- 3:37Speaker 1: They're on the graves looking for a match.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, look, Lizzie, it's a sad day. Sad day,
- 3:47Speaker 3: but it's also new beginnings as we go on leave.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Play good tennis.
- 4:02Speaker 7: Listener. That's what happens when no one writes lyrics before.
- 4:07Speaker 3: A Well, should we get into all the action from
- 4:11Speaker 3: yesterday day eight?
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot went on.
- 4:15Speaker 3: We Uh, Lizzie and I went out and watched a
- 4:18Speaker 3: bit of Boco versus Sablenka. In Boco, Sabs was strong,
- 4:24Speaker 3: She's like a dominant strong Yeah. It was a great
- 4:28Speaker 3: second set though, yeah yeah, and Boco came back, and
- 4:31Speaker 3: Boco came back but still lost in the tie break,
- 4:35Speaker 3: so unfortunately, she'll be booking a flight home.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Oh bye bye, Oh.
- 4:43Speaker 7: What was the vibelock out in the crowd?
- 4:45Speaker 1: They're very pro and Boco.
- 4:47Speaker 7: Yeah. Do you think Tablenka's got that kind of energy
- 4:50Speaker 7: that she's been so successful and she's loved that people
- 4:53Speaker 7: are then like underdog, let's bring her down. We want
- 4:56Speaker 7: to see the person killing it.
- 4:58Speaker 1: He's only like nineteen, Well is it tall?
- 5:02Speaker 3: Poppy thing with Sablenka and she that was her twentieth
- 5:06Speaker 3: uh successive.
- 5:08Speaker 7: Tie break one yeah crazy.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Oh.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Sablenka plays American teenager Eva.
- 5:14Speaker 7: Yoh, she's eighteen eighteen. They get younger and younger. The
- 5:19Speaker 7: crowd's going to be against Sablanca again.
- 5:21Speaker 2: She's amazing.
- 5:23Speaker 5: But Djokovic has given her some tips, it's like coaching tips. Yeah,
- 5:28Speaker 5: and she's taken them on and.
- 5:29Speaker 2: She's destroying she is.
- 5:31Speaker 7: What's he gonna say, I need to get him down
- 5:33Speaker 7: for my little Thursday night competition. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Well, Iva Djovic doing fantastically And because she played Potensiva yesterday. Uh,
- 5:45Speaker 3: Yolena Potenzova who at the end of her last match
- 5:48Speaker 3: against son Mes really twirked it up to rub it in.
- 5:52Speaker 7: Yeah, she did twist it out.
- 5:54Speaker 1: She worked. That's the technical term in front of the crowd.
- 5:58Speaker 7: You don't like I like to work it up. I
- 6:00Speaker 7: mean I can see how it works, but it is
- 6:02Speaker 7: that would I mean, you t work it up. Crowds
- 6:03Speaker 7: are quite crazy. Well, no denying it.
- 6:05Speaker 3: So when Yovich had the perfect opportunity because she baggled
- 6:09Speaker 3: and bagetted potent of her which is zero in one,
- 6:14Speaker 3: and she had the opportunity to do the funniest thing
- 6:18Speaker 3: ever and you know, crump and twerk and everything. But
- 6:22Speaker 3: she has way more class than I would have had
- 6:25Speaker 3: I done that, and she just like was gracious and
- 6:28Speaker 3: then the wind and you know, give a no speech afterwards.
- 6:31Speaker 7: Wait, how would you handle it?
- 6:32Speaker 1: Do you think I would have worked and crumped?
- 6:34Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't do them. You can't do the worm
- 6:38Speaker 7: on that hot surface.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Oh I thought you were saying I can't do the
- 6:40Speaker 1: worm just.
- 6:41Speaker 7: Well, I was like physically, don't think you can do
- 6:43Speaker 7: the worm.
- 6:43Speaker 1: But I.
- 6:50Speaker 7: God, although you do have the energy of like yeah,
- 6:52Speaker 7: if you were like, yeah, yeah, you don't have real
- 6:55Speaker 7: well more snaker like I think if you told me, like,
- 6:58Speaker 7: because I've seen photos of you, the team, like you
- 7:01Speaker 7: could have had like a break dancing era for sure.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:05Speaker 3: I mean we had Kegan Palmer in here, we're talking
- 7:07Speaker 3: all things skateboarding, and.
- 7:09Speaker 7: Yes, saw that I was one of one of his peops.
