What basic everyday task do you not do and why?
Have you ever serenaded someone in public?
Kristen and Nige were chatting daily tasks they should do but don't (and potentially not very well). There are a few things the guys avoid (or try to) and it seems that Canberrans are the same. Mark from Mawson calls in and Nige couldn't agree more with the task that he truly avoids.
This is the last thing you get to vote on Canberra! The song! Alex and Val's wedding is nearly planned and there are two choices - John Legend's 'All Of You' and Ed Sheeran's 'Perfect'. Cam and Kristen chat to Ryan David who will be performing the song on the day (and they even get a preview to help you choose).
Kristen is about to be a mum (again) and she has started to develop some weird cravings. Cam is even concerned because some of them don't sound too good. She isn't alone as other Canberra mum's share their cravings and some of them... well we have to say are even crazier than Kristen's.
What a journey. Nige is still off so Cam and Kristen were on air chatting about the time when a stranger saved your life. The guys opened up the phone lines and Trish from Monash called through. Cam and Kristen were very touched by her story and couldn't believe how common this could be for so many people.
Cam and Kristen found out that Val and Alex spent some time apart while they were seeing each other. The guys wanted to see how other Canberrans kept their relationship going when they were in a long distance relationship.
Oh no. That is the feeling when you've heard something that you probably shouldn't have. Pete from Monash called in and shared a story that wasn't a pocketdial but something way worse.

Meet Alex and Val - Our winning couple for The Wedding Canberra Built!!
This couple will have been together for 10 years this August. Deonne is a fanatical Raiders fan and Ben works in the Defence Force. They have two songs, Logan (3 years old), Nate (1 year old) and a Great Dane called Artie (who is the biggest sook you will ever meet). Their two sons are very different in personality. Logan is a big Star Wars and Transformers fan while Nate can only be described as an ‘old soul’ as he has a very chill demeanor. Deonne and Ben have never spent a full year together due to Defence Force obligations. The couple has lived in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne then back to Canberra. Last Christmas Deonne proposed to Ben on Christmas Day. It was right after an argument where a ring was given to him as a present, but Ben insisted that Deonne ‘do it right’ and get down on one knee and he said yes! The funny this is that the ring was the wrong size. Why should Kristen and Nige pick Deonne and Ben? They can be described as ‘old school’ and believe in love, commitment and spending the rest of their life together. Also, weddings cost an absolute arm and a leg and they both believe this is the closest thing to having an amazing wedding (or they’ll probably just wait another 10 years).

Meet our 2nd couple: Alex and Val! - The Wedding Canberra built
What is love?? Kid explains to his teacher
hese two lovers have been together for 4 years. They own a Kelpie puppy called Cielo (which is actually ‘sky’ in Spanish) due to her fur reminding the couple of the night sky. She also loves tennis balls and won’t stop wagging her tail when she sees one. You’ll find this couple at Blockhaus climbing with friends. Right before the pandemic Alexander surprised Valentina with a proposal for marriage. Soon after they began to plan their wedding but Valentina became sick and was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Valentina was immediately hospitalised as without treatment she would only have a few weeks to live. Valentina underwent treatment and was given a 50% chance to live. During her treatments Alexander was there every step of the way. They spent their next anniversary, Valentine’s day and my birthday in hospital. Alexander made Valentina laugh every day and was a pillar of strength during this difficult time. Valentina survived and they are now looking at finally getting married. Could they be the couple that gets married?

Meet our 1st wedding couple.. Dan & Cass
When have you had to tell someone to put their phone down?
Today is the day where Kristen and Nige reveal the first couple: Cassandra and Daniel. These two lovebirds have been together for 14 years. Their family is made up of two (allegedly) grown up kids and a dog named Taco and have been living together in Canberra for 12 years (and love it). The one thing this couple is known for is their love for the Canberra Raiders. This couple has tried to get married before and planned to do a surprised wedding in 2020 but due to COVID it never went ahead. It has been hard to reschedule due to a family member struggling with a very serious mental illness. Why are they hoping to win? Their friends and family harass them non-stop and without the help of Canberra, they will probably never get down the aisle.

Kristen and Nige are giving one lucky couple the chance to have their wedding paid for by Mix106.3 and Weddings of Canberra. But the catch is Canberra will be planning their wedding.

Then Cam was beaten when Bingo from Scullin called in and really made the guys question if they have travelled far enough.

Kristen and Nige find out from Canberra's parents the silliest reasons why their kids have had a meltdown. Some of them are so FUNNY.

Gents, where were you when your baby was born?
Hugo has been going to daycare for a little while now and he has begun to make friends. Kristen knows the parents of Hugo's best friend at daycare as they were in her mummy group. When Kristen arrived this week the lovely staff alerted her of another incident with Hugo, but this time it looks like Hugo may have done something where we can NEVER play a certain song on the radio. Nige could not stop laughing when he found out!

