00:00These three contestants all work on the front line.
00:03Who'll be the first to respond to our call to win our $20,000 jackpot?
00:07I'm Todd Woodbridge, let's find out on Tipping Point.
00:30Hello and welcome to Tipping Point where these three special contestants are ready to take
00:35on our machine.
00:35So let's meet them.
00:36My name is Roland from Sydney, a police officer of 20 years, I've worked in a number of different
00:41commands including the Counter-Terrorism Command.
00:43Hi, I'm Michelle, I'm from Melbourne, I've been a paramedic for over 20 years.
00:47If I look a bit familiar, I've also been known as Mama Pog on TikTok.
00:52Hi Todd, my name's Adam and rounding out the Triple O Showdown, I'm a firefighter from Sydney
00:57and if I win any money today, I have a 17-year-old son who just got his peas and
01:01he's hankering
01:01for a new car so there might be some negotiations going on later.
01:06You like that.
01:07Would you like to introduce that 17-year-old?
01:10This is Max.
01:11G'day Max, how are ya?
01:13Loving life, got the licence, just needs a vehicle to get around.
01:17Yes, yes he does.
01:17Fantastic.
01:18Well we look forward to seeing whether you're able to pull that one off today.
01:21Michelle, Mama Pog.
01:22Yes, my daughter wanted to make a TikTok.
01:24I said yes and 4 million views later, there I was up in lights, so it was great.
01:30Wowie, let's see if you can be that impressive today on the show.
01:32I hope so.
01:32Good luck to you.
01:33And Roland, 20 years in the force, that's a long time.
01:36It's a good job.
01:37Was that your first choice of job, that's what you wanted to do?
01:38It was, yep.
01:39Just helping people I suppose that got me there, yep.
01:41Fantastic.
01:42Well this is going to be fun.
01:43We've got the copper, we've got the paramedic, we've got the fiery and they're all about
01:47to play round one.
01:48Let's do it.
01:49It's Bank Builder.
01:55Righto, Bank Builder's your chance to make some serious cash in this round.
01:58Every counter you can push over the tipping point will put $100 into your bank.
02:02And in the round, you each start with three counters.
02:05If you buzz in and answer correctly, you can choose to play one of your counters into the
02:09machine, or you could ask one of your opponents to play one of theirs instead.
02:13If you answer incorrectly, or don't answer within three seconds, then I'm going to take
02:17a counter away from you.
02:19Now in the machine, top shelf, two double counters.
02:21If you can push those over, you'll double the value of your drop, along with the two mysteries
02:25that are on the bottom left.
02:27Push those over and you'll be going home with a great prize.
02:30Time to get started.
02:31Hands on buzzers.
02:32Here's your first question.
02:34Which family of large hairy spiders derives its name from the Italian city of Taranto?
02:39Adam.
02:40Tarantula.
02:40That's correct.
02:41Yes.
02:42Right.
02:43Breathe easy now, Adam.
02:44You've got one right.
02:45Where would you like to go, and or if you want to play the first counter?
02:49Well, I didn't come this far just to pass, so I'm going to play, I'll ask my son.
02:55He's thinking one.
02:56Should we take the advice of a teenager?
02:58Ah.
03:00Alright.
03:00We'll go drop zone one.
03:02Light it up.
03:03First one.
03:03See if we can get a bit of a payday early here.
03:11Okay.
03:13Oh.
03:15Finally there.
03:17Yeah.
03:19Now that's not necessarily Max's fault.
03:22Yes it is.
03:23It just sat in that little crevice there, it needed to get directly behind.
03:27So one down for you, Adam, as we move on to our second question.
03:31Said to have the world's cleanest air, Cape Grim is part of which Australian state?
03:36Adam.
03:37Tasmania.
03:37That's correct.
03:38Now, do you go again?
03:41Or would you let someone else see what they can do?
03:44No, I'm going to keep playing, but I was thinking two.
03:48I'll ignore my son.
03:49Let's go drop zone two.
03:50Okay.
03:51Righto.
03:52Light that one up for us.
03:59Alright.
04:01Yeah.
04:02I'm happy with that.
04:03Oh, come on.
04:04Don't do it again.
04:06There we go.
04:07Okay.
04:08Give me something.
04:09Give me something.
04:10Yay!
04:11Well done.
04:12Well done.
04:13I'll take it.
04:14That's four over the tipping point.
04:16400 will go into the machine.
04:17We put that into the bank and you've got a lead, but only one counter left to place.
04:23Alright.
04:23Here comes the next question.
04:25Love is a battlefield and hit me with your best shot.
04:28Pat Benatar.
04:29Yes, Roland.
04:31Yes.
04:31Pat Benatar.
04:32I'll take that.
04:33Yeah, sorry.
04:33And you're so quick on it.
04:35Just let me get your name out first next time.
04:38Now, what would you like to do?
04:40I'll go with number one.
04:41Light up one for Roland.
04:43And being the police officer, I'm going to listen to what he says.
04:47Yeah.
04:47Hopefully, uh...
04:49Oh, I'm supposed to buzz it.
04:50Yeah, you've got to put a bit in there.
04:53Oh, no.
04:54No, it's okay.
04:55There's plenty of room at the moment.
04:57That's good.
04:58Yeah, and down it goes.
05:00It'll slide on down that left-hand wall.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Hopefully, knock something down.
05:05Keep up with the firefighter over there.
05:06Here we go.
05:09Oh, here we go.
05:13Nice work.
05:14And you're not done yet.
05:16Because you're going to get another push here.
05:18Alright, let's go.
05:18Let's see.
05:19Come on.
05:22Almost gets the mystery with it.
05:24Five over for you, Roland.
05:25You'll take the lead off Adam down the other end.
