• 0:15
  Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks and just neglecting Fatty
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Harps in the You projects selfishly all about her spiritual
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: journey and her quest in far away lands. It's back
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: kind tiff High Harps.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: You know my biggest regret. I don't know if I
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: said a big enough goodbye because I'm different to the
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: person who left and she's never coming back.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Wow, what part of you have you left behind? This
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: is good. This is a philosophical start.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I left a lot behind.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: We actually did a ritual where we burned what no
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: longer served us in a ritual on the mountain. We
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: left it on the mountain. Oh, I've got goosebumps as
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I say.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That now without divulging, you know, any thing too personal,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But fuck it, We're all families, so divulge away. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: if you're uncomfortable sharing, still share because it makes for
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a good podcast. What tell us maybe one thing that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you needed to let go of or stop doing or
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: fucking ditch out of your emotional, bloody bag of tricks.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you too. I'll tell you two of the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: things that I that I wrote down that I let
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: go on the mountain, and that was what Number one
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: was shame and number two was the need for everybody
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: else to believe in me. And I reckon they're too
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that have really had a lot of impact on me.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It was quite crazy, you know, the moment just before
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I did it. I didn't plan this, but I I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: had a moment where I had gratitude for those things
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and whatever their purpose was up until the point of going,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I don't need them anymore. So it was big goosebumps.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: There was lots of tears for everybody.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Well, that's bloody amazing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And I brought some of the mountain back with me
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in my suitcase.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw a bit of a post. I don't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: know that that's totally legal. I don't know that i'd
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: be putting that on public display. I'm not sure that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you're allowed to bring back organic material from the other
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: side of the world. I'm no bloody you know, international
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: whatever they are those blokes at those ladies at the airport.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you and I are going to have a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: big chat. We might do a whole episode and debrief
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: your trip and talk about you know, breaking down and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: breaking through like breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs, some of the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: best breaks of all time. So let me introduce our guests.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So Jan and I and Fraser have been friends of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: mine for a very long time. Well, I won't do
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: too much of an intro because you'll get to know
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: them as we talk. But some of you already know
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: them because one you we've got a lot of listeners
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that listen to this that actually personally know them. Two
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they've already been on the shows, but it was a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: very long time ago. I'll find out minute, maybe four
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: or five years ago. But the rest of you are
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: going to meet them now. So I'm really happy to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the podcast. We'll start with the chatty one,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the super chatty one. We'll start with Jan because otherwise
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: she'll talk over the top of Aean like the dominatrix
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that she is. Hello, Jenny, Dot's forget all.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: About me, because I'm far more interested in what Tiff
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: has to say. I think that sounded wonderful, Tiff.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I want to know what you're burnt, but I want
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: to know in detail. You've got to do it. You
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: want to do a podcast on that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Gosh, yeah, she does. Well it's like I've seen, isn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it interesting? Jenny? Hello, Hello, Ian. We'll say hello to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you mate before we bet.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I am here, I am here?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we know you're here now. You two hit
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: momentary fame the other day when we had coffee. Monday.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: We're recording this Monday? Was it last Monday? We did
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: coffee Jenny Friday, Friday morning, Oh Friday, just gone, What
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the fuck do I know? So three days ago. By
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the way, this is a swearing podcast, so I feel
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: free to open the swearing door. There is no swear jar.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: In fact, you have to put two bucks in and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: if you don't swear through the podcast, it's something of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a different concept. But we met on Friday, that is correct,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Friday morning. We had a coffee and I had a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: chat with you. If you don't follow me on Facebook, folks,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: where you can either follow me or momentarily follow me,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: go and have a look on my personal page. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: there's already seven over seven thousand people that have had
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a bit of a squizz at Jan and E and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: having a chat to me over the bloody morning coffee table,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and it was so interesting and I got I literally
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: got emails and messages and dms from people going, you've
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: got to get them on the show, and I went, well,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they've already been on the show, but we'll get them back.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: What is it like to you, Jan, to think that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: seven thousand plus people listen to you to chat like,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: isn't it a weird age that we live in?
