David Lutteral (0:28)
30 seconds, five questions. We're playing for $700. Our player today is Jeff from Everton Park.
Kip Wightman (0:37)
Hey, how are you going? Good. Good.
Susie O'Neill (0:39)
I'm not going to talk though because I'm going to head out.
David Lutteral (0:40)
Right.
Kip Wightman (0:41)
Susan's off. There's either Tiger. Jeff, I can say they played a couple of years ago. Back to work today like many of us are. He's a public servant. Where do you work there, Jeffrey? How much detail can you get into, you old son? Well, I'd probably have to.
SPEAKER_1 (0:56)
Yeah, no.
Kip Wightman (0:58)
Why do public servants always do that?
David Lutteral (1:00)
It's like a secret.
Kip Wightman (1:00)
Has anyone cares whether it's the Department of Public Works and Housing or Education? They feel they're CIA agents?
David Lutteral (1:08)
Yeah.
Kip Wightman (1:08)
You know what I mean?
I'm not a nurse and I'm not a teacher. Okay.
David Lutteral (1:13)
The door is it down? It's like they feel like they're going to get fired if they tell what their real job is when they go in.
Kip Wightman (1:18)
Maybe he's a policeman.
David Lutteral (1:20)
Oh, Jeff.
Susie O'Neill (1:22)
He's not going to tell us.
David Lutteral (1:24)
He's watching.
Kip Wightman (1:26)
Lots of sport over the break, mate. The daughter's netball, the son's playing all soccer and all sorts of stuff, so you kept pretty busy.
David Lutteral (1:32)
Yeah, yeah. Got to the Dolphins, the prelim.
SPEAKER_1 (1:35)
Of course, watched the Lions.
Kip Wightman (1:36)
Oh my, how many times have I watched that last four minutes over and over? You'll never get old.
David Lutteral (1:41)
The best.
Kip Wightman (1:42)
Warfy time.
David Lutteral (1:43)
Yeah.
Kip Wightman (1:44)
Down now. And you love the new Olympic. Warfy time is what it should be.
David Lutteral (1:48)
Yes.
Kip Wightman (1:49)
Exactly.
We're going to be talking the Olympic emblems shortly as well.
Did you like it?
SPEAKER_1 (1:55)
Yeah, it looks really good.
David Lutteral (1:56)
I agree. I really like how it looks like Queensland as well.
Kip Wightman (2:00)
Yeah, it's the shape of Queensland, which is pretty cool. We're going to talk more about that in a moment. But I think generally speaking, everyone's really, really happy with that, which is great. Right, let's get down to business, because as Nick said earlier, 700 bucks is where we're at. So a big opportunity for you. I haven't been in the cave for weeks, but lucky tells me there's plenty down there as well. So let's get started. Jeff from Everton Park, playing for the first time in a couple of years. Did you win back then?
No, she beat me on time.
SPEAKER_1 (2:27)
She beat me on time only, yeah.
Kip Wightman (2:28)
Right, so looking for his first win. Let's go. 30 seconds on the clock. Five questions. Jeff, your time starts now. How many stripes are on the Adidas logo?
David Lutteral (2:39)
Three.
Kip Wightman (2:40)
Which country recently became an associate member of the European Union?
David Lutteral (2:46)
Don't know.
Kip Wightman (2:47)
Beginning with P for Peter, what is another name for a bucket?
SPEAKER_1 (2:51)
Hale.
Kip Wightman (2:52)
Stout, Pilsner and Trappist are all types of what?
SPEAKER_1 (2:55)
Beer.
Kip Wightman (2:56)
What is eight times six?
David Lutteral (3:00)
48
Kip Wightman (3:01)
Stop it. Okay, you've done very well.
David Lutteral (3:06)
Okay.
Kip Wightman (3:06)
That's going to take some beating.
David Lutteral (3:09)
I really will for day one too after the holidays.
Kip Wightman (3:12)
This is going to affect our mood.
David Lutteral (3:14)
You could have ruined the next hour of our show.
Kip Wightman (3:15)
Next hour? This could put us back weeks, Jeff, if you beat her on day one.
David Lutteral (3:20)
Anyway, it is what it is.
Kip Wightman (3:21)
Release the beast.
Susie O'Neill (3:37)
Which reminds me, I saw Ray Warren do some stuff before the NRL Grand Final.
Kip Wightman (3:42)
I saw him, but didn't really hear it.
Susie O'Neill (3:44)
What was he doing? He was talking about the feeling.
David Lutteral (3:47)
Yeah, just giving like a rev up.
Susie O'Neill (3:49)
A bit like what Phil Gould sometimes does on the pitch.
David Lutteral (3:52)
But they had Cam Smith on the field doing the Phil Gould essay.
Susie O'Neill (3:54)
He was great.
David Lutteral (3:55)
Was he good at it?
Kip Wightman (3:56)
I saw Andrew Drones have a crack at it too.
David Lutteral (3:58)
He was good at it until he goes at the end, I can't hear anything, guys, it's so loud in the state. Are we done? I didn't hear that part. I thought he started off well.
