1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Ever duper Cee Ellen eighteen past five Now is huge 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: news in radio over in Australia with their highest paid 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: by a mile duo, Kyle and Jackie O from Kiss 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: off air after a falling out. 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: So what's happened is? The drama started after Kyle Sanderlands 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: went after his co host Jackie O Henderson's work ethic 7 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: live on air. She walked away from the show. He's 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 2: been placed on a two week suspension, being told to 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: remedy the situation or his one hundred million dollar contract 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: will be canceled. Alexandria for Now is a TV producer 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: and host of the Beefing podcast. Hi Alexandria, Hello mate? 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 2: This isn't this like is not even close to the 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: worst thing that these guys have done on air? So 14 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,319 Speaker 2: why is this the thing that blows the show up? 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: See? That's where I'm skeptical. I smell a rat. I 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: find it so hard to believe that Kyle saying Jackie's 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: astrology is getting annoying is enough to blow up a 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: partnership of twenty years and a million dollar deal? 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: Are you suggesting it's a stunt? 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: I mean? Is that the craziest thing the two are 21 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 3: known for the biggest stunts in radio Australian radio history, 22 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: aren't they. So this is a pretty clever one if 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: it is. It's getting a lot of coverage. They're giving 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 3: a lot of information about things that are going on 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 3: behind the scenes, which if it was real. Do you 26 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: think we'd be so privy to all these negotiations and 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: things at ARN are saying to Kyle about he has 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 3: ten days to do this. 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: I don't know. 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: It feels like a stunt to save their brand and 31 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: save space, is my theory. 32 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: So is it possible? An alternative theory is that they 33 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: just priced themselves out of the market right. There was 34 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: a plan to take the show from Sydney to Melbourne 35 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: to Brisbane around the country. They signed new contracts a 36 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: couple of years ago two hundred and forty million dollars 37 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: over ten years, which is eyewatering. It's not going to plan, 38 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: and the employers have looked at it and gone, we 39 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: need to get out of this, We need to get 40 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: rid of them, and this gives them the opportunity. 41 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: So I think it's a combination. So yes, I do 42 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: think that that has cause this, because you know, there's 43 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 3: been a lot of activism against commercial sponsors, so they 44 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 3: are lost and Kyle and Jackio have lost a lot 45 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: of commercial sponsors as a result of all the activism 46 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: and fury. Obviously it was a failure in Melbourne, so yes, 47 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: all those commercial failings have contributed to a market where 48 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 3: having these eyewatering figures it is just not sustainable. But 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: the way in which they had to go about it, 50 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: I think is where the planned kind of the planned 51 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: facade or prank, sorry, the planned stunt has sort of 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: come into it to help Kyle and JACKIEO kind of 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: save face in a roundabout way, is what I believe, 54 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: instead of just axing them and giving them that humiliation, 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: I feel like they've made it like this so it 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 3: seems more organic and not just that the company network 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 3: has had to completely act. 58 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: I follow that. So she is offered a show, another 59 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: show on the station. Does she take it? And what 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: happens to him? 61 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 4: My theory is that eventually they're going to reunite under 62 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 4: a different contract not so expensive. Maybe I also think 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 4: that this could help save their brand. 64 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: With Kyle actually having to suffer consequences, Jackie's now angry, 65 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: Jackie's the good woman who you know has finally stood 66 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: up to Kyle. Does she take him back? Well, yeah, 67 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 3: she might take him back, but he's learned his lesson 68 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: and he's changed his tune and he's a new man 69 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: and he's not going to be as offensive anymore. That's 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 3: my prediction for what could happen in you know, six 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: twelve months. I don't think she's going to take the 72 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: radio without him. Could be wrong. She does have a 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: fairly successful podcast separate to Kyle. I believe so could happen, 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: but I wouldn't be surprised if the pair reunite under 75 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: a you know, the provisor that Kyle is a changed man. 76 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: Now would anyone believe that?
