It is tempting to think of seasons in terms of mangos. In fact whenever people say they are in a certain season, I like to ask but I don't get to, if those people are mangoes. But it is pointless to ask a human if they are a mango unless you want to squeeze them for juice which is not what happened in this episode.
Disclaimer: NOBODY WAS HURT DURING THE RECORDING LF THIS EPISODE.
We had a young man in the studio, arguably the youngest guest we've ever had. He spoke about his life in seasons. The way deep hippies do.“I am in this season of my life...”
Although he did not get to sing on air, we believe he is a great musician. That is what we do. We believe in people.
Look at us believing in Brian's music career even even his own relatives said “Brian wewe ni kijana wetu, lakini hakuna mwimbaji hapa,” a long time ago.
Anyway, the young man is an emperor with high flying dreams. The pun here is fully intended because he is in aviation school, flying his dreams of becoming a pilot. We wish him well.
He keeps an afro that he combs to the front. A proper Gen Z with opinions and a zodiac sign he swears by.
He thought Brian was 47, as at the time of shooting this episode which we wish to clarify. The high flying emperor understated Brian's age. We all know Brian has been alive since the days of the other Emperor. His imperial majesty Emperor Haile Selassie. Not our story for today though.
We felt younger going through his present troubles. Things we may or may have not gone through at least ten years past. Again not the story.
In this episode, we concured that women will wait until it is 2AM to send you a winding breakup text. The line, “it it not you it is me,” sticking out like a sour pimple.
At 2 AM, the cock is yet to crow three times for Peter to deny Jesus. At 2 AM, they haven't even thought of adding extra taxes to our already thinning incomes. At 2 AM, even the devil is asleep. Which begs the question, “why do they wait until 2 AM to break up with you through a text?
Anyway, no man is fully a man until that text waltzes on your screen. And when it does, you have two options, either call her and ask her, kwani ulimkosea nini or wear the pants properly and swim across the pond and find another one that will probably leave you at 2AM.
It is hard being a man. But being hard is not all that is being a man(kisungu tupu)!
Our guest navigated the heartbreak well. He even wrote a song about it. Which is akin to coming full circle for this love thing. You start by sharing music, then you end up creating music for a (the) lost cause.
To all of you nursing heartbreaks this month of love, write a song. It will feel lighter in your heart.
Ladies and gentlemen, episode 3 of season 8! Listen in.
