1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jump Mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: Oh, listen to that Hot Potato, Hot Potato. The Wiggles

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: have been part of my life from the moment I

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: had children, huge part of our lives, singing, dancing, the

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: colored Skivvyes, they have it all internationally famous. Well, there's

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: a new Wiggle and I haven't met her yet, and

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled to talk to today. She's the youngest in

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: the band's history. It's sixteen year old Sahai Hawkins. Who's

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: the new Yellow Wiggle.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: Sahai, Hello, Hi, Hi, thank you for having me.

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: Well, it's great to have you. And I saw you dance.

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: You're a really good dancer. You can do it all.

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: And you know what, I've seen a lot of Wiggles

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: in my time, so Amanda says, she's had a long history.

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: I saw the Wiggles, the o g Wiggles when my son,

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: who's almost thirty, was little and all they had was

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: a trestle table and these Skivvy's like the cheap you know,

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: they've got the fancy skivvies now, they just had the

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: cheapy skiv and the.

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: Big red car was just a cardboard cutout.

22
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: There are pinstains everywhere, and those guys they didn't dance

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: a patch on what you dan.

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: Oh, well they were what I grew up with, so

25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: I guess I got my dancing skills excited by them.

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting according to Wigglepedia, and there is such

27
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: a thing your first TV parents was on Fruit Salad

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: TV and you were ten.

29
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: On Frits TV.

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah apparently, so it's what wiggle Pedia says. And let's

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: not dispute.

32
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: Are you questioning wiggle I think I am. The first

33
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: thing I've done on TV was play school. I was ten,

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: but I didn't know I was. Frit Saler TV was

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: last year.

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: Well, let's let's dismiss Wigglepedia.

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: And let's talk about the origins of your yellow skivvy.

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: So Greg had that that begat and then that one

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: on Emma went over to Emma and then Emma handed

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: it on to you. Is there some sort of military

41
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: passing out with that when they hand over the skivvy?

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: Oh, I guess you kind of did it at the

43
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: Carrols too, with the handing over the skivvy. But I

44
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: remember the night before everything was announced, Emma gave me

45
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 3: a call and he just told me to take everything

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: as it goes and to enjoy it and gave me

47
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: some advice and it was a really really nice handover,

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: which was great.

49
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: You've got such an interesting story. You were born in

50
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Ethiopia adopted by your Australian parents, who I guess helped

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: you embrace Australia but also continued your understanding of your

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: own culture. How old were you when you came to Australia.

53
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: I was about seven months old when my parents had

54
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: adopted me and brought me over. And I've lived in

55
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: the same place in semi rural town called Bargo in Sydney.

56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: And and then I guess, like with my adoption story,

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: my parents always thought it'd be really important that I

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: embraced my Ethiopian culture, which was theirs born, and also

59
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: like the Aussie culture that they've grown up with. So

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: they always had like ethoch and stuff around the house.

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: And because of where I lived, it was a very

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: like old town Aussie community, so I got both the

63
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: best of both worlds. And yeah, I just I guess

64
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: I've been very blessed the way I've grown up. I've

65
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: had a very great I've got a lovely family and

66
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: when I was growing up. We were around a lot

67
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: of the Ethiopian kids that have been adopted from the

68
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: same from the same like docs, and we used to

69
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: go to like Ethiopian picnics and learn I'm harrick like,

70
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: which is one of the most common Ethiopian languages. We

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 3: used to be Ethiopian dancing, listen to the music as

72
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: the group, and it was a really a nice way

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: to just keep our heritage part of our life.

74
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Ethiopia except when you were born? Obviously, No, I.

75
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: Haven't been back. Every time I've tried to go, it's

76
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: just never been right or there's been things going on.

77
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: It's probably not safe to go there. Sure, so when

78
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: we when I do get a chance, or I very

79
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: want to go.

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Back because it's how was Ethiopia going now, because it

81
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: was it was in terrible times, but now you don't

82
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: really hear about it as much anymore.

83
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure too much to make a comment

84
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: on it, but I do know that there's a little

85
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: bit of political like stuff sides with tribes and stuff,

86
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: so it's a bit probably not the best time to

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: go back. But when I when it's a bit safe

88
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: for I would definitely.

89
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Like to show world. So highs come on the show

90
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: and now I'm asking about Ethiopia, what's going on?

91
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: What's the national rain's going on?

92
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: So Hi?

93
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: It must be an extraordinary thing. And I know you're

94
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: handling all of this in your stride, but it's such

95
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: a big deal and you're about to embark on the

96
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: big show tour. This is, I think is one of

97
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: the biggest tours they've done. I know you're going to

98
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200
