Episode 252: "TMT’s Legs"

On Episode 252 of Submaroach, TMT, Koj, and Mayowa return with another chaotic blend of politics, pop culture, and completely unnecessary personal revelations. The boys kick things off by unpacking Donald Trump’s Easter message to Iran, trying to make sense of the tone, timing, and what it says about global politics in 2025. From there, they dive into the rise of false prophet influencers—the internet personalities blurring the lines between political awareness, performance, and outright manipulation. Things take a reflective turn as they discuss their favourite actors getting older, what aging means in entertainment, and how audiences struggle to let go of certain eras. That naturally leads into a conversation about President Bola Tinubu’s age, leadership, and how age perception shapes public opinion in Nigeria. And because it’s Submaroach, the episode somehow also includes a completely unserious but deeply committed discussion about… TMT’s legs. As always, expect sharp takes, ridiculous tangents, and the kind of conversations that go from global politics to pure nonsense in seconds. Topics include: Donald Trump, Iran politics, false prophets, influencer culture, aging actors, President Tinubu, Nigerian politics, comedy podcast Nigeria, pop culture debates, Submaroach podcast.

Episode 250: "Who dey shop?"

On this episode of Submaroach, TMT and Koj discuss the worldwide campaign against swag. In no particular order, we're talking Timothee Chalamet (again), and the parallels between Marty Supreme and Diddy, Nigerian righteous indignation scaring people, and childhood trauma. The boys bounce around the ideas of working through depression, Korty's brilliant piece with Asake and TMT gives his review and experience of seeing Project Hail Mary at the theatre.

Episode 249: "Only Country in the world where the Centre is considered North"

On Episode 249 of Submaroach, Koj, TMT, and Mayowa cover a wild range of topics—from deeply personal stories to internet nonsense and reality TV chaos. TMT opens up about childhood trauma and how early experiences shape the way people deal with conflict, relationships, and life as adults. The conversation then pivots to the internet, where the boys discuss the explosion of tribal impressions on TikTok. From there, they dive into shady property development in Lagos, the endless cycle of questionable real estate projects, and why buying property in the city sometimes feels like a gamble. Naturally, that leads into stories about Lagos traffic and road rage, including the strange psychology of how people behave once they get behind the wheel. The episode also detours into reality TV territory as the boys react to Michael and Angela’s breakup from 90 Day Fiancé and discuss the rise of chaotic dating shows like Pop the Balloon and Love Is Blind, and why audiences can’t stop watching messy relationships unfold. As always, the episode is packed with jokes, side tangents, and brutally honest takes on culture, relationships, and life in Lagos. Topics include: childhood trauma, TikTok tribal comedy, Lagos real estate issues, Lagos traffic and road rage, reality TV culture, 90 Day Fiancé, Love Is Blind, Pop the Balloon, Nigerian pop culture, comedy podcast Nigeria.

Episode 248: "OZEMPIC LIVES MATTER - Part II"

Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents Episode 248, “OZEMPIC LIVES MATTER – Part II,” hosted by TMT, Koj, and Mayowa. This week starts in the trenches of modern insecurity: pink lips, under-bridge beauty hacks, instant gratification, and the booming business of selling people relief from bodies they were taught to hate. The boys use Serena Williams, Oprah, and the whole GLP-1 era to ask a darker question: if even the richest, most decorated people in the world can still be got by insecurity, what exactly is capitalism doing to the rest of us? From there, it opens into a bigger conversation about media, ambition, and why America remains the greatest and worst country on earth: the kind of place where someone can raise millions for a football media product just because they believe hard enough. That leads into a proper Submaroach media summit — the boys sketch out what a real Nigerian football media company could look like, name their Mount Rushmore of Nigerian media, and side-eye the structures that make some ecosystems flourish while others are left begging telcos and betting companies for crumbs. They also get into the week’s current-events circus: Timothée Chalamet casually cooking opera and ballet, Canal+ swallowing Showmax, and Daniel Bwala embarrassing himself in public service of power. It becomes a wider riff on shamelessness, political attack dogs, and why journalism is not supposed to be government PR, no matter how badly some people want applause for bare minimum governance. Then the episode lands on the piracy debate, sparked by Big Jolls and a very online argument about books, access, and theft. The boys wrestle with the real tension at the heart of it: if the people downloading the books were never going to buy them anyway, who exactly is being robbed — and does that change the ethics of the act? It’s a classic Submaroach mix of body politics, Nigerian media, celebrity nonsense, political foolishness, and digital morality, all tied together with jokes sharp enough to cut through the discourse.
