01:14coverage of it and the news in Australia broke on the morning show I have some beautiful duck
01:20breast here Donald Trump evacuated from White House but don't let that interrupt the cooking
01:26segment don't let it interrupt the duck breast yes they were saying duck for a very different reason
01:32look in times of chaos we turn to the ABC for the facts journalists hiding under dinner tables we
01:38know that they had just been served a spring pea and burrata salad amazing it is terrifying to think
01:47that Donald Trump came this close to eating a salad it is terrifying that is crazy well for the guests
01:53in
01:53the room there was naturally panic so I wasn't quite sure what they were pointing at yeah I was deep
01:58into my burrata salad let's forget the burrata salad they were just excited because under Joe Biden
02:04was mostly puree based exactly it's great we saw chaotic scenes at the dinner snipers secret service
02:11officers and in the bottom left hand corner you can see someone just really enjoying the salad
02:20if you see the price of burrata you've got to go to town while you can there was chaos in

02:33no one left behind she was caught red-handed white-handed and rosé-handed as well thankfully
02:40the president was unharmed and we heard from Donald Trump after the incident I also saw a lot of very
02:47strong physically strong really attractive law enforcement people come through those doors
02:55these guys were hot some of all those babes in the villa when they stood in front of me to
03:01shield me
03:02I saw dead ass whose voice is that by the way it's been a big week at the White House
03:11it's been a huge
03:12week one of the biggest weeks in terms of weeks it has been a big week at the White House
03:17King Charles

03:58new home for the presidential bees a beehive in the shape of a White House this is amazing can we
04:05that again the Trump beehive they make Manuka honey and Ivanka honey which is interesting
04:11now for those viewers wondering if the honey in the hive is a light clover and basewood flavor with
04:18a subtle hint of citrus apparently the honey inside a light clover and basewood flavor with a subtle hint
04:24of citrus in case you're wondering in case you're wondering let's move on now and it has been a
04:30busy week for the president not just the dinner but important meetings as well Donald Trump appeared
04:35to have another urgent meeting yesterday with the back of his eyelids that's important that's
04:42important this is amazing he fell asleep during the Oval Office briefing he wasn't the only one
04:46some are growing weary of waiting for peace never too early to learn to duck are you
04:54we might need to fact check that okay a couple of our audience having an urgent meeting with the
04:58back of their eyelids let's head back home and the government here are under pressure to start
05:03taxing gas exports that's been the big story during the week but they're being lobbied by Japan
05:07not to Japan an early investor and a big buyer of Australian gas has been quietly lobbying the
05:14government against a new tax Prime Minister Sanayi Takaichi to make a pre-budget dash to Australia
05:23would you call that quietly lobbying no she's sending mixed symbols
05:32can we see her again that is amazing that is the Prime Minister of Japan on the drum kit she's
05:37actually a drummer for the iconic Japanese rock band Guns and Cherry Blossoms
05:42let's press on and of course Saturday marked Anzac Day of course a day to remember and to give thanks
05:48to all those Australians and New Zealanders who have served their nations exactly we saw some
05:52incredible scenes across Australia and the media had full coverage people from all walks of life
05:57people with medals young people teenagers in their in their shorts and in their jeans it's important
06:05to talk about their shorts and their jeans and their jeans it was great to see so many people get
06:10up so
06:10early for the denim service and pay their respects beautiful we saw some moving scenes across Australia
06:20beautiful scenes nice to have the Japanese back on board
06:31let's stick with Anzac Day and the commemorations speaking of music Sunrise had a very touching musical tribute
06:37I stood upon the rocky shores I watched the tall ships come
06:48this is amazing I didn't know that you were in the ten tenners
06:52here you are right smack in the middle see if you can spot me
06:59he's behind that quite short hair
07:03that was fantastic good to see Breakfast TV get into the spirit
07:06yeah yeah it was a big morning for Breakfast TV the Today Show were live on the beach
07:10there is some inclement weather around but as said nothing compared to
07:14what our servicemen and women have gone through
07:18you're saying they weren't dealing with a light drizzle
07:20exactly
07:22no let's let's check back in
