Speaker 2: Yesterday we had so many great stories about why you

00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: had to cry for help and also you didn't notice

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:10,320

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: morning Christian. How I I'm good Rad? So why did

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 3: you have to cry it for help?

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: Mate? I was over a friend's house. A couple of

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: families got together and I was repairing the wall for them,

10
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: and in that process I was putting a timber in

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: the hole that I was repairing, and through that had

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: was a little bit too long. While holding the top

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: of it, I screwed through the plasta through the timbar

14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: straight into my finger. That bad screw then held my

15
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: I held myself in the wall.

16
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: I dropped you almost crucified yourself.

17
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much dropped the drop the drill and started

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: only out to people because they were having a good time,

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: having the future many drinks so on me. Then I

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: had to think to myself, what am I going to

21
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: do here? I was able to pick the drill back up,

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: put in reverse and unscrewed the wall. No, get myself

23
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: out of the actual hole. Digining about it was that

24
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the screw was that whole when it actually quarterized the

25
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: hole as it went in, So there's no blood, just

26
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: a great big hole in the finger.

27
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: This is an incredible story of what you've done.

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: And so yeah, it was. It was just a matter

29
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: of what am I going to do? I am stuck

30
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: in the hole, on this hole in the wall, and

31
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: no one can hear his screen, a bit like being

32
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: in space.

33
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: The building tray.

34
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: No one can need the screen. I'm like, yeah, help me.

35
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Not one person. I walked out of the room. I'm

36
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: like one of the people looked at me and I went,

37
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: I'll just screwed myself to the wall and what do

38
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: you mean?

39
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 5: And there is a great big hole in the finger

40
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 5: and yeah, trip to the to the doctors to find

41
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 5: out that it hit the bone, but didn't they do

42
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 5: damage and the Yeah, it just had to let a

Speaker 3: Yeah.

49
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Have to say the business that I did refurbishing houses

50
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: and that closed down very quickly after that.

51
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, lost the passion for it, really hung up. Those

75
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: Podcast asking you have you ever complained to a company?

76
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: Chrisha Oss bought a packet of chocolate covered snackies. They

77
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: were not supposed to have nuts in them, but there

78
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: was a sneaky chocolate coated peanut in there. Contact at

79
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: the company, they sent me a twenty dollar calls voucher.

80
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: Not bad, Not bad.

81
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: Chris and I also have contact to the telecommunication ombardsman

82
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: known as too to help deal with one of those

83
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: great phone companies. I'd moved house to location they didn't

84
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: have coverage for and I was trying to obviously cancer

85
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: my contract because I couldn't use the phone. They wanted

86
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: a ridiculous amount of money to exit the contract early.

87
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: It's like a divorce that it's probably easy to get

88
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: divorced to break up with your gym or a phone company.

89
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: After talking with the Ombardsman, not.

90
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: Only did they have to cancer my contract for free,

91
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: but had to refund two months payment as that's what

92
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: I've paid in time to the talk to try and

93
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: sort it out.

94
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: That reminds you of the time I tried to get

95
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: out of my internet contract. Is when I moved house.

96
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: I set up the all the motive and stuff, and

97
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: it didn't work. And I'm on the come phone with

98
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: the company for hours and they're trying to get to

99
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: works not working. I said, I think we just have

100
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: to quit it here. They said, no, before we can

101
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: give you a refund, you have to go and take

102
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: your modem to your neighbor's house and see if it works.

103
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: You've got to be that's ridiculous.

104
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 6: Oh my god on Earth.

105
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: I bet you've been to Ansman a couple of times, Pats.

106
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I went to the telecommunication on the Ombitsman when

107
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 6: we were working from home. I had drastic trouble with

108
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 6: our internet. We still were.

109
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: Drastic is another language. You're using complaint emails and phone calls, isn't.

110
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 4: It didn't the radio station end up buying you and

111
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: you like antenna or something to get better?

112
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 6: And no, there was talk of doing that because we

113
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 6: weren't yet on broadband out where we were where a

114
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 6: big and it was a nightmare. We were one of

115
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 6: the NBA on me not broadband.

