    Episode 240: "Everywhere is Nigeria and Nigeria is Everywhere"

    Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria—is back. This week, TMT & Koj dig into a truth every Millennial in the diaspora eventually learns: no matter how far you travel, you can’t outrun the Naij inside of you. The Millennial Reality Check: The boys open with the “Millennial Dream” and the corporate bias that still favors the married-with-kids crowd. From ballot boxes to boardrooms, they land on a thesis: the world isn’t as progressive as it pretends—everywhere has a conservative spine, just like Naij.Wedding Warfare & “The Bottle Guy”: What does it take to survive a 700-person Nigerian wedding as a sober person? TMT breaks down his promotion to “The Bottle Guy”—part event planner, part logistics wizard, part miracle worker—and the pressure of delivering a brother-of-the-bride toast to a sea of aunties and expectations.Why Shelter Is… Sexy: Domestic life gets spicy as Koj chronicles furniture hunts and couch lust. They argue for lived-in homes over sterile showrooms—ditch the museum vibes, keep the joy, make your house feel like yours.The Anti-Hustle Manifesto: A liberating reminder for the burnt-out millennial: not everything needs a side hustle. Take the jiu-jitsu class, throw clay at a pottery studio, pick up a guitar just to be bad at it. Adults are allowed to learn for the sake of being human.Culture, weddings, furniture thirst, and soft rebellion—proof that Nigeria isn’t just a place; it’s a pattern you’ll keep recognizing everywhere. Press play.

    Episode 239: "We Must Credit Nnamdi Kanu & Mr Eazi for Detty December"

    Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “We Must Credit Nnamdi Kanu & Mr Eazi for Detty December,” hosted by TMT & Koj. A quick Yoruba linguistics lesson kicks things off (“Ten is happening,” decoded), before the boys audit Detty December’s origin story: did Nnamdi Kanu inadvertently shift December migration patterns—and did Mr Eazi brand the season by popularising “Detty” through his many Detty events? They trade receipts, timelines, and jokes, then price-check the present: Lagos Airbnb listings touching $9,000 for 11 nights, plus a playful side quest blaming Maleek Berry’s “Eko Miami” for the city’s glossy rebrand. Finally, Spotify Wrapped enters the chat—Koj pulls a youthful Spotify “age” of 22, TMT clocks in at 73—and they dive into their top artists for 2025 before closing on a Nollywood riff inspired by the just-concluded S16 movie festival. It’s Yoruba lessons, Detty December origins, Afrobeats, rap music, Spotify Wrapped, and Nollywood—served with signature Submaroach mischief.

    Episode 237: "Every Good Girl Deserves A Bad Boy"

    Join Tmt. Mayowa and Koj on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest and #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 237, “Every Good Girl Deserves A Bad Boy.” Tmt starts off choosing joy as the boys open in classic Submaroach fashion: talking nonsense. They talk Wike, and the surreal reality of Nigerians rooting for a soldier five years after #EndSARS—proof that we are in a true state of higi-haga. Culture chat follows: alté anxiety, Lady Donli being the one artist Tmt openly fears, and his doomed attempt to debut a parody alté song. Then the big one: Burna Boy’s “empty” Houston show. Bad ticket day? Boycott whispers? Or the start of his legacy-act era? The boys compare his recent run to Wizkid and discuss what a comeback could look like. Mayowa adds field notes on diaspora crowds and why great performances are good PR. The episode gets personal: parents discovering the pod, mums threatening Instagram unfollows, grief arriving mid-week, birthdays, friends, and the grounding power of witnessing personal growth. TMT shares rent hikes, D&D nights, classical concerts, tattoos, and the gusy delve into serendipitous stranger encounters before the final sign-off.

    Episode 236: "Nothing to see here — yet"

    Join Tmt, Mayowa & Koj on Submarine and A Roach—Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast—for Episode 236, “Nothing to see here — yet.” Love isn’t dead; it’s everywhere, even on Twitter. TMT opens with a Sunday sermon on tenderness before the boys autopsy the week’s millennial exodus—timelines scrubbed, handles vanished, and a decade of tweets dug up like generational curses. “Chaos is a ladder,” they joke, then climb right into it: cancel culture vs. shamelessness, victimhood logic, and why the internet keeps scoring real life in W’s and L’s like it’s monkey post. They pivot to the fan–artist contract after the Burna Boy clip—customers might pay for tickets, but empathy is priceless—then get properly paranoid about platforms: encrypt the DMs and encrypt the search bar. Political mess leaks in as the boys dig into Epstein, Trump, and BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. Music ties the bow: a fresh look at SARZ’s album (executive brilliance vs. production flex), Odunsi’s cinematic rollout, the Wale Afrobeats viral moment, and flowers for emerging artists—Deji Osikoya and Ayoade Bamgboye. It’s love amid chaos, Lagos humor with global stakes, and a reminder that outside the outrage machine, there’s grass, real life, and rice at home. Press play now—touch grass later.

    Episode 235: "Detty December is Human Trafficking"

    Submarine and A Roach — Nigeria’s funniest podcast and the #1 comedy podcast in Nigeria — presents “Detty December is Human Trafficking,” hosted by TMT & Koj. Every December, Lagos becomes a conveyor belt of bodies, bottles, and bravado—an economy of daytime festivals that start too late for the sun, beach days that turn into boat-hopping on the Lagos Lagoon, and selfies in the red-light district otherwise known as Lagos traffic. It’s our annual rite of passage: equal parts pilgrimage and punishment. The boys build a Detty December checklist: stuffy clubs with famously disorderly queues; Russian roulette with fake alcohol; concerts that begin at 3 a.m. and stages that collapse by 3 a.m.; and the not-so-subtle deployment of Nigerian police by private citizens—like Pokémon. There’s wedding culture, too: the old era of joyful gate-crashing is fading under inflation, replaced by a dystopian hustle where IJGBs and culture tourists buy access to “authentic” Nigerian weddings. TMT’s PSA is simple: if you purchase a ticket to crash a wedding because of an IG ad made on Canva, expect hands. Koj counters that the market will protect anyone willing to buy tables at weddings like it’s Rhythm Unplugged. Climate anxiety hovers over the festivities: rain bleeding into November, potentially signaling higher heat levels in December, and a city with a track record of not solving environmental crises—before the conversation pivots to Sanwo-Olu at Lagos Fashion Week, modeling a “sustainable” aesthetic. You can’t spell APC without AC, so APC will cool the globe. The hosts resurrect the word “chassis”—a car term upgraded into a compliment—to show how Nigerianisms morph in real time. Ultimately, like Detty December itself, language is just infrastructure for what we really want: to be seen, to be inside, to say, “I survived.”

    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. Tap in to Episode 233, “L is for Lekki and Q is Kwara,” now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.
