The Hood Morning Pod

Shocker!! The Hood Morning Pod suddenly shows signs of life. Is a brand new season on the way perhaps...? It's been a few months since the finale of season 4 and we decided to tap in for a bit and discuss the latest right in time for Ramadan. Hopefully this is a better alternative to other stuff you may be listening to! In the third ever bonus episode (first in two years!), Awale and Stretch discuss Drew Walls, the Omay Lay incident, and the gambling pandemic to name a few. As always thanks for tuning in and we hope to see you all in season 5. Make sure to keep up with our socials for the announcement (honestly don't know when).

This week on The Hood Morning Pod, Awale and Stretch wrap up the 4th season of THMP with a rather laid back episode. Apologies for not going out with a bang. We wanted to take things easy especially after the roller coaster of a Hood Night episode we had lol. As per usual we talk about a variety of things including, but not limited to, how friends may or may not limit one's growth, the fall gaming season, and our most used emojis! Thank you to all of you for sticking with us for another season and a big thank you to those who listened from episode 1. We will be back, if God wills, with a Season 5 soon. No exact date for that yet but make sure to stay tuned to our socials so you don't miss the announcement!

In the second part of The Hood Night Pod Episode 4, Anas shares his experiences as a comedian. We got most of the BS out of our system in part 1 at this point. He shares how he creates jokes, deals with different audiences, insight on the life of a comedian, and more. This is a Hood Night episode of course so don't expect TOO much productivity.

After taking yet another week off, we return with "The Hood Night Pod". A series where we get a little spicy, because who doesn't like some kick to their food right? And oh boy does this episode have a kick. In this installment into the Hood Night series, Stretch brings long time friend Anas. Anas is an up and coming comedian looking to find his break into the comedy scene. In this first part of episode 4, Stretch and Anas present their case to the audience (the listeners and Awale) to prove who is really the worse person between them. They both think the other is an absolute failure of a human being. This is where you all come in. Let us know what you think. Not about the episode, about THEM.

One the second last episode of The Hood Morning Pod Season 4 *GASP* The season is wrapping up already??? Yes, unfortunately. The Summer has come and is now sadly wrapping up quickly. This week we try to go over the creativity of hood niggas. We talk about hood niggas and their deep bag of words and codes, how they think, and even spit game.Honestly, this episode did not do it justice so don't be surprised if we have another similar episode.

In Episode 39 of The Hood Morning Pod, Awale and Stretch tried to praise and criticize each other's strengths and weaknesses while also highlighting shared traits. This week however, upon a Curious Cat suggestion, the THMP duo take the Myers & Briggs' 16 Personalities Test with returning guest Faris. To newer listeners, Faris featured on the 9th episode of The Hood Morning Pod. We briefly go through the test's questions on air and then take a deep dive into our results. What strengths and weaknesses does the test think we have? What type of friends or lovers are we? This is a much longer episode than usual so kick back, relax, and enjoy the show.

We took another week off! What's going on?? We went to Quebec that's what! This week on The Hood Morning Pod, Awale and Stretch return to their regular duet and share stories from their recent trip. Coincidentally, both happened to go on the same trip at the same time with different groups. From speeding tickets to racist encounters, the entire episode is literally story after story. Hopefully it makes up for our sudden week off (and late upload lol).

A THURSDAY upload! Who would've thought?! According to our Instagram poll a few weeks ago, yall didn't appreciate us uploading on Fridays again. How about now?? This week on The Hood Morning Pod, we continue last week's discussion with AsSomaali. We completely dive into relationship problems people posted online giving our opinions/ solutions under the watchful eye of our married guest. There were a couple agreements and a number of interesting disagreements. Listen in and let us know what you would do!

Upon great demand, this week on The Hood Morning Pod we brought back arguably one of our best guests ever: The AsSomaali AKA Zbo AKA Abdulqadir! Given that we are on a downward spiral, we've made the executive decision to squeeze some content out of the former Fully Living Pod member. As mentioned by our special helpers, this discussion lasted 2 hours and we've thus decided to divide the episode. In this opening part we mainly discuss our experiences with language. What hurdles, obstacles, or simple differences separate us from our brethren who speak the Native language fluently? We delve into how we generate and navigate our thoughts. Apparently some people have an internal monologue that narrates their thoughts while others... just think! We tap into the idea of linguistic relativity, "a principle suggesting that the structure of a language influences its speakers' worldview or cognition, and thus individuals' languages determine or shape their perceptions of the world". And then FINALLY, we get to the actual purpose of the episode! I feel like I wrote too much so Imma let yall figure that out for yourselves. Part 2 next week!!

