FunTranscript
00:00Go to work for this incredible $20,000 jackpot.
00:04I'm Todd Woodbridge. Let's play Tipping Point.
00:26Hello and welcome to Tipping Point,
00:28where three contestants are ready to take on the machine,
00:30so let's meet them.
00:32I'm Sean. I'm a videographer and filmmaker from Winterna,
00:36and if I win the jackpot,
00:37I'd like to make another film with my brother.
00:39Hi, I'm Sharon, a root-former studio owner from Melbourne.
00:44I'm known as the Smarling Assassin,
00:47and I can crush a watermelon with my thighs.
00:51Hi, I'm John, a multi-instrumentalist and composer from Epping,
00:55and if I win the jackpot,
00:56I would love to buy a brand-new grand piano.
00:58That sounds nice, John.
01:00Tell us a little bit about your music, John.
01:02Buying a grand piano, they're not cheap.
01:03No, I need an upgrade.
01:05I'm finishing my fine music degree
01:07at the Conservatorium here in Melbourne.
01:08So how much are we looking at for the upgrade?
01:11You know, look, if I go straight brand-new,
01:13I mean, it's six figures.
01:14Better play well today then, John.
01:15I'm not planning to.
01:17Sharon, I'm so sorry,
01:18but did you say you can crush a watermelon with your thighs?
01:21Yep, it's a party trick.
01:23Oh, it's a damn good party trick, that one.
01:27And how did it come about that you've worked out
01:29you could crush watermelon like that?
01:30Well, because I teach reformer Pilates,
01:33I obviously train my legs quite hard.
01:36Yeah.
01:36I just thought you need watermelon to go with your cocktails.
01:41Yes.
01:41So, why not crush it?
01:44Guess what?
01:45You have one handy.
01:48No, I wouldn't have made you do that on television.
01:51Great to have you on, Sharon.
01:52And, Sean, you said another movie.
01:54Tell us about the first one.
01:55My brother and I made a couple of short films.
01:57We made one back in 2019,
01:59and we've just filmed our next short film.
02:02So we're trying to push that through to post-production
02:04and try to get it onto the festival circuit as well.
02:06OK, well, good luck with that.
02:07Let's get the game underway.
02:08We're going to play round one, Bank Builder.
02:11All right, Bank Builder's your chance to make some serious cash
02:18because every counter that you push over at Tipping Point,
02:21we're going to put $100 into your bank.
02:23And in the round, you'll each start with three counters,
02:25and if you buzz in and answer correctly,
02:27you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine
02:29or you could ask one of your opponents
02:31to play one of their counters instead.
02:33If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds,
02:36you have to take that counter away from you.
02:39Now, in the machine, you'll see the two double counters.
02:41Push those over to double the value of your drop,
02:43along with the two mystery counters,
02:45which I can promise you they won't hold a grand piano,
02:47but it'll be a pretty good prize indeed.
02:50Hands on buzzers, then.
02:51Here comes the first question.
02:53After being postponed,
02:54the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were held in which year?
02:57John?
02:592021.
03:0021.
03:00Correct.
03:00Yes, well done.
03:02Well done.
03:02Quick on the buzzer.
03:04Do you take the first counter into the machine?
03:06I might try a little bit of strategy,
03:07and I think I might hand it off.
03:09To who, then?
03:10You never know what else Sharon can crush.
03:12Yeah.
03:14Let's give it to Sharon, then.
03:15Oh, I didn't mean it like that, Sharon.
03:18You ready to play?
03:19I just wanted to be able to press the buzzer today.
03:21Well, here's your big chance.
03:23What drop zone?
03:24Three's my lucky number.
03:26Light it up, then.
03:30First drop of the day.
03:35Lines up nicely with the silver row, Sharon.
03:38Okay.
03:39Yep.
03:39Oh, okay.
03:43Oh!
03:44Oh!
03:45Some money for you as well.
03:47Yeah, you're welcome.
03:48Lucky drop zone, number three.
03:50Yes.
03:50And it gave you three.
03:51So $300 gets us started.
03:53So $300 goes into the machine.
03:55Put that into your bank, Sharon.
03:56Good.
03:56You're in the lead.
03:57Well done.
03:58Photo for you.
04:01Moving on to the second question.
04:03Which international singing competition
04:04is famed for the phrases
04:06Deux Poix and...
04:08Sharon?
04:09Eurovision.
04:09It is Eurovision.
04:10And good evening, Europe.
04:13All right.
04:14Are you going to play, or...?
04:15Yeah, number three, please.
04:16All right, light it up again.
04:21Yeah, another good drop.
04:26It's going to line up again
04:27with that silver row on the other side.
04:30Yeah, there you go.
04:34Oh!
04:35Oh!
04:37Oh, jeez.
04:38Sharon, off to a fire.
04:40Four this time, so $400 goes into the machine.
04:43Let's take it out there.
04:43Put that in the bank.
04:44$700 with a single counter left, Sharon.
04:47Excellent.
04:48Machine.
04:48You're playing out early today.
04:50The next question.
04:51Located in the Northern Territory,
04:53Car Hills Crossing is a famous spot
04:55for viewing what large reptiles?
04:58John?
04:59Goanna?
05:00Crocodiles.
05:01Yes, it is.
05:02John, I've got to take a counter away from you.
05:04Never mind.
05:05Plenty of time.
05:06Plenty of counters still sitting on the edge
05:08of the tipping point for you.
05:09All right.
05:09Next question.
05:11Skynet.
05:11Is it a fictional or artificial...
05:13Terminator?
05:14Yes.
05:15Wow.
05:15Gee, that was great.
05:16Let me finish the question for our viewers at home.
05:18Skynet is a fictional artificial intelligence system
