Side effects of Oxycodone may include light-headedness, confusion, and unusual tiredness or weakness.
Jackie replayed all the times Kyle was faint during the five days of his pain treatment.
The first encounter began with the radio shock jock saying he would “like to have the life” of colleague Josh Fox, who is openly gay and discussed sex with other gay men.

The second was when he asked producer Mayo, whose real name is Jaimee Hassos, the same question twice.
“Have you been in touch with any of his friends?” he asked, before adding, “Have any of his friends gotten in touch with you?”
The next segment was during a game of Who, What, Where? in which newsreader Brooklyn Ross questioned the anchors about an animal’s nose.
Kyle randomly thought of a bird and repeatedly tried to answer even though he didn’t get it right.
The final moment was during a taste test, where the hosts determined the best acai bowls in Sydney.

“He thought maybe he was just dreaming,” Jackie recalled.
Audio plays of Kyle saying, “I feel like I’m completely tripping up here, like I don’t even think this is actually happening on the air, right? I really don’t know what else to say.’
Brooklyn noted that it wasn’t until Kyle left the Endone on Tuesday that his mood changed and he stormed out of the studio.
Reflecting on their explosive on-air confrontation, Jackie admitted that she may have played a role in pushing Kyle over the edge.
“Calling him a loser was the turning point.”
Kyle had used the derogatory term to attack Brooklyn before Jackie turned the same insult on her colleague.
It was previously believed he angrily left the studio after clashing with Jackie while speaking about Covid-19 live on air on Tuesday.
The row started when Kyle revealed NSW Premier Chris Minns had canceled his studio appearance after testing positive for the virus.
Kyle became irritated when Jackie downplayed the severity of Covid, describing it as ‘just like the flu’.
He told Jackie that she would probably still self-isolate if she had the virus as she had been extremely cautious in the past, leading Jackie to shoot back: “I’m allowed to change my mind.”

Kyle then argued that she needed to have some “consistency” in her views on the virus.
The fight degenerated into shouting matches before Kyle declared he was going home and leaving the studio.
“Well, that escalated quickly,” a stunned Jackie said after Kyle left.
Executive producer Pedro Vitola then confirmed that Kyle had gone home.
Jackie continued, “What’s happening today? I tell you this full moon is confusing people.”
The bizarre incident comes less than a week after the Sydney-based radio duo signed a record $200 million, 10-year contract live on air.
This means the duo will dominate markets beyond their Sydney-based audience and expand their reach Melbourne For the first time.
An ARN spokesperson confirmed to Ny Breaking Australia that the deal means Kyle and Jackie’s KIIS FM work friends Jase Hawkins and Lauren Phillips will be out of a job and their Melbourne breakfast show will end in December.
