00:07I'm just making a cappuccino, Faye.
00:09Okay, love.
00:09Do you want one?
00:11No, no.
00:12There's this guy on my social media.
00:15He's super cute.
00:16But when he talks, he talks.
00:18Yeah, talk to me.
00:19I'm here.
00:19I don't like his voice.
00:20It's such a...
00:22Pop, pop!
00:25He's rolling through and looking at all these baby things.
00:29Yeah.
00:29All these cute little babies now that I'm...
00:31I'm thinking of cutting my hair really, really short.
00:34Do you reckon?
00:38Huh?
00:38Every evening in Australia...
00:40You know what this is!
00:42Yeah!
00:43TV reaches over 12 million of us.
00:45What?
00:46It's so unhinged.
00:47It's crazy.
00:48But have you ever wondered what other people are watching?
00:50I just will never understand this show.
00:53Why is it so dumb?
00:55Find out what people thought about what was on in the last seven days.
00:59Let's go!
01:00Let's go!
01:00I love this show so much!
01:02We are about to meet a whole bunch of weirdos and I cannot wait.
01:06This week, we crowned a new Australian idol.
01:09So the finale is Eilish, Gisella and Marshall Hamburger.
01:14I love that they get single names and his is too ludicrous not to mention the whole thing.
01:19Love Triangle returned with a familiar face.
01:22Mike!
01:22He was on...
01:23Mavs!
01:23Mavs!
01:24Mavs!
01:24He just got back from Turkey, obviously.
01:26And the premiere of Mobland had us going...
01:29Mavs!
01:30Mavs!
01:31Mavs!
01:31Mavs!
01:32Mavs!
01:33Mavs!
01:33Thinking...
01:33This is going to be soon!
01:35And saying...
01:36Mate, that was star-studded.
01:37Top shelf TV.
01:40Mavs!
01:41Mavs!
01:43Mavs!
01:47Mavs!
01:47Mavs!
01:49Mavs!
01:49Mavs!
01:49Mavs!
01:50Mavs!
01:51Mavs!
01:53Mavs!
01:55Mavs!
01:57Mavs!
01:58After three life-changing months...
02:01Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
02:03Australia's biggest social experiment...
02:06Social explosion more than experiment.
02:08...comes to a close.
02:09Let's go Mavs, baby!
02:13Final reunion.
02:14Hello!
02:14Greetings!
02:15Greetings!
02:16The judges are bringing everyone back to tell them what a bad job they did in choosing the couples.
02:21They're not in love anymore.
02:22They're not in love anymore.
02:24They're not in love anymore.
02:25So we have one successful couple out of ten.
02:28Exactly.
02:29Hang on.
02:29There's also an important update.
02:31Look!
02:32Partner swap!
02:33Oh, that's right.
02:34Jackie and Clint got together.
02:35No!
02:36Yeah.
02:36The golfer's got a birdie, finally.
02:38How does that happen?
02:39Clint invited me down to Tasmania.
02:42That ain't a euphemism.
02:43He's actually from Tasmania.
02:45Yeah, I'm...
02:46Now I'm moving in with Clint.
02:48You're moving in?
02:49Oh my God, they're deluded and blind.
02:52Hey, I'm Clint.
02:52How are ya?
02:53Well, it has been 12 seasons of Mavs.
02:56And just when we thought we couldn't get any worse at our jobs, we brought you lot together.
03:02And for those of you walking away single, it's probably on you.
03:06Thank God that this is over.
03:08Because stop stressing for these idiots.
03:10You know what?
03:11I say this every time.
03:13But this was my favourite season of Mavs.
03:15It always makes me sad when this finishes.
03:17Well, don't get too sad.
03:19Because this week, Stan launched a new season of its reality dating show.
03:24Love Triangle.
03:25Oh, great.
03:27This is a freaking Mavs spin-off.
03:30Oh, it's not that similar.
03:32You see, in Love Triangle, each single is matched with two prospective partners.
03:36They pick one to date, but then all three move into a house to live together.
03:40Is it just me?
03:42Or is this the same drone shots they use in Mavs?
03:45Look, this is an exciting new series with its own unique identity.
03:50Mike, he was on Mavs.
03:52Mavs.
03:53Mavs.
03:53Mavs season six.
03:55He just got back from Turkey, obviously.
03:56People remember me as being...
03:59A bit of a dick.
04:00I'm not your therapist.
04:01This isn't therapy.
04:03Mike sucked.
04:04And now he's back.
04:06Dating since Mavs, it's been difficult.
04:08Because everyone knows that you are an absolute tosspot.
04:12The only way for him to date now is to go on a TV show where they force people to
04:16date him.
04:17And those two people are...
04:18Melinda from Wollongong.
04:20And Melissa from Sydney.
04:22It's the M&Ms.
04:23And M's.
04:23And Mike gets down to texting.
04:25Oh, Melinda, here we go.
04:27Well, hello there, Michael.
04:29Nice to receive your message.
04:31Nice to receive your message?
04:32What, is he talking to an AI chatbot?
04:35So what are you doing right now?
04:37Just got off the talk.
04:38God, watching someone text sucks.
04:42If we were doing that, Lee, what would we be doing?
04:44One.
04:45Two.
04:45Three.
04:46So tell me, do you have any interesting hobbies?
04:49God, he's got a shocking chat.
04:50This is like texting with your dad.
04:53News revolution I set myself is to squash a watermelon between my thighs.
04:58Aww.
04:58Aww.
04:59I love this chick.
05:01Next, we head to Sydney to meet another hopeful single.
05:04I'm Chloe.
05:05I'm 27.
05:06Hiya, Chloe.
05:07I identify as bisexual.
05:09Ooh.
05:10I wonder if she'd be in a triangle with a guy and a girl.
05:12Well, we won't know at first because...
05:15Chloe has been given only the first initial of her match's names.
05:19Oh.
05:21It's like the voice.
05:22Turn around for whoever.
05:23You'll know straight away if it's a he or a she by the text, I reckon.
05:26Well, let's find out.
05:28Up first, it's E.
05:29Very nice to hear from you, Chloe.
05:32What do you do for work?
05:33Boring.
05:33See, for blackfellas, it's not what do you do for work, it's who you do.
05:37I'm a machine operator and crane driver at a steel manufacturing company.
05:41That is definitely a male.
05:42Well, let's see what B does for work.
05:45Content creator for fashion brands, it's Belinda City.
05:48Well, we're about to find out because Chloe has chosen to go on a date with B.
05:53I wouldn't be meeting someone there.
05:54In the dark.
05:55No.
05:56Surely they could pick somewhere a little bit safer.
05:58Chloe.
05:59It's a girl.
06:00Guess who's on B's name?
06:02Beck.
06:02Beck.
06:03Beck.
06:04Yeah, I know three lesbian Becks.
06:06My middle name's Rebecca.
06:08See, I told you, it's a very common lesbian name.
06:10I'm getting what's called a stem vibe from Beck.
06:13I've never heard that before.
06:14Which is like a mix between a mask and a femme.