05:21in which Arnold Schwarzenegger film franchise?
05:23You got it, Sean.
05:24Well played.
05:25First counter.
05:26You going to put it in?
05:27Yeah, I think Zone 3 still looks pretty appetizing.
05:29Okay, light it up.
05:30First opportunity for Sean.
05:37Yep.
05:38Should be okay.
05:39It'll hustle over to the ride a little, Sean.
05:41There it goes.
05:42Oh, okay.
05:45I thought it was going to go hiding.
05:52Good work.
05:52That's four to get you started, Sean.
05:54$400 is coming your way.
05:56Put it into your bank.
05:58With two counters left to play,
05:59you're only three behind Sharon.
06:01So, Sean and John,
06:03you've both got two counters left to play.
06:04Sharon, you've got one left.
06:06In which stage musical
06:08do the children say goodnight
06:09to party guests by singing the song...
06:11John?
06:12Sound of music.
06:13Yes, so long farewell.
06:16Woo, he says.
06:18All right.
06:18Come on, you need some money.
06:19What are you going to do?
06:20I do.
06:20Let's go drop Zone 4.
06:21Light it up, please.
06:22Okay.
06:31That's a good posse.
06:31All right, come on.
06:34Come on.
06:36Okay.
06:37Good.
06:37Flat.
06:37We like that.
06:41It's going to come on down.
06:42They should go to slide down that wall.
06:44There we go.
06:45There you go.
06:46Clean out that corner a little bit.
06:49Oh!
06:50Come on.
06:51Went in there,
06:52shoveled and spun around,
06:54and nothing coming off the top shelf for you.
06:56So, John,
06:57you've got one left,
06:58along with Sharon.
06:59Sean's got two.
06:59You're not that far behind, though.
07:01You can still do well with a single counter.
07:03Moving on to the next question.
07:05What word means both a curved structure
07:07and the natural bend
07:08at the bottom of the human foot?
07:11John.
07:11Arch.
07:12That's it.
07:12Yes.
07:14All right, let's go back to number 4.
07:16Let's light it up, please, Todd.
07:17Light it up.
07:18Ooh.
07:26Okay.
07:28That was a heavy one.
07:29Yeah.
07:30Oh.
07:31Oh, come on.
07:33Not doing it for you, John.
07:35John, we're all out of counter,
07:37so you have to sit back
07:37and hope that Sean and Sharon
07:39don't get too far ahead of you here.
07:41Sharon's got a single counter, Sean.
07:42You've still got two left to play
07:44as we move on.
07:45Simon Helberg first appeared
07:47as Engineer Howard Wolowitz.
07:49Sean.
07:50The Big Bang Theory.
07:51Yes.
07:51In which long-running Americans hit Kong.
07:55Okay.
07:56Sean.
07:57I hate to be that guy,
07:58but I think I've got to go for a drop zone for it.
08:00You probably need to be that guy.
08:01I'm going to light it up.
08:02Before they become an ambient drop.
08:10Yep.
08:11Ooh, okay.
08:12That's okay.
08:13It lines up well.
08:15Dance Your Cards.
08:17Yes.
08:20Hey.
08:23So, three for you, Sean.
08:25$300 goes up.
08:27And when we take it back out
08:28and put it into your bank,
08:28you will now be tied with Sharon
08:30with $700.
08:33Tight game.
08:34Final two questions.
08:36In 1971,
08:37the first Hard Rock Cafe
08:38opened in which English city?
08:40Sean.
08:41London.
08:41Yes.
08:42Good guess.
08:42Had to be, right?
08:45Yep.
08:45I think we're going to just keep riding
08:46on zone four for now.
08:47Okay.
08:47Let's light it up.
08:56Ooh.
08:57That's a pretty good spot.
08:58You might get the mystery down.
08:59Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:01Yes.
09:03Come on.
09:05Oh.
09:06No way.
09:07No way.
09:08Okay.
09:09Well, you need to sit back.
09:10Yep.
09:11You're out.
09:12Sharon, final question's yours.
09:13All right.
09:14No need to buzz in.
09:15Oh.
09:15But you've got three seconds to answer
09:17and you must give me an answer.
09:18Okay.
09:19Last question of the round.
09:19Yep.
09:20The name of what meal of the day
09:22most commonly follows the term
09:23full English?
09:25Breakfast.
09:26Yes, it is.
09:27Great way to start.
09:29Not great for your cholesterol,
09:30but it's good.
09:32What do you want to do?
09:33Light up.
09:33Number four.
09:34Oh, sorry.
09:34It's just going back there.
09:35Light her up.
09:36Sorry.
09:36No, no, it's fine.
09:37It's yours to clean up, Sharon.
09:40Okay.
09:40Come, baby.
09:44Ooh.
09:45Ooh, it's a bit heavy.
09:46It'll be okay.
09:48Oh, oh, there you go.
09:50There you go.
09:51Yeah.
09:51The mystery.
09:52Oh.
09:52Oh.
09:53Oh.
09:55Defined gravity is that mystery counter
09:57on the tipping point.
09:59But, Sharon, you did get a couple over.
10:01It's an extra two.
10:02And it's going to put you back in the lead
10:04when we put that into your bank.
10:05You'll have $900.
10:07And so, at the end of our bank builder round,
10:10Sean's got $700.
10:11Sharon has $900.
10:12And, John, you've got a lot of work to do
10:15in quick fire.
10:16And quick fire is coming up next
10:17on Tipping Point.
10:18Stay with us.
10:25Welcome back to Tipping Point.
10:32Sean, Sharon and John are battling it out
10:34for the chance to play for our jackpot.
10:36It's worth $20,000.
10:38So, we'll keep the game moving along swiftly
10:39and we'll play quick fire.
10:45All right.
10:46In quick fire, you'll each have 30 seconds
10:48to answer as many questions as possible.
10:50For every correct answer,
10:51I give you a counter to play in the machine.
10:53Now, every counter is important
10:54because the player with the lowest score
10:55at the end of this round,
10:56we have to say goodbye to.
10:59Sharon, that means you with the lead
11:01have the option of playing first if you like.
11:03I think I'll go first.
11:04All right.
11:05Good luck.
11:07No need to buzz in.

