Welcome back to another episode of Return of the Mak! This week I’m joined by new friends of the show and stars of the movie: Sunburn – Josh (@loveobra) and Dashawn (@dlblackwood). Sunburn is a film that made its way to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)! We kick things off by getting into what the movie is about, how everyone got involved with the project and what initially inspired them to pursue acting and much more. We also get into the process of getting a film selected for TIFF, what that experience looks like for independent filmmakers and which iconic movies they’d love to recreate if given the opportunity. Then, somehow, the conversation takes a turn as I reveal that I doesn’t cry in front of girlfriends, which leads to a conversation about vulnerability and showing emotions in relationships. And, of course, we close things out by discussing the absolute evil that is Net 60 payment terms. Because waiting two months to get paid for work you’ve already done is insane. ⏱ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 4:51 - What is Sunburn the movie about? 7:51 - How and when did you get involved with this project? 14:21 - How did they start acting 22:11 - How does a film get picked up by TIFF 33:01 - Which movie are you looking to recreate? 40:11 - Duke doesn’t cry in front of girlfriends 58:21 - Net 60 is evil work Connect with Duke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duuke.m/ Connect with Josh on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loveobra Connect with Deshawn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dlblackwood [email protected] Or via Instagram DM at: https://instagram.com/rotmpod Be sure to give us a thumbs up on YouTube and SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t already, it helps the channel grow!

Welcome back to another episode of Return of the Mak! This week I’m joined by my boy Driver for more of a catch-up-with-the-homie type episode. We start things off with me addressing a grievance before getting into how breakups somehow always seem to fuel Driver, which leads to me diagnosing him as an avoidant in real time. We also talk about how much people pretend on social media, whether we actually see ourselves getting married and, of course, Drake dropping “FOMO” somehow leads us to asking the important questions… did Drake smash Lena? Then Driver talks about missing out on the Kanye show, we get into the Ajax Fairgrounds event and some Toronto podcast beef before showing love to Mac Miller with The Divine Feminine officially turning 10 and talking about what made him so special. And somehow, we close things out debating whether you’d tell your friend that his wife cheated on him and how you’d tell him. ⏱ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 8:22 - Duke addresses grievance 9:32 - Breakups fuel Driver 13:52 - Duke diagnoses Driver as an avoidant 21:52 - People pretend way too much on social media 24:22 - Are we going to get married? 31:02 - Drake drops FOMO 34:50 - Did Drake smash Lena the Plug 41:44 - Driver missed out on the Kanye show 42:22 - Ajax Fairgrounds event 51:07 - Toronto podcast beef?? 1:01:02 - 10 years since Divine Feminine album 1:03:07 - Mac Miller appreciation 1:06:22 - Leaving your friend with your wife 1:10:32 - Marrying your assistant coach’s ex-wife Connect with Duke on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duuke.m/ Connect with Driver on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/driver.ca [email protected] Or via Instagram DM at: https://instagram.com/rotmpod Be sure to give us a thumbs up on YouTube and SUBSCRIBE if you haven’t already, it helps the channel grow!

We get into how he got started in photography, his journey through marketing and advertising, and realize we’ve got more in common than expected after bonding over our OFSA days. Oz also puts me onto a secret Nike store, talks about always having a bit of a temper and somehow we end up revealing Duke’s secret identity. We also talk about Hassan Phills being one of the most down to earth people around, Toronto’s inability to be objective during the Drake and Kendrick beef and Oz gives his critique of Drake and where he thinks things stand now. Then I recap my trip to Chicago for Kanye West’s show, including night one of the concert, a very important Kanye vs Jay-Z secret Verzuz debate and the ridiculous setlist Ye pulled out in Chicago.

We also talk about what goes into planning Coffee Break, moments they’ve had to completely remove from episodes and then we switch things up with a little crossover action. Slim came prepared with some AITA and moral dilemmas for us to debate, including a couple considering using a surrogate, whether a daughter should be allowed to mourn someone her family hates and whether leaving your friend behind in another country makes you an a*****e. And somehow we eventually end up uncovering the truth behind almond milk, Slim gives us his Tim Hortons conspiracy theory and, of course, we close things out with some Silly Shit.
