Greg Page Unfiltered: The Laughs, The Lows, The Legacy

January 19, 2026·57 min·5 clips

Anthony Field tears up describing the traumatic moment Greg Page suffered a cardiac arrest on stage during a reunion show.

Simon starts with car sensors. His new app-rated driving turns into exactly the sort of ordinary opening Wiggle Talk likes before the episode moves into bigger memories. Lockie keeps the tone relaxed. The chat soon shifts to Greg Page, the original Yellow Wiggle, whose voice still gets a reaction. Anthony joins too, and the room settles into shared history without getting stiff about it. The best bits are small and specific. Anthony remembers growing up in Sydney's west and Murray correcting how he said certain things. Greg listens, laughs, and lets the story breathe. The conversation wanders through difference, correction, and the odd little details that stick after years of performing. Then Tidy Up comes up. Anthony admits he could never quite get behind the song, even though he liked plenty of songs Greg wrote. Greg explains that he and Jeff were trying to write from a parent's point of view after working with Jillian Easto. The song ended up feeling too didactic. Greg says it pushed children toward cleaning their rooms in a way that did not feel quite like the Wiggles. Anthony calls it pressure, and the joke works because it is also about what children were hearing. By the end, the old stories do not feel sealed off. The Wiggles are still recording, making content, performing live, and heading across the UK, the US, Canada, and Australia.

As heard by us

A warm Wiggles reunion with old stories, easy jokes, and long haul affection.

Greg Page sits at the center of a loose Wiggles reunion that starts with easy banter and then settles into older stories, corrections, and the songs that did not quite fit. The best stretches are the ones where Greg, Simon, Lockie, and Anthony let the history speak for itself.