11:49Yes, and you can hear there was a crash
11:52in the middle of our quickfire there.
11:54They are out of play.
11:55We'll take those out of the machine.
11:57But unfortunately, I can't take any money
11:58out of the machine for you, Sharon.
12:00No.
12:00So you're going to have to sit back with 900.

13:23There's still plenty of room there.

13:26But...
13:26See, because Schwarzenegger
13:28was the related question

14:18I'm actually going to go
14:19drop zone one.
14:21Light up one.
14:28Yeah, well placed.

14:33Don't go to the right, though.

14:42There's a heap there
14:43that are ready to fall.
14:46So let's do this.
14:47400.

16:07so that should get
16:08something off the top shelf.
16:11Oh, there you go.
16:13And then they spread out
16:14as well.
16:17Go!
16:18Win the game.
16:19There we go.
16:20Woo!
16:21Sorry.

16:31It's high stakes time.
16:32Let's do this.
16:33But you've got four more,
16:33chances.
16:34That's true.
16:35Let's go with drop zone two.
16:36Let's light it up.
16:37Okay, two it is this time.
16:49Is there enough room?
16:52Oh, okay.

17:17Yeah.

17:22Oh!

17:28so that makes 900.
17:30You two are tied.
17:31All right.
17:32One more gets you through,
17:33and anything after that,
17:34you tie and you're all in the lead.
17:35Bonus.
17:36Two more to play.

17:40All right.
17:49All right.

17:51It might slip in between two.
17:54No.
17:54Okay.
17:55Oh, come on.
17:55This is the mystery.
17:56The one.
17:57Oh.

18:04gives you $400.
18:06Huh.
18:07That's $1,300,
18:09and we've still got a counter to play.
18:10Oh, yeah.
18:11But you got yourself a mystery.

