In this episode of Proper True Yarn, Knuckles sits down with Adam "The Poo Bandit" Boradale for a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt yarn. Adam shares the unforgettable story of a primary school excursion to the local police station that took an unexpected turn when he discovered his biological father sitting in the watch house. The conversation dives into family, growing up around chaos, learning what not to do, and why being a good dad has nothing to do with biology. Packed with laughs, wild stories, Aussie humour, and a powerful message about fatherhood and resilience.

Welcome back to Proper True Yarn!
Recorded LIVE at AlphaFest, this episode is packed with wild, hilarious and unbelievable crowd yarns.
First up, Zak meets a drummer with one of the most cooked highway stories you’ll ever hear, involving a dodgy Honda Accord and a very questionable driver.
Then Chris shares an incredible survival story after being diagnosed with stage four Burkitt’s lymphoma at just 15 years old. Given only 12 to 24 hours to live, he somehow pulled through, beat cancer and is now 25 years cancer free.
We also hear a classic old-school motorbike yarn from Townie, before the Novocastrian Nuisance wraps things up with a parenting lesson gone horribly wrong involving hygiene advice, a young fella and a scourer.
Funny, shocking, emotional and very Australian, this is AlphaFest Live at its finest.
