Ahoy, mates! This episode of Proper True Yarn is a real cracker as Knuckles’ good mate, Bryze, fills in as host and sits down with none other than the Aussie Pirate himself—Jason Mitchell, the legendary mud crab wrangler, and former Beetle Percy Island lessee. From wild adventures on the water to some hilarious antics at a North Queensland wedding, this yarn is packed with pirate-inspired chaos, unforgettable characters, and a couple of drinks to keep things flowing.

The yarn kicks off with a hilarious account of Bryze and his mate attending a wedding in Townsville, where the cold weather caught the Queenslanders by surprise and had them huddling by the fire. But it wasn’t long before a classic pirate moment unfolded as the Aussie Pirate himself was handed a coconut full of rum—straight up, no mixer—and the tale of hydration began.

From there, things only got wilder. The lads head to the casino, where an unexpected gang of red-hatted pirates appears out of nowhere, stealing the Aussie Pirate’s thunder. But not to be outdone, Bryze (with a bit of help from his trusty thong) makes sure the pirate world knows who’s boss. Then it’s off to Magnetic Island for some sun-soaked shenanigans, where Bryze discovers the true meaning of "pubs being the official sunblock of North Queensland."

Through all the laughs and chaos, one thing’s for sure—there’s never a dull moment when Bryze and the Aussie Pirate are in the mix. Don’t miss this rollicking episode full of pirate hats, rum, and good old Aussie humor. And keep an eye out for Bryze’s upcoming adventures, including a potential chopper ride and more wild yarns to come!