It has worked out well for some (hello Janet Jackson) and well maybe not so good for others (the list is too long). Michelle from Dunlop called in and told us about the time where she worked with her mum. This goes to show that sometimes maybe it isn't the best idea (but can we blame her?)
Over the weekend Ken was minding his business. Ken was approached by an individual currently involved in the protests against vaccine mandates.

It's back to school week for a lot of kiddies. This is an exciting time as many will get to see their friends again. It is also an exciting time for teachers too! Nige found a story about a teacher in Florida who organised a snowman to be sent to her school because many of her pupils had not seen snow before. That is above an beyond. Kristen and Nige wanted to know if this type of thing was happening locally too. Victoria calls in and shares a wonderful story about a teacher who went above and beyond for her students.

A new report has been released on the 'Liveability by Place Score' and it really compares the north and south of Canberra. The report concluded that those who live in the north are much happier than those who are living in the south. Kristen completely disagrees, but Nige on the other hand is in favour of the findings. There are a few things they take in to account when they put this report and we are not sure we agree with all of them.

Kristen had no idea what this meant? Even if you are old we are nice to you? What?! Who thought this was a good idea to put this on a number plate. Is this what we want Canberra to be known as. We hear from local Canberrans on what they think of this tagline.

One of Nige's favourite snacks is little meat pies. Billy wanted to know what sauce Nige used.... to which he said 'TOMATO!'. Billy said what about BBQ? Nige was in shock. It is definitely a rule (not one that Nige made up but one that he is believes is real) that BBQ sauce does not belong on a pie or even a sausage roll.

When Nige was younger, he met his uncle Ian and thought he was the coolest man in the world. Ian was a Melbourne Demons supporter and Nige watched a few games with him after not really being a fan of AFL. This is how Nige became a support of the Demons. After asking around, Kristen found that there is normally a story linked with why people support their team. The team wanted to know other stories to why people support their specific team.

A little while ago Nige lost his voice (it wasn't COVID-19) and given what he does for work, it is a little inconvenient. This got Kristen and Nige thinking, was there a time when you were sick that was especially inconvenient? Catherine in Bonner tells us a story when she was unwell on the day she had a job interview. What happened next was pretty exciting!
We've all received a present that we would have rather not have. Then you have that awkward moment when you have to be surprised. How uncomfortable. Kristen and Nige we discussing bad gifts. We can tell you they've been guilty but there is one gift that caught their eye. Would you give this?
When you are younger, there are things you believe that as you grow older might not be true. Nige as a young child used to think that the laughter sound he would hear on TV shows was actually people laughing in their houses while watching the show. Scott out in Gordon told Kristen and Nige about a specific belief she had that sounds legit.
Kristen and Nige are asking - do you have a good OR bad luck charm. The phone lines are opened and Brett from Queanbeyan tells us about a specific item that most people own and it sounds like it wasn't a lucky charm.

Now imagine what it would be like living with someone who could do all of these things for you!? Imagine living with a hairdresser? Masseuse? Nail Technician! Uh how much better would life be! There are some lucky Canberrans who live with these amazing people (who we think) change lives. Kristen and Nige find out what this is like.

Maimite lives with trauma as a result of experiencing domestic violence. She has volunteered in a few different roles and credits volunteering with helping her reconnect with community. She is a strong advocate for inclusion and diversity, she is now working in the disability sector, is running for local council, and she is a Mum to three beautiful children. She is one of the most positive empowering women we have ever connected with.
Kristen is celebrating Ian's birthday and she has looked at putting Hugo's face on something. This time she wanted to put his face on socks so Ian could wear them. This looks like it is a big of a trend and other Canberrans are putting their kids faces on a range of items. There is one item we cannot believe you can get printed!!

How does he know the difference between Canberran poop and NSW poop!? Nige has come up with ways in which you can actually tell if the poo is from Canberra...
Kristen and Nige were having a little laugh about people who have gone up to someone who they thought they knew (but didn't) and then finding out that they are actually a stranger and they don't know them. We asked Canberra to share their local stories because this has happened to everyone. Some of them are hilarious.

Kristen and Nige was discussing everything that Ken Behrens do! If you've lived in Canberra for a long time (say 5 years or more) there are a few things Kristen and Nige think you would have done. Things like paddle boating on the Lake Burley Griffin (well Kristen hasn't done this one - and Nige is shocked as to why!) Kylie from Bungendore calls in and there is ONE place she has never been.

Some have struggled to put food on the table, given their circumstance. But fear not, as Gary Molhotra has been helping so many. Since the lockdown began, Gary Molhotra and amazing team has been cooking and delivering over 2000 meals a day to needy Canberrans. We are speechless.

Kellie is the inspiration behind the Ordinary Hero campaign, looking for all the many hard-working front-line Canberrans. Those who day in and day out put the health and safety and of the community before themselves. Take a listen to the chat Kristen and Nige had with Kellie below.

