00:00Four strangers, one goal, outrun The Chaser.
00:03Wait, The Chaser's got a game-changer.
00:06Cash for steps.
00:08Will they grab the firepower they need
00:09or fall short in the final chase?
00:12The chase is on.
00:21Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Chase Australia.
00:24So who are these four courageous contenders
00:26taking on tonight's chaser?
00:28Let's meet them.
00:29G'day, I'm James.
00:30On the hockey field, I'm chasing balls,
00:32but tonight, I'm chasing steps.
00:35Hi, I'm Sarah, and if there's any type of sport on,
00:38I'm watching it,
00:38especially if I'm competing against my English husband.
00:42Hi, I'm Liv, and I'm in the top 0.01%
00:45of Taylor Swift listeners on Spotify.
00:47Hi, I'm Mayan.
00:49I'm trivia obsessed,
00:50and every week I compete in high-stakes trivia against my mum.
00:53OK, so my team's all set, but in pursuit is The Chaser.
00:56Now, if they get caught, the money is gone,
00:58and so are they,
00:59but if they make it through,
01:00they could share in a huge cash prize.
01:03Now, everyone must face The Chaser,
01:04and tonight, James is first up.
01:09Hiya, James.
01:10Nice to see you.
01:11Lovely to be here, Larry.
01:12Who pushed you into this?
01:14My younger daughter, Sassy Cat,
01:15was sitting on the couch at home,
01:17playing along for a few times with her,
01:19sitting in my arms,
01:20suggested, you know,
01:21Dad, you're pretty good at this.
01:22You should have a crack at it.
01:23And so here I am.
01:24And you can't say no to your youngest daughter?
01:26Absolutely not.
01:27Army man?
01:29No, certainly am.
01:30Yeah, and you've travelled around a bit too?
01:31I have, all over.
01:33So, with the money, if you win tonight,
01:34what would you like to do?
01:35I'd love to take my gorgeous wife on a holiday.
01:37That'd be fantastic.
01:38All right, ready to go?
01:39I most certainly am.
01:40One minute on the clock, $2,000 for every correct answer.
01:43James, best of luck to you.
01:44Thank you, Larry.

02:47Ooh.

02:53Ooh.
02:53Ooh, that is extraordinary.
02:55Your daughter was right to push you in here.
02:57I gather that's you excited.
03:02Still coming to terms with it.
03:03I'm sure my daughter's horribly excited.
03:05That is a fabulous result.
03:07$20,000.
03:08Now, we've got to get it past the chaser, and we'll find out who that is right after the break.
03:11Great start.
03:17Yeah.
03:26Welcome back to The Chase, everybody.
03:27What an opening round from James.
03:29$20,000 in a cash bill.
03:31You'd be feeling pretty happy with that.
03:32Not something I do very often on the couch, Larry.
03:34I'll tell you that much.
03:35Now, do you have a favourite chaser when you're playing at home?
03:37Goliath is my favourite chaser.
03:39A sense of humour and a sense of humility when he plays and is really under stress, so...
03:45Who are we going to be facing?
03:46Could it be a shark?
03:47He doesn't bite.
03:48He just humiliates you with perfect grammar.
03:51Or Goliath.
03:52His version of calm down looks a lot like a thunderstorm.
03:57A tiger mum.
03:57She raised her kids on discipline and Duolingo streaks that shame us all.
04:02Or Professor, under the bright lights, his shiny head steals the spotlight.
04:06A super nerd, the only time he loses focus is when he's looking at the living Newton John.
04:12You're good to go.
04:13As ready as I'll be, Larry.
04:14Here we go.
04:15Release the chaser.
04:19It's the super nerd.
04:28Hello, James.
04:29G'day, sir.
04:30How are you, sir?
04:31Very well, thank you indeed.
04:32And like you, I've travelled the world, but I wasn't in the army.
04:35I was in the navy.
04:36I travelled the seven seas.
04:38In the navy, where I put my mind at ease.
04:41Oh, hang on a sec.
04:42No, I've confused myself.
