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.'

Farmer Wants A Wife fans left baffled after major 'editing fail' in a teaser for the Channel Seven show's upcoming episode
Farmer Wants A Wife fans have been left scratching their heads after a recent teaser exposed an editing fail. In the trailer, Farmer Jack, 26, could be seen enjoying a romantic black tie dinner date with two of his chosen matches, Olivia, 27, and Sarah, 29, at a dimly lit dinner table. However, fans were quick to point out that it was an editing fail, as there were four women on Jack's farm at the end of the previous episode. Fans also noted that there were four wine glasses on the table and only three people pictured. 'What happened? We didn't see Jack send anyone home and then we see the ad for tomorrow night,' one person wrote. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. In the trailer, Farmer Jack, 26, could be seen enjoying a romantic black tie date dinner with two of his chosen matches, Olivia, 27, and Sarah, 29, at the dinner table Another chimed in: 'No, Monique (black hair) was not at the black tie previews.' 'What happened to Jack farewelling his person? Did I miss something? Well done Channel 7 editing department,' one fan savagely penned. However, the network seemingly fixed the editing fail, with the latest trailer posted to Instagram showing Hayley, 23, in a bright pink dress at the city dinner. On Monday night's episode of Farmer Wants A Wife, Farmer Thomas came to the end of his emotional quest to find love. The South Australian wheat, barley, and lentil farmer, 35, declared his feelings for school teacher Clarette, 35. Realising that Clarette was the one, Thomas asked to speak with Rachael and Jess separately to tell them that Clarette had won his heart. Both ladies wished him well before leaving the farm together. Making his boldest move yet, Thomas left a handwritten note asking Clarette to meet him at sunset for an important conversation. Encircled by candles, Thomas locked eyes on Clarette and smiled as she walked towards him. The pair held hands before a nervous Thomas took a long, slow breath to steady himself. Thomas recalled the day the pair first met, saying, 'Clarette, when you walked into that room, my eyes just locked on you, and you took my hand, and that really meant a lot to me.' 'We've had our ups and downs, but we managed to get through them strong,' he continued, before telling Clarette how beautiful she looked. Thomas told Clarette she would make the most 'beautiful' wife and mother before delivering the words she had been waiting to hear. 'Clarette, I love you,' he declared in the moving moment. Wiping away tears, an emotional Clarette responded, 'I love you too. We're in love, it's official!' After confirming their bond Clarette said in a piece to camera, 'It feels amazing to be in love. 'It's what everyone kind of wants and hopes for in life, and it's been a long time coming for me. This is it for us, and I can't wait for our future.'

The unexpected word that predicts whether your relationship will survive or fail: 'If it's missing so is your future'
Have you ever wondered what truly keeps the spark alive in a relationship? When you push beyond the unexplained chemistry, fatal attraction or those flirty good morning texts, Australian dating expert Louanne Ward has revealed there's one unexpected eight-letter word that may hold all the answers. Forget everything you've been told about grand gestures or perfectly timed messages. According to Louanne, the real sign someone is genuinely interested and emotionally invested in you is far more subtle - and it all comes down to the small things. In a viral Instagram reel, Louanne has lifted the lid on the growing dating trend coined 'Pebbling' - a behaviour inspired by none other than penguins. 'Pebbling is when someone offers small, thoughtful actions that say, "I remembered", "I saw this and thought of you", "You matter, not just in the moment, but when you're not here",' she said. 'This one word decides if your relationship will thrive or fail... And if this is missing so is your future.' The concept draws from the way penguins offer pebbles to potential mates as a sign of affection. In the human dating world, it translates to those micro-moments that might seem insignificant but are actually quietly monumental. 'They might reference something you said two weeks ago,' Louanne continued. 'They send you an article or a song because it reminded them of you. They grab your favourite snack without being asked. They call after an important appointment.' These moments, are what Louanne stated, aren't just thoughtful, they're powerful. They're signs of attention, effort, and intentionality. And they're what separates someone who's emotionally invested from someone who's simply enjoying the ride. While consistency is often cited as a key trait in a healthy relationship, Louanne argued that real consistency isn't just about replying to texts or showing up on time. 'Because real consistency doesn't just mean following through on what you say or texting good morning. It's about how someone shows up.' And when it comes to showing up, pebbling might just be the ultimate relationship litmus test. 'If they're not pebbling, they're not building,' Louanne warned. 'And no amount of charm or attraction will change that.' Her followers were quick to praise the insight, with many admitting they'd never heard of the term but instantly recognised the behaviour - or the absence of it - in their own relationships. So, next time you're analysing your partner's texts or trying to decode their behaviour, it might be worth zooming in on the little things instead. Are they pebbling, or just passing time? Because according to this dating expert, that could be the difference between a relationship that fizzles, and one that actually lasts. Louanne, who is a qualified matchmaker and coach from Perth, Western Australia, has also revealed a lesser-known trick which she claims makes you instantly more attractive. She claims the 'AT20 Eye Contact Rule' (Around-the-Target 20 per cent) will make you 'ten times more attractive' in conversations. She said you should maintain direct eye contact for 20 per cent of the conversation then subtly shift your gaze around the rest of the face. 'If you stare too much, it can feel intense, creepy, or confrontational. If you avoid eye contact, you come across as nervous, uninterested, or lacking confidence,' Louanne explained on Instagram. 'But when you balance eye contact with subtle shifts - to their lips, cheekbones, or forehead - it creates a sense of natural intrigue and chemistry. 'Most people don't realise how small shifts in body language can completely change how they're perceived. If you want to create effortless chemistry and attraction in real-life interactions.' Louanne said the tactic is 'backed by psychology' and works by 'creating mystery', 'mimicking romantic subconscious cues' and 'feeling natural'. 'Slightly breaking eye contact at key moments makes them want to pull you back in,' she wrote.
