00:00Get ready. These four strangers have never met, but they're uniting with a single purpose to defeat the relentless chaser.
00:07Their combined skill might be enough for a win, or maybe they'll add a burst of firepower to turbocharge their
00:14game.
00:15Let's get this started. Chase is on.
00:26Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Chase Australia.
00:28So, who are these four fearless contestants taking on tonight's chaser? Let's meet them.
00:33Hi, I'm Michael, and no destination's too far for me to watch the Bulldogs play.
00:37Hi, I'm Jake, and I love moshing with my mum at punk rock festivals.
00:41Hi, I'm Brookie, and I'm the first woman to run a marathon whilst dribbling a football.
00:46Hi, I'm Julia, and I was at the finish line when Cathy Freeman made history.
00:51Okay, so that is my team, but hot on the heels is the chaser.
00:54Now, if they get caught, the money is gone, and so are they, but if they make it through, they
00:58could share in a huge cash prize.
01:00Now, everyone must face the chaser, and tonight, Michael is first up.
01:06Hey, Michael. Hey, how are you, Larry?
01:08Good, mate. What's happening at home, mate? Pets, what's going on?
01:11Oh, I've got a snake. I've had him for about eight years now, Apex.
01:14What, Apex? What sort of snake?
01:16Albino Darwin, so a nice yellow and white, and a bit of orange in there as well.
01:19How big is that?
01:20About as tall as you.
01:22So, just short then.
01:23Yeah.
01:25Mad Bulldogs fan.
01:26Biggest one you'll ever find. Haven't missed a game for 1,850 days.
01:31Is it?
01:31The last game I missed was 8th of August 2020.
01:34Storm and Bulldogs up at Sunshine Coast, but done it again the next year, and I haven't stopped since.
01:39And this is home and away, right? This is all over the place.
01:41Every game, doesn't matter where they play. Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Brisbane.
01:46How far have you travelled? What's the biggest trip?
01:49Probably Townsville. I've done that three or four times. I've done New Zealand as well a couple of times.
01:54All right. Hey, Michael, if you win some money tonight, what do you want to do with that?
01:57Continue on the Bulldogs games. We're heading to Vegas in February.
02:00I'll be there if the Bulldogs are there, so looking forward to it. Should be good. First time in America.
02:04Mate, what a commitment. All right, let's go. One minute on the clock, $2,000 for every correct answer.
02:08Best of luck to you, and your time starts now. A common alliterative term for an enjoyable but unpaid job
02:14is a labour of what?

02:45Pass. Zero. What does the H stand for in the air conditioning abbreviation HVAC?

