FULL: Light Will Win

Today on the Christian O'Connell Show, the Prime Minister joins the conversation to talk about a national day of mourning and unity after the recent Bondi attacks. They discuss the importance of coming together as a nation and remembering the victims, as well as the Jewish community's concept of a "mitzvah" - an act of kindness and compassion. The Prime Minister shares stories of the incredible acts of selflessness and bravery shown by those affected, and encourages listeners to show their support by lighting a candle, flying flags at half-mast, and performing acts of kindness.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Good morning, Pats, good morning, good morning, Alex morning, good morning, Rio,
good morning. In any given day, adulting is just trying
to get the mental energy to tick something from that
to do list, just one. I don't know about you guys,
but if I have three actually pretty easy to do
list things to do, it's too much. It's actually is

(00:56):
too much for me. I just collapse under the pressure.
My car three days ago didn't start. I still haven't
got round my to do list to call the RCV
out to come and fix it. I've been driving around
in my daughter's kit I've been using that, and only
yesterday did I realized why some people are getting annoyed
with me, because I'm clearly not someone who should be
driving around in a tiny little car wearing pea plates.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
I forgot she's got peaplates.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh, I know. People get rid of it with there's
a grown man. I either think, oh my god, he's
left it. This look good on him. Do you know what?
Good on him? He finally passed that test, or they're
also thinking you shouldn't be driving around if you're not
a pea pater?

Speaker 6 (01:34):

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (02:14):
But how that peptal go?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh yeah really well, always great when any pairent goes hey, hey, hey,

It's like the dad in Footloos John Lithgow who banned
dancing from the area. Hey, hey, hey, I know who
you mum and dad are. Hey, this is why you
want to be successful in life. You can't get out

(02:37):
successful people don't get about midday. I beat Churchill did, Yeah,
I think he did get out of bed at midday,
then have a long bath and drink three bottles of
champagne and then start speaking to people about the war and.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
Had lots of naps. I remember reading lots of bars,
lots of naps. That's how he won the war.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Maybe raising the next Churchill. We don't know church next
great leader of the world.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Good Morning The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Now, Alex, Yes, why haven't you told us that it's
the Winter Olympics in a couple of weeks time?

Speaker 5 (04:16):
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I just someone came up on Instagram for me yesterday,
Go and get ready, someone's here.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
The Winter Olympics, and I thought it was deep fake.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yes, yeah, way on to Google went Winter Olympics twenty
and I didn't finish it before it goes. Yeah, twenty
twenty six is to Winter Olympics next month. It's to
Winter Olympics.

Speaker 9 (04:34):
Yeah, from the sixth of February until Sunday, the twenty
second of February.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Now, why no mention of it so far? Because we're
no this is what?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Now?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
We come to the crux of it. If Australia aren't
that good at it, you won't hear about it.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Yeah, then it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
You can't do sport like this Australia. The last one
was a care brush it. This is sort thing Trump
would do if it was in charge of sport. On
a radio show in Australia, just don't mention the Winter Olympics.

Speaker 9 (05:03):
We had an aerial skier, Lissa Camplin. She won gold
and we haven't done much since.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
Yeah, we'd it's very appropriate that, Steve.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
You're not telling me some of those slight ski slopes
you have around Australia aren't producing the next generation of champions. Yeah,
I look at you.

Speaker 6 (05:20):
We're only on three medals at the last Winter Olympics.
What do you mean only? I think that's.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
You think that the money it takes to train them
for four years and send them out there, put them
up in that Olympic village.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
I don't say, you up there on the sl not
my job.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
It's not his job, is it. I'm also not going,
So that's that's kind of so we got any hopes
at all?

Speaker 9 (05:46):
I don't think so. Not really, Well, there's a couple.
There's a couple and it's in Milan and Cortina. Dumb Pizzo,
I like saying, dumb pets.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I guess you're a country like Australia. You're not gonna
smash it.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
No, it's too hot, you look at.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like And also if for the Summer Olympics are just
more exciting, aren't they? Yes?

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah, like that the Winter Olympics. What's there to get that?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Side about watching that downhill slalom thing when they're knocking
the flags over. Yeah, that's cool, they knocked them all over.
But it's like a couple of hours of that. That's
side to side. The ice skating is as done as anything. Yes, no, no, no,
I tell you what I remember years ago we got
really excited. We won gold in an event called curling.