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: To tell me about it? I can't believe it. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: mean I was a bit concerned that. You know. Well,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: when I saw my sister.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Later in the day, I said, look, we had coffee
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: with Craig Harper and look we had she said, oh god,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you're you're you know, you're a big sort of boring.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Is that all you talked about?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: There?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: You go?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I thought, you know, And then I got the text
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: from you telling me, you know, six five of all
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I think it was only five thousand people at that
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: stage had tuned into.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Us, And I said, good grief, look at this goodness?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: So yes, isn't it a weird age within within within.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Which we live, Jenny, when you grew up like you
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and you and Frase everyone I call ian phrase, But
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: so if I if I forget to say, but you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and Frase grew up like you went to school in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the forties, right, the nineteen forties. Now we're in the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: two thousand and twenties.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to throw you under the bus, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you're both old as fuck. I think that's not a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: state secret. Could you do you ever have imagined in
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: when you guys were teenagers what was going on in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the world that you would be like talking like even
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: now to a bloke that you can see and hear
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: on a computer. I mean, I could be in New York.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I happened to be in Hampton. But how crazy is
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it that from where you came to what the world
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is now?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I know, it really is quite unbelievable, isn't it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Like I don't know whether like it's just an example.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Like I remember when my mother died and you know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I did the eulogy, and you know, we were talking
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: about and I said, you know, she'd lived through the Depression,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: she'd lived through tours.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Try to compare that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Now with well wars of course, But just the example
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: of the technical of the technical age is technicological era
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: in which we live.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Like my friend Rosie lives in London.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to her face timed her the other night,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: like it's been chatting, like she's in the next doorhouse,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: so I know exactly what you're saying.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: It's extraordinary and I think, you know, I.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Can actually see you and tip and you know, I
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: think it's it is quite well.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I'd like to.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Think that I'm reasonably or literally say talk about blood
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: its And then we struggle to get onto the podcast today,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: but generally we're all right, but put anything wrong, absolutely
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: cletely stuffed, like I look at them and think, well
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: that's it. I've got no idea. I've got no idea,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: And then Ian will say, well fuck, do I know
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you know that's what he usually says sometimes standard you know, so.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, extraordinary.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: What do you phrase? Can you tell us about? So
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you're eighty six, she said the day when we did
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: our little video. So am I guessing you were born
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in like what nineteen thirty seven or eight or something?
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Thirty eight great nine thirty eight eight?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Could you tell us a little bit about growing up
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in the late thirties and forties, Like, what do you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: remember from your childhood?
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Well, the first thing I can remember, you know, apart
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: from being in a pusher, and I can remember that,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: you know, my parents taking us on the holidays. But
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: my everlasting memory around that time, around the time of
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: probably around nineteen forty two, forty one forty two, was
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: when the war had started, and how my parents were
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: billiting American marines. So we had all these Yanks, you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: staying in the house, sleeping on the floor and sleeping
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: here and sleeping there. And the other thing I can
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: remember is we had blackouts because I think the fear
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: was that German planes were going to come over or
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: Japanese planes are going to come over and vomits. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: cars were driving around with their lights sort of didn't
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: and blacked out. Now that's probably hard for young people
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: today to sort of think back to that era, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: they were my first memories.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, do you remember what school was like? Praise? Do
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you remember? Because you went to obviously school in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: forties and fifties, and I know that grade three was
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the best four years of your life. But do you
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: remember do you remember going to school and what that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: was like, because it's vastly different now.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Absolutely yeah, I didn't. Really.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: I wasn't a good student, but I enjoyed going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: school because going to school met. I mean, you met
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: all your friends. You know, you could muck around and
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: you can do this, and we did a lot of
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: mucking around and gotten a lot of trouble. But I
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: suppose in retrospect, I did enjoy the school of years,
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: even though you know, I left school a four year
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: or a year.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Alone, so I didn't go on there. I enjoyed it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Were you an academic, Jenny, Were you a little bit
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: more studious than your offsider?
