1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: Hi, and hello, welcome to show number what is now 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: thirty two? This isn't really a show. There wasn't a 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: show today. I don't know if that means thirty two. 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: I'd be tomorrow's one when I hopefully go back. I 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: just want to leave a little message. I'm actually in 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: the front of my car right now at the beach 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: here in Melbourne. Dogs and the boot I mean like 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: a boot. It's a four x four. It's not actually 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: in the boot like in the trunk. 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: You know. I'm not savage, She's she's AKA. She just 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: had a walk. 12 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: I just want to say why there wasn't a show today. 13 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: There are a couple of reasons why I want to 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: say that. Firstly because actually I'm struggling to make sense 15 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: of what's just happened in the last twelve hours, and. 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: By talking, hopefully trying try and help me with that. 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: Don't if it's any good for you, But when has 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,639 Speaker 1: that ever stopped me in the past on the radio. 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: So right now, my wife, my two angels, Ruby and Lois, 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: they are in the air. 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: They are heading back to the UK. 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: And the reason is my mother in law collapsed suddenly 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: yesterday evening whilst my wife was talking to her. She 24 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: was in a shop in a pound Land, just having 25 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: a chat, talking about the flights when she's coming over 26 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: for Christmas for six weeks, and suddenly she collapsed with 27 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: chest pains and that's when everything just sort of spun 28 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: out control. 29 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 2: She had a. 30 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Big heart operation about five years ago, and so obviously 31 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: my wife was terrified that it was back. And we're 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: ten thousand miles away at the side of her phone, 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: which has now gone dead. So the next couple of 34 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: hours it looked really bad. It looked like she was 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: losing her mum. And if you've ever been the other 36 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: side of one of those phone calls, it's terrifying. You 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: just suddenly life crashes out of control. It almost feels violent, 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: and we're trying to have these conversations. There's a lack 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: of information and we're a long long way away. So 40 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: I managed to get Sarah on a flight at five am. 41 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: Along with the kids. 42 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: When I said goodbye to them in a taxi at 43 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: one thirty am this morning, we were all crying. I 44 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: was crying, The kids are crying, they're scared, So Sarah 45 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: and my wife, I feel awful that I'm not going 46 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: with them, but we figured that someone need to stay 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: behind and be in contact with everyone back in the 48 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: UK for twenty four hours. And she wasn't sure if 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: when she lands in twenty four hours time whether her 50 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: mum's even going to be alive. But a miracle has 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: happened thanks to the amazing people. Sorry, there are people 52 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: looking at me right now. There was a guy there's 53 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: ten to ten in the morning here crying in the 54 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: front of his car. I look like one of those 55 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: those adverts you know, where a woman's been dumped or 56 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: something on a scar is running and she's just staring 57 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: madly out to see. I've just had to wave at 58 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: someone like, yes, no big deal, just to gry.
