We're about to go home. I turn
around, I scan the beach.

And I'm, like, "Haven't got
time to unlock the shed. Gotta
run."

to run straight for him.

I could see him the whole way.

37
00:02:08,476 --> 00:02:11,131
The guy's in the middle of the
beach and he was in so much
trouble.

shoreline

and he's most probably
still a good 75 metres away.

41
00:02:18,790 --> 00:02:21,445
So that means I have to run
over the sandbank,

42
00:02:21,489 --> 00:02:23,578
and then I basically jump
in the water and swim out.

43

But there's a second swimmer
in trouble.

44

Chappo must make a tough
decision.

45
00:02:29,932 --> 00:02:33,675
And then I swim past one guy
who was screaming at me.

very often.

going under and drowning,

50

you're just, like...

..trying to keep your head
above water,

340
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:57,614
Lived at the beach all my life

341
00:18:57,658 --> 00:18:59,703
and it actually came back
to bite me.

342
00:18:59,747 --> 00:19:02,619
[ALL SCREAM]

343
00:19:02,663 --> 00:19:06,928
If they all went in swimming
right now, it'd be
catastrophic.

344
00:19:06,971 --> 00:19:09,670
Imagine them all out there.

345
00:19:11,846 --> 00:19:16,633
The shoot finished and a lot
of people went for a swim.

346
00:19:16,677 --> 00:19:18,374
That's always nice,
to go for a skinny dip.

347
00:19:21,247 --> 00:19:23,249
Heya. Whoop!

348
00:19:23,292 --> 00:19:26,817
Everything was jiggling. It
was definitely a scene I won't
forget.

349
00:19:26,861 --> 00:19:29,429
We've done it, we've done it!

350
00:19:29,472 --> 00:19:30,560
So I was driving through the
crowd.

351
00:19:33,998 --> 00:19:35,957
And then...I can't believe my
eyes.

352
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:39,874
Hang on, I know that backside.

353
00:19:39,917 --> 00:19:41,180
No, it can't be.

354
00:19:41,223 --> 00:19:42,572
Is it...

355
00:19:50,885 --> 00:19:53,583
2,500 people

356
00:19:53,627 --> 00:19:57,196
are baring all for
a history-making photo shoot.

357
00:19:57,239 --> 00:20:00,416
Among them, Bondi lifeguard
Bagus.

358
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:02,810
Alright, all put your hands
down!

359
00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:04,464
I've never seen so many
nude people in my life.

360
00:20:04,507 --> 00:20:05,378
[LAUGHS]

361
00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:10,948
Bagus was hoping to stay
undercover.

362
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:15,866
I didn't tell anyone.

363
00:20:15,910 --> 00:20:18,304
And then I saw the buggy
coming down

364
00:20:18,347 --> 00:20:20,480
and I was, like, "No way."

365
00:20:20,523 --> 00:20:23,004
They've started, obviously.
It's past 6:00.

366
00:20:23,047 --> 00:20:26,486
And I just was quite liberated
by then. There was no
inhibitions.

367
00:20:29,532 --> 00:20:31,142
Hang on, I know that backside.
Is it...

368
00:20:31,186 --> 00:20:33,841
No, it can't be. It is!

369
00:20:33,884 --> 00:20:35,669
There's Bagus. There's Bagus!

370
00:20:35,712 --> 00:20:37,540
There he is. Bagus!

371
00:20:37,584 --> 00:20:38,889
No way.

372
00:20:38,933 --> 00:20:40,848
[LAUGHS] They're on me!

373
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:43,503
Bagus! [LAUGHS]

374
00:20:47,811 --> 00:20:50,205
How good! We found him.

375
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:52,207
[LAUGHS]

376
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:54,775
Oh, we hear Bagus is up there
in the nude at the moment.

377
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:56,472
[LAUGHS]

378
00:20:57,865 --> 00:20:59,301
Here he comes.

379
00:21:01,172 --> 00:21:02,565
How was it?
Yeah, it was good!

380
00:21:02,609 --> 00:21:04,045
It's exciting.
What time did you get here?

381
00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:05,916
At the start...

382
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,441
..gear off, it's just, like,
"Whoa!"

383
00:21:08,484 --> 00:21:10,486
And then it's kinda like...
Whatever?

384
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:12,488
Yeah, it's just... You're just
on.

385
00:21:12,532 --> 00:21:14,838
I like the idea of the art
work.

386
00:21:14,882 --> 00:21:18,233
When they said Bondi Beach,
I was, like, "Oh, God."

387
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,975
I was hoping it was some
obscure harbour beach.

388
00:21:21,018 --> 00:21:23,630
And... Yeah.

389
00:21:23,673 --> 00:21:25,458
But I didn't really see
anyone I knew.

390
00:21:25,501 --> 00:21:27,286
So that was...that was good.

391
00:21:27,329 --> 00:21:29,157
Something different,
that's for sure!

392
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,464
Go have a shower! [LAUGHS]

393
00:21:31,507 --> 00:21:35,816
I just love that Bagus was in
that. I know.

394
00:21:35,859 --> 00:21:38,645
There had to be one of us.
Doesn't surprise me. "Oh,
yeah."

395
00:21:38,688 --> 00:21:39,994
It is for a good cause.

396
00:21:40,037 --> 00:21:42,257
I definitely take my hat off
to Bagus for doing it.

397
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:43,606
He's actually got some balls.

398
00:21:43,650 --> 00:21:45,521
Um... [LAUGHS]

399
00:21:45,565 --> 00:21:47,480
Alright, guys!

400
00:21:47,523 --> 00:21:49,569
OSHER: Next time...

401
00:21:49,612 --> 00:21:52,049
I'm gonna take you up to the
tower.

402
00:21:52,093 --> 00:21:54,443
..carnage on New Year's Day.

403
00:21:54,487 --> 00:21:56,750
This guy is the drunkest I've
seen.

404
00:21:56,793 --> 00:21:58,012
[HORN TOOTS]
And...

405
00:21:58,055 --> 00:22:01,232
Move!
..a baby not breathing.

406
00:22:01,276 --> 00:22:04,584
I've got this baby in front of
me. Everything was that
moment.

407
00:22:04,627 --> 00:22:06,716
