Short filmTranscript
00:01We've scoured the nation to find 10 of the country's most prolific home gamers.
00:06I played for the women's league in this game.
00:09And they're not so tech-savvy mums.
00:11You're such a good teacher.
00:14Here's my game.
00:15To take on some of the biggest games on the planet.
00:19They'll only have one day to master the controls.
00:22So that's down.
00:24Learn the lingo.
00:25You don't want to keep shooting because you'll run out of ammo.
00:27What's the quest?
00:28And find the grist.
00:30Damn it.
00:31I don't need to tell you everything.
00:32Yes, you do.
00:33To outplay...
00:34Let's go!
00:35...the other mums.
00:38Oh, shoot.
00:39Focus, Mum. Mum, focus.
00:41We've built the country's most epic gaming arena,
00:45packed with next-gen consoles and state-of-the-art PCs.
00:52With real-world side quests...
00:54...to test their newfound skills.
00:58Oh, I wonder who will be commentating the side quests.
01:00We will be, Brindley.
01:01It's literally our only job.
01:03Oh, thank God.
01:04I need a job.
01:07Expect twists.
01:08You will be blindfolded.
01:09No.
01:11Turns.
01:12That's it. You're off the team.
01:13Frustration.
01:14Can I have a different son?
01:15And glorious slow-mo action replays.
01:27Let's go, Mum.
01:28We are coming first.
01:29Let's go!
01:30Done.
01:31Grab a chair.
01:32Grab your controller.
01:35And grab the person who gave birth to you.
01:40Mum, I think you're a gamer. Are you a gamer?
01:42Only one mum will be left standing.
01:46Welcome to Ready Gamer Mum.
02:01I was waiting for a game in Fortnite and I came across this advertisement that said,
02:06Are there any young gamers out there who want to have an opportunity to game with your mum on a
02:11TV show?
02:12And I was like, sign me up.
02:17I have never played a game before.
02:19Everything in me wanted to scream no.
02:22But because I love Romy so much, of course I'm going to say yes.
02:26Because I love you.
02:30The first thing I notice is that I am the only girl that isn't a mum.
02:39But I don't see it as a negative thing at all.
02:41I feel like, you know, I'm on the same level as anyone else in that room.
02:46Hi guys.
02:47Hi.
02:48Oh, I love that energy.
02:51Welcome gamers and welcome mothers of those gamers to Ready Gamer Mum.
03:01I'm your host Tegan Yorath and I've spent months searching up and down the motu to find this ragtag bunch
03:08of the country's top gaming talent.
03:11And out of all of the applicants, Maccas have selected one lucky team to enter as their McDonald's wildcard.
03:17Rachel and Romy.
03:19Romy is a winner.
03:20If I can grab onto his coattails, then yeah, we can be a winning team.
03:25It's so nice to have you all here.
03:27And great to have you out of your mum's dinty basements.
03:32Ayla, how many hours a week do you normally game?
03:35Probably around 20, 30 a week.
03:39Lisa, same question.
03:43Zero.
03:45I'm not a gamer.
03:46I was the mum who unplugged the internet.
03:49I thought it would be better for them to be outside.
03:52I don't know.
03:52Hacking a tree or something.
03:55This show, like many games that you've played before, comes with a few unexpected twists.
04:01The first one, and probably the biggest.
04:06Gamers, you will not be the ones playing the games on this show.
04:11Only your mums will.
04:19You've got us, mum.
04:20You've got us.
04:21Yeah.
04:23Oh, my God.
04:25You're doing everything out the window, really.
04:27I'm horrified.
04:29Oh, my God.
04:30Oh, no.
04:32I'm devastated.
04:33Oh, my gosh.
04:35You were supposed to carry me.
04:38I came in wanting to prove, you know, I'm a credible gamer, and now I'm relying on my mum.
04:46By yourself.
04:48Sam, how are you feeling for this?
04:50Are you feeling confident?
04:51I was.
04:55I imagined you and I playing as a team, so my heart sank.
05:02Maybe not now.
05:03I don't rate my own talent, that's for sure.
05:07To be fair, the show is called Ready Gamer Mum, not Ready Gamer Person who's already really good at games.
05:14That's true.
05:16Mum hadn't touched a controller until a week or two ago.
05:20Yeah.
05:22Oh.
05:25Each week, you'll be tested on your ability to pick up a brand new game, learn it, and crush it,
05:31in a head-to-head battle against all you other mums.
05:37And the mum who crushes it the least will be taking their kid home early.
05:41And will miss out on the chance to take home that $50,000 prize.
05:47Not lucky.
05:48Not lucky.
05:50Are you all still up for it?
05:52Yeah.
05:53Well, what game will we be loading up first?
05:56Ooh.
05:57Put on your baggy shorts and sneakers, chuck on some punk rock.
06:01We're hitting the ramps with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
06:07I saw a few excited faces in there.
06:10A few.
06:10Let's go.
06:12Could not have picked a better game for us.
06:16We are the ones to watch for sure.
06:18The Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise is a series of classic skateboarding games released in the early 2000s.
06:25You earn points by chaining flips, grabs, grinds, and manuals into long combos.
06:30The game has helped define arcade-style sports games and skate culture for a generation.
06:36Shortly, you'll move next door into the lobby to custom-built practice zone where kids, you'll have the next few
06:42hours to help mum.
06:43Oli, manual, flip, their way kind of into being mildly competent.
06:48Okay.
06:49Then tomorrow, you'll be going face-to-face, board-to-board, back here, in the final round.
06:57I've never seen the game.
