It could be a life or death situation – And James has been over thinking it all. Liesl Chaos at the spa…  The steam room was where it all properly kicked off! But she maintains it’s all the retired accountant’s fault And I’ve got an idea for a film.  It’s kind of ‘Stranger Things’ meets ‘Back To The Future’ meets ‘YOUR childhood’.

James has been over thinking again.  This time he is calling out something that is happening on YOUR road right now.  He’s identified it.   But do you agree with him? Liesl keeps being asked a very dark question by her son.  Just what is he planning?! And how would you respond?

    Fridays - 056 - Scan results. Pleading with school. And a massive surprise.

    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!

    Big John At Breakfast - Fridays - EXTRA

    Season 2 of Big John at Breakfast Friday is coming on Friday 20th February. Now, let’s be clear. It won’t be a sensible reboot. It will not be stripped back. It will not suddenly become classy. Some of the same old rubbish will absolutely still be there. Updates and catch-ups from Liesl, James and myself. Coffee Girl will return. People not having affairs, and the Gospel Friday song will return. Obviously. But season two is going bigger. Louder. Longer. Even More Friday. Whatever that actually means. We are throwing everything at it. Expect a much longer show. Expect Mum’s Catalogue Game. Expect emails from our listener in a thing called Honesty 26. Expect throwback epic fail calls that probably should never be heard again but will be anyway. Basically, if it’s ever caused chaos, laughter or mild concern, it’s probably in there. It all starts on February 20th. You are officially invited. Please spread the word. Make sure you are following in your podcast app. Post it on your socials. Shout it into the void. Now, today, while we’re not here, we decided to put out one of our best ever shows. There was a huge debate about which one it should be. Which episode deserved a second outing? And then we realised we haven’t actually listened back to any of them, so this is, if I’m honest, a fairly random choice. That said, it has had our biggest ever downloads.