06:18See, the lesbians make up all this weird shit.
06:20Do you like feminine girls?
06:22Different from what I'm used to, I normally go for quite masculine.
06:25Uh oh.
06:25I'm obviously not masculine.
06:27You'll be right.
06:28Let's give her a Bunnings voucher.
06:30Hook, line and sinker.
06:31Time for the next date, where Mike has picked Melinda.
06:34So is Melinda the watermelon thigh chick?
06:36Hello.
06:37She's got a couple of watermelons going on.
06:39Oh, hang on.
06:40Ice cream.
06:41Oh, they've got an ice cream boat.
06:42Ice cream on the beach?
06:44On the sea?
06:44On the water?
06:45Looks like it.
06:46Since when?
06:47I don't know.
06:48I've never seen that before, have you?
06:49Oh, it's probably a real Sydney thing.
06:51I know that beach.
06:52Yeah, see?
06:53I reckon that's Chinaman's Beach.
06:54They don't really call it that these days, do they?
06:56You used to make love on Chinaman's Beach.
06:58Do not.
06:59Alright, too much information.
07:00There you go.
07:01Thank you so much.
07:02That's a good start.
07:04Does she watch maths?
07:05That's the key.
07:06I don't know that Melinda recognised me from maths.
07:08Dude, you're not, like, that famous.
07:11Brother, you're on maths.
07:12I'm just going to have to let the cat out of the bag.
07:14No, you don't.
07:15Oh, don't.
07:16Shut up.
07:17Do I remind you of anyone?
07:18Oh, my God.
07:20What a loser.
07:21He's asking, do you know who I am?
07:23You know who does this when we go out?
07:25Kevin.
07:26A few years ago, I did Married at First Sight.
07:30Oh.
07:31This is so awkward.
07:32Did you watch that?
07:33Yeah, I've seen it.
07:34I haven't seen you on it, though.
07:35OK.
07:35OK, well.
07:38Pop that, Balloon.
07:41Sorry, they haven't finished her ice cream.
07:44So, they're leaving the date.
07:46I'm going to do a bit of a maths deep dive.
07:49Oh, no.
07:51That's bad for Mike.
07:54Oh, I didn't need another trash dating show in my life.
07:58but at least you don't have to learn new names.
08:00I'm invested only because I want to see Mike's downfall.
08:03I didn't mind that. I thought, like, you know, it was...
08:06I don't know where they got the triangle from, but...
08:08Oh, my God. Are you dumb?
08:21Did you know that the colour of your lips
08:23meant to be the same colour as your nibs?
08:27Welcome to The Project.
08:29Hopefully it's a good news story.
08:30Top Gun and Batman star Val Kilmer has passed away aged 65.
08:35Oh, no.
08:36Oh, Val Kilmer died.
08:39He was one of Hollywood's biggest stars back in the day.
08:41Val lives behind daughter Mercedes and son Jack.
08:44He had throat cancer and he got pneumonia and died of pneumonia.
08:48My mum is going to be devoured.
08:50Aww.
08:51Tonight the world remembers a Hollywood legend.
08:53Is Val Kilmer famous enough to have a project segment dedicated to him?
08:58Bro, he was Batman.
08:59Bruce Wayne.
09:01I reckon he was the sexiest Batman out of all of them.
09:04Mmm.
09:05Oh, do you remember him in Heat?
09:08Wow, I love that movie.
09:09He was in, like, The Doors in Morrison.
09:11I am the greatest swordsman that ever lived.
09:14Willow!
09:15I don't think I've ever seen it.
09:16You are great.
09:18My goodness, he's been in so many movies.
09:21Bro, he's big.
09:22Val Kilmer's big, man.
09:23Yeah.
09:24Fair enough.
09:24So many incredible movies.
09:26Name your favourite Val Kilmer movie.
09:28One, two, three.
09:29Top Gun.
09:30He was Iceman in Top Gun.
09:31I think the whole volleyball scene in Top Gun really got her going.
09:36Such a spunk.
09:37This is how I remember him in Top Gun.
09:39Top Gun was really what launched him into the stratosphere, right?
09:42He didn't even want to audition for the role.
09:44His agent forced him to.
09:47Wow.
09:47Imagine not wanting to do Top Gun and not realising that it would kickstart your whole career.
09:51Intensity that he had.
09:52I mean, he had fewer than 100 words of dialogue.
09:55Really?
09:55I thought he was in it a lot.
09:57And then he's, like, considered to be, like, a main part of the movie.
09:59And then he says at the end, he's like, you can be my wingman any time.
10:03And then Maverick's like, bullshit.
10:05You can be mine.
10:06See, they don't make films like that anymore.
10:08Don't they?
10:09No.
10:09They made Maverick in 2022.
10:11Yeah.
10:11It was, like, 18 months ago.
10:13One last thing.
10:14He was already sick in that movie.
10:17He couldn't really talk towards the end.
10:19Because he was so poorly, he could barely say words because of the throat cancer.
10:24Oh, how sad.
10:25Who's the better pilot?
10:26You or me?
10:27I reckon, in a movie, that was one of the last lines he said.
10:32It was a courageous effort.
10:33Actually, that's a beautiful gift that he's left with us all.
10:36Yeah.
10:37That he did that.
10:40R.I.P. Val Kilmer.
10:43What a legend.
10:44My mum is going to be dev-o'd.
10:47I've got to give her a call, actually.
10:49She'll be, honestly, she'll be proper dev-o'd.
11:02So I took Sarah out to a really nice restaurant the other night.
11:05Wait, wait.
11:06She's Sarah.
11:07Your wife says.
11:08You're Sarah.
11:09Why does she get to be Sarah and mine says?
11:11Because she was already Sarah.
11:13We can't change, backdate it.
11:14You seem like...
11:15Get it off your chest.
11:16What else?
11:17Yeah, maybe just don't marry a Sarah next time.
11:18You're already looking at a house down the street to move into.
11:21You've married a Sarah.
11:22What else do you want from me?
11:23You're going to call your first son Malik?
11:25I was considering it.
11:27Finally, this week on 7.
11:29Woo!
11:30This Australian Idol Finals!
11:32Hooray!
11:33Do you call it a finale or the final?
11:36Finale.
11:36Why?
11:37Showbiz.
11:37Alright, let's put this shit on so we can finish it.
11:40Welcome to the Live Idol Grand Finale.
11:43What the hell's she wearing?
11:44She's coming in our foil.
11:45You couldn't put her in the microwave.
11:46She would light on fire.
11:48I was going to say she looked a little bit like a roll-up.
11:49Or like an oil slick.
11:52From around Australia, thousands auditioned, but only three remain.
11:57So the finale is Eilish.
11:59Eilish is my favourite.
12:00Gisella.
12:00For 16, she's got a great voice.
12:02And Marshall Hamburger.
12:04I love that they get single names and his is too ludicrous not to mention the whole thing.
12:08Well, our first grand finalist to take to the stage.
12:12Gisella!
12:13Yes!
12:14Alright, come on Gisella.
