Ok.
So we had the brilliant Matt Corby on our radio show for Like A Version and it was very very good and you can listen to it here if you so wish.
You really should. It was killer.
After all the chatting/music business, as is tradition, Matt, Alex and myself took a photo together to mark the lovely occasion. I noticed that Matt had brought his sunglasses into the studio. Simply for a bit of colour and movement, for a bit of amusement, for a bit of joy de vivre, for a bit of zAnY KOH-medy, I incorporated said sunglasses into said photo.
Normally I look super hot and buff and cute and funny in these photos, but in this instance, positioned only a few centimetres from one of the most handsome and talented people we’ve ever had on the show, I appear to be an amateur magic enthusiast from the 90s who has been photoshopped into a photo with two nice people smiling normally.
Upon seeing this photo and my cringe-inducing pose, triple j lunch presenter and Cronulla resident Lewi McKirdy remarked:
“Wow, Ballard; looking pretty kewl!”
Then he made this:

Then shit got real. Other triple j employees – WHO GET PAID WITH YOUR TAXES TO GET SOME FUCKING WORK DONE – had their respective cracks:

Then some genius opened it up to the triple j listeners via Facebook.
Here are some of my favourites:

Stay kewl, everyone.
