Today on your bFM Breakfast: we give a hearty shaka to our new surf reporter, Stephanie; Jacinda Ardern uses rude words on air pre-watershed (awesome); Mikey's a Bad Feminist; the team bask in the warm post-deGrasse Tyson glow (apart from Ximena, who has her own stories to tell); and Ange takes verrucas, travel belly and critics to task.
A distinctly un-well adjusted mob of musical miscreants and tonal troubadors crowded together with all the subtlety of a lethargically raging bison ....ouch!
Dominated by On-U Sound's crucial collection Pay It All Back Volume 7, with no slouching from the rest, the fragrance is formidable - will ya look at the nose on this thing?!
