They’re a generous lot, Mr Daniel’s henchmen, and over the next few weeks they’ll be running a competition where you can win a brand new, customised 2011 Ford Mustang GT500 Shelby. We’ll break that down in just a moment. The good news is, I’ve just driven the thing. And it is marvelous.
Sinatra. Ol’ Blue Eyes. The Chairman of the Board. It’s hard to know where to start with Frank Sinatra. There’s the young Frank of the 1940’s, the Oscar winning movie star, The Rat Pack years, with his old pals Sammy Davis, Dean Martin and the boys. Then there’s the manic depression, the equal rights activist […]
One of the funniest men on the planet (proof here), Pablo Francisco cruised into the 2oceansvibe Radio studio last week, and proceeded to impersonate Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Al Pacino (Scarface), Chris Rock, Sylvester Stallone, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael J Fox, Dr. Phil, Tracy Morgan, Bill Cosby, Pauly Shore, Mel Gibson, Dennis Hopper, Gary Busey and Danny […]
I had a dinner party last night at my penthouse at the Cape Royale Hotel, and I must just say that the star of the show (besides the Jack Daniel’s, Corona beer, Boschendal bubbly and La Fee absinthe) was “The World In Vogue” coffee table book I bought for La Muse a while ago. It’s […]
Listen up, the game is WIDE open! Tomorrow afternoon, you and your office could be working. OR! You could be: DRINKING JACK DANIELS AND COCKTAILS EATING CARAMEL POPCORN EATING GOURMET MISS K HOT DOGS Watching True Grit (starring Jeff Bridges) in total, private comfort at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town. ALL for free, and […]
Clear your schedule this Friday afternoon. You, 2oceansVibe Radio and Jack Daniels are going to the movies. Why? Because everyone, at some point in their lives, has bunked work or school by going to the movies. And Jack Friday means you don’t work on Friday afternoons. Listen up. We have FIFTY double movie tickets to […]

Here’s an example of a past winner: This competition is a weekly one, held every Friday. Once […]
We’re pretty tight with Jack Daniel, here at 2oceansvibe. By now you should be fully aware that we have been liberating people on Friday afternoons – kidnapping people from their offices and generally enforcing Jack Daniel’s (and our) belief that people should not be working on Friday afternoons. But we’re not the only ones doing […]
We are very pleased to see people catching on to the notion of work-free Fridays, and today’s entries have been no exception. Interestingly, this week ladies are taking the lead in embracing the art of Friday relaxation. A noteworthy mention goes to @em_skye, who is heading up the West Coast for the weekend, looking very […]
Hidey-hidey-ho girls and boys! 2oceansVibe radio’s Premier Show on Fridays is broadcasting live from Meloncino at the V&A Waterfront this morning. Why? Well it’s that special day in every month when Jack Daniels and 2oceansVibe conspire to raise awareness around the travesty that is the working Friday. We’re campaigning to have Friday working hours abolished […]
Look guys, you all know by now that Jack Daniels and 2oceansVibe are teaming up to take Friday afternoon work hours down! And by Jove, are we doing well. This coming Friday, July 1, we will be breaking one of you out of work for an afternoon of doing Friday, Jack’s way. Just check out […]
This week’s Jack Friday competition was, despite the cold weather, a fiery contest. The quality of the tweeted entries is taking a sharply upward curve, so much so that this baby claimed the runner’s up place, courtesy of @PharSideUK. (Yes, entries are good enough to actually have a runner up!) Very nice touch with the […]
When we said that we were going to revolutionize the South African work place by lobbying for shorter (read: “nonexistent”) Friday working hours, we weren’t kidding around. Proof? Thanks to the help of our friends at Jack Daniels, and the marvelous Last Word hotel group, we got ourselves a yacht. The Princess Emma, to be […]
The weekly Jack Friday competition, brought to you by 2oceansVibe and Jack Daniels continues to march forward! Every week we’ll be giving away a bottle of Jack to the person who sends in the best picture of themselves living the Jack Friday vibe by skipping work during work hours. This week’s prize goes to a […]
Our weekly Jack Friday competition is beginning to build up a head of steam. And what with the winter weather approaching, it’s only appropriate that this entry, tweeted by @BrettLivesHere should claim the prize. Yes, today blossomed into a gorgeous day, but one really can’t be faulted for breaking out the pinstripe man-pyjamas and skaapie pantoffels. […]
The 2oceansvibe Breakfast team is joined this morning by Cape Town City Mayor, Dan Plato. Tune in to catch the chatter. That’s all done now – if you missed the show, a podcast will be up shortly on 2oceansvibe Radio’s website (new one coming soon ;-)) For now please enjoy this stunning pic of 2oceansvibe […]
Two years ago I sought the counsel of a brainy acquaintance of mine on the subject of my flagging and flaccid career as a broadcaster. In his study was a device that was to be the prop that formed the basis of his argument. Here was a gizmo that allowed this pale and interesting fish to tune into digital radio in far flung territories at the flick of a dial. This, he said, is the future of broadcasting. Go forth, he said, as casually as he might buy some more Japanese stocks.
