00:00To drop or not to drop? That is the question.
00:03Tis nobler in the mind to suffer the fate of this monstrous machine
00:07to win an outrageous fortune of $20,000.
00:10I'm V Todd Woodbridge, let us play Tipping Point.
00:35Hello everyone, welcome to Tipping Point,
00:36where these three contestants are ready to take on the machine.
00:39So let's meet them.
00:40Hi Todd, I'm Harry, a boatbuilder from Epping, Victoria.
00:42If I win the jackpot today, I'd love to take my family
00:44to a trip to Singapore or Dubai.
00:47Hey Todd, I'm Bella, I'm a Breakfast Radio co-host in the Illawarra
00:51from Wollongong and I would love you to tune in
00:54because we need all the listeners we can get.
00:5598.1 please.
00:58Hi Todd, my name's DJ Big Al, I am a master bingo caller
01:02and I've also had the privilege of being knocked off my mountain bike
01:05on two occasions by wombats.
01:08Geez, I tell you that, the bit to take in there.
01:11Yes, ah well, you know, I've been around a bit there, Todd.
01:14Tell us about the DJing.
01:16Oh look, I've been doing DJ work for about 23 years.
01:19Having worked for a record label, CBS, in the mid-70s,
01:23I got the taste for it and I continued it through,
01:26so weddings, parties, anything that'll pay me a dollar.
01:28Brilliant.
01:29Well good luck to you today, Al.
01:30And Bella, lovely to see you in person.
01:32I've actually chatted to you on the station.
01:35Yes, we've had you on the radio before
01:36and you're the reason why I'm here,
01:38because you said you'd be great on the show.
01:39Oh well.
01:39And that started my tipping point journey.
01:41Well, now we've got to get the questions right though, don't we Bella?
01:43Oh yeah, no geography please.
01:45That's next part.
01:46Hey, you've got your co-host with us.
01:47Yes.
01:48Christian, g'day Christian.
01:49Great to have you mate.
01:51Good luck to you, Bella.
01:52Thanks Todd.
01:52And Harry, tell us about the boat building business.
01:55What type of boats are you making?
01:56So we build fishing boats and then we convert them to race boats as well.
02:00Oh, race boats.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Brilliant.
02:01Alright, this is going to be a beauty.
02:03I can feel it.
02:03Are you guys ready?
02:04Ready.
02:05Ready Todd.
02:05Good luck everyone.
02:06Let's play round one, Bank Builder.
02:13Bank Builder is your chance to make some serious money.
02:16Every counter that you push over the tipping point, we will put $100 into your bank.
02:19And in the round, you each start with three counters.
02:22If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the machine
02:26or you can pass and ask one of your competitors to play one of theirs instead.
02:30If you answer incorrectly or don't answer within three seconds, I have to take a counter away from you.
02:36Now, have a look at the two double counters there.
02:38Top right today, push those over to double the value of your drop.
02:41And the two mystery counters on the bottom left there, push those over to be going home with a fabulous
02:46prize.
02:47Hands on buzzers.
02:48Good luck everybody.
02:49Here's the first question.
02:52Harry?
02:56It's lead.
02:57Yes, correct.
03:00Harry, what are you going to do?
03:01That's the next decision you've got to make.
03:03Are you going to play the first counter?
03:03I think I might play.
03:04Where are you?
03:05Oh, good idea, Harry.
03:06We'll go drop round one.
03:07Line up drop zone one.
03:08Here we go.
03:16Good drop.
03:17Nice, solid drop.
03:18Should line itself up with the other silver.
03:20Hopefully.
03:20Nicely done.
03:27Excellent.
03:29Good start.
03:29Four over the tipping point.
03:31First drop of the day.
03:32That's great.
03:32400 goes up.
03:33We transfer it from the machine.
03:35Put that into your bank, Harry.
03:36And you have the lead.
03:37That's it.
03:38That's it.
03:39Okay, on to the second question.
03:46Al?
03:47Milky bar.
03:47That's correct.
03:48Well done, Al.
03:50All right, Al.
03:51What are you going to do?
03:52I think we'd better light up drop zone four, please, Todd.
03:55Let's do it.
03:56Might start shuffling those doubles around.
03:58Give them a bit of a shuffle.
04:05Uh-oh.
04:07Now.
04:07That's going to lie.
04:08If it stays right along the wall, it's fine.
04:10We might get something over there, Todd.
04:12Don't.
04:13Just doesn't want to nestle left here.
04:16That was a good pun, Todd.
04:18Yay.
04:20Good now.
04:21Yay!
04:26Well, Harry's lead didn't last long, because that was five over the tipping point.
04:29500 goes up.
04:31And let's take it from the machine.
04:32Put that into your bank, Al.
04:33You've got a one-counter lead.
04:36Okay.
04:36Here comes the next question.
04:38The Sydney Myer Music Bowl is an open-air auditorium in which Australian capital?
04:42Harry?
04:43New South Wales.
04:44It's in Melbourne.
04:45Oh, yes.
04:45That's right.
04:47I knew that as well.
04:48It's Australian capital city.
04:49Yeah.
04:50Where are you from, Harry?
04:51Melbourne.
04:51Yeah.
04:53I've got to take a counter away from you, unfortunately.
04:56But, you've still got your 400 in the bank.
04:59You've got one left to play.
05:00Al's got two.
05:01Bella?
05:01All three.
05:02On to the next question.
05:04What is the common name of the material once obtained from elephant tusks and used
05:08for...
05:08Al?
05:09Ivory.
05:10Correct.
05:10And used for piano keys.
05:13I tell you what, you could see all the podiums rattling then when it was trying to
05:17get going.
05:17It's yours though, Al.
05:18What are you going to do with it?
05:19I think we'll have a crack at drop zone four again please, Todd.
