forgot that I was still wearing my my wiggle's clothes.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Do people recognize you when you're not when you're your
civilian clothes?
Speaker 10 (08:52):
John, Yeah, we started to get that a lot lately.
We've been doing it for the last few years and
New ones especially, and we do. We did get picked
up by the parents. The children don't really recognize you
as much without you, John, you're organized by the mom's
a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, oh yeah, John, for your perfectly good skippy I
just blamed my brother Lenny.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That's right.

So how's life change for you and the and the
Wiggles massively?
Speaker 9 (09:21):
And now this is my first international tour without my family, Like,
I'm doing it as a big girl now this time,
so I'm absolutely loving it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Best crew.
Speaker 3 (09:29):

I did.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I used to.
Speaker 9 (09:32):

my room. But now I've got all my news.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Lying solo on.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The tour, solo of course.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Working with your dad as well. I feel like you've
been introducing him to some new music. I've seen the
Wiggles sort of do some different songs of Blake.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Well, we've got the DJ Dorothy Rave of Innocence, So
DJ Dorothy, she's a DJ. Now she's done remixes of
all of the Wiggles classic songs. And it's really funny
when dad comes to some of the DJ Dorothy shows
and he gets up on stage. He has no idea
what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's really funny to watch.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I do love the rave of the hits that John
and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
With us in the studio.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You've got a question you want to ask them Hits
four for seven being you've just presented pictures of them
and younger eras having to sign themselves and John, we
got your twin brother actually at the time, sorry, look
at your brother's here cut. That is a it's kind
of got a long, sort of sort of emo mullet
going on, but the bottom of it died blaze.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Yeah, it was scucksy lux pack. We had that hairstyle
and that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We strained it and for a while.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You guys, you know you're identical, but he's very very
different looking now to you, right, and.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Yeah, like biologically everything is the same. It's just he's
grown a beard, lost a little bit of weight, and
he's got a top knot with a tattoo on his
side of his head. It's a great way to distinguish
difference between us and.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
He's got Lenny and you've got jobs.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's not an alter ego by you or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's not tix you full for it s even if
your songs come up on your playlist, are you listening
or skipping?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
All right?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Listening?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I've got a three and a half year old, so
we listen. We listened?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, do you skip me? Jim?
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Yeah, look here all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I don't have a.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Kid, so for me. But when did your child make
the connection between the two?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Pretty early on he came on the road with us
asher like as from a little baby, so he's sort
of been around it, but he doesn't. He doesn' actually
watch the show too much. He doesn't like it that much.
He's more of a fire and Sam.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Hello the heads you're on with the Whiggels. You got
a question? Oh yes, yes, take it away.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Sorry, shook me by surprise.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
You know you're calling us right? Good?
Speaker 7 (11:55):
Hi guys, just wondering when you when you perform, do
you get a lot of the parents singing along with you?
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Yeah? Yeah, that's a great question. I feel like it's
become a full circle moment now because a lot of
the parents were children going to Anthony era shows, so
it's really full circle.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well, you just say you did some pub gigs too,
didn't you for the adults.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Yeah, the adults do sing along. They sometimes they're into
it a little bit more.

Wiggles sort of do some different songs of Blake.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Well, we've got the DJ Dorothy Rave of Innocence, So
DJ Dorothy, she's a DJ. Now she's done remixes of
all of the Wiggles classic songs. And it's really funny
when dad comes to some of the DJ Dorothy shows
and he gets up on stage. He has no idea
what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's really funny to watch.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I do love the rave of the hits that John
and Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
With us in the studio.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
You've got a question you want to ask them Hits
four for seven being you've just presented pictures of them
and younger eras having to sign themselves and John, we
got your twin brother actually at the time, sorry, look
at your brother's here cut. That is a it's kind
of got a long, sort of sort of emo mullet
going on, but the bottom of it died blaze.
Speaker 10 (10:34):
Yeah, it was scucksy lux pack. We had that hairstyle
and that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We strained it and for a while.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You guys, you know you're identical, but he's very very
different looking now to you, right, and.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
Yeah, like biologically everything is the same. It's just he's
grown a beard, lost a little bit of weight, and
he's got a top knot with a tattoo on his
side of his head. It's a great way to distinguish
difference between us and.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
He's got Lenny and you've got jobs.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's not an alter ego by you or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It's not tix you full for it s even if
your songs come up on your playlist, are you listening
or skipping?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
All right?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Listening?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I've got a three and a half year old, so
we listen. We listened?

Speaker 8 (11:18):
Yeah, look here all the time.
Speaker 2 (11:20):

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Kid, so for me. But when did your child make
the connection between the two?
Speaker 6 (11:26):
Pretty early on he came on the road with us
asher like as from a little baby, so he's sort
of been around it, but he doesn't. He doesn' actually
watch the show too much. He doesn't like it that much.
He's more of a fire and Sam.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Hello the heads you're on with the Whiggels. You got
a question? Oh yes, yes, take it away.
Speaker 8 (11:47):
Sorry, shook me by surprise.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
Hi guys, just wondering when you when you perform, do
you get a lot of the parents singing along with you?
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Yeah? Yeah, that's a great question. I feel like it's
become a full circle moment now because a lot of
the parents were children going to Anthony era shows, so
it's really full circle.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Well, you just say you did some pub gigs too,
didn't you for the adults.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Yeah, the adults do sing along. They sometimes they're into
it a little bit more.
