    Beyond the Ring | Clay Waterman’s Mission to Change Australia Through Boxing & Culture

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, world-title-winning boxer Clay Waterman steps away from fight talk and lays out his bold vision to change lives far beyond the ring. Clay opens up about building a long-term backup plan outside of boxing, leading to the creation of the Manna Foundation - a purpose-driven initiative focused on youth programs, cultural education, and community-first gyms across Australia. Drawing from his Māori, Aboriginal, and European heritage, Clay explains how boxing can be used as a tool to teach discipline, respect, identity, and leadership. He breaks down his flagship 10-week boxing and cultural program, designed to bring young people from all backgrounds together, reconnect them with culture, remove ego, and build real-world life skills - all culminating in a respectful, structured fight night. This episode tackles culture, unity, leadership, execution, and why helping others is the real definition of success. If you’re into purpose-driven business, boxing-based youth programs, leadership mindset, cultural education, Australian community stories, or real conversations about change, this episode hits hard in the best way. This isn’t just a plan - it’s a mission. A proper true yarn about legacy, leadership, and changing Australia for the better. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.

    Silly Saturday #13 – Truckie Road Rage, Servo Car Thief & The Scottish Tongue Twister

    Welcome back to Silly Saturday on the Proper True Yarn Podcast, where Knuckles and Zak play the funniest, wildest and most ridiculous listener phone calls from around Australia and beyond. This episode kicks off with a mysterious Scottish tongue twister before diving into a serious yarn from a truck driver about dangerous overtaking on Aussie highways and the risks truckies face every day on the road. The boys share their own close-call stories and talk about why drivers need to show a bit more respect for the big rigs keeping the country moving. There’s also a classic pub joke involving an Englishman, a German and an Aussie, a chaotic hospital mishap that’ll have you cringing, and a bloke who accidentally jumps into the wrong car at a servo and nearly drives off with it. As always, the yarns come straight from listeners — truck drivers, farmers, tradies and everyday legends across Australia — bringing the chaos, comedy and unbelievable moments that make Proper True Yarn what it is. If you love Australian humour, wild outback stories, truckie yarns, tradie banter and ridiculous real-life moments, this episode is for you. 🥩 SponsorTo wrap, the boys plug Our Cow: use code YARN for $50 off your first box over $200, and the Yarn of the Month scores a free meat box — plus a reminder to send your own yarns in. 📞 Get involved🎤 Send a voice message to the boys Drop us a yarn or question and you might feature on the show. 📧 Enquiries: propertrueyarn@gmail.com 🌐 Website: linktr.ee/propertrueyarn 📲 Follow the PodcastInstagram: @propertrueyarn TikTok: @propertrueyarn Facebook: Proper True Yarn Podcast YouTube: Proper True Yarn Podcast 🤠 Meet the HostsKnuckles – Country Trucker Caps Instagram: @countrytruckercaps TikTok: @knucklesctc Zak Palmas Instagram: @zpdigitals TikTok: @zakpal Hosted on Acast.

    Bare Knuckle Madness | Clay Waterman on Street Fights, Knockouts & Raw Violence

    In this wild episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Australian boxing savage Clay Waterman breaks down his jump into the brutal world of bare knuckle fighting - and why it might be the purest form of combat there is. Clay opens up about saying yes to bare knuckle fights without hesitation, how it completely changed his fighting style, and why many traditional boxers wouldn’t survive a real street fight. He explains the mindset shift required to fight without gloves, the reality of broken hands, blood-soaked events, and why bare knuckle knockouts happen fast and brutally. From his knockout win at one of Australia’s first major bare knuckle events, to the rise of combat sports entertainment, boxing politics, ego checks, and why learning how to fight properly can change your life - this episode is raw, honest, and unapologetic. If you’re into bare knuckle boxing, combat sports podcasts, Australian boxing stories, street fight mentality, fight culture, or unfiltered fight talk, this one hits hard. No fluff. No filters. Just violence, respect, and a proper true yarn. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Silly Saturday #12 | Rooftop Root, “Rubber in Me?”, and the Wildest Car-Crash Yarn Ever