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Look, I might have been.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I mean I grew up in an Irish Catholic family,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and I went to a Catholic school and Catholic high school.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I left school at.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: When I was fifteen, going on sixteen in year ten,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: which was then.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Like Form four for me, because my father said.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Well, girls don't need an education because they just get married,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: so you know that's good, So my must've met. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: always did feel that after a while a bit sort
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: of left out, and that's how I went back to school.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I went back to school and did my VC when
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I was forty.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Went to university, which was pretty terrific really for me then.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I didn't really aim to go
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: to university. I just wanted to do Year twelve because
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I needed to sort of think I had that under
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: my that I'm when I felt more confident. That sounds silly,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: it doesn't it, But honestly, it was the best thing
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I ever did. It was wonderful. I loved it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: How old were you when you did Year twelve?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Forty?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: That's amazing? And so did you go to school, like
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: did you go and sit with a seventeen year old?
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Or I went to No?
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: No, I went to adult education, right, and that was
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: just a class with people like me. Yeah, and then
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: a couple of us went on to university.
• 12:13

  Speaker 6: and they were sort of glued together with all sort
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: of bits and pieces, terrible breaks, terrible steering.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: They're worth of fortune.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Now you know, a good one you'll pay probably seventy
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: eighty ninety grand for But that was my first car,
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: and I.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Remember you remember? Do you remember what you paid for it?
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: I probably paid about I think it was two hundred
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: and twenty pounds from memory.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Was that second hand on you?
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: That was secondhand?
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: And that was when I was, when I just turned eighteen,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: So what's that thirty eight fifty six? And of course
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: the cap breaking down? And in those days, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: all kids like my age, we all had cars and
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: they're all old bombs, but we all learned a lot
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: about mechanics, you know, how to fix things, because if
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: you didn't learn, you know, your car would break down
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: and you couldn't fix anything. We're fucking around with carburettors
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: and changing points in the distributor, and these days kids
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: wouldn't know what points and carburettors even are, changing wheels
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: and so you know, I had a lot of fun
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: out of that car.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure. And Jenny, do you remember, did you two?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Was the first house that you owned once you'd gotten married,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: or did one of you by property before he got Well?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: How old were you when you got married? And when
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: did you have your first when did you buy your
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: first time?
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Well, it was in nineteen sixty seven and I was
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: twenty seven, and we didn't buy a house until nineteen
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: seventy three. So we lived in a flat up first
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: of all, and then we had this weird idea that
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: we were going to build a house, and we were
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: going to build it in Mount Eliza, and Ian worked in.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Where you Blackburn, and so.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: We thought, oh, look we'll rent in Mount Eliza to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: make sure that you know we're okay with it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Thank god we did. So.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: We didn't last very long in Mount Eliza and we
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: sold it sold at the block and we bought a
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: house then further into closer to town, into bo Morris.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Wow, can I be rude? How much did you pay
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for your first house in nineteen seventy three?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Forty thousand dollars? And yeah, I mech it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: We've often talked about it, but I'm quite sant that
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: interest rape when were seventeen percent?
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I was terrible, wasn't it?
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: There? It was?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I remember I moved to Tazzy when I was five
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: or six years old, son sixty eight, and Mum and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Dad bought a house in Linda's Barn on what was
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: then called Main Road. It's now called East Durwin Highway,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think. And this house, which overlooked the Derwent River,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: cost eleven thousand dollars and I thought, oh my, how
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: rich are we that we can buy a house for
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I remember thinking I didn't really understand what even one
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars meant, but that our house cost eleven thousand dollars,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And I remember thinking, my Mum and dad, we must
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: be rich because look at what we're buying. Is it
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like you think, what's that's a good dinner now? Eleven
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars? Just a few people? Well not really, but
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: not far from it?
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Can I just interrupt there?
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: With the living in Matalizer, we decided early on that
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: we were going to buy a block of land and build,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: and we did. We bought a three quarter two thirds
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: of an acre block, lovely block up at the top of.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: The hill, got a house.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Designs didn't like the design, so I threw a friend
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: designed the place for a house myself. Didn't all work
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: out anyhow. I bought an old house because we decided
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: we'd use old timbers on old bricks. I bought a
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: house in Brighton. They were Reckon, which was made of
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: old what they called black Hawthor bricks, which are those
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: beautiful old brown black spots in them. See them around
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: the customer. But a lot of the brick companies have
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: tried to duplicate them. But the original ones are terrific. Anyhow,
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: I bought all these blocks. I had about twenty thousand bricks,
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: got them all moved down to a block a matallizer
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: sat there. We decided that it was too far and
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: we had to sell, so I had to get rid
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: of the bricks.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Didn't know what to do.
