Kamikaze Kangaroos!
Summary
Tony James Slater knew nothing about Australia. Except for the fact that he'd just arrived there. The stage is set for an outrageous adventure: three people, one van, on an epic, 20,000-mile road trip around Australia. What could possibly go wrong? Of course, the van - nicknamed "Rusty" - is a crumbling wreck, held together by the world's most garish paint job. They're crisscrossing the continent through some of the most inhospitable land on the planet - the infamous Aussie Outback. And isn't there something about Australian animals being...well, you know, kind of dangerous? Unprepared, underqualified, and hopelessly inept, Tony battles gigantic pumpkins, mechanical mishaps, and suicidal kangaroos, armed only with a thong and a sense of humor. His companions struggle to keep him safe while climbing in drag, snowboarding off cliffs, and hiking hundreds of miles through the bush. One thing's for sure; this "adventure of a lifetime" - if they survive it - is something they're never going to forget. So, scull those stubbies! Grab your galahs! And put down that platypus. Look out, Australiat! There's an idiot coming....

That Bear Ate My Pants!
Summary
There comes a time in every man's life when he says to himself, "Holy shit! I'm about to be eaten by a bear!" Tony James Slater went to Ecuador determined to become a man. It never occurred to him that "or die trying" might be an option.... The trouble with volunteering in a South American animal refuge is that everything wants a piece of you. And the trouble with being Tony is that most of them got one. Just how do you "look after" something that's trying its damnedest to kill you and eat you? And how do you find love when you A.) don't speak the language and B.) are constantly covered in excrement and entrails? If only he'd had some relevant experience other than owning a pet rabbit when he was nine. And if only he'd bought some travel insurance.... That Bear Ate My Pants! is the hilarious tale of one man's quest to better himself. Whether losing a machete fight with a tree, picking dead tarantulas out of a tank of live ones, or sewing the head back onto a partially decapitated crocodile, Tony's misadventures are ridiculous, unbelievable, and always entertaining. Long before Sky One got involved, there were already plenty of idiots abroad. This is the story of one of them.... This audiobook is now the first in a series following Tony's adventures through the UK and Thailand in Don't Need the Whole Dog! and around Australia in Kamikaze Kangaroos! They can be listened to separately or together just as easily.

Don't Need the Whole Dog!
Summary
In the summer of 2004, Tony James Slater went to Ecuador looking to become a man. Not all of him returned. But the bit that did was fueled by a burning desire to do...something. Something that mattered. And, ideally, to get the hell out of England in the process. His dream was to blatantly steal his friend Toby's dream - of escaping to Thailand and becoming a professional diver. But when a man like this goes on a search for adventure, it's bound to end in tears. And yet - what can actually go wrong? I mean, really? With renovating a house? With volunteering? With sailing? And selling your body to medical science? Surely, those are the kind of activities that any old idiot can pull off? But then, this isn't just any old idiot. This is Tony James Slater - the man who was carrying that jaguar when it woke up. And to make things worse - he's not alone.... So batten down the hatches! Lock up your power tools! And for gawd's sake, turn the electricity off. Because that idiot from Ecuador is back. And this time, he's brought the whole family....
