    Welcome to this week's episode of Samoans talking sports and discussing a historical quarterback matchup in Spain. Marcus Mariota and Tua Tagovailoa faced off in the first NFL game between two Samoan signal callers, showing the league and the world how far Pacific Islanders have come since entering the league decades ago as hulking lineman specialists. Soon, high-level Pacific QBs will be the norm.

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast, y'all! The Pod Boys are keeping it a bit short because they have some things to do.

    Marcus got another haul this week, and he is now knee-deep in the game.

    Sefa is excited for Max B's second chance, as he's been doing more in a week than we do in a lifetime since his release from prison.

    Also, apparently, 45% of men aged 18-25 have never approached a woman before.

    Where has all the game gone?

  • The Polytickin Podcast | Episode 145: If Not Him, Then Who?

    Welcome back to another episode of The Polytickin Podcast! The Pod Boys are chillin' on a Friday evening.

    Marcus got a cool little haul from his local comic shop, and it's time to start collecting whole runs.

    Sefa is now invested in Red Dead Redemption 2, coming full circle after the rants Marcus done went on about this game.

    The boys talk about a candid interview Spawnbreezie did on the Vaka's Corner podcast, addressing some of the messiness of the Fiji tribute.

    At an SDSU football game, a Samoan girl was recording her interaction with a security guard and a couple who were chastising her over the fa'aumu.
