Ex-Sunrise host David ‘Kochie’ Koch’s shock response to Sam Mac after the weatherman admits he misses him

Ex-Sunrise host David ‘Kochie’ Koch issued a cheeky response to his former colleague Sam Mac, after the weatherman texted him a heartfelt message.

Mac shared a screenshot of their conversation to Instagram on Friday, which showed that he recently reached out to Kochie, 68, with a sweet note.

‘I miss you, mate,’ Mac sent to David.

However, Kochie was having none of it and cheekily responded with a rude ‘flipping the bird’ emoji.

Many of Mac’s followers quickly took to the comment section to laugh over the hilarious exchange.

Nova star Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald posted a laughing emoji and another person added: ‘He’s a good boy, that Kochie.’ 

Kochie and Mac developed a reputation for their amusing banter when they worked together on the Channel Seven breakfast show Sunrise, which David resigned from last year. 

In June 2023,  Mac took a hilarious pot shot at outgoing Sunrise host Kochie on his final day hosting the top-rating show.

During his weather segment, Mac pointed out that the Sunrise offices were almost completely empty for Koch’s farewell.

‘Very exciting day, emotional, a real testament to how much you are loved, Kochie, looking at all the staff here,’ joked Mac as the camera panned across the darkened office.

The jabs continued throughout the morning’s prolonged farewell to the long-running breakfast show host, with Kochie eventually seeming to lose his patience.

At one point he extended his middle finger towards the camera in reaction to one of Mac’s many barbs. 

Later, Mac pointed out a hilarious sign on the door of Koch’s office.

‘Olympians Only’ read the sign, a nod to the fact the 68-year-old was to be replaced by Olympic sprinter Matt Shirvington.

‘This is your office, or it was, someone has already taken it over,’ said Mac, before leading the camera crew into the room.
