But 30 00:01:38,173 --> 00:01:40,693 Speaker 3: I'm a dancer, so I literally went to dancing like 31 00:01:40,693 --> 00:01:43,133 Speaker 3: a dance school my whole life, and I trained up 32 00:01:43,213 --> 00:01:45,933 Speaker 3: until year ten. Mid year ten, the Wiggles asked if 33 00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:48,013 Speaker 3: I'd like to come on the road as a Wiggly dancer. 34 00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:51,493 Speaker 3: I said yes, and then halfway during the tour they said, 35 00:01:51,493 --> 00:01:52,533 Speaker 3: would you like to be a Wiggle? 36 00:01:53,293 --> 00:01:55,253 Speaker 2: That's literally how it happening, and it's okay.

We had 40 00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:04,813 Speaker 3: a TV show called Fruit Saler TV, which was on YouTube. 41 00:02:05,213 --> 00:02:07,533 Speaker 3: I was a red Wiggle at the time and it 42 00:02:07,573 --> 00:02:09,613 Speaker 3: was really really cool. That was on a Zoom meeting 43 00:02:09,653 --> 00:02:12,013 Speaker 3: we had all the other the four other Wiggles. Because 44 00:02:12,053 --> 00:02:15,173 Speaker 3: we've expanded to h with the four other Wiggles John Pierce, 45 00:02:15,253 --> 00:02:16,893 Speaker 3: the current Purple Wiggle, he was on there with me 46 00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:19,733 Speaker 3: as well, and they said, would you guys like to 47 00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:22,453 Speaker 3: be part of our new TV series Forsella. 48 00:02:22,053 --> 00:02:25,733 Speaker 2: TV right, and so like they just say, hey, guys, 49 00:02:25,853 --> 00:02:27,373 Speaker 2: hope you're having a good day. Do you want to 50 00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:29,373 Speaker 2: be part of the TV show? And you're like, oh 51 00:02:29,413 --> 00:02:31,653 Speaker 2: my gosh, or like do they build up? Do they say, 52 00:02:31,853 --> 00:02:34,693 Speaker 2: you know, we've been really impressed with you guys, your professionalism, 53 00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:37,653 Speaker 2: your talents, or they how do they break it? Can 54 00:02:37,693 --> 00:02:38,013 Speaker 2: you remember? 55 00:02:38,133 --> 00:02:39,853 Speaker 3: I can't even remember. It was kind of a blow. 56 00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:42,453 Speaker 3: I was actually at school when that had happened. I 57 00:02:43,173 --> 00:02:44,933 Speaker 3: went into one of the little rooms and I put 58 00:02:44,973 --> 00:02:49,253 Speaker 3: my headphones on. You were literally at school at school, Yeah, literally, 59 00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:52,693 Speaker 3: So it was kind of surreal. I honestly can't remember 60 00:02:52,733 --> 00:02:55,333 Speaker 3: most of it, but what was pretty fast, and we 61 00:02:55,493 --> 00:02:57,853 Speaker 3: kind of all had an inkling something was happening, but 62 00:02:57,933 --> 00:02:59,733 Speaker 3: we didn't really know it was that. And I think 63 00:02:59,773 --> 00:03:01,413 Speaker 3: even when they told us, we didn't realize we were 64 00:03:01,453 --> 00:03:03,893 Speaker 3: being Wiggles. We just thought were characters until we got 65 00:03:03,893 --> 00:03:06,213 Speaker 3: into the studio and they gave us Skivvy's. I got 66 00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:08,533 Speaker 3: Red Skivvy with the names hire written on it. Then 67 00:03:08,573 --> 00:03:11,653 Speaker 3: I realized, oh, my goodness, I'm being a wiggle right now. Oh, 68 00:03:11,893 --> 00:03:14,573 Speaker 3: which is cool. And then so from there we filmed 69 00:03:14,573 --> 00:03:16,973 Speaker 3: that TV series and it was mid lockdown, so I 70 00:03:16,973 --> 00:03:19,853 Speaker 3: didn't see anyone for ages. And then I think a 71 00:03:19,933 --> 00:03:22,893 Speaker 3: week before we were meant like restrictions were ending, we 72 00:03:22,893 --> 00:03:25,333 Speaker 3: were about to go back into the world. They asked 73 00:03:25,333 --> 00:03:27,373 Speaker 3: if I could come into the office on a Monday, 74 00:03:27,493 --> 00:03:29,293 Speaker 3: and I was like, Oh, I'm going back to dancing 75 00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:31,453 Speaker 3: and like my dance school. So I was like, oh, 76 00:03:31,493 --> 00:03:32,973 Speaker 3: