Welcome back to the Proper True Yarn Podcast, where the yarns are big, the laughs are louder, and the true stories? Well, they’re as wild as they come. This week, we’re joined by the legend himself, Jeff Perot, who’s got a stack of tales from the outback—and this one is full of snakes, scares, and a bloody hilarious cockatoo caper.

First up, Jeff tells us the story of Fred Waterson and a run-in with a ten-foot black-headed python. Fred’s fear of snakes is no match for Jeff’s sense of humor, as he tricks Fred into getting up close and personal with the snake in an old mailbag. But things take a wild turn when Fred gets the shock of his life, sending the truck swerving through a tight corner and stripping both side mirrors off. Fred’s terror and Jeff’s storytelling? Unforgettable.

Then, we move on to a yarn from Jeff's boxing days, where he was thrown into the ring with McGill the Gorilla—a fight that might have been rigged, but not in the way Jeff had planned. With help from his mate Doughy, a former light heavyweight champion, Jeff takes us through a series of wild moves and codes in the ring, teaching us all that boxing (and life) isn’t always what it seems.

And to top it all off, there’s a story about Bob Cooper and his lost cockatoo. When the bird escapes, Jeff and his mate Peter find themselves with an unexpected guest... until Bob comes back from holiday and wants to reward them for their "rescue" efforts. But what Jeff didn’t count on was the cockatoo's true fate. It’s a yarn with a twist and some classic outback humor.

It’s another cracker of an episode from Jeff, filled with unexpected turns, laughs, and a whole lot of adventure. Tune in, strap in, and get ready for a ride through the wildest stories Australia has to offer.
