Tim Ross has opened up about the split with his former radio partner Merrick Watts dismissing any talk of a 'feud'.
The pair known as 'Merrick and Rosso' rose to fame as a comedic duo on Triple J, and later Nova, and Triple M.
But the team shocked listeners when they parted ways in 2009 after over a decade together.
Speaking on the Mumbrella podcast on Friday, Tim described Merrick as a 'brother' and said the former partners share a 'bond'.
'Merrick and I, the way I describe it, we're like brothers, you know? No one else understands what happened at that time,' he said.

He said that the pair share 'beautiful in-jokes that no one else gets' like a 'secret language.
'We always share stories about when people come up and tell us about something,' he continued, adding: 'What really unites us in our friendship is that shared history. We're really, really lucky to have that bond.'
It comes after Watts spoke about the pair's split, which he described as 'brutal' earlier this month.

'Rosso and I fractured, we split up at the end of 2009. It was brutal, it was tough. It's not really something I talk about a lot…but it was really devastating at the time,' he told SAS Australia host Ant Middleton on his podcast Head Game on Tuesday.
'I was focused on wanting to follow a certain trajectory that I felt innately was the right way to go and that was probably in conflict to the way we were doing things and the way we were working together.'
The comedian said he felt the collaboration between himself and his partner had run its course at the time.

'I think we just exhausted ourselves as a unit and we'd done everything, we'd even lived together, and then I got my own family and got different priorities,' he claimed.
Ant suggested that Watts' change in priorities was likely due to the arrival of his first son, Wolfe, in 2009.
'I kind of wanted to forge my own identity…which I thought would be a lot easier than what it was,' Watts added.
The podcast interview wasn't the first time Watts encountered Ant, as the pair first met on SAS Australia in 2020.
