Knuckles and Zak launch Silly Saturday – a new Proper True Yarn spin-off where they dive blind into the wildest listener call-ins from a “lost” folder full of filthy, unfiltered chaos.

This first Silly Saturday’s got it all: a Tinder date ambush by surprise kids, a Kiwi truckie with 30 roadside emergency bogs and a full-noise pants blowout, food-poisoning horror yarns (including Zak spewing and shitting himself after dodgy sushi), trusting a fart in Thailand, and a car getting absolutely sent until the tyres and motor give up.

There’s even a rogue detour into bush “cures” and backyard medical theories – strictly yarns, not health advice – plus a bit of love for Chevs, hate for Rams, and a shoutout to the Sharp Motor Group. Raw, loose and completely un-pre-listened… welcome to Silly Saturday.

Knuckles is back with Charleville’s finest, Trev 966, and this time the big banger yarns take a detour into posties, planks and pure fear of heights.

It starts light – Knuckles giving a shoutout to his gun postie Jeffro getting CTC hats overnight – then Trev drops a proper true yarn about the local postal manager Tom, a paint job, and a fall straight out of Cliffhanger.

At 14, Trev’s up on trestles helping Tom paint his house when something goes horribly wrong. One second they’re cutting in around the windows, the next Tom brushes past Trev, falls from the plank, and locks eyes with him mid-air on the way to the ground. Broken ribs, an ambulance ride, and the sound of that “oof” has stuck with Trev ever since.

Asked to go back and finish the job, he climbs onto the same plank, feels it rock, climbs straight back down and quits on the spot:

From there it’s a lifetime of being no good with heights:

• Boys on site stirring him up because he’s “terrible on roofs”
• Walking sheets on a high roof in Mackay, promising if he falls, someone’s coming with him
• Ass cheeks “like suction caps on the roof” if he slips

Just when he thinks he’s getting better, he’s back on a school job walking trusses along a fully extended plank. The boys grab the truss out of his hands and Trev suddenly realises he’s got nothing to hang onto. Frozen in the middle of the gap, he watches a mate fall off the top plate and break his neck on the ground below. That’s it. Line in the sand.

By the end of it, Trev’s made peace with his fate:

It’s a dark, funny, very real look at how one bad moment can turn a 14-year-old Charleville kid into a lifelong ground-dweller – even if he still climbs into the big bangers for a living.

Knuckles is back with Charleville’s own Trev 966, unpacking how he went from a kid out Quilpie way to one of the best big-banger drivers in the country. From learning the Roadranger with zero experience to seismic drilling runs through QLD, VIC and SA, Trev shares yarns about bog holes, water trucks, stolen cruisers and the tough old Louisville that made him. A proper truckie origin story, raw, funny, and all bush wisdom.

Knuckles welcomes Trev 966 back to the Proper True Yarn Podcast after the last appearance literally melted the camera. Fresh off the Get Yourself Checked gala, Trev rolls in from Charleville with a new batch of chaos.

He kicks off with a “quick pigging mission” that turns into full-blown PTSD courtesy of a useless pig dog named Ernie – the only dog on earth more interested in chewing Trev than the boar. From there it’s into the truckie world: big bangers, road trains, the Toowoomba show getting held up, and Trev’s verdict on his new rig – “Fuck your 90, buy a hino.”

Between sledging each other (no-neck vs no-arse), mixing up Akkos and Inters, and yard blokes who reckon “P is for Park and E is for Empty,” it’s classic Proper True Yarn gear: outback characters, dumb situations, and stories you just couldn’t make up if you tried.

Knuckles welcomes Dunc Heyde (The Rock FM / Not For Radio) for a tour of bizarre jobs before radio-culminating in his worst day on the tools. Sixth-form work experience lands Dunc at a salmon hatchery during spawning, where “milking” goes wildly wrong in the first five minutes. From there, the chat shifts to 18 years at The Rock, partnership chemistry with Jay, why live radio still rules, building the Not For Radio community across 147+ countries, and choosing family time over hustle while the kids are in their golden years. Equal parts feral and wholesome—a proper true yarn.

Knuckles sits down with Dunc Heyde (The Rock FM / Not For Radio) for the most out-of-control farmyard yarn you’ll ever hear. Teenage Dunc splits shifts between peeling spuds and “catching chickens,” stumbles into the great hormone debate, and — purely for “science” — runs a chook through a bonus growth cycle. The result? Chookzilla: a five–six kilo, driftwood-legged unit that wouldn’t fit the crates and later jammed the processing plant’s plucker, costing the crew a few grand… and costing Dunc his job. From blacked-out sheds and handfuls of birds to the day the factory met its match, this one’s cluckin’ ridiculous — a proper true yarn.

Knuckles is back with radio legend Dunc Heyde from The Rock FM and Not For Radio — this time diving into the most unhinged calls, yarns, and sky-high stories from his broadcasting career.

They kick off comparing notes on “hatfishing” their wives — proving that removing a Country Trucker Cap can change a man’s fortunes fast — before Dunc recalls the most unfiltered live call ever: a Vietnam vet on-air dropping the term “pink mist” mid-broadcast.

But the showstopper? A European yarn so wild it sounds fictional: two skydiving mates smuggling their dead grandma home for Christmas — tuxedos, G-Wagon, rubbish bags, and a live football crowd for landing witnesses. It’s dark, hilarious, and somehow heartwarming — the definition of a proper true yarn.

Back for round two, Caamzie drops a chaotic Mardi Gras yarn from Aotearoa: pre-drinks with the crew, an ill-timed bathroom stop, a stall-surfing staffer, and suddenly he’s face-to-face with cops, cuff-adjacent, and shivering on a cell bench while his past record gets read out like a shopping list. A warning later, he’s booted miles from the venue… only to hitch a ride, stroll past the line with a “band” bluff, get spotted and ejected again - then somehow walk straight back in (ditch the coat, melt into the mosh, catch Shapeshifter’s last song). The night caps off with a 40-minute wander home that ends at the Airbnb door beside none other than Dylan Frost (Sticky Fingers). One thing leads to another, and Caamzie spends the sunrise next door freestyling for Dylan, Tiki Taane, and mates for two hours straight. Chaos, consequences, and confidence - in that order.

We kick off with a quick bit of admin: NZ Mardi Gras ≠ Sydney’s Mardi Gras — this one’s the mountain music blowout at Ruapehu. Then it’s straight into Caamzie’s guest questions: ball-grooming misadventures (the “nut-cutter 2000s” versus a careful no-guard trim), what he’d buy first with a billion (spoiler: box of piss, drift track, houses for the crew, and an open chequebook for mates with real business plans), and his biggest screw-up — flipping a freshly bought Surf in a park donut session with a cabin full of mates, engine screaming in a diesel runaway while he’s hanging upside down by the belt and booting at the window. Everyone walked away; the truck didn’t.

We round it out with teen firsts, most-famous run-ins (Nyjah & Yelawolf), a one-punch dust-up that turned into a dance-floor melee, and the crucial closer: any animal as a pet? Give the man a dragon (or Appa). It’s rough, raw, and very, very Caamzie.
