00:00Tonight, from across Australia and around the world, it's time to look back and unpack the week from the cheap seats with special guests, host of a great Australian bake-off, Tom Walker, and Tassie weather presenter, Peter Murphy.
00:16And now, here are your hosts, Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald.
00:24Welcome everyone in here and at home. Great to have you all with us.
00:28And it is great to welcome back Melanie Bracewell!
00:33It's great to have you back.
00:36Of course, Mel, Tristina did a great job filling in for you last couple of weeks.
00:39Yes, we've done a trade deal. I'll be hosting two weeks of Big Brother.
00:43I actually don't want to host the show, I just want to go to Dream World.
00:48Great to have you back. A lot's happening this week.
00:50What's been happening since I've been gone?
00:52Well, the world is ending tomorrow. See you just after 10.30 on Channel 10.
00:56Good to catch up, doesn't it?
00:59Good to catch up. Sadly, though, bad news in the world. The conflict rages on.
01:04Nicole Kidman loses the fight to save her marriage. Keith Urban reportedly ends it after 19 years.
01:10Okay.
01:11This is crazy.
01:12So first it was Hugh Jackman and Debra Lee Furness.
01:15Oh my...
01:16Now it's Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.
01:17Oh my... Someone check in on Rhonda and Gatut.
01:20Please.
01:20For my sake.
01:23I know.
01:24Well, thankfully, Nicole's moved on.
01:25I am so ready for her single woman era and I think she's going to kill it.
01:31She's moved on.
01:33The letter of the day was a letter from Keith's divorce lawyers.
01:38Okay, too soon.
01:40Too soon. Let's head overseas.
01:41King and country.
01:43Albo's audience with the king.
01:44The Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
01:47Very special episode of Travel Guides.
01:49This was...
01:50This is Anthony Alvarez, meaning King Charles at Balmoral Castle.
01:53Channel 9 sent senior reporter Andrew Proben to get close to the action.
01:57This is the closest we've been able to get to Balmoral.
02:01I will point out there are four people in the background significantly closer.
02:05I think that's Prince Andrew at the fence trying to get in.
02:11To be fair to Andrew Proben, last time they had an Andrew Proben around the royal family.
02:15Yeah, true.
02:16Yeah, it did.
02:17That is true.
02:18It did cause some issues.
02:19That is true.
02:19So what did Albo give the king?
02:21He gave him a photograph of himself and his fiancée and the king and queen together in a bamboo frame.
02:27What do you get the man that has everything?
02:30A photo of yourself in a bamboo frame.
02:33Hopefully with a receipt.
02:34Yes.
02:35Busy week for Anthony Albanese.
02:37He also met up with the UK Prime Minister.
02:39Anthony Albanese has caught up with the British Prime Minister over a four-pack of beer called Albo Pale Ale.
02:46Albo Pale Ale.
02:48Then they had a penny bong, which was pretty amazing.
02:51This is a lovely tradition for visiting Australian Prime Ministers.
02:54It started back when Robert Menzies bought a four-pack of cruisers to Winston, Georgia.
02:59Lovely touch.
03:00Well, Albo also had a big week at the UN.
03:02Yes.
03:03The Prime Minister's big pitch to put Australia at the centre of world affairs.
03:07This was this big moment addressing the UN General Assembly.
03:11Didn't get off to a great start.
03:12The people of our nations came together.
03:16And decided to walk out at the beginning of the speech.
03:19Even the guys behind them.
03:22One of them's already left.
03:25They were, in fairness, they were the Lebanese delegation.
03:27They were expecting Bob Catter.
03:29That's fair.
03:29That is fair.
03:32Bit of a mix-up.
03:34Well, he had plenty to say.
03:35This was Anthony Albanese's major address to the United Nations and his contribution to the General Assembly meeting here over the week.
03:45The response from Italy.
03:48Head in hand.
03:49Two of them are asleep.
03:51One's playing Italian wordle.
03:54It was a big week at the UN.
03:56Anthony Albanese spruiks the benefits of green tech on his final day at the UN.
04:01Is that green tech or a cod non-security tag?
04:03I don't know.
04:05There will be ink everywhere if he doesn't get that off.
04:08Well, it wasn't just Albo speaking.
04:10When the US president speaks, the world listens.
04:13Apart from you.
04:14You're not listening.
04:16Is that the press gallery or a sniper's nest?
04:19Yes.
04:20That was as close as Andrew could get to Balmoral Castle.
04:24So Donald Trump, he addressed the United Nations.
04:26And what do they talk about?
04:27Climate, migrants, Gaza, but also escalators, marble floors and teleprompters and, may I add, cows.
04:36You may.
04:37It was the biggest moment at the UN for Donald Trump.
04:40The escalator suddenly stops as soon as the president steps on.
04:45This was huge.
04:46Escalator gate.
04:47Trump and Melania got stuck on the escalator and he wasn't happy.
04:51In a lengthy 357 word post on True Social, Donald Trump recounted this harrowing experience.
05:00Harrowing experience.
05:03It turned into stairs.
05:04It's an escalator.
05:05Let's have a look at the statement.
05:07It's amazing that Melania and I didn't fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel
05:11steps face first.