(06:29):
Oh yes, now you need to do no cardio. There's
no sweeping. Team gb that won it all had beer,
guts and breasts and it was just like they've never
done they've you don't need to do any gym work.
And you had broom, you had brooms and they sort
of cylindical thing was like held down and then two

(06:51):
guys on their skates were just brushing the way ahead
of it, like they worked for the local council clearing
a path. We won gold at that and it was
just like they were not having an open top bus parade.
Because if you think you're bad it Winter Olympics, Team
GB are terrible as well. I work colder than we

(07:11):
yet it's cold but not cold enough, right, it's not
cold like Russia.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, no, no Alps.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
No, there's no, there's no Alps. It's all in.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's mainly a European and Russian dominated event, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
They just clean up and China.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
So we're not gonna hear anything come unless as a medal.

Speaker 9 (07:27):
We are good at snowboarding Scottie James. Yeah, amazing snowboarder. Yeah,
we've also got Valentino Gucelli. And I tell you what,
Alex beonest? Have you just had a quick Google search?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Yep, I can tell you he won't quiet.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
They went route for thirty seconds and he starts reading
names out in the background, silent whisper typing.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Did any of you know it's the Winter Olympics in
a couple of weeks time. No, The reason is because
you suck and I'm not judging. We suck even worse.
Team GB won only two gold medals four years ago,
same event, Men and women, we love to curl. Who
knew you were killing global powerhouse? That are we lining

(08:13):
up to try and beat us? Take that title gold
and silver? Which sent fifty professional athletes to China and
came up with two medals of gold and a silver.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Do you know what we got?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
The Prime ministerore on no hours time. We're going to
say to him, Hey, listen mate, do you know it's
the Olympics Winter Olympics.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
I bet he doesn't about that Winter Olympics.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I'm going to hit pitching my new idea skis for schools. Okay,

the screens, get them on the slopes on the skis.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
Yes back in the early two thousand's Rove Live, biggest
show in the country, Sunday Night and its best feature,
iconic feature, flick your switch. The camera would pan to
a random street in Australia, and I.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Love the fact that. Bless you your little child. You

Speaker 8 (25:21):

and then you'd flick your switch. If you were watching
and our house was on one of the streets that
it panned to, I jumped up from the telly and
I flicked our.

mom and dad say him? So?

Speaker 5 (29:16):
What was the story? Give us a context?

Speaker 16 (29:19):
Well, okay, twenty five years ago. I used to get
in a stand up comedy. I went to gigs, I
got to meet people. I would got to see the
goodies in the city with a girlfriend, well.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
The actual good girdy girdie gum drop.

Speaker 14 (29:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (29:34):
I just met Tim and Graham. My girlfriend Gami lived
home to the Dingley International. She dropped me off. I
saw Dave Hughes and said, mate, great show. I need
to lift home. It's on the way to your place.

Speaker 14 (29:45):
You got to go get.

Speaker 16 (29:46):
Shelton to get this and killed he can. Yeah, you,
no worries. So we met up. I went through the kitchen,
through the service elevator like in the movies, down the lift,
down the back out to his monaro. He chucked a
lot of stuff in the back seat, hopped in. He
drove me home. We had to chat about how the
show was, and would like to meet Tim and Graham,
games and money for fuel and dropped me off, and

(30:07):
we should like to lucky week on over mate, have
a good one. Say wow, he doesn't.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
Need money if he's.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Shame on this is that? So they want a lot
of coin. It was a big show. Great show as well.
Him and Kate on Nova taking money off you for fuel.
But that's a very kind thing to do as well.
Can you say the phrase? It was like in the movies,
you know, like Goodfellows where there is one tracking shot
where they go through this amazing restaurant and then it's

(30:35):
at the Dingley Internationals that don't go together Dingley and International.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
The Christian O'Connell show podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
What is your weakest claim to Fame? And with us
no claim to fame is two week John Farnham's brother
in Law's dog Groomers straight on air, straight on through.
I love this one that is coming in Christian weakest
claim to fan I used to play golf with a
guy who was the driver of the truck. So our

(31:07):
correspondent here to play golf with the guy who drove
the truck transporting Lady Diana's wedding dress. Oh and it
was a massive dress along what was the word trail train, train, train,
dress train. It must have been what thirty forty five?
It was huge, Yes, made head. It literally was global

(31:29):
news with the size of this.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
Train and set wedding dress design for the next about
two decades.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
So this guy you would have had to go to budget,
you know, Van rental's go and need the biggest one
he got made this bloody wedding dress he's got it
was huge. Have not to try to stand on that,
you'll break it, you know. All Right, we've got time
for a couple of calls before the new support headlines. Anitail,
Welcome to the.

