00:00:06
Speaker 2: Hello.
00:00:07
Speaker 3: Let me stretch. That felt good. It was a long weekend.
00:00:10
Speaker 1: That felt really, really good.
00:00:12
Speaker 2: Good, but also so needed.
00:00:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: I needed that little recharge.
00:00:15
Speaker 3: So that means we finish off the last quarter strong.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:00:20
Speaker 2: Now we can go.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: As we almost enter October.
00:00:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:00:23
Speaker 3: No excuses.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: Come Friday, I was like, what day are we on?
00:00:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: Isn't that the best feeling? Yeah.
00:00:29
Speaker 1: It felt almost like the COVID vibes.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: Oh, but with only the good stuff.
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this was fantastic.
00:00:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:00:38
Speaker 1: Brilliant. So here we are again, another week, and there are no more public holidays till Christmas. That's it.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: Gone.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Done. Nada.
00:00:46
Speaker 6: Speaking of Christmas, I see the shops really are getting ready for the festive season.
00:00:53
Speaker 7: And people are already starting to plan like their Christmas lunch, what the menu's going to be, what presents they're going to get family members.
00:01:00
Speaker 6: If you haven't started, you're already behind. No, guys, can we relax? It's not even October yet.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: But we still have one more holiday.
00:01:08
Speaker 1: Well, that's voting day, right?
00:01:10
Speaker 2: 16 December, besides the 4th of November.
00:01:12
Speaker 1: No, that doesn't count.
00:01:13
Speaker 3: No, December's December, Vanya.
00:01:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, and also voting is not a holiday, guys.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: Exactly.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: We've got work to do.
00:01:19
Speaker 3: We've got work to do.
00:01:20
Speaker 8: Mmm.
00:01:21
Speaker 1: Mmm. Yeah, true that. Yeah. Mmm. Yeah, 16th doesn't count, Vanessa. Anything from 1 December is a holiday.
00:01:30
Speaker 2: It's already the big days.
00:01:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we don't count. We're on holiday anyways. Work is just, what, a Facebook session.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: It's a suggestion.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to do Monday properly. Let's do that. School holidays as well. Yeah, for the next what? Six weeks.
00:01:50
Speaker 6: Why don't you sound excited, hey?
00:01:53
Speaker 1: No, no.
00:01:55
Speaker 7: How amazing to have your bundles of joy at home all day, every day.
00:02:01
Speaker 2: For the next week and a bit.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: And rest and enjoy to all of the teachers. You've worked very hard.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: Beautiful. Of course. Let's start the show.
00:02:11
Speaker 3: Good morning. From Darren, Sherlyn and Sibi.
00:02:17
Speaker 8: Good morning.
00:02:19
Speaker 7: From the world's greatest city, good morning.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: From the mountains to the beach, good morning. Gorgeous, I'm talking to you.
00:02:35
Speaker 9: KFM Mornings, it's time to rise.
00:02:40
Speaker 3: KFM Mornings, we're South Africa's number one.
00:02:46
Speaker 8: KFM mornings, it might be dark outside.
00:02:52
Speaker 7: KFM mornings, it's now time to shine.
00:03:08
Speaker 2: Good morning.
00:03:10
Speaker 1: Okay, by the way, some good news. There won't be Monday Mass today. School holidays. We fall in line with the school holidays.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: Sure, and this morning, I was going to be so ready for you.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: Oh, were you? Okay. Well, we've got 20K Pop Quiz, though, brought to you by Suzuki.
00:03:29
Speaker 2: Would you like a clue?
00:03:32
Speaker 1: Yes, please, ma'am.
00:03:33
Speaker 6: Okay, who was named Artist of the Year.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: At the 2026 VMAs? Artist of the Year.
00:03:43
Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo.
00:03:44
Speaker 6: This artist said they were told their career was over. And in 2026, they won the big prize. Artist of the Year at the MTV VMAs.
00:03:57
Speaker 1: Did they have a hit this year?
00:04:00
Speaker 2: They did.
00:04:00
Speaker 1: Madonna, Madonna, Madonna.
00:04:02
Speaker 6: And as part of a speech, she said someone told her my career was over.
00:04:08
Speaker 2: And what a story. Baby's back. Baby's been back.
00:04:12
Speaker 3: Madonna can never be over. She's done too much.
00:04:15
Speaker 2: The queen of reinvention.
00:04:17
Speaker 3: Has given us too much to be over.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: No, she's always there. Yes. Doesn't have to be releasing a new hit every year.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: The music is always there.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. I see there was a new record broken for the greatest number one song of all time. We'll get to that a bit later on.
00:04:36
Speaker 6: Okay. Is that the one that dethroned Mariah Carey?
00:04:40
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey's long-standing record.
00:04:42
Speaker 7: Now, when you say greatest song of all time as opposed to longest running number one, I feel as though there's a difference between those statements.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Longest running number one.
00:04:54
Speaker 2: Who knew this day would come?
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a record that hasn't been broken for many, many years.
00:05:01
Speaker 7: And of course, Mariah's always in the picture because every time Christmas comes, she spends a couple of weeks on the charts. So she'll probably then get back on top at some point.
00:05:11
Speaker 1: No, she only spends for a couple of weeks on the charts now. This was when it was initially released. She had that long run on top of the charts.
00:05:19
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:05:20
Speaker 1: Okay. So Madonna is your answer. What is her real name? Sikone.
00:05:27
Speaker 2: That's her surname, right?
00:05:28
Speaker 1: Sikone, yeah. Is her first name actually Madonna?
00:05:30
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:05:31
Speaker 3: No.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: I knew this once upon a time.
00:05:32
Speaker 7: Yes, it's like Lady Gaga's name. It's like Gaga on the birth certificate. Why did I thought she was born Madonna?
00:05:40
Speaker 3: Powerful.
00:05:42
Speaker 2: I mean, the name of a star.
00:05:43
Speaker 3: Oh, it is Madonna.
00:05:44
Speaker 1: Is it really?
00:05:44
Speaker 3: Yes, Madonna. Madonna Louise.
00:05:47
Speaker 1: Madonna Louise. Madonna Louise.
00:05:49
Speaker 3: Oh, then she was destined to be a star.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: Madonna. Her parents knew.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: And Lady Gaga, it's not her real name.
00:05:56
Speaker 3: No, no.
00:05:57
Speaker 6: Lady Gaga was influenced by a Queen song, Radio Gaga.
00:06:02
Speaker 2: That's how she got her name.
00:06:03
Speaker 6: Right, right.
00:06:04
Speaker 3: Stephanie, hey.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: And you know what Drake's real name?
00:06:07
Speaker 2: Germanotta, Anne.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephanie Germanotta. Yes. You know what Drake's real name is?
00:06:11
Speaker 3: Aubrey, yeah.
00:06:12
Speaker 1: Aubrey. He absolutely hates that.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: How unfortunate.
00:06:17
Speaker 1: He was a private schooled. Aubrey Graham.
00:06:20
Speaker 8: Orbs.
00:06:21
Speaker 3: Orbs. I knew that. I just can't get over it.
00:06:23
Speaker 6: Aubrey.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: He really wants those street cred points. Yeah. Like all the rappers. But here comes Aubrey Graham.
00:06:34
Speaker 3: Here comes the orbs.
00:06:39
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you want to play this morning for 20k with the 20k pop quiz brought to you by Suzuki, pop the details on our WhatsApp telephone.

00:07:06
Speaker 2: Finally.
00:07:07
Speaker 1: Just rest.
00:07:08

It is brought to you by the Capitec credit card, Bank on Better credit card for travel. So your weather today, Cape Town, 24 degrees. It says there's a southeaster blowing at 19 Ks. I don't believe that to be true. It seems almost gale force out there.
00:07:47
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:07:47
Speaker 1: We're now popped in through work.
00:07:50
Speaker 3: Very much so.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: The front door, the front glass door slammed. I thought it had broken.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of wind today.
00:07:57
Speaker 7: I wasn't woken up by my alarm. I was woken up by the howling wind.
00:08:02
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:08:03
Speaker 1: Well, the wind is going to sort of subside tomorrow. Today, the temperature, what did I say, 24. Tomorrow for Cape Town, the temperature goes up to 28.
00:08:14
Speaker 7: Wednesday.
00:08:16
Speaker 1: We're going to hit 34 degrees. Sure. 34 degrees. Thursday, 27 degrees. We've got quite a warm week ahead of us. Elsewhere today, Stellenbosch, Paul, 25, 26, Worcester, 23, Otsu, 19, George, Nisnepleet, the entire Garden Route. We've got 18 degrees there today. Garden Route looking good for the rest of the week. It's going to get warmer. Wednesday, you've got 25. Thursday, 32 degrees. That is your weather forecast brought to you by the Capitec credit card. So let me tell you that. Spend 5,000 Rand or more on the Capitec credit card until 31 October. And you could win a trip to Singapore for two, plus get 24 free airport lounge visits a year when purchasing flight tickets for 1,500 Rand or more. with your Capitec credit card and enjoy no currency conversion fees, free travel insurance when booking return flights, and 1% cash back on your Capitec credit card spend.

Rugby game on Sunday, the score ended up being so close, 42-38.
00:09:45
Speaker 7: A lot of people had given up when I think Australia had pulled away massively.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: Well, you see, I was watching with my father-in-law.
00:09:52
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:09:53
Speaker 1: And at the 63rd minute, he switched the TV off and that was it. He's seen enough.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: I saw us.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: I saw us 42-17. And he was like, that's it, boom, and he switched it off. TV not going back on.
00:10:06
Speaker 7: No, but you must know when the Springboks are involved, oh, there's always a chance. They're not back-to-back world champs for nothing.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:10:14
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, we made a mistake at the end and we couldn't get over the line.
00:10:19
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: So at one point with only 11 Aussies on the field. Yes.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: Yeah. Not many. And they were ahead 42-17 at some point. Sure.
00:10:32
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:10:33
Speaker 3: So I see why the TV was switched off.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. On the 63rd minute, it went 42-17. And that's it. So that's how if I'm watching with him.
00:10:43
Speaker 8: Yes.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: And if Portugal are playing soccer and they go 2-0 down, boom, TV's off.
00:10:50
Speaker 2: Very strict.
00:10:51
Speaker 1: It's gone.
00:10:51
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:10:52
Speaker 7: For me, ever since the 4-3-8 game, when the Proteus beat Australia.
00:10:56
Speaker 1: For the cricket, yeah.
00:10:58
Speaker 7: I will always stay till the end. Because I think about those people who left the stadium.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: During that game and missed that finale.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Were you there at that game?
00:11:07
Speaker 3: I wasn't. I watched it on TV.
00:11:08
Speaker 1: I was at that game.
00:11:09
Speaker 3: But I was able to kind of dip in and out, you know?
00:11:12
Speaker 1: I was at that game. And there was literally half the people left. But some people had left... gone home, hearing the buzz.
00:11:21
Speaker 6: Came back.
00:11:21
Speaker 1: They got in the car and they came back, yeah, for the last sort of half an hour.
00:11:26
Speaker 9: Wow.
00:11:27
Speaker 3: And it was that serious.
00:11:29
Speaker 1: It was a great day of cricket. Yeah. Okay, so we've got your 20K Pop Quiz coming up in just a little bit. If you want to play this morning, 082-945-0940. 20,000 bucks on the table, courtesy of Suzuki. It could be yours. Just like that.

00:11:55
Speaker 2: I say this always, every morning. It's doable. Come get your money. But you're going to have to do some work.
00:12:01
Speaker 6: I thought you were going to fish for a second clue.
00:12:03
Speaker 5: No.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: No, no. The Sadiq law applies. Okay, so you're at the wrong end of the contest this year. But we'll see how long.

00:12:21
Speaker 2: He's trying very hard.
00:12:23

00:13:32
Speaker 10: Hi, good morning, Darren. Good morning, KSM.
00:13:36
Speaker 12: Morning.
00:13:38
Speaker 3: How are you guys?
00:13:39
Speaker 1: Very well, Kirsten. Good, good, good. So you're an Uber driver?
00:13:44
Speaker 10: Yes, that's correct.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: Okay. Did you see the new technology that they're already piloting in Uber America? Because a lot of people are sending their kids to school in an Uber now, globally.
00:14:01
Speaker 10: Yes, in the electrical vehicles.
00:14:03
Speaker 8: Yes.
00:14:04
Speaker 1: Do you take a lot of school kids?
00:14:09
Speaker 10: Mostly from school, but not in the mornings.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: On the way back?
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Probably after sports practice.
00:14:16
Speaker 1: And things like that. Okay. So what they're piloting now is they're doing it in 10 states in the USA and then hopefully expand it globally once they iron out any little problems. Is that camera on your phone, Kirsten, will be switched on and streamed live to the parents the whole journey?
00:14:43
Speaker 7: Oh, like a dash cam of sorts.
00:14:46
Speaker 3: Sure.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: The future is here.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which I think is fantastic. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant idea with school kids. So it'll be, I don't know, somehow linked to the parent's account and then boom.
00:15:00
Speaker 3: Maybe the trip won't start then if that thing is off.
00:15:04
Speaker 6: I don't know.
