• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I know.

• 2:01
  Speaker 1: ball at your back.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Well, he was a meed to like get your shirt off,

• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Don't want to take my shirt off, Pat Rafter, whatever

• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I love I.

  Speaker 2: Love Saffin, I mean Safin was. He had movie star
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: like energy and he's enormous and we're off we're into it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Show coming up today, Mike oh Huge email us at
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: pod labor at tennis dot com dot au suggestions thoughts. Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: we've been getting heaps of feedback. I do want to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: at some point our sound guy, our camera guy, our
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: favorite the aceman. He's having a bad day.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: He's having a bad day because I met him yesterday
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and it was like such a there was like a
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: glow of warmth around him and he welcomed me in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I'm so excited. And then today there's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: something notably different.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We've had people using the podcast studio and does he
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: have to work He has to work with them as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and they're invading our space. You know, he takes it personally.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He doesn't like it. He's territory.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He's territory. Before you asked him to do the levels
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and he.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Was I know, he was so of fat, not like
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that at all. But he did this, what I think
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is kind of a crazy thing. And he went through
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and read every single comment we've gotten on the pod
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: so far. Yeah, across all platforms or is that just YouTube?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: No wonder He's in a bad movie.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's like you can't read the comments, mate, It's like
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: these are people that just they don't want to say
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: nice things? Should I give you the gist because he
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: sent it through and thanks Ace Man, appreciate that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: No, he summed it up for everybody. I woke up
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to this, he goes, I read through all the comments
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: from all the episodes and then he put it in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: bullet points and he said, some are skipping only to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the player interviews.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so that's actually quite constructive feedback.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hurtful, but sure I wouldn't have known that otherwise
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we'll skip the next one because it's it's problematic. Generally
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: people love the show, but if you find it cringe, well,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you're always going to lose a few. Yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I always think if every if you're trying to make
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: everyone like it, then you know no one's going to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: like it. Yeah, so it's got to be for some people.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: If you aim for the middle, you'll land up in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the middle and you don't want them. We want to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be the best, to the top, somewhere near the top.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: We're not going to be the top.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Let's be the top dogs of Australian Open Tennis podcast.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I think of all the comedy podcasts at the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Australian Open that are broadcast by The Australian Open were
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the top. Yeah, we're in the conversation. Yeah, definitely, thank you.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They love the singing introductions. That's great. So we're we're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: going to be doing that for every episode forever. I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: love it though, I love that like it. Yeah, this
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: is good. They love to see how players are all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: just themselves in front of the camera. But that is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: what it's all about, isn't it. And I like to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: attribute that to my interview capabilities. I don't think bring
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: up the best.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think you should put too much, give yourself
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: too much kidding.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Me talking to Naomi Osaka has been called the Frost
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Nixon of Australia. They like the loose nature of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: show and then one comment someone did not like us
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: doing Italian accents. I think I did a Spanish one yesterday. Hopefully,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: hopefully that's okay. Well, as always, we are brought to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you by Piper Hide, Sick Champagne Fantastic. Oh, slurp it
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: up and slurp it down.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely the official tagline slip it up, slip it down,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Pimer Hide, Sick Twist.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: The script yeah, should we get into the tennis. Let's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: do it. We went into Rod Labor. We had the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: best seats in the house.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Now we did have the best seats in the house,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and was this is this just where you get to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: sit at all times? Because we went Wait, I don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: know if we went as colleagual friends. I couldn't work
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that out. Last night I was thinking about that when
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we're watching the tennis.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of column, a bit of Colin b
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We were there too, were sports journalists. Now not true,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we're there to report on all the action, but the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: seats were Channel nine. Yes, we went and sat there
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and right behind the players, like I think Eagleshavantek's was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: her player's box was right in front of the ego.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It was actually you saw me kind of get giddy
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: when she came out because she was like three meters
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: away from it, and I was like, oh my god,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Like it's interesting looking in their eyes when they're like
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: out there and see you were you were staring well,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I was kind of quite captivated.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: She is she has an order. There is an ura.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I was just saying before, like I've been a fan
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of watched and then when you see the relentlessness, like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: she is destroying sweet Mattie out there.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Well, so Maddy English who got through to this round
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: when Naomi Osaka pulled out of the last round. So
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the great Australian hope in the women's side of the draw,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Maddy English who came through qualifiers. It's a great effort,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: had a ton of tennis to get there and then
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to be in the second week. But then facing you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: former world number one Eagle Shavantek just won a bunch
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of slams totally and it was it was a SmackDown.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: It was just like you could feel that sense the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: match started, you know, a full house, Rod Labor, primetime
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: world number two. It's like the tension is just in
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the air and just she was rattled I think early on.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: But I did like when she finally won a game.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: She broke at the start of the second st.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Baggled in the first set, yea, and it was any
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: any rally more than four shots. It was like Eagle
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was going to win the rond. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: no question.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And Maddie would often put like, you know, hit like
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: probably you know, her best groundstroke and then just see
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it coming back with heat on it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was it. And then she when she
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: broke at the top of the second set, huge cheer.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Well you could only maybe describe them as almost like
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Bronx cheers, really like they were, but she played up.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I quite liked this.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: She liked into the crowd, put her hands up in
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the air and being like, Yo, yeah, I did it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I broke. Yeah. It was sick in the back of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: her mind. She's got to be like, I'm making almost
