Transcript
00:03Tonight, join Melanie Bracewell, Ray O'Leary, Olga Kopp, Ed Cavalli and Sam Payne as we
00:11look back on the week and ask, have you been paying attention?
00:16And now, Chris Master General, Tom Gleisner!
00:22Good evening, Trader.
00:23Great to be back with you for another big week of breaking news.
00:26As always, there's a lot going on in the world, but I think we've got just the team in to
00:31help make sense of it all.
00:32Making her debut, she's a writer, performer, currently touring the country with her hit
00:38show, Fat Tom Cruise.
00:39Please make welcome Olga Kopp.
00:44Also on tour around the country, but he's found time to be with us tonight, the fabulous
00:48Ray O'Leary.
00:52Right, a comedian and very competitive netballer.
00:55You can see her every Tuesday night, co-hosting The Cheap Seats, one of our favourites, Melanie
01:00Bracewell.
01:02Director and star of the newly announced telemovie, Cop This, it's time to cop, Ed Cavalli.
01:09Hello, Charles.
01:11And finally, gracing the cover of The Big Issue, a magazine supporting marginalised members
01:18of our community.
01:19Have they not suffered enough?
01:21Mr. Fan Pang.
01:24Thank you to you all.
01:25Olga, so excited to have you with us for the first time.
01:29For those who may not know, can you give us the Olga Kopp story?
01:32So, I was born and raised in Russia.
01:34I went to an American high school, but I live in the UK.
01:37So, whenever I tell people I'm Russian, they're always like, Olga, but your accent, your accent
01:41doesn't sound Russian.
01:41Your accent, it makes you sound stupid.
01:45It makes you sound, makes you sound sophisticated.
01:47We noticed from your socials, you've been getting around the country a fair bit.
01:51I actually didn't think these photos, didn't know they were taken.
01:54Oh.
01:54Oh, well.
01:55Must have been taken by my KGB handler.
01:59He's got a very long lens, if you know what I mean.
02:01I do.
02:02It's fine.
02:04You're not frightened of the Australian flora and fauna?
02:07A lot of people from overseas freak out that we've got snakes and spiders and biting crocodiles.
02:13I would say you're not afraid of anything after you've met Vladimir Putin.
02:17Okay.
02:19A fair point.
02:20Welcome officially to the show, Olga.
02:22Hey, now, Mel, you just wrapped up your show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
02:26And, of course, Ray was performing as well.
02:29And the two of you had an interesting marketing campaign.
02:32Hello.
02:33My name is Ray O'Leary.
02:35God, it's like we've been talking about it.
02:40Well, that's going above and beyond.
02:46Did the campaign work?
02:47I assume we've got to give the viewers at home a few, you know, seconds after seeing that
02:51to go and have a cold shower, right?
02:53I mean, putting Ray O'Leary's shirt and clothes on, I feel like, I feel like I just hooked
03:01up with Ray O'Leary.
03:04Going home, being, wearing his clothes.
03:07Ray, you've never looked more like the mushroom cook than in that.
03:14Whatever you do, whatever you need to do, just sell a show.
03:17Now, Sam, I know you're always keen to support other comedians.
03:20We spotted this.
03:22Whose show were you seeing that night?
03:23Was it Ray's or not?
03:25I cannot remember that picture.
03:27I have no idea.
03:29I'll tell you why.
03:29He was not seeing the show.
03:30He was at the festival bar.
03:33It was 6pm at this point.
03:35We were basically week-end at Bernese and him.
03:39All right, we've got a big week of news to dissect, so let's get those hands on buzzers.
03:46Or beat David Farley.
03:48Why is Mr Farley so happy?
03:51Ray?
03:52Did he just let two gladiators survive the arena?
03:56He was in an arena, Sam.
03:59Now, that's...
03:59What's his name?
03:59David Farley.
04:01That's Dr David Farley, and he's just successfully done two prostate checks.
04:06He is.
04:07None of that is accurate, but thank you, Ed.
04:10Great news.
04:12One Nation, Tom, congratulations, have finally got a seat in the lower house.
04:18Yeah, first ever lower house MP.
04:21Yes, Sam?
04:21I was wondering why there was a little pep in your step.
04:26Strong words from opposition leader Angus Taylor.
04:29Government should have made every possible effort to keep these people out of the country.
04:33Which people?
04:35Olga.
04:35Comedians from New Zealand.
04:36Yeah, there's a lot of...
04:38They're welcome.
04:39Right, Ray, start.
04:43Ray?
04:44No, we are...
04:45Sam, who are we trying to keep out of the country?
04:46And those born in Russia.
04:50Is it ISIS brides?
04:52It is indeed.
04:53The so-called ISIS brides.
04:54The women arrived on Thursday, and 10 News asked the two key questions.
04:58Why did you support terrorism overseas?
05:03Was it a comfortable flight?
05:04Yeah.
05:06We need to know.
05:08We need to know.
05:09All week we've been hearing about...
05:12The cruise ship hit by a rare outbreak of...
05:14Hit by a rare outbreak of...
05:17Mel.
05:18Bieber fever.
05:19That could happen.
05:20Even at sea, it's dangerous.
05:21Ray?
05:22Iceberg-itis.
05:23It would be...
05:24Dr. Isaac, Olga.
05:26Value for money.
05:27Well, it depends on the cruise.
05:29It's...
05:29I need a...
05:29Well, this is a new...
05:30This is a new...
05:31It's like the...
05:32The hand...
