Ep. 281 - Uncle Jacko

Alpha Blokes' first Double Champ and Yarn of the Year Winner, Matt "Uncle Jacko" Jackson joins us for an absolute ripper of a yarn. Making the trip from Gulgong, Jacko takes us through starting to work towards going full time with his timber business, JAM timber Co. before informing us of why he's scared of planes: by watching a crop-duster crash into a Ferris wheel. Being from the Mudgee area, the boys dabble in a bit of wine chat, including Jacko's stint as a bartender at one of the local wineries. Uncle bought the boys some brand new cowboy hats, so they run through the legend that made them and the process of keeping them fully Australian made. To wind down the yarn, Jacko takes us through his two near death experiences, the heartwarming story of the birth of his Daughter and how he copped the illustrious Hello Sport Baggy Green before wrapping up with the guest questions. Was great to finally get this mad unit on for a chat after hearing him pepper our ears with yarns of the highest quality for so long. Enjoy trendsetters!
