0:03
Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast.
0:05
Speaker 2: It's the podcast for the time poor parent who just
0:09
Speaker 2: wants answers.
0:10
Speaker 3: Now, well, it's finally done. Parental Guidance Season two has
0:14
Speaker 3: come to a close. We've talked about it at nauseum
0:16
Speaker 3: on the podcast for the last couple of weeks, and
0:18
Speaker 3: now we have one last conversation that has to be had,
0:23
Speaker 3: and that is with the ultimate star of the show.
0:26
Speaker 2: I feel like there needs to be some drum rolls.
0:28
Speaker 3: We have Jr.
0:28
Speaker 2: For that.
0:34
Speaker 3: I'm really excited for this. Of all the people that
0:36
Speaker 3: we could talk to, I love talking to the parents,
0:38
Speaker 3: I love understanding what's going through their minds. I love
0:41
Speaker 3: the way we've been able to incorporate the show into
0:43
Speaker 3: the podcast. But really everybody just wants to know what
0:46
Speaker 3: Allison Langdon thinks about the Parental Guidance season two. And so,
0:51
Speaker 3: just like at the beginning of the season, you interviewed
0:54
Speaker 3: Melissa MacLean, the executive producer of the show, and I
0:57
Speaker 3: stayed quiet except when I couldn't help myself. You're in
1:01
Speaker 3: the hot seat again. You've starting to create a bit
1:03
Speaker 3: of a habit of doing high quality interviews missus Happy Families.
1:06
Speaker 3: So it's over to you talking with Allison Langdon, the
1:10
Speaker 3: host of the hit TV show Parental Guidance on Channel nine.
1:14
Speaker 3: And I believe, Alie, you also do some other show
1:17
Speaker 3: that I'm not sure if it's as popular as Parental Guidance.
1:20
Speaker 3: How do you what's that? What's what's the name of it? Again?
1:28
Speaker 2: Were you still on my thunder again? I know.
1:32
Speaker 3: I didn't know what you were going to ask. I
1:33
Speaker 3: was trying to be tricky and cheeky.
1:35
Speaker 2: But Allie, your routine has changed. You've gone from morning
1:38
Speaker 2: TV with the Today Show and now you're doing a
1:41
Speaker 2: current affair. How have your mornings changed at home?
1:46
Speaker 4: The mornings are a revelation. It is it is a
1:49
Speaker 4: man And can I say I let my kids in
1:50
Speaker 4: the morning a lot more than my kids at night, right,
1:53
Speaker 4: And They've been a big part of the change for thinking,
1:56
Speaker 4: Oh gee, but I'm home every night with the kids.
1:59
Speaker 4: I picked them up from school every afternoon, even though
2:02
Speaker 4: I'm not there in the mornings. And now I just find,
2:05
Speaker 4: you know what, They're delightful in the mornings. They're sweet,
2:09
Speaker 4: and they're still cuddly and we have cuddles in bed.
2:11
Speaker 4: I don't even call work till after we've walked them
2:13
Speaker 4: to school, so I had sort of my work brain
2:17
Speaker 4: doesn't even kick in till nine o'clock and they're up
2:20
Speaker 4: at five thirty in the morning. So I have this
2:22
Speaker 4: enormous time with them where the TV doesn't go on,
2:26
Speaker 4: there's no technology, it's us as a family, and it
2:30
Speaker 4: is wonderful, so good.
2:33
Speaker 2: That is amazing. Congratulations on season two are Parental Guidance.
2:38
Speaker 2: It must have gone really really well. I know that
2:41
Speaker 2: it went well, but it must have gone really well
2:42
Speaker 2: for us to have another season under our belt. And
2:45
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if, now that we've got a second season,
2:50
Speaker 2: if you have been thinking about your own parenting style
2:53
Speaker 2: and whether or not you see it in other parents,
2:56
Speaker 2: or whether or not your parenting styles actually changed as
3:00
Speaker 2: a result of being on the show.
3:02
Speaker 4: You know what, I would say it changed significantly after
3:05
Speaker 4: the first and during the first season of Parental Guidance.
3:10
Speaker 4: For one, I just got to sit next to your
3:11
Speaker 4: delightful husband every time and Picky's brains. Most conversations will
3:17
Speaker 4: start with so like I've got this friend who does this,
3:21
Speaker 4: and it's like al al, yeah, okay, this.
