The MAK Podcast — Too real for the faint-hearted, too funny for the boring.Welcome to The MAK Podcast, the audio equivalent of kicking down the door to a late-night hangout where nobody pretends to behave.

Big Poly Poppa

We picking up right where we left off—recapping last episode’s patriarchy convo before diving headfirst into the real meat of the episode: polyamory vs. monogamy.
This wasn’t surface-level talk either… we got into the nuances, boundaries, emotional discipline, and double standards that come with both lifestyles. Is poly about freedom or confusion? Is monogamy structure or control? We ask the questions people be thinking but don’t always say out loud.
Then we pivot into a cultural convo sparked by Jack Harlow’s “Monica”—breaking down cultural appropria...
Monogamous Maliq

On this episode of The M.A.K Podcast, Asaad The Artiz sparks a conversation about monogamy following the Dak Prescott engagement split story. The crew also gives Joe Budden his flowers while debating why his rap career wasn’t even bigger despite his lyrical ability. Later, the host reveals his Hate / Hate On list before the episode closes with another round of Delusional or Deserving?
A laid-back episode with relationship talk, music discussion, and classic M.A.K Podcast debates.

...Future-Bombin’ Over Baghdad
Send a text
This episode gets spicy from the jump. Asaad The Artiz and Kemistree step into the booth and unpack everything from global politics to modern dating nonsense.
First up, the duo break down the Iran/Israel conflict, digging into the long history behind it and why tensions in the region keep resurfacing. No boring textbook talk here—just real conversation, context, and some honest reactions to what’s happening in the world.
Then the crew dives into the newest dating term that’s been floating around social media: “Future-Bombing.” You know… when someone...
Beef, BAFTAS & Bad Decisions
Send us Fan Mail
Asaad The Artiz and Kemistree return to the mic with another unapologetic ride through music, culture, and real-life conversations that don’t come with safe answers.
The episode kicks off with hip-hop debates that instantly turn the temperature up — breaking down the T.I. vs 50 Cent “beef,” asking the real question nobody wants to say out loud: Is 50 Cent actually corny… or just strategically petty? The duo also salute T.I.’s kids for standing ten toes behind their mother before shifting into a review of Baby Keem’s Ca$ino and a bigger i...
All Rootin’ For You
Send a text
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.

Black Grand National

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...

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 feeli...

Ethical Communicator
Power, platforms, and public receipts—nothing’s off-limits.
The M.A.K Podcast soft-launches into 2026 with Ethical Communicator, an episode that opens in uncomfortable territory and never apologizes for it.
In the first half hour, the duo dives straight into real-world tension—reacting to the arrest of Venezuela’s president and recent ICE shootings—breaking down how authority, violence, and media narratives collide. That momentum leads into a bold question most creators won’t touch: has social media officially outlived its usefulness, or are we just addi...

🎁 The Gift That Keeps On Giving
In this holiday-fueled episode of The M.A.K Podcast, Asaad The Artiz kicks things off airing out his latest dating frustrations straight from the wilds of Humboldt County—and somehow that spirals into a very real conversation about parenting boundaries. The big question on the table:
👉 Should single parents wait at least a year before introducing a new partner to their kids?
From there, Asaad and Kemistree tap into the holiday spirit, breaking down what Christmas actually means to them—beyond gifts, lig...
A How R.u.d.e Throwback: Highway Traffic
Send a text
Back when podcasts didn’t have “brands”… just opinions, bad audio, and a dream. We pull up a How R.U.D.E. Podcast vault classic from 2021 featuring DJ Pressure, local emcee Hiway, and Kemistree — real traffic, no GPS. This episode is straight raw convo as we weave through politics in music, cultural exchanges, breaking musical barriers, and the everyday chaos of trying to make art without losing your mind (or your integrity). This one’s gritty, unpolished, and allergic to PR statements. The type of episode that would get “shadowbanned” today for being too honest and l...
Choices and Decisions

Every choice comes with consequences—and this episode doesn’t dodge any of them.
Asaad the Artiz & Kemistree tap in for a wide-ranging conversation that moves between faith, culture, family dynamics, music, and unapologetic hot takes. From questioning belief systems to debating rap royalty, Choices & Decisions is all about the moments that shape who we become—whether we’re ready for them or not.
In this episode, we break down:

Episode Title: Right Timing
This week on The M.A.K Podcast, we step into the chaos of culture, controversy, and questionable life choices — all in the right timing. From dissecting the Male Loneliness Epidemic to side-eyeing serial monogamy culture, we unpack why everybody wants love… but nobody wants to sit still long enough to earn it.
We tap into Kevin McCall’s latest interview and the unraveling of a career that had star potential but got lost in the industry maze. Speaking of industry mess — we get into art...

On this episode of The M.A.K Podcast, we’re turning the dial all the way up. We kick things off by breaking down the ongoing push to dismantle the Department of Education — what’s behind it, who’s driving it, and what it could mean for the future of students nationwide.
Then we shift gears and ask a big question with even bigger consequences: Can capitalism survive another 50 years, or are we watching the early cracks in the foundation?