116
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Broad motive.

117
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 6: Anyway, just trying to talk to a human to get

118
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 6: fixed was utterly impossible, and I had no other option

119
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 6: but to go to the Ombitsman and they sorted it.

120
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: No, you leave me with no. That's another thing. I've

121
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 3: said that before. You Well, you didn't mean no, option.

122
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: That's it.

123
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 7: My hands are tied just quickly.

124
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: Had a great call from Brendan, who had to go

125
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 4: to work. But he complained to a pizza company who

126
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 4: delivered the wrong pizzas, and they said, no worries, we'll

127
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 4: put it in the system. Next time you order, you

128
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: get two free pizzas. It never turned off. Every time

129
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: he ordered pizza from there, they went, it looks like

130
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 4: you got two free pizzas.

131
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: On the system. That guy's living the dream. Wow, goome

132
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 3: on in Teres.

133
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 7: Oh Christian, good morning. How are you all this morning?

134
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: Oh?

135
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: Terse were good? Who do you complain to? Teres?

136
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 7: Okay? So it was the customer of mine. I worked

137
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 7: in a well known department store in Melbourne in ladies

138
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 7: fashion in the imported and Australian designer section, and the

139
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 7: customer had I had older suit to her for her

140
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 7: son's wedding, which I might add cost five thousand dollars.

141
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 7: A couple of weeks later, I saw her come through

142
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 7: the elevated door with the bag in her hand. I

143
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 7: thought this is unusual. I had been serving her for

144
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 7: quite some time, so I went up to her and

145
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 7: I said, how are you? Is everything okay? She said, well,

146
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 7: actually no, I didn't wear the suit to my son's wedding.

147
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 7: I said, why, what happened? She said it has a

148
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 7: very peculiar smell. I said really. She says, yes, you

149
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 7: can't smell it here, but as soon as you put

150
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 7: it on, you can smell it. I said, look, I'll

151
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 7: get it, thought it for you. I will send it

152
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 7: to quality control. There is such a thing, and see

153
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 7: what they come back with. Sure enough, get ready for it.

154
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 7: A week later they contact me and they said, you'll

155
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 7: never guess what the peculiar smell is. The suit has

156
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 7: been embalmed.

157
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 6: Oh god, that put it on a body after the.

158
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 3: Front door shut front door.

159
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: Someone had purchased the suits, buried their loved one in

160
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 7: the suit, and then returned the suit and got their

161
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 7: money back. Oh my god, this is Oh my gosh.

162
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: I didn't even know. I thought you the suit went

163
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: in the ground with the person?

164
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: Did me to not?

165
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: If it's five grands with jack?

166
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: Right?

167
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: You going back at midnight taking up old grant?

168
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 8: That?

169
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

170
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,040

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: Errick, Christian Connells Show podcast chair.

203
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: Walls Christian were a peak height a primary schools to

204
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: work in as a teacher versus teacher, and then sometimes

205
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: student versus student, and then sometimes I guess it's like

206
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: alien versus predator.

207
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Student versus teacher.

208
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: Even though the kids all have the same chairs, they

209
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: get so possessive and have a strange sixth sense about

210
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: which one is there. We've even had tears some staff

211
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: over someone sitting on someone else's chair.

212
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: Some carry.

213
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: It's a big thing, chair wars. We get really connected

214
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: to know you think our special powers.

215
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: Let's go to Deb. Good morning Deb, Good morning guys.

216
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 5: How are you.

217
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: We're good Deb. So are you involved in chair walls

218
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: at work?

219
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Yes?

220
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 8: I am a good friend of mine at work. We're

221
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 8: both nurses, but we have one chair that's like a

222
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 8: vinyl covered chair and one that's a fabric covered chair,

223
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 8: and we both fight over the fabric sorry, the fabric one,

224
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 8: because the vinyl one gives you a sweaty butt crack.

