21
00:01:09,045 --> 00:01:11,845

24
00:01:15,565 --> 00:01:18,365

25
00:01:18,405 --> 00:01:19,005
Speaker 2: and half years ago.

26
00:01:19,045 --> 00:01:20,885
Speaker 4: This is it. It had to be altered a little bit,

27
00:01:21,085 --> 00:01:22,084
Speaker 4: let out of the sides.

28
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:24,645
Speaker 1: And then at the shoulders just because you're a strong boy, that's.

29
00:01:24,485 --> 00:01:26,925
Speaker 4: All right, not not putting on too much way, just

30
00:01:26,925 --> 00:01:31,085
Speaker 4: getting stronger and stronger every day. But it's surreal, honestly,

31
00:01:31,245 --> 00:01:35,805
Speaker 4: dressing in the suit again, I had to peek at

32
00:01:35,805 --> 00:01:37,765
Speaker 4: my lovely bride, even though you're not meant to see

33
00:01:37,765 --> 00:01:39,725
Speaker 4: her before the wedding day, but I've seen her. She

34
00:01:39,845 --> 00:01:42,605
Speaker 4: looks beautiful. I'm actually really.

35
00:01:42,445 --> 00:01:44,845

00:01:45,725 --> 00:01:46,125
Speaker 4: Are ready?

38
00:01:46,165 --> 00:01:48,645

00:01:48,645 --> 00:01:50,485
Speaker 1: on the bride.

40
00:01:51,325 --> 00:01:54,525

41
00:01:54,565 --> 00:01:58,725
Speaker 2: into the studio here, it makes youift farm followed by

42
00:01:58,725 --> 00:02:02,205
Speaker 2: her bride, moving and unnecessarily slow speaking up parats, brick it.

43
00:02:02,165 --> 00:02:04,725
Speaker 1: Up a bit. Oh my word, you look stunning.

50
00:02:28,325 --> 00:02:30,204

Speaker 2: to Jackpost.

93
00:04:18,685 --> 00:04:24,125
Speaker 5: Okay, my dearest Jacomo. In my early twenties, I saw

94
00:04:24,125 --> 00:04:26,124
Speaker 5: to spend no time looking for a partner because the

95
00:04:26,205 --> 00:04:28,844
Speaker 5: qualities I was looking for didn't exist in one human.

96
00:04:29,484 --> 00:04:33,525
Speaker 5: But then at twenty two, there you were spontaneous, fun,

97
00:04:33,804 --> 00:04:37,844
Speaker 5: a bit weird, sensitive kind, full of life and laughter.

98
00:04:38,804 --> 00:04:40,844
Speaker 5: You were dressed as a butler in a tuxedo, T

99
00:04:40,964 --> 00:04:43,525
Speaker 5: shirt and white gloves. You were introduced to me as

100
00:04:43,565 --> 00:04:47,964
Speaker 5: a fitter, funnier Michael Sarah. I was in uprooting my

101
00:04:47,964 --> 00:04:50,284
Speaker 5: life and choosing you as my home has been both

102
00:04:50,325 --> 00:04:53,604
Speaker 5: the easiest and hardest thing I've ever done, but it

103
00:04:53,645 --> 00:04:57,085
Speaker 5: has always been the right thing, the best thing. We

104
00:04:57,125 --> 00:05:00,004
Speaker 5: fit so well from day one, I truly have never

105
00:05:00,044 --> 00:05:04,205
Speaker 5: loved anything and anyone more. I just really enjoy you.

106
00:05:05,404 --> 00:05:07,404
Speaker 5: I even love when I ask you for help cooking,

107
00:05:07,645 --> 00:05:10,085
Speaker 5: but your guitars are around your neck, so you shrug,

108
00:05:10,125 --> 00:05:11,445
Speaker 5: blaming the guitar, like what.

109
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:11,964
Speaker 4: Can I do?