07:24welcome back to this very special edition of

07:30of course it was three years to the day where they defeated studio 10
07:38look there was some sad news at these dawn services
07:41some were marred by booing during the welcome to country ceremonies
07:44Skynia spoke to Pastor Ray Minican who spoke so well on the issue
07:48exactly he spoke so well but he did have a little bit of trouble with his zoom
07:51despicable
07:53Ray given that this happened in Melbourne and Sydney and Perth I understand
07:57on the same morning in the same way
07:59does it seem to you like an organised campaign
08:06it's awkward if you're doing an interview and you're trying to swipe left
08:09to the person you're talking to
08:11I think Ray was just trying to end the call
08:13we're there just to do one particular thing for our
08:20it looks like we've lost Ray Minican there
08:24I can see him pressing those buttons on his computer
08:27he may well have pressed the wrong one we don't know
08:30I think he pressed the right one
08:32yes
08:33he very rarely seen goodbye to country ceremony
08:38we owe so much to our soldiers
08:41many of whom went on to achieve so much back home

22:24I've got to celebrate
22:25I need to eat something because I've had some champagne
22:26so it was like special occasion
22:27so I went and found some food
22:28and I believe you've got a
22:31this is it
22:32this is literally what I ate
22:34it is a curried egg and cress sandwich
22:36wow
22:37yeah that's what I chose
22:38it's a bit sad
22:39it's kind of like if you got your death row meal from 7-eleven
22:42well let's talk about the show
22:44because I went to go see it in the comedy festival
22:46it was hilarious
22:48it's called Gift Horse
22:49and you're touring it around Australia
22:51for those who haven't seen the show
22:52can you give us a summary
22:54yes so basically if you know me
22:55you know I don't do shows every year
22:57I only do a show when I've got something important going on in my life
22:59something that I feel like I need to work through with people
23:01something I've got to say to the world
23:03like my last show was about having a baby
23:04okay
23:05huge change in my life
23:05and I wasn't doing a show this year
23:07and then last year
23:08on my 42nd birthday
23:10my boyfriend gave me an inflatable kayak
23:14and that's the show
23:16that's the show
23:17100% that's what the whole show is about
23:18the whole show is basically a one long breakfast radio segment
23:22I'm sorry it is
23:23that's why it's also so shocking to have won with this show
23:26that is possibly the most trivial
23:27but it's actually not when you get into about gift giving
23:30but that's truly what it is
23:31he gave me an inflatable kayak
23:33and it was supposed to be one joke
23:35and then it blew up
23:35not unlike an inflatable kayak
23:37and it became a national and potentially a global tour
23:40and now something that's won this
23:41so it's crazy
23:42this is the kayak
23:45this is the morning
23:45look at the face of a woman trying to pretend she doesn't hate that kayak
23:49because I know you go
23:52why is there a chicken in that
23:53that's my daughter
23:54my partner is Pluckaduck
23:59because kayaks
24:00this is the thing
24:00some people love kayaks
24:01so people are like what do you mean
24:02let me explain to you
24:04on the morning of my 42nd birthday
24:05this morning
24:06and I walked out and found this
24:07inflatable kayak
24:08and I said
24:09it's a kayak
24:11was the first time I've ever said the word kayak
24:16so that's what's part of it
24:18so your partner bought this gift for you
24:21and now you're doing a show about it
24:23how does he feel
24:25well his name is Dara
24:26I'll tell you this
24:26so I've been working on the show for a year and a half
24:28since my birthday in February
24:29and until very recently he hadn't seen any of it
24:32he didn't want to see it
24:33I tried to tell him bits
24:33and I talk a lot about him in the show
24:35and he's like no no I want to wait until it's finished
24:36okay
24:37hadn't seen it until two weeks ago in Melbourne
24:39he saw it for the first time in the comedy theatre
24:41in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival
24:43and I really miss him
24:47so
24:51but I got the award
24:52so what are you going to do
24:53he like
24:54thank goodness he liked it
24:56he liked it a lot
24:56and also I'm aware how lucky I am
24:58like this is a ridiculous job to do
24:59when you have partners
25:00like I don't know how your partner feels
25:01but like normal people
25:02if you give your partner a ship gift
25:04maybe you're in the family WhatsApp
25:05I'm talking shit about him
25:07up and down the country
25:08on TV
25:10thousands of people
25:11have laughed at the bad choice he made
25:13oh man
25:14he's fine
25:15he's fine
25:15he seems to like it
25:17has he given you a gift since?