225
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they do know. It's like a cheap old

226
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: cards car hire in a car hire. They've always got

227
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: that cheap old final, haven't They break only sweat to

228
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: sweat and.

229
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: For it to pull on it as well.

230
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 8: Exactly.

231
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, So how do you win? How do you win

232
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 4: the war?

233
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 8: It's just it's ongoing. It's all happened from.

234
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: The war on drugs, you know, anywhere, war on chairs.

235
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 8: I did want to tell her though, that her patient

236
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 8: was deteriorating to get her out of it.

237
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: Chirs, Oh, I hear someone on Coke Blue better run.

238
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: Oh what a confession. I'll tell you what that has

239
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: just one you corner.

240
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: Of the way. You drop it a truth. But I'm

241
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: like that on the show. You can have a thousand dollars.

242
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: No, yeah, you already have. That is it's rare that

243
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: we're shocked to know what patient was deteriorating. Just to

244
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: get your friends share that is amazing. Well, now you

245
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: know what to do in the studio here if you

246
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: have a struggling hockey's this collapse so you can get

247
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: his chair.

248
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: This is the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

249
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: So when did you have to rescue yourself? This is

250
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: quite some story from Jason. Good morning, Jason, morning boys.

251
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 9: How are you?

252
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: We're good?

253
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: Jason, So tell us your story when you had to

254
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: save yourself.

255
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: So I got.

256
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 9: Hands stuck in a hydraulic wood splitter. So what had

257
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 9: happened was the timber was quite naughty. It was redwood

258
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 9: or red dumb, and it exploded. And then as I

259
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 9: tried to keep the timber in the wood splitter, the

260
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 9: bit of timber moved to about a forty five degree angle,

261
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 9: and at that stage my hand then got pinned between

262
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 9: the backing play and the.

263
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: And the bit of wood.

264
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 9: So it was early in the morning and I was

265
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 9: down the padic by myself, so I had to wait

266
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 9: for the boss to come back and take my smoke

267
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 9: o order to avert him to the fact that I

268
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 9: was stuck.

269
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: In the machine to hapened.

270
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 9: Well, for I'm there, I'd sort of had enough time

271
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 9: to calm down because I was in the machine for

272
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 9: about half an hour forty minutes. What and what and Yeah,

273
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 9: I tried. I tried to jump out, like was using

274
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 9: all my might to try and spring like spring forward

275
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 9: and push all the way back as hard as I could,

276
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 9: and yeah, it wouldn't release.

277
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: So essentially, your your fingers are trapped in this wood spacer,

278
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: aren't they correct?

279
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a glove on and at.

280
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 9: That stage there I looked down into the glove and

281
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 9: I could see something wasn't quite right with my little finger,

282
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 9: and I'd convinced myself that it had dislocated, But also

283
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 9: I knew that it may have separated from the hand,

284
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 9: and that I only had a certain period time to

285
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 9: get it sort of reattached.

286
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: To tell me what you had incredible mastery over your

287
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: emotions and fear to actually not just pass out.

288
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I mean there was a bit of fear initially,

289
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 9: but the diction. Yeah. The biggest issue I had was

290
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 9: that when miss Boss did come down to the paddic

291
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 9: to take my smoke o order, he had a look

292
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 9: and nearly fainted. So I had to keep him on queue,

293
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 9: and then he panicked and didn't know how to get

294
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 9: me out. And it was like, it's okay, if we

295
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 9: undo these hoses here and here, we should be able

296
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 9: to push the backing plate back and release my hand.

297
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 9: But then I had to send him away because we

298
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 9: were down the paddock, and I had to send him

299
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 9: away to my car and give him my car keys,

300
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 9: and I said to him, drive the car down the paddic,

301
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 9: and in the boot of the car is all the

302
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 9: tools that we will need. I was an apprentice at

303
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 9: the time, so I had all my tools on king

304
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 9: the car, and yeah, I needed him to walk away,

305
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 9: not faint going up the paddy or panic, get him

306
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 9: a car. And then he turned around and come back

307
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 9: down the paddic and went, but we're not going to

308
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 9: get your car out. I was like, that's not an issue.

