Kangaroo

Welcome back to 'Rise and Shine Australia'

and pull on your budgie smugglers

'cause Sydney's favourite weatherman

is taking us to Bondi Beach.

I'm Chris Masterman

and this is

'Rise and Shine Australia' weather.

That's right, folks.

Today I'll be bringing you the weather

live from Bondi Beach

where I'll be following a group of lifeguards

to find out exactly what makes a true hero tick.

Isn't that right, guys?

Guys?

No. Don't you dare.

Don't you...

And welcome to Bondi.

I guess that's back to wardrobe for me

and, uh, back to you in the studio.

Uh...

And... out.

Great. Hey, thanks so much, guys.

OK. That was...

- Did that work? - Let's pick it up

from the sound end for the regional report, yeah?

OK. No, I don't want anything. Hey, Liz. Liz.

Hang on. Liz. Wait up.

Uh...

Is it tr...

Is it true that Ted's looking for

a new host for 'Rise and Shine'?

Oh, you know I can't discuss that.

Yeah, I know that. I know that. But come on.

I think... I think he's looking for someone

who's into current affairs.

I can do that.

Ask me anything. The capital of any country.

Denmark.

The capital of any country that speaks English.

Canada.

OK. That's a terrible example, but come on!

I've been doing the weather for six years.

I'm sick of being the guy that gets water dumped on him.

Chris, that was your idea.

No, Pants Off Friday was my idea.

- The wet T-shirt was... - Look, do you know what?

You want to be host and you want to be noticed by Ted,

show him that there is more to you than just... this.

Right. OK. Got it.

More what?

Come on, get the ball, Lachlan!

Yes, yes! Here, here, here!

- Casper! Get it! - Go, go, go!

- Pass it here! - Pass it!

Pass, pass, pass!

- Oi! Pass it here! Oi! Here! - Catch!

- Ready? - Go, Casper!

Yeah! Good one, Freddy!

Good kick, Freddy!

Hey, it's the new kid. What's her name again?

Charlie.

Could you kick us the ball?

Nice rat.

She's not a rat.

Whoa!

Whoa.

Come on, guys.

What's her problem anyways?

Has she moved here for good?

Casper, she just lost her dad.

You have to hide or Mum will freak out.

Thanks for letting me know.

You know who that was, eh?

Starts with 'S', rhymes with 'cool'.

Charlie, you can't keep wagging school.

The headmaster asked if we need to see a counsellor.

I mean, next thing

they're gonna be calling Child Services on me.

In case you haven't noticed,

I'm having a nervous breakdown here.

Maybe you should go call that counsellor, then.

I'm gonna have to put one of those eartags on you

like they do with kangaroos.

Have to catch me first.

So, as a weatherman,

I've been thrown into

a number of life-threatening situations,

so, yeah, I've had the word 'hero'

flung at me from time to time.

But you guys,

you're the real heroes.

Go on, tell us the secret, Jonesy.

Well, uh, I don't know if you'd call us heroes, but...

- What the...? - ..we just keep people safe.

- Is that a shark? - No, it's a dolphin.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah. It's a baby dolphin.

It's trapped in the pool.

I called them, Jonesy! ORCA are on their way!

Looks like a baby shark.

Here. Hold this. Phil, Phil, on me.

On me.

Chris, what are you doing?

Just keep following

on me!

Dude, dude, don't touch it!

Well, it's in trouble.

I can't just leave it there.

There's a reason they come into the beach.

Chris!

Mate, we've called ORCA. Get out of the water.

Not on my watch.

Get that dolphin out on the water.

Time to go home, mate!

It's going back out to sea!

Hey?

- He's free! Whoo! - Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

In a tragic twist

of the dolphin rescue yesterday,

the baby dolphin has been found dead on Bondi Beach.

Jonesy, what happened?

The dolphin swam in just to have a bit of a rest.

I told the weatherman not to touch it,

but he just wouldn't listen.

According to experts,

it had been suffering from a lung disease

and swam into the shallows for some much needed rest.

We've yet to hear from the Channel 6 network.

Might have known you'd blow it.

We just ignore it, right?

I don't want anyone talking to the press.

Yeah, I mean, it'll blow over in a day or two.

Right?

- Dolphin killer! - You should be locked up!

Well, I didn't know it was sick!

Move! Just move!

Why do they hate me? That dolphin...

- Made you a hero for 24 hours. - I was trying to help.

No, you were trying to go viral to get noticed by Ted.

Because you told me to get noticed.

I did and... and you did and... and it backfired

and I'm really sorry.

But maybe just see this as a blessing in disguise.

A chance to really think about your priorities.

My car!

I meant your life priorities.

Hey.

Just... take some time out.

Maybe just try listening to this.

Who knows, it might actually make you happy.

Now, just go, OK?

What do we want? Masto out!

When do we want it? Now!

Just give it a go, Charlie.

For me?

Come on, Freddy!

Hmm.

You're out. Out!

Everyone in the class! Hurry up!

Mate, it's Chris.

Look, I don't know if you've heard, but...

Oh, you have?

And I know I said no to anything regional,

but I've been thinking a lot about it and I...

Oh, you did.

And Channel 9 has always been the goal, so...

Fine. So, that's a definite no or...?

OK.

You are awesome.

You deserve your fame.

In the midst of chaos, there is also...

Yeah?

Chris, Joel Warberton here.

Warberton Productions.

And they don't mind that I... I kind of...

No, no, no, no. That'll blow over in a couple of weeks.

That's fine.

Good-looking Aussie guy that loves the outdoors...

You're exactly what they want.

We've been trying to find someone like you for ages.

And now...

Now?

Well, now we can afford you.

Look, um, Sydney's an amazing...

an amazing place to work...

We're thinking Broome.

I love Broome.

Yeah, I actually grew up in WA.

I... I own a Chevy Corvette. It was my dad's.

And, uh, in my 20s, we drove it up the coast.

Even better.

Drive it over there, we'll feature it in the show.

Stick it on the billboard.

- Yeah. - Yeah?

'Masto's World'.

'Masto's... World'.

And by the time you get over there, we'll have the money.

We'll see you in Broome.

Um, my name is Shauna.
