And I said to Sean, look, can you just pick up my phone?

I'd actually dialled my partner Deb on the way to the beach just to say, look, I'm going for a quick surf before I get home.

I said, just press redial and you'll get her.

And yeah, he said...

when she answered the phone, she said, hey, you.

And Sean said, no, it's not Dave, it's Sean.

And she goes, oh, what's he done now?

Because I'm sort of a bit prone to hurt myself.

I don't mind having a good hard crack at most things until I get hurt.

And yeah, Sean said, he's been attacked by a shark.

You need to get down here.

And she goes, stop shitting me, Sean.

What's he done?

And he goes, no, Deb, he's been attacked and you need to get here.

So she got down very quickly.

I think she made a 20-minute trip in 10 minutes, thinking all the way that she better drive carefully.

And in the process, she also rang...

Some of my family members as well, my daughter, she rang my brother to let him know what had happened and that she was trying to head out to find out what was going on.

And that was the first thing she said was the things you'll do to try and get out of cooking dinner.

Yeah, it was.
