  • Mad, Bad, Luke Bona

    As a youngster, he burned down schools and shacked up with the teacher. As an adult, he runs the biggest and best podcast in Australia. Macca sounds like he gargles gravel but the man cave is the best. Get Jeff the pest on, he’s hilarious.

Country Music’s First Counterfeit Cowboy, Luke Discovers AirPods… & Littleproud Calls Bullsh*t on Speed Limits and Algae
Q: What do you think about the legacy of John Laws?
He had his moments; he could be both kind and very brutal, making listeners lean in because you never knew what he'd say next.
Country Music’s First Counterfeit Cowboy, Luke Discovers AirPods… & Littleproud Calls Bullsh*t on Speed Limits and Algae
Q: David, what are your thoughts on the proposed speed limit changes?
It's bullshit. They're making decisions without considering how it impacts drivers in rural areas, and it's actually about funding for road safety rather than genuine safety concerns.
Contrition Cop-Outs, Property Pain, & The Underground Plate Game No Ones Talking About
Q: What are your thoughts on the Home Deposit Scheme?
It's politically popular, but it's likely to increase housing prices as more buyers enter a limited market.

Yogi believes there's a growing recognition of the importance of truck drivers, even if there's still a long way to go.
