  • Episode 236: "Nothing to see here — yet"
    Nov 18 2025

    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"
    Nov 11 2025

    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"
    Nov 4 2025

    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"
    Oct 27 2025

    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.

    Oct 7 2025

    Join Tmt, Mayowa & Koj on Submarine and A RoachNigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast—for an unfiltered deep dive into reality TV, celebrity culture, music, politics, and Lagos life.

    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?"
    Sep 30 2025

    Join Tmt, Mayowa & Koj on Submarine and A RoachNigeria’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.

  • Episode 230: "Remi Tinubu is Either Hillary Clinton or Bob Risky"
    Apr 1 2025

    Welcome to another chaotic chapter of Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria’s funniest podcast and Nigeria’s #1 comedy podcast, hosted by Tmt and Koj—your favorite agents of unserious national commentary.

    This week’s episode kicks off with a Mother’s Day tribute to none other than the Mother of the Nation, Remi Tinubu. The boys officially crown her Remy Ma, and obviously, this leads straight to a breakdown of the music video for Fat Joe’s “Lean Back.” Koj argues that Remy Ma had insane privilege because let’s be real—Ciara wouldn’t have survived that scene.

    From there, the conversation shifts to Remi Tinubu’s recent visit to a nursing school, the cheeky reception she got from the students, and the queries that followed. Koj shares a similar memory from high school, where students clapped a guest off the stage—giving Tmt the idea for his next hit TV series: “The Clap,” because, as he reminds us, “Na from clap dance dey start.”

    And somehow—because this is Submarine and A Roach—this spirals into a conversation about wacking off. (Don't ask. Just listen.)

    Tmt calls Koj a piece of shit (as is tradition), then tells a story about his girlfriend being mistaken for a Marlian. Tmt also poses a true philosophical banger:
    “What clapped first—hands or cheeks?” A debate only ChatGPT can settle.

    The episode swerves again into a conversation about Canada’s insane water reserves, the potential for U.S. annexation, and eventually lands on Nigeria’s tribal complexity.

    Packed with hot takes, deep cuts, historical spirals, and unfiltered banter, this episode is everything you’ve come to love from Submarine and A Roach. Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever else you get your audio chaos..