- 7:14Speaker 2: You dropped he had.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 7:19Speaker 7: Mike's in all those corporate boxes at Rod Laver Arena
- 7:21Speaker 7: and just being like I'm a bit of a skater,
- 7:23Speaker 7: a countercultural guy. Yeah, actually resent this corporate stuff. You
- 7:28Speaker 7: guys are all into.
- 7:30Speaker 1: You guys get it.
- 7:31Speaker 3: I'm a bad boy, bad boy the Carlos Alcoraz versus
- 7:36Speaker 3: Tommy Paul match fellow American.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Honk Tommy Paul.
- 7:42Speaker 7: Jock vibe.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I love him, though.
- 7:44Speaker 7: I like Tommy Paul.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Well, it was like Purple verse Green.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Yeah, this is Lizzie. We're gonna miss this insightful commentary,
- 7:54Speaker 3: that's all.
- 7:55Speaker 7: Yes, Lizzy sitting with a toddler, just go and go.
- 7:58Speaker 7: I like Green, It's better than I think, great shot Purple.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Uh. Yeah, it was three to three in the first set,
- 8:12Speaker 3: tie break, and then a punter needed medical attention. Well,
- 8:16Speaker 3: Lizzie and I were in the stadium for this, and
- 8:18Speaker 3: so there's a long break and probably I think in
- 8:21Speaker 3: the best set of the match because Carlos eventually took
- 8:24Speaker 3: it out in three. Uh, thankfully the punter was okay.
- 8:28Speaker 3: She was able to walk out of there on her
- 8:30Speaker 3: own volition.
- 8:31Speaker 1: So Carlos is through. He's looking dominant, and uh, he'll
- 8:34Speaker 1: be playing.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Demon R in his next round, the Demon because thoughts, Oh,
- 8:41Speaker 3: Carlos in four and that's been generous.
- 8:44Speaker 7: I think Demon's playing well though, Like you can make
- 8:47Speaker 7: an argument this is the best he's ever played. But yeah,
- 8:49Speaker 7: he's not going to be that. He's not gonna be
- 8:52Speaker 7: a Spanish hunk cluck that.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Let's be real, see where he's on hun Quatch already?
- 8:57Speaker 7: Are you talking about Yeah, there's a hate policy here
- 8:59Speaker 7: at Melbourne Pop. It's also related to the attractiveness of
- 9:02Speaker 7: the play is out there.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Well, when Mateo Barattini went out, that was the top
- 9:06Speaker 1: top honk.
- 9:07Speaker 7: Top honk.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Oh.
- 9:08Speaker 7: Hey, you've got an Excel spreadsheet, I'm updated, send it
- 9:14Speaker 7: to me.
- 9:14Speaker 3: But then when Mateo found out we were calling him
- 9:16Speaker 3: Potato Faccini, he bailed on the tournament.
- 9:19Speaker 7: It happens. You're gonna, you know, lose a few to
- 9:22Speaker 7: make good stuff.
- 9:23Speaker 3: I know, I know, Well, well we'll be on honk
- 9:25Speaker 3: watch still even with Lizzie's departure.
- 9:27Speaker 7: You know you're right in You give me the spreadsheet.
- 9:30Speaker 7: I'll keep updating it for you.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Can you actually write into pod labor at tennis dot.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Com dot every day with my thoughts.
- 9:39Speaker 7: Today is a yellow day.
- 9:41Speaker 3: I well, demon took out a Bublic in straight sets.
- 9:45Speaker 3: I did not see this going as easily as it did.
- 9:49Speaker 2: This is crazy.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bublic double faulted the first set away and
- 9:54Speaker 3: that was the tightest set, and then he kind of
- 9:56Speaker 3: lost focus. He was doing it turned in of this
- 10:00Speaker 3: exhibition stuff where he's just doing tweeners and under observes,
- 10:04Speaker 3: and I think he was really taken aback by Demon's
- 10:09Speaker 3: relentless defense and just couldn't deal with it at all.
- 10:13Speaker 3: So yeah, kind of an easy one for Demon in
- 10:15Speaker 3: the end, and people were predicting that to be the
- 10:17Speaker 3: match of yesterday, but it just was kind of straightforward
- 10:21Speaker 3: and another match that people had high hopes for as
- 10:24Speaker 3: it went for almost five hours last year, but this
- 10:26Speaker 3: year a totally different story between Lerner TN and Danil Medvedev.
