Jonah is not exaggerating, the full time professional lifeguards (employed by local council) are literally picking up tourists out of the rips from sun up to sun down, all summer long. And a couple of them realised a while ago, it would make great TV, so Bondi Rescue was born. There is no shortage of content!
And his recount of the journo's ribbing him about the story is 100%! typically Aussie humour! much rather talk about that mishap, than the movie he's there to promote.

"it looks like your'e ready to meet god" had me in tears

[keisha]

and now he's a surfer. its really incredible to watch all his transformations every year like a butterfly

[anthonyhargreaves]

Jonah has caught the Aussie sense of humor 100% - "Someone needs some floaties Huh!"

[angelarorrer]

Jonah has stellar story telling skills with phenomenal commentary.

I love that he called them “floaties” and not “water wings” at the end. My man pays attention to what little culture we have 😂

[missr]

It's true that Jonah loves Aussies. My sister and her friends were walking in New York and she got a picture with him bc he stopped them and overheard their accents.

I’m no Olympic swimmer, but I’m comfortable on Sydney beaches. But when I get caught in a rip, I still get a mini heart attack from the realisation you are being pulled out into dark waters. Tip is to swim parallel to the beach immediately. Sometimes you can just float, and start swimming at the end of the rip, and body surf back to the beach. But sometimes, the rip takes you towards rocks, where you can 100% die

[markparkinson]

So glad Jonah didn't die. That would have been tragic.

[donna]

To anyone ever stuck in a rip you need to swim parallel to the beach and then go around it and come in.

[markconstantine]

Imagine if he was on an episode of bondi rescue 😂

[boojoe]

Seems like he would be a cool dude to hang out with

[sirgarypeters]

Conan: So, what state are you in when you get off the plane?

Me: New South Wales.

Jonah: Black out drunk.

Me: Oh.

[ryanmccandlass]

i love conan because his laugh seems so genuine especially compared to fallon

[jemster]

Love Jonah, he's such a great story-teller!

[MARTIN-febw]

He does an Irish accent better than Conan! :O

[angelarorrer]

This delightful set of stories and comments had me in tears. Bless you Jonah, Conan and Andy… 😂

[floraflora]

He is wonderful in "Maniac" . That show is so underrated.

[stealthassasinday]

No human can fight those rip tides in that beach. There's a reason he was saved by a jet ski and not a lifeguard on a paddle.