05:12What are you talking about?
05:14The sharp edges of the steel steps.
05:15The sharp edges.
05:16The sharpest edges.
05:18It's an escalator.
05:19Dude, this was big news.
05:21Others went even further.
05:23This was remarkably dangerous.
05:24And if someone wanted to assassinate Trump, this would have been a great way to freeze
05:28him.
05:28To freeze him.
05:30He's not that mobile anyway.
05:34And yet, Melania missed her chance.
05:36Bad luck.
05:37This was such a big deal.
05:39They even did a forensic examination of the escalator.
05:44They're checking for orange fingerprints.
05:45So, of course, when it comes time to investigate escalators, it's time for...
05:55Yes.
05:59NCI escalator.
06:01Yes.
06:04Incredible.
06:06You can catch that show on Channel 10 in about 10 years when they start playing the reruns.
06:12What did they find?
06:14I see they're removing comb segments there.
06:17They're removing comb segments.
06:19Yes.
06:20What does that mean?
06:21Which tells me that particular elevator does have comb impact switches.
06:26Comb impact switches.
06:27I thought as much.
06:30What does that mean?
06:32So, it was installed after 1996.
06:34Okay.
06:35Okay.
06:35We've learned that this happened after 1996.
06:38But before 2025.
06:40What a huge investigation.
06:43And that was...
06:45NCI escalator.
06:47Moving on.
06:50And it's been a big week of achievement.
06:52So, it's time to say congratulations.
06:56Not to our graphics department, but...
06:57What is going on?
06:58To people around the world who've achieved some wonderful things this week.
07:02Where do we start?
07:03An Egyptian strong man has shown his iron jaw.
07:06No.
07:07Pulling a 635-ton boat with his teeth.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Wow.
07:12He then pulled the president and first lady up an escalator.
07:14So, it was an amazing achievement.
07:16I don't want to downplay his achievement, but it's in the water.
07:18I reckon...
07:19I reckon I could do it.
07:20You reckon you could...
07:20You reckon you could pull a boat with your teeth?
07:24Yeah.
07:24I've got big teeth.
07:26Well...
07:27Can we learn more?
07:28Funny story about Kvonga.
07:30He actually doesn't see the dentist or use a toothbrush.
07:34But he is flossing.
07:35So, that's good news.
07:37That's good.
07:37Let's press on.
07:38This is exciting.
07:39In the chess world, there's growing excitement about a rising star who's only 10 years old.
07:44Badana Sivanandan is so small, she needs a booster seat to see the board.
07:49She's the same one you use.
07:51That's great.
07:51Checkmate.
08:08Oh, yeah.
08:09Great to have you back.
08:11Gee, I've missed this.
08:13Finally, an incredible achievement.
08:14A Polish daredevil has pulled off an incredible world first.
08:19The first to climb, then ski down from Mount Everest's summit without an oxygen tank.
08:24It's just phenomenal.
08:24I don't know how we did it.
08:25And what made the climb even tougher?
08:27The escalator broke up after I thought it was.
08:29That was tough.
08:30Hey, we're going to take a break.
08:31Back with more of the team, Steve.
08:33Right after this.
08:44And we've got a great audience here in the studio as well, and they are loving every
08:52minute of it.
08:52Thank you so much.
08:53Every minute of this episode.
08:54Hey, speaking of audience, we are just a couple of days away from the Cheap Seats World
08:57Tour.
09:00It's just Thursday night at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.
09:04Just a handful of tickets that you can snap up still on Ticketmaster.
09:07Yes.
09:08Of course, the other big event this week.
09:10The main man again, Brisbane, go back-to-back.
09:15Congratulations to Brisbane, back-to-back Premiers.
09:17Massive game, and the build-up was enormous.
09:20It's been a pretty good sizzle so far, hasn't it?
09:22I reckon we're going to have a pretty good sausage today, so.
09:27The grand final, it's all about one thing.
09:31Yes.
09:31Thank you very much to Toyota.
09:33Thanks to Toyota.
09:34Toyota.
09:34Toyota Premiership Carbots.
09:35Toyota.
09:36The Toyota pregame show.
09:37You are watching the Toyota Grand Final Countdown.
09:40Thanks to Toyota.
09:41The Toyota Grand Final.
09:43Thanks to Toyota.
09:45Well, Channel 7 were even including the sponsor in their regular news coverage.
09:49It was fire-bombed at around 3 o'clock this morning at Toyota.
09:52A Toyota.
09:53What a feeling.
09:54I think that sausage is just a little bit burnt, I reckon.
09:57This is the biggest game of the year.
09:58The build-up was electric.
10:00No one gets the fans more excited than the legendary icon, Mike Brady.
10:04Who this week we found out is bilingual.
10:06Here we go, everybody.
10:071, 2, 4.
10:141, 2, 4.
10:16I need to renew that Duolingo subscription.
10:19Yes.
10:19He was singing his classic hit, Up There Caprese.
10:22Well done.
10:23Mike Brady, he sings Up There Cazalie every single year.
10:27This year I think he added a few extra lyrics, though.
10:29The footy brings hands down.
10:32I need to hear the track.
10:35Two, three, four.
10:37Up There Cazalie.
