Karl Stefanovic left in stitches as Aaron Woods honours nude swim bet at Bondi Beach on live TV
Karl Stefanovic isn't lost for words often - but the Channel 9 identity was speechless on Friday morning after former footy star Aaron Woods honoured a nude swim bet at Bondi Beach on live TV.
Woods entered the ocean in his birthday suit - a brave feat in the middle of winter - and then accidently revealed his manhood to viewers in shocking scenes.
Stefanovic, co-host Sarah Abo and Danika Mason - who was at Bondi Beach with Woods - couldn't believe what unfolded.
'No! Don't show it!,' Abo pleaded, as Woods lapped up his moment.
Mason then became the star of the show with a one-liner for the ages, labelling it 'the smallest sporting event I've seen.'
'I hope I get a Logie for this,' she added.
Woods later appeared on Today again, thankfully fully clothed.
'I'm feeling good, it was good fun,' the former NSW Blues prop said.

'It was a long run, it was like 'when is this water going to get closer'.'
Woods also honoured the bet - despite NSW Premier Chris Minns warning the act was illegal.
Minns himself is involved in a series-long bet with his Queensland counterpart David Crisafulli, in which the loser will appear in an advertising campaign for the other state.
The Origin decider is at Accor Stadium in Sydney on July 9.

Teenager Konstas not out to prove himself ahead of West Indies return
June 21 (Reuters) - Teenage batter Sam Konstas has vowed to take a more conventional approach than in his early test appearances for Australia after earning a recall to the team that will face the West Indies in the two nations' first test in Bridgetown from Wednesday. The 19-year-old has been drafted into the side to replace opener Marnus Labuschagne, having made headlines with his outlandish shot selection and rapid scoring during his debut against India in Melbourne in the Boxing Day test. "I still can't believe it," Konstas told Australian media when asked about his swashbuckling introduction to test cricket. "I don't know what was going through my mind at that time. I thought it was right in the moment. It was good fun. "The emotions probably got to me with the crowd. It was good reflecting and having a bit of time off, trying to strengthen my game. Hopefully we get to win the next test match. "I feel like I trust people that I work with and they understand my game. I'm not trying to prove to anyone how I'm going to play. I just want to be myself and obviously understand when to take the game on." Konstas hit 60 runs in his debut innings and kept his place for the following test in Sydney as the Australians wrapped up a 3-1 series win over Virat Kohli and company. He was included in the squad that travelled for a two-test series against Sri Lanka later in January, but was not selected for either match. Konstas has earned a recall for the three-test series in the Caribbean due to Labuschagne's struggles with the bat, while Josh Inglis has also been recalled as a result of a finger injury sustained by Steve Smith. "Obviously, it's a tough team to crack and (they have) got legends of the game in that team," Konstas said. "Very excited for the opportunity, and hopefully I can grab it with both hands. "I've been training really hard and I understand the reasons why they picked (other players in recent tests). "I'm just trying to be in the present moment, trying to focus on a few key areas with my batting coach, and feel like I've come a long way. Hopefully, I can display that in the next few test matches. "It's a dream come true, to be honest. Nineteen years old, playing for your country, travelling the world, getting to experience different cultures and against the best players as well. I'm lucky to be where I am."