Speaker 15 (31:52):
Show, Hi, Christian, loved the show.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Thank you very much, Nita, and thanks for giving us
a cool as well and giving the show a go.
All right, now, what's your story for us?

Speaker 15 (32:02):
My mother was a nurse for Slim Dusty back in
the early two thousands when he had his shoulder done.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Wow, that is a big claim to fame. That's nothing more.
I can't icon it than Slim Dusty in this country.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
Yeah, yes, and the shoulder crucial.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
You can't strum a banjo until I've got a pub
with no beer. If you've got you know, scapular or
dealt problems.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
That's Australia's shoulder now wrote a cuff.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I don't know what the symptom was, Anita, thank you
very much for sharing that.

Speaker 15 (32:30):
Have a good day you two, Christian, Bye bye see ye.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Have we got here?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Zoey Hi? I love Zoe. Sorry, what's your story for us.
All this to your weakest claim to fame.

Speaker 15 (32:41):
So my weakest claim to fame is that my second
cousin was one of the queen's chefs.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
That is big.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
So we've had two Farnum's two wars.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
You're right, actually so actually four royalty ones. This is great.
One of her chefs.

Speaker 15 (33:00):
Yeah, one of her chefs in Buckingham Palace.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
What a great gig. I mean, she must have earned
so many interesting stories.

Speaker 15 (33:06):
Yeah, he had a lot of inting stories and it
actually skyrocketed his career. Yeah, just really really good.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Well, it's a It's a big flex on any resume,
isn't it if you're applying for a chef's job, you know,
an IRA seller or part and.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
One of the chefs to the queen. It's fussy Eta
as well.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
You overburned that snag on the barber chef, throw in
your face.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Did he say what her favorite meal was?

Speaker 5 (33:37):
No?

Speaker 14 (33:37):
I think because she had so many, I think he
might have Yeah, like I yeah, I don't think that
he kind of knew what her favorite was because there
were just so many.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Now tell me this, there's different areas, oh, for chefs
to specialize in.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
Was he a pastry chef.

Speaker 15 (33:58):
I don't think he was a pastry chef. I've kind
of got a feeling he was more of a sioux chef.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Oh, she loves sue food in the morning. She woul
always say, if I'm up, get the sioux on, crank it.

Speaker 5 (34:16):
I love this.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
And also any chef could say this because actually, how
do you know you will? Look, here's a selfie meet
with with the Queen and a lot of Sue that
I just made up for a fresh and look she's
giving the old double thumbs up.

Speaker 5 (34:34):
All right, So thank you very much for giving us
a call.

Speaker 15 (34:36):
Have a good day, you two guys.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Hey, good morning. This is the Christian O'Connell Show. Now,
today is a very important day. It is a national
day of Morning Dual. The next ten minutes, the Prime
Minister's going to be calling the show. Now. I know
a lot of you are new to the show and
you're trying to work out what there is show about.
This is not a show where we're going to have
politicians on every single week. Today is not a day
for politics. It's a day of remembrance, a day of

(35:03):
coming together after what happened after the atrocity in Bondai.
So the Prime minis there is the elected leader of
this country and I thought we'd go right to top
to find out what is happening today at one minutes
past seven and what is the invitation for all of
us tonight and joined today to our on a national
day of morning. So you the next ten minutes, the
Prime Minister is on the one thing that we can