can I come the next day just so I know 77 00:03:33,013 --> 00:03:34,533 Speaker 3: how the rest of my year's going to turn out. 78 00:03:34,653 --> 00:03:37,293 Speaker 3: And they said, we really really need you. I was like, oh, yeah, okay, 79 00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,373 Speaker 3: that's fine, it's not that deep. I'll go yeah. And 80 00:03:39,413 --> 00:03:42,293 Speaker 3: then that morning before I went in, they set up 81 00:03:42,333 --> 00:03:44,653 Speaker 3: a zoom meeting and they said, so hi, Like that 82 00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:47,053 Speaker 3: was where they kind of like said, we've been really 83 00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:49,733 Speaker 3: loving having you along the team. Would you like to 84 00:03:50,133 --> 00:03:53,133 Speaker 3: take over Emma's role and become the Yellow Wiggle? And 85 00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:55,733 Speaker 3: that was a pretty pretty surreal moment. 86 00:03:55,853 --> 00:03:58,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, that must have been incredible, like do you and 87 00:03:58,853 --> 00:04:00,773 Speaker 2: you get like the rush of a dreamland and all 88 00:04:00,773 --> 00:04:02,493 Speaker 2: of that when they're telling you, but you're trying to be. 89 00:04:02,493 --> 00:04:05,693 Speaker 3: Professional literally, and like we had no clue, Like we 90 00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:07,693 Speaker 3: did not know. We thought maybe, like I don't know, 91 00:04:07,733 --> 00:04:09,333 Speaker 3: they were doing a new song or something they needed 92 00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:11,413 Speaker 3: me to bring something in. But my mom and dad 93 00:04:11,413 --> 00:04:13,653 Speaker 3: were sitting next to me. My brother was off on 94 00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:15,573 Speaker 3: the camera and they were Mom was trying not to cry. 95 00:04:15,653 --> 00:04:19,333 Speaker 3: She's like, oh my goodness.

Yeah, I think there's there's a few of my 172 00:07:28,853 --> 00:07:32,333 Speaker 3: Instagram and I was going through my mom's like laptop 173 00:07:32,373 --> 00:07:33,813 Speaker 3: the other day and I found a video of me 174 00:07:33,853 --> 00:07:35,813 Speaker 3: doing like rockerby Evan when I was like two. 175 00:07:35,973 --> 00:07:38,853 Speaker 2: So yes, that's so funny because I feel like it's 176 00:07:38,893 --> 00:07:41,933 Speaker 2: the kind of soundtrack to a million childhood or to 177 00:07:42,173 --> 00:07:45,853 Speaker 2: like teen million childhood. So you know, it's pretty remarkable 178 00:07:45,853 --> 00:07:48,413 Speaker 2: that you can go from that that. I don't want 179 00:07:48,413 --> 00:07:53,173 Speaker 2: to say a brand, yeah, but a group canon dua 180 00:07:53,933 --> 00:07:56,733 Speaker 2: through generations like that. Don't you think this? Why do 181 00:07:56,733 --> 00:07:57,293 Speaker 2: you think that is? 182 00:07:57,853 --> 00:08:00,213 Speaker 3: I think it all stemps from the original four the 183 00:08:00,253 --> 00:08:04,253 Speaker 3: og Wiggles. They were all had back up in like 184 00:08:04,573 --> 00:08:07,773 Speaker 3: early childhood teaching, so they were all preschool teachers and 185 00:08:07,813 --> 00:08:09,853 Speaker 3: they all loved music. They literally had their own band 186 00:08:09,893 --> 00:08:12,653 Speaker 3: called the Cockroaches, so they were pretty cool. And then 187 00:08:13,133 --> 00:08:15,493 Speaker 3: I don't know how that switch happened, but they started 188 00:08:15,493 --> 00:08:17,853 Speaker 3: making music for children, and I think because they had 189 00:08:17,893 --> 00:08:21,573 Speaker 3: such a mazing knowledge in both they could combine it together. 190 00:08:21,653 --> 00:08:25,493 Speaker 3: And also, our audience renews every few years, so it's like, 191 00:08:25,813 --> 00:08:27,813 Speaker 3: you know, it's not getting old because you've always got 192 00:08:27,813 --> 00:08:29,093 Speaker 3: a new audience. Yeah. 193 00:08:29,253 --> 00:08:31,813 Speaker 2: Do you do you have a trick for getting the 194 00:08:31,893 --> 00:08:34,013 Speaker 2: songs out of your head at the end of the day. 195 00:08:34,533 --> 00:08:37,653 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean I When I. 196 00:08:37,573 --> 00:08:41,053 Speaker 2: First it was criticism of the song. They're amazing and 197 00:08:41,093 --> 00:08:42,813 Speaker 2: put of the reason that the group is so successful 198 00:08:42,853 --> 00:08:44,973 Speaker 2: is because they are so catchy. But they are so catchy. 