03:12Pass.
03:14Mate, you didn't get the Annie musical question.
03:17I couldn't think of the name. I knew it, but I couldn't think of the name.
03:20You're going to be okay with that? Yeah, yeah.
03:22Pay $6,000. All right. Straight into the Vegas fund if we can get it past the chaser,
03:26and we'll find out who that is right after the break. Good stuff.
03:42All during the break, Michael's looking down at me like, let's do it. Let's go, little fella.
03:45Okay, here we go. Which chaser will you be facing tonight?
03:48Now, could it be Tiger Mum? She skipped the bedtime stories and went straight to peer-reviewed journals.
03:54Or Professor. Having confidence is good, but he says that won't be enough.
03:59Ashad. He writes a quiz for the paper because TV know-it-all isn't smug enough.
04:05Goliath. He doesn't need to shout, wrong. His eyebrow raise does the job.
04:09Or Smiling Assassin. She's part genius, part jukebox, and part glitter cannon.
04:14Ready to go?
04:15Let's do it.
04:15Yeah, right. Let's do it.
04:16Let's do it. Release the chaser.
04:21Here comes the super nerd.
04:23Nice.
04:23Nice.
04:30Hello, Michael.
04:31How are you, super nerd?
04:32Very well, thank you. Now, I grew up with a snake in my household. It scarred me for life.
04:37Only one of those snakes that stops the wind getting in the front door.
04:40But still, it was terrible.
04:41You're going to be okay? I can see that's triggering for you.
04:44Hello, Isa. Lovely to see you.
04:45Likewise.
04:45Here's your money on the board right now. $6,000 five steps from home.
04:49Low offer, please.
04:50$1,000.
04:51Okay, here's your top offer.
04:52We'll gently start the team off with $20,000.
04:57Alright.
04:58Okay, I want to get back to the desk. I'm not taking the low offer, so I'm going to stick
05:01with the $6,000.
05:02Let's go for the $6,000. Lose the $1,000, lose the $20,000. And for $6,000, the chase
05:06is on.
05:10Here is your first question. Good luck.
05:13In 2025, ex-Wallaby Quade Cooper announced an aspiration to represent Australia in what sport at the LA Olympics?
05:22A, handball.
05:23B, flag football.
05:25C, golf.
05:30Got this one?
05:31Not sure, but he is a footy player. Flag football seems most appropriate.
05:36Sounds good. Locked in flag football.
05:38Correct answer is...
05:42Flag football is good.
05:43Money moves.
05:43Chaser locked in.
05:48Flag football.
05:48I didn't know it, but there's logic there because it's being introduced at the LA Olympics.
05:53That's the new sport coming in.
05:54All right. Thank you. Next question now.
05:57Mostly found in deserts and dry regions, the sun spider is also commonly known by what name?
06:04A, sand lobster.
06:06B, storm bug.
06:08C, wind scorpion.
06:18The sun spider.
06:19What do you reckon?
06:20It's a tough one. It was a bit of a guess, but I've gone wind scorpion.
06:24Locked in C.
06:26Wind scorpion.
06:26Correct answer is...
06:30Wind scorpion's good.
06:31Chaser locked in.
06:35Sand lobster.
06:36I thought it was a bit obvious, but obvious can sometimes be the right answer, and it was.
06:40Obvious cannot be so obvious sometimes, obviously.
06:42Oh, profound.
06:45Said no one ever. Question now.
06:48Which Daryl Braithwaite hit has the lyric,
06:51That's the way it's going to be, little darling.
06:53A, the horses.
06:55B, you're my world.
06:57C, one summer.
06:59Got it?
07:00It's a classic Aussie hit, isn't it?
07:03Absolutely it is.
07:04We should all know that one.
07:05We should.
