A surprise upload... a returning familiar voice... "New Beginnings"

What could THMP be cooking after being gone for so long...? Well stop reading and start listening to find out!

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!!
