00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: they knew who you were, Christian, and they knew about

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: your famous dad, Richard Wilkins. But the stories you've been

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,919

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,080

Speaker 3: Yes.

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: And every week I think that I've reached my peak excitement,

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: and then I hear about what I'm doing the following week,

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,320

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: And he's excited because I look at the outfits that

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: you wear, and you and I have not too dissimilar

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: in dress taste.

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: There have been many times we've almost rocked up to

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: an event wearing the same thing.

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've said, Christian, what the hell I was gonna

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 3: wear that plastic bag with Hessian splits down the side,

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: And now you're wearing.

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: Well, thank god, because I definitely couldn't take the competition.

30
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: I loved it. The night that your dad was in

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: and he was weeping, it was like, are you surprised?

32
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you probably know him as a softie, but

33
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 1: we don't see that side of Richard.

34
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I definitely. I remember one time I

35
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: gave him. It was just a simple photo frame with

36
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: a photo of him and I and he started crying

37
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: for about four hours, and I was like, okay, we

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 2: can start like this. I like a bit of emotion.

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm a bit emotional myself, but this much emotion. I

40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: was like, you need to calm down. But yeah, it

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: was great to see him sort of there and supporting.

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: He's such a great father and he's always loved you.

43
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: Stir him up a bit. It's a great show watching

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: Richard and Christian Wilkins. The Richard and Christian Wilkins Show.

45
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: I remember years ago when you were doing your little

46
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: driving you l played in the Channel nine car park

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: and I just said, why is anyone filming this? There's

48
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: Richard in his Volvo and you were driving it and he says, look,

49
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: don't you don't just stop and you're dad, Dad, and

50
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm just watching this garage.

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: He's a sitcom.

52
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: And I thought, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

53
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: And then you get out of the car and you

54
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: said that's it and you're wearing a dress.

55
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, we watch. My favorite thing at the moment

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: is when I do get to come home for my

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: two days in Sydney and we're watching maths on a Wednesday,

58
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: and that's the thing that we do together. And his

59
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: little commentary to him and he was like, we should

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: be on Google box clock a box. But yeah, we

61
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: have great bounds. We love each other and it's great

62
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: to spend time with him.

63
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: But for all the flamboyance and all the Disney and

64
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: the Kylie the songs you've been dancing to last week,

65
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: it was a song about your high school years and

66
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: it was a very different side to you that we

67
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: saw it. It was beautiful, it was sad, and you

68
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: were just wearing normal clothes. And you said you felt

69
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: a little unmasked in a great way.

70
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely an opportunity for me to just be

71
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: a bit more vulnerable, you know, and kind of take

72
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: down the facade, take down and the mask that we

73
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: kind of all do where And I think working in

74
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 2: the media, everyone does have a media personality. I think

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: it's just something that you adopted as a form of protection.

76
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: But having kind of been brought up in it, I

77
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: feel like I've been allowed this chance to now be

78
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: able to take down that a bit more and actually

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: let people in and see the real met you know that.

80
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: Sure there's a character side, and sure I am flamboyant naturally,

81
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 2: but I also am a real person and I want

82
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: people to get to know that and know that it's

83
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: okay not to be okay, that we can have mental

84
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: health struggles, that we can also be fabulous and none

85
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: of them are mutually exclusive. So Wise, you're so hard

86
