Kendall Forbes' Blog

Sometimes there's so much stuff I want to share, there's not enough time on radio! So for all the extra bits and pieces, you can check it out here.

I love videos, so there's plenty to view and I'm constantly updating this page as I find new and interesting things I think you'll like :)

 

 

Facebook - the musical! (in 3 minutes)

 

 

 

Cool Kiwi parody of 'Young, Wild and Free' by Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, thanks to the Wellington company Oosh Multimedia. This is "Always Be Kiwi". Choice.

 

 

This guy is asking people to pay it forward... he's doing his bit by giving away a holiday!

 

 

On Thursday 10 May, the NZ Radio Awards were held and I was a finalist for the third time (won in 2010). You can check out all the winners and finalists here.

 

May 7-13 was FOOD WEEK! Check out the Just Cook Food List -  a list of basic pantry and fridge/freezer essentials New Zealand households should always have on hand. Plus there's lots to discover at Just Cook's website, and their facebook page.

 

Maroon 5 has released their video for "Payphone". Check it out! 

 

And here's the original lyrics version.

 

 

Kim Dotcom has released a song about John Banks! Dotcom had some help from the Black Eyed Peas' producer Printz Board - I've got to admit, it's kind of catchy!

 

 

 

Do you text and drive? What about your family? This video show why it pays to just leave your phone alone while in the car.

 

 

Imagine if you could tunnel to the other side of the world! Have you ever wondered where you would end up?

The Map Tunnelling Tool is an easy (and awesom) app that works it out for you! Click here! 

 

Selma and Kenny and have been together 72 years, and when they couldn't make it to their grandson's wedding, they created this brilliant video of 5 Tips to a long and happy marriage (6 actually... but who's counting!) 

 

 

 

Worst ad ever? I think so! It's so bad it's good... 

 

 

Give a compliment today! Love this idea of "Drive By Compliments" :)

 

 

FUN's song "We Are Young" is brilliant... but what could make it better? Well, this awesome parody for 30-somethings called "We're Not Young"

 

 

 

I love this video... kids come up with the best excuses and this young girl has the BEST EXCUSE EVER! Her dad is super cool and calm as she claims her little plastic bowl is "too heavy" for her to have to take to the sink.

And the Oscar goes to.... 

 

RICHIE MCCAW IS SINGLE! Yes, you read that right - he confirmed with Graham Henry on our sister station Radio Live that he is "on the lookout" for a special someone. Have a listen here.

 

 

"Britain's Got Talent" is doing the audition rounds at the moment with the often-pessimistic Simon Cowell. Check out these surprise performers "The Zimmers"! 
 

 

I LOVE the new Hillary Clinton tumblr "Texts from Hillary" - it's brilliant. Basically, you take a photo of someone famous on their phone, a photo of Hillary Clinton on her phone, and imagine what they'd be texting each other.

 

  

 

What was the number one song on your 18th birthday? Apparently that song is your life's "theme song" or "soundtrack to your life".

Mine is Pink's "Don't Let Me Get Me". Oh dear.

Find out here for the Aussie chart, or as far back as our Kiwi charts go here.

 

 

  

Yes it's true - I was the Crusaders mascot at the Hurricanes pre-season game in Mangatainoka! Check out photos here.

It was an awesome weekend, and I can officially say Conrad Smith and Israel Dagg are two of the nicest guys!
