What’s the saving tip that someone swears by, but you don’t believe? · Anele and the Club on 947

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wake up with a bang.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, wake up!
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Anele and the club. On 947.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Boiled eggs are here to rile Frankie up once again.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: No way. We've moved on from Ryan. Now we're going
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to Matt Flax, who, by the way, had a phenomenal
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: set at Joe Big Day.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: High fives to him. He had the dancing pear as well.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Dude, Medflex. Let me tell you something, Medflex. I didn't
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: know you were such a party starter. I didn't know it,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: but now I know. I've clocked your game. Anyway, Medflex
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: is telling us about his grandmother and boiled eggs.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I'm even scared to send the story with the shenanigans
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: you've had with boiled eggs this week. But it reminded
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: me of a story. I went to visit my gran.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I cracked open an egg and it was already pre-boiled.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Turns out whenever she's got hot water, whether she's making
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: pasta or tea or whatever it is, she will boil
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: eggs so that she doesn't waste the heat of the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: water in her words. But then she just mixes it
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: back in with the other eggs. So you never know
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: what's hard boiled. Even she doesn't know which is hard boiled.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: She'll sometimes reboil it just to be safe.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: That's actually such an hilarious story.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: This is wild because... Like, guys, I'm all about saving, hey?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: But not to these levels.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not to these levels.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I have so many questions because... Why are we playing
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: like an egg lottery?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Because she's saving electricity, Tembe Gilead. This is what people
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: do because they think they're saving electricity. Now, I'm no electrician,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: nor do I work at ESCOM, but I can tell
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you now, this is not saving electricity. You think it is,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: but it's not.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's very little, I think. But I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: get it, though, because I often, if I'm boiling the kettle,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: then I will look around. Last night, I was doing
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: some dishes, and the water had gone cold in the sink,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: but I'd boiled the kettle for whatever I was cooking.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, let me add the water here so
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I don't waste the hot water. Yeah, that makes sense.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: But I mean, like, this egg thing. Now, if she
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: wants to make a cake and now she takes the
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: egg and she cracks it and it's boiled. Now, what happens?
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: She stops making a cake and she eats a boiled
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: egg quickly.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: So now you're eating the egg because it's boiled.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, and it's there. And when you've done the pit stop,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: you carry on making a cake. And now you've got
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: energy to.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Make the egg. But to Cindy's point, what if you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: need four eggs and you're going through your tray and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they're all boiled?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: All two are boiled. Guys, then you eat four eggs.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: What's the problem?
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: And then you don't get to make your cake.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you won't because now you've got energy because
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you've got protein.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So you're going to go to the shop.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: No, guys, this theory, I mean, it's similar to my
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: late grandmother thinking that the louder you played the radio
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and the music, the more electricity that was chowing. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: she couldn't do a loud radio. I love that. Lower
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the volume, my babes.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, my grandmother would not want you to put hot, hot,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: hot food into the fridge because she would say you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: killing the electricity because now the fridge has to, like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: really has to take in more electricity, you know, to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: gear up.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Put us back into it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: To cool down your food. So she would always say,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: wait for the food to cool down all the way
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: cold and then put it into Tupperware and then put
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it into the fridge.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: For some reason, I thought she had a point. My
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: grandmother used to, they were big on saving water.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Right. So we used to have an old creepy crawly
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: pipe that runs from her. She had a flatlet on
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the side of the house. From her flatlet bath outlet
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: to the fruit trees. But the problem is, I don't
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: know what you used to bath in, but there's a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: lot of soap.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So your peaches tasted like pomelo.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You would used to walk past the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: peach tree and it's just this layer of foaming. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: don't know. So I don't know if that was actually useful.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: 011-8838-947. Somebody does this. They think that they're saving money
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: or they're saving electricity or they're saving water. And you're
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: just like. How much are you saving exactly?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Are you making a difference?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: What are the margins here? Are you putting away 10
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: rand a month? Grandmothers like to do this a lot.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I do think that if you're under 40, you have
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: to draw the line at the Giza thing, which I'm
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: also still not fully on board with. Anything beyond switching
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: off the Giza during the day, I will not tolerate.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You save a lot of electricity like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Are you sure?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I don't switch off the Giza, guys, ever. Guys, are
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you sure?