199 00:08:45,053 --> 00:08:47,093 Speaker 3: They are so catchy. Honestly, every time we have a 200 00:08:47,093 --> 00:08:49,293 Speaker 3: new one, too get stuck in my head. I think 201 00:08:49,373 --> 00:08:51,933 Speaker 3: I listened to very different music when I'm at home 202 00:08:52,013 --> 00:08:52,373 Speaker 3: or in the. 203 00:08:54,053 --> 00:08:54,773 Speaker 2: What's very different? 204 00:08:54,893 --> 00:08:57,213 Speaker 3: What's very different? Oh, it goes from everywhere. So I 205 00:08:57,213 --> 00:09:00,013 Speaker 3: do love a bit of R and B and rap, yes, 206 00:09:00,093 --> 00:09:02,333 Speaker 3: but I also love some good old school dad tunes. 207 00:09:02,373 --> 00:09:03,533 Speaker 1: So oh I like that. 208 00:09:03,613 --> 00:09:06,333 Speaker 2: Okay, give me the give me the like most hard 209 00:09:06,453 --> 00:09:07,653 Speaker 2: core rep that you listen to. 210 00:09:08,213 --> 00:09:11,373 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm trying to think. Okay, I like 211 00:09:11,453 --> 00:09:13,533 Speaker 3: more of the nineties vibes. I'm more of like with 212 00:09:13,733 --> 00:09:16,853 Speaker 3: Nelly and Biggie. Yeah like that. I like that. I 213 00:09:16,973 --> 00:09:19,493 Speaker 3: like this stuff now, Like I still love like Who's 214 00:09:20,173 --> 00:09:22,693 Speaker 3: like Don Tolliver and like Kendrick and all that, Like 215 00:09:22,693 --> 00:09:25,493 Speaker 3: it's still like that too, but like definitely because of 216 00:09:25,573 --> 00:09:27,653 Speaker 3: my parents. Like I'll just listen to the nineties wrath. 217 00:09:27,933 --> 00:09:31,733 Speaker 2: It's so funny, Like, yeah, talking about contrasts and nothing 218 00:09:31,773 --> 00:09:36,253 Speaker 2: gets excellent out of your here country Grammar Ross, did 219 00:09:36,333 --> 00:09:42,813 Speaker 2: you Yeah, that's funny. What surprised you about what surprised 220 00:09:42,853 --> 00:09:45,693 Speaker 2: you about the institution? Now that you are absolutely part 221 00:09:45,733 --> 00:09:47,973 Speaker 2: of it and you are touring and you are performing 222 00:09:48,013 --> 00:09:50,613 Speaker 2: all the time, what do you understand about the Wiggles 223 00:09:50,653 --> 00:09:53,053 Speaker 2: that you didn't understand when you're on the outside. 224 00:09:53,413 --> 00:09:56,093 Speaker 3: I think how important it is when we do our 225 00:09:56,133 --> 00:09:59,893 Speaker 3: shows that were catering to children and that this is 226 00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:02,053 Speaker 3: their first time seeing a live concert. This is like 227 00:10:02,133 --> 00:10:05,213 Speaker 3: all experiences, especially with little ones, is very exciting for 228 00:10:05,253 --> 00:10:07,413 Speaker 3: their parents. So with could buy a bear, for example, 229 00:10:07,573 --> 00:10:12,173 Speaker 3: everybody clap, you know, they clapped three times. That's something amazing, 230 00:10:12,293 --> 00:10:15,373 Speaker 3: Like little steps are huge to them. So it's pretty 231 00:10:15,413 --> 00:10:17,453 Speaker 3: amazing to see it firsthand when we see a parent 232 00:10:17,493 --> 00:10:20,653 Speaker 3: watching their child like join along and they just are 233 00:10:20,693 --> 00:10:22,973 Speaker 3: beaming with happiness. So that's pretty much stood out to me. 234 00:10:23,293 --> 00:10:24,053 Speaker 2: Do you like kids? 235 00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:28,493 Speaker 3: Oh, I mean no, of course absolutely scan. 236 00:10:31,093 --> 00:10:33,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, But I mean you know, because the 237 00:10:34,013 --> 00:10:37,813 Speaker 2: OG four were came from a background and in early 238 00:10:37,853 --> 00:10:40,933 Speaker 2: childhood education, yes, you were still at school, yes, literally, 239 00:10:41,013 --> 00:10:43,493 Speaker 2: so it's not like you've had heaps of experience on 240 00:10:43,493 --> 00:10:44,293 Speaker 2: that front necessarily. 241 00:10:44,293 --> 00:10:46,213 Speaker 3: No, And that's probably what I've learned the most.