06:59I don't know how to play it.
07:00Can I have a different son?
07:03So, are you ready, Gamer Mums?
07:05No.
07:09Are you ready, Gamer Mums?
07:11Yeah!
07:14All right then, game on!
07:17The teams are now entering our purpose-built training facility, the lobby,
07:22where the gamers will find all the equipment they need to train their mums up for tomorrow's final round.
07:29Whoa!
07:30Wow, this is amazing.
07:32It sort of made us feel like, oh my God, we're actually really doing this.
07:36I got the cobalt one.
07:37I don't know what I'm doing with it, but I'll hold it.
07:40It's pretty and that's all you need to worry about, Mum.
07:42To ease everyone's nerves, I've set them a simple task.
07:46Create their first gaming avatar.
07:48So now you can pick a face.
07:50I don't like your nails, eh?
07:52That someone looks like you!
07:54And with endless options...
07:56Am I a female?
07:58You can be whatever you want to be. You can be a toaster if you want to be nowadays.
08:02The generation gap is painfully evident.
08:05Okay, what am I going to wear? What are you like?
08:07Are you something more like, more like drippy?
08:09Do you know what drip is?
08:10No!
08:11Drip is when you cry and your tears drip to the ground.
08:15What is a drip?
08:16Drip is like, um, this is drip, this is drip, this is swaggy, hopefully.
08:21Blue jumper.
08:23Mmm, yep, yep.
08:25You're right. You're so right. You are so right.
08:28Oh, should I have a hat? I want a hat.
08:29I think we just get into it as quickly as possible.
08:31We just chose the first outfit and then got onto the trick shot.
08:36We definitely have gotten very carried away.
08:38Yes, but they do look way better than ours.
08:40Go across one. Yes!
08:42Yes! That's awesome!
08:44If you look good, you feel good.
08:46And if you look good and you feel good, then you skate good.
08:49I'm feeling a little, you know, a little excited.
08:51It's all new.
08:53Right, so I'm going to let you roll around and just...
08:55I'm thinking, well, you know, how hard can this be?
08:59Oh!
09:07I can't keep him on the board.
09:10So, we have a little bit of work to do.
09:13We have a lot of work to do.
09:15Oh!
09:16You just punched that guy in the head.
09:18Well, he's in my way.
09:19This is new. This is very new to me.
09:21I mainly play on PC with a keyboard and mouse.
09:25Ollie is doing his best with the skill set that he has, which is zero.
09:31This is a bad role.
09:32Hey, maybe I can teach you how to play it in a minute.
09:34Honestly, you have more experience than I do.
09:37So, Ollie's the gamer, but I was the one who applied
09:42because I thought it would be a fantastic opportunity
09:44to just play games with my big son,
09:46who won't be living at home for too long.
09:49Yes!
09:49Oh, God, you've just hit someone.
09:51Did I do?
09:52Did I roll over someone?
09:53Yeah, I think he's dead.
09:55All teams are now familiarising themselves with the pack
09:58they'll be skating during tomorrow's final round.
10:01This is freaking me out.
10:02You're all right, you're all right.
10:03Take your time, get used to the net.
10:04But first, they must master the controls.
10:08So, you're called for grabs.
10:10Grabs?
10:11Oh, yeah, so you grab your board.
10:13Ben's actually a skater,
10:14so he's got a pretty solid understanding of how skating works
10:18and all the lingo, which is still foreign to me.
10:21You come up and you press triangle,
10:22you're gonna start grinding.
10:24So, what's a grind?
10:26What's a grind?
10:26You don't grind.
10:27You watch me skate.
10:28Yeah, I don't know what a grind is.
10:29Pam.
10:30Pam's been my stepmum since I can remember.
10:32About two.
10:33Since before I can remember.
10:34Yeah.
10:35All right, so what button will you press for a flip trick?
10:39Uh...
10:39I told you this.
10:40Circle.
10:41No!
10:44For a flip trick, square.
10:45Square for the flip trick.
10:47Can you hold it down?
10:49I don't really think of her as being a stepmum.
10:51It's just mum, but it's Pam, you know?
10:54I can't do that one.
10:56You can do it, Pam.
10:57Believe and you will achieve.
11:00Yeah, nice.
11:00Just keep doing that.
11:01While some of the mums are mastering new habits,
11:04others are trying to forget old ones.
11:07Try and keep it a little controlled.
11:09Try not to go into spammy.
11:10Okay.
11:11That's how I've won anything on PlayStation.
11:13Just pushing all the buttons and see what they do.
11:19Are you gonna mindlessly hit buttons?
11:21Yeah.
11:22Okay, perfect.
11:22Just making sure we have a plan.
11:24This game isn't a button masher.
11:26We can't just press every button and hope for the best.
11:28A lot about timing and being careful.
11:32Oh, and again.
11:35But grinds are real good ways to get lots of points.
11:38And if you throw some tricks in, that multiplier will go up.
11:42Oh, yeah.
11:44Yeah.
11:45Oh.
11:47I think if we can just find a rhythm for you, then we'll be good.
11:55Whoop, whoop.
11:56Whoop, whoop.
11:57This lady here is getting about a million points every time.
12:02When my kids were little, Tony Hawk Pro Skater was my time out.
12:08So I think I've got a bit of a sneaky advantage.
12:11Where do we go from here?
12:14We're just hoping people will like us
12:17because we're gonna get quite competitive
12:19and that might come across as quite arrogant.
12:22Yeah.
12:22Okay, so they're gonna be the winners.
12:27With $50,000 on the line and only 24 hours to level up.