04:43I was in the Macho Man Village People Tribute Band, Larry.
04:47Silly me.
04:48Hello, Isa.
04:49Hello.
04:49Good to see you.
04:50All right, let's put that whopping $20,000 on the board now.
04:53At this point, five steps from home.
04:55Low offer, please.
04:56$4,000.
04:58Have a look at your chop offer.
05:00As Larry said, your daughter was right.
05:02Sounds like he's pitching a new game show title there.
05:04Yeah.
05:04But anyway, $60,000.
05:07Hmm.
05:08That is exceedingly tempting to take, but this is the weakest part of my game sitting on the
05:13couch at home, Larry.
05:15Right.
05:15I think the middle offer is what I'll take.
05:17Chase the 20?
05:18Absolutely.
05:19Lose the four.
05:20Lose the $60,000.
05:21And for $20,000, the chase is on.
05:28Here's your first question.
05:29Good luck.
05:31In the mid-1800s, the fabled character Bogong Jack found fame in Victoria as a what?
05:38A. Poet.
05:39B. Flemington jockey.
05:42Z. Bushranger.
05:48Bogong Jack.
05:49A locked-in A. Poet.
05:51A locked-in poet.
05:52Correct answer is...
05:55Bushranger.
05:57Issa locked in.
06:00Bushranger.
06:01Next question.
06:04The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution from 1919 states the right to vote shall not be
06:10denied on account of what?
06:12A. Sex.
06:14B. Race.
06:16C. Faith.
06:20Another quick button push from the chaser here.
06:22What'd you go with?
06:24Around that time reminds me of the suffragette movement.
06:27Okay.
06:28I put sex.
06:30A.
06:31Okay, locked-in sex.
06:33Correct answer is...
06:37Yeah, money moves.
06:39Chase are locked in.
06:42Sex.
06:44Next question now.
06:47The lyrics to the iconic SunSmart jingle, Slip Slop Slap, were written by which broadcaster?
06:53A. Steve Vizard.
06:54B. Amanda Keller.
06:56C. Philip Adams.
07:00What do you think?
07:02A. Steve Vizard.
07:03Steve Vizard.
07:04Correct answer here is...
07:08Philip Adams.
07:10Super nerd locked in.
07:14Philip Adams.
07:16Now, here's a problem.
07:17Indeed.
07:18You're used to problems in your work and you've got to get out of this one.
07:22Question now.
07:24Comedian Steve Martin is also an accomplished player of which instrument?
07:28A. Banjo.
07:30B. Bongos.
07:31C. Clarinet.
07:36Really, really important question to get.
07:38Pretty sure that I've seen Steve Martin in public playing an instrument.
07:44Yes.
07:44Pretty sure that that was the banjo.
07:46Okay.
07:46Locked-in banjo and I hope that you're right.
07:48To move that money away from the chaser, correct answer is...
07:55Good one to get.
07:56Money moves.
07:57Chase are locked in.
08:01Banjo.
08:02Yes, the wild and crazy guy.
08:04The genius that is Steve Martin.
08:06Accomplished is an understatement.
08:07I would say it's probably just as good as his comedic talents and his acting.
08:11Yeah.
08:11He's just one of those jack-of-all-trades sort of guys.
08:13All right.
08:14Question.
08:16Megamonster is a children's book by UK comedian and author David Who.
08:20A. Mitchell.
08:22B. Baddiel.
08:24C. Wallumes.
08:29Quick, quick, quick.
08:31Quick.
08:31Oh.
08:32It was nearly timed out there.
08:33Be careful with that, please.
08:35Yeah.
08:36Where'd you go?
08:37I went with the first answer, Mitchell.
08:40Yeah.
08:41It rings a bell I'm familiar with.
08:42I think a UK comedian named Dave Mitchell.
08:45Critical one to get.
08:47The correct answer is...
08:52Oh.
08:52Oh.
08:53Oh, volumes.
08:55If Issa has locked in volumes, he's knocked you out.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Hopefully he's missed it.
09:03Chaser has put.
09:08Oh, no.
