***CORRECTION. DUE TO MIDDLE-AGE BRAIN ROT - PAULO KEPT CALLING HIS MOVIE RECOMMENDATION, ''PARADISE RESORT'' - IT'S ''PRIVATE RESORT'' AND HE'S AN IDIOT.

CHANGING IT WOULD HAVE DELAYED THIS SHOW AND THE 80S WAIT FOR NO ONE***

You want Michael J. Fox? We’ve got Michael J. Fox and his tell-all documentary. Dori swears she heard some stories for the first time—even though Paulo has told them repeatedly.

If our own co-host doesn’t listen to our nonsense, what hope do we have?

You want Johnny Depp? We’ve got Johnny Depp—and his quaalude-popping, horny granny.

You want Steve Guttenberg? Hell, we’ve got him too—with a story that is so Mahoney.

You want Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Billy Ocean and Sonia? Well, we don’t have them… and you’ll have to listen to find out why.

We remember when telemarketers were fun and encyclopaedias were gold-edged, before wondering if C-Dogg has already had his last dance — and is Billy Joel to blame?

Paulo brings you a movie for people who found Police Academy too intellectual and Pat Morita too distinguished — while both Teen Wolf movies catch strays from their lead actors.

Luckily, Quentin Tarantino is still a fan.

It’s Three 80s Truths and a Lie — The Last Dragon Edition, but Dori struggles to get The Glow.

From East Coast to 5FM to 947, Msizi James has lived the radio hustle — and he’s still one of the cleanest brands in the game (even when the streets are messy). In this episode, we chop it up about building a career without chasing clout, the madness of DJ life, and how sponsors stay lining up for “Mr. Sponsored Himself.”

But it’s not all gloss — we get into the dark side too: personal losses, financial lessons, and why consistency beats trending every time. Then it’s chaos as we debate Springbok strategy, schoolboy rugby monsters, and why soccer stays stuck in scandals while rugby keeps stacking glory.

It’s raw, unfiltered, and fun — Msizi James in full Shady mode. Shady PHodcast Playlist

A “place for his rifle,” “fighting a dragon,” and “whipping yourself in the river” — none are Urban Dictionary euphemisms; all found their way into this week’s show.

Will Paulo and Dori witness a crime before the show is over?

They pass the time with some Dutch Golden Girls in The Hague, where nobody knows your name.

How do you say kaftan in the Netherlands?

Dori saw Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Paulo saw a man’s bum in a bucket — no one won that day.

If not for The Hoff’s charisma, we’d have had a very different Knight Rider.

Today we sit down with the Don, the Legend of South African Radio, TBO Touch, a seasoned broadcaster, DJ, and entrepreneur, reflecting on his journey, mindset, and philosophy towards success, longevity, and personal growth.

The discussion covers the realities behind apparent success, the importance of discipline, strategic pivoting during one’s prime, and nurturing both personal and professional foundations. Touch emphasizes the significance of guarding one’s peace, investing in family, and building a legacy beyond fleeting fame and social media validation. He shares insights on how the entertainment industry and society have evolved, particularly highlighting the challenges creatives face in today’s fast-paced, shortcut-driven world. Touch also critiques cultural and spiritual degradation, linking it to broader societal and economic forces he refers to as the "mark of the beast," urging creatives to stay grounded in principles and faith. The conversation also touches on the pitfalls of influencer culture, human trafficking disguised under false vocational training programs, and the necessity of making conscious, value-driven decisions. Finally, Touch articulates his vision for future growth, balancing life between continents, and continuing to sow seeds for long-term impact rather than immediate gains.

Key Takeaway Moments:

Success is idiosyncratic and requires more than following generic steps; it demands full commitment and discipline.
Longevity in any career demands sacrifice, especially prioritizing family and foundational stability over short-term gains.
True global citizenship comes from nurturing yourself and your network, not merely traveling or showing off.
The pain of discipline and strategic pivoting during one’s prime is necessary for sustainable success.
The creative arts sector is under unique pressure today, with the dilution of genuine talent and values due to societal and spiritual decay.
Influencer culture can sometimes unknowingly promote harmful agendas, such as human trafficking disguised as vocational opportunities.
Building a legacy requires vision beyond immediate rewards, focusing on planting seeds that benefit future generations. Shady PHodcast Playlist

Where do we even start? From a shock loss on the rugby field to a government “national dialogue” that looks like chaos in conference form — this episode tears into the week’s biggest headlines and asks the awkward questions everyone’s scrolling past.

