Summary
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!

We were just catching up on what's been going on since you people less. I know you guys thought this episode before us, unfortunately, we have things doing. We do. I know we don't appear to have things doing. But, you know, from time to time, we do occasionally have what we're doing. Yeah, we're just catching up. We did some dilemmas. You guys are more knocked than ever before. Than ever before. I can't believe that in this new year. Nobody had decided to change or be better. The knocked ones are very knocked.