00:15:04
Speaker 1: How do you police that? I think it's an opt-in sort of thing, but you will literally, as the parent on the other side, switch it on and they're, You can see exactly what's happening. So, okay. Kirsten, good luck, my man.
00:15:19
Speaker 10: No problem. Thank you very much.
00:15:21
Speaker 1: Your qualifying question, true or false, servicing your Suzuki at a Suzuki dealer can give you peace of mind?
00:15:27
Speaker 10: 100% correct.
00:15:29

Speaker 10: Ah, I just got Saturday a 20 rand.
00:15:47
Speaker 12: Ah, no.
00:15:48

Speaker 2: So in this economy, hey, it's very.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: Telling, Kirsten.
00:15:53
Speaker 9: Yes, yes.
00:15:53
Speaker 10: I don't like tips, but yeah.
00:15:56
Speaker 1: But you know what? Whenever I look, I only use Uber if I'm traveling, you know, like if I'm going to Joburg airport run. And then the only time I see to give the driver a tip is the very next time I open Uber. Not the last time I used Uber.
00:16:15
Speaker 3: Two months later.
00:16:15
Speaker 1: It could be two months later. And I forgot. 20 bucks? Nah. Nah. It's over.
00:16:21
Speaker 3: What was that trip like, actually?
00:16:22
Speaker 1: I forget. Okay.
00:16:25
Speaker 10: We had a deep conversation in the cloud and this felt very safe.

Speaker 1: You do. Well, look, which animal has varieties called the bottlenose and spinner? That's the dolphin. SPF stands for sun protection factor. Finn and the human and Jake the dog are animated characters from Adventure Time. Is that a new cartoon?
00:18:41
Speaker 7: You see, I'm not familiar with Adventure Time.
00:18:45
Speaker 3: I'm still on Bluey.
00:18:46
Speaker 6: Also not something that I've watched, but it popped up. And apparently Adventure Time has become one of Cartoon Network's most popular series of all time.
00:18:57
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:18:58
Speaker 6: So we might not be watching, but it's being watched. Okay.
00:19:03
Speaker 1: And in what country was Celine Dion born? There was a good guess with France. But no, it's Canada.
00:19:10
Speaker 3: Canada.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: She's considered French-Canadian. And commotion, C-O-M-M-O-T-I-O-N. So that is 800 Rand, but it'll be 1,400 Rand minimum tank of fuel there for you.
00:19:28
Speaker 3: That's a nice tip, yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker 10: Thank you very much, guys. Thanks, Kristen.
00:19:34
Speaker 2: Thanks for paying.
00:19:35
Speaker 1: Listen, being an Uber, how long does a tank of fuel last you?
00:19:40
Speaker 10: Yeah, two days maybe. It depends on how much trips I do because we do drive a lot. We drive to Cape Town, drive to Strand, drive to Wellington.
00:19:50
Speaker 3: Sure.
00:19:51
Speaker 10: Fuel goes quick and it's expensive.
00:19:54
Speaker 6: And Kirsten, what's the average weight between your trips?
00:19:59
Speaker 10: Weight between the trips?
00:20:02
Speaker 2: Like, are you busy or do you have to wait a long time?
00:20:06
Speaker 10: We're quite busy, but we're just picky because we're off.
00:20:12
Speaker 3: I've seen some of the dash cam footage. It's terrible.
00:20:23
Speaker 2: You guys really are putting your lives on the line. Be safe out there.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: Kirsten, can you see before you accept a trip what the final destination is?
00:20:34
Speaker 10: Yes, we can. And we can also see the amount of trips the person did before. So it's very important to watch. But if it's like a new rider, we won't easily accept it because it's the guys who take chances and stuff like that with us, all the drivers.
00:20:48
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
00:20:49
Speaker 13: Okay.
00:20:50
Speaker 3: Interesting.
00:20:51
Speaker 1: Well, be safe there, man.
00:20:53
Speaker 5: I will.
00:20:53
Speaker 10: Thank you.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: Sure, Kirsten.
00:20:55
Speaker 1: All right, Kirsten. Take care, brother. Bye-bye.
00:20:58
Speaker 3: Bye. Cheers.
00:20:59
Speaker 1: Bye-bye.
00:21:00
Speaker 5: And you.
00:21:02
Speaker 1: Okay, so your Monday motivation. Here is your little happy ball. Have you heard of a guy? Maybe he's come across your social media feed. Charlie Rocket.
00:21:12
Speaker 7: No.
00:21:12
Speaker 2: Do not know Mr.
00:21:13
Speaker 1: Rocket. Perhaps you don't know him by name, but you might recognize his voice. Very distinctive voice. So Charlie Rocket, he's got a very interesting backstory. He became like a music mogul, made quite a few rappers, managed them, made them stars, got them signed, managed their careers. And then he got a brain tumor. And he was balling, became a multi-multi-millionaire from the music industry. And then he got a brain tumor and then he decided, okay, well, I'm not into this anymore. There's more to life than working. He'd made his money. And then he went and he started doing Ironman and he ran multiple marathons.
00:21:58
Speaker 3: Slow down, Charlie.
00:22:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow. He bicycled across America. And then he became sponsored by Nike as a Nike athlete.
00:22:08
Speaker 2: Sure.
00:22:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know what's so interesting? How he got into music. If you don't know this part of the story. So he was at school. And you know all these magazines... that used to read as like a 16-year-old. Sweet 16 and all these magazines.
00:22:26
Speaker 3: 17 magazines.
00:22:27
Speaker 1: 17, that's what it is.
00:22:28
Speaker 2: Sweet 16.
00:22:29
Speaker 3: Sweet 16.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: Sweet 16, whatever. I remember at 16, I used to buy the Top 40 magazine.
00:22:36
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:22:36
Speaker 1: There was a magazine called Top 40. Do you remember that magazine? And that was like such a cool magazine. So there were one of those sorts of magazines around. He was at school and there were these three girls and he was a very shy guy. So he was sitting there in the canteen And they said, hey, Charlie, do you recognize this guy? And they pointed to a rapper. And he was like, never heard of him. And then he says they laughed at him because he was so uncool because he didn't know who the latest rapper was. And he said that stuck with him his whole life.
00:23:10
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:23:11
Speaker 1: And then he said, you know what? To get back at these girls, I'm going to own this industry. Sure.
00:23:18
Speaker 13: Oh.
00:23:19
Speaker 1: And that's the only reason why he got into rap music. And there he'd signed like 10 of the greatest artists at the time.
00:23:26
Speaker 3: Sometimes pettiness is a good reason.
00:23:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:23:28
Speaker 2: I'm going to show you.
00:23:30
Speaker 1: So you'll see him now. Now he's on the speaking circuit and he just says so many good things. So this bit he says, life is only as good as your ability to see how good it is.
00:23:44
Speaker 9: I'll give you $ 100 if you tell me how many red cars there are.
00:23:47
Speaker 3: You have three seconds.
00:23:48
Speaker 12: Okay.
00:23:51
Speaker 9: Did you find him?
00:23:52
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:23:52
Speaker 3: Well, that's not actually the test.
00:23:54
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:23:55
Speaker 9: Because the real test is, did you see the purple little monster?
00:23:59
Speaker 7: Bruh.
00:24:00
Speaker 9: There are 11 million bits of information hitting your brain right now, and you're only conscious of about 50.
00:24:06
Speaker 6: Why?
00:24:07
Speaker 9: Your brain has to filter almost everything out to prioritize what seems important to you. You buy a car, and suddenly, like magic, they appear everywhere. This is where it gets dangerous. Your brain finds what it's looking for. So be careful what you train it to see. Every morning before our feet hit the ground, we usually think, I didn't get enough sleep. I don't have enough energy. I don't have enough time. Every time you repeat not enough, you're teaching your brain, this is what I want you to look for. You see not enough everywhere. Not enough followers. Not enough success. Not enough health. But what if tomorrow morning I paid you $ 1, 000 for every blessing that you found, big or small?
00:24:45
Speaker 3: You'd be rich.
00:24:46
Speaker 9: You would probably start finding every little tiny blessing in your life, wouldn't you?
00:24:50
Speaker 3: Your mom's alive. You slept in a bed. You can walk. You have electricity. You have your health. And you have a friend.
00:24:57
Speaker 9: So remember, life is only as good as your ability to see how.
00:25:01
Speaker 3: Good it is.
00:25:03
Speaker 11: Mmm.
00:25:05
Speaker 2: Sure, that was so good.
00:25:07
Speaker 1: He's a half-glossful guy.
00:25:09
Speaker 6: What a beautiful reminder, that kind of person.
00:25:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:25:12
Speaker 3: That's why I love journaling.
00:25:14
Speaker 7: Because it actually forces you to sit down and practice gratitude. And see your life like a story. You know, and so you're able to appreciate the small details.
00:25:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he says, it's a bunch of small wins.
00:25:29
Speaker 2: And count your blessings.
00:25:30
Speaker 6: And like he says, once you start counting, you almost can't stop.
00:25:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:25:35
Speaker 2: We've got so much to be grateful for.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: Look him up. Charlie Rocket. He's got so much good stuff. Really lands, you know. He's brilliant. Okay. Now this. A lot of people asking, where's Charlie Rocket? Where can we get him? Which platform? He's everywhere. He's on YouTube. You'll find him on the little Instagram one-minute, two-minute clips. Just type in Charlie Rocket. He's absolutely just everywhere. Okay, we've got a message here. Thanks, Charlie and KFM team.
00:26:08
Speaker 4: Thanks, Charlie, for reminding us because there are so much, so much to be grateful for. And yet there are so many of us that wake up with, oh, another day, oh, more problems. And we just forget to celebrate the small successes, to see the small mercies and the blessings that And the good moments, the really good moments in life.
00:26:32
Speaker 1: We forget to savor those. Yeah. We just had a long weekend.
00:26:37
Speaker 2: There are so many good moments.
00:26:39
Speaker 3: Like rest is a gift.
00:26:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:26:41
Speaker 3: You know?
00:26:42
Speaker 1: Think how happy Australia is this week, this weekend.
00:26:45
Speaker 3: Oh, you mean the rugby side?
00:26:47
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:26:47
Speaker 3: Not the cricket side so much.
00:26:48
Speaker 1: And you know what's the sweet victory for me, the sweet takeaway? Is that Australia doesn't care that we beat the Springboks. They really don't watch rugby union.
00:27:02
Speaker 3: Oh, they're more into rugby league.
00:27:05
Speaker 1: Rugby league. They really don't care. You know, they're a cricket first.
00:27:10
Speaker 7: I guarantee you they will start caring if they win another World Cup.
00:27:15
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:27:16
Speaker 3: Funny how that happens, eh?
00:27:17
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:27:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so listen, in music news, so on, when was it?
00:27:23
Speaker 3: Friday.
00:27:25
Speaker 1: Wednesday. We were playing all the South African songs. And I explained to you how the Billboard Hot 100 works. It's the official global chart. Yes, a bit of American bias, but official global chart from all genres that comes into one and they pick what's the best song, all right, of the week, then month, year. So now Mariah Carey was, for the longest time, she held the record of longest running number one. Which is quite an accolade, okay? Because she held that spot for many, many, many, many, many, many years. And she was 22 weeks at number one. But I first want to just walk it back and go number five, right? The fifth longest number one song running consecutively week after week was this song.
00:28:24
Speaker 4: Oh.
00:28:28
Speaker 1: Fourteen weeks at number one.
00:28:31
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:28:42
Speaker 1: She got beat by Little Nas X, which was the fourth longest track. running number one.
00:28:51
Speaker 3: Remember that time?
00:28:52
Speaker 1: It was 19 weeks. So that was number four.
00:28:56
Speaker 3: Joined four, so 3-4.
00:28:58
Speaker 8: And this is an odd one to have reigned supreme for so long at number one for 19 weeks.
00:29:19
Speaker 1: This one, Shaboosie. And this beat, Whitney Houston. Doesn't make sense, eh?
00:29:31
Speaker 2: But we were playing it, eh?
00:29:33
Speaker 3: But Kelly, the country trend. So this was always coming, eh?
00:29:37
Speaker 1: Well, there seems to be a country thread. through all of them, except for obviously Mariah Carey, which was just Christmas vibe. So Mariah Carey was longest running at 22 weeks, so with obviously this one.
00:29:49
Speaker 10: Oh.
00:29:49
Speaker 3: Here we go.
00:29:50
Speaker 1: I don't want a life for Christmas There is just one thing I need And I don't care about It's not time yet. It's not time yet.
00:30:08
Speaker 7: Someone tuned in right as you played that and thought, wow, Darren is playing Christmas carols already?
00:30:13
Speaker 2: A new record.
00:30:15
Speaker 1: Put it back in the Advent calendar. Not yet, Mariah. So Mariah was at 22 weeks. A record that thought would never, ever be broken. At number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Again, For charts around the world, this is the main chart, right? And it's just been beaten now 23 weeks at number one. Again, country vein coming through. It was a commercial success, though. We didn't really play it that much.
00:30:47
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:30:48
Speaker 6: Who beat Mariah Carey?
00:30:50
Speaker 1: Ella Langley. Choose in Texas, Ella Langley here on KFM Mornings. You like? You've heard that before.
00:31:00
Speaker 2: So good. I have not.
00:31:02
Speaker 7: I would not have predicted that it would be the longest running number one song of all time, though, when it came out.