05:32The...
05:33There's a new virus.
05:34Yes, there is.
05:34It's like the Hannah Montana virus.
05:35It's something...
05:36Unless someone can get closer, Sam?
05:38Well, I could get closer or just give the answer.
05:42What is the virus?
05:43It's the hunter virus.
05:44It is indeed the hunter virus.
05:46Yeah, it's the one that brought down Gene Hackman.
05:50Oh, his wife had it, didn't he?
05:51Is that right?
05:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:52Oh, wait, wait, wait.
05:53Oh.
05:54Was that just a fact?
05:55That's just a fact.
05:56I'm not...
05:56I'm not doing jokes.
05:58It's enough.
06:01Billy.
06:02Sam, yeah, that's the hunter virus.
06:04It comes from rats and mice.
06:06It does indeed, Sam.
06:07And then, by the way, Ray.
06:08Did you know that it takes eight minutes for the sun's lights to reach the earth?
06:13That's a fact?
06:13I just thought we were doing facts.
06:16Thank you, Mr. Ray.
06:17Thank you, Ray.
06:18That's a good story.
06:19It's important to know.
06:20Thank you for your support, Ray.
06:22Sam, I will pay that.
06:23The hunter virus.
06:24Intriguing statement from the US Secretary of State.
06:27You know, um, they're insane in the brain.
06:31Who is insane?
06:33The brain, Olga.
06:34People setting prices at chemists' warehouse.
06:35The settings are incredible.
06:38They do go crazy.
06:39They do go wacky.
06:40Sam, are you doing an ad?
06:43Because this is good stuff.
06:44This is good stuff.
06:46Just even being in Ed Cavallis' presence,
06:48you just channel it into the show.
06:50That's really good.
06:51You start promoting...
06:52That was really good.
06:53...not chemists' warehouse.
06:55Sam?
06:56Iran.
06:57Indeed.
06:57So, for thinking they can win the war,
07:00or the, uh, what are we calling it this week?
07:01I call it a mini-war.
07:03Yeah.
07:04But before that?
07:05I call it a skirmish.
07:06Anyway, basically, a war.
07:07Sam?
07:08Points are yours.
07:09Media mogul and CNN founder Ted Turner
07:12is being remembered.
07:13He famously said...
07:14Early to bed, early to rise,
07:16work like hell, and...
07:17Work like hell and...
07:19Right.
07:20Marry an Isis bride.
07:24Ed, help us out.
07:25Advertise.
07:25That's his motto.
07:26Just good people.
07:27You know what I mean, Olga?
07:28Oh, big time.
07:29Just good people.
07:30Just good people.
07:31Just so, by the way,
07:32Olga might not, you know,
07:34have all the context of some of the...
07:36Yeah.
07:36...references we're making about Ed and,
07:38um, you know, uh, selling out.
07:41Old Ad Cavalli, I mean.
07:45Ed, uh, Olga,
07:47for one of the better description
07:48is a corporate shill.
07:52Do you need insurance?
07:54Ed, we'll...
07:55We'll take that offline.
07:56We need to move on.
07:58OK.
07:58Interesting moment at a state dinner in Armenia.
08:05OK, that's their prime minister on the drums.
08:07Who's singing?
08:10Sam?
08:11I'm pretty sure that was you on the drums.
08:14The Armenian leader.
08:16Who's at the piano singing?
08:17That's the, um,
08:18French President Emmanuel Macron.
08:21And he's performing at his wife's retirement home.
08:25It's French President Emmanuel Macron.
08:28Take a look.
08:31It's a tribute band, uh, Fleetwood Macron.
08:37Quick, Ray, we need a fact real bad, buddy.
08:40Give us something, Ray.
08:42I thought it was a hauntingly beautiful rendition of Stacey's mum.
08:47That'll get us out.
08:48Thank you for saving us, Ray.
08:49Oh, it was a big weekend in Moscow's Red Square.
08:52What was the occasion?
08:54Olga.
08:54Pride.
08:56Well...
08:57Sadly, no.
08:58This is the, uh, victory parade.
09:00Indeed it is.
09:01Now, Olga, you speak a bit of Russian.
09:03Can you tell us what these soldiers are singing here?
09:12I think the direct translation is,
09:14you're the voice, try and understand.
09:16That's a story.
09:18That's a natural situation.
09:20That's hard for it.
09:22Thank you, Olga.
09:23Thank you for clearing that up.
09:24Well, Italian PM, Georgia Maloney,
09:26has hit out at photos showing her wearing what?
09:30Ray.
09:31The Dolmio Grimm.
09:35I'd like to pay that, Ray, but sadly, no.
09:39What's she wearing?
09:39Olga.
09:40They're fake AI images of her in lingerie, right?
09:43Absolutely.
09:43So, her face is real, but her body,
09:45that's not her body, it's actually my body.
09:48That is, well, to be honest,
09:50the images look pretty fake.
09:52Yeah.
09:55We'll kind of tell that.
09:57That's right.
09:58Do you have her number?
09:59Oh, yeah.
10:01We've got to take a break.
10:03Back with more from the week,
10:04right after this.
10:18I actually fell in love with ChatGPT.
10:20And that's not a bad thing.
10:21We are fools.
10:22To speculate, but if I did.
10:24What the President would prefer is a deal.
10:26There's no deal.
10:26Unless it agrees to a...
10:28To kick up the backside.
10:29We are throwing everything at this.
10:31Trimming the budget.
10:31Yesterday was a hammer blow to households.
