Knuckles and Zak are back for Silly Saturday #21 with cold beers and the best listener yarns of the week. Fresh off the Flood Relief Tour with Lee Kernaghan, Luke Geiger and Jared Wrigley, Knuckles shares the road stories — including how the boys threw a free pub night for the flooded-in locals at Eulo. Plus listener yarns from Nathan, The Semen Eater, Judy the Horny Cougar, The Broken Foreskin, and Big Mick Scalina (son of the bloke behind the legendary Tarcutta truck blockade). Finished off with a proper shout-out to Australia's truckies and farmers. 🎙️ Got a yarn? Hit the Linktree and tell us. Best yarn of the month wins a meat box from Our Cow.

Aussie actors Jordan Abbey Young and Beau Jones crack a cold one with Knuckles for a no-holds-barred yarn about life on and off screen. From working alongside Chris Hemsworth on Thor and Jason Momoa on Aquaman, to crashing Chris Pine's LA house party with a carton of beer and a bottle of JD these blokes have stories. In this episode the boys cover:Getting bogged in the outback and the six-day, six-night walk that followed
The wildest street fight ever told (featuring a Louis Vuitton purse that did more damage than the bloke)
Doing a fight scene with Jessica Alba
Why Mel Gibson is the only celebrity worth losing your mind over
Hollywood vs Aussie drinking culture (spoiler: nobody understands the carton)
Who'd play them in the movie of their lives — Pierce Brosnan or Mel Gibson?
Acting classes with Selena Gomez and the bouncer who nearly didn't let Beau in
Two true blue Aussies giving you the proper unfiltered yarn — Hollywood gossip, outback chaos, and everything in between. 🎙️ New episodes weekly. If you're gonna be a cunt, be a good cunt. ⚠️ Explicit content — strong language and adult themes throughout.

Knuckles is back on the piss with Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young — and within minutes Knuckles drops a curly one. At the Childers show, a carny rocked up to his stall calling himself Jonesy, reckoning he was Beau's older brother. Helicopter yarns, court battles over Coolibah Station, a feud over the family inheritance — the bloke had detail for days. Only problem: nobody in the actual Jones family has ever heard of him.So they ring the real brother live. Milton picks up from the pub on a half-day off, somewhere between Brisbane and the Territory, and the boys break the news he might have a long-lost sibling running rides at country shows. Turns out it's not the first one either — there's another fake Jones allegedly running tabs at Coolibah in Milton's name, plus the one who reckons he's at an Ag Force convention in Melbourne doing six o'clock meetings while everyone else is drinking piss.Pull out a Jones name in any pub between Roma and the Territory and there's a chance you're related to one of them. Crack a cold one and have a listen.

Knuckles is joined by Beau and Jordan — two mates who grew up in the bush — for a proper crack about reality TV, fake country blokes, and the next great Aussie dating show: Miner Wants a Vagina.Beau gives the inside word on growing up on Keeping Up with the Joneses, the reality series built around his family. He reckons every reality TV format hits the same four base needs — shelter, food, sex, and social — and Joneses nailed all of them 15 years before Yellowstone made country cool. Jordan brings his own take on the gap between bush and country culture, and the cunts they finally met at Podcast Royale who live it for real.Plus: dial-up internet trauma (running back and forth on the verandah to type "H-T-T-P"), the bloke at Johnny Ringo's running three head of Brahmans in head-to-toe RM Williams, and a mining reality show pitch that gets more cooked by the minute.Crack a cold one and have a listen.
