Luxury car enthusiast Karl Stefanovic takes a cheeky dig at his Today co-host Jayne Azzopardi for driving a Mazda
During the breakfast show, Karl and Jayne interviewed four Mazda car salesmen who have gone viral online after posting clips of themselves dancing erotically in order to get more people to the car dealership.
After the men reenacted the dancing video, Karl cooled off Jayne with a fan, teasing her for finding the sexy clip online while 'researching'.
'Of all the stories in the world...' he quipped.
'I'm a mum! I became a mum and I bought a Mazda,' Jayne told Karl, who retorted: 'Oh mums don't like sexy stuff?'

She went on to say she found the clip because it was Mazda, not because of the sexy dancing.
'Oh, you want a Mazda?' Karl asked his co-host as he lowered his eyebrows.
'No, I drive one already,' she told him.
The host then quipped: 'Oh, well you've gotta get a new one now!'
In 2023, Karl took a cheeky swipe at co-host Sarah Abo, 39, after she was pictured driving her trusty Toyota Corolla around Sydney.
The two were discussing a novelty race for banged-up old cars when Karl alluded to the paparazzi photos published by Daily Mail Australia.
'[Check out] this colourful convoy of crappy cars,' he began.
'Talking about crappy cars, wait until you see what Sarah was driving around yesterday when she was paparazzied [sic] driving around her new home town.'

'It's a beauty!' he added with a chuckle.
Sarah swiftly defended herself, telling luxury car enthusiast Karl: 'There's nothing wrong with a Toyota!'
'I didn't say there was,' he replied sheepishly.
Karl used to drive around in a $180,000 Mercedes-Benz and was once seen in the driver's seat of a $300,000 vintage Land Rover.
He also made headlines in 2017 after he test drove a $163,000 silver Mercedes and was spotted in $295,000 AMG Benz Coupe in the same week.
At the time, Karl was often spotted cruising around town in his white Mercedes, but had been seen in three newer vehicles in the space of a week.

NSW spending $1.5m on literary hub to rival Melbourne's Wheeler Centre and boost Sydney Writers festival
Sydney's literati is about to get what Melbourne has had for more than decade – a rival to the Wheeler Centre that established the southern city's Unesco-endorsed reputation as the literary and publishing capital of Australia. On Sunday, the New South Wales arts minister, John Graham, announced the establishment of a dedicated literature hub, to be based out of the state's public library, as is Melbourne's Wheeler Centre. The new hub, with initial funding of $1.5m from the state government, will mean Sydney Writers festival events will take place all year round – 75 literary events over the next 12 months. 'There's nothing like a festival in terms of the intensity and the sheer numbers of fantastic things that are on,' the creative director of the Sydney Writers festival, Ann Mossop, told the Guardian. 'But this will be a little taste of the festival almost every week,' Mossop said. The year-long calendar will draw from Australia's deep literary talent pool and include appearances by international authors. 'We've had a situation in Sydney where … really, there are missed opportunities. We have fantastic books released by Australian authors … we also have amazing people coming to Australia for other events or festivals … but we haven't been able to take advantage of their visits,' Mossop said. The full program will be announced on 14 August, with the first events kicking off in September. Stella prize winner Michelle de Kretser, Burial Rites author Hannah Kent, the former Australian Greens leader Bob Brown, and Pulitzer-nominated The Atlantic journalist Sophie Gilbert have been confirmed. The program will aim to deliver timely, engaging content that captures local and international literary voices, using a global literary exchange network and nurturing emerging Australian talent. Sign up: AU Breaking News email Graham said the hub would provide an inclusive and accessible platform for NSW's diverse communities, 'amplifying underrepresented voices and strengthening the connection between writers and readers'. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion The recently refurbished 344-seat auditorium underneath the historic Mitchell Library reading room will be the headquarters for many of the program's events, although Mossop said she expected free and family events to spread out across other library venues and elsewhere. 'The partnership recognises the role libraries play as the homes for readers and writers, and the great contribution that writers festivals play in taking what is quite a solitary act – reading – and transforming it into community experience,' Graham said in a statement. 'This $1.5m investment into a year-around program will benefit us all, strengthening the cultural heartbeat of our city, creating a home for readers and writers – a place for discussion, ideas, reflection, discovery.'