12:33Ouch. You're all right.
12:34Mastering these game mechanics won't come easy for all.
12:38We could just read the controls, but I prefer manual labour and struggle.
12:44Fall behind.
12:47And it could be game over.
12:49I just can't work it out.
12:52And I'm panicking because I think if I can't keep him on the board,
12:57we're done.
13:06Oh, what did I do?
13:07He fell in some water.
13:08Our gamers are teaching their mums Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 plus 4.
13:14Yes. Yes.
13:15That's it.
13:16You're such a good teacher.
13:17And it's all about grinds, grabs and flips linked into clean combos.
13:22The more times we jump, the bigger the multiplier will be.
13:25Because tomorrow, it won't just be practice.
13:28Yes. Yes.
13:29Finish with the lowest scoring combo and they could be bailing out of the competition.
13:34Ooh, ooh, ooh.
13:37Get up the ramp, man.
13:39But how many points will our mums realistically need to remain safe?
13:44Oh, that was mean.
13:44Oh, that felt so good.
13:47Yeah, but that was 360 points.
13:49We're going to need like 100,000.
13:52Yeah, in one combo.
13:54You need to relax.
13:55Think of a happy place.
13:58Home, on the farm, milking a cow.
14:00How's it happy?
14:00That is my...
14:01That's work.
14:02Growing up on a farm, the only way I made, like, outside connections were to, like, through games and all
14:07of that.
14:07Yeah, tap another button video.
14:09You've got to be faster than that.
14:11Well, you've got to explain it better than that.
14:13How am I supposed to explain it better than that?
14:14You have to think.
14:15How do I explain this to mum?
14:17In between farm jobs, he sneaks inside and catches up on his gaming.
14:21And we don't mind because we believe in our family that if you're talented at something, go with your talent.
14:27Okay, so I'm still, like, a little uncertain what you mean about X triangle.
14:32Oh!
14:32Oh!
14:36Do it again.
14:37X in triangle.
14:38X in triangle now.
14:39Yep.
14:42Okay, okay, okay, okay.
14:44We're getting there.
14:45I've had six children.
14:46That was very stressful and very hard.
14:49But this is another level of hard.
14:51Try it again, because if I can get you to do this five times in a row, then we can
14:53start actually doing the real trip.
14:54Oh, my gosh.
14:56Hey, mums.
14:57You're doing fantastically well so far.
15:00But it's starting to get a little bit stuffy in here.
15:02It smells like fear and some gamer farts.
15:08I think we might need a little bit of a break from all of this.
15:11So I've got a side quest for you guys.
15:14Oh, no.
15:16A bit of hands-on experience.
15:19There is a bus waiting outside for you.
15:22So I'll see you guys there.
15:36We're on the road, baby.
15:38This is us.
15:39Yeah, that's us.
15:41It's got to be a skate park.
15:42First to do a double grip backflip.
15:46Do you think we're going to meet Tony himself?
15:48Oh, that would be sick.
15:48Imagine that.
15:50This month.
15:51This month.
15:51Gamer mum.
15:53When our gamers and their mum step off this bus, they won't just be arriving.
15:58They'll be levelling up.
16:02Street clothes off.
16:04Game skins on.
16:06Oh!
16:08Because before mum can play, she needs that main character energy.
16:13I guess you're hitting the mega ramp, mum.
16:16We're not going to skate down that thing, are we?
16:19What are we in for?
16:21It's too high.
16:26Nice of you guys to drop in.
16:29It's giving ten Tony Hawks in front of me.
16:35Sam, Ollie, how are you guys feeling looking at that ramp?
16:39I...
16:39My mouth's gone dry.
16:44Lisa, have you ever been down a ramp like that before?
16:46Never.
16:47Ever.
16:47I'm petrified.
16:49It's great to be outdoors, but there's no way.
16:51You got what you wish for?
16:53No.
16:53Yeah, I did.
16:55Welcome to your first side quest.
16:59I've got a friend along to show you what you're going to do.
17:02Cool.
17:04Levi, hit it!
17:06What's up?
17:10The neck minute, man.
17:12The neck minute.
17:13Yeah.
17:13You know, it's true Kiwi.
17:15Aye.
17:17We're easily starstruck there.
17:19We're not used to it.
17:21Yeah!
17:27Justice, do you have Chris Warner's cell phone number on speed dial?
17:33We might need it.
17:36Players, this is Levi Hawkins, skateboard legend and viral video sensation.
17:41Wow.
17:43I told you to keep it a little bit simple for them.
17:46I was trying to clear it though.
17:50For this side quest, your duo will be getting a dope mum friendly board of your own
17:55and pimping it out to be the mad sickest deck that there ever was.
18:01You will be pushing yourselves down the daunting ultra steep ramp
18:04into the mega soft, cushy foam pit of death.
18:08No!
18:10No!
18:11I'm a little bit nervous.
18:13That ramp looks huge.
18:15I'm hoping I get to push her down.
18:18Whichever mum impresses Levi the most can earn the Barocca bounce.
18:22Oh!
18:23This is a valuable advantage for you to use in tomorrow's final round.
18:28Which this week is, Levi?
18:30A 30 second head start in the final round tomorrow.
18:33Yeah!
18:36I think the Barocca bounce would be a really good advantage for us to have.
18:40So far the practice went well, but I don't think it went well enough.
18:45You will have just 30 minutes to build your board.
18:47Your time starts now!
18:52Oh!
18:56I just took what nobody else wanted.
18:58Oh!
18:59As a teacher, I'm used to making magic with little or no resources.
19:03Let's do some animals.
