In his debut comedy release, Daisy Bird le Maluza, which was released over the Christmas holidays, the former Yarona FM naughty presenter has opted to use a character called Daisy Bird, a drunkard, no-brain loose canon who says all the controversial stuff while Maluza just plays a Radio Presenter role, probing the loose canon to say everything.

The comedy also goes along to show the extent of the freedom of expression the comedian has as he attempts to push his jokes-cum-facts. When it comes to issues considered hot potatoes, Maluza addresses them in muted fashion, leaving everything to a discerning ear to interpret, which is which.

But even an interpreter may find himself or herself in the soup for getting the wrong end of the stick.  In one of the interesting presentations Daisy Bird, the drunkard reveals to Maluza that she was surprised to find that her boy friend Diketo, who works at a Marina mortuary, can in fact count.

Daisy Bird narrates how her boyfriend was shocked when he was counting up to 27! Then Maluza asks: 'A o e le gore o ne a bala'ng jaanong ko mmoshareng se se  27? (What actually was he counting at the mortuary, which counted up to 27?). That's when Daisy Bird says: 'Gatwe  marumo'( It was bullets!).

Then in one interview about ' sexual network', Daisy Bird comes to the studio and tells the nation that she has prominent politicians in her sexual network.

Maluuza probes her to share the story with the public. Daisy Bird cries and says her father, who is a vice president, has been sleeping with her. At the end of the interview Lady Bird says, ' Vice president ya SRC ya Brigade...'

Then in a joke called, Daisy Loo, Daisy Bird narrates that she was denied a job at the city council because they feared she would 'invoice herself...'

In another funny interaction, Daisy Bird asks for Bissau Gaobakwe's cellphone number because she wants to tell him that Batswana women are not happy with the coordination of Miss Botswana beauty pageant as now it has been turned into America, Indian, and whites pageant. She suggests the pageant should be renamed Miss Bokspits.

Nissan 1400 is nicknamed Mmaramotswe after the No.1 Lady's Detective Agency movie, where it features as Matekone's car of choice. The expensive lifestyle at a Riverwalk restaurant, Rodizio, is also comically captured in the narration by Daisy Bird, who tells of how a 'gentle man' dodged paying the bill after the chewing. In one comedy, the relationship between Chinese men and black women is exploited in a humorous style, too.

The character of the comedy, Daisy Bird, is introduced as a semi-educated active single mother whose relationships with men are not working out, thus forcing her to experiment with the good, the bad and the ugly.

She confesses that she had to chase away her first-born daughter from home because she had been sleeping with her (mother's) boyfriend!

Daisy Bird also comes out as a heavy drinker from Molepolole who also has children with several boyfriends.  In fact in one of the comedies she says she can't do without getting high every day. 

She says that is one thing she has in common with the late US singer Michael Jackson - getting high. In his introductory remarks, Luzboy says the story of Daisy Bird represents the average man's struggles.