- 10:32Speaker 7: Did you guys watch this insane? I didn't say it
- 10:35Speaker 7: was clinical.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Clinical was probably the most put together tennis performance i've
- 10:42Speaker 3: seen this for what it was. Surgical dude, it was
- 10:46Speaker 3: sick to watch. Yeah right, Yeah, he is awesome out there,
- 10:49Speaker 3: and he just carved Medvedev up and was just totally
- 10:53Speaker 3: confounding him. Yeah, never ending rallies. If you're into that,
- 10:56Speaker 3: it's good. There's a bagel thrown in the middle set,
- 10:59Speaker 3: I mean yeah, yeah.
- 11:01Speaker 7: About burying the lead. Jesus, you're like, surgical tennis, unbelievable.
- 11:06Speaker 7: Let's get to the bag Gee.
- 11:08Speaker 3: There's a blood nose. Had to take a long break
- 11:11Speaker 3: because his nose wouldn't stop.
- 11:13Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:13Speaker 1: So his first name is Learner.
- 11:15Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I know learning Yeah yeah, yeah, do you
- 11:17Speaker 7: know why.
- 11:17Speaker 1: He's named that.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Uh No, because his mom is a teacher. Oh, his
- 11:22Speaker 3: sister's name is Justice. Because the dad is a lawyer. Yeah,
- 11:26Speaker 3: give me one of the other.
- 11:27Speaker 7: That's because my my mom said natural pad, So my
- 11:31Speaker 7: name should be not vaccinated. That's crazy.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Your name should be bullshit. Yeah yeah yeah, so learner,
- 11:40Speaker 1: I mean hopefully we can wait.
- 11:41Speaker 7: That's a true story. That's why he's called learning. Yeah yeah, okay,
- 11:45Speaker 7: style v it style Yeah yeah.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it before. Lizzie's dad owned cars workshop.
- 11:51Speaker 1: So she's a handbreaker.
- 11:53Speaker 7: Who handbreak?
- 11:55Speaker 8: Who's good?
- 11:55Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 11:55Speaker 7: Yeah, handbreaker?
- 11:57Speaker 3: I like the other man is that went on yesterday?
- 12:01Speaker 3: That was Fiddlina and Andreva. Mira Andreva another teenager that
- 12:07Speaker 3: was still in the draw, but she is not anymore
- 12:09Speaker 3: as Fidelina took her out another easier the friend of
- 12:14Speaker 3: the pod. Yep, she was in here and she handled
- 12:18Speaker 3: it pretty easily. Mira Andreva was a lot of people's
- 12:21Speaker 3: pick as the dark horse to go through to the final,
- 12:24Speaker 3: but she is gone. And Bublik was my dark horse
- 12:27Speaker 3: in the men's side, and he bec I don't know anything,
- 12:33Speaker 3: Do you have your bracket?
- 12:35Speaker 1: I could pull up the bracket.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Do you want?
- 12:37Speaker 3: Oh, we should check in because Lizzie who is leaving,
- 12:39Speaker 3: so we could see where we are on this final day.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Lizzie did the men's draw.
- 12:44Speaker 5: I did the men's and I am on four hundred
- 12:46Speaker 5: and twenty three points. Yeah, overall eleven and seventy three.
- 12:52Speaker 7: That's your rank out of how many are we talking?
- 12:55Speaker 5: Oh?
- 12:56Speaker 7: No idea?
- 13:00Speaker 1: And your winner is Djokovic though, so I think you're
- 13:02Speaker 1: gonna fall?
- 13:03Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 13:03Speaker 2: Whoa am I? He just got a night off.
- 13:06Speaker 7: Oh yeah, he might recover, but he.
- 13:08Speaker 2: Still hasn't played old No good work for him.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know my overall points, you're still beating me,
- 13:16Speaker 3: just barely. Four hundred and twenty four twenty Kegan Palmer
- 13:19Speaker 3: would love that scoring yea and overall rank eleven, five
- 13:24Speaker 3: hundred and thirty six.
- 13:25Speaker 7: Oh say you pretty close? Pretty close?
- 13:28Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 13:28Speaker 3: But I have Sabalanka winning, so I feel like we're
- 13:31Speaker 3: gonna put a chance.
- 13:31Speaker 7: I think of that.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh.
- 13:33Speaker 3: We went and watched the final set of Cocoa Golf
- 13:37Speaker 3: and Carolina Mukova the mooch.