(35:25):
all take over the last couple of weeks, there were
so many incredible acts of selfless courage and kindness and
that is the real heart of Australia.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Christian O'Connell show, go on podcast now.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
At any moment now we are going to be taking
a call from the Prime Minister who is calling the
show today very important day for all of us. It
is a national day of Morning after the Bondi attacks
and to tell us all about it and why this matters,
and the invitation tonight as well. One minute past seven
is the Prime Minister, welcome back to the show.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Good to be with you.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Now tell us about today. This is a national day
of mourning. It's been builders Light will Win, a gathering
of unity and remembrance which is beautiful and what does
that mean to you, Prime Minister.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Well, it is words that have come from the spiritual
leader of the Habat Jewish community there in Bondai, Rabbi Alma,
and I think they're very poetic and it says a
lot sometimes just a few words can. This needs to

(36:36):
be a moment of remembrance for the fifteen innocent lives
that were taken on that devastating evening at Bondou Beach,
but it also needs to be a message of hope
that light will win. It was the first night of Harneka,
which the Jewish community celebrate the victory of light over darkness.

(37:00):
It's a really positive message of hope and a gathering
of unity. Is calling for all of us Australians, Jewish
and non Jewish, to commemorate the day in a collective spirit,
to remember why we are the greatest nation on earth,

(37:22):
that we are a nation that do respect each other.
People of different faiths, different backgrounds have come to make
Australia their home and that unity is what is so
important going forward. So I think this will be a
moment of unity and a moment of hope, but also

(37:44):
an opportunity for Australia to look forward as well and
to cherish what makes us such a great nation.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Well said, I think it's a lovely thing. I think
it's a very important thing for all of us tonight.
So it's a one minute past seven and what is
it that you know there are a lot of people
listening all across Australia right now, Prime Minister, and so
your words can really help me tonight. What can people
do because people want to solidarity. We're living in very
divided times, you know, around the world. We see the news.
We see the news like Bondi happening here as well.

(38:16):
This doesn't feel like Australia. So remembrance is also about
remembering what it is what matters to us to get
around each other tonight. So what can people do tonight?
At one minute past seven?

Speaker 2 (38:27):
That's right, Well, at one minute past seven, we're asking
that the nation pause for a minute silence out of
respect for the victims of this terrorist attack. During the day,
flags will be flown at half masts at all comme
op and state buildings around the country, and buildings and
landmarks across the country like the mcg the story Bridge,

(38:51):
Adelaide town Hall, off the stadium will be lit up
this evening and we'll see an installation which is fifteen
pillars of light shining brightly into the night sky right
across Australia. And the other thing that people can do
this evening is light a candle and put it in

(39:13):
their window sill or the front of their home out
of respect as well as a symbol of remembrance, of
mourning and solidarity as well. Will be a thing. The
other really something that I have been lifted up by

(39:34):
this concept that the Jewish community have of a mitzvah,
which is essentially an active kindness, compassion and a way
of reaching out. It essentially can be volunteering, donating some
money to a charity, helping a neighbor, knocking on the

(39:59):
door asking people okay who might be living alone or
people who are lonely, just an active kindness. It's a
really lovely concept to show that we are a country
that value that attribute that we have of kindness and generosity,

(40:21):
and it is it is a beautiful thing. I think
that I've been spoken to by a number of the
family members who lost loved ones in this tragedy, and
it is a really positive way of responding.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I know you've spoken with a lot of the families,
you spent a lot of time with them.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
How are they all doing?

Speaker 1 (40:45):
You know, it's you know, it's a chance for us
to show that tonight we stand together, but also we
stand with them in their grief as well, that they're
not forgotten. I know time does move on, but actually
it's a chance for all of Australia to stand together
with the Jewish community and people who lost their lives.
But the families who are left behind without those family members.

Speaker 16 (41:07):
They try.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
They know it's been an incredibly tough period. These are
people who were celebrating their faith in an event at
Bondi Beats is such an iconic location when people think
about Australia, many of the shots that will be taken

(41:30):
overseas will be of that beautiful beach and it's a
place of peace and gathering and the local community there,
the Jewish community have gathered there for many years for
the first night of Harneker and it's an open event.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
They have.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Pets and things for the children. They have a gathering
with food and music and it's a really positive event.
And the fact that fifteen people lost their lives but
many more injured as well. People are visited in hospitals,

(42:18):
some are still doing it incredibly, incredibly tough. It's a
difficult period and this is a time where I think
the whole of Australia can wrap their arms around the community.
Because it was a deliberate and conscious evil targeting of

(42:41):
the Jewish community as well. It has had an impact
on the entire Jewish Australian community. So I think it
is a way of us reaffirming that we not only
want people to celebrate their faith and who they are.