Drama in Darwin as V8 Supercars is marred by TWO crashes just 15 seconds into the race
Broc Feeney has extended his lead at the top of the Supercars standings, holding onto pole position to win a crash-filled first race of the Darwin Triple Crown. The Triple Eight speedster's third consecutive win opened up his championship gap over teammate Will Brown to 107 points, keeping his cool despite the chaos unfolding behind him on Saturday. Feeney held off Tickford's Cam Waters at the opening turn and remained in front until the end. Waters opted to change all four tyres in his compulsory pit stop, sacrificing time off the track in the hope his fresher tyres would give him a speed boost to haul down Feeney later in the race. While he closed the gap to 1.7 seconds, it was not enough to haul down the 22-year-old, even with a clutch issue hampering his drive. 'It was super stressful. I didn't know how it was going to go,' he told Fox Sports. 'But it was awesome fun. Cam chasing me down, it was super hard out there. Hot, stressing, I had lots of stuff going in my head. 'I bloody love coming to Darwin, so stoked to win here.' It's Feeney's fourth race win at the venue, having won both races in 2024. It took just one turn for the first big shunt of the race to bring out the safety car. Wheel contact from James Golding fired Jaxon Evans into the barrier at the exit of turn one at high speed, dislodging his front left wheel and ruling his car out of the rest of the day's action. Thankfully, Evans walked away from the incident unscathed, except for a slightly sore foot. There was more drama straight off the restart. The grid was pinched together as drivers jostled for position on the 1.1km-long straight; at one point cars were five-wide as braking ahead squeezed the available space on the track. ABSOLUTE CHAOS ON THE SAFETY CAR RESTART! We're under control of the bp Ultimate Safety Car once more! #RepcoSC #Supercars — Supercars (@supercars) June 21, 2025 Broc Feeney escaped the carnage to claim victory in his Red Bull Ampol Racing Chevrolet Camaro Contact amid the cramped conditions sent Jack Le Broq into the wall, losing his front-left wheel, and seconds later a tangle between Nick Percat and Richie Stanaway on turn five left the PremiAir Racing man with heavy damage. Meanwhile, Ryan Wood's Ford Mustang lost power and emerged immobile out of the chaos. Walkinshaw Andretti United later revealed his car had suffered engine failure and was in doubt to start in race 18. We had to wait until lap 12 for the first green lap of the race. Off the second restart, Brodie Kostecki bumped past Matt Payne on the inside of turn one to move into third position and was handed a five-second penalty as a result. Payne eventually finished in third, while Brown managed to close six spots to finish in eighth after failing to make the top 10 earlier for both races. Hometown hero Bryce Fullwood narrowly missed out on a podium, finishing four seconds behind Payne in fourth. Feeney will start from pole position again in the second 120km race of the day, which kicks off at 3.40pm (AEST).

The heartbreaking reality of these images as Hawthorn celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its famous threepeat
Hawthorn's golden era was honoured on Friday night, but one iconic name was missing from the celebrations. The club's famous threepeat team - premiers in 2013, 2014 and 2015 - reunited at Melbourne Town Hall to mark 10 years since their historic run. It was a night of laughter, stories, and old teammates reconnecting - except one. Cyril Rioli, the four-time premiership hero and 2015 Norm Smith Medallist, did not attend. When Hawthorn posted photos from the event, fans were quick to spot the painful detail. 'Where's Cyril?' one asked. Another posted a single tear emoji and the comment : 'Wish Cyril would go.' The rift between Rioli and Hawthorn remains unresolved, despite fans' hopes for healing. In 2022, Rioli became the lead plaintiff in a high-profile racial discrimination claim against the club. That matter has since been settled, with the club issuing an apology and the plaintiffs receiving an undisclosed financial settlement. But Rioli has remained distant from Hawthorn - and his absence on Friday confirmed the depth of that separation. Former captain Luke Hodge, who played alongside Rioli for a decade, has tried repeatedly to reconnect. 'We left on really good terms,' Hodge said on Channel 7's The Agenda Setters. 'When he retired, he sent me a message saying 'thanks for all the development and all the help'.' Premiership-winning coach Alastair Clarkson was another big name absentee, as he was busy preparing North Melbourne for their clash against Carlton on Saturday Yet even mentors from Hawthorn's famous forward line haven't been able to reach him. 'It's almost like he's parted ways with everyone there,' Hodge said. Rioli didn't attend Hawthorn's centenary match in May either. But he was spotted later that month, smiling at TIO Stadium as Gold Coast played Hawthorn during Sir Doug Nicholls Round. The moment was broadcast live as Rioli stood to cheer a Suns goal. 'He had a fair smile on his face when Gold Coast kicked that goal,' Hodge noted on commentary. At full-time, Hodge made his way to the stands for a brief chat with his former teammate. 'It was just good to see him looking happy,' he said. Rioli's cousin, Daniel, now plays for the Suns and spoke after the game. 'I didn't see him or have had any contact with him yet,' Daniel said. 'But it's good to see him out here still watching the footy. I love him.' Hawthorn fans clearly feel the same way. 'Where is Cyril? We miss you a lot!' one fan wrote. Another added: 'Cyril will never come back. It's sad.' There is still a sense of deep respect and reverence for Rioli's brilliance. From his six-goal, 12-tackle performance in 2011, to his match-winning birthday goal against Sydney in 2016, Rioli created moments that will never be forgotten. But as the club's stars gathered for one more toast to greatness, the absence of their most electric player couldn't be ignored.
