Have you ever heard of ‘Mate Match’?”

RyanDzundza

i hope this story is true, maybe some of the Aussies can clear it up

This got the whole of Sydney laughing. Read it and you’ll see why! Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many Sydney folks DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney.
The DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called “Mate Match”. The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers “yes”, he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions.
The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner with (phone number) for verification. If their partner answers those same three questions correctly, they both win the prize.
One particular game, however, several months ago made the Harbor City drop to its knees with laughter.
Anyway, here’s how it all went down:

DJ: “Hey! This is Ed on FOX—FM. Have you ever heard of ‘Mate Match’?”

Contestant: (laughing) “Yes, I have.”

DJ: “Great! Then you know we’re giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you win. What is your name? First only please.”

Contestant: “Brian.”

DJ: “Brian, are you married or what?”

Brian: (laughing nervously) “Yes, I am married.”

DJ: “Thank you. Now, what is your wife’s name? First only please.”

Brian: “Sara.”

DJ: “Is Sara at work, Brian?”

Brian: “She is gonna kill me.”

DJ: “Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?”

Brian: (laughing) “Yes, she’s at work.”

DJ: “Okay, first question — when was the last time you had sex?

Brian: “About 8 o’clock this morning.”

DJ: “Atta boy, Brian.”

Brian: (laughing sheepishly) “Well...”

DJ: “Question 2 — How long did it last?”

Brian: “About 10 minutes.”

DJ: “Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn’t at stake.”

Brian: “Yeah, that trip sure would be nice.”

DJ: “Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o’clock this morning? Brian: (laughing hard) “I, ummmm, I, well...”

DJ: “This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?”

Brian: “Not that it was all that great, but her mum is staying with us for couple of weeks...”

DJ: “Uh huh. . .“

Brian: “. . .and the Mother-In—Law was in the shower at the time.”

DJ: “Atta boy, Brian.”

Brian: “On the kitchen table.”

DJ: “Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I’ve done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife’s work number and call her up.

DJ: “Okay audience; let’s call Sarah, shall we?” (Touch tones ringing....)

Clerk: “Kinkos.”

DJ: “Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?”

Clerk: “This is she.”

DJ: “Sarah, this is Ed with FOX—FM. We are live on the air right now and I’ve been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now.”

Sarah: (laughing) “A couple of hours?”

DJ: “Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give any\answers away or you’ll lose. Soooooo... do you know the rules of ‘Mate Match’?“

Sarah: “No.”

DJ: “Good!”

Brian: (laughing)

Sarah: (laughing) “Brian, what the hell are you up to?”

Brian: (laughing) “Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely honest.”

DJ: “Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your answers match Brian’s answers, then the both of you will be off to the Gold Coast for 5 days on us.

Sarah: (laughing) “Yes.”

DJ: “Alright. When did you last have sex Sarah?”

Sarah: “Oh God, Brian... .uh, this morning before Brian went to work.”

DJ: “What time?”

Sarah: “Around 8 this morning.”

DJ: “Very good. Next question. How long did it last?”

Sarah: “12, 15 minutes maybe.”

DJ: “Hmmmm. That’s close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect his manhood.

We’ve got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?”

Sarah: (laughing) “Yes.”

DJ: “Where did you have it?”

Sarah: “OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn’t tell them that did you?”

Brian: “Just tell him, honey.”

DJ: “What is bothering you so much, Sarah?”

Sarah: “Well...”

DJ: Come on Sarah where did you have it?

Sarah: “Up the arse”

They had to call an ambulance for the DJ he thought he was going to have a heart attack, he could not stop laughing. Apparently there was an unusually high call out of the Sydney Police just after this conversation, for minor traffic collisions.

Sounds like an urban legend. That joke has been around from American quiz shows forever. I 'll look it up in a sec...

Okay, here's Snopes on it:

It turns out that the very basic details of the legend are true (with regard to The Newlywed Game on U.S. TV), but the Sydney story is highly suspect (as many details change from telling to telling).

I heard the radio version going around back in the late 90s. in an e-mail link. Had the same gist, mother in law, kitchen table and punch line. It didn't SOUND like it was staged.
There were a couple others. One where a guy calls in and wins a valentine not knowing his wife is on the line he has it sent to his girlfriend.
The best one was where a guy has a joke played on his wife having the station call as his boss telling her he got fired. She tries to tell him not to let him go because he has kids and needs the money etc. The "boss" tells her he was boinking the secretary and she goes postal screaming about how he can find his crap on the lawn. Final line she screams "now I don't feel so bad about fucking his brother!"
