Eddie McGuire retired from radio in 2020 after more than a decade on Melbourne’s Triple M.

“Eddie and I have probably argued, argued and laughed together for 30 years, so why don’t we air it,” he continued.

Mitchell said their biweekly segment will be called the “Ideas Factory.”

“It’s about ideas,” he explained. “Eddie is always good for an idea, I usually have a few, we can toss them around and agree or disagree or whatever.”

Eddie ended 11 years on Triple M Melbourne’s The Hot Breakfast in November 2020.

Speaking to the Herald Sun, the 57-year-old claimed he had “been in pain for a while” with the weight of the decision to leave radio.

Eddie joined Triple M as a young journalist in 1988 and has been featured on the Hot Breakfast show since 2009.

“Always leading up to an announcement like this, convince yourself five times to go on, not to go, to go on, not to go, because you love the show, but it’s been hurting for a while. ‘ he admitted.

“To be honest, the constant feeling of jet lag you have when you do breakfast radio gets worse the longer you do it, and you get a little older as well,” he said.

Eddie also added that his various other personal and professional commitments regularly produced “huge records” [his] diary blocked’, which made him ‘tired’.

“So there it is. I’m looking forward to being a little more relaxed, to be quite honest,” he reasoned.