00:31:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:31:08
Speaker 3: But good for her.
00:31:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. There we go.
00:31:10
Speaker 3: Mariah's going to fight in December.
00:31:13
Speaker 1: Listen, so we've got a little contest coming up. We've got 5,000 Rand for you. Now, this might sound odd, but this is the question. How do you use Marmot or Bovril? To create a knockout meal. Is it just toast for you?
00:31:34
Speaker 3: I was about to say, my.
00:31:35
Speaker 7: I'm not diverse in my use of it.
00:31:39
Speaker 1: Am I boring?
00:31:41
Speaker 2: Am I not creative enough? What are we supposed to be doing with the bovril?
00:31:45
Speaker 13: They're those scones also that people bake with. Using the bovril and cheese, they make a scone from scratch.
00:31:53
Speaker 5: Oh, I see.
00:31:53
Speaker 2: Divine. Now I need to try that.
00:31:57
Speaker 1: Bovril on toast with hot melted butter. Oh, that's beautiful. But I'll tell you what my dad used to do. You know my dad's Scottish, right? So my dad used to give me a bovril hot drink in the morning.
00:32:14
Speaker 4: Oh.
00:32:15
Speaker 1: It's a very Scottish tradition.
00:32:16
Speaker 3: How would that work?
00:32:18
Speaker 1: One teaspoon of bovril in hot water, mix, drink and enjoy.
00:32:24
Speaker 2: Oh, that's it?
00:32:25
Speaker 1: It's like a broth.
00:32:26
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:32:27
Speaker 1: It's a hot beef drink in the morning. Beef extract.
00:32:30
Speaker 7: Hey, broths are popular lately, so maybe you need to go back there.
00:32:37
Speaker 1: It's very popular. Like if you go watch a soccer match in Scotland, you can buy Bovril or Marmite as a warm drink.
00:32:46
Speaker 6: Wow.
00:32:47
Speaker 1: They obviously always choose the beer, but there is the option of that.
00:32:51
Speaker 2: Part of the culture.
00:32:52
Speaker 1: And some, some even... Add milk to it.
00:33:00
Speaker 3: That's very chaotic.
00:33:01
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say a shot.
00:33:02
Speaker 1: So you're using the beef extract and then the beef milk.
00:33:08
Speaker 2: Creamy beef milk.
00:33:09
Speaker 1: It's beef milk, yeah.
00:33:12
Speaker 2: Different spin on a chai.
00:33:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:33:15
Speaker 2: Creative.
00:33:15
Speaker 7: After I've had my bone broth and my chicken broth, I'll maybe try the Bovril broth, Darren.
00:33:20
Speaker 3: You know what?
00:33:21
Speaker 1: It's very much like a bone broth.
00:33:23
Speaker 3: Okay.

00:35:06
Speaker 2: Good morning.
00:35:07
Speaker 1: Hello, Sinead. All right, so what's the little secret? Where do you apply this? What do you do with Bovril?
00:35:14
Speaker 12: Okay, so it's a recipe that I haven't completely prepared myself, but I've tried it from a friend who invited us to a bride. So she's more the bold type. She likes experiencing all kinds of food and fuel combination. And she actually tried the Bovril. So she used it as a rub. You use it, you mix it with your dry spices, and you rub it into the steak, and then.
00:35:42
Speaker 10: You take it to a hot pot.
00:35:43
Speaker 12: It was interesting. It's a salty kind of stuff, but it was delicious. It's something bold and new to me.
00:35:53
Speaker 1: Makes sense, using bovril as a rub on steak.
00:35:57
Speaker 3: Okay, rub. I thought wrap.
00:35:59
Speaker 1: No, no, no, as a rub.
00:36:01
Speaker 3: As a rub.
00:36:01
Speaker 10: Now, as.
00:36:03
Speaker 1: Our official chef on the show, Vanis.
00:36:07
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll claim it.
00:36:09
Speaker 1: What do you say to that?
00:36:10
Speaker 13: No, I'm pleasantly surprised. Why didn't I think of that? So not something you've tried before? I haven't, but I so am going to. Sounas, that sounds delicious.
00:36:21
Speaker 2: I can understand that salty. And it's obviously like a paste.
00:36:25
Speaker 3: So a lot of umami flavor. Yes.
00:36:28
Speaker 12: Can I call it an umami bomb? Ooh.
00:36:35
Speaker 3: I love that.
00:36:35
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you got yourself 5,000 rand for your umami bomb recipe there.
00:36:40
Speaker 3: You better share it with your friend.
00:36:41
Speaker 2: Well done.
00:36:45
Speaker 12: Actually, my son, we are on our way somewhere. We have an appointment for him, and he's actually the one who entered me into the show. He's like, no, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in some of him at all.
00:36:59
Speaker 1: Well, you're going to have to now, hey?
00:37:01
Speaker 2: Also, that's a big compliment, eh, when your babies are like, Mom, enter.
00:37:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got a smashing recipe.
00:37:07
Speaker 2: You've got to tell them about it. You've got to tell them about that rub.
00:37:11
Speaker 1: All right, Sinead. Okay, so you got your 5,000 Rand cash, all thanks to Marmite and Bovril.
00:37:18
Speaker 2: Well done.
00:37:19
Speaker 1: Thank you. Cheers, Sinead. So tomorrow, another recipe. Let me tell you, there were a lot of people that came very close this morning. Some close or just gross.
00:37:31
Speaker 2: See, now I'm so intrigued. Now I also want to know one of the gross ones.
00:37:35
Speaker 3: But today was a good start, though.
00:37:37
Speaker 2: A strong start.
00:37:38
Speaker 3: Very good start.
00:37:39
Speaker 2: Very good.
00:37:40
Speaker 1: Another saying I can apply to this context is don't yuck my yum.
00:37:44
Speaker 2: There we go.
00:37:46
Speaker 1: We have got the Senseless Survey coming up after 8 o'clock. And you know the drill there. How many questions will I ask in this morning's Senseless Survey?
00:37:56
Speaker 12: Okay.
00:37:57
Speaker 1: Pop me a guess on 0829450940. So this is something interesting. This is a story I've been following very, very closely. And I've done quite a bit of in-depth research into this. So you know all the horror stories coming out about Ozempic, Ozempic face, Ozempic this, Ozempic that, all the side effects, okay? There's one good side effect, it seems. There is obviously good side effects, but this is one that they've now just sort of recently discovered.
00:38:31
Speaker 3: Obviously, over the obvious.
00:38:32
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:38:33
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:38:34
Speaker 1: So, you know, I mean, there have been many times when they've created a pharmaceutical and it has, like, side effects that they didn't predict, but these are good side effects, not bad side effects. Like, take Viagra, for instance, okay?
00:38:52
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:38:54
Speaker 1: For high blood pressure and angina and then it had that other.
00:38:57
Speaker 2: Happy side effect.
00:38:58
Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Minoxidil. Yes. Minoxidil is actually a high blood pressure medicine as well and the side effect was patients grew hair.
00:39:11
Speaker 3: Hair lines restored.
00:39:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. Botox was never actually for wrinkles.
00:39:19
Speaker 2: What was it for?
00:39:20
Speaker 1: Botox they used.
00:39:23
Speaker 1: It was a groundbreaking fix for people with crossed eyes and eyelid spasm.
00:39:30
Speaker 3: Really?
00:39:31
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:39:31
Speaker 1: And then that's what I was actually removed wrinkles too.
00:39:34
Speaker 7: So this is more about like how vanity then became a priority. Because humble beginnings and then it was like, oh, these things actually help us with our hair loss and Wrinkles.
00:39:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. So this could be one that could absolutely change the game. And they've started with a whole bunch of trials. They've done a test on 600,000 people. So they haven't physically tested these people, but they have monitored them before and after. So coming out of COVID, a lot of people found that they were type 2 diabetic. So a lot of people... Went on sort of Diabetes medications And And some GLP-1 Yeah So they got the diabetes, right? So then they got onto these medications And then they found Well A lot of people that Have addictions This is actually Taking away their addictions to drugs Alcohol Cigarettes What? Yeah Yeah What a great side effect that is. So people addicted to opiates, they found 25% of people got off of it. Their addiction went by taking Ozempic or the like, the GLP-1s. Nicotine, they had a drastic drop of 20% of people. They just gave up. Once they were on the stuff, they're like, don't want any.
00:41:18
Speaker 3: Don't.
00:41:19
Speaker 1: Because it's all about that dopamine hit and it suppresses that.
00:41:23
Speaker 7: And it makes sense because people say one of the main reasons they take GLP-1s is for those food cravings.
00:41:28
Speaker 3: That food noise.
00:41:29
Speaker 1: That dopamine hit, yeah.
00:41:30
Speaker 3: And so it suppresses that.
00:41:32
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:41:32
Speaker 3: So why wouldn't it work actually for other addictions?
00:41:35
Speaker 2: Makes sense.
00:41:37
Speaker 1: What a great side effect that is. So it's had great success with people addicted to alcohol, weed, cocaine. cigarettes, and opiates.
00:41:52
Speaker 7: But then there's also the other side of it where it's not a magic cure. There's still the mental side. So you would have to get help alongside possibly taking that medication.
00:42:02
Speaker 1: But the mental side is the dopamine, right?
00:42:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then it's.
00:42:06
Speaker 7: Also like the root cause, like why these things were addictive in the first place for you.
00:42:13
Speaker 1: So they're now applying quite a lot into exploring this and doing actual testing on drug addicts. They said that it's lowered everything. Overdoses are down. Hospitalizations from overdoses are way down on the people that are taking these GLP-1s.
00:42:36
Speaker 3: Fascinating.
00:42:37
Speaker 1: So there's a good story. Who would have thought? Maybe there's a cure after all, eh? Okay, we've got to do the pollen report very quickly. All right, and it is brought to you by Texa Allergy, the number one non-drowsy antihistamine in South Africa. This week's pollen reading is the overall risk is pretty low.
00:43:01
Speaker 6: So.
00:43:02
Speaker 1: Happy to hear that. That doesn't mean you mustn't get Texa Allergy in your system. Again, once you start sneezing, your eyes are puffy and watering... And then you take, it's too late. All right? You need to get it in. It can be a daily. If you are an allergy sufferer, you know this time of year can wreck your life.
00:43:24
Speaker 3: I'm so vulnerable, man.
00:43:26
Speaker 1: You wake up sneezing, puffy eye, and you just can't get going for the day. You get those black things underneath your eyes.
00:43:34
Speaker 7: I mean, I had a friend who visited me, and I just bought flowers. And the flowers in my place were irritating her the whole time. I said, hi, sister, then clearly home visits are not meant for us. We must be outside in the streets.
00:43:48
Speaker 1: Because, you know, the first thing is that I never was, but only since I moved to Cape Town, I now have allergies, right? And I always like will trace it back to like, oh, I went to your house yesterday.
00:44:06
Speaker 2: How do you do that?
00:44:07
Speaker 1: Your filthy.
00:44:08
Speaker 3: Not the investigation.
00:44:09
Speaker 1: Your filthy dust mite house.
00:44:12
Speaker 3: Oh, not dust mites.
00:44:13
Speaker 1: Dust. Do you ever dust your dirty, rotten abode? And now I'm paying for this for the next three days.
00:44:21
Speaker 3: I just told you, Moss, it was the flowers that I got at the.
00:44:23
Speaker 7: Market because I want to add color to the home.
00:44:27
Speaker 2: You know, maybe it's someone else's perfume. That's just not agreeing with your system.
00:44:31
Speaker 1: It could be all of that, but I'm blaming your house.
00:44:34
Speaker 3: Dust mites.
00:44:35
Speaker 1: You need to clean.
00:44:38
Speaker 3: You see now, we're creating enemies now out of innocent people.
00:44:42
Speaker 1: So please, if you don't clean your house, clean it. So that pollen report is brought to you by Texa Allergy, the number one non-drowsy antihistamine in South Africa. Now listen here. So I was mentioning this before we went into news. And I believe this is a groundbreaking bit of research that I stumbled upon and then did a lot of my own research into this because this isn't blowing up mainstream, but they're just kind of jumping on this now. With Ozempic and one of the great side effects of taking Ozempic is it is reducing people that have drug addictions. It's reducing their craving for the drugs. I mean, could there not be a better thing in this whole world right now apart from curing cancer and all these other dreaded diseases then I mean how many problems start with this with drug addiction how many families are ruined we sit in courthouse all the time 8 out of 10 stories all goes back to drugs and there's all the normal therapies and rehabs and stuff And sometimes it has success and sometimes it doesn't. What if a Zempik is that one thing or the lack of a Zempik that can kill your craving for this stuff?
00:46:18
Speaker 7: That's why I'm saying it has to be a holistic approach because there's so many factors that make someone an addict. You know, root causes, childhood trauma, all kinds of things. And a magic injection is not going to wipe out all of that.
00:46:33
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be great. To pop a pill.
00:46:36
Speaker 3: That's it.
00:46:36
Speaker 2: To pop a pill and then just be cured.
00:46:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot deeper than that.
00:46:42
Speaker 6: But maybe that in conjunction with other means of support.
00:46:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm sure if it is sort of trauma-based, then the drug becomes a form of escapism out of it. Then there the addiction starts.