25:18because there is now a lot of pressure on his next gift
25:20well the thing is
25:22because
25:23this became
25:24the best show I've ever done
25:25and won me this award
25:27I'm pretty sure
25:28I'm going to be getting inflatable kayaks every year
25:31for the rest of my damn life
25:34which is fair
25:35maybe I'll get a canoe in there
25:37no no no
25:37it's going to be very hard for it to be a surprise when you're in bed and you're going to
25:40hear
25:42but to be honest because I have had another birthday so 43 so for this year he did very well
25:47and he got me a very tasteful gift from Sexy Boutique which I love
25:51I love
25:52beautiful
25:53that's lovely
25:54we are so happy that you won the award and you shared this amazing image on your socials so that's
25:58the award on the right and on the left

26:06most humble comedian of the year thank you
26:09but it was my fifth ever gig I won the raw recruit
26:11raw is the open mic competition and this I was the first and last person to win this award they
26:15never did it again
26:17I know it was for the best first time entrance so it was my fifth time on stage I was
26:22in the town hall and I won that and then 20 years later that's that's this one

27:00later anyway so that was my fifth time on stage absolutely terrified and I think I could say that I
27:04can't remember but I think I'd say my best joke was probably my haircut
27:07um
27:09well I think I think your second best joke was this one
27:11oh no
27:11I think we should just be able to do things that we enjoy in life you know simple things like
27:15I enjoy when things are ironic sometimes I'll suffocate a sheep with a woolen jumper and say you did this
27:23laugh
27:24that's what we would know
27:25that's what we would know

27:27if someone goes i'm going to play your material from 20 years ago
27:30yes that still holds up
27:31you that's a double joke as well you did this cause also EWE I mean that's quite smart
27:36I didn't even know that I did that.
27:38You let me just figure that out now.
27:40Celia is currently touring her show Gifthorse around the country.
27:44Head to comedy.com.au for tickets.
27:46Ladies and gentlemen, would you please thank the wonderful Celia Foucault.
28:02Welcome back to The Feet, please.
28:03Ladies and gentlemen, showbiz, would you please welcome our very own cultural correspondent,
28:07it's Mel Chesina.
28:10Hello, Mel.
28:11Lovely to see you.
28:12Speaking of showbiz, apparently there's a very exciting announcement today.
28:16Apparently, Big Brother's coming back.
28:23Oh, my gosh.
28:24Big Brother 2, 2 Big 2 Brother.
28:27Yes.
28:28Big Brother Tokyo Drift.
28:29Yes.
28:30We're working on the title.
28:31This is exciting, so fans want to know, when will it be?
28:34Good question.
28:37Okay.
28:38When do applications open?
28:43Is it back at Dream World?
28:45These are all really good questions.
28:47I would love to give you an answer from Tim.
28:49Are you involved in the production at all?
28:52Well, that's my next question.
28:53Will you be returning as host?
28:56I think so.
28:58I mean, I...
28:58Yes.
28:59Yes.
29:00I know.
29:01I can't wait to hear it.
29:03Headline.
29:03I think so, says presumptuous Mel Chesina.
29:07Well, we asked because, and speaking of headlines, we saw this over the summer in New Idea.