(43:06):
All are enriched by the diversity in our community and
we really want to see tonight as and today is
a real opportunity to reaffirm that.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
I think us a love the invitation for us. Aul
tell me this, we talk about those who are injured.
How is armored? I know that everyone want to know
how is the great Man? How is armored? I understand
he's obviously he's still going through his own journey of
healing as well. Is he in America at the moment
getting treatment?

Speaker 5 (43:35):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (43:36):
He is now? I think he has returned by understanding,
is that he is back here? He had many of
the people who were injured essentially had shrapnel fragments and
still in them, and it's expected that there will be

(43:58):
a number of operations armed Hlhammad is so positive though
I visited him in hospital in the days after the attack,
a genuine hero and he, you know, is very positive
going forward. But many of the people there is a

(44:20):
young man Yankee super who was a volunteer in what
is the Jewish version of Saint John's Ambulance, will be
more familiar to too. I think many of the listeners
he has literally I've seen his x rays. He has

(44:46):
literally hundreds of bits of shrapnel still in him and
he's torso he was unbelievable that he was able to survive.
When you see this another x ray that shows a
bullet very close to his lung and one of the

(45:10):
lungs has been contracted as a lot smaller than the
other one, you literally can see the damage that's done, and.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
You know, he.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Is so positive. It's extraordinary. I've met with him a
couple of times. He was in Canberra this week and
I also met with him in Sydney, and he's just
a delightful young man who's absolutely determined to make a
positive contribution to the nation and there's no bitterness, There's

(45:43):
nothing there but joy and pride. This is a guy
who you know was is there again one of the
people essentially running towards danger, helping out his fellow people,
fellow humanity. He's a remarkable young man and I've been

(46:09):
privileged to meet so many courageous, thoughtful, positive people as
a result of what occurred. It's been a real privilege.
They've been so generous in welcoming me into homes and

(46:33):
synagogues and having meetings. I've had them at Kirribilly House
and other members of the community have been at a
multi house at the Governor Generals and this week I
sat down on Monday in my office in Parliament House
and it's a community that is mourning, is going through

(46:59):
an incredibly difficult time, and I just hope and I'm
sure that it will be a positive, uplifting experience for
them today as much as it will also be very difficult.
They're very much missing their loved ones.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
I think it's a very important thing that we mark
today because I think it's also the show that we're
with the people who lost their loved ones, but also
also all those stories you just shared that we don't
know about, to show that we see what they did
and that's the true spirit of Australia. It's not the attack,
it's those stories you have talked about. That young guy
was shrapping in him, who ran towards danger. That's the

(47:45):
real story of what's happened over the last couple of
weeks and that's why today really is a day to
reflect that back to those people as well, and to
show the Jewish community that we stand united with them
as well. Prime Minister. I know you've got a lot
on today. Thank you very much for talking to us.
It's at one minute past seven tonight. That's right, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Light well Wed, that's right, Thanks very much, Christian.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Christian O'Connell show.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Good morning, Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show on Gold.
It is day four now. If you're new to the show,
first of all, thank you and welcome. Every day this
week around about Harpos four, I met myself a cup
of tea and I have been calling back everyone who's
been on air with us this week.

Speaker 5 (48:26):
It'spent to ten listeners yesterday.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Left voicemails for three who missed my call or maybe
intentionally missed my call.

Speaker 5 (48:32):
Is that English guy? Was he doing house calls forty four?

Speaker 1 (48:38):
And I'm getting to know a lot of people who
are giving the show a go in Sydney and it
means the most to me and the team. And I
know the show's new for some of you here in Melbourne.
You might have just come across recently, but we've been
on air together in this country now for seven half
years since I moved here. The whole thing for me,
what the show is about is about bringing people together,

(48:59):
which is why I want to get the Prime in
restaurant now. I've had quite a few emails and I
get it. Not everyone voted for him. There's never been
less trust in our elected leaders. I understand and all
of that today. Though for me, the reason why I
wanted to get the Prime Minister on was actually because
this is Dave of Unity and there are quite a
few people who are email is saying please don't get
the Prime minister again. He's this, that and the other.