110
00:05:12,445 --> 00:05:14,845
Speaker 5: And instead you serenade me with a song about how

111
00:05:14,885 --> 00:05:18,124
Speaker 5: hard chopping the onions must be. I love how you

112
00:05:18,125 --> 00:05:20,565
Speaker 5: are always doing something new, and it's always to the

113
00:05:20,565 --> 00:05:23,404
Speaker 5: best of your abilities. I promise to show you how

114
00:05:23,445 --> 00:05:27,964
Speaker 5: much I value you as a human through ongrowing, grand gestures, sure,

115
00:05:28,484 --> 00:05:32,164
Speaker 5: but mostly through the everyday small things, like ignoring it

116
00:05:32,205 --> 00:05:34,284
Speaker 5: when you pile up your dirty clothes in the corner

117
00:05:34,325 --> 00:05:36,564
Speaker 5: of the room instead of putting it in the pull

118
00:05:36,565 --> 00:05:40,805
Speaker 5: out laundry basket you purposely built into our vanity. I

119
00:05:40,844 --> 00:05:43,724
Speaker 5: promise to lift you up to your full potential, to

120
00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:47,884
Speaker 5: inspire you, to help to keep us moving forward to

121
00:05:47,924 --> 00:05:51,645
Speaker 5: the next thing, and to honor and understand your truest self,

122
00:05:52,085 --> 00:05:54,805
Speaker 5: whoever that may be. At the different and many stages

123
00:05:54,844 --> 00:05:58,125
Speaker 5: of our life together. I can't goddamn wait.

124
00:05:58,964 --> 00:05:59,925
Speaker 4: I love you so much.

125
00:06:01,085 --> 00:06:04,124
Speaker 2: You may both if you wish to kiss the bride,

126
00:06:04,164 --> 00:06:06,085
Speaker 2: and the crew might kiss the boom.

127
00:06:09,125 --> 00:06:12,885
Speaker 1: I'm getting emotional. Give you wish you may kiss each other? Yes,

128
00:06:15,525 --> 00:06:17,805
Speaker 1: kissing each other? Can I say?

129
00:06:17,885 --> 00:06:19,844
Speaker 2: Maybe we had to wait six and a half years,

130
00:06:19,844 --> 00:06:23,365
Speaker 2: but that felt I don't know, that felt really special.

131
00:06:23,445 --> 00:06:26,964
Speaker 2: There would beautiful words as well, really lovely Bianca. You

132
00:06:26,964 --> 00:06:29,684
Speaker 2: can tell you her from the heart, but real wordsmith. That

133
00:06:29,804 --> 00:06:30,364
Speaker 2: was amazing.

134
00:06:30,484 --> 00:06:32,364
Speaker 4: That was way better than the vows that I had

135
00:06:32,404 --> 00:06:34,444
Speaker 4: delivered on the day. So I'm glad if it was

136
00:06:34,484 --> 00:06:36,165
Speaker 4: for that, I'm glad I had to wait six and

137
00:06:36,205 --> 00:06:38,004
Speaker 4: a half years. That was so nice. I love you

231
00:11:07,045 --> 00:11:09,845
Speaker 2: to be as a dad in your relation together. I

232
00:11:09,885 --> 00:11:11,324
Speaker 2: love writing that to some of my kids on their

233
00:11:11,324 --> 00:11:13,805
Speaker 2: birthdays at Christmas time with that, It's a really nice

234
00:11:13,804 --> 00:11:14,925
Speaker 2: thing to do, and I just thought it might be

235
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:17,365
Speaker 2: something you you might enjoy doing and years to come

236
00:11:17,405 --> 00:11:19,124
Speaker 2: when he's a bit older than that. You know, he

237
00:11:19,204 --> 00:11:20,925
Speaker 2: a bitter read it himself and you can just sort

238
00:11:20,965 --> 00:11:22,845
Speaker 2: of keep a tally of how it's gone over the

239
00:11:22,885 --> 00:11:25,804
Speaker 2: years your relationship together. So Jack and No, actually you've

240
00:11:25,845 --> 00:11:27,965
Speaker 2: actually spent quite a bit of time with it this week.

