Episodes
It all started innocently enough, my nephew told me to shave my legs so I could “see my muscle definition” at the gym. Sounded reasonable… until I actually tried it. Cut to me in the shower, covered in shaving foam, questioning my life choices as if I’d just joined a strange spa cult.
But wait it gets weirder. Later that day, I went to my friend’s place. She’d just had a gummy bear from L.A. (you already know where thi...
Guess who’s back on the pod? My globe trotting partner-in-crime Grace Rothschild fresh from a six-month world tour of airports, boarding passes, and questionable in-flight meals.
But forget the Instagram-worthy sunsets… because Grace has returned with something juicier: she’s ready to reveal the absolute worst airline in the world (and trust me, her story is wilder than turbulence at 30,000 feet).
Will she survive the...
Something strange is happening on the streets… People are stopping me, smiling wide, and asking for photos. Strangers are telling me how much joy I bring them, and it’s happening more than ever.
It got so intense, I decided to sign up to Cameo but what happened next? With Grace Rothschild as my co-host, we dive into the bizarre, thrilling, and unexpected twists of this new reality. Secrets, surprises, and a story that...
Today we’re joined by the stunning and slightly confused British queen, Amy who had no idea what she signed up for. I hit her with some true tall tales (they’re true… ish), and she gets a fresh rundown of the infamous hostel slurping noise mystery. Her reaction? Chef’s kiss.
We also dive into the legendary tale of Dr Maddison, who walked into work to find 20 sixty year olds wearing glasses clapping at him. But wh...
Welcome to the time capsule episode of 2025! That’s right, in 20 years when your grandkids are zipping around on hoverboards and dating AI holograms, they’ll listen to this and say, “So THAT’S what the world was like in the pre-chip-in-the-brain era!'
This week I’m joined by TWO special guests woo hoo, it’s my very first audio threesome (headphones optional, awkward eye contact encouraged).
We deep-dive into:
AI i...
This week I’ve recruited my mate Dan aka Dan the Man, aka the human tennis encyclopedia, aka the guy who probably knows what Roger Federer had for breakfast in 2007. He’s joining me as co-host because why not, and also because he’s a genius (but humble about it… kind of).
I tell Dan the true story of when I moved to the Big Smoke at 18, got my first proper job, and bought a suit that made me feel like a young Har...
This week on True Tall Tales, we’re dialing in across the globe! I’m joined by our hilarious co-host Tess, live from Canada (yep we’re spanning continents now, baby).
You ever have one of those weeks where the universe just goes, “buckle up, mate”? I tell Tess all about how a random convo in an infrared sauna turned into one of the strangest full-circle moments. Turns out, the guy I was chatting with in the infar...
In this week’s True Tall Tales, Sonny gets deep like intestinal deep. We’re talking gut health, gummy bears, and the not so glamorous journey to smooth bowel bliss. After learning how many young people are being diagnosed with bowel cancer, Sonny makes a case for getting on the Metamucil train early… but let’s just say the train had some unexpected stops. From daily fibre habits to a very loud lesson learned mid-downw...
This week I’m joined by my special guest and co-host Heidi Ho, who genuinely has the best laugh in the world. You’ll hear it. You’ll catch it. You’ll probably snort-laugh along with us.
I share some true tall tales from the last few weeks and let me tell you, carrot cake and old people have unexpectedly become the two softest spots in my heart. From doing something nice for a sweet old lady, to saving a granny’s life (...
This might just be one of the wildest — and most unexpectedly moving — episodes of True Tall Tales yet.
Meet Bill Edgar, also known as The Coffin Confessor: a man who is paid to crash funerals and deliver the messages of the dead — often juicy confessions, hidden truths, or final words they were too afraid to say while alive.
From exposing affairs to uncovering secret lives and family betrayals, Bill has seen (and said)...
Okay… am I super late to the party or is Denver International Airport actually the weirdest place on Earth? Like—why is no one talking about this?? From creepy murals to underground tunnels and a giant blue demon horse with glowing red eyes (seriously, Google it), this airport is giving full X-Files meets The Sims 4 build mode.
In this episode, I fall headfirst into the wildest rabbit hole—asking my conspiracy the...
Okay, I never talk about politics on this podcast… but how could I not with this? As of June 6th, 2025, we’re watching history unfold like a real-life episode of Game of Thrones—but swap swords for subpoenas and dragons for private jets.
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is in an all-out battle with the world’s (former?) most powerful man, Donald Trump. Elon just accused Trump of being named in the Epstein files...
This week, we proudly enter our Park Theme Era — but let’s just say… it didn’t go quite as planned. Picture this: we’re buzzing with excitement, up at the crack of dawn, and standing at the gates of Movie World on the Gold Coast an hour early like two hyper little theme park disciples.
But what followed? Pure chaos.
Think less “Hollywood magic” and more Fyre Festival with rollercoasters.
From dashed dreams to...
Ever felt personally victimised by your TV subscriptions? SAME. In this episode, I let it all out – the rage, the confusion, the betrayal. I’m talking about the endless platforms, rising prices, and how I now need a spreadsheet just to watch a sitcom.
This is my official therapy session, and lucky you, it’s free to listen (unlike literally everything else these days). If you’ve ever yelled “WHY is this not on Net...
Ever worked in hospitality and felt like you were stuck in a never-ending episode of Groundhog Day? SAME. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my chaotic (and hilarious) time working in restaurants and bars — where boredom inspired absolute madness.
I’m spilling the tea on how I would spice up the endless shift grind by putting on completely random accents and convincing tables I was from far-off exoti...
Ever been to a comedy night that felt like a fever dream? I did — inside a casino, no less. This week, I’m dishing all the chaotic, hilarious details about my trip to a stand-up show at Star City Casino on the Gold Coast — a venue that looks like a sci-fi church designed by someone mid-mushroom trip.
The comedians? Genuinely brilliant. The audience? A glorious mess of tipsy tourists, freebie-chasing locals, and pe...
This week, I’m reaching into the archives — like way back — to share something that means a lot to me. 8 years ago, I made a short film. I was fresh into the acting world, full of hope, nerves, and a deep sense of “who even am I?”
As a young Aussie actor, I quickly discovered that being born here didn’t always mean I “looked” the part. I wasn’t the stereotypical blonde-haired, blue-eyed beach boy — and that realit...
Why haven’t we found aliens yet? Like, seriously—where is everyone?
In this episode, I dive into the Fermi Paradox, which is basically a fancy way of asking: If the universe is so big and full of stars, why does it feel like we’re the only ones home? I break it down in the simplest way possible—no science degree required.
Whether you’re an alien enthusiast, a deep thinker, or just curious about our place in th...
So there I was, minding my own business in the gym sauna, when in walks a man who looked exactly like Daniel Craig. The piercing blue eyes. The chiseled jaw. The undeniable aura of someone who’s either saved the world or at least ordered a very specific martini. But when I casually asked, “Are you…?”, he hit me with some Oscar-worthy improv: “Oh no, I’m just a professional poker player.” Mate… that’s literally too clo...
Welcome to this week’s off-the-wall episode, where we dive into one of Sydney’s most infamous and utterly baffling cases. First, we revisit the legendary scandal when a mystery culprit turned a customer’s ice cream into an unappetizing surprise—an act of pure mischief that erupted after a family grumbled about the pub’s blaring music and a missed football match on TV.
The plot thickened when, just as the ice crea...
