Proper True Yarn

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.

In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, we sit down with Australian internet favourite The Baron for a full-blown verbal demolition of the English language.
What starts as a casual chat quickly turns into a hilarious, rage-fuelled breakdown of why English is one of the most confusing, inconsistent, and poorly designed languages ever forced upon humanity. From words that look identical but sound completely different, to spelling rules that simply disappear when they feel like it, The Baron explains exactly why learning English is an absolute nightmare.
He runs through some of the most painful examples imaginable. Tough, though, rough, cough, thorough. Make, bake, ache, naked. Desert and desert. Wind and wind. Produce and produce. Object and object. Bass the fish, bass the instrument, bass the drum. Every example somehow makes sense on its own, yet none of it works together.
As the frustration builds, the conversation expands into teachers trying to explain this madness, why educators secretly agree it makes no sense, and how the English language seems to have been designed by a committee that hated consistency. Even the letter W cops a hiding, with a surprisingly valid argument that it is harder to say than the words it represents.
This episode also dives into why The Baron turned this exact frustration into his book The English Language Is a Cunt, how his videos around spelling and pronunciation blew up online, and why people from all over the world message him daily just to say, “Thank you, I thought it was just me.”
If you love Australian comedy podcasts, language humour, viral internet creators, or yelling at words that don’t behave, this episode will hit home hard.
Loud, funny, painfully accurate, and impossible to argue with.
A proper true yarn for anyone who has ever tried to spell “thorough” without swearing.

In this classic laugh-out-loud episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, The Baron drops one of his all-time great travel stories from his first wild night in Amsterdam.
What starts as a harmless Europe trip with his then fiancée quickly escalates into sex shows, cheap joints, tour groups getting loose, and a nightclub that somehow empties out without him noticing. After getting absolutely cooked and separated from everyone he knows, The Baron finds himself wandering the streets of a foreign country with no phone direction, no hostel name, and no clue where he is.
Trying to wave down taxis in the dark, he finally hops into a car he assumes is a cab, only to realise after more than an hour of driving around the city that the bloke behind the wheel is not a taxi driver at all. Just a local on his way to work who decided to help a blind drunk Australian stranger get home.
The story somehow gets better with every turn, covering weed cafes, tour groups, sex shows, language barriers, hostel roulette, and one of the nicest random acts of kindness you’ll ever hear in a yarn that sounds completely made up but somehow isn’t.
If you love travel disaster stories, Amsterdam nightlife yarns, Aussie humour, or proper true stories that spiral out of control, this episode is an absolute belter.
Unplanned. Unfiltered. Unforgettable.
A proper true yarn told exactly how it happened.

In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, we sit down with Australian internet cult figure The Baron to unpack the real story behind the character, the comedy, and the chaos that made him one of the most recognisable storytellers on social media.
Nathan explains how The Baron was born while working in mining in Western Australia, after being handed a welder’s beanie that sparked the nickname “The Red Baron.” What started as a worksite joke quickly became a character that helped him sell thousands of T-shirts through his early brand Instinct Athletic, years before TikTok even existed.
He breaks down how the original Baron character was completely mute, communicating only through music and mimed clips on Snapchat, effectively experimenting with short-form storytelling long before platforms like TikTok took over. After stepping away from content and selling the business at a loss, Nathan later revived The Baron online, this time focused purely on telling funny, raw, true stories.
One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is the reality of social media money. Despite millions of views and viral clips, The Baron explains why Australian creators make nothing directly from TikTok or Instagram, and why only platforms like Facebook currently offer meaningful ad revenue. It’s an honest look at the creator economy that most people get completely wrong.
The episode also dives into the Baron Files Podcast, viral story submissions, and why telling good yarns still matters even when there’s no cheque at the end of it. From mining camps to social media myths, this conversation strips it all back.
If you’re into Australian podcasts, viral storytelling, TikTok reality checks, mining humour, or no-bullshit creator talk, this one hits the mark.
Funny, honest, and grounded.
A proper true yarn from start to finish.
