A couple? A couple. Were they just half ABBA? They were ABBA. The good ones? The ones or the shit ones? I don't know. They were just ABBA.

Because they must have had like a... Who was their bad spice? The brunette? Everybody was strong enough. I thought were they all strong? I thought they were all strong. They didn't have a Victoria Beckham? No. Pretending to sing?

to like about us. The legs. The legs. Okay. So my question was when we arrived I'm not going to say any names. Who did you go as? The Wiggles. Oh great. With a group. And I was the Red Wiggle. Lazy and easy, I'll say.

Lazy. Perfect. And you're just in like a long-sleeved shirt. That's great. Because you know, if you wear an uncomfortable costume, you put out. Did you wear the old G-Trek? Was it like one of those morph suits? No.

No. Also, who does the Wiggles at karaoke? No one. We did. It was easy. Hot Potato. Yeah, we did Hot Potato. Hot Potato, Hot Potato. Did the Hot Potato, Hot Potato. No one We did It was easy Hot potato Yeah we did hot potato Hot potato

So I will say There was somebody there An older lady Who Fuck Took a while For a reveal of a

A costume Okay And in the end Made made her grand entrance. Loves costume parties. Oh, okay. And went to, I will say, an amazing amount of effort. Everybody else there was obviously just like, whatever's going to be easiest.

Well, you'd rocked in with the bloody Wiggles tracksuits. A red skivvy and a black pair of jeans. Perfect. Don't tell me she's like Louis Armstrong or someone. No. Oh, God. Don't tell me she's Beyonce. I have seen a white person do a Louis Armstrong.

I saw an Asian person doing a Louis Armstrong on the internet. That meme you sent us was so outrageous. You're like, what's going on? It was like a Japanese game show thing. Starts with their eyes sort of thing. Yeah. Full blackface. Full blackface.

And it was not even that horrible. I see tree. And you're like, oh, no. That was us too. And you was not even that hard. I see tree, and you're like, oh no! That was us too! And you could tell he didn't speak English, he was just singing the words that he knew from listening to the song so many times. Oh yeah, for sure. Not any better. That was it. No, she

came out and I was like, oh my gosh, of course not knowing who she was dressed as. Oh no, I hate it when it's not clear. No, not clear. She had a stick with a skull on the end and like. Yeah. Little vials and stuff hanging off it from string. Okay.

Face paint. Yeah. And I was like, oh, wow. And then when she walked past, I was like, who was she dressed as? And someone's like Rafiki from the Lion King. Oh. And I said, where do we stand on that being okay? Wait, but Rafiki's a monkey.

He's a monkey, yes. Yeah, but Lion King the musical, where the actors are mostly black? Yeah, he's African. He's played by an African man most of the time. Okay, right. But it was confusing because Rafiki is a monkey. And she's white. She's white.

Had she? No, she hadn't black or brown faced. Okay. She did have some paint on her face to make her look a little bit like a monkey. Okay. But it was definitely, as she said, an artistic interpretation of Rafiki. Okay. Well, sounds like that's okay.

Until she sang the song. Oh. Oh, no. How did she sing the song? Like in an African-American accent. In an African-American accent. Oh, okay. Look, thinking of Rafiki,afiki is definitely a black essence totally the guy who voiced him and initially everybody else in the initial lion

king voicing was white white as they come white as snow but he was always played by an african yeah american actor uh and i'm i was like what lion King song are we going to get? Because Rafiki doesn't sing his own specific song. No, he just holds up the lion and does his own thing. What one? Don't do opening credits. Nazimania. Nazimania Babadichima. Oh, okay.

Full blown. From the day we arrive on this planet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. I mean, Elton John sung that. He did. I don't think he sang the choral parts at the start. I don't believe he. Jimenaya, at the start. I don't believe he...

Well, I mean, does she have a... Is this video going to get out? No. No, I don't think anybody wants to. She doesn't have a high-profile job. She's not going to be the Canadian Prime Minister one day. Well, then maybe it's... And maybe it's fine.

Maybe it's fine. Maybe it's fine. Is this fine? It's a fictitious character. I'm just going to go, is Rafiki black? The Little Mermaid changed race. Yeah. But is it a race-dependent aspect of the story? Look, I think it's just better to be safe than sorry these days.

Is he a monkey foremost? First and foremost, is he a monkey? Yeah. Or a black man. It's hard to tell it's really hard to tell I'm neutral on it but I'm not black

yep that's why I was like thank god I am just the white wiggle the wiggle I am I have only ever been a white man

that's why you can't go wrong was the Asian wiggle Asian intended to be but then not later on. But then the purple wiggle now is an Asian.

Yeah, no. There's been Lockie. Oh, of course. Who is the purple Asian. And then you go John, the heartthrob, the one the mums go crazy for. He's the purple wiggle now. He is the purple wiggle. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I follow him. Just for his child-friendly content. Not the abs? No, no, no, no, no. Not for his get ready with me when he comes out on his undies. Definitely not. Just because I love children and love children's entertainment. Just because I also love children's entertainment.

What's his username? Show me your purple wiggle. Give us a purple wiggle. Show me your purple wiggle with the blue tick. Not the other ones. Yes, yes, yes. The other guy is a poser. Well, yeah, don't blame me if you see some purple wiggles.