12:15What a feeling!
12:17Can you feel it?
12:19Pictures come and light.
12:22She's got such a strong voice for her age.
12:24Through your love.
12:27Gisella is fantastic.
12:28She's only 16 with this much talent.
12:31She's going places, buddy.
12:32She should represent Australia in Eurovision.
12:37Wow!
12:40Oh my God!
12:42She's fantastic.
12:43Before you know it, she's going to be singing Christmas carols at Carols by Candlelight.
12:47Did you enjoy that?
12:48No, sorry.
12:49I didn't like that.
12:50Thank you so much.
12:51So, Gisella's going to win.
12:52She is our Celine Dion.
12:55Oh, shut up and get on to the next song!
12:57Right-o.
12:57Let's see what...
12:58Alice.
12:59Eilish.
13:00...has to offer.
13:00Good for you, you'll be happy as hell.
13:03Ah!
13:03Ah!
13:04You go, little rock star!
13:08She's doing a good job.
13:09I mean, I wouldn't download the song.
13:11Get it!
13:11Eilish!
13:12Eilish!
13:13Eilish!
13:14Woo!
13:15Do you reckon she's going to win?
13:17Yeah.
13:17No.
13:17No.
13:18Well, wait a sec, because we've still got this guy.
13:20Now my favourite.
13:21This is Marshall Hamburger!
13:25Hamburger.
13:26Could you imagine if Australia's biggest pop star's name was Marshall Hamburger?
13:30Woo!
13:35Is his last name actually Hamburger?
13:38I'd love that.
13:38His dad must be German.
13:40Yeah, maybe he is.
13:41Didn't you think I could?
13:43You get the whole package with this guy.
13:45But wouldn't he be called Marshall Frankfurt?
13:48No.
13:53Oh, there's a tail feather!
13:55There's a tail feather!
13:56There it is!
14:00Woo!
14:01Give it up for the Berg!
14:03Because they're from Germany.
14:05The Frankfurt.
14:05And there's also Hamburger, the suburb.
14:08Righto, let's just see who makes it to the top two.
14:11Hamburger.
14:12I think Eilish is indefinitely.
14:14Fingers crossed for Gisella.
14:15I mean, like, they're all great, but I just don't really care.
14:19Eilish!
14:20Woo!
14:21Aw!
14:23Eilish!
14:23Go Eilish!
14:24Go Eilish!
14:24So she's made her through.
14:25And the second person through is?
14:28I think it's going to be Gisella.
14:29Gisella.
14:30Gisella.
14:31Gisella.
14:31Gisella.
14:32Gisella.
14:33Gisella.
14:33All right.
14:34Marshall!
14:35Oh!
14:36Oh, my God!
14:40What?
14:40I'm going to put my money on Gisella, to be honest.
14:42Well, you can't, because she's gone.
14:44Oh, well.
14:45Congratulations, Marshall Hamburger!
14:48You look shocked.
14:49I'm shocked.
14:49I'm shocked.
14:50I'm shocked as well.
14:51So, with the top two being Eilish and Burger Boy...
14:54I'll tell you what, I wouldn't mind a hamburger.
14:56I wouldn't be able to eat it all, but...
14:57Mmm.
14:57..it's time for a warble-off.
14:59Gisella, I didn't know!
15:07He's in agony.
15:08He's probably sitting on his left testicle.
15:11Marshall for the win.
15:12Ugh.
15:14Gisella sits on both of them and she's not there.
15:16Okay, well, let's just find out who won.
15:18Come on, Marshall.
15:19Bring it home for Queensland.
15:20Who's your favourite singer, Leon?
15:23Eilish.
15:24Eilish.
15:25The winner.
15:25Is.
15:26Of Australian Idol.
15:28Is.
15:282025.
15:30Is.
15:31Drumroll!
15:32Sorry, but I haven't watched this for weeks,
15:34for it not to be Gisella.
15:35We're done here.
15:37Marshall Hamburger!
15:39It's freaking Marshall!
15:41The burger with the lot.
15:43That's bullshit.
15:44Thank you, Australia.
15:44Don't thank me, I didn't vote for you.
15:46It looks like someone's memorial.
15:48Well, they're dressed for a funeral.
15:49Look at them.
15:49Yours would be like this, Jared.
15:51Confetti going everywhere.
15:52Big party, I'll have a guest list.
15:54A random cowboy.
15:55And someone in an ugly dress.
15:57Goodnight, Australia!
16:18Goodnight, Australia!
16:20I can't meditate.
16:21No, too much head noise.
16:23Oh!
16:24I close my eyes and then people start doing back flips.
16:26Like right now I've got a little stick man like back flipping and I keep saying stop.
16:30That's what I'm saying right now in my head too.
16:32On Wednesday we checked out Pilot Week on the ABC where we discovered this new high school comedy.
16:38Irvi went to an all girls school.
16:41Hey, I went to an all girls school.
16:43Oh, so did I sis.
16:44I'm co-ed.
16:45You actually surprised me that you went to a co-ed school.
16:47Why?
16:48Because you didn't figure out how to talk to girls until you were 37.
16:51The show is set in 2010 and follows year 11 student Irvi and younger sister Maya.
16:56You look like the girl in the back.
16:58Is this your story of high school?
17:01My eldest Irvi is falling behind in mathematics.
17:03We told you that too.
17:05Please bless her studies so she doesn't fail.
17:09Or worse, becomes a struggling artist.
17:13I remember mum and dad wanted me to be a physio.
17:16You crushed mum's dreams.
17:17You became a dancer and a teacher.
17:20She thinks she's gonna be the next Nicole Kidman.
17:22Yeah, and I wanted to be a star.
17:24It's not impossible.
17:25It is impossible.
17:26I forbid you from acting.
17:28I forbid you from acting.
17:30I'll disown you.
17:31Irvi's sister Maya, however, is acing school, being moved up a grade.
17:35You know what? That actually looks like our uniform.
17:37This is really taking me back, I'm not gonna lie.
17:39Is it?
17:39Yeah.
17:39You're such a little noob, honestly.
17:41This year, I'm not helping you anymore.
17:42You're on your own.
17:43This was not like my high school experience.
17:45I would not have been caught dead within like five metres of my sister.
17:48That's rude.
17:49Who can I hang out with?
17:50Literally anyone in the pod, Maya.
17:51Take your pick.
17:53That group over there holding a basketball, that's a basketball group.
17:56What group are you in?
17:57I was with the nerds.
17:58I was in the what group?
17:59I was in an all Lebanese group.
18:01Because your whole school was all Lebanese.
18:03That group is toilet block, because they always sit near the toilet blocks.
18:06There was mole patrols.
18:07Oh yeah, I forgot about the mole patrols.
18:09You've got your bookworms, you've got your popular girls.
18:12I think they must have been the popular girls after what they do on that banana.
18:15Who are they?
18:16That is spicy mayo.
18:19Spicy mayo?
18:20You know why they're spicy mayo?
18:21Why?
18:21You can only be their bestie if you're mixed race and hot.