If you are not aware, around Northbourne they have changed the speed limit down to 40km/h in certain areas. Well Kristen received a little bit of mail and it wasn't good news. It was a speeding fine! Then, there was another one. AND another one. What was weird, is that one was address to her husband Ian. This was a bit of a shock and he doesn't really remember the camera going off. This is only the beginning of the story.

Nige’s new "winter" lifehack!
Nige woke up to sad news this morning when he found out about the passing of Dieter Brummer. After speaking to a number of people about this unfortunate news, they mentioned that he was one of the favourite stars and they would put posters up of him around their room. Kristen and Nige wanted to turn this news into a bit of a positive and ask Canberra, what posters of people did you have on your wall? This was giving us flashbacks!
It isn't very often you get a very good burn, let alone even by your parents. Well that is what happened to Billy! He was out with his mum buying her some cooking equipment and when speaking to a shop assistant, she really gave him the best BURN! Billy isn't alone. There were plenty of other Canberrans who have felt the burn.

Canberra’s laziest person
Nige is talking lazy people and Kristen is into it. This came about after Nige heard a story of a girl who was asked to clean her room but instead just put a video on of a vaccum cleaner and napped instead. Very funny! We definitely found the laziest person in Canberra and it is Louise from Chapman's son. It is hilarious.

Canberra’s Most Aussie Couple Names!
Kristen and Nige found out that Kylie Minogue parents are called Ron and Carol. The guys are completely obsessed with this fact and want to find Canberra's most 'Aussie' sounding couple names. We love some of our callers couples names and we actually think they are better than Ron and Carol.
Have you had an event postponed? Right now this seems like a normal thing right now. Kristen and Nige speak with Laura about her wedding that has been postponed a bunch of times - how AWFUL! We also catch up with other Canberrans about events they were supposed to attend but NO and one of them have been postponed more times than we can count.
What have you seen split all over the road??

Is Kristen okay!? We are currently asking this question. Hugo has gone to daycare for the first time and Kristen had a little bit of time to herself. This is a rare occurrence. So Kristen say down and opened up her phone and stumbled on an app that turns you into a lemon. Kristen posted the video and a lot of people thought it was just a little bit odd.... Is she okay!?
Thanking some wonderful Canberrans!

Unusual baby names of Canberra??
Kristen and Nige were discussing whether you have received a text or email that clearly wasn't meant for you. You feel very embarrassed if you are the one sending the email or if you are the one receiving it, well it depends on what is in it! We've all done it at least once and Jim tells us about the time he received an email that he shouldn't have! It happened at work and we know someone would definitely get fired for sending it.

Some things happen in this world that cannot be explain, or believed but they are actually real. We can think of so many times we have been speaking with our friends and family about something that happened, but it sounds so out of this world that we've never been believed. Karen from Wamboin called up and we want to put this to the test. Karen tells us a story about a party she attended at Lachlan Murdoch's house and we know it is real - but cannot believe what happened.

For the past week, masks have been mandatory in Canberra. Since we've all begun wearing them more than we have ever during the pandemic, it's aired some odd or funny problems that come with wearing a mask during your daily tasks.
Kristen shared that it's made her hyper-aware of how her breath smells, and Nige caught his reflection the other day and was stunned by what he saw.
The guys took some calls to see what else people have been discovering while wearing masks over the past week.

Will we be seeing an influx of tourism and potentially some celebrities if these changes were made??
Kristen's son, Hugo, has his first birthday coming up soon. Both Kristen and Nige can't believe it. So it is time for Nige to get a present. Nige could be in trouble with this one. He saw something online and the only reason he purchased it was to annoy Kristen. Well this is actually common practice with Canberra telling us their stories about the gift they were given for their children that annoyed the hell out of them!

It is the fabled 'Bro Code' and for those of the opposite sex, you may have never heard of it. Well Nige mentioned it yesterday and it exists. Kristen wanted to know what it is made up of so we asked the 'Bro's' of Canberra to find out.
Nige feels like he has been stabbed! Nige hurt himself when he tried to reach over to turn a light on. We wanted Nige to feel better so we asked Canberra to tell us about their silly injuries.

Kristen and Nige share what 'guilty pleasure' songs they love!
Strange bucket list items!
What did you tell your friends that you are not going to watch?
Did someone you know date someone famous?
Did you find out about ‘the other partner’ because they told you?
This is a doozy. Kristen and Nige heard about a story where a girl's boyfriend was cheating on her. How she found out was the real kicker! The woman her boyfriend was cheating on with reached out to let her know what was happening. The woman was very angry and even had a trip planned with the boyfriend, so instead of taking him she took the mistress and they became friends. Well we asked Canberra if they had found out about a cheating partner in a strange way. There was this one anonymous caller...
Kristen is fascinated with people dating someone who is famous. Yesterday, Nige told Kristen a story about one of our colleagues dating Daryl Braithwaite! Kristen tell us about the time a guy named Daniel who she used to go to school with, but he was known as Saxon - yep the one who went on Big Brother. Saxon actually dated Gretel, who was the host of Big Brother. So we wanted to know, did anyone else know someone who dated a famous celeb?

