This is the one week of the year when everyone down at Triple R throws their dignity aside and develops the attitude of the window washer on the corner of Nicholson Street and Alexandra Parade. Except instead of squeegees, our instrument is the music, man.
Or in the case of the Breakfasters, music peppered with stories, like the one about my early dabblings with orthodontics.

It is Radiothon time, we're asking for cash, and for those who missed some of the highlights of the last 12 months, who could forget segments such as:
Shit siblings
Distant celebrity relatives
Movies with the most fake facial hair
People with three or more names
Pets with human names (Heeeeere Paul, come here boy)
Famous teeth gaps
Favourite movie poster blurbs
The theme is Kick it to RRRs, and to celebrate it, we have a genuine WEG poster and a Triple R club song. I am credited as the co-writer of the song, although if the truth be known in the collaborative hotbed that was the Von Goes /Wilson salon, not a single word I threw into the mix actually stuck. But I did provide the biscuits, so will happily take the co-credit.

Of course naturally there will then be the waiting period - as Sam, Fee and myself slowly and methodically track you down ... no, no, no. Money's money, and without government support or product ads (let's forget about me singing the 'Tab adds life' jingle this morning), we need yours.