- 13:40Speaker 7: Together, he goes winch.
- 13:42Speaker 2: We always go together.
- 13:43Speaker 7: That's what you're gonna have to do. I'm gonna hang
- 13:45Speaker 7: out with Mike.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta sit next to me.
- 13:47Speaker 7: He's gonna Bullyeve me. Can already tell?
- 13:50Speaker 5: Oh?
- 13:50Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, Lizzie and I were sitting in the media
- 13:54Speaker 3: section and there's everyone with their laptops and they got
- 13:56Speaker 3: one hundred tabs open, and we're arguing about what the
- 13:59Speaker 3: best pick.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Old flavored crisps are serious, serious stuff.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:08Speaker 3: So yesterday ol Coco GoF closed that out against the Mooch.
- 14:11Speaker 3: I think that was the best match of the day. Surprisingly,
- 14:14Speaker 3: and uh stat that every time Coco GoF has played
- 14:17Speaker 3: the Mooch and beat her in a big tournament, she's
- 14:20Speaker 3: gone on to win the title. I saw that.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Yeah, so we will see what happens.
- 14:27Speaker 3: U yakamnsic is withdrawn from the tournament with an ab injury.
- 14:33Speaker 1: His ab muscle is hurt.
- 14:35Speaker 3: People are dropping like I think they're listening to the
- 14:38Speaker 3: pod and they're laughing so hard.
- 14:40Speaker 7: That they tear in You think that's it?
- 14:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Probably el Zev also over Sarundelo in three sets. Other
- 14:49Speaker 3: than that, I mean, the matches are obviously whittling down
- 14:52Speaker 3: where you were getting into the quarterfinals now and today
- 14:56Speaker 3: already we have a result that uh Jess Pagola over
- 14:59Speaker 3: Madison Key and Straits and the way they do a
- 15:03Speaker 3: podcast together, an inferior podcast, of course. And the wager
- 15:08Speaker 3: was that if Madison Keys lost that she would have
- 15:11Speaker 3: to eat one of Pegoula's favorite desserts, which is apple
- 15:14Speaker 3: pie and cheese on top.
- 15:16Speaker 7: Oh that's not that much of a punnet. I mean,
- 15:19Speaker 7: the cheese is a bit weird, I.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Guess, but I think it'd be fine.
- 15:22Speaker 1: That's fine.
- 15:23Speaker 7: It's like what they should listen to Australian commercial radio
- 15:25Speaker 7: if they want to hear pa the shoe, yeah, the chewy,
- 15:28Speaker 7: or like get someone's name tattooed on your arse. Oh,
- 15:32Speaker 7: you get to eat a pretty delicious dessert.
- 15:34Speaker 2: And she was adam it. She's like, I am not
- 15:36Speaker 2: doing that.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but now she has to do it like
- 15:39Speaker 1: I do that. It's fine.
- 15:40Speaker 3: I've said on here that if we get one hundred
- 15:42Speaker 3: thousand downloads for an episode, I will eat a tennis ball.
- 15:45Speaker 7: Oh really yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah great, So.
- 15:48Speaker 1: We're only ninety nine thousand downloads or what I mean?
- 15:52Speaker 7: I'm not going to eat a tennis ball.
- 15:54Speaker 1: If we made a one hundred thousand what would you do?
- 15:57Speaker 7: What if one or total no, yeah, one, yeah, okay,
- 16:05Speaker 7: so it's pretty safe, isn't it?
- 16:08Speaker 5: Is it?
- 16:10Speaker 1: I would? I don't know.
- 16:12Speaker 7: What do you want me to do? I don't really
- 16:14Speaker 7: mind doing anything. Nothing's really a punishment. I was about
- 16:16Speaker 7: to say, I'll eat the biggot tennis ball this one.
- 16:18Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go biggot with it. Okay, First,
- 16:23Speaker 7: would you blend it up? I don't know, yeah, I
- 16:25Speaker 7: think I turned into some kind of smoothie. Bring the
- 16:27Speaker 7: nutrib bullet in. That'd be a way better way to
- 16:29Speaker 7: do it. You'd have to other than what are you
- 16:31Speaker 7: going to sit down with a knife.
- 16:32Speaker 2: And form the microplastics?
- 16:36Speaker 7: Oh well, Lizzie, don't walk.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Outside of your house.