05:23Let's go back there again.
05:23Light her up.
05:29Ooh.
05:30Nice.
05:30It's aggressive.
05:32Hit hard, didn't it?
05:35Oh.
05:37Hit hard, but nothing comes off the top shelf for you, Al.
05:40So, you've got one counter left, so we've got the lead buyer counter over Harry as we
05:45move on to our next question.
05:47The winner of the 2025 Logie for most popular...
05:51Bella?
05:51Lynn Moongrager.
05:53No, you went too early.
05:55What?
05:55The most popular news or public affairs presenter was...
05:58Oh, Ali Langdon.
05:59Ali Langdon.
05:59Ali Langdon.
06:01I'm panicking, everybody.
06:03I'm panicking.
06:04This is the right.
06:05Well, it was anticipation.
06:06It was.
06:06You would call it.
06:07I've got to take that counter away from you.
06:09Okay.
06:10So you've still got two left to play and the boys are not that far in front of you.
06:14On to our next question.
06:15You're simply the best, better than all the rest, are lyrics, Harry?
06:19Tina Turner.
06:20Yes.
06:21Anticipation.
06:22You got that one right.
06:24Lyrics to a hit song released by which American singer in 1989?
06:29All right.
06:30Are you better than all the rest, Harry?
06:31I'm trying to be.
06:33Where do you want to play?
06:34I think I'll stick to drop zone one.
06:36Light her up.
06:38Let's try to get that mystery prize there.
06:45Good drop there, Harry.
06:46Yeah, that's a good half.
06:48Very nice.
06:49What's he going to deliver?
06:50Don't sit in the middle of that.
06:53Interesting times.
06:55So Harry, you're out of countess.
06:57400 in the bank.
06:58You have to sit back and see what Bella and Al can do.
07:01Bella.
07:02Not much.
07:02Still in this.
07:03There's plenty of money sitting there on the tipping point.
07:05So the next question.
07:07In the 1995 film Babe, what farmyard animal, Al?
07:12Pig.
07:12Correct.
07:13Is the titular Babe.
07:15Just working.
07:16I love you.
07:18Are you going back to four, Al?
07:19Are you going to change direction here?
07:21I think I'll have a little bit of a look at number four again, Todd.
07:24Light her up.
07:24Third time you've been there.
07:34Oh, it's going to ride.
07:36Should be right, I reckon.
07:37Just see that flatten out a little bit and give it a little bit of a push on the side.
07:40I think this one might wrap around to the left.
07:43I'll take anything I can get, Todd.
07:46Thank you very kindly.
07:48Here we go.
07:51Oh, Al.
07:51I thought you were going to get a big drop there.
07:54And in the end, just a single counter came over.
07:56Not quite, Todd.
07:57Let's put the 100 up and we'll move that into your bank.
08:00And you're out of counters, but you got 600 in the lead by two.
08:03Bella.
08:04Todd.
08:04Slow and steady, they say.
08:06Yeah.
08:06Can possibly win the race.
08:08This is part of the game plan, Todd.
08:09All right.
08:11So, no need to buzz in.
08:13Oh, no.
08:13This is where you just do me by myself.
08:15Yes.
08:15Okay.
08:15Yes.
08:16You do need to give me an answer.
08:18Yeah, I will.
08:18And you've got to do that within three seconds.
08:20Okay.
08:20Two questions coming your way.
08:22Let's go.
08:22The first of those two.
08:24Pippa Middleton is the sister of which member of the British Royal Family?
08:29Pippa Middleton is Kate.
08:31I'll accept Kate.
08:33Yes.
08:34Who do Kate?
08:35Yes.
08:36Kate.
08:37We're going away, guys.
08:38I'm going away.
08:39I'm going away.
08:40I'm going away.
08:40I'm going away.
08:40I'm going to go away.
08:41I'm going to go away.
08:43So, Bella, just so when your listeners on your radio station are tuning in,
08:48it is Catherine, Princess of Wales is her correct title.
08:51Just at the moment.
08:52We're best friends.
08:53You're besties.
08:54So, it's actually Katie.
08:55Katie.
08:56Yeah.
08:56Right.
08:57Here's your chance.
08:58Both Harry and Elle have done a fair bit of building.
09:00Yeah.
09:00One and four.
09:01What are you thinking?
09:03One?
09:03Everyone say four.
09:05Christian said one.
09:06What did you say?
09:07One.
09:07Okay.
09:08We'll go one.
09:08I'll blame him if I get nothing.
09:10Light up one.
09:11Light her up study.
09:12Here we go.
09:14Oh, my buzzer is working.
09:18Oh.
09:19You've actually gone into two.
09:22That's what he said.
09:23Oh, here you go.
09:25Here you go.
09:26Here you go.
09:26We've started.
09:28Woo!
09:29Alright.
09:30Here we go.
09:31Here we go.
09:32Alright, you're in the game now, Bella.
09:34Three over the tipping point.
09:35$300 gets you started with some money.
09:38Let's take it out of the machine.
09:39Put that in your bank.
09:41Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
09:42So, with one question left to play, you're one behind Harry, three behind Al.
09:47Okay.
09:47And the last question of the round is this.
09:50The three-letter name of which tabloid media organisation is derived from the term 30 Mile Zone?
09:5630 Mile Zone?
09:57Three-letter word.
09:59Um, new idea?
10:01I don't know.
10:0230 Mile Zone.
10:02What is it?
10:04TMZ.
10:05Oh, far out, I watch that every day.
10:07It's part of your job.
10:08Oh, no.
10:09Bella, I've got to take that counter away.
10:11And at all means, at the end of our bank builder round, Harry's got 400.
10:14You're not far behind with 300.
10:16Al, you've got the lead.
