Radio hosts slammed for crude joke about women using tampons: 'How is this allowed to go to air?'
Australian radio duo Jimmy Smith and Nathan Roye have been slammed after making an immature joke about women using tampons live on 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.
