Personal brand or just an influencer with a ring light? Gareth and Ben kick off the Friday with a real conversation about whether building a personal brand actually matters, and where the line is between genuine influence and just performing for the algorithm. They also take a look at the Enhanced Games, which promised to rewrite the record books and largely didn't, and ask a spicy question: is as...

Ben joins the show fresh off his club’s Premier League title win, bringing all the humility you’d expect. The guys also unpack Chin...

Leigh-Ann Mol is back and the team wastes no time diving into the big debates. Why do women love flowers, and why can't men see the value in them?

The team also speak on the latest findings around the Ramaphosa Phala Phala situation. Then, Jonathan Fine and Lourens Reichert join...

They also break down rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and why it matters globally. Tumi Morake brings humour and perspective, from her joke about coming back as a butch lesbian to the impact of a new game she’s worked on that’s shining a light on African talent. Pl...

Did we get it wrong from the start? Gareth Cliff and Leigh-Ann Mol kick things off by unpacking why people cling to unnecessary memories instead of holding onto the small bits of good that actually matter. Dr Hanan joins the conversation as the team asks a bold question: in a world where everyone is self-diagnosed as depressed or anxious, where did all the actual crazy people go? Things take a cha...

Did we have it all wrong the whole time? Gareth Cliff and Ben Karpinski start their day diving headfirst into the Epstein Files and the explosive question of whether Michael Jackson may have been a protector of children, not a predator. Dr Hanan joins the show as the team challenge the long-held myth that women are naturally more empathetic — the science might surprise you. Mash steps in to unpack...

Do we need to suffer for kids to bloom? That’s the uncomfortable question that kicks off today’s conversation as the team unpacks Gen Z mental-health buzzwords and the culture shaping them. Levi Brown joins the show to talk DeInfluencing — what it really means, why it matters, and how he’s using his platform to push back against brands like Virgin Active in the name of accountability. Gareth Cliff...

The team unpacks what they call the “true epidemic” and why the title fits a little too well. Relationship expert Sacha Jack joins the conversation alongside superfan Neil Meintjies to offer...

Plus, Martin Weist from Tourvest Travel Services breaks down travel trends for 2026, an...
