This episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast goes places no one expects and somehow ends up delivering one of the most important health messages you’ll hear all year.
What starts as a loose laugh turns into an unforgettable yarn when The Baron tells the full story of discovering a very swollen left nut. From bleach baths and bathroom mirrors to real estate being taken up where it shouldn’t be, Nathan walks through the moment he realised something wasn’t right.
The conversation breaks down what a hydrocele actually is, how quickly your mind jumps to the worst-case scenario, and why so many men ignore symptoms instead of getting checked. Nathan shares the doctor visits, scans, specialists, and the sheer relief of reading the words “the testicle looks fantastic” in a medical report.
Between the jokes, metaphors, and absolutely cooked analogies, there’s a serious message that cuts through clearly. If something feels off, get it checked. Don’t ignore it. Don’t assume the worst. Don’t accept the first answer if it doesn’t sit right. Push for clarity and look after yourself.
The episode also ties into the broader message around men’s health, second opinions, and why early action matters more than pride or embarrassment. It’s crude, funny, uncomfortable at times, and genuinely important.
If you like raw Australian podcasts, unfiltered humour, and real conversations that actually say something useful, this episode delivers all of it in one completely unhinged package.
Laugh hard. Cringe a bit.
And seriously, get yourself checked.

This is one of the most raw and important episodes of the Proper True Yarn Podcast to date.
In a conversation that strips everything back, The Baron opens up about life behind the laughs, sharing the deeply personal story of his daughter Evie and the reality of raising a child with complex medical needs.
Nathan speaks honestly about Evie’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy, her being nonverbal, and the shock of later discovering she also has type 1 diabetes. He walks through the early warning signs, the endless crying as a newborn, missed developmental milestones, hospital visits, and the moment everything changed when her pancreas shut down.
The episode captures the helplessness of not being able to communicate with your child when something is wrong, the fear that comes with managing a life-threatening condition, and the emotional weight carried quietly by parents who still have to show up every day. Nathan also explains how modern medical technology has helped them manage Evie’s condition, while still acknowledging how fragile and overwhelming it can feel.
Alongside the pain, there’s perspective. Nathan talks about resilience, gratitude, and the mindset that keeps him moving forward, even when things feel unbearable. It’s a powerful reminder that the loudest people often carry the heaviest loads, and that everyone you meet is fighting something you can’t see.
This episode isn’t about jokes, viral clips, or internet personas. It’s about parenthood, vulnerability, love, and surviving situations you never imagined facing.
If you’re a parent, a carer, or someone who needs to hear that they’re not alone, this episode will hit hard in the best possible way.
Raw. Honest. Human.
A proper true yarn that matters.

In this relaxed and unexpectedly personal episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, we sit down with The Baron for a yarn that moves from family life to food debates and everything in between.
Nathan opens up about life away from the internet persona, talking honestly about his wife, his kids, and what it’s like raising a family in Tasmania. While most people know him for loud laughs and viral videos, this episode shows the grounded side that doesn’t always make it onto social media.
Naturally, the conversation drifts into food, and it turns into an all-time Australian debate. Sausage rolls, bakeries, servos, and what actually makes a good one. Moistness is discussed at length. So is why lamb is officially off the menu for The Baron after too many years of mining camp meals in Western Australia.
From there, things spiral into peanut butter. Crunchy vs smooth. Aussie-made vs imported. Loaded peanut butter flavours that probably shouldn’t exist but absolutely do. Nathan breaks down how his love for peanut butter turned into a collaboration, how a small Australian brand caught his eye before it even launched properly, and why good products still beat good marketing.
It’s a loose, funny, and very Australian conversation covering family, food, business, Tasmania life, and the kind of arguments that only happen between mates sitting around a table.
If you’re into Australian podcasts, Tassie yarns, food debates, internet creators, or unfiltered conversations that go absolutely anywhere, this episode is a ripper.
Easy listening, plenty of laughs, and a proper true yarn the whole way through.

This week’s Silly Saturday is basically a full-blown Moxey special, with Knuckles and Zak diving headfirst into some of the wildest ambo yarns you’ll ever hear.

From one of the all-time great warnings about why anything heading up there needs a stopper, to a caravan park root gone completely sideways, Moxey unloads story after story from the ambulance frontline that are equal parts horrifying and hilarious.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
A bloke who made a shocking decision and paid dearly for it, a shower incident that ended in a full medical emergency, a ridiculous sex-toy disaster solved in the most old-school way possible, a baked Greek grandma convinced she’d been poisoned, and Moxey’s brutally honest thoughts on childbirth after years on the job.

It’s loose, crook, chaotic, and one of those episodes that just keeps getting worse in the best possible way. Massive shoutout to the ambos who deal with humanity at its weirdest and still front up every day.

A filthy, funny, full-tilt Silly Saturday that proves the ambos have truly seen it all.