Charlie Sheen Gets Standing Ovation At Second Show – fter being heckled and booed in Detroit, Charlie Sheen made some changes to his road show Sunday night – and this time, it ended with a standing ovation. Sheen used a talk show-style format at his Chicago show, with a master of ceremonies asking the actor […]
Friends, Jack Daniels and 2oceansvibe are teaming up to take Friday afternoon work hours down! Tomorrow afternoon you could be working – or you could be chilling with four of your friends on Table Mountain with great food, great drink, and great music – in absolute comfort. Best of all, we will take care of […]
How many of you caught the story, posted earlier in the day, about a Cape Town advocate who swore at a Cape Town High Court judge, and stormed out of the court room? Look, in no way do we condone his behaviour. Insulting references to another man’s female relatives, most especially The Mother, should never […]
Yep, that’s right. We’re not screwing around. You don’t perchance recall this little announcement made earlier in the day? Well here’s the first of many benefits to come to you as part of the Jack Friday campaign (formerly known as the 2oceansvibe Campaign For The Abolition Of Friday Afternoon Work Hour Tyranny). Download these sick notes and submit them to your boss on your return to work on Tuesday morning.
While our Facebook photos from the event can give you an idea of the awesomeness of the vibe that day, it can never do it justice. That is why I invented the ‘moving picture’ and, subsequently, this video. Jump in and re-live that day with us. Feel the vibe throughout your body, not just through […]
Imagine that? Well it’s a very real thing, my friends. Goldfish are performing a DANGEROUSLY intimate gig on the roof of the Cape Royale hotel tomorrow (Friday) from 15h30 and all the 2oceansvibe brands are taking care of drinks. That’s right – we’re talking Jack Daniel’s, Corona, Jack Black, BOS iced tea, Boschendal bubby, De […]
This is a novel idea from our ruling party: Move the end of year party to the start of the year, stretch it out over a weekend and end the whole thing with a concentrated celebration bash at the Moses Mabhida stadium. Add class to the event by serving Jack Daniel’s honey-glazed boerewors and subsidising the liquor. Now who said governing shouldn’t be fun?
If you enjoyed part 1 and part 2 (very well received!) of the hilarious 2oceansvibe Whisky Festival with Jack Daniels series, then you’re gonna love this final episode. It features none other than Stormers rugby player, Anton can Zyl. Watch as we find out about the team’s drinking habits, as well as how fond women […]
Ok I’m not kidding you, there is some quality humour here. Jack Daniel would probably turn in his grave if he knew, but I simply had to get into character and experience Jack Daniels in the way that some of his more wild fans have done (think Guns & Roses..). And so we cruised around […]
The more awesome of you out there will be aware of the biggest whisky festival in the world, which took place in Cape Town last week. It’s called the Whisky Live festival and I was there. I also had a hip flask and enough Jack Daniels to keep me busy for quite some time. Three […]