241
00:11:27,965 --> 00:11:28,804
Speaker 1: Are you happy with it?

242
00:11:29,204 --> 00:11:31,885
Speaker 4: I've actually loved doing it at the start. When you

243
00:11:31,925 --> 00:11:33,805
Speaker 4: said it on Monday, I was like, hope he comes

244
00:11:33,845 --> 00:11:35,605
Speaker 4: overnight so I can get out of doing that letter.

245
00:11:36,084 --> 00:11:37,684
Speaker 1: But and that's why I hired you.

246
00:11:37,765 --> 00:11:39,365
Speaker 2: I want to guy next to me in my right

247
00:11:39,444 --> 00:11:42,084
Speaker 2: hand who is reluctant in every opportunity.

248
00:11:42,444 --> 00:11:45,045
Speaker 4: But I'm glad I am perseverated with it because I'm

249
00:11:45,125 --> 00:11:47,005
Speaker 4: very happy with it and actually hope it is something

250
00:11:47,005 --> 00:11:49,285
Speaker 4: that he reads, you know, at ten years old, at

251
00:11:49,324 --> 00:11:51,765
Speaker 4: twenty years old, and at thirty years old, and he

252
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:55,165
Speaker 4: finds something different or it speaks to him in a

253
00:11:55,165 --> 00:11:56,845
Speaker 4: different way each time he reads it.

254
00:11:57,005 --> 00:11:59,605
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll do because your a lationship will change, all right, Jackie,

255
00:11:59,645 --> 00:12:00,405
Speaker 2: when you're good.

256
00:12:01,005 --> 00:12:03,645
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't wait to hear it. Go for it, Okay.

257
00:12:03,725 --> 00:12:09,045
Speaker 4: This is aptly named letter to my son. It's my

258
00:12:09,084 --> 00:12:12,165
Speaker 4: first time being a dad, it's your first time being alive.

259
00:12:12,885 --> 00:12:15,405
Speaker 4: You can ride up on my shoulders. I can see

260
00:12:15,444 --> 00:12:19,724
Speaker 4: the world through your eyes, catching bugs, building sand castles,

261
00:12:20,165 --> 00:12:23,765
Speaker 4: jumping in puddles, and skipping stones. Know that from now

262
00:12:23,965 --> 00:12:29,485
Speaker 4: until forever, you will never be alone. Make jokes, make music,

263
00:12:29,564 --> 00:12:33,485
Speaker 4: make mischief, live your life with joy. Harbor big dreams

264
00:12:33,525 --> 00:12:36,084
Speaker 4: for your future. But take time to be a boy.

265
00:12:37,365 --> 00:12:40,165
Speaker 4: Start things before you feel ready, jump before you see

266
00:12:40,204 --> 00:12:44,325
Speaker 4: the landing. Life will open doors for those already standing.

267
00:12:47,125 --> 00:12:49,605
Speaker 4: You'll take from books and art and music and people,

268
00:12:50,204 --> 00:12:53,244
Speaker 4: anything that strikes a note. Take the parts you like

269
00:12:53,365 --> 00:12:57,005
Speaker 4: of me, leave the ones you don't, and with an

270
00:12:57,045 --> 00:13:00,565
Speaker 4: open heart and a curious mind, soak up everything. You

271
00:13:00,605 --> 00:13:04,564
Speaker 4: can find your own definition of what it means. To

272
00:13:04,564 --> 00:13:11,365

295
00:14:11,564 --> 00:14:15,045

296
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:15,925

297
00:14:15,965 --> 00:14:16,645
Speaker 1: It just sort of.

298
00:14:16,925 --> 00:14:19,525
Speaker 2: Deflects any kind of logical reason with the man.

299
00:14:19,605 --> 00:14:22,045
Speaker 1: He glides through life like a human slinky.

