Cheers for coming uncle Chris. I've brought
1:04
my tools. Great. And my
1:06
apron. Perfect. Do I look alright George? Hey.
1:09
I mean if I'm gonna be on
1:11
camera. Ain't that what you normally wear at work? Well
1:14
I put on fresh jeans and a decent top.
1:16
You didn't have to. You're just supposed
1:18
to look like a farrier. Well I
1:21
am a farrier. Right a very clean
1:23
one. Not for long if you want me demonstrating
1:25
stuff. Let's just keep it simple shall we? Okay.
1:28
All you've got to do is explain to camera some
1:30
of the work you do for a bottle break. How
1:33
you help look after his hooves and what have you. Right.
1:36
It's really not a big deal uncle Chris.
1:38
Perhaps not for you. It's easy. But I'm
1:40
just not used to this kind of thing.
1:42
You'll be fine. We'll see. Look I'll
1:45
handle the introduction so just pay attention to
1:47
my presenting style. Key thing is
1:49
to relax and keep the energy up yeah.
1:52
Right. Just be yourself and
1:54
look before we get started can I just ask
1:57
you about something. If this is about the
1:59
bull I'll... Being bored by jolie
2:01
me and brought your mum did mention
2:03
it. Yeah, she's livid. I did get
2:05
an earful from her. her me you
2:07
know was on his up for myself.
2:09
What's a dirty and one off? I
2:12
mean I'd watch my step of the
2:14
best at times, but she's been quite
2:16
techy lately. My problem? I mean, it's
2:18
totally unfair. I'm sure I'll get sorts
2:20
itself. I'll be treated elsewhere to the
2:22
is plenty of other pups will take
2:25
my money. anyways. the cricket team is
2:27
what I wanted to talk to about.
2:30
Was. Well Harrison's busy
2:32
trying to get Linda Snow elected
2:34
club chairperson see when take much
2:36
persuaded actually has been decided by
2:38
show of hands. It's a nice
2:40
a Gm is between her and
2:42
Rover and Ferry Simmons and city
2:44
us in that very doesn't stand
2:46
a chance to horse race and
2:48
I think members of presplit I'll
2:50
vote for Linda though really and
2:52
Parsons guys hearts on it. But
2:55
he also wants to recruit some younger
2:57
players. I did one on one training
2:59
with our latest recruit last night and
3:02
while she and I would do in
3:04
circuit I thought he may well you
3:06
on breath. Day
3:08
Saints so some as oh come on
3:11
Brad said no already we you could
3:13
persuade him to change his mind was
3:15
what i the criticism Barry said i
3:18
think you'd be really good George for
3:20
anyone would next to added Tracy Alister
3:22
say they're both decent players you see.
3:24
For yourself. First met session is tomorrow in
3:27
Port Sister. Good luck to that that. Why
3:29
don't you in broad what's the team practice?
3:32
Prompts, You feel more interested in joining in. On
3:34
say this. Cricket for lasers actually Georgia
3:36
for the The Sulaiman I think you
3:38
and me one. Is
3:44
that he's done with the conversation and I'm
3:46
getting ready to else in the South. And
3:48
us. And yes he should
3:51
be at the T round Some each I
3:53
think I need to talk about this is already
3:55
had Tracy on him. A better place. Without
3:58
our son, he's. You know
4:00
why? They didn't do
4:02
nothing wrong. In your opinion? I'd
4:05
never paid for any alcohol. But he would have
4:07
done. Yeah, but he didn't. And
4:09
what about George's backchat? I
4:11
ain't having anyone try and intimidate me and my own pub,
4:14
Emma. They was upset, that's all. I suppose that gives
4:16
them the right to behave, are they what? They
4:18
were just defending themselves. They were out
4:20
of order. George didn't like that no
4:22
more. I swear. He's really grown up,
4:24
Jo-Lane, and he's got his head screwed
4:26
on. I'm sorry, Emma. I just need
4:28
to fetch the bar towels from the
4:30
Dumbledore. So mean! What? Be
4:33
fair with you, just let them back in. They
4:35
haven't even been barred for a day. The fact is, they
4:37
shouldn't have been barred at all. You weren't
4:39
there, Emma. I've heard it all from George. But you refused to
4:41
listen to me. Because you're wrong! Look, I
4:44
make the rules. I decide who gets
4:46
to drinking. Well, that's really unfair. You
4:48
realise I could hear you both from halfway down the
4:50
stairs. I'm sorry, Kenton. I'm just trying to make
4:52
Jo-Lane see sense. She won't drop it. Because George
4:55
is a good lad. Is he now? Could
4:57
we perhaps just put this aside and concentrate on
4:59
getting ready for opening? That's what I'm trying to
5:01
do. Jo-Lane don't realise how
5:03
upset I am about this. You're making
5:06
your feelings perfectly clear. Look, Kenton, George
5:08
has already had enough problems this year.
