Big John’s MRI results are finally in… but what exactly did the scan reveal? And why did Liesl react the way she did when she saw it?
Meanwhile, Liesl’s latest bit of chaos ends with her begging the school to send a message to every parent. But was it actually her fault… or can she wriggle out of this one?
Plus, why James can’t walk properly. Entirely self-inflicted. Entirely ridiculous.
And we surprise Liesl on the show with someone she hasn’t spoken to in years for her birthday… and it is hilarious!

Your weekly catch-up with Big John, Liesl and James off the radio...
Big John -
So last summer… The job stopped. After 25 years. Just like that. Everything stopped. Routine… gone. Show… gone. And for a bit… I just stood still. Then we brought the show back. On smart speaker and as a podcast! But deep down, I knew something else needed to change, Because if I didn’t, it never would. A much bigger change for me. But am I making the right decision ?
Also on the show:
James has DELIGHTED his wife – by saying just one word. What’s the word? It leads to us inventing a thing called ‘Wife Hacks’
Liesl has posed the BIG QUESTION. And we end up talking about her funeral!
Coffee Girl - Friday Song - Gospel of Good Vibes!

Do you believe in karma? 👀Because I’m pretty sure it’s just caught up with me…
Ten years… and it’s finally come back to bite. 😬
If you ever heard me on the breakfast show giving Liesl a hard time…Taking the mick, winding her up, a touch of mansplaining here and there… I couldn’t help myself. Yeah. That was me. For a full decade.
Well now… she’s having her revenge. 😈
On this week’s podcast, you’ll hear exactly how she’s set me up.She says it’s for my own good. And annoyingly… she might be right.This could actually change my life.
😳 Also this week…
Who is the worst person you could accidentally send nude photos to?Try a school headmistress… 😳
And yes… someone actually did that.Someone local.Someone we know.
Yep. Liesl. 🤦♂️
She’d never even met the head before…Then suddenly she’s messaging her back!!!And they had to meet the very next day.
Possibly the most chaotic mum fail ever. 😂
😤 And when dads lose the plot…
Someone has been tampering with James’s trainers.
So what does he do?
Launches a full-blown investigation. 🔍Questions the entire family.Even checks the doorbell camera footage for evidence.
No one is safe. 🕵️♂️