18:27Oh, cool.
18:29I forgot about the mystery.
18:30Yeah.
18:31Too focused.
18:32What are you looking?
18:33Right.
18:33So you've got a two-counter lead now
18:35over, Sean,
18:35and you have one more opportunity
18:37to see if you can find
18:38some more money for yourself.
18:39Excellent.
18:40I'm hearing a lot of threes.
18:42Let's try lighting up
18:43the drop zone three, please.
18:44Listen to the audience.
18:45Three.
18:54Gee, that's going to go
18:54tantalizingly close
18:56to a second mystery counter.
18:58Deal?
19:00Let's see.
19:01Oh.
19:01Come on.
19:02Oh.
19:04Okay.
19:05That's fine.
19:06Well, well, well.
19:07What a round that was
19:09says, I take $1,300
19:10from the machine
19:11and put that into your bank,
19:12John.
19:13I'll take it.
19:14At the end of it all,
19:17$1,300 is enough
19:18to see you into the league.
19:19Sean's got $1,100
19:21and Sharon,
19:22as well as you played early on,
19:23unfortunately,
19:24we've found your tipping points.
19:29Wow.
19:29It was great having you on.
19:32Have you enjoyed yourself?
19:32I picked too early.
19:33Yeah, just a little bit.
19:34I did get to press the buzzer.
19:36Yes.
19:36Which is what I wanted to do.
19:37I would say that you crushed it early.
19:39I did.
19:42And that means that,
19:43Sean and John,
19:44this is going to be fun.
19:45You two are going to be playing
19:46for our $20,000 jackpot.
19:48Which one will go through?
19:49To find out,
19:50you'll have to stick around with us
19:51right here on Tipping Points.
19:52Welcome back, everyone.
20:04I'm looking forward to this
20:05because Sean and John
20:06are about to go head-to-head.
20:08It's been quite the comeback from John.
20:09Now, before we get going, though,
20:11Sean,
20:12you mentioned your mum,
20:13Libby.
20:13Hello, Libby.
20:14Hello.
20:15How are you?
20:15Good.
20:16How's your boy doing?
20:17He's doing really well.
20:18He is doing well.
20:19I need to ask the question,
20:20where did he get the accent from?
20:22Oh, who knows?
20:23Who knows?
20:24My theory is that
20:25when I was a kid,
20:26I used to love watching
20:27Back to the Future and Friends.
20:29It got to the point
20:30that my parents were trying
20:31to hide the tapes from me.
20:32I think my brain was just like,
20:34hey, my dad sounds like
20:35those people on the screen.
20:36I want to sound like that.
20:38Fantastic.
20:39Now, Libby,
20:39you must be proud of
20:40both of your boys.
20:41What's your other son's name?
20:42So, the other filmmaker
20:44is Daniel.
20:45Daniel.
20:45OK.
20:46I wanted to ask you
20:47a little bit more
20:47about you and Daniel,
20:48in particular because I know
20:49he's got a bit of a health issue
20:51and you two have worked together
20:52to make short films.
20:54My brother has
20:54McEwen-Albright syndrome,
20:56which basically means
20:56that his bones break very easily.
20:58Right.
20:58We both ended up studying film
20:59and it was just kind of
21:01a logical step for us
21:01to want to make films together.
21:03Great.
21:03So, we made one in 2019.
21:06What was the subject matter?
21:07An extraterrestrial object
21:08appears in the sky
21:09and it starts giving people
21:11dreams of the afterlife
21:12and it's all about people
21:13trying to adapt
21:13to this new sense of normal.
21:15Cool.
21:15Wow.
21:15OK, that's deep.
21:17And, John,
21:18tell us a little bit
21:19about your music
21:19because you talked
21:20about heavy metal
21:21but then there is classical
21:22because you play piano.
21:24Yes.
21:24I've been making music
21:25since I was about
21:27five, six years old.
21:28Drums is my primary instrument
21:29but obviously I'm doing
21:31a degree in piano
21:32at the Melbourne Conservatorium
21:33right now
21:34and I also play drums
21:35in a progressive metal band
21:36called Seas of Titan.
21:38Yep.
21:38We're pretty cool.
21:39No one's told us
21:40we suck to our faces yet.
21:41OK, good.
21:42Good.
21:42Well, let's get on
21:44with the game
21:44as you get set
21:45to go head-to-head.
21:51All right.
21:52In the head-to-head round
21:53you'll each have two questions.
21:55If you get your question correct
21:56you get the counter
21:56to play in the machine.
21:57If you get it wrong
21:58then your opponent steals it.
22:00If you're unsure
22:00you could pass it
22:02to your opponent
22:02in the hope that
22:03they get it incorrect
22:03and then you'll hang on
22:04to your counter.
22:05So, John,
22:06you've got the lead by two.
22:07It gives you the option
22:08of playing first.
22:09Yes, I would like
22:09to play first, please.
22:10Right-o.
22:11Then let's do it.
22:12The opening question
22:16of head-to-head.
22:17Which Australian
22:18capital city
22:18is also referred to
22:20as Narm?
22:21Pass or play?
22:22Oh, I'm sorry.
22:23Oh, no, it's too late.
22:24Don't be sorry.
22:25You played.
22:25Yeah, well, play.
22:27Is it Melbourne?
22:32I'm just so excited.
22:34Dramatic.
22:35Let's get some more
22:36counters in there
22:37and see what happens.
22:38Let's light up
22:38drop zone three, please.
22:40OK, three.
22:41A bit of a 50-50 here.
22:44Left-hand side is good.
22:46Right-hand side
22:46is not so good.
22:49And that's the good side.
