Proper True Yarn

Don’t Call Trev for Your Shed Slab

Ep. 379

Knuckles sits down with Trev for the yarn that finally ended his concreting career — a 49-degree Longreach slab, a useless operator, and a boot full of wet concrete.

Trev recounts the job from hell: taped-up work boots, concrete arriving at 1pm in scorching heat, falling through mesh, and a “dehydrated” coworker rehydrating with Canadian Club. Proper chaos, proper laughs, proper true yarn.

True. Yarn.#propertrueyarn