19:04Okay, I'll let you lead the way.
19:06What are we doing?
19:07I don't even know how to start.
19:08So I think what we'll do, figure out a graphic that we're going to design on here.
19:12Let's think.
19:13Let's think.
19:14Something amazing.
19:15We could just write something funny on your notes.
19:17Lock down Lisa.
19:18It's locked in Lisa.
19:21Whenever a lovely Lisa needs to lock in, I'm just screaming in her ear.
19:25Lock it in Lisa, lock it in!
19:28That's Matt's motto.
19:31This is a great idea.
19:33In our culture, the star signs are by what day of the week you're born.
19:38The typical lions are Tuesday-borns and the two of us are Tuesday-borns.
19:43And so that's why we picked that.
19:46Yeah.
19:48We have a secret language.
19:49Talking in Burmese, isn't it?
19:51Oh, yeah.
19:51We can communicate without other people knowing.
19:54Yeah.
19:54I love it.
19:56I'm thinking, yes, we'll definitely put in our culture in there, honey.
19:59Yeah, yeah.
20:00But I also want to put some identity in there as well of you and I.
20:04So I was thinking BJ for your name and then the 69 for my birthday.
20:09Might be a bit rude.
20:12I don't know where your mind has gone to, actually.
20:14We need some fluffy stuff for the helmets, though, and everyone's taking fluffies.
20:17I know.
20:18You're going to have to go and raid someone's fluffies.
20:20Who's got too much fluff?
20:21This will be so good for you, Tush.
20:25Dinosaur.
20:26You're a squirrel on them, right?
20:28Are you calling me a dinosaur, you so-and-so?
20:30I'm not there yet.
20:32Am I?
20:35Shush.
20:36Shush.
20:37All right, teams.
20:38Ten minutes to go.
20:40I'm going to write R.
20:42R.
20:43Hey.
20:43Big letters.
20:44We've decided to go with the same theme as the outfit that I'm wearing.
20:49So we're going to go with like a Rad Barbie kind of look.
20:52Rad Barbie.
20:53Put this lady under her bread.
20:54She could be a graffiti artist.
20:57Have you got any extra fluff that I could use?
20:59You want this fluff?
21:00Only if you don't want to use it, though.
21:01Take it.
21:02I need all the help I can get.
21:04So, uh...
21:04You need a miracle.
21:06Can you give me some tips for when I'm going down the ramp?
21:09Press X and you're a restaurant.
21:10Press X.
21:10It's that easy.
21:12When was the last time you...
21:14What?
21:14On the skateboard?
21:15Yeah.
21:17Never.
21:18I really want everybody to see what I could do.
21:22Especially at my age.
21:24Yeah.
21:24I might fly off.
21:27Five minutes to go!
21:29Is it S-T-E-E-Z-Y?
21:31Yeah.
21:34S-T-E-Z.
21:35It's like a sort of like skatery term for something that's like...
21:39Um...
21:40Style.
21:41Yeah, style.
21:42How cool you make it look.
21:45A work of art, honey.
21:46It's a work of art.
21:48I'm starting to panic now.
21:49I'm starting to panic.
21:51I'm just decking your foot right now.
21:53Let's just do like this.
21:54Like that, yeah.
21:55Our family name is Cherry.
21:57Agla Cherry Breeze Cherry.
21:58It looks cool.
21:59It looks nice.
22:00So the Cherry Bombers.
22:03Yeah, that's cool.
22:04We just want to make something silly, make something fun.
22:06And hopefully it's just not too plain compared to the other ones.
22:09Seeing a lot of fluffy pink boards around.
22:12Give it a try.
22:13Give it a little try.
22:13Give it a little try.
22:14No, I'm not gonna try it.
22:15No, I'll fall off.
22:16I'm gonna fall.
22:18I'm gonna fall.
22:19I'm gonna fall.
22:19Oh!
22:20Oh!
22:21Oh!
22:22Oh!
22:25This is gonna be so funny.
22:27Can we say something with the letters?
22:29Neck minute now.
22:30Let's see.
22:31Ten.
22:31Nine.
22:33Eight.
22:34Seven.
22:35Six.
22:36Five.
22:37Four.
22:38Three.
22:39Two.
22:41One.
22:42Boards down.
22:43Step away from the board.
22:45Woo!
22:46Alright, passing over to our Ready Game and Mum commentators.
22:50Thanks, Tegan.
22:51Welcome to today's SciQuest.
22:52My name is Tony Lyle and I also have a mum.
22:55And my name is Brinley Stent and I unfortunately lost mine in a game of poker.
22:58Well, that's a real shame, Brinley.
23:01Today, our aim here is simple.
23:02To slide a group of real life mums down a ramp in order to win a prize.
23:0730 seconds going into the final round.
23:10Well, 30 seconds sounds like a lot of time for you, Tony.
23:12I'm not sure what you mean by that, Brinley.
23:14But let's get into it.
23:15Alright, Levi, who should we send down first?
23:17I think we should send Rachel and Romy.
23:20No!
23:23Oh, they don't seem too excited about it, Tony.
23:26Alright, alright.
23:27Let's do this.
23:28I love this.
23:29She could be the angriest person I've ever seen wearing tie-dye.
23:32First of all, I want to make a shout out to my red son, Romy.
23:37Woo!
23:37For making this drip fit!
23:40Oh!
23:43That's a good drip, right?
23:44We have here the Pacifica vibe as a nod and a tribute to Romy's beautiful Samoan heritage.
23:52Wow!
23:57It was good knowing you, Mum.