05:28Take the 500 from the machine, put that into the bank,
05:31and it's a one-counter lead over Adam.
05:33Alright.
05:34Here comes the next question.
05:36Popularised by model and TV personality Tyra Banks,
05:40the term smize means smiling with what body part, Michelle?
05:44Your eyes.
05:45That's correct.
05:47Smizing.
05:48Well, don't tell the other two,
05:50but I fancy myself a mystery.
05:52So light up Drop Zone 1, please, Dodd.
05:54I'm going to light it up.
05:55I won't tell them, though.
05:56No, don't tell them.
05:56No, no.
06:03Okay.
06:05What will that do?
06:05If it goes right, it will be good.
06:07Come on, just one.
06:08Oh, yes.
06:09Alright, good, good.
06:10Hopefully you get a lateral there.
06:11Something.
06:12Yes!
06:13You got it!
06:15Love a tight game.
06:17Four including the mystery, Michelle.
06:18You'll get $400.
06:19It goes into the machine.
06:21We'll whip it out there, put it into your bank,
06:22and that means you and Adam are tied,
06:24but you're not going home empty-handed
06:26because you can discover the stunning beauty
06:28of this Milky Way stacking ring,
06:30thanks to Iketcho Australia,
06:32featuring nine sparkling opals
06:34valued at over $1,700.
06:37Oh, my goodness.
06:39Wow.
06:42Very good.
06:43Well, Roland, Michelle,
06:43you've got two counters left to play.
06:45Adam, you've got a single counter
06:46as we head on to the next question.
06:49In cricket, the term caught behind
06:51typically refers to a catch by a player
06:53in which fielding position?
06:54Michelle?
06:55Wicket keeper?
06:56Yeah, correct.
06:56Oh.
06:57You look like you thought you failed when you doubted.
07:00I doubted myself for a second.
07:02You did.
07:02You thought you'd had a drop catch, didn't you?
07:03I did.
07:04Right.
07:04Where do you want to go this time, Michelle?
07:06Um, I think I might pass this one
07:08because it looks a bit emptier up the top there
07:10and the bottom.
07:11I will pass to Roland.
07:13Right, Roland.
07:14That's interesting, isn't it?
07:15Because there's still two drop zones we haven't played,
07:17three and four.
07:18I'm going to go four.
07:20Okay, light it up.
07:29Oh, hello.
07:30Ambient.
07:32Oh, could be good, could be good.
07:34Oh, this is spreading too.
07:35Come on.
07:35Spread it up.
07:37Well done.
07:38You're well, man.
07:39I'll set it up for you.
07:40Thank you, thank you.
07:41Two came over the tipping point
07:42and that means, Roland, you'll have 700
07:44when we move it out of the machine,
07:46put that into your bank and that gets you
07:48a three-counter lead over Michelle and Adam.
07:50You got a counter left, so's Adam.
07:51Michelle, you've still got two.
07:53The next question.
07:54In maths, a number that has been cubed
07:56has been raised to the power of what digit?
07:59Adam, three.
08:00That's correct.
08:01Right, Adam.
08:03Drop zone three.
08:05That means we'll have played all of the drop zones.
08:16Could be good.
08:17Could be good.
08:18Yeah, man's got in behind the black one, so that's good.
08:20Yeah, that's good.
08:21Driver.
08:21Hello.
08:23And...
08:25Yes.
08:25Very good.
08:30Alright.
08:31Eighteen, I think it was, Todd.
08:32Divided by three, at least.
08:34We'll give you six.
08:35Alright, I'll take it.
08:36600 goes up and into the machine
08:39and we'll put that into your bank
08:40and at the end of the round you'll have $1,000.
08:42Nice work.
08:43Good tally.
08:44Alright, Adam, you've used all three counters,
08:46so you're out of it at the moment.
08:47Roland's got one left
08:48and Michelle, you have two.
08:50And the next question is this.
08:52Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in the 90s teen horror film
08:55I Know What You Did last...
08:57Michelle?
08:58Summer.
08:58Correct.
09:00Last what?
09:01And it was summer?
09:03Right.
09:04You passed the last time.
09:06I'm pretty sure you probably won't do that now.
09:07No, I think I'll play this one
09:08and I think light up drop zone three, please.
09:11Light it up, please.
09:12Yes.
09:19Oh, it's alright.
09:20It's behind one of them.
09:21At least.
09:22Give it a big push.
09:24Let's go push something over.
09:26Oh.
09:27Bad luck there.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Hmm.
09:30I know.
09:31It looked like it was going to come over.
09:32Might get another bump.
09:33We'll wait and see.
09:35No.
09:36No.
09:37Okay.
09:38Down to the final two counters.
09:39Second last question.
09:41As well as his Paris Tower, Gustave Eiffel designed the internal structure of which New York?
09:46Roland?
09:47Eiffel Tower.
09:48New York landmark.
09:50Oh.
09:51The Statue of Liberty.
09:52The Statue of Liberty.
09:53Yes.
09:53Oh, Roland.
09:54Got to take that one away from you.
09:56No.
09:56Alright.
09:56That means that you're out of the game.
09:57It'll keep you three behind Adam.
09:59And Michelle, you've got the final question.
10:01Don't need to buzz in.
10:02Do you need to give me an answer?
10:04You've got three seconds to do it.
10:05Here it is.
10:06A false clue or idea intended to distract attention is commonly known as a what colour herring?
10:13Red.
10:14Correct.
10:14Well done, Michelle.
10:15Right.
10:17Michelle, you're three behind Roland, you're six behind Adam.
10:20What can you get out of this final counter?
10:22Line up three please, Todd.
10:23Light it up.
10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:31Goodness me.
