Speaker 1: Christians The Christian O'Connell show podcast. So over the last
Speaker 1: couple of days been taking my sixteen year old daughter
Speaker 1: Ruby out driving for the first time. She passed her
Speaker 1: online driver's test on Friday. Tomorrow, the actual professional drive
Speaker 1: instructor picks her up. In the meantime. It's dead and
Speaker 1: I've got some I'm enjoying it. It is stressful at
Speaker 1: times for our relationship. That breaks your friend or i'm.
Speaker 1: I took her out for the first time on Friday night.
Speaker 1: She'd never been in a car before driving it. Nopek reverse,
Speaker 1: now straight it and then you can pull out that way.
Speaker 1: Stop stop s all right, no, no, no, you don't need
Speaker 1: to panic. Remember the break that breaks your friend or
Speaker 1: i'm the break is your friend. Hello to the trade
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday morning in his Hi Visit orange floor
Speaker 1: over top who just cycled past me and went, ohy,
Speaker 1: the break is your friend and said no more him.
Speaker 1: Stop to say hello, whoever you are, thank you already
Speaker 1: cheered me up too far over time comes to stop
Speaker 1: and take a right here down your case done. That's
Speaker 1: why I hear a lot is this. You do a
Speaker 1: very good job of remaining Come well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Yesterday she wanted to go out three times. You know
Speaker 1: what it actually generally reminds me of as a dad,
Speaker 1: is what I taught both my girls to ride their bikes,
Speaker 1: and all they want to do then was get out
Speaker 1: on those bikes. Because it's your freedom, isn't it. And
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, you don't remember learning to walk,
Speaker 1: which is your first bit of freedom, take yourself wherever
Speaker 1: you want to go, But your bike I remember, And
Speaker 1: I looked at you, you thought, this is it. I'm
Speaker 1: like an adult now I could just take off out
Speaker 1: of here on my bicycle. And now she's getting the
Speaker 1: taste of a different kind of freedom. She just can't
Speaker 1: wait to get in that car. So yesterday I think
Speaker 1: I confused her a bit. Yesterday when we were at
Speaker 1: a T junction, I was giving her too many directions.
Speaker 1: See if you can count play along at home, count
Speaker 1: how many different ways I was trying to get her
Speaker 1: to look stopping now, So just sort of just start
Speaker 1: to break you always looking that way into oncoming, then
Speaker 1: this way, and then back that way, that way, that way,
Speaker 1: then that way. You can go at four up down
Speaker 1: underneath it's just three sixty to scan everything. Get over,
Speaker 1: Get over now, it's where you hit me yesterday we
Speaker 1: were approaching. I don't know, she keeps doing this. Maybe
Speaker 1: we all did this way. You know, you see something
Speaker 1: like I mustn't hit that, but you somehow gravitate to.
Speaker 1: It was a flipping great boat. You know that people
Speaker 1: just leave their boats outside the front of the house, right,
Speaker 1: And it had like this huge twin propellers on my side,
Speaker 1: and she was veering me into these two big propellers,
Speaker 1: you know, and they're blades. Get over, get over, not
Speaker 1: even going Hey, hey, all the calmness from the breaks
Speaker 1: your friend arrived, it's gone now. Because I actually thought
Speaker 1: I'm going to get mashed. You hit a boat. It's
Speaker 1: a shipwreck on the road. Land wreck. Get over, get over.
Speaker 1: You know what I realized yesterday, how I really don't
Speaker 1: want to die. People would say they've had a near sperence, Loka.
Speaker 1: I just felt like it wasn't my time, so I've
Speaker 1: still got life to the I don't want to die.
Speaker 1: Get over, get over it. Yeah, I went that way,
Speaker 1: not into propeller. So we face planting a propeller. I
Speaker 1: own my money for my looks. People can't see on
Speaker 1: the radios. Yeah, but they don't want to hear a
Speaker 1: propeller face. Man, that is true. You don't want to
Speaker 1: but yeah, the panic here, Get over. Get over. The