24:00One last hug before she slides to what I can only imagine will be her untimely demise.
24:05That's right, folks.
24:06The pit is full of razor blades.
24:09Three, two, one, go!
24:13Three, two, one, go!
24:16Three, two, one, go!
24:18Three, two, one, go!
24:22Welcome back to this ReadyGamer mum's side quest.
24:25And we left you with Rachel standing precariously on the top of that ramp.
24:29It was good knowing you, Mum.
24:31Thank you, Mum.
24:32Thank you, Mum.
24:33Let's see if you can fly.
24:34And as a reminder, they're being judged on how stylish their skateboard is and how stylish
24:39they can slam themselves into a foam pit.
24:42Count us in, Tegan.
24:44Three, two, one, go!
24:48Get in!
24:54Come on, Mel!
24:55That looks harder than me trying to get out of a bean bag after about four white wine spritzes,
24:59if you know what I mean.
25:01Brennan, are you drunk right now?
25:02Of course, Breeze and Ayla up next.
25:04They're our only all-female team.
25:06Sorry, Tony, I'll just stop you there.
25:07As the female commentator, I feel like I should introduce this team.
25:10Sure.
25:11Breeze and Ayla are our only all-female team.
25:14Is that all you have to add?
25:16Yeah, do you have a problem with that, Tony?
25:17No, no, no.
25:19Three, two, one, go!
25:27Yep, she's going for the starfish technique there.
25:29Beautiful side mount.
25:32Next up, our youngest mum, Tintin.
25:40It's a ten from me, Tony.
25:42Now for our frontrunners, Janelle and Liam.
25:45I mean, I don't know what's going to stop these guys.
25:47Yeah, that's why I always advocate for the old Tonya Hardin technique.
25:50Go!
25:51Good job!
25:58Good job!
25:59Ouch!
26:00They are hoping to win that $50,000 so that Janelle can get a new face.
26:04Sam and Ollie.
26:06Feathers McSam.
26:07And it appears Sam has developed some sort of American accent for this side quest.
26:12And this is our jam.
26:15I don't know what you're talking about, Tony.
26:16I can't hear any accent at all.
26:18Now you're doing it.
26:19No, I'm not.
26:20Now let's watch this chicken woman throw herself down a ramp to win an advantage.
26:24Yee-haw!
26:26Go!
26:27Good luck!
26:32Yeah!
26:35Time for our next team.
26:36And you know what I'm in the mood to see, Brinley?
26:38Is it mullets?
26:39It's mullets.
26:40We are hashtag Pam Jam.
26:44That's what we are.
26:45Pam Jam is also the name of a viral infection I got at university.
26:49Go!
26:49Woo!
26:50Yeah!
26:51Let's go Pam Jam!
26:55Wow, she really got some air time there.
26:58Turns out she does have flow.
27:01Let's move on now to Rebecca and Bevan.
27:03And it appears that Bevan is dressed as a giant Kia.
27:06Let's see if he can fly.
27:07Yeah!
27:08Hi, I'm Bevan and I'm going to be subbing in for my mum.
27:11Oh!
27:12My beautiful mum.
27:12Say bye!
27:14Anahi!
27:18And a big crash there from Bevan rolling over the lip of the ramp with some very questionable
27:24skateboarding techniques.
27:25Well, you know what they say, Tony.
27:26It doesn't matter how you put on the pants as long as you don't go to work naked.
27:30They do say that.
27:31Nayla and Layton.
27:32This is Nana's gnarly board.
27:35Woo-hoo!
27:37Go!
27:38Woo-hoo!
27:44He's used his foot to propel her down the ramp.
27:47A move you might be more familiar with by its other name, kicking.
27:50I can't believe it.
27:52Now I'm going to need to see a replay, Tony.
27:58She might be a dinosaur, but she's not extinct yet.
28:01Yeah, and that was a jump so good it should be in a museum.
28:04Matthew and Lisa are our next team up and Lisa's looking pretty nervous about going off this ramp.
28:08I'm locked in, Lisa.
28:09I'm locked, Emily.
28:10Yeah, but look at that.
28:11Her son's hyping her up.
28:13That's a good son right there.
28:15I knew I should have had kids.
28:25Oh, she's done it.
28:26She's conquered her fears.
28:28And all it cost her was the indignity of having to climb out of a foam pit in front of
28:31a dozen virtual strangers and thousands watching at home.
28:35The best and the eldest for last.
28:37So, Sandra, Zani, you're up.
28:40Let's go.
28:41Like I'm always saying, Brinley, age is just a number.
28:44And like I'm always telling you, Tony, you've got to stop saying that, man.
28:48Okay.
28:49Three, two, one, go.
28:59Sandra coming down there, cool as you like, barely even raising the heart rate as she slides down.
29:06Let's head back to Tegan, where hopefully her and the next minute guy have decided on a winner.
29:10I feel like you guys all deserve to win this week.
29:13So when it comes to who has the best sport and ramp bomb style, I'm going to leave this one
29:18over to Levi.
29:19So we had a few favourites.
29:21Shout out to the mullets.
29:22I thought you guys were epic and super punk rock.
29:25And I thought Cherry Bomb was slick and rock and roll.
29:30Congratulations, Breeze and Ayla.
29:31You've nailed the advantage.
29:37Are you serious?
29:38I know.
29:39I'm so surprised.
29:41We are so proud of getting this rock bounce.
29:43It will definitely come in handy for a pro skater.
29:47100%.
29:48Yeah.
29:48You've been on the grind all day, literally.
29:51So take the night off, get some rest.
