Yarn of the Year 2025 winner and a bloke with an incredibly dry wit that we love, Lukey Hopkinson joins us for a yarn.

We first crack into the yarn itself that won Luke the chance to come on the show and how he ended up blowing the ass end out of a toilet with makeshift shotgun shells out of soap, then follow into a bit of background about his family and the jobs he has done over the years before we find out that the bloke is an absolute killer on the dance floor and does plenty for the ballroom community in his local town. The guest questions produce some ripper answers and we were even able to help Luke out with a gift from the legends at SP Tools as he begins his fitting apprenticeship. This one was a great laidback yarn with a deadset legend and we appreciated Luke coming up for the day. Enjoy legends!
