Ep. 256 - Fez The Free Range Pig Farmer

The one you've all been waiting for. Fez, The Free Range Pig Farmer, joins us for a 3 and a half hour yarn. Well overdue this one, we kick off with what we've all been up too together on his visit here and then dive straight into how our relationship all began: our callout to Guinea Pigs and Fez's return serve as a salt of the earth free range guineapigman. In the first hour, this leads to how he started the hobby farm, the variety of animals on there and the weirdest critters his ever seen in his experience as an all around wildlife carer in Gippsland thus far. The second hour kicks us off with his normal 9-5, how he got his trade, the reasons why he's stuck to it for so long (except for the time he had a stint as a stripper) and his career in country footy before travelling Europe and participating in Pamplona, the great bull run in Spain. The final third of the yarn we finish off with his other hobbies, including his love for fishing, Go-Pro and drone filmography and how these resulted in some rather negative experiences in traditional media, but then turned around to one of the largest growing positive social media presences in the past couple of years with his adventures with his family on the hobby farm. Was an absolute honour to get this man on the couch, and as we said, it won't be the last. Enjoy trendsetters!
