0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Light spread, I see. I love Vegemi so much. I

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.199
<v Speaker 1>just do a lot, but I do it with butter.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I do Vegemi cheese, do Vegimi Soldiers.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey guys, Simon, I heard a very funny story about

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 3>you the other and I don't want to be done.

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to embarrass you, but I've got three

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 3>young boys. But it made me feel pretty crap about

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>the birthday parties I have put.

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>On from my kids over the years.

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Would you like to tell the guys how much of

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 3>a high roller you are when it comes to curring

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 3>kids parties?

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Well, well it was as a complete accident. So

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I was having a birthday which was a big number.

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>It was fifty. Well, originally it was my birthday and

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Lauren and I my wife, and I got married at

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Luna Park and we went, okay, let's get have my

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>birthday party at Luna Park from my fiftieth and have

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a big party. Now we booked the venue. We could

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>never get the right date because of all the touring

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and everything have a going on, and so we just

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 2>kept putting it back and back and back until it

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>no longer made sense to have my fiftieth birthday. But

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>we paid a deposit, a substantial amount of money deposit,

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.799
<v Speaker 2>and so then it was Ash's third birthday coming up,

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and so we ended up having ashes third birthday at

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Luna Park with everyone getting their wristbands having the you

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>know on the right.

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 3>That's iconic, I know, But how did the other parents feel?

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>That would have been like, how is this guy bloody

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 3>rolling into the school?

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>And see, these are all parents I've never met before

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.399
<v Speaker 2>day care and so they're all coming for the first time.

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know them, they're all coming along.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 4>And yes, also you're an og Wiggle. If I was

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 4>a parent, I would make my kid be friends with

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 4>your kid because I would expect it to be an amazing.

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Especially after that power move.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well we're in the park now, I have a

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit of soccer in a jumping cast downhill.

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to reality, kid, Yeah that's right.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 4>What happens like when the Wiggles have little kids around,

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 4>like kids must just stare at you in absolute awe,

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 4>like do they think you're the party entertainment?

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean yes, I think so I tend to

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I tend to end up having to look after a

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of children a birthday parties, yeah, with a lot

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>of children, but also children when you're not in your colors.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>They really, depending on their age, don't really know. But

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 2>see what's life like for you? How I mean it's

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of it's actually in the blood.

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It actually is. My dad is Anthony for context for

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>anyone it doesn't know. He actually never he was never

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the star at my birthday parties. I will say he

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't he Actually he chose to stay at the barbecue

0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, which is fair enough.

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 2>So it was there he's a blue wiged was there

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>some sort of ceremony like a skivvy handing over ceremony?

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>It's like the baggy.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>No, it was it was actually it was quite rushed, really.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>They were changing the lineup and I got a call.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>I was at my cousin's place and it actually wasn't

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.799
<v Speaker 1>even Dad's idea. Uh, and he was like, we're changing

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the lineup. Would you like to be a blue wiggle?

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Of course I said yes. Two weeks later I was

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>in the recording studio. So wow, no special ceremony.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 3>But growing up. Like I mentioned before, I got three

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 3>young boys. They don't really care what I do for

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 3>a living, Like, you know, it's just not cool to

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 3>your kids. Like do you remember growing up and did

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>you care that dad was part of one of the

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 3>biggest groups in the world.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I understood how big it was, honestly,

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.159
<v Speaker 1>and looking back at it now, I'm.

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Like, whoa, well, but did you listen to the Wiggles.

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:52.760