- 16:40Speaker 3: So that's it for all the matches yesterday. Should we

- 18:30Speaker 2: The people love it.

- 18:35Speaker 2: I've got a video of my of him taking his
- 18:40Speaker 2: shirt off from last year.
- 18:41Speaker 7: You have a video, yeah, you've said, but it's twelve
- 18:43Speaker 7: months old.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Yeah, my favorite.
- 18:47Speaker 7: How do you look at it?
- 18:49Speaker 2: Not all the time?
- 18:51Speaker 5: It did remind me of just got one video like
- 18:53Speaker 5: zooming in from the bleachers.
- 18:56Speaker 1: And so you were in the stadium and he was changing.
- 19:00Speaker 7: How close are you? Yeah, oh I'm far away, so
- 19:03Speaker 7: you didn't walk forward.
- 19:05Speaker 2: No, I was in the stands.
- 19:07Speaker 7: Yeah, then you go round to the front level and
- 19:09Speaker 7: really get it.
- 19:10Speaker 5: But do you know he was he's had a full
- 19:14Speaker 5: body shave.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Oh since the start of the tournament.
- 19:18Speaker 7: Wait, you've been monitoring a reel.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Do you have a video of this as well?
- 19:23Speaker 5: A real he had He had hair at the start
- 19:26Speaker 5: of the and he shaved it, and now he shaved it.
- 19:29Speaker 7: Well, I guess you get down to the pointy end
- 19:30Speaker 7: of the tournament, there's going to be more eyeballs on you,
- 19:33Speaker 7: less hair. I guess is that wax?
- 19:35Speaker 1: Wax in the backsack?
- 19:37Speaker 3: And al kraz Let's get into one of our favorite
- 19:41Speaker 3: segments on the pod.
- 19:42Speaker 1: This is watch watch.
- 19:46Speaker 3: All right, the al KaAZ got busted using a whoop
- 19:50Speaker 3: under his sweatband.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Sebilenka got busted the other day to.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Warm up.
- 19:58Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a fancy f it records data. Is that correct?
- 20:02Speaker 1: But why is it banned.
- 20:03Speaker 7: Do we know he's a little bit of an edge,
- 20:06Speaker 7: but well, unless you plug it into an app during
- 20:09Speaker 7: the game.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose having an under the sweatband isn't the
- 20:12Speaker 3: best look, like what else? But if he has it
- 20:15Speaker 3: under the sweatband, he knows it's you know, not allowed.
- 20:18Speaker 1: And so what does he have on?
- 20:19Speaker 3: There?
- 20:20Speaker 1: Is shorts?
- 20:22Speaker 7: Oh wow, I think there's speculated wildly. Jim Corey is
- 20:27Speaker 7: next question, what's in your shorts? You take the shirt off?
- 20:32Speaker 7: Maybe take the shorts off. Well, I'm just very glad
- 20:34Speaker 7: that people would like it. I need to take it
- 20:36Speaker 7: all off. It's the only way to prove I am innocent.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Yeah, the whoop whoop?
- 20:42Speaker 4: There it is.
- 20:42Speaker 1: He was asked to take it off.
- 20:44Speaker 3: I guess that's banned for some reason, because what can
- 20:48Speaker 3: he not get his steps in?
- 20:49Speaker 1: Is he not like the rest of us?
- 20:51Speaker 7: I think it vibrates or something. It's like you know
- 20:52Speaker 7: in chess the chest. I don't know, I'm making this up,
- 20:55Speaker 7: but it vibrates. Morse Code saying you're a strong woman
- 20:59Speaker 7: and that's what he.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Needs just to keep going.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Maybe they're getting sent to.
- 21:02Speaker 7: Well they could like right Morse Code in morsecirte. So
- 21:05Speaker 7: you've got to learn Morse code, which yeah, probably could. Yeah,
- 21:09Speaker 7: I guess.
- 21:10Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 21:10Speaker 7: Maybe they're teaching it in tennis academies all over the world.
- 21:12Speaker 4: I don't know this theory. Yeah, thank you.
- 21:14Speaker 1: All right, this goes straight to the top.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Carlos Alcoraz another when he replaces the whoop, he puts
- 21:20Speaker 3: on a twenty twenty one Rolex DAYTONA meteorite panda, that's.
- 21:26Speaker 5: What he So he took off the whoop and he
- 21:28Speaker 5: put another watch.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think the whoