The Gareth Cliff Show Extra

If there’s one thing you can’t do, it’s lie on Judgment Day. The task this week is to be honest with yourself by filling out a self-assessment form. All you need to do is list all your good deeds and sins. Whichever is longer gives you a pretty good indication of where you might be headed.

Ever wondered if you could control your dreams? Well, influencing your dreams might be a real thing. All you need to do is focus your thoughts on the following before sleep: a hedgehog, an airplane and a little person. If you dream about any one of those things then hey, you can control your dreams!

Ever imagined yourself standing in front of the world’s most influential and powerful people? Well, you just might get a chance to do that. The One Thing for the Week is to write a speech to the UN... and who knows, yours just might be selected.

With the increase of crime and violence in South Africa, it's important to be able to protect yourself if anything ever had to happen. Gareth encourages you to get a weapon that you are completely comfortable with, that you can use to protect yourself in times of danger.

The task for this week is to unleash your inner Michelangelo and draw a self-portrait. The whole purpose of this exercise is to reveal what you think of yourself and discover how you truly view yourself. The upside about this is that you don’t have to show anyone your drawing.

It’s something so simple, and you can start today. Set some time aside to clear your junk mail… you’ll thank us later!

Gareth proposes a real challenge this week - ask three people who you value highly in your life to share one thing they absolutely don't like about you. Then you have until the end of the year to improve... can you do it?

He surprised, upset and puzzled most people with how he conducted his radio and TV interviews. Plus he was married a total of eight times in his lifetime! Gareth shares two things he will always associate with the iconic broadcasting legend, Larry King.

Gareth will never have a sex change, Leigh-Ann will never be a billionaire, and Siya will never have sex with a girl... not that we ever thought he would. The team shares why it's important to create a list of things that you will never do for your own peace of mind.

As one ages, there are two things that must mature: your mind and your palate. This week, try food that's not on your usual menu, food that ‘scares' you. If don't feel so brave - or don't have a stomach made of cement - why not write an e-mail to your ward councillor (or at least tag them on a social media post) about something positive that has happened under their watch.

Call your parents or a relative you haven’t spoken to for a long time and sort out a feud that needs to be put to bed. Everyone has some ongoing feud that is doing them more damage than good. So for this week, call up the cousin you hate and wish them well for the new year. They might keep on being an arsehole, but you can start the year with a clear conscience and be the better person. That irrit...

Your home is not an ATM. What does it mean to replace short-term debt with long-term debt? If you are downgrading your vehicle, what should you do with the insurance premium for the new one? Is debt consolidation a good idea? Stop using your credit cards! Kids and divorce are a cost, and you need to learn to talk about these realities. When should we be having kids? Get real or go broke.

Joe Cimino is back for the first time in 2020 and he's come out with all guns blazing! Turns out, if the credit card is in your wallet, you are signing your own financial death warrant. Speaking of death, are funeral policies financial grim reapers? What is insurance, and how do we know if we are getting fair returns on our premiums long term? Joe also has his say on the price of wedlock... forget...

How deep do the effects of corruption run within Eskom? Who are the people who have led this march to ruin? What does that mean for the ordinary taxpayer? Ted Blom is back to untangle the different 'stages' of what feels like Eskom's inevitable demise. From being a crown jewel in the State's portfolio, Eskom is now a burdensome noose around the neck of all of South Africa's citizenry. How long wil...

As we lead up to the festive season, the time of giving, here’s a new way for you to make a difference in the lives of those who might need it. TBWA Hunt Lascaris co-founder Reg Lascaris and Wetherlys founder Nick Davies tell Gareth how their band, Uncorked, is giving proceeds from their music to the Kusasa Project - an early learning school for underprivileged kids - and they'd like you to do the...

Daniel Baron claims David Guetta plagiarised his hit single 'Children of the Sun' - he reveals the story on The Gareth Cliff Show. Plus he spills all the details of his recent engagement.

Did you know humans have 9 body parts that we no longer need?

Friends to the show, the team at Headway Gauteng, are spending their 67 minutes for #MandelaDay by giving back to real-life heroes – the men and women who selflessly work in the services industry. The team join Gareth to discuss how much work the likes of paramedics do, and why Headway Gauteng wants to continue shining a spotlight on the good work that is done through service.

What's going on with cryptocurrency? The only person to ask on the subject is Ran Neu-Ner and he is as upbeat as ever. He tell you why here, and how new opportunities are developing as blockchain technology is only improving and becoming more widespread.

The Budget speech has been delivered, now it's down to your money expert Anthea Gardner to make sense of it all. It's not all doom and gloom though, as a boring Budget at least makes the best of bad times that are inevitable after the Zuma reign.

With the resignation of Jacob Zuma as President of South Africa, it leaves the door open to new beginnings.

Ran, who has just been named one of the 100 most influential people in cryptocurrency in the world, is armed with more information for another fresh update. He discusses Bitcoin cash and candidly answers why he believes Bitcoin will not die in 2018. In closing, he explains Neo, the Chinese Ethereum, and how cryptocurrency is changing our lives - including how fast-food restaurants are now using it...

Ran is back to update you on the world of cryptocurrency. December was a month of much volatility, with overnight investors running for the hills as coin corrections occurred after record gains. What is the future though, and is it a viable investment option going forward? Ran answers all of this and more for you.

Amanda tests the team's knowledge of Christmas Carol lyrics... and so of course there is singing by Siya.

Ran discusses the latest trends and information emerging from the cryptocurrency industry and debunks some claims too. Find out here how much of their own wealth some people are investing in bitcoin, when the best time to get into it is, and tracking the portfolio Ran created to monitor.
