[00:00:00]Loku pulled up for a catch-up. It's really here from 947 afternoons. And if you're here, it means you've got taste.

[00:00:07]Go ahead. Enjoy the moment you missed, but don't ghost me. Weekdays 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. on 947.

[00:00:14]I'm loud and way more fun in real time.

[00:00:17]And [music] yeah, there's more audio magic waiting for you right here. On Primedia Plus.

[00:00:24]Wake up with a bang. HEY, WAKE UP. ANELE and the club. On 947.

[00:00:30]So, remember uh last year when I had my uh Okomkhulu in the Eastern Cape in the Eastern Cape by our farm. What's the one thing you notice about the roads? Oh, it is Look, the road was cool until you had to turn off to the farm. Then it's dirt road, right?

[00:00:45]>> Then it's about dirt road for 10 Ks.

[00:00:47]>> Yeah, and it got it was very rainy, so it got really, really muddy. Everyone was scared they were going to get stuck in the mud. So, you'll imagine my surprise when I walked down and I'm being walked down by my uncles, you know, to come and meet the case, where I saw two cars there. And I was like, well, that was daring. Uh a Bentley, like the Continental, not even the the 4x4, the Continental one, the what the like little coupe one, and a Ferrari. Um you you didn't see them arrive. I watched them arrive. Cuz they were all driving in in the procession. Okay.

[00:01:20]>> was my first thought. I went, and then later, how are you going to get this thing out of here? Luckily, there's a big tractor standing at the back there.

[00:01:27]I know we're going to be pulling out Ferraris out of my Yeah, that TLB definitely had to pull a few cars out of there, but not those two cars. Those cars made it out. But that's not the story. The story is the people who were driving those cars, those weren't their cars. They'd borrowed them to come and flex.

[00:01:44]Sorry?

[00:01:45]I thought it was a Look, we're not going to mention names here. I thought it WAS THEIR CARS. NO.

[00:01:50]>> TO GO to the village. Yes. Because I mean, sorry, the terrain itself suggests that a Ferrari is not a sensible mode of transport even if you own one. At all.

[00:02:01]I have serious questions about the people who loan them those cars because like >> [laughter] >> where you going to take my Ferrari? No, I'm just going off-roading quickly to the to to Anele's thing on the dirt road. And you know what? I then said I was like uh-uh guys, like lovely cars, great that you have friends around you that are like that, successful group, rah rah, well done you guys. But I just think it's a little silly for adults to be loaning things to go and flex at at at people's events or or is it a thing that's done maybe tomorrow? Like is it a thing that's done?

[00:02:30]>> I think people do it a lot more than we'd like to admit. Perhaps not on the the scale of a Ferrari, but I'm sure there are a few people who've asked to use another friend's car to go to a wedding.

[00:02:41]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:02:42]>> design a bag, may I use it for this weekend while I'm away? I don't know why I'm judging. I've loaned out my wigs.

[00:02:50]There you go.

[00:02:51]To elevate somebody else's appearance.

[00:02:53]>> Okay, then then Yeah. Then I take it off but I just think it's weird. Have you ever done that where you maybe you're going to a job interview and you just like I'm going to wear I'm going to borrow your suit jacket cuz you've got a fancy >> a fancy suit jacket. I need to put my best foot forward. I think with social media these days a lot of people like to like to pretend that stuff is theirs.

[00:03:13]And I know a lot of people other people get angry. So you'll see like a cousin post online standing in front of a really fancy car or something.

[00:03:20]>> You're like that's not your car.

[00:03:22]Like guys, I mean think about it.

[00:03:23]Celebrities, influencers, how many times have you guys shot stuff in a rented property?

[00:03:29]>> Mhm. Yes, the place that I had my birthday at the the tennis place years back. That I've seen that house in many reality shows where people are acting like it's their house. I'm like you venue that one.

[00:03:41]>> Yeah, no one lives there. No one lives there. We all live there. That's all our houses.

[00:03:46]>> Cuz you know this one pool and property is very popular with influencers. I know they're almost identical, but not down to your table in the living room."

[00:03:55]You're like, "That snake kettle is not yours." It it's our own that snake kettle. 011-883-8947, have you done this? There ain't no shame in your game. I just told you that sometimes I don't I rent my I don't even I don't even rent my wigs out. I Friends like, "Hey, can I have your long straight Peruvian 18-in I'm like, "Girl, go buy." I I think this is cool. I'd love to hear what you are renting or or borrowing or flexing. Oh, another thing, chafing dishes. Chafing dishes?

[00:04:24]>> the those those black gold dishes that heats to keep food warm.

[00:04:29]>> Yes. Yeah, every now and then we borrow each other those dishes cuz you're having an event at your house and then you you loan it out to your friend.

[00:04:36]>> and that's the thing, people walk in and they go, "Ooh, this thing is so fancy."

[00:04:39]>> Fancy. They're like, "It's Exactly.

[00:04:42]Okay, so okay, not so bad. 011-883-8947, what have you ever loaned something or borrowed something from someone to flex?

[00:04:52]I'm sure that a lot of people have done this for for family-in-law. Like mother-in-law's coming around for the first time, so I phoned Cindy to borrow her fancy pots because I I only have the stainless steel ones, you know.

[00:05:04]>> Or fancy coffee table.

