Kyle Sandilands' manager exposes juicy secrets about shock jock: 'Just lie'
"The amount of times that we've just lied to the press..." Kyle Sandilands' manager revealed.
Kyle Sandilands' manager Bruno Bouchet has revealed several secrets about the shock jock live on-air on Monday morning. Bruno, who is also the director of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, said that managing Kyle was the "funnest job in the world" but offered listeners an insight into who he really is.
"I thought I thought I'd share some of my observations and some of the trade secrets with people," Bruno told Jackie 'O' Henderson, who explained that he was on the show to speak about what he's learned about Kyle over the years.
"I've got to say it is probably the funnest job in the world," he said. "Like when Kyle calls, it could be anything. It could be a three hour chat about the news. It could be he's lost on the border of the US and Mexico."
"Oh, that's right, I called you because I rented a Range Rover once and it only had iPhone capabilities, like for your sat nav, and I don't have an iPhone. I've got that encrypted Blackberry," Kyle said.
Bruno explained that Kyle called him, saying he was lost, and Jackie was left confused and asked how he even began to help with that situation. He explained that he got Kyle to slow down and tell him what roads he could see and what other landmarks were around, and he managed to prevent him from going over the Mexican border by mistake.
"It's like you're a kidnap victim," Jackie joked.
'This is going to sound a bit weird'
Bruno added that Kyle has asked him to treat him in a surprising way, saying, "Kyle sat me down and said, 'Look, I know this is going to sound a bit weird, but you've got to think of me as an Australian Post parcel.'
"And by that, he means that when he's travelling or he's doing anything, you've just got to think of him as someone without arms and legs and needs all the help in the world. So, if Kyle's flying somewhere and he arrived at the baggage area, well we've got to organise for someone to pick up the baggage for him."
"Wait, he can't pick it up?" Jackie asked, confused.

"He could, but he's an Australia Post parcel, and Australia Post parcels don't have arms," Bruno quipped.
Jackie jokes that what Bruno is trying to say is that Kyle doesn't want to have to lift a finger "or an arm" to do anything for himself, with Bruno saying that he believes Kyle's "earned the right" to do so.
'Don't have to tell them the truth'
Bruno also shared another of Kyle's secrets, saying, "Kyle tells me this regularly, and I love this, I live by this philosophy – the press isn't the FBI, you don't have to tell them the truth, you don't have to tell them anything. So, a lot of people, when they get media inquiries, they're like, 'Oh God, what are we going to say?"
"The amount of times that we've just lied to the press, like they've enquired about stuff and we've just gone, we'll tell them this to get them off our case and they just eat it up and they move on, and it's so refreshing to just lie and be like, 'So what, there's no consequence!'"
'Unfair'
Bruno also brought up the "impossible amount of free stuff" that both Kyle and Jackie O receive, with Jackie saying, "It's unfair that that's how it works," given she is very well off and doesn't need free things, that she believes other people would love to receive.
"I disagree, I think it's very fair," Kyle deadpanned.

"[Kyle] will walk into the BP and he'll say, 'What have you got for me, today?' Like for free and the lady will say, 'Oh you can have two chocolate bars,'" Bruno added, saying that Kyle will do this in front of other paying customers.
When Jackie asked what Kyle does with all the freebies he receives, Bruno responded, "Nothing, they just sit in his car and they accumulate and then when it's too much, Kyle sells the car."
'One of the most generous people'
Speaking about his 'mean' on-air persona, Bruno added that this is very much not what Kyle is like in real life.
"This is very un-Kyle of him, but he does do charity privately," Bruno told the listeners. "He's one of the most generous people, but right now, he'd be hating that I'm saying he's super charitable."
"But a lot of people have a problem when I pull up to the homeless area and start handing out $100 bills and they get into a frenzy. People say, 'You shouldn't be giving them money, they're going to buy drugs'. They're homeless, if they want to hit up heroin, who cares," Kyle responded.
"The other thing that Kyle will get cranky at me for revealing is he hates it when I say that he's a really good person," Bruno added, saying Kyle tells him, "That's millions of dollars of marketing down the drain."
"Don't tell everyone, don't even speak of me," Kyle said.
