    But Did You Die — Wild Childhoods, Bunnings Mouse Traps & Dragging Trees

    Shane and Dean take a deep dive into the chaotic, high-stakes mischief of their youth and brainstorm some questionable prank ideas for their next hardware store run. From setting up harmless (and not-so-harmless) traps in local shops to dodging deadly snakes, derailments, and wild bush incidents, the boys question how their generation ever survived childhood. They wrap things up with a legendary camping tale featuring a short-wheelbase Maverick, a leaking petrol tank, full lockers, and a four-meter log dragged straight through a crowded campsite. Key Discussion Highlights & Timestamps Hardware Store Havoc & Bunnings Pranks — Sneaking mouse traps onto product shelves, measuring tape shenanigans, and harmless retail chaos. The Swampy Tunnel & Local Legends — Hiding in the John Forrest National Park tunnel to scare tourists, childhood spots, and the urban myth of escaped circus panthers in the hills. Reckless Childhood Memories — Dodging blue tongue lizards, raiding the Kettle Chip factory bin for sealed bags, and attempting train track stunts. Bush Survival & Close Calls — Uncovering a nest of baby dugites in the dunes, getting dragged behind a Shorty GQ/MK on an MDF board, and getting bitten by a leg-hook. Snake Encounters & Shack Life — Stumbling upon giant black snakes and pythons in old bush shacks, plus the classic crossbow-and-spider incident. The Great Log Drag & Campsite Donuts — Burning through moonshine, hooking a massive tree to a Ford Maverick with a leaking fuel tank, doing wheelstands in 4-Low, and swinging donuts through a campsite to keep the fire going.

    The Great Mayo Myth, A Weekend at River Run

    What happens when a meticulously planned weekend getaway turns into an absolute clusterfuck of last-minute changes, uncooperative weather, and rogue AI prompts? In this episode, Shane, Dean, and the crew recount the chaotic trip up to River Run at Fettler's Crossing in Woorooloo.