[00:05:05]>> Yeah. 084-000-0947, talk to us. I just hope my friend that has a C-Class and a Porsche is listening to this conversation because I've been saying, "Give me the car, chief. I just want one weekend." Well, so basically, many, many moons ago, my brother just got his very beautiful Nissan Navara bakkie and I used to take it on weekends to go get washed. And once I pull in, you know, the the guys would always ask, "Oh, is that your bakkie?" And I said, "Yeah, no, no, it's my bakkie. It's my bakkie." Yeah, you're driving it, babe, so therefore it is yours. And let's go to Gqeberha. Nomvula, good morning.

[00:05:43]Good morning. How are you?

[00:05:44]>> We're great. How are you, babe?

[00:05:46]I'm awesome, thank you. Okay, so you say you do not own a single pair of these things?

[00:05:51]Not at all.

[00:05:53]But all the Ray-Bans all over my social that I don't own a single pair. Is it the same pair of Ray-Bans or do you use different ones? Different people are giving you their eyes.

[00:06:03]It's the same aunt who has a taste for the finer things in life. So I own all the Ray-Bans. I drive the Merc. I use the electricity.

[00:06:14]>> [laughter] >> Yes.

[00:06:16]I'm deep within her things.

[00:06:19]Yes. So I And Khumbulani, are you using them outside or just when you're with your aunt?

[00:06:26]Just when I'm with her, but she'll let me use the car here and there. Okay.

[00:06:30]Okay, and and which car is it?

[00:06:32]It is a Mercedes-Benz A200 with a sunroof. Okay.

[00:06:39]And you know, I know I know that cuz on those days you open all the windows, even the >> [laughter] >> But this This is the photo shoot we see where you were standing out of the sunroof.

[00:06:48]You know. With your Ray-Bans.

[00:06:51]I love I love it.

[00:06:53]My neighbor just reminded me that the other day I came and I used her oven.

[00:06:58]Does this count, guys? My oven was full cuz I was cooking like a big lunch for people and then I had to make bread. I said, "Irene, girl, I need to come and use your oven.

[00:07:07]Did you post her oven?

[00:07:09]Yes, cuz it's much prettier than mine.

[00:07:10]Exactly. SO THERE IT COUNTS.

[00:07:12]>> THEN IT COUNTS. MICHELLE, GOOD MORNING.

[00:07:15]Good morning. How are you, Mish?

[00:07:18]I'm all right, thanks. How are you?

[00:07:20]>> We're good. You're about to to to drop some truth bombs up in here.

[00:07:26]I am shocked, guys. I don't know if this is a well-known phenomenon.

[00:07:31]Not so much renting or borrowing. I mean, sorry, lending or borrowing. But having the ability to rent bottles at a club. Just blows my mind.

[00:07:45]I never believed it until my ex-colleagues were like, "Google it.

[00:07:50]It's real."

[00:07:51]And my question is, what happens if you attract some hot girls, they come to the table with your verb core or whatever it may be?

[00:08:01]>> Yeah. And they want to have a sip. Okay.

[00:08:04]>> And you have to say no because it's not mine. Okay, so here's what's going on.

[00:08:08]You go to a club, one of these fancy clubs, right? And you rent Hennessy bottles and champagne bottles in the bucket. Yes, you That entire thing. You rent it so that it can fill the table around you so you can attract the required attention, right? But then your marketing budget is not the same as your maintenance budget.

[00:08:32]>> Your PR budget. So, they you come to the Hennessy and the champagne, but you drink the Savannah.

[00:08:38]>> Aha. Is that what you're buying then for everyone who's rented the bottles?

[00:08:42]>> Michelle. You buy them ciders.

[00:08:45]So, it's just to attract them to the table. Yeah.

[00:08:48]>> And then you have to say no. And has this worked on you, Michelle?

[00:08:52]No, thankfully I've never experienced it myself. I like I said, I was in disbelief when I found out it exists.

[00:08:58]Oh. I just don't understand the false pretense because maybe I'm interested in you and then I find out that it's all just a show. But why are you only interested in me because you see the drinks around me? Why can't you be interested in me?

[00:09:11]No, that's what I'm saying. It's not personal. I've never seen it. But if that girl approaches you and she's interested, then what?

[00:09:19]>> But then she deserves to get lied to because why are you only interested IN THE BOTTLES?

[00:09:23]>> [laughter] >> TRUE. I suppose it's true. I just >> Guys, we're all lying to each other.

[00:09:28]Hey, this is not my real hair. No, but I was I was going to say Michelle, but the opportunity for you is there to take a photo with the bottle. You can You can pose with it. You can do an Insta post with it.

[00:09:39]Again, more false pretenses. It's trying to live up to expectations that you can't meet, at least not now. JC le Roux got it.

[00:09:46]>> [laughter] >> Never. Never. I'd rather not drink anything than drink something that I don't enjoy or something that I cannot afford. Uh, Michelle, when was the last time you went to a restaurant and whatever you ordered looked just like the one in the menu, like in the picture?

[00:10:05]What do you mean? So, let's say you go to a pizza joint or you go to a burger joint and you standing there and on the menu there's a picture, right? And then you order that thing and then when it comes, does it look just like what it is in the picture?

[00:10:18]Yes. Yeah. Michelle is saying yes because when she orders a milk stout in a court, it comes like that.

[00:10:25]>> [laughter] >> With the same amount of foam at the top.

[00:10:29]I'm just saying that you use the honey to attract the bees and then upon close inspection What are you a you a Venus flytrap? IS THAT >> [laughter] >> YOU REALIZE THAT THAT'S not honey, it's earwax.

[00:10:43]Take it back now.

[00:10:44]Back to making your morning >> Back with Anele and the club.

[00:10:48]>> this show on 947.