3:25
Speaker 3: Is actually that, this is actually true.
3:28
Speaker 2: I know I don't tell lies.
3:31
Speaker 4: And you know, and I could tell by his reaction
3:34
Speaker 4: in his face if that was a good parenting hack
3:36
Speaker 4: or not.
3:37
Speaker 2: And it's hiding things, is he no?
3:40
Speaker 4: No, no, not at all. He's his face doesn't lie.
3:42
Speaker 4: I can't tell I like any and and so it
3:45
Speaker 4: was just it was just wonderful, especially that first season
3:50
Speaker 4: because my husband I'd never even talked about how we parent,
3:52
Speaker 4: and so I think from from that point it was
3:55
Speaker 4: great that we just had this conversation and we kind
3:58
Speaker 4: of worked out what we do is what we do.
4:00
Speaker 4: But there were really key things that Justin told me,
4:04
Speaker 4: and that was things like, you know, and we had
4:06
Speaker 4: our kids then were what three and five or two
4:09
Speaker 4: and four, I would do the whole stop, just calm down,
4:14
Speaker 4: and you know, and I remember Justin saying to me, okay, Alie,
4:18
Speaker 4: So say you're worked up about something and your husband,
4:20
Speaker 4: Mike turns and tells you to calm down. Do you
4:22
Speaker 4: come down?
4:23
Speaker 1: Go? I come out of him with helicopter ass if
4:25
Speaker 1: you had to tell me that, and it so, why
4:27
Speaker 1: do you think your kids are any different?
4:29
Speaker 4: It's like, I mean, you know, now that you say
4:32
Speaker 4: it feels really obvious and sounds obvious, but it's all
4:35
Speaker 4: those really little tricks and just getting down on their
4:38
Speaker 4: level when they're having those big emotions as opposed to like,
4:41
Speaker 4: you know, losing McColl with it, which I previously did.
4:45
Speaker 4: And this season was just great because I think it's
4:48
Speaker 4: branched out with those sort of styles that we saw,
4:51
Speaker 4: and once again it's one where you go, Okay, I
4:55
Speaker 4: see how that one works in that environment and that
4:57
Speaker 4: that is perfect for there, and you do you pick
5:00
Speaker 4: up different hacks and bits and pieces that different parenting
5:03
Speaker 4: styles do, and some that probably wouldn't necessarily fit with
5:07
Speaker 4: how I would sit naturally. You know, I learned a
5:10
Speaker 4: lot from the gentle parents and the spiritual parents, and
5:13
Speaker 4: I don't think that's where I sort of naturally sit
5:15
Speaker 4: in my parenting style. It's more kind of free range
5:19
Speaker 4: and sometimes strict. I don't know, it's still all over
5:22
Speaker 4: the shop.
5:23
Speaker 3: Right, but I was about to compliment you for yourself
5:25
Speaker 3: awareness and it just went everywhere. It's everywhere.
5:29
Speaker 4: It's still everywhere, but it's slightly more consistently everywhere.
5:35
Speaker 2: So there's very little on TV that is actually instructive
5:41
Speaker 2: and you know, generally useful practical for parents especially do
5:47
Speaker 2: you feel any sense of responsibility to how things come
5:52
Speaker 2: across on the show, or are you just happy to
5:56
Speaker 2: kind of let things flow.
5:58
Speaker 4: I definitely feel a responsibilit I think it's something that
6:01
Speaker 4: justin probably feels as well, because we want to be
6:03
Speaker 4: celebrating parenthood and however on parents, and we want to
6:07
Speaker 4: be celebrating the kids because we're all there but the
6:10
Speaker 4: same goal in mind, if we want to raise these wonderful, kind,
6:14
Speaker 4: well rounded children who go out and do amazing things
6:17
Speaker 4: in the world. So every single person in that room
6:20
Speaker 4: wants the same thing for their kids, and so you
6:22
Speaker 4: feel a great responsibility to ensure that each style is
6:26
Speaker 4: represented fairly, I guess because there are moments where you
6:31
Speaker 4: have certain challenges where certain styles they shine and others
6:36
Speaker 4: kind of do fall apart under those particular pressures. But
6:40
Speaker 4: you also know that the next time we get to
6:42
Speaker 4: the next challenge, it's probably going to shift entirely and
6:45
Speaker 4: it's going to be the other way around. So you
6:47
Speaker 4: really do you really feel that you know every single
6:50
Speaker 4: person in that room is doing their very best to
6:54
Speaker 4: be the best parent they can be, and so you
6:57
Speaker 4: want to make sure that that is celebrated. Would you
7:00
Speaker 4: agree with that justin I think that was something that
7:02
Speaker 4: was sort of top of our list really with this show.