00:46:56
Speaker 7: And if now you've maybe suppressed this one addiction, there's also a possibility of another addiction kind.
00:47:02
Speaker 3: Of coming to the fore.
00:47:03
Speaker 1: Well, this is curing... That addictive nature, your addiction to anything.
00:47:10
Speaker 6: But now I would want to know, like, what are these people then doing? What do their lives look like now? Because it also can't just be nothingness.
00:47:17
Speaker 1: So this is all science and this is all medicine and stuff that we are not qualified to speak about. I mean, I'm reading this from the learned people in white coats and what they have now recently discovered. But people that were addicts, of alcohol, they found a 20% drop of people that are taking GLP-1s, 20% drop of not needing it anymore, cocaine 20%, cigarettes 20%, and more your pharmaceuticals, your opiates, down 25%.
00:47:53
Speaker 2: That is significant.
00:47:54
Speaker 1: They're still yet to explore all the other drugs. So it's definitely doing something and they are definitely on to something. Definitely on to something. Have a listen to some of these WhatsApps that came in.
00:48:07
Speaker 5: As a GLP user, I can definitely attest to the fact that some things you really are addicted to, just like somewhere along the line, just doesn't work for you anymore. So I love coffee. I absolutely love a good cup of coffee. And for the last two months, I... Love the aroma of the coffee. I love holding the coffee in my hand and two sips in, I am so done.
00:48:34
Speaker 1: So, you know, it's a.
00:48:35
Speaker 5: Good thing and it's a bad thing because I somewhat think that it's robbing me when we join the simple things as well.
00:48:43
Speaker 8: So I've been on a GLP-1 for two years for weight loss purposes as someone who has struggled her whole life with binge eating and food noise and all of that and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:54
Speaker 5: Anyway.
00:48:55
Speaker 8: Last 40 kgs have managed to keep it off. But with regards to, you know, substance abuse, I am someone who pretty socially drank quite a lot of alcohol when I was at a braai and so forth, that kind of thing.
00:49:09
Speaker 3: And the desire for that is pretty much gone.
00:49:11
Speaker 8: Not entirely, but pretty much gone. I drink significantly less. I still enjoy my glass of wine when I braai. at home. But that urge to just drink, drink, drink, go out, that kind of thing socially, it's pretty much gone.
00:49:28
Speaker 2: So I 100% agree with this.
00:49:32
Speaker 8: Wish I could get my husband to be on it, but that's another story. Yeah.
00:49:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a bit of smoke there. There's a bit of smoke. Wait for the fire. All right, Senseless Survey is coming up next.
00:49:46
Speaker 6: KFM Mornings with Darren, Sherlyn, Sibs and you.
00:49:50
Speaker 3: Here we go, here we go.
00:49:52
Speaker 6: Here is another Senseless Survey from Darren Wackhead Simpson on KFM Mornings.
00:49:58
Speaker 2: KFM Mornings.
00:50:00
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, we've loaded up with some great prizes on the Senseless Survey. How's this? You know, we always say that.
00:50:08
Speaker 1: In this world moving towards AR, the one job is not going to be able to replace being a tradesman.
00:50:16
Speaker 2: Working with your hands.
00:50:18
Speaker 1: Plumbing, electrical, all these sorts of things. On this wheel, we've got a full scholarship on offer for either plumbing or electrical worth over 80,000 Rand.
00:50:29
Speaker 3: Sure, sign me up.
00:50:30
Speaker 2: Did you just say full scholarship?
00:50:32
Speaker 1: A full scholarship from New Gen Trade School's. And the intakes in October this year, January, April, July, and also for next year. So it doesn't have to be right now. But if you're thinking of a change of career and you win, this has to go to somebody that wants this.
00:50:52
Speaker 6: You need to be passionate because this could change someone's life.
00:50:56
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah. If you've got a matriculant that is now not sure what they want to do, perhaps this is what they want to do. How's that for a scholarship?
00:51:06
Speaker 10: Sure.
00:51:07
Speaker 1: We've also got 100 litres of diesel.
00:51:10
Speaker 3: Amazing.
00:51:11
Speaker 1: From De Pompstassie.
00:51:12
Speaker 2: Thank you, De Pompstassie. They always come through for us.
00:51:15
Speaker 3: Wheel of joy. Goodness me. We're giving them education, fuel. It's like, what's next?
00:51:20
Speaker 6: And remember, De Pompstassie, they deliver to your door.
00:51:24
Speaker 1: 100 litres. I don't know what the storage legalities are, but did you see some people in Java were storing diesel in their pools?
00:51:32
Speaker 3: No. AI, Darren.
00:51:34
Speaker 2: Preparing for the worst of it.
00:51:37
Speaker 1: In Nepal.
00:51:38
Speaker 3: No.
00:51:39
Speaker 1: What are you talking about AI? This is also South Africa where people have tigers as pets. Like a fully grown tiger that you never knew and broke free. And that's the only reason why we know.
00:51:56
Speaker 3: It's giving apocalypse, eh?
00:51:57
Speaker 1: South Africa, you never, when you see a store in South Africa, you never need to go, is that AI? Because I can guarantee you, more likely it's not AI.
00:52:09
Speaker 3: Fair.
00:52:10
Speaker 1: It's a true story. Okay, so we got that. We got a whole bunch of really, really great prizes to the sort of lash extensions.
00:52:19
Speaker 3: Dining experiences, ice cream for a week.
00:52:22
Speaker 2: Tickets.
00:52:23
Speaker 1: Tickets, Alice.
00:52:24
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:52:24
Speaker 1: You've just got to guess how many questions I will ask on the senseless survey. So, Sherlyn, let me start with you. How many questions?
00:52:32
Speaker 6: 13.
00:52:33
Speaker 1: 13. Sibs?
00:52:35
Speaker 3: Ooh, 11.
00:52:36
Speaker 1: 11. Okay. And Remy is not here today. Producer Brad, how many?
00:52:40
Speaker 3: I'll say 10.
00:52:41
Speaker 4: 10.
00:52:41
Speaker 1: Okay. You're all wrong. Ain't I? I'll say.
00:52:45
Speaker 3: Oh, no plumbing or electrical studies for us, guys. No diesel.
00:52:48
Speaker 7: Going to have to hire the people who know what they're doing.
00:52:51
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
00:52:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:52:52
Speaker 1: Okay. This is where I ask a bunch of random questions. These are ones that I extract from the Madlanga Commission, as you know. I steal my questions from the Madlanga Commission.
00:53:04
Speaker 2: And you'll never run out of material. I mean, there's just so much. There's so much to take from.
00:53:08
Speaker 1: Because at the Madlanga Commission, if you've noticed, you never get a straight answer. So I'm searching for straight answers. Okay.
00:53:18
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:53:20
Speaker 1: Doing the nation's work. You can get straight answers because there's no lawyers. Yeah, true that.
00:53:27
Speaker 7: And if you're wondering when the Midlander Commission will end, they're saying January 2027. So we've still got.
00:53:36
Speaker 3: A while to go. As for Senseless Survey, the end does not exist.
00:53:41
Speaker 1: Yes. So January 2027, if that's what they say, there will be an extension. Don't you worry.
00:53:48
Speaker 2: Another very South African story.
00:53:51
Speaker 1: Because every person that goes up on that stand, they sort of implicate another 15 people that they never heard about.
00:53:59
Speaker 3: It's a whole new chapter now.
00:54:00
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, okay, we've got to follow this lead, that lead, that lead, that lead.
00:54:05
Speaker 9: And then at the end, is anyone going to be prosecuted or is it just to air?
00:54:10
Speaker 1: No, Brad, it's just a TV show.
00:54:11
Speaker 8: Okay.
00:54:12
Speaker 1: Season two. It's just a TV show. We know how these things work here.
00:54:16
Speaker 3: You're asking for too much. What do you want? Accountability?
00:54:18
Speaker 9: No, it's just like we can tell everything that's happened, but like then what?
00:54:22
Speaker 3: No, I'm with you. If no one has to be accountable, then what's the point?
00:54:26
Speaker 1: No, it's just a TV show. It's like Adels. It's not about singing. It's about how good it looks on TV. Okay, so here is this week's senseless survey.
00:54:39
Speaker 11: Good morning.
00:54:40
Speaker 1: Good morning, sir. I'm agent 31962. I'm calling you from the Senseless Bureau. I see about 30 seconds of your time to ask a couple of questions for your country.
00:54:48
Speaker 5: Okay, no problem.
00:54:51
Speaker 1: So, are threesomes only for sex? Or can you join in in a couple's argument as well?
00:54:58
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
00:55:02
Speaker 1: Do you think a piñata is a great way to teach kids that if you continually beat something with a stick... Eventually, you'll get what you want.
00:55:11
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, no.
00:55:17
Speaker 1: So, sir, if 30s is the new 20s, is 9pm the new 12pm?
00:55:22
Speaker 7: I don't know.
00:55:25
Speaker 1: After your funeral, would you like someone to take your phone and WhatsApp everyone, thanks for coming?
00:55:33
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:55:33
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:55:35
Speaker 1: If you think Gen Z do silly things, might I just remind you that in 2010, we were planking.
00:55:43
Speaker 2: No, never did.
00:55:45
Speaker 1: Please describe how milk tastes.
00:55:49
Speaker 4: It tastes like milk.
00:55:51
Speaker 1: Can you just elaborate?
00:55:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, milk is creamy and rich and tastier.
00:56:00
Speaker 12: Creamy, rich and tastier.
00:56:03
Speaker 1: What if fetish is... Or inherited. Blocked from your mom or dad.
00:56:08
Speaker 3: Put it down, sir.
00:56:19
Speaker 2: Put it down.
00:56:20
Speaker 3: I'm entertained, but you're sick. Hang up. I love how he was thoroughly entertained. But that's not nice to think about.
00:56:31
Speaker 1: It isn't, eh?
00:56:33
Speaker 3: Especially if you're afraid.
00:56:34
Speaker 1: Is it hereditary?
00:56:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:56:36
Speaker 2: You're like, mom, is it you? Dad, is it you?
00:56:39
Speaker 3: This foot fetish, where did I get it from?
00:56:43
Speaker 1: Did you like that? No, it's gross, man. Why are you guys taking it there now?
00:56:49
Speaker 3: Darren.
00:56:51
Speaker 2: Darren.
00:56:51
Speaker 3: Darren.
00:56:52
Speaker 7: Remember when you started senseless with like warm-up questions?
00:56:56
Speaker 3: I feel as though now we just.
00:56:58
Speaker 1: We go straight into it. No, it gets progressively darker the longer it goes on.
00:57:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, sometimes you're like, how many put down questions can I cram into one of them?
00:57:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it's all about. So there we go. We got some answers.
00:57:12
Speaker 3: All right.
00:57:14
Speaker 1: Paul and Oates. There we go. And it's a Monday back from a long weekend. And look at it. It's exactly nine o'clock.
00:57:23
Speaker 5: I love it.
00:57:24
Speaker 3: We're back.
00:57:24
Speaker 2: Look at that.
00:57:25
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Lovely being back. We will see you tomorrow at 6 o'clock. Have yourself a wonderful Monday.
Speaker 1: Dracula here on KFM Mornings. It's 10 after 6 o'clock. Good morning and welcome back.
00:00:06
Speaker 2: Hello.
00:00:07
Speaker 3: Let me stretch. That felt good. It was a long weekend.
00:00:10
Speaker 1: That felt really, really good.
00:00:12
Speaker 2: Good, but also so needed.
00:00:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: I needed that little recharge.
00:00:15
Speaker 3: So that means we finish off the last quarter strong.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:00:20
Speaker 2: Now we can go.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: As we almost enter October.
00:00:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:00:23
Speaker 3: No excuses.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: Come Friday, I was like, what day are we on?
00:00:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:00:28
Speaker 3: Isn't that the best feeling? Yeah.
00:00:29
Speaker 1: It felt almost like the COVID vibes.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: Oh, but with only the good stuff.
00:00:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this was fantastic.
00:00:37
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:00:38
Speaker 1: Brilliant. So here we are again, another week, and there are no more public holidays till Christmas. That's it.
00:00:45
Speaker 3: Gone.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Done. Nada.
00:00:46
Speaker 6: Speaking of Christmas, I see the shops really are getting ready for the festive season.
00:00:53
Speaker 7: And people are already starting to plan like their Christmas lunch, what the menu's going to be, what presents they're going to get family members.
00:01:00
Speaker 6: If you haven't started, you're already behind. No, guys, can we relax? It's not even October yet.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: But we still have one more holiday.
00:01:08
Speaker 1: Well, that's voting day, right?
00:01:10
Speaker 2: 16 December, besides the 4th of November.
00:01:12
Speaker 1: No, that doesn't count.
00:01:13
Speaker 3: No, December's December, Vanya.
00:01:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, and also voting is not a holiday, guys.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: Exactly.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: We've got work to do.
00:01:19
Speaker 3: We've got work to do.
00:01:20
Speaker 8: Mmm.
00:01:21
Speaker 1: Mmm. Yeah, true that. Yeah. Mmm. Yeah, 16th doesn't count, Vanessa. Anything from 1 December is a holiday.
00:01:30
Speaker 2: It's already the big days.