18:24Oh what?
18:24I could never be in with them because I'm allergic to egg.
18:27Ow!
18:28Hervey, Hervey.
18:29So these are like the mean girls.
18:31This is me at work with my current team.
18:32Hervey's 2010 goals?
18:34Does that say break hymen?
18:36Break hymen?
18:37What's a hymen?
18:38No.
18:39No.
18:39Who is that?
18:40That's Hot Ryan, the hottest year 12 at Grogon Boys High.
18:43Hot Ryan.
18:44I think we all went to school with a Hot Ryan.
18:47He's literally famous.
18:48He's not hot anymore.
18:49No, he's not.
18:49He's got a big gut on him and he doesn't do anything.
18:51Are you talking about Kevin or something?
18:54Well, let's meet this heartthrob as Hot Ryan has been cast as the lead in this year's
18:58musical with The Boys School.
19:00Get your face in the magazine.
19:03Oh!
19:04That's Hot Ryan.
19:07The old flick of Niagara.
19:08I remember that.
19:10Also, Hot Ryan looks like he's in his 30s.
19:13You can't tell me he looks like a high school student.
19:15None of them do.
19:16And Hot Ryan's starring role spurs Irvie into defying her dad and signing up for the musical.
19:22If her dad finds out she's there mate, she's in big trouble.
19:24And she's not the only one taking chances as in a bid to join Spicy Mayo, Maya has told them.
19:30I actually am adopted.
19:32What?
19:33Half Japanese.
19:35Half Indian.
19:36Arigato!
19:37Are you cereal?
19:38You're Jindian.
19:39A Jindian!
19:40I didn't even know that was a thing.
19:41We've got cousins who are Wagga-origines.
19:42Oh!
19:43What are you doing in Fifth Period?
19:45She's joining Spicy Mayo.
19:47Just hanging out with the bad crew.
19:48That's not cool, man.
19:50Especially as Spicy Mayo are keen to find someone to torment this year from the school musical auditions.
19:56I was in the school musical.
19:58Sashay.
19:59Beauty.
20:00Okay, I did not do this shit.
20:02My very first musical was The Hunchback of Nostradam.
20:05And you rung the bell.
20:06When I like Quasimodo like trying to ring the bell.
20:09The only thing more embarrassing than being in a musical is auditioning for a musical.
20:14Shut up.
20:14No, it's not.
20:15Which fugly freakazoid's life are we going to ruin this year?
20:18Maya?
20:18Are you spying on me?
20:20Oh.
20:21Isn't that lovely?
20:22Legends, as the guest director, I need to get to know you.
20:25So write down something about yourselves that I might not know.
20:29And hand the paper to me.
20:31Not her diary.
20:32I have an idea.
20:33Oh, she's going to expose her for having a crush on Hot Ryan.
20:39Camera lights action, baby.
20:41This year, Irvi's goals are to have Hot Ryan break my hymen.
20:48Oh, no.
20:50What's a hymen?
20:50Somebody explain to him.
20:52I'm not explaining that.
20:53You know what?
20:55I can't change who I am.
20:57I can't change what I love.
21:01Man, high school's tough.
21:03Listen, judges always love a sob story.
21:05She's in.
21:06What you said on stage, I really felt that.
21:09Maybe she did get the part.
21:10She's getting the lead.
21:11Not quite.
21:12Strumpet number seven.
21:13Yeah, baby.
21:14Strumpet number seven.
21:15Anything number seven isn't great.
21:17So true.
21:18Yes!
21:20She's stoked.
21:21That was like Westy when she got into the cricket team in school.
21:24Yes!
21:25Can you pledge ship?
21:28I actually loved that.
21:30It was cheesy but funny.
21:32I mean, once you got past the fact that they were fully grown adults playing high school students,
21:36not too bad.
21:37You could have got a role on that show.
21:40Teenager number three.
21:51Teenager number three.
21:54Can I be the first one to say eww?
21:59Eww.
22:00Since when did you say eww?
22:02Finally hit the stage where his parents having a kiss is disgusting.
22:07Another kiss.
22:08Welcome to the club, brother.
22:10Primetime on SBS is a show all about transport infrastructure.
22:15Sydney is on a mission.
22:17Sydney has the worst infrastructure I've ever seen in my life.
22:22Congested roads.
22:23Roads are just useless.
22:25Traffic congestion.
22:26The traffic is disgusting.
22:28Well, there's some good things about Sydney.
22:30The Harbour Bridge.
22:31There's too much water around.
22:33And beautiful beaches.
22:34Bondi Beach stinks.
22:36Alright, we get it.
22:37You're from Melbourne.
22:38But Sydney has tried to fix those problems with a massive infrastructure project.
22:43By building a new state-of-the-art metro system.
22:47Yes!
22:48Sick.
22:48Jeez, this is exciting.
22:50I'm sold.
22:51I love rail.
22:54Sydney's super tunnel?
22:56Love it.
22:56Wow.
22:57Isn't that what you were when you went down to Mardi Gras?
23:00A super tunnel?
23:00Been known by many names.
23:02The new city line will dive 40 metres under the surface of Sydney Harbour.
23:07A tunnel's underwater?
23:08For the first time in Australia.
23:10A specialised type of tunnel boring machine.
23:13Boring is right.
23:15Don't you ever wonder how things are made?
23:17No.
23:18Or TBM is being used.
23:20We now have a TV show about digging a hole.
23:22Love it.
23:23Dale Kerrigan would be so pumped with this.
23:25Yeah.
23:26Called a slurry machine.
23:27Called a slurry machine?
23:28That sounds like something I've been called a few times.
23:30Don't call her that.
23:31Bore through the mud and sediment, 40 metres under the surface.
23:36Oh!
23:37Who cares?
23:38Just enjoy technology and the advancement of humanity.
23:43No.
23:43You should have been an engineer, Kevin.
23:45I can't spell engineer.
23:47It's a big puzzle and very challenging.
23:49The show explores the technical challenges engineers have when digging a hole, such as...
23:54the way they're digging.
23:56There's going to be so many tunnels.
23:58Is there any earth anymore?
24:00Don't worry.
24:00They won't dig up the whole earth.
24:02My God.
24:03They're going to create a black hole.
24:05A black hole from a train track.
24:07Just relax.
24:08They're actually worried about moving the big drill machine around.
24:12Whoa.
24:13Some tricky but necessary manoeuvres needed to be performed.
24:17Okay.
24:17We have five hours now.
24:18The road is closed.
24:19Need to get the TBM across the road.
24:21See, this is what annoys me.
24:23Detour.
24:23Road closed.
24:25We're carefully transported across a busy road.
24:28You walk past road works, there's 20 dudes doing nothing.
24:32Nothing.
24:33Just standing there.
24:33Wait till you see inside.
24:35With the station box ready, just in time.
24:37Look, but they're not doing anything.
24:39A large crowd has gathered.
24:40Guy's got his phone out.
24:42They're waiting for the slurry machine.
24:45How beautiful is she?
