There have been calls for the Noosa councillor's resignation, with the Mayor of Noosa, Tony Wellington, telling Nova FM's Fitzy and Wippa that he recommended his resignation.
"It was a rather extreme example of Cr Glasgow's behaviour and it's most disappointing to me and to many other people across Noosa and I'm sure across the country," Mayor Wellington said.
"That sort of misogynistic, crude, offensive behaviour is just not on.
"He certainly wasn't acting on behalf of Noosa council on the show, but he did reference his role on Noosa council which he shouldn't have done, and made in fact some play of the fact he was a politician on the Noosa council."
While Jess's position as an elected representative means he can't be fired, Wellington has encouraged him to resign.
"I'll be speaking with Jess about his future on the council. I don't see that he has a future on our council.
"I did speak to him this morning and I told him that my recommendation to him was that he resign from his position as councillor on the Noosa Council.
"He is under the belief that he can brave it out, shall we say... he thinks that it's not as dramatic as some of the reactions I've been receiving."

The reality TV star told Fitzy and Wippa that he was deeply sorry for his actions, describing them as "despicable" and a "mistake."
"I'm naturally a little bit of a flirtatious guy [but] I'm truly sorry. Angie deserves a hell of a lot better than that, every woman does," he said.
Speaking onThe Kyle and Jackie O Show, the politician broke down as he revealed how his career had been destroyed in just 48 hours.
"I'm actually shaking. I'm totally not happy at myself and I do not applaud any of [my] actions," he confessed.
"It was not my intention to bring the Noosa Council or Noosa people into disrepute. I had the opportunity to find love on this show and I went for it."