29:53Because tomorrow, things are getting next level.
29:57Get back on that bus.
29:59See ya.
30:00Cheers.
30:00Well, there you have it.
30:02Breeze and Ayla, officially the winners of our first Barocca bounce.
30:06Yeah.
30:06And a huge win for skateboarding in general.
30:08A once cool sport, now officially endorsed by your mum.
30:16Our gamers and their mums have spent the night training.
30:19And now it's time to put their skills to the test.
30:23This is the final round.
30:29Walking into the final round for the very first time, no idea what's in store for us.
30:36A little edgy.
30:37Yeah.
30:38Everything's quiet.
30:39You can feel the tension like it's an actual palpable tension.
30:44Whoo.
30:45All right, mums, kids.
30:47Welcome to the final round of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4.
30:52This is where all your hard work is hopefully going to pay off.
30:56Breeze and Ayla.
30:57Janelle and Liam.
30:58Sam and Ollie.
30:59Rebecca and Bevan.
31:00Rachel and Romy.
31:01You're our first heat.
31:04Remember, it's about who can do the highest scoring trick or combo within the time limit.
31:09Just a reminder to you kids.
31:11At no point or for any reason whatsoever are you allowed to touch those controllers.
31:16I'm watching.
31:19Breeze and Ayla, because you guys got that Barocca bounce, you'll start 30 seconds ahead of the rest of the
31:24mums.
31:25Feeling a bit odd having all eyes on me.
31:27I have confidence.
31:29100%.
31:29Are you ready?
31:31Yes.
31:32Skate!
31:34Right.
31:35Just use this time to get around as much as you can.
31:38We have 30 seconds to get the feel of it.
31:43Our strategy for this is to just hit one course and combo that we have been practicing for.
31:49Same route as every single time we've done it.
31:52Okay, we'll do it again.
31:53Yep, straight on.
31:54Nice.
31:54Nice.
31:56Nice.
31:56That's the real idea.
31:58Yeah.
32:00Oh, no.
32:01Hopefully we can land it because that will cost us the whole thing because we didn't teach us
32:05us anything else.
32:08Oh, man.
32:08This is so stressful.
32:10Breeze unable to gain any real advantage.
32:13Don't go around.
32:13Don't go around.
32:14Rants, you don't know.
32:15It's too late anyway.
32:16Just what you know.
32:17Okay.
32:17The rest of you are starting in three.
32:19Start again, alright?
32:20Two.
32:21One.
32:22Skate!
32:25Alright, Mum.
32:25Good luck.
32:26Be confident.
32:27Be confident.
32:28We are winning this.
32:29Good luck, Mum.
32:30Thanks for having me.
32:31Thanks for having me.
32:31I've never been this nervous in my entire life.
32:34Here we go.
32:34We're in.
32:35We are coming first.
32:37Done.
32:38Okay, you know where to go?
32:39We've come up with a plan.
32:40It's going to work.
32:42Okay, you see our line.
32:43That's the line we practiced.
32:44We figured out a way to consistently get a combo on the board by jumping on and off the railings
32:49and doing a trick at the end.
32:51Jump.
32:53Almost.
32:53Almost.
32:56Oh!
32:57You're alright.
32:58Alright.
32:58Alright.
32:58Relax.
33:00Rail grinding was the one skill I knew that she is good at.
33:03That I love.
33:05Nice.
33:06Nice.
33:07Nice.
33:07Got something.
33:08I can do that one thing over and over and over again.
33:12Nice.
33:13Try again.
33:14Holding first place, while Janelle looks like she's risking it all for some big points.
33:19Okay.
33:20Because it's further away, you have to hit it faster.
33:23Okay.
33:24We're just not quite getting our timing down.
33:28Here we go.
33:28So I'm in her shoulder, trying to calm her down as she's going.
33:33It's okay.
33:36There's a 2,000.
33:38That's alright.
33:38We've taken any score we can get at this point.
33:44Oh, shit.
33:46Focus, Mum.
33:46Mum, focus.
33:49Oh, my God.
33:50It's not working.
33:51Why is it not working?
33:52I don't understand.
33:52This was the plan.
33:54What do you need me to do?
33:55Nothing.
33:55Okay.
33:56It's amazing how fast three minutes is when you're playing a game and how slow three minutes is when you're
34:00at work.
34:03Players, you are now halfway through this round.
34:08Nice.
34:08We land the combo.
34:10Finally.
34:11Breeze takes the lead.
34:13But at the bottom of the board, Rachel and Romy and Sam and Ollie are still yet to nail a
34:18combo.
34:19Eee.
34:20Oh, shoot.
34:21Have I done anything?
34:24Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
34:28Again.
34:29Again.
34:30Nice.
34:311,260 leads.
34:32That's good.
34:32A triple grind combo puts Sam in third.
34:36All right, guys, you've got one minute left.
34:39Gosh, this is nerve-wracking.
34:41Yep.
34:41This is so scary.
34:43Oh, oh, oh.
34:44Oh, bugger.
34:45Yeah, go.
34:46Just do it.
34:46The plan's going out the window.
34:48Her fear and her panic overriding everything I've taught her.
34:52Oh, this is so scary.
34:53This is so scary.
34:55You all right?
34:56That's all right.
34:56Start from here.
34:57We're good.
34:59Yep.
34:59There we go.
35:00There we go.
35:01Yep.
35:03You get to land this.
35:04You can land this if you want.
35:05That's fine.
35:05That's 21.
35:06We'll take that.
35:07We'll take that.
35:07Oh, she sussed it.
35:09Oh, wow.