07:05You locked in?
07:06A, the horses.
07:08The horses.
07:09Correct answer is...
07:13Yeah, everyone should know that one, two steps from home.
07:16And Issa put...
07:19The horses.
07:20And myself, Brydon and Parko have performed that song with him on stage at the Pair of Telethon a few
07:27years ago.
07:27Is that right?
07:28We'll be looking that up.
07:30Please don't.
07:31I'm up the back somewhere miming, pretending to know the words when I didn't know the words.
07:35What?
07:36No, I'm terrible.
07:37What did he say? Did he say he didn't know the words to the horse?
07:39No, no, he did know the words.
07:41I misspoke.
07:42Ooh.
07:43Question now.
07:45The term hedonism derives from the Greek word for what?
07:49A, bravery.
07:50B, pleasure.
07:52C, envy.
08:00Hedonism.
08:02A bit of a guess this one.
08:03I've gone with bravery.
08:05As a guess.
08:06As a guess, yeah.
08:07The correct answer is...
08:12Pleasure.
08:14Issa locked in?
08:17Pleasure.
08:18Unlucky.
08:19To be hedonistic is to enjoy pleasure, sometimes at the expense of others, but just immense pleasure.
08:25OK.
08:26Next question now.
08:28A best-selling book satirising stereotypes of masculinity is titled, Real Men Don't Eat What?
08:34A, cake.
08:36B, canapes.
08:38C, quiche.
08:45Real Men Don't Eat What?
08:47Are you a fan of any of those?
08:49Uh, I don't mind a little bit of chocolate cake, but, um, I've changed my guess.
08:53I went with C originally and I've changed to A, so...
08:56Why'd you do that?
08:57I don't know.
08:58I don't know.
08:58Just, uh, rolled off the tongue a bit better, I think.
09:01Real Men Don't Eat Cake.
09:03Correct answer is...
09:07You needed to stick with quiche.
09:09Yep.
09:09Chase are locked in.
09:13Quiche.
09:14And I watched your hand.
09:15It was hovering over sea and...
09:17And how human of me.
09:18I was going, press it, press it, but then I've got to remember what my role is.
09:21I've got to knock him out.
09:22Anne would have been like, no, move it.
09:24Yeah, watch it.
09:25Yeah.
09:26Here we go now, a question.
09:29Used by police, what is the more common name for a manacle?
09:33A, holster.
09:35B, baton.
09:37C, handcuff.
09:43Holster, baton, handcuff.
09:46Yeah, uh, I feel like I should know this one.
09:48I wanted to be a police officer when I was younger, but, I mean, manacle, maybe, handcuff, possibly?
09:53I haven't heard the term before.
09:55What'd you lock in?
09:56C.
09:57Locked in, handcuff.
09:58Put us on the doorstep at the bank, this would.
10:00Correct answer is...
10:03H, handcuff.
10:05Chaser locked in.
10:08H, handcuff.
10:10Question now.
10:11Hopefully last one.
10:13Ozempic and Wegovy are brand names of what drug?
10:16A, amoxicillin.
10:18B, paracetamol.
10:20C, semaglutide.
10:25Have you heard anything about this?
10:27Uh, believe amoxicillin and paracetamol are both painkillers.
10:32I've gone with C, ozempic.
10:35Locked in, semaglutide.
10:37That's what I meant to say, yep.
10:38Yep, that's right.
10:39For $6,000 and a seat, the final chase.
10:42Correct answer is...
10:46Well done, you are home, Michael.
10:48Very well done.
10:48We'll see you back there soon, mate.
10:51Nice run down the border to start us off.
10:52Very good run.
10:53Those drugs, massive news over the last year or so about weight loss.
10:57No loss here.
10:58Good gain, $6,000.
11:00Nice job.
11:00Jake is up next here on The Chase.
11:16Welcome back to the show, everybody.
11:17Michael back to the desk.
11:18Well done.

