  Speaker 1: If you are driving your car and you are waiting
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for pedestrians and if one of them is slowly ambling
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: along and looking at their phone, yeah, you should be
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: able to hit them with your car.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: How much of your car can you hit them with,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: like like you're not speed in the middle, like a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: tap on the side, like the nudge. Yeah I support
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: that one. Yeah yeah, I think running over them and
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: probably killing them is a touch too far.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm saying nudge, nudge, carnudge, A carnudge could still you know,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: do a little bit.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Well, the carnadge really rocks you back into kind of
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: like oh, well, I'm back into reality. True, You're like, oh,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I've got to get off my phone. Yeah, are you
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: then yelling get off your phone?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Nudge? And then they look up and they're probably you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: combative and upset, and you're like, well, this is the law.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I can nudge you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a free nue.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But then I guess at the police they're to kind of,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I guess, determine the strength and the severity of the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: nudge because there it's going to be, as with anything,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: there's going to be people that kind of take it
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: too far. And people are gonna nudge too much. Oh
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you know, there'll be someone that like over nudge. Well,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: they'll be on their hands free, on their phone and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they just want to nudge, so they're just nudging. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you're like, well, I don't think the nudge was warranted.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Then there's a nice nudge zone that we can all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: agree on, I think so, yeah, which is just like
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a push a push.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm saying the police would someone there has
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to be someone who's kind of going to enforce.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Mediate that, yeah of course. Yeah, but okay, I have
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: one level up from the nudge. Okay. I had this
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: happen where I thought I saw a free car space
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and a packed car park right, couldn't find it, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: like driving around forever. Yeah, I think I see the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: free car space. Pull up. There's a guy standing in
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the car space and he says, oh, no, I'm saving
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this space. In that instance, you can hit them full speed.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Should be perfect.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Tis no way.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Bia had a birthday twenty five, Oh yeah, yeah, which
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: is terrified. Really, he's got a lot more, a lot
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: more to give he does.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: As long as the knee injury isn't serious.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Well that's it anyway, I made a present for him.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I've written, you know, I do a bit of poetry. Oh,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I do like slam poetry sometimes sam poetry, sam poetry.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: There's a few like little kind of unmarked warehouses in Brunswick.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I head down to and yeah, we kind of all
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: smoke a pipe.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And oh the long cigarettes and people yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of black trench coats and then we kind
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of just spit bars.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I guess about truth.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Wow, okay, you're ready.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there once was a man named Jick Sinner who
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: truthfully couldn't get much thinner. He's turned one year older,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and provided the weather is colder, he'll probably always be
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the winner.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That was beautiful, do you I don't think.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, there's no need to cry, Mike, I can see
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it to you. Well, I kind of didn't. I don't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: think I landed the ending.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think it's slam poetry? Is there's they're doing
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the cadence of there once was a Man from Nantucket?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. That's all I do is basically yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know everyone's talking about so you know, it's a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: celebration week for him. He didn't interview this week, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: he was asked a question that I know journalists tennis
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: journalists like us have been too afraid to ask him
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: for too long.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Is the Nick Sinner Irish?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Everyone asked me that I could potentially be a little bit,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: you know. I I had me with my red hair.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Everyone says that I'm Irish, So yeah, I think it
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: has a compliment, you know, so in in a good spirit.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: I certainly don't look like like the classic Italian, but
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I feel one hundred percent of Italian.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Wow, he does look Irish.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He couldn't be more Irish, but it doesn't matter because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he feels Italian. I like the takeaway that his brother
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is his best friend.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: That's beautiful stuff.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I have one brother three years older than me. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: call him also the best friend.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: What it's like, What are the old of all the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: people he could have met in the world. He's best
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Friend's going to be the guy that he shared a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: room with.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Man, that's like people who meet their soulmates in high school.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Look around. Yeah, there's so many other people
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I know. Imagine if you were still with the person
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you hooked up with in high school. Yeah, I mean,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I would love to. I don't even know what my
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: gym teacher is up to. No, he does look very Irish.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You could see him in one of those flat brim caps,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: like I know Peggy Blinders is British, but like Birmingham.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You could see that he looks like he's gone through
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the potato famine. He's very skinny.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, moving, God, it is our fiftieth episode.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: There once was a podcast called uh Arena and my
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: God was it. You should have seen her?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Seen her? Yeah, our biggest fan was Tina Arena.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, but then arena with the arena.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Well, one's a name, one's a stadium.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: God, we would get locked out of my slam poetry
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: meet up with this kind of stuff. What fifty episodes?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Fifty episodes? Look at us? I mean that is quite
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: an achieve And people said we wouldn't get past two
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: or three. And here we are the Big five. Oh,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the Big five.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, how what are some of your your memories?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: That'spring to mind? Some great moments.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Medvedev being so embarrassed and not liking us at all.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I think his manager didn't like I didn't like it more.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Medvedev had a good time, but the manager wanted us
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to lose it, and we did lose it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: That quote that was weird, Yeah, guys, that was weird. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: lose that. Hey, that's great stuff.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: No, obviously playing ping pong with the greats Ben Shelton
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hitting me in the back with a ping pong ball
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as hard as he could. I believe I still have
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a scar to this. Yeah, it's been the best man Like,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it is dream job stuff and I'm a big you know,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: tennis freaks.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Goes to another fifty more, Hey, fifty more.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That should take us through the Australian Open twenty twenty seven,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: which we are super pumped for, and we are of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: course missing a huge part of pod labor arena, Lizzie,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: who is still in Edinburgh.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: In Edinburgh, she just sent us a video from like
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: seemingly a nightclub.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's like in a full rave and for some
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: reason then Tennis the Cincinnati opened playing in the background
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of a rave and she's just filming it on her phone.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with no like, She's just like just sent us
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that with no like, yeah, being like hope it's gone well, tennis,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you guys, tennis just her brain working on just the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: most minimum capacity of all time. Well, Dennis, I know