10:17And stick around because Quickfire's going to decide who goes through to the next round
10:21here on Tipping Point.
10:30Streaming TV, it's given us triple digit growth.
10:34Since coming on board, the results have been incredible.
10:37We've had 10 times return on ad spend since March.
10:40It meant that we could go beyond social, reach new audiences online now and measure our results.
10:46Would I recommend Nine Ad Manager for small businesses?
10:49Without a doubt.
10:51Advertise on the big screen on the biggest shows for as little as $550.
10:56Nine Ad Manager, where small goes big.

12:16And it ain't always pretty.
12:18I've done worse than that.

12:23let's see how good his fake face is.
12:25New The 100 with Andy Lee starts Tuesday on 9.
12:33It used to be a choice.
12:36It used to be design or luxury.

13:21Let's play Quickfire.
13:26In Quickfire, you each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
13:30For every correct answer, I give you a counter to play into the machine.
13:34Unfortunately for the contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round,
13:37we have to say goodbye to you.
13:39So, Al, you're in the position of leading at the moment by two over Harry,
13:44three over Bella.
13:44Would you like to play first?
13:46I'll play.
13:47That's your option.
13:47I thought you would.
13:48I'll play for you.
13:50Thanks, Todd.
13:50Alright.
13:51No need to buzz in in this round, but you need as many correct answers as possible.

17:27I need some coins, please.
17:32Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
17:34I need to stay.
17:35Oh, looking good.
17:35Please, please, please, please, please.
17:37Water mine a mystery prize, too.
17:38Here you go.
17:39Okay.
17:39Here you go.
17:40Alright.
17:41Come on, come on, come on.
17:42Come on, come on, come on.
17:43Ah!
17:46Ah!
17:47Ah!
17:47Ah!
17:49I really won.
17:51Ah!
17:52That's lucky.
17:53That's lucky.
17:54That's lucky.
17:54Big drops are just single counters.
17:55I know.
17:56You kept yourself in it, Bella.
17:57Half a dozen, $600 is coming your way.
18:01Let's put that in the bank.
18:02Zero.
18:03And, Bella, you will have 900.
18:06That gives you a five-counter lead over Harry.
18:08Now, Harry's passed and he's piled the pressure on himself,
18:12you could say.
18:13Let you get a deep breath, Harry.
18:15Are you ready?
18:16No.
18:19Yep, let's do it.
18:20All right, 30 seconds is on the clock for you.
18:22Your time starts now.
18:24Iconic to the city of Amsterdam is what two-wheeled form of transport?
18:28Bicycle.
18:28Correct.
18:29Which stage musical includes the songs I Still Call Australia Home
18:32and I Go To Rio?
18:33Pass.
18:34The boy from Oz.
18:35Who is the Scottish-born lead singer of Australian band Men At Work?
18:39Pass.
18:39Colin Hay.
18:40The icon for the messaging app WhatsApp is white and what other colour?
18:44Green.
18:45Correct.
18:45What is the common name for the wooden part in a saxophone's mouthpiece?
18:49Pass.
18:50Read.
18:50What is the term for the process of joining two atomic nuclei
18:53to form a heavier one?
18:54Pass.
18:55Fusion.
19:01You doubled their score, Harry, with two.
19:03Hey, what can you do with two?
19:06Five to tie Bella.
19:08We'll try drop zone three.
19:10All right.
19:11Light up drop zone three.
19:15Can't let Bella win.
19:18Don't get any hands.
19:19This is the first time we've been in there.
19:22First time in drop zone room.
19:25And don't sit in between those two.
19:30You've got one left.
19:31Make it work.
19:33So you've got one left.
19:36Yeah.
19:36Al got seven with one.
19:38Bella got six.
19:40What can you do with this last one?
19:42We'll light up drop zone three again, please.
19:44Light up three.
19:45Very good ball.
19:54That might go in the middle.
19:56It's there.
19:56H.
19:57It's there.
19:59Come on.
19:59Oh, here we go.
20:05My goodness me.
20:07That was three over the tipping point.
20:10That'll give you $300.
20:11And Harry, when I take it from the machine and put it in the bank, it's not going to be
20:15enough.
20:16You'll have $700.
20:17Oh, what?
20:18That's OK.
20:19And that means that at the end of our quickfire round, Al, you stayed in the lead with $1,300.
20:25Bella, you survived with $900.
20:27That's a miracle.
20:28And Harry, unfortunately, we found your tipping point.
20:30Have fun.
20:31It was good.
20:33Thank you for having fun.
20:34Thank you, mate.
20:36Oh, Harry.
20:37Oh, my God.
20:37Not to be.
20:38You got off to the hot start with the first question.
20:40The trip to Singapore and Dubai with the family, I'm sure, is still on the cards.
20:44Yeah, still on the cards.
20:44Absolutely.
20:45It's been great fun having you.
20:46Thanks for joining us today.
20:47Had fun.
20:48And it means that after this next break, Bella and Al, you two are going head to head.
20:53There's only four counters separating you.
20:56And it's going to be a battle, that's for sure.
20:58Stay with us to find out who's going to play for the $20,000 jackpot right here on Tipping Point.

22:25Haven't you ever made a mistake?
22:27I thought you'd mention being married before.
22:30You're not afraid of a little friendly competition, are you?
22:34You two seem to be spending an awful lot of time together lately.
22:38No more secrets.
22:40New season of Sullivan's Crossing.
22:41Stream now on Stan.
22:46The gloves are about to come off.
22:49Australia's biggest game.
22:51Players ready to fight.
22:53Turns up the heat.
22:56On your Sunday night.
22:57Let's duel.
22:58In the battle of the brains.
23:00The inventor versus the school teacher.
23:04Two up.
23:04I'm boobies.
23:05Google Maps.
23:07Uh.