300

304
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:33,965

Speaker 2: think they're in for another couple of hours.

355
00:17:11,885 --> 00:17:14,045
Speaker 3: Christian Connell Show Podcast.

356
00:17:14,525 --> 00:17:16,565
Speaker 4: Can I share with you something a great bit of

357
00:17:16,605 --> 00:17:18,285
Speaker 4: wisdom that was passed on to me by a friend

358
00:17:18,285 --> 00:17:21,645
Speaker 4: over the weekend. He's got daughters at nine and seven,

359
00:17:21,805 --> 00:17:23,445
Speaker 4: and he told me about this thing he heard about

360
00:17:23,445 --> 00:17:26,845
Speaker 4: called the second space, where if you think of work

361
00:17:26,925 --> 00:17:29,125
Speaker 4: or wherever you are in the day is the first space,

362
00:17:29,165 --> 00:17:32,365
Speaker 4: and coming home is the third space. The intention you

363
00:17:32,405 --> 00:17:35,125
Speaker 4: set in the second space is how you show up

364
00:17:35,165 --> 00:17:38,005
Speaker 4: at home. So for most people would be on the car,

365
00:17:38,325 --> 00:17:40,365
Speaker 4: in the car journey, right on the way home. And

366
00:17:40,405 --> 00:17:42,165
Speaker 4: he said, I always want to show up in that

367
00:17:42,205 --> 00:17:45,045
Speaker 4: third space in the best way. Come through the door,

368
00:17:45,485 --> 00:17:48,805
Speaker 4: mirror my kid's happiness to see me be the husband

369
00:17:48,885 --> 00:17:50,845
Speaker 4: to my wife that I said I would always be.

370
00:17:51,605 --> 00:17:53,845
Speaker 4: And I don't want to bring in the annoyances of

371
00:17:53,885 --> 00:17:56,285
Speaker 4: the day. If I was irritated at work, I don't

372
00:17:56,285 --> 00:17:58,365
Speaker 4: want to bring that through the door, or if something's

373
00:17:58,405 --> 00:18:01,165
Speaker 4: been bugging me. I don't want to burden my family

374
00:18:01,205 --> 00:18:03,805
Speaker 4: with that. And I've been thinking about that since he

375
00:18:03,845 --> 00:18:05,885
Speaker 4: told me about it, and I love it, and I

376
00:18:05,925 --> 00:18:08,725
Speaker 4: really tried to embody it. I was away in the

377
00:18:08,725 --> 00:18:11,005
Speaker 4: Gold Coast this weekend, so as I got through the

378
00:18:11,085 --> 00:18:14,485
Speaker 4: door on Sunday, tired from the flight, but on the

379
00:18:14,565 --> 00:18:16,445
Speaker 4: inner car and the way home, I was thinking, you

380
00:18:16,445 --> 00:18:18,245
Speaker 4: know what, I want to burst through this door. I

381
00:18:18,285 --> 00:18:20,405
Speaker 4: want to give that energy to Gordy. I want to

382
00:18:20,445 --> 00:18:23,245
Speaker 4: see that reflected back in his face. I want to

383
00:18:23,285 --> 00:18:26,205
Speaker 4: give that to Bianca and I don't know. It's just

384
00:18:26,245 --> 00:18:28,445
Speaker 4: something that really valuable that I took away with me

385
00:18:28,645 --> 00:18:31,525
Speaker 4: from what my friend said, And it's an intention that

386
00:18:31,525 --> 00:18:33,765
Speaker 4: I'm trying to set every day when I see him,

387
00:18:33,805 --> 00:18:37,005
Speaker 4: whether he's coming home from daycare, I'm coming home from work.

388
00:18:37,205 --> 00:18:40,165
Speaker 4: And the first instance of coming through the door and

389
00:18:40,205 --> 00:18:43,245
Speaker 4: the intention you set and the moment that you're making

390
00:18:43,285 --> 00:18:43,925
Speaker 4: with them, How.

