For over 20 years, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson have been Australia's most commercially successful and most controversial radio duo.
But on Friday, the 20th of February, the pair had an on-air clash that appears to have completely blown up their working relationship.
Anyone who has ever listened to the show, which I will admit is me.
It's kind of unavoidable that you've been flicking through the radio and you've caught a segment.
So anyone who has ever listened to it will know that a fight between them is unsurprising.
There are often headlines about one of them storming out for some reason.
It'll be like, where's Kyle?
He hasn't shown up for work for five days.
Or that Jackie stormed out, whatever it is.
But this clearly was different because on that Friday show a couple of weeks ago they were addressing the news surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor when Jackie read out the ex-prince's astrological birth chart.
I'm disappointed.
I'm actually really disappointed.
Then Kyle lost it.
And I want to play a bit of that exchange.
So in a lot of ways it's similar.
Like they do press each other's buttons and Jackie does go, oh, Kyle.
Like if she had a soundbite it would just be, Kyle, like why are you doing that?
But in this particular one I think you could tell that she was genuinely offended and embarrassed, that he had embarrassed her.
And she says back to him, I would never say things like that about you, which is true because as a listener, there are many days where you're like, Kyle is phoning it in today.
