Jason Lauren clint here as where are you listening to? Nober one hundred? God means what.

Jason Lawrence reconnects for Christmas.

Oh, I can't tell you how many people reached out to me yesterday saying I love this and I can't wait to do it on Wednesday next week.

We want you to reconnect.

With someone you miss, not someone you've necessarily had a falling out with, someone that you just haven't seen for a while because time has flown by. I actually I said to you yesterday, Jace, I tried to call you and I accidentally called a different Jason my phone and they ended up having a twenty minute conversation with a friend of mine who I hadn't spoken to him so long.

I did.

I said, this is a pocodile because he called me back. I tried to cancel it and then I said, but let's chat anyway.

And it was great.

It was so nice. So we want to reconnect Melbourne for Christmas.

It is reconnect Day. It's Wednesday. Joe Anne wants to be a part of it.

Morning, Good morning, guys.

How are where good? Is this struck a chord with you? Is there someone you're thinking about?

It? Has it? Has? There is someone I'm thinking about. Her name is Sarah.

Yep.

Sarah's from Brunswick and we were best is all through primary school, all through high school, even a little after high school when I moved to Werribee and she was still in Brunswick. We still had that connection. And then weddings happened, babies happened, and we just lost part. It was, yeah, just lost patch. She did come to my fortieth though, Yeah, I just reached out to her, but that was eight years ago and we haven't seen each other since.

When she rocked up at the fortieth was it was it like there was no time the past.

It was it was it really was. We just brought back old memories and you know, used each other's nicknames that we had.

Three other nicknames Joe.

What made a special Joe?

I think just that we grew up together and our families were friends as well. And her mum and dad are great. I think they I believe they still live in the same count Wound. And yeah, we just spoke about things that you wouldn't talk to other people about.

And right, that's a theme that's coming up.

You can't make that up with anyone else.

Joe, do you love the idea of this day of reconnecting with an old pelp?

I do?

I do.

I do love it, And it sort of gives me an excuse too. I mean I probably could. I've only got her a messenger, So that's okay. You know, I could easily just send her a message.

But it's just that initial message, isn't it.

Yes, Yes, most definitely.

So you're going to do it next Wednesday? On Reconnecting, I am.

I am gonna definitely do it, And I do hope she's listening because she'll know exactly, she'll recognize my voice, she'll know the history. Her nickname was so Got and mine was Joza.

Well there you go, you know that. So she's listening. Get ready next Wednesday, you guys are gonna catch up.

And you know what, she's at the nail on the head. Use this is the reason or excuse to reach out. It takes away the awkwardness. Just hey, I heard of it reconnect day on Nova. You jumped into my mind straight away how you're being.

It doesn't mean you have to have this huge commitment that you're going to see each other every week. And it's just like, hey, I've been thinking of you, and it's so nice to think so fondly of someone that you used to spend so much time with and know that you've still got it.

And then you don't have to talk to them for another year until we roll this day out again next year once again, Reconnect Day. We're going to do it next week Saturday Day.

So if there is someone you're thinking about, just sit on it for now, hold it to next Wednesday, and we're all going to send a text or a voice note or make a call.