309
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 4: If I had to choose between my head and the car,

310
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: I'll choose the head.

311
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: Oh wait, it's a Sophie's choice, there, isn't it. That's

312
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: quite amazing composure.

313
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 9: Well, I suppose I was young and just didn't really

314
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 9: sort of.

315
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: No, No, that's that's real. That's poised under pressure. That's

316
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: not that that's beyond your years. It's incredible. So you're

317
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: obviously counseling the sort of you know when they have

318
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: these people, then the air traffic control and they've got

319
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: to talk somebody down an aeroplane. He's never floatable. That's

320
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: you with your arm trapped, calm in, your boss down

321
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: to go and get the car. You've got the tool,

322
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: so you tell the faint headed boss what to do.

323
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: So does he get the right tools and what happens then?

324
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, eventually I'm not sure what time it took,

325
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 9: but it did take some time.

326
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: One could almost say a little bit too much time.

327
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: I've been now yelling at the boss and get his

328
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: finger out of his backside and wave your fingers.

329
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: It was smoco Christian.

330
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 9: He didn't even take the order.

331
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: That's shocking, shocking versus scoundrel.

332
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 9: But yeah, so eventually, you know, I had to tell

333
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 9: him what tools to use, and then you know, lefty lucy,

334
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 9: righty sidy and that sort of stuff, to hit the

335
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 9: get the hydraulic fittings off, and then to grab a sledgehammer.

336
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 9: And then he had a very small area of a

337
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 9: backing plate to hit, and then to hit that backing plate.

338
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 9: So at that stage he got a little concerned that

339
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 9: he was going to hit the hand. But I was like, well,

340
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 9: I need to get my hand out, so let's let's

341
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 9: hit right or I was pointing where he needed to hit.

342
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Let's hit here.

343
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: And did he hit the sweet spot?

344
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah.

345
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 9: It took probably half a dozen hits to back it

346
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 9: off enough to release the hand. And then and then

347
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 9: I remember that at that point he wanted to take

348
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 9: the glove off and have a look to see how

349
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 9: bad it was, and I was sort of more like, no,

350
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 9: we probably have to go to hospital now, and then

351
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 9: he started to panic because he was like he didn't

352
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 9: know where the nearest hospital was, and.

353
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: It sounds like a five year old.

354
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 9: Baby boss just pannied like everything. And then I remember

355
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 9: on the way way through there, the traffic lights at

356
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 9: Hallum had just been installed near the club, and it

357
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 9: turned red and he stopped, and I remember looking at

358
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 9: him and going, what are we doing.

359
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: Let's like, when take the points?

360
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, and if the police pulled me over or pull

361
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 9: us over, that's a blessing. So I think they must

362
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 9: have rung the ambulance, but the ambulance was going to

363
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 9: be it take too long to get to the area

364
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 9: of the bush we were in, so we elected them

365
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 9: to drive.

366
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, and the last.

367
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 9: Thing I remember is being in hospital and taking the

368
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 9: glove off and then having I'm not sure how many

369
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 9: doctors and nurses there were, but there was quite a

370
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 9: few attending your mate, you know, giving him a copy

371
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 9: after all he did me smoke. But yeah, and at

372
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 9: that point there I snatched my hand back from everybody

373
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 9: else that was looking at it, and that was the

374
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 9: last thing I remember is seeing my fingers that were

375
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 9: pretty much completely flat and just the shape of the

376
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 9: fingernail was like the Sydney Harbor Bridge on flat water.

377
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 9: It just sort of popped up and I fainted at

378
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 9: that point and woke up in the hospital bed. And yeah,

379
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 9: it started off with they wanted to amputate three fingers,

380
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 9: but fortunately I only lost the tip of the little fingers.

381
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: Tell you what it is down to your thinking, isn't it.

382
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: How can you save more fingers? Honestly, it's incredible what

383
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: you did. So you just loft at the end of that,

384
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: you just lost a tip of.

385
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, tip of the little finger is missing.
