Cheeky Tales

The most dangerous movie ever made. Probably not a title you really want, but once you hear this story you'll realise it was all but inevitable. This week John takes Aaron and Sean through the crazy story of the film that was inspired by a house over-run by wildlife - Roar.

Sometimes the crazy guy cleaning the street telling you he's a former Emperor isn't so crazy after all. This week join us as Sean takes Aaron and John through the story of the last Emperor of China, Puyi. Listen as he spends his formative years in a strange life, then his middle years in exile, then his final years being reprogrammed by the new regime and then in hiding.

Also, please don't ever assume the crazy guy telling you he's a former Emperor is actually former Emperor. He's not.

John's going on a cruise, so he decided to freak himself out by researching and presenting a bunch of stories about cruises that went wrong. Aaron and Sean help him out by being willing participants in his sadism. Hopefully none of this happens to him this week.

Mass murders are rare in Australia, which is why the fire at the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub in Brisbane has had such an enduring legacy. Listen this week as Sean takes Aaron and John through the tale, and whether we really know who set the fire that fateful night.

Little Caesars is a name we don't know very well in Australia, but it's founder Mike Ilitch was a revolutionary in the world of fast food. He built an empire from one little shop, and would change the way many of us eat to this very day. He was also a very successful sports franchise owner and and even better ambassador for the city of Detroit. Listen this week as John takes Aaron and Sean through the story of Mike's rise to the top of the pizza world.

Most people think a plane crash is the worst thing that can happen on a flight, but what if you survived the crash only to find yourself isolated from the rest of the world, in the snow above the tree line, with only a few tins of mussels and chocolate for food. Well that's the awful situation that the survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 found themselves in. Join Aaron as he takes us through another icky tale, with John and Sean suitably horrified at the things they hear.

NASCAR has a history built on lawbreakers and innovation. That had to come from somewhere, and that's always going to come from the characters that have been part of the series from day 1. Join us this week as Sean takes us through the story of 3 of NASCAR's greatest kooks, the weird and wacky characters with their insane ideas and stories that helped to shape NASCAR to what it is today.

When you imagine a lake, I'm sure you think of a peaceful, quiet scene, maybe with a little boat floating along and some people fishing. While this lake was peaceful, it was for another reason altogether. This week John takes Aaron and Sean through the story of the Lake Nyos Burp.
