00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 4: But that's not pain, is it. It's just a bit

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 4: uncomfortable when they hit one of those.

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,120

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: in the farm and he chopped the whole top of

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: his thumb off, and he came inside, cleaned it up,

37
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: grabbed some fishing line and sewed it back on, and

38
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: mum was mortified. Took him to the doctors, and the

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: doctor and ah, you've done a good job. Actually, and

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: his finger still works to this day.

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: It would look like Frankenstein or something, all patched.

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: It looks pretty many. But yeah, he put it back

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: on and he bragged about.

44
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, shame on the doctor as well for going one

45
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: last thing to do.

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: That he didn't.

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Actually he goes, oh, you've done a really good job.

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: It's all meting, okay, So yeah, we'll just leave it

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: and just sort of clean it up. Yeah, it's been

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,120

Speaker 4: So tell us your story.

124
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 11: My grandma, my great grandma, tough as nails, ran a

125
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 11: farm till nineties in her eighties. She heard a noise

126
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 11: in the night, got up. This guy's trying to break

127
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 11: into the house. As he's backing into the window, backing

128
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 11: through the window, she smacked him over the back of

129
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 11: the head with her walking stick, knocked him out. Gold

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 11: tied him up with the phone card and then realized

131
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 11: she couldn't call for help because she tides him up

132
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 11: with the phone. So then she just sat around and waited,

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 11: and every time he started waking up, she'd smack him again,

134
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 11: until her neighbor across the road woke up in the

135
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 11: morning and saw that she wasn't up and about and

136
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 11: came over to find out.

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 7: What was wrong.

138
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,680

148
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: On in Matt Christian And how are we yea now Matt?

149
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: Are you a country tough or is it a family member?

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: It's my brother's country tough. My family run a couple

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: of hundred acres in a beautiful pristine area tassy, and

152
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 5: a certain point on the on the fence line. The

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: electric fence unit is connected to the house, so it's

154
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 5: the strongest point on the fence. And the rule is

155
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: anytime we go out and do work, the fence gets

156
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: turned off. So we're out doing work and it was

157
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: getting late and we'd run out of bits and pieces

158
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: and my brother said, I'll go back, and Dad said

159
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,600