23:08And look out.
23:09You eat raw eggs whole, don't you?
23:12For the egg first.
23:14Love Island.
23:15Did you find love?
23:16Yeah, I did, yeah.
23:17How many times a day did you find it?
23:18In the ultimate race for domination.
23:21Let's play.
23:22The Floor.
23:23Sunday at 7 on 9.
23:29It used to be a choice.
23:32It used to be design or luxury.
23:37It used to be technology or space.
23:43It used to be performance or breaking the bank.
23:48Yeah, it used to be.
23:50Settle no more.
23:52The new Zika X.
24:03Welcome back, everyone.
24:04Bella and Al about to go head to head.
24:06One of you will play for the jackpot.
24:08Of course, as we know, it's worth $20,000.
24:10Before we get to that, though, Bella.
24:12Yes.
24:13Breakfast radio.
24:14Yeah.
24:14In the Illawarra.
24:15In the Illawarra, we're the number one radio station, which is fantastic.
24:18Fantastic.
24:18And we've got a great bunch of listeners.
24:20They've been on the ride with us doing this tipping point journey.
24:23Yeah.
24:23You've got Jess, too, with you.
24:25Jess, hi, how are you?
24:26Hey, I'm great.
24:27Jess, you look after these two, really, don't you?
24:29Yes.
24:29You do their content, as we like to call it today.
24:31Also a babysitter.
24:33But, yes.
24:35And one thing we haven't asked, what are you going to do with the money, Bella, if you
24:39could get over Big Al here?
24:41Once I get over Big Al, which sounds inappropriate, because I want to give it to a listener who
24:50listens to the show.
24:51Great.
24:51Yeah.
24:52Fantastic.
24:52Because they've been invested in this whole journey, and we've done it together, so I
24:55want to give it to them.
24:56Well, let's see whether you can do them proud or not.
24:58Because Big Al's going to have a thing to say about that, won't you, Al?
25:01Big time.
25:02Lovely to have you on the show.
25:04Now, if you don't mind me saying, you're 75 years of age, fit as a trout.
25:09You're a bingo caller, too, Al.
25:10A master bingo caller.
25:12Yes, a master one.
25:13Master bingo caller.
25:14Is that a level up from a general?
25:16It is the ace.
25:17The ace of ace.
25:18Big Al, the ace bingo caller.
25:20And it's Whittlesea Bowls Club, and I've been calling out there for the past three years.
25:24Al, Bella wants to give the money to one of the listeners.
25:27What do you want to do, if you could get it?
25:28Well, what I would like to do is do a big round of drinks for all the team out there
25:36at Whittlesea Bowls Club.
25:37And if there's any money left over, I would also like to establish my own bingo hall, if
25:42you like.
25:43Right.
25:43And start off again, start fresh.
25:46Fantastic.
25:46Oh, that's nice.
25:48They'll all be hoping you win, because they all want a drink, Al.
25:51But let's do this, because you two are about to go head to head.
26:00All right.
26:01In our head to head round, you each have two questions.
26:04If you get your question correct, you get the counter to play into the machine.
26:07If you get it wrong, your opponent steals it.
26:09If you are unsure of your question, you can pass it to your opponent.
26:13So, Al, you've got the lead by four counters, and it means that you've got the opening question.
26:19Which 2003 best-selling novel was inspired by the author's time working as an assistant
26:25to Vogue editor, Anna Wintour?
26:28Pass or play?
26:29I will pass on this occasion, Todd.
26:31Mmm.
26:33All right, Bella.
26:34Damn it, Al.
26:35So, Bella, let me read it to you again.
26:37Which 2003 best-selling novel was inspired by the author's time working as an assistant
26:43to Vogue editor, Anna Wintour?
26:46The Devil Wears Prada.
26:48That's your answer?
26:49That's my answer.
26:50All right, Bella, let's find out whether you've got a steal here with The Devil Wears Prada.
26:56Is that the correct answer?
27:00Yeah!
27:02Woo!
27:03Yes, babe.
27:05Yeah.
27:06All right.
27:07That's a flick.
27:08That's a flick.
27:08Things just tightened up a little bit.
27:10Yeah.
27:11Four counters to tie.
27:13Five gets you the lead.
27:15What do you think?
27:15Two or four?
27:17We'll go two, because that looks more chucked up at the top there.
27:20Okay.
27:20Two it is.
27:24Coming for you, Big Al.
27:25I'm coming for you.
27:26Go, Bella.
27:27Here we go.
27:31Oh, very good.
27:33I think it looks okay.
27:34Yeah.
27:34Let's have a little look.
27:36Go, girlfriend.
27:37There you go.
27:38Come on, come on, come on.
27:41Wow!
27:43One!
27:44One, and have a look at how long that shadow is, right near it.
27:48Let's just wait, I didn't see it again.
27:50They are teetering.
27:51But for now, Bella, it's just a single counter.
27:54$100 will come your way.
27:56Every dollar counts.
27:57I'll give you $1,000 in the bank.
27:59Three behind out.
28:00Okay.
28:02Here is your first question of the round, Bella.
28:06Born circa 1028, English King William the Bastard is better known by what other regnal by name?
28:14Parcel play.
28:16Retinal.
28:17Reg-nal.
28:18Reg-nal.
28:18Reg-nal is my eye, so that's not right, yeah.
28:20Reg-nal.
28:21Sorry, like, yeah.
28:22Reg-nal.
28:23It's a parcel play, Bella.
28:24Mm.
28:24I think I'll pass that one.
28:27I will pass it, please.
28:29I know.
28:31I know.
28:31So, Al, it's been passed to you.
28:34What do you feel the answer could be?
28:36I can only think of William the Conqueror.
28:40That would be my answer.
28:43Is it William the Conqueror?
28:46Sure is.