391
00:18:43,845 --> 00:18:45,725
Speaker 2: Can use that today when I see my seventeen year

392
00:18:45,725 --> 00:18:47,285
Speaker 2: old daughter when she comes home from school. I think

393
00:18:47,285 --> 00:18:49,605
Speaker 2: that's a lovely thing because so much a parent and

394
00:18:49,645 --> 00:18:51,805
Speaker 2: advice in it. It's all around the doing, the tactics,

395
00:18:51,805 --> 00:18:53,845
Speaker 2: and that you actually forget most important is how do

396
00:18:53,885 --> 00:18:55,645
Speaker 2: you want to be? Yes, And there's a choice how

397
00:18:55,645 --> 00:18:57,325
Speaker 2: you want to be before you are about the doing.

398
00:18:57,805 --> 00:19:00,245
Speaker 2: They pick up more from just how you are. Your

399
00:19:00,325 --> 00:19:02,685
Speaker 2: energy way more important than because you can be spending

400
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:03,165
Speaker 2: time with them.

401
00:19:03,205 --> 00:19:03,725
Speaker 1: But if you're.

402
00:19:03,605 --> 00:19:07,045
Speaker 2: Distracted or angry about some conversation happen to work and

403
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:09,885
Speaker 2: you're still fantasizing if you said that or that would

404
00:19:09,885 --> 00:19:11,525
Speaker 2: have happened, they picked up on that.

405
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:14,725
Speaker 4: This conversation started because we were talking about how much

406
00:19:14,965 --> 00:19:17,365
Speaker 4: our kids are just always perceptive of us, and how

407
00:19:17,445 --> 00:19:19,125
Speaker 4: much they pick up that we're on the phone a

408
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:21,965
Speaker 4: lot because you just got to reply, reply, be on

409
00:19:22,125 --> 00:19:24,125
Speaker 4: an email and that's what they've seen all the time,

410
00:19:24,245 --> 00:19:27,685
Speaker 4: is that you're really paying attention to the phone and

411
00:19:27,725 --> 00:19:29,845
Speaker 4: not to them. So on the car on the way

412
00:19:29,885 --> 00:19:31,925
Speaker 4: home today, before you get home, if you have kids

413
00:19:31,965 --> 00:19:34,605
Speaker 4: or whoever you spend your time with at home, have

414
00:19:34,765 --> 00:19:37,165
Speaker 4: a think in the car, in that second space, how

415
00:19:37,205 --> 00:19:39,205
Speaker 4: you want to show up at home and have that

416
00:19:40,085 --> 00:19:41,765
Speaker 4: think of what you want your intent to be and

417
00:19:41,765 --> 00:19:43,005
Speaker 4: come through the door like that.

418
00:19:43,005 --> 00:19:45,765
Speaker 2: That is beautiful, mate. As much as you know the

419
00:19:45,525 --> 00:19:48,005
Speaker 2: one one, it's the most important job in the world

420
00:19:48,005 --> 00:19:48,965
Speaker 2: to be someone's parent.

421
00:19:49,005 --> 00:19:49,205
Speaker 1: It is.

422
00:19:49,205 --> 00:19:51,645
Speaker 2: It's also most choice one as well. But it's a

423
00:19:51,725 --> 00:19:55,005
Speaker 2: journey of you learning as much as you teach something.

424
00:19:55,125 --> 00:19:57,645
Speaker 2: I've learned what my biggest learning points in life have

425
00:19:57,685 --> 00:19:58,885
Speaker 2: all come through being a dad.

426
00:19:59,285 --> 00:19:59,805
Speaker 1: I didn't know that.

427
00:19:59,845 --> 00:20:01,045
Speaker 2: I thought it was all in the teaching how you

428
00:20:01,085 --> 00:20:03,845
Speaker 2: meant to show the medicine. You learn way more about

429
00:20:03,885 --> 00:20:06,965
Speaker 2: life yourself, the areas where you need to unlearn and

430
00:20:07,005 --> 00:20:09,445
Speaker 2: let go as well. The biggest as I've seen since

431
00:20:09,485 --> 00:20:11,325
Speaker 2: knowing you eight or nine years have been since you've

432
00:20:11,325 --> 00:20:11,845
Speaker 2: been a dad.

