5 Weekend Early Mornings on 5FM

Americans are taking the LSAT for fun online, which got us thinking: could adult us survive the tests students write to get into university?

This week on The Unscientific Method, Tom quizzes Mtha with sample NBT-style questions covering academic literacy, quantitative literacy, and maths, all with no calculator, no dictionary, and a bruised ego on standby.

Will Mtha prove he still has what it takes to get into uni, or is it time to apologise to every matric student ever?

Some people are always early. Others treat deadlines like polite suggestions. This week on The Unscientific Method, Tom and Mtha test the science of the brain’s internal clock to find out whether punctual people are actually better at feeling time pass.

The challenge is simple: shout “STOP” when they think 30 seconds has passed. The twist? They each have to complete distracting tasks while the clock is ticking. Will Tom’s legendary punctuality hold up under pressure, or will Mtha prove that time is just a vibe?

Pali, our news expert, sees if she can decode fact or fiction news stories... her performance has been terrible up until today!

We all have that phrase we use too often... 5 Nation has some thoughts!

We asked a graphic designer to make an image to help Tom breka up with his "wife" - he didn't like the suggestion!

A massive study tested more than 100,000 people against the latest generative AI systems on creativity tasks, and the results were a little uncomfortable: AI now beats the average human on certain creativity tests.

So... what’s one thing you’ll always do better than a robot?

During the World Cup qualifying play-off against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Bosnian goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj got into a heated argument. The dispute sparked during the penalty shootout when Donnarumma attempted to snatch and destroy Vasilj's "cheat sheet" containing notes on Italian penalty takers. 

We'd like to see if we can buy some interesting fruits from a strip club...

Our poor members of Mzanzi were violently unimpressed... 

Mtha and Tom laugh a lot, mostly at (not with) each other. How long can they sustain this?