09:09We needed you back there, James.
09:11I needed to be back there, too.
09:12I'm very sorry, mate.
09:13It was lovely to meet you.
09:14Thank you so much for coming.
09:15Thank you very much.
09:16Thank you very much.
09:17Oh.
09:18He would have been fantastic in the final chase.
09:20That's a major one to take out already.
09:23In seat one.
09:24Massive talent there.
09:25It was a bit unlucky because there is an author called David Mitchell, and there's the comedian
09:29David Mitchell, who writes as well, but neither of those.
09:33This is Little Britain fame, David Walliams.
09:35He does loads of children's books.
09:36Yes.
09:37That's one of at least a dozen that he's written.
09:39Oh, we miss James already.
09:41Sarah is up next here on The Chase.
09:43Oh, no.
09:45He was a powerhouse.
09:57Welcome back.
09:58We're still very, very sad to lose James.
09:59What a power player.
10:01Sorry to say goodbye.
10:02Hiya, Sarah.
10:03Hi, Larry.
10:03How are you?
10:04Good.
10:04Lovely to see you.
10:05You too.
10:05Now, it looks like we've got something going on here.
10:07Yes.
10:08Yes.
10:09What's cooking?
10:10Yeah, we're due in a few months.
10:12Yeah.
10:13So, yeah, just starting to buy all the car seats and baby clothes and things like that
10:19that we'll need.
10:20So, yeah.
10:21So, family and friends don't know gender yet?
10:23No, they don't.
10:24Should we do the coolest and most epic gender reveal in history?
10:27I'd love that.
10:28I'd love that.
10:28All right.
10:29The floor of The Chase Australia is all yours.
10:32All right, everybody.
10:33It's a...
10:34It's a boy.
10:35Blooper boy.
10:39Named Larry.
10:42How exciting.
10:43Well done.
10:44All right.
10:44Now, are you ready to play?
10:46Yes.
10:46Or do you need a moment?
10:47No, I think I'm ready.
10:48I think I'm ready.
10:49All right.
10:50One minute on the clock.
10:51$2,000 for every correct answer.
10:53Best of luck.

12:01$14,000.
12:02Well done.
12:03Oh, my gosh.
12:04Are you ready to meet Super Nerd?
12:05I am.
12:06All right.
12:06Turn the set red.
12:07Here he comes.
12:14Hello, Sarah.
12:15Hi, Issa.
12:15How are you?
12:16Very well, thank you, and congratulations on your baby news.
12:19Really marvellous.
12:20My parents did a gender reveal just before I was born, and the colour that came up was
12:24puce.
12:25Weirdly, it turned out to be on the money, Larry.
12:28It's bang on, so I'm a puce baby.
12:31All right, here's your money now on the board.
12:33Great cash builder.
12:34$14,000.
12:35Lots going on down here.
12:36So, low offer.
12:37$2,000.
12:39Here's your top offer now.
12:40Now, this is quite generous for a $14,000 cash builder.
12:44Consider it a baby bonus.
12:45$50,000.
12:47Oh, wow.
12:48Okay.
12:49What would you like to do?
12:51Oh, seeing what happened to James.
12:53I think I'm going to have to go the middle offer.
12:55Okay, lose the two.
12:57Lose the $50,000, and for $14,000, the chase is on.
13:04Here is your first question.
13:06Good luck.
13:07The archaic legal term common of Piscary concerns the right to do what in certain waters?
13:14A. Swim.
13:15B. Fish.
13:17C. Row your boat.
13:19Common of Piscary.
13:21I think it could possibly be swim.
13:25I feel like Piscary and swimming, similar words in French.
13:31Okay.
13:32I think.
13:33All right.
13:34Let's put that to the test.
13:35You locked in.
13:36Swim.
13:37Correct answer is...
13:41Fish.
13:43Chase are locked in.
13:47Fish.
13:47Unlucky.
13:48The star signs might have helped.
13:50Pisces is the same origin, and they're a pair of fish.
13:52I think notation is the old term for swimming, so that might have helped there.
