpodcast for more on that topic from Lance and OhHelloMarcus.)

In our main topic for today, we're highlighting the four Pacific Islander offensive lineman that could be picked in the 1st round of next month's 2026 NFL Draft and their Combine testing and measurements.We will also update which players got franchised tagged and are getting PAID (short-term) before last Tuesday's deadline and which did not, opening them up to become free agents in a few weeks.

We'll also update the latest on our Book Reading and content plans for that, as well as Coach Forest helping to host a trading card get together for kids.

And tune into our shout outs for big ups to our people and for birthday shout outs!

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

Marcus is excited to head to The Comic Den for the first time, where he'll hopefully get The Dakota Incident signed by Denys Cowan and Morgan Hampton.

The boys get into a screenshot from Threads showing a White republican woman trying to clown on a Samoan woman wearing an ulafala at Trump's State of the Union address.

Funny thing is, the Samoan woman is also a republican.

Nice.

Also, Sefa gives some inside baseball on the music scene and advice for young artists.

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome to the Ballinesian Podcast! We are Samoans talking sports. This week we're taking a stand against AI, Forest explains what it's like watching an NBA game a few rows up from courtside, we lay out the Dolphins' new GM saying "everything is on the table, including a potential trade" when asked about his QB, and we'll go over the best to ever do it at the "Underwear Olympics" and whether those NFL Combine results translated into an NFL career.

Thanks for listening. Submit your questions, hot takes and shout outs at @ballinesian on Instagram and TikTok or email us at [email protected].

Welcome back to the Paytch, y'all. The heads of the network are in the building.

Marcus asks Sef about his progress on his book for artists and creatives, and it morphs into something about Harry Potter.

Lance is going to start reading non-fiction books and make content out of them.

The boys discuss A.I. in the Pacific Islander music scene and have come across an "artist" who seems to have come out of nowhere.

The future looks grim.

Enjoy the show!

BALLINESIAN PODCAST ON THE POLYTICKIN NETWORK

Welcome back to the show for our first episode of the NFL offseason! What are some ways that people play sports that could tell you something about them? Maybe they're a selfish ball hog or a OnCourt Only Bully. Maybe they're a head-down-and-grind role player that you can depend on. Maybe they were a Coach's Kid and can't put up with low standards, or maybe they're a notorious cheat at golf. New segment: "I Read A Book" starts this week with "Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump" by Rick Reilly, the famed Sports Illustrated columnist and golf historian, documenting different ways the President cheats at the sport and his businesses around it. Leave a question or comment below and we'll discuss more. Also, suggest non-fiction or sports books for us to read for this new segment. Thanks!

The Raiders are bringing in new coaches to fill out Klint Kubiak's staff. We're in the early part of the season where anything is really possible, so we dream. Also, shout outs to Dame Valerie Adams for making the NZ Sports Hall of Fame, Chelsea Gray for winning the Unrivaled One-on-One championship and to Destanee Aiava for announcing her retirement from her "toxic boyfriend" of tennis. All the best! Leave a comment, hot take, sports question or birthday shout out below or message us on Instagram or TikTok, or email [email protected].