7:05
Speaker 3: Hundred percent. There's something that I also I know this
7:08
Speaker 3: is Kylie's interview with you, Ali, but I really want
7:10
Speaker 3: to do what I always do and say a bit
7:12
Speaker 3: more than I probably should. I actually want to compliment
7:15
Speaker 3: you watching the season back, watching what happened. I mean,
7:19
Speaker 3: because we sit there and the days are long, right,
7:22
Speaker 3: we have these long days in the studio and the
7:24
Speaker 3: conversations along. We've taken like six full days of studio time,
7:29
Speaker 3: ten hours a day in the studio, and condensed it
7:31
Speaker 3: into these seven episodes of parental guidance. What I saw
7:37
Speaker 3: in you, I'm not quite sure how to put it
7:40
Speaker 3: to words, because I wasn't preparing for an interview. It
7:42
Speaker 3: was all Kylie. But as Kylie's asked that question, you've
7:44
Speaker 3: given that answer. I guess I just really wanted to
7:46
Speaker 3: compliment you, Alie, the human way in which you come across,
7:50
Speaker 3: the way that you related to the families, and the
7:53
Speaker 3: way that you I mean, there were so many times
7:55
Speaker 3: when you look at me and you're blubbering on the
7:57
Speaker 3: TV about what we've just seen happen.
8:00
Speaker 2: That's not true.
8:00
Speaker 4: I never cry. I'm super tough and I'm heart all right,
8:04
Speaker 4: and don't you go ruining this for me. Justin all right,
8:07
Speaker 4: I've worked very hard. I've got a reputivity.
8:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that you did some serious damage to
8:11
Speaker 3: reputation because it was a real.
8:14
Speaker 4: We feel it, right like you know, those those those
8:18
Speaker 4: moments when you when you see one of them, you know,
8:22
Speaker 4: and there's there's a particular challenge in I think it's
8:24
Speaker 4: in the first episode to do with with online and
8:29
Speaker 4: when you see a parent's reaction to something that they've
8:32
Speaker 4: spoken to their kids about and and then you see
8:35
Speaker 4: them do something entirely different and unexpected, and that we
8:40
Speaker 4: all feel that, Yeah, we all feel for that parent.
8:43
Speaker 4: And you know, there's not a single person in that
8:45
Speaker 4: room thinking, oh, gee, well that wouldn't have happened, because
8:48
Speaker 4: my parenting style is this, We just every one of
8:51
Speaker 4: us just felt for that family, and all of us
8:54
Speaker 4: imagined it was our kids in that scenario.
8:56
Speaker 3: And I look at it.
8:57
Speaker 4: You know, my kids are still little, I mean, you know,
9:00
Speaker 4: getting a little bit older, but a lot of this stuff,
9:02
Speaker 4: I know that this is all the stuff that's coming
9:04
Speaker 4: ahead of me. And yeah, I think you just you
9:07
Speaker 4: put yourself in it for a lot, and you just
9:09
Speaker 4: you just feel for everybody when it doesn't go the
9:12
Speaker 4: way they want it to go.
9:13
Speaker 3: Kyler, did you hear a little of fear in Allie's voice?
9:16
Speaker 3: Is she said that my kids are getting older, and.
9:18
Speaker 2: It's just that.
9:21
Speaker 4: Like a little bit of fear, like shaking with fear. Well,
9:26
Speaker 4: but that was one of the things that did teach
9:28
Speaker 4: me to like, like, I am fearful of technology with
9:33
Speaker 4: I mean not fifth, I mean I just don't like it,
9:35
Speaker 4: I guess at the end of the day, and so
9:37
Speaker 4: I think it's that one thing I should keep out
9:39
Speaker 4: of our kids' lives as much as possible. But that
9:42
Speaker 4: was one thing I learned from it from this show
9:43
Speaker 4: is that you can't do that. I mean, it's here
9:46
Speaker 4: you can be really responsible in how you use it.