Something very funny happened to Producer Billy over the weekend. Now, don't get us wrong, Billy is young(ish) but not THIS young to be I.D'd. Billy went and purchased some alcohol from a local store and they actually asked for his I.D, even though he is will over 25. We may need to head in and get I.D'd too so we can feel a little better about the aging process. This got Kristen and Nige thinking, what is the oldest you have been to be asked for I.D?

There was a rule with the desert, that if you finish it you get it for free! Since then, Nige has never been the same.

What are some "good ideas" after a few drinks?
Suburb Song - Braddon
You've been hanging with your friends with a few drinks and you get chatted about a range of different topics. You then keep going AND keep drinking and you've come up with the best ideas since sliced bread. Just like Kristen and Nige, this always happens after a few drinks. Nige shares a story from last week about when he was he was at home. Now there are two people that live at home with him, Nige and drunk Nige (who sometimes has the best ideas, but isn't as reliable!). You'll never guess what he did.

Customer's are always right. At least that is what we are told! Well they aren't right always, especially when they are very rude. Kristen and Nige wanted to hear your stories of 'above board' revenge on customers. Not something very off like spitting in a drink, but stories where you are being yelled at a cafe and instead of making a coffee with caffeine you give them decaf. You know, the small wins. Kelly from Bungendore decided to call up as she used to work for the NSW Motor Registry and she has an absolute winner!

They guys wanted to bring the focus to Canberra and asked 'What weird job do you have?'. We had a few callers but Kelly from Isabella Plains told us about her job and we may be switching careers.

Where do you turn to? These days it's up to your FBI skills on social media to find the 'one'. We asked local Canberrans if they have ever reconnected with someone over social media. Whether it was an old friend, ex-lover or someone new! It is surprising to hear the success rate.

Kristen was at a dinner and a family friend ask a 'What would you do in this scenario?' type of question. The story goes... your a doctor and you've been seeing a patient for a long period of time. The patient has a cough and you do some tests, which resulted in a serious lung cancer diagnosis that is incurable. The patient is about to go on holiday with family and friends. So do you tell her before she goes away or do you tell her at that time?

The heard a story about a girl who broke up with her boyfriend and travelled thousands of miles to cut off the lock she had with her boyfriend on a bridge because they broke up. To be honest, we'd do the same. Now Nige tells us about a time where some massively petty happened and he got caught in the crossfires AND it nearly made him homeless.

Now it was Nige's job to bring it to work and give it to Billy as a big hooray! Well, the bottle never really got to him and you'll never guess what happened to Nige.

Do you know someone that has to go to every store or do TOO much research on an item before buying?
Have you ever met someone OR dated someone with the same name?
Nige can be forgetful but when he heard Meghan Markle had written her own Children's book it reminded him of the one he wrote ages ago. The only problem was that he lost it... Thank god for the power of 'search' on your computer as he was able to find the document. Have a listen as Nige reads out the book titled 'Daddy Dreams Because You Cry' to Kristen (and you as well!)

Have you named your child after the midwife
SLEEPAPOOLOZA - Snore Olympics !!!!!
Kristen and Nige are talking about sounds that you absolutely can never in a million hear again. Nige's is the song 'Push It' by Salt N Pepa. It makes him lose his mind. Kristen on the other hand can't listen to the jingle Hugo's toy makes. When we opened up the lines to hear what local Canberrans cannot hear any more, we had ONE that all parents can agree on and ONE that allowed Nige to cause a little bit of trouble.
SLEEPAPOOLOZA - Are you a shift worker?? How do you get sleep?
Are you named after a film/TV character??
What is the “sexiest” gift you have ever received?
SLEEPAPOOLOZA - What do you listen to to get to sleep?
Around anniversary time you are looking for that perfect gift. Is it heartfelt? Or do you go a little bit more risque? A little sexy? There is always a fine line. Nige once gifted a shovel as a gift to his significant other, so he definitely got the SEXY memo. Kristen on the other hand just recently gave two cotton business shirts, so again right on the sexy button. (If you can't tell, these definitely aren't sexy). We ask Canberra about their sexy gifts and one in particular had us in stitches!!!

Was Kristen being watched when she went to have a massage?
Kristen loves massages. Kate and Nige, not so much! Kristen is currently trying out new places and something a little strange happened one of the places she visited. Now before we get into the story, we wonder if this is just common practice. As normal, Kristen was undressing alone in her suite she began to take off her rings and thought she'd probably lose them so decided to keep them on. Now fast forward to when the Masseuse came in and asked 'Do you need a bowl to put your jewellery in?'. OHHH wait, how did she know that she was taking her rings off!? Especially when she was alone. Kate and Nige think it could be something that is quite normal.
Is Nige normal? This is a question we ask everyday here at the station. If you don't know, Nige lives alone, which means he has developed quite a number of quirks. One of them begins when he leaves for work every morning he backs out of the driveway, close the garage and drive off down the street. Now Nige has begun to think, has he closed the garage? Can Harry the Cat get out? When he closes the garage now he says it out loud to tick off in his head that it is ACTUALLY closed. Is this a strange quirk? Well he isn't alone...

