What A Joke

Look, if a goat ever introduces itself as “Commander of the Northern Armies,” just leave. Don’t ask questions. Don’t wait for subtitles. Just… leave.

Anyway—

This episode picks up right where the foolishness peaks. The goats have multiplied, organized, unionized, and somehow declared themselves landlords of the Galápagos Islands. What started as a handful of abandoned livestock has escalated into one of the most absurd ecological battles ever fought, and we’re documenting every wild moment.

We travel through decades of destruction, scientists losing their minds, park rangers chasing goats up volcanoes, military generals refusing to be threatened by livestock, and the legendary rise (and mysterious disappearance) of Maximus Goátimus Meridius. Yes, the one who speaks through a diplomat fluent in Pig and Goat Latin.

From helicopter raids to the betrayal of the Judas Goats, from the Tortoise Summit of 1995 to the final eradication campaign, this is the fully unhinged chronicle of a war the world pretends never happened.

Welcome to the finale of the Galapagoat saga.

Apparently, the entire ecological collapse of the Galápagos Islands started because some pirates were hungry and forgot to pack food when travelling. Yes. That’s genuinely the inciting incident of this episode.

Anyway—

In this chaotic, mockumentary-style dive, we trace how a volcanic archipelago went from “accidental punishment island” to the stage where the goats begin their quiet, innocent march toward becoming a full-blown ecological menace.

We meet pirates who never should’ve had livestock privileges, a bishop who did not mince words about how much he hated the place, Charles Darwin spiraling into an existential crisis because the birds were stressing him, and the blue-footed boobies who genuinely didn’t ask to be part of all this.

This is where the saga begins, the origin story that sets up one of history’s most unnecessary wars. A war between man, nature, and goats who really should’ve just minded their business.

Welcome to the beginning of the Great Galapagoat War.

Skill Issue is a comedy documentary about why people hate being bad, and how we evolved to blame ourselves for everything.

This episode does exactly what no one asked for — it investigates why two words have taken over gaming, group chats, offices, family dinners, and that one friend who blames “network” for everything.

Why listen?

Because the world is on fire, but laughing at your own incompetence is free.
Because you’ll learn something weird and almost useful.
And because deep down… you know the problem might actually be you.

History. Boring, right?
Well that's the history you're used to, but on What a Joke, we KNOW our history... or do we?

On the sequel to our uncritically unacclaimed game show episode 'Know Your History', we have two new guests playing to win absolutely nothing!

It's absolutely hilarious.

Miss me?
(Is that even a question?)

This might come as a shock to some of you, but no, the podcast is still running, and while this isn't the start of the new season. It's somewhere around the corner.

Earlier this year, we celebrated the 4th year of the show going live with a live listening party in Lagos, Nigeria. If you weren't there, here's a teeny weeny sample of the awesomeness you missed!

(PS: Catch me at Ouida's open mic night this thursday if you're on the Lagos mainland!)