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: I was down at Portsy one day valuing a customer's
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: boat of the day. Went for a bit of a drive,
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: saw a block of land. Thought that's interesting. Bought the block,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: shifted all of bricks down there, and built a house
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: in Portsy, which we had for thirty something years.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: How much you pay for that block?
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Then the block in Portsy? I think I paid. God,
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: I can't remember.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Jan isn't that interesting because it was wasn't much.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: No, it was about four four thousand.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: I think it's about four grand.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: And we built this. I designed the house copy copying
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: a lot of a friend's house, and I subcontracted the
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: whole thing and used old timbers. We used the old
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: timbers out of the jam factory. In my businesses, I
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: had a Tony Wheel and was one of my clients
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: and in the w record wheel in the Wreckord and
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: I said to Tony, I said, look, I'm looking for
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: some big timber beams to use for the roof beams.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: He said, oh yeah, I'll get back to you. And
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: I heard nothing. That about a month later he said, look,
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: we just wreckon parts of the jam factory and we've
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: got all these big eleven by four that's eleven inches
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: by four inches beams. You better get your trailer and
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: go there and grab them. So I did, and we
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: used those in the house. I bought the roof of
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: an old cat church in Richmond which had beautiful slate
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: on it, and I got all that slate and got
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: an old guy who was really an expert to lay
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: it all on the floor. So the whole floor of
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: the house it was. What I built, was on a
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: concrete slab and we used the slate to pay.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: The whole house was fantastic.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: So you know that that sort of all started at
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: the Mountaalizer Adventure.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: That house a block of land in Portsy for four grand.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That's the locket, like it depends where it is, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: just a block of land is going to be a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: million bucks or more down there. I want to you
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: went there.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: I think you went there.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I went there. I remember it
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: was beautiful. All right, Let's let's fast forward a little bit.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: This is a dumb question, but it's not. It's kind
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of so. It's my birthday the other day and I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: turned sixty one, right, and I don't like for me.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: It feels so strange to say that, because you know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: like this is another dumb thing. But I've only ever
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: been me, so I've never felt what it's like to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: be anyone else, but like mentally, emotionally, physically, socially. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: don't know what I thought I would feel like at
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: sixty one, but I definitely I definitely don't feel my
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: age right. And that's not ego or anything. I just
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: don't know what I thought I would feel like at
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: sixty one. But I still feel like my brain is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the same as when I was forty, maybe even better.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I still have great energy, I still train every day.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I'm still excited about life. I'm still ambitious, I've still
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: got purpose, I've got heaps of shit to look forward to.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful. What does it feel like? Let's start with you, Janny.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: What does it feel like to be in your eighties? Like,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: did you have any expectation, like do you. I know
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: it's just a number, but it's allo. I'm more than that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It's a physiological reality of aging. How do you feel.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I mean I would say the same as you. I reckon,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just as good as I always was, you know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: on the floor at Harper's there and bluff puff right,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I reckon, I can still do it, do it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Although the knees creak a bit, but that's that's nothing. No,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: It's I don't know that I would feel that I
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: feel any different. I mean, I mean, I still, you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: love life. I'm still get excited. I'm still probably a
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: bit ambitious and would love to do more voice.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: You know, they all look at her and you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: think god, you know, she's been around for so long.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: But then I never think about that, you know, I think,
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: well I could have done that, you know.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So I feel like you, yeah, do you Now? I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just want to talk a little bit about the workout stuff,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: because obviously I'm me, and so everyone knows my background
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and everyone knows I'm kind of the exercise bloke. Call
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that's part of who I am. Anyway, and we did
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: talk about it on the video the other day, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: rays we spoke about the fact that let's talk about you.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: So you do when you can, you do when the
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: weather's right. You do stand up paddle board twice a week.