24:46Who's she?
24:47We're referring to the machine as a she because she's beautiful.
24:50What's her name?
24:52Something the slurry.
24:53Sarah.
24:54No, don't say Sarah.
24:56It's been named Kathleen.
24:58Call her Kathleen.
24:59Oh, the machine does have a name.
25:01Yeah.
25:01Kathleen.
25:02Why isn't it a bloke's name?
25:03It's a very big thing.
25:05Are they saying most Kathleen's are fat?
25:06Kathleen finally broke through underground.
25:09Oh, here we go.
25:09Big Bertha.
25:10Here she comes.
25:11It's a...
25:12It's a...
25:14It's a...
25:14It's a Kathleen!
25:17Sick.
25:18Look at that.
25:19Whoa!
25:21How amazing is that?
25:22Do you know who loves this show?
25:24Blokes.
25:25That's cool as.
25:26Do you know who doesn't love this show?
25:27Me.
25:28Kathleen isn't the only slurry.
25:30TBM Wendy.
25:31Wendy.
25:32Is Kathleen on Matt Lee?
25:34Probably.
25:34TBM Wendy.
25:35Come on Wendy!
25:36Burst through into the light.
25:40Boom.
25:41Sick.
25:42Wow!
25:43There's a lot of nerds out there who love this.
25:45Dude, I love this.
25:46I'm loving this.
25:47Love it.
25:48Okay, you just hop on the train and you go, shh, and you're gone.
25:50Yeah, but I don't care.
25:51You've got to see, okay, how did they make this?
25:53I don't care.
25:54And this is how you see them, with the big drill thing.
25:56I don't care how the train goes.
25:57Put the train there and I get on it.
26:00Central Station.
26:00The team face an almost impossible challenge.
26:03Building the new metro line underneath the existing station.
26:07They've got to build a train station under a train station.
26:10That's right, while Central is still active.
26:13So it's now very important to move quickly.
26:16James has been allowed a 48 hour possession.
26:19Oh look, but they're not doing anything!
26:21They've got 48 hours!
26:22They're doing shit!
26:23With so much to play for, they're erasing time.
26:26One dude working!
26:28They're making sure everything's safe.
26:30The narrow work areas only allow one operation at a time.
26:34I've got to get off this.
26:35I'm just...
26:36Yeah, you've got tunnel vision.
26:38You've got tunnel vision.
26:40The ballast trucks dump the last load.
26:42And the tamping machine settles the ballast.
26:45Tampon machine?
26:46A tampon machine?
26:47Really?
26:48What's going on there?
26:50Maybe to sweep up all the oil, I don't know.
26:53And that's what you call a big weekend.
26:57That was unreal.
26:58That was one of the coolest shows I've seen.
27:00I'd like it if I couldn't sleep.
27:02No.
27:02And I'd put it on because I'd be out like a light.
27:06Have you been on the Metro yet?
27:07No, it hasn't opened.
27:08It has opened, bro.
27:10No, it's not open.
27:11People are catching it every day, bro.
27:13Yeah, but not the ones I want to jump on.
27:15Standard.
27:16Standard.
27:17It hasn't arrived at Bengtstown, so it doesn't exist yet.
27:35Have I ever told you that I went to Guy Sebastian's concert
27:39at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda?
27:41Never.
27:42I'm going to the Palais tomorrow night.
27:43Who are you seeing?
27:44The Angels.
27:45Yeah, Bogan.
27:46Am I ever going to see your face again?
27:50No way!
27:51What if we told you there was a treasure chest
27:54somewhere in the mountains north of Santa Fe?
27:56Wait, what?
27:56Treasure.
27:57No way.
27:58Yes way, because this week we dived into a new doco series
28:02that charts a real-life treasure hunt in the US.
28:06Golden Green, the hunt for Fenn's treasure.
28:09So it's a modern-day treasure hunt?
28:11Yeah, but it's now a Netflix doco,
28:12which means something bad has happened.
28:14Let's not get ahead of ourselves
28:15and find out about the fellow who buried the treasure,
28:18Forrest Fenn.
28:19Who's Forrest Fenn?
28:21A millionaire art dealer who wrote a memoir.
28:23Okay.
28:24He said, nobody's going to want to read this book about me,
28:27so I put something in there that will make people buy it.
28:30What's that?
28:31Well, Forrest had buried a treasure chest
28:33with $3 million worth of jewels in the Rocky Mountains.
28:37$3 million in jewels.
28:40Wow.
28:40Where's the treasure?
28:41In my book there's a poem.
28:42A poem.
28:43And there are nine clues in the poem.
28:45Clues hidden in a poem!
28:46And anyone can go and find it.
28:48First one to it can have it.
28:49Oh, wow.
28:50So people need to buy the book to find the treasure.
28:53That is the smartest viral marketing ever!
28:56The book took off.
28:58The treasure hunters took off.
29:01Can you imagine the type of people that are going for this?
29:03Let's meet some of them, shall we?
29:05Grew up in trailer park, never seen nothing really.
29:09We're rednecks.
29:10I'll believe that.
29:11We aren't stupid rednecks.
29:13They're rednecks, not dumb.
29:14Hard to believe.
29:15They read the poem to me.
29:17Surprised I could read the poem.
29:19Turns out they could.
29:20And inspired by the clues, they hit the road.
29:23We're coming, Mr Finn.
29:24We are coming.
29:25Would you go on the hunt?
29:26Yes!
29:27Oh, heck yes.
29:28I would do it.
29:29No chance.
29:29Yee-haw!
29:30Imagine you're out there looking for treasure,
29:32and you run into the three hearse boys.
29:34You think, that's it.
29:35I'm being murdered.
29:36Alright.
29:37Let's see in which remote part of the US
29:39these treasure hunters end up
29:41by following the poem's first clue.
29:43Begin it where warm waters halt
29:45and take it in the canyon down.
29:47What?
29:47Where's that warm water stop?
29:49I don't know.
29:50Like a spring?
29:51Like a natural warm spring?
29:52A river system?
29:53It could be where people, like, piss a lot.
29:55So maybe a public toilet.
29:57Chad, I highly doubt
29:58it's a public toilet in the mountains.
30:01Okay.
30:02Let's see if other hunters have better ideas.
30:04Is my voice still okay?
30:07Cynthia Meacham.
30:08Crazy treasure hunter.
30:09The first clue to the poem was
30:10begin it where warm waters halt.
30:12So I always started with a hot spring.
30:16Clever.
30:16Hello, I told you.
30:18A hot spring.
30:19It wasn't too much longer that I discovered
30:22San Antonio hot springs on the map.
30:24You don't have to touch it.
30:25We know it's hot.
30:25It's got steam.
30:26Aww.
30:27But the Hursts have other thoughts
30:29on how to crack the code.
30:31Here we go.
30:31Genius is back on the case.
30:33How else can I nail this down?
30:34And that's when I found out about the synonyms.
30:36Oh, wow.
30:37Maybe he is smarter than we thought.
30:39Wear equals lower.
30:40What?
