29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: Hey guys, Simon, I heard a very funny story about

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: you the other and I don't want to be done.

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: I don't want to embarrass you, but I've got three

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 3: young boys. But it made me feel pretty crap about

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: the birthday parties I have put.

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: On from my kids over the years.

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: Would you like to tell the guys how much of

36
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: a high roller you are when it comes to curring

37
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: kids parties?

38
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: Yes? Well, well it was as a complete accident. So

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: I was having a birthday which was a big number.

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: It was fifty. Well, originally it was my birthday and

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: Lauren and I my wife, and I got married at

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Luna Park and we went, okay, let's get have my

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: birthday party at Luna Park from my fiftieth and have

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: a big party. Now we booked the venue. We could

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: never get the right date because of all the touring

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: and everything have a going on, and so we just

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: kept putting it back and back and back until it

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: no longer made sense to have my fiftieth birthday. But

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: we paid a deposit, a substantial amount of money deposit,

50
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: and so then it was Ash's third birthday coming up,

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: and so we ended up having ashes third birthday at

52
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: Luna Park with everyone getting their wristbands having the you

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: know on the right.

54
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: That's iconic, I know, But how did the other parents feel?

55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: That would have been like, how is this guy bloody

56
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: rolling into the school?

57
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: And see, these are all parents I've never met before

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 2: day care and so they're all coming for the first time.

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: I didn't know them, they're all coming along.

60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: And yes, also you're an og Wiggle. If I was

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: a parent, I would make my kid be friends with

62
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: your kid because I would expect it to be an amazing.

63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: Especially after that power move.

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well we're in the park now, I have a

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: little bit of soccer in a jumping cast downhill.

66
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: Welcome to reality, kid, Yeah that's right.

67
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: What happens like when the Wiggles have little kids around,

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: like kids must just stare at you in absolute awe,

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: like do they think you're the party entertainment?

70
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean yes, I think so I tend to

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: I tend to end up having to look after a

72
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: lot of children a birthday parties, yeah, with a lot

73
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: of children, but also children when you're not in your colors.

74
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: They really, depending on their age, don't really know. But

75
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: see what's life like for you? How I mean it's

76
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: it's sort of it's actually in the blood.

77
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: It actually is. My dad is Anthony for context for

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: anyone it doesn't know. He actually never he was never

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the star at my birthday parties. I will say he

80
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: wasn't he Actually he chose to stay at the barbecue

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, which is fair enough.

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: So it was there he's a blue wiged was there

83
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: some sort of ceremony like a skivvy handing over ceremony?

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: It's like the baggy.

85
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: No, it was it was actually it was quite rushed, really.

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: They were changing the lineup and I got a call.

87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: I was at my cousin's place and it actually wasn't

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: even Dad's idea. Uh, and he was like, we're changing

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the lineup. Would you like to be a blue wiggle?

90
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Of course I said yes. Two weeks later I was

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: in the recording studio. So wow, no special ceremony.

92
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: But growing up. Like I mentioned before, I got three

93
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: young boys. They don't really care what I do for

94
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: a living, Like, you know, it's just not cool to

95
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: your kids. Like do you remember growing up and did

96
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,680

Speaker 3: biggest groups in the world.

00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: I don't.

99
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I understood how big it was, honestly,

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: and looking back at it now, I'm.

101
