Born to Ride… and Bucked to the Shithouse | Proper True Yarn w/ Trev
Trev’s back with a chaos-filled yarn straight out of the yards. What starts as a simple horse-riding chat turns into a full-blown rodeo of bucking young colts, show-dogs that can’t handle cattle, and a saddle that ends up between his legs.From being mistaken for a born-and-bred horseman to getting launched sky-high off a green horse while everyone else tries to revive a “super-trained” cattle dog, this one’s pure rural madness.Horses, dogs, cattle, dust, and a bloke who reckons he’s “no Bubba Tilley” — but still ends up in the thick of it.Proper. True. Yarn.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don’t Call Trev for Your Shed Slab
Knuckles sits down with Trev for the yarn that finally ended his concreting career — a 49-degree Longreach slab, a useless operator, and a boot full of wet concrete. Trev recounts the job from hell: taped-up work boots, concrete arriving at 1pm in scorching heat, falling through mesh, and a “dehydrated” coworker rehydrating with Canadian Club. Proper chaos, proper laughs, proper true yarn.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Silly Saturday #1: Shit Pants, Tinder Stepkids & Bush Medicine
Knuckles and Zak launch Silly Saturday – a new Proper True Yarn spin-off where they dive blind into the wildest listener call-ins from a “lost” folder full of filthy, unfiltered chaos.This first Silly Saturday’s got it all: a Tinder date ambush by surprise kids, a Kiwi truckie with 30 roadside emergency bogs and a full-noise pants blowout, food-poisoning horror yarns (including Zak spewing and shitting himself after dodgy sushi), trusting a fart in Thailand, and a car getting absolutely sent until the tyres and motor give up.There’s even a rogue detour into bush “cures” and backyard medical theories – strictly yarns, not health advice – plus a bit of love for Chevs, hate for Rams, and a shoutout to the Sharp Motor Group. Raw, loose and completely un-pre-listened… welcome to Silly Saturday.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trev Vs Gravity - The Day the Postmaster Fell
Knuckles is back with Charleville’s finest, Trev 966, and this time the big banger yarns take a detour into posties, planks and pure fear of heights.It starts light – Knuckles giving a shoutout to his gun postie Jeffro getting CTC hats overnight – then Trev drops a proper true yarn about the local postal manager Tom, a paint job, and a fall straight out of Cliffhanger.At 14, Trev’s up on trestles helping Tom paint his house when something goes horribly wrong. One second they’re cutting in around the windows, the next Tom brushes past Trev, falls from the plank, and locks eyes with him mid-air on the way to the ground. Broken ribs, an ambulance ride, and the sound of that “oof” has stuck with Trev ever since.Asked to go back and finish the job, he climbs onto the same plank, feels it rock, climbs straight back down and quits on the spot:“You can tell Tom to paint his own fucking house. I’ve quit.”From there it’s a lifetime of being no good with heights:Boys on site stirring him up because he’s “terrible on roofs”Walking sheets on a high roof in Mackay, promising if he falls, someone’s coming with himAss cheeks “like suction caps on the roof” if he slipsJust when he thinks he’s getting better, he’s back on a school job walking trusses along a fully extended plank. The boys grab the truss out of his hands and Trev suddenly realises he’s got nothing to hang onto. Frozen in the middle of the gap, he watches a mate fall off the top plate and break his neck on the ground below. That’s it. Line in the sand.By the end of it, Trev’s made peace with his fate:“This is me. I’m a concreter now. I’ll just stick to the ground stuff.”It’s a dark, funny, very real look at how one bad moment can turn a 14-year-old Charleville kid into a lifelong ground-dweller – even if he still climbs into the big bangers for a living.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.
