Seven star Larry Emdur jokingly threatens to slap his co-host's face after trying to solve brain-teaser that stumped top Aussie sport stars - and there's an annoyingly simple answer
Channel 7 broadcaster Larry Emdur has jokingly claimed he was about to slap his co-host Liam Tapper in the face after the latter left him and Kylie Gillies stumped with a brain-teaser challenge on live television.
Introducing the segment, Tapper revealed on The Morning Show that several members of Australian V8 Supercars team, Red Bull Ampole Racing, had been attempting the challenge but had been left perplexed.
Tapper described the challenge, stating that participants are asked to get a piece of A4 paper, cut a hole in the middle of it and then poke their head through the hole without breaking the paper.
The supercars drivers shared their results on TikTok but none of them could figure out how to complete the challenge.
Tapper, then challenged Emdur and Gillies to the brain-teaser, but the pair were equally left stumped.
'Liam, can I ask you a question? You've seen my ears,' Emdur joked.
'You have to poke your head through the hole,' Liam said before, Gillies folded the piece of paper in half and put it under her chin.
'I think it's got to be something like this,' she said.
Emdur went on to pull the entire piece of paper down over his head, tearing it in the process.
That was when Tapper stepped in to show them how to complete the move, grabbing a piece of paper and poking his finger onto his forehead, through the hole - much to the frustration of his co-hosts.
'I learned this not just from the Red Bull team but also because of being a dad, so I would have thought you'd have been across this Larry,' Tapper began.
'Poke your head through the hole,' he said laughing at the play on words.
Emdur then addressed his co-host, joking: 'Liam, Liam, this is not fricking Romper Room, mate!'
'You don't seem that impressed Larry,' Tapper said.
Upon revealing how to complete the challenge Emdur (left) was left stumped but joked he was going to 'slap Tapper's face through the hole'
'Liam, we are the top-rated morning show in all of Australasia,' Emdur said.
He then said firmly tongue-in-cheek: 'If you do something like that again I'm going to slap your face through the hole.
'That was good I quite liked that.'

Obviously I alerted the WTA, and they found the guy, who was actually on site. Things like this happen all the time. Obviously we are very well protected, which makes you feel safe. The WTA does a great job of being there for you with that. I do feel like we are protected as much as possible, which at least puts your mind at ease a little bit.'

Australian astounded after visiting UK as he says Brits are 'built differently'
An Australian who visited the UK said Brits are "built differently", and there's a key reason why. He was left astounded after stopping by as he ventured on a trip to Venice An Australian who visited the UK was left astounded when he touched down in the airport. Liam Dowling was left totally floored by one thing when he landed on British soil, and claimed there's a specific reason why Brits are "built differently" to other people around the world. Liam's video has gone viral after he shared it on TikTok and his explanation left people in total hysterics. In the clip, he admitted he was travelling to Venice, but stopped at an airport in the UK on his travels and, when he called by the Wetherspoons, he couldn't get over one thing. In the video, he said: "I'm here at the Spoons airport, on my way to Venice. It's 5am - there's not a single person in here not drinking. It's 5am. "I feel like in Aus, we kind of wait until like 7am/8am - you get some looks if you're drinking in the airport at 5am. No one here gives a f***. "I reckon you could come here at 4am, and it would not matter. Like, Britian just - they don't care. Maybe it's the Europe/Aus thing, but everyone here is boozing and I love it. Bit too early for me though, so, I'm just going to stick to my coffee." The video has been viewed over 100,000 times since it's been shared, and people have been left gobsmacked by it. Natually, some Brits just couldn't stop laughing. One said: "God forbid a nation has hobbies." Another wrote: "Time doesn't exist in the airport or on Christmas Day." A third replied: "I'm Polish (we're infamous for drinking a lot) and I have been living in the UK for 10 years, but even I can't hack how they do it. Brunch time, 11ish, I can get, but 5am is crazy business." Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "Got to a NY airport at 6am. Asked for a Bacardi and they said no alcohol til midday. I was gobsmacked." One more also quipped: "Spoons in Birmingham airport was absolutely rammed at 2am when I last went." People had all sorts of stories about drinking at airports, but many seemed to agree on one idea - time doesn't exist when you're about to hop on a plane. Many Brits couldn't help but laugh in the comments, with a cheeky pre-flight tipple appearing to be the norm for many - no matter what time it may be. Thoughts and theories were super varied, but many Brits couldn't help but make jokes about it. The video really did make many people chuckle. Another wrote: "If you think about it, 5am is just really late at night. 7am would be more unacceptable, as I consider that morning. Regardless of time though, if I'm at an airport, then I'm at Spoons drinking." One more added: "Every time I fly from Manchester Airport, I choose as early as I can 4am/5am, grab a burger and sit in the bar with a few pints and watch the planes until my gate opens. Like my father, and my father's father." Meanwhile, someone else chimed in with: "Time does not exist in airports. Except the time you've got to catch your flight - that one's important."