28:47Oh.
28:49Well done.
28:50Well done, Anna.
28:52So, Bella.
28:53Yes.
28:53Would you have said William the Conqueror had you had a crack at it?
28:56No.
28:57Oh, good.
28:57I would.
28:58Absolutely not.
28:59So, Al, you've got a three-counter lead.
29:01Where are you off to with it?
29:03Light up three.
29:05Let's do it.
29:05Light her up.
29:07It's an important counter, this one.
29:13Oh, it's in the cap.
29:15That's good, though, Al.
29:17If it falls.
29:17It's in softly.
29:19Let's see.
29:20Yeah, you're good.
29:20You're good.
29:21Do you think so?
29:21Yeah.
29:22I think this is going to position well, Al.
29:25Yeah.
29:26Down it comes.
29:27Oh, perfect.
29:35What do you say with four when you're bingo calling?
29:37Is it four knock on the door, Al?
29:39It certainly is.
29:40Yeah?
29:40Four knock on the door.
29:41I'm really happy with that.
29:42That's $400.
29:42Going to go into the machine and come your way.
29:45It'll give you $1,700.
29:48And we'll be back after the break to see whether Al can hold on.
29:51Or whether Bella will get on top of him.
29:53As she likes to say here on Tipping Point.
30:03I call them my support crew.
30:04When I need help, they're there.
30:06Just like Yui.
30:07Yes.
30:07There when you need.
30:08Yes.
30:08They're making us feel very special.
30:12The remote.
30:13Shop around.
30:14Try Yui.
30:15Yui.
30:15Yui insured.

30:46Red's Hot Range.
30:47The rooster's calling.
30:50Breaking news tonight.
30:52After months of speculation, the Prime Minister's latest move is being called questionable.
30:57G'day.
30:58In the politically incorrect new season.
31:02Taco.
31:02Soft shell or hard shell?
31:04We're cracking the country wide open.
31:07I used to be not into hard.
31:09I haven't had a hard one for years and the other day.
31:11Still 7.30 in show.
31:13Yeah.
31:1340% of Aussies attracted to someone who look exactly like themselves.
31:18And it ain't always pretty.
31:19I've done worse than that.
31:21Say if I'm a foreign leader that you don't really like that much.
31:24Let's see how good his fake face is.
31:26New The 100 with Andy Lee starts Tuesday on 9.
31:34It used to be a choice.
31:37It used to be design or luxury.
31:42It used to be technology or space.
31:48It used to be performance or breaking the bank.
31:53Yeah.
31:54It used to be.
31:55Settle no more.
31:57The new Zika X.
32:08Welcome back, Bella.
32:10Al.
32:10The difference between the two is 7 in your favour, Al.
32:14And you've got the next question.
32:17In the first Back to the Future film,
32:19Marty travels from 1985 back in time to what year?
32:23Pass or play?
32:24I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass, Todd.
32:26No, play it out.
32:29Out.
32:30Out.
32:30I don't think we can play it.
32:31Play it.
32:32I'm doing this for your sake.
32:33No.
32:34Over to you, Bill.
32:35Oh, God.
32:36Can I have the question again?
32:37Yes, Bella.
32:38In the first Back to the Future film,
32:40Marty travels from 1985 back in time to what year?
32:45Back in time.
32:46From 1985, they went back to...
32:48What year?
32:49What year?
32:50Yeah.
32:50Todd.
32:5219...
32:52I'm not going to say wartime.
32:55I forgot back in time.
32:571962.
32:591962.
33:00Al, any idea?
33:01I would have thought maybe 1900.
33:04I don't know.
33:04OK.
33:05Right.
33:05Michael J. Fox.
33:07He played Marty.
33:08Yeah.
33:08Did he go back to 1962?
33:11Come on.
33:11I need to break you.
33:15No.
33:16He went back to 1955.
33:19Oh, we're so close.
33:21You were so close, Bella, yet so far away from it.
33:25Right-o, Al.
33:25You've got another counter here.
33:27You could seal the deal here.
33:31OK, light up three, please, Todd.
33:37Come on, Al.
33:40That's a beautiful drop.
33:42That's a pretty good-looking spot there, Al.
33:44As long as it gets flat.
33:46Oh, and almost jumped on top.
33:50It's going to be a widespread...
33:56It's going to be big.
34:02Stretchy lead again now with another half a dozen, including that one there.
34:06It's a lip smacker on that rail.
34:08So let's put 600 into the bank, and you will have yourself $2,300.
34:17Right-o, Bella.
34:18This is going to require a big, big comeback.
34:21I know, Toddy.
34:22You're $13 behind.
34:23$13?
34:27Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
34:30Final question.
34:33Bella, which native marsupial is the animal emblem of Queensland?
34:38Pass or play.
34:39Marsupial.
34:40Which native marsupial is the animal emblem of Queensland?
34:46Let's just...
34:49Pass.
34:49I'll pass it.
34:50All right, Al.
34:53What native marsupial is the animal emblem of Queensland?
34:57I can only think of a platypus.
34:59That's all I can think of.
35:00Yeah.
35:00Platypus.
35:01Yeah.
35:02What would you have gone with, Bella?
35:03I would have went platypus.
35:04Would you have gone platypus?
35:05Yeah.
35:05Okay.
35:07Let's find out if the animal emblem of Queensland is a platypus.
35:15Oh.
35:17It's a koala.
35:19How much can a koala bear?
35:21A koala?
35:22Yes.
35:22Yes.
35:23That's so random.
35:24Is it?
35:25Okay.
35:26Well, you know what you've got the opportunity to do now?
35:29Still in the game.
35:30You're still in the game.
35:31Still in the game.
35:32All right.
35:3413 counted.
35:36Unlucky for some.
35:3713.
