The Gareth Cliff Show Extra
Special features from The Gareth Cliff Show.

The first rule of Intern Fight Club, is that you DO talk about Intern Fight Club! A chat with intern Amanda about going out clubbing and drinking suddenly turns violent…
#GCSpodlet - The One Percent
How much do you need to earn to be part of the 1% globally? It's probably less than you thought…
#GCSpodlet - Going Underground...
The team uncovers the amazing 'underground' (literally) economy that is associated with illegal mining... from food and clothes, to sex and even airtime - it's a whole world of its own!
#GCSpodlet - Team 'Creepy Old Man'
Sarah from Kenya calls in to tell the team about how her boss has been chasing after her for years. Ben compares his behaviour to animals in the wild, and then seems to feel some empathy for creepy old men everywhere.
Marthinus Fourie - MD of bsmart
There is simply no avoiding that we all need to be smarter with our money and expenditure. Marthinus Fourie, MD of the aptly named 'bsmart', discusses this subject with Gareth, sharing some key insights, and how his business offers a cash back rewards card that offers genuine value for money…
#GCSpodlet - Vagina Privilege
Gareth is obsessed with Caitlyn Jenner's genitals... so the team dissects the issue at length.
#GCSpodlet - Who Talks Like That?!
Gareth plays a parody clip of how news readers would sound if they spoke the same way as they do while presenting the headlines in real life... why do they speak like that and who is perpetuating these habits?
#GCSpodlet - Hanky Habits
With the cold of winter settling in, the team tries to figure out the best ways to stay healthy and ward off nasty colds and flus. Ben has some harsh words for anyone who still uses handkerchiefs... and nobody disagrees with him!
#GCSpodlet - Long Drop Turn-Ups
What are level 4 water restrictions... and more importantly, what comes after level 4? Gareth is somewhat unsympathetic, while also trying to see how he can make a profit from Cape Town's dry situation. And then of course Ben suggests the ultimate solution.
‘How to Argue Better’ with Mbali Njomane: Part 5 - Arguing for Impact
Arguing for impact. Are ideas more powerful than people? Mbali believes so as ideas can last longer than people, but they are reliant on people to implement them. She has some important commandments to prove this, and how you can harness such wisdom for good in the argument stakes.

Are you worried about the supposed 'suicide game' Blue Whale that is allegedly doing the rounds? Critical Thinking and Ethics lecturer Jacques Rousseau sets the record straight…

#GCSpodlet - 'Side Chick' Scandals
Mabale's news covers the ongoing saga of the Gigabas and 'side chick' Buhle Mkhize. Gareth reveals a message he received from Buhle and why he responded the way he did... which leads to a discussion about why men are never blamed in affairs.

Michael - who is moving to Canada - calls in to chat. He gets a special version of his soon-to-be new national anthem sung to him... by Gareth.
‘How to Argue Better’ with Mbali Njomane: Part 4 - Black & White Thinking

Gareth springs into an interesting history lesson which becomes a short history of human sexuality. Would we be sexual savages if it wasn’t for political order and religion coming into our lives?

#GCSpodlet - Smart Toilet Humour
Lucas tells the team about smart furniture, and how you might soon be able to get a couch that talks to you. Ben moves the topic to the bathroom and the idea of how much a smart toilet could benefit your life... so of course things get very lavatorial from…