13:56But I do love the idea of, you know, row, row, row.
13:58Oh, have you got approval for that?
14:02Next question now.
14:04What name is commonly given to a soft, absorbent fabric used for beach wear?
14:09A. Terry Toweling.
14:11B. Tony Toweling.
14:13C. Tina Toweling.
14:16He might have an advantage here, given the super nerd has never, ever been to the beach
14:20in his life.
14:22I love the concept of Tina Toweling, but I believe it's Terry Toweling.
14:28I'd buy that album from Tina Toweling.
14:31Locked in, Terry Toweling.
14:32Correct answer is...
14:35Terry Toweling.
14:36Money move.
14:37Chase are locked in.
14:40Terry Toweling.
14:41And you're right, I'm not a beach person at all.
14:43We have beaches back in Cornwall, but there's just lots of pebbles and not much sand.
14:47You didn't even have to say that.
14:48You didn't even have to say, I'm not a beach person.
14:50You just knew.
14:51With this colour of skin, absolutely not.
14:53But if you went to the beach, you'd wear that still, right?
14:56Oh, yeah.
14:57Well, what else would I wear?
14:58Absolutely.
14:58Question now.
15:02The international brand of smart doorbell cameras, Ring, was originally called what?
15:08A.
15:09DoorBot.
15:10B.
15:11Endor.
15:12C.
15:13DoorRae Me.
15:17What do you think?
15:18Again, another guess.
15:20I've gone with A.
15:22DoorBot.
15:22Locked in, DoorBot.
15:23Correct answer is, DoorBot.
15:28Money moves.
15:29Chase are locked in.
15:32Yeah, DoorBot.
15:33Yes, Ring, or as I call it, source of many amusing Instagram videos.
15:37Yeah.
15:37All those people delivering mail, falling over fences, all sorts of things.
15:40All right, next question now.
15:43A classic English Bakewell tart is made with short crust pastry, jam, and which filling?
15:49A.
15:50Mascarpone.
15:51B.
15:52Toblerone.
15:53C.
15:54Frangipan.
16:02What do you think?
16:03I wish it was Toblerone.
16:05I think that would be fantastic.
16:05How could it be?
16:06That would be, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:07I was teetering between mascarpone and frangipan.
16:12And I remember it being quite solid, so I went with frangipan, because I think mascarpone's
16:16quite soft.
16:17Okay, locked in, frangipan.
16:18Yes.
16:18The correct answer is...
16:22Frangipan.
16:24Chase are locked in.
16:28Wow.
16:29Mascarpone, aren't you...
16:30Yes, I'm English.
16:32Sorry, I'm just confirming you're not putting that accent on for the show.
16:36Oh, I've been caught.
16:37This is Derbyshire, which is up in the Midlands, and I'm Cornish, so I'm waiting for you.
16:40It's way down...
16:42It's too far north for me, but I've never had a bank built up.
16:44Excuses, excuses.
16:45Yeah, excuses.
16:46I know.
16:47Excuses, excuses.
16:47Excuses, excuses.
16:48Arbyshire.
16:48All right, next question now.
16:50Which musical term signifies a note to be played with a shortened duration?
16:55A, tenuto.
16:56B, legato.
16:58C, staccato.
17:02Testing me here.
17:03Music isn't my forte.
17:05I have gone with C, staccato, because it sounds the shortest.
17:10Okay, correct answer is...
17:15Staccato.
17:17Was there enough information around your part of England to answer this question?
17:21I think it's universal.
17:22Yeah, okay, that's fine then.
17:24All right, Chase, you're locked in.
17:27Staccato.
17:28I was amused by your probably accidental pan.
17:31Music isn't my forte.
17:32That was amusing me, though.
17:35All right, let's get you home here.
17:37For $14,000 and a seat in the final chase, here's your question now.
17:56I think Samos might be a Greek island, so I've gone with C.
18:01Okay, locked in Greek.
18:02For a seat in the final chase, in fact, to open up the account.
18:05Correct answer is...
18:09It's a boy!
18:11Well done.