5:11
With Helen and Hannah at their own.
5:13
You could say trouble follows him around. Well, I'll
5:15
admit, it's been a real struggle for me to keep him on track.
5:18
But he's turned a corner recently. He's working hard,
5:20
helping me and Ed. And this
5:23
online channel of his, it's really taken
5:25
off. That's great. I'm glad to hear it. Why don't you
5:27
cut him some slack, Kenton? You ain't gonna
5:29
drag Kenton into this. It's his platoon. Emma,
5:32
I impose the bar and I intend to enforce
5:34
that. She's got a problem with that. You
5:36
know where the door is. Right,
5:41
I'm gonna adjust the phone. Then
5:44
we can both be in shot. Um, and you'll introduce me?
5:46
Yes, don't worry. Just wait for my cue. Because
5:48
I'll do a bit of banner at the top.
5:50
Right. Remember, that's
5:53
all it is, Uncle Chris. I'll chat
5:55
with some mites. Imagine you're talking
5:57
to Harrison down the bull.
6:00
Yes, but without you there That
6:02
ain't funny. No, sorry Right,
6:05
you ready? Okay, so
6:07
remember there'll be a pause after I
6:09
say say hello Bart cuz I need
6:11
to edit in a snort right
6:15
and It's recording What's
6:20
up guys welcome back to my grains farm
6:22
channel So we sort of
6:24
bottle be some new meds and a
6:27
new diet as you can see he's
6:29
looking better already Say hello
6:31
Bart Anyway,
6:34
someone else that keeps bar in good shape
6:36
is who's care and that is done by
6:38
my uncle who's a farrier Say
6:41
hello uncle Chris Um,
6:44
am I saying that to you or
6:46
the camera? No talk to them right?
6:48
Right. Right. Let's start again I'll
6:50
have to edit that. Sorry Anyway
6:55
Something else that keeps bought in good shape
6:57
is who care and that is done by
6:59
my uncle who's a farrier Say
7:01
hello uncle Chris. Hi good to
7:03
be here. So what does a farrier
7:06
do then? Oh, well, as
7:08
you said a farrier specializes in
7:10
equine who care equine is Oh
7:13
horses Donkeys ponies and mules. That's
7:15
a mashup between a horse and
7:17
a donkey Yeah, right. So
7:20
I care for horses feet I
7:22
clean trim and shoe their hooves except
7:24
in Barbies case and note because being
7:26
a senior pony We've decided to leave
7:29
Bartleby on shot but other
7:31
ponies might benefit from shoes I
7:34
don't mean the latest kit I know
7:36
horseshoes But whether we show
7:38
a senior horse is something we decide
7:40
on a case-by-case basis Every
7:42
horse and pony is different and so uncle
7:44
Chris How do we care for Barbies
7:46
hooves then? Well every six to
7:49
eight weeks. I'll come up here and just check
7:51
them if they're looking overgrown
7:53
I'll grab a pair of these which
7:55
are hoof cutters. Yeah, and they look
7:57
like basically a giant pair of pliers
8:00
I was going to say that. And I'll use them
8:02
to trim away any excess hoof wall to shake the
8:04
hoof. More often than
8:06
not though, I'll just be using something like
8:08
this. Which is a
8:10
farrier's rasp. Used to file
8:12
down any rough edges on Bartleby's hooves. Right,
8:15
and why don't you then... In fact, you
8:17
could say it's like an equine pedicure. Okay.
8:21
Sorry George, just a bit of farrier humour. What's
8:23
it? Hey. Hey. What
8:26
does it mean if you find a horseshoe? I
8:29
don't know. What does it mean if
8:31
you find a horseshoe? Some poor horse
8:33
is walking round in his socks. In
8:38
his socks, you get it? Anyway,
8:40
um, where were we? Farrier's rasp?
8:42
Ah, yeah. Actually,
8:45
perhaps we should demonstrate. You don't have to
8:47
do that. Well why not, Wallamir? I bet
8:49
you guys would be interested. I'm not sure.
8:51
Of course, say word. Why don't
8:53
you fetch the phone right close in so you
8:55
can properly see what I'm doing? Hey. We're going
8:57
to need some close-ups. Come
8:59
on, bring it here. Right.
