MacG took a swipe at L-Tido and sparking laughter from his co-hosts.

“Imagine L-Tido replaces us? Oh, gosh,” MacG said.

He went on to declare that he’d cancel his DStv subscription if L-Tido was chosen as their replacement.

“I’m cancelling my subscription if that happens,” he added.

Sol Phenduka initially thought MacG was subscribed to L-Tido’s podcast, to which he clarified that he was referring to DStv and added that he wouldn't waste his subscription on L-Tido.

“I’m not gonna waste my subscribe button like that. Come on now. What’s wrong with you?” he clarified.
