Radio hosts slammed for crude joke about women using tampons: 'How is this allowed to go to air?'
The 2Day FM stars were presenting their breakfast radio show when Jimmy read out a joke from a book.
'Two tampons were walking down the street. Which one said hello first?' he asked.
His co-host Nath questioned: 'I don't know, which one?'
'Neither - they were both stuck up c**ts,' Jimmy responded, leaving one of the show's producers shocked.

'Producer Lolo, do you think you should buy the book after hearing something like that?' Nath asked.
'My soul just left my body,' the stunned producer said, to which Jimmy responded: 'Did your tampon?'
Listeners flocked to the radio station's Instagram page to express their outrage at the joke.
'Sorry love you guys.. not a cool joke,' one person wrote.
'Cringiest sh*t on radio, stop calling me,' another said while a third added: 'How is this allowed to go to air?!'
Jimmy and Nath were confirmed as 2Day FM's breakfast hosts back in January alongside Emma Chow.
The trio gained 0.5 per cent of the breakfast market share in the latest radio ratings.
The station finished at 4.5 overall - up by 0.2 - as it gains ground on Triple M's overall 4.9 market share.
Triple M recently suffered a brutal blow in the third radio ratings survey of 2025.
The survey showed that Beau Ryan, Aaron 'Woodsy' Woods and Cat Lynch's Sydney breakfast show continues to lose listeners.
The trio, who lost 1.5 per cent of the market share in survey two, dropped another 1.5 in the latest survey, bringing them down to a 4.4 market share from a previous 5.9.

Mary Fowler fuels speculation her romance with Nathan Cleary is in trouble with a VERY telling series of photos
Mary Fowler has fuelled rumours that her relationship with Nathan Cleary might be on the rocks. The Matildas star jetted back Down Under last Wednesday and has been catching up with family and friends since. However, Cleary, who usually meets her at the airport, was nowhere to be seen as she arrived home in Australia, with the injured Manchester City star emerging from the airport with a driver helping her with her bags. Over the weekend, Fowler was also seen paying the Panthers half-back a quick visit to his home in Sydney, but the pair were again not seen together. The 22-year-old, who has been ruled out until next year after she sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL) during City's Women's FA Cup semi-final clash against rivals Manchester United in April, has now taken to Instagram to publish a few snaps from the last few days. 'Free art,' she captioned the string of images and videos. Four of those clips included shots of her filming through the window during her flight, showcasing several stunning sunsets and vistas of a coastline. Fowler published a picture of a coffee as part of the set of photos, which had a love-heart shape forming in its milk, as well as a picture of a cloud formation, which also appeared to embody a similar shape. It also appears she has been spending some time with one of her Matildas team-mates, Lydia Williams. The Man City forward posted a snap of Williams appearing to drop her off at the airport, with a rainbow curving its way across the sky, as well as a snap of Williams' dog, Caviar, having a snooze in the back seat of the vehicle. Williams re-posted the image onto her own story, writing: 'Rainbows and building bands.' She also commented on Fowler's Instagram post, writing: 'Building The Band marathon.' The comment appears to be a reference to Netflix's new reality series where singers compete for a shot at forming the next big music group. Fowler had been unable to travel home following the conclusion of the Women's Super League season, after undergoing surgery on her knee. The footballer, who hails from Cairns, had previously explained that she had switched her allegiance from supporting Queensland to New South Wales because of Cleary. However, she was not present during this year's State of Origin Series, as the Panthers half-back was unable to lead his team to retain the shield at the Accor Stadium. In the past, the sporting couple has gone out of their way to support each other. Cleary flew over to Europe at the back end of last year. He followed the Matildas around the continent, notably going to support Fowler as the side took on Switzerland in an international friendly. Fowler, meanwhile, paid tribute to her boyfriend by publishing a snap of herself online wearing a Panthers jersey, after the team clinched their fourth-straight NRL premiership. But in the past month, Cleary and Fowler have both stopped posting about each other on Instagram. The Panthers star has not liked one of Fowler's posts since June 6 - which was the most recent time he was pictured on her account. The collection of images in that post had included snaps of their trip to the UK at the end of last year, one of which was an image of the pair taking a selfie together, smiling from ear to ear. 'Must be nice having a personal photographer follow you around,' Cleary had joked, noting that Fowler had published several snaps that he had taken of her walking through an old castle. It comes as a surprise, with the couple having regularly shared insights into their lives and relationship on social media, since they first went public back in 2023. In March, Fowler opened up on their relationship, revealing that the pair didn't really flirt the first time they met. 'We actually didn't flirt at all when we were texting,' she said. 'We just had really deep, genuine conversations. 'It would be, like, paragraph message[s], just about the way that we think about life. 'It was nice that it started that way, because I don't think I could do long-distance with someone that wasn't interesting to talk to.' She also gave her fans an eye-opening look into her plans for the future, admitting she doesn't see herself playing full-time in Australia 'anytime soon - if ever'. 'I really want to have a big family,' she added. Fowler has also removed a set of paw prints from her Instagram bio, which was understood to be a nod to the paw prints Cleary has displayed on his Instagram account, representative of his affiliation to the Panthers. Meanwhile, the Manchester City star also chose not to like his most recent post about his feelings of 'self-loathing and hurt' following NSW's State of Origin III thumping by Queensland. Another sign of a possible change to their relationship can be found on Instagram, where Nathan has been using paw-print emojis on his bio (circled) Despite concerns arising over their relationship, Fowler has been enjoying spending time back at home with her family and friends. She took to Instagram to publish a heartwarming image of her and her mum showing off their makeup routines, several images of herself spending time with her family, and an image of how her rehabilitation is progressing. And it appears her recovery is going very well. Fowler has shared images and videos of her back in the gym, working on the strength in her injured leg. The footy star was seen jumping without discomfort, a great sign, and also revealed the steps she's taking to keep progressing after such a horrible injury. 'I have recently made a conscious effort to think that I don't have like a bad knee that needs to be fixed, but I'm getting an upgrade and I'm getting an even better knee,' she said last month.