10:39He needed Albo's cotton on ear, though.
10:41I just don't even hear it.
10:43Even politicians were getting into the spirit.
10:45Liberal leader Susan Lee attended a grand final breakfast where she got to show off her
10:50stand-up comedy prowess.
10:52Just ask St Kilda.
10:54They've splashed the cash.
10:56You'd think they got a bigger credit card than Anthony Albanese.
11:00She has managed to achieve net zero laughs.
11:03So, well done, Susan.
11:06Not just the players, but a very special day for the fans as well.
11:09Support flooded in all the way from Brisbane.
11:11We want the Lions to know from Brisbane that we're all behind them.
11:19Looks like he could get recruited by Geelong.
11:22Yes.
11:22That's amazing.
11:23Exactly.
11:24Although nothing can match the dedication from these Cats fans.
11:27There, you've got Catwoman beside you as well.
11:30Thanks so much for being with us.
11:31Catwoman, we've got Catwoman, we've got Catnano, we've got Catgirl, Catchick.
11:36Of course we do.
11:39No!
11:41So much to unpack there.
11:43Looks like we've got Cat Burglar at the end there.
11:45It's unbelievable.
11:47Channel 7's Nick McCallum was not that impressed with Cats fans.
11:50Imitation has its limitations.
11:53Do you think that looks good on you?
11:56Whoa!
11:58Jeez!
11:59It's not Project Runway.
12:02In his defence, that's just Nick being funny.
12:04I tend to be funny from time to time.
12:07He was one of Susan Lee's ghostwriters.
12:11Yes.
12:11That's amazing.
12:12Look, the MCG was packed for the grand final.
12:15Exactly.
12:15And tickets were hard to come by.
12:16I don't care if I'm sitting outside watching it on big screen.
12:19It'll be fantastic.
12:20Yeah.
12:20That's very...
12:21Yeah.
12:21And they're also traumatising that sausage dog.
12:30Yes.
12:32To be fair, he heard about the sausage sizzle and was a little nervous.
12:34It was a pretty good sausage.
12:35It was a very good sausage.
12:36It was even tough for the commentary team of the game to get good seats.
12:40No, you're right, BT.
12:41And we saw that shot with De Koning in the first quarter.
12:44He hung it out at that right post and it just kept going.
12:47Did he have to get a ticket from a scalper?
12:49Like, what is going on?
12:51And that's the closest he could get to Balmoral Castle, by the way.
12:54Of course, pre-game we were treated to...
12:56Snoop Dogg on the grass.
12:58And he was also on the field as well.
13:02Snoop did a great job.
13:03He entertained everyone under the age of 55 and some were very excited at the idea of
13:09seeing Snoop.
13:09Are you ready to have a dance with Snoop Dogg later?
13:12Yeah, I am.
13:13If he wants to.
13:14Yeah.
13:14If you'd like to come up and ask us, yeah, we will.
13:21So we have the lions, the cats and the cougars.
13:24So that's incredible.
13:26Snoop's not the golden bachelor, ladies.
13:28Just calm down.
13:29And spare a thought for this Snoop Dogg fan during the week.
13:32We're just kicking it, bro.
13:33We're going to be back, baby.
13:35Sorry, I'm such a big Snoop fan from, like, the 90s.
13:39I hate to be this person, but that was his impersonator.
13:41That's not actually Snoop.
13:42No!
13:43No!
13:45The biggest fan.
13:47Yeah.
13:48Anyway, can we see the fake Snoop again?
13:50Anyway, well done to Chris Lilly.
13:51It's good to see him back on Ash Licks.
13:56Let's move on now.
13:57Let's head back to the game.
13:59Ultimately, it was a dominating performance by the Lions.
14:01Yes.
14:01Kneel to Ash Croft!
14:05That is unreal!
14:06Amazing.
14:07Back-to-back champions.
14:08Well done to the Lions.
14:09Because then, of course, came the medal presentation, starting with that traditional acknowledgement.
14:14As we commence our formal presentations, we firstly acknowledge and thank the AFL's premier
14:21partner, Toyota.
14:24From cars past and present.
14:25That was a beautiful welcome to Camry ceremony there.
14:31Followed, of course, by this lovely moment.
14:35I want to be just like you, man.
14:37Oh, thanks, I want to be like you.
14:38What a beautiful, authentic moment between a player and a deliberately mic'd-up child reciting
14:46some pre-written garbage.
14:50That's appalling.
14:52Well.
14:52Beautiful moment.
14:53It was beautiful.
14:54It was beautiful.
14:55Yes.
14:55It was exciting for Lions supporters.
14:57It was.
14:57But it wasn't an easy watch for everyone.
14:59How was the first half of the game?
15:01First half of the game, really fucking stressed.
15:04Really, really stressful.
15:05Honestly, really, really stressful.
15:07It's okay if they say that F word as long as they don't say Ford.
15:10Exactly.
15:11Exactly.
15:12Look, passionate Lions fans, they flock to the pubs.
15:15But tonight, there is going to be a very long night ahead for these guys, for the cup,
15:21and for the players as well.
15:22Do you guys want to take it away with the song?
15:25Do you guys want to take it away with the song?
15:30What's the song?