10:32That was bad timing.
10:33That one's another rider.
10:34Yeah.
10:35It's going to climb up on top.
10:35Another Winona.
10:37Oh.
10:37Hello.
10:38Yeah.
10:38Lucky.
10:39That's unusual.
10:40We'll get some here.
10:42Hey.
10:43I was lucky.
10:44Yeah.
10:45That's kind of getting something out of nothing, you could call that drop.
10:48Yeah.
10:48That was 200, so 200's going to go up.
10:51We're going to take it from the machine, add it to your total.
10:54Michelle, you'll have 600.
10:55And at the end of our bank build around, it's a very tight race between the police, the paramedics
11:01and the fire is, and we'll be back after the break to see who can survive in quick fire.
11:18Welcome back to our very special first responders episode of Tipping Point today.
11:23Roland is our police officer, Michelle is our paramedic, and Adam is our firefighter.
11:27One of you will go on to play for $20,000 to find out who's going to stay in the
11:31game.
11:32Let's play quick fire.
11:38So in quick fire, you each have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
11:42For every correct answer, I'll give you a counter to play into the machine.
11:46Now, the contestant with the lowest score at the end of this round, we have to say goodbye to.
11:50So, Adam, you've got the lead, that gives you first dibs if you would like to take it.
11:56Yes.
11:57Yes it is, alright.
11:58Will play.
12:00So I'll put 30 seconds on the clock, and your time starts now.

12:34But...
12:35Hey!
12:39Got a Taylor Swift question right.
12:41Yeah!
12:42Did you know he was a Swifty, Max?
12:44Zara would be proud.
12:45That's Zara being your daughter.
12:47I do have a 12-year-old daughter, so if I got that wrong, she would not be happy.
12:51Oh, well you've made her very proud.
12:52We've got four to play here, good luck, where are you off to?
12:56I do like a mystery, so let's go drop zone two please, Todd.
13:00Okay.
13:01Light that up.
13:09It's flat.
13:10At least it's flat.
13:11It's sort of sitting in between possible rows though.
13:15Oh!
13:16Oh!
13:17You get away with it.
13:18Yes.
13:18Pushes from both sides.
13:20Yes.
13:22Alright.
13:23Setting the game alight you are, Adam, with seven over the tipping point.
13:26$700 goes up.
13:28Awesome.
13:29Alright, thank you.
13:31Three more to go though.
13:33We'll keep chasing that mystery.
13:34Let's go drop zone two.
13:36Thanks.
13:36Light it up.
13:44Yeah, it's going to be flat.
13:45Should be fine.
13:46A little lateral maybe?
13:47Yeah, go to the right.
13:48Almost.
13:49Oh!
13:49Well done.
13:50Double push again.
13:51Hello.
13:53Oh!
13:56Awesome.
13:56Another half a dozen.
13:58So that's going to take you well over a thousand in the machine.
14:00That'll give you $1,300.
14:02And you've still got two more, Adam.
14:05Let's stick it with two, Todd.
14:06Keep chasing that mystery.
14:08Light it up.
14:11Come on.
14:12Mystery or another $1,300.
14:13I'll take it.
14:14Take it.
14:16Oh, that was a heavy drop.
14:19Oh, active.
14:20Keep going.
14:20No, it's a good position again, I think.
14:23Oh!
14:24Another.
14:24Another one.
14:25It's not just one coming over.
14:26There's these wide pushes.
14:29Wow.
14:31It's another half a dozen.
14:32Another $600.
14:33Keep going.
14:35$1,900.
14:37Okay.
14:38One more.
14:39Just leave some.
14:40Yeah.
14:41Just something.
14:44We'll just keep chasing the mystery.
14:46Let's go drop zone two.
14:47Thanks.
14:47Light it up.
14:49Or another six.
14:51Either way.
14:52Oh!
14:56Yeah.
14:57Again, it's going to get something off.
14:59That looks nice.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Take it.
15:03Yeah, a little.
15:03That way.
15:04Might get a push.
15:05That way.
15:05Yeah, it's going to push it.
15:08Okay.
15:09Just one more.
15:10Just to make it look nice and even.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Yeah, yeah.
15:13Just to give it $2,000.
15:15Wow.
15:15Let's take it out of there.
15:16Yeah.
15:16That's an incredible amount for you.
15:18When we add it into the bank, Adam.
15:20Yeah.
15:20$3,000.
15:23Well done.
15:24Awesome.
15:25Good work, Adam.
15:26Well done.
15:28Adam, you've set a very large target for both Roland and Michelle.
15:31I certainly did.
15:32Roland, you're a one counter in front of Michelle.
15:33So you two are going to have a little battle between yourself.
15:36It's the police versus the paramedics.
15:38Roland, you've got the option of playing first if you would like.
15:41I'll play.
15:41I don't think there's as much left in there as what he took out, but.
15:44See if you can chase him.
15:45You just never know.
15:46So I'll put 30 seconds on the clock.
15:48Good luck.
15:49Your time starts now.
15:51Hydroelectricity is generated by the flow of what liquid?
15:53Water.
15:54Correct.
15:54In 2023, Andrew Dillon took over as CEO of which Australian sports organisation?
15:59Soccer.
16:00AFL.
16:01Giacconi is the surname of which Grammy-winning female music icon?
16:06Pass.
16:07Madonna.
16:07In Australian slang, Yui is commonly short for the name of what traffic manoeuvre?
16:12U-turn.
16:12Correct.
16:13What is the most populous city in the Nordic country of Finland?
16:18Finlandia.
16:19Helsinki.
16:20Alexander Skarsgård plays...
16:22Two.
16:25Right.
16:27Roland.
16:29There's pressure there, not just from Adam.