11:21Good, mate.
11:22You love yourself a punk band.
11:23Yes, I love punk music, yeah.
11:25Did you take your mum with you?
11:26Yeah, I took her to go see Limp Biscuit for her first ever concert, so you can only imagine
11:30how that was.
11:31What's mum's name?
11:32Her name's Mel, yeah.
11:33I feel like Mel would fit right in.
11:35She's only about like 4'11 and maybe like 30 kilos with her clothes wet, so she's a bit
11:40of nothing, but yeah, she loves it.
11:42She adores it, yeah.
11:43Now, you're new to F1, but you're right into it.
11:45Oh, I love it, yeah.
11:46One of my mates got me into it and just fell in love with it instantly.
11:49Have you been to any of the races?
11:51No, I endeavour to go to one, though, so...
11:53Where would you like to go?
11:54I like Suzuka in Japan, you know, it's like an old school track and all the legends raced
11:59it, so get there and...
12:01Here we go.
12:01One minute on the clock, $2,000 for every correct answer.

13:21Very well, thank you.
13:22And, well, you went to a punk show with your mum.
13:25Oh, mate, a few.
13:27Marvellous, marvellous.
13:28When I was young, mum and I went to a pastry festival.
13:31Yes, really, but it got rained out.
13:34Less limp biscuit, more soggy biscuit, Larry.
13:37All right, here's your money on the board right now.
13:39Five Steps From Home, $8,000.
13:42Low offer, please.
13:43I kind of got a laugh before I got to the punchline.
13:45Yeah, yeah.
13:45Low offer, $1,000.
13:48All right, here's your top offer.
13:49Let's ease it up to $30,000.
13:52Here we go.
13:54I usually back myself, but I think I'm just going to play it safe and I'll take the $8,000.
13:57All right, lose to one, lose to $30,000.
13:59And for $8,000, the chase is on.

