Big John At Breakfast - Fridays!

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?

Season Two of Big John At Breakfast Fridays  

Big John At Breakfast - FRIDAYS - SEASON TWO IS COMING! Friday February 20th. This is a taster of what to expect. (I mean, it's just the same old toxic word-salad of time-wasting.  But slightly longer.) Actually, it's really good.     Support the podcast AND get a shout for you or a mate on the Friday Song: https://bigjohnatbreakfast.co.uk Join the FREE VIP Email gang:  https://big-john-at-breakfast.sender.site Follow us on Facebook for updates everyday: https://www.facebook.com/BigJohnAtBreakfastFridays Got a smart speaker?

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. Another chance to hear The truth behind what really happened at Hallam FM. The Questions and Answers special podcast.

The time Big John felt he’d let the neighbours down at Christmas James had been Overthinking Xmas TV Adverts and had the solution. And then listener Lucy’s Christmas present Epic Fail! It was her mum opening a present from her new partmer, that she shouldn’t open in front of the kids.  Or anyone! 10/10.

Sometimes the best way to move forward is to take a little step back. Throwback Thursday is where we dig into the highlights — those brilliant moments, the callers we still talk about, the guests who made us howl, and the stories that just won’t die. (Or maybe it's the first thing we found in the archive) On this week’s 'Bonus Throwback Thursday': Peter Kay called us from his car – he had just had an epic fail!   It was actually the lead up to Christmas and you won’t believe what he also had in his car! The time I had an old friend contact me out of the blue, bit it turned out they had a hidden agenda. We go back to when we were just coming out of lockdown and Liesl’s youngest was about to start school and the new teacher came to visit them at home! James had been overthinking drive-throughs. One of our listeners was accused of being a TERRORIST – it’s an epic fail!
