<description>&lt;p&gt;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 &amp;amp; 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 &amp;amp; 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/2MDO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Big Bounce Bash (December 21st) tickets are still up for sale at https://tix.africa/bounce-bash-25&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;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 

<description>&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our friends at &lt;strong&gt;Coca-Cola&lt;/strong&gt; also have the juiciest offers to win &lt;strong&gt;N250 million&lt;/strong&gt; in prizes if you buy a 50cl Coke, Scan the QR code &amp;amp; Share! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit https://www.coca-cola.com/ng/en/offerings/share-a-coke to see how you too can win!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Big Bounce Bash (December 21st) tickets are still up for sale at https://tix.africa/bounce-bash-25&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And you absolutely should go to the Foodie In Lagos Festival on the 17th of December!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choose Bolden products for all your skincare needs like we do!

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

<description>&lt;p&gt;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!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget to use #ISWIS or #ISWISPodcast to share your thoughts while listening to the podcast on X!

The “Situationship Ban” Episode ft Iwuchukwu Ugochukwu

<description>&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;strong&gt;ISWIS&lt;/strong&gt; explore, travel and the importance of preserving Nigerian culture. Joined by &lt;strong&gt;Dimma Umeh&lt;/strong&gt; as she graces us for her 4th feature on the pod, (Yes, it's her 4th time) this episode is a history exchange class coupled with top tier comedy and an analysis of a unique marital dilemma to help out the head of a home - amongst other things. If the word “moist” irks your soul or you've been faced with an unrequited love declaration situation, then this 3-hour episode will absolutely thrill you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy the musings of the three friends who are reunited in an absolutely hilarious episode.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join &lt;strong&gt;FK &amp;amp; Jola&lt;/strong&gt; on their &lt;strong&gt;Samsung&lt;/strong&gt; journey and discover the brand-new range of Samsung Foldables.