00:01:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we don't count. We're on holiday anyways. Work is just, what, a Facebook session.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: It's a suggestion.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to do Monday properly. Let's do that. School holidays as well. Yeah, for the next what? Six weeks.
00:01:50
Speaker 6: Why don't you sound excited, hey?
00:01:53
Speaker 1: No, no.
00:01:55
Speaker 7: How amazing to have your bundles of joy at home all day, every day.
00:02:01
Speaker 2: For the next week and a bit.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:02:03
Speaker 2: And rest and enjoy to all of the teachers. You've worked very hard.
00:02:08
Speaker 1: Beautiful. Of course. Let's start the show.
00:02:11
Speaker 3: Good morning. From Darren, Sherlyn and Sibi.
00:02:17
Speaker 8: Good morning.
00:02:19
Speaker 7: From the world's greatest city, good morning.
00:02:25
Speaker 3: From the mountains to the beach, good morning. Gorgeous, I'm talking to you.
00:02:35
Speaker 9: KFM Mornings, it's time to rise.
00:02:40
Speaker 3: KFM Mornings, we're South Africa's number one.
00:02:46
Speaker 8: KFM mornings, it might be dark outside.
00:02:52
Speaker 7: KFM mornings, it's now time to shine.
00:03:08
Speaker 2: Good morning.
00:03:10
Speaker 1: Okay, by the way, some good news. There won't be Monday Mass today. School holidays. We fall in line with the school holidays.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: Sure, and this morning, I was going to be so ready for you.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: Oh, were you? Okay. Well, we've got 20K Pop Quiz, though, brought to you by Suzuki.
00:03:29
Speaker 2: Would you like a clue?
00:03:32
Speaker 1: Yes, please, ma'am.
00:03:33
Speaker 6: Okay, who was named Artist of the Year.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: At the 2026 VMAs? Artist of the Year.
00:03:43
Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo.
00:03:44
Speaker 6: This artist said they were told their career was over. And in 2026, they won the big prize. Artist of the Year at the MTV VMAs.
00:03:57
Speaker 1: Did they have a hit this year?
00:04:00
Speaker 2: They did.
00:04:00
Speaker 1: Madonna, Madonna, Madonna.
00:04:02
Speaker 6: And as part of a speech, she said someone told her my career was over.
00:04:08
Speaker 2: And what a story. Baby's back. Baby's been back.
00:04:12
Speaker 3: Madonna can never be over. She's done too much.
00:04:15
Speaker 2: The queen of reinvention.
00:04:17
Speaker 3: Has given us too much to be over.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: No, she's always there. Yes. Doesn't have to be releasing a new hit every year.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: The music is always there.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: Yeah. I see there was a new record broken for the greatest number one song of all time. We'll get to that a bit later on.
00:04:36
Speaker 6: Okay. Is that the one that dethroned Mariah Carey?
00:04:40
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey's long-standing record.
00:04:42
Speaker 7: Now, when you say greatest song of all time as opposed to longest running number one, I feel as though there's a difference between those statements.
00:04:49
Speaker 1: Longest running number one.
00:04:54
Speaker 2: Who knew this day would come?
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a record that hasn't been broken for many, many years.
00:05:01
Speaker 7: And of course, Mariah's always in the picture because every time Christmas comes, she spends a couple of weeks on the charts. So she'll probably then get back on top at some point.
00:05:11
Speaker 1: No, she only spends for a couple of weeks on the charts now. This was when it was initially released. She had that long run on top of the charts.
00:05:19
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:05:20
Speaker 1: Okay. So Madonna is your answer. What is her real name? Sikone.
00:05:27
Speaker 2: That's her surname, right?
00:05:28
Speaker 1: Sikone, yeah. Is her first name actually Madonna?
00:05:30
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:05:31
Speaker 3: No.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: I knew this once upon a time.
00:05:32
Speaker 7: Yes, it's like Lady Gaga's name. It's like Gaga on the birth certificate. Why did I thought she was born Madonna?
00:05:40
Speaker 3: Powerful.
00:05:42
Speaker 2: I mean, the name of a star.
00:05:43
Speaker 3: Oh, it is Madonna.
00:05:44
Speaker 1: Is it really?
00:05:44
Speaker 3: Yes, Madonna. Madonna Louise.
00:05:47
Speaker 1: Madonna Louise. Madonna Louise.
00:05:49
Speaker 3: Oh, then she was destined to be a star.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: Madonna. Her parents knew.
00:05:54
Speaker 1: And Lady Gaga, it's not her real name.
00:05:56
Speaker 3: No, no.
00:05:57
Speaker 6: Lady Gaga was influenced by a Queen song, Radio Gaga.
00:06:02
Speaker 2: That's how she got her name.
00:06:03
Speaker 6: Right, right.
00:06:04
Speaker 3: Stephanie, hey.
00:06:05
Speaker 1: And you know what Drake's real name?
00:06:07
Speaker 2: Germanotta, Anne.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephanie Germanotta. Yes. You know what Drake's real name is?
00:06:11
Speaker 3: Aubrey, yeah.
00:06:12
Speaker 1: Aubrey. He absolutely hates that.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: How unfortunate.
00:06:17
Speaker 1: He was a private schooled. Aubrey Graham.
00:06:20
Speaker 8: Orbs.
00:06:21
Speaker 3: Orbs. I knew that. I just can't get over it.
00:06:23
Speaker 6: Aubrey.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: He really wants those street cred points. Yeah. Like all the rappers. But here comes Aubrey Graham.
00:06:34
Speaker 3: Here comes the orbs.
00:06:39
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you want to play this morning for 20k with the 20k pop quiz brought to you by Suzuki, pop the details on our WhatsApp telephone.

00:07:01
Speaker 1: So, you two ladies are battling it out today, eh? I've been knocked off my perch.
00:07:06
Speaker 2: Finally.
00:07:07
Speaker 1: Just rest.
00:07:08
Speaker 2: Because it's been so long.
00:07:10
Speaker 6: I don't even know what it feels like playing you anymore.
00:07:13
Speaker 3: Every day we had to fight. Finally.
00:07:18
Speaker 2: Thank you, Paradise Road. Thank you.
00:07:20
Speaker 1: I'll get my pom-poms and cheer from the sidelines at five to nine o'clock. Yes. Let's have a look at your weather forecast. It is brought to you by the Capitec credit card, Bank on Better credit card for travel. So your weather today, Cape Town, 24 degrees. It says there's a southeaster blowing at 19 Ks. I don't believe that to be true. It seems almost gale force out there.
00:07:47
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:07:47
Speaker 1: We're now popped in through work.
00:07:50
Speaker 3: Very much so.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: The front door, the front glass door slammed. I thought it had broken.
00:07:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of wind today.
00:07:57
Speaker 7: I wasn't woken up by my alarm. I was woken up by the howling wind.
00:08:02
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:08:03
Speaker 1: Well, the wind is going to sort of subside tomorrow. Today, the temperature, what did I say, 24. Tomorrow for Cape Town, the temperature goes up to 28.
00:08:14
Speaker 7: Wednesday.
00:08:16
Speaker 1: We're going to hit 34 degrees. Sure. 34 degrees. Thursday, 27 degrees. We've got quite a warm week ahead of us. Elsewhere today, Stellenbosch, Paul, 25, 26, Worcester, 23, Otsu, 19, George, Nisnepleet, the entire Garden Route. We've got 18 degrees there today. Garden Route looking good for the rest of the week. It's going to get warmer. Wednesday, you've got 25. Thursday, 32 degrees. That is your weather forecast brought to you by the Capitec credit card. So let me tell you that. Spend 5,000 Rand or more on the Capitec credit card until 31 October. And you could win a trip to Singapore for two, plus get 24 free airport lounge visits a year when purchasing flight tickets for 1,500 Rand or more. with your Capitec credit card and enjoy no currency conversion fees, free travel insurance when booking return flights, and 1% cash back on your Capitec credit card spend. Capitec is an authorized credit provider and FSP initiation service fees and conditions apply. It is 6.30. 24 Karat Magic here on KFM Mornings. I didn't realize that the Australia, South Africa... Rugby game on Sunday, the score ended up being so close, 42-38.
00:09:45
Speaker 7: A lot of people had given up when I think Australia had pulled away massively.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: Well, you see, I was watching with my father-in-law.
00:09:52
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:09:53
Speaker 1: And at the 63rd minute, he switched the TV off and that was it. He's seen enough.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: I saw us.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: I saw us 42-17. And he was like, that's it, boom, and he switched it off. TV not going back on.
00:10:06
Speaker 7: No, but you must know when the Springboks are involved, oh, there's always a chance. They're not back-to-back world champs for nothing.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:10:14
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, we made a mistake at the end and we couldn't get over the line.
00:10:19
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: So at one point with only 11 Aussies on the field. Yes.
00:10:25
Speaker 3: Yeah. Not many. And they were ahead 42-17 at some point. Sure.
00:10:32
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:10:33
Speaker 3: So I see why the TV was switched off.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Yeah. On the 63rd minute, it went 42-17. And that's it. So that's how if I'm watching with him.
00:10:43
Speaker 8: Yes.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: And if Portugal are playing soccer and they go 2-0 down, boom, TV's off.
00:10:50
Speaker 2: Very strict.
00:10:51
Speaker 1: It's gone.
00:10:51
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:10:52
Speaker 7: For me, ever since the 4-3-8 game, when the Proteus beat Australia.
00:10:56
Speaker 1: For the cricket, yeah.
00:10:58
Speaker 7: I will always stay till the end. Because I think about those people who left the stadium.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: During that game and missed that finale.
00:11:06
Speaker 1: Were you there at that game?
00:11:07
Speaker 3: I wasn't. I watched it on TV.
00:11:08
Speaker 1: I was at that game.
00:11:09
Speaker 3: But I was able to kind of dip in and out, you know?
00:11:12
Speaker 1: I was at that game. And there was literally half the people left. But some people had left... gone home, hearing the buzz.
00:11:21
Speaker 6: Came back.
00:11:21
Speaker 1: They got in the car and they came back, yeah, for the last sort of half an hour.
00:11:26
Speaker 9: Wow.
00:11:27
Speaker 3: And it was that serious.
00:11:29
Speaker 1: It was a great day of cricket. Yeah. Okay, so we've got your 20K Pop Quiz coming up in just a little bit. If you want to play this morning, 082-945-0940. 20,000 bucks on the table, courtesy of Suzuki. It could be yours. Just like that. Where would you set the level of question difficulty this morning, Shirlen? I haven't seen any of the questions.
00:11:55
Speaker 2: I say this always, every morning. It's doable. Come get your money. But you're going to have to do some work.
00:12:01
Speaker 6: I thought you were going to fish for a second clue.
00:12:03
Speaker 5: No.
00:12:04
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: No, no. The Sadiq law applies. Okay, so you're at the wrong end of the contest this year. But we'll see how long.
00:12:20
Speaker 3: Proud of you.
00:12:21
Speaker 2: He's trying very hard.
00:12:23
Speaker 3: Very hard.
00:12:24
Speaker 1: Give me a little bit of wiggle room. But we're holding firm for now. All right. It's on shortly.
00:12:35
Speaker 11: Rise and shine.
00:12:37
Speaker 1: 60 seconds.
00:12:38
Speaker 11: 10 questions. And up to 20,000 rand cash. It's time for the 20,000 rand pop quiz with Suzuki. On KFM Mornings with Darren, Sherlyn and Sivs. Suzuki turns everything into a fun adventure.
00:12:56

00:13:32
Speaker 10: Hi, good morning, Darren. Good morning, KSM.
00:13:36
Speaker 12: Morning.
00:13:38
Speaker 3: How are you guys?
00:13:39
Speaker 1: Very well, Kirsten. Good, good, good. So you're an Uber driver?
00:13:44
Speaker 10: Yes, that's correct.
00:13:45
Speaker 1: Okay. Did you see the new technology that they're already piloting in Uber America? Because a lot of people are sending their kids to school in an Uber now, globally.
00:14:01
Speaker 10: Yes, in the electrical vehicles.
00:14:03
Speaker 8: Yes.
00:14:04
Speaker 1: Do you take a lot of school kids?
00:14:09
Speaker 10: Mostly from school, but not in the mornings.
00:14:12
Speaker 1: On the way back?
00:14:14
Speaker 3: Probably after sports practice.
00:14:16
Speaker 1: And things like that. Okay. So what they're piloting now is they're doing it in 10 states in the USA and then hopefully expand it globally once they iron out any little problems. Is that camera on your phone, Kirsten, will be switched on and streamed live to the parents the whole journey?
00:14:43
Speaker 7: Oh, like a dash cam of sorts.
00:14:46
Speaker 3: Sure.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: The future is here.
00:14:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which I think is fantastic. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant idea with school kids. So it'll be, I don't know, somehow linked to the parent's account and then boom.
00:15:00
Speaker 3: Maybe the trip won't start then if that thing is off.
00:15:04
Speaker 6: I don't know.
00:15:04
Speaker 1: How do you police that? I think it's an opt-in sort of thing, but you will literally, as the parent on the other side, switch it on and they're, You can see exactly what's happening. So, okay. Kirsten, good luck, my man.
00:15:19
Speaker 10: No problem. Thank you very much.