29:11According to sources, Mel has laid down a firm set of demands before she agrees to return.
29:18Yes.
29:19Yes.
29:19Look how angry I was in that.
29:21You were so angry.
29:22What were some of the demands?
29:24Just, you know, like an inflatable kayak.
29:28I said something like, I want my tea like my men.
29:30Strong and bold.
29:33Well, she did not say strong and bold.
29:35She did.
29:36Strong and bold.
29:38Oh.
29:44Well, I like mine bold.
29:47I was wondering how you had a bold cup of tea.
29:51And how do you think you have a bold cup of tea?
29:54I don't know.
29:55I was going to ask you guys the same question.
29:56Yeah, I mean, I guess I don't want hair in my tea.
29:59Yes.
30:02Well, that's answered a lot.
30:06Let's move on.
30:07There's lots happening in the world of showbiz.
30:08Yes, there is.
30:08All right.
30:09So Channel 7 have a brand new renovation show.
30:12My Reno rules.
30:13And who better to host a renovation show than everyone's favourite vet, Dr. Chris Brown.
30:20Of course.
30:20Well, it's good in case that show needs to be put down.
30:22He'll be right on the show.
30:26The judges on these Reno shows, they always show me new ways of using design.
30:31Jargon in my everyday life.
30:33I loved it.
30:35Seriously?
30:36No, seriously.
30:38This bathroom cranked my tractor.
30:44I think that's a product you can get from Sexy Boutique.
30:48Tractor cranker.
30:52Over to 10 for MasterChef Australia.
30:56So the show is in its 18th season and has stepped up with technology and gotten a little meta.
31:08The frames start to play and it's Sophia's first.
31:14It's like a window into her home, which is really sweet.
31:21I think we're going to cut it there.
31:23I think we're about to see her tractor get cranked.
31:28And also, that's not her husband.
31:30Wow.
31:32It's like, I don't think you're...
31:33You're only in your, like...
31:35She's only done a couple of seasons.
31:36It's better only to be working from home.
31:38Yeah.
31:39Come on.
31:40Interesting.
31:40She likes her man like she likes her teeth.
31:43Tall and hairy.
31:53Now, what I love about the show is the banter between the judges and the contestants.
32:00Alita.
32:01Hi.
32:02Are we getting some Latina flavours?
32:03You're actually not.
32:07That's a no.
32:08That's a no.
32:10So, The Floor continues on 9, a game show where contestants verse each other in expert
32:15categories and...
32:19And cakes and eggs.
32:22Contestant Kelsey's expert topic is weddings and she reveals her big advantage.
32:29I think Shane thinks I'm going to be an easy target.
32:33You got this.
32:33You got this.
32:35But I've been married three times.
32:37Ooh.
32:39Full-time lucky.
32:40Wow.
32:41She likes her men like she likes her teeth.
32:45In a multi-pack.
32:53All right, let me get out my showbiz gavel because I have some legal drama.
33:00Friday was the federal court case management hearing for Kyle and Jackie O.
33:04And whilst Jackie O wasn't present, Kyle Sanderlands did attend and he had one message for his former
33:10employer, ARN.
33:12Suggesting he may drop his $85 million lawsuit against the Australian radio network if they
33:19throw him the mic back.
33:21Put me back on the radio and let's get the share price back up.
33:23And have you spoken?
33:24The ARN share price is actually up since Sanderlands were signed on.
33:30This is amazing though.
33:31This is going to be the trial of the year scheduled for later in October, I think.
33:34Yeah.
33:35They're going to do both trials either together or separately.
33:37Yeah.
33:38Which are the two options.
33:41Not really providing as much information as I thought I was.
33:45They're pushing for it to be together.
33:46Yes.
33:47Like barbecue and pizza shapes coming together as well.
33:49Yes.
33:50But this is a big legal talking point, isn't it?
33:52It is.
33:53It is.
33:53All the legalities and these news headlines of this Kyle and Jackie O saga, it's been really
33:57consuming.