15:33What are they talking about?
15:34No, fans.
15:35No.
15:36Come on, guys.
15:37We'll give you a countdown.
15:38Uno.
15:43All right, now we've got to take a break.
15:44We'll be back with Mel Tresina after this.
15:58Thank you so much for that.
15:59We've been taking the next 30s.
16:01Currently heard across the country on Nova Breakfast.
16:03So let's say hello and wake up to the sleep-deprived Mel Tresina.
16:07Hello.
16:08Hello, Mel.
16:09Lovely to see you.
16:10Lovely to see you, Tim.
16:11Welcome back, Mel.
16:12I must say, it is hard to be sleep-deprived, though.
16:15When I'm on Kellogg's Nutri-Grain...
16:17Turn it around.
16:17...Nutri-Grain...
16:18Turn it around.
16:18Oh!
16:21I got one job.
16:23Yeah, and we're going to take it off you.
16:25Kellogg's Nutri-Grain High Protein Crunch Real Nourishment For Real.
16:29That's how it's done, my friend.
16:32Can I try again?
16:33Yeah, sure.
16:34Kellogg's Nutri-Grain High Protein Crunch Real Nourishment For Real.
16:38Wow.
16:41So it is great to have Kellogg's on board.
16:43Nutri-Grain, we are big fans of that.
16:44Absolutely.
16:45Big fans of UMT.
16:46Where do we start this week?
16:47Okay, let's start with what feels like an eternity now.
16:50The block continues on nine, and Shelley and Scotty are starting to become very subtle
16:54about their contractual sponsor plugs.
16:56It's a good-looking car, isn't it?
16:58It's 1,000 kilometres.
17:00Yes, without having to recharge or refuel.
17:02And do you know, if you go under 80 kilometres, like if you're riding around town, it charges
17:07it.
17:07So you could go a whole week of doing school pick-ups and run-around in your local suburb
17:11and you wouldn't have to charge it at all.
17:13Hey, guys.
17:13Hello.
17:16Shameless plugs.
17:17I'm just glad we don't do that kind of thing on this show.
17:27Delicious.
17:27This is actually delicious.
17:28Well, I think it is.
17:30I feel rich, Ed.
17:33I'm high on protein.
17:36We do have to do the rest of the segment.
17:39So, I'm glad we're just enjoying it.
17:41No, same, same, same.
17:42All right, let's move on.
17:43Just play the damn clip.
17:46In between MG marketing the blockheads were, of course, Head Down, Harder Work.
17:52Hang on, hang on.
17:53Yes!
17:54I got 15, 91.
17:56Turns out the two losers.
17:58What is going on?
18:00The losers were actually beheaded.
18:01It was Beheadroom Reveal Week.
18:05Good.
18:07Nice.
18:08It looks like a fun party game.
18:10I think it's there to, like, break up the stress of construction.
18:12We got to the ramp first and we filled the bucket with a lot of water.
18:16So, we would have got points.
18:18I think the whole thing's rigged.
18:19I don't think it's a piece of shit.
18:21No, we put it in the wrong bucket and then we broke the bucket.
18:23The bucket, it was not said that that was each team's bucket.
18:26We just made a mistake.
18:27We put it in the wrong bucket.
18:29That's on us.
18:30It's not rigged.
18:31So, just let that go.
18:33It's not rigged.
18:34What the fuck?
18:34This reminds me of at my nephew's birthday party and the pass the parcel, which was actually
18:39bullshit because the music never stopped.
18:41All right, settle down.
18:41Settle down.
18:43You brought back some bad memories.
18:44Okay.
18:45We've reached the battle rounds for The Voice on 7.
18:48What would I do to somebody who really cares?
18:57Not her.
18:58She doesn't care.
18:59She was more enthused with Albo's U-Win speech, which is amazing.
19:02So, MKR continues on 7.
19:04Let's see what magic they're cooking up.
19:24Oh.
19:25No hands.
19:34That's incredible.
19:36The real magic is how Kellogg's have managed to fit so much protein in such a delicious
19:39cereal.
19:40That's the real trick.
19:41How do they do it?
19:42Okay.
19:43What did fan favourite The Meat Master think of this magic-themed dinner?
19:47Harry Potter is my favourite book and I feel like I'm at Hogwarts right now.
19:51Harry Potter and The Meat Master is a fan fiction novel.
19:54Don't do it with that.
19:58Don't look at its chamber of secrets.
20:00Don't look at its chamber of secrets.
20:03Season 2 of Aussie Shore has landed on Paramount+.
20:06Katia has returned to the house and it's not just her excitement that she can't contain.
20:10Is that an outfit or has she wandered through a shark net?
20:26In the words of Nick McCullen, do you think that looks good on you?
20:32Tim was saying, can we see that again?
20:35No.
20:35No.
20:36No.
20:36No.
20:40I mean, we can if we want to.
20:45So, we're back in Cairns in the original house, but it has had some additions.
20:54Shit.
20:55Wow.
20:56That's not an entrance.
20:57Do you want to see that again, Tim?
20:58Same thing happened to Trump at the UN.
21:00Those are death traps.
21:01You've got to be very careful.
21:02We also met a new member of Aussie Shore, Francesco.