14:06Good luck.
14:07A medical procedure that offers relief from excessive sweating in parts of the human body
14:12is known by what term?
14:15A. Empathectomy.
14:17B. Kindnessectomy.
14:20C. Sympathectomy.
14:27It's going to help stop excessive sweating.
14:31A. Yeah, well, I don't know.
14:32Empathectomy sounds a bit more believable than a sympathectomy and kindnessectomy, so.
14:37So you went with that?
14:37Yeah.
14:38Empathectomy.
14:39The correct answer is?
14:43Sympathectomy.
14:45Chase it locked in.
14:49Sympathectomy.
14:50All I know is that the word sympathetic, outside its obvious meaning, does have medical uses
14:54and just the other two sounded a bit strange.
14:56All right, I think the beast has had a kindnessectomy.
14:58As, as, yeah, at birth.
15:01Good question now.
15:04Which fruit name is derived from Latin words meaning apple with many seeds?
15:09A. Pomegranate.
15:10B. Tangerine.
15:12C. Cantaloupe.
15:16Apple with many seeds.
15:18I think pomegranate's got a few C's on it.
15:20You're locked in, eh?
15:20Yeah, that's the one.
15:21Correct answer is?
15:25Pomegranate's good, money moves.
15:26Chase are locked in.
15:30Pomegranate.
15:31Pomegranate.
15:31Nicely done.
15:32Tangerine is from Tangiers, a city in Morocco.
15:35And I think Cantaloupe might be a town in Italy or something like that, but you picked
15:39the right one.
15:39I don't know if that's a good enough answer, or something like that.
15:42That's my way of saying, we'll ease that in.
15:45It's a new part of the game, or something like that section.
15:48Question.

17:24You are our F1 guy in here, Tim.
17:26Yes, yes.
17:27You got this?

17:28So if you're racing like Monaco, you will want a high downforce package, so that's keeping
17:34you close to the ground.
17:35A high downforce package?
17:36High downforce package.
17:37All right.
17:37Correct answer is?
17:41Downforce.
17:43Let's see if Issa, who it's often said of him that he has a high downforce package,
17:48so I've heard, has locked in.
17:53Downforce.
17:54I thought you guys were trying to sell me insurance at some stage of that sort of terminology.
17:58I must ignore that.
17:59Question now.
18:01Let's keep moving.

19:08Yeah.
19:08I don't know.
19:09I was in between A or B.
19:11I went for Beguiled.
19:12Don't ask me why.
19:13I wouldn't be able to tell you.
19:14But...

19:45A little puzzle game.
19:46A rare case of a contestant being too young, I think, for a question in the early 2000s.
19:50That's the way we're going.
19:51I had to reduce the downforce package on this team, though, Larry.
19:54I'm not interested in that product.
19:57All right.
19:57Brookie is up next here on the chase.
19:58Don't go away.
20:00All right, Brookie.
20:02All right.
20:03All right.
20:03All right.
20:03All right.
20:03All right.
20:05All right.
20:06All right.
20:06All right.
20:06All right.
20:08All right.
20:13How are you, Brookie?
20:14Hey, Larry.
20:15How are you doing?
20:15Oh, good, Jake.
20:16Nearly, nearly got home there.
20:17Almost, yeah.
20:18Now, you're a bit of a hero, a champion, a world record holder.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Talk us through the world record.
20:23So, I became the first woman to ever run a marathon whilst dribbling a football.
20:27A whole marathon?
20:28A whole marathon.
20:29All 42.2 Ks.
20:31And just kicking the...
20:32Just with my feet along the strip at Glenelg Beach in Adelaide.
20:36Where did the idea even come from for that?
20:38I work in the child protection space, so I have a lot of passion when it comes to child
20:43protection.
20:43So, I do a little bit of volunteer work for Bravehearts.
20:47I did these marathons for Bravehearts, and I really wanted to amp up my fundraising, so
20:52I had this wild idea.
20:53I play football as well, so I had this bright idea that, oh, I wonder if I could dribble a
20:58football for a marathon.
20:59It can't be too hard.
21:00So, put my head down and finish the marathon.
21:03And huge crowd for you at the end, screaming and yelling.
21:06It would be a crowd at the end for me, screaming at the end, yeah.
21:08Oh, that's fun.
21:09What a terrific thing to do.
21:10You're a special lady, Brooke, and I'm lovely to meet you.
21:13Okay, one minute on the clock, $2,000 for every correct answer.