Well hello there. Miss us by any chance? Our week break is over and we are officially back better than ever (absolutely nothing changed) to make the final push for the second half of the 4th Season! This week on The Hood Morning Pod, Stretch shares a story of how HE was pranked! So crazy right? Stretch was surprisingly bested at his own game. We also discuss the "dayooth" word being thrown away lately, Stretch's recent addition to Awale's gaming group chat, and more. What does it mean to be a "dayooth"? Have you ever asked to be in someone's private story or left one? Do you gate keep your group chats? Find out what we think and as always let us know your thoughts! P.S. Awale's dumbass kept saying “carnal sin” instead of “cardinal sin”

Hoooooood Morning friends. It is Sunday. Again. Lol. We really haven't been on top of things this season. Sorry : This week on The Hood Morning Pod, Awale and Stretch go back to their regular duet performance. We talk about our experiences with Eid, why people say Eid "fell off", vomit (we talked a lot about yacking lool), and more. While this isn't an "Ask THMP" episode, our discussion topics were heavily influenced by you, the listeners! As always, feel free to message us topics or things you'd like to hear. It doesn't always have to be a question!

It is currently 5:20 AM as I type this. I've been awake since 7 AM yesterday. I am fatigued beyond comprehension as I muster the ability to write a compelling and interesting description. Hood Morning folks! It is Sunday. I think this is the second time we've uploaded this late into the weekend lol. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring on Ahmed & Pluto. These two gentlemen are never before seen (or heard) guests in the ever growing THMP universe. With Ahmed & Pluto, Awale kicks the episode off as a mediator trying to get Stretch and the guests to make amends. We then discuss a number of topics including Stretch's experience with body shaming, the tragic submarine story that's been trending, the passport bro movement, and more. Sincere apologies for the delay with this episode. A number of things got in our way and we really tried to deliver you all a Hood Morning Friday!!

40 episodes. Pretty insane tbh. Almost 2 years in you'd expect us to have done at least 100 episodes but hey we still uploading am I right? For the 40th installment in The Hood Morning universe we bring back Stretch's twin brothers (his brother's who happen to be twins), Muse & Muk. Shocking, I know. We don't bring people back once they feature on the podcast. Are we not only running out of content, but also guests?? (We actually have a good reason). This week we discuss a variety of things as per usual. We jump from random thought to random thought whether we have any knowledge on it or not. (You'll understand after listening). But we eventually land in the "What if?" region of conversations where we ask each other: What if you find out, upon attempting to conceive a child, that your significant other is infertile? What if you learn that your significant other is on Reddit anonymously complaining about you and the relationship? What would YOU do? Let us know!

This week on The Hood Morning Pod we are 1 day late. Look at us uploading on a Saturday smh. (We feel no ways cuz yall still gon listen). On the 39th tape in the THMP catalogue, for the better or worse, Awale and Stretch attempt to praise and criticize each other's strengths and weaknesses while also highlighting shared traits. What do YOU think? Are we capping or on the nose for the most part???

On the second week of The Hood Morning Pod's triumphant return, Awale and Stretch discuss the sibling dynamic, how we present ourselves to different people, Awale's brand new Linkedin obsession, the Somali - South Asian social media war, and much more. Last week's episode was a tad bit too serious and productive for our liking. Our comeback episode didn't have enough nonesense. With this episode, we really wanted to go back to our chaotic roots haha.

*SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC* After THREE undoubtedly spectacular podcasting seasons, the members of The Hood Morning Pod figured they'd transfer their unquestionable genius into their individual lives. (Believe it or not, we are actual real people with worries, hopes, and dreams. Shocking, I know). This "difficult" decision resulted in the longest hiatus in THMP's short but incredibly storied history... Nonetheless, similar to how mankind always anticipates the rising of the sun every morning, THMP has been renewed for a fourth season to brighten your Friday mornings once again. *MUSIC ENDS* On the return of THMP we discuss MuzMatch's court case and how people actually use the platform, some political nonesense, can someone turn a "bad" person into a "good" person, and what we've been up to these past 5 months. How do these topics correlate? Click play to find out!! PSA: Roy will officially be working behind the scenes moving forward, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of a surprise appearance!

