• 2:19
  Speaker 2: she's going to be a botender me okay, yeah, and
• 2:27

  Speaker 2: because like Fergie whatever, But yeah, it was just OG crew.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Will I am that other guy? We but we all
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: bonded because two of them were half Asian and that's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: how we bonded. O Ye, that was a little Lizzie trivia.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: We're back. It's going to be back. Obviously. There's so
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: many tournaments happening at all times, and we cover them all.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: You know. We've been traveling doing comedy around the country.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I was in Sydney last week.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: How was that?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It was good? But to take it back to tennis,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I played a tennis match and a paddle or padel match. Oh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you did a bit of pedal on the same day.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Whoa? And how did your brain handle that?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: My brain was fine, but my weird little legs were not. Oh,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I was sore.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So which is hotter on the legs? I would assume paddle.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I think it was well, it was paddle because I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: played that second. But the match I played first in
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: tennis was a guy who's never taken a set off me,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and he's been taking lessons and he kept hitting me up.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He's like, when are you going to be in Sydney?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You gotta let me know. And he had gotten better,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: but I was still up six three six three five
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: zero when he decided to start cheatingeating.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: A cheating skin.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: At that point, I was like, what are you doing? Man?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: This is like the match is over. I hit a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: match point because we said we'll do best of five
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and he it was clearly in and then he hits
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it into the net and so I win the match.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And then once his shot went into the net, he goes, oh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: your ball was out?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: What to late?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: My friend, That's what I said. I was like, you
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: can't do that retrospective out.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The delayed out call is ridiculous, you know, Yeah, that's ridiculous.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And then it got in my head and he won
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: two games, so I still, you know, close out the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: one six two. But I was fuming at the audacity.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Did I thought?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Anyway?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Head rolls noticing some psychological patterns.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It is mental warfare out there. But our producer E
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Roll has implied that I am a mental little person.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Like your legs.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They're actually long and quite nice. And if I was
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a lady, I.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Know, I'm jealous of them. I got these short little stumpies.
• 5:14