35:37Could it be lucky for you?
35:39Let's go drop zone three.
35:41Light her up.
35:42Yeah.
35:42Drop zone three.
35:44Positive thoughts, everybody.
35:46Positive thoughts.
35:47Let's manifest it.
35:48Are you into manifesting, Tava?
35:50Some days.
35:56Oh, I don't know.
35:58Come on.
35:59Come on.
35:59You need multiple to get off the top here, Bella.
36:02Oh.
36:03That's better than nothing.
36:06Great.
36:07Okay.
36:10You're going to come up a little short, Bella.
36:13It was three over the tipping point.
36:15Yeah.
36:15Means you're ten behind when we put 300 in and take it out.
36:19You'll have $1,300.
36:21Al, well played to you.
36:22But unfortunately, Bella, we've found your tipping point.
36:25Oh, thank you, though.
36:29Thank you, though.
36:31Good luck.
36:32Bella, it's been great having you on the show.
36:35And to all of your listeners, I look forward to having a chat to them because no doubt we're
36:38going to have to talk about your performance here today.
36:40Absolutely.
36:42And Christian, thanks for coming down to Melbourne, too, being part of the action.
36:45Thank you, Todd.
36:46Thank you, Todd.
36:47Good on you, guys.

38:3120 bucks to get by.
38:32Yeah, it's pretty scary.
38:34A nationwide investigation.
38:36If we're not able to harvest them, there's no wheat for wheat pigs.
38:38Why we're crunched and what's really coming next.
38:42Should we all be preparing for recession?
38:44Absolutely.
38:45Plus, Epstein's evil ranch, where no one can hear you scream.
38:51It sounds like a horror film.
38:53Sunday.
39:01Welcome back.
39:03Well done, Al.
39:04Thanks, Todd.
39:04Played it well.
39:05Big Al, $2,300 sitting in the machine.
39:10Now, all of the Whittlesea Bowls club are now going,
39:13come on, Al, where's our drink?
39:15That's what they want from you.
39:16My very word.
39:17Tell us a little bit more, too.
39:18You did a tandem jump, which I'm interested in.
39:21Yes, yes, yes.
39:22For a...
39:2214,000 feet out of a plane.
39:24Indeed, yes.
39:25For a reasonably major birthday some time ago,
39:28I thought, well, look, we'll have a go at this.
39:30Yeah.
39:30And I didn't realise it was going to be 14,000 feet
39:34in a very small plane.
39:36We did the intro.
39:37We got the parachute on.
39:39I had a guide on my back.
39:41So we got in a very small plane,
39:43took 15 minutes to get up to the 14,000 feet.
39:47And as I was talking and telling one of my famous popular jokes,
39:51they opened this little door.
39:53I managed to get out and he said, we're out, mate.
39:55And I'm talking, still trying to finish the joke.
39:57And here we were plummeting down free fall.
40:00Fantastic.
40:00Was it?
40:00Bang.
40:01And I'm here to tell you it worked.
40:03You survived.
40:04I surely did.
40:05Well, adrenaline?
40:06Oh, very much so.
40:07Very much so.
40:08Well, let's hope you keep that adrenaline
40:10because you're about to play the jackpot round.
40:17All right, in a moment, Al.
40:19You can put the jackpot counter into the machine.
40:20If you push it back out, there's 20,000.
40:23With the exception, if you put it into drop zone four,
40:26both of the doubles are still sitting there.
40:28So it could potentially be 40.
40:30If you're able to nudge them down closer together,
40:33it could be 80.
40:35So what would you like to do?
40:36We'll light up drop zone four.
40:39Let's go for it, hey?
40:40OK.
40:40Good luck.
40:41Light her up.
40:48Oh, my goodness.
40:50It just jumps straight on top.
40:53But it's centred and it's ready to roll
40:57and it's sitting in between the two doubles.
40:59So it'll take a bit of work.
41:01We'll get there.
41:01We will get there.
41:02We'll get there.
41:02Let's go to the categories.
41:04Certainly.
41:04Find out the five you've got today.
41:06Right.
41:07Pop culture, art, geography, music and weeds.
41:11Excellent.
41:12Now, you can play one, two or three.
41:13The more you play four, the better your chances are
41:15that you can get this down and over that tipping point.
41:18Where would you like to start?
41:20OK, we'll go from top to bottom, Todd.
41:21Yeah.
41:22And we'll play three.
41:23All the way through?
41:24All the way through.
41:25So I'm not going to ask you that question again.
41:27Three is locked in all the way.
41:29OK, and we're starting from top, and that is pop culture.
41:34Good luck, Al.
41:36What is the name of the female equivalent of Pac-Man
41:40who had her own game debut in 1982?
41:45Mrs. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man?
41:50So 1982, Ms.
41:53I don't think that would have been appropriate in those days.
41:57It wouldn't have been used.
41:58It's either going to be Ms. Pac-Man or Mrs.
42:02I'll try Ms. Pac-Man.
42:04Slide up Ms. Pac-Man.
42:07Was it Ms. Pac-Man?
42:14It was actually Ms. Ms.
42:17The one that you got rid of early.
42:19You just missed off straight away.
42:20Yes.
42:20Oh, well.
42:21All right, let's forget about that.
42:22Back to the board.
42:24Here we go.
42:24Moving on down.
42:25We're playing for three, and art is the next category.
42:28Very good.
42:32OK, Al.
42:33One of Chinese artists Ai Weiwei's most famous works
42:38is a 1995 series of images in which he drops and destroys what?
42:43Ice cream cones, an ancient urn, or a mirror?
42:47Ice cream cones doesn't seem to mean art.
42:52A mirror doesn't really reflect like it's a good answer.
42:58Oh, I saw what you did there.
42:59And I'm...
43:00Thank you kindly.
