Recorded LIVE at AlphaFest, this episode delivers two unforgettable stories from the crowd. First, Rusty shares how a drunken weekend on Bribie Island somehow led to a homemade traffic detour, the unofficial closure of Bribie Bridge, and the mysterious theft and sale of a giant pelican statue. Then "Fingers the Firebug" tells the incredible story of surviving an 11,000-volt electric shock while working on a roof. After multiple surgeries, skin grafts, months in hospital and even being placed into a coma, he somehow cheated death and lived to tell the tale. From hilarious mischief to unbelievable survival stories, this is another classic AlphaFest Live episode packed with proper true yarns. #propertrueyarn πŸ“ž Get involved🎀 Send a voice message to the boys.