21:05He's a mama's boy.
21:06I'm super close with my mum.
21:09You know, she's been a part of my life.
21:11All my life.
21:15My mum's a real day one, literally.
21:19Yeah.
21:19So sweet.
21:20And Francesco, he's been like a son to her.
21:22Well done.
21:23And after partying hard, the boys heard that eating an onion would help with the hangover.
21:33That's not good.
21:35My mouth is fucking burning.
21:37Whose fucking dumb idea was that?
21:41Whose dumb idea was that?
21:46And that's my week in us and entertainment.
21:48And Cereal, would you please?
21:49Welcome back to the team, please.
22:04And it's Sally Brownie, it's Gist.
22:06With fresh new bakes.
22:07I can't believe we did that.
22:09Some four-legged friends.
22:12Cute.
22:14And one giant new host.
22:18How was it?
22:19Oh my God.
22:21We are so excited to welcome comedian and host of The Great Australian Bake Off, it's
22:24the giant Tom Walker.
22:28Wow.
22:29Hi Tom, thanks so much for coming on the show.
22:31Hello, thank you so much for having me.
22:33Hello.
22:33I'm having a wonderful time so far.
22:35Wow, you've just sat down.
22:38And it can only go up from here, Mel.
22:39Exactly.
22:40Okay, that's very exciting.
22:41Great to have you with us.
22:42The Great Australian Bake Off has just wrapped up.
22:44Congratulations on this series.
22:45You are the new host on the show.
22:47What was that experience like?
22:49It was great.
22:49It's my first job that has smelled good.
22:51Yeah, great.
22:52Oh, wow.
22:53Usually comedy clubs do not smell good.
22:55Yes.
22:55And then also, like retail, I was the reason those did not smell good.
22:59Yeah.
22:59But this, like, it's a big shed full of 12 ovens all making bread at the same time.
23:05Beautiful.
23:06Wonderful.
23:06This is very exciting, you hosting Bake Off.
23:08We have the promo image here.
23:10Oh, man.
23:11People, like, contact me saying, you look photoshopped in, and I have to say, that's just what I look like.
23:16And then your next promo image, you have committed to the exact same pose.
23:22Yeah.
23:22Actually, almost every host has committed to the same pose.
23:26If you go back, what is it?
23:29Do you have to commit to the same pose for every photo?
23:32Is that part of the contract?
23:33It's the one bad thing about coming into a show late after it's been established is all
23:37the good standings have already been taken.
23:39Yes.
23:40Yes.
23:40Darren has got the all fingers touching locked down.
23:44Rachel does teapot every single time.
23:46Right.
23:47Natalie needs room to stretch out, so I can't just, you know, freestyle it.
23:51I'm grabbing the back of the hand.
23:53Well, speaking of room to stretch out, by the third promo shot...
23:56She's barely in it.
23:57You're squeezing it.
23:58Yeah.
23:58You look when you say, can I just scooch through here, please?
24:00Sorry.
24:01I think the hand on leg there is the saddest thing I've ever seen.
24:06Yes.
24:07It's the posture that lets me know I meant to put that hand in a pocket and I missed.
24:14And then they took the photo.
24:17So this is the Great Australian Bake Off.
24:19You are the new host.
24:20The obvious question is, have you baked anything in your life before?
24:22You were a good cook in the kitchen.
24:24What's your signature dish?
24:25I used to bake with my mother as a boy.
24:27You know, I'd lick the bowl sometimes.
24:30Sometimes even the inside of the bowl if I'd been good.
24:37But, well, you are the perfect choice for this show.
24:42This is a little reveal for me.
24:43I actually auditioned to be the host of The Great Kiwi Bake Off.
24:47Did you really?
24:47And I had to go into, like, a random office and then, you know, they were to mime baking
24:53and I had to go, lovely meringue.
24:57They did this with me.
24:58They had Natalie pretend to be a baker.
25:00Yeah.
25:01And they were like, and let's give Natalie a profession.
25:03And, Tom, you're just going to go up there and ask what she's baking and then get a pun
25:07out about whatever she's working on.
25:08What was the scenario?
25:10It was that she was making a meringue of some sort and was a volunteer firefighter.
25:15And I think I would.
25:16Okay.
25:17Let's lock in our answers, everybody.
25:19Hoorang.
25:20Oh, my God.
25:20Volunteer firefighters.
25:22Okay.
25:22Tom Walker.
25:23With the pun that got in the job.
25:26Well, that looks hard.
25:27I wasn't an immediate in.
25:34You want to show some weakness so you've got somewhere to grow.
25:38I just keep thinking stiff peaks in my head, but that's got something.
25:42That's a meringue terminology.
25:43You would know that.
25:44It is.
25:45Well, you are a very knowledgeable host on The Great Australian Bake Off.
25:50I think it's left me with my belt slightly tight.
25:55I didn't know that you could put stuff in bread.
25:58I thought bread was bread flavoured.
26:01It's been a big week for Tom.
26:04Huge week.
26:05What a discovery.
26:06Yeah.
26:07What a learning.
26:07This is early on in the process.
26:09Bread week was, I think, the second week.
26:10And after that, I learned not to be so honest with what I thought about cakes and bread.