00:15:21
Speaker 1: Your qualifying question, true or false, servicing your Suzuki at a Suzuki dealer can give you peace of mind?
00:15:27
Speaker 10: 100% correct.
00:15:29
Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
00:15:31
Speaker 3: Come on.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Okay. Okay, it's all up to you now, Kirsten. 20,000 bucks.
00:15:37
Speaker 3: Come and take it.
00:15:39
Speaker 2: Let's go.
00:15:39
Speaker 3: What's the biggest tip you've ever received, Kirsten?
00:15:43
Speaker 10: Ah, I just got Saturday a 20 rand.
00:15:47
Speaker 12: Ah, no.
00:15:48
Speaker 1: Is that your biggest?
00:15:49
Speaker 2: So in this economy, hey, it's very.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: Telling, Kirsten.
00:15:53
Speaker 9: Yes, yes.
00:15:53
Speaker 10: I don't like tips, but yeah.
00:15:56
Speaker 1: But you know what? Whenever I look, I only use Uber if I'm traveling, you know, like if I'm going to Joburg airport run. And then the only time I see to give the driver a tip is the very next time I open Uber. Not the last time I used Uber.
00:16:15
Speaker 3: Two months later.
00:16:15
Speaker 1: It could be two months later. And I forgot. 20 bucks? Nah. Nah. It's over.
00:16:21
Speaker 3: What was that trip like, actually?
00:16:22
Speaker 1: I forget. Okay.
00:16:25
Speaker 10: We had a deep conversation in the cloud and this felt very safe.
00:16:31
Speaker 6: You have to work hard for that 20 grand, Kirsten, because now you're a therapist.
00:16:35
Speaker 3: You're a counselor now. I know. Let's get you 20,000.
00:16:40
Speaker 2: You deserve, Kirsten. Come.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: You're the new barman.
00:16:45
Speaker 3: And what's the term? Hairstylist as well.
00:16:50
Speaker 1: Okay, Kirsten. It's about you now, brother. 20,000 bucks. Let's do this. Your time starts now.

Speaker 10: Madonna.
00:17:02
Speaker 2: Who beat the Springboks on Sunday?
00:17:04
Speaker 3: Australia.
00:17:06
Speaker 6: What's rapper Megan Peete's stage name?
00:17:09
Speaker 1: Chip.
00:17:11
Speaker 6: Which animal has varieties called bottlenose and spinner?
00:17:17
Speaker 3: Rabbit.
00:17:18
Speaker 6: SPF stands for sun protection what? Finn the human and Jake the dog are animated.
00:17:26
Speaker 2: Characters from which series? Skip.
00:17:30
Speaker 6: True or false, Tatiana Bag's first Gold Post comeback? True.
00:17:35
Speaker 2: In what country was Celine Dion born?
00:17:39
Speaker 10: France.
00:17:40
Speaker 6: What's 13 plus 14?
00:17:44
Speaker 10: 27.
00:17:45
Speaker 2: Spell commotion. C-O-M-U.
00:17:55
Speaker 6: Which animal has varieties called bottlenose and spinner?
00:18:01
Speaker 1: One, two, three. I got you down for four.
00:18:06
Speaker 3: Tough one, Kirsten.
00:18:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that is rapper Megan Pete's stage name is Megan Thee Stallion.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: The clue is in the name, yes.
00:18:18
Speaker 10: And I do listen to her music.
00:18:21
Speaker 1: You do. Well, look, which animal has varieties called the bottlenose and spinner? That's the dolphin. SPF stands for sun protection factor. Finn and the human and Jake the dog are animated characters from Adventure Time. Is that a new cartoon?
00:18:41
Speaker 7: You see, I'm not familiar with Adventure Time.
00:18:45
Speaker 3: I'm still on Bluey.
00:18:46
Speaker 6: Also not something that I've watched, but it popped up. And apparently Adventure Time has become one of Cartoon Network's most popular series of all time.
00:18:57
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:18:58
Speaker 6: So we might not be watching, but it's being watched. Okay.
00:19:03
Speaker 1: And in what country was Celine Dion born? There was a good guess with France. But no, it's Canada.
00:19:10
Speaker 3: Canada.
00:19:12
Speaker 1: She's considered French-Canadian. And commotion, C-O-M-M-O-T-I-O-N. So that is 800 Rand, but it'll be 1,400 Rand minimum tank of fuel there for you.
00:19:28
Speaker 3: That's a nice tip, yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker 10: Thank you very much, guys. Thanks, Kristen.
00:19:34
Speaker 2: Thanks for paying.
00:19:35
Speaker 1: Listen, being an Uber, how long does a tank of fuel last you?
00:19:40
Speaker 10: Yeah, two days maybe. It depends on how much trips I do because we do drive a lot. We drive to Cape Town, drive to Strand, drive to Wellington.
00:19:50
Speaker 3: Sure.
00:19:51
Speaker 10: Fuel goes quick and it's expensive.
00:19:54
Speaker 6: And Kirsten, what's the average weight between your trips?
00:19:59
Speaker 10: Weight between the trips?
00:20:02
Speaker 2: Like, are you busy or do you have to wait a long time?
00:20:06
Speaker 10: We're quite busy, but we're just picky because we're off.
00:20:12
Speaker 3: I've seen some of the dash cam footage. It's terrible.
00:20:23
Speaker 2: You guys really are putting your lives on the line. Be safe out there.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: Kirsten, can you see before you accept a trip what the final destination is?
00:20:34
Speaker 10: Yes, we can. And we can also see the amount of trips the person did before. So it's very important to watch. But if it's like a new rider, we won't easily accept it because it's the guys who take chances and stuff like that with us, all the drivers.
00:20:48
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
00:20:49
Speaker 13: Okay.
00:20:50
Speaker 3: Interesting.
00:20:51
Speaker 1: Well, be safe there, man.
00:20:53
Speaker 5: I will.
00:20:53
Speaker 10: Thank you.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: Sure, Kirsten.
00:20:55
Speaker 1: All right, Kirsten. Take care, brother. Bye-bye.
00:20:58
Speaker 3: Bye. Cheers.
00:20:59
Speaker 1: Bye-bye.
00:21:00
Speaker 5: And you.
00:21:02
Speaker 1: Okay, so your Monday motivation. Here is your little happy ball. Have you heard of a guy? Maybe he's come across your social media feed. Charlie Rocket.
00:21:12
Speaker 7: No.
00:21:12
Speaker 2: Do not know Mr.
00:21:13
Speaker 1: Rocket. Perhaps you don't know him by name, but you might recognize his voice. Very distinctive voice. So Charlie Rocket, he's got a very interesting backstory. He became like a music mogul, made quite a few rappers, managed them, made them stars, got them signed, managed their careers. And then he got a brain tumor. And he was balling, became a multi-multi-millionaire from the music industry. And then he got a brain tumor and then he decided, okay, well, I'm not into this anymore. There's more to life than working. He'd made his money. And then he went and he started doing Ironman and he ran multiple marathons.
00:21:58
Speaker 3: Slow down, Charlie.
00:22:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow. He bicycled across America. And then he became sponsored by Nike as a Nike athlete.
00:22:08
Speaker 2: Sure.
00:22:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know what's so interesting? How he got into music. If you don't know this part of the story. So he was at school. And you know all these magazines... that used to read as like a 16-year-old. Sweet 16 and all these magazines.
00:22:26
Speaker 3: 17 magazines.
00:22:27
Speaker 1: 17, that's what it is.
00:22:28
Speaker 2: Sweet 16.
00:22:29
Speaker 3: Sweet 16.
00:22:30
Speaker 1: Sweet 16, whatever. I remember at 16, I used to buy the Top 40 magazine.
00:22:36
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:22:36
Speaker 1: There was a magazine called Top 40. Do you remember that magazine? And that was like such a cool magazine. So there were one of those sorts of magazines around. He was at school and there were these three girls and he was a very shy guy. So he was sitting there in the canteen And they said, hey, Charlie, do you recognize this guy? And they pointed to a rapper. And he was like, never heard of him. And then he says they laughed at him because he was so uncool because he didn't know who the latest rapper was. And he said that stuck with him his whole life.
00:23:10
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:23:11
Speaker 1: And then he said, you know what? To get back at these girls, I'm going to own this industry. Sure.
00:23:18
Speaker 13: Oh.
00:23:19
Speaker 1: And that's the only reason why he got into rap music. And there he'd signed like 10 of the greatest artists at the time.
00:23:26
Speaker 3: Sometimes pettiness is a good reason.
00:23:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:23:28
Speaker 2: I'm going to show you.
00:23:30
Speaker 1: So you'll see him now. Now he's on the speaking circuit and he just says so many good things. So this bit he says, life is only as good as your ability to see how good it is.
00:23:44
Speaker 9: I'll give you $ 100 if you tell me how many red cars there are.
00:23:47
Speaker 3: You have three seconds.
00:23:48
Speaker 12: Okay.
00:23:51
Speaker 9: Did you find him?
00:23:52
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:23:52
Speaker 3: Well, that's not actually the test.
00:23:54
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:23:55
Speaker 9: Because the real test is, did you see the purple little monster?
00:23:59
Speaker 7: Bruh.
00:24:00
Speaker 9: There are 11 million bits of information hitting your brain right now, and you're only conscious of about 50.
00:24:06
Speaker 6: Why?
00:24:07
Speaker 9: Your brain has to filter almost everything out to prioritize what seems important to you. You buy a car, and suddenly, like magic, they appear everywhere. This is where it gets dangerous. Your brain finds what it's looking for. So be careful what you train it to see. Every morning before our feet hit the ground, we usually think, I didn't get enough sleep. I don't have enough energy. I don't have enough time. Every time you repeat not enough, you're teaching your brain, this is what I want you to look for. You see not enough everywhere. Not enough followers. Not enough success. Not enough health. But what if tomorrow morning I paid you $ 1, 000 for every blessing that you found, big or small?
00:24:45
Speaker 3: You'd be rich.
00:24:46
Speaker 9: You would probably start finding every little tiny blessing in your life, wouldn't you?
00:24:50
Speaker 3: Your mom's alive. You slept in a bed. You can walk. You have electricity. You have your health. And you have a friend.
00:24:57
Speaker 9: So remember, life is only as good as your ability to see how.
00:25:01
Speaker 3: Good it is.
00:25:03
Speaker 11: Mmm.
00:25:05
Speaker 2: Sure, that was so good.
00:25:07
Speaker 1: He's a half-glossful guy.
00:25:09
Speaker 6: What a beautiful reminder, that kind of person.
00:25:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:25:12
Speaker 3: That's why I love journaling.
00:25:14
Speaker 7: Because it actually forces you to sit down and practice gratitude. And see your life like a story. You know, and so you're able to appreciate the small details.
00:25:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he says, it's a bunch of small wins.
00:25:29
Speaker 2: And count your blessings.
00:25:30
Speaker 6: And like he says, once you start counting, you almost can't stop.
00:25:34
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:25:35
Speaker 2: We've got so much to be grateful for.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: Look him up. Charlie Rocket. He's got so much good stuff. Really lands, you know. He's brilliant. Okay. Now this. A lot of people asking, where's Charlie Rocket? Where can we get him? Which platform? He's everywhere. He's on YouTube. You'll find him on the little Instagram one-minute, two-minute clips. Just type in Charlie Rocket. He's absolutely just everywhere. Okay, we've got a message here. Thanks, Charlie and KFM team.
00:26:08
Speaker 4: Thanks, Charlie, for reminding us because there are so much, so much to be grateful for. And yet there are so many of us that wake up with, oh, another day, oh, more problems. And we just forget to celebrate the small successes, to see the small mercies and the blessings that And the good moments, the really good moments in life.
00:26:32
Speaker 1: We forget to savor those. Yeah. We just had a long weekend.
00:26:37
Speaker 2: There are so many good moments.
00:26:39
Speaker 3: Like rest is a gift.
00:26:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:26:41
Speaker 3: You know?
00:26:42
Speaker 1: Think how happy Australia is this week, this weekend.
00:26:45
Speaker 3: Oh, you mean the rugby side?
00:26:47
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:26:47
Speaker 3: Not the cricket side so much.
00:26:48
Speaker 1: And you know what's the sweet victory for me, the sweet takeaway? Is that Australia doesn't care that we beat the Springboks. They really don't watch rugby union.
00:27:02
Speaker 3: Oh, they're more into rugby league.
00:27:05
Speaker 1: Rugby league. They really don't care. You know, they're a cricket first.
00:27:10
Speaker 7: I guarantee you they will start caring if they win another World Cup.
00:27:15
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:27:16
Speaker 3: Funny how that happens, eh?
00:27:17
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:27:19
Speaker 1: Okay, so listen, in music news, so on, when was it?
00:27:23
Speaker 3: Friday.
00:27:25
Speaker 1: Wednesday. We were playing all the South African songs. And I explained to you how the Billboard Hot 100 works. It's the official global chart. Yes, a bit of American bias, but official global chart from all genres that comes into one and they pick what's the best song, all right, of the week, then month, year. So now Mariah Carey was, for the longest time, she held the record of longest running number one. Which is quite an accolade, okay? Because she held that spot for many, many, many, many, many, many years. And she was 22 weeks at number one. But I first want to just walk it back and go number five, right? The fifth longest number one song running consecutively week after week was this song.