33:58So I've decided to switch off and turn to some literature instead.
34:03Yeah.
34:03So for the first time this year, it's time for...
34:06Sorry Time with Mel!
34:14Now Mel has walked off.
34:15Yeah.
34:17I guess we didn't fit her demands that she wanted for the season.
34:21She wanted that kayak.
34:22She wanted lots of things.
34:23Mel, where are you?
34:26I'm just here at the Channel 10 Library.
34:31Look, with my tea that is strong and bold.
34:36A lot of books around you.
34:38There is, yeah.
34:39So I thought we should read some of my favourite passages from an Aussie icon, a book that I've
34:45really been digging my teeth into.
34:47Jackie O.
34:50The whole truth.
34:52Wow.
34:53No reason.
34:53Just like from one successful radio broadcaster to another.
34:58So if everyone wants to gather around and grab their copy, we'll open it together to page
35:0362.
35:04Now this was published last year before all the legal drama.
35:07So this is one of my favourite passages.
35:09Please.
35:09She spoke about the first time that she met Kyle.
35:12Little did I know I had just been introduced to the man who would forever change my life
35:17and become one of my most trusted friends.
35:20His sheer brilliance and our divine chemistry together were about to make history.
35:25By one day becoming Australia's most successful radio show, I would spend the next 24 years
35:30and counting of my life with this wonderful man.
35:33I think you can stop counting there.
35:37This is amazing.
35:39What amazing insights from the gospel according to Jackie.
35:43Jackie O testament.
35:46So if we go to 282, she speaks about, well, she thanks her former employer, ARN, to my bosses
35:55at ARN, thank you for allowing us to make history together, for your constant belief in us and
36:00for your continual loyalty and support.
36:04Yeah, in literature, we call this situational irony.
36:14Which we can also demonstrate by the fact that Mel Trescina is hosting a reading segment.
36:23So, to be fair, I quite liked the book.
36:26I thought Jackie O was really vulnerable.
36:27She talks about her marriages, her divorces and how she's going to do the expert category
36:32on the floor about weddings.
36:35But the most outrageous story that she told was actually this one.
36:38In page 16 of your book, kids.
36:40Of course.
36:41Sorry.
36:41Kids.
36:42I was in year two and desperately wanted to buy an ice block from the tuck shop.
36:47I'd often spend lunchtime inside the church and then one day I noticed a bunch of 20 cent
36:51coins in the donation box.
36:52It was all too easy to take one and buy myself that ice block.
36:56That is outrageous.
36:5820 cents for an ice block.
37:00That is insane.
37:01Insane.
37:02The real crime is inflation.
37:04Yes.
37:05You're damn right.
37:06And that was...
37:07Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
37:09Are you happy with that couch in that setting?
37:13Oh, why?
37:14Are you going to change it up?
37:15Don't say that so flirtily.
37:18You're really cranking my tractor.
37:32Just excuse me for a moment.
37:37Oh, no.
37:39Okay.
37:41Oh, my gosh.
37:44Okay.
37:45I think we'll have to leave that signal there.
37:48Well, hang on.
37:49Hang on.
37:49Hang on.
37:50Let's toss the book into the fire.
37:51Yeah.
37:52Yeah.
37:54That's so flirted.
37:56And after the detainer, would you please take Mel Tresina?
38:17We are so excited to welcome writer and comedian. He's a friend of both of ours. It's Mr. Josh Jack.
38:25Lovely to see you. Thank you so much for coming on.
38:27Great to be here.
38:27Welcome to the show, Josh. This is actually not your first time on TV.
38:32No, it was a while ago now. You probably don't recognise me. I was the little boy that fell into
38:36the gorilla enclosure.
38:39Yeah, Harambe.
38:40I'm all grown up.
38:41That's huge.
38:42It's amazing to see you all grown up.
38:45And not just that either, you also made the news for the way you handled a redundancy meeting.
38:51Yes, a little while ago I was made redundant, fired, whatever, semantics.