16:30Can you get enough in front of Michelle to challenge Adam in the next round?
16:34That's your target here.
16:36I might chase that mystery.
16:39I'll get it two.
16:40Okay.
16:40I've got it a bit closer for you.
16:44You might need both the counters to get it.
16:46I don't have the fire hose that my friend was using.
16:50Yeah, right.
16:51Let's see how we go.
16:52That's nice.
16:53That could definitely go over.
16:55Adam was definitely washing them down for sure.
16:58Here we go.
17:00Trying to get something hopefully.
17:03One.
17:03One's alright.
17:04One.
17:05A hundred goes up.
17:06Might need to put the siren on here, Roland.
17:07Oh.
17:08As I was saying, I wanted to borrow his fire hose.
17:12Alright, I'm going to go number three.
17:13Let's go three.
17:14Light up drop zone three.
17:17Remember there's still the game within the game between you and Michelle.
17:23Oh, that's good.
17:24It's flat.
17:24What's that looking?
17:25I think we'll get something there.
17:26Yep.
17:26I think that'll push it over.
17:28Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:29Oh!
17:30Good stuff.
17:31That's good.
17:31That's good.
17:32There we go.
17:37That's another few that came over.
17:39We'll put 300 in.
17:40So that'll give you 400.
17:41Let's take it out.
17:42Put that in your bank.
17:43Roland, you'll have 1,100.
17:44Generally, that's pretty good.
17:47That's good.
17:48Michelle, you're next.
17:50Five counters behind Roland.
17:52Good luck.
17:52You're ready to play.
17:53Yes.
17:5330 seconds is on the clock.
17:55And your time starts.
17:56Now, in the Winnie the Pooh books by A.M. Milne, what animal is kangaroo?
18:00Kangaroo.
18:01Correct.
18:02Which element of the periodic table has the chemical symbol U?
18:05Uranium.
18:06Correct.
18:07Which iconic French singer was known as the Little Sparrow?
18:10Pass.
18:11Edith Piaf.
18:11Jacinta Allen became State Premier of Victoria in 23, succeeding Andrews.
18:16Incorrect.
18:16Also called sinew, what connective tissue in the human body attaches muscle to bone?
18:21Cartilage.
18:22Tendon.
18:23The African country of Kenya has a coastline on which ocean?
18:27Atlantic.
18:27Indian.
18:292.
18:302.
18:31Alright.
18:31Anticipation there on the Victorian one.
18:33We're looking for the previous premier being Daniel Andrews.
18:36So, 2 it is.
18:38Can you find 5 to tie Roland or 6 to go through?
18:44Light up drop zone 2.
18:46Light up 2.
18:47Save that mystery.
18:48And if not, get something else to go home with.
18:50Let's go.
18:50Let's just have a go.
18:51Yeah.
18:51Absolutely.
18:53Absolutely.
18:54I'd like it in the middle there.
18:55If I could.
18:55Right there.
18:56Perfect.
18:58Right on line for another mystery Michelle.
19:00I said I was here for them.
19:01Here I am.
19:02Oh.
19:04Oh.
19:05Except you're going to need another counter.
19:07Light up drop zone 2.
19:09Thanks Todd.
19:09Let's go back there again.
19:10Yep.
19:12Yep.
19:17Oh.
19:17Oh.
19:18Oh, you got away with that.
19:18It's not a Winona.
19:19It's not a Winona.
19:20And that hopefully will push that over.
19:22Come on.
19:23Yes.
19:23Yes.
19:24Let's go.
19:25Come on.
19:26Hopefully it gives it a good push.
19:28Oh.
19:29Oh.
19:30I've left one for the boys.
19:31You've left it for them.
19:32I've left one for the boys.
19:32Thanks Michelle.
19:33You've got 100.
19:34We'll put it in.
19:36Take it out of the machine.
19:37Put that into your total and you'll have 700 Michelle.
19:40Not quite going to be enough because at the end of our quick fire round, Roland's got
19:431,100.
19:44Adam's got a good lead of 3,000 and Michelle, unfortunately, we've found your tipping points.
19:49Thanks.
19:49All the best guys.
19:51All the best.
19:52All the best.
19:53Have fun.
19:54It was great having you on.
19:55Thank you very much for having me.
19:56First responders, incredibly important to our community, particularly what you do in terms
20:01of being a paramedic.
20:03On behalf of everybody watching.
20:08And Roland, Adam, you two are about to go head to head.
20:11It's the police versus the fireys.
20:12Who's going to play for the 20,000?
20:14Stick around to find out on tipping point.
20:26Welcome back to our first responders episode.
20:29Roland, our police officer, has got a bit of work to do to track down Adam, our fiery
20:34today.
20:34You're about to go head to head, but let's find a little bit more about both of you.
20:38Roland, you've got your wife with you here today.
20:41Hello, Linda.
20:42Hello.
20:42And a couple of cousins.
20:44Yeah, she's got a cousin, Marie and Jackie with them.
20:46Hi, guys.
20:47Linda, let me ask you this.
20:48My father was a police officer.
20:50Living with a policeman is not an easy thing to do.
20:53Yes and no.
20:54He does switch off when he comes home.
20:56That's good.
20:56So it makes it easier.
20:57But you worry, right?
20:58You do worry, but we only see the funny, relaxed, easygoing Roland at home.
21:04Perfect.
21:04That's a good thing to be able to do.
21:06How many kids you got at home?
21:07We have three.
21:07Fantastic.
21:08Three kids.
21:09Ages Roland?
21:1011, 12, 13.
21:12Fantastic.
21:12That will keep you busy.
21:14That is for sure.
21:15And not only that, you went into the police force quite young, right?
21:18Yes, I was 21.
