After a quick anecdote about the history of Chinese restaurants in regional Australia and Lottie's disgust for the movie 'Dude, Where's My Car?', we delve into the mystery shrouded story of Ricky Megee.

In 2006, Ricky was found in "one of the most isolated parts of Australia" - the Birrindudu Cattle Station (500km southwest of Katherine) sheltering under a water trough, with the appearance of a skeleton. After receiving treatment at the Royal Darwin Hospital, Ricky's recount of how he ended up is a yarn that put's Tom Hanks' 'Castaway' to shame, but due to his colourful past, one question remains - do you believe him?

Today we delve into the realm of Lottie's favourite animal - the Great White Shark. Rodney Fox was an ordinary South Australian man who loved to go spear fishing. On the 8th of December 1963, Rodney had an encounter with a Great White that needs to be heard to be believed, which subsequently changed the way the world understood the deep sea giants. Rodney's story is a must hear tale of survival and a very peculiar take on a near death experience.

Today we journey back to 2011 and the beautiful yet dangerous lands of Far North Queensland, where Aussie legend Todd Bairstow went for a run of the mill post-work fishing trip with his dog Dig Dig. What happened for Todd for the next 30 minutes of his life is something that has to be heard to be believed, and is a story of incredible will to survive combined with once in a lifetime luck.

Kicking things off with some quick yarns from listeners, followed by an epic Aussie story from 1979 - The Star Hotel Riots. The Star Hotel was a melting pot of culture for Newcastle in the 70s, and upon the news of it's closure the locals threw a farewell party which was not one to forget.

Today we've got a yarn like nothing we've heard before. Troy, a sparkie in Northern NSW was woken by a group of thieves stealing his work ute, and what followed is something like a Hollywood blockbuster you'd see Vin Diesel starring in. Has to be heard to be believed!
