    Fugitives, Fuel Cuts, & Dungeons

    30/03/2026 | 2h 10 mins.
    EP94. We kick things off with major breaking news: fugitive and sovereign citizen Desi Freeman has been shot dead by police after seven months on the run. As the national fuel crisis hits a boiling point, we also break down Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's emergency response, including a temporary 26.3-cent cut to the fuel excise and relief for our transport sector.

    Here is what we have lined up for you this episode:
    The Fuel Crisis & Olympic Dreams: The Nationals' David Littleproud joins the show to unpack exactly how Australia lost its sovereign refining capability and the devastating impact it's having on family trucking companies. Plus, Luke hits him with a curveball 180 question: Should Surf Lifesaving become an official sport at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics?

    Unpeeling "The Onion": We welcome back the fascinating Kerrin Hofstrand to uncover another unbelievable chapter of her life. This episode, she details her time working as a professional dominatrix in Sydney. From the universal safe word to serving high-powered clients like judges, politicians, and police officers, Corinne offers an eye-opening look into the psychology of the BDSM industry. (Listener discretion is advised—this chat is definitely not for the kids!)

    Truckie Tuesday with Rocket Rod: We jump into the cabin with Rod Hannifey to tackle the realities of the diesel shortage out on the road, where distributors are holding fuel for contracts while independent truckies and farmers are left stranded. To cap it off, Rod delivers a classic rant on the absolute menace of automatic high beams, massive light bars, and fog lights blinding oncoming traffic.

    Settle in, hit play on the video, and let us know what you think of this week's madness!

    Truckie Tuesday: Bells Line Blowouts, Caravan Chaos, & The “Death Book” Debate

    28/03/2026 | 1h
    This segment originally aired in our full Bonafide episode on 18 March 2026.

    Rod Hannifey checks in from Dubbo as he prepares for a massive road train run to Perth, just as the closure of the Great Western Highway threatens to send freight traffic into chaos via the Bells Line of Road. The boys unpack the real-world fallout of detours, rising fuel costs, and why Australia’s reliance on diesel is bigger than most people realise.
    There’s also plenty of listener feedback — including frustration around fatigue rules and logbooks, a wild run of caravan stories (from flapping doors to near misses), and a deeper look at the growing skills shortage facing the trucking and mechanical trades. Plus, Rod explains why delays at loading docks can cost drivers days of pay, and just how quickly panic buying can turn a fuel scare into a full-blown problem.

    Man Cave: The Coffin Confessors Wildest Deliveries (Aired 13 Mar 26)

    25/03/2026 | 54 mins.
    This segment originally aired in our full Bonafide episode on 13 March 2026.

    In this Man Cave special, Bill Edgar returns with some of his wildest stories yet — from delivering coffin confessions that exposed secret affairs to the bizarre job that involved handing over a very awkward engraved “gift” after death. He also reveals how he went undercover as a dish hand to uncover theft inside major hotels, and shares the emotional side of delivering final messages from loved ones — including one father still playing chess with his late son every Sunday.
    The boys also dive into Australia’s gambling problem, the mindset behind addiction, and why one bad decision can unravel an entire life. Classic Man Cave territory — shocking, funny, confronting, and completely unpredictable.

    Burned, Beaten & Still Fighting: Adam Shand on The Man Who Could Walk Free (Aired 13 March)

    24/03/2026 | 31 mins.
    Adam Shand returns to Bonafide to discuss the horrific attack on Lauren Huxley — a teenager beaten with fibrocutters, doused in petrol and left to burn in her own home, who somehow survived against all odds. Adam shares what he learned after speaking directly with Lauren and her sister, including her long recovery, the trauma still carried by the family, and the growing fear that her attacker — who has shown no remorse or rehabilitation — could soon be eligible for parole. It’s a confronting conversation about survival, justice, and whether the system truly protects victims and their families.