26:17Haven't you ever heard of raisin bread?
26:19Whoa.
26:20Wait.
26:21Raisins eat bread?
26:22OK, sorry, we'll come back to that.
26:23We'll come back to that.
26:25Look, baking is an intricate art form.
26:26Let's have a look at a contestant's work here.
26:31Hello, Wesley.
26:33Oh.
26:37It's really coming together, whatever it is.
26:39So, this is my flying trout.
26:50Of course, it's a flying trout.
26:53Obviously.
26:53What pun did you do there, Tom?
26:56I think it got edited out.
27:00That's when you bring up the stiff pics.
27:02Yes.
27:04You were telling us backstage that that was actually a beautiful backstory behind that penis
27:09shaped cake.
27:09There was, yes.
27:11That cake was actually devoted to the fishing trips that Wesley had done with his father.
27:15And that and being slightly behind schedule was maybe why he was not so open to me walking
27:20up and leering at it when it was at its most phallic.
27:24Which is a shame.
27:25The fishing trips.
27:26It's too small.
27:26Throw it back.
27:27It's a similar story.
27:30Now, you're not just a TV host and comedian and a bakery connoisseur.
27:34You're also a very popular Twitch streamer as well.
27:36For our audience who may not know, can you describe what Twitch streaming is all about?
27:40Twitch is a website where people stream themselves playing video games for maladapted introverts
27:46of various careers and ages.
27:49Shall we have a look at Tom in action?
27:50Yeah.
27:51It's amazing.
27:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
28:06Incredible.
28:06You did that without, without oxygen.
28:08That's amazing.
28:09That is amazing.
28:10Yeah.
28:11It is.
28:11That is incredible.
28:15You've done some wild things on Twitch.
28:17I remember, I like watching your Twitch and I tune in every now and again and sometimes
28:23I'll say hello and I remember last time I just saw you doing something, I can't even remember
28:26what it was but it was so strange and I said, what the hell are you doing?
28:30And you said, not all of us have cushy broadcast television jobs that we can lay back on.
28:36I just want to say, now you do.
28:38So I want you to take that back.
28:39Well, I would take it back but the jacket I'm wearing is part of a Mr Bean costume that
28:43I got for Twitch.
28:44So, some of us are here to stay and some of us are just passing through.
28:51So, Bake Off's wrapped up for another year, will you be back for the next season?
28:54Oh, I can't say, unless I can, in which case, yes.
29:01Just got a text here from the head of Binge with a slightly different answer.
29:05And that night we're going to take a break.
29:06The whole season of Bake Off is now available on Binge.
29:08Would you please thank Tom Walker?
29:14Welcome back to the Chief Seed.
29:24I'm excited to our next guest.
29:27Peter Murphy.
29:28Peter Murphy.
29:29Peter Murphy has been a nightly fixture.
29:31Let's check out what happened around the state today.
29:33Mate, I'm getting worse and worse as it goes along.
29:34I've been dribbling my beer all afternoon.
29:36Tell me, am I getting through?
29:38Thank you very much.
29:39We are so excited to welcome Tasmanian TV royalty, Peter Murphy.
29:47I've got to say, what happens in Tasmania should stay in Tasmania, I tell you.
29:51Thanks very much for having me.
29:53Thank you for joining us.
29:53I'm going to enjoy being had tonight.
29:55And I'm here in a real big city studio.
29:59I've been in the green room.
30:01Not your big green room, just the littler one.
30:02We don't have a big green room.
30:04There's biscuits, cheese, chocolates and Nutri-Grain.
30:08There's so much Nutri-Grain in there, it's unbelievable.
30:11And in here, more than one camera in a studio.
30:14Welcome.
30:15And the lights.
30:16This is amazing.
30:17They're not the best lights I've ever seen, but they're up there.
30:19All right.
30:19You can't come from Tasmania without a present.
30:25I don't know if you've got one of these each, but I've got a map of Tasmania for you both.
30:28Oh, wow.
30:29Amazing.
30:29Your own map of Tassie.
30:30Whoa.
30:31Oh, and also, I've also got from Brendan Gale, the CEO of the Tassie Devils, some honorary caps
30:38for you to support the team.
30:40Fantastic.
30:41Thank you, Matt.
30:42Even if it's just your second team.
30:44That is amazing, because Tim does tend to get sunburned even inside.
30:48Yes.
30:48So you'd better put that up.
30:49We are so thrilled to have you on our show, because you are one of our favourites here
30:53on the Cheap Seats.
30:55You've been reading the weather for 41 years.
30:57Yeah.
31:00Which makes you Australia's longest-serving commercial TV weather presenter.
31:06Yeah, you should see the business card.
31:07It's that long.
31:08Actually, it's pretty easy to be the television presenter for 41 years.
31:12You pick a job no-one else wants.
31:14I didn't have to do an audition like poor Tom did.
31:16Yeah.
31:16And you pick a subject matter that's really easy.
31:19Tasmanian weather.
31:20We only have two seasons.
31:21Really?
31:21There's winter and January.
31:24Okay, great.
31:25It's easy.
31:26Well, we love you.
31:27We've played a lot of you on our show.
31:29Yeah, thanks.