We sit with Jack of All Trades, Amahle Jaxx Jaxa — content creator, event don, political commentator, and absolute voice-of-the-people — to unpack:

Why the Springboks’ loss to Australia might actually be a character test, not an apocalypse.
The national dialogue fiasco: R450–700m later, who’s actually being heard — and who’s being gaslit?
The taxi economy mess: how failed public transport turned into private power, lawlessness and road chaos.
Jack’s jump from events to TikTok politics — and why new media is the only thing getting young people to care.

This episode is equal parts hot-take and hand-wring — we laugh, we rant, and we get uncomfortably real about leadership, accountability and what genuine citizen engagement should look like.

Must-listen highlights
• National Dialogue = expensive theatre or real change?
• Taxi industry breakdown = governance failing in real time.
• New media wins: accessible political talk that actually lands with youth.

Many didn’t think it was possible that the Boks could be humbled at home. But they have been, and most worryingly, they have been by Australia. The Ellis Park test caused a major shockwave through the nation, so much so that there are suddenly a lot more questions than answers on the table. To sort this out for us, Harry Jones from the Lekker Rugby Pod joins us to share his wonderful rugby mind. The Real Network

Kate Turkington kicks off with a witty travel story before chatting to the co-founder of the Festival of Excellence in Dramatic Arts (FEDA) — a three-week showcase of over 60 high school plays, most written by the students themselves. They unpack the bold themes young people are exploring on stage, from gender-based violence to mental health, and share behind-the-scenes moments that prove theatre in South Africa is alive, daring, and thriving.

15.08.2025 pt 2 In this episode, Gareth and Ben dive into the complex debate around multiculturalism, arguing that while Europe’s model has eroded cultural identity, South Africa’s unique mix of traditions thrives without forced assimilation. They slam the homogenisation of culture into bland commercialism and champion cultural pride. The conversation shifts to Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad controversy, poking fun at the small but loud group of critics and exploring modern attitudes toward beauty and body image.

From there, we share the story of Chloe Walker, who underwent forehead reduction surgery to boost her confidence, sparking a discussion on cosmetic surgery, self-improvement, and moving beyond childhood insecurities. In a bizarre turn, they dissect reports of Vladimir Putin traveling with a bulletproof suitcase containing his own bodily waste to avoid espionage, noting the paranoia and ego such measures reveal. The show wraps with a listener poll on the new three-hour format, with most respondents disliking it — though the gents vow to push ahead regardless. The Real Network

15.08.2025 pt 1 On our final Friday show before a major format change, Gareth and Ben delivered a whirlwind of sports, politics, and jaw-dropping oddities. They kicked off with news that Fridays will soon be longer and packed with live guests, before diving into Ben’s golf plans and a comical look at Donald Trump’s armored “Batmobile” golf cart. The sporting lineup was huge — from the Rugby Championship and MTN8 semi-finals to Premier League kick-off and UFC 319’s explosive showdown between Drius and Kamzat.

The conversation took stranger turns with an outrageous 1970s tale dubbed tape,” mixing disbelief with dark humour, and a sharp discussion about violent taxi versus e-hailing clashes in Soweto. The hosts also unpacked global politics — from New Zealand’s criticism of Israel to the UK’s royal gossip — while never straying too far from the banter and audience interaction that keep their community hooked.

It was a send-off show that had everything: high-stakes sport, political fire, absurd human behaviour, and street-level South African realities — a perfect snapshot of why the live format keeps our audience coming back. The Real Network

This is the one where Paulo and Dori create two great ’80s sitcoms and one movie sequel that definitely would have been rented back in the day.

We kick off the show by slapping our Willis during Diff’rent Strokes. Then we assess ’80s sitcom dads and wonder if we’d still be friends after being adopted.

Dori’s movie features a computer that really wants to hurt you, while Paulo’s has more baby lotion than plot.

Finally, if you got fired as a kid but ended up as Jae Bae – did you really lose?

On this week's episode we’re unpacking the latest mess — Open Chats pod dropping wild, offensive comments about the coloured community and catching smoke from politicians, civil society, and basically the whole of Mzansi. Is Minister Gayton Mckenzie under fire? Lets find out..

