Is Kyle Sandilands a sweetheart?

When I’m related with Sandilands by way of telephone, he’s racing away from his workplace by way of considered one of his luxurious vehicles and heading dwelling as a result of his accomplice Tegan Kynaston has an pressing magnificence appointment.

Sandilands is good-humoured about it.

“She rings me and tells me, ‘I’m going to get a spray tan, so can you hurry up? The Baby’s teething and I need help.’

“I’m spewing, but of course, I said, ‘yes, sweetheart’,” he jokes.

There’s little doubt that Sandilands’ picture has softened over the previous few years, and a sensible concept contemplating occasions are altering, however once I ask him if that was a deliberate transfer, he fobs that off utterly.

Sandilands reckons he’s at all times been good, however individuals solely centered on sound bites to sum him up.

“I can still be a bit c***ty, maybe I tried too hard in the early days, but now I don’t”, he explains.

While he would possibly come throughout sweeter, he nonetheless wouldn’t name himself a feminist.

“I wouldn’t use that phrase, but I do fall under that umbrella,” he admits.

“I do believe women are more amazing than they’ve ever been given credit for, and I’m soft with women.

“If a woman starts crying, I’ll start crying. Anyone that ever dated me has always said, ‘Yeah, he’s a pussy, really’.”

So why draw back from the label?

“Because you sound like you’re wearing a brown knitted jumper and hanging out in Newtown,” Sandilands jokes.

Which is a far cry from the picture he curated of himself having coffees with controversial John Ibrahim in Kings Cross.

Still, once I inform him I believe it’s important that males normalise calling themselves feminists, he’s recreation.

“I’ll say it on the show on Monday and see what happens. I’ll say, ‘I’m a feminist’ and imagine the rubbishing.” He laughs, already anticipating the backlash.

Despite Sandilands shying away from the phrase, he has made the last word feminist transfer up to now.

Way again within the early 2000s, when pay parity wasn’t the loud dialog it’s now, he came upon his new co-host Jackie O was getting paid lower than him, and it enraged him a lot he supplied to take a pay minimize himself in order that they’d be paid the identical.

Sandilands tells the story in his common matter of truth approach, no bells or whistles.

“I went and spoke to our general manager and told her Jackie O getting paid less wasn’t right! I told her to make it even and use my money.

“She said, ‘You want to give Jackie money out of your own money?’ And I said ‘yeah!’

“Two hours later, she said I will increase Jackie O’s salary, but won’t take any off you,” he explains.

Sandilands admits that he and Jackie O don’t mirror on that second usually, however ever since, they’ve checked in with one another and made positive they’re each going okay throughout negotiations.

In truth, he has at all times been protecting of Jackie O. When I recommend she get again on the relationship scene by way of discovering herself a sizzling rugby participant he baulks on the concept.

“No way! She’ll end up with the clap!”

In truth Sandilands makes it clear it is perhaps inconceivable to discover a bloke worthy of his co-host.

He can also be at present within the throes of some very totally different type of negotiations by way of planning his wedding ceremony, and he swears it’ll be a small affair with lower than 150 visitors.

That doesn’t imply it gained’t be star-studded, with everybody from Guy Sebastian to Samantha Jade set to carry out, even Ed Sheeran’s eager to attend.

Sandilands explains to news.com.au that the British singer even requested for the marriage date to be moved, “He might come and perform! He wanted me to bring my wedding forward so that he could come, but I said f#ck off!” he mentioned.

Still, even with out Sheeran enjoying, Sandilands isn’t wanting stars. He even invited Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

The invite is especially amusing when you think about Sandilands threw his assist behind Scott Morrison through the 2022 election.

He explains that he adopted up concerning the invitation when he rang Albanese for his birthday yesterday. Yes, the shock jock is making birthday calls to the Prime Minister.

“I said, ‘have you got your wedding invite?’ And I said ‘where is your f***ing RVSP?!’.”

But Albanese, gained’t simply get away with simply being a visitor. Sandilands expects him to work.

“I’m making him do a DJ set.”

The rich radio star additionally reveals who might be his groomsmen on the massive day. Sadly, Jackie O isn’t considered one of them.

“Simon Main, he is a convicted drug smuggler. The poor bastard still has that tag.”

“John Ibrahim, and so we’ve got a real gangster vibe happening, and my old bodyguard Max Lea, who’s now Demi Lovato’s head of security.”

Plus, Sandilands supervisor Bruno might be within the get together too.

Still, even wedding ceremony planning hasn’t exhausted Sandilands sufficient to not be in a feud.

He famously blasted Nine’s David Campbell this week, and unsurprisingly has no regrets about saying, “he makes me physically sick to look at”.

“I erupted, but I don’t really have a feud, but it’s funny when we go to movie premieres. If he sees me there, he turns around and leaves. He’s terrified.”

Strangely, I don’t suppose anybody needs to be petrified of Sandilands. He is definitely a sweetheart.