    Silly Saturday rolls in with the usual weekend sermon: rip, tear, bust… or do absolutely fuck-all,just don’t spend it mowing the lawn. Then the hotline delivers a stacked set of yarns: Harley Wong (Rodeo Root): a backseat session turns into next-day panic when the girl messages asking if he left a condom in her… and Harley’s response is as cooked as you’d expect.Carl Zilly (Average Willy, Bundaberg): at a diabetes seminar in Hervey Bay, he links with a “wee Bonnie lass” and ends up in the bedroom staring down a prosthetic leg… that quickly becomes part of the requested “mischief.”Nulsy’s Fishing Adventures (Rooftop Tent Intruders): comes back to his own rooftop tent to find two randoms mid-act-lets them finish, then bins the mattress the next day.Beefo Keef (Car Crash Horror Film): a head-on at highway speed, the other car’s occupants dead, a hospital lockdown with an angry mob, cops revealing the driver was known and the car was stolen… and the kicker: the passenger was already dead before the crash. Somehow it ends with $150k compo and buying a sailboat in Florida to sail back to Australia.To wrap, the boys plug Our Cow: use code YARN for $50 off your first box over $200, and the yarn of the month scores a free meat box-plus a reminder to send your own yarns in. 📞 Get involved🎤 Send a voice message to the boys Drop us a yarn or question and you might feature on the show. 📧 Enquiries: propertrueyarn@gmail.com 🌐 Website: linktr.ee/propertrueyarn 📲 Follow the PodcastInstagram: @propertrueyarn TikTok: @propertrueyarn Facebook: Proper True Yarn Podcast YouTube: Proper True Yarn Podcast 🤠 Meet the Hosts Knuckles – Country Trucker Caps Instagram: @countrytruckercaps TikTok: @knucklesctc Zak Palmas Instagram: @zpdigitals TikTok: @zakpal Hosted on Acast.

    AJ: Guest Questions & Wedding Blowout

    Knuckles wraps up with AJ “the NZ hype train” and fires through a rapid set of guest questions - from grooming habits and what you’d buy with a billion, to biggest fuck-up, dream movie casting, and the ultimate fantasy pet. AJ’s “biggest fuck-up” turns into a full wedding-night disasterclass: arriving underfed, going way too hard, letting off fireworks, an accidental dancefloor knock-out, and a brutal one-liner that gets him kicked out… before making the worst decision of all and drink driving - owning that he deserved to be pulled over. They finish lighter: wild party picks (R&V and Oktoberfest in Munich), AJ casting himself as Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura devotion included), and choosing a trained big ape as the ultimate pet. Knuckles closes the ep with a final shout-out to AJ and a new life motto to send everyone off on the right note. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    AJ: R&V Chaos, Stage Nudity & the Tractor He Stole

    AJ wraps up his wild Auckland era with absolute carnage from Rhythm & Vines (R&V) - New Zealand’s massive New Year’s festival pulling 30,000+ punters. Him and Ant get handed the main stage hosting gig, which is normally just quick intros… but they turn it into full theatre: six or seven costume changes a night, morph suits, Kermit, Pink Panther, inflatable boat races, kiss cams - and at one point, going out completely nude before a major headline act (thankfully not during). They share the chaos of working around big artists like Savage, Sticky Fingers (who rocked up 40 minutes late while the crowd frothed), and the madness of trying to keep a festival crowd engaged when no one’s really listening anyway. Then it drifts into pure after-dark festival mischief: roaming campgrounds in costume at sunrise, hiding in hay bales to dodge security, impulsively stealing a tractor for absolutely no reason… and somehow ending up buying a plus-size inflatable doll named “Bernice” for $100 - who later appears on stage leaking in front of thousands. They also revisit the old Short & Wide TV show days, including a brutal hurdles challenge that leaves AJ with one of the most unfortunate bruising stories you’ll ever hear. It’s five years of festival madness, media chaos, and two idiots pushing stage hosting way further than it ever needed to go. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast.