31:29Well, we love your jokes with the weather, and I think we love them more than your colleagues
31:37do.
31:37Kim, I did buy two dozen oysters to share with you tonight, but I ate them all.
31:42Yes, I know.
31:42I'm very shellfish.
31:44Oh, spare me.
31:46Good night, Murph.
31:46Wow.
31:48Good night.
31:49I should have clammed up right after that one.
31:51There we go.
31:52When we tell a joke, we get a nice, polite laugh from each other.
31:55You get a spare me from your host.
31:58That is Kim Miller, your great friend, whose reactions range from exhaustion to downright
32:03disgust.
32:03Actually, I've picked up a new book to read.
32:05It's called Anti-Gravity.
32:07I can't put it down.
32:09Oh, that is appalling, Murph.
32:13That's brutal.
32:14You'd wish they'd speak their mind, wouldn't you?
32:15Yeah, exactly.
32:17She's a news reporter.
32:18She has to report on horrible things happening all around the world, but the worst thing she
32:23can imagine is you doing a pun.
32:24Exactly.
32:25Appalling.
32:25Appalling, appalling.
32:26Appalling, appalling.
32:27It's not even just Kim Miller.
32:28The whole newsroom enjoyed them.
32:30It's National Science Week, and around here today I told a chemistry joke, but there was
32:34no reaction.
32:36Give me strength.
32:37Give me strength.
32:38Yeah, they cut the bit out where I actually said that I was donating my body to science.
32:43Oh, were you really?
32:44Yeah, science refused.
32:45Oh, okay.
32:47Mind you, my favourite is your former colleague, Joe Palmer, who's now a minister in the Tasmanian
32:51Government.
32:51Minister for Education.
32:53Fair to say, she had had more than enough of you.
32:55Well, dark mofos happening, Joe.
32:57They're digging a hole in Macquarie Street, putting a bloke in, putting the bitumen on.
33:01Three days later, they're going to take the bitumen off, dig him out.
33:04And I've had a pothole in my street for eight months.
33:06Can't get it fixed.
33:06I was thinking we could put you in the hole.
33:11Thank you very much.
33:12Thank you very much.
33:13That's unbelievable.
33:14I can't believe she would say things like that.
33:16Yes.
33:17When I was personally responsible for her being elected in the first place.
33:20Exactly.
33:21Look at that.
33:21I think I can see the pothole on the map.
33:23That's actually quite good.
33:25This is what we like, because we watch news bulletins across the country, and most of the
33:28weather banter is pleasant, it's amicable, it's charming.
33:31Rarely do we see a newsreader wishing for the murder of the weather presenter.
33:35That's what we love.
33:36So 41 years on our screens, where did it all begin?
33:39Well, 41 years and 12 days, Tim.
33:41It began in northwestern New South Wales at a town called Moree.
33:45We worked in Wagga.
33:46And then in 1984, I was transported to Tasmania, as a lot of people have done in the past.
33:51And from 1984 until now, I've been on the bottom rung of the television ladder.
33:55Unlike your stellar careers.
33:57Well, I was going to say, you didn't think you could stoop any lower, did you, Murph?
34:00And now you're on the cheap seats.
34:02We've got a shot of you in action here.
34:03There we are there.
34:04Whoa.
34:05Is that current?
34:06Oh, no, that's just like your map of Tassie.
34:09It's got a magnet on the back.
34:10All those magnets sat on the magnetic board.
34:13The big word tomorrow, or strong wind warning, if it was there, they would drop off because
34:17they were too heavy for the magnets.
34:18Because the magnet was too heavy.
34:19That's so funny.
34:20Yeah, that's technology for you.
34:21Just got a note from the control room.
34:22Could you stop saying the phrase, map of Tassie?
34:26I don't understand.
34:28Over the years, your look has changed.
34:32You used to present the weather with a sort of a nice image in the background.
34:36And there they are there at the beach.
34:38Yeah, well, I hope you're not going to play the one where there was a very large buxom lady
34:42wandering past.
34:43Oh, right.
34:43And at the exact same time, it was by accident, I said we were looking forward to a large front
34:48coming through.
34:49And, um, yeah, those sort of things happen.
34:53You just don't know what happens.
34:55We don't have that.
34:57We'll put that on our OnlyFans page.
35:00Buxom woman.
35:01You make it sound so charming.
35:05Vote from the control room.
35:06Could you stop saying the phrase, buxom woman?
35:08You even had a special helper one night.
35:10Oh, yes.
35:11This is Charlie Murphy, who doesn't like the wet or the wind.
35:14Do you, girly?
35:15You don't like it, do you?
35:16You're stinky.
35:17Shhh.
35:18How about 15 degrees?
35:19One system of 13 degrees altogether.
35:22Is Charlie still with us?
35:24No, Charlie is not with us.
35:25Just old age.
35:27Unlike Kim Miller's dog.
35:29Yes.
35:29I had the horrible tumour of the nose.
35:31I had the nose cut off.
35:32How did he smell?
35:32Terrible.
35:33Oh, that is appalling, Bert.
35:42Sadly, for us and for Tasmania, you've decided to retire after 41 years.
35:46Well, I've been threatening to retire for years.