Out, damned shot! Macbeth becomes a cutthroat netball musical at Edinburgh fringe
A spate of Macbeths will hit the Edinburgh festival this month, all of which bring a novel spin on Shakespeare's Scottish play. There's Macbeth: The Musical, accompanied by pop classics, and Macbeth for Bairns, a sensory children's version with bubbles. But the most leftfield must be an award-winning show that has taken the Australian fringe circuit by storm. As mashups go, Lady Macbeth Played Wing Defence is nothing if not high-wire. It's a black comedy musical, which takes place on a netball court and features a seven-strong team of teen players, one of whom, Mac Beth, is a latter-day Lady M with vaulting ambitions of becoming Year 12 netball champion. The witches are a girl band called the Dagger Divas who goad her towards her goal, by any means necessary. Created and performed by an all-female creative team, Crash Theatre Co's production debuted at Perth fringe festival in 2024 and arrives in Scotland as part of the House of Oz season. It has been compared to both Six the Musical, which started out at the Edinburgh fringe, and the Australian musical Fangirls, which had its London premiere last year. Its writer, Courtney McManus, who is also co-lyricist and performs the role of the team's coach, works as an English teacher at an Australian school. She had noticed a lack of interest in Shakespeare among students and set out to encourage teenagers to connect with the tragedy. 'In the English departments I've worked in, these texts are the ones on the shelves that have dust on them … If I said to my students 'Who's Shakespeare?' they probably wouldn't be able to tell you because it's just not that relevant to them. That was key in my thinking: 'how do I make Shakespeare accessible and relevant?'' Macbeth has always been her favourite Shakespeare play but her family has more of a passion for sport. 'So for me it was about 'how can I get people invested in Shakespeare?'' As soon as she had the idea to set it in the world of netball, she knew it had to be a musical, with bass, synths and athleticism combined. Bec Price composed its electro-pop score and co-wrote the lyrics (she directs the show, too) with influences from Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and Charli xcx – but with added sporting elements. Price sampled the sound of netball trainers on a court for one of the show's main songs, Pick Your Player. 'Synths are my favourite instruments in the whole world because they're so layered,' says Price. 'So when the girls came to me to write the music I thought 'I'm going to make it a dance album' and that's exactly what they wanted … The vibe was that we wanted to make Shakespeare really cool and in the club … flashing lights and fast music with girls spinning around.' The play's themes transposed perfectly to the adrenaline-fuelled world of competitive netball, thinks McManus, and served as a way to explore young female ambition, rivalry and teamwork. 'The way the characters have been written by me mirror my experiences with young people when they're having their worst moments and when they're having their best, too.' Importantly, Mac Beth is given a redemption arc, explains McManus: 'Mac Beth still feels the guilt, she still suffers the consequences of her actions, but she has a road to redemption.' The core message of the show revolves around the collective power of the team and the girls, rather than the individual power that Mac Beth craves. 'We can take that message into the groups of women that surround us: we don't need to be the biggest and the best. We just need to be supportive and supported.' Price has worked as a youth mentor, running camps for young girls' mental health. 'I was really passionate about the word 'bossy' which is never used to describe a man. So what is being bossy? What is being ambitious? Let's put it on a stage and have everything go wrong but still at the end this girl deserves love, and to be part of the team.' Lady Macbeth Played Wing Defence is at Assembly George Square Studios, Edinburgh, 30 July to 25 August. The album is released on Spotify on 31 July.
