I Said What I Said

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 impossibl...

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 ...

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 sponsore...

We hope your 'undies' weren't in a bunch as a result of our absence last week because what was missing last week has been made up for this week. After a glimpse into FK's new high-level hobby to set things off, the ladies of ISWIS explore, travel and the importance of preserving Nigerian culture. Joined by Dimma Umeh as she graces us for her 4th feature on the pod, (Yes, it's her 4th time) this episode is a history exchange class c...

This week, Jola & FK are alone on the couch as they discuss the state of the nation (are you ready for a Trump-led invasion?), Lagos Fashion Week, and whatever is in the air making many people ill. They then provide excellent, bad advice to a number of you struggling with everything from gluttonous talking stages to bigoted parents. We hope this episode makes you think deeply & laugh even more. As always, let us know your ...

This week’s episode is sponsored by God’s grace. Jola & FK are joined by Blessing Omakwu, the CEO of The She Tank, a gender-equality evangelist, and a really knowledgeable theologian. The girls get into the dicey topic of balancing one’s faith and feminism; if these concepts are entirely antithetical to one another, OR if religious text is actually more feminist than we believe. They shed light on our favourite Bible stories an...

The girls are very demure this week as they’re joined by Bimpe of On The Rocks With B! Bimpe talks about being an entrepreneur who runs no1, not 2 but 3 (almost 4) businesses. She also talks about building a business in a male-dominated field, how she became an entrepreneur at 20 & why she hasn’t stopped since university.

Then they get into their thoughts on facial dysmorphia, being boxed as an extremely ambitious woman and wor...

This week’s episode is for the girls - fitting, since International Day of The Girl Child just passed by. We are joined by Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani female education activist, who reminds us the importance of education, community, structure and balance for every girl, everywhere in the world. She gets real about the pressures and life differences in being Malala the activist vs Malala the woman. She also shares some (extremely ...

This week, we have the one and only Big Fish, Adekunle Gold, on the pod. We discuss the new album, how he secured some OGs, such as Yinka Ayefele, to work on the project alongside him, and also the true inspiration behind this new project. Adekunle takes us through his thought process and unique approach from album to album, which we think makes him a true artiste versus some of your favourites. AG also offers singles some dating a...

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

This week’s episode is very Power Puff Girl coded; FK & Jola are joined by Tosin, a Misan by Bamboo top user who’s a makeup artist and business mogul. They start off chatting about moving apartments, an insane birthday night at Zaza featuring a giraffe and then tackle some very interesting dilemmas about parents prioritizing other people’s feelings & wellbeing over their own children, weighing the cos...

This week, FK & Jola are back in the studio after a whirlwind of a weekend. Jola FINALLY receives her long-lost luggage from KLM & FK has an 8-hour sleep cycle she calls a “short nap”. The girls discuss the importance of reconnecting with friends, especially given the busy nature of life, the challenges of planning group trips, and the value of critique/feedback in relationships. Because if your friends can’t tell you you’r...

You know what they say, four heads are better than one, so it makes sense that we have two Cannes-certified heads in the house! Wale & Funmbi, the writer and producers of My Father’s Shadow, join us for such a well-rounded episode. We discuss what to do if you’re a dark-hearted cheat, how to get over the idea of “the one that got away”, father-son dynamics in Nigerian society and how tumultuous parental relationships can be, wh...

This week, we’re joined by the one & only Candice Brathwaite! She was THE perfect guest and agony aunt for your all your dilemmas. We talked about why you shouldn’t chase social media fame, what true “authenticity” looks like online, the pressure on young people to hustle constantly rather than rest, and parenting in this new age of hyper-visibility. We also get into the tough subject of abortions, death and infidelity fro...

The best words to describe this episode? A robust train of thought. We start off talking about the effect of AI on human interaction and end up at BBLs. How? You have to listen. We also delve into another age-gap relationship dilemma and the pitfalls of financial imbalance (as Reminisce would say) in a two-person household. The lovers are also never left out; we tackle dilemmas about a girl who hates her boyfriend, and some delusio...

The Bounce is 8years old! 8 entire years. So in this episode, the ladies spend some time alone (together) talking through their thoughts on 8 years carrying the podcast industry of Nigeria on their backs, meeting people from all over the World at live shows, solving dilemmas and having a jolly good yapping session. They also share their views on family support, nepotism and eat some cake because it's not easy to host 8 exceptional ...

The Bounce is synonymous with Baddies, so of course, we have the most amazing beauty and fashion content creator, Uche Natori, in the studio with us this week. We have had a blast discussing influencer brand trips, navigating content creation across various platforms, and comparing beauty content from the past to the present. We also get into how much the beauty industry profits off women’s insecurities and the deep issues with com...

This week, we’re joined by THE fabulous SimiMoonlight as she takes us through what it’s really like being a notable fashion and lifestyle content creator in a world with increasing parasocial relationships & fewer boundaries as you become more visible on the internet. An episode without our silliness doesn’t exist, so obviously we talked about the big lady age that is 30+ and all it comes with, and the comedic relief that is No...

In this lively episode, FK and Jola discuss their recent experiences in Toronto, reflecting on the energy of the crowd during their show, their post-show adventures and the realization of their career growth. They share humorous anecdotes about their time out, the challenges of jet lag and the luxury of their accommodation, leading to a sense of excitement for the upcoming show in New York tonight.

In this episode, the hosts dis...

This week's episode starts with a recap of our 1400+ live show on Sunday: long-distance guests, games with the crowd and interesting dilemmas. We also attempted to solve several interesting dilemmas, including moving for love and figuring out a talking stage. The London Show was incredible, and we have many people to thank, starting with our amazing audience. We also extend big love to our wonderful sponsors, Ruka Hair & Kai Co...