Welcome to the final episode of The Hood Morning Pod!!!....... Season 3 that is haha. Did I make your heart skip a beat? Be honest. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring on Afkea to reveal the final results of the first annual "Beating the Cancel" Awards. After revealing the winners of each category we go on an absolute storytelling spree sharing some insane middle/ elementary school stories. We also reveal a brand new host to replace the ever elusive Roy.... Let us know what you think of their performance!

Introducing the very first Beating the Cancel Awards where we highlight the best and worst moments in THMP history! Instead of us blabbering in your ears for an hour straight (nothing wrong with that at all btw), we've decided to make a more interactive/engaging episode. In this episode, we'll go through the categories and announce the nominees along with our personal votes. You guys (the listeners) will vote on Tuesday November 29 on the @TheHoodMorningPod Instagram! The results of your votes will be shared next week. Be there or forever hold your peace!!

Over the past few days and weeks, the internet and perhaps society as a whole has been discussing and debating about a number of controversial happenings within the general Black or African American community. This week on The Hood Morning Pod, Awale and Stretch share what they've learned and their thoughts on these trending topics. We mainly ask: Why is it increasingly common for the innocent to pay the price of the guilty? Feel free to let us know what you think!

Yes, yes it is true! Don't worry, you read the title right. Congratulations to the people who just wanted a different perspective (and the freaks) because we finally did it. It only took us a mere 27 episodes, but we finally did it. A woman. We got a woman on the podcast. *Round of applause*. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring on JV and get real shallow as we discuss the 1-10 attractiveness metric system. We take a deeper look at how people perceive themselves and others in the subjective and objective sense. What is a 10? WHO is a 10? And how would you rate YOURSELF out of 10?? Eventually we (accidentally!!!) dabble into some relationship stuff. Apologies. We know it's getting a little redundant but hey it happened naturally and differently! Fun Fact: This episode dropped on November 4th, 2022. The last episode to feature women dropped on November 5th, 2021! ONE day shy of a year LOL. This was 100% (!!!) a coincidence!

After a well deserved week off, The Hood Morning Pod is back! (The Hood Night guys are different people, just happen to share the same name and voice as us). This week on THMP we answer YOUR questions for the second edition of "Ask THMP". If you would like to be featured in future episodes, make sure to hit us up on CuriousCat.

The Hood Night Pod. *Sigh*. Yall really enjoy this series huh? This week we bring on Ranski, someone we've eluded to in past episodes. With him we discuss a whole load of bullshit really but it was mainly about dating (not again!!), social behaviour trends, and Ranski's CRAZY stories. Yes, another whirlwind episode.

Welcome back to The Hood Morning Pod as we kick off the second half of our third season! This week we continue the productiveness from the last episode with another real discussion. Can you "fix" someone and is it worth to do so? Try to call back to The Hood Night Pod Episode 1 Part 2 where we had a very...*comical*... version of this ;)

In life, things don't always go as planned. Certain matters get delayed or simply never pan out. What then? Should you just roll up and accept it? No!! Giving up should never be in your vocabulary because as we all know: when there's a will, there's a way. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we ACCIDENTALLY get very personal contrary to the norm. Awale and Stretch share their experiences with failure and how they managed to get to where they are today. Oh and Stretch also finally does his romance episode in the latter. A little sneak peak/ prelude if you will. The real romance episode is still loading unfortunately!

This week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring on Aman, a longtime friend from Awale's high school days. The two recount and tell Stretch a variety of tales from their youth from racist teachers and classmates to an INSANE prank on a very unfortunate victim. How good was this prank? Well if you tuned into Episode 10, this possibly rivals Stretch's notorious kidnapping prank. But we'll let you be the judge of that. Sit tight and join Stretch in listening on to the greatness. If you are driving, make sure to park. If you are eating or drinking, make sure to either stop or finish before starting the episode. Kindly refrain from engaging in anything that requires even minimal focus as THMP is not liable for any unforeseen circumstance XD.

This week on The Hood Morning Pod, Stretch and Awale perform yet another duet. Please come home Roy. We miss you. This duet is called "Passion". How do you incorporate passion into your individual lives? And is your passion and love for THMP strong enough for you to stick around until we actually discuss this? Find out ;) I need to stop saying, "Find out". Need to expand my trailer vocabulary.

This week marks one full year of The Hood Morning Pod Universe. On September 8th, 2021 The Hood Morning Pod came to fruition. We didn't address it this episode because we recorded earlier than usual so here we are in the description giving ourselves a well deserved pat on the back. But guess what? That isn't even the best news. This week on THMP we bring on the MOST unique specimen to exist. The one and only Tanker. It doesn't get better than this honestly. Usually we bring guests to discuss like minded topics but no. In this episode our guest Tanker IS the topic. Tune in to find out.