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: half a mill just being.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think they are no. Wow, But wouldn't you
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: just think that before? I mean, of course on paper,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: like if someone was like, can you go out there
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and embarrassed? And I'm saying she embarrassed herself. She did
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: very well, but like, if you're going to lose but
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you still get half a million dollars, of course you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: do it. But I think you know, these players are
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: competitive powerhouses. They're not thinking that. They're not thinking of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the money. They're just like, I want to win.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I just want to win. Well, I was thinking of
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the money, You're just like I was. I could do
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: an extension on my house. Yeah. So unfortunately Maddy english
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: out in straight Sin's the eaglesh Vontek but what a run.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely the All American matchup Jess Pagoula versus Madison Keys
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Madisons and Keys was the reigning champ coming in and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: she went out. But they're good friends and they had
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the wager that the what Madison's Keys would eat the pie?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: A apple pie with cheese on it. Yeah, if she lost,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a bet is a bet, So I'll do it. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: hope it's less gross than I think it's gonna be,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: but we will find out.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I guess she was like, mine's worse. I was like,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: what are you talking about? Like, my family owns the Bills,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Like this team has owned us in the postseason Like
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: that absolutely not, that's way worse. Wearing the Chiefs jersey.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: She's like all she has to do is just I'm like, yeah,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: she just just to eat a piece of pie, Like what,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: like is the big deal? So yeah, I think that
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: was some really some extra motivation because that would have
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: been a tough moment for me.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: But can I ask you a question as an American?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Is that not just like an American? Could you know
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Americans have whet breads? Yeah, that's what I mean, Like,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: isn't that just something you'd eat normally. Yeah, you go
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to a waffle house and that's on the menu.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Something that's a healthy breakfast. Yeah, yeah, apples, it's perfect.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That's how you get through thoughts at the tennis That's perfect.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: And then the if Pagola laws, she was gonna have
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to wear a Kansas City Chiefs T shirt, which I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: find hurtful as a punishment and as a diehard Kansas
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: City Chiefs fan. But Pagola's parents own the Buffalo Bills,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs have been the band of their existence, and.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: So all fairly, it's yeah, they're fun, fun, kind of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: little wages to have.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Would you eat apple pie with cheese on it? Yeah? Like, well,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: if I, you know, lost a bed, of course I would. Well, yeah,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I think you have to do it right now.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I organized, Oh fantastic apple right, Yeah, you know what
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I would I tell you if I lose a bed
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: or just you know, want to keep hanging out and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: keep my accreditation.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Path. Were you wondering what this was at the end
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of the table.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: No, I just thought Aceman had like he's having a
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: crappy day. I thought he just had left food there
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: or something, And I was like, maybe he hasn't eaten.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna do it. We're going to get
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you to buy you're not going to eat it. I'm
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: on a no sugar thing, man, I'm.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Legitimately legitimately lactose in tolerance, are you Yeah, I'm going
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to do it and you can see yeah, but can
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I I don't know how this has been prepared. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: feel like you might put the apple pie in the
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: oven and melt the cheese on top.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: This is also a craft single on a.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Don't don'tno crafting? Are they sponsoring the Australian They could be.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: At least of sponsors are crazy. You don't want to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: get anyone into.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll break my diet, the no sugar diet,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: for one bite of apple pie. I'm going that big
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: all right, here we go. My cheese. My cheese is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: falling off. Okay, I mean the listeners love hearing our
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: there's ship.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I mean the listeners love that love skipping towards the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: player interviews must be riveted right now, two guys, we
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: don't care about it all eating a.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Treat we never want to eat. Look, it's not that bad.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You can't really taste the cheese. No, the apple really dominates. Well,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I don't like it though. That's a dry apple pie.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Though they really, they really, our producer really did a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: number on us.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: It sucks my as someone who's like, it's intolerant. I'm
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: now going to have a horrific afternoon. I didn't even
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: get to enjoy the cheese because the apple masked the
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: cheese at least to be a bit of cheese.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Oh see, I think the if anything, the apple pie
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is the highlight. The cheese is drags. It couldn't taste
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the cheese. No, you go take a bigger break. I've
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: eaten more cheese than you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: And other matches well that we were there for. We
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: watched Casper Rude, The Rude play Ben Shelton, and.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: You have a little crush on Ben Shelton. I do
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: have a little crush on yeah, or Ryan Shelton, as
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend refers to we met. I'm like, do you
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: mean the Australian comedian Ryan Shelton from Andy Yeah.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, imagine Ryan Shelton versus Casper Rude. I would watch that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: That's a hell of a game. And that's a hell
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of a game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I'll be yelling out in that one.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he got it, and that sets up Shelton
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: versus Cinner and pretty sure they played last year and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: someone can fact check this. And I think Cinner like
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: took it out to too and two, so it could
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: be a good one. Yeah, I think matchup wise, Shelton
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't love it. Cinner is going to pick on his backhand.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It's it's sinna not match fit though I don't know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: It's whispers going around, yeah from one friend. I know
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that I ran into that, watched him win in the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: straight sets and he goes. I don't think Sinner's one
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: hundred per okay, So this was so now I'm bringing
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: this to official media to try to get the rumor going. Well,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: he won in straight sets, but they thought he didn't
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: look at his best, right, I think he limped home
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: if he can limp home in a three sets thrashing.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Well, this was two Italians playing each other, but Darderry
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: had more support.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: From the Italians to the crowd, so the other Italians
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: were really getting behind him, which is interesting. I don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: know it's because well, I mean, I guess it is
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: quite split, right the South and the North. They don't
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: you know there's a traditional rivalry there.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, I got to brush up on my Italian.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, there's different languages, they're dialects. I mean
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Sina speaks German. He's from right up the top.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I feel like it was a real kind of insight

