In this episode of The Proper Yarn Podcast, Kyle Maskiell shares some of his wildest stories from the rodeo and beyond, including an unforgettable incident at Cloncurry Xtreme Bulls. When a bull rider gets arrested in the middle of a show, you know it’s going to be a good yarn. Picture this: a full-on rodeo performance, followed by an impromptu police takedown in the arena. And it’s not the only time things get crazy. From sneaky road trips with the boys to some very questionable decisions in a small-town New South Wales, Kyle recounts what it's really like behind the scenes of the rodeo circuit. Think old vans, high-speed chases, and a seriously dodgy situation involving a girl, a van, and the parents who weren’t too thrilled about the company she was keeping.

This episode is packed with laughs, chaos, and a reminder that the line between wild fun and trouble can sometimes be pretty thin. Kyle's stories offer a glimpse into the madness that comes with life on the road—whether it's bulls, bikes, or running from an angry parent. Don’t miss the crazy antics and top-tier banter in this one!

In this wild episode, we hear from "the real deal," a jockey with a knack for crazy stories both on and off the track. First, he takes us back to a legendary moment when he found himself riding a random pig that wandered out of the bushes after a late-night shindig. What started as a bit of fun turned into a full-on rodeo with a pig that was bucking like a bull, and the video? It's an absolute classic.

But that’s just the beginning. The conversation takes a turn to the high-stakes world of horse racing, where we hear about the intense pressure jockeys face to make weight, perform under extreme conditions, and still come out on top. Our guest gets real about the mental and physical toll of the sport, the tricks of the trade, and how racing with family can sometimes mean getting set up for a loss in order to secure a win. His dad’s legendary tactics on the track may just leave you speechless.

From the gritty racecourse tactics to the lessons learned in the most unexpected moments, this episode gives an unfiltered look at life in the saddle and beyond. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s one hell of a yarn!