Regular schedule programming returns with the pure and innocent Hood Morning Pod. It's easier to appreciate the sun after a dark dark night am I right? This week, on the second episode of The Hood Morning Pod's third season, we bring on our good friend Bruce. Quite the character honestly. We discuss a number of happenings amongst us and eventually get to what the episode title and graphic are hinting towards. Any idea what it is?

Hood Night!!! Welcome back to the very illustrious and well received "after dark" series where we get a little more unhinged than usual. After the feedback from the first Hood Night episode, we knew that we had to make the series official. (It would've been made official regardless). But um, yes! This week on The Hood Night Pod we bring on a brand new pair of guests in A2 and Najeb. We discuss dreams, fat shaming, and a number of childhood stories. Very very incomprehensible summary but yall know how we get down by now!

*SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC* Upon delivering the 2 greatest seasons in podcasting history, The Hood Morning Pod's trio disappeared once again scattering across the land in chase of their individual summer goals. For over 2 months people wondered when the podcast would return for a third season. Others wondered if the podcast would return at all. Many achieved greatness once. Less achieved it twice. But only few did it three times. To be a dynasty, you must deliver and prove the doubters wrong time and time and time again… Ladies and gentlemen, this is The Hood Morning Pod where we discuss any and everything. Welcome to Season 3. *MUSIC ENDS* I really do this narrator stuff. I could do a lot better though. It's 3:32 AM and I really am trying to sleep. But hey! Welcome back! We hope you had a fun and productive summer. Season 3 is finally here and we hope you all enjoy eavesdropping on our weekly conversations once again. This week on the return of THMP we undergo our typical rollercoaster discussion routine, but for the most part, summarize most if not all of the main headlines of Summer ‘22. BTW, it's only Awale and Stretch this week unfortunately! As of now, Roy will be taking a step back and appear in less episodes this season. He is a little busy atm and will hopefully be back full time soon! But yeah uh, take a listen and as always let us know what you think!

Welcome back for the final episode of season two Hood Morning listeners. We appreciate the continued support and we hope to see you guys back in season three. We spoke about the recent tragedies and issues regarding gun control which somehow ended up with the long awaited clash from Awale and Stretch. It ends off with a long winded story about a love story gone wrong and remembering the first remembering. Also Stretch did all the work this week. Awale did nothing. Goodbye!!!

Well hello there. It's Saturday. Hood Morning Pod Veterans heard this song before. Was it a difficult Friday without us? We hope not. IF it was though, have no fear because we are here. Rhyming accidentally. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we share ideas and stories that don't really make sense without extreme visualization, 0 initial criticism, and incredible explanation*. Who is the "final boss" of our world? How on earth did Stretch not see THAT?? Why do people follow celebrities AFTER they pass away??? *Even after all this, some things might just never make sense!

Continuing where we left off last week, in Part 2 of The Hood Night Pod Episode 1 we explore what it is to be a "Dirty Mack". How far can one insult a friend to capture the heart or interest of a person? Is it okay to "dirty mack" someone if they are aware? And how would you act if you and a friend were both gunning for the same person? Find out what we think by like actually clicking the play button on the episode. Reading this won't give you the answers to those questions pal. Or pay attention to what we are saying if you are reading this while listening? Rude much??

The Hood Night Pod. Interesting. Uhhh. So what's the difference? Great question. The Hood Night Pod will be a series, if God wills, where we bring on the more *unhinged* opinions so to speak. Marginally more than usual. Just a little bit. Barely noticeable. Not necessarily bad, just *unhinged*. Yall are smart, yall get it. After recording what was supposed to be Episode 23 of The Hood Morning Pod, we realized that we accidentally did just that. The *unhinged* stuff. For the very first episode of The Hood Night Pod we bring on a rather colourful duo as guests, Kamal & Yonis. Amongst a GREAT variety of topics, we discuss hypotheticals with regards to friendships, dating, and so on. See yall for Part 2 next week!

The last 10 days of Ramadan is upon us! Hope you are taking advantage! This week on The Hood Morning Pod we literally do a freestyle improv. We had no idea what to discuss so we simple discussed. You catch my drift?? Hence the title: improv. But, somehow we brought it all together. What can I say? We really do this man :D

Fever Dreams. An experience that has you desperately holding onto reality by the thinnest of threads. You hate it, don't you? Well, this episode has that feeling written all over it and it's just something that came with the great new powers bestowed upon us. Ladies and gentleman, this right here is Episode 9 + 10 of The Hood Morning Pod. If you're a historian, jot this down as the turning point in our history cuz we go absolutely bonkers with brand new equipment delivering Islamic reminders to keep our and your Ramadan going strong. How did we achieve this? Click play to find out!!