Warras and PH get real about how podcasting is now the Wild West — anyone with a mic can say anything, but without media training or a filter, you can end up pushing harmful stereotypes faster than you can say “clip for TikTok.”
We’re talking free speech vs. accountability in a country still carrying the scars of our racial past, and how social media can either start a movement or light the wrong kind of fire. From why public apologies flop, to the awkward landmines of cultural nuance, the gents break it down with their usual mix of sense and banter.

Then — plot twist — we shift into the bedroom talk nobody’s having loud enough: antibiotic-resistant STIs, the disappearing sex-ed in schools, and what responsible sexual freedom even looks like in 2025. Heavy? Yes. Boring? Never.

Of course, it’s still Shady, so you’re getting the laughs, the side stories, the family chaos, and the shout-outs to what’s popping in culture right now. Serious convos, messy truths, and jokes that will have you in trouble at work — all in one. Shady PHodcast Playlist

13.08.2025 pt 2 In a wide-ranging and unapologetically honest chat, comedian Kurt takes us from the smell of leather bench seats in classic cars to the uncomfortable sting of racism, making the case for humor as a bridge between people. Along the way, he rips into modern cars’ soulless designs, the quirks of South Africa’s “celebrity” class, and why some insults sting more in certain cultures than others. There’s no sacred cow — whether it’s customer service disasters, the politics of apologies, or the absurdity of cancel culture, Kurt calls it as he sees it.

The conversation swerves between personal and political — one minute dissecting the global decline of genuine fame through the lens of Will Smith, the next debating the raw power of swear words and whether censoring them just makes them stronger. From the grind of running a comedy club to the difference between killing it on stage versus online, it’s a masterclass in navigating the modern cultural minefield — all ending with a hilariously bittersweet sign-off about birthdays, ghosted dates, and funeral fashion. The Real Network

13.08. 2025 pt 1 Comedians Dave Levinson and Kurt Schoonrat join Gareth in studio for a mix of sharp wit, war stories from the stage, and some brutal honesty about life in comedy and South Africa. From overpriced steaks and coffee shop economics to the chaos of early shows and the reality of hecklers, it’s a hilarious yet revealing look at the hustle behind the punchlines.

The conversation swerves from absurd bathroom encounters and bizarre dreams to bigger questions about leadership, politics, and the state of the nation. It’s part roast, part reality check – with just enough satire to make the truth go down a little easier. The Real Network

Parenting expert Dr. Ken Resnik joins to flip the script on modern parenting trends, pushing for calm authority, boundaries, and fostering independence over overprotection.

The decline in basic social skills and etiquette, accelerated by generational shifts and tech dependence, is eroding how we connect — at home, at work, and in society at large. Parenting today faces a maze of conflicting advice, overdiagnosis, and societal pressures. Dr. Resnik offers clarity with practical, calm, and structured guidance. The crossroads of technology, mental health, and social behavior demands balance — ensuring innovation supports, not replaces, the emotional depth of human relationships.

From the erosion of manners to the modern parenting maze, from AI’s promise to its pitfalls, the episode is a call for common sense, resilience, and genuine connection in a distracted world. The Real Network

The team signs off their final Monday show before moving to Fridays with a sharp, unfiltered dive into hot-button topics — starting with the furore over politician Gayton McKenzie’s use of a racial slur. They challenge the social media outrage cycle, calling for resilience, context, and less performative anger. There’s a nostalgic but pragmatic look at how radio has evolved, why clinging to the past risks irrelevance, and how audiences have shifted.

Joined by renowned psychologist and head of the Anxiety and Trauma Clinic in Johannesburg, DR Hanan Bushkin as the they speak on more increased number of Gen Z turning to AI chatbots for mental health solution and support. The Real Network

08.08.25 Pt 1 - Gareth Cliff and Ben Karpinski kick off Friday with the lukewarm cultural clash of Sydney Sweeney vs Beyoncé — a debate no one asked for but everyone seems to have an opinion on.

Paulo feels XXXtra Strong, while Dori can’t believe the price of Chappies.

We uncover some of the weirdest sitcoms from the '80s — and surprisingly, none of them carried the bizarre 2-21 age restriction enjoyed by Emmanuelle 1–12.