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: A lot, guys.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: A lot of electricity.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: That Giza charles 2,000 and something watts and it's just
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: sitting there just charring, charring, charring. I get that it
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: gets to.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: A point that it stops. It doesn't char no more.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: It just keeps it warm.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: But if your child comes and then opens the tap,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: et cetera, lets a cup of bitter hot water run,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: then more cold water goes in. Now it's got to
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: heat up again.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But the mental health issues you'll pick up when you
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: get in the shower in the middle of the day
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and the geese is off and it's cold.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, angry.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Take all my money.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I'll pay. I'll pay, guys.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I just don't ever want to get into a shower
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and the water's cold. That is how assassins are made.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That's the day they turned. That's the villain origin story.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to kill people. 011-8838-947. What are you doing?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And you're doing this thing religiously purely because you believe
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: it saves money.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Are you like Matt's grandmother who's boiling all of her
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: eggs because she's got extra hot water?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Are you like.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Tim Beguina's grandmother who believes that when the radio is loud,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you're chowing more electricity?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Right. Are you like my grandmother who was like, uh-uh,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: don't put hot food in the fridge because now you're
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: burning more electricity so that this fridge can gear up
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to cool down this food.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Send us a voice note, 084-00-00-947. Nelly in the club,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm even scared to send the story with the shenanigans
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you've had with boiled eggs this week, but it reminded
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: me of a story.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I went to visit my gran. I cracked open an
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: egg and it was already pre-boiled. Turns out whenever she's
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: got hot water, whether she's making pasta or tea or
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: whatever it is, She will boil eggs so that she
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: doesn't waste the heat of the water, in her words.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: But then she just mixes it back in with the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: other eggs, so you never know what's hard-boiled. Even she
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: doesn't know which is hard-boiled. She'll sometimes re-boil it just
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to be safe.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: For me, it's the AC in the car, the air conditioner.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: People think it tells a lot of petrol. and it
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: uses about 3% of something of your fuel. So people
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: rather feel hot in the car and open windows, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: that actually causes more drag.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: My mother-in-law likes keeping food in the freezer. Cookies she
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: would bake and then save it for later. I don't
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: know why.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I have a timer on my geyser, so there's nobody
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: really at home during the day, so the geyser's off.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: My grandmother used to remove the stereo face.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Out of her Tata Indica, so the car, because she
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: believed that it powered her car battery.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, when you still had the radio that could take the,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you could take the face off the radio.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: She used to take it out because she thought that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it was using the battery when it was on.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Leave that queen alone.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Ayanda, you're Northcliffe.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: What's happening in your house where people think they're saving money,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: but they're not?
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Good morning, guys.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Ayanda.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: What's happening in my house is putting your car in
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: neutral and going downhill thinking you're saving petrol.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Aren't you? No, you're not. You're actually using more petrol,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and it's quite dangerous. How do you know that? I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: did my research. I grew up with my grandfather. He
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: taught me how to drive, and he was just like,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: whenever we would go down to him, he was like, yeah, put.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: The car in the parking, but only at the door.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Because I suppose when it kind of starts up again,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you put it back into gear, it takes quite a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: big sip of the petrol to carry on going. Am
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I making things up?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Am I correct? No. You're not making things up.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: You're correct.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And your car actually uses less fuel by.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Staying in gear.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And also, it's dangerous because you lose engine braking.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was going to say. If you're
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: going downhill and it's in gear, the gears are the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: ones that are slowing the car down.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of restraining it because it knows what it's doing.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: It's neutral.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It's just, whee! Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, it's quite dangerous and people should stop doing that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you, guys. Ayanda from North Cliff has spoken. Stop
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: doing that. Marsha in Funderbale Park. Hi.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Morning, guys.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Morning, Marsha. What did your mother do to save money?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: We used to fight so much with her because now
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: got into those arguments that it's a warm.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Food in the microwave.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: The microwave needs to get back to zero, zero. So
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: if it was like in a second or.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Two seconds, oh, she would fight me.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So I was like, no, but this is using electricity
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: while it's standing there doing nothing.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: No, mom.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So you had to, if you said reheat 30 seconds,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you've got to wait 30 seconds. You can't do like
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: 25 and take it out.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's 30 seconds or I research it back. Otherwise,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: she will be mad.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Because what is it wasting? Electricity.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: That's a That's a very good question.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: That is wasting.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? What are we doing? Because
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: when you say 30 and you say start, it's already
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: pulled 30 worth of electricity.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So if you don't use it. I see. I see.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So it pulls and then it banks.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It's got a battery.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: If you leave it with three seconds to go, that's
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: three seconds worth of electricity that you're wasting.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And waste not.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Want not.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Goodbye now.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Back to making your morning.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Back.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And Nelly and the club.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I love this show.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: On 947.
