This week the duo clocks in with jokes, heat, and a little righteous smoke.

We kick things off reviewing Netflix’s America’s Next Top Model docuseries — and let’s just say… the nostalgia hits different when you realize how wild that era really was. The duo break down the Tyra Banks legacy, the manipulation, the theatrics, and ask: was it genius television or low-key villain origin story?

From there, it’s straight bars.

We dive into J. Cole’s The Fall Off and unpack whether it lives up to the myth, the moment, and the man. Then the gloves come off with a cultural impact debate you do NOT want to miss:

• T.I vs Wayne
• Ja Rule vs Ludacris
• UGK vs 8Ball & MJG

This wasn’t just about hits — this was about influence, movement, and who really shifted the culture.

After the music break, we talk about Chance The Rapper’s Grammy snubs and whether the industry politics still matter in 2026. Then the energy shifts into TV mode as we ask the question that still divides living rooms everywhere:

Who was the real villain in Power?

Was it Ghost? Tasha? Tommy? Or was everybody just toxic with better lighting?

To close it out, Asaad & Kemistree ends the pod with some heavy hitters

• Do people secretly enjoy drama more than peace?
• Would you rather know every lie told about you or every truth people tried to hide?

It’s funny. It’s sharp. It’s a little messy.

But most importantly — it’s real.

Press play. We’re all rootin’ for you… but we’re still keeping score.

Episode Title: Black Grand National

The crew pulls up with another unfiltered session on Black Grand National — a fast-paced, culture-soaked episode where nothing is off limits. We kick things off with a sharp review of this year’s Grammy winners, breaking down the highs, snubs, and what it all means for the state of music. From there the conversation pivots into the swirling controversy around the Epstein emails and Nicki Minaj’s viral Gold Trump Card moment, with the hosts cutting through the noise with wit and perspective.

The energy stays high as the show weighs in on the internet’s latest obsession, Big Sheila’s Wagon, followed by fresh music reviews and rapid-fire sports takes — including early thoughts and bold predictions for the upcoming Super Bowl. To close it out, the crew dives into the rising dating trend known as “Hardballing,” sparking a funny but insightful conversation about modern communication, intentions, and why the host proudly claims elite communicator status.

Raw humor, sharp commentary, and culture talk you won’t hear anywhere else — this is The M.A.K Podcast in full stride.

Ethical Communicator Pt. 2

In Ethical Communicator Pt. 2, the crew keeps it mostly tongue-in-cheek while still stepping on a few landmines. We kick things off by welcoming The Safe Space—Julio, Jose, & Eric—into the building, setting the tone for a wild but honest conversation.

At the top of the pod, the hosts revisit the brief (and very unjust 👀) appearance in “Are We Dating The Same Guy: Humboldt Edition”, which sparks the fellas sharing their own experiences with the group. That naturally opens the floodgates to a bigger question: Why are women feeling unsafe in today’s dating climate? The answers range from thoughtful to hilarious, with a little uncomfortable truth sprinkled in.

After a quick music break, we apply full-court pressure with rapid-fire questions that don’t let anyone breathe

• Are dating apps actually useless?
• Is financial security a requirement or a preference?
• The trials & tribulations of living in a lower tax bracket
• Are credit scores one big scam?
• And much more reckless curiosity

Funny, spicy, and surprisingly informative—this episode is a reminder that uncomfortable conversations don’t have to be boring.

Shoutout to @kemistree2cg for all her love and support. Hopefully she shares this episode but she ain’t on it sooooo we’ll see, and much love to the listeners who continue to rock with us. If you’re enjoying the platform, spread the word—we can’t build this without you.
