A heated exchange unfolded live on the Today Show between finance commentator Effie Zahos and the program’s tech guru Trevor Long.
The pair have been disputing over a car space at the Channel Nine studios in Sydney.
Host Karl Stefanovic expressed concern for the duo’s relationship on Thursday, probing into what had driven a deeper wedge between them.
‘Karl, I really didn’t want to talk about this on national TV… I was mortified this morning,’ Effie began.
‘Basically Trevor I would like you to move that thing you call a car out of my car space,’ Effie declared, eliciting shocked reactions from her colleagues.
The unexpected confrontation left co-host Sarah Abo stunned: ‘That took a turn, I wasn’t expecting that, Karlos,’ she remarked.
Effie continued: ‘I’m away for only three days and I drive in this morning to the Channel Nine carpark and there is Trevor’s car.’
The saga took another turn on Friday when Trevor Long posted a video on Instagram in response.

‘Sorry, what’s this Effie?’ he said, pointing to the sign.
‘Effie it’s totally fine, you can park here next week all week, I’m gonna be in Paris so all yours,’ he boasted.
He didn’t stop there, adding, ‘Also, that thing I call a car is fully electric. So, actually, financially, it’s a very good decision because it saves money on running costs year on year. A little advice for you – go electric.’