00:28:24
Speaker 4: Oh.
00:28:28
Speaker 1: Fourteen weeks at number one.
00:28:31
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:28:42
Speaker 1: She got beat by Little Nas X, which was the fourth longest track. running number one.
00:28:51
Speaker 3: Remember that time?
00:28:52
Speaker 1: It was 19 weeks. So that was number four.
00:28:56
Speaker 3: Joined four, so 3-4.
00:28:58
Speaker 8: And this is an odd one to have reigned supreme for so long at number one for 19 weeks.
00:29:19
Speaker 1: This one, Shaboosie. And this beat, Whitney Houston. Doesn't make sense, eh?
00:29:31
Speaker 2: But we were playing it, eh?
00:29:33
Speaker 3: But Kelly, the country trend. So this was always coming, eh?
00:29:37
Speaker 1: Well, there seems to be a country thread. through all of them, except for obviously Mariah Carey, which was just Christmas vibe. So Mariah Carey was longest running at 22 weeks, so with obviously this one.
00:29:49
Speaker 10: Oh.
00:29:49
Speaker 3: Here we go.
00:29:50
Speaker 1: I don't want a life for Christmas There is just one thing I need And I don't care about It's not time yet. It's not time yet.
00:30:08
Speaker 7: Someone tuned in right as you played that and thought, wow, Darren is playing Christmas carols already?
00:30:13
Speaker 2: A new record.
00:30:15
Speaker 1: Put it back in the Advent calendar. Not yet, Mariah. So Mariah was at 22 weeks. A record that thought would never, ever be broken. At number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Again, For charts around the world, this is the main chart, right? And it's just been beaten now 23 weeks at number one. Again, country vein coming through. It was a commercial success, though. We didn't really play it that much.
00:30:47
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:30:48
Speaker 6: Who beat Mariah Carey?
00:30:50
Speaker 1: Ella Langley. Choose in Texas, Ella Langley here on KFM Mornings. You like? You've heard that before.
00:31:00
Speaker 2: So good. I have not.
00:31:02
Speaker 7: I would not have predicted that it would be the longest running number one song of all time, though, when it came out.
00:31:08
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:31:08
Speaker 3: But good for her.
00:31:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. There we go.
00:31:10
Speaker 3: Mariah's going to fight in December.
00:31:13
Speaker 1: Listen, so we've got a little contest coming up. We've got 5,000 Rand for you. Now, this might sound odd, but this is the question. How do you use Marmot or Bovril? To create a knockout meal. Is it just toast for you?
00:31:34
Speaker 3: I was about to say, my.
00:31:35
Speaker 7: I'm not diverse in my use of it.
00:31:39
Speaker 1: Am I boring?
00:31:41
Speaker 2: Am I not creative enough? What are we supposed to be doing with the bovril?
00:31:45
Speaker 13: They're those scones also that people bake with. Using the bovril and cheese, they make a scone from scratch.
00:31:53
Speaker 5: Oh, I see.
00:31:53
Speaker 2: Divine. Now I need to try that.
00:31:57
Speaker 1: Bovril on toast with hot melted butter. Oh, that's beautiful. But I'll tell you what my dad used to do. You know my dad's Scottish, right? So my dad used to give me a bovril hot drink in the morning.
00:32:14
Speaker 4: Oh.
00:32:15
Speaker 1: It's a very Scottish tradition.
00:32:16
Speaker 3: How would that work?
00:32:18
Speaker 1: One teaspoon of bovril in hot water, mix, drink and enjoy.
00:32:24
Speaker 2: Oh, that's it?
00:32:25
Speaker 1: It's like a broth.
00:32:26
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:32:27
Speaker 1: It's a hot beef drink in the morning. Beef extract.
00:32:30
Speaker 7: Hey, broths are popular lately, so maybe you need to go back there.
00:32:37
Speaker 1: It's very popular. Like if you go watch a soccer match in Scotland, you can buy Bovril or Marmite as a warm drink.
00:32:46
Speaker 6: Wow.
00:32:47
Speaker 1: They obviously always choose the beer, but there is the option of that.
00:32:51
Speaker 2: Part of the culture.
00:32:52
Speaker 1: And some, some even... Add milk to it.
00:33:00
Speaker 3: That's very chaotic.
00:33:01
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say a shot.
00:33:02
Speaker 1: So you're using the beef extract and then the beef milk.
00:33:08
Speaker 2: Creamy beef milk.
00:33:09
Speaker 1: It's beef milk, yeah.
00:33:12
Speaker 2: Different spin on a chai.
00:33:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:33:15
Speaker 2: Creative.
00:33:15
Speaker 7: After I've had my bone broth and my chicken broth, I'll maybe try the Bovril broth, Darren.
00:33:20
Speaker 3: You know what?
00:33:21
Speaker 1: It's very much like a bone broth.
00:33:23

00:35:06
Speaker 2: Good morning.
00:35:07
Speaker 1: Hello, Sinead. All right, so what's the little secret? Where do you apply this? What do you do with Bovril?
00:35:14
Speaker 12: Okay, so it's a recipe that I haven't completely prepared myself, but I've tried it from a friend who invited us to a bride. So she's more the bold type. She likes experiencing all kinds of food and fuel combination. And she actually tried the Bovril. So she used it as a rub. You use it, you mix it with your dry spices, and you rub it into the steak, and then.
00:35:42
Speaker 10: You take it to a hot pot.
00:35:43
Speaker 12: It was interesting. It's a salty kind of stuff, but it was delicious. It's something bold and new to me.
00:35:53
Speaker 1: Makes sense, using bovril as a rub on steak.
00:35:57
Speaker 3: Okay, rub. I thought wrap.
00:35:59
Speaker 1: No, no, no, as a rub.
00:36:01
Speaker 3: As a rub.
00:36:01
Speaker 10: Now, as.
00:36:03
Speaker 1: Our official chef on the show, Vanis.
00:36:07
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll claim it.
00:36:09
Speaker 1: What do you say to that?
00:36:10
Speaker 13: No, I'm pleasantly surprised. Why didn't I think of that? So not something you've tried before? I haven't, but I so am going to. Sounas, that sounds delicious.
00:36:21
Speaker 2: I can understand that salty. And it's obviously like a paste.
00:36:25
Speaker 3: So a lot of umami flavor. Yes.
00:36:28
Speaker 12: Can I call it an umami bomb? Ooh.
00:36:35
Speaker 3: I love that.
00:36:35
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you got yourself 5,000 rand for your umami bomb recipe there.
00:36:40
Speaker 3: You better share it with your friend.
00:36:41
Speaker 2: Well done.
00:36:45
Speaker 12: Actually, my son, we are on our way somewhere. We have an appointment for him, and he's actually the one who entered me into the show. He's like, no, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in some of him at all.
00:36:59
Speaker 1: Well, you're going to have to now, hey?
00:37:01
Speaker 2: Also, that's a big compliment, eh, when your babies are like, Mom, enter.
00:37:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got a smashing recipe.
00:37:07
Speaker 2: You've got to tell them about it. You've got to tell them about that rub.
00:37:11
Speaker 1: All right, Sinead. Okay, so you got your 5,000 Rand cash, all thanks to Marmite and Bovril.
00:37:18
Speaker 2: Well done.
00:37:19
Speaker 1: Thank you. Cheers, Sinead. So tomorrow, another recipe. Let me tell you, there were a lot of people that came very close this morning. Some close or just gross.
00:37:31
Speaker 2: See, now I'm so intrigued. Now I also want to know one of the gross ones.
00:37:35
Speaker 3: But today was a good start, though.
00:37:37
Speaker 2: A strong start.
00:37:38
Speaker 3: Very good start.
00:37:39
Speaker 2: Very good.
00:37:40
Speaker 1: Another saying I can apply to this context is don't yuck my yum.
00:37:44
Speaker 2: There we go.
00:37:46
Speaker 1: We have got the Senseless Survey coming up after 8 o'clock. And you know the drill there. How many questions will I ask in this morning's Senseless Survey?
00:37:56
Speaker 12: Okay.
00:37:57
Speaker 1: Pop me a guess on 0829450940. So this is something interesting. This is a story I've been following very, very closely. And I've done quite a bit of in-depth research into this. So you know all the horror stories coming out about Ozempic, Ozempic face, Ozempic this, Ozempic that, all the side effects, okay? There's one good side effect, it seems. There is obviously good side effects, but this is one that they've now just sort of recently discovered.
00:38:31
Speaker 3: Obviously, over the obvious.
00:38:32
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:38:33
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:38:34
Speaker 1: So, you know, I mean, there have been many times when they've created a pharmaceutical and it has, like, side effects that they didn't predict, but these are good side effects, not bad side effects. Like, take Viagra, for instance, okay?
00:38:52
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:38:54
Speaker 1: For high blood pressure and angina and then it had that other.
00:38:57
Speaker 2: Happy side effect.
00:38:58
Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Minoxidil. Yes. Minoxidil is actually a high blood pressure medicine as well and the side effect was patients grew hair.
00:39:11
Speaker 3: Hair lines restored.
00:39:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. Botox was never actually for wrinkles.
00:39:19
Speaker 2: What was it for?
00:39:20
Speaker 1: Botox they used.
00:39:23
Speaker 1: It was a groundbreaking fix for people with crossed eyes and eyelid spasm.
00:39:30
Speaker 3: Really?
00:39:31
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:39:31
Speaker 1: And then that's what I was actually removed wrinkles too.
00:39:34
Speaker 7: So this is more about like how vanity then became a priority. Because humble beginnings and then it was like, oh, these things actually help us with our hair loss and Wrinkles.
00:39:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. So this could be one that could absolutely change the game. And they've started with a whole bunch of trials. They've done a test on 600,000 people. So they haven't physically tested these people, but they have monitored them before and after. So coming out of COVID, a lot of people found that they were type 2 diabetic. So a lot of people... Went on sort of Diabetes medications And And some GLP-1 Yeah So they got the diabetes, right? So then they got onto these medications And then they found Well A lot of people that Have addictions This is actually Taking away their addictions to drugs Alcohol Cigarettes What? Yeah Yeah What a great side effect that is. So people addicted to opiates, they found 25% of people got off of it. Their addiction went by taking Ozempic or the like, the GLP-1s. Nicotine, they had a drastic drop of 20% of people. They just gave up. Once they were on the stuff, they're like, don't want any.
00:41:18
Speaker 3: Don't.
00:41:19
Speaker 1: Because it's all about that dopamine hit and it suppresses that.
00:41:23
Speaker 7: And it makes sense because people say one of the main reasons they take GLP-1s is for those food cravings.
00:41:28
Speaker 3: That food noise.
00:41:29
Speaker 1: That dopamine hit, yeah.
00:41:30
Speaker 3: And so it suppresses that.
00:41:32
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:41:32
Speaker 3: So why wouldn't it work actually for other addictions?
00:41:35
Speaker 2: Makes sense.
00:41:37
Speaker 1: What a great side effect that is. So it's had great success with people addicted to alcohol, weed, cocaine. cigarettes, and opiates.
00:41:52
Speaker 7: But then there's also the other side of it where it's not a magic cure. There's still the mental side. So you would have to get help alongside possibly taking that medication.
00:42:02
Speaker 1: But the mental side is the dopamine, right?
00:42:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then it's.
00:42:06
Speaker 7: Also like the root cause, like why these things were addictive in the first place for you.
00:42:13
Speaker 1: So they're now applying quite a lot into exploring this and doing actual testing on drug addicts. They said that it's lowered everything. Overdoses are down. Hospitalizations from overdoses are way down on the people that are taking these GLP-1s.
00:42:36
Speaker 3: Fascinating.
00:42:37
Speaker 1: So there's a good story. Who would have thought? Maybe there's a cure after all, eh? Okay, we've got to do the pollen report very quickly. All right, and it is brought to you by Texa Allergy, the number one non-drowsy antihistamine in South Africa. This week's pollen reading is the overall risk is pretty low.
00:43:01
Speaker 6: So.
00:43:02
Speaker 1: Happy to hear that. That doesn't mean you mustn't get Texa Allergy in your system. Again, once you start sneezing, your eyes are puffy and watering... And then you take, it's too late. All right? You need to get it in. It can be a daily. If you are an allergy sufferer, you know this time of year can wreck your life.
00:43:24
Speaker 3: I'm so vulnerable, man.
00:43:26
Speaker 1: You wake up sneezing, puffy eye, and you just can't get going for the day. You get those black things underneath your eyes.
00:43:34
Speaker 7: I mean, I had a friend who visited me, and I just bought flowers. And the flowers in my place were irritating her the whole time. I said, hi, sister, then clearly home visits are not meant for us. We must be outside in the streets.
00:43:48
Speaker 1: Because, you know, the first thing is that I never was, but only since I moved to Cape Town, I now have allergies, right? And I always like will trace it back to like, oh, I went to your house yesterday.
00:44:06
Speaker 2: How do you do that?
00:44:07
Speaker 1: Your filthy.
00:44:08
Speaker 3: Not the investigation.
00:44:09
Speaker 1: Your filthy dust mite house.
00:44:12
Speaker 3: Oh, not dust mites.
00:44:13
Speaker 1: Dust. Do you ever dust your dirty, rotten abode? And now I'm paying for this for the next three days.
