Episode 226: "Parents Can Try Their Best and the Cake Can Still Taste Like Semo"

This week on Submarine and A Roach, Nigeria’s funniest and #1 comedy podcast, Mayowa, Tmt, and Koj dive deep into friendship, self-awareness, and the art of not being a fool in "Parents Can Try Their Best and the Cake Can Still Taste Like Semo."

The guys break down a hard truth—the key to being the ultimate friend is “getting over cringe.” But in between all that wisdom, they also get into discipline, making time for things (and people) that matter, and why prioritizing friendships is a skill, not just a feeling.

Tmt and Mayowa share hilarious stories about (not) making time in romantic relationships, leading to Tmt boldly comparing himself to cocaine—because of course he does. This naturally spirals into one of the greatest "Last to Marry is a Fool" jokes ever delivered—possibly in the history of mankind.

The conversation shifts to performative people, performative friendships, and the reality that personal branding is just knowing yourself. But knowing yourself isn’t just a social climbing move—it’s also how you figure out what you value in friendships, how you want to show up for others, and how you want to be shown up for.

And if that all sounds too deep, don’t worry—there’s also an important lesson for men everywhere: you should only cry between 11 PM and 1 AM when everyone else is asleep.

Oh, and Koj almost gets scammed three times in one week. Because balance.

As always, it’s unfiltered, hilarious, and packed with life lessons you didn’t know you needed. Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts!
