Fred, the Snake, and the Cockatoo Capers with Jeff Perot

Welcome back to the Proper True Yarn Podcast, where the yarns are
big, the laughs are louder, and the true stories? Well, they’re
as wild as they come. This week, we’re joined by the legend
himself, Jeff Perot, who’s got a stack of tales from the
outback—and this one is full of snakes, scares, and a bloody
hilarious cockatoo caper.


First up, Jeff tells us the story of Fred Waterson and a run-in
with a ten-foot black-headed python. Fred’s fear of snakes is no
match for Jeff’s sense of humor, as he tricks Fred into getting
up close and personal with the snake in an old mailbag. But
things take a wild turn when Fred gets the shock of his life,
sending the truck swerving through a tight corner and stripping
both side mirrors off. Fred’s terror and Jeff’s storytelling?
Unforgettable.


Then, we move on to a yarn from Jeff's boxing days, where he was
thrown into the ring with McGill the Gorilla—a fight that might
have been rigged, but not in the way Jeff had planned. With help
from his mate Doughy, a former light heavyweight champion, Jeff
takes us through a series of wild moves and codes in the ring,
teaching us all that boxing (and life) isn’t always what it
seems.


And to top it all off, there’s a story about Bob Cooper and his
lost cockatoo. When the bird escapes, Jeff and his mate Peter
find themselves with an unexpected guest... until Bob comes back
from holiday and wants to reward them for their "rescue" efforts.
But what Jeff didn’t count on was the cockatoo's true fate. It’s
a yarn with a twist and some classic outback humor.


It’s another cracker of an episode from Jeff, filled with
unexpected turns, laughs, and a whole lot of adventure. Tune in,
strap in, and get ready for a ride through the wildest stories
Australia has to offer.
