While with us, we alerted Derek to a particular music video, recently launched from RufioYOLO and Jack Parow, called Groeipyne which features both Derek Watts and long time former co-anchor Ruda Landman in carboard-cut out form.

Naturally, we asked Derek to give Parow a call and have a little bit of 'Investigative Journalism' fun!
