It appears popular radio star Mark ‘MG’ Geyer was blissfully unaware his days at Triple M were numbered – at least according to this party photo.
The Sydney breakfast show co-host was sensationally given the boot on Wednesday.
But just two days before he was informed of the bad news, Geyer, 56, was partying at a Sydney pub with his co-stars.
The Triple M Breakfast Instagram account shared a photo on Tuesday showing Geyer enjoying a drink with co-stars Mick Molloy, Natarsha Belling, and Cat Lynch at the Burdekin Hotel in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst.
The foursome appeared in good spirits, smiling for the camera as they held celebratory cocktails.
Geyer in particular looked as though he was ready for a good time, beaming as he posed with his after-work cocktail, wearing sunglasses indoors.

The Triple M Sydney breakfast show co-host was sensationally given the boot on Wednesday, according to the Daily Telegraph
He wore a form-fitting black short sleeve shirt that was unbuttoned to expose his chest as well as a pair of black sunglasses.
His celebratory aura suggests that Geyer had no idea of his impending fate despite the recent announcement that Molloy would be moving from Sydney back to his native Melbourne in 2025.
‘Monday morning knock-off drinks, 2.0,’ the photo was captioned.
The former footy star was sensationally let go by Triple M this week.
The NSW State of Origin legend and breakfast show co-host was reportedly given the bad news by his ‘Melbourne boss’ who travelled to Sydney to deliver it in person.
Geyer was missing from Wednesday’s show and his co-hosts Mick Molloy, Cat Lynch and Natarsha Belling made no mention of his absence.
Southern Cross Austereo announced two weeks ago that Molloy would be returning to Melbourne to host that city’s breakfast show in 2025.
However plans for Geyer had not been announced by the network which has been undergoing quite the shake-up of late.

He joined Triple M’s breakfast show in Sydney in 2022 alongside Lawrence Mooney, Jess Eva and Chris Page.

Popular Triple M star announces shock exit from national radio show after network shakeup
Earlier this month, Triple M saw a massive shakeup at the network with Marty Sheargold stepping into a new role after vacating the breakfast slot in July.
Sheargold, 53, will extend his national Marty Sheargold Show into the drive shift in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Currently, the show airs nationally from Monday to Friday, 3pm to 4pm.
Listeners in these regions will now enjoy an additional two hours of the popular comedian’s show from 4pm to 6pm.
‘I’m looking forward to returning to the Drive shift for NSW and Queensland listeners in 2025 and giving them the extended version of the show,’ Sheargold said in a statement.
‘The commute home is a time to unwind and finish the day with a chat and a laugh, and that’s exactly what I will be aiming to deliver.’
Sheargold’s shift into drive means a raft local shows will be axed in 2025.

The Rush Hour, featuring Leisel Jones, Liam Flanagan, and Ben Dobbin, which airs in Queensland, will not be returning next year.
Similarly, NSW’s Rush Hour with Gus Worland and Jude Bolton will also be discontinued.
The Adelaide and Perth Rush Hour teams will not be returning in 2025 either.
The Rush Hour team, consisting of James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless, who are currently heard in Melbourne and Tasmania, will now also be broadcast in South and Western , as well as on some Triple M regional stations in the southern states.
Liesel Jones took to Instagram to share the news with her fans, posting a photo of the on-air trio.
‘Well it was fun while it lasted,’ she wrote.
‘Sad news today that @triplem_rushhour with Leisel Jones, Liam and Dobbo won’t go ahead in 2025.
‘I’ve learnt a lot working this job and I’ve enjoyed the laughs,’ the post continued.
‘Our intention with this show was to always lift your drive home no matter what kind of day you’ve had.
‘I hope we were able to bring a smile or laugh to your arvo. We’ll see you round like a rissole. Until next time.’
Sheargold added that he was committed to carrying on the local teams’ legacies.
‘I also wanted to thank the teams from the Sydney, Brisbane/Gold Coast and Queensland,’ he said.
‘[They are] shows who have all had amazing stints and been hugely entertaining. I’m committed to carrying on their legacies.’
The Rush Hour team of Brayshaw and Brownless, who are currently heard in Melbourne and Tasmania, will now also air in South and Western and across some Triple M regional stations in the southern states.
