Speaker 2: So so anyway, he's away quite a bit, cheering and

18
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: obviously he's away from the family.

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: So when he comes home, he had a bit.

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: Of a surprise his son Noah, who Noah's been through

21
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: quite a bit as well, hasn't he, Siah? Is he

00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: he had cancer when he was four cancer.

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Well Noah is twelve years of age now.

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: And you know what, he got very emotional, Michael Bublo

25
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: when he came home and found out that Noah had

26
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: learned one of his songs on the piano.

27
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: So then Michael didn't believe it.

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: He said to his wife, you start filming and I'll

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: sing along if he does get it right. The song

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: is called I'll Never Not Love You. He wrote this

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: for his wife. And this is his son on the piano.

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: He'll start to cry. Pressure on the kid, he gives

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: you goosebumps.

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: Noah, you can play. It's mad.

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: He's getting emotional, Michael. This is his son on the piano.

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 4: Michael like, oh.

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: He's that great.

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 4: He's so good.

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Do you know the one thing I think about though

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: that I mean the pressure of the kid to be

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: good at music. Yeah, I mean it's it's and you

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: know what, great present for your dad. And you know what,

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: he sounds really good on the piano if you want.

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: But what if there is a moment where the sun

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: goes sitting there with his piano teas you going, I'm

46
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: just not into this at all.

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: I always think about that too, Like if the kids

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: don't share interests, I always think that's cool because I'll

49
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: be able to then learn something else. Well, that's right,

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: so selfishly I'll expand my mind, but by becoming interested

51
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: in what they want to do. That's a nice ale. Yeah, sure,

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll push them really

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: really hard. Says into I want to do and what

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: I like to do. But you're going to learn something

55
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: new but se fits.

56
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 5: What do you do then with the kids if they're

57
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: not into footy, like you've said before, Lenny's not as

58
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: into it, you have.

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: To be one hundred supportive, don't you as you push

60
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: them out of the car football train?

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: What do you mean at the moment?

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: Like Lenny doesn't want to do athletics at the end

63
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: of the year because none of his mates are doing it.

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: It's like and I'm like, well, what else are you

65
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: going to do? And he goes, I don't know, I

66
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: won't do any sport at all. Oh how that Gods,

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: you're not seeing at I'm playing video games.

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: That's why when I reflect on my childhood, I had

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: an outstanding stamp collection, and then I started a butterfly

70
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: collection went down.

71
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: John was John into stamps.

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: John was supportive, Yeah, because quite often I would ask

73
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: for stamps for Christmas to expand my collection. But then

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: when Dad built the butterfly enclosure, I remember him thinking

75
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 3: he must have been thinking now that I look back,

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: what the hell have we given birth?

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: He wouldn't.

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: He would have been loving the fact you were passionate

79
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: about something. Any sort of passion for a kid is fantastic.

80
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: I ran around after school with a net in the

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: backyard trying to catch a monarch.

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: Are you?

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Are you related to somebody famous?

84
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're gonna and you know what, Hannah, Hannah handles.

85
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: This really really well.

86
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: You reckon Hannah Sterling's she's a producer and new producer

87
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: on the show and she is the daughter of Peter Sterling,

88
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: Paramatta's finest New South Wales finest your dad.

89
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: So first of all, Hannah, you're an only child, aren't

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: you correct? Okay? And then so you were born obviously

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: a girl. So what.

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 2: Was your dad's thoughts because everyone would have thought sterle

93
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: I would have loved to have had a boy in

94
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: a little footballer.

95
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 5: You know, he was really happy, at least that's what

96
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 5: he's told me, because Mum had kind of said to him,

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, you know that I couldn't have given you

98
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 5: a son, and you know he could have played footy

99
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: and followed in your footsteps. But I think that's the

100
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 5: last thing that dad wanted. He pushed me in direction

101
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 5: of every other sport, not even women's football.

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: Because now it's a bigger thing.

103
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 5: When I was at school, I actually tried out for

104
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 5: the mixed rugby league team.

105
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: Mom and Dad.

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 5: When when put my name down for it, I was

107
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: the only girl and it was all boys. And then

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 5: I went home told Dad and he's like, absolutely not,

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 5: and I said, nut's all good. I just went for

110
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 5: the free sausage sandwich.

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: So you weren't that interested.

112
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Interesting?

113
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: Can you give us an example though, living in the

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: shadow of Peter Sterling, like some of the examples that

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: you used to cop at school and people trying to

116
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 2: get to your father.

117
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 5: One that really comes to mind was at school, like

118
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 5: when I was a lot younger, scratch and sniff stickers.

119
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: You made it strawberry and.

120
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 5: The more you got, the cooler you were. So teacher

121
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: comes up to me and says, Han, you've been fantastic today.

122
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 5: Can I grab your diary? I'll pop in a good

123
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 5: note in the scratch and sniff And I was like, absolutely,

124
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: here you go.

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: End of the day.

126
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: It gives me back my diary. I go home, open

127
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: it up and it says, hey, Pete any chance we

00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 5: could get tickets to that game.

129
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: You're kidding me coming up this week, You're kidding me.

130
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Nothing to do with you.

131
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 5: Me nothing, But it had absolutely nothing to do anything

132
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: I had done.

133
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: That panel is such a great student. Any chance of

134
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 3: five tickets to the game on the weekend to describe?

135
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 5: And I still know exactly what teacher. I'm not going

136
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: to say it on here, but i'd see him walking

137
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 5: around the snow when I got older and.

138
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080