  Speaker 2: Now really he's getting in a head.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Ah right, Well, the did you watch any of Gatar
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Gatar guitar. A lot of the players got thirsty and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: had Gatar raise guitar to the chop ar.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It was well, it was I love the footage coming
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: out of guitar.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It was an awesome tournament.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I mean watching all these other tournaments besides the Australian,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm seeing the promotion that they do for them,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and I'm thinking, we gotta go harder next year.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Because you saw the fishing expedition.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I saw them fishing millionaires going on a humble fishing trip,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: pretending to be the old days, and they're out there
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: just cous playing fishermen. Were they like pajama bottoms song Alcoraz.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were all wearing little matching out fits.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Were having the best time. Yeah, just fishing, having a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: fun time.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: So you're saying next year for the AO, we should
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: be doing deep sea fishing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: No, I'm piggan. We're going pigan.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get we be pigging, pigging.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go out in the outback.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Do you shoot pigs? Yeah?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We're gonna take a real Australian stole.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: All right, so you heard it here first, we be
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: pigging next year.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's quite gruesome, though, is it?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Have you done it?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: No?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But I've always wanted to. Okay, yeah, don't keep anyone's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: out there in the regions that wants to take a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: small Asian woman. She is up for it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep calling a qatar. A lot of
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the matches in the lead up were amazing and one
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of my favorites early on in the tournament Medvedev losing
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to sits a pass. Not a great match by any means,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but are you aware of the history between these two
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: not Really do yourself a favor and watch highlights of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Medvedev sits a pass.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I can see how would be Yeah.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Because sits a pass, you know, he really rubs Medvedev
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the wrong way. And like two of my favorite quotes
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: from Medvedev about sits a pass to his face or
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to a chair umpire where sits a bask can clearly
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: hear what he's saying. He said he called him a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: small kid that doesn't know how to fight, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and he's like, how you say small kid doesn't know
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: how to fight and so sits a Pass is just
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: like taking it all in. And then from years ago,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I believe it was in Miami, Uh, sits a Pass
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was taking his time like long delays, long bathroom breaks,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Medvedev slowly losing his mind, and then he confronted him
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: about it at the net at the end of the match,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and sits Apasz just told him, you know, you better
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: stop talking whatever, and then Mevedev said, man, you better
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: shut your fuck up. To this day, I would just
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I just would love to tell someone to shut their
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: fuck up.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: He's so good to me.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: One of the best matches out of guitar was Karen
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Kashanov versus al Karaz. Kashanov absolutely redlining his game you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: want to set, which you know, Carlos has just been
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: stop all year and this watched the highlights from that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: If you didn't get to see the match, it was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: hard because with the time difference in Australia and with
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the Olympics on YEA doing a lot of bub slid
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and then the Alcoraz like route to the final. He
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was just handily beating most players. The Karen Kashanov match
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: was super solid, but every player took an opportunity at
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the net at the end of the match to because
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they love him. Everyone loves Carlos. He's real, he's a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: lovable guy, real protagonist energy, you know, he's just a joker,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: always smiling, star of the show.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So when he beat Arthur rinder Kinnek, the frenchman at
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the net said one time, you'll let me win. Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Carlos was like, yeah, sure.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Whatever, Okay, buddy, did you see what I just did that?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And another player said I'll come for you and Yennick
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: don't worry someday. And then it's like Algoraz of course,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: laughing his face, He's like, oh yeah, yeah, but surely
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: they kind of their competitive streak, they they mean it
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit, O mean yeah yeah yeah. And then Karen,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it's always weird saying Karen that this huge honky Russian
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: guy's first name is Karen.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: To the manager, he said, you never get tired, You
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: never do one time get tired, please.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Just one time, like desperate little please exactly.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: So but and okay, I'll ask you this is sinner.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: He lost to our good friend of the show, yaka Mensik. Yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: another great match. He beat Sinner huge, massive, and we
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: had him in here during the Australian Open.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember his interview.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It was right after he kind of flew in late
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: because he just played.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: The all right New Zealand. Yes he won.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: He had just won against Sebastian Baiez, so he.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Had a couple of days.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: He had a couple of days, so it was great.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He was great. I mean, beating Sinner, especially on hard court,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: is no small feet. Yeah, because Sinner had won twenty
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: two of the last twenty three matches that he played,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and that one that he lost was against Djokovic at
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the Australian Open. And then Mensik doing this is huge.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But it's also like kind of just reminds you how
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: dominant Sinner's been because what it's so good, what it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: such a huge deal that he's lost a match. Uh,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And then Mensik went on to lose in his next match,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I know.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Do you think he was just like I'll take this
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: win and I think yeah, or maybe he was tired,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe it really to get out of him.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I think that happens, especially if you beat a top
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: ten player and a guy that's been that dominant like,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you just you've peaked a little bit and then yeah,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: your energy sapped or whatever. You just like just can't
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: maintain that level, and so he went out in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: next match. But is it now annoying if Sinner or
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Alcoraz gets knocked out of a tournament early because you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: just want to see those two guys in the final.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's annoying.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: No, you can't.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: You want to see other people win, Yeah, because then
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the competition is greater overall.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I think maybe storylines had Mensa gone on to play
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the final, but when Sinner goes out, well then you're like, oh,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: who's it going to be in the final? It turned
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: out to be Arthur Fez.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Who beaten in fifty minutes.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: That's outrageous. Yeah, we do comedy shows for longer.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, Yeah, fifty minutes would be so
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: it's so quick.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Other news from the tournament in Kattar Alcoraz showing
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: some rare emotion outside of just being happy and having
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a good time. Okay, I think we got a point.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: He got real upset getting a time violation. Oh Spanish, yeah, yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: this is his hero's fault.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he was he was close to the line.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Nadal was always close, very close to the line.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Nadal's pre serve routine was one of the most elaborate, elaborate,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: frustrating things to watch outside of Jokovic bouncing the ball
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a million times. Nadal picking a wedgie is yeah, fringe,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: but he go knows post weggie pick?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true, it's the wrong order, that's the wrong order.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you doing?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Reggie pick better anddies?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah? That's like what if you draw yourself when you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: get out of the shower. If you start low and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: then go high.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta start with the face.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You start high, go low, start I go low.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Good hygiene people coming for tennis today, but you're getting
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: hygiene and pop culture.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Anyways, Alcaz pissed off with time violation. I just really
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: think he was kind of getting frustrated in the match,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and then he just wanted something to complain about, to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: blow off some steam.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably he wanted a bit of excitement. Maybe yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: winning too easily.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: But it's the clock I think is is really you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you got to look at it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It looks surprised.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what me? So that was Qatar. I don't believe
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of the big guys are playing in Dubai.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of them are going to the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: States for the swing over there.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so everyone missus Dubai, like the women.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: The women just played Dubai and they pulled out and drove.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: This was crazy, right, Yeah, Like obviously it's happening there.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Don't they treat you very well over there? But like
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: they boiled, like so many pulled out in even like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: mid tournament. Yeah, yeah, I'm not feeling it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's already if you think about the tennis season,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: so kicking all the smaller tournaments and then leading into
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the Australian Open, and then they're over there, there's a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: tournament immediately if you want to play the two fifties
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: and the five hundreds, and I think Dubai, it's the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Middle East. It's crazy hot. Yeah there, it's a lot
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of it's played during the day, and then they're just
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: already kind of tapping out and they're like, well, I
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: could totally apply myself here, save it for Indian wells Miami.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: So I think that you're already starting to see the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: fatigue setting in by Dubai. And it was like I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: mean sixteen withdrawls, so it didn't even play in the tournament.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And that was Big Gun, Sable, Anca, Schavan, tek Osaka,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Three walkovers, So that's retiring before their match
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: even start. Katchikova our front of the show, Kazakina uh
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: for retirement so mid match, Podosa being probably the the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and Rebecca being the big ones there. So yeah, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: think it's just a thing where it's they're just sapped
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: already at this point. And you might see it in
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the men's playing Dubai this.

