Pecker wreckers and poisoned tea: Not For Radio’s wildest yarns of 2025

You lot are actually sick puppies. We thought 2024 was loose, but looking back at the list for 2025, it’s clear the Snipers have stepped it up a gear.
We’ve had injuries that defy medical science, public nudity in corporate settings, and a few yarns that we’re surprised didn’t get us in legal trouble.
It’s been a year of gold. Here are the 10 episodes that stopped the show in 2025:
1. Episode 544: Cat nicked the sack
Start as you mean to go on. This wasn't just an injury; it was a precision strike delivered by an unexpected domestic terrorist. The mental image of a bloke enjoying a moment of private downtime, only to be taken down by the family feline in the most delicate region imaginable, is too bloody good. Jay and Dunc could not keep their shit together as this yarn went on - an absolute pearler.
Also in this ep: Busting up your own car, ghost child, and Jay being an operator.
Listen here, or below.
2. Episode 551: Country singer Brad Cox - EXCLUSIVE EPISODE
Brad Cox isn’t just a musician; he’s a proper good bastard. We had a mean yarn with him - it was bloody good to have someone in the studio who could match the boys' energy. A certified classic of an episode!
Listen here Sniper Elite.
3. Episode 557: Pecker Wrecker
There are bad ideas, there are terrible ideas, and then there’s what unfolded in this war story. It starts with a bloke banged up from an ATV mishap, who then suddenly facies himself as a medic. Let’s just say this yarn involves a drill, and his Johnson… This absolutely buckled the lads, almost to the point of no return.
Also in this ep: Paranormal son, Sandwich or genius, Mufti Day, Dunc’s greened out photo and sleeping with a mate’s mum.
Listen here, or below.
4. Episode 579: D*ck out on a work call
The nightmare scenario. What started as a bit of harmless relationship banter with old mate’s downstairs friend spiralled into a full-blown horror show. Turns out he did not expect his most vulnerable asset to end up on display for her entire workplace. The sheer embarrassment and fear described in this yarn is hilarious. An absolute stitch-up of his own making.
Also in this ep: Two War Stories, Motorcross chat, Helicopter Rides, No One Else Like Me, Therapy chat and a bitta Bathurst.
Listen here, or below.
5. Episode 571: Laser-guided bomb
An extremely unreal version of ‘Introduce Yourself as What Almost Killed You’. As Jay reads the yarn, it feels like an actual movie plot. An actual soldier recounting a traumatic story for our entertainment - what a good bloke. This one is an absolute must listen.
Also in this ep: Taxidermy unboxing, a poem about NFR, a catfish at a US press conference, kids and technology, going to your mates’ parents' funeral, and feral tank water.
Listen here, or below.
6. Episode 556: Killed her with my c**k
A clumsy tumble following a steamy moment… and suddenly she’s not moving. For way too long. Our bloke genuinely thinks he’s cooked it in the worst way imaginable, and the panic that follows is absolutely priceless. To put the cherry on top, big dog Roger Farrelly joined us in the studio to read this bad boy out.
Also in this ep: Rog chats re Morning Rumble, how playing pool led to brain surgery, farting in the pharmacy, Theo Von’s incest advice, and how a bloke got electrocuted and blew his ass out.
Listen here, or below.
7. Episode 575: Knuckles and Kirb
Two absolute legends joined us in this episode: Knuckles from Country Trucker Caps and Proper True Yarn pod, and Kirb from our good mates the Two Flogs Pod. From Kirb speaking about his Kiwi experience, to Knuckles telling us about the time he told the Aus Prime Minister to f**k off, the entire yarn was elite.
Listen here, or below.
8. Episode 545: Hospitalised from feeding the chooks
No, this isn’t some bloke caught doing a dodgy backyard chore. This is a man hitting what he calls the “lowest point” of his life, all thanks to a self-imposed challenge involving an outrageous number of solo rounds in a single day. Fast forward, and well, the ending stays true to the episode title. Jay and Dunc were absolutely buckled trying to get through it.
Also in this ep: Quick beers, handling grief, wrong sayings, Krystal’s pie recommendations and weed cookies at Costco.
Listen here, or below.
9. Episode 566: Poisoned tea
Picture a bus driver who’s over his job, over his life, and very much over arguing with the missus. After one scrap too many, she hands him a cup of tea that instantly feels… suspect. A few sips later he’s crook, tingling, and on a fast track to the hospital. Surely the misso didn’t poision him? This yarn is out the gate!
Also in this ep: Mr Beast burger in NZ, crushed nuts on a motorbike, school lies and our childhoods, walking pad, Dunc’s moved house, Tiger Snake prank, and replacing movie titles with the word ‘wank’.
Listen here, or below.
10. Episode 549: Hidden in Butter
A flat game gone horribly rogue. The hiding spot of choice was ambitious, and had people eating crook sandwiches for three days straight. This chaotic yarn had Jay gagging! Love to see it.
Also in this ep: Naked run, born without an asshole, the most Aussie, Aussie ever, Trent from Punchy, insults for the vertically challenged and a story about James who almost died listening to NFR.
Listen here, or below.
If you've missed any of these, get them in your eyes and ears. And if you're the bloke with the cat injury - hope you've healed up, mate.
