- 0:00Speaker 1: Stop.
- 0:00Speaker 2: Stop what you're doing. Here is another world famous.
- 0:03Speaker 3: Prank call from Darren Wackhead Simpson. Exclusive to KFM Mornings.
- 0:11Speaker 1: So it was nice to see the mayor roll out
- 0:15Speaker 1: the SWAT team of Cape Town yesterday. We've seen these
- 0:19Speaker 1: vehicles in movies. Did you see that?
- 0:21Speaker 3: Now, when you say SWAT team, what do you mean?
- 0:24Speaker 1: Well, apparently we've got a SWAT team now.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Is this new for us? Are we in danger?
- 0:29Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a unit before, but they were never
- 0:33Speaker 1: called SWAT. They were... I don't know. They had a name.
- 0:40Speaker 1: But now it's like SWAT. Like the vehicle says SWAT.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Special Weapons and Tactics. Just like the movies. Yeah.
- 0:50Speaker 3: There's an actual movie called SWAT.
- 0:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Do you know how many police officers we have in
- 0:55Speaker 1: South Africa? We have 187,000.
- 0:58Speaker 3: 681.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Do you know how many private security offices we have
- 1:05Speaker 1: in South Africa?
- 1:05Speaker 3: Significantly more.
- 1:08Speaker 1: 637,000. The ratio is 3.4 to 1. And that's not
- 1:14Speaker 1: a good thing. No, that's not a good thing.
- 1:17Speaker 2: You know?
- 1:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:18Speaker 1: It's like when you drive into an area and you
- 1:21Speaker 1: see electric fencing and you see burglar bars on all
- 1:24Speaker 1: the windows.
- 1:25Speaker 3: You go, oh.
- 1:27Speaker 1: This is not... a safe place to be. You know,
- 1:30Speaker 1: some of it's just precautionary. Some of it's for real,
- 1:34Speaker 1: you know. So private security is a massive industry, as
- 1:39Speaker 1: we know. It's almost as big as the smash burger
- 1:43Speaker 1: industry in Cape Town. Almost as big. Not yet. Private security,
- 1:51Speaker 1: you've got a fair way to go.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:55Speaker 1: So I'm phoning up a random... private security company. But
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'm taking on the persona of a very paranoid husband. Because,
- 2:11Speaker 1: you know, you can outsource your private security, but you
- 2:15Speaker 1: can't outsource keeping eyes on your wife. When you have
- 2:21Speaker 1: certain suspicions.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Alright.
- 2:24Speaker 1: So, you know, some security companies now, they offer... medical.
- 2:31Speaker 1: They offer fire as well. They've got all these add-ons.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Yeah, you press that panic button and they come flying.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Yeah. So I wanted to find out what extra add-ons
- 2:42Speaker 1: the security company had for me as this very paranoid
- 2:47Speaker 1: husband slash neighbor.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Good afternoon. I'm Gerard speaking. How may I assist you?
- 2:55Speaker 3: Yes, please.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I need to inquire about getting a security solution for
- 2:59Speaker 1: my house, please.
- 3:00Speaker 4: All right. Would you like a question or how can
- 3:04Speaker 4: we assist you?
- 3:05Speaker 1: What is it that you offer?
- 3:07Speaker 4: Anything from electric fencing to gates and motors.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Sounding good to me.
- 3:13Speaker 4: And monitoring and response, those kind of things.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Sounding fantastic. Do you know, meet Gerard. I'm Gerard. Look,
- 3:21Speaker 1: I need to protect my house from my neighbor. That's
- 3:25Speaker 1: who I'm specifically looking to protect myself from.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Okay.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, I don't like him at all. His
- 3:32Speaker 1: name is Peter, and I think he's a piece of trash.
- 3:38Speaker 4: I wonder.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Because it seems that my wife has taken a bit
- 3:41Speaker 1: of a liking to Peter.
- 3:43Speaker 5: So, we're a response company. We don't do domestic violence.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I understand that, but what I'm trying to do is
- 3:54Speaker 1: keep this man out of my house because what I'm
- 3:56Speaker 1: thinking is that when I go to work at 7.30
- 3:58Speaker 1: in the morning, he's coming over. The infidelity happening within
- 4:02Speaker 1: my marriage.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I would like to advise that you would then speak
- 4:05Speaker 4: to a lawyer about this because the armed response team
- 4:07Speaker 4: won't be able to... do anything about domestic issues.
