    Acting School Is Cooked | What They Teach You and What Actually Matters

    In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young break down acting school from the inside, what it actually teaches you, what it doesn’t, and why most people misunderstand how acting careers really work. The conversation centres around their time at the New York Film Academy on the Gold Coast, back when it operated out of the Movie World studios. The boys explain that while acting can’t really be “taught” in a traditional sense, being immersed on real sets teaches you the most important skills of all. Where to stand, how cameras see you, how marks work, and how not to be a liability on set. They talk honestly about the chaos of acting school. Big egos, strange personalities, wild rumours, and the reality that anyone could enrol, which meant a mix of people chasing lifelong dreams and others just dabbling for fun. Drama school, in every sense of the word. The episode also dives into the strange hierarchy of the film industry. One year you’re being coached by someone, the next year you might have more screen credits than them. Beau and Jordan explain why humility, consistency, and being easy to work with matter more than talent alone. They share surreal moments from studying alongside major productions like Thor: Ragnarok, casually seeing Jeff Goldblum walking past during lunch, and learning a simple rule that stuck with them more than any acting technique ever did: don’t be a c**t. The conversation expands into why acting classes can actually be valuable for anyone, not just performers. Confidence, communication, handling pressure, and getting out of your own head are skills that transfer into every part of life. It’s honest, funny, self-aware, and pulls the curtain back on an industry that looks glamorous from the outside but is chaotic, political, and brutally unforgiving underneath. If you’re into behind-the-scenes film stories, acting school realities, creative careers, or conversations that cut through the b******t, this episode delivers. Straight talk, zero romance, and plenty of proper laughs. A proper true yarn about learning the hard way. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Met in a Bin, Bonded on a War Film | Beau Jones & Jordan Abbey Young

    This episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast brings two absolute weapons into the studio, Beau Jones and Jordan Abbey Young, for a long-form yarn about friendship, acting, and how careers sometimes start in the strangest possible ways. Both Beau and Jordan grew up as station kids in North Queensland and the Northern Territory, chasing an acting dream that confused their families and tested their commitment early. Their paths eventually crossed on the Gold Coast through short films, indie projects, and pure chaos, including the first time they properly met when one of them was literally playing a homeless bloke in a wheelie bin during a film shoot in Beenleigh. Beau talks about boarding school on the Gold Coast and studying acting at the New York Film Academy, before returning to Australia to grind through low-budget productions and short films. Jordan shares his own journey, bouncing between stations, sheds, couches, and castings while chasing opportunities wherever they appeared. The episode really opens up when the boys break down landing roles in Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan, their first major professional acting job. They tell the full story of beating thousands of auditions, getting flown to Kingaroy, and immediately celebrating their “big break” by getting completely blind the night before a freezing early-morning call time. What follows is an all-time hangover yarn. Missed alarms, panic showers, vomiting into a backpack full of scripts and wardrobe, and still somehow surviving a full day of filming without getting sent home. It’s funny, brutal, and painfully honest about how unforgiving the industry can be when you’re just getting started. Beyond the chaos, the episode digs into shared rural values, persistence over polish, and what it means to back yourself without a safety net. It’s about timing, luck, and finding your people along the way. If you’re into Australian film stories, behind-the-scenes acting yarns, regional blokes chasing creative careers, or raw conversations about getting your first real break, this episode delivers. Loose, honest, and full of proper laughs. A proper true yarn about friendship, timing, and earning your shot. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Magical Smoke, Steve Renoff & The TikTok Live Pressure Test

    In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Jimmy Christmas jumps into the hot seat for a rapid-fire question session, live on TikTok. From the very first question, it’s chaos. Jimmy shares where to find his viral Christmas light displays (Jimmy_Xmas on socials) and talks about the Tongan rugby league light show that blew up online. What started as a hobby has turned into one of the most talked-about Christmas light setups in Australia. Then the questions get real. If he could get anyone’s autograph, dead or alive, who would it be? Jimmy doesn’t hesitate. It’s Steve Renouf, “The Pearl.” He tells the story of finally meeting his childhood hero after State of Origin and how it felt to come face-to-face with the bloke he used to pretend to be in the backyard. He also opens up about one of his biggest and most expensive mistakes. In true DIY fashion, Jimmy accidentally wired 24-volt power supplies into a 12-volt setup and let the “magical smoke” out of a brand-new control board imported from America. A painful lesson in checking specs before plugging things in. The rapid-fire keeps rolling: Losing his virginity at 14 after a very suspicious “study session.”Meeting Billy Slater after the 2017 Grand Final and confidently grabbing him mid-celebration.Dust-ups at ag college that escalated quickly and got completely out of hand.Why Seann William Scott (Stifler from American Pie) would be the perfect actor to play him in a movie.And why, if he could own any animal in the world, it would absolutely be a monkey.It’s loose, unfiltered, and exactly what happens when you mix footy, farming, Christmas lights, and a live audience egging it on. If you’re into Aussie humour, rugby league stories, Christmas light madness, or rapid-fire guest questions that go completely off track, this episode delivers. Fast, funny, and full of classic Jimmy Christmas energy. A proper true yarn. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ag College Built Me | Crushed Fingers, Life Lessons & Why School Isn’t for Everyone

