1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 2: Well, you know, love and remember, our next guest is 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: the original Yellow Wiggle. You used to get millions of 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 2: hearts pumping to hot Potato, but after cardiac arrest on stage, 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: he's made it his life's mission to save lives. That's 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: why he's hosting the world's largest CPR class this weekend 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: on Channel nine. Great Page. 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 3: Hello, Good morning, James and Amanda, how are you good? 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: Beck's great So obviously hearts are a subject literally close 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: to your heart. Did you ever imagine that you'd have 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: a life's calling to try and teach people CPR? 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: No? I didn't. And look, I guess. You know, when 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: you have an event like that happen, your life changes. 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: And I guess when I woke up in hospital and 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 3: saw on the news my cardiac arrest event being covered 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 3: on the news, I thought, well, this is a chance 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 3: to use my story and my name and my profile 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 3: to really try and save lives, because only ten percent 19 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: of people survive a sudden cardiac arrest, and that's just 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: not good enough. 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: What happened to you? It just happened, didn't it. You're 22 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: up on stage, You've started to feel unwell and then 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: that was. 24 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: In Look, I don't even remember feeling unwell, to be honest, 25 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 3: I just literally collapsed and that could have been it 26 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: to me. And for around fifty percent of people that 27 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 3: have a sudden cardiac arrest, that is the first time 28 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: they know there's something wrong. So it wasn't un till 29 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: after I survived that I found out I had heart disease. 30 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: And that's pretty scary, right. So twenty four thousand people 31 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 3: every year don't survive a sudden cardiac arrest, and about 32 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: fifty percent of those people don't know there's anything wrong 33 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: with them that could cause them to drop dead, and 34 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: you know, their loved ones could have that person removed 35 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 3: from their life forever, unknowingly. And that word sudden in 36 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: sudden cardiac arrest is very very appropriate. Wow. 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: Yes, I've got a friend who lost her husband that way. 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: Just absolutely devastating and terrible. And it's the sort of 39 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: thing where you think, oh, I should learn CPR, or 40 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: if you've seen videos on it, you think, well, I 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: remember in a crisis. We saw last week the new 42 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: Southwest treasurer Matt Kean. He'd just been sworn in his 43 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: treasure He's walking back to his offices, a man outside 44 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: of Parliament houses on the pavement. He saves his life. 45 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: Yep. 46 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: And this is what can happen when people do step 47 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 3: in and perform the links in the chain of survival. 48 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 3: CPR is one very important link in the chain of survival. 49 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: So when somebody does something rather than nothing, the patient 50 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 3: has a chance of surviving. When nothing's done, then there's 51 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: no chance of surviving. Really, So we need more people 52 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: empowered to perform CPR. And the good news is you 53 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: don't have to have a bit of paper to say 54 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 3: that you're qualified in it to be able to save 55 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: somebody's life. So tune in tomorrow at three pm on 56 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: Channel nine and nine now and get familiar with CPR. 57 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: You know, we're having what we hope will be the 58 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: world's largest CPR class and you can be a part 59 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: of it. Tune in and get familiar with CPR so 60 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: that if you ever need to do it, you feel 61 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: a lot more confident. 62 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: When I was in Scouts, we learned CPR. I'm a 63 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 4: bit rusty on it, but we had a while ago. 64 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 4: Yes it was Greg Ye, I'm not one of those guys. 65 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 4: Was in Scouts just last year, but yeah, we had 66 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: like the dummy and the back. 67 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: In those days, you used to administer mouth to mouth, 68 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: but you don't have to do that anymore. 69 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: It's all about just compression. 70 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: Don't you do mouth to mouth anymore. 71 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 3: Look, I've heard two different things. I've heard people say, 72 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: particularly now with COVID being around, there's no need to 73 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: do the breaths. I've also read many studies that say 74 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 3: the same thing, that the breaths are not as important 75 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: as the compressions. So if you ever want to do CPR, 76 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: or sorry, if you're in the situation where you feel 77 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: you should do it but you don't want to do 78 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 3: the breath, just jump into the hands only CPR and 79 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: that could save somebody's life. So don't be put off 80 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: by the fact that you think you should have to 81 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: do the breast because you don't. Just hands on and 82 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: just go for it, and you can probably have a 83 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: positive effect on somebody's or whole family's lives. 84 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: Really, because we're also told is that the rhythm is 85 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: staying alive. 86 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 4: Yep, if you do it to that. 87 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: Beat, ha ha ha ha, staying alive, that's sort of 88 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: the rhythm to keep. 89 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, there's many CPR tempo songs. Dancing Queen 90 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: is another, quite ironically, another one by the Dusk is so. 91 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: Probably probably keep that one to yourself while you're doing it. 92 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 4: You're not singing. 93 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: Don't singing that one, now, that's right. 94 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm surprised the Wiggles do the Wiggles come up with 95 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: a song, because come on, you guys, that's that's you, 96 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: that's right in your wheelhouse. 97 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: It is. Well, look, the Wiggles haven't written a CPR song. 98 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: There's a CPR tempo song fruit salad yummy, yummy tempo. 99 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: But I have written some songs since my event to 100 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: try and teach people, kids and adults alike about CPR. 101 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: So there's a song I've written called keep the Beat Going, 102 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: which is CPR tempo, and it's about keeping the beat 103 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: going while you're keeping the blood flowing, which educates you 104 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: as to why you're doing CPR. 105 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: Well, there you go. It's no, it's no cold spaghetti. 106 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: Cold spaghetti spaghetti. 107 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 2: Fruit salad, as you say, will get you through.
