‘Kyle’s a grubby buffoon’: Steve Price claims Melbourne won’t accept Kyle and Jackie O
Steve Price has dismissed Kyle Sandilands as a “grubby buffoon”, claiming that Melbournites won’t warm to the shock jock and his co-host Jackie Henderson, after the pair signed a “historic” deal yesterday that will see them take over the city’s KIIS FM breakfast slot.
Price made his comments on The Project yesterday, while also admitting the pair are worth the $200 million that ARN will pay them for the ten-year extension. “If you are successful, they will pay you the big money,” Price started, before unleashing on the show’s content.
Oh god please no. The last thing we need right now is a Kyle Sandilands / Steve Price feud.
Having lived in both Sydney and Melbourne I can guarantee that it will work. When it’s the middle of winter, when all the trees have lost their leaves, when it’s a cold grey day in Melbourne there is nothing like this duo to brighten your day and make you laugh. Bring it on.
This record deal is outrageous and indicative of a decaying in society and societal standards. Cringeworthy reality radio calls, embarrassing people on air – staged or not staged – it is not entertainment worthy of a 200million deal. How can our society support such opulent deals when so many are struggling with the rising cost of living, increased mortgage rates – whilst exposed to the opulent and thoroughly outrageously excessive lifestyle of an extreme minority. If Kyle and Jackie were the types to use that windfall to help others who are so desperately in need. Walk the streets of Melbourne and really see the homeless situation, go visit the people living in the high rise housing commission units, look into the eye of the children who could use hope and opportunity, go to the children’s hospital and see parents with sick children trying to keep families together and pay for parking (discounted but not free). This is real life – not toasting Moët to two individuals who have negotiated a windfall to further increase their own personal wealth without any regard to the real life situations of real people who struggle every day. What it says about a society that thinks this deal is ok, or that celebrates a windfall for two individuals while so many are struggling, and it makes the news – this is disturbing. Perhaps this is a far left, socialist view of the world – and I am not the type of person to express such an opinion publicly – but perhaps we are needing a revolution of sorts to bring people with their heads in the clouds back down to see what is happening back on the ground – in a genuine and authentic way!