• 26:32
  Speaker 1: You get out on your bike for about three quarters
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: an hour several times a week, and you go to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the gym and you split your body. You train up
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a body one day and lower body than next. Did
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I miss anything out.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: No, I think that's pretty much it, Craig, that's the
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: exercise Rosime.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And I remember in the old days, not even that,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: even when you're in your mid seventies. I remember one
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: day you're doing lap pool down with nearly one hundred
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: kilos and you were seventy four or seventy five and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you were lifting almost one hundred kilos or maybe even
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: one hundred. How much can you lap pull down these days?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: At eighty six?
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: I was doing them yesterday. Actually, I think I was
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: using about seventy that's seventy that's amazing.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Can you still do chin ups?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: Yeahs. Chune ups have always been my favorite. I can
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: do I do twenty six chins. I do a dozen
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: and then I have a wrist. I do eight, and
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: I have a wrist, and then I can do another six.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: You do hang on, hang on, hang on now, I'm
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: not kidding you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: No, I know you don't think I've seen you a
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: film of him doing them in the Danny Frawley gym.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, one of you when.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I said, well, he's the old block of a eighty
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: something he's doing.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you got me covered. That's fucking embarrassing. I'm
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: going to have to go to room of mirrors and
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: have a good hard look at myself.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't have men it tif you better cut that better?
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, let's just for my self esteem otherwise on that. Yeah,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: so you are still on your first set of chin ups?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: You do twelve, mate.
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: I can do twelve, it look to be honest. The
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: last couple, you know, I struggle a bit. No, I
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: don't get the bar of the chin. You know, probably
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: get it to before we're head or something like that,
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: but you know it is a chin.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I was going to invite you in for a workout,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: but you can stay the fuck away with your twelve chins.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm struggling at the moment because I heard my shoulder.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: When I was screing in New Zealand back in August,
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: I had a bit of a I've stuffed up my
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: left shoulder, so I hadn't done chins and I just
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I thought yesterday I better have a bit of a try.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: So I got half a dozen out and it started
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: to hurt a bit, so I thought I'd better stop.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: You might look after that. And also, when you're riding
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: out on the road, are you riding a mountain bike,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you're riding a road bike. What are you riding now?
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: I ride a mountain bike, Craig. And you know, as
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: I said, I don't go out for long. I said
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: three quarts of earlier the day I was out for
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: million hour a day.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Actually, but.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: I haven't met up in the hills for a while.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: When I say we're a couple of mates and a
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: son Jonathan, we're very keen mountain bike riders up in
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: the hills.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: And in Melbourne you've got Listerfield Park, which is from here.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: It's only three quarters of an hour away and that's
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: where they had the Commonwealth mountain Bike competition. So there's
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: still a course there that they used, which is quite challenging.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: So you know, that's that's a real workout on the
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: mountain bike up there.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine, and I will the imagine because
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not going up there, Janny, can I tell you?
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Sorry Cratis, let me interrupt. One day I was talking
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: to the crab Viking and he said, oh, I'd like
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: to he'd been writing down at his property and I
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: was talking abouts. I said, well, why don't you come up?
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: And he came up with us and we rode around,
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: and I must admit I did boot him on the hills.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: He was even struggling on some of those steep hills,
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: which was embarrassing.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Sorry interrupted, That is noted, that's fucking He has told
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: me that story with great humility and respect for you. Yeah. Yeah, no,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: he told me, Well, the crab, of course, everyone is
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: my training partner, who is a was a world class
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: professional bodybuilder, also quite fit, but not in the end
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Fraser category. Janny, we spoke about it the other day.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: But just tell my listeners who didn't hear, which would
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: be most of them, what your exercise regime looks like
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: these days? Please?