18:12Congratulations.
18:12Thank you, Ryan.
18:13You are home.
18:13Stick with me right here.
18:15Thank you, Peter.
18:15A great player and some room to spare.
18:18I'm very happy for you.
18:19I'm not going to knock out an expectant mother who will need the money, no doubt,
18:23when child comes along.
18:24Enjoy and relax and see you in the final.
18:26Thanks, Esa.
18:28He says that.
18:28He wouldn't knock you out in a heartbeat, but nice to say it.
18:32He knows me too well, doesn't he?
18:35Liv is up next to you on the chase.
18:36Don't go away.
18:39Oh, my God.
18:51And welcome back to The Chase, everybody.
18:53Sarah, congratulations to you.

18:57Hiya, Liv.
18:58Hi.
18:58You're not just a Swifty.
18:59You are a super-duper, super-Swifty.
19:01I mean, there's lots of Swifties around, so I would say I'm at the sort of top end of
19:06Swifty level, but I'm definitely not the biggest Swifty in the world.
19:09Favourite Taylor Swift song?
19:10You're asking me to choose, like, a favourite child or something.
19:12I'm sorry.
19:13Okay, I take that back.
19:13Yeah, that's too personal.
19:15Do you want to do a gender reveal?
19:16Because we're set up for that.
19:17Okay, now, if you win some money, Liv, what are you going to do with that?
19:20Well, there's this random thing that I've always sort of had in mind of going to the
19:25Atacama Desert to stargaze.
19:27I think I saw it in a geography textbook when I was in school.
19:30Right.
19:30Yeah, I've just sort of had this thing in my mind, so, yeah.
19:33Stuck with you.

20:47Here comes Super No Man.
20:54Hello, Liv.
20:55Hello, Issa.
20:56Now, you're a Taylor Swift fan, which makes you a Swifty.
20:59I'm a big Kate Bush fan, and when I met her, stay with me.
21:06When I met her, I told her I was a big bushy.
21:09And anyway, Larry, after her bodyguards beat me up, I realised I probably need to come up
21:13with another name.
21:15I knew I'd lose you early.
21:18Here's your money on the board.
21:20Tremendous cash builder from you.
21:22$18,000.
21:23Rare result.
21:24Low offer.
21:25Sorry about that, Liv.
21:26Anyway, $3,000.
21:29Sorry, not sorry.
21:30Here's your top offer.
21:31This is my third big offer of the day.
21:34$55,000.
21:35I'm throwing this money around, Larry.
21:37You really are.
21:38And you've got some big travel plans.
21:39So, what are you going to do?
21:40I mean, $55,000 is...
21:43I can't even comprehend, like, that amount of money.
21:45I want to give it a crack, but not with the $55,000.
21:48I think I'll go the $18,000, please.
21:49Sure.
21:51Yeah.
21:51Lose the $3,000, lose the $55,000.
21:53And for $18,000, the chase is on.
21:59Here's your first question.
22:00Good luck.
22:02The competitive sport quad ball is derived from which fictional game?
22:07A. The Jarek.
22:09B. Quidditch.
22:10C. Jumanji.
22:13Got this?
22:14I'm a big Harry Potter fan.
22:17Okay.
22:17So, I mean, quad ball, I really thought Quidditch.
22:20So, we'll see.
22:22Locked in, Quidditch.
22:23Correct answer is...
22:28Quidditch is good.
22:29Money moves.
22:29Chase are locked in.
22:33Quidditch.
22:33Yes, it used to be called Quidditch, but they renamed to distance themselves from various
22:38comments made by the author.
22:40So, now it's quad ball.
22:41Okay, thank you.
22:42Next question now.
22:44What is a term for a military shoulder belt with pockets or loops for carrying ammunition?
22:49A. Carabiner.
22:51B. Bandolier.
22:53C. Escalier.
23:00A shoulder belt.
23:02I mean, I really wish James were up here right now, but the only one I've heard of is Carabiner.
23:08And I know that Carabiner, you can attach things because it's a loop.
23:12Yeah.