43:01I'm going for an ancient urn.
43:04All right.
43:05So I'll light that up.
43:08Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, his famous works in 1995,
43:13did it feature an ancient urn?
43:21Here we go.
43:22This is the one.
43:23Come on, Al.
43:25Righty-o.
43:26Here we go.
43:26Let's get started now.
43:27We're going to light up drop zone four.
43:29Come on, Al.
43:39That's good, Al.
43:40Now, we know it's riding,
43:42so we're going to see what sort of push it gets.
43:43Come on.
43:44Yep.
43:45Not bad.
43:46Not bad.
43:47Not bad at all.
43:48All right, let's put the second one in.
43:49We're going to light that up again.
43:50Thanks, Todd.
44:00Sit down.
44:01Okay, now that will squeeze it'll lateral left, I think.
44:05There it goes.
44:06It might be right, Todd.
44:07Comes forward.
44:07Yeah.
44:07We've got the two over.
44:09It's a very good start.
44:11Oh!
44:13Money, money, money.
44:16Nice work.
44:17Seven.
44:17That'll give you $700 and give you a flat three pay in the bank.
44:21That's terrific, Todd.
44:22So, I reckon you're one push away if you can get it right in behind it once again.
44:26And that would be excellent with the first three counters.
44:28So, final one to light up for this category.
44:31Oh!
44:35Oh!
44:39That's going to go to the right, I suspect.
44:43There it goes.
44:46A little bit more.
44:48A little bit more.
44:50Oh!
44:50An extra counter.
44:51One more.
44:52One more.
44:53So, we'll put that in.
44:54$3,100.
44:55And it's back to the categories we go.
44:57Moving on down.
44:59The next is geography.
45:00We know we've locked in three all the way.
45:03We have.
45:04Thanks, Todd.
45:07Which Nordic capital city extends across 14 islands?
45:13Copenhagen, Oslo or Stockholm?
45:16My friends were Danish, so I'll go Copenhagen.
45:19Mm-hmm.
45:19I'll select Copenhagen.
45:21Okay, let's light up Copenhagen.
45:22Because you've got some Danish friends.
45:24I do.
45:25Okay.
45:25So, we keep our fingers crossed on this one.
45:27All right.
45:28Which Nordic capital extends across 14 islands?
45:31Is it Copenhagen?
45:37Stockholm.
45:37Stockholm.
45:38Yes.
45:38Thanks, Todd.
45:39Beautiful city.
45:40And you plot along all little bridges all the way around.
45:43Unfortunately, that doesn't give us the countess.
45:45So, we've got to clear our heads again as we go back to the categories.
45:49We've got two left to play.
45:50Right.
45:51Music is next.
45:54Now, we need this one.
45:57Here we go.
45:59Okay.
46:00What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
46:03Is the opening lyric to a hit 80s song by which artist?
46:08Billy Joel, Elton John or Prince?
46:12Well, because my darling wife at home watching this has met Billy Joel.
46:17And I have several of his albums.
46:19And that is a crash hot song.
46:21So, obviously, I'm going to go for Billy Joel.
46:23Let's light up Billy Joel.
46:25And we'll find out after the break if you're a step closer to getting the $20,000, Al.
46:36It might look like we're battling bad weather, but we're actually living the good life.
46:42Rather enjoy the simple pleasures?
46:44There's sail fares to Adelaide from just $105 at Jetstar.com.

47:30Players ready to fight.
47:32Turns up the heat.
47:34On your Sunday night.
47:36Let's duel.
47:37In the battle of the brains.
47:40The inventor versus the school teacher.
47:43Two up.
47:44Up this.
47:44Google Maps.
47:46Uh.
47:47And look out.
47:49You eat raw eggs whole, don't you?
47:51For the egg first.
47:53Love Island.
47:54Did you find love?
47:55Yeah, I did.
47:55Yeah.
47:56How many times a day did you find it?
47:57In the ultimate race for domination.
48:00Let's play.
48:01The floor.
48:02Sunday at 7 on 9.
48:12Welcome back to Chipping Point.
48:13It's time to live up to the reputation, Big Al.
48:17And get this done, hey?
48:18You've got 3,100 sitting in the bank.
48:20And the question before the break was, what's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
48:25Is the opening lyric to a hit 80s song by which artist?
48:28And you said, light up Billy Joel.
48:31Indeed.
48:32Is that the correct answer?
48:36Yes, it is.
48:39So we've got the 3.
48:40He's a brilliant performer.
48:42Oh, absolutely magic.
48:43Okay.
48:44Here we go.
48:44Let's see if we can get this onto the bottom shelf.
48:46Light up drop zone 4.
48:47First of three counters.
48:48Yes, please.
48:52Come on, Big Al.
48:57Okay.
49:00That's the second time we've had a drop like that.
49:02The first was when you put the jackpot counter in.
49:03So we're going to work on timing.
49:05Work on timing.
49:06Let's put the second in.
49:07Light her up.
49:08Come on.
49:12Come on.
49:14Oh.
49:15Down flat.
49:16Oh, Al.
49:18Another rider.
49:22Oh, man.
49:23Okay.
49:24All right.
49:24Right on, Al.
49:25Here we go.
49:25We've got one more here.
49:27Two riders.
49:27We need to get rid of them.
49:28Light her up.
49:37Oh, wow.
49:39Al, if one thing, you are consistent.
49:44Consistently bad.
49:45That was three riders.
49:47You've got one down there.
49:48Okay.
49:50That was an unfortunate run of play.
49:52We've got one category left to play.
49:54So let's go back.
49:55Weeds.
49:59Right.
50:00Okay.
50:00I can only imagine what this is going to be.
50:03Introduced it into Australia through mail order catalogues in the 1800s was an invasive weed nicknamed what?
