MacG, the host of Podcast And Chill, confirmed on Monday’s episode that he had fired his sound guy Aya.
The news shocked Chillers because Aya has played an important role in the Podcast since her arrival.
According to MacG, despite receiving a warning, Aya submitted the sound for some episodes late.
On Monday, when the episode was released late, Aya informed Mac that he was dealing with family issues.
After checking WhatsApp, MacG came across Aya’s previous day’s status, which read: “Nothing better than chilling with friends and listening to my own album.”
This resulted in his dismissal, among other things.
Another person fired from the podcast is driver Thuso. MacG also detailed the events that led to his dismissal. Thuso is currently working as Sir Trill’s driver.
In the latest episode of Podcast and Chill, we were privy to details that surrounded the podcast’s End of Year function. From all accounts, it sounded like the staffers had fun all around. More so as MacG hired a large spit braai, inspired by the success of the spit braai was during his recent birthday celebration.
While the spit braai was a success during the actual function, the drama then began when it was meant to be delivered back to the company it was hired from by the driver, Thuso.
MacG suggests that he got a call from Thuso detailing how the spit braai allegedly flew off the back of the bakkie, and after they off-ramped to retrieve it from the highway when they arrived at the same spot it was gone.
Given the design and size of an actual spit-braai, the story already gave off “huh” vibes.
This led MacG to believe that Thuso might have taken the spit braai to Tembisa to start his own spit braai hiring side hustle.
