Especially if you’re given a nickname like “Croat Nat”.

It’s nothing. Just that it rhymes I guess. Nat/Croat and she’s from Croatia. It’s fine.
It’s Lachie the Geek that people should be concerned about.

What the actual fuck? Do Sydneysider’s really enjoy this shit? As if they couldn’t get any lower. No wonder Melbourne is turning off KIIS at Breakfast.

That was disgusting. Why not rebrand to Smutfm. Can’t believe the trash they air these days.

What I don’t get is all the sudden outrage now?
You guys know they’ve been on air for 20 years? This stuff is nothing new.

I used to listen to them daily but now only listen if I’m driving in the morning, but I don’t recall them ever being so sexual, the last few years it’s like they’re obsessed it’s weird and gross. If that’s your thing then each to their own. But I personally think there’s a time and a place I don’t think breakfast radio is it. Obviously the Sydney audience gets off on it.
I don’t even remember them being like this at 2Dayfm & the first few years at KIIS. But it’s definitely been getting progressively worse in recent years.

Their egos have been getting bigger each year

So because you’ve been desensitised to all their shit and accept any outrageous thing they do, you think everyone else should too?

I think to anyone not listening daily we knew they could swear and be edgy but I don’t think they’ve always just been an onlyfans radio show.
Howard Stern gave up this stuff years ago. It’s very niche.

It’s not really. If I called a coworker Croat Nat at work, even in jest, I’d be in front of HR. Think about it. If you don’t believe me, ask your HR manager at work.

Being not from Sydney, I haven’t had any cause to listen to what is actually on this show. But now, as it’s expanded to Melbourne, and threatening Brisbane, I’m finding out for the first time. That’s why people outside Sydney are surprised.
I’m genuinely shocked. And yes I’m absolutely surprised Sydney listens to this.
A pissing contest live on air? What the actual f. It won’t fly in Brisbane.

That’s exactly it. To people outside of Sydney who haven’t heard them this is quite shocking. I thought they were a bit sweary and risque, but this type of thing is just gross and insulting. It has come as a surprise they were quite this low.

Did I say that?
I suppose everyone has different levels of what they find offensive, and KJ are more than happy to skirt along and over that line, as the last global bastions of shock jocking.
Personally, I don’t take great offense to toilet humour. The sound of liquid in a toilet bowl doesn’t have me clutching my pearls and calling for their heads to roll. However, the clip in that segment where they were talking about “being famous for not sucking d**k” is totally inappropriate for a morning programme.

Is there even outrage? It’s only here, Steve Price and the occasional Media Watch story.
People in Melbourne aren’t outraged, they just aren’t listening.

Not necessarily outrage, but…
In a recent segment titled “dudes weeing”, five women who worked on the program recorded themselves urinating, ostensibly to determine whether it was possible for a third party to identify some or all of them based on their toileting habits. Naturally, the commentary featured a spirited discussion of menstruation, and panty liners, and vaginas because (did I say this already?) sex sex sex.
In Melbourne, where that sort of caper is still capable of generating a headline, there was a ripple of indignation, but for Sydney listeners whose ears are so full of calluses that it’s tough for any sound to get through, there wasn’t an outraged headline in sight.

I don’t think outrage is the right word. Mostly people just think they’re gross and a bit offensive, and can’t comprehend people finding them entertaining.