Ramadan Kareem dear listeners! Alhamdulilah we've made it to yet another Ramadan. May Allah forgive those who are no longer with us and may He make us of those who take perfect advantage of it. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we, as per usual, talk all over the place. But! One thing is for sure... "One slap could move a rock at will" - Anonymous

Ever get in trouble at school and witness an accomplice absolutely throw you under the bus? Or have a random bystander try to accuse you of something for no reason? When it comes to the dire moments there are the real niggas and there are the "snitches". The people who end up telling the 5 W's and How. EVERYBODY's pet peeve of a human being. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring in the authority on the matter, our good friend Jalo (or Yellow), to navigate the ins and outs of the snitching scene. That person you have in mind as you read this description?? Yep, yep. *THAT* person. In an hour or so, with our help, you'll know if he/she is a snitch… or a rat!

Turns out that Awale's weekly Twitter this and Curious Cat that actually paid off somewhat because this week on The Hood Morning Pod we answer your questions! An episode powered by you guys, our precious listeners. Considering that we are open to having episodes like this, for our next Q&A if you would like to join the discus-

Ever been in a group setting and seen a friend or an acquaintance say or do something absolutely wild knowingly or unknowingly? Ever have a friend who lives rather extraordinarily and always comes to you to solve their messes? Should a person offer advice they do not follow themselves? Should one be advised in front of others, or in private? Does one's tone of voice matter when providing sound advice? Hooooooood Morning ppl. Lots of questions, I know. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we break down and try to shed light on what goes into properly giving a person advice. Unfortunately, advising or "calling each other out" is an incredibly sensitive topic. However with proper technique and practice, we can help better each another instead of constantly worrying about damaging somebody's pride or being labelled an asshole. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Episode 17.

From the colours, fonts, and shapes on the packaging of your favourite snacks to the back to back non - skippable 15 or (as some people claim) 30 second ads before a YouTube video. Everyday we are bombarded with the latest products via a mosaic of marketing tactics and schemes. Now, in this week's submission to The Hood Morning Pod universe, we don't necessarily discuss that idea of marketing. Instead we look at how top content creators of today achieved rapid, incredible success and stayed relevant over the years. In order to gain and then maintain clout and fame, how far is too far? How much of your pride can and should you "sacrifice"? Because if you are consistently getting the likes/views and haven't been thrown in Alcatraz, are you really doing anything wrong? We bring on long time Hood Morning ally and favourite in Hawarsa to figure this out! P.S, he is the "H" we mentioned many times on the Pod *wink*

Hood Morning pals & gals! This week on The Hood Morning Po- nah scratch that. Time for another easter egg for our description readers. We had a great turnout last time. If you are reading this, in your most preferred way, tell us your favourite THMP episode. And it'd be great if you also tell us why. Hit us up on Twitter, IG, or the CuriousCat! Aaaanyways, this week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring on our very first guest of Season 2. Introducing Hassan, a creative writer and the founder of the Toronto-based creative writing program called "Write2Right". After speedrunning through 81 topics (in typical Hood Morning fashion), we discuss his motivation and goals behind this ingenious project. Definitely worth a listen! To those interested in learning more about the Write2Right Program, feel free to send an email to write2right@outlook.com or a DM to @write2right on Instagram.

It's been really cold lately and we can't help but notice the people that, unfortunately, aren't blessed to have somewhere where they can warm up and power up for the next day's challenges. In this episode we ask, "What's Your Dollar Worth?". Do you simply avoid the gaze and pleas of the needy? Or do you offer whatever you have? As Muslims, we are well aware that any sustenance from God is not only for us to consume. Even if we started our days early and ended them late, every dollar or cent that comes our way through our efforts is indeed a blessing. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we discuss the realities of poverty and homelessness. In the lands that are praised for its opportunities, not everybody is living the dream. And as always Hood Morning friends ;)

*SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC* After an elusive Season 1 performance Roy, Awale, and Stretch disappeared without a single trace subsequently leaving the podcasting scene yearning for more and desperately searching for the next all - time great. New shows came and went, but nobody was able to do it quite like THMP. Friday mornings were just never the same... Following some baseball and lots of soul searching, the band has reunited to run it back. Apparently doing it once was not nearly enough. The doubters said for it to be real, we had to do it again. This is The Hood Morning Podcast where we discuss any and everything. This is Season 2. *MUSIC ENDS* Now look me in the eye and tell me that wasn't hard ^^. Perks of having a little narrator voice in my head. Somehow not all people have it. Niggas be out here living in absolute silence. Without further ado, Hood Morning people! Welcome back! This is the official first episode of THMP Season 2, our 13th episode overall. In our return, we discuss the male podcasting scene. There's been a whole lotta bad chatter about male podcasters. We also discuss racism. I don't know how that happen, but in typical THMP fashion we talk anything as advertised. As per usual, check out our socials and make sure to SHARE OUR GOFUNDME! We tryna get new equipment. Thanks for reading this far. It means a lot.

Oh! What is this? A surprise episode!! Woooooow. Now aren't yall a spoiled bunch. TBH we saw a couple THMP listeners absolutely tweaking over the break and said yeaaaah the streets need us. In all seriousness though, we would like to *unofficially* welcome you all back. The real party will be next week. We hope that you all had a restful winter break and a productive start to the year! Introducing Stretch's twin brothers Muk & Muse. On this edition of The Hood Morning Pod they share their experiences of what it's like to live with a clone, an exact carbon copy. We also talk a bunch of crazy controversies and conspiracies. All over the place really. Quick Disclaimer! This Bonus Episode was initially intended to be Episode 5, but we were not particularly fond of the sound quality. Still not fond of it lol, but it has been *worked* on. Regardless, the content was still good so we decided to upload it anyways. With that being said, use this episode to survive until next week's return!!

After about 13 (?) weeks of uploads, unfortunately all good things must come to an end. Awwww man! But let's take a moment to celebrate the culmination of our very first season doing this podcast stuff. We truly appreciate the support we've received and are glad to know that we don't stink! Make sure to keep up with our socials as we, if God wills, will be back with a Season 2! For our season finale, this week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring on Ismii. The man, the legend, the inspiration behind our podcast name. We reflect on past episodes, tell stories, discuss money management, and more. Thank you for tuning in, once again, to yet another THMP episode. Until next time, this is The Hood Morn- SHUUUUUUUUUSHHHH!!!

Ahhh, the classic "Would You Rather?" game. Don't we all love imagining impossible situations and forcing our friends to choose between 2 ABSOLUTE evils. That feeling of euphoria seeing your homie crumble or admit to a choice that is so incriminating and nowhere near their carefully built character. Well. We definitely don't go that far. Not trying to get cancelled just yet. But! We do choose and discuss interesting questions, some of them a little morally difficult. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we investigate and peer into each other's moral compass. *Editor's Note: I promise it's not that serious. Just got a little too good at description writing haha*

We all got a friend who likes to make jokes, maybe pull some jumpscares, a light prank or two... but oh boy. Stretch isn't that friend. If there's a line that tells you when you're taking it too far, our homeboy Stretch looked at it like Usain Bolt waiting to start a race. This week on The Hood Morning Pod we talk pranks. What would you consider to be as "taking it too far"? We bring on a new guest and great supporter in AB to discuss!

After a much deserved week off, we return refreshed and motivated as ever before! This week on The Hood Morning Pod we bring yet another guest and possibly our most unique, Faris. An absolutely unpredictable personality to say the least. He shares details of his personal life and many of his incredible career experiences around the world (!), delivering yet another The Hood Morning Pod slapper. You might be thinking, "You honestly couldn't be more vague in these descriptions". I mean, eh. I could be a little bit more detailed but nah. If you rock with us, hit the play button already. It's that simple!!

A Hood Morning Pod bonus episode! A double upload day!! But wait? What could have possibly prompted this incredible gift from us to you?? One word. Twitter. That's all you are going to get. Don't get it? Stop reading and take a listen. You do get it? Still. Go and listen. If you are somehow out of the loop, buckle up for a crazy tale.

S/o to all of you description readers. Last week's experiment was a resounding success. We talk about it this episode. Don't worry, you have been acknowledged. In this week's The Hood Morning Pod, we tell an intriguing, yet controversial "Pub Story" that has been mentioned on the pod before. Apparently a certain some- you know what? No spoilers. That wouldn't be fun, right? We also discuss a range of topics that have been surfacing lately. HOWEVER, we unfortunately recorded this a day before the #SurvivingSophia. The Twitter Space is literally rocking rn as I type this! But yeah, Hood Morning ppl! This is episode 8. Have fun.