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: people tennis and then sends it to us.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I imagine at in Edinburgh nightclub, your brain would be
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you know, at.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Half a copy too. Well, she's running on it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: When she saw tennis, and she did make the correlation
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that we are involved. It's impressed associated.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's impressive sport. So yeah, she'll be back very soon.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: She will be back very soon.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it's a shame she's not here to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: celebrate the fiftieth. We do have big news in the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: other racket, sport world or should I say paddle sport.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, it's been a big week in this country
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: for paddle, for paddle, I better call it paddle ball.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It's just paddles, just paddle. And I think if.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You're maybe pretentious you say padel, well.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: You do sometimes, And maybe this is an insight to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: how my algorithm sees me. My phone really wants to
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: auto correct it to paddel all the.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Time, but it's still spelled same.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Well, puts an accent on the either because baddel yeah
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: like that, yeah, but it automatically changes it to it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Right. It's like people who correct you if you say
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: soccer and they're like it's football.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is that now paddle Well I do that to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: people as well, so I guess I should talk correcting
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: people to do paddel. But a big week for paddel.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: You probably saw it on social media. Just there's celebrities,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: there's influencers out in force, all playing in beautiful Sydney harbor.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: The weather's out. We didn't get the invite, we.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Didn't get the call up, no, but we had our
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: own celebrities, well, Victor.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: We went down to I think an equally beautiful scenic
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: backdrop of Richmond Ikea and then in front of it
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: there's some gorgeous paddle courts and we we took on
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the great man Eryl on the ones and twos.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: E roll, our producer who brought his.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Well he kind of brought in the big guns.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, oh, this guy was a junior tennis champion.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Well he said world rank, world ranks, which is not.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Sitting at around one thousands or something.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Oh one thousand, but we're probably at about a thousand,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: aren't we.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty million, yeah, which is nice just to be
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in the conversation.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And if you're in the top what seven billion people
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in there with thirty millions.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Pretty good. That's not bad, thanks, Errol. That's not bad
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, but we look, it was a great match.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: People are saying up there with the twenty twelve Australian
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Open between Djokovic and Nadal, Well yeah, maybe fed Nadal.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Which are you.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Talking about when you and I teamed up together.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you look you at a slow start.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: That's obviously not the point I wanted to talk about.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I was going to talk about our chemistry and how
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: we were able to get it done.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to make you a better player through
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: tough love. Yeah, so I don't know.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And Eryl can attest to this, and Errol bought Gareth,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: who was very positive and has a professional tennis background.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: But he also when he showed up twenty minutes late
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and then still wanted to warm up, and then he goes, well,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: just to let you guys know, like I'm pretty that
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: is good. Yeah yeah, and he was okay.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I respected then kind of hustling then being
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: like the complayable and then you're like, well, what are
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you doing? That's even lamer. He was just like, no,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I can play, it's good, but I needed more support
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: from you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know if you.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Noticed, but there was a direct correlation between when I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: played my best paddle or padel and you were saying
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: positive things. When you would say I believe in you,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, that's when I performed the best yet.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I know that was hard for you, but I needed
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: more of that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Not hard for me. It's just I didn't get much
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: opportunity to say it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Because that seems that's ramatically unfair. There were moments when
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I was I was in fine form, very fine form,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: but I would just lose it, and that's when I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: needed you.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: There was a reaction shot from you that was probably
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the shot of the day.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Whereas the shot of the best shot anyone's.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Ever seen it. Well, it would have made highlight reels
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the world over.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: It would have gone into that top twenty million ranking.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Gareth went up to put away an easy overhead, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you were standing in No Man's Land for as you love,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: like you could like just set up amp and No
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Man's Land and lived there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Well, whatever I'm hoping, you know, it's like find your niche.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: There's no one in no mental land I'm hoping if
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I'm there I'll be the star.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Sam's Land from there. And it's like you just like
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: held your paddle up like almost in self defense, and
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the smash went off your paddle clean.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Into the paddle. It was just one of the the
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: shot of the shot of a lifetime.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Shot the lifetime. And that's why, that's.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Why No Man's Land is sometimes the spot to be
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: prompt in your Google Maps next time you're out there
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: on the court.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: But I just bought a new can of padle balls,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: which seemingly to me is just dead tennis balls.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's like leave tennis balls out in the rain
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: for a weekend. Bang, you got their perfect pedal.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And I have never played in any match of any
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: racket sport ever where so many balls ended up miles
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: away from the court, were putting on launched out of
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the stadium, like everyone was probably guilty of it. But
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we're talking like the balls ending up in new zip codes.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like losing ball losing but like I think you,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: we had to steal another ball at one point, we
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: had to play the last head of the game. Yeah
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: with one ball.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're just like because there's you know, dogs
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: running around in the kind of grass area outside and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: we're like, it's theirs.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, yeah it was. I mean it did. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: thought it was a good training ground. So when we
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: do get the invite to the Influencer.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Pedel game, we'll be able.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: To stay humble and remember where we came from because
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: it was you know, we're out there with the people,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and then one day we'll get to Sydney Harbor and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: then we'll be able to show off our skills. Yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: my body was definitely sore, definitely.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: We I'm glad we didn't call it at ninety minutes
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: because that was the booking. But then there's no one
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: came on to kick us off court, so that's the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Rallies were way better when we like.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: When you're getting it for free.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Well, well yeah, I think so. And we stayed on
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and it was good and you guys started to play better. Like, look,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I was still clearly you know, the best on the day.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if you were. I think garrethon, No,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I think Errol, what do you think?