Supermoon.. Does a full moon make people crazy???? Dr. James Bain from Canberra Hospital says yes!
Sleepapooloza - Natalie needs a nap as her husband sleep talks and kills zombies
Kristen and Nige address an age old theory, does a full moon REALLY affect us? To work this out, they call Dr. James who used to work in the emergency department at the hospital to see if it gets busier around a full moon. Is it just silly stuff like broken arms? Or is it more wild things that people come in with? To get confirmation the guys open the phone lines and you'll have to see whether it is TRUE.
Nige is frustrated by a saying young people in the office here are using far to much???

As you get a little older you notice younger generations begin to say phrases or things that either don't make sense or are a little strange. We can think back to a time when our parents would give us a confused look as we used some of these terms like 'FYI'. Well Nige has heard one of these new terms around the office and last Friday he received an email with this specific word in it. Nige isn't a fan and actually thinks this word should never be said. EVER!

Nige loves a lot of things but he is VERY unsure about microwaveable slippers that have just been released. Kate is on board, but Nige is not! Nige thinks that there is something that has been completely missed when creating these slippers, namely what happens when you wear slippers for a long time. The smell AND can you imagine how bad it will be when you put the slippers in a microwave?! Wes from Scullin has a cautionary tale to share with Canberra. This makes us think Nige isn't wrong (for once).

We've all been there before. When we were younger we could run 5km, do the splits and do a cartwheel. It was easy so why not try it again? Bad idea. Kate was playing with her kids on the weekend and they were showing off their cartwheels. Kate used to be great at doing them when she was younger. Let us tell you that it didn't go that well that made Kristen and Nige giggle.

We asked Canberra what their secret is to a lasting relationship and we learnt so much.

Mooseheads...what a place. Nothing like it exists anywhere else. It is a place to dance, a place to have fun AND a place to stay until the early hours of the morning. But is it a place to find love?

Loaf of bread was 24c, litre of milk was 30c, newspaper was 12c and a litre of petrol for 57c! But the most fascinating price was how much housing was worth back then.

They speak to Bruce Armstrong, the man who won a competition and erected the owl we see today. What a legend.

Kristen and Nige discuss the things they have fallen out of love with. Kristen in particular has fallen out of love with cooking after spending all of her time with lovely Hugo. We asked Canberra and Mel from Gungahlin told us a touching story about something that she used to love to do. This was during a particular time when Mel wasn't at her happiest but as her life improved, she hasn't had an interest to do that specific thing again.
Visit Canberra have recently launched a new campaign to bring everyone across Australia to see the 'real' Canberra.

Nige is showing off a new look and it seems it may be a hit with a few of the ladies. Kristen shared a few pics yesterday and there were a number of others posted on the Mix Facebook and Instagram page. A few people have taken it upon themselves to share their real thoughts and feelings of Nige's new look. Let me tell you, some of them are a little spicy! What is interesting is that Kristen even had a few people share their numbers directly with her to pass on. How many people do you think sent their number in to her? Well you are going to have to listen to find out.

For so long Nige has been talking about this undulation along Melbourne Avenue. He's been talking about it in the office, in meetings and in person to a lot of people. Yesterday, it came up again and everyone in the meeting did not believe him that it is still there. Well it turns out that it has been flattened. This had us questioning, was it ever there at all? Or has Nige lost the plot?

It hasn't but Tamara has been receiving text messages 'from the ATO' as well as missed calls from a private number saying they have found a security issue and have asked her to phone a specific number. AND there's more... Kristen doesn't think it is a scam but Nige thinks this is 100% a scam. What do you think?

Kate joins Kristen and Nige on air as they each give their very honest thoughts on the recent tell all with Harry and Meghan about the royal family. There were a few surprising moments including one where Meghan admits that she didn't search for information about Harry or what it means to be a royal before she entered the relationship. Kristen and Kate are SUPER involved and found it all very interesting. Nige on the other hand... is he getting as invested as Kristen and Kate? The answer may surprise you.

As many of our listeners already know, Nige will be shaving his head on the 15th of March as part of the Shave for the Brave campaign that is helping raise money for the DVCS. Because of this, Nige is concerned people won’t recognise him anymore! We reached out to the people of Canberra this morning to ask “what happened when you shaved your head?” Sandra from Dunlop called through to tell us about the time her husband shaved his head, including the beard, and their daughter didn’t respond very well.
Kristen and Nige spoke to Sonia from Casey about the topic of secret siblings. Her parents got divorced and when she was 28 years old he dad got a call, from his daughter in New Zealand. It turns out NO-ONE knew that she existed except the dad! You have to listen to get the full story.
1) Secret siblings 2) The 3/3 rule for relationships 3) DVCS Shave for the brave 4) Kristen’s first date night in years!
With Tamara being only a few weeks away from going on maternity leave, Nige wanted to discuss the topic o f colleagues going into labour at work this morning.

