In today's episode...

G’day, you mob! In this week’s episode, Pete is diving headfirst into a ripper of a video called “25 Things That Only Happen in Australia” from The Bright Side. Is it all true, or is it a bit of a furphy? Pete’s here to set the record straight!

Join us as we talk about everything from a bloke trying to sell New Zealand on eBay to the surprising story behind the Sydney Opera House. We’ll find out if “Rent a Grandma” is actually a thing (Pete’s still not convinced!) and why you won’t get fined for not voting, but for not rocking up at all. Plus, we’ll expose a few classic tourist pranks, like the truth about drop bears, and Pete will have a good old chinwag about Aussie slang, food, and the mystery of the Ugg boot.

It’s a proper bonza episode, full of laughs, fact-checking, and a fair bit of Aussie charm. Don’t be a dropkick—have a listen to the full episode and find out how much of what you think you know about Australia is actually true. You won’t want to miss it!