35:48Well, they said at work I was promising to retire, but I've threatened and it's time to
35:52go.
35:53The puns have run out.
35:54But you did say you've got a quest in your retirement.
35:56I do have a quest.
35:57Don and my wife and I are travelling around Australia in our Toyota and we're searching
36:03for Mr Albanese.
36:05Oh, the Prime Minister.
36:06Yeah, 1982 Commonwealth Games, no map of Tasmania at the opening ceremony.
36:11Same happened in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
36:13They had swimsuits, had an emu and a kangaroo where the map of Tassie should have been.
36:17And when they put the Australia Day stuff out, it's hardly ever a map of Tasmania.
36:22I'm going to search out and find our Prime Minister to see if he can formally recognise
36:27the state of Tasmania.
36:34He's never actually in the country, so when he gets back, we've got time for one more
36:40of Murph's forecasts and I think this is where we knew that maybe the end was near.
36:44Big day today, Kim, in news, sport and weather, I am exhausted.
36:48Well, that weather, it was a whole minute.
36:50Don't know how you do it, Murph.
36:53They don't understand.
36:55They don't understand.
36:56They don't understand that the weather is out there 24 hours a day.
36:59And that's the preparation you have to do for that two minutes.
37:02And she's sitting down the whole time and the weather presenter's got to stand up.
37:06That's tough.
37:07It's extremely tough.
37:09And that's why you're both sitting down.
37:10Well, we do need to say thank you, Murph, because you've been a strong supporter of
37:14us over the five years.
37:16Thank you very much for making us very famous, for being infamous, but I would say to you
37:21just the same, may all your clouds have silver linings.
37:24That is absolutely beautiful.
37:26That's amazing.
37:26And we would love to come to Tasmania, but unfortunately we can't find out on a map anyway.
37:30Yes.
37:32Good luck.
37:34Hey, Murph, thank you for one minute a day for 41 News.
37:37You provided so much joy to Tasmania.
37:39You're an icon down there and you are beloved here on the mainland as well.
37:42Ladies and gentlemen, would you please take the wonderful Peter Murphy.
37:57Let's take a look through the lens at the images of the week.
38:01Let's head to Austria.
38:03This is a stunning image.
38:04Ten years into retirement, Peter Murphy tries out a new look.
38:08It's amazing.
38:10Filming's underway on the Mr Pringles biopic.
38:13We head to Italy now where a model is wearing a creation from the Moschino Women's Spring
38:19Summer Collection.
38:20Oh my God, what a mistake.
38:21Meanwhile at home her husband is cooking a risotto in a handbag.
38:24So, it's really, really confusing.
38:29We move on now.
38:31And in the old days before Tinder, what would happen is that...
38:34No, this is Costa Rica.
38:37No, this is an extremely difficult version of Guess Who, I think.
38:41We head to the front line here.
38:45Oh my God, finally an airplane that Tim can ride in.
38:47And finally, the two finalists in the New Zealand Bachelorette go head to head.
38:57I downloaded this image after the tech support guy said I needed more RAM.
39:03Oh, give me strength.
39:05Those were the images of the week.
39:09Wow.
39:10Beautiful.
39:11Wow.
39:12Beautiful.
39:13Rock and back.
39:14It's time now for...
39:17This is where we honour reporters who go above and beyond news presenters.
39:24Yes, this week the honour goes to Scotty Morrison.
39:27Sorry?
39:28Not that one.
39:29Oh, right.
39:30This is a different Scott Morrison.
39:31Right.
39:31This is in New Zealand.
39:32He's the host of Te Karere, which is a Māori news and current affairs show on TVNZ.
39:37And I just love the way he signs off his news reports.
39:40Iokuto.
39:41Haiya popoe, kare maa tūrou, parea tūrou, hawaiki.
39:45Beautiful.
39:47Takes a moment to shoot a three.
39:48Whoa.
39:49Amazing.
39:50We don't see that every day.
39:51It is amazing.
39:52Scotty signs off his broadcast with something different every time.
39:55I love it.
39:56Let's take a look at some of the best ones.
39:58He's sweeping the studio.
40:02Doing some housework.
40:03There, he's, I think, bowling a strike.
40:06What?
40:06I think that's the underarm bowl.
40:09What's he doing here?
40:10Sticking with the sporting theme.
40:11A bit of table tennis.
40:14I mean, of course, after an amazing rally, he wins the point.
40:18Then, I think he's just going to walk off this one.
40:20That's quite nice.
40:21Oh, no, he's crawling.
40:22He's crawling.
40:23He's crawling.
40:24He's crawling.
40:25Oh, my God.
40:26But my favourite is this one, where his athletic prowess shows for us.
40:32Amazing.
40:33That was huge.
40:34Congratulations, Scotty Morrison.
40:38Well, in New Zealand, he's got a bit of extra time because there is nothing happening in
40:42New Zealand news.
40:44Congratulations, Scotty Morrison.
40:45You are our own.
40:49Recorder.
40:50Unbelievable.
40:51Territory.
40:52A big thank you to Peter Murphy, Tom Walker, and Mel Tresena.
40:56We'll see you next time.
40:57Ryan and the Chiefs makes.