23:12So, I just tried to go quickly because Escalier looked a little bit unsure too.
23:16Okay.
23:17That's his normal resting carabiner.
23:19I locked in A.
23:20Locked in Carabiner.
23:21Correct answer is...
23:25B. Bandolier is what we needed.
23:27Chase are locked in.
23:31B. Bandolier.
23:32You're right, I wasn't sure.
23:33It was a bit of a guess.
23:34All right, question now.
23:36A hit for Ariana Grande was break up with your girlfriend, I'm what?
23:42A. Single.
23:44B. Prettier.
23:45C. Bored.
23:48A. Single.
23:49B. Prettier.
23:50C. Bored.
23:52We know you're a Swifty.
23:53Are you a...
23:54Grande?
23:55Yeah, I don't know what their word is.
23:57I know this song, so I was pretty confident with this, but I was surprised because I didn't
24:00answer first.
24:01I think Esa did.
24:02And why does that surprise you?
24:03I didn't think he was a big pop fan, but apparently...
24:05I'm a big baby.
24:07Very hip.
24:08What did you go with?
24:09I went with C. Bored.
24:10Locked in Bored.
24:11Correct answer is...
24:14Money moves with that.
24:16Ariana Grande's number one fan up there has locked in...
24:21Bored.
24:22I've been known to keep the ARIA top 100 charts open on a tab on my computer, on a little
24:28list there.
24:29Don't listen to the songs, just look at the list.
24:30Research.
24:31Interesting.
24:32Okay.
24:32Question now.
24:34Not for his ability to lure others into sleep, Somnus is the Roman equivalent of which Greek
24:41god?
24:41A.
24:43Hades.
24:44B.
24:45Hypnos.
24:46C.
24:47Hermes.
24:48Got it?
24:49Well, I have to admit, I was a pretty big Percy Jackson fan when I was younger, which is
24:53the sort of modern adaptations of Greek and Roman mythology.
24:57Right.
24:57Yes.
24:58So I think the option has to be B, Hypnos.
25:00Hypnos.
25:00Correct answer is...
25:04Hypnos is right.
25:06Two steps from home.
25:06Chaser locked in.
25:09Hypnos.
25:10Very comprehensive answer.
25:12Hades, Pluto would be the Roman equivalent.
25:14The underworld, Hermes, Mercury.
25:16You're nodding because I know you know.
25:18There's no point in me explaining it to you.
25:19And they're the...
25:20You may not know.
25:21So I'll explain that to you.
25:23I'm nodding as well.
25:25I apologise.
25:25I take that back.
25:27Well done.
25:28Good question.
25:32In the 18th century, the quote, to err is human, to forgive, divine, was made famous
25:37by a person from what profession?
25:40A, highwayman.
25:42B, poet.
25:44C, politician.
25:50I think Issa has got this one.
25:51He went real quick.
25:52Yeah.
25:52What did you go with?
25:53The pressure's on.
25:54I don't know what a highwayman is, so I didn't pick A.
25:58I mean, it could be a politician's speech, but I think it's quite beautiful language, so
26:04I went with B, poet.
26:05OK.
26:05Locked in, poet.
26:06Put us right on the doorstep of the bank.
26:08Correct answer is...
26:11Poet and the money moves.
26:13Super nerd locked in.
26:17Poet.
26:18Yes, I think the poet's name was Alexander Pope, and that quote, just after I insulted
26:22you that last question, to err is human, to forgive, divine?
26:26No.
26:27Oh, I'm out.
26:29This is my last show, ladies and gentlemen.
26:30It's been a real pleasure.
26:31It's been fun.
26:32It's been fun.
26:34Hopefully your last question here gets you back for a final chase right next to Sarah.
26:37Question.
26:40Often referencing a harsh noise, a common idiom meaning to irritate or annoy someone is to
26:46set their teeth on what?
26:49A. Fire.
26:50B. Vibrate.
26:52C. Edge.
26:59To set their teeth on fire, vibrate, or edge?
27:03I mean, surely it's not vibrate.