Dori reviews a Shifty podcast, while Paulo finds out what happens when Monty Python, Cheech & Chong, Mel Brooks’ troupe, and David Bowie play pirate dress-up.

Finally, Rod Stewart really shouldn’t be allowed near ChatGPT — and The Pogues are definitely going to ruin our Christmas.

We also realise no one needs a new Rubik's Cube, Paulo uncovers a new fetish, and The Hoff will forever be the most-watched man on TV.

Paulo and Dori come to you from a secret German bunker — The Hoff is down here, and so are Nena and Alphaville.

But after this show, we don't think we'll be so big in Berlin.

We right some wrongs from last week's show, which includes more sexy sax music than we remember — and dead gnomes.

How many '80s movies were made on cocaine? The easier question is: how many weren't?

We find out how Bill Murray made Hunter S. Thompson look silly, why Paulo hates City of Angels, and what happens when you slow down Kylie Minogue.

Finally, we're voting for our favourite '80s ballad, and Paulo is tempted to give it to an animated cat.

Paulo found a movie staring Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett that featured a lot of nudity. And only 10% of it was Farrah Fawcett.

A millennial blogger has a few problems with Back to the Future, we in turn have a few problems with a millennial blogger and you'll never believe who's the Ted Danson doppelgänger.

An 80s frontman takes a swing at Taylor Swift. We do not want to be his social media manager right now.

Lost-core meets Hardcore as Paulo and Dori tie up a loose end from a past show. Two mysterious ‘’80s’’ songs appeared on the internet and the sleuths got to work.

Sleuths and pervs.

Halloween costumes got us having odd thoughts about E.T. as well as Roger and Jessica Rabbit’s children! Humans with rabbit ears or rabbits with human ears?!?

Paulo hasn’t slept since.

Dori confused the internet with her movie recommendation and Paulo just confused himself. When a main stream movie couldn’t get a lead actress due to the amount of full frontal nudity and a person on set focused on making a merkin - you know you have our interest.

What 80s song would your drunk uncle dance to at your wedding? We find out thanks to Spotify and Mr T had TWO shows in the 80s where his character is jailed for a crime he didn’t commit, so if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you need a bowtie.

Dori beats Paulo in an 80s quiz and sucks his life force….out his mouth!

Dori doesn’t want to see an American Psycho remake, less Patrick Bateman and more Jason Bateman & The Dregs of Society.

It's doccie time with the life story of Gary Coleman and the death stories of 80s hair band members.

The resurrection theme continues in Dori's movie of the week while Paulo's movie is so silly it's almost art.

As we celebrate #BTTFDAY24 we examine the technology that came true and the ones that never materialised. We're looking at you, hoverboards.

Milli Vanilli are back in the charts for the first time in over 30 years, and you gotta blame it on something.

In less murderous brother news - Paulo reveals the names of the little dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble which prompts us to try to name their girlfriends with sub-par results.

What were the Seinfeld cast up to in the 80s just before they became mega-stars, and Paulo thought Cheetara was the only scantily-clad, cat-like humanoid he had eyes for...until he watched Rock and Rule.

To wrap up we wonder how Tiffany is going to imagine her 80s hits and realise that a cult may have inspired Footloose.

Nothing like a dirty old 80s deck to get the show started!

Paulo wanted Michael Knight to be his dad and Thomas Anders is a dzaddy.

Also, 80s dogs were d**ks, you shouldn't be an old Josh and Cyndi Lauper proves that girls just wanna do suplexes.

There was once a great emperor, who ruled over the most cosmopolitan and rich empire. This emperor built skyscrapers, palaces, giant statues and ruled for half a century. This isn’t the start of a fairytale, and it isn’t the story you might expect. This emperor was a woman... and she ruled a millennium and a half ago - in China.

The Golden Age was named for Elizabeth I, the great virgin queen of England. During her reign, Shakespeare and Marlowe wrote masterpieces, Sir Francis Drake sailed across the world, the Spanish Armada was defeated, and England reached its apogee. At the centre of it all was Elizabeth, resplendent in jewels, makeup, finery and glory.