21:1921.
21:19Okay.
21:20And you stayed in there.
21:21Well, thank you for doing what you do.
21:22Massively important.
21:25And now, Adam, Max here, he's been putting on quite a show behind you.
21:30You haven't been able to watch him.
21:31He's going pretty well, Max.
21:32How are you feeling about his performance today?
21:34This is awesome.
21:35Best I've seen out of all the Tipping Point episodes I've watched.
21:38I like that.
21:40Fantastic.
21:41Any other words of wisdom as he gets set to try to hang on to this lead?
21:44Don't take too many big risks.
21:46Play it safe.
21:47Alright, we'll see whether you're able to do that or not.
21:50Thanks, Max.
21:51But, Adam, before you went into firefighting, you were in hospitality.
21:55Why the change?
21:56Yeah.
21:57Hotel Concierge was a great life for a single guy, but not too family friendly.
22:03And the life of a firefighter is pretty cool as well.
22:07Yeah.
22:07So, I haven't regretted a second of it.
22:09Good to see.
22:10Now, I'm a bit intrigued by the jacket and the logo that you've got just above your left
22:16pocket there.
22:16Yeah, this is the logo of the Cronulla Polar Bears, one of my swimming teams.
22:19I'm still heavy into my swimming.
22:21When you say you're still into your swimming, that was because in your youth, Max's age,
22:25you were pretty good.
22:26Yeah.
22:26Yeah, I did alright.
22:27Oh, go on.
22:28Boast just a little bit.
22:29Well, I didn't get to the Olympics, but...
22:31But you were very close.
22:32Yeah, I was a very close.
22:34Close race, so...
22:35And that logo, you said the Cronulla...
22:37Cronulla Polar Bears, yeah, the winter swimming.
22:39They're the crazy guys who swim at the beach throughout winter and everyone laughs.
22:42And those crazy guys that you swim with, are they all crazy enough too to have put the
22:46same logo as a tattoo?
22:48Not all of them.
22:49There are a few guys who've joined me, but yeah, I've been with the Polar Bears for almost
22:5330 years.
22:54Where's this tattoo?
22:55Just here.
22:56Okay.
22:56My producer, she'd love to see it.
23:01Oh, there it is!
23:02Have a look at that!
23:03There it is!
23:06So, Polar Bear for life now.
23:08Fantastic.
23:09Well, we've got to keep the game moving along.
23:11Roland, you've got a lot of work to do.
23:1319 counters behind as you two get set to go head-to-head.
23:21And in our head-to-head round, you each get two questions.
23:24If you answer your question correctly, you get the counter to play in the machine.
23:27But if you get it wrong, your opponent steals it.
23:29If you're unsure, you can pass the question.
23:31Adam, you're up first.
23:33Alright.
23:33As you have the lead.
23:34Here's the question.
23:35Born in Rockhampton in 1938, which retired Australian tennis player is nicknamed Rocket?
23:41Pass or play?
23:43I will play and save Rod Laver.
23:47Roland?
23:48What did he say?
23:49Good.
23:52100%.
23:52Is it Rocket Rod Laver?
23:56Of course it is.
23:57The only man to have won two calendar year Grand Slams.
24:01Alright.
24:02Playing it beautifully today, Adam.
24:03Where off to next?
24:04Alright, well.
24:05Michelle set that mystery up for us.
24:07So, let's have a go at two.
24:09Light up drop zone two.
24:12There's not as many left after I clean the board, but...
24:15May as well get more.
24:19Oh dear.
24:20I thought that was going to ride, but it dumped back off.
24:23So did I.
24:23And it's flat.
24:24But it's nowhere near the mystery.
24:27Oh.
24:30Oh.
24:32Just keeps chugging along.
24:34Whew.
24:35That's four.
24:35Another four will go into the machine.
24:37400.
24:38And so, we'll take it out of there.
24:39That'll give you 3,400.
24:41And that's now a 23-counter lead.
24:45Time to cut his hose, I think, Roland.
24:47Oh, yeah.
24:49Right.
24:50Your first question.
24:51They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
24:54Is a lyric from what 1970s song by Joni Mitchell?
24:59Pass or play.
25:01My love is a music.
25:02I reckon she's looking at me going, you better know it.
25:04I know the song.
25:05It's just not...
25:06Just not coming.
25:07I'm gonna...
25:08I'm gonna pass through the fire here.
25:14Oh, yeah.
25:16I can...
25:17I can hear it.
25:19I have to give you an answer, so let's just say shake it off.
25:26Your daughter, Zara, was lovely for that.
25:29Is it shake it off?
25:32Big yellow taxi.
25:33Big yellow taxi.
25:34Big yellow taxi.
25:36Right.
25:36He's vaulted, Roland.
25:38It's your chance.
25:39Come on.
25:41Okay.
25:41Line-up number two.
25:42I'm gonna try and get that mystery.
25:44Fair enough, too.
25:49Yeah, there it is.
25:51Yeah.
25:51That's yours.
25:52Mystery.
25:53Hopefully we get to...
25:54Go on the mystery.
25:54Go on the mystery.
25:56Oh.
25:57Yes.
25:57Come on.
25:59I've got to go with stuck and slowly.
26:01Come on.
26:01Oh.
26:05Look at that.
26:06It doesn't want to come down.
26:07It was yours.
26:08It's fine.
26:09You should arrest our machine.
26:10That's criminal.
26:11You've got a couple over, though.
26:12So it's $200 we'll add to your bank account.
26:16Let's take it from the machine, put it in there.
26:17And you've got $1,300.
26:20But I tell you what, Adam's building a magnificent bank and we'll be back after the break to see
26:24how much he accumulates here.
26:26Could he pay for the $20,000?