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: What?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: No way, I think Arreth was better. No, yeah, just.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Because you guys were setting him up with meatballs all day.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, look I was, I'm an observer, I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: also paying attention, trying to learn, trying to get better.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: But you know, he there was also a bit more
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: positivity coming from him, and I think maybe that maybe
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: affects my opinion or my review of the day.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I thought you were fantastic and showed a lot of promise.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: That dark cloud above you slowly lifting.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: How was the body earl? Did you pull up all right?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I skipped doms and went straight into Riga Mortons.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: That's a fun way to do it. Well, maybe maybe
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it's not for us this game.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Well, to bring it back to tennis, the Australian tennis
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: great Pat Rafter was at the paddle tournament without us, and.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I thought, like, we met Pat and I thought we
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: got along. Maybe he could have brought us in there. No,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: just know, does the AO not have any pool with
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: this paddle torn and get us there to Sydney Harbor.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I think they organized it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Everyone in the world's nearly playing and as this sport grows,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: especially in Australia, the next six years, we're going to
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: see it explode. No, I agree with him.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna it is going to take off.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And when I remember being in South America and
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: everyone going to play paddle.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so big, so big, so big.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The cinematography and that clip is crazy. It looks
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: so good.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: It looks it makes it seem appealing, doesn't It was.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: That directed by Chris Nolan because like he's just framed perfectly.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: There's the harbor of the bail.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: He actually invented paddle, and then there was a time
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: he went back in time. I went forward in time,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: but it was also back and then he told himself
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the idea of paddle. Oh he was behind the bookshelf
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: for the whole time.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's like pickleball, but with squash wolves you
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: either die a tennis hero or live long enough to promote.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: To cash out on paddles. Now back to the well,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: not back, but there was a lot of real tennis
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: this week going on.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: We are doing the big wrap up of Canada, the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Canadian Open, which covers Toronto and Montreal.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you about that. And I
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: know they switch between the two each year, right, so
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the men's drawing and the female draw Why is it?
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Why don't they just playing in the one city because
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I would hate that if they did that. To the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Australian Open. If they split it up, it's like so
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Sydney gets one and then Melbourne gets the other and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: they swap every year.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I kind of like it. It's a look, it's a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Master's one thousand event. And then you know, obviously Montreal
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and Toronto huge cities on that time in Canada. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: then it's it's just nice. You get the men's tour
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: ones yere, you get the women's tour. It's good.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: But it wouldn't be nice here though. For the Australian Open.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: No, but they're not going to do it for a
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Grand Slam. That would be absolutely nuts.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: But I mean, like, I mean, it would be the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Mecca still wouldn't be visited as much if it was
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the men's only drawl.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But I mean, we'll get into it. But Nakashima throwing
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: shade at Toronto in his post match interview. Yeah, he
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you know, lost to Ben Shelton in the final and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: then he goes, you know, I love it here in
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Montreal all so much better Toronto. It's no good.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: The uh, the support you guys give to the tournament
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: and all the players, it's really unlike anything else. And
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, I really really enjoy here in
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Montreal more than more than Toronto. Fortunately, uh, we'll be
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: back in Toronto next year. But but I love.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: It's like doing one of those It's like Sidney Melbourne jokes.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Isn't that big of a rivalry there between the two
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: because I thought culturally they were. They kind of didn't
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: even like they're not even in the same conversation like that,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: because Montreal is very French and then Toronto is like
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: quite American.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I got an NBA team for god's sake.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, true, and a baseball But it is like
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: when a rock band comes to town, they're like, we
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: were just in Sydney and they said Melbourne doesn't know
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: how to rock, and then exactly, let's prove them wrong. Well,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and then Shelton got booed when he goes look, I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: like Toronto as well, and they're.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Like, boo, that's kind of rule.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it does Toronto remember it next year when
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Nakashima plays there and they're like, oh, we remember you
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: It's a genius. Yeah, it's a forward, it's a forward, primo.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: It's actually the art of broadcasting it's like very clever.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: He's just getting in for the stop next year. Yeah,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: and I mean, yeah, I guess. I guess it makes
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: sense because I mean he also lost in straight sets,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: so I guess you got to look he's very quickly
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: looking at the future.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally. But I love this from him because, look,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's the best tenants he's played. I think
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: he's in form I think we have a ton of
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: American players in the second week of the US Open
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: in a few weeks time. But Nakashim has always been
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: kind of an unknown in terms of not you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: just for what he portrays himself as to the media,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not a huge personality. Yeah, but look at this. Look
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: at this man throwing sha oh at a whole city.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: So you like it?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I love it, And you know, I'm loving watching him
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: play at the moment. Just the cleanest game, precision serving.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: How about this American All American final in Canada. Yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I guess you've got to feel as an American, are
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you excited for the US Open coming up?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying. And three of the four
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: semi finalists were American because he had TN and Hodar
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: on the other side.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Right, The problem is, I guess none of them are
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: at that like top upper echelon of like could win,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: but like, surely someone has a run and then the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: New York crowd gets behind it and then you have
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: some epic, like big crowd moments, like surely at least
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: one of them can pop.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Well, judging by Shelton's form, it's looking like him. I mean,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Fritz's knee, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: surely with Tienne Fritz Shelton, maybe Tommy Paul needs to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: find some form. I love tp you know he's the best.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: But I think there's gonna be a lot of American
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: men and American women in the second week of the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: US and there's gonna be some crazy matches.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Is there a world where you could, as Americans, like
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: start like a Kickstarter or something to fund his girlfriend
