Reporter learns why you shouldn't let random Aussies speak on live TV

He's seen Debbie, alright.

Natural disasters and live rolling television coverage. What could go wrong?

Parts of the coast in Queensland, Australia were lashed by the powerful Cyclone Debbie on Tuesday, with residents hunkering down indoors.

It's a tad boring to sit around and play cards all day, so one resident from the town of Bowen decided to have a little fun with Channel 7 reporter, Paul Burt.

And we will warn you, things get a little explicit from here.

In case you missed it: "I've finally met Debbie. I've heard about Debbie doing other things, but now she's giving Bowen a blowjob," the man said, before turning away with a smirk, obviously referencing the 1978 porn film, Debbie Does Dallas.

Burt pulled the microphone away from the man -- a little too late -- and tried to explain what happened.

"This is Bowen, people. You should see what's written on the fence line around here," he said.

See people, this is why you don't let random Australians speak on live television.