10:33Australian people aren't mugs.
10:35This is not their first Met Gala.
10:36These are my arms.
10:37What the hell's going on?
10:42We're back with what you have.
10:44You've been panicking just before we return to questions.
10:47Olga, am I right in saying you're getting married?
10:50Yes, I am.
10:55To my KTV handle.
10:57And to...
10:58She's an ISIS bride.
11:01I think your fiancé may well be in our audience.
11:04It's Ewan over there.
11:05Oh, my God.
11:11How did the two of you meet?
11:12He booked me for a gig.
11:14We're not at work.
11:14What?
11:15I just heard he booked me.
11:19As in a corporate gig?
11:21It was...
11:22His student comedy society needed a headliner.
11:26Okay.
11:26And that was you?
11:27Yeah.
11:27I like a younger man.
11:29Where are you getting married?
11:30In Las Vegas, in two days.
11:32Wow.
11:33What?
11:35So, like, you're eloping?
11:37Yeah, and I actually...
11:38I did my nails so he knows which finger to put...
11:41That's right.
11:42My ring on.
11:44And, um...
11:48How long have you been together?
11:49Good call.
11:50We've been together three years.
11:52I'll give it six more months.
11:53Six months.
11:55Apologies, Olga.
11:56Apologies.
11:56That's my life.
11:57Congratulations, Olga.
11:58Best wishes.
11:58We need to get back into some questions.
12:00Hands on buzzers.
12:01Well, there was drama in the lead-up to the Farrah by-election.
12:04Are you getting a video?
12:05Yes, I am.
12:06Point, point, point.
12:07Get that back.
12:08Get that back.
12:09Get that back.
12:09What were they fighting about?
12:12It?
12:12Invites to Olga's wedding.
12:15Very limited.
12:16No, it happened just a couple of days ago.
12:19Sam?
12:20One of the volunteers took the phone off the Liberal...
12:25Yeah, the Liberal Senator James Patterson.
12:26Oh, wow.
12:27Points are yours, Sam.
12:28Emotional words from US travel blogger Jake Rosmarin.
12:31What's happening right now is very real for all of us here.
12:35We're not just a story.
12:36We're not just headlines.
12:38We're people.
12:39What's he talking about?
12:41What's the story?
12:44Sam?
12:44Can I answer your question with a question?
12:47Please.
12:48US travel bloggers?
12:50Yeah.
12:50Are they real people?
12:52Well, let's assume Jake is real.
12:55What's he talking about now?
12:56He left his neck pillow on the plane.
13:00Exactly.
13:00Ed, he's on the cruise, Tom.
13:02He's on the virus cruise.
13:04The Hantavirus cruise ship MV.
13:05Thanks, Ed.
13:06Well, heartfelt words from Sir David Attenborough this week.
13:09I simply can't reply to each of you all separately, but I would like to thank you all most sincerely
13:16for your kind messages.
13:18What messages was Sir David getting?
13:20Right.
13:21The Queen messaged him saying, join me.
13:27He turned a beautiful moment into a sombre affair.
13:30Ed, help us out.
13:31He's turned 100.
13:33Yeah.
13:33He's 100 years old.
13:34100th birthday messages.
13:35And he's getting married in Vegas in two days time.
13:38OK, it's time to look at all things entertainment.
13:46And tonight's showbiz segment is brought to you by Yui.
13:49Hey, you insured, but don't just take my word for it.
13:52Shop around.
13:53Indeed.
13:57Well, big week for the Rolling Stones.
13:59What have they just announced?
14:01Ray.
14:02They've announced that you have to speak up.
14:04They don't have their hearing aids.
14:05That's not the answer I have on this card.
14:07Olga, help me.
14:08Mick Jagger's got a new hip.
14:14He possibly does.
14:15He possibly does.
14:17Help me out, Ed.
14:18No way.
14:19Is it a new album?
14:20Yes.
14:20Yeah.
14:21It's called Foreign Tongues.
14:23And they've released a sneak peek of the first single.
14:25Here we go.
14:30I think that I'm looking forward to that, Tom.
14:33You're looking forward to a Stones album?
14:35Yeah.
14:35Why wouldn't we be?
14:36Without Charlie?
14:37The drummer.
14:38The drummer.
14:39I thought you meant Charlie X-E-X.
14:42We have a lot of showbiz to get...
14:43Here's a fun fact.
14:44Here we go.
14:44You know, many people would watch Slow Horses.
14:47Absolutely.
14:48You know, the theme song to Slow Horses is sung by Mick Jagger.
14:50Go on then.
14:50Is that right?
14:51No, it's not the Rolling Stones.
14:52It's just Mick.
14:54All right.
14:54You always put a dampener on things, Tom.
14:56But he sung that song.
14:58So he's in form.
14:59He is?
15:00Another fact.
15:02All right.
15:03We've got a bit of showbiz to get through.
15:04Oh, I believe we have some special video quizmasters standing by.
15:07Hi, Tom.
15:08Hi, everyone.
15:09So we're the stars of the new Mortal Kombat 2 movie.
15:12I play action star Johnny Cage.
15:15What is his catchphrase?
15:17What is Johnny's catchphrase?
15:19Melanie.
15:20Yabba-dabba-doo.
15:21He would be...
15:23He might have been used.
15:24Olga.
15:24It's Showtime.
15:25Oh, let's see if you're right.
15:26It's Showtime.
15:28I want to see yours, Olga.
15:29Is that Josh Lawson?