• 19:51
  Speaker 1: by Jess Pagoula and straight set the show show, Jpeg
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: won that tournament. She beats f Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I love Svidina too.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Another front of the show.

  Speaker 2: Another front of the show. I really want to see
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Vidolina like win a real big slam, a slam.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I think he maybe Wimbledon.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, I want to put money on that.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: No, but I want to put it in my prediction okay, yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: which I'm going to release in the coming weeks.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, So Cliffhanger Lizzy's predictions.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Wait for it. She just looks good.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I think she was cooked by the final because she
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: played that epic against Cocoa Golf which like I want
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to say, the middle tie break was like fifteen thirteen, yeah,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and so what over three hours? And yeah, and Pagola
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: is consistent and just yeah, she's strong, been in so
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: many semifinals, like just in the past year and then
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: has one another tournament last year and then this one
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is a big one. So Jess Jpeg as we call her,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: she beats Fidalina, but you heard it from Lizzie Spidealina
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is going to win Wimbledon, so she'll be back and
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: strong for that. One thing that came out of Dubai
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that I found interesting was Alexandra Iola of the Philippines.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, such a sensation.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The Taylor's Swift of tennis. Yeah, huge, packing out stadiums
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: all around the world. And tournament directors are what do
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: they do well? They're on top? They know this, Yeah,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I guess which I feel like the Australian Open was
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: maybe caught off guard a little bit. But what she loses.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: She was beat by Cocoa Golf and then Coco is
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: apologizing to her legions of fans, going I'm sorry, you know,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and she Coco killed her like six oh six two.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: But Yolla is now going to get wild cards for life, Oh.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: For sure, appearance fees, wild gods she's in Is that fair? Wow?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: She's bringing the people. Yeah, and it's bringing like a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: whole new audience to tennis as well.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I think it's cool.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, get the wild card. You don't want sport
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to be merit based.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I want it to be all about socials. Howe many
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: followers you have that that dictates your ranking? Yeah, it
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: is a little bit sad like that one.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But I mean it's it is. It's a business. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: if you're getting people through the door and she's packing
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: out stadiums and stuff, and Coco said, when they're chanting
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: for Yalla, she just pretended like they're chanting for her.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's got to be annoying.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as if you're a player and there's like ninety
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: percent of the people there to watch the other person.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, far out. There was also a hardcore tournament in Florida,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Delray Beach.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Delray Beach sounds fun.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: It is fun. I've been there, have you. It's real
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: just surfy, cruising, laid back. You know, it's Florida.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So this is Kelly Slay to country.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Well, California is more Kelly slid but at all Florida
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: is he. I could be wrong, Yeah, I don't know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: but I do know that it was the battle of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the fellow American.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: People, he's crazy.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So Delray Beach was won by Sebastian Corda and straight sets.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: That just happened, and it was like the wind was
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: wreaking havoc and I think Corda handled it a little better.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: And yeah, they're good friends. But uh yeah, Sebastian Corda
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: is good to see him back and form. He's got
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a crazy background of the pedigree on him, elite athletes.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, I know.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of the Goldstein.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I was like, I wish I came from like a
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: real sporting pedigree, and I had no choice but to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: do sports, continue the legacy.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: You kind of do your sporting. Your brother's teaching.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Paddles, teaching paddles, some slum.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: And Delray Beach the match before Sebastian Corda obviously won
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: before the final. And I don't know if you saw
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: this postmatch interview, but the interviewer stumbled on her words, you've.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Played Flavio three times and you've had success with him
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: all three times.

  Speaker 1: This is what you need people around you saying no
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to things I reckon.

  Speaker 4: like one one week in the advance. Yeah, of course
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: it has some some pros and cones, but yeah, I
• 32:44
