The Podcast With No Name KE

A therapist of mine asked me, “Would you rather be right, or happy?” My answer: “I’m happy when I’m right.” We talked about happiness and realised for a single man, happiness is realising the baby is not yours but the babe is; for a married man, happiness is confirming that the baby is yours...and so is the babe. For the babe, happiness is ensuring babe, baby and Mubaba have all been fed well...yo...

Right now, Brian would be a major in The Salvation Army, Eddy would be a praise and worship leader at a church in Milimani and Ndugu...he would be a church's accountant in another church. So, to understand why we brought an ordained reverend to the studio, you have to understand that we have all—as members of the podcast—been called. But because we have not answered to our calls, we brought a man...

You need to work harder if all that time you've been eating out, you've never known what you are supposed to do with the twenty forks and twelve knives carefully placed before you. Maybe you think they are there because the constitution demands they be there, and not because you are supposed to use them. And if you do try to use them, dinner will turn into a suicide attempt after you end up stabbi...

It is great to have a beautiful brain.

The only genuine fundi is also, the most famous man to have graced the earth. The original Fundi Wa Mbao. It is not his fundiness that made him famous though. History records no client that ever said this about him, “Aki si Jesus makes great couches.” He was a fundi because his (earthly) father was a fundi. So even the most genuine fundi to have graced the earth was not even a fundi. Which goes to...

Nairobi is a cacophony of players. Your boyfriend has a girlfriend who has a girlfriend that has a boyfriend. That, or your mama is my mama who is not my main mama. Those are not the players we talked about or the players we met on this episode. We had Lisa & ..... From Igiza , one of Nairobi's finest thespians. We may have talked about the other players in Nairobi you know, your mama is my mama t...

Nairobi is the ultimate stage of the national drama festival. I mean, look at the drama that is happening in this city. If your girlfriend does not have another boyfriend to do what you have failed to do as a boyfriend, she has a girlfriend to do what you can't do as a boyfriend. It is sad but it is true. Little wonder that all top performers at schools drama and music festivals settle in this sin...

I love how in movies when a woman is distraught and her friends hurdle around her, asking what the matter is, she will say, "Mark is cheating on me," and her friends will all gasp, suddenly unable to breathe. "Oh, my God, Emma, we are so sorry. Are you okay?" Emma, devastated, will start crying and her friends will cry with her and one will offer to organize goons to beat up Mark. It's laughable,...

Do you remember Pepe Minambo? Peoeo Minambo who lied to us that we could be anything we wanted to be. Ah Pepe Minambo. Pepe's pep talks could make you leave what you're doing and start pushing a storey building hoping it'd move because you 'believe in yourself'. If you were preached by Pepe Minambo you don’t need TD Jakes. Ah let me say it again. If you came across Pepe Minambo you DO NOT NEED TD...

If you have not gone to a multilevel marketing induction meeting, you are either very rich or very unbothered about becoming rich. Ndugu, came to Nairobi to look for wealth. We will not say much, we will let facts speak for themselves. Eddy, had dreams of becoming the next Willies. We will leave it to you to decide which Willies we are talking about. He is a Podcaster today. Which is to say, his d...

Have you ever been forgiven without conditions?

Thank you for coming to the live show.

A man that has three phones is a conman. Or a Podcaster. Ndugu has three, which explains why he is always busy. He is not busy because he has three phones. He is busy and therefore he has three phones. Brian called us 12 hours before we went to the studio to record this episode to tell us that he wouldn't make it. We asked him if he had an emergency he said he had one. The emergency was a hike. Na...

Your first house is better than your first love because your first house, unlike your first love, will not leave you. If anything, you are the one who will leave your first house and it will not hold its waist and sneer at you, swearing, "You will never find a better house than me," because even it knows you will easily find a better house than it. Chances are it will be the worst house you will e...

These men just love to simp

So there is this girl... No we won't start the podcast this way. We also can't promise to not start the podcast this way. Somehow all podcasts have a moment they have to say, “so there is this girl...” And here is our moment. So there is this girl... Anyway on this episode we didn't have a girl that we talked about. Okay we had. But the girl is not known to any of us. So it is not a podcast kind o...

Do you know the role of the National Tax Payers Association? Well tune in and find out in this exclusive interview with them. (By the way, we filed our taxes just before the show. But they don't know that!)

You think you are a writer then a writer who is not a full-time writer walks to your studio and say, almost casually, “I have written 19 books in total.” First of all, Kinyanjui Kombani came from. Singapore for this episode. It is not true that it is the only reason he traveled to Kenya, but it is true that when he traveled to Kenya he came to to studio. We know you are about to say you missed us,...

For the last one month it's been difficult getting the three of us on thd Podcast because Wanama Wa Podcast are plucking us one by one. Starts with a thigh on Eddy's neck, followed by an absent with apology. Then it's Brian calling to say he is moving house and won't be around for the recording, yet in the background, someone is saying, "Haki you wanted to kill me, wueh!" Then it's Ndugu stuck in...

Brian wanted to be a pastor once. Yeah, that's right. But to be a pastor, especially in this country, you first have to have a name that sounds like the name of a pastor and Brian is not a pastorlike name. Everyone called Brian in this country has two options, to behave like Brian and confirm everyone's suspicions. Or to behave unlike Brian and confirm everyone's suspicions. So Brian left the call...

In primary school and I think high school too, the entrée to stardom and veneration was joining the arts. Music, poetry, solo verses, choral verses and all that fiefdom. It was the textbook definition of arriving. It afforded you the great chance to go out of the school to meet represent your school and meet your crushes. Mostly to meet your crushes. Nobody had that great sense of school patriotis...

It is like the first day in a new job—a creative's journey—you hurtle through it like shards piercing the air in an explosion. You start by imagining that you will fill a stadium, or that your art will be displayed in world galleries, or that your writing will win you a Nobel Peace Prize. You know what they tell you, work hard. Be consistent. What they don't say is that, working hard is hard. Hard...

If you are listening to this over Diwali, just know you are problem!

I spent the better part of Friday night on phone with Eddy, assuring him that even though he is poor he is still a child of God. His breakdown was as a result of us hosting Amos of Money Matters, who was talking about millions like Ndugu talks about his tea. He in fact was not calling them millions but Mics. "So I had like 15 mics in my account and..." Amos would say, and suddenly Eddy's Spirit wo...

In these days of great trials, everyone is looking for healing. Some from love heartbreaks, some from Facebook chama losses, others from election losses, some from cryptocurrency losses-ha ha. We are just but broken people and the thread that stitches us together seem to be the places we go, to escape. It could be a place-for Ndugu-a story for another day. Or avoidance- for Brian. Or blocking peop...
