I Said What I Said

The "Whimsical Welcome Back" Episode

You know what rhymes with 2026? ISWIS! We’re back with a bang for season 8! In the first episode of the year, we discuss whether New Year's resolutions are in or out, and somehow we end up complaining about the Nigerian experience (as usual). We talk about our super fun holidays and the need to add more whimsy and enjoyment in life — maybe that’s our actual New Year's resolution. We also discuss the need to reduce pleasantries or niceties and actually chat with people to find out how they’re really doing. And of course, the 2026 dilemmas are really juicy! When will you guys actually change? We get into dating siblings, using someone to secure a visa, feeling jealous towards someone else’s success and the possibility of your parent cheating on their spouse! We’re really looking forward to doing 2026 with you, and we have so much planned, so enjoy! Don't forget to use #ISWIS or #ISWISPodcast to share your thoughts while listening to the podcast!

The "Feliz Credit Alert" Episode

Ladies & Gents, welcome to our last episode of season 7. We’ve had such a fantastic run with you all yet again, and this season ends on a high note. We discussed all the fun activities we’re getting up to this month, and how our year has truly felt from January to December. This led us to reflect on the areas we want to improve in 2026, including supporting our friends with their children. We talked about becoming better support groups for parents, getting married SOON so we can receive free transfer (wife privileges), and some really juicy dilemmas about loving someone even though they’re cheating and your partner hating your weight gain (crazy). But we’re so thankful to all of you and all the brands who worked with us this year. See you in a bigger and badder place come 2026. We love you! We also wanted to let guys know we’ll be going to see J Hus at Music City Central, and you should get your tickets right hurrr! https://url-shortener.me/2MDOThe Big Bounce Bash (December 21st) tickets are still up for sale at https://tix.africa/bounce-bash-25 Don't forget to use #ISWIS or #ISWISPodcast to share your thoughts while listening to the podcast on X!

The "Let's Make A Group" Episode

What time is it? Christmas time, so it’s our vacation! Just kidding, we might have one or two more fun releases for you guys before the end of the year. It’s just us in the studio this week, and we talk about our December plans (we can’t wait to leave Lagos, of course)… It’s also an intense & thought-provoking episode in which we discuss the erosion of real community, friendship, and communal life. We also discuss how impossible it is to solve our societal (and national) issues because of government irresponsibility, rather than individual apathy. We wrap up the episode with some truly interesting (derogatory) dilemmas: thinking your partner is razz & uncultured, and having a friend who secretly hates you. By the way, we also wanted to let guys know we’ll be going to see J Hus at Music City Central, and you should get your tickets right hurrr! https://url-shortener.me/2MDOThe Big Bounce Bash (December 21st) tickets are still up for sale at https://tix.africa/bounce-bash-25 Don't forget to use #ISWIS or #ISWISPodcast to share your thoughts while listening to the podcast on X!

The "So What Do We Do Now" Episode ft. Tai (Foodie In Lagos)

This week, we are joined by a fabulous guest, Tai of Foodie in Lagos, who’s an equally hilarious babe. We talk about the rite of passage of pranking your siblings, how dealing with grief never gets easier, and how kids are never taught traditions and the reasons behind them, but are expected to obey them completely. We also get into how Tai started a successful food blog through her BlackBerry Messenger status, which has now grown into a community of 60,000+ people! There’s also some really juicy dilemmas about teenage pregnancy, transitioning from friends to lovers and how to handle leeches in the form of friends who keep taking advantage of you. Our friends at Coca-Cola also have the juiciest offers to win N250 million in prizes!

The “Situationship Ban” Episode ft Iwuchukwu Ugochukwu

We’re joined by a very unassuming guest, someone you wouldn’t know is a very big amebo but that’s exactly how we like it. We have Ugo from our key helpers, Bamboo!!! We talk about our favorite shows and the battle of the streaming sites (we all know Apple TV wins). We also recap the sweetness that was the Abuja Live show, and we want to thank you again for all the love and gifts!! If you missed it, ntor 🤭. This episode is sponsored by situationships round the world, you really keep everyone on their feet. We also get into changing friendship dynamics when one person makes more money than the other and what to do when your friend slutshames your mother (you read that right). Enjoy!! Also, don’t forget to get your tickets to the Lagos live show and party on Friday, before they’re sold out!
