🎙️ We Are Sacramento Podcast | Episode 16

In Episode 16, Mario opens up about parenting in real time.

Mari breaks down turning point and the idea of all American “halftime show,” diving into how politics is increasingly being used as a tool to instill fear and shape narratives.

Miles brings the sports heat, reacting to the blockbuster news of the Los Angeles Lakers selling their majority stake for a jaw-dropping $10 billion, and what that means for the future of the game and big-money sports.

Mario opens the show with the electric buzz swirling around the newly dropped NFL halftime-show teaser, breaking down what the vibes hint at and why the league is stirring the pot this early in the season. Miles steps into sports with a prediction bold enough to rattle the helmets on the shelf, calling for the Raiders to snag a Super Bowl before the Niners do. It’s confident, it’s chaotic, and it’s classic Miles. Mari reels us back to reality with a reminder many of us ignore: protect your skin. She gets into why sun-blocking habits matter even when the weather feels cool, cloudy, or “Sacramento mellow.”