9:49
Speaker 4: And it comes down to Justin's three c's. I can't
9:52
Speaker 4: remember what the seas stand for.
9:54
Speaker 2: Remember you sound very intelligent being able to say that
10:01
Speaker 2: you know the three seeds.
10:02
Speaker 3: You know that Justin has three seeds. I'll send you
10:04
Speaker 3: a copy of my new book. Okay, I don't know
10:05
Speaker 3: if you've got the Parenting Revolution yet, but you should
10:07
Speaker 3: have gotten the media copy, but if you don't, I'll
10:09
Speaker 3: get a copy to you because those three seeds are important.
10:12
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, what's the one that's bad again? What's
10:15
Speaker 1: the bad seed? The bad I mean, not the bad,
10:18
Speaker 1: not that bad seat the other bade you talk. You
10:21
Speaker 1: talk about the screen seeds, the three seeds of screens screen. Ah, yeah, okay,
10:25
Speaker 1: so I thought you were talking about different three seeds.
10:27
Speaker 2: You're not complicating.
10:30
Speaker 3: I love the literation. People remember well. I thought people
10:33
Speaker 3: remembered things when they used the literation, but evidently they don't.
10:35
Speaker 3: They just remember there were three seeds, so there was
10:39
Speaker 3: I've just gone blank. How bad is that people use
10:41
Speaker 3: screens for creation, for connection, and for consumption?
10:46
Speaker 4: Consumption?
10:47
Speaker 3: That's the bad one, yea, well, not always, not always.
10:50
Speaker 3: You can't tarnish your consumption with it's bad. But let's
10:53
Speaker 3: not go down that avenue because I don't.
10:55
Speaker 2: Want to just stop hijack.
10:56
Speaker 3: I don't want to send k close interview sideways.
11:02
Speaker 2: We had this really nice moment there just a minute ago. Ali,
11:04
Speaker 2: We're going to go back there because emotions were actually
11:08
Speaker 2: really close to the surface a lot of times on
11:10
Speaker 2: the screen, and I'm guessing that that's probably quite a
11:14
Speaker 2: unique experience for you as a host. I'm wondering how
11:18
Speaker 2: you've found having to navigate I guess the emotional temperature
11:22
Speaker 2: in the room and whether or not that was particularly
11:24
Speaker 2: draining for you.
11:27
Speaker 4: I'll admit there wasn't much left in the tank by
11:29
Speaker 4: the end of each day because it is exactly that,
11:32
Speaker 4: and because you want these conversations to you want everyone
11:36
Speaker 4: to get their point across, and we still it's television.
11:39
Speaker 4: It's still to be entertaining. So you know, when there's
11:42
Speaker 4: a bit of fire in the room, it's great, but
11:45
Speaker 4: you've still got to manage that and ensure that everyone's
11:48
Speaker 4: being respectful in that. So, I mean you would have seen,
11:51
Speaker 4: like with there are different times when the parenting style
11:55
Speaker 4: does extraordinarily well and then other times when it's really
11:59
Speaker 4: under pressure, and when that room really challenges that parenting style,
12:04
Speaker 4: it can it gets heated and you don't want to
12:08
Speaker 4: stop that debate because it's kind of what we're there for.
12:11
Speaker 4: But you've also got to be really mindful of how
12:14
Speaker 4: everyone's reacting to it and how much people can take
12:17
Speaker 4: in regards to that criticism. So I think you know,
12:21
Speaker 4: justin and I of sitting in those chairs when everyone's talking,
12:25
Speaker 4: you're reading the rest of the room, and you're sort
12:27
Speaker 4: of you're sort of seeing then how far you can
12:29
Speaker 4: push some of these conversations, and when it's time to
12:31
Speaker 4: sort of, you know, step in and remind, you know,
12:35
Speaker 4: remind everyone that we're humans and to sort of just
12:38
Speaker 4: be mindful of that.
12:40
Speaker 2: I think one of the strengths of the show is
12:42
Speaker 2: the fact that you see the good, the bad, and
12:46
Speaker 2: the ugly. It's not a betrayal of perfect parenting. And
12:51
Speaker 2: like you acknowledged, in one moment, they just shine and
12:55
Speaker 2: in the next moment they crash. And the reality that
12:59
Speaker 2: all of us experiences that on a day to day
13:01
Speaker 2: basis is just really powerful to watch as a viewer.