- 4:12Speaker 1: This is about guarding my property. I think she likes
- 4:14Speaker 1: them too because all I hear when I come home
- 4:16Speaker 1: from work, Peter this, Peter that. You know what Peter did?
- 4:19Speaker 1: You know what Peter did? Oh, Peter's a chiropractor. Great.
- 4:22Speaker 1: You should let Peter have a look at your back.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'd rather let Captain Hook do a
- 4:26Speaker 1: prostate exam on me.
- 4:31Speaker 4: Can I get your details so then I can make
- 4:33Speaker 4: sure that the staff person does come back to you
- 4:36Speaker 4: and tries to explain.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I need the full kit. I need you to throw
- 4:43Speaker 1: everything at it. I need you to look at it
- 4:44Speaker 1: as if you are guarding the White House. I need
- 4:54Speaker 1: six German Shepherds patrolling that wall. I need six German Shepherds.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Can you give them to me?
- 4:58Speaker 4: Okay, I need a moat to be put right around
- 5:01Speaker 4: my building.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Okay, and I also need you to put.
- 5:09Speaker 4: I think that to me still people will have a
- 5:13Speaker 4: problem with that.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I need you to put an obstacle course between my
- 5:17Speaker 1: house and his house, one like you see on Takeshi's castle.
- 5:21Speaker 1: It's going to take him at least one hour to
- 5:23Speaker 1: get through it. Probably by the time he gets to
- 5:25Speaker 1: my house, he's going to be too tired to do
- 5:27Speaker 1: anything with my wife anyways.
- 5:30Speaker 4: I hope for your safety. I think that would go
- 5:33Speaker 4: against all laws.
- 5:35Speaker 1: When he triggers a beam, I want a SWAT team
- 5:37Speaker 1: that can rain down on a sunny day like a
- 5:40Speaker 1: monkey's wedding.
- 5:41Speaker 5: Like I explained to you, sir, we do not provide
- 5:46Speaker 5: canine units.
- 5:47Speaker 4: We cannot take our response modes. Even if it really
- 5:53Speaker 4: was going on, I doubt she'd be in what person
- 5:57Speaker 4: would be dumb enough to do it at her own house.
- 6:00Speaker 4: they would obviously find other places, not even just your house.
- 6:04Speaker 4: There's no real way that you can keep that away.
- 6:07Speaker 4: But as far as security is concerned, and if you're
- 6:11Speaker 4: worried about your family's security, then we can obviously help
- 6:14Speaker 4: you with that.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I need two snipers on my roof. Can you provide that?
- 6:19Speaker 4: No, you cannot provide snipers. If I was you, first
- 6:24Speaker 4: of all, I'd get a very good lawyer because you
- 6:28Speaker 4: can't address it like that. And obviously you'll have to
- 6:32Speaker 4: catch them red-handed, you know, pictures, videos or whatever. Or
- 6:38Speaker 4: get messages or emails or something. That's substantial proof that
- 6:44Speaker 4: your wife is in fact.
- 6:47Speaker 1: I mean, he only moved in at the beginning of
- 6:48Speaker 1: the month. And I just look at this guy and
- 6:52Speaker 1: he seems like one of those guys that he can
- 6:54Speaker 1: win any lady over. Do you know what I mean?
- 6:56Speaker 1: 17 years. Not to my knowledge, no. But this guy
- 7:09Speaker 1: can sing. He's buff. He works out at the gym.
- 7:13Speaker 1: He can certainly sing a decent Marvin Gaye track.
- 7:18Speaker 4: Well, it seems like you know a lot more about
- 7:20Speaker 4: him than your wife does.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Well, I've just been watching him with the binoculars and
- 7:25Speaker 1: I can hear him sing all these nice songs that
- 7:29Speaker 1: make the ladies go weak at the knees. If I
- 7:35Speaker 1: had to try to serenade you now... Let's get it on. Let's...
- 7:39Speaker 1: Let's get it on.
- 7:40Speaker 3: He's always smelling of.
- 7:41Speaker 4: He's got a nice cologne, like Aramis or something. How
- 8:05Speaker 4: close are you to your neighbour?
- 8:07Speaker 1: You know, I'm like a.
- 8:08Speaker 4: I mean, it sounds like you have a affair with
- 8:11Speaker 4: your neighbour or something.
- 8:13Speaker 2: You know, I.
- 8:14Speaker 4: No man can tell me how other guys smell. And
- 8:18Speaker 4: how would you know that it is aromas?
