Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh what is mystical and magical is where the petrol goes.
And we have got twenty thousand dollars in our tank
exclusively for gold coasters. Good morning, It's GAILI and Emily Jade,
one of two nine Hot Tomato and Hot Tomatoes and
Sunshine forwards. Beat the Bowser is coming up after the
seven thirty news, so it's ten minutes away. Guys, stop calling,
We know you what that petrol, but Beat the Bowser

(00:21):
coming up soon.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Brad Ross was at Cabarreta yesterday and he was surfing
and having a good old time and then all of
a sudden, a little bit of mayhem from underneath and
the story goes on. It was just before we finished
the show yesterday, so it was around about eight am,
and then all of a sudden, footage started coming in
and different stuff online and a lot of obviously even

(00:44):
a lot of people here. Tara surf reporter had it
all online with the context that she's got, yeah, pretty
much the picture and a video of the board and
the bite mark in the board.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Now something else to look at the board.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
You don't imagine if anyone's lying on the board, how
the person gets missed. You can't understand why he didn't
run part of the by I reckon.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
You think about it, don't you, And I reckon. The
nose went up and it flipped him off and then
it went into the board. Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, well I hope that that's how it happened, because
it doesn't explain otherwise it's just and looked. On June
twenty nine, there was an attack. I think it was
a bull shark, but a sixteen year old was attacked too.
He went to hospital. He had some slight injuries and
hopefully he's recovering really well. So it is that area
that's coppying it a bit, and this time of the
year it happens a lot as well. But apparently Brad

(01:37):
was pretty cool afterwards.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
He was just like so the pictures he is just
like holding up the two pieces of the board like
nothing's happening, and.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Then all of a sudden sort of just went, oh well,
I better go to work. Can you imagine water cooler
talk had cool tea going at work for that first coffee.
I don't know what he does for a job, but
he rolls up there and for the first half of
the day are you getting much work done. No, because
everyone's going to be going, hey you're online again, Hey
are you going viral? Yeah, but all of this. Look,

(02:04):
hopefully we get to talk to him at some stage.
I would imagine a little bit of shock sets in.
We just saw a witness on TV. He still looks shocked.
He was out in the water with Brad at the
same time, and he still looks a little bit overwhelmed.
But he's already been out in the water. He said,
I want to get the monkey off in the back.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I feel like, you know, we have the great Australian bite.
I think we need to now rename Cabareta that.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, well for other reasons, like if you're if you're
a food company and you want to advertise having a
good bite.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're like a good bite go to Caburta Beach right now.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
But look, we can only pray that everyone's all right.
They reckon it's about a four to five meter shark.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, you know what, Gaelic. When I was away, Americans
have this real view of Australia being really, really dangerous.
So they'd hear your accent and they'd say, oh my god,
Oh I've never met anyone from Australia. I'd really like
to go there, but it's so dangerous, and Millie and
I were saying, no, it's not dangerous at all. Next
minute there's an earthquake while we're away and a shock pot.

(03:04):
You're making a liar of being Australia's Emily J.
