If you heard our full episode on 30 October, you've already heard this. This is Andrew's heart attack story on its own, for anyone who just wants that. ABC Sport caller Andrew Moore tells Luke how his heart attack crept up on him in August 2025: a game called sitting down, days with no energy, then a build-up of pressure that he says wasn't the pain he expected. He talks about the ambulance to Westmead Hospital, the paddles, the nurse who told him "I've got you", and being told his chances had been less than 20%. Then the night he called John Aloisi's penalty in 2005, and why he says Pacific Islander players' names the way their families do. Recorded on 26 October 2026. Guests: Andrew Moore This episode describes a heart attack, cardiac arrest and resuscitation.

If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. Every bay's full and your short rest break is due. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law explains the defence for when there's no suitable rest place: you can drive up to 45 more minutes to the next one, but only for a short rest break, and she says to note why in your diary. She also covers whether police can get into your whole phone, what counts as work, and whether an officer can wake you on your 7-hour break. Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday. Rod Hannifey has his say on being woken in a rest area, says the Cunninghams Gap upgrade has left one lane at the top, and reads your comments on autos versus manuals. Tony Crooke from GME talks handheld UHFs at a breakdown, Active Mute, and 40 versus 80-channel radios, then takes Rod on in a truckie radio slang quiz.

It's Melbourne Cup Day, RBA day and episode 150. Entertainment reporter Shane Adam Bassett pays tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart, runs through who's in the running to be the next James Bond, and picks what to watch, from The Invite to Pressure. Kelsey thinks the next Bond should be a woman. Luke says Ian Fleming wrote Bond as a man, and that settles it. Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool unpacks the Villa Vie Odyssey, the cruise ship laid up in Cambodia with its residents told to get off, and what counterparty risk means for any deal you sign. On Truckie Tuesday, Belinda Hughes answers whether anyone can wake you on your 7-hour break, Rod Hannifey reports from Cunninghams Gap, and Tony Crooke from GME takes on the truckie slang quiz. Plus Queensland's bail law, robot milkers in Tasmania and your mail. Guests: Shane Adam Bassett, Scott Phillips, Belinda Hughes, Rod Hannifey, Tony Crooke This episode contains coarse language.

Fire ants have turned up at a freight terminal in Sydney, and former agriculture minister David Littleproud says if they get into your backyard, you won't be using it. He explains how containers are checked, why travellers caught smuggling food have lost their visas, and what it's like to live with threats against your family. It isn't easy. Ben Downie crosses from Tel Aviv as Israel's votes are counted. ABC caller Andrew Moore tells Luke about calling John Aloisi's penalty in 2005 and the heart attack he survived after being given less than a 20% chance.

If you heard our full episode on 27 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Terry Barnes on its own, for anyone who just wants Terry. Victoria votes on 28 November. A Spectator contributor, and by his own account on air a former Liberal ministerial adviser, Terry tells Luke why he thinks Labor is losing rather than the Coalition winning, and why he calls it the pothole election. He says the result will show whether One Nation is still growing, and that One Nation has a list of what it would do but hasn't costed it. Plus Ben Carroll's hospital pass, the Suburban Rail Loop and the tobacco shop fires, and why Sydney and Melbourne have never quite understood each other. Recorded on 19 October 2026.

Can an officer take your phone if your electronic work diary is on it? Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law says strictly speaking they can, but only in specific circumstances. Then it's false or misleading entries, what to say when you're pulled over, and Darren Cooke's appeal to get his licence back. Belinda is acting for Darren, and Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday. On the road, a driver went to pass a heavy haulage float on the approach to a blind corner, and Rod called him up on the UHF afterwards for a quiet word.

If you heard our full episode on 9 October, you have already had this one. This is the Man Cave with Dr Graham Wild on its own, for anyone who just wants the space talk. Adam McDonald from Aussie Pickers still isn't convinced we went to the Moon, and the Van Allen radiation belts are his sticking point. So Luke brings in Dr Graham Wild, a senior lecturer in aviation science and technology at UNSW Canberra, to take him on. Graham explains why NASA lost so much of its Apollo know-how, why nobody has landed there since 1972, and how a camera filmed Neil Armstrong's first step. Before that, he busts a Hollywood myth: a small hole in a plane won't suck you out. Plus air marshals, the Jetsons flying car we never got, and the G.I. Joe jet from Graham's childhood.