  Speaker 2: the sidelines. He can come back, make a run for
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: he's got to. If he's going to do it, it's
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: going to be very tough.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: This is yeah, because he's got to go through Mazzetti
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: now who took out Fritz and Straight then Sinner, then Center,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: then al Choraz. But if Sinner, okay, if Sinner's note speculating,

• 15:18
  Speaker 1: nine in one record against Mazzetti. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: but Mazzetti, Oh what what do we look? Mazzetti played,

  Speaker 1: Fritz got through and straight so looked awesome. Fritz was
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: dealing with some tendonitis and other issues, and he was like, yeah, man,

• 15:33
  Speaker 2: He walked down the hall and he looked directly at me. Yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: and you know what I thought. I thought he's a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: fan of the pod. Yeah, even though it was my
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: first day on the pod.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Well, like he was in here and he was like, yeah, man,
• 15:45

  Speaker 1: Back, dude. Yeah, I said, sir, but I tend to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it is, bro, and it was tender not this is
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: nothing to joke. I'm not saying it is.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I had tended notice in my shoulder one. So it
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: was the worst year of my life. I'm only recovering now,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well this is all about you. It's not about me.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just be nice to your fellow countrymen. I am okay.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But Mazzetti, in his post match interview talked to Jim
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Courier and brought up his head to head with Novak Djokovic.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: It's Novak Djokovic is your next opponent.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So what do you think about that challenge in the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: quarterfinals in a couple of days time.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, uh, Novaka, we played many, many times,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: and every time it's it's a lesson first of all.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: And uh and uh, you know, it's such an honor
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: to share the cord against him every time, you know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: I leave the court with the with something. Yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Does he get given a gift? Yeah, Novak gives a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: nice little uh from Pandora. Oh beautiful.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Its gotta be a nice touch if every time Novak
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: beats someone he then gave it put a gift in
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: their locker room.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: It's a power you played the king. Deal with it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: But it's a kiss of death. It is a kiss
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of death.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think he's talking about learning a lesson,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: is he or is he talking about a worse career
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: record potentially?
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's nine and one against Djokovic. Yeah, so
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: they head to head's not great.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: But well they say you learn more in defeat than victory.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Oh so yeah, I guess nine times he's learned something, Yeah,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: and only one time put it into practice.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's is that kind of self defeating even
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: before the match starts? Or is he thinking, no one
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: beats Lorenzo Mazzetti ten times? Yeah, no one does.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Good ego, don't bother bring the gift this time, Novak
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: he gets Novaka gift. Yeah, he puts a little mecha
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: gift pack in Novak Sokker. Enjoy that when you're wallowing
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in your straight sets misery.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Ah, just quickly. In the other matches we haven't touched
• 17:56
