Episode 234: "Meek & Horny"

Join Koj, TMT & Mayowa on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 234, “Meek & Horny.” It’s a high-energy catch-up that zigzags from Lagos banter to Toronto life, politics, and pure nonsense—nimble like Simone Biles. The boys open with a chaotic drink check (green tea, Heineken 0.0, Lasena Water, and tales of expired zero-alcohol beer), plus a medicinal detour into Aboniki and why “stiff” needs context. From there, Koj’s moving diaries turn into a love letter to rent-controlled Toronto apartments, outrageous building amenities, and plotting bike rides on waterfront paths. We get an Ibadan classic: the gardener caught doing thirst traps in the boss’s pool—a WhatsApp-era parable told in Yoruba (“wé”) about boundaries, class, and comedy. Then it’s culture and current affairs: royal family headlines, U.S. threats toward Nigeria, and why media framing around Boko Haram is messy—plus a reminder to value reporting over outrage cycles. Internet culture shows up too: OnlyFans as a business, a Pornhub developer on LinkedIn, and a stray alté pregnancy rumor that somehow invaded dreamland. The episode closes on fatherhood, friendship, apartment hunting, and the eternal tension between being—well, meek & horny.

Episode 233: "L is for Lekki and Q is for Kwara"

Join Tmt, Mayowa & Koj on Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast — for Episode 233, “L is for Lekki and Q is Kwara,” a wide-ranging conversation that moves from Lagos nightlife to terrorism, tech, and stand-up comedy without taking a breath. This episode starts with stories from Tmt’s weekend driving around Lagos with non-alcoholic beer. Keeping things halal, the guys dive into literature and Boko Haram, reflecting on how books and storytelling shape how we understand violence, radicalization, and Northern Nigeria. The conversation shifts into AI and technology — specifically, how many folks are leaning on AI for human interactions and decisions, including Twitter fights. They also get into modern Nigerian social media discourse, public outrage cycles, and the fact that delusion is a winning strategy on Nigerian Twitter. There’s a run on stand-up comedy, and why getting on stage is low-key a great exercise in learning humility. The boys round things out with Google Trends, deep-diving into what Nigerians search and who the biggest culprits are for said searches. It’s social commentary, pop culture, politics, AI talk, and Lagos nonsense — all in one show.

This week, the guys unpack the representation of Black culture in Hollywood by African Immigrants, the absurdity (and psychology) of reality TV, and the relationship dynamics on Love Is Blind. They explore how fame affects mental health, why child stars struggle, and how growing up in public affects adulthood (s/o 2 Charlie Sheen #Winning). On music, they deliver a sharp Taylor Swift album review—questioning the gap between her lyrics and lived adult experiences—then pivot to Nicki Minaj vs Cardi B, the art of the diss track (hello, Pusha T), the goat Nigerian diss track, and how streaming reshaped what (and how) we listen. They also debate the future of celebrity interviews and how the media is used to shape narratives. History sets the stage for politics: a candid look at Trump’s media strategies, headlines about peace-prize talk, and the Democrats’ habit of courting Republican voters amid a broader stalemate. It’s funny, provocative, and wildly relatable. Enjoy “Reality TV Is for the Mentally Ill” now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.

Episode 230.5: "How Can You Rapture When You're Covered in Oil?"

Join Tmt, Mayowa & Koj on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast—for a fresh-year reset packed with cultural reflections, chaos, and church gist. Kicking off with theme music that actually sets the tone, the boys dive into childhood, parenting (hello, impulse control), and why certain social encounters still trigger anxiety. From there, Submaroach’s Sunday brain meets Pastor Iren, CCI Church, and the mighty Anointing Oil—which prompts the question of the day: if you’re drenched in blessing, how exactly are you rapturing? They wander (with purpose) into talks about YNs, Tiwa Savage, Cardi B and the many foolish ways people express themselves with AI. As they get a little older, the guys discuss the many ways they might be more conservative. Finally, a candid look at Nigerian cinema, filmmaking, and cultural expectations—what’s evolved, what still needs work, and why the best Nigerian movies are the ones with real storytelling, artistic merit, and inspiration that lingers.
