1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: The Wiggles are just extraordinary. They've been in the news

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: a couple of times the last few weeks. I saw

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a story last week there was a girl in her

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: twenties who has Down syndrome and she was in hospital

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: with COVID and she was very anxious about putting the

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: breathing tube nebulizer I'm not sure in her nose. And

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: a male nurse who observed her love of the Wiggles

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 2: and saw her fear of this, got in touch with

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: the Wiggles, and the Wiggles wrote a little song for her,

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: and there's Anthony. They made a little clip. Anthony has

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: the breathing tube in and says, here's how we put

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: it in and it'll help you breathe. And they showed

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: it to her and she is now at home again.

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: She has been treated for COVID and is at home.

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: The Wiggles are remarkable. I don't really think they are.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: And this last week they've added, well, they've promoted that

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: they've added four new racially diverse characters into the lineup.

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: Four new members. So they've got Anthony, Simon, Emma and

20
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: Lockie Yep. But now we have to say I hype.

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: I'm pronouncing her name correctly from Ethie will wear red

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: evy twenty four year old Indigenous woman.

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: There'll be two red Wiggles and two blue Wiggles.

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: I think so. Kelly Hamilton is an Asian Australian. She'll

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: wear yellow and John Pierce, formerly from Justice Crew, was

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: going to wear purple. Anthony Wiggle. Anthony Field has said

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: I looked around the world and I thought, we have

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: to reflect our audience. We are not the world. The

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: audience is not just one culture. We want children to

30
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: see a mirror of themselves. Who would argue with that?

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Matt Canavan would, the National Senator from Queensland. He regularly

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: rails against progressive social issues and he said, look, the

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: Wiggles are free to do what they like. But it

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: was nice while it lasted. You go Woke, You go, bro,

35
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: who's the dinosaur here?

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: I laughed at the telegrats head line though on the

37
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: weekend was woke Up, Jeff, which was.

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Which Woke is a word that has come to say, oh,

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: you're overly trying too hard to be something.

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Well. Barack Obama was the first person that brought woke

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: to the conversation. He was the one I wish people

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be so woke, meaning let's not jump down each

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: other's throats for every small mention, which I kind of agree.

44
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: Sure, but this isn't woke. This is just reflecting life.

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: And there's been a number of times when kids shows

46
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: have pushed the envelope a little bit, and I've tried

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: to do this, and I've had a bit of backlash.

48
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Remember Tinky Winky from Telly Tubby.

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: That's right, had a handbag, was voiced.

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 2: As a male, but had a handbag like the color purple.

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: And years later, yes, the the producers of the show

52
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: have said, yes, you know that's the Pride color, and yes,

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: that's what we were doing.

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid, you watched mister Squiggle,

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Mister Squiggle, Miss Patteny's Pencilly nose, and he'd draw drawings.

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: And remember steam Shovel, hurry up? Was that blackboard? Remember

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: blackboard was cranky steamshovel. But steam Shovel had a little

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: little plant on the on the back of his little veranda,

59
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: on the back of his steam show.

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: So you're saying the fact he had a flower on him,

61
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: says he was gay. Is that what you're saying.

62
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Look, I'm from the era if you wore a pink shirt,

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: you were gay. That was the era that we lived in.

64
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I've always been trying to break the bollan.

65
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: And I know Matt Cavant whatever his name Isana, that's Cavanagh.

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: Is it Kevana canavan category anyway? Sorry, it's cand of

67
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 2: away from him.

68
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm more very progressive. And the thing about the generation

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: that we live in now, perhaps it's not for us

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: right now, but you just have understanding of it. I

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: don't have any beef with the Wiggels putting binary or

72
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: non binary. I don't understand non binary or binary. But

73
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: I'll sit there and go, okay, well that's.

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: Your imagine being a kid watching that, and it's just

75
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: part of the It's no big deal. It's just part

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: of the lineup. It changes everything.

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: And if you look at the history Berton Ernie on

78
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: Sesame Street, come on, come.

79
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: On, this feels kind of soft and fluffy, like no, no,

00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: don't don't tell me, brou don't tell me. I want

81
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: to guess this now. No, let's see moving down And

82
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: this kind of feels roundish and it's sort of sort

83
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: of squishy like and it's like a bear sponge. Yes, yes,

84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: blude this let's see moving on down. Oh wait, this

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: is interesting. Look at this and this part's kind of

86
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: smooth and it feels sort of thin and.

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Well it's it's floppy.

88
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: It's floppy like a garden. Hey, that's interesting.

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: Was it? I think that's the me too campaign that

90
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Bert started on Ernie.

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: How intriguing Jonesy and Amanda's genation
