Ever felt caught in between—not where you were, but not yet where you’re going? This week on Need Knowledge No Time (NKNT), Jesse and Becky unpack what psychologists call “liminal phases”—those strange transitions where creativity, learning, and self-discovery actually thrive.

But we’re not just deep—there’s chaos too. The crew dives into the NRL Grand Final madness, the record-breaking Broncos vs. Storm showdown, and why Queenslanders are still recovering from victory shock.

Then things get futuristic: OpenAI’s Sora 2.0 is here—alongside a brand-new AI TikTok-style app that lets users insert themselves into any video using just a prompt. Is this the end of creativity… or the start of something insane?

Plus:

• 🦋 Butterflies can’t fly below 28°C

• 🦎 Lizards that shoot blood from their eyes

• 🧠 Your brain can’t actually feel pain (yep, for real)

• 🎶 “Sifted” artist spotlight: Capes — award-winning Indigenous talent from Western Australia with the track Come My Way

Tune in for your weekly hit of weird facts, real talk, and AI chaos, all wrapped up in Aussie banter that hits harder than a Broncos tackle.
