Speaker 1: Lossie. It is good to have you back.
Speaker 2: It's good to be back. I did leave quite quickly
Speaker 2: last week because we got a really awful phone call. Sorry,
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, we got a really awful phone call that
Speaker 2: no one ever wants to get and no one should
Speaker 2: ever get, and that was that one of our best
Speaker 2: friends had gone missing. And so we took off on
Speaker 2: Tuesday up to Byron Bay and one of our great,
Speaker 2: great friends, Jay, who has been one of my fiance
Speaker 2: Paul's best friends for the last twenty years, went for
Speaker 2: a surf on Tuesday and never came back and he
Speaker 2: surfboard washed up on the beach, but he hasn't returned
Speaker 2: to us yet. So we spent last week up there
Speaker 2: with out with some of our friends and the police
Speaker 2: and to rescue and everyone that could possibly get their
Speaker 2: hands on deck trying to find him, and unfortunately, unfortunately
Speaker 2: he hasn't been found. But yeah, we spent the week
Speaker 2: walking the beaches and the nights walking the beaches trying
Speaker 2: to find him, and it's been a really tough week.
Speaker 2: He was a friend who is one of the just
Speaker 2: the best people you could ever meet in your life.
Speaker 2: He's a police officer, and we are so lucky to
Speaker 2: have him as a friend, and so we knew if
Speaker 2: the shoe was on the other foot, he wouldn't give
Speaker 2: up looking for us, and we don't really want to
Speaker 2: give up looking for him either. But at this point,
Speaker 2: we don't know where, we don't know, we don't know
Speaker 2: what's happened. It's how he's had a surfing accident.
Speaker 1: Well, the am we don't cry on the phone together,
Speaker 1: yestaffter that how's PAULI doing?
Speaker 2: He's okay. It's been an awful week for for all
Speaker 2: of Jay's family and friends. And I think it's I
Speaker 2: don't know when when you you lose someone you love,
Speaker 2: you sort of just in a bit of a bit
Speaker 2: of a bubble for a bit, I think, And and
Speaker 2: when you don't know where it is, it's sort of
Speaker 2: harder to move on to that next stage of understanding
Speaker 2: as well. So it has been a really big week
Speaker 2: for a lot of our friends and family and Jay's
Speaker 2: friends and family. And I'm so grateful you guys just
Speaker 2: picked up for me here and let me go and
Speaker 2: we got to have time together up there. But God,
Speaker 2: it's just such a reminder that life is just so so.
Speaker 1: Appreciated and I was saying that last night. I just
Speaker 1: thinks can just change?
Speaker 2: The sea is just such a dark and can be
Speaker 2: a dark and lonely place, can it come? And it's
Speaker 2: just he was a surfer, he loved surfing, and and
Speaker 2: you know he was out hopefully catching a really good wave.
Speaker 2: But we were lucky that we we actually spoke to
Speaker 2: Jade on the night before and you know, we had
Speaker 2: Chad and you know, it's always we always tell our
Speaker 2: friends when we hang up on the phone, love you mate,
Speaker 2: And so I'm so glad that we got to tell
Speaker 2: him that. But it is just such a reminder to
Speaker 2: just just love your friends and tell them that you
Speaker 2: love them. And because you really just don't know when
Speaker 2: the last time you might see someone is. And this
Speaker 2: has been a real and sobering reminder of that. It's
Speaker 2: been yeah, horrendous, hideous week.
Speaker 1: Like I said, you on the phone last night, don't
Speaker 1: yourself this week. You and Paul then take care of
Speaker 1: yourself if you just need to take time out from
Speaker 1: the show here and there by all means just go
Speaker 1: thank you because I know you're still living it, yeah,
Speaker 1: and where we're here for you, but always thank you.
Speaker 2: But yes, just a reminder to everybody to tell the
Speaker 2: people that you love that you love them at every
Speaker 2: opportunity you get.
