What A Joke

The shortest month of the year! The month of love! Is also Black history month... let that sink in for a moment. However you choose to look at it, What a Joke is here to tell you something completely different. We've all heard of (I hope) the 5 love languages. But have you ever heard of the 7 Black Love Languages? No? you're welcome! I've been away for a while and I know, but I'll be back... reeeaaallll soooooon. So this is a peace offering, until then.

Merry Christmas! Today is the Monday that the Lord has made and you had BETTER BE GLAD and rejoice in it. What do you mean you're not feeling the Christmas Spirit? Between adulting, billings and everything in between, you might not think you have reasons to 'Christmas', and I get it, but I just might have the permanent solution.

Last time on the What a Joke special, The Abbreviation Game, we had two amazing teams go head to head, and in a surprising twist (surprised me too), the underdogs pulled an upset and came from behind to lead 2-1. But there's one more round left to go, and the game's still very open. Will a winner be decided in the this round? Or will we go to sudden death? Are you team #Isumi or #lukanda Welcome to the captivating finale of the first every Abbreviation game, and the sixth season of the What a Joke Podcast!

I grew up watching game shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and The Weakest Link. I even dreamed of being a contestant one day. Who would've thought that I'd one day end up hosting my own web-televised game show. Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the first of it's kind. I give you... The abbreviation game. What? Because I didn't say What a Joke? If it doesn't enter, it doesn't enter na. Oh yeah, by the way guys, this is the last episode of the season. So um, episode next monday? ha ha, what a joke.

Subject? The Left Hand Crime? Unknown For many generations and across many cultures, the Left hand and by default, Left handers, have been seen as sinister and unnatural aberrations that walk among the right. But they aren't that at all. In this episode, I dig up the origins of left hand bias, reaching as far back as over a millennia ago, and I discuss the often overlooked or generally unknown negatives of converting a left hander the other way. If you hate the left hand, I hope that by the end of this episode, you can take a long look at your left hand and say 'left hands... are not a joke'.

I came, I saw, but did I conquer? I went to EbonyLife Creative Academy with two missions. To network and to work on a film project of mine. The first is easy to accomplish thanks to my disposition. However, thinking the latter would even happen showed just how much Main Character syndrome I actually have. Life isn't like the movies, and things don't always go the way we want... but sometimes, they do, and in the most epic ways.

Almost by default, whenever most of us hear the name Pythagoras, we think about right angled triangles and his theorem. Pythagoras is indeed known as the father of Mathematics, but he was so much more. He was a pioneer, a musician, a mentor, a cult leader, a traveler, an ambassador, an animal lover, and a respecter of beans. There's so much crazy stuff you didn't know about Pythagoras, and once you listen to this episode, it'll have you going 'Pythagoras? What a joke."

Franchising is, in fact, a very boring topic. At least that's what my friend who works in franchising told me, but I said nah, this actually seems pretty fun. And no, it's not the right to vote or be voted for. McDonald's, alien overlords, shampoo, franchisors, franchisees, franchises, and french fries. What do all these have in common?

Has male celebration been gate kept? In this subliminally matriarchal world we live in, everyday is a holiday for men and women to celebrate women. Am I complaining? No, Women are top two genders in the world... but where does that leave men? Chasing after scrap holidays like Boyfriend day, that's what. Pfft, what a joke PS, if you want my account details, join the WhatsApp community at;

How often do you think about the Roman Empire? Happy Nigerian independence! As far as Nigerian history goes, the name Flora Shaw is synonymous with mostly one thing, naming the country. And to take it a step further, she was the wife of the first governor general as well. On last week's episode, we looked at the interesting, albeit partly unfortunate life of her Lord, Lugard. Conquering nations because you got your heart broken? What a joke. This week we look at little miss independent herself. If you like Victorian stories or the Bridgerton series, you might want to hear her this short tale about a great woman, cus Flora Shaw was no joke. Also, I'm seriously curious, how often DO YOU think about the Roman Empire?

Happy almost independence day! Nigeria, my home country, is a nation with a rich history, dating far back to before it was even named. One non-native man who's a huge part of that history is the first governor-general of the land, Lord Frederick Lugard... Junior. And I just found out that Nigeria maybe kinda sorta exists because he got his heart broken. What a Joke. Eat ice cream or put on some sad records. Anyway, The Lord, part one of the Lady and her Lord is now streaming on Jamit and other podcast platforms.

A Hungarian man woke up one day and thought, everyone can be connected to anyone through a series of other individuals, reaching no more than six people between. I don't know if that made sense to you because it didn't really to me, but in short. If you're watching this video, from anywhere in the world, you and I are connected through a friend of a brother of a classmate of an offspring of a colleague. In the same way that I'm connected to Ryan Reynolds probably through about three or four connections in between. That concept is known as the six degrees of separation and while I think it's a joke, you'll have to check out this episode to see just how true it really is.

I know you guys aren't scared of it anymore, but The Bermuda Triangle used to be one of the scariest things out there. Now it's like one of those big bosses who becomes your ally after you defeat them. Utterly unthreatening.

Anyway, I thought I'd do an episode either wayyyy.