The moment I knew: he arranged a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation
I grew up in the bush, and in 1966, as soon as I was old enough, I ran off and joined the navy. I loved the job and was having a ball. Three years in I was offered a rare opportunity to train for a top-secret role at a base in Queensland. Me and the two other girls were to be deployed to Singapore 12 weeks later. That was before my radio broke down. One afternoon, midway through my stay in Queensland, I had some issues with my electronics and called for a technician. I'd expected to get my radio repaired and get on with the day, but then the most gorgeous guy I'd ever seen walked right in and changed the course of my life. John was as cool as a cucumber as he got to work and I was struck dumb, just in awe of this incredibly handsome man. I didn't know how I was going to get him to notice me, but I was determined. A few days later there was a social evening at the base. It was casino themed and I spent the night following John around, making sure I was always in his eyeline. It wasn't the most sophisticated tactic, but it worked. By the end of the evening he'd asked me out. Our first date was seeing Johnny (as he was then) Farnham sing at Lennon's hotel in Toowoomba and it was perfect. We stole as many nights out together as we could over the next six weeks and I was going more and more gaga by the day. As my time at the base came to an end I still wasn't sure if John was as swept away by our romance as me. He always played it so cool. As we approached my last night, he arranged a getaway at Noosa to go surfing together and a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation. Somewhere in the middle of the night he asked casually: 'What would you say if I asked you to marry me?' If this was a hypothetical question, he had no hope of getting out of it. I flew right off the bed, jumped on top of him and yelled at the top of my lungs: 'Yes, yes, yes!' I didn't give it a second thought. We set the wedding date for October – just a few months later – and I had to request a discharge from the forces; back then women couldn't serve if they were married. The whole time I was back down south John wrote me letters – 30 in all. I still have them. They were so full of love and adoration and excitement about the future we were going to have together. It was like living in a dream. Then it was time for him to drive the 1,700-odd kilometres to Menindee, where I was from – a tiny, one-horse town on the Darling River and 100km out of Broken Hill. As his little red Datsun came up the dirt road, my stomach lurched. For the briefest second I was seized by uncertainty. I couldn't even remember how tall he was. But the moment he stepped out of the car, I fell into his arms and those worries dissolved. The love I felt for him was so overwhelming. I knew this was going to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so smitten with John, there's no doubt we rushed into things. We really knew nothing about each other. It turns out we're exact opposites, but are such a wonderful foil for each other's personalities. I think my lively nature has kept him interested all these years, while his calmness has kept me grounded. Our first child lived for just half an hour, and while it isn't always the case, that terrible time really brought us closer together. When our son and daughter arrived safely in the coming years, I felt like the luckiest mum in the world. At a time when not all husbands were so supportive, John encouraged my desire to study to become a teacher. And just like always, once I knew he had faith in me, I felt I could do anything. To this day I wonder about how I knew, or if it was just amazing luck. But either way I've been married to the love of my life for over 55 years, so my instincts weren't bad. He's still just as gorgeous to me today as he was that afternoon in 1969. Being with John has always felt to me like living under a lucky star – everything seems to work out just how it's supposed to. Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share?

Irish rugby legend Ronan O'Gara gets POOED ON live on Sky Sports after Lions' epic comeback win over Australia
RONAN O'GARA was given an unwelcome gift by a bird while LIVE on air. Irish rugby legend O'Gara was working as a pundit for Sky Sports during the British and Irish Lions clash with Australia earlier today. 5 5 5 5 5 However, a winged viewer flying by decided that the 48-year-old's coat needed some extra decoration. And while he stood alongside colleagues discussing Hugo Keenan's last-gasp winning try, Will Greenwood spotted that O'Gara had been POOED on. He said: "Oh a bird has just pooed on Ronan." The group then shared a laugh at O'Gara's expense as he frantically tried to find where Greenwood had pointed it out. A voice can then be heard saying: "That's lucky for some but not for Ronan." Fans behind the panel also poked fun at O'Gara for the unfortunate incident. Greenwood then adds: "La Rochelle are going to win the European Cup." O'Gara eventually laughs off the incident, though we expect his coat to receive some TLC to remove the poo. And while the unusual present might not be seen as too lucky by O'Gara, the Lions certainly did find some luck in their match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. They moved 2-0 over Australia in the series, but only after coming back from 26-17 down in the 53rd minute. Keenan's late winner has now set the scene for a potential clean sweep when the sides clash again at the weekend.
