Speaker 1: You're getting used to life very differently now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just riding for my fingernails to grow back.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a bit shorter, but yeah, just
Speaker 4: waiting on that, and then after that that'll look somewhat normal.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're joking. Did they really grow back?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, do they really?
Speaker 2: So if you get chopped down to the knuckle, yeah,

Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. What a lovely lad. It's got
Speaker 1: a jack here? Good morning Jack.
Speaker 5: Did I hear yelling I'm good?
Speaker 1: How do you lose a finger?
Speaker 4: So it was my stepdad. Actually he's actually lost three
Speaker 4: and a half fingers. So the first one he lost
Speaker 4: in a motorbike accident when he was about nineteen. Some
Speaker 4: guys cut him off and then just mangled his left pinky,
Speaker 4: was put into a coma, told him, like told the family,
Speaker 4: wasn't going to come out of it, ended up coming
Speaker 4: out of it. Told you're never going to walk again,
Speaker 4: You're probably never going to ride, You're definitely not going
Speaker 4: to ride a bike again. And wanted to prove him wrong.
Speaker 4: So he went out and started walking again, rode the
Speaker 4: bike again and still riding to this day. And then
Speaker 4: about fifteen years ago, was owning a caravan repair company
Speaker 4: with my mum and his hand got stuck into a table.
Speaker 1: Saw this guy should not be offering his hands for anyone.
Speaker 1: I can't. I might be keeping my hands in my
Speaker 1: trout to pockets all day at all. Hey, can you
Speaker 1: help me? No for me once? That's on me.
Speaker 2: Also, Jack, the way you told the story, but it's
Speaker 2: like they said you'll never walk again, and that day
Speaker 2: he went out and proved them.
Speaker 1: Rock, I'll tell you what that that story about how
Speaker 1: he was in the motorbike accent and he went to
Speaker 1: a coma and then he might not even make it
Speaker 1: out the coma, and then he does and rides again,
Speaker 1: but goes through all of that and the only thing
Speaker 1: has to shoff is one missing finger. He survived. It's
Speaker 1: an incredible story. So you said there's three and a half.
Speaker 1: So we got one in the motorbike accident, Cara, yep.
Speaker 4: So at the carrying party lost all of them. They
Speaker 4: cut it, cut off all the fingers. The pinky copped
Speaker 4: most of it, so that was completely gone except the
Speaker 4: top of it, which they reattached to his stumbed. So
Speaker 4: now he's got two fingerprints and two nails going out
Speaker 4: of his face.
Speaker 1: This is like inspector Gadget with the pinky on the thumb.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what because the top of the thumb was
Speaker 4: just mangled and the bottom.
Speaker 1: Of the pink all right, she borrowed it for one
Speaker 1: to buk up exactly.
Speaker 2: You've taken the small to put on the biggest.
Speaker 1: One, but you need your thumb more the most important.
Speaker 4: I'm not a doctor. I'll leave that to them. I'm
Speaker 4: not going to pick a finger.
Speaker 1: Hate quite right that we're all gonna sometimes stick out
Speaker 1: this one. You're there when i'd put it on the
Speaker 1: ring finger, but you're the expert.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So they reattached them all and then about a
Speaker 4: year after he went up, they had to fuse his
Speaker 4: pointer finger and he said now I'm right handed, get
Speaker 4: this out of the way. So he asked the cut
Speaker 4: it off. Oh yeah, so he went out, I can't
Speaker 4: have this in the way. It's getting in the way
Speaker 4: of stuff. It's just sticking there like a like a
Speaker 4: sore thumb. And yeah, they asked, and the cut it off.
Speaker 1: And now he's got to add it to and then
Speaker 1: he could have a really long thumb's shaking thumb.
Speaker 2: Did you see a thumbs up that you like something?
Speaker 1: It's the biggest thumb up like that the food giving
Speaker 1: thumbs up to the place. It's got a foam hand.
Speaker 1: And again we're not doing to you know, they don't
Speaker 1: do it. For last guys, Jack, can I have to
Speaker 1: send you a price as well. We hadn't given away
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars yesterday for Call of the Week. I'll
Speaker 1: be giving it to you. That is a very very

Speaker 1: We all know the cam the worst place to get
Speaker 1: some sort of winchy thing when we're placing a string.
Speaker 1: The cam back again, slice my middle finger off. But
Speaker 1: the kicker is that finger hadn't the finger hadn't been
Speaker 1: on the ground for two seconds when our cat took
Speaker 1: off with him. No way, I never saw the finger again.
Speaker 1: Best day ever. You're a cat. You don't even want
Speaker 1: to have all of that one go. You'll hide out
Speaker 1: someone come back to that over a week or two.
Speaker 1: That is like like a hog roast a cat, isn't it,

Speaker 6: husband who was his brother. Two brothers worked together at
Speaker 6: the Herald and my brother in law lost his or
Speaker 6: the whole sort of delved his thumb when his son
Speaker 6: went into one of the machines when he was cleaning
Speaker 6: it with the rag. Anyway, story found a bit of
Speaker 6: his thumb, but it was no good in the end,
Speaker 6: so they used his toe to sew to his thumb,
Speaker 6: and it becomes a standard joke in the family that
Speaker 6: he had the stinkiest feet in the family but ended
Speaker 6: up with this thumb on his you know, toe on
Speaker 6: his thumb. So it's not a very flat one, very
Speaker 6: flat looking thumb on his left hand.

Speaker 2: Is that a common thing to do?
Speaker 1: Can they put one off now in these sort of
Speaker 1: high tech.

Speaker 1: a finger.
Speaker 5: So it wasn't me It was some years ago when
Speaker 5: I used to be a chef in one of the
Speaker 5: top restaurants in Melbourne, in Saint Kila, and we just
Speaker 5: hired a new pastry chef. So this pastry chef, I
Speaker 5: told him like, we need to turn some ice cream
Speaker 5: and stuff like this. So I went through all the
Speaker 5: non proceed non safety procedure of the ice cream machine
Speaker 5: and make sure to tell him do not put your
Speaker 5: finger inside the ice cream machine. Next thing, five minutes later,
Speaker 5: I see his guard coming in the kitchen like a ghost,
Speaker 5: looking like a ghost, with t cowl around his hand.
Speaker 5: And I looked at him and said, night, tell me
Speaker 5: you didn't tell me you didn't do it, And he
Speaker 5: looks and he goes, yes, I did. First show me
Speaker 5: your hand. And next thing, this finger was cleaned off
Speaker 5: at the knuckle, no blood, no nothing.
Speaker 1: And uh, oh the finger is it in the ice cream?
Speaker 5: Oh yes, we had to go and find a finger
Speaker 5: in the ice cream. Funny enough, he was turning some
Speaker 5: Danila ice cream and he was looking just about the
Speaker 5: same so looking for the finger, putting in a little
Speaker 5: plastic bag and into the hospital and I don't think
Speaker 5: he ever come back.
Speaker 1: Actually, one day working for you. That is incredible. And
Speaker 1: you still a chef now, Anthony.
Speaker 5: No no, I changed career about in two thousand and
Speaker 5: five and became a my therapist and worked in sport
Speaker 5: and more clinic and running Mount Clinic.
Speaker 1: Incredible, alright, give himself a plug. Where do you work?