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: to make sure she's there.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I think Trinity and Rodman has enough money. Maybe she's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: probably got enough.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: She probably does have enough cash. But is there a
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: way that you could like make sure that she's there
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: to watch him play in the USO.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: If I started Kickstarter for Trinity Rodman, I'm absolutely embezzling
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: all that I haven't taken it all for myself.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's more like the publicity of like it'll
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: get a bit of traction. People will be like, oh,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: this is happening. She don't She probably won't even follow
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: up the money.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Unless it conflicts with her schedule.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: She would have to be there.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she's been showing up the tournament she does
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: show up to, he's been winning.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: That's what I mean. That's why you've got to get
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: him to get her there, right, you.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Got to get her there. I think Shelton like dominant
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: in this tournament. Didn't drop a set.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, so he didn't drop a set, so he played
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: very little tennis. So he's coming in very fresh. Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: also defended, so there's like good vibes. It's just like
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: it feels.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Like it's a tame Yeah.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Well it doesn't get kind of wiped in the early
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: round and have to play some big five setters, like
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: he could be fresh all the way through.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I think his biggest hurdle, especially if obvious center doesn't play,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: which we don't know yet, is going to be Zverev,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: who cleans up lefties. So yeah, he loves playing a lefty, so.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: He's yeah, great guy.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: M Yeah, I should say, before we get into more
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: of the tales of what happened in Canada, I had
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: a man on the ground.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Ground, I had a man on the ground.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: He's almost transformed completely.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: All that hard work we've been putting in.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Was that Aussie ground again, I had.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: A man on the ground. Now that's Southern.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: No, there's a case you know when I was at
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: your wedding in Hawaii speaking to like some of your oldest,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: like Kansas friends. Yeah, they were like something like one
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: of them was genuinely sad. They said. When I hear
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Mike sometimes I just hear the accent going and he's like,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: shut up. But I remember once we were having a
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: barbecue somewhere and you were like, should we just get
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: some snags? And I was like, look at this guy
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: is assimilated.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I've never said snags.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You said snags.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: No, I want stooped.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: He said Barbie, And he said snags.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: But I meant the Barbie dolls that I keep under
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: my bed.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, should get by. Yeah that was weirdly cool
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: with that as well. You were, yeah, so I have
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: a man on the ground Toronto.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who went to the tournament and his report back
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: This is a Tom Schaeffer, great friend also at the
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: wedding Jerman Ye yeah, yeah, lovely guy. So he lives
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: in Toronto and he got along to the tournament and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: he said grounds are very active, tons of games, challenges,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and so they've obviously taken that from the Australian Open model.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Players and coaches walking around the grounds to practice, lots
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of chances to snap picks and get autographs. So there's
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of access to the players. That sounds great. Yeah,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a little festival vibe. Practice courts are great to hang
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and watch them play, so casual. The outside courts are
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: smaller and really good. Large Filipino community came out and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: supported Yalla. Every match was a home game for her,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: same with Fernandez. Lots of support. She has a local
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: favorite and Osaka definitely a fan favorite as well. But
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: people have been complaining, especially on the men's side, that
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: it is too long now and it competes with Cincinnati
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and Washington, d c. For the US Open warm up.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Used to be only one week now twelve days.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: This is a huge it's a huge issue.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: And that was Mike's man on the ground. It was
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: it was that was Deller, and thank you, Thomas Schaeffer.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: You're for that.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: It's like a very detailed professional report. Well, I was like,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: this is insane.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I can't say what he called me at the end
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Actually kind of makes me want to go to a
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: tournament like the like the Canadian Open, because you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: it's it's almost like a full Grand Slam kind of
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: talent pool, yet it's going to be so much smaller,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: so like it's there isn't going to be like yeah exactly,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of like, I mean, it'd be a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: great tournament to kind of get along too, if you could.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It's a great, great report, I know, a fantastic report.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: We'll see if we can find every city, if we'll
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: find someone we know and then get them to go along.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mike's men on the ground, men and women on
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the ground. He needs anyone on the ground, please someone.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I mean talking about the I guess if there is
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: a negative, it's the scheduling and I guess we'll talk
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: more about the women's row later and the women's results later.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: But like literally the final was on the day that
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati started. Yeah, so like I mean, i I've thought
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: this a lot. But it's like the scheduling of being
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: a professional tennis player must be so stressful. I know
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: you would have someone doing it, but how you would
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: ever get into a normal routine, you know, like I
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: like to get up and do a bit of exercise, Yeah,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: make a coffee and try to do the same thing
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: every day. But how could you possibly do it as
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a tennis player.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And the travel would kill you. I mean,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I think there was that recent tweet from Sitzapaz who said,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you know, being a professional tennis player is ninety percent
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: airports and ten percent tennis, and like that were just
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: like getting I mean, is Shelton playing in Cincinnati? I'm
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: not even sure, but like the getting from.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: A Fronach she and she played the second her first
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: round the day after the final.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, It's insanity. Yeah, and from experience, so I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: know now Shelton is okay.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: So as we see the US Open trees done.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Well, that's got to be exhaustion, right.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you can't get off a plane and then like
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: your body would be like so.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, imagine how you felt after two hours of yeah, exactly.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: There was like maybe two rallies the whole.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Totally, and like credit wheres credits due? Like obviously, you
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: know Pedel is you know a bit more physically, you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: you know, you exert yourself.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: A bit more, let's be real.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: But I'm also not playing with the pressure of being
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a you know, a world ranked tennis player. So I'll
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: give credit with credits to there as well. So I mean,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know how.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: You couldn't even go to a ten minute spot at
