Proper True Yarn

Knuckles is back on the piss with Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young — and within minutes Knuckles drops a curly one. At the Childers show, a carny rocked up to his stall calling himself Jonesy, reckoning he was Beau's older brother. Helicopter yarns, court battles over Coolibah Station, a feud over the family inheritance — the bloke had detail for days. Only problem: nobody in the actual Jones family has ever heard of him.So they ring the real brother live. Milton picks up from the pub on a half-day off, somewhere between Brisbane and the Territory, and the boys break the news he might have a long-lost sibling running rides at country shows. Turns out it's not the first one either — there's another fake Jones allegedly running tabs at Coolibah in Milton's name, plus the one who reckons he's at an Ag Force convention in Melbourne doing six o'clock meetings while everyone else is drinking piss.Pull out a Jones name in any pub between Roma and the Territory and there's a chance you're related to one of them. Crack a cold one and have a listen.

Knuckles is joined by Beau and Jordan — two mates who grew up in the bush — for a proper crack about reality TV, fake country blokes, and the next great Aussie dating show: Miner Wants a Vagina.Beau gives the inside word on growing up on Keeping Up with the Joneses, the reality series built around his family. He reckons every reality TV format hits the same four base needs — shelter, food, sex, and social — and Joneses nailed all of them 15 years before Yellowstone made country cool. Jordan brings his own take on the gap between bush and country culture, and the cunts they finally met at Podcast Royale who live it for real.Plus: dial-up internet trauma (running back and forth on the verandah to type "H-T-T-P"), the bloke at Johnny Ringo's running three head of Brahmans in head-to-toe RM Williams, and a mining reality show pitch that gets more cooked by the minute.Crack a cold one and have a listen.

It’s Silly Saturday 20 and this one is absolute chaos from start to finish.We’ve got a proper true yarn from a small-town rodeo that quickly spirals out of control, involving a pissed-up night, a run-in with an angry granny, shitting yourself mid-street, a river misadventure, and somehow ending with an op shop break-in just to get a fresh outfit.Plus, the Poddy Royale is heating up with submissions rolling in for the blindfold fight, and a couple of absolute mongrels putting their hands up to represent the podcast.If you love wild Aussie stories, rodeo antics, and unfiltered yarns that go completely off the rails, this episode delivers.

In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young break down the moment acting school stopped serving a purpose and real experience finally took over.The conversation centres on Beau’s time filming Territory in the Northern Territory, and how different the environment was compared to his early work on productions like Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan. Where acting school drilled rules like “don’t speak,” “don’t stand out,” and “don’t question anything,” Territory demanded the opposite.Instead of being told where to stand and when to die, Beau explains how he was asked real creative questions. What would your character wear? How would he act? What habits would he have? That shift marked a turning point from being a nervous extra to being trusted as part of the storytelling process.Filming at Tipperary Station amplified everything. Long days, isolation, a fully functioning cattle station still running around the production, and no escaping back to city comforts. Cast and crew lived together, drank together, and learned from each other, including time spent with experienced actors like Rob Taylor.The episode also dives into why the Northern Territory hasn’t been boxed into a genre yet, and why Beau believes it should be treated like Australia’s modern Wild West. Raw, rough, authentic, and still largely misunderstood on screen.As always, the yarn doesn’t stay serious for long. Stories spiral into escaped zoo animals, pig hunters and pygmy hippos, stolen penguins, and a full-on altercation with a koala on North Stradbroke Island.It’s an honest breakdown of confidence, creative growth, and the moment you realise school teaches rules, but sets teach reality.If you’re into acting behind the scenes, Australian TV, Territory life, or hearing how careers actually get built, this episode delivers.Straight talk, real lessons, and classic Proper True Yarn chaos.#propertrueyarn

In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young take Knuckles back to Jordan’s hometown of Forsayth in North Queensland for what was meant to be a wholesome country weekend and quickly turned into absolute chaos.What starts as a 2000-kilometre road trip in an old 75 Series LandCruiser becomes a full-scale lesson in small-town dynamics. Yabbie races with serious money on the line, locals who already know everything about you before you arrive, and tension brewing the moment someone decides to run their mouth at the pub.The boys unpack how a “big blue” turned out to be the most anticlimactic fight of all time, why Bo somehow always manages to miss the action by going for a piss, and how rumours grow legs faster than facts in a town of eighty people. By the end of the weekend, stories of coward punches, fires, and alleged violence are circulating, despite almost nothing actually happening.Things escalate further at the Forsayth Turnout when country music royalty Luke Geiger pulls Jordan up on stage in front of his hometown crowd. What should have been a hero moment turns into pure second-hand embarrassment when Jordan realises he doesn’t know the lyrics to his own family anthem or Friends in Low Places.The episode also dives into the aftermath. More pub blues, emotional locals, a grown man crying on his mum’s shoulder in front of half the town, and one of the strangest hypothetical questions ever asked between mates, ending with the unforgettable answer: “larger than not, no.”It’s a raw, hilarious look at country towns, long memories, fragile egos, and why going home is never as simple as it sounds.If you’re into outback stories, small-town pub fights, country music chaos, road trips gone wrong, and real Australian yarns, this episode delivers exactly that.Messy, honest, and completely unapologetic.A proper true yarn from the bush.#propertrueyarn
