Got anything good?

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

So, Patsy over the weekend, I know it was a big weekend for your family, your daughter,

Audi, was in this production of Zanadu in St Kilda at that beautiful theatre there.

Oh my God, it was so good.

The kids were on roller skates and they had the outfits.

It was so, so good.

They did a fantastic job.

So this wasn't a school production. This was another organisation.

Yeah, it's stage school Australia. So they're like a theatre sort of school that the kids do outside of school.

And it is just brilliant. They have little, little tiny kids right up to like 18, 19 years.

Yeah, my daughters did this in the UK and they're not particularly, um, sporting gifted. And, um, it's like I can relate. Yeah. Um, and they, uh, but what they found through is it was just, it was another way for them to get, um, in a team. And sport isn't the only way to do that. And they made so many great friends, that camaraderie, getting through the nerves of it all. And the productions, I'm not just saying this as a proud dad, they were like, they're high end. Oh, this was phenomenal. So good. You'd pay money for it, wouldn't you to see it? Yeah, you absolutely would. You're absolutely worried. You can't believe it. Marvelling at the costumes. Like there was hundreds of kids and they all just looked phenomenal and just the beams on their faces.

It just brings just so much joy to watch a child on stage or whether it's on the field with sport when they've found their thing.

And it's just brilliant.

But, you know, she's at that age now where

she's getting a bit funny so they have like the red carpet and I was told very very firmly

you get one photo mum one photo so normally she'd let me like be there for four or five one

photo get it right because you get one so you know you know, it's like no kissing before, you know, it's good luck, nothing like that. It's like you're a bit of an embarrassment. I got some flowers once to sort of present to one of my daughters before the show and I didn't get to hand it to them. It was just like this look and just look I was met with in. I didn't know what the flowers now. Put those in that bin. That's what it was like at the weekend. Chris had a beautiful big bunch of pink roses for her. She came out and I said, oh, daddy's got some roses for, oh yeah, not now, Dad. Oh, just exhausted. They just don't want you to make it weird. No, that's it. I'm still making it weird. It was like the other day. I hadn't seen my daughters in a week and I was giving a big hugs. And I'm like, okay, don't make it weird. I'm sorry that my unconditional love is weird. It's just that breaks a little bit more each time. I would have killed for a hug like that for my dad.

Why do you think I get up at 4 a.m. still looking for that validation?

Taken out on the world.

And so what was Aldi's character in it?