    In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Jimmy Christmas looks back on the years that shaped him most, his time at agricultural college, and why it was the best thing that ever happened to him. Jimmy talks openly about hating school, struggling academically, and being given one last shot when his parents allowed him to leave in Year 10 and head to Ag College. With strict conditions to pass and no room to fail, he explains how that structure finally clicked and forced him to apply himself in a way traditional schooling never did. The episode takes a brutal turn when Jimmy tells the full story of crushing his fingers in a farming accident just before starting college. A hydraulic ram, a bad decision, and a split-second mistake left him hospitalised, heavily bandaged, and turning up late to college with a mangled hand and no mates. It’s graphic, funny in hindsight, and completely honest about how fast things can go wrong on farms. From awkward first days and standing up for teachers when no one else did, to discovering half the class had failed maths despite supposedly needing Bs to get in, the yarn captures the chaos, humour, and growth that came with those years at Ag College in Emerald. Jimmy also dives into a bigger conversation about education in Australia. He questions whether the current school system actually works for everyone and argues strongly for more trade-based pathways, practical life skills, and real-world education. Business basics, tax knowledge, and exposure to trades are things he believes would help far more kids than forcing everyone down the same academic road. It’s a thoughtful, funny, and brutally real episode about finding your place, learning the hard way, and why some people just aren’t built for classrooms but thrive when given responsibility and purpose. If you’re into Australian rural stories, farm life, education debates, or coming-of-age yarns that actually say something, this one hits hard. Honest, raw, and full of perspective. A proper true yarn about becoming a man the hard way. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Footy Trips, Motel Chaos & Getting Hugged by Alfie Langer

    In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Jimmy Christmas switches gears from farming chaos to classic footy stories that only come from road trips, rep sides, and too much freedom in motel rooms. Jimmy talks about growing up around footy, playing local and rep sides, and why making representative teams was often more about the away trips than the games themselves. He shares one unforgettable trip where a simple idea for team bonding turned into a full-blown motel party involving two footy teams, overturned beds, angry owners, a mysteriously missing minibar, and police turning up to absolutely nothing. The yarn digs into why team culture matters, how shared chaos builds trust, and why that one night off the field helped turn a smashed side into a competitive unit the very next game. It’s a reminder that footy isn’t just about talent, it’s about camaraderie, trust, and knowing the bloke next to you has your back. Jimmy also opens up about marrying into a deeply football-connected family and the moments that come with it. From being inside sheds after big games to State of Origin access that money can’t buy, he explains why those behind-the-scenes experiences mean more than any photo or post. One of the standout moments comes when Jimmy tells the story of being mistaken for Tim Glasby and getting wrapped up in a hug by Alfie Langer, before Alfie realises he has absolutely no idea who he’s hugging. It’s loose, funny, and packed with classic footy energy. The kind of episode that reminds you why sport, trips away, and shared chaos create stories that last forever. If you’re into Australian footy yarns, rep team chaos, road trips, or behind-the-scenes sporting stories, this one’s an absolute belter. Funny, nostalgic, and a proper true yarn from kickoff to siren. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Kelvin the Farmhand | Naked in a Cherry Picker and Other Hiring Nightmares

    In this episode of the Proper True Yarn Podcast, Jimmy Christmas delivers one of the loosest and most unbelievable farm yarns you’ll ever hear, and every word of it is true. The conversation dives straight into the reality of hiring seasonal workers on a regional avocado farm, where interviews don’t always tell the full story and first days can go wildly off the rails. Jimmy introduces listeners to “Kelvin”, a character inspired by a collection of real-life workers whose behaviour was so cooked it eventually became its own ongoing persona. What starts as a normal hire quickly turns into chaos when a new worker arrives claiming experience, only to be found hours later completely naked in a cherry picker, metres in the air, scratching himself and blaming allergies to grass, weeds, and leaves. On a farm. Full of grass, weeds, and leaves. From support buses dropping workers off, to machinery safety concerns, to phone calls at two in the morning explaining why someone is “still itchy” and can’t come back, Jimmy breaks down the genuine challenges of managing staff, staying patient, and knowing when to cut your losses. The episode also explores broader farming realities, including workforce shortages during COVID, reliance on backpackers and Pacific Island labour programs, language barriers, and why finding ten reliable workers can be harder than running the entire operation solo. It’s raw, funny, ridiculous, and eye-opening, showing a side of farming most people never see, where you don’t just manage crops, you manage absolute characters. If you’re into Australian farm stories, wild worksite yarns, regional life, or episodes that make you say “that can’t be real”, this one is an all-time classic. Loose, honest, and completely unforgettable. A proper true yarn straight from the paddock. #propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