38:57But I was living in New Zealand at the time, and over there they allow you to bring in a
39:01support person to the meeting.
39:02So they gave me a little bit of a heads up, and I thought I might be getting fired.
39:07So I thought, who better to cheer me up than a professional?
39:10Yeah, well, let's hear who you chose.
39:13New Zealand man got the last laugh while being fired thanks to his emotional support clown.
39:18Josh Thompson hired Joe the Clown for emotional support when he was being let go.
39:24That's incredible.
39:26Yeah.
39:27So good.
39:28Yeah.
39:29So good.
39:30You brought Joe the Clown to your redundancy meeting for real.
39:34Yeah, yeah.
39:34It was 200 bucks.
39:36Bargain.
39:37I will say, first two minutes of the meeting, pretty funny.
39:41It is like a half an hour long meeting.
39:43And after that, it's kind of just a man that none of us know, sitting there making balloon animals.
39:49While we're all trying to talk.
39:51Yeah, so you're getting fired.
39:52Meanwhile, Joe the Clown is...
39:53Oh, he's doing like crying, mime crying.
39:58And you don't realise how squeaky balloon animals are until you're in a pretty quiet room.
40:04This story was so huge in New Zealand.
40:07In fact, the New Zealand Herald did a write-up at the end of the year of the biggest heroes
40:11of the year.
40:13And there you are there.
40:14And there you are on the front page.
40:16Our heroes.
40:17I don't use the term hero lightly.
40:20Luckily, New Zealand Herald does.
40:22Who else is on that front cover?
40:24Yeah, nine other actual people who did good things.
40:26There's people who raise money for charity, like cancer researchers and stuff.
40:30And it was just me who was, like, pretty bad at my job.
40:36It's so great to have you on the show, Josh.
40:38You are a hero.
40:39You're not here to talk clowns.
40:40Yeah, you're a huge sport fan.
40:42You're going to take us to sport.
40:43Yeah, it's been a huge week in sport.
40:45But no story bigger than Kenyan runner Sebastian Sarway, who smashed the world record running a sub two-hour London
40:52marathon.
40:53Betting the previous record by over a minute, many are putting the time down to the shoesy war.
40:57This is a fighter of the new Adidas Pro Evos 3.
41:02They weigh just under 100 grams each.
41:05Oh, that's my goal weight.
41:09But even after the run, I would say Sarway's biggest achievement was getting through this interview with the BBC Sport.
41:15Would you go sit down now and have some fish and chips and a beer?
41:21No.
41:24He broke the record for the world's fastest interview.
41:27There we go.
41:27Well done.
41:28Beautiful.
41:28But of course it wasn't all about Sarway.
41:31Daddy Pig.
41:32You've been one of the stories of the London Marathon.
41:34Yes, reports were that Daddy Pig ran wee wee wee all the way home.
41:38Wow, that's amazing.
41:40This was a huge story, this London Marathon and this record-breaking run.
41:44Am I right in saying you've also run a marathon before, Josh?
41:47I have.
41:47Thank you for bringing it up.
41:48One time.
41:49Heroes.
41:50Marathon heroes.
41:53Yeah, a little bit slower than the two-hour mark.
41:57But it must have been worth it, though, because at the end of when you do a marathon, you get
42:00that big photo crossing the finish line.
42:01You get the photo, it's, um, I was looking forward to it, you know, it's the only thing you really
42:05have to show that you did do the marathon.
42:08So I finished it, had a few choccy milks, and then they sent me my big finishing photo.
42:12I think we got it here.
42:13Right.
42:14Amazing photo.
42:15Yeah, that is mostly another man.
42:18Are you in this photo?
42:20Technically I am in there.
42:21If you look close.
42:24That's the photo they sent you of, you did it.
42:26Yeah, yeah.
42:27It's, I'm technically, yeah, I'm in there, but I feel weird about having it in my house.
42:32Um, but it wasn't just the London Marathon that ran over the weekend.
