REVEALED: The things men secretly do... and it's hilarious
A few days ago, we posted on Facebook, "Confession Time: What are some things men secretly do?".
The responses came flooding in from both men and women. It seems that more women answered than men.
So it turns out that the secrets are, in fact, not so secret.
The Drive with Rob and Roz decided to call some of those who responded and opened the phone line to the greater Jacaranda FM audience.

LISTEN: "My ex-boyfriend chose his dog over me!"
Being a third wheel is never a nice feeling.
But what happens when you're the third wheel in the relationship and your competition is your partner's pet?
In this week's edition of Monday Mailbag with Rob and Roz, we received the following pet peeve from Chrissy:

LISTEN: Iconic 'Lord of the Rings' scenes if the film wasn't PG-rated
Being the movie buff that he is, Rob Forbes sifted through the regulations for a movie to be classified as "PG."
Okay, not really, he heard it on a podcast. But, we digress.
PG is an acronym for ``Parental Guidance Suggested.''
The key word is "suggested".
The rating indicates that the movie has some content that parents might find inappropriate or disturbing for their kids.

You want to read this if you're planning a trip to the USA
Are you planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the USA for the 2026 FIFA Soccer World Cup?
Or maybe you're just planning a nice little trip abroad? A new twist in the travel tale could come with a potentially hefty price tag.
Starting on August 20, the United States of America is launching a 12-month pilot programme that could require some travellers—yes, possibly South Africans—to fork out a refundable visa bond of up to R275,000.

Meet the world's oldest baby, 31-year-old Thaddeus
Here’s the twist: he was born from an embryo that was frozen more than 30 years ago.
Young Thaddeus started his journey way back in May 1994, back when VHS tapes, Nokia brick phones, and baggy jeans were all the rage.
The embryo was created by a couple undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and was frozen shortly after their first daughter was born.
The other embryos stayed on ice for over three decades.