15:30Yeah, now that's Josh Lawson, who has a role in your upcoming telly movie.
15:34He was in Cop This, which Ray was in, shot in this very building.
15:39He was also the best man at my wedding.
15:41It's very odd that he's acting like he doesn't know us.
15:45Oh, I think the stars have another question for us.
15:47The character I play is Johnny Cage.
15:49He famously wears what $500 item of clothing?
15:54Oh, what does Johnny Cage wear?
15:56Uh, Ray?
15:57A grey suit and a paisley tie.
15:59Is...
16:01500 bars.
16:02500 melanin.
16:03Is that 500 bentang singlets?
16:06Is...
16:07Singlets, Sam.
16:09It's...
16:09Sunglasses.
16:10Is that correct?
16:12Sunglasses.
16:13Oh, this is intriguing.
16:15It's Kylie like you've never seen her before.
16:17Ooh, what are we about to see?
16:19Kylie?
16:19Is it...
16:20Oh, it.
16:20Is she in the Rolling Stones?
16:21No!
16:23Is that...
16:23Kylie is in...
16:25She's in a documentary on Netflix.
16:29Releasing this week.
16:31New docker.
16:31Thousands of fans were out in Mexico City.
16:38Wow, what were they there to see?
16:40Sam?
16:40It's a rare public appearance from Guzman and Gomez.
16:44Again, they would be big in that part of all, but no, it's a musical if this helps, Ray?
16:49Trump's wall's not very good, is it?
16:51No, it's good.
16:53Big of a point.
16:56Ed, who are the screaming fans there?
16:58I'm being down in force.
16:59BTS.
17:00BTS was in Mexico City.
17:01K-pop superstars.
17:03BTS.
17:03A tough night for contestant Jessica Power on SAS Australia.
17:07I can't do this.
17:09I'm going to have to withdraw.
17:10I can't do this.
17:10You're going to quit now?
17:11Yes, yes, I am.
17:12You're going to quit?
17:13Yep.
17:14Go on, bud.
17:14Wow, what couldn't Jessica do?
17:17Remember?
17:18She was asked to spell SAS.
17:20Yeah, that's part of the audition process.
17:23Now, you sort of got a clue from the footage.
17:25Sam?
17:26What was the clue?
17:27The footage shows...
17:28What they're doing, and then she stops doing.
17:30Once again?
17:31Whoa.
17:32So aggressive, Tom.
17:34I'm just trying to have a good time.
17:35I apologise, Sam.
17:36What could Jessica not do?
17:38Exercise.
17:39Burpees.
17:39That's the bit I'm chasing.
17:41Yeah, that's what they were doing.
17:42Oh, burpees.
17:44Couldn't do a burpee.
17:45Points to yourself.
17:46Yes, sir.
17:47Follow-up question.
17:48What is Jessica Power?
17:51It sounds like an electricity brand that you would partner with.
17:55That's right.
17:56That's what I'm getting at.
18:00All right, moving on.
18:01There was an explosive promo of Home and Away this week.
18:05Something is about to happen that will shock the bay.
18:09We're going to need to ask you to come in the house to the station.
18:12What did Alf do?
18:15I'll ask the questions.
18:17What did Alf do?
18:19Melanie.
18:20He put through avocados as onions.
18:24It does involve some criminality.
18:28This is big.
18:29It's a hit and run, Tom.
18:31He's accused of a hit and run.
18:32He's accused of a hit and run.
18:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:33And I think we all know exactly how Alf responds.
18:36Tell me.
18:36This is a waste of flying a dime.
18:38It is indeed.
18:39We've got to take a break.
18:40Back with our special guest.
18:41Good bye.
18:51We're back to what I'm happy you've been paying attention.
18:53And it's time to meet our special guest, Chris Master.
18:55She's Australia's most decorated winter Olympian of all time.
18:59You'll know her from stuff like this.
19:01This season, the ski-off for gold was between US number one,
19:05Jalen Corfe, and Australia's Jakara Anthony.
19:08What he said.
19:09Please welcome Jakara Anthony.
19:15Welcome to the show.
19:16It's easy to see you.
19:17Let's start at the beginning.
19:19You were born in Cairns, then moved to the seaside town of Barwon Heads.
19:24They don't smack of snow.
19:26They don't.
19:27I don't know how this ended up happening,
19:28but a bit of mum and dad to thank there.
19:30OK, they took you up to the mountains?
19:32Yeah, they met up there and then would take us up when we were kids
19:35and then intended that to stop when I got to high school.
19:38And here we are today.
19:39Absolutely.
19:39You were, of course, skiing from a very young age.
19:42I think we've got a shot there.
19:43How old were you when you decided, hmm, I'm not bad at this?
19:47When I was about 11, I saw one of my teammates, Britt Cox,
19:50well, wasn't my teammate at the time,
19:52but she competed at the Vancouver Olympics at 15 years old.
19:54I was like, that's what I want to do.
19:56I don't know what I was thinking, but it's all worked out.
20:00Absolutely.
20:00And a lot of skiers have to train even when there's no snow.
20:03Talk us through this.
20:05What are you working on there, Jakara?
20:08Yeah, I don't like doing those.
20:11We call those brisades after a mogul skier,
20:13but it's kind of just simulating what we do in the moguls,
20:16but when we're not in the snow.
20:18I'm just imagining a small child off the side going,
20:20can I have a turn on my turn?
20:24Like, no, that's all me.
20:25All you.