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a comedy club that night, Like imagine she play another
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: one thousand event two days after winning the final.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like that great the Great? Is it the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: start of the Andre Agacy autobiography or maybe it's one
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: of the early chapters. He's just laying on the floor
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and start he can't to come on quarter zone him
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: to like just shock his body back to life so
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: we can go and play like that is just that's
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: no life worth living. And then if you're in airport's
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: a lot. It really does highlight how much of how
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: these are competitive psychopaths we're dealing with these players, true,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: but is.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: It the tournament's being greedy because they're like, we want
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the technical sales for more than seven days, and we
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: want the broadcasting to go.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess it's like it's actually, that's a really
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: good question, because there is a world where I guess
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you could condense the schedule so you then have more
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: of the top players all playing at the same places
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: and kind of competing against each other all but instead,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I guess you're right. The more people want to have
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: more tournaments, they want to spread the sponsorships around. So
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: then when you spread up, people have more choice of
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: where they go, and then you end up with kind
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: of weaker fields as well, because people are picking and
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: choosing what works best for them. Yeah, Whereas if you
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: had a more limited schedule, it would be like, you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: like the no one in the NFL is like Patrick
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Mahons isn't like, oh, I'll just play round thirteen and
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: they'll play round nine because that's it's me better. It's like, no,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: you gotta play every game because these are the games.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: These are the games. Yeah, yeah, obviously you know they
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: only play what sixteen.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: So totally, so it is different. But if you condensed
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: it slightly instead of having like you know, especially in
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the lead up to Grand Slams, when they're just like
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: overlapping tournaments warm up tournaments on the way through.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean full contact sports should have more limited.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Seasons obviously, yes, But my point is, if we're looking
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: at the scheduling.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: But maybe one of these tennis players gets nudged with
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the car because they're looking at their phone, and then
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they can take the next tournament.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: It would be Sabolanka for sure.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Because the nudge, you know, exceeded the maximum nudge with
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: too much of a nudge. Yeah, but Osaka's taken Cincinnati
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: off citing exhaustion after playing great in DC and then Toronto,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So I mean you can just go, ah, I'm too tired.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: You can.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: But also everyone seemingly is injured, like everyone's carrying injuries.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: It's like maybe there's just too much tennis going on.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: This point of the season.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: People are just dropping like flawed.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Pretty wrecked dude. And this is what I love about
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: seeing Shelton come into this form and then just dominate
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and you know, not dropping a set all the way
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: through Montreal. He backed it up. He's the first player
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: to win the Canada Open and consecutive years since Na
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Doll in twenty nineteen and not dropping a set. Djokovic
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: did that in twenty sixteen and the male player before that.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: If you get this right, I will be very proud
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of you. The nineteen ninety eight who did that in
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Didn't drop a set in nineteen ninety eight. Yeah, Sampras,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: no Agacye. You know, Errol pat Raft, Paddi Bulls. Oh
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: that's a god. That's good trivia, right, Yeah, that is good.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Do you like then going? I mean leaving Canada. I
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: know we've still got Cincinnati to get through.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I want to know if Sinner is playing.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I mean Alcoraz I think, you know, hasn't played in
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: so long that it's I don't see him as a
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: really a threat if he does show up.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: He's an ex tennis player at this point.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that you spoke sad man. I miss
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: him so much. And then I mean, I love that
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Hodaar is playing amazing. You know, we'll get into some
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Hodar controversy on the next episode. But for American men, yeah,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Shelton and but Vera, like I said, his mouth is
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: watering and he's you know.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: It's go time for him. He must be looking at
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: this as like this is a window in your career
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: where it's like, I don't know. It's almost like someone
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: above is like, hey, I've just opened the door, you
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: just have to walk through it. I've taken out the
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: kind of real people that are going to call you
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: play if you don't win. This is on you. Now.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Are you saying he's a Tanya Harding? I love her?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: If you're you can use you use Tonya Harding so often,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: which I like is a reference. Yeah, but you could, yes,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I would say so yes.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: But you're saying God is his Jeff Galuley.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, definitely, definitely, which is going to be harder to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: prosecute when they get to the bottom of it. I mean,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I'm being the big man on the stead.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: You're not hearing a Jeff Galuley reference on any other podcast.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And if you are, yeah, God, it's not it's not
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: going to be done with the same kind of swagger
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and delivery, all consistency.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing true true.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: If we could go with fifty episodes, surely it's like in.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Ten no do I bring it up all the time.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I've done three episodes where you've mentioned Tonya Harding.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I love it is a fantastic appreciate it. Great film.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I loved it sort at the cinema. Yeah, so I
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: gets fair if he's looking good. And then on the
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: women's side of the draw.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: In Canada, yeah, are going into the US?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I gets. I mean you could obviously.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: There's one bleeds into the other totally. Of course. I
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: think Osaka, you know, she's taken Cincinnati off. I think
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: that's a good move and she's playing awesome. I think
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: she just kind of lost focus and that loss to Rebeccaa.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I really thought Osaka was gonna win that match. It
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: was awesome, like it was a great match to watch,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: but Rebeccaa, you know, just kind of held her nerve
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: a little more in that last set and got through it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: And then obviously Rebecca made it through to the final
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: where she lost to Ega Chavon Tech.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Which is a good story.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exciting. It is exciting because Ega it looks
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: like twenty twenty two Ego where she's dominating. The movement
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: is amazing, just like the footwork. She's just unreal to
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: watch when she's playing like that, and.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: A baseball cap winning female professional player, that's what I
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: want to see. You love that, well, I'm just done.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I don't like the visors. Everyone's wearing visors. Will look
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: at the Hassler back. Yeah, I see a cap in
