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. 🕵️‍♂️