42:37Robots have outrun people at this year's Beijing Half Marathon.
42:41The Beijing Half Marathon.
42:43It was just incredible to see a white athlete move that far.
42:46Wow!
42:46That is incredible.
42:47That is incredible.
42:48It is incredible.
42:49Um, but we've got to move on to the soccer.
42:52Uh, the A-League regular season has concluded with Newcastle Jets taking out Men's League, uh, and the Melbourne City
42:58taking out the Women's League.
42:59Uh, but for more on that, we cross live to Marty Sheargold.
43:02Sorry, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
43:04no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
43:04I'm not going to do that.
43:06Yeah.
43:06Uh, well the Newcastle Jets did secure the Premiership after drawing 2-2 with Melbourne Victory in a game that
43:12saw attendance skyrocket.
43:13Though not in the way you'd expect.
43:16Picked the best defences in this competition this season.
43:21Look, a few Seagulls, I'm sure it'll be fine.
43:24They'll fly away.
43:25It won't take away anything from the game.
43:26It's just crazy stuff.
43:29Look at the Seagulls.
43:31They say it's good luck when a bird poos on you.
43:34Surely there's a limit.
43:35Uh, to the NRL now where Broncos player Katoni Staggs managed to play through an injured plantar fascia.
43:42Uh, and if you don't know what that means, don't worry.
43:44We've got Jonathan Thurston to explain it in the medium of facial expression.
43:48Obviously I snapped my plantar fascia last week and, um, you know, I had to get through it.
43:56I guess that translates to bad.
43:58Yeah.
43:59Um, but lastly, uh, I want to talk about this.
44:02I don't know if you've heard the news, but I did an Ancestry DNA test and it's come back that
44:06I'm 1.5% Indian.
44:08Okay.
44:09Yeah.
44:091.5%.
44:10Um, which they say is enough to get into the Indian Premier League cricket.
44:13Okay, great.
44:14Not enough to do the accent.
44:18I have been watching the IPL.
44:21That is huge, yeah.
44:21Um, and if you, like me, are looking to get into it and get to know the players, I recommend
44:25starting here.
44:26Got to be one of the greatest names in world cricket.
44:30Napoleon Einstein.
44:32Napoleon Einstein.
44:33Wow.
44:34He's one of the best.
44:35He's no Genghis Bin Laden, but he's one of the best.
44:40And that's my week in sport.
44:41On that note, we've got to take a break.
44:42Would you please thank Josh Jarris.
44:57Welcome back to the cheap seat.
44:59Sorry, we're...
44:59The show's still on.
45:00We were tucking into our burrata.
45:02It's a great odd show.
45:05You know what?
45:09Delicious.
45:11What else is making news?
45:12Retro gaming is having a bit of a comeback, with more people picking up the controller as part of their
45:19digital disconnect.
45:20No better way to disconnect from digital than going digital.
45:24No, this was an interesting story on Channel 9 News Queensland, and it's inspired this week's edition of...
45:33Reporter.
45:34Oh, boy.
45:36Which this week goes to Channel 9's Ned Barr, one of the friends of the show,
45:40who had one of the greatest sign-offs we've seen.
45:43Recent studies have also shown that little hit of nostalgia can also benefit your mental health.
45:47Almost like passing that Mario level or beating the boss in Street Fighter 2.
45:52Excuse me.
45:57Unbelievable.
45:58Congratulations.
45:59He was reporting on inflation.
46:00It had nothing to do with...
46:03Congratulations, Ned.
46:04You are our...
46:05You are our...
46:06You are our...
46:06You are our...
46:07You are our...
46:07You are our...
46:08You are our...
46:09Reporter of the week.
46:10On that note, we are down a big thank you to Cheryl, Celia Pocorna, and Josh Jack.
46:15Absolutely.
46:16There we go.
46:17Excuse me.
46:19Hello again.
46:21I'll see you next week.
46:22Heidi, I'm the Chaser.
