1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Gold. It's Jonesy Demanda driving you home. Here's a lovely

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: story that I read yesterday. Amidst all the misery and

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: the grief of the Bondai massacre in December, has come

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: a really lovely, lovely story. There are two first responders.

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Their names are James or Jimmy and Alexandra or Alexia.

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Alexis's known and they both live in Bondai. They'd done

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: their Bronze Medallion kind of first aid thing together, but

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: never really knew each other. But they were both there

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: on the night because they're going to a Christmas party

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: of some mutual friends. They were there when these terrible

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: event's unfolded and they both thought, well, what training can

12
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: we bring to this, how can we help? They leaped

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: in and they were both working to save a man

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: who was shot in the leg, and they've fallen in love.

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: So this lovely couple who lived a couple of streets

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: from each other in Bondi. As I said, they didn't

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: really know each other, just vague acquaintances. And as they say,

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: it feels like a miracle even to them. They were

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: thrown together on the events of that terrible night, and

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: what is lovely is that they saw the best in

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: each other in the worst of circumstances. As he has

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: said it says in this article, they'd seen the good

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: in each other. They'd witnessed how they'd handled pressure and

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: their care they took with the injured. And so they

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: got a man into an ambulance and he's being driven

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: to hospital, and they were driving along behind to make

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: sure all was well. I think they had someone in

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: their car as well. And he said that Lexi phoned

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: her mum to chat with her in the car, and

30
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: he remembers thinking, she's so strong and it's inherent in

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: her and in her family, and I love this. So

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: they saw vulnerability in each other and because of that,

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: they wanted to take it slow because I thought we've

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: both been in these scary circumstances. But they just could

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: not stop talking to each other, holding on to each other,

36
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: and they fell in love and they're getting married, and

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: I love this part of the story. Rabbi Levi Wolfe

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: was so delighted to hear the story. He's made a

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: spur of the moment off. But he could marry them

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: in the synagogue, the first non Jewish car right honor,

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: and that might be what they'll do. You know, I

42
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: was at the traffic lights the other day and it

43
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: was just this little sticker that just said Love Always wins.

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's what it is. That's what it is,

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: and that's what you do. That's what you need to

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: hold on to. So that's a beautiful story. Great story.

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: Good luck to them both. Maybe a good portent for Instagram.

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Well yes, since it hasn't gone off for a while. Yeah,

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: be good. If you won Love Always wins, you could win.

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Thirteen fifty five twenty two Why did you give us

51
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: a call? On Gold
