True to the blue

Its the weekend we have all been waiting for, if you are lucky like me then it starts before most of you even wake up but even if you do have work today it’s all good because its the Vodacom super 14 final between the ever amazing , always on top Blue Bulls vs. the less than inspiring chiefs so get your shirt, flag and horns and head down to your local sports bar if you weren’t lucky enough to get tickets and lets watch the Bulls wipe the floor with those sucker fools. If you haven’t got tickets but won’t settle for anything less than Loftus you can tune in to the breakfast and the Drive today where we will be giving away some of those sought after gems.

On my last show I started this new thing, it’s called YouTube beauts and what that is, is a selection of all of the coolest videos available on YouTube, you know just to save you some browsing time, Wednesday morning’s video of this guy names Kimbo slice who basically walks around and beats people up on the streets of America, and while I was posting the video I think I came across tonight’s winner and it is Kimbo Slice yet again, this time he pays some fool $100 to dress up in football gear and stand still so Kimbo can tackle him, I promise you it gives flying without wings a new definition.

I’ve been hearing a lot of complaining in the news over the last few months about the delivery of free housing and all that sort of thing, all well and good you know I can understand that you would want your free house, I mean who wouldn’t, but you know the problem is that these people are not paying their rates and taxes and I’m not talking about desperately poor people I’m talking about people who have a source of income, I just don’t get how you can expect the government to provide you with these free houses if you won’t support the system.

Crazy Specials

Do you have a swollen body, Failing to have babies, writing exams, have a court case... what do these things have in common? They all form part of a list of things that are curable with the help of a natural healer. That’s right these people claim to have a cure for HIV, a disease that kills thousands of people every day and has modern doctors at a loss for words, but it’s all good because it can be healed down the road by a guy that can also make your penis larger for R50.00 what really concerns me though is that these people are taking advantage of poor uneducated people who are really sick. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying traditional medicine can’t help you or cure your diseases but the fact is that AIDS is incurable.

The Twilight Zone

Have you ever been in the twilight zone? What that basically is is when you feel like what is going on around you is so weird and impossible that you must have like gone into some other world, that world is the twilight zone, where there’s no police, no reason, no shame and no sense. I have had a few encounters with this kind of situation.So I once went to a pretty popular gaming event, I wont say the name but it is huge and it lasts the whole weekend and you sit there with your PC and you don’t sleep, so anyway the one night, at a very late hour when most people had passed out on the keyboard I sent outside with my friend Roberto for a smoke and on my way out I noticed the people who were awake were watching porn on their computers, two strange little boys particularly caught my attention, I mean they were really watching some raunchy stuff.So I get outside and have my smoke and just as I’m about to go in me and Roberto spot those same kids, so I decided for a laugh I would go and ask them what they were watching, the answer wasn’t exactly what I expected, turns out these two kids are fascinated by the storyline in porn and their parents allow them to watch it openly because they too know that the only place to catch a good deep storyline these days is in porn, I laughed so hard and so loud that I just ran away, I must have cried with laughter for about 10 mins.

Health Minister has his say

There is a lot of hype at the moment around the medical health industry. Apparently Doctors are threatening to strike at the end of this month if they don’t receive a 50 – 70% pay increase. Now we all have this idea that doctors are paid a lot of money but that doesn’t seem to be the case, a general surgeon at a hospital in Durban says he earns R19000.00 after deductions including pay for overtime, so that means that he earns R365.00 per hour, I don’t know if that’s fair or not but what I do know is doctors take an oath to save lives and it seems like they have forgotten that little fact. I read an interview with the minister of health Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi and he has a whole bunch of interesting things to say about this dispute.Minister Motsoaledi’s response to the various questions posed to him went something along the lines of: although he sympathises with the doctors and he thinks their demands may be fair it’s just not realistic in this current economic climate, He himself was once a public sector doctor and he knows that the hours are hard but at the end of the day the reason that so much is demanded of doctors is because of a shortage in the field making it difficult to relieve doctors, the minister even had a solution to the problem, he says that he will be re-opening government nursing colleges in an effort to relieve work load in the hospital environment. I don’t know what you guys think but this sounds like a man who is willing to work on the issues in his department and I agree with him fully when he says that strike action should never reach the point that we no longer care about people’s lives.

Have you been to see an IPL match in the last few weeks? if you have been listening to Tuks FM then you probably would have if you had any luck, we gave away a whole bunch of those tickets, but that’s not my point, the point is that this was a great opportunity for SA I mean Cricket South Africa has made R45 000 000 from this little tournament and I think the Indians have given world Cricket a good example of how to expand the game in terms of fan enjoyment and revenue, think about an IPL match, it’s not just about the cricket it’s about the dancing and all those other little entertainment spin offs that generate huge income, look at IPL teams, not only are they the best Indian players but they have a whole bunch of internationals and South Africans especially, this is what makes a sport wealthy when it becomes like soccer.
