With the return of the beloved YouTube-based podcast. Fans were able to find out what the current cast and crew looked like. This comes off the back of the great purge of beloved crew members in December 2022 ahead of the show’s production break. As reported:
It’s Spit Braai Gate: MacG vs. Thuso
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 staffers had fun all round. More so as MacG hired a large spit braai, inspired by the success 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 driver, Thuso. Thuso is now working as Sir Trill's driver, and from comparative images the man might be the one in the white t-shirt in the second post.
This is as 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.
Moreover, when telling the story, MacG had indicated that he had ended his working relationship with Thuso, who joined fellow outgoing original crew members Maligant and Aya Prow. However, the first episode of the year confirmed that Thuso, unlike the fellow aforementioned crew members, returned to the podcast.
Podcast and Chill’s Thuso made to do a lie detector test
When MacG had initially fired Thuso from the podcast in light of the spit braai debacle. He had insinuated that the dismissal was due to the lack of trust he felt towards the team’s driver. As such, it seems that Thuso needed to earn back his trust in order to earn his way back into the fold.
While the team did not directly address just how Thuso was able to earn that trust again. While they were teasing Thuso for how outspoken behind the scenes he has gotten since getting his job back. Sol seemed to allude to the fact that Thuso complied to do a lie detector test to prove that he was not lying about the sequence of events which resulted in the missing spit braai.