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I do, I do like to lift weights. So
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I always think that's very important in our lives, particularly
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: as we get older. So I do that three times
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: a week. I train with a friend one day and
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I go to the gym another two times. And I
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: also I do a boxing still. I love to box
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: with them step tives of box the two I love
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I love It, I love it and one about harvest

• 31:53
  Speaker 3: and of course it's a fabulous training ground, as you know,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: you know, doing a bit of sand walking, doing a
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: bit of uphill on the ramps.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: And you know, getting your heart rate up.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: So that's that's a very important part of what I
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: do as well. But so like and you know, I
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: usually try to do something every day. I might have
• 32:10

  Speaker 1: if I knew that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: You stopped us. I think we then we used to.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: We used to start off in the gym do emb
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: down in Hampton Street.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Eighty eight.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about groups right? It was a group, yes,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: oh yeah group. Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking cheapest. But but
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: at one stage I can't remember when you probably can
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: better than me. But I think you and I had
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a conversation and you said something like I wish I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: was or if I was younger, I would have become
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a trainer, and you were in your fifties maybe at
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: that stage. And then did I say, we'll go and
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: get qualified and then you can work work with me.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Did it go something like that?
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: It went very similarly, yes, yes, yes, yes, And I
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: came to you and said, look, I've done all the
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: training now and I just wonder if you'd mind if
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I did my work experience here and that was in
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Bluff Road, and God, I loved it, loved it, loved it,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: loved your training, loved it the whole thing.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: The whole thing. I loved it all and never looked back.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Really with great moved in at Then I became a trainer,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: a proper trainer. Then I had a client and said,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: do you think I can bring I've got a client.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I've got a friend who'd liked to train. Is that
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: all right if I bring her? And you said, yeah, yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: that's fine, you bring her along.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: At what age did you start training people professionally at
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: the first time, I was fifty Craig, Oh wow, I
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: thought you were a little bit older. But that's amazing still.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: So if you're out there and you're thinking I might
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: become a trainer, I might become anything, and I might.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: You know, Jenny did Year twelve at forty, she did,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: she did UNI after that, she became a trainer in
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: her fifties. And when did you stop training people? Because
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that long ago.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Well, only COVID.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Stopped us all in our tracks, really, but i'd actually
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I was actually just training a few people are there
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: in their homes then, so actually I'd actually sort of
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: gone off from the gym floor, so I wasn't sort
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: of training. And then I gave all my clients to
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: a friend, and then I just the few that I
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: could help at home. You know that's worked well, you
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: know until you know COVID hitch and sort of stopped
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: to fit things really didn't it well?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: I did put the brakes on a lot of things
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: going on in the world I want to talk to
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you about. So in the health wellness space, now this
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: is not new, but it's just becoming more known. I
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: think like there's a lot more awareness around the idea
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: of like when we used to talk about what makes
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: people healthy, wo'd go, you know, good food, exercise, not
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: too much booze, you know, a sleep, like, a good lifestyle,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: all that, And now we know that like social connection, belonging,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: having purpose, having a reason, all these things that are
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: not you know, food, exercise, booze related, but more about
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: emotion and psychology. Am I love? Do I have connection?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Do I belong to a group? Does anyone give a
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: fuck about me? Do I have something to do today that?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Do I have something of value and purpose to do?
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Tell me about your thoughts either one of you around,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: because I know you are both very busy and you
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: have great social lives and you're still ticking boxes and
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: achieving things and have a focus.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: We have three kids who are really the nastest people
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: you could ever wish to meet, and then they're in
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: turn married with families, so we have a really great
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: relationship with the family, with our grandchildren and you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: with the partners, etc. So I do think that's sort
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: of a starting point for us, because that's.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Really very important.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: We just seem to have that wonderful connection kids coming
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: in and out, kids coming to stay, grandchildren coming to
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: stay or something. But you know, that's that's very important.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: But then on the other hand, then it's the sort
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: of the other connection, and we've we are lucky. We've
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: got a lovely group of friends and that you know
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: that we see you know, we still have people for
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: dinner or we go there, or you know, we meet
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: out do you.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Know, meets people for lunch or something.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: And I've got a lot of lovely group of friends
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: that I girlfriends, you know, that that I walk with
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: or that I have coffee with. And it's look wonderful.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Love it what about you, old fella, have you got
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: any you I think you just seem busy just doing
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: shit all the time.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Well, I think over the years, exercises probably almost dominated
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: my life. I can remember, you know, in the early
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: days of the Surf Club, you know, going back when
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: I was eighteen twenty five, you know, I used to
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: do a favorite of running. And then when I when
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: I have the various business businesses, I'd always put aside
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: probably an hour a day or close to it to exercise.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: I just say to the staff, look, I'm going for
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: a run. We had we had our business was out
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: in Blackburn on stage, I'd run around the Blackburn Lake
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: and the s and then when we were down at
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: the Pattison River, you know, I'd run down to the
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: beach and run along the beach. So I would always
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: put aside some time to exercise and think. And I
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: still do that. How can I fit something in today?
