Then "Fingers the Firebug" tells the incredible story of surviving an 11,000-volt electric shock while working on a roof. After multiple surgeries, skin grafts, months in hospital and even being placed into a coma, he somehow cheated death and lived to tell the tale.

Recorded live at AlphaFest, this episode delivers some of the wildest yarns from the crowd and from Proper True Yarn regular, Tiny. First up, Casey recounts the time she accidentally found herself behind the wheel of a massive tractor at a country pub near Roma. What started as trying to impress a few old cowboys quickly turned into sprinklers exploding, sheep running through the car park, and enough muddy water to irrigate half the town. Then fan favourite Tiny steps up with two absolute belters. He tells the story of "Fuckface Damo", the bloke who survived bull riding, facial reconstruction and hearing aids, only to have his martial arts career ended in one disastrous fight. But the chaos doesn't stop there. Tiny also relives the unbelievable Fraser Island rescue mission where a cooked 80 Series LandCruiser somehow became airborne at Ngkala Rocks and miraculously drove for another two years. From country pub disasters and cowboy culture to flying LandCruisers and blokes who refuse to quit, this AlphaFest live recording is packed with classic Aussie humour and outrageous true stories. Based on the AlphaFest live recording transcript.

Recorded live at AlphaFest, this episode delivers a mix of heartwarming, hilarious and downright unbelievable yarns. First, district nurse Sam shares the story of a dementia patient who left her questioning who was actually confused. She then dives into some of the wildest things she's witnessed on the job, from awkward home visits to a bathroom situation that can never be unseen. Sam also opens up about her own mental health journey, recovery, and the support that helped her get back on track. Then Alpha Blokes legend Two Metre Peter steps up with an all-time pub yarn. After a big night on the beers, a run-in with a security guard escalates into one of the most unexpected weapons ever used in self-defenc, a fully loaded kebab. What follows is a story so ridiculous it sounds completely made up. A classic AlphaFest live recording packed with laughs, chaos, resilience, mental health awareness, and legendary Aussie storytelling.

First up, Dylan shares the Christmas Day adventure that started with a quiet drink after the kids left and somehow escalated into a spontaneous foursome he never saw coming.

From wild Christmas chaos and questionable life decisions to medical mysteries that sound too crazy to be true, this AlphaFest live recording is packed with laughs, shock moments, and classic Aussie storytelling. Featuring Alpha Blokes community members, unexpected twists, and the kind of yarns that only happen when microphones are rolling at AlphaFest.