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: the on the women's circuit. It's exhilarating, sick, it's so good,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: it's so good.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I love seeing. I mean, I like the Sam Stowzer
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: style with the speed dealers.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Speed dealer, so I mean that is yeah, that's that's
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: top not Yeah.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, come on that with a hat.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Because I do like I mean, and rebeccaied, she's got
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the vis It's a very like. Don't get me wrong,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: great kit always always looks great. But I've just it
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: does seem very generic in the world of female tennis.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I want to see something different, and I feel like
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: the cap at the moment is nice.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the backwards cap.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: And the you don't see that very often in the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: female tennis. Well occasional Hewood style like cap backwards.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, occasionally you see it. I'm trying to think, who's
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the most famous player, but I occasionally you see a
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: backwards rule Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh Eagash Vontek
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: taking it out six two sixty three. Look, I think
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Rebeccaena was a little cooked after playing Osaka and Cocoa
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Golf and then also her match the night before again
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a scheduling problem went to one am and then you
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: got to back up range lace and then playing a
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: final the next day.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's very hard to She did look
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: good in parts of the of the final, but yeah,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think she just got run
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: over by Eger, but he looked good as well.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Her reaction at the end of that it was like
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a cathartic just overflow of emotion. Yeah, because I mean,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: being as famous as she is in Poland and dealing
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: with the Polish press who are like doubting her mental stability,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and there was so much going on there. So her
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: win was like a big kind of f you to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: anyone who's.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: A great article in The Guardian about the Polish press,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: and like how kind of like she'd had to have
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: this like sports psychologist now to like kind of get
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: her to deal with it, because like she couldn't go
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: go anywhere, and even if she's in Miami, the Polish
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: press are following her around.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: And it's like all old Polish men that are like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: kind of rude.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Well, she said, and she speaks to them as well.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: She's like, hey, has it and she's trying to be
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: it must be something cultural in Poland where she's like
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: very polite to them as well, and she's like, oh,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: could you please not follow me man, and the thing
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: is like it's insane.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: She was also apparently reading internet comments, which is crazy
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: at that level, Like I try not to read.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I read the ones about you. Yeah, yeah, you write
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the ones. Yeah, I write a lot of them, might
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: say them. I workshop them with other people and we
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: fire them out.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: She as apparently I don't know at that level again,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: reading the comments as wild, Like I read one of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: our comments when we want the video about the clip
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: with Cam Norri and saying he's yelling la playing fees
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: yeah French player, and then the comments are like these
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: guys have never watched a tennis match in their life.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Cameron norriy yells all as he's been doing it for years,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: but we said he yelled at playing the French player,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what's happened.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people just want to say mean things, and I
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: get it. It is fun to say mean things, yeah,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: but I think there's something different about like because paparazzi
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: is like old school. It's like old school fame, because
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: what are they following around to get a picture to
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: then send to like media outlets, which kind of boggles
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the mind to me that like, like she's that famous
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: that then what they send it to a Polish media
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: outlet and then they print it and everyone's like, oh
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: the news today.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Like even who's the most famous Australian athlete, Like I
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: don't know worldwide?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Donald Bradman, Donald?
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Well if you've got a photo of Donald
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Bradman now it is going to sell for a lot
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: of money. I think it's going to sell for a
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: lot of money. But do you know what I mean?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Like I do find it kind of like obviously, I mean,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a country not with you know, the history
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: of like great international sports stars as well, but like
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: it sounds like her life has been pretty miserable, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I think it also is like was she because a
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: lot of people were also being like she's cooked, she's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: done or whatever, but maybe she was just having a
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: hard time a little slug and then this media pressure
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: kind of like blew it out of out of propolis.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Of course, I want to dedicate this title to everyone
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: who is dealing with un for judgment and hate. Just
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: keep pushing, keep growing, keep focusing on yourself because you
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: know what's the best for you and always.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And then if you are, i mean just exalted in
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: a country and you're one of the most famous people there,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the pressure, of course gets to you. But she must
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: love being out of Poland and then not being able
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to walk around. But they're still following her around. Oh,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's it's it's yeah, it's I'll
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: start a kickstarter for Iaga Schwanta. Well that makes you happy.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I'd love you only have kicks out of this for
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: female tennis and.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: The girlfriends of male tennis players.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: He's such an amazing guy, such an amazing guy.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I love seeing Ega in form, especially this
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: late in the season. And uh, you know, I think
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: she makes a deep run at the US I think,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: you know, the clear pick for US for the US
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Open on the women's side. Even a few weeks ago,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: we were still seeing Sabolenca. But has that changed?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like it now. And I think the
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Time magazine cover that came out, she seems she seems
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: distant from from tennis right now. Yeah, I don't know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: they just seem to be like like in Canada.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: There, yeah, there she is.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Look at that. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: I'm liking what it's doing. I think it's great for
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: like at least it's interesting. And there's they're not doing
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: a cover of Verev, you know, or.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Why would he be on the cover of I don't.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Know, like his Golden Opportunity, the Tanya Harding style incident
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: he's going to cause. But like news Week, like I
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: just think, like in the women's draw you started, you've
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: seen some names kind of rise to the top at
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: the right time, so there's a bit of excitement happening.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: And Sablanca even doing that is kind of interesting. But
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: I would say, no, I was like liking before, but
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe we're backing up. What about Coco. I know
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: she hasn't won this year, Coco, it shouldn't have been
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: like coming into US Open as well.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, as long as her serve is consistent, which