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: What's on today? Look at the diary? When can I
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: have time.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: To go to the gym, go for a bike ride?
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Do there? So I think that's that's been very important
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: in my life.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: And You've always been very handy phrase which has been
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: handy for some of the Harpest stuff. When something breaks
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: at your house, are you the guy that Are you
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: still the guy that fixes it?
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, I really am.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: I can fix most things except electrical. I won't touch
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: anything electrical for obvious reasons. But you know, charging tests
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: and washes and all that sort of stuff. And you know,
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: jenneal often say something is not working or broken. I
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: can usually fix it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Now, Jenny, I know you love training with Silvio, who
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: also used to be a Harperst trainer, and you do
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: some boxing, but Tiff up there. Not only does Tiff
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: do a bit of boxing, but Tiff is actually a
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: boxer and has fought in the ring lots of Can
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you see that picture behind her of the boxer on
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the hole, Yeah we can, that's herrilous I reckon you
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: two girls might have to get together, just you know,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: just a one just cheating behind your trainers back and
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: do a session with Tiff Tiff, could we?
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: I'd love that?
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Well. I was already gonna ask you to come and
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: hang out and have coffee with me because I feel
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: envious that Harps and you guys caught up recently.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: If you promise to tell me about what you're burnt
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: on the mountain. Yeah, I'd love it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Lock it in, lock it.

  Speaker 1: appreciate you too. I so love catching up with you,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: love having you in my life, even though we don't
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: spend enough time together. Thanks for the coffee the other
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: day and the chat. And it's funny how I don't
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: think you realize because you're so both grounded, down to
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: earth humble. You know, people are so inspired by you,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: and I know you don't feel inspirational because it's just
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: you just doing what you do, but without sounding cliche
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: or too self helpy. You are really an inspiration because
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: you know most people. Firstly, most people don't. This sounds bad,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: but it's just true. The average life expectancy is younger
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: than both of you, like I think for women it's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: eighty two in Australia and minutes like eighty. And you
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: guys look like you're going to be going strong for
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: another twenty years. So it's so inspirational. And you know,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: thanks for coming to chat with us on the You Project, Jenny,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: And do you want to leave our listeners with any
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: words of I don't know, inspiration or insight.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Can I just say that thank you for those kind words.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: That's that's really lovely. But I don't want anybody to
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: out there to think that we're smug or that you know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: we think that we're better than anybody else. I tell you, okay,
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: and every day is a new day.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: You just story?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Can you just can you just start again from just
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: because it cut out, so just go back to I
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: tell you like I tell you ye.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Well, I just wanted to say that I didn't want
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: any of your people listening to think that we're pains
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: in the art or a bit smug and you know
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: that we're we're up ourselves at all, because really that's
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: not so. We we treasure every day. We know that
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: we're getting to the pointy end, and and you know
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: we we we're very aware of that, and each day
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: is a new day and we treasure that new day.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 1: I love that. What about you, you old bugger? Are
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: you just going to go and fix something now?
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Probably go.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: I'd just like to say anyone that is listening to
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: this podcast, if you know you you aren't happy with
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: your your business, or your diet or your life regime,
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: it's pretty easy to fix, really, is people sort of
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: over complicate things, I think. But all you've got to
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: do is is either a healthy diet, do some exercise.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: You don't have to be your maniac about it. For
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: a walk.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: And you know it's so easy, Craig, and you know
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: so many people they put all the excuses up, you know,
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: I haven't got time and I'm too busy and you
• 43:33