22:51Oh, there you go.
22:52All right, come on.
22:55All right, come on.
22:56Oh, there you go.
22:57If I could whistle,
23:05it'd be music to your ears, John.
23:07Nine over the tipping point.
23:10900 goes in,
23:11add it to your bank,
23:12and now you've got 2,200.
23:15Woo!
23:15Like, boom.
23:16Sean, that was like
23:19two symbols crashing for you,
23:20wasn't it?
23:21It was something.
23:22There is still enough there, though.
23:24You're 11 behind.
23:25You need as many counters here
23:26of the last three
23:27that are available.
23:28Yeah.
23:30Lasting just 15 minutes,
23:31the first Academy Awards ceremony
23:33was held in which decade?
23:35Pass or play?
23:35Um, I'll play.
23:38I'm going to say
23:39it was the 1930s.
23:431930s.
23:44Let's find out
23:45if that's correct.
23:46Is it the 1930s?
23:50Ah.
23:51Oh.
23:52One too many.
23:53It was the 20s.
23:54Ah.
23:54Ooh.
23:55John.
23:56Yes.
23:56Goals again.
23:57Oh, yeah.
23:58Great.
23:58Yeah.
23:59Um,
24:00three's been pretty good to me,
24:01so if we can stick to the right,
24:03let's light up drop zone three.
24:04Okay.
24:05It's all right.
24:14It's fine.
24:15I wonder what it will do.
24:17There you go.
24:17It's all right.
24:19We're good.
24:20You're liking it.
24:22Okay.
24:23Okay.
24:24Okay.
24:24It's all right.
24:24It's kept the door ajar for you, Sean.
24:26You're 11 behind.
24:28We'll find out after the break
24:29whether you can close that gap against John.
24:31Stay with us on Tipping Point.
24:32Yes.
24:35It's been a great game all day today.
24:47Welcome back, everyone, to Tipping Point.
24:48John, you've still got the lead.
24:50It is 11 counters.
24:52You've got the next question.
24:53Yeah.
24:53Here it is.
24:54Often translated as Big Mike,
24:57Grow Michelle is a variety of what tropical fruit?
25:00Pass or play?
25:01I believe I know this one.
25:03I'm going to play it.
25:04Mm-hmm.
25:05I'm going to say that that's a variety of banana.
25:07Banana.
25:09Would you say it's a banana, Sean?
25:11Ha, ha, ha.
25:12I have no idea.
25:14Mm.
25:15You say banana.
25:19It's the Canadian twang.
25:21Let's find out if you're right.
25:24You got it.
25:26Well played, John.
25:30Let's tune out.
25:32Um.
25:34I've got to try it.
25:35I've got to try to see if I can wrap up number three on the right.
25:39So let's play it.
25:39Light up drop, sound free.
25:40Light it up.
25:49All right.
25:49Come on.
25:50I don't know if that's the right side.
25:52You cleaned up the other way.
25:54Yep.
25:54Yep.
25:56Oh.
25:58Oh.
25:59Oh.
26:03Cleaning up everywhere.
26:04Ended up finding two, including that mystery counter as well.
26:07So $200 goes into the machine.
26:10Let's take it out of there.
26:10Throw it into your bank.
26:11That's $2,400.
26:13And, John, you've got yourself a washer, right?
26:17Yeah.
26:18Well, now, get your sizzle on with this Ziggy Triple Elite Barbecue
26:21with a precision grill system and power burners
26:24allowing you to sear, grill and roast with ease.
26:26It's valued at $1,500.
26:28Thanks to barbecues galore.
26:30Awesome.
26:32Cute.
26:34So when the bit of fat from the barbies go all over your shirt,
26:37you can throw it straight into the washing machine.
26:39Straight in there.
26:40Okay.
26:40Well played.
26:41$2,400.
26:42Sean, that is 13 counters that you are behind.
26:46There is a row there.
26:47So you need this counter.
26:49Yep.
26:49Good luck.
26:50Final question.
26:53Renowned for pitying fools, actor and professional wrestler
26:56Lawrence Tarot is best known by what stage name?
27:00Pass or play?
27:01Mr. T.
27:01You are now playing.
27:03Don, is he?
27:04Yeah.
27:04I pity fool don't know the answer.
27:09There you go.
27:10Is it Mr. T?
27:12It is.
27:18Okay.
27:19To go through to the next round,
27:20you need 14 counters.
27:22And you have one shot at it.
27:24Where can you find them?
27:28I'm going to go one.
27:30Okay.
27:31Drops on one.
27:31Light her up.
27:32I'm going to go one.
27:35Kind of need a view to come off the top and spread out.
27:40That's going to slide down the wall.
27:42There is a gap there, though.
27:45Oh.
27:46Okay.
27:46Okay.
27:48Come on.
27:50Oh.
27:52No generosity.
27:53No love.
27:54No love in the end.
27:55So nothing to transfer for you on the last drop.
27:58And that means that at the end of Head to Head, well, John, 2,400 is too good for Sean with only 1,100.
28:06And Sean, unfortunately, we've found your tipping point.
28:09Very good.
28:11All right.
28:12Good game.
28:13Good game.
28:14So good luck with the rest of the filmmaking.
28:16We look forward to being able to watch some of those.
28:18Yeah.
28:18Thanks for coming on the show.
28:19Great having you.
28:21And done.
28:22Yes.
28:22Music to your ears, hey?
28:23Oh, yeah.
28:24It's the jackpot counters worth $20,000, and that's what you're playing for next.
28:28We'll find out if you can tame our machine.
28:31Stay with us on Tipping Points.
28:45Welcome back to Tipping Point, where John came all the way from the back of the pack to the front.
28:49And you got $2,400 for that effort.
28:54Before we get going, though, we're talking a little bit about accents.
28:57Yes.
28:58And you mentioned just briefly there Canada.
29:00Yes.
