Do I Have to Give Up the Weed?

Broadcaster Kyle Sandilands is a star. Love him or loathe him he is one of the most powerful figures in Australian media.  He’s a self made multi millionaire, and someone who has never been afraid to voice his opinions on and off air. 

In this episode, Kyle and Jess dig deep on why becoming a dad has given him permission to be vulnerable and expose his softer side, often ‘crying at the drop of a hat’.

Kyle’s on a better road now, letting go of his bad boy pastimes and the harshness he often used as a front. He tells Jess its all because he now has something more important than himself to care about, his beautiful baby Otto.

Kyle also opens up about the dad he wants to be, and why he’ll never go to therapy, choosing to suppress the trauma of his childhood, and masking his pain with humour.

You might also be surprised to learn that there’s a shy side to Kyle, having never been the instigator when it comes to women, wait 'til you hear his love story with fiance Tegan.