433
00:20:11,925 --> 00:20:14,645
Speaker 4: They are little yodas, Yes teach you so much.

434
00:20:14,645 --> 00:20:17,085
Speaker 1: They're the biggest mirrors you ever find. I have something

435
00:20:17,165 --> 00:20:17,365
Speaker 1: for you.

436
00:20:17,405 --> 00:20:19,725
Speaker 2: So yesterday I went back and I listened again to

437
00:20:19,765 --> 00:20:22,965
Speaker 2: that amazing poem you wrote when You're about to become

438
00:20:23,125 --> 00:20:26,325
Speaker 2: a dad. It's a beautiful poem jack wrote right on

439
00:20:26,405 --> 00:20:27,965
Speaker 2: the It was a couple of days before you left

440
00:20:28,005 --> 00:20:30,805
Speaker 2: the show to go on paternity leave, about what you

441
00:20:30,925 --> 00:20:33,525
Speaker 2: wanted to become becoming a dad, and I wanted you

442
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:35,085
Speaker 2: to have listened back to it. We've also put some

443
00:20:35,125 --> 00:20:37,165
Speaker 2: of the lovely stories that you've shared on the show,

444
00:20:37,205 --> 00:20:39,125
Speaker 2: because one of the many great things about doing what

445
00:20:39,165 --> 00:20:41,725
Speaker 2: we do is this is a kind of diary or

446
00:20:41,765 --> 00:20:44,125
Speaker 2: a journal at times that we speak out loud. Sometimes

447
00:20:44,165 --> 00:20:46,165
Speaker 2: when you hear it about you cringe, but other times

448
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:47,965
Speaker 2: you hear what you were going through at the time.

449
00:20:48,085 --> 00:20:49,885
Speaker 2: So we've put some of the stories that you've shared

450
00:20:49,925 --> 00:20:52,005
Speaker 2: the last two years, Jackie Boy, and you've really have

451
00:20:52,085 --> 00:20:54,325
Speaker 2: shown up been a dad, and I look forward to

452
00:20:54,325 --> 00:20:56,685
Speaker 2: seeing how the journey goes as you walk along your side,

453
00:20:57,045 --> 00:20:59,525
Speaker 2: walk along Young Gordy's side over the next couple of years, mate,

454
00:20:59,565 --> 00:21:02,325
Speaker 2: But have listened to this. I think you really, I

455
00:21:02,325 --> 00:21:04,245
Speaker 2: think you've really done what you set out to do.

456
00:21:04,285 --> 00:21:06,245
Speaker 2: It's been amazing to see anyway, haven't listened to this.

457
00:21:06,605 --> 00:21:09,245
Speaker 4: It's my first time being a dad, it's your first

458
00:21:09,245 --> 00:21:12,325
Speaker 4: time being alive. You can ride up on my shoulders.

459
00:21:12,725 --> 00:21:14,445
Speaker 4: I can see the world through your eyes.

460
00:21:14,605 --> 00:21:17,645
Speaker 1: My son walked for the first time after day.

461
00:21:19,605 --> 00:21:24,205
Speaker 4: Catching bugs, building sand castles, jumping in puddles and skipping stones.

462
00:21:24,605 --> 00:21:28,565
Speaker 4: Know that from now until forever, you will never be alone.

463
00:21:28,725 --> 00:21:30,965
Speaker 4: You didn't prepare me for what it would be like

464
00:21:31,125 --> 00:21:33,525
Speaker 4: to drop him off at daycare for the first time.