50:12Patterson's Curse, Gilmore's Bane or Lawson's Hex?
50:16Let's light up Patterson's Curse.
50:18Okay.
50:18Light up Patterson's Curse.
50:19Was Patterson's Curse introduced via a mail order catalog in the 1800s?
50:27It was.
50:29Right.
50:31Okay.
50:32So, three in the right place could get it done, but maybe not quite enough.
50:37First and foremost, the goal of these three is to get it onto the bottom shelf.
50:41Light up drop zone four.
50:42Yes, please.
50:53Where are we going, Todd?
50:57I'm not sure what's going to happen here.
51:00It's another rider.
51:03Okay.
51:04Focus on that timing.
51:05Light her up again.
51:06Yes, please.
51:07Yes, please.
51:18This might get it down.
51:19Let's just see if we can stick it over, Todd.
51:21There's a lot to push here.
51:23Let's go.
51:26Oh, it's hooked on the left side there.
51:29Let's do it.
51:30Third one.
51:30Light her up.
51:31Say no more.
51:39Get down flat.
51:41Set.
51:42Okay.
51:43That should, I hope, squeeze it off the top.
51:46Let's get it over the top, Todd.
51:49Yeah.
51:51Oh, another one jumps on top.
51:55Well done.
51:56Left the run a little late, but in the end, it's another $500 that you can add to your total.
52:02And you've got that jackpot counter down.
52:04The double's nudged in front of it.
52:06And at the end of the jackpot round, you've got yourself $3,600.
52:10Well played out.
52:15You've got it all set.
52:17For you to do what?
52:18Should we play jackpot temptation?
52:20We shall.
52:27We shall play jackpot temptation.
52:29And to do it, though, means you have to give back that $3,600.
52:32I'm sure you would have been hoping if you were in this round it was a little higher.
52:36Indeed, yes.
52:37Yes, yes, yes.
52:37So, let's look at this.
52:39Right.
52:39I'm going to offer you four counters and increase the jackpot to $40,000.
52:47And there is that double still there.
52:49If you could manage to get that over together, that could be $80,000.
52:53While you contemplate that, Al, we're headed to the newsroom.
52:58All right, Al, before the newsroom, my offer to you of four for $40,000.
53:04What would you like to do?
53:06Just reviewing my past performance on the ability to stack things up there on the top level indicates to me
53:14that I really would need to have perhaps that extra one just to give me a little bit of liquidity.
53:19Move the counters across, drop accordingly, and then just quietly mosey on underneath the star.
53:29Is that a good enough pitch, do you think, to get one more?
53:33OK.
53:35Five, but I have to reduce it to 20.
53:40Still could be 40.
53:43Got to play.
53:44Want to play?
53:45He's got to play.
53:45Come on, he's going to play.
53:47We're going to play.
53:47He's going to play.
53:48Well done.
53:51He's going to give it a red-hot crack.
53:53Come on, Big Al.
53:54Unfortunately, I'm going to take that money away.
53:56$3,600 is no longer yours.
53:59But what we will do is put $20,000 back up into the machine.
54:05You've got five to put into the machine.
54:07Let's get started.
54:09Here's one of five.
54:10Light up drop zone four.
54:11Yes, please.
54:12Here we go.
54:12Come on, Big Al.
54:14Come on, Big Al.
54:16Come on, Big Al.
54:17Come on, Big Al.
54:18Come on, Big Al.
54:19Come on, Big Al.
54:23Nice.
54:24Oh, not a bad start.
54:25That should be a reasonable start.
54:26Let's see how we go.
54:27Let's get some over the top there, Todd.
54:30Anything would be really good.
54:31Get that down.
54:32That's okay.
54:33Just a little bit to the right.
54:35Oh.
54:36Okay, let's put the second one in.
54:38Light it up.
54:46No, no, over there, Al.
54:49No, it's another rider.
54:53Okay.
54:56No, it's not going to give us anything.
54:57Oh, well, we'll go for the third one, Todd.
54:59Okay.
54:59Light it up again.
55:00Third of five.
55:07Smashes down.
55:09Sit flat.
55:12Now it needs to push hard left.
55:14Something over the top, Todd.
55:16Hard left.
55:16Something over the top.
55:19All right.
55:20It's going to have to come down to the last two.
55:22Second last one.
55:23Light her up.
55:24Come on, Al.
55:25There we go.
55:26Let's go.
55:26Come on.
55:31That's a kick.
55:34Don't slide along the wall.
55:37Okay.
55:38It's come back a little.
55:39We need where that one is on top to push over.
55:42Just a little bit more.
55:43Right.
55:46So we've got one more to put in.
55:48Okay, then.
55:48Still a possibility.
55:49It's still a possibility.
55:51Come on, Al.
55:51Final counter.
55:52Let's give it a go.
55:53Light up here.
55:54Light up here.
55:59Come on.
55:59Right there.
56:01Now get down flat.
56:03Right now.
56:04Push this little pile up.
56:06Can we do it?
56:06Can we do it?
56:07Can we do it?
56:07Come on.
56:08Can we do it?
56:09Give it a go.
56:10Give that pile up.
56:11Oh, my goodness.
56:12That's mean.
56:14It doesn't push the pile off.
56:16And Al, even going for that extra counter, you might have needed another one or two by
56:21the looks of it.
56:22Unfortunately, I'm not sending you home with any cash.
56:25We are sending you home with the knife set, and it's been a fabulously entertaining day.
56:29Thank you so much.
56:32Totally enjoyed it, babe.
56:33It's been great.
56:34Thank you, audience.
56:35Great having you all.
56:37And thanks for watching.
56:38And join us next time when three new contestants try their luck on Tipping Point.
56:43We'll see you next time when three new contestants try their luck on Tipping Point.
