Good Maths, Brendon, Good Maths, Quick Maths. Just to give
you a recap, Natalie send us an email talking about
friends of hers, Lauren and Jake. They tried to get
married last October. Jake's brother horrendously was killed in a
car accident just a few weeks before they rescheduled. It
just happened a few weeks ago on Morton Bay as
part of a cruise. They got to Morton Bay and
(00:32):
the swell was so big they couldn't get off the
boat onto the tender to go and get married. So
they were besides themselves, beside themselves, they've wasted so much money,
absolutely disheartened. So Natalie said, can we help? And we
said can we can? We maybe well, and then we said,
you know what, yes we can.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We we're kind of big deals in this town. We
know a lot of people. We can get stuff happening.

sure that Friday was free for all of it, so
you can all get a part of it. It's really
your wedding. How hard is to organize?

Let's tell it to Jake. And it's not Amanda's backyard,
because we have Jake with us. Now, Hello, Jake, good,
how are you going very well? So apparently you had
no idea this was happening. Neither did Lauren, but Natalie
had got in touch with us. You were at work
yesterday when you heard it all unfold.

So we spoke to Lauren yesterday, as you know, and
she just said, how heartbreaking it's been, What a hard
time you've been through. Your dad's living with you and
he's got cancer. She sings your praises as being the
guy that would do anything for anyone, But these last
few months must have been so hard for you.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, yes, just recently, these last ten months. It's just yeah,
the whole family has been turned upside down. And yes,
it's been very, very crappy. Yeah, that's an understanding.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And someone stole your motorbike? What sort of motorbike they steal?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I had two door bikes and one one was an
older one and one was my pride and joy, and
that just yeah, went missing. Someone thought they would appreciate
it more than me, And yes, I was very heart breaking.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
They used to shoot horse these what sort of just
what sort of bikes were they too?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
DEBI? So one was a Yamaha wise Ed and the
other was a KTM.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
So how old was the wise.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Nineteen eighty one model, a bit of a collector's item. Yeah,
yeah it was. Yeah, yeah, you can't just go and
can just go and buy that again.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So was it in good condition?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Was it restored?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It was not very good at first, but yeah, I
put a lot of money into it and got it
all looking all nice and pretty, and yep, unfortunately I
don't have it anymore due to some bastard.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Look. Speaking of nice and pretty, let's talk about your
wedding day. We know that Lauren has an ido on Friday.

Oh before that, that was around around thirty your forty people.
So it was just it was just their immediate family's day.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Right. But we're just looking at what kind of venue
we're going to need for you because we know that
you're free Friday. That's the first step, Jones. And you
said you think we have a venue in place.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, I got a good venue. I'm just going to
make some calls, Jake, but I'm pretty much, eighty percent
on this I'm eighty percent on this place. And if

be doubtful, No, it will work. It's going to work out.