00:44:21
Speaker 3: I just told you, Moss, it was the flowers that I got at the.
00:44:23
Speaker 7: Market because I want to add color to the home.
00:44:27
Speaker 2: You know, maybe it's someone else's perfume. That's just not agreeing with your system.
00:44:31
Speaker 1: It could be all of that, but I'm blaming your house.
00:44:34
Speaker 3: Dust mites.
00:44:35
Speaker 1: You need to clean.
00:44:38
Speaker 3: You see now, we're creating enemies now out of innocent people.
00:44:42
Speaker 1: So please, if you don't clean your house, clean it. So that pollen report is brought to you by Texa Allergy, the number one non-drowsy antihistamine in South Africa. Now listen here. So I was mentioning this before we went into news. And I believe this is a groundbreaking bit of research that I stumbled upon and then did a lot of my own research into this because this isn't blowing up mainstream, but they're just kind of jumping on this now. With Ozempic and one of the great side effects of taking Ozempic is it is reducing people that have drug addictions. It's reducing their craving for the drugs. I mean, could there not be a better thing in this whole world right now apart from curing cancer and all these other dreaded diseases then I mean how many problems start with this with drug addiction how many families are ruined we sit in courthouse all the time 8 out of 10 stories all goes back to drugs and there's all the normal therapies and rehabs and stuff And sometimes it has success and sometimes it doesn't. What if a Zempik is that one thing or the lack of a Zempik that can kill your craving for this stuff?
00:46:18
Speaker 7: That's why I'm saying it has to be a holistic approach because there's so many factors that make someone an addict. You know, root causes, childhood trauma, all kinds of things. And a magic injection is not going to wipe out all of that.
00:46:33
Speaker 2: I mean, that would be great. To pop a pill.
00:46:36
Speaker 3: That's it.
00:46:36
Speaker 2: To pop a pill and then just be cured.
00:46:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot deeper than that.
00:46:42
Speaker 6: But maybe that in conjunction with other means of support.
00:46:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm sure if it is sort of trauma-based, then the drug becomes a form of escapism out of it. Then there the addiction starts.
00:46:56
Speaker 7: And if now you've maybe suppressed this one addiction, there's also a possibility of another addiction kind.
00:47:02
Speaker 3: Of coming to the fore.
00:47:03
Speaker 1: Well, this is curing... That addictive nature, your addiction to anything.
00:47:10
Speaker 6: But now I would want to know, like, what are these people then doing? What do their lives look like now? Because it also can't just be nothingness.
00:47:17
Speaker 1: So this is all science and this is all medicine and stuff that we are not qualified to speak about. I mean, I'm reading this from the learned people in white coats and what they have now recently discovered. But people that were addicts, of alcohol, they found a 20% drop of people that are taking GLP-1s, 20% drop of not needing it anymore, cocaine 20%, cigarettes 20%, and more your pharmaceuticals, your opiates, down 25%.
00:47:53
Speaker 2: That is significant.
00:47:54
Speaker 1: They're still yet to explore all the other drugs. So it's definitely doing something and they are definitely on to something. Definitely on to something. Have a listen to some of these WhatsApps that came in.
00:48:07
Speaker 5: As a GLP user, I can definitely attest to the fact that some things you really are addicted to, just like somewhere along the line, just doesn't work for you anymore. So I love coffee. I absolutely love a good cup of coffee. And for the last two months, I... Love the aroma of the coffee. I love holding the coffee in my hand and two sips in, I am so done.
00:48:34
Speaker 1: So, you know, it's a.
00:48:35
Speaker 5: Good thing and it's a bad thing because I somewhat think that it's robbing me when we join the simple things as well.
00:48:43
Speaker 8: So I've been on a GLP-1 for two years for weight loss purposes as someone who has struggled her whole life with binge eating and food noise and all of that and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:54
Speaker 5: Anyway.
00:48:55
Speaker 8: Last 40 kgs have managed to keep it off. But with regards to, you know, substance abuse, I am someone who pretty socially drank quite a lot of alcohol when I was at a braai and so forth, that kind of thing.
00:49:09
Speaker 3: And the desire for that is pretty much gone.
00:49:11
Speaker 8: Not entirely, but pretty much gone. I drink significantly less. I still enjoy my glass of wine when I braai. at home. But that urge to just drink, drink, drink, go out, that kind of thing socially, it's pretty much gone.
00:49:28
Speaker 2: So I 100% agree with this.
00:49:32
Speaker 8: Wish I could get my husband to be on it, but that's another story. Yeah.
00:49:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a bit of smoke there. There's a bit of smoke. Wait for the fire. All right, Senseless Survey is coming up next.
00:49:46
Speaker 6: KFM Mornings with Darren, Sherlyn, Sibs and you.
00:49:50
Speaker 3: Here we go, here we go.
00:49:52
Speaker 6: Here is another Senseless Survey from Darren Wackhead Simpson on KFM Mornings.
00:49:58
Speaker 2: KFM Mornings.
00:50:00
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, we've loaded up with some great prizes on the Senseless Survey. How's this? You know, we always say that.
00:50:08
Speaker 1: In this world moving towards AR, the one job is not going to be able to replace being a tradesman.
00:50:16
Speaker 2: Working with your hands.
00:50:18
Speaker 1: Plumbing, electrical, all these sorts of things. On this wheel, we've got a full scholarship on offer for either plumbing or electrical worth over 80,000 Rand.
00:50:29
Speaker 3: Sure, sign me up.
00:50:30
Speaker 2: Did you just say full scholarship?
00:50:32
Speaker 1: A full scholarship from New Gen Trade School's. And the intakes in October this year, January, April, July, and also for next year. So it doesn't have to be right now. But if you're thinking of a change of career and you win, this has to go to somebody that wants this.
00:50:52
Speaker 6: You need to be passionate because this could change someone's life.
00:50:56
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah. If you've got a matriculant that is now not sure what they want to do, perhaps this is what they want to do. How's that for a scholarship?
00:51:06
Speaker 10: Sure.
00:51:07
Speaker 1: We've also got 100 litres of diesel.
00:51:10
Speaker 3: Amazing.
00:51:11
Speaker 1: From De Pompstassie.
00:51:12
Speaker 2: Thank you, De Pompstassie. They always come through for us.
00:51:15
Speaker 3: Wheel of joy. Goodness me. We're giving them education, fuel. It's like, what's next?
00:51:20
Speaker 6: And remember, De Pompstassie, they deliver to your door.
00:51:24
Speaker 1: 100 litres. I don't know what the storage legalities are, but did you see some people in Java were storing diesel in their pools?
00:51:32
Speaker 3: No. AI, Darren.
00:51:34
Speaker 2: Preparing for the worst of it.
00:51:37
Speaker 1: In Nepal.
00:51:38
Speaker 3: No.
00:51:39
Speaker 1: What are you talking about AI? This is also South Africa where people have tigers as pets. Like a fully grown tiger that you never knew and broke free. And that's the only reason why we know.
00:51:56
Speaker 3: It's giving apocalypse, eh?
00:51:57
Speaker 1: South Africa, you never, when you see a store in South Africa, you never need to go, is that AI? Because I can guarantee you, more likely it's not AI.
00:52:09
Speaker 3: Fair.
00:52:10
Speaker 1: It's a true story. Okay, so we got that. We got a whole bunch of really, really great prizes to the sort of lash extensions.
00:52:19
Speaker 3: Dining experiences, ice cream for a week.
00:52:22
Speaker 2: Tickets.
00:52:23
Speaker 1: Tickets, Alice.
00:52:24
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:52:24
Speaker 1: You've just got to guess how many questions I will ask on the senseless survey. So, Sherlyn, let me start with you. How many questions?
00:52:32
Speaker 6: 13.
00:52:33
Speaker 1: 13. Sibs?
00:52:35
Speaker 3: Ooh, 11.
00:52:36
Speaker 1: 11. Okay. And Remy is not here today. Producer Brad, how many?
00:52:40
Speaker 3: I'll say 10.
00:52:41
Speaker 4: 10.
00:52:41
Speaker 1: Okay. You're all wrong. Ain't I? I'll say.
00:52:45
Speaker 3: Oh, no plumbing or electrical studies for us, guys. No diesel.
00:52:48
Speaker 7: Going to have to hire the people who know what they're doing.
00:52:51
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
00:52:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:52:52
Speaker 1: Okay. This is where I ask a bunch of random questions. These are ones that I extract from the Madlanga Commission, as you know. I steal my questions from the Madlanga Commission.
00:53:04
Speaker 2: And you'll never run out of material. I mean, there's just so much. There's so much to take from.
00:53:08
Speaker 1: Because at the Madlanga Commission, if you've noticed, you never get a straight answer. So I'm searching for straight answers. Okay.
00:53:18
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:53:20
Speaker 1: Doing the nation's work. You can get straight answers because there's no lawyers. Yeah, true that.
00:53:27
Speaker 7: And if you're wondering when the Midlander Commission will end, they're saying January 2027. So we've still got.
00:53:36
Speaker 3: A while to go. As for Senseless Survey, the end does not exist.
00:53:41
Speaker 1: Yes. So January 2027, if that's what they say, there will be an extension. Don't you worry.
00:53:48
Speaker 2: Another very South African story.
00:53:51
Speaker 1: Because every person that goes up on that stand, they sort of implicate another 15 people that they never heard about.
00:53:59
Speaker 3: It's a whole new chapter now.
00:54:00
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, okay, we've got to follow this lead, that lead, that lead, that lead.
00:54:05
Speaker 9: And then at the end, is anyone going to be prosecuted or is it just to air?
00:54:10
Speaker 1: No, Brad, it's just a TV show.
00:54:11
Speaker 8: Okay.
00:54:12
Speaker 1: Season two. It's just a TV show. We know how these things work here.
00:54:16
Speaker 3: You're asking for too much. What do you want? Accountability?
00:54:18
Speaker 9: No, it's just like we can tell everything that's happened, but like then what?
00:54:22
Speaker 3: No, I'm with you. If no one has to be accountable, then what's the point?
00:54:26
Speaker 1: No, it's just a TV show. It's like Adels. It's not about singing. It's about how good it looks on TV. Okay, so here is this week's senseless survey.
00:54:39
Speaker 11: Good morning.
00:54:40
Speaker 1: Good morning, sir. I'm agent 31962. I'm calling you from the Senseless Bureau. I see about 30 seconds of your time to ask a couple of questions for your country.
00:54:48
Speaker 5: Okay, no problem.
00:54:51
Speaker 1: So, are threesomes only for sex? Or can you join in in a couple's argument as well?
00:54:58
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
00:55:02
Speaker 1: Do you think a piñata is a great way to teach kids that if you continually beat something with a stick... Eventually, you'll get what you want.
00:55:11
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no, no.
00:55:17
Speaker 1: So, sir, if 30s is the new 20s, is 9pm the new 12pm?
00:55:22
Speaker 7: I don't know.
00:55:25
Speaker 1: After your funeral, would you like someone to take your phone and WhatsApp everyone, thanks for coming?
00:55:33
Speaker 9: Yeah.
00:55:33
Speaker 10: Yeah.
00:55:35
Speaker 1: If you think Gen Z do silly things, might I just remind you that in 2010, we were planking.
00:55:43
Speaker 2: No, never did.
00:55:45
Speaker 1: Please describe how milk tastes.
00:55:49
Speaker 4: It tastes like milk.
00:55:51
Speaker 1: Can you just elaborate?
00:55:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, milk is creamy and rich and tastier.
00:56:00
Speaker 12: Creamy, rich and tastier.
00:56:03
Speaker 1: What if fetish is... Or inherited. Blocked from your mom or dad.
00:56:08
Speaker 3: Put it down, sir.
00:56:19
Speaker 2: Put it down.
00:56:20
Speaker 3: I'm entertained, but you're sick. Hang up. I love how he was thoroughly entertained. But that's not nice to think about.
00:56:31
Speaker 1: It isn't, eh?
00:56:33
Speaker 3: Especially if you're afraid.
00:56:34
Speaker 1: Is it hereditary?
00:56:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
00:56:36
Speaker 2: You're like, mom, is it you? Dad, is it you?
00:56:39
Speaker 3: This foot fetish, where did I get it from?
00:56:43
Speaker 1: Did you like that? No, it's gross, man. Why are you guys taking it there now?
00:56:49
Speaker 3: Darren.
00:56:51
Speaker 2: Darren.
00:56:51
Speaker 3: Darren.
00:56:52
Speaker 7: Remember when you started senseless with like warm-up questions?
00:56:56
Speaker 3: I feel as though now we just.
00:56:58
Speaker 1: We go straight into it. No, it gets progressively darker the longer it goes on.
00:57:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, sometimes you're like, how many put down questions can I cram into one of them?
00:57:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it's all about. So there we go. We got some answers.
00:57:12
Speaker 3: All right.
00:57:14
Speaker 1: Paul and Oates. There we go. And it's a Monday back from a long weekend. And look at it. It's exactly nine o'clock.
00:57:23
Speaker 5: I love it.
00:57:24
Speaker 3: We're back.
00:57:24
Speaker 2: Look at that.
00:57:25
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Lovely being back. We will see you tomorrow at 6 o'clock. Have yourself a wonderful Monday.
