Description

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.