30:41What?
30:42In what language does it equal that?
30:45So they're synonyms.
30:46How?
30:46Mate, he's still learning what a synonym is.
30:48Give the guy a break.
30:49See what I'm saying?
30:50No.
30:50I'm positive we were on the right track.
30:52Wait, so the boys think they're in Wyoming.
30:54She thinks it's in New Mexico.
30:56They're literally searching in two different states.
30:58I love how they all interpretate the poem and clues very differently.
31:03I love that you used interpretate.
31:05That's not a word.
31:06It's not.
31:07So let's see how another treasure hunter.
31:09Justin Posey.
31:10Is tackling how to find the boozy.
31:12Most dogs can detect different precious metals six plus feet down.
31:17Wow.
31:18I could train Tucker.
31:19A dog that can sniff out gold.
31:21That's smart.
31:23You don't do anything cool.
31:24So now that we have the secret weapon, the next question was...
31:27Where's the gold?
31:29Okay, so we've all started in different spots.
31:31Someone's gotta be wrong.
31:32Yeah, but we've got a guy using a dog to sniff out gold.
31:35The other guys are turning the word where into lower.
31:38The third clue was not too far, but too far to walk.
31:41Guess what?
31:41Oh, this is gonna be good.
31:42It's a marathon.
31:44What?
31:45Marathon.
31:45Too far to walk, you know?
31:47You gotta run.
31:48What?
31:48I love listening to their reasoning.
31:50Any smarter people have some theories?
31:52Yeah, do you know...
31:53Do you know...
31:53You know...
31:54Do you know who's busy...
31:56Do you wanna know who he's biggest in...
31:59Wow, look at that!
32:02You've got no chance of finding this treasure.
32:04Maybe another clue will help.
32:06Okay, from here, it's no place for the meek.
32:08What's that mean?
32:09It's like, you gotta be brave.
32:10What's that animal up there?
32:11Is that a bear?
32:12Oh, shit.
32:13It's a bear.
32:13This is how people...
32:15die.
32:16The treasure hunter who disappeared several months ago has been found dead.
32:20Oh, God.
32:21Someone died looking for it.
32:23I told you, you can't just be walking around in the middle of nowhere in America.
32:26People started questioning first, why don't you call off the hunt?
32:28Now that it was a matter of life and death.
32:30Why should he stop the treasure hunt because someone lost his life?
32:33These are grown adults with fully developed brains doing this.
32:37You sure?
32:38But despite the fatality, even more people joined the hunt.
32:42300,000 treasure hunters.
32:44What?
32:44It went crazy.
32:46Oh!
32:47I just crashed.
32:48Oh!
32:48This is insane.
32:49I was not stopping until I found the treasure.
32:52Whoa!
32:53I am guessing that the three boys living in the trailer park didn't win the three million bucks.
32:58Are you serious?
32:59We want to know who won.
33:01Two episodes to go.
33:02Let's go.
33:03I'm not waiting for another show.
33:04I want to look it up.
33:05Don't ruin it.
33:05I want to look it up.
33:06Don't you look it up.
33:07We're going to watch another episode now.
33:23Oh, big boy.
33:24I'm coming in.
33:26Oh, yeah.
33:27Oh, yeah.
33:28There it is.
33:29Push hard.
33:30Oh!
33:31Oh, Mary.
33:32What did you do to it anyway?
33:34Well, you know I signed up to the gym at the start of the year.
33:36Yep.
33:36I finally went and I cooked my back.
33:39No!
33:40What the hell?
33:42I don't know.
33:42It was a gun.
33:43You're making it worse.
33:46Is that what I think it is?
33:50Lucky an animal show has come on.
33:52Oh, yum.
33:53It's not that kind of animal show.
33:55This is set in a zoo.
33:57I wonder how many animals in the zoo I've eaten.
33:59Alright, settle down.
34:01Everyone's excited!
34:02Secrets of the zoo.
34:03Secrets of the zoo.
34:05Secrets of the zoo.
34:06Secrets of the zoo.
34:06Yes, that's what the show's called.
34:09And the zoo revealing its secrets to us is in Columbus in America.
34:13Ostriches will be ostriches.
34:15Ostrich steaks are delicious.
34:17Enough.
34:17The war is our middle-aged male ostrich.
34:21Today he's getting his annual shots.
34:22He's getting a what shot?
34:24His annual shots.
34:24I thought he said an anal shot.
34:27There's no one who's looking nervous.
34:28He's going to kick and fight and it's going to get nasty.
34:31I want this to kick off.
34:32Dad.
34:34Good boy.
34:35Alright, so we're going to try to lift this up.
34:37Oh no.
34:37Oh no!
34:39Wow!
34:40Ooh!
34:42No, she's stuck herself.
34:43She's stuck herself with a needle.
34:45I see Priscilla goes down.
34:47My goal is to make sure she's okay.
34:49There'll be a new needle for you.
34:51New needle.
34:51These guys look like they read instructions on how to give an ostrich a vaccine on T-Moon.
34:58Hopefully they'll have better luck with this...
35:00Rhinosaurus?
35:01...a truly majestic creature that...
35:04Oh my gosh.
35:06That was a rhino fart.
35:07I've honestly never heard one that loud.
35:09Oh my gosh.
35:11We've had some suspicions lately that Sonya could be pregnant.
35:14Surely they would know if she's pregnant or not.
35:16Surely they knew when they were going for it.
35:18The whole zoo would have heard her.
35:20Open.
35:20He wants to check if she's pregnant.
35:22That's a wrong end.
35:23Does he know that?
35:23He's supposed to be a vet.
35:24I'm having Dr Priscilla come down to do an ultrasound.
35:27If she's pregnant, who's the dad?
35:29Hopefully it's another rhino.
35:30Oh jeez.
35:31Hope the ultrasound doesn't come back looking like one of the zookeepers.
35:34And she's going out to pasture next week, right?
35:36Wait, they're putting her down?
35:37No, they're putting her in a literal pasture.
35:40She's going to be going out to pasture this morning.
35:42Take her to the pasture.
35:44Taking her there to where, Keith?
35:45Pasture.
35:46Pasture.
35:47Yeah, not pasta.
35:47P-A-S-T-U-R-E.
35:49Pasture.
35:49They might be going to give pasta.
35:51She might be hungry.
35:52Alright, next animal.
35:53Hey guys.
35:54I love the goats.
35:55They're my favourite animal.
35:56The goat.
35:59That's the one.
36:00My God.
36:01This is a petting zoo.
36:02We're at a fate.
36:03We quickly get through examining the rest of the goats.
36:05If you went to a zoo and you saw a goat.
36:07Alright mate.
36:08That's shit.
36:09You are a little bit too snobby for the zoo.
36:12Kiko is a sweet goat.
36:13She's one of my favourites.
36:14I'm convinced goats are Lebanese.
36:16Why?
36:18They look like they've come from like the Middle East originally.
36:22Oh.
36:22We do have a few that are a little feisty.
36:26Oh my God.
36:27No.
