Speaker 2: a big weekend for your family. Your daughter Ordi was

8
00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:35,284
Speaker 2: in this production of Xanadu and killed at that beautiful

9
00:00:35,325 --> 00:00:36,165
Speaker 2: work theaterday.

10
00:00:36,445 --> 00:00:39,364
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was so good. The kids were

11
00:00:39,405 --> 00:00:43,484
Speaker 3: on roller skates and they had outfits. It was so

12
00:00:43,485 --> 00:00:46,085
Speaker 3: so good. They did a fantastic job.

13
00:00:46,485 --> 00:00:49,364
Speaker 1: So this was a school production. This was another organization.

14
00:00:49,565 --> 00:00:52,845
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Stage School Australia. So they're like a theater

15
00:00:53,045 --> 00:00:55,805
Speaker 3: sort of school that the kids do outside of school

16
00:00:55,845 --> 00:00:58,925
Speaker 3: and it is just brilliant. They have little little tiny

17
00:00:59,005 --> 00:01:01,444
Speaker 3: kids right up to like eighteen nineteen year olds.

18
00:01:01,445 --> 00:01:03,965
Speaker 2: And my daughters did this in the UK and they're

19
00:01:04,005 --> 00:01:07,125
Speaker 2: not particularly sporting.

20
00:01:06,805 --> 00:01:10,085
Speaker 3: Gifted, and it's like can relate.

21
00:01:11,565 --> 00:01:14,005
Speaker 2: And they but what they found through is it it

22
00:01:14,085 --> 00:01:17,125
Speaker 2: was another way for them to get in a team

23
00:01:17,405 --> 00:01:19,085
Speaker 2: and sport isn't the only way to do that. And

24
00:01:19,085 --> 00:01:21,285
Speaker 2: they made so many great friends that Camorage where you

25
00:01:21,285 --> 00:01:23,645
Speaker 2: getting through the nerves of it all and the productions.

26
00:01:24,125 --> 00:01:25,885
Speaker 2: I'm not just saying this as a proud dad. They

27
00:01:25,885 --> 00:01:27,205
Speaker 2: were like the high end.

28
00:01:27,405 --> 00:01:29,885
Speaker 3: Oh this was phenomenal, so good.

29
00:01:30,045 --> 00:01:31,565
Speaker 1: You paid money for it, wouldn't you to see that?

30
00:01:32,245 --> 00:01:34,165
Speaker 1: The kids worked so hard you can't believe it.

31
00:01:34,285 --> 00:01:37,005
Speaker 3: Marveling at the costumes, like there was hundreds of kids

32
00:01:37,045 --> 00:01:41,885
Speaker 3: and they all just looked phenomenal and just the beams

33
00:01:41,885 --> 00:01:44,325
Speaker 3: on their faces. It just brings you so much joy

34
00:01:44,645 --> 00:01:47,245
Speaker 3: to watch a child on stage or whether it's on

35
00:01:47,285 --> 00:01:50,445
Speaker 3: the field with sport, when they've found their thing and

36
00:01:50,485 --> 00:01:53,445
Speaker 3: it's just brilliant. But you know, she's at that age

37
00:01:53,445 --> 00:01:55,925
Speaker 3: now where she's getting a bit funny. So they have

38
00:01:56,085 --> 00:01:59,325
Speaker 3: like the red carpet, and I was told, very very firmly,

39
00:01:59,845 --> 00:02:04,245
Speaker 3: you get one photo, mum, one photo. So normally she'd

40
00:02:04,285 --> 00:02:07,485
Speaker 3: let me be there for four or one photo. Get

41
00:02:07,485 --> 00:02:10,405
Speaker 3: it right, because you get one. So you know, it's

42
00:02:10,484 --> 00:02:14,085
Speaker 3: like no kissing before, you know, good luck, nothing like that.

43
00:02:14,245 --> 00:02:16,285
Speaker 3: It's like you're a bit of an embarrassment.

44
00:02:16,365 --> 00:02:18,445
Speaker 2: I got some flowers once to sort of present to

45
00:02:18,685 --> 00:02:20,605
Speaker 2: one of my daughters before the show, and I didn't

46
00:02:20,725 --> 00:02:22,405
Speaker 2: get to hand it to them. It was just like

47
00:02:22,445 --> 00:02:24,885
Speaker 2: this this look and just look I was met with

48
00:02:24,925 --> 00:02:26,205
Speaker 2: and I've done what the flowers?

49
00:02:26,245 --> 00:02:29,965
Speaker 1: Now, That's what it was like.

50
00:02:30,005 --> 00:02:32,525
Speaker 3: In the weekend, Chris had a beautiful, big bunch of

51
00:02:32,525 --> 00:02:35,245
Speaker 3: pink roses for her. She came out and I said, oh,

52
00:02:35,325 --> 00:02:37,925
Speaker 3: Daddy's got some roses for Oh you're not now, Dad,

53
00:02:38,805 --> 00:02:39,405
Speaker 3: just exhausted.

54
00:02:39,405 --> 00:02:41,725
Speaker 1: They just don't want you to make it weird. You know,

55
00:02:42,365 --> 00:02:43,364
Speaker 1: I'm still making it weird.

56
00:02:43,405 --> 00:02:45,245
Speaker 2: It was like the other day I seen I hadn't

57
00:02:45,285 --> 00:02:46,885
Speaker 2: seen my daughters in a week, and I was giving

58
00:02:46,925 --> 00:02:47,805
Speaker 2: big hugs and I'm.

59
00:02:47,725 --> 00:02:52,445
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, don't make it weird. I'm sorry that my

60
00:02:52,565 --> 00:02:54,005
Speaker 1: unconditional love is weird.

61
00:02:55,285 --> 00:02:57,885
Speaker 3: Just breaks a little bit more each time.

62
00:02:58,205 --> 00:03:00,405
Speaker 1: I would have killed rog like that for my dad.

63
00:03:00,885 --> 00:03:02,605
Speaker 2: Why do you think I get up at four am

64
00:03:02,685 --> 00:03:04,645