20:26And what made you head to moguls rather than, say, aerial skiing?
20:29Um, well, aerial skiers are nuts to start with.
20:33But in Australia we have inter-school snow sports,
20:36so school-aged kids can try a lot of different Olympic disciplines
20:39and I did all the skiing, all the snowboarding, cross-country,
20:42and mogul skiing was just my favourite.
20:44I think I liked how many elements there were to it.
20:46Sure, well, talk us through an event.
20:47I think we've got some footage here.
20:49So how long's the typical course?
20:51Oh, they can be up to 250 metres.
20:53And how many moguls individually on the way down?
20:56It's got to be, like, 60-ish, but it depends on the course.
20:59And a couple of jumps as well?
21:01Always two jumps.
21:02Two jumps.
21:03And so what are you being judged on there?
21:04Speed?
21:05It's 20% speed, 20% your jumps, and then 60% your turns.
21:10OK.
21:11Seeing that makes the trampoline thing make so much more sense.
21:19How old are you?
21:20I am 27.
21:21Old enough to have to think about it.
21:23Sure.
21:23And how old are your knees?
21:25Um, I like to think they're about 20,
21:28but, you know, in another 20 or so years, Tom,
21:31I don't think I'll be saying.
21:32If my character gets told...
21:33How old are you is the question, Tom?
21:35I saw a lot of...
21:37Apologies, Jakara.
21:39Let's fast-forward to the Winter Olympics in Milano this year.
21:42You were our flag-bearer, which is an incredible honour.
21:45Yeah.
21:45To the...
21:47Will you give it any specific instructions?
21:50Don't let it touch the ground.
21:51OK.
21:51Yeah, yeah.
21:52Um, that was the main instruction.
21:54Otherwise...
21:54Otherwise, no pressure.
21:56Enjoy your song.
21:56Now, you missed out on gold in the mogul event,
22:00but a couple of days later,
22:01you've fronted up to a new event called...
22:04Jewel...
22:04Jewel moguls.
22:05Jewel moguls.
22:06And, in fact, I think we've got some footage
22:07of your Olympic run there.
22:08Here we go.
22:09Oh, my God!
22:10Which ended in...
22:11Take that.
22:12Take that.
22:13Yeah.
22:13In a gold medal.
22:14That's not a gold medal.
22:16That's not a gold medal.
22:18So...
22:18You were defending...
22:19That's not a gold medal.
22:21That's not a gold medal.
22:22That was Beijing.
22:24Ladies and gentlemen, we've got someone here
22:26who has won two Olympic gold medals.
22:28Two more medals.
22:28Two more medals.
22:31Two more medals.
22:32That was Beijing.
22:33That was Beijing.
22:34Yes.
22:34Yes, Olga?
22:35Sorry, maybe a cultural thing.
22:36I'm originally from Russia.
22:37Is two a lot?
22:38Yeah.
22:39Yes.
22:41All right, Jakara has kindly agreed to us.
22:44Oh, yes, sir.
22:44I would like to take this opportunity to, Tom,
22:47to congratulate you on a wonderful, like,
22:50pre-interview there with Jakara.
22:52Sometimes you don't nail it.
22:55And I just thought, when you did, I wanted to acknowledge it.
22:59Oh, thank you.
22:59You absolutely nailed that.
23:00That was great.
23:03Yeah, Jakara, thank you.
23:06Would you say it was a gold medal performance?
23:10I know.
23:10I know.
23:10Well, what a surprise.
23:12You just ruined it.
23:14Jakara has some questions, and hopefully you have some answers.
23:17Let's jump into it.
23:17Yes.
23:18Yes.
23:18Commonwealth Games uniforms were unveiled this week.
23:21They're designed by which iconic Aussie brand?
23:24Melanie.
23:25Cotton on kids.
23:26Yes.
23:27Not a little more prestigious than Ray.
23:29The Blind Foundation.
23:31Oh, fuckies.
23:32Help us out.
23:38It's a seamstress bloody blind.
23:41It helps us out.
23:43RM Williams?
23:44RM Williams.
23:45Yes, the boots are a giveaway.
23:47RM Williams.
23:48Next question, please, Jakara.
23:50What annual event were these Winter Olympians attending?
23:54Olga.
23:54Uh, Russia's Victory Day celebration.
23:57It's got a touch of?
23:57It's got a touch of Victory Day.
23:59No, this is the Met Gala.
24:01They went from the Olympics to the Ozempics.
24:04Thank you, Mel.
24:05It is the Met Gala.
24:07Point to Mel.
24:09And of course, Jakara, you know a thing or two about fashion.
24:12Having featured on the front cover of Vogue magazine.
24:18Are they your actual competition goggles?
24:20No, I wear a different brand.
24:24They are of course Gucci.
24:25Yes.
24:26And you're?
24:27They're very Vogue.
24:28What do you wear?
24:29Sponsors, let's go.
24:30Oakley.
24:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:31I thought you did a lovely collaboration with Gelatissima,
24:35the gelato ice cream place.
24:37I did, thank you.
24:38Great.
24:38That's my dream sponsorship.
24:40Ask Ed about one of his sponsors.
24:42Yeah, yeah.
24:42Oh, Ed, what's one of your sponsors?
24:44Oh God, this is so awkward.
24:47Actually, I think we might need to just move on.
24:49Very good.
24:50Next question, please.
24:52Meet 22-year-old Wu Itza.
24:55He has just won which world championship?
24:58Phil.
25:00The Enthusiasm Award.