If you heard our full episode on 9 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Jim Penman on its own, for anyone who just wants Jim. When nobody would back his ideas as an academic, Jim went back to mowing lawns full-time, about $35,000 in debt, he says, and by his own account terrible at managing his first subcontractors. He tells Luke how he turned it around, from selling lawn rounds to ringing the big Adelaide franchise and being told no thanks, and why he drew up a contract he wouldn't mind signing as a franchisee. Jim also explains the $700 contract fee he could have set far higher, why the business was his way of paying for his research into why civilisations rise and fall, and the argument in his new book with Andrea Pearson, Birth-Rate Crisis. Plus pass the parcel, cold showers, and why he doesn't expect to win Northcote at the Victorian election.

If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. A driver tells Rod Hannifey he was refused a shower at a truck stop because he hadn't bought fuel, even after offering to buy food. Rod knows of only one truck stop with showers on his run to Adelaide, and he found a key-tag block he couldn't use because he doesn't cart livestock. Luke and Rod work through your mail, from radiator fixes with a raw egg or pepper to why caravans on the Nullarbor should leave gaps and show their UHF channel front and back. There's also a question for next week about EWD phones in compliance mode. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law updates Danny's case, and her win of the week is an appeal she says cut a Transport for NSW registration suspension after a tunnel incident.

If you heard our full episode on 2 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Nick on its own, for anyone who just wants the prison stories. Nick was a NSW prison officer for 15 years, at Lithgow and at the women's jail at Emu Plains. In B unit, he watched an inmate crack the perspex with a pool ball, and he tells Luke why he says three months of training was mostly about paperwork. He explains why officers walk the yard unarmed and why he says they couldn't properly search visitors' prams. Then there's the inmate who threatened his family. Nick's view is that most prisoners don't want to be rehabilitated. The ones who do, like the woman who left jail a qualified chef, get there because they want the help, he says. This interview contains strong language. It discusses sexual assault in prison, domestic violence and the death of a prison officer. 1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732 (24/7) Lifeline: 13 11 14 (24/7) In an emergency, call 000. 00:00 Should prisoners get a second chance? 01:46 Why the inmates called Nick Chief 02:45 Why he swapped his own business for a prison job 04:45 Trapped in B unit when the perspex cracked 07:14 Three months of training, signed off on paper 08:02 The officer who died at Silverwater 09:00 Double shifts and big overtime 10:31 His sister, assaulted at Parramatta Gaol 11:06 Unarmed in a yard of 30 inmates 13:40 Why officers couldn't search prams 14:48 Who really controls a jail? 16:22 Case management with no training 17:45 The inmates who care for injured wildlife 18:53 Should prisoners be paid $25 an hour? 19:30 The kiss that smuggled drugs into Lithgow 21:35 Corrupt officers: blue, not green 22:22 Why lifers are the easiest to manage 23:53 Why he'd rather work with maximum security men 25:10 What men fear most about going to jail 26:26 The inmate who walked out a chef 28:12 Knives in the kitchen and a Shawshank moment 29:55 Why are Indigenous Australians over-represented? 32:21 Do prisoners want to be rehabilitated? 34:08 The inmate who threatened his family 36:32 Seen as weak, or called a dog 38:30 The prisoners who come back for the security 40:16 Should prisoners have to work? 41:29 Get out of the job or I'm divorcing you 🫶 Join The Bonafide Family Get Your Bonafide Merch here: https://bonafidepod.com/en-aud Follow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LukeBonaThatRadioGuy/ Catch Up On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukey.bona/ Subscribe to us on YouTube to stay updated with LIVE SHOWS: 🎙️ Get Involved Leave us a digital voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/Bonafide Call the Bonafide Hotline to leave a voicemail: (02) 9128 9311 Want to be a guest or suggest a topic?

Our first live show. Nick, a former NSW prison officer, comes back for part two and takes Luke through a first-timer's day in prison, from the strip search to the cellmate you don't get to choose. He also explains how new inmates get pushed into carrying contraband for someone else, and how they can say no. Rob McKnight from McKnight Tonight reviews the calls he made in September about Nine's Today show and The Voice, and talks about 4BH's rise in Brisbane and Sam Armytage's run-in with Michael Usher's son. David Littleproud, in a chat recorded before the show, takes on the card surcharge ban and the trust tax, and says drivers who don't own an EV shouldn't help pay for new chargers. In the Man Cave, Adam McDonald turns 50 and Granny Sue calls from Yorkeys Knob to back a seventh state for North Queensland. They also argue about a Tasmanian school taking Christmas out of the name of its end-of-year raffle, and whether an Australian astronaut is worth $100 million. Guests: Rob McKnight, David Littleproud, Nick, Adam McDonald, Granny Sue Recorded live on Thursday 15 October 2026. This episode contains strong language and adult themes.