Cleopatra VII lived at a great intersection of history... where Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome collided. She was undoubtedly one of the personalities of the age - and a woman of tremendous power and influence. While the story ended in Shakespearean tragedy, to have seen history unfold through her eyes was to have a front row seat to the destiny of the world

Though equally loved and vilified by modern historians and analysts, it is beyond question that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Great Britain remains one of the most audacious women of history. This Iron Lady, who came to be respected by her enemies and friends alike, held firm in the face of strikes, wars, ideology and treachery. Her legacy may still be a controversial one, but even the most chauvinist right-winger or unionist feminist can likely agree that she was formidable on an international scale.

She is revered the world over as a saint, but is there more to her story? Mother Teresa devoted her life to the poorest of the poor in a country that wasn’t even the one of her birth. Intensely pious and dogmatic, she has been criticised in the years since for creating a cult of death and taking money from some unscrupulous characters.

Women in 2024 talk about sexism and not being taken seriously by the scientific, corporate or engineering world. Imagine what that was like during World War Two? Hedy Lamarr was called the most beautiful woman in the world, but in her own words, she wished they’d been more interested in her brain. In fact, you might actually be listening to us via a technology she played a part in developing, right now…

In a time of men - of the enlightenment and of extraordinary change, a young German princess found herself at the reigns of the great Russian Empire. Her cunning, hunger and strategic mind made her the perfect leader for a country that might have stayed medieval and backward when all of Europe was advancing. She was never anyone’s wife or lover - she made the rules. Catherine the Great was precisely that... great.

With six albums hitting the top 10 on the UK album charts - including a No. 1 album - we are joined on this episode of Celeb Savant by British singer and songwriter, Frank Turner. Frank tells us about being in the industry since the age of 16, the behind-the-scenes of what happens on tour and about his successful journey in the industry.

Eva Perón was born poor, unimportant and ordinary, but she was ambitious. Her ambition was so great that it propelled her into power, influence, glamour and wealth. By the time she died at only 33, she received one of the most ostentatious funerals ever held - and ever since, Argentina has considered her a saint.

Paulo and Dori mention two separate 80s celebs' nipples before we hit the three-minute mark… It’s going to be one of those shows.
We start on a slip-slioppery slope before adopting the mantra WWJLD—What Would Johnny Lawrence Do? We ask whether you would buy pants from Brooke Shields or would you prefer her genes.
We talk about "Jacked" Gyllenhaal in the Roadhouse remake, question if Kevin Bacon was all that, and Paulo hits a literal low with his movie of the week.
Breakdancing and Flava Flav bring the 80s to the Olympics and can Paulo guess Dori's star sign based on her favourite 80s movies?

In July 1992, a young mother was murdered on Wimbledon Common as her two-year-old son looked on. Her death would lead to one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in British criminal history, as a man was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.

For three decades, the person who shouldered the blame for this was the country’s leading forensic psychologist, Professor Paul Britton, who finally breaks his silence in a series of exclusive interviews on the 90-minute special, The Murder That Changed Britain.

How much of your mother tongue are you speaking in the household?

Over 60% of Americans cited violent crime as a core election issue in the 2022 midterms. Seeing it spread, and the failures of leaders in his own hometown of Portland, Oregon - Matt Thornton (Conor McGregor’s coach’s coach, and one of the first American jiu-jitsu black belts), decided to write a guidebook, which provides the average person with all the knowledge they need to survive a violent encounter. In short, it's designed to help good people become more dangerous to bad people. Gareth Cliff delves deeper into Matt's ideology in this interview.

South African foreign correspondent Al J Venter returned from the Central African Republic six weeks ago, having had personal experience of a Russian mercenary force that has virtually taken over an African state. The international community is now familiar with the activities of the Moscow-run Wagner Group, an exploitative military force that is currently active in several African countries - among them the CAR, Mali, Burkina Faso, parts of Libya and before that, Mozambique. In the process, mines and raw resources are being taken over by force and any opposition summarily dealt with, no questions asked. This Russian force also ingratiates itself with the government, gradually supplanting law and order with military force, and killing those who stand in its way, or are even suspected of opposing its will. How much longer is the world community going to allow these inhuman rights transgressions to continue? When are African nations themselves going to make a stand? Find out more in this compelling, exclusive interview.

Ultimately, he faced justice in a way few war criminals did, but the blood he spilt in the twentieth century is a stain on Japan’s history. Taylor Blinds & Shutters