27:05We're not talking about a phone, so...
27:07Surely.
27:08Surely.
27:08Um, and then set their teeth on fire.
27:11I don't know, maybe their head on fire sounds better, so I went with edge.
27:16To set their teeth on edge.
27:18Proceed in the final chase.
27:20Correct answer is...
27:24Edge is right, and you have done it.
27:27You've surprised yourself with that.
27:28Yeah, I absolutely have.
27:29Very well done.
27:30Back you go.
27:30That's a terrific amount over there.
27:32We'll see you in the final chase.
27:33Lovely contestant.
27:34This is going okay.
27:34It is going well for your team, Larry.
27:36Some good money there after two through.
27:40I'm just a bit dazed, because Liv, there was some very good knowledge there,
27:43some good explanations, which shows that they're not just guessing,
27:45they know it.
27:46Yeah.
27:47Chasers don't like that.
27:49We love it.
27:50Mine is up next here on The Chase.
27:51Don't go away.
27:53APPLAUSE
28:06Welcome back.
28:06What a show.
28:07Liv, nice job.
28:08$32,000 now in the bank.
28:10Mine high.
28:10Hey, how are you going, Larry?

28:15Yeah, I'm all about it.
28:16I go every week with my mum.
28:18I've been going since I was in year five, so it's about ten years now.
28:21And, yeah, I just can't get enough of it, honestly.
28:24So, strong topics for you?
28:26Yeah, I love pop culture.
28:27Yeah.
28:27I love movies, TV.
28:28I've been getting into music recently as well.
28:31But I always drop the ball on cricket and rugby and Aussie sports like that.
28:34OK, well, you're in good company with a super nerd then.
28:36All right, now, you want to learn Navajo?
28:38Yeah, there's a lot of protected languages right now that are kind of endangered
28:41because no one's speaking them anymore.
28:42Yes.
28:42And I'd love to go to America and spend some time learning some protected languages.
28:46Oh, nice one.
28:47OK, now, just before we go, any baby news you want to share?
28:49We've just got a little light set up.
28:50You can't tell, but I actually am quite pregnant.

28:52So I'm hoping for a big offer up there.
28:54Here we go.
28:54One minute on the clock.
28:55$2,000 for every correct answer.

30:10Here comes the Super Nerd now.
30:11All right.
30:17Hey, sir.
30:18Hello, Mayan.
30:19How are you?
30:19I'm good.
30:20How are you?
30:20Very well indeed.
30:21And well, congratulations on the baby news.
30:23Yeah, I don't know.
30:24Mum will be pleased when she watches.
30:26Oh, she won't be pleased with me.
30:28Now, like you, I'm learning protected languages.
30:30In fact, I'm already fluent in Elvish and Klingon.
30:33The languages aren't protected.
30:35Us nerds use them to stay protected.
30:37It's our males speaking their monosyllabic.
30:40All right.
30:40Here's your money on the board.
30:42Great cash builder from you.
30:44$18,000.
30:45Low offer?
30:46$3,000.
30:47Here's your top offer now.
30:48Now, this sort of money can really make a difference to a youngster like you.
30:53$55,000.
30:54Now, Larry, I've offered about $220,000 in the main game today.
30:59I can't remember the last time I've done that.
31:01Yeah, yeah.
31:01It's an exceptional team.
31:02What are you going to do?
31:04Team, what do you guys think?
31:06Sorry, can I just cut in there?
31:07Yeah.
31:08That's my job.
31:08Team, what do you think?
31:11I think whatever you think to get you back here, we need you on this.
31:14Team, go with your instinct.
31:16I reckon I'm going to take the three.
31:18You okay with that low offer?
31:19Get him back to the desk.
31:20Play a strategic game.
31:21Yes?
31:22Yep.
31:22Lose the 18.
31:24Lose the $55,000.
31:27And for $3,000, the chase is on.
31:32Here's your first question.
31:33Good luck.
31:35In 2025, West Australian MP Kyle McGinn performed what act during his farewell speech to Parliament?
31:43A, a shooey.
