I want the Springboks to win, but this is New Zealand we're playing here. And also, though, I like the position we're in. Our backs are against the wall. So, when South Africa's backs are against the wall, we tend to do superb. So, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. I would love to hear from you. We're talking about also spring. Lisa says, Ebs, what do you mean spring only starts on the 21st of September? There is no spring. We have fast-forwarded.
We're fast forwarded to summer 31 next week. And there's no autumn, no spring, just summer or winter and extremes with El Nino. Lisa, you know, I was showing I listening to now again where they were talking to an expert around this. Ah, yes, it was KFM Mornings. Darren Simpson and the team that was heading to you. I don't know if you remember that guy that did the weather, Van Dam. We used to be popular, somewhere.
Somehow in South Africa. So they had a conversation around this El Nino. And then, as if it was meant to be, then there was a conversation on Cape Talk around, I think it was on Eyewitness News around how the water levels are dropping on our damn levels. So now I'm thinking to myself: hmm, no rain in winter, and winter wasn't really cold. And Lisa now is saying, hmm, technically, we don't have spring now. We're going straight to summer. The question is: will summer give us.
Whatever it is, spring, summer, will it give us rains? And if it doesn't, dare I say it again: day zero. Woo! Okay, we're not coming here to stress. We're coming here to talk, we're coming here to play music. So let's do what we do best. It's just the hits on 567 on the M frequency. Don't forget, have your say also on 072-567-1567. John Matham and Cape Talk.
