An Australian radio host has gained a lot of new fans over in the US after kicking a pair of ‘misogynistic’ TikTok stars off his show.
Kyle Sandilands and his co-host Jacqueline Ellen Last recently invited American podcasters Myron Gaines and Walter Weekes on to discuss some of their problematic viewpoints that have seen them rise to online fame in recent months.
For those not in the know, a clip of Myron and Walter’s male-focused Fresh & Fit Podcast went viral on TikTok where it sparked outrage due to their opinion that women should not have Instagram because it’s ‘a form of cheating’.

The duo have been described by many as ‘misogynistic’ and ‘sexist’, having previously said men and women ‘are not equals’.
Kyle himself has been involved in a number of controversies over the years, including making a joke about concentration camps and describing a journalist as a ‘fat bitter thing’.
Which is why when he gave the TikTokers a bit of a roasting on his show, people were quick to notice.
As is shown in the clip, the 50-year-old radio star says to the podcasters: “Your partner, they’re not like a pet, you don’t own them, you can’t control them.
Myron then makes the argument that ‘since the beginning of time, strong powerful men that had money and status were always able to have hoards of women’, using people like Hugh Hefner and Dan Bilzarian as examples.

But Kyle is having none of it, and when Myron asks if he can finish what he was saying, the host says: “I’m sick of you asking to finish your long, boring answers that are the same answer every time we ask you a question.”
As Jackie laughs, Myron reminds him that he invited them onto the show, to which Kyle says: “So f**king what clown? Here you are on the show, I can turn you off as well! Just turn these clowns off, see ya fellas!”
“Grow up, rings us back when you're 30 and you’ve got half a brain, you’re not running around being led around by your d**ks,” he adds before kicking them off the air.

It’s safe to say the online community were in favour of Kyle’s shutdown, with some suggesting that while Kyle doesn’t have the best reputation, in this case he was right.
“Dude if KYLE SANDILANDS gets one up on u, ur done, cancel ur f**kin podcast u can’t come back from this,” said one.
Another wrote: “I don’t say this often but, go off Kyle Sandilands.”
“When Kyle Sandilands makes you look like a f**kwit then you know you've really gone down the wrong path,” added a third.
Jackie was praised in a similar fashion after telling the duo earlier on in the show: “You are actually misogynistic and egotistical, and it's kind of a concern the way you view relationships like you have ownership of women.”

As said by one Twitter user: “Kyle and Jackie O going viral for being morally correct is the biggest plot twist of the 21st century.”
Another wrote: “Kyle and Jackie O are so right for dragging this clown.”