26:27Will he win that?
26:27We'll find out next on Tipping Point.
26:39Welcome back, everyone.
26:41Super episode.
26:41Adam's got a strong lead of 21 counters and you have the next question.
26:46Inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2005, the ancient city of Syracuse is on
26:52which Mediterranean island?
26:54Pass or play?
26:56Ooh.
26:56That's a good one.
26:58I'm going to check out Roland's poker face, or his interrogation face is probably more
27:02like it.
27:04Because I have no idea, so I'm going to have to pass it.
27:07Alright.
27:10Roland, that means you could possibly get two counters and catch up.
27:13If I knew it.
27:16I'm not 100% sure, but I'm not sure why Crete is on my head, but I'm just going to
27:21say Crete.
27:21Okay.
27:22Crete, we'll find out if that's the correct answer.
27:28Sicily.
27:28It is.
27:29Sicily.
27:30Bad luck.
27:31Adam, you've got the counter.
27:33Alright.
27:34I don't know whether to go for the mystery now.
27:37If I take the mystery off Roland, he might be waiting for me in the car park.
27:43But, yeah, let's go drop zone two.
27:45Oh, he's gone for it.
27:48Absolutely no sympathy.
27:49No, fire is big cops.
27:50Always come after and just take the credit.
27:53I wouldn't be allowed back at the fire station if I didn't do this.
27:56Oh, my.
28:01Oh.
28:03There is a bit of a gap.
28:05Does it get something off the top?
28:07It does.
28:09This will have to be lateral if it's going to get it.
28:11We'll have to leave it for you afterwards.
28:13Oh, he's left it for you, Roland.
28:14So now you've got to take it.
28:16That's two more.
28:17So $200 will go in our machine.
28:19$3,600.
28:21And normally I'd say it's like a game within a game.
28:24But this is just a game that we're all rooting for Roland to get the mystery counter.
28:28Come on, Roland.
28:30Here's your final question.
28:31Thank you, thank you.
28:37Unfortunately we need that thing to give it to me though.
28:40We might just give you the answer so you can have a crack.
28:43Can't do that.
28:44But here's your question.
28:45At the start of a standard game of Jenga, how many blocks make up each layer of the stack?
28:52Pass or play?
28:54I'll play.
28:54Yep.
28:56Three?
28:56Let's find out if it's three.
29:00Let's go.
29:01Come on, Roland.
29:04Come on.
29:05Alright.
29:08Let's see.
29:09Okay.
29:10Right.
29:11Lock and drop zone two.
29:13Right.
29:15Roland, I want you to go home with the mystery counter.
29:17Let's light up two.
29:19Come on.
29:19Light up.
29:23Here we go.
29:25Left, left, left.
29:28Yes.
29:29That's got to be it.
29:30Come on.
29:30We'll see.
29:31We've got that one.
29:33Whoa.
29:34Whoa.
29:35Whoa.
29:38I'm sorry.
29:39I feel like I let them down.
29:41Hang on.
29:43Let's go.
29:43Keep going.
29:44I'm sorry.
29:45Go on.
29:45I've got to have a kit the machine and get it for you.
29:49Thank you and I'm sorry.
29:49But I'm happy for my friend here.
29:51You're a good man, Roland, because at the end of our head-to-head round, Adam with 3,600,
29:55you know you're safe, Roland.
29:57Unfortunately for you, with only 1,300, we've found your tipping point.
30:03Good luck, man.
30:04Roland, great playing.
30:06Great attitude.
30:07Thanks for everything that you do in our community with the work that you've done in
30:09over 20 years in the force.
30:11I hope you've had a great time with us here on Tipping Point.
30:13I did.
30:14It was easy to draw myself straight.
30:15Good stuff.
30:16Well, Adam, so everybody back at the station, they're going to be going yee-haw because
30:21you're playing for this, the jackpot counter.
30:23We're $20,000.
30:25Yes.
30:26We're all hoping you can continue to form and master our machine.
30:29Will you?
30:30We'll find out right after the break.
30:44Welcome back to Tipping Point.
30:46Adam, you got through.
30:47Of all the first responders, it seems the fireys do best.
30:51They must be sitting at the table doing all of those quizzes, waiting for the next call.
30:56Is that what happens?
30:57That's pretty much what happens.
30:58We do spend a lot of downtime doing a few quizzes and watching Tipping Point.
31:03Yeah, good.
31:03We love that.
31:04Whilst in the gym.
31:04Now look, you've got $3,600.
31:06That's your own money now.
31:08Yeah.
31:08We want you to get more.
31:10Before we do that, what do you love about being a firefighter?
31:13It's an amazing job.
31:14We get to be out in the community, helping the community, just driving the big red truck
31:19down the street and having the kids wave at you.
31:21It's an amazing feeling.
31:22It's obviously not all about putting out fires because we would rather be back at the station
31:28or at a school teaching kids about safety and preventing the fires.
31:32We've got all the slogans in the world, you know, change your clocks, change your smoke
31:36alarm battery, keep looking when cooking, keep a meter from the heater, all the fun
31:40ones, because it really is about preventing the fires.
31:44So we're there, prepared for anything.
31:46Now Max, there was talk at the beginning of the show that this goes very well.
31:51There might be some money for a car.
31:52How are you feeling about it at the moment?
31:54Yeah, hopefully he wins the 20k.
31:56I would love to be rocking up in a BMW school next week.
32:00You've got to work your way to that, Max.
32:02I think he's looking at the doubles and thinking a little bit far ahead.
32:06Right, well let's see if we can get you some money towards this vehicle that you're after.
32:10You ready, Adam?
32:11I'm ready.
32:12Let's play the jackpot round.
