In this episode of Storytime, Joshua is joined once again by viral South African voice Estean — and this time, nothing is off limits.
The conversation dives straight into South African party culture — from the chaos of Plett Rage, high school house parties, and First Thursdays, to how the modern-day party scene has evolved.
Joshua and Estean break down the science (and strategy) behind drinking — debating alcohol percentages, the best beers for different times of day, and the unspoken rules of a proper South African jol.
They then shift into rugby, unpacking the dominance of the South Africa national rugby union team, the road to the next Rugby World Cup, and what it means to pursue passion at the highest level.