465
00:21:33,805 --> 00:21:36,165
Speaker 4: It was so hard. I just can't tell you how

466
00:21:36,165 --> 00:21:39,525
Speaker 4: hard wrenching it is. Make jokes, make music, make mischief,

467
00:21:39,885 --> 00:21:42,805
Speaker 4: live your life with joy. I think this could be

468
00:21:42,885 --> 00:21:43,485
Speaker 4: his first word.

469
00:21:44,045 --> 00:21:47,645
Speaker 1: What's this apple?

470
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:51,565
Speaker 4: Have the big dreams for your future, but take time

471
00:21:51,605 --> 00:21:54,485
Speaker 4: to be a boy. We had an impromptu jam session

472
00:21:54,645 --> 00:21:59,325
Speaker 4: after dinner for about half an hour. We just listened

473
00:21:59,365 --> 00:22:02,165
Speaker 4: to the whole album and jammed for every song. I

474
00:22:02,205 --> 00:22:04,125
Speaker 4: will honestly cherish these moments.

475
00:22:04,245 --> 00:22:05,485
Speaker 1: They're so special.

476
00:22:05,565 --> 00:22:08,285
Speaker 4: Start things before you feel ready, jump before you see

477
00:22:08,285 --> 00:22:13,045
Speaker 4: the life will open doors for those already standing. Mom.

478
00:22:13,085 --> 00:22:15,365
Speaker 4: Ha's got my twenty month old son Gordon with her.

479
00:22:15,405 --> 00:22:17,005
Speaker 1: This morning she just sent us this text.

480
00:22:17,325 --> 00:22:19,485
Speaker 4: We're on our way to the museum, and Jack's voice

481
00:22:19,525 --> 00:22:23,165
Speaker 4: just came on the radio. Gordy said, Dad, without many prompting,

482
00:22:23,845 --> 00:22:25,484
Speaker 4: Oh so cute.

483
00:22:25,525 --> 00:22:26,645
Speaker 1: How did that make you feel?

484
00:22:26,765 --> 00:22:29,765
Speaker 4: It's actually surprised me how much they caught me off. God,

485
00:22:30,565 --> 00:22:33,565
Speaker 4: my chest is filled with love. You'll take from books

486
00:22:33,645 --> 00:22:37,245
Speaker 4: and art and music and people, anything that strikes a note.

487
00:22:37,845 --> 00:22:40,405
Speaker 4: Take the parts you like of me, leave the ones

488
00:22:40,445 --> 00:22:43,365
Speaker 4: you don't. This year for me, being a dad has

489
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:44,285
Speaker 4: really clicked.

490
00:22:44,765 --> 00:22:44,965
Speaker 2: Him.

491
00:22:44,965 --> 00:22:47,125
Speaker 4: Being the number one priority doesn't feel like something I

492
00:22:47,205 --> 00:22:48,445
Speaker 4: have to push against a force.

493
00:22:48,925 --> 00:22:49,765
Speaker 3: It just is.

494
00:22:50,245 --> 00:22:52,845
Speaker 4: And I'm so thankful for that. Just the joy and

495
00:22:52,885 --> 00:22:55,405
Speaker 4: the love that he brings to us is all though

496
00:22:55,445 --> 00:22:58,205
Speaker 4: I need. And with an open heart and a curious mind,

497
00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:01,125
Speaker 4: soak up everything you can. Oh my god. If I

498
00:23:01,245 --> 00:23:03,565
Speaker 4: could have told myself two years ago that my most

499
00:23:03,605 --> 00:23:06,125
Speaker 4: anticipated concert of the year would be the Whiggles at

500
00:23:06,205 --> 00:23:08,805
Speaker 4: Rod Laver Arena, I wouldn't have believed you. And even

501
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,965
Speaker 4: if I don't watch a minute on stage, and I

502
00:23:11,045 --> 00:23:12,885
Speaker 4: just spend the whole time looking at him and seeing

503
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:16,405
Speaker 4: his reaction. Find your own definition of what it means

504
00:23:16,525 --> 00:23:17,285
Speaker 4: to be a man.

505
00:23:18,085 --> 00:23:21,245