Kristen and Nige both agree that they would struggle to be in a long term relationship. Especially if you haven't seen them for at least two years! Nige tells us about a time when he was in a long distance 'relationship' when he was 8 years old. Kristen opens up the line to hear from local Canberrans to see how they've made it work.
1) What did you find when you were digging in the back yard? Sasha from Ainslie told us what her dad found! 2) Nige’s Mail Bag 3) How long have you been going to the same hairdresser? 4) When did you make a bet with your kids and you had to follow through with buying what you promised them?

Kristen and Nige are overwhelmed at the support they have have received for DVCS Shave for the Brave. Given they have already reached their goal, it is time to up the stakes. Both of them racked their brains for who else could join Nige. Would it be Kristen? Nige's beard? Jarrod Croker? Then it clicked AND you will not believe who will be joining Nige.
1) Did someone tell you a loved one died and they didn’t? 2) Mullet banned at school... WHAT! 3) What's the most elaborate way to get out of work? 4) Who else do we need a package for?
The Sydney Morning Herald accidentally published Prince Phillip in their obituary section yesterday morning and it got the guys wondering, has something like this happened to other people? This morning on the show, Kristen & Nige opened the phones to ask the people of Canberra if they have ever been told a loved one died when in reality the person was still alive and kicking. To our surprise, we actually got some calls!
Nige found himself in a bit of a situation yesterday, after he tried to order a taxi and none came. As a result, for the first time ever, Nige ordered himself an Uber! This turned into quite the rollercoaster for Nige, going from what he hoped would be a simple taxi ride, to a case of assumed identity theft, before finally resolving itself in an interesting Uber ride. Of course, being a new experience it was pretty exciting for him, and naturally he had a lot of questions for his driver about the experience!

Which celebrity did you not recognise?
We've all had it happen to us. You run into someone who knows you but you cannot (for the life of you) remember who they are. Well, don't feel too bad because we bet you haven't forgotten what our Prime Minister looks like. There is always a first and Jane takes the cake.
This morning on the show Kristen & Nige announced the launch of the DVCS Shave for the Brave, a campaign that hopes to raise much needed funds to help the Domestic Violence Crisis Service. The DVCS is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to help build lives free from domestic violence, however over the course of the Covid-19 outbreak, the need for their services has skyrocketed, while their opportunities to fundraise have dried up. That's why Kristen & Nige have joined forces with ABC Host and DVCS Champion Adam Shirley, DVCS board members, ACT policing, ICON Water and a host of LEGENDS to help raise money by shaving their heads! If Kristen & Nige can raise $10,000 Nige will be getting his head shaved!

Every town has some funny street names. Well Canberra is no different! Kirsten and Nige were chatting about cool street names in Canberra and how each suburb has a theme with the names. It got them thinking, what is the coolest street name in Canberra? The guys were completely shocked at some of the names that came through from callers.
1) Nige gets deep in conversation with a stranger - have you? 2) Where did the Nutbush dance come from? 3) Facebook News 4) Lunchboxes back in the day
Could you imagine a world in which Nutbush City Limits came on and you didn't get an urge to dance? As Aussies, we all know and love the hit song Nutbush City Limits by Ike & Tina Turner, so much so that there is even a specific dance that many of us have learned at some point in our lives that goes with it. Yesterday however, Nige learned that this particular dance is uniquely Australian, and that most of the rest of the world has no idea that it exists! This then lead to the question, if it's uniquely Australian, where did it come from? How did it start?
1) Most inappropriate thing someone has ever said to you in a job interview? 2) Acting DCPO Hall O’Megaher joins to discuss all things speeding and tickets! 3) Scott Morrison’s response to the Britney / Parliament allegations 4) Nige dives into the Mailbag

Kristen & Nige wanted to do their own little survey this morning, and asked the question - Who’s more exhausting to raise, boys or girls? Terry from Banks has 3 girls and 3 boys, and he absolutely didn't hold back his thoughts on the matter!
1) The Duchess of Sussex's feet! 2) Are boys or girls more stressful to raise? 3) Canberra’s most unique pet name 4) Peter Ford Interview
Have you ever been haunted by or seen a ghost? What were they wearing? This morning on the show Kristen & Nige were discussing the topic of what ghosts wear after they pass away! Is it the clothes they died in, the clothes they were buried in, or did they get a choice in the matter? Alexis in Bonner called in to tell us what her ghost was wearing when he came to haunt her!
1) What are the ghosts wearing? 2) Socks on or off to bed, is the debate finally settled? 3) School principal, should she be fired? 4) Tattoos of you ex, and have they been fixed?

