Proper True Yarn

Ambassador Melanie Kerr joins us fresh from Dunedin’s K9MD lab, where specially trained dogs are being used in research to detect cancer via urine samples. We swap the “fluffy mic” mix-up story for a deep dive on how scent detection works, why negative results matter as much as positives, and what a real research session looks like (controlled, peer-reviewed, and nothing like a pooch sniffing your bits). We talk early detection, blokes avoiding checkups, and why this world-first program could one day sit alongside standard bloods—simple, non-invasive, life-saving. Plus: foster families, doggy buses, Labrador legend “Hogan,” and a shout to the mates who couldn’t make the trip. Raw, hopeful, and genuinely inspiring.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

This proper true yarn special with Heath “Tierney” Tierney is full of wild laughs and loose yarns. From shaving mishaps in the Army to the fantasy of billion-dollar boats, Tierney opens up about virginity in a granny flat, fights on the rugby field, and a party that got shut down after projecting porn onto a neighbour’s house with surround sound moans echoing through the street. The lads swap stitch-up stories, dodgy pick-up lines, fake jobs, Tinder vs. old-school chasing, and even debate what animal would make the ultimate pet (spoiler: a wedge-tailed eagle beats a bald eagle every time). Proper larrikin energy from start to finish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this ripper episode of Proper True Yarn Podcast, Knuckles sits down with Team Tooney Fishing to swap stories of being “professional amateurs.” From snapping rods and cooking engines mid-comp, to sinking tins while limping a sand-clogged boat back to shore, these blokes prove that looking pro doesn’t mean fishing pro. The yarns spiral into community spirit, near-disasters on the water, jerseys printed with the wrong bloody name, and even a charity golf day where the infamous “Moist Hole” stole the show. Packed with banter, blunders, and plenty of laughs, this one’s for anyone who’s ever fished, fucked up, and had a beer about it.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

In this wild episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Tony takes us from army shenanigans to life-threatening moments on a C-130 Hercules.

Strap in for laughs, near misses, and raw tales from nearly a decade in uniform.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this gripping Proper True Yarn Podcast episode, we dive deep into the raw realities of service life with Team Tuning. From a Chinook nearly torn apart by a rogue artillery shell that left a soldier with a permanent stutter, to the shocking story of a cook betrayed and killed by an Afghan soldier while on lookout, this yarn doesn’t hold back. Tony and his guest unpack the chaos of deployment, close calls under fire, and the trust-shattering moments that leave scars long after the uniform comes off. Beyond the battlefield, they explore the struggle of losing your identity when service ends, and how fishing, family, and new purpose can help light the way forward.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Heath from Team Tooney takes us straight into recruit life — brutal drill sergeants, bent bedframes and hot-box humiliation at Kapooka, plus wild tales from job-specific training (including the maddening rules around weapons and helicopter licences). Raw, funny and honest: this one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered what makes soldiers tough — and what makes them laugh afterwards.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

He talks manscaping mishaps, billion-dollar truck fantasies, and why he’s more at home in a country pub than a wild party. From footy blues that spiraled into sideline stabbings, to wrestling losses that nearly left him useless for work, Connor’s got stories for days. There’s pick-up lines in smoky beer gardens, debates on eating polar bear tacos, and the ultimate test—could his dad dust him up today? (Spoiler: yes.)Packed with laughs, honesty, and a few loose moments only found in the back bar of Australia’s country pubs.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Connor from Pub Cats is back with one of his wildest yarns yet — the infamous Toowoomba night out that spiralled from pokies wins and stein sculls to a spew in the Bavarian and an accidental break-in at the Shamrock Hotel. What started as 40 blokes on a pub crawl turned into chaos, laughs, and a brush with a $20,000 robbery the boys had nothing to do with (but sure looked suss on camera).Between the carnage, Connor opens up about what Pub Cats has always stood for: mateship, connection, and the kind of bonding that happens best over a few cold ones. Raw, hilarious, and properly true — this one’s got everything from cocktails and chaos to real talk about looking after your mates.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

Guest Q’s go fully off-road with Johnny: a Veet-on-the-ballbag disaster, losing it at 13, a “sandwich bag” condom at a house party, and a car-park punch-on with fairground gypsies—plus the footy brawl so wild the cops shut it down. Also: billion-dollar wishes, ferrets as pets, and why Dad (the Popeye-forearmed sparky) still wins the fight.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