32:18We'll put the jackpot counter in if you can push it out.
32:20There's 20, but you also mentioned doubles.
32:22There is two of them on that top shelf of drop zone 4.
32:25You could double the amount of that.
32:26It could be 40, it could be 80.
32:28That would be nice.
32:28Yes, it would.
32:29So, 4.
32:314.
32:32I think everyone's got the same idea as me.
32:35Let's light up drop zone 4.
32:36Light it up.
32:37Let's see if we can get the thing flat.
32:38That's cute.
32:39That's crucial.
32:40Timing.
32:48Good spot.
32:49Good spot.
32:50Not on top of the double, but...
32:51No, but it's down that wall.
32:54Keeps it nice and tight.
32:55This will get something off.
32:56Getting more money.
32:59Nice work.
33:00That's two over the tipping points.
33:01You've got 3,800 as we go to find out what five categories you've got today.
33:06You'll be playing musicals, maths, meat, motorsports and monkeys.
33:12You've got all the M's today.
33:13All the M's.
33:14Right, you know how it works.
33:15If you're watching it at the station, you've got one, two or three you can play for.
33:18The more you play for, the harder that question's going to be.
33:21We'll be going with the threes for sure, Todd.
33:24And let's climb the ladder to use a little pun of the fireys.
33:30Let's go from top to bottom.
33:33Monkeys for three.
33:35Bottom to top.
33:38Okay.
33:38Monkeys.
33:41Featuring in films and TV shows including The Hangover Part 2 and Night at the Museum,
33:47Crystal is a species of what monkey?
33:51Capuchin, marmoset or a baboon?
33:54Wow.
33:55I'm a fan of the movies.
33:58I can't say I am an expert on monkeys.
34:01Baboons I know are huge, so I'd say that would be out of the question.
34:07Capuchin, I have no idea.
34:09Capuchin.
34:10Capuchin, sorry.
34:11Capuchin.
34:12Oh, well that makes all the difference, a capuchin.
34:15So I am going to have to say marmoset.
34:19Okay.
34:20Is Crystal a species of marmoset?
34:27Did you know that one, Max?
34:29Yeah, it was capuchin.
34:30Yeah, capuchin, yeah.
34:32Right, not an ideal start.
34:34That's alright.
34:35So, first little bump in your road today.
34:37Yes, yes.
34:38So if we're going up the ladder.
34:40Going up the ladder.
34:41Motorsports.
34:42Is next.
34:42Motorsports for three.
34:47In Formula One racing, what is the term for an aerodynamic effect that causes a car
34:52to bounce violently on its suspension?
34:55Porpoising?
34:56Dolphining?
34:57Or warrising?
34:59Wow.
34:59Max is not going to like me if I get this wrong, because he's a Formula One fan.
35:06Warrising doesn't sound like the right thing.
35:10We're porpoising or we're dolphining.
35:12If we're bouncing, I would have to light up porpoising.
35:17Let's light up porpoising.
35:19Not filling me with confidence.
35:20No.
35:21No, either.
35:22The effect that causes a car to bounce violently, is it porpoising?
35:28Yes.
35:29Woo!
35:30Okay.
35:31Did you hear that?
35:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:34He does now.
35:35He does now.
35:36Alright, okay.
35:36Here's our opportunity.
35:38Let's light up drop zone four, please.
35:42Four.
35:46Come on, keep going.
35:48Oh, it's flat at least.
35:49Sort of going to squeeze in there.
35:51Laterally.
35:51Maybe gets a bit of a push.
35:52That way.
35:53Just line it up.
35:54Okay.
35:55Oh, you'll get some cash again, though.
35:56Get some more cash.
35:57Yeah.
35:57Hey, hey!
35:59Alright.
36:01You've had some very consistent big drops today.
36:03I have been very lucky today.
36:05Another half a dozen.
36:05Wow.
36:06600 more to go into your tally.
36:084,400.
36:10And we'll put the second counter in.
36:12Light up four again.
36:14Woo!
36:15Woo!
36:18Woo!
36:19Woo!
36:20Woo!
36:21Woo!
36:21Just came down.
36:22Stuck hard.
36:23Yes.
36:24Stuck the landing.
36:24It's flat, but...
36:27More money.
36:28More money.
36:29More money.
36:29Just keep adding.
36:30Woo!
36:32Woo!
36:33Woo!
36:33And that is two more.
36:34So 4,600.
36:35We need one to go on the right.
36:37Yes.
36:37We need to get it to the wall.
36:39Light her up.
36:40Drop zone four.
36:40Come on now.
36:44Sit down.
36:45Stop!
36:46Come on.
36:47Spin a little more.
36:48Oh.
36:49Come on.
36:50Just not getting in there enough.
36:54Oh!
36:55Okay.
36:56Right.
36:57Made some good cash, but didn't nudge the jackpot at all.
37:00So, let's go back to categories.
37:02Moving on up is meat.
37:04Meat for three.
37:05Alright.
37:06Meat for three.
37:07Meat for three.
37:08The cheng bao chow cheng is a popular Taiwanese pork and rice street food whose name translates
37:15as small sausage in what?
37:18Cold soup, large sausage or spicy bun?
37:23That is an interesting one, Todd.
37:26Yeah.
37:27There's cheng twice, which makes me think sausage in sausage.
37:32So, let's light up large sausage.
37:37Amazing.
37:38I tripped it.
37:39I've got nothing.
37:39I'm going to light up large sausage.
37:42Is it a small sausage in large sausage?
37:49That's an excellent sausage.
37:56That's my favourite food.
37:57You'll be eating it on the way home.
37:59I'm going straight to Taiwanese street food.
38:01Right.
38:01That was great.
38:02Now, we need to continue the momentum that you had earlier in the game.