22:26Here comes the super nerd now.
22:34Hello, Brookie.
22:35Hi, Issa.
22:35How are you?
22:36Very well, thank you.
22:37And huge congratulations on your fundraising.
22:39Running a marathon whilst dribbling a football, just amazing.
22:42Amazing.
22:43If I was to do fundraising, I think I'd be looking at the Star Trek marathon whilst dribbling
22:48food down my lobster field.
22:50It's very similar to what we're talking about.
22:52It's equally difficult.
22:53Nice cash builder.
22:54Here's your money on the board right now.
22:56Let's get it.
22:56$12,000.
22:57Here's your low offer.
22:58$2,000.
22:59Okay.
23:00Now, here's your top offer now.
23:01All these numbers are climbing.
23:03$45,000.
23:06Look, I really want to get back to the desk.
23:09Okay.
23:09So I'm going to opt for the middle offer.
23:11All right.
23:11Let's do that.
23:12Lose the two.
23:12Lose the $45,000.
23:13And for $12,000, the chase is on.
23:19Here's your first question, Rookie.
23:22In 2025, the RBA announced a redesign of which banknote to celebrate First Nations people's
23:28connection to country?
23:30A, $5.
23:32B, $20.
23:33C, $100.
23:38Um...
23:41You were nearly on the wrong show then.
23:43No, it was always.
23:44Yes.
23:45I'm just going to yell out the answer.
23:48All right.
23:48What did you go with?
23:49Um, I think this coincided with the death of the Queen, so I've opted for the $5 note.
23:56Locked in, $5 note.
23:58Correct answer is...
24:02$5 note is right money moves.
24:04Chase are locked in.
24:08$5 note.
24:09I wasn't sure, so I'm all for the audience.
24:11Yeah, that's right.
24:11I wasn't...
24:13I'd miss that story, but it's good to know.
24:15He was like, oh, she knows it.
24:16I'm going, well, I'm doing what she did.
24:18All right, question now.
24:20A Spike Milligan book of nonsense poems is unspun socks from a chicken's what?
24:27A, laundry.
24:28B, shoe, C, mine.
24:37Ring any bells for you at all?
24:38I have no idea, but when you think about socks, I thought about laundry, so...
24:43Okay.
24:44Laundry.
24:45Correct answer is...
24:46Correct answer is...
24:49Laundry.
24:50Chase are locked in.
24:53Shoo, you made a funny little noise when the question came out.
24:56Well, I'm just glad it wasn't a rhyming title, that's all.
24:58But anyway...
25:24What was that third one again?
25:25Don't make me say it again.
25:26Oh, okay.
25:28Look, I just went straight to feeder.
25:31Yeah.
25:32Locked in feeder.
25:33Correct answer is...
25:38Feeder.
25:39Let's see what our resident farnacler locked in.
25:44Feeder.
25:45Yes.
25:46If you got the first one, I said there's a lawsuit soon approaching.
25:49And I have no idea what a farnacler is, but it's a great word.
25:53Yeah.
25:53Whatever it is.
25:54Let's hope we see more of that here on The Chase Australia.
25:56Next question.
25:59Who has been the longest-serving US First Lady?
26:03A, Jill Biden.
26:04B, Eleanor Roosevelt.
26:06C, Nancy Reagan.
26:12Issa went quick.
26:12I reckon he's got it.
26:13Where'd you go?
26:14I opted for Eleanor Roosevelt, and I have no idea why.
26:17That's an absolute guess.
26:18Okay.
26:19Locked in B.
26:19Correct answer is...
26:24Very good.
26:25Now on the doorstep of the bank.
26:26And Issa put...
26:30Eleanor Roosevelt.
26:31And it'll probably remain that way,
26:32because it was before they changed it to just two terms for the president.
26:36So Franklin D. Roosevelt actually won four terms,
26:39but completed three because he was very sick and died shortly after winning the fourth time.
26:43Okay, thank you.
26:44Straight run for you down the board so far.
26:46Let's get you home.
26:47Here's a question now.
26:50The workplace abbreviation CPD stands for continuing professional what?
27:04What did you go with here?
27:06I went with decline.
27:09Again, it's just a guess.
27:10Okay.
27:11I think that's how the producers describe my performance here.
27:14Continuing professional decline.
27:16Locked in.
27:17For $12,000 and a seat, the final choice.
27:20Best of luck to you.
27:21Correct answer is...
27:25Development.
27:27Chaser locked in.
27:30Development.
27:31It's the next rank up from CPBF,
27:34the continuing professional bottom feeder and then the decline.
27:38The Farnakla, I think.
27:39The Farnakla.
27:40I forgot about that rank.
27:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:42All right.
27:42Let's try again.
27:43Get you home with this question now.
27:45In Western dining etiquette, placing a knife and fork parallel to each other on a plate
27:50customarily signals what?
27:53A.
27:54Dissatisfaction.
27:55B.
27:56Just pausing.
27:57C.
27:58Meal finished.
28:01Confident push of that button.
28:02Yeah, I was always taught to put my knife and fork together when I was finished my meal.
28:07So that's what you've done here and you've locked in?
28:09Uh, C.
28:10C.
28:10Yeah.
28:11Here comes your $12,000 if you're right.
28:13Correct answer is...
28:17Put your knife and fork together.
28:18You're done here.
28:19Brookie, very well done.
28:20Back to the TV girl.
28:21We'll see you soon in the final chase.
28:23All right, nice run down the board.
28:24Very convincing.
28:25Good job there, Brookie.
28:26Finished her meal.
28:27Let the meal settle and then final chase for dessert.
28:30All right, Julia is up next here on The Chase.
28:32Don't go away.
28:34Nice job.
28:35That was a really good one.
28:37Good job.
28:47Welcome back.
28:47Brookie back at the desk.
28:48Now, nice job.
28:49$18,000 in the bank.
28:50Hi, Julia.
28:51Hello, Larry.
28:52Lovely to see you.
28:53You had a moment at the 2000 Olympics, yeah?
28:55Yeah, I did.
28:56I was part of like a reporting team at the very end at the finish line during the athletics.
29:00So it was a great event to be at and was able to witness that incredible race.
29:05Cathy Freeman.
29:06Yes.
29:07You were right there.
29:08Right there, you know.
29:08What was that?
29:09Talk us through that moment.
29:10Yeah, I think it was amazing.
29:11I mean, it was, the whole world was captivated by it.
29:13And of course, I think, well, I certainly didn't know that she was going to come out in that incredible
29:17lycra, you know, suit.
29:19Yes.
29:19Of course, she just smashed it and there was all that sort of competition, I think, with the American runner
29:22as well.
29:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:23Incredible atmosphere and amazing.
29:25And I must say, then, recently, we've renamed one of the stands out there, the Cathy Freeman stand.
29:31What a memory.
29:32What a moment for you.
29:33All right, let's go.
29:33One minute on the clock, $2,000 for every correct answer.
29:36Best of luck, Julia.
29:37And your time starts now.