(49:20):
And the thing is, I don't care. Today's in a
day for politics. It's actually about bringing us together. And
i'd advise you all if you're sending those emails to me,
don't bother do something more positive and enjoyable with your
time and actually paused you on this day of remembrance
and unity. What are you going to do today that
is about that and speaks to that. I don't care

(49:41):
what you think of the Prime Minister. I get it,
you're inteled your opinion. I'm entitled to use this breakfast
show for three hours to do what I want to do.
The show is about bringing people together. We call it
the bright side of the doll. If you don't get that,
and you actually get more joy from being angry, and
it does make us all, it does give us a thrill.
Sometimes that's not what I'm about for six to night.

(50:02):
It's better you don't listen to the show anymore. Please go,
I'm only going to upset you with joy for three hours.
Some people don't want joy. You make your choices in life,
but don't email me. I don't care. They're being deleted
today in the bigger thing that the Prime Minister we're
talking about, with something way bigger than politics. If you
don't get that, you're certainly not going to get me

(50:23):
in the morning. This is what this show is about.
For the rest of you. Open hearted souls, welcome to us,
and the bright side of the dial.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Always look on the bride side of the dial. The
Christian o'connal Show will make you smile. If your days
just begun with clouds instead of sun.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
Your socks don't match, no battery on your phone. If
the news is pretty grim, dread and go on to
the gym.

Speaker 10 (50:59):
Just remember, silly bugger, you're not alone, and always look
on the bride side of the dial. The Christian o'connal show, Oh,
make smile all together now.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
If you're struggling to smile, then stay with us a while.
God laughs and games and stories to be told.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
We'd love for you to join us. Make a joyless morning, joyous.

Speaker 10 (51:31):
Just move the little dial onto gold and always look gone.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
That's what this show is about. You're the bright side
is This is the bright side, ladar, right now until
the next ten minutes, small thing, big joy, and anything
that brings you joy is significant for me right now.
What is like to me and my family up is
there is a bird's nest just under the gutter attached
to our house, and there have been birds growing up

(51:58):
and the first.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
One flew away and left the nest yesterday.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
Yes, And what's been interesting is the reaction from my
nineteen and twenty one year old daughters, Ruby and Lewis,
who have over the last three years flared the nest.
And my nineteen year old daughter who left home last
year to go to university. She's been out there feeding them. Oh,
that is so hid But do you need do we

(52:23):
need to buy organic strawberries.

Speaker 5 (52:28):
A pesticide version.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
I'll have the organic strawberries. Seriously, I'm going to be
wigging me living in that nest soon the cost of
these strawberries. You're feeding them, but they're tiny, little tom tums.
They're happy with some earth and one.

Speaker 8 (52:43):
How are you doing though You've had all your your
daughters leave the nest and they've got more birds leaving
than nest flying from the gutter?

Speaker 6 (52:49):
Are you okay?

Speaker 1 (52:50):
Two things happened at the same time yesterday. Rio, So
my nineteen year old daughter are lower she's filming it.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
I don't know what it's for Snapchat. I don't know
what they do with all this endless filming of content. Anyway,
she's filming it, and I notice she's getting a bit emotional,
and I said, listen, it's the right thing to have to.
They have to leave the nest. And actually, if you
look in that nest, they're too big. They're getting too big.
It's actually a little bit uncomfortable. They're becoming a bit
of a pain now. And I think the dad and

(53:18):
mam are going, it's time to get you out this nest.

Speaker 6 (53:20):
They're not paying rent.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Int you's a little bit testing now. Go find your
own strawberries. Go fight strawies. And also it's the sight.
They're going to get bored in that monkey old nest.
Some of the nest is made from a coffee garden
as well. Why they couldn't tear up with their little
beaks of mum and dad. So I said, this is
that's not life in there. They need to leave, to

(53:42):
fly away and see what an amazing world it is
high up there. As I'm saying this, I'm getting choked up.
My daughter's getting choked and she goes, oh, oh this
is about us leaving her?

Speaker 5 (53:52):
Yeah, I thought you a teacher. Time Let me chop
up some over bryce strawberries for you.
