Are You Bogged Mate?

If you have ever stopped in at the Hebel Pub on the Qld/NSW border, you will most likely have tripped over Johnny Geach on your way to the bar.

From Bullocks to Broncos, this legendary Ringer of the past has tamed them all.

He's part of the furniture... and in this episode, pulls up a bar stool alongside Mary in the Hebel pub, his natural habitat, as she captures his story.

Strap in for this one. 2 of Australias strongest minds when it comes to Mens Mental Health.

Mary Obrien and Gus Worland (Gotcha 4 Life) get together and chat through experiences they have both had on the road and what they have learned in helping blokes from the Outbak to the City, and how the backgrounds may be different, yet the stroies are all but the same.

This episode is a ripper Meeting of the Minds.

Peter Frazer, or Fraze... is a lifelong mate of Marys. They worked together in the DPI for a number of years.

Fraze was pivotal in the TB eradication program working as a Stock Inspector, testing up to 1000 cattle a day on properties where those

cattle could be spread across 3/4 of a Million acres.

His career was nothing short of a steep learning curve having to work on diseases from the Hendra Virus to the Equine Flu... even Prawn Spot.

He shares a passion for Bush Poetry with Mary, who wraps up this chat with a very fitting tribute to Fraze through her own poetry.

At age 24, while his mates were out playing sports and living life, Dane Lyons was

260+ KGs, couldn’t walk more than 200m and was getting quotes for mobility scooters.

Dane’s story of transformation to sub 100kgs is a true inspiration.

He was putting away the food and booze at a rapid rate of knots, going from a bottle of spirits a day and having flap jacks for tits (his own words), to competing on the world stage in Transformational Body Building.

Mary hooks into a no Bullshit chat with Dane with brilliant insights, inspiration and principles for not only anyone struggling with their own weight, but for life in general.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Steve Whillas is an unsung hero of the Eyre Peninsula (E.P), Driving up driveways and helping farmers get shit off thier chest and 'Out of their Bucket'.

On Marys recent 5000km+ round trip to the edge of the Nullabor and back (in a week), she not only put on a couple of talks alongside Steve, but then sat down with him to talk about how he is making a difference just by being there for the Farmers of the E.P, and the 'Shopping List' of injuries that has put life into perspective for him.
