Kyle and Jackie O’s Shocking Restaurant Tipping Secrets Revealed!

BBG News

Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson have shared the amount they usually tip at restaurants, leaving their audience astounded.

On Monday’s episode of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, the radio hosts discussed the recently implemented unusual tipping method: in this case, a server presents the customer with an EFTPOS machine and guides them on how to input a tip.

Discussions were ignited about whether TV hosts typically include service charges on their own bills following a meal, which is what we refer to as the “tipping surveillance” phenomenon.

When posed with the question, Jackie, 50, revealed she usually tips between 15 and 20 per cent. 

Kyle, 53, on the other hand is a lot more generous.

In my own words, I confess that numbers and calculations aren’t my strong suit. However, if we’re talking about $500, rest assured, it will be covered – an additional $500 tip will be coming your way!

When Brooklyn Ross, a bit surprised, inquired if it meant he was indeed doubling the price, Kyle responded affirmatively by saying, “Indeed, I’m doubling the price.

Earlier this year, it became known that Kyle has constructed a multimillion-dollar business empire, with an estimated value of $100 million.

The popular Sydney radio host credits his extraordinary achievement to three straightforward but powerful phrases.

During a fascinating discussion on the Game Changers Radio podcast, Paul Dowsley, who was the original producer of The Kyle & Jackie O Show, revealed an unexpected key to Kyle’s success.

Dowsley was part of the team that secured a prime breakfast slot for the show on 2DayFM in 2005.

He mentioned that a significant portion of their success was attributed to Kyle frequently telling his superiors, “I don’t care.”

Kyle’s repeated use of the phrase “I don’t care” played a key role in the duo’s achievement, as per what he shared.

Paul Bruce, then serving as the program’s content director, recounted several instances where Kyle deviated from the standard approach of traditional morning radio hosts.

To maintain the timely reporting of news and traffic updates, the guidelines required breaks every three minutes.

Craig remembered receiving a reprimand from Kyle during breaks, as the radio host extended live discussions beyond the 20-minute mark.

‘I’m not looking at the clock when the [segment] is happening, mate,’ Kyle would say.

I’m focused on living in the present. If a piece of content turns out to be engaging, I’m not bothered if the news program goes overtime as a result. It makes no difference to me either way.

Craig mentioned that he held a distinct idea about how a breakfast radio program ought to be conducted, an idea which Kyle quickly discarded.

He mentioned that he had set ideas about the structure and style of a show, specifically a breakfast show, which were rigidly established. However, Kyle boldly disregarded and shattered each of these preconceived notions. And he’s grateful for that.

In our conversation, we discussed the inconvenience of traffic delays lasting for 20 minutes, and often found out that by the time we broadcasted the information, the motorway blockage had already been cleared.

‘Kyle didn’t care. “I don’t care, that’s somebody else’s problem,” he’d say. “I don’t care”.’

Paul said that he found Kyle’s unconventional approach refreshing.

I too enjoy defying rules occasionally, so I rather appreciated the fact that the news didn’t air on schedule, the talk segments were longer than usual, and sometimes we skipped songs, with him occasionally making suggestive comments.