25:06He would have been excited.
25:08Yes, Ray, what was the championship?
25:09He doesn't look very excited for someone literally named Wu Itza.
25:14You make a good point, Ray.
25:16You make a good point.
25:17I just need to know the event.
25:19Sam.
25:22He's okay.
25:22He can do what he wants.
25:23What do you mean I can do what I want?
25:25Well, you're a funny guy.
25:26Well, if you want to say he won it for maths and science,
25:29you can do that.
25:35Oh God, I'm sorry about this.
25:39I apologise to our guests.
25:40Yes.
25:40That's unbelievable.
25:41Anyway, the answer is of course the World Dry Cleaning Championship.
25:49The answer is snooker, Jakara.
25:52It is.
25:52World Snooker Championship.
25:53Next question, please.
25:54Shakira dropped a new track on Friday.
26:00Day Day, what's the big fuss about?
26:05They're doing a polygraph test on her hips.
26:13It's more than just a single.
26:15It's Sam.
26:15The anthem for the new World Cup.
26:17It is the official song of the World Cup.
26:19How do you think Shakira would go in the moguls?
26:21Well, hips don't lie.
26:24Thank you very much.
26:25Hey, we've got to take a break.
26:27Congratulations once again on your Olympic triumphs.
26:30Would you please thank Jakara Anthony.
26:42We are back and it's time to get a break of action.
26:44This is individually to the test.
26:46Last Friday, we celebrated 100 years of the amazing Sir David Attenborough,
26:51inspiring this special tribute.
26:58We are playing indeed a little bit of Planet Attenborough.
27:02Another straightforward challenge.
27:03We'll show you each a moment from Sir David's stellar career.
27:08You answer a simple question.
27:10Oh, no.
27:11Oh, no.
27:11Melanie, let's start with you.
27:20Tommy, your ankle bracelet's going off.
27:25Not the first time you've got the binoculars out straight through my window, usually.
27:30Not at all.
27:31Mel, take a look at a scene from The Green Planet, where David reveals the strange and
27:36wonderful world of plants.
27:38Plants use a variety of different techniques to spread their seeds as far as possible.
27:44And one of the most remarkable is this one.
27:46It's called Ecbalium, and it's a relative of the cucumber.
27:50For several weeks now, pressure has been building up inside the pods.
27:55Until now they're as taut as a well-pumped up bicycle tower.
27:59All they need is just a slight nudge.
28:05Melanie, what happens when the pods are nudged?
28:10I'm gonna need a moment.
28:13Sorry.
28:14Um, uh, okay.
28:16Once it's spread their seed as far as possible, it reminds me of the men I dated in university.
28:21The pod is as taut as a pumped up bicycle tire.
28:25I believe that when you just nearly press on the bulb, it will explode.
28:30I think I did.
28:31That was good.
28:31Mel, let's take a look.
28:34Oh, yes!
28:35It squirts!
28:37Melanie Bracewell has the points!
28:39How's that?
28:41It's known as the squirting cucumber, which was Ray's nickname at school.
28:48Hey Sam, let's visit the Galapagos Islands where David has found something interesting
28:54hanging out in the harsh volcanic terrain.
28:57This is a lava lizard.
29:00There are lots of them on the rocks around here.
29:03And in the breeding season, which is now, the males are competing with one another.
29:10Both for territory and for females.
29:13And the way they do so is with...
29:15Sam, how do male larva lizards compete with each other?
29:19Ah, lizards.
29:20I don't...
29:21This might not come as a massive surprise.
29:22I don't really know a lot about lizards, Tom.
29:24Yeah, sure.
29:25So, um...
29:26So, it's...
29:26Any clues, Tom?
29:27It involves an interesting physical endeavour.
29:32Can I have a go?
29:33No.
29:34No.
29:35Yes, of course.
29:36Go.
29:36I was gonna say, is it reptile dysfunction?
29:38No.
29:40No.
29:41No.
29:42Pay that.
29:43I'd love to pay that.
29:44Mate.
29:45They do something to attract the females.
29:48Yeah.
29:48Is it some sort of physical activity?
29:54We're talking about lizards.
29:56Yeah.
29:56Oh.
29:57Uh...
29:58Burpees?
30:00You are so close.
30:01Take a look.
30:01Press up.
30:03Oh!
30:04Oh!
30:06Wow!
30:08Wow!
30:08You gotta give it to him.
30:10That was hard.
30:10Very hard.
30:11Alright, we will, because Burpee's...
30:13It's how Ed got his first date with Tiff.
30:16Yeah, we'll pay that, Sam.
30:17Well done.
30:18Alright, Ed.
30:18Hi.
30:19Take a listen.
30:20This is an audio clue to this narration of a scene that many viewers described as uncomfortably
30:26graphic.
30:26Once the pair reach the treetops, they become more intimate.
30:31They nuzzle.
30:32An overhanging branch provides a hold for the consummation.
30:37Two penises start to protrude.
30:43Oh.
30:47What if we...
30:51I think that last noise came out of Ray.
30:58Tommy, I think the expression is a clean-up on all five.
31:03Jeez.
31:04What were we listening to there?
31:07So, two penises.
31:08We're under a taut branch.
31:10Yeah, yeah.
31:11A branch.
31:12Consummation.
31:12A dramatic reenactment of Olga's wedding night.
31:20Just give me the animal species.
31:22Mate, one has two penises.
31:23You'd find them in your garden.
31:25Tom.
31:28Once.
