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!

*Recorded before Hawaii volleyball lost to Long Beach State :-(*

Happy early Mother's Day to all the mamas and mamacitas out there!  It's time for some more of that sweet podcast magic you've grown accustomed to: our favorite rants about Joe Biden, Indonesia moving its capital city before it falls into the ocean (definitely nothing to worry about in Honolulu, right?) and cute animal stories from around the world.

Plus, it's easy to get lost in the 2020 speculation and madness (trust us, we do it all the time) but don't forget -- there are elections happening THIS YEAR! Our guest (at 22:30) is the wonderful Amanda Pohl, a chaplain and healthcare worker who is running to unseat an extreme right-wing nutjob incumbent in Virginia's 11th Senatorial District. Hear about her strong pro-woman, pro-family, pro-education, and pro-healthcare platform, the hopeful rise of the religious left, and why we need to focus on more than just who occupies the Oval Office. 

PS: Shoutouts to our friend Kimiko LaHaela Walter of YPDA, Japan's Emperor Emeritus Akihito, John John Florence, and Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, and much aloha to former world surfing champion Sunny Garcia.

Like, tag, share, and stay tuned for more!
