Gary Davies sits in, with Jason Manford

Jason Manford chats to Gary about his new UK stand-up tour and TV panel show for Comedy Central, The Complaints Department. Plus Jay Flynn returns with his Virtual Quiz.

Jason Manford chats to Gary about his new UK stand-up tour, Like Me, and his Comedy Central panel show, The Complaints Department. The show sees two teams of well-known comics revelling in the thing this country might well be best at - complaining. Over a series of rounds, the teams will be presented with the finest of moans, whines and protests from the great British public and beyond, from the internet, tweets, interviews and good-old fashioned stiff letters. As well as finding the funny in the complaints, the teams will be bringing their own gripes to get off their chests.

Plus Jay Flynn returns with another round of his Virtual Radio Quiz where he tests the team on their general knowledge to see who comes out on top.

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Gary and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a Pause For Thought from Rabbi Dr Harvey Belovski and listeners on the line as Gary entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

The most intense period of the Jewish calendar ended last night.听听After almost a month of festivals, including the Jewish New Year, the Day of Atonement and Sukkot 鈥� that鈥檚 the one when we live in huts 鈥� it鈥檚 finally over.听听It鈥檚 been exhausting, but absolutely exhilarating.听听I鈥檝e spoken dozens of times, led countless services and I鈥檝e done my best to inspire and entertain the members of my wonderful community throughout.听听Initial feedback suggests that it鈥檚 all been worth it. Some might be wondering what happens on the day after, apart from clearing up the mess and trying to get some sleep.听听It鈥檚 a bigger question that applies not just to rabbis finishing their busy season, but to the day after any major life event that鈥檚 preceded by a major build-up.听听It could be a wedding, a significant birthday, leaving a job.听听What does the next day look like?听听How do we deal with the lack of focus once it鈥檚 all over without becoming deflated?

听

Ancient Jewish tradition helps us to think about this.听听It names the day after the festivals are over: Isru Chag, words from psalms that mean something like 鈥榯ie the festival鈥�.听A modern alternative might be 鈥榟ard-wire the festival鈥�.听听It鈥檚 an odd phrase with a simple message 鈥� the festival season was never intended to fade into nothing more than a distant memory.听听Instead, the Jewish way is to try to 鈥榟ard-wire鈥� the inspiration, celebration, love and commitment to change of the festival into the day after they finish and into life beyond.

听

I believe we feel sad the day after a family wedding or a festival because the excitement of the day has been and gone and there鈥檚 nothing to look forward to.听But it seems to me that weddings and the like are really about celebrating new beginnings 鈥� the start of a couple鈥檚 married life together or a fresh way of thinking about life after the festivals are over.听听By focusing on beginnings rather than ends, we can 鈥榟ard-wire鈥� the wedding or festival mindset into daily life. And I鈥檝e come to realise that this was really the purpose of the festivals all along.听The extraordinary highs of the Day of Atonement or a wedding aren鈥檛 sustainable, but they don鈥檛 have to be.听Even once they鈥檙e over, the moments are hard-wired into our consciousness; a part of us for good.