29:00Tell us when you came out.
29:02I first came out on a working holiday in 2012.
29:05Fell in love with it, and it worked out that I could stay.
29:07I'm a citizen now, so I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
29:09Lovely to have you.
29:10Oh, thank you.
29:11It's lovely to be here.
29:13And your heritage is mixed, because in the ad break, we were chatting about the tattoos on your arm.
29:18Yes.
29:18And they're actually magnificent.
29:20Who's that?
29:20That was your grandfather.
29:21Yeah, this is Papu.
29:22Yeah, and on the other side?
29:23So my grandmother and grandfather.
29:26And that's the Greek side of the family?
29:27Yes.
29:28Fantastic.
29:28Yes.
29:29Where did the music come from?
29:30Not that side.
29:31Oh, okay.
29:32The other side, my mum's side, very musical, almost everyone.
29:35And there's one other question I have here, because it's a unique thing called synthasezia?
29:40Synesthesia.
29:40What is it?
29:41Basically, the senses and the wirings in the brain are sort of crisscrossed, so it means
29:46that I hear colours at certain pitches.
29:48I sometimes can taste them.
29:50It's very common in most artists, but especially musicians.
29:53Interesting.
29:54I have none of that.
29:55Yeah.
29:55Sometimes it's a little annoying, so you don't need it.
29:58Well, I'll tell you what's not annoying, is how you progressed into this round today.
30:01So we need to keep the game moving.
30:03Ready to move on?
30:03Yeah.
30:04Let's play the jackpot round.
30:05So, John, I'm going to get you to put that jackpot count in the machine.
30:12If you can push it back out over that tipping point, there's your 20,000, unless you're able
30:17to get it out with one of those doubles.
30:18If you could do that, it'd be $40,000.
30:21That'd be cool.
30:21Now, what would you like to do?
30:24Perhaps that's of no interest at all.
30:25I'm thinking let's light up Drop Zone 2.
30:29We're going to light up 2, please.
30:35Oh, come on.
30:37Get out.
30:38Get out.
30:39There we go.
30:40Well done.
30:41All right.
30:42Nice and flat.
30:44And every counter that comes over worth another $100 in your bank.
30:48I'm okay with that.
30:49All right.
30:49Not yet.
30:50Not yet, but that's okay.
30:52Okay.
30:52We're going to find more counters to play with through the categories.
30:56And you've got five of them.
30:57And for you today, they're these.
30:59TV, towers, teams, toys, tunes.
31:03I love a good alliteration.
31:05You can play for one, two, or three.
31:06The more you play for, the harder the question.
31:08Where to and for how many?
31:10Let's start at the top.
31:11Let's try TV for three, please.
31:14Whoa!
31:15Before we read that question, you've had two thrown at you between three and four.
31:19Cool.
31:20So that's another $200, $2,600.
31:23Let's hope it keeps throwing money at us, John.
31:25Let's find out your question.
31:26The first one, good luck.
31:29Known for the line,
31:30just give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
31:32Ron Swanson is a character in which US sitcom?
31:36Scrubs, Parks and Recreation, or Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
31:40That would be Parks and Recreation, Todd.
31:42Yeah.
31:43No, you didn't even have to think, did you?
31:44Nah.
31:45Nah, it's one of my favourite shows.
31:46Light it up, then.
31:47Parks and Recreation.
31:49Are you going green?
31:53Excellent.
31:54Excellent.
31:54Okay.
31:55All right.
31:57Light up job zone two for us, please.
31:59All right.
32:05Oh, come on.
32:06Spin that one.
32:07All right.
32:09Spin a little left.
32:11It's all right.
32:12Still takes some.
32:14Might just fill that next hole.
32:15It might.
32:16Oh!
32:17Right.
32:17There's a lot there that might come with a double eventually,
32:20but that's just one.
32:212,700.
32:23Let's get that second counter.
32:24Then light her up.
32:32Wow.
32:32Okay.
32:33All right.
32:35What's that one going to do?
32:38All right.
32:39Okay.
32:39Filling in some gaps.
32:40We've got some weight at the front of that counter now.
32:43All right.
32:43Third and final of the first category.
32:45Light it up one more time, please.
32:46All right.
32:47Okay.
32:48We want it all swinging that way.
32:49Oh, that came down.
32:53Oh!
32:54Okay.
32:55All right.
32:55Oh, stuff going everywhere.
32:58All over the place.
32:59Oh.
32:59Oh.
33:01Okay.
33:03Mm.
33:04Might have to go.
33:05Oh.
33:05All right.
33:07Watch this clear out now.
33:09Yeah.
33:10Oh, this could be massive.
33:12Oh.
33:13Oh.
33:14Take it.
33:15We wanted it to take the double.
33:17Yeah.
33:18Four came over.
33:19Okay.
33:19And one came over under the floor as well.
33:22So that's another five.
33:23So $3,200 sitting in the machine.
33:27That's your bank.
33:28We're out of counters.
33:30And we need to go back to categories.
33:31Yep.
33:31Let's just keep going top to bottom.
33:33Okay.
33:33Let's go towers for three, please.
33:34Towers for three.
33:35Which of these towers is the tallest?
33:41Sydney Tower, the leading tower of Pisa, or the Eiffel Tower?
33:45Ooh.
33:47All right.
33:47Well, I was recently at the Eiffel Tower, and it's pretty big.
33:50Um, I've been to Sydney.