31:45B, a flash mob.
31:46C, a plank.
31:51Wow.
31:53What do you think?
31:55Well, I wanted to put the pressure on Issa, but I also think a plank is like not that impressive.
31:59I feel like in Parliament no one's going to care.
32:01A flash mob.
32:02Are you allowed to bring that many people into Parliament?
32:05Good question.
32:05So I reckon a shooey.
32:06I don't know if you're allowed to bring drinks, but you might just drink water out of your shoe.
32:09I don't know.
32:09Okay.
32:10Locked in a shooey.
32:11Correct answer is?
32:15A shooey is good and the money moves.
32:17Chase are locked in.
32:20Yeah, shooey.
32:21Only in Australia.
32:23That's all I'm going to say.
32:24Only in Australia.
32:25Next question.
32:27The popular puzzle named Sudoku comes from a Japanese saying meaning, the numbers must remain what?
32:33A, single.
32:35B, hidden.
32:37C, together.
32:40Got this?
32:41I mean, I study Japanese, however, I am not familiar with the old Japanese saying.
32:47Okay.
32:47The numbers must remain something.
32:48So I went with single because Sudoku, you can't have multiple in the same grid.
32:53They've got to be one in a line, so I don't know.
32:58Okay.
32:59Are you all right?
32:59I had a voice crack.
33:00That's right.
33:01That's on TV.
33:04Can I just say, as older men, we were happy to be here for that moment for you.
33:11Correct answer is?
33:15Single is good money moves.
33:16Chase are locked in.
33:20Single.
33:21I'm a momentous show.
33:22We've got a gender reveal.
33:23We've got men becoming men.
33:25We've got all sorts of things going on here.
33:27I've heard about a thing called puberty.
33:29Is that happening soon?
33:29Do you know?
33:30Soon.
33:30Soon.
33:31All right.
33:31I'm still waiting, so I'm, again, no good to you.
33:34Same boat.
33:35All right.
33:35Two steps from home now.
33:36Question.
33:37A dreamtime tale where a fleeing tribesman, Wyamba, falls into water with a shield depicts the creation of what animal?
33:45Turtle.
33:46A. Turtle.
33:47B. Pelican.
33:48C. Kangaroo.
33:52Oh.
33:53Oh.
33:53Uh-oh.
33:56Oh.
33:56Just in time.
33:58All right.
33:58What do you think?
33:59I think if you fall with a shield, it could look like a shell, which could then lend itself to
34:03a turtle type situation.
34:04Okay.
34:04Locked in.
34:05Turtle.
34:06Correct answer is...
34:10Turtle.
34:11Chaser locked in.
34:14Turtle.
34:16I didn't know it, but strangely, all these creation myths in North America, sort of Eastern Asia, a lot of
34:22them revolve around turtles.
34:23So the novel series Discworld, it's a wonderful novel series, that has a turtle or tortoise with the world on
34:30it, and that sort of stems back to the creation myths.
34:33Okay.
34:33I don't know why, it's just all about turtles.
34:35Interesting.
34:36All right, let's get you back to the team.
34:38Sarah and Liv standing by to welcome you with open arms.
34:40Question now.
34:43Prior to World War II, which country built a defensive barrier known as the Maginot Line?
34:49A. Germany.
34:51B. France.
34:52C. Russia.
34:54Where'd you go?
34:55I went France because Maginot sounds French.
34:57However, it could be blocking something, like, into France, so it could be named for a place, but I'm just
35:01going to go with France.
35:02All right, locked in France for $3,000, seat in the final chase.
35:05Correct answer.
35:06Here is...
35:10Mate, look at you, what a run down the board.
35:12Very well done.
35:13Strategic game, we'll see you in the final chase.
35:16A couple of great players lined up there.
35:18Yes, and I like this team.
35:19This is a problem because when I like the team, I tend to not do very well, so I need
35:23to get the feelings away.
35:24It's just a nice bunch of people, and I need to get into game mode for this final.
35:28It's not a competition, but I like you too.
35:30We all like the team.
