Big John’s officially been called out - his daughter has hit the age where every tiny thing he does drives her mad, and she’s not shy about listing them. There’s a funeral on the show.

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 'Throwback Thursday': Double Hallamster:  First - his exciting advent calendar and then when he came face to face with Ricky Gervais.  Ricky Gervais also talks about upsetting people with his jokes and his expanding waistline! There’s the time Liesl had strict work’s Xmas Party Plans – to stay sober! 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.

Coffee Girl is on. We talk posters and cooked breakfasts and we salute the Faithful. How much was a NOKIA 3310 back in the day? – It’s ‘Mum's Catalogue Game’. Something IS missing though.

Big John, Liesl and James back with another "Fridays"! This week: Hallamster back (after a 6 week stretch) Liesl’s had a random man in her house. Now he hasn’t stopped messaging her! Is it normal?

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!
