This week on Bad For The Community, we’re joined by Gutta (@filmedbygutta) to talk about the launch of CHNL — a new creative platform co-founded with our very own, Saint Yves!

CHNL, short for Creatives Have No Limits, just dropped its debut issue featuring incredible collaborations with a number of local fashion brands within a magazine that's been two years in the making. Gutta and Yves share the full journey: from the first spark of the idea to assembling the right team, navigating collaboration, and bringing a tangible archive of culture to life.

We get into the stories behind Issue 001, the meaning of physical print in a digital age, the balance of creativity and burnout, and how CHNL aims to create lasting legacy for underrepresented narratives and emerging creative economies.

Tap in for a deep dive on what it takes to build a proof of concept that’s bigger than clout and rooted in culture!

Starting with this week's episode, we're going to be going live every Friday night. So make sure to tap in with us on YouTube and join the conversation in real time!

On this week's episode, we kicked things off by grilling Nate for his recent appearance on another local podcast, CWTFB Radio; and reacted to Charlie Masheen's scathing comments toward friend of the show, SeeFour. We also shared our thoughts on the latest album releases, including Tyler the Creator's 'Don't Tap the Glass', Freddie Gibb's 'Alfredo 2', and Metro Boomin's 'A Futuristic Summa'.

We later reacted to the sign-up bonuses and student loan relief ICE is reportedly offering new hires and jokingly asked ourselves what it would take for us to join. We revisited a topic from one of our viral clips discussing if $100k is enough to quit your 9-5 forever. We then reacted to a recent Twitter trend of "gayest" things a man can do, before diving into more serious concerns regarding the famine and unacceptable living conditions Palestinians in Gaza are facing.

In this clip, we react to Robert Griffin III (RGIII) reposting a racist photoshopped image that replaced Angel Reese with a monkey on a fake NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition cover. The image was originally created by a random Twitter troll, but RGIII — instead of ignoring it — decided to repost it to his massive platform under the guise of "denouncing racism."But instead of standing in support of Angel Reese, his tweet mainly focused on criticizing her — once again revealing the same questionable behavior we've seen from RGIII over the years.From being called a "cornball brother" to repeatedly co-signing anti-Black narratives, this ain't new for RGIII.

Fresh off of seeing Kendrick Lamar & SZA in concert, we kicked things off by reflecting on our experience at the show. It didn't take too long for another beef to strike in hip-hop, as we reacted to Ray Vaughn's and Joey Bada$$' diss tracks to each other and who we thought took round one. We also touched on the latest drama with Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison and the insane Diddy trial that's revealed more than any of us really need to know...