33:54I'm usually good with this kind of stuff.
33:55I might have to be a bit of a gut decision here, and I'm thinking I...
34:00Because, look, it was the tallest tower in the world for quite some time.
34:03I'm going to go with the Eiffel.
34:04Okay, I'm going to light up the Eiffel Tower.
34:07Is the Eiffel Tower the tallest of those three?
34:12Oh!
34:14Great work.
34:15Thanks.
34:16The leading tower of Pisa was the shortest, I think, at 56 metres.
34:20Sydney Tower was 309 metres.
34:24And the Eiffel Tower, 330 metres.
34:27There you go.
34:28I'm okay with it.
34:28Right.
34:29Now, my only little concern here is that that jackpot has just edged over.
34:36So we need a hard, hard left.
34:38Yeah.
34:38So let's see if we can do that.
34:40Light it up.
34:47Oh!
34:49The exact opposite side.
34:50We wanted that position, but over there.
34:52Yeah.
34:53Okay, but here comes your double.
34:54This could clean up.
34:57Oh!
34:58Okay.
34:59We're saving it.
35:01Yep.
35:01That was another two.
35:023,400 goes up and in the machine.
35:05Let's put it in there for the second time.
35:07Light it up, please.
35:13Oh, no!
35:14Come on!
35:16It's just loving that right side right now.
35:20Okay.
35:21You're going to clean up a little bit now?
35:22Yep.
35:23Tidy up that.
35:23Come on.
35:24There it is.
35:27Whoa!
35:27Oh, another half a dozen, including the double.
35:30So that's another $1,200 going up.
35:32All right.
35:33$4,600.
35:34All right.
35:35Not bad.
35:36Third and final from this category.
35:38Light her up again.
35:41Something's got to go left the other way for us.
35:43Something's got to go to the left.
35:44Oh, dude!
35:51I just...
35:52Why didn't you put the counter on the other side?
35:54Yeah!
35:58All right.
36:00Oh!
36:00Oh!
36:01Okay.
36:01All right.
36:02Two more.
36:03I'll take it.
36:03We're getting towards 5,000 in the bank.
36:05We are.
36:054,800.
36:06But we are out of counters, so let's go back once more.
36:10Let's go teams for three.
36:11All right.
36:14The Dillaroos are the Australian national women's team in which sport?
36:19Volleyball?
36:20Rugby league?
36:21Or cricket?
36:22I knew I was going to get something that had cricket in the answer, because I know nothing
36:25about cricket, but I'm pretty...
36:27Okay.
36:27Again, working through it out loud.
36:31I'm going to rule out rugby league.
36:34Just...
36:35I mean, I haven't watched as much of the national team as I probably should, being an ardent supporter
36:40of rugby in general, but...
36:44It's a toss-up between volleyball and cricket.
36:48So, let's go...
36:53Just do it.
36:54Let's go volleyball.
36:54Oh...
36:55Okay.
36:56I'm going to light up volleyball.
36:57Okay.
36:57And you can hold your breath through the ad break to find out if you've got three more
37:00counters or not.
37:01Stay with us.
37:15Welcome back to Sipping Point.
37:16John, you're playing fantastically well.
37:19Thanks.
37:19$4,800, the jackpot counter, in a bit of an awkward position.
37:24A little bit.
37:24But, we need counters.
37:26The question before the break.
37:27The Jillaroos are the Australian national women's team in which sport?
37:30You said, volleyball.
37:33Let's do that.
37:33Do the Jillaroos play volleyball?
37:35Please be cool.
37:38Oh.
37:40Rugby league.
37:41Ah.
37:42Yes.
37:42Of course.
37:43And the Jillaroos.
37:44The Jillaroos.
37:44Should have known.
37:45Bare luck.
37:46Yep.
37:46Never mind.
37:47We've got two more to go.
37:48We're going to need them.
37:49Let's do it.
37:50Let's go toys for three, please.
37:51Toys for three.
37:55What is the name of a large glass toy marble?
37:58A Toby baller?
38:00A Tom bowler?
38:01Or a Todd banger?
38:06I mean...
38:08All right.
38:10I'm going to rule out Todd banger.
38:12Much to some people's chagrin.
38:15I know.
38:17Look, it just makes sense if it's called a Tom bowler.
38:20So, let's see if it's Tom bowler.
38:22Let's lock that in.
38:23Light up, Tom bowler.
38:24Is that the name of a large glass toy marble?
38:31Woo!
38:31Well done.
38:32All right.
38:34Bowler and banger just didn't sound right, did it?
38:37OK, we need a bit of luck here.
38:38We had just a plethora of counters throw themselves to the right.
38:42Now we need to switch direction here.
38:44Change the wind and light up drop zone two.
38:46Oh, like, are you kidding me?
38:54I tell you, we would have had it over the tipping point
38:56if you had it on the right side.
39:00It's OK.
39:00It's all right.
39:03I'll take it.
39:05Two more.
39:06You've got $5,000 in the bank.
39:08$5,000 is all yours.
39:11All right.
39:12Light it up again.
39:12Second to three.
39:13Two.
39:16Come on, John.
39:17Let's do it.
39:18Get that pitch or whatever it is.
39:20You get it the other side.
39:21Come on.
39:24OK.
39:25All right.
39:26Give us a bit of lateral, but the weight's going to push it straight.
39:29Right.
39:29Yeah, there it goes.
39:31Right.
39:32It was closer, at least.
39:33It was, yeah.
39:34Third and final.
39:35Light it up.
39:35Let's do it.
39:37Para calor.
39:41All right.
39:44About time two.
39:46Indeed.
39:46Come on now.
39:47Come on.
39:48All right.
39:49OK.
39:50We've got a little movement.
39:51That's something.
39:54And you've got two more.
