Bubba Tilley : Divorce or Phuket?

from Proper True Yarn Hosted by Proper True Yarn: Comedy, Storytelling, Adventure

In Episode 5 - Part 5 of the "Proper True Yarn" podcast, Bubba Tilley unfolds a yarn so wild it almost led to divorce! Two years ago, during a golf trip to Hamilton Island, Bubba's father-in-law purchased a horse named Flop Turn River. On that very day, Bubba took a ride on another horse, but things took a disastrous turn when the horse threw its head back, breaking Bubba's hand. Despite his pleas, his wife didn't believe him until a hospital visit revealed his shattered hand needed surgery and a cast.Enter Bubba's mate Kurt Kapewell, who suggested they attend the horse race featuring Bubba's father-in-law's horse. In the six weeks Bubba was sidelined from racing, he embarked on a wild bender with his mates, ordering an extravagant array of cocktails at Portside. His intoxicated state led to a heated argument with his wife, resulting in her telling him not to come home if he was that drunk.So, what did Bubba do? He and his mates decided to book spontaneous tickets to Phuket, Thailand, while still inebriated. However, upon arriving at the airport, Bubba was so drunk that security prevented him from boarding the flight, all on a Sunday afternoon!The yarn takes a hilarious turn as Bubba and Knuckles delve into stories about accidents of another kind, sharing their experiences of "accidents" in public places. Knuckles recalls an incident in the streets of Thailand, while Bubba shares his own mishap driving through Toowoomba.But that's not all—Knuckles shares a memorable tale from his mining days involving a co-worker named Eddie, whose dedication to a game of darts took an unexpected and messy turn.The conversation then turns to polocrosse adventures while intoxicated, leading to some of the best games of Bubba's life. 📞 Get involved🎤 Send a voice message to the boys.