13:07
Speaker 4: We all have good days and bad days. Yeah, totally,
13:10
Speaker 4: and we just don't have a camera a TV crew
13:13
Speaker 4: in our house when it happens.
13:15
Speaker 2: And again, I think the other powerful thing is being
13:18
Speaker 2: able to watch it happen almost in real time and
13:23
Speaker 2: recognize how we're acting counter to the way we actually believe.
13:28
Speaker 2: And the thing that stands out to me with that
13:30
Speaker 2: one is Deepak when he talks about how his children
13:33
Speaker 2: are his great as teachers, and then he does the
13:37
Speaker 2: reverse parking challenge and in that, you know, in that moment,
13:41
Speaker 2: that high stressful moment, he's kind of going, no, no,
13:45
Speaker 2: don't trust her, trust me, trust my voice.
13:47
Speaker 3: My voice is more important than what happened.
13:50
Speaker 2: Correct and total total failure right then and there. But
13:55
Speaker 2: the fact that these parents were, for the most part,
13:58
Speaker 2: really humble in the acknowledgment. Yeah, I actually got that
14:02
Speaker 2: really wrong that time. And that's why I'm here. I
14:04
Speaker 2: want to be better. I want to learn.
14:07
Speaker 4: And that's the nice thing, isn't it. Because I remember
14:09
Speaker 4: when this show started, was it going to be something
14:11
Speaker 4: where all these parents come in and it's this my
14:14
Speaker 4: way is the best, and no other parenting style comes close.
14:18
Speaker 4: And then you're in the room with all these parents
14:20
Speaker 4: and they believe in how they raise their kids, but
14:23
Speaker 4: they're typically open to, you know, what else works and
14:28
Speaker 4: what can we do to be better? Because we all
14:30
Speaker 4: want to be better? Right And I thought in the
14:32
Speaker 4: first season that I was brought in as a bad parent.
14:34
Speaker 4: I've just started second season. I'm the perfect parent.
14:36
Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah.
14:39
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody will ever know because there's no film
14:43
Speaker 3: crew following you.
14:45
Speaker 4: This is why I say it, You're just going to
14:48
Speaker 4: have to take my word for it. I'm always then
14:50
Speaker 4: in the house. My children never fight, They always clean
14:55
Speaker 4: up after themselves, exactly right.
14:58
Speaker 3: Mornings are perfect.
15:02
Speaker 2: There were some really really difficult moments to watch in
15:05
Speaker 2: the show we had, you know, screen safety. We looked
15:10
Speaker 2: at answering the door to strangers. There was the fire.
15:13
Speaker 2: There were lots of moments that were really quite confronting
15:17
Speaker 2: for parents. What stood out to you as being one
15:19
Speaker 2: of the most challenging experiences.
15:22
Speaker 4: I actually think it was opening the front door. And
15:26
Speaker 4: I think because a lot of the conversations we have
15:29
Speaker 4: around our kids with safety is what we do when
15:32
Speaker 4: we're at the park. We talked to them about online.
15:36
Speaker 4: Yet here we are, we have more people coming to
15:38
Speaker 4: our house and deliveries with online shopping and all these
15:42
Speaker 4: days that I don't think we've ever had the discussion
15:45
Speaker 4: with the kids about not opening the door, because I
15:49
Speaker 4: mean we as we learned, you know, it's just you.
15:52
Speaker 4: The moment you cracked that door open, it's done. It's done,
15:59
Speaker 4: and that scare the hell out of me. That one.
16:02
Speaker 4: So I think that one was probably the most confronting.
16:05
Speaker 2: And as a result of those experiences ALI as you
16:08
Speaker 2: watch them, did it prompt any conversations that you had
16:11
Speaker 2: at home with your kids?
16:12
Speaker 4: I do know that with the stranger in the park
16:16
Speaker 4: with puppies, that was one where Mac was watching. When
16:20
Speaker 4: he was watching that, and he he was going, oh, Mum,
16:23
Speaker 4: you never never go as strangers, do you. And I'm
16:26
Speaker 4: sitting on the couch thinking I've had this really great
16:28
Speaker 4: win and how good a parent am I? He understands it. Yes,
16:31
Speaker 4: unless they've got puppies, then you'd absolutely go, wouldn't you.
