He tweeted Karl Stefanovic ‘may have an urgent issue to deal with’ on Sunday.
And on Monday, Peter Ford revealed Peter Stefanovic called his brother Karl on speakerphone and had a conversation about Karl’s Today co-host, Georgie Gardner.
The entertainment reporter explained on The Kyle & Jackie O Show how the taxi driver recorded the chat and is now attempting to sell it to the highest bidder.

Peter Ford described while he wasn’t able to share the details of the conversation, the journalist brothers did ‘a bit of b**ching and a bit of moaning’.
‘Some of it would be embarrassing if it got out, but I think most fair-minded people would go, aah, there but by the grace of God,’ he cryptically added.
Co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson continued to prod: ‘So when you said [on Twitter] it could destroy a TV partnership, do you mean the network or someone on the show?’

‘Obviously I was talking about Georgie Gardner. I don’t know that it would destroy it, but it certainly would cause…’ he revealed.
Co-host Kyle Sandilands jumped in to question what was said between the Stefanovic brothers about Georgie, who joined Karl at Today earlier this year.
‘I just spent three minutes explaining I can’t tell you. Look, there was a bit of b**ching and a bit of venting,’ he offered.

The veteran entertainment reporter earlier shared the back story to the precarious situation with the breakfast radio hosts.
‘A TV celebrity, late at night, gets into a cab’s backseat, he decides to make a phone call, puts that phone call on speakerphone and rings someone he’s related to, his brother,’ he detailed.
‘And they have a good session, they have a very frank and full conversation, and they cover lots of territory, and they talk about lots of people,’ he continued.

‘The driver in the front seat records the whole thing, and he’s out there shopping it around. How low is that?’ he stated.
‘That’s low as low can be,’ agreed Jackie, while Kyle contended: ‘It’s lower than a snake’s a**hole, that is.’
Peter Ford declared while it was ‘healthy to vent’, the transcribed comments made by Peter Stefanovic that he had read were altogether ‘not earth-shattering’.

‘Because it’s an unusual relationship between those two, you just wouldn’t want a grenade thrown in the mix,’ he offered, then shared his opinion on Karl and Georgie.
‘They have a good working relationship. They’re both very talented people put together. Sometimes when you get two talented people put together, there’s a magic there,’ he suggested.
‘I’m not sure if there’s magic there. They’ve made no secret of the fact in the past they’ve had some differences and they’re trying to move forward with it,’ he added.