31:29Come on.
31:31Ants.
31:32Ants.
31:32Lizards.
31:33My garden.
31:34Horses.
31:35Quails.
31:37Sorry, Ed.
31:38Peasants.
31:40Mate, I got no clue here.
31:42Ed.
31:43Lizards.
31:44Lizards is your answer.
31:45Let's take a look.
31:47An ash black slug.
31:50Ooh.
31:51Two, in fact.
31:52Ash black slugs having sex.
31:55Hmm.
31:57Mate, I was never going to get that.
31:59All right.
32:00Olga.
32:01We're heading back to a remote area in the Galapagos Islands where David is birdwatching
32:06a native species of finch.
32:09Its ancestors, doubtless, were blown here by storms many centuries ago.
32:13And since they aren't strong enough flyers to leave the island, they've had to find food
32:18from a very unusual source.
32:21They depend on another of the island's inhabitants.
32:25Olga, what is their very unusual source of food?
32:28Oh my God, the tension.
32:30Um.
32:31Wait, did we see in the video bits, bits, there were like two bits of stuff in their beaks.
32:36There was a little bit of information there.
32:38If I was to use the word boobies.
32:41Oh, Jesus.
32:43Again, enough about your search history.
32:46This is, this.
32:47Ewan, are you going to let him talk to me like that?
32:52That is actually part of the answer.
32:54It'll help.
32:54What do you think of when I say boobies?
32:56I think of birds.
32:57Isn't that a booby a bird?
32:58Yeah.
32:58So therefore these finch.
33:00So they're eating a different bird?
33:02What part of that bird?
33:03Bird on bird crime.
33:04Um.
33:05Oh, they're eating their eggs.
33:07Other bird eggs.
33:07They're drawing something from the bird.
33:10Feathers?
33:11Going deeper.
33:12Oh no.
33:13They're down?
33:13Is that?
33:14They take something from the boobies.
33:19Tom, you're on thin ice.
33:20I am.
33:21What with that material?
33:23It's not feathers.
33:24It's not skin.
33:24Bones?
33:25What are we talking about?
33:26Come on.
33:27Where are you going?
33:28I think, I think like a mosquito.
33:29I would think.
33:30Maybe.
33:31Oh, a mosquito?
33:32No, no, no.
33:34I know you're trying to help, but I'm too stupid now.
33:37Think like a mosquito.
33:38What?
33:40Here you go.
33:40It's for the steal.
33:41I think Olga said it.
33:42Olga, you said?
33:43I've said blood.
33:44Stop.
33:44And take a look.
33:46Blood.
33:47They are vampire finches.
33:52Why the boobies don't object, nobody knows.
33:58Alright.
33:59Ray.
34:00Let's bring this thing home.
34:02We're off to Costa Rica where David is observing the sloth in its natural habitat.
34:07This is a very unusual sight.
34:11A sloth in a hurry.
34:13It wants to defecate.
34:15And the only place it's happy doing that, oddly enough, is...
34:18Ray, what is the only place a sloth is happy to defecate?
34:22To defecate?
34:24To go to the toilet?
34:25On the toilet?
34:28On the toilet?
34:31I'm a big Attenborough fan.
34:32I love his documentaries on the garafi and...
34:37The sloth spends most of its life up in the tree, but it needs to go to the bathroom.
34:42Where does it do it?
34:42It likes to go toilet on camera, apparently, the freak.
34:47More specifically?
34:48No, I've watched Adam...
34:49I know he...
34:50Because they come down from the tree and they go toilet on the ground so they can cover up the
34:55smell.
34:55Because I do the same thing.
34:56I live in an apartment building.
34:58Ray?
34:58Ray?
34:59Ray?
35:02Take a look.
35:03He's down on the ground.
35:07On the ground.
35:08Ray is on the board.
35:14And all too soon, that brings us to the end of...
35:21We're back watching Have You Been Paying Attention right after this.
35:35We're back watching Have You Been Paying Attention.
35:38Let's return to questions.
35:41There's a concerning new trend among music artists that industry insiders are now calling Blue Dot Fever.
35:47What is Blue Dot Fever, Olga?
35:49It's something we do need to de-stigmatise, okay?
35:52It's okay, Ray.
35:53It's okay.
35:54What is it?
35:55What is it?
35:56A bit more context provide.
35:57What is it?
35:57When you have a sexual attraction to the Avatar character.
36:00Is not.
36:01I don't think Olga was catty in that direction.
36:03Involves concerts.
36:04Melanie?
36:05I think I got it just from her.
36:07I feel like I'm stealing the answer, but it's like they must cancel their concerts because
36:13there's too many seats available because they're the Blue Dots.
36:15Mel will pay that artist cancelling tour is based on the number of unsold seats.
36:18To South Korea.
36:24What on earth is going on there?
36:27Olga.
36:27That's the Dal AI Llama.
36:30You are in his own.
36:31You are in his own.
36:36It's certainly robot-y Melanie.
36:40Is he 00001 with everything?
36:42Yes.
36:46But who is he there?
36:47Sam, what's the story?
36:48Well, because your clue that it's a bit robot-y gave it away.
36:52I think it's a robot being ordained as a Buddhist monk.
36:55Sam, I'll pay that.
36:56Wow.
36:56The ordination of Korea's first robot Buddhist monk.
36:59Heading across the ditch now.
37:00Our national bird in the halls of power for the first time.

37:08Emily?
37:09They were elected, Tom.
37:11What?
