Season eighteen 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: A Bondi Rescue kicks off tonight at seven thirty. Apparently 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: this season was the busiest ever for the guys from 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: Bondi Rescue and Hoppo Joins US now High Hopper Rescue 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: US all hopo. 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: Oho Jones and Amanda how very well. 8 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: So apparently last summer was the busiest one ever, one 9 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty three rescues just in one shift. What 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: was going on? 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, the massive date, it all lined up. We had 12 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: the a sunny day, we had thirty thousand people, an 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: eastly swell which makes a lot of water move around 14 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: the bay and so the rich are really bad. So 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: it was just all came together on one day and 16 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: it was a massive day that we had and probably 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: the biggest that I've had off at least ten to 18 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: twelve years. I reckon. 19 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: I always watched that show and I just enjoy it 20 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: very much. But the story that always sticks with me 21 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: is the guy that was bitten on his penis by 22 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: his dog because he was throwing the ball to the 23 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: dog and he chose to put the ball between his legs. 24 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 3: And the dogs went chunk and you had to deal 25 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: with that. 26 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an unusual one. We get plenty of 27 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: unusual first aid to Pontlin. I don't know. We had 28 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: to draw straw than who was going to actually do 29 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: the first daid and patch him up? 30 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: Wow, what sort of first aid do you do there 31 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 3: on that? 32 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: Well, it's not much. I mean, it's a bit of bleeding. 33 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: So we gave him a bit of party. Medic can 34 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: just told it and they had to go to hospital 35 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: and get a few stitches. But yeah, but he won't 36 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: be putting the ball back back between his legs again. 37 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: No, are you finding more people who are being rescued 38 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: because we've got more tourists or people who live here 39 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: who who don't know how to use the water these days. 40 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's more. I think people have moved here because 41 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: majority of probably sixty five seventy percent of our rescues 42 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: are people that are actually living in Australia. So I 43 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: think they've moved here that haven't had the background of 44 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: living around water and ocean overseas, and they come here 45 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: and want to be a part of the Australian culture 46 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: and go to the beaches and then they get themselves 47 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: into trouble. 48 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: And if you go to beaches in the Middle East 49 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: or the European areas that they just don't have the 50 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: rips that we have here. 51 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Now, that's right, it's all pretty flat and small and calm. 52 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: And that's why I think when they come to Boondi, 53 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: where the rips are is quite looks quite calm. So 54 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: they go in a sleep of water and they get 55 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: themselves into trouble. And but you know, we always say 56 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: this float and go with the flow of the water, 57 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: and that will ninety percent of the time will take 58 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: across the sandbank. So we just try to educate people 59 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: on how to deal with rips when they're in them. 60 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: Maybe you should set up the lifeguard tower right near 61 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: the end of the rip, so someone just floats along and. 62 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: Then they scoop them out with a big net. 63 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: And there's you with the bomb ready to apply it. 64 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: Where that's a great idea. I might the next meeting 65 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: we have at the beach, you might, I might raise that. 66 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: And the Jones recommended a new technique. 67 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned Jones's name. Live mine out of it. 68 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: If you don't know, than. 69 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: How are your fingerprints on this? I came up with 70 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: the idea. WELLO, it's always great to talk to you. 71 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: Season eighteen, The bond I Rescue kicks off tonight at 72 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: seven thirty only on Channel ten and ten Play. 73 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us, Thanks hearing me. 74 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: Take care, Hoppo.