39:56So that's $5,200 in the bank.
39:58Oh, let's not bank it just yet.
40:01You might have a little bit more.
40:03No.
40:03OK.
40:04So it's $5,200 in the bank, and if we can get one more on the left side, we'll get that
40:09countered down.
40:10But we've only got three more opportunities in terms of counters in this final category.
40:15Let's go tunes, and let's make it three, please.
40:17Tunes for three.
40:18I better know this one.
40:19Girl, look at that body.
40:22Girl, look at that body.
40:24Girl, look at that body.
40:26I work out.
40:27Is the lyric from which song?
40:30I'm too sexy.
40:32OK.
40:32Sexy and I know it.
40:34Sexy back.
40:36All right.
40:36I know it's not I'm too sexy, because I grew up in that era, and it's just, it's not that
40:40one, because the lyrics are surprisingly deeper than that.
40:43OK.
40:44And I, like, I know sexy back.
40:47Like, I know, that's Justin Timberlake, right?
40:50Like, I know vaguely, but I don't know the lyrics.
40:55Yeah, I guess it's just a total stab in the dark on this one.
40:58And, uh, sexy and I know it.
41:01Light up sexy and I know it.
41:04Was that a statement from you?
41:07Well, yes, but it was also my answer.
41:10Is it sexy and I know it?
41:14Yes!
41:18Total, total luck it gets.
41:19I had no idea.
41:21Well done.
41:22Well done.
41:22Come on, let's get a bit of luck.
41:24You've played really, really, really, really well.
41:26Now we need the luck.
41:27Light up two.
41:29Come on, John.
41:30OK.
41:31Let's do this.
41:32Come on.
41:34Something's got to get.
41:38Left side.
41:39Oh, yeah, there we go.
41:40Come on.
41:41OK.
41:42So that's going to, it's definitely going to push it,
41:44but it might still wrap to the right.
41:46Yeah.
41:47Yeah.
41:49Damn, it's just, it's that little bit heavier.
41:51Yeah.
41:52Because it's that little bit bigger.
41:53Light it up again.
41:54Two, please.
41:55All right.
41:55All right.
41:58No, that's the wrong side.
42:04I'm going to get off that, but Mike, get a little more money.
42:07There you go.
42:09I'll take it.
42:12OK.
42:12Just $100.
42:13$5,300.
42:16And we now have the final counter.
42:19Light it up for the final time.
42:20Job zone two.
42:22Oh.
42:23Money's coming over.
42:25Worth another $100 in your bank.
42:27Don't want to help out, does it?
42:36It doesn't.
42:38Hey, it's OK.
42:39Well, we had one extra come over before you got the counter into the machine.
42:43So at the end of your jackpot round, John, you can smile because you've got $5,400.
42:48Oh, I'm smiling.
42:52Not only have you got $5,400, but you've got yourself a washing machine, you've got yourself
42:57a barbecue.
42:58Yeah, man.
42:59And because you've got those, then we should play Jackpot Temptation.
43:04I didn't think you were going to do it.
43:08Yeah, you bet I'm going to do it.
43:10That was only if it was on the bottom.
43:11No way.
43:12OK.
43:13Now you've got $5,400.
43:15That's good.
43:15You were saying how good that is.
43:16Yeah, it's pretty good.
43:17Just a moment ago.
43:18But I wonder whether you'd be willing to risk it.
43:20Maybe.
43:21That's the whole point, right?
43:23So what do you got?
43:24I mean, it's on the top.
43:26So it's a simple equation for me.
43:29I'm going to throw everything that I can at you.
43:31And that is five counters.
43:32I'm going to increase the value of the jackpot to $40,000.
43:35Plus, I'm going to throw in a sun-soaked escape to Daydream Island Resort.
43:39It's valued at $5,000.
43:40Thanks to the Queensland experts at my holiday.
43:45Oh, man.
43:46While you contemplate it, because I can see that you are.
43:49I am.
43:50And I'm pleased about that.
43:51I am.
43:51We're going to go to the newsroom.
43:54John, before we went to the newsroom, the offer was five counters.
43:58Increased the value to $40,000.
44:00And threw in a holiday to Daydream Island for you.
44:04That's valued at $5,000.
44:06What are you going to do?
44:08I mean, look.
44:10You'll have to give that up.
44:11I would.
44:12Do I go to the barbecue and the washer, too?
44:14Oh, yeah.
44:14You've got that big horse.
44:16I'm not going to take those away.
44:18Okay.
44:18All right.
44:19Look.
44:20I'm super tempted.
44:22And, I mean, anything could happen.
44:25Anything could happen.
44:26I could get it on the first one.
44:27Boom.
44:28But, but, it's heavier.
44:31It might take a couple pushes to get off the top.
44:35So, like, $40,000 would go a long way towards getting a new piano.
44:38And that holiday, I mean, after graduating, I could probably really use it.
44:42But, this would get me a nice holiday as well.
44:44And I could do the washing when we get back.
44:47So, I think, I think I'm just going to stick with it.
44:51To quote you, John, dude, you've done well.
44:54Thanks.
44:55$5,400.
44:57You got the washer, the barbecue.
44:59You played brilliantly.
45:00It's been great fun.
45:01Thanks for coming on the show.
45:02Lovely to have you.
45:02Thanks to our audience today.
45:03You've been great.
45:05And so have you at home.
45:06Thanks for watching.
45:06And join us next time on Retreat.
45:08New contestants light up their luck on Sipping Point.
45:11We'll see you next time on Sipping Point.