30:45All right, here comes a super nerd now.
30:52Hello, Julia.
30:53Hello, super nerd.
30:54How are you?
30:55Very well, thanks.
30:56And, well, I remember watching that Cathy Freeman race back at Sydney 2000.
31:00Oh, so exciting, wasn't it?
31:01Yes.
31:01I remember feeling so tense that when she crossed the line, I tore both my hamstrings.
31:07And that was the end of my Olympic career right there, Larry.
31:10Right there.
31:10That's where it ended.
31:11All right, here's your money on the board right now.
31:13Very nice cash bill of $14,000.
31:15Low offer?
31:16$2,000.
31:17And here's your top offer now.
31:18Keeping in mind, Brookie had room to move in her round, $50,000.
31:23Ooh.
31:24Oh, that's unfair.
31:26All right, well, $5.
31:28I'm fair to give me the temptation.
31:31Is it tempting enough for you to take it, though?
31:34No, I'm usually living on the edge.
31:36But I'm not going to live on the edge.
31:37I'm doing $14,000 because I want to get back there and I want to take it to the end
31:43and be part of the final chase.
31:44All right, let's do it.
31:45Lose the two, lose the $50,000.
31:47And for $14,000.
31:48The chase is on.
31:52Here's your first question.

32:14Correct answer is...
32:17Insects is right.
32:18Money moves.
32:19Chaser locked in.
32:23Insects.
32:24Entomology, study of insects and anything phagy means to eat.
32:27Okay, thank you.
32:28Question now.
32:29Mm-hmm.
32:31The 70s Japanese TV show Monkey is based on a 16th century Chinese novel titled Journey to the what?
32:39A. Moon.
32:41B. West.
32:43C. Self.
32:47Journey to the what?
32:50Okay, I did West.
32:53I'm thinking West, but then again, maybe being Chinese 16th century history, it could have been to the self.
33:00But anyway, what is locked in is locked in.
33:02Correct answer is...
33:06West is right.
33:08Chaser locked in.
33:12Yes, there were four classic Chinese novels of the 16th century, and this one's by someone called Wu Cheng In.
33:18But Monkey, the TV series, I never knew.
33:21I watched it as a kid, and I never knew it had all this history behind it, but it does.
33:24All right, thank you.

33:50Again, trying to do it...
33:52Were you doing it?
33:52...in my heels.
33:54Locked in calf.
33:55Correct answer is...
33:59Calf is right.
34:01Chaser locked in.

35:32Logic here.
35:33Big league meaning baseball.
35:35Chew meaning bubblegum.
35:37C for me.
35:38Big league chew.
35:40Correct answer is...
35:44Big league chew is good.
35:47Chaser locked in.
35:50Big league chew.
35:51Looking good here, Julia, I think.
35:52Good logic.
35:53Good sensible answers.
35:54Not what a chaser wants in the final, Larry.
35:56Do something about it, please.
35:57No, we love it.
35:58We love it.
35:59Let's get you home.
35:59Question now.
36:01What alternative health treatment was founded on the principle that...
36:05Like cures like.

36:33For $14,000 and a seat right next to Brookie in the final chase.
36:36Correct answer is...
36:41You've done it.
36:42Very well done, Julia.
36:43We'll see you back for a final chase.
36:45Nice run down the board.
36:46Did you get that?
36:46I did, honestly.
36:47I know you never see it, but I really did.
36:49But I don't think they need any health treatment at the moment, Larry.
36:52They are on form.
36:53Old fist pumping as well.
36:55$32,000 before firepower, so they've got some money to spend.
36:58Yes.
36:59But hopefully they'll get a good target on their own so they don't have to dip into the bank.
37:02All right, let's see what happens here.
37:03Up next, my team will play their final chase, but first, let's check in with the newsroom.
37:10Thank you to the newsroom for that.
37:12It's time for the final chase.
37:16This is where things get exciting.
37:18No matter how many steps my team get here, the chaser may have a special firepower offer
37:23to boost their game.
37:24Extra steps, but it will cost them.
37:26It is a huge gamble.
37:28Team, are you good to go?
37:30Yes.
37:30All right, three of you left.
37:31That's a three-step head start.
