Lucky number 7! Josh and Ryan talk about vaccines and recap the week in news, including the West Virginia teachers' strike, Xi and Putin making bad man moves, and a shocking report that some African-Americans were still living in slavery as late as the 1970s. We also talk about Clayton Hee shaking up the Hawaii governor's race, take a mailbag question about the opioid crisis in Hawaii, and debut our newest feature: BIKILEAKS!

Then, at 27:33, we talk to Rufino Magliba, former Congressional aide extraordinaire, about his journey from Waimanalo to Washington, what life is like as a member of the Hawaii Delegation, and his current work bringing new education technology to Hawaii's schools.

We end with some shoutouts to diaper politics, Rick Ross, and our restaurant picks of the week (with a special tribute to the late great Colin Nishida, owner of Side Street Inn).  Check it out!

Episode 7 - Waimanalo To Washington

#8! Josh and Ryan discuss the week that was, including the spectacle of AIPAC and the Army's accidental mailift to Waimanalo Elementary. Then, in News in 9, we discuss the State's planned sweep of the camp at Pu'uhonua o Waianae, Rep. Kaniela' Ing's stand over #MeToo and the Daniel K. Inouye international airport, Trump's potential trip to Pyongyang, and the rise of Roy Moore 2.0 (a.k.a. Chris McDaniel) in the Mississippi Senate race. We also share a brand new super secret BIKILEAK!

Then, at 26:00, we're joined by Nadine Wolff, who tells us about growing up in East Berlin during the Cold War, the good and bad sides of communism, and what lessons Germany can teach us about dealing with your country's painful past.

We finish with memorials to surfer George Downing and Fiorentina captain Davide Astori, shoutouts to the Merrie Monarch festival, DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love, Los Angeles Football Club, Civil Beat's Nick Grube, and Max Holloway v. Connor McGregor on the field at Waianae High School -- and our restaurant recs of the week. Check it out!

Episode 8 - Goodbye Lenin, Aloha Nadine!

Why are Josh and Ryan so worked up?  Well, The Atlantic published a pearl-clutching #boomer screed about the so-called "radicalization" of the Democratic Party (by a #NeverTrump Republican who worked for Reagan, both Bushes, and now for a Koch-funded thinktank, so you know he really cares!), and we had to digest it line-by-line.  

From the #GreenNewDeal to #Medicare4All to #AbolishIce to #FreeCollege to #Taxes to #Israel to abolishing the electoral college and packing the Supreme Court,  we discuss why you don't have to be "radical" to know that huge changes to the status quo are needed for young people in the US and around the world to have a real shot at a better future. 

At 31:15, our guest is author, wordsmith, and visionary Michael Poore. His latest novel, Reincarnation Blues, was named one of National Public Radio’s Great Reads of 2017 (https://www.npr.org/2017/08/26/543933403/take-a-walk-on-the-wilder-side-of-death-with-reincarnation-blues).   You can visit him at michaelpoore.live and follow him on Twitter at @mikepoore227.

PS: Shoutout to our dear friend Delilah Asterales (a.k.a. @HawaiiDelilah on twitter) for coming down to Honolulu to hang with us, shoutouts to Bar Leather Apron and Bethel Union for showing the three of us a good time, and shoutout to the fine folks at Hawaii Public Radio for letting us join them and answer phones at their pledge drive! What a fun week.