36:28Goats were first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region in the Middle East.
36:33You're like fourth cousins probably.
36:37Today we're taking Kiko, our 12 year old goat, in for another CT scan.
36:42We're doing a CT scan on a goat.
36:44I don't know if anything that goes in a shoe gets a CT scan.
36:47Her heart rate just picked up a lot.
36:49I can't get this sort of medical service.
36:51Four mils, Proposol.
36:52Takes me two days to get into the GP.
36:54All cleared.
36:55Another three weeks to get in with the specialist.
36:57We should have been goats.
36:58We finish up the CT and Kiko's doing great.
37:00Oh, animals look so sad when they're knocked out.
37:03I hope this is nothing serious.
37:04Her transporting a goat from the hospital back down to the barn.
37:08Aww.
37:08He's okay.
37:09Katie, she's down on her side.
37:11Okay, she okay?
37:12Oh, shit!
37:13Gang cardiac arrest at this point.
37:14No.
37:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
37:18Oh my God.
37:20Lower the table.
37:21Kiko!
37:22Kiko!
37:23Get oxygen flow by while we're...
37:25Pull that up.
37:28Oh!
37:30Stop for a second.
37:32Do we have any heartbeat?
37:33Nothing.
37:35Oh!
37:38Come on!
37:40Oh, gosh.
37:41We're done.
37:42We're done?
37:43Oh my God.
37:44Aww.
37:46What's happened?
37:47She did.
37:49We're like almost back to the barn.
37:50She just let out one vocalization and clapped.
37:53She like...
37:54Oh, they care so much.
37:59See, it's more than a job to them.
38:13Rest in peace, my friend.
38:16And it can happen in that quick of a moment and...
38:21I suppose it'd be bad to say, you know, now.
38:25Aww.
38:27To be put on a suvla.
38:29No, don't.
38:30No.
38:32I like that show.
38:33I love nature docos.
38:35I'm so sad we lost the goat.
38:37To eat.
38:38We went to like a petting zoo and they have goats there.
38:42It's behind a fence because like they just ram into the kids.
38:45And then Malik got knocked over.
38:47Really?
38:48They ram you.
38:48Goats are arseholes.
38:49They ram you.
38:50I told you they're Lebanese.
39:13Are you a 12-year-old kid at recess?
39:17For what?
39:18This week, Paramount Plus debuted a new English crime drama.
39:23We're here to find a solution.
39:25We have to find a way forward.
39:26Oh, this is Tom Hardy.
39:28I appreciate the relationship between the Dohans and the Lazarus
39:31goes back more than three decades.
39:33God, the gays go mad for him.
39:36Really?
39:37They sure do.
39:38And in this show, Tom Hardy plays Harry D'Souza,
39:41a fixer trying to broker peace between two rival gangs.
39:45When Tom Hardy's in it, you know it's going to be good.
39:47When Tom Hardy's in it, you know you're going to need subtitles.
39:52I'm a body language expert here and I reckon these two don't love each other.
39:56Hold that up.
39:57Why are we holding a thought?
39:58Because Harry needs orders from Conrad Harrigan.
40:00Let's call him the Godfather.
40:03That's the big boss.
40:07Where are we?
40:08Hey!
40:08Pierce Brosnan?
40:10James Bond?
40:11007.
40:12Mamma Mia!
40:13It's always the same.
40:14In any orchard, you plant the trees.
40:16The trees grow tall.
40:18Then sooner or later, the apples start to rot.
40:20And that, Harry, my son, is pruning time.
40:23I feel like all these mob bosses have such beautiful metaphors.
40:26Right.
40:28Change your plan.
40:32Motherf...
40:34Yep.
40:34He pruned them.
40:35It's no Mamma Mia, is it?
40:38Oh, Helen Mirren's in it too!
40:42Oh my God!
40:43That's British acting royalty.
40:44Why is she a big actress?
40:46Is she a big actress?
40:47I can't, I can't even.
40:48I can't even.
40:49We're just...
40:50The guy Richie directs it!
40:52My favourite director in the world.
40:54Lock, stock and two smoking barrels.
40:56This is gonna be sick!
40:58The real story revolves around...
41:00The taxi!
41:01Got these lads on a night out.
41:03Eddie and Tommy are the heirs of two rival crime families,
41:07so they really shouldn't be hanging out.
41:09Oh, it's kind of like Romeo and Juliet.
41:11Hmm.
41:11More like Romeo and Romeo.
41:13No, come on!
41:16What's up, mate?
41:17Hmm.
41:18You know, like, this is never gonna end well.
41:23Oh!
41:25That didn't.
41:27Jesus, Eddie.
41:28Holy shit.
41:30Bit of a psycho.
41:33Gotta get out of there quick.
41:36Oh my God.
41:37It's always some rich, spoiled brat
41:40that causes all the problems.
41:42Always.
41:42Tommy!
41:43Where'd you get off to?
41:45Here.
41:45Alright, don't shit yourself.
41:47He lodged it, put his hands in his back pocket.
41:49Of course he was gonna get some.
41:50Oh my God.
41:51This guy's gonna get them all arrested.
41:53It may be worse than that,
41:54because the next morning,
41:55Eddie's dad gets a phone call
41:57from rival mob boss Richie Stevenson.
42:00Richie?
42:01Oh, Tommy was out with your Eddie last night,
42:03and he hasn't come home.
42:04Oh, shit!
42:05The two sons from the rival mob bosses were out together,
42:09and now one hasn't come home.
42:10So what's Eddie done with Tommy?
42:12If my Tommy ain't home by today,
42:15I'm coming up there with you, love.
42:17And I'm gonna start with you.
42:18Oh, shit.
42:19It's always the kids causing trouble.
42:21Yeah.
42:22And guess whose job it is to fix it?
42:24Alright, mate.
42:25Just as Harry finishes one problem,
42:27he's got a whole nother problem.
42:28Wake up.
42:29Eddie.
42:31It's Harry.
42:32What have you done, Eddie?
42:33Alright, you get one go at this, yeah?
42:35Tell me the truth.
42:36Were you with Tommy Stevenson last night?
42:40No, obviously not.
42:41Porky is acting like a spoiled brat.
42:44Make sure that Eddie does not leave that house, alright?
42:48Eddie's killed Tommy for sure.
42:49Well, he was on a bit of a stabbing spree last night.
42:51This little prick, he's just kicked it all off.
42:54To prevent an all-out mob war,
42:56Harry meets with Tommy's dad.
42:58Here he is.
42:58Oh, shit.
42:59That's the big boss man.
43:00To either calm him down, or take him out.
43:03Oh, the old...
43:04Sniper.
43:04With a silencer through the hole in the van.
43:07The last time I saw a hole in a van.
43:09Hmm.
43:09Different sort of van, I think.
43:11Different sort of hole.
43:12Where's Eddie?
43:12I need to see Eddie Harrigan.
43:14I need to hear from his own mouth, face to face,
43:17whether he was with my boy last night.
43:18Come on, Richie.
43:19You know that you can't just summon
43:22the governor's grandson like that.
