Good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue and probably even better when you work hard to get what you deserve. Randall Ortel is a doctor from Manenberg who drove taxis to support himself at medical school. Today he works as family medicine specialist at Groote Schuur Hospital and specialises in the occupational health clinic. Smile Breakfast gave him a call.

Bobby's family secret
The team got thinking about family drama and how everyone has a story that could fit into an episode of Days of Our Lives. Bobby happens to have had a moment when a memorial service revealed a relative's secret family.

Your family drama
Listeners shared some of the stories in their family that could be worthy of an episode in a soapie. We heard it all from affairs, funeral fights, and some casual butt grabs to end friendships.

The world's most awkward family dinner
We weren't ready for a caller who told us about some family drama that had to be kept secret for years. What could be more awkward than meeting your new partner's parents and realising you already know each other? How about meeting your boyfriend's dad only to be introduced to your own gynecologist?

According to a survey done in The Knot’s annual Wedding Registry Study the average newlywed couple has about 125 items on their registry. It's probably best to ask guests to stick to the registry, especially considering what some of our listeners got given.

Lindy was perplexed by this wedding gift
It's wedding season and we're about to enter the month of love. Getting married can be quite an expensive affair. Some people opt to politely ask for money instead of gifts at their wedding. This might offset the cost of marriage but it doesn't always work out that way. In Lindy's case someone gave her and her husband Peter a very curious envelope with cash in.

Don't drink and cook
Smile Breakfast had a conversation about kitchen disasters. We heard about various explosions and floods. There was also a particularly fiery incident that we heard about that got a listener kicked out of his rental. Lindy also learned that it's a bad idea to drink and cook.

Your kitchen disasters
Bobby nearly burned down his house by forgetting a sweet potato in the microwave. Smile Breakfast listeners got in touch to tell us about how they had some disasters of their own. So it turns out there are a million ways to make an explosive device in the kitchen.

A sweet potato nearly burned down Bobby's house
Bobby fancies himself quite the wiz in the kitchen and he's always been a good cook. So how is it that the humble sweet potato managed to almost burn down his house?

The technicalities of a home solar panel system
Bobby wanted to unpack some of the more technical details of the city's plans to give money to residents who produce surplus electricity. He spoke to Thomas Garner from the South African Power Producers Association. Thomas explained how the process would work from installation to production to possibly provide some relief for our electricity problems.
