Triple M’s Lawrence ‘Moonman’ Mooney managed to put a smile on his colleagues’ faces on Friday, but at his expense.

Ouch! Triple M host Lawrence ‘Moonman’ Mooney suffered a fall while attempting to ‘flip the couch’ with a producer on Friday
His producer managed to flip the sofa over and land on the other side, but Lawrence misplaced his foot.
The unfortunate mistake caused him to fall backwards and land on the floor behind him, almost knocking over a nearby table.
While the producers ran to his aid, his co-hosts Jess Eva and Chris ‘Pagey’ Page could be heard giggling in the background.

After the break, Jess recalled the failed stunt and said: ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with human beings, but when you someone else get hurt it’s really exciting.’
Although the fall was a bruise to the ego, Lawrence said: ‘I gotta say it put the office in such a good mood.’
‘So high spirited horse play, hijinx, mucking around can really put a smile on everyone’s face,’ he added.

‘Why aren’t there signs?’ Earlier this year, co-host Jess – who was a former contestant of The Block – broke down on air after Lawrence revealed she had allowed her children to swim in the Parramatta River which has unsafe amounts of enterococci, a bacteria that can cause cholera
Earlier this year, co-host Jess – who was a former contestant of The Block – broke down on air after Lawrence revealed she had allowed her children to swim in contaminated water.
The experts at the Sydney Environmental and Soil Laboratory (SESL) revealed that the Parramatta River has unsafe amounts of enterococci, a faecal bacteria that can cause cholera.
‘Why aren’t there signs?’ Jess asked, as she broke down in tears.
Lawrence explained: ‘It’s basically an infection of the small intestine that kills you through dehydration.’
‘We’ve been swimming in faeces…’ she wept.