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: is tough with Coco, but yeah, I think it has
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: been more consistent lately. And then I was surprised she'd
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: lost that match to Rebecca. Maybe it was the lateness
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: of it or again just exhaustion this time of the season.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: But Coco's won the US before, and obviously, you.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Know, being playing in New York, totally an.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: American player, and New York crowds behind it having been there,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a lot go absolutely nuts when there's an American player. Yeah,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: in a slightly obnoxious way. Who would have thought New.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: York American crowd. I've heard this about New York crowd.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's it for the Canadian Open twenty twenty six.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Ben Shelton and IgA Shavontek the winners. Roger Federal will
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: be happy because they're both sponsored by his shoe company On.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, that's a feel good story.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: That's great. You should start a Kickstarter for Roger. Roger.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want him to be happy. That's all I
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: really care about in this world, is like.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love that.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Roger happy is I think everyone wants that for him.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I don't even think he needs a shoe brand. He
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: surely has got enough money. He can just be a
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: happy guy.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: It's never enough for this.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: It's actually not, isn't it, Because they have a blessed life,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: these these Once you win a few slams and we
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: saw the joy of it getting to interview a bunch
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: during the Australian Open. They come out and they play
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: these like kind of just I don't know what even
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: what you call them, like exhibition matches. They're fantastic. All
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: these greats are all having a laugh. What a life.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: This is just hanging out. You do the hard work
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: and then you just coast from there on in anyway,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: speaking of coasting, it's time for my segment. All right,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: so here it is everyone's favorite segment, Approaching the neck
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Net aka Grand Sam. Yes, little bits and pieces I've
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: seen floating around in the tennis world. I'm watching every
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: match that I can. I'm deep in that Reddit forum
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: on tennis.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: And not according to the people who comment mean things on.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: The Austa Well where they know they don't. I've got
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: my back.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: If someone like accuses me of not watching tennis, it's like, no,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: it's a problem. I watch too much tennis.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: It's actually quite an offensive thing to say to you,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: because you've given your life for no reason. This is
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: the first time, Yeah, your whole like dedication to tennis
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: in your life is paid off because now you have
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: a job where you get to talk about tennis. But
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: if people say you don't know it, then it's like,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: why are you not sleeping so much of your life
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: getting up to watch tennis?
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Why are you not raising your child? Yeah?
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Why have so many relationships failed for you not to
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: know anything about tennis?
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: So I could watch you know, challengers that are happening
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: in Austria.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Witch. Oh wow, it's like you're insight the segment right now.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: So Joel Schwartzelo, no, wait, can you say his name
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: for me here, Mike Schwartz.
• 41:06

  Speaker 2: So Australian clip this for a real Schorchler Schwarzler. Now
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: he's playing in the challenger tournament. He's from Austria. Now
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: he got an altercation with the chair ump. Now you
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: watch these challenger tournaments, but I'm not sure if everyone does.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: But there's not like there's not the gravitas that comes
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: with you know, maybe playing in a grand slam on
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: center cord or something. It's kind of you're out in
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the open and it's kind of just you versus the world.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: He gets into an argument with the chair ump and
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: he finds a way, I guess to insult both of them,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: which is kind of kind of nice. Let's let's watch.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: It, not just on his side. Incredible.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: So if you had a shot clock on court, you
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: would have seen that there were not double zeros anytime there.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: He needs to be ready, and you know.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: For me, he was playing at a reasonable past.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Is the reason why you're a challenger, and there's a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: reason why I'm playing.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: On I mean, all time so good. It is kind
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: of like me arguing with my girlfriends, like I launch
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: into like some kind of criticism and as I'm saying it,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I realize that's too mean, and I'm like, I'm gonna
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: have to take myself down here as well.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Totally that's the only way. I mean, it's a good move.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: The reason why you don't remember to get the grocery
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: is because I didn't write the list that we both
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: need to get better as a group.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It rules, man, because yeah, he's he knows the comeback
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: is just he's setting up the insult back at him,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: and there's a reason you're a ref for you at
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: the Challenger And then knowing he goes, well, there's a
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: reason you're playing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, we
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: are both shit. Yeah, it is amazing.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: It's so good. It's like stabbing someone and then before
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: you get the chance for them to start, you just
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: take the knife and go, I'll just I'll make it.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: I'll just do it myself.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel bad about that.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Look ye, I guess it's like in his mind he's
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: like maybe he's like, I'll get out of the Challenger
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: circu one day.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're here forever. You're here forever. You're not
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: going to make it past. It's dude, like, if I'm
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: bombing at an open mic, I'm like, you know, i
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: turn on the crowd, but I'm like, oh no, you're
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: here and I'm here because we're bullshit.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: It reminds me of when I've done stand up on
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: cruise ships. Yeah, and gone quite badly and kind of
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: taking it out and being like, look are you guys
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: all at the buffet eating? It's like, you know, and
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: then I'm realizing I'm also dishing my plate up from
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: the buffett. Of course, we're all in it together. We're
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: all on the Challenger Tour.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Life is a Challenger tour.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I don't want to ride it all, not
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: long at all?
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: All.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Right now, Flavio called belly Koboli. Damn it called Boli Koboli.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Flavio Koboli. Now what's he doing here? Like? Is this
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: an American tradition? I've never seen have you seen this clip?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I've seen what happens, but it's like, I don't understand
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: So it's that a major league soccer game. What we
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: are seeing here is Flavio Koboli is pulling a sword
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: out of I guess what is. It's kind of like
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: a hot pile of stone, if that makes sense. There's
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: smoldering stone and rubble and the sword is seemingly stuck
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: in there and he just pulled it out.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: He's a chosen one.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: He's a chosen one. Yeah. And then people are like
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: cheering for this, are they?