What did you get up to when the world was fun?
How’d you meet story!
Nige found a headline this morning titled "TikTok user exposes little-known trick that holds fuel cap at the bowser" and absolutely couldn't believe what he was watching when he opened the video! The hack showed where to store your fuel cap while filling up your petrol tank, and Nige couldn't believe that more people didn't already know this. Even our very own Kristen and Tamara didn't know about this trick! We opened the phones to see if anyone else already knew about it and the answers might surprise you.
1) Serena William’s Catsuit and YOUR wardrobe malfunctions! 2) Kristen is officially old 3) Re-using the same plate - yuck or fine? 4 What’s the spelling of your name and we’ll try to pronounce it
Nige is a simple man and earlier in the week he confessed that living alone, he can leave his dirty plates out and reuse them again for another meal. Kristen was grossed out by his admission and he has since been named a bit of a grot. We asked Canberra, and their response surprised us! Do you think Nige is a grot?
1) Nige: "Don’t you make fun of my Skywhale!" 2) Kristen plays matchmaker with great success. Sandra from Dunlop has also had great success! 3) Nige’s Collective Noun of the Week 4) What did the kids ruin, or improve, at home?
Our news reader Kate has gotten some new art in her house, however its not something she really asked for. This morning on the show she had a photo to show us and a story to tell, when she found pencil and crayon all over her white kitchen cupboards! This lead to us asking what "home improvements" have your kids made? Jim from Macgregor called in to tell us what his daughter got up to when she was left unsupervised!
This morning on the show Kristen & Nige were asking the people of Canberra what things they are particular, picky, or weird about. Nige is particular about stereo volume numbers, Kristen is picky about her towel tags, and Tegan from Bungendore is insistent about which way the toilet paper should sit on the roll! Lucky for her, Nige absolutely agrees with her!
1) Nick Kygrios: ‘Get out of my box’ 2) Canturf puns - is this Kristen's new calling? 3) What are you weird and particular about? 4) What hairdressers hate!

1) Work wives and husbands - who does Nige see as his work wife? 2) Oldest piece of furniture in your households! 3) Have you ever done the school pick up in your PJS? 4) Adele divorce settlement - do you have any crazy divorce rules?
Coca-cola has recently started producing cans with "Share a coke with your work wife" written on them, amongst other similarly named products, which raised the question here at the station "what is a work wife?". Now for those of you that may not have heard the term before, you might be asking yourself the same thing. Not to worry! Bec from Jerra called in to help explain the term!
1) Kristen and Nige speak with Midnight Oil's Peter Garret! 2) What did you find in your kids hair? 3) Nick Kygrios' adult tanty - have you ever had one? 4) The Womb Song
This morning on the show Kristen and Nige had the chance to talk to Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil, and they learned a rather interesting bit of trivia. Earlier during the show Nige was asking people to call through and tell him about the time they had an adult tantrum. Turns out that Peter is guilty of having one, and it nearly landed him and the rest of the band in San Francisco jail!
1) The Snowman and the Garbo - Who' side are you on? 2) Nige paid overs to the Tradie! 3) Bunnings dog attack.. Should dogs be banned from Bunnings? 4) Rest in Peace Sir Thomas Moore
This morning on the show the guys took a moment to be a little more serious, and talk about Captain Sir Thomas Moore, who passed away last night. If you don't remember who this man is, he was a WWII veteran who set out to raise £1,000 ($1,800 AUD) before his 100th birthday, for National Health Services staff during the pandemic last year. He was later knighted by The Queen after he finished up raising £33 million (approx. $60 million AUD). After everything Sir Thomas did to help health workers last year, Nige felt it was important to pay tribute to this true hero.
1) To celebrate back 2 school this week..

With the kiddies going back to school this week, it got Kristen & Nige reminiscing about their school days, or more specifically, the years that they graduated. As a result, this morning's show was absolutely chock-a-block full of nostalgia. After talking a bit about the years they graduated, Nige decided to look up what songs were at the top of the charts for those particular years, and the answers may surprise you!
1) Nige got a pregnancy pillow! 2) Kristen’s bucket list item to write puns for the Canturf signs 3) Ask Nige 4) Real Canberra Campaign .. What’s the real Canberra?
Have you ever sustained an injury and managed to hurt yourself quite badly, but done it in the stupidest way possible?