- 8:21Speaker 1: Well, there just are no colognes, you know? OK.
- 8:24Speaker 4: I will make sure that the salesperson gets back to you, sir.
- 8:28Speaker 4: I hope that your problem gets resolved soon. Yeah. Can
- 8:33Speaker 4: you speak to your wife, please?
- 8:35Speaker 5: I doubt that she's actually having something to do with
- 8:39Speaker 5: your neighbour, but, yeah.
- 8:42Speaker 1: His name is a guy called Wackett Simpson.
- 8:45Speaker 5: Hi.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Hi.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Do you always offer marital advice with your queries?
- 8:54Speaker 4: Well, I hope.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Because it sounds like he's... I wouldn't go that far.
- 9:02Speaker 4: It's preposterous.
- 9:07Speaker 1: She's wonderful, eh?
- 9:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 9:09Speaker 1: She had the whole counseling session there.
- 9:12Speaker 3: She was invested. Trained for all kinds of things.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Well, I want six German Shepherds. This man can sing.
- 9:23Speaker 1: That's a super talent. Guys, you can have a six
- 9:26Speaker 1: pack and picks, but if you can sing, That's a
- 9:29Speaker 1: different skill set altogether.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Use it responsibly.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Does this work on you? Let's get it on. No,
- 9:38Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying? This is Shaggy. Appropriate song.
- 9:44Speaker 1: What an iconic song, eh? That was one of those
- 9:47Speaker 1: songs of our history that we'll never forget. It wasn't me.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Shaggy here on KFM Mornings. So just on that... note,
- 9:58Speaker 1: I said, you know, guys, if you can sing, you know,
- 10:00Speaker 1: it's offsides. You know what I mean?
- 10:03Speaker 3: You're in a different league.
- 10:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:07Speaker 3: And you hope that that gift is given to people
- 10:10Speaker 3: who will use it with honor and responsibility.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Well, speaking of which, enter one Mr. Eby Inglis.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Exactly. And Eby invited us to his wife's 50th birthday,
- 10:23Speaker 2: myself and my wife. And everything went well. And he's
- 10:27Speaker 2: obviously now emceeing the whole thing. And then Eby came.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Breaks out into song.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Serenades.
- 10:32Speaker 1: No, that's not right.
- 10:34Speaker 2: And serenades his wife.
- 10:35Speaker 1: In front of all the other husbands.
- 10:37Speaker 2: All of us.
- 10:37Speaker 1: And their wives.
- 10:38Speaker 2: All of us.
- 10:39Speaker 1: No, that's not right.
- 10:40Speaker 2: It's a great party trick. And the song. But the song, though.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Callum Scott, you're the reason. Oh, no. Like the notes,
- 10:47Speaker 2: he hits it. He does it like perfect.
- 10:49Speaker 1: No.
- 10:49Speaker 3: And knowing EB, was he walking, working the crowd, working
- 10:54Speaker 3: the room, making eye contact with his wifey.
- 10:57Speaker 1: And your wife.
- 10:59Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, what do you bring to the table?
- 11:01Speaker 2: And then afterwards, I was like, Ibi, you can't do
- 11:04Speaker 2: this to us, man.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I bring a Hyundai Elantra to the table.
- 11:08Speaker 2: What must we do now for our wives?
- 11:11Speaker 3: Ibi, raise the bar.
- 11:14Speaker 1: No, that's against the bro code. Seriously, you don't do
- 11:16Speaker 1: that in front of other people's wives.
- 11:18Speaker 3: What is your talent? What can you show off with
- 11:22Speaker 3: in that situation? If you can't sing... What can you do? Hey,
- 11:28Speaker 3: set up a mic and do a show. Tell a joke.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Make her laugh. That stuff happens behind closed doors.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Skilled in other departments.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Offside, Ibby.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Offside.
- 11:41Speaker 1: We could never be friends. We got some messages here
- 11:45Speaker 1: from the prank this morning.
- 11:46Speaker 3: This woman needs a medal.
- 11:48Speaker 2: The way she goes from giving you security advice... to
- 11:51Speaker 2: being your therapist and maintaining her composure.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I like how she protected that wife.
- 11:58Speaker 2: That's you, you the problem.
- 12:01Speaker 1: His name is a guy called Wackhead Simpson.
- 12:09Speaker 3: I got that, yeah.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Okay, it's 27 minutes after 8 o'clock. Let's get a
- 12:15Speaker 1: quick look at those roads, please, Sherlyn.