37:12I don't like to be there.
37:14This is a heartwarming conservation tale, Ray.
37:17The cushions needed stuffing.
37:19Okay.
37:20I tried to help.
37:21I tried to help.
37:23It's a program aired.
37:25I think they've reintroduced...
37:27Are they being reintroduced to the wild, Tommy?
37:29They've just reintroduced their 250th bird into the wilds of Willington.
37:35What happens to them?
37:36Mel, Ray?
37:36Why do they need reintroducing?
37:38If you stumble across one and you're feeling quite peckish...
37:42They've just introduced pests have eaten a lot of them.
37:46Oh.
37:46Yeah.
37:47Stoats, ferrets.
37:48Australians.
37:49Okay.
37:50Thank you for clearing that up.
37:51Well, there's a new viral trend sweep in New Zealand.
37:54No way.
37:56It tastes the exact same.
37:58Oh, shit.
38:00What are those people drinking?
38:02Ray.
38:03That black liquid is Australian tap water.
38:06Is...
38:07They're you and no.
38:08What are they drinking, Mel?
38:10This is...
38:11They mix Coke and Sprite and some lemony thing to make lemon and Pairoa,
38:16which is like a drink in New Zealand.
38:18It's called LNP.
38:19It's a famous soft drink in New Zealand, is it?
38:21Yeah.
38:22And have you tried this version of it?
38:24No, because you can...
38:25So if you want to buy three soft drinks to make one soft drink...
38:28Okay.
38:28Just buy the soft drink you want.
38:31There you go.
38:32Okay, time to get the resting heart rate up.
38:42A little bit of sport.
38:43And wild scenes on the beach at the Gold Coast Pro.
38:46What are we looking at here?
38:49Ray?
38:50You elect one One Nation person and suddenly you're all trying to turn back the boats.
38:54No, it's...
38:56It's not political sad.
38:58Yes, it's the new campaign, turn back the jet skis, darling.
39:01Not before time.
39:03Famous Australian athlete out there.
39:06It's Stephanie Gilmour and she's broken...
39:09Is it two records in the pro surfing?
39:12She won her seventh Gold Coast Pro.
39:14She did, yes.
39:15And then there was some other records.
39:16She broke a mountain of victories.
39:17A record breaking 34th.
39:18That's the one.
39:19Thank you, Dom.
39:20The Giro d'Italia is underway and for the first time it kicked off from what location?
39:25Sam.
39:26Was it the Strait of Hormuz?
39:27Was it?
39:29Well, it wasn't in Italy.
39:31They started in somewhere else.
39:32Olga.
39:33Is it Bulgaria?
39:34Yes.
39:34A coastal city of Nisaba.
39:36Ah, because Italy's doing this whole make Italy the Holy Roman Empire again thing.
39:39Oh, really?
39:39They're just slowly spreading their spokes.
39:42Thank you Olga.
39:43Cyclists in Belgium's Famine Arden classic have fallen ill.
39:47What's being blamed?
39:48Half the field have gone down with a mystery illness?
39:51Yeah.
39:52Right.
39:52Were they eating the Uber Eats they were supposed to be delivering?
39:56It's a disgusting, it's a disgusting giveaway.
39:59They're getting sick because there's cow manure that's flying up from the road and getting
40:05in their mouths.
40:06Yeah.
40:07Well, tempers flared at a promotional showdown ahead of UFC 328.

41:07How is that?
41:08It's actually halfway there.
41:10Actually I think I know this.
41:11I think it's her kid's drawing that she's got a tattoo.
41:14A tattoo of her kid's scribbles.
41:15Tough week for former Mavs contestant James Sussler.
41:18What's happened?
41:20I think he has a car dealership that got firebombed and he wanted to evacuate but his partner said
41:27stay.
41:28Thank you Mel.
41:30I think everything is Melbourne.
41:32Sir David Attenborough and this parasitic wasp.
41:35What's the connection?
41:37Mel.
41:37You don't want to find either in your sleeping bag.
41:40Probably.
41:42But this is an honour.
41:45I could kill both with an open palm slap.
41:54It's rapidly called.
41:56It's an honour in my ear, Kathleen.
41:58They've named the wasp after David Attenborough.
42:01Also, there's no way that you could, Ray.
42:05Thank you Ed, I'll pay that.
42:06Show us the slap.
42:08Alright, so Attenborough steps to you and says, alright O'Leary, you've got no ticket sales,
42:12you suck man.
42:13Give it to him.
42:15Give it to him.
42:17Woah.
42:19Wow.
42:20Oh my god, he almost actually had me.
42:26The wasp is still flying.
42:28Ed, pay that.

42:39They felt they should not have been invited to the festival.
42:41This viral cheeseburger toasty has just popped up in what unlikely menu?

42:59I'm sorry.
43:00But I'm going to give it to you anyway.
43:02It's their in-flight economy menu.
43:03Never get toast on a plane.
43:06Stop pretending you fly economy.
43:08I'm just saying.
43:10Why is this your sage advice and your many years of life Tom, is never get toast on a plane?
43:16Well, write it down because it's always disappointing.

43:38I thought you were upset at the toast on the plane thing.
43:41Highway to Heaven is getting remade.
43:44Yeah, reboot.
43:45Yeah.
43:46Is that just another way of saying he's dead?
43:48Yeah, he has passed.
43:50He's right.
43:50He's at an age where I could kill him with an oaken pants leg.
43:54I think the job may have been done already, right?