9:03
So, what I'm going to show you now, a
9:05
bit closer George, on me, what I'm
9:07
going to show you is how we file
9:09
Bartleby's hooves at just the right angle to
9:11
make sure there are no sharp edges or
9:13
chips that could catch on anything out here
9:15
in the field or inside Bartleby's stable.
9:21
What is it, Kenton? Can we just have a word?
9:23
I know what you're going to say. What's
9:26
going on, Jolene? You know what's going on.
9:28
I'm just struggling to keep track of your moods. What
9:30
do you mean? Well, yesterday, one
9:33
minute you were excited about plans for Easter Sunday, the
9:35
next you're having a right old Barney with the customers.
9:38
I think you'll find George and Brad were having a
9:40
Barney with me. Yeah, but you could
9:42
have defused the situation. Well, I didn't want to.
9:45
I wanted them to know that I wouldn't be walked over.
9:48
This is my pub, my home. I
9:51
ain't putting up with it, Kenton. We don't
9:53
need people like that in here. Like what?
9:55
Bullies. Brad's not a
9:57
bully. I will not be intimidated. Not by
9:59
George. toward your Brad or Tracey and Emma for
10:01
that matter. Is this really about
10:03
them? Sorry? Look,
10:06
what happened a few weeks back was traumatic for all
10:08
of us. You know how terrible I was
10:10
feeling. I do. Yeah, but thankfully I've
10:13
been able to get past it. You're still recovering.
10:15
And the more time that passes since, well,
10:19
the more I feel life returning to normal. We've
10:22
got to remember that. It was just a
10:24
one-off. It's not like we're under any threat.
10:26
You reckon? So, surely it's time
10:28
to move on. We're
10:31
not so much. We should focus on the fact that
10:33
things are pretty much how they were before. You know,
10:36
we're both back at the ball, surrounded by customers we
10:38
know and staff we trust. And
10:40
we, I mean, you have
10:42
got this brilliant event planned for
10:44
Sunday. Right. There's really
10:46
no point in alienating anyone. And I
10:48
don't mean just George and Brad. Tracey
10:51
and Emma were fuming. Oh, they
10:54
need to teach their kids some manners. Having
10:57
said all that, I certainly don't want you to
10:59
ever feel walked over. So, how about this?
11:02
If Brad and George apologise, would you be
11:04
prepared to let it go? They'd
11:06
have to mean it. Yeah, absolutely. What
11:09
do you say? If you say
11:11
so, boss. Hey, that's more like my
11:13
jolene. You're
11:21
going to tell me how you got on, then? Can I
11:23
have some free cake? Oh, George. What? Tell
11:26
me about that filming you did this morning. With
11:28
Uncle Chris, you mean? Well, you don't sound
11:31
very happy, eh? He was
11:33
that nervous. Did he clam up on camera? No.
11:36
Once he got into the swing of it, he was fine. I
11:39
already uploaded the video. And is it
11:41
getting any attention? Yes. So
11:43
what's the problem? All my followers are
11:45
talking about is how fitting Hans and the Farrier
11:47
is. Oh, I see. Nothing about me. And
11:50
with Chris's it, then? It's not funny, mum. Me
11:52
and Borrow Bee should be the focus. Yes, let's
11:54
stick another video up. First, I'm going to take
11:56
Chris's down. I want to play. George. What a
11:58
waste of the morning. Listen, I
12:01
reckon I can cheer you up. Free cake. Better
12:03
than that. Kenton sent me a
12:05
text saying, Jolene's agreed to let you and
12:07
Brad back in the ball. Really? Yeah,
12:10
only there's one condition. What? She
12:13
wants an apology. In that case, she can whistle.
12:15
George. Well, tell her it's her that she'd be
12:17
apologizing to us. Look, I know Jolene went
12:19
over the top. Oh, no kidding. I want you
12:21
to swallow your pride, George. What sort of advice is
12:23
that? Well, I've had to. Well, then you're a loser. Hey,
12:26
let's have the lip. Let's just put
12:29
this to bed, George. That means being the
12:31
bigger person. Why should I? Because
12:33
you don't need more bad press, George. You're
12:36
getting on really well at
12:38
Bridge Farm. I think all the
12:40
stuff you're doing online with Bartleby is great. It
12:43
shows people around here. You've got
12:45
some initiative. Well, I don't care what
12:47
people think. Well, I do. So you apologize. You
12:49
don't do this, George. I swear. OK,
12:54
so your phone contract. You what? Yeah,
12:56
I mean it. No apologies. No
12:58
phones. You can't do that. Watch me. Mom, I
13:00
need my phone. I can't make my videos without
13:02
you. Well, there's only one thing to do then.
13:05
Say sorry to Jolene.