35:1121,000.
35:12We broke away from everybody else.
35:15We are coming first.
35:16Final 30 seconds.
35:18Rebecca and Rachel are fighting to avoid last place.
35:22Hit that grind.
35:24Grind, grind, grind.
35:26And then next minute.
35:27To the grind.
35:28Balance.
35:28Balance.
35:29X.
35:29Nice.
35:31That works.
35:33Rebecca's in third.
35:35Sam and Ollie and Rachel and Romy.
35:37You're in danger now.
35:39You can get back up.
35:40That's the point.
35:41Oh, come on.
35:42You can do it.
35:43Ten.
35:44Nine.
35:45Eight.
35:46Seven.
35:47Nice.
35:48Nice.
35:48Five.
35:49Four.
35:50Three.
35:51Two.
35:53One.
35:54Control is down.
35:56Woo!
35:56Oh, that was nerve-wracking.
36:00Not bad.
36:01Not bad.
36:02Not bad, everybody.
36:03Now let's see the final scores for heat one.
36:07Wow.
36:07An impressive performance from Janelle.
36:0921,000.
36:11Good job.
36:13Sam.
36:14You do have the lowest scoring combo.
36:16And you will be going into that final death match.
36:19Okay.
36:19A death match sounds very scary.
36:22Yeah, one of us will be executed by the end of it.
36:26But who you'll be playing against?
36:28We're about to find that out.
36:31The teams taking part in heat two are...
36:34Pam and Ben.
36:35Lisa and Matthew.
36:37Tintin and Justice.
36:38Sandra and Zani.
36:40Nayla and Layton.
36:42Show us some grind to no stall kick-flipping action.
36:47I don't know what that is.
36:48I don't know.
36:49I'll be honest.
36:50Ready, Gamer Mums?
36:52Yeah!
36:53Heat one set the pace for us.
36:55If we're in just the similar level as that,
36:57then I think we should be okay.
36:59Three, two, one...
37:02Skate!
37:07Oh!
37:08Oh, shit.
37:09That was a good start, wasn't it?
37:10You know what to do?
37:12Just like we practice, Mum.
37:14Okay.
37:14I'm feeling like I can pull this off.
37:16I have faith. I have faith.
37:17Yes, yes.
37:18You're already here.
37:19So you're going to do your commitments.
37:21Basically for Lisa, it's go up the ramp,
37:23hit triangle, square, triangle, square, triangle, square,
37:26and then move that arrow to the right.
37:29And all we're doing, we're going in a circle.
37:33Third triangle.
37:34Nice.
37:35Really good start.
37:36Lisa and Matthew are putting up the first big score.
37:39This, X, X, triangle.
37:42Almost.
37:44There's a rail, there's a rail.
37:46Oh, my God.
37:48What are you doing?
37:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:55I tried to minimise how many buttons to teach her.
37:59Operate.
37:59We just kind of focus on grinds.
38:01Yeah, jump and grind.
38:03There you go.
38:04Jump off.
38:06Turn around.
38:08Whatever Zani has told me, I haven't registered properly.
38:14Stunning.
38:15Stunning.
38:19Get up, get up, get up.
38:19You're all good, you're all good.
38:21She was stressing about it.
38:22Yeah.
38:22She was like, oh, we're going to lose, I'm going to go home.
38:24And it's like, well, I think everyone's feeling the same way.
38:26No stress, no worries.
38:27Go up one of them and start grinding.
38:28I am a little bit stressed.
38:29Oh, no.
38:29Try not to freak out.
38:31Okay.
38:31This one.
38:32Triangle.
38:32X, X.
38:34Triangle.
38:34X.
38:35Triangle.
38:36Oh.
38:38Mums, half your time is already gone.
38:41Let's see if you can get some...
38:42Yep.
38:42Square, triangle.
38:45Yes, mum.
38:46Yes.
38:47I have the biggest smile on my face right now, mum.
38:49You're doing really well.
38:50It was actually a lot of fun.
38:53And then triangle.
38:54Square, triangle.
38:55Square, triangle.
38:55Beautiful.
38:56Another 8,000.
38:57Lock it in, Lisa.
38:59Lock it in.
39:01Yeah.
39:04Remember?
39:04Jump and grind.
39:06Yep.
39:07Okay.
39:08That's something.
39:09Sandra with her first combo.
39:11But Nayla and Pam still struggling to put their first points on the board.
39:15Oh, my God.
39:16Is it real?
39:17Jump and grind it.
39:18Just trying to remind mum with a game plan.
39:20Hold it.
39:21Hold it.
39:23It's only two buttons, so we can't be that far off getting it right.
39:26Yep.
39:27Yep.
39:27Jump.
39:28Oh.
39:29Sorry, Bubba.
39:32Grind it.
39:33Beautiful.
39:34Jump ball.
39:35Nice.
39:36Stunning.
39:36Pam's moved up the leaderboard with one minute left.
39:43Jump.
39:44Nayla, jump.
39:45Go.
39:47Triangle X.
39:49Triangle X.
39:50Oh.
39:51Tintin's moved clear into the lead, but Sandra and Nayla both still struggling.
39:5710, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
40:12Controllers down.
40:14Well done.
40:17Oh, let's go.
40:19Yeah.
40:21It was terrible.
40:22All right.
40:23Show me those scores.
40:28Especially impressed with Tintin's performance.
40:31Boo-yah.
40:31It was awesome.
40:32Oh my God.
40:33Unfortunately, we're looking at the lowest scores today.
40:37And Sandra, that is you.
40:40So sorry.
40:41That's all right.