38:05It's going to light up four.
38:06Here we go.
38:06All right.
38:11Yes!
38:11Yes!
38:12Yeah.
38:13Come on.
38:14Go right a bit.
38:15A little bit.
38:16That's it.
38:17Yeah.
38:17Okay.
38:18All right.
38:19Excellent.
38:21All right.
38:22Two more.
38:23Two more.
38:24Four thousand eight hundred dollars is going in the machine.
38:26One more on that right side and it's down on the lower shelf.
38:29Okay.
38:30Let's get it out of the way early here.
38:31All right.
38:31Light her up again.
38:33Come on Adam.
38:36Get it right.
38:37Yes!
38:38Oh, it was on top and came off as well.
38:41Right.
38:42Come on now.
38:42Let's do this.
38:43Yep.
38:44Come on.
38:49There's money here.
38:51Right.
38:52And now it's all heating up again.
38:53All right.
38:54That was another three.
38:55You're over 5k now.
38:56It'll be $5,100.
38:57And if we can go one more hard to that wall, you're a push away from 20,000.
39:03All right.
39:03All right.
39:03Let's put the third one in.
39:04Light her up.
39:05Come on Adam.
39:12Oh shit.
39:15Three for three.
39:17Come on.
39:18Oh.
39:19What's that?
39:20Sorry.
39:21We're counting our chickens a bit before they were hatched right there.
39:25Woof.
39:26That was good fun.
39:27Right.
39:27All right.
39:27We're out of counters.
39:29No more sausages left as we go back to the categories.
39:33Now onto a more academic subject like maths.
39:36Let's do maths for three.
39:38It was my favourite subject in high school.
39:40So hopefully.
39:45Which of these is the name of a 3D shape that resembles a bagel or donut?
39:53Virgo, Taurus or Leo?
39:57Oh, I didn't know we were bringing star signs into this, Todd.
40:01Wow.
40:02I did three unit maths and I cannot remember that.
40:06Um.
40:08I'll go Taurus Leo.
40:09This would be a complete guess, Todd.
40:12Uh.
40:13Let's.
40:15If it's a round figure, let's go with the middle.
40:20Let's light up Taurus.
40:22Right.
40:23We're going to light up Taurus.
40:25And all of a sudden everything got quiet and tense.
40:27It did.
40:28And we're going to have to wait till after the break to see whether we can release some
40:32of that tension.
40:43Welcome back everyone to Tipping Point.
40:45Adam, have a look at that.
40:465,100 is yours.
40:48But we thought we were going to be one push away a moment ago.
40:51We didn't quite get there.
40:52Yeah.
40:52We need more counters to make it happen.
40:54We need to shake it off that tension a little bit, hey?
40:58Another little bit of Taylor Swift in the show today.
41:00So before the break the question was, which of these is the name of a 3D shape that resembles
41:05a bagel or donut stab in the dark?
41:08Totally.
41:09You said light up Taurus.
41:11How'd we go?
41:15Oh!
41:16Yeah!
41:22Right.
41:26Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
41:28Yes.
41:29I'll take it Todd.
41:30And if you have both, you'll get $20,000.
41:32We've got three more counters to play.
41:34But before we do that, let's check in with the newsroom.
41:41Okay, before we went to the newsroom, in prime position to go home with this $20,000.
41:46We've got three more counters to make that happen.
41:48You ready to put the first one in?
41:49I'm ready.
41:50Righto.
41:51Let's light her up.
41:51Drop zone four.
41:52Come on.
42:04It's riding two, is it?
42:06Yeah, not there.
42:06It's not going to do us any good at all, even if it does ride.
42:09It's left.
42:10Oh, that shuffled.
42:11Shuffled some things.
42:13Right.
42:13Yeah.
42:14Oh well.
42:14Okay.
42:15It's all right.
42:15Put the second one in.
42:16Light her up again.
42:17Here you go, Adam.
42:23Right.
42:24That's better than the last one.
42:25That could nudge it down.
42:28Yeah, go right.
42:29Go right.
42:30Go right.
42:30Oh, it's going to, you know.
42:31It's going to.
42:39Two more, but we're all watching it slide across like that.
42:42Everyone's leaning to the right.
42:44And now it's 5,300.
42:46You've got one more here.
42:48And one more on that right hand side could see you with 20 grand.
42:52Yeah.
42:53Are you ready?
42:53Yeah.
42:55Or should I just go and get that mystery?
42:57No, I'm just kidding.
43:00What's he throwing at me?
43:02Are you ready?
43:04Light her up.
43:06Come on.
43:15Bring it home, bring it home.
43:17Come on.
43:19Come on now.
43:20Come on.
43:21Come on.
43:22Yeah!
43:28Yeah!
43:32Maybe you should have gone for the missed win.
43:34I should not have been a fantastic.
43:36That's it.
43:37How fast.
43:39There we go.
43:44Oh, look at that.
43:47Well done, Max.
43:49Congratulations.
43:51Well, you might have your car.
43:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
43:54Hey, slow down.
43:55Slow down.
43:56Has she got other plans for this, honey?
43:58Has she?
43:59She's got other plans.
44:00What other plans might be out there?
44:01Well, I did get them hooked on theme parks when we went to the Gold Coast a while ago,
44:05so we might have to chase the theme parks and then fight Vegas maybe.
44:10I don't know.
44:12He'll be 18 soon.
44:14How fantastic.
44:15How brilliant was that?
44:16You were absolutely fantastic.
44:17You were even better.
44:18You're going to be a star at the station.
44:21Congratulations.
44:22$20,000 is yours.
44:23What an episode.
44:25It was a special first responders episode.
44:28The fire is most certainly one this time.