43:24I say give up Eddie and save the war.
43:26Yeah, but the mob boss is not going to give up his own son.
43:29So Harry calls Godfather Conrad for orders.
43:32Where are we?
43:34Yeah, Eddie's lying.
43:35If Tommy's gone, there's going to be a war.
43:38We can do Richie now.
43:39It's your call.
43:44Oh, here I come.
43:45He's making his way to the car now.
43:47What's he going to do?
43:48What's he going to do?
43:49Where is he now?
43:51There's Helen Mirren.
43:52How's she feeling in the picture?
43:53Probably his wife.
43:54Harry's got Richie Stevens in the crosshairs.
43:57It's about ten seconds from getting in this vehicle.
43:59Nine.
44:00Eight.
44:01We're going to do this.
44:02We've got to get a move on.
44:02Seven.
44:04Six.
44:06About three seconds gone, right?
44:11Stick.
44:12Stick.
44:13Stick.
44:15What does that mean?
44:16Don't shoot.
44:17Oh, wow.
44:20Wrong place, wrong time.
44:22Helen Mirren's the boss, I reckon.
44:23She's the real mastermind.
44:25And don't you want to be there when Richie gets done?
44:28Oh, she didn't want her husband to miss out on the drama.
44:31That is a good wife.
44:33And a lighter.
44:35She's gangster.
44:36She's gangster.
44:38I'm telling you.
44:41Mate.
44:42Mate, that was star-studded.
44:43Top shelf TV.
44:59So my wife was cutting my hair last night
45:01and there's one thing you don't want to hear
45:03when she's cutting your hair.
45:04She's chopping away at the back and she goes,
45:06oh, oh, it's okay.
45:08You wear a hat a lot anyway.
45:10I don't know what she did back there,
45:12but it was an uh-oh.
45:13Oh, Jesus.
45:15This week, we watched a Netflix documentary about...
45:20Ned Brockman.
45:21Oh, yeah, I've heard about this guy.
45:23The man with a mullet on a mission.
45:25Who ran from Perth to Bondi.
45:29Run.
45:30I don't know a lot about Ned Brockman and his story.
45:33When I came to Sydney,
45:34I saw the amount of homeless people on the street.
45:36He would tell me, okay, I know exactly what I want to do.
45:39I'm going to raise some money for homelessness.
45:41A bogan with a heart.
45:42Get it done, Ned Brockman.
45:43Let's go.
45:44He said to me, I'm going to run across Australia.
45:47Jesus.
45:47I wouldn't drive across Australia, let alone run it.
45:50Google would have just been going, are you sure?
45:544,000 kilometres, $1 million going towards charity.
45:58So 100 kilometres, an ultramarathon a day.
46:02People think I know all about everything when it comes to running.
46:05I've got no idea.
46:06So he had no idea who he was going to do it.
46:08He just thought, oh, just start to run.
46:10Day one.
46:11Nice out here.
46:12I love his energy.
46:14Everything was just like where I was meant to be.
46:16Look at that mullet bounce.
46:18Love the mullet.
46:19It's pretty iconic.
46:19Is there someone with him?
46:21They reckon, don't let your friends or your family crew you.
46:24I essentially picked my mum and my dad.
46:26He chose his mum to be his support person.
46:28We were green.
46:30So green.
46:31Nobody had worked out elevation.
46:32He said to me, I thought Australia was flat.
46:36Oh, I love him.
46:38I thought Australia was flat.
46:40Hills today, baby.
46:41Woo!
46:42I love this guy, man.
46:43He could be the most Aussie guy who's ever Aussied.
46:46The average Aussie fell in love gradually as Ned went across the country.
46:49Got some cash oil in red.
46:52Go donate.
46:53If you haven't donated, please go follow the link.
46:56I'll put one up here.
46:57Word spread.
46:57Oh, you've got to follow this guy.
46:59But as the donations grew, Ned's body started to fail.
47:03He's limping, though.
47:04The toll this would have taken on his body.
47:06The first injury was the knees.
47:09He had a pretty severe Achilles tendinopathy as well.
47:12Oh, my God.
47:12Bilateral hips, tearing one of his gluteal tendons.
47:15God, can you imagine?
47:16It would have been quicker to go through the injuries he didn't have.
47:19He's had a really sore toe, and the maggots ate the infection.
47:22Oh!
47:24What is he, dead?
47:25In that moment, I remember just being like,
47:27how do we get through this?
47:28He's just in agony.
47:30I cannot sleep.
47:30I roll and toss and turn, and I'm in so much pain.
47:35He's breaking down.
47:37Oh, imagine mum listening to this.
47:39I want to run 100k, mum.
47:41But my body right now is not letting me.
47:43Oh, can you just quit at this point?
47:46No, he's only got plan A.
47:48If you just get out to the next day,
47:50get to the pink line and take another step...
47:54Surely, surely it'll hold on.
47:55Let's go!
47:57Yeah!
47:58He's got more than one screw loose.
48:00Oh, if you grabbed him and shook him,
48:01he'd sound like a toolbox.
48:05Now he's starting to get some serious followers.
48:08By the time he hit Victoria, it was like...
48:09It was national.
48:10Full viral, and then it spread to Jimmy Barnes.
48:13You might be part madman,
48:16but you're an absolute legend.
48:18Barnsey!
48:19Catch a plane back.
48:20Albanese, he got in on it.
48:21You doing this, that commends my respect.
48:24Adesanya, that's his hero.
48:25That would have given him such a boost.
48:27That's where there was the honking
48:29and the people pulling over and the signs on the road.
48:33See, that's the thing, as the run went on,
48:34more people started to follow his story.
48:36I remember following this on social media every day.
48:39You'd wake up and look at where Ned was.
48:42Today, the final stretch from Campbelltown to Bondi Beach.
48:46We're coming home, baby!
48:48The 23-year-old Sparky receiving a rock star reception.
48:52Mate, this is not New Year's Day at Bondi.
48:54This is not your regular Bondi Australia Day.
48:56This is Ned Brockman turning up.
48:58It was just incredible to see the crowd engulfed behind him.
49:02I do remember seeing this on the news.
49:03I was going to fly to Sydney just to go to this.
49:05Were you?
49:05I got so wrapped up in it, yeah.
49:07It took 47 days and nearly 4,000 kilometres,
49:10but Ned Brockman has completed his epic cross-country run.
49:14Yes, Ned!
49:17What a freaking legend.
49:20Whatever money he raised, he's deserved it.
49:23How much?
49:23To raise 2.6 million.
49:252.6?
49:26Oh, good on him.
49:28Well done, Ned.
49:29At the end of the day, how could you be more proud?
49:31What a moment.
49:32I'm all goosed up, man.
49:34It's just like, what an achievement.
49:37God is my witness.
49:38Told you I was stacking.
49:40Get riches.
49:40Wow, that was an awesome show, yeah?
49:42That's so inspiring.
49:44I want to go do something for people right now.
49:46I want to do something.
49:48What are you going to do to help me?