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So I kind of like then in the stone
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: style ex caliber.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's a message about teen pregnancy. Always pull out.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: That's the main thing I'm running from that. Yeah, do
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: you think that's what it is? Is there some kind
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: of partnership going on between.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: The don't sleep with teenagers? Right? Okay the first place? Yeah? Right? Yeah.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: My rule is like, my rule is like, if there's
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: we've quit that one.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Errol, I want to see you crawl out of this. No.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: But do you think his manager was like, hey, do
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: you want to come hold a sword today?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: And would anyone in Cincinnati know who the hell? I
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: don't think so.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, It's not like it's not a big name, but
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: these things do happen. Sometimes You'll be at the football
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: and they'll be like, hey, to to kick a ball
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: at halftime? Is the one hundred and forty eighth ranked
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: golfer or something? And You're like, what the hell to
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: celebrate like some pro am or so? Do you know
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: what I mean? It's like the crossover levels are amazing sometimes.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Yet I couldn't even get a playing paddle in Sydney.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Is the hundred's Mike Goldstein?
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I'm going to take my sword and
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: go there next year, But why are they doing ex caliber?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: That's why I thought you might know it's some kind
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: of tradition. I think it must be something to do
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: with the Major League Soccer.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Clubs, the MLS. The yes, Cincinnati FC Cincinnati, so they've
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: gone with the football club Cincinnati, so they I can't
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: see they're called like the Nights or anything.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: So I, oh, do you know what's a better scenario
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: here that Flavio was like, I'll come out if I
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: can bring my sword. Yeah, and they were like really
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: and he's like that's the only way I'll do it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I've got a sword that I carry around.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Good for it.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Some guys are big sword guys. Oh yeah, I remember going.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: To They're also the same guys that own reptiles.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, and like have a deep collection
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: of Japanese anime, like it's all connected at once.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, oh bladesman blades.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: I went to Ray Badan's brother's house once and he
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: had a sword just in the corner. It's out, so
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: you walk in the first thing you see is a sword.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Well that's a self defense thing. Anyone breaks in, you're
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: gonna go full Highlander on him. A sword is awesome.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe the FC Cincinnati convinced Flavia that the FC stands
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: for a Flavio Kabli.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's pretty impressive. Yeah, that's I mean, that's marketing
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: crossover stuff right there.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: It's not bad.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Moving on now this, I don't have any footage of this,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: but this is a This is quite a fascinating story.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Terrence at Man, who we kind of a big fan
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: of here at this.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: We love that man.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: We're a big fan. We like kind of what he's about.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no no no no no.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: No a man. I mean, we like we like some
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: of his theories, we like some of the things he's saying.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: We like how he's not he's not tennis focus like
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: some of these single minded people out there on the tour.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: He's an out of the box thinker.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: He is an out of the box thinker. He's he's
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: also scared at the moment because he's had a very strange,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: maybe somewhat scary incident where a fan has given him
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: a bag, which I assume happens if you're a professional
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: tennis player. People are leaving your goodies all the time.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: But someone has put an air tag in it, which
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: is I'm going to say illegal. I don't think you're
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: allowed to do it. He takes the bag and then
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: the fan can track him and they keep turning up
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: at his hotel. Now I shouldn't laugh because this is
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I guess there's no the word for it, stalking and stalking.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: But this is also a guy who's you know, likes
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy, loves you know, like he's.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Got some crazy theories about it.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden you're getting tracked.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like that's not good. Did someone maybe
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: go to public exposing the truth.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just don't give him an air attag,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: do it like the government does and make us take vaccination?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Is that microchip exactly?
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Which is yeah, what they've done. But he strikes me
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: as someone that didn't get I don't know, but it is,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: it is. I think you're it's an interesting coincidence that
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: it is just him that this happens too. Yeah, And
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is what happens with the freethinkers. They
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: kind of get kind of tracked down, and it'll be
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: interesting to see what happens down the line. Maybe I'll
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: have more stuff coming out. Yeah, and he's been trying
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: to be silence.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: If someone did this to you, would you be like,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: that's kind of lattering. People want to know that. I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: just go to, you know, get donuts.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Jules has me on find my friends,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: so she often I'll be like, I'm on my way
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: home and she's like, your phone says you're going in
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: the opposite direction.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: You're at the pub again. Yeah, I don't know. I
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: would be I would be scared. I don't like it.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: But also I'm not out there saying, you know, certain
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: things about the pyramids. I'm not talking about like former
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: civilizations that have kind of come and gone, or like
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: some kind of cover ups. I'm not in his world.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: And for all we know, when you're a whistleblower, when
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: you have an IQ as high as him, you know,
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: knowledge is power. This is happening all the time.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: We got to get him in here. I just want
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: to talk to the guy.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, I would do like you know those Rogan podcasts
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: when they light up cigars and go for like four hours.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's what we're.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Going to do. Let's do.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start at the beginning the CIA.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: What do you know, Let's get an air tag on
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: him and then you know we'll be able to contact him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: You just see him sitting out in the front of
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: this podcast studio waiting for us. He's like, can we
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: go again?
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Guys?
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: It is scary and I hope he's okay.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Then all right, anything else in grand Sam?

  Speaker 2: any men on the ground. It's just me doing it
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: resources but I'm doing my best.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Yes. Ah, well, that was the Canadian Open recap and
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: wrap up, and then on the next part we're going
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: to be talking all things Cincinnati, another Master's one thousand event.

  Speaker 1: We're gonna be probably third or fourth round by the
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: time this.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: It'll go to a yes, but we'll have a pretty
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: good idea of how the tournaments shaping up and kind
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: of what that is going to mean for the US Open.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I guess yes. The draw for the US Open will
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: be out in a couple of weeks, and then before
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: that they have the Winston Salem two fifty, which is
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: kind of the last shot for people.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: God be insane if't squeeze another tournament in before the
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: US opened. So thank god.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Well, if you want one final tune up before the
• 51:06

  Speaker 2: Slam and they'll be like, I can rest. Thank God,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: I don't have to play a game every day.