1) An ode to the skywhale. 2) How much have you paid for shoes? 3) Ever found a stranger in your house? 4) Carrie Bradshaw shoes!
Have you ever found a stranger in your house? That was the big question on today's show, after Kristen found a story of a woman who found a stranger living in her roof who had been there for 3 WEEKS! We opened the phones so we could hear your stories, and as a result we found another Nige!
1) Viktor the Viking Interview 2) Cold Chisel Criminal 3) You break it, you buy it! 4) Cheeky restaurant names
Kristen has seen plenty of "you break it, you buy it" signs in her life, but had never heard of anyone actually having to pay. This morning we opened the phone lines and asked the people of Canberra what they had to pay for after they broke it.
Have you ever been caught watching something you probably shouldn't have been? Kristen has! Maybe it was a show you were meant to be watching with your partner, or maybe it was something a little more risqué.. Either way, we reached out to our audience to find out if anyone else has been caught in the same situation as Kristen, and we weren't disappointed!
1) Nature strip mowing 2) Jess Eva calls up for a chat! 3) Getting caught watching something you shouldn’t 4) Bridgerton is returning for season 2!
We all remember the hail storm that hit Canberra in 2020. There were thousands of claims and it was chaos. Do you remember where you were when it hit? Nige, dodged the hail storm by parking in a covered area in Kingston. Kristen was at the gym and was completely written off. We opened the phone lines to hear your stories about where you were when it hit and if you are still waiting for your insurance claim.
1) Inauguration for Joe Biden 2) This day a year ago we were reflecting on the HAILSTORM that happened in CBR the day before.. Are you still waiting for repairs? 3) Nige and the Monkey Tail Beard 4) When do you get a full nights sleep again after kids?
Kristen was speaking with another mother about how to teach your kids a lesson. The issue she was having with her sons is that they would leave their stuff everywhere. Bikes, clothes, toys, you name it, it was left all around the house. She decided to teach them a lesson and decided not to clean up after them. Well, it didn't work and she lasted 6 days before she began to clean up after them. This got us thinking...when did you teach your kids a lesson? Ellyse called up and she had the funniest story about a strange thing her child used to do when they entered the car.

If you've listened to the show before you've probably heard Nige talk about how he isn't in to social media. AT ALL! He has stated many times in the past that he will never have an account. Well Kristen did a bit of snooping and found an account she definitely thinks is his. Has he been lying to us this whole time?
It's that time again for 'Ask Nige'. This week we're asking Nige about some relationship advice and there was three curly questions. Caution - we are asking relationship advice from someone who isn't in one!
Reebok and Nike song. Do you own a bidet? Ask Nige. Mother-in-law ruined pregnancy announcement.
Were you an insignificant extra in a movie? Bunnings are releasing their own version of collectables. How long has it been since date night? For Kristen it’s been two years. What your sleeping position says about you.
Date nights are one of those special things when you are in a relationship that you don't always get around too. Kristen tells Nige how long it has been since her last one on one date, and we don't meet months its been years! We also open the phone lines and she is not alone with it being even longer. We mean longer than a DECADE.
Today we wanted to hear about the worst injuries you've seen on an E-Scooter. We opened the phone lines and had Becky call through from Dunlop. Becky tells Kristen and Nige about a time where she heard a young man fall off an E-Scooter. He did have to go to hospital and his injuries had the guys gasping!
E-Scooters in Canberra.. Worst injuries you’ve seen using them. Kristen now has a Nanny and everyone keeps saying ‘make sure she’s not pretty!’ - Did someone actually run off with the Nanny? A client had to break up with her hairdresser because she was an interior designer and the hairdresser kept asking for advice. 2021 predictions.. according to an asparagus?
Kristen is back (not only on air but in the office!). We asked Canberra what they wanted to know from Kristen and they delivered.

Tamara has a bit of an online shopping habit, and unfortunately for her, her husband Jock has found her hiding spot where she keeps her purchases. Of course, rather than learning her lesson, Tamara wants help working out a new hiding place!

Did you ever have to do something serious dressed in fancy dressed costume? Nige’s reflex test. The ranking of Christmas food. Chief of the Police in the ACT Neil Gaughan .
Nige recently found one man's ranking of certain Christmas foods, and the team isn't happy about where some of the items have fallen on this list. The list included everything from prawns to eggnog to Cadbury yule logs and more.
Have you ever gone to extreme lengths because you were too lazy to do something? Recently Nige heard that Tamara's brother ordered Uber Eats delivery for something he could have walked across the street to get himself. This resulted in the team asking "What is Canberra's laziest Uber Eats order?" We spoke to a few callers about the laziest orders they know of, however we're fairly certain that Kristen takes the cake.
Nige’s Mail Bag. Dr.Brad Tucker - Celestial events. Nige and Tamara open a gift each sent in from Colin at Ngunnawal. How much did your kid rack up on the internet?

A few weeks ago on the show Nige and Tamara were having a debate about handmade vs store bought gifts.

Nige found a story about a cow that fell in a pool in America and ended up being rescued by firefighters. This lead us to asking: what weird and whacky animals have fallen into the pool at your place? We ended up receiving a caller from Yass with an animal that we definitely never would have guessed!
You either love it or you hate it - Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'. Nige is firmly against it, but Tamara loves it.

Maybe not all of us, but surely a lot of us, have at some point in our lives taken something that didn't belong to us. Today on the show Nige confessed to something he stole, and let's just say if he get's taken away by the Royal Australian Navy, we'll know why!
