This week on Unlikely Friends, what starts as a chat about the world’s best beaches quickly turns into one of the wildest stories yet… involving a trip to Mexico, Richard Branson, and an unexpected moment on an airplane wing that Leigh definitely wasn’t prepared for.

Elsewhere, we hear an incredible behind-the-scenes story from the Spice Girls reunion - including what it was really like being eight months pregnant during the photoshoot, and then heading straight out on tour.

The gang also dive into a listener dilemma about a husband who might be spending a bit too much time on video games - is it harmless downtime or a relationship red flag?

And finally, things take a bizarre turn into the world of children’s books… why are they so weird? Does the wolf really eat the grandma? And what’s it like writing your own? Leigh shares his experience as an author, alongside everyone’s stories of reading (and questioning) these classics with their kids.
