    15:15||Ep. 294
    From launching pistons through the house to nearly blowing up the yard with a corn-firing spud gun, this episode with Scott “Risky" Andriske is absolute bedlam in the best way. The Logan tow truck legend shares wild yarns from the road basher days—banging $400 bombs, flipping cars at parties, and sending moped races through the workshop. But it’s not all wreckage—Scott’s also a serious racer, taking on 25-hour enduros in Europe and flying the Aussie flag at Spa and Donington. One minute it’s forklifts through windscreens, the next it’s going wheel-to-wheel in Belgian rain. This episode is full throttle.#propertrueyarn

He unpacks why he’d still take on an F1 seat today, the reality of missing out due to money, and his dream of racing full-time in Australia. Oh, and there's also cow stampedes, bear-hunting dogs, and a few yarns we probably can’t legally print. Buckle up, it’s proper.#propertrueyarn

It’s raw, honest, and a laugh-a-minute insight into what it really takes to make it in motorsport, and how yarning might just be more profitable than racing.#propertrueyarn