40:44Terrible, because I practiced well and then to get to that score is disappointing.
40:50You will be joining Sam in the final death match.
40:53Oh.
40:54We do not want to be the first ones to go.
40:57You're not supposed to giggle, Sandra.
40:58This is serious.
40:59It's a death match.
41:01We've come last.
41:03I'm thinking it's home time.
41:12All right.
41:13All right.
41:14Two mums.
41:14Two kids.
41:16Two controllers.
41:18Only one place left in this competition.
41:22Sam.
41:22Sandra.
41:23Welcome.
41:25To death match.
41:32We have not planned for the death match scenario at all.
41:35We didn't expect we were to get there.
41:36We assumed that we should focus on not getting there.
41:38That would give us a higher chance.
41:40I'm feeling nervous.
41:41And also, I'll be like letting down my son Zani as well.
41:47No, you're doing great.
41:49This time, you'll be playing against each other in graffiti mode.
41:52You'll have two minutes to do the best sick trick on as many ramps, rails and half pipes as you
41:59can.
42:00Get the high score on each obstacle to tag it in your team colour.
42:05If you beat the other mum's high score on an obstacle, you'll steal the tag and claim it for yourself.
42:11The mum with the most tags at the end of the game will be remaining in the competition.
42:15Ready for death match, mums?
42:20Yes.
42:21Yeah.
42:23The people we're up against are very kind people.
42:26They're lovely.
42:26They're lovely people.
42:28And to knock them out would be a tragedy.
42:30But a tragedy we may have to commit.
42:33Ready.
42:34Steady.
42:35Skate.
42:38You got the thumb.
42:41Woo!
42:42Sandra, you're red.
42:43And Sam, you're blue.
42:45We're going to go forward.
42:46I just looked at the screen and the rest of the world kind of faded away.
42:50And what was happening on the screen was not good.
42:55Oh, God.
42:57Come on.
43:02Jump off.
43:03Jump off.
43:04Nice.
43:04And I hadn't taught her the final challenge mode.
43:08So I had to quickly explain that on the fly.
43:11Now see, once it's red, you don't want to be in that area anymore.
43:13Oh.
43:14Go on the rails.
43:16Yeah, nice.
43:17Good.
43:17Here's Sandra stealing two tags of Sam's and creating one of her own.
43:21So we are ahead.
43:22Mum's doing her little tricks and tagging various things.
43:25Sandra is just rolling away with this one.
43:29Nice.
43:31Yep.
43:31Sam is not coming close.
43:33Come on.
43:34So if you go forward and then you turn and then you...
43:36Okay.
43:37Okay, do a check off of that.
43:39Never mind.
43:40It's so difficult to watch it.
43:42Get up.
43:43Jump on this rail.
43:45Okay.
43:46Oh dear.
43:47We're going to see Dad real soon, Ollie.
43:48It's fine.
43:49This is Sam still trailing Sandra by eights tags.
43:53I am feeling that the control is becoming quite moist.
43:56Rail again.
43:57Okay.
43:57So you remember the triangle to jump on the rail?
44:02Yeah, sure.
44:03Sweaty palms.
44:04One minute to go.
44:09Oh no.
44:10Just anywhere here on the rail.
44:14All of a sudden, Sam just starts stealing our tags.
44:19Land it.
44:20Nice.
44:21Okay.
44:23Sam nailing four tags at once, including one of Sandra's.
44:27Okay, keep it going.
44:27Keep it going.
44:28Where did I go to dance?
44:29Any minute?
44:30It's not red.
44:31Ten.
44:32Nine.
44:33Eight.
44:34Seven.
44:35Six.
44:36Five.
44:37Four.
44:39Three.
44:40Two.
44:40Five.
44:41Five.
44:42Five.
44:43Stop the game.
44:47We don't know the scores yet, but I think we did okay.
44:49The reaction from the crowd was positive.
44:51There was like a big, whoa, like if something changed, and then I wasn't sure what.
44:55All right, mums.
44:56Let's check out those scores.
44:59Oh, Sandra.
45:02I'm so sorry to say you have claimed fewer obstacles than Sam today.
45:07A little bit devastated.
45:09I thought we were doing quite well, and then it just, it just changed.
45:13Guess it's time to go home.
45:14It's time to go home.
45:15This week, it is game over for...
45:19No one!
45:21Oh!
45:25Oh!
45:29Oh!
45:31Oh!
45:31Oh!
45:31Can you believe it?
45:31No one's going home.
45:32Yeah.
45:33Surprising.
45:33I love it.
45:34I love it.
45:35I don't want anyone to leave.
45:40Oh, thank God.
45:43It's too soon.
45:47All of a sudden, we're not eliminated.
45:49Such relief.
45:50I didn't want to go home yet.
45:51I wasn't ready.
45:52I wanted to see more of these games and mum play them.
45:55I'll see you all here next time, where the game we're playing is going to take us to another dimension.
46:01Ooh!
46:03What could it be?
46:05You better be ready.
46:07Gamer Mums!
46:16Next time.
46:18New world, new rules.
46:21Sony's Astro Bot.
46:23Oh, no.
46:25Why can't I do this?
46:27A pint-sized hero.
46:29Oh, my.
46:31Giant obstacles.
46:33Go!
46:34And boundaries pushed to the limit.
46:37I'm going to die.
46:40With elimination on the line.
46:42Forward.
46:43Can they power up fast enough?
46:44Or will their game...
46:46They're so close.
46:48Crash at launch.
46:49I don't know.
46:50Mum's going to panic.
46:51Oh, shit.
