A live radio broadcast in Lithuania took an unexpected turn when one of the hosts, Jonas, let slip a profanity on air. The incident occurred after Jonas glanced at his phone, leading him to exclaim, "Eik tu n***i" (roughly translated as "Go f*** yourself"), a remark likely not intended for his colleague or the listening audience.
Eik tu n***i
His co-host, Laura, was visibly taken aback by the outburst. In the moment, she attempted to alert Jonas to his error by repeatedly calling his name and gesturing towards the microphone in front of him, indicating that it was still active.
It was only after Laura's intervention that Jonas seemed to realize the gravity of his slip-up. He promptly muted his microphone, acknowledging the mistake with a simple "Oops."
Jonai, Jonai...
