Summary
Part 2 with Zak Palmas in the guest chair, and he's finally spilling the Japan yarns Knuckles has been making him save for the mic. The boys start with how they actually met, working side by side in the mines, ripping on people and talking about starting a podcast years before it happened. Zak reckons watching Knuckles network his way through life is what finally taught him it's not what you know, it's who you know. Then Japan. Seven trips, one stint living in Hakuba at 21 and thinking he was invincible. Working as a cleaner, skipping breakfast and lunch, snowboarding straight off shift, then sitting in the onsen dehydrated with nothing in the tank. It caught up with him at the Highland Hotel where he blacked out getting out of the hot tub and came to on the floor, butt naked, surrounded by naked blokes trying to help, and completely lost the plot before realising what had happened. Plus the kei truck era. Seven blokes in the tray drifting through Echoland, blokes nearly falling out, ending up buried in the snow. Then the night he got so blind he couldn't work out how to lock the hubs in, fell out of the ute, spent twenty minutes searching the snow for a key that was sitting in the ignition, and walked five k's home in a blizzard. Then rang his boss and told him it got stolen. ⚠️ Explicit content. #propertrueyarn 📞 Get involved🎤 Send a voice message to the boys.