16:34
Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, there's a little bit more work to
16:38
Speaker 4: do around this. We have watched it with the kids
16:40
Speaker 4: and we've had some really important conversations. But you know,
16:43
Speaker 4: I think those conversations have to take place as they're
16:46
Speaker 4: actually seeing it and they can visualize it, and so
16:49
Speaker 4: you know, that's a conversation that we've now had about
16:52
Speaker 4: what happens when the doorbell rings and what you do
16:56
Speaker 4: in that moment. I mean, we're currently not leaving the
16:58
Speaker 4: kids at home on their own. I mean, I reckon
17:02
Speaker 4: six more months before we do that, right, I mean,
17:05
Speaker 4: you wouldn't leave six and a half. He'll be fine,
17:08
Speaker 4: but not home on their own. But it is one
17:10
Speaker 4: of those things for down the track that need to
17:13
Speaker 4: be aware of.
17:14
Speaker 2: Well, Allie, I could talk to you all day. There
17:15
Speaker 2: are so many more questions that I want to ask you.
17:18
Speaker 3: That was much nicer to you than cheers to me.
17:21
Speaker 4: Well, that's true, I think I like you more.
17:26
Speaker 2: That is not true.
17:27
Speaker 4: I adore your husband and for doing the show. He's
17:32
Speaker 4: sitting next to him telling me to stop talking, stop
17:36
Speaker 4: saying nice things. But I mean, he's a wonderful human
17:39
Speaker 4: being and he's got a beautiful way with you know,
17:41
Speaker 4: the wisdom and all that he shares and the advice
17:45
Speaker 4: and that it's never attacking parents, and it's just always
17:47
Speaker 4: so helpful, and you know, he's made me a better parent.
17:51
Speaker 4: So but now I'm gonna say some really mean things
17:53
Speaker 4: about him, so he doesn't get a big cat.
17:54
Speaker 2: Great give them to me. Come on, come on, Allie.
18:00
Speaker 3: I watched season two though, as everyone else says around
18:02
Speaker 3: the country, and Alie, I feel like I need to
18:05
Speaker 3: be a little bit crankier in season three. I feel
18:07
Speaker 3: like I feel like I just need to be a
18:09
Speaker 3: bit firmer on a few things like well, you know what,
18:12
Speaker 3: I'm not going to talk about them now, We've talked
18:13
Speaker 3: about it for the last couple of weeks on the podcast,
18:15
Speaker 3: but I think season three we might see a not heaps,
18:19
Speaker 3: but just I'm going to ratchet it up a couple
18:21
Speaker 3: of levels, and I think the challenges are going to
18:22
Speaker 3: go up a level or two as well, if we're
18:25
Speaker 3: lucky enough to get a season.
18:27
Speaker 5: Three The Darker side of Doctor Justin Coulson anyway, coming
18:31
Speaker 5: to you season three, Well, if I could say one
18:36
Speaker 5: thing to wrap things up, what stands out to me
18:39
Speaker 5: the most is that in every family there needs to
18:41
Speaker 5: be somebody.
18:42
Speaker 2: Who is the glue that holds it all together. And
18:45
Speaker 2: you just did such a beautiful job of bringing just
18:51
Speaker 2: structure and definitely control of the room, but warmth. And
18:56
Speaker 2: I loved seeing that that moment when you took Kat out.
18:59
Speaker 3: Of the room.
19:00
Speaker 2: I don't think there was a dry eye in all
19:02
Speaker 2: of Australia and it was just beautiful that you were
19:05
Speaker 2: able to be there and to take that beautifully maternal
19:08
Speaker 2: approach and help her through what was such a challenging moment.
19:13
Speaker 2: And I just I just want to tell you how
19:15
Speaker 2: much I appreciated that the show in general, but just
19:19
Speaker 2: I'm speechless, speechless.
19:23
Speaker 4: Job but I mean in that moment, right, I mean
19:26
Speaker 4: you were sitting at home and watching it, and all
19:28
Speaker 4: you wanted to do was to give Kat a hug.
19:30
Speaker 4: I mean I was in the room and I was
19:31
Speaker 4: in a position where I could That's all I wanted
19:33
Speaker 4: to do in that moment. That's instinct, right, And you
19:36
Speaker 4: would have done it, Kylie if you were sitting there
19:37
Speaker 4: and you just just to wrap your arms around her
19:40
Speaker 4: and tell her it's going to be okay.
19:43

19:45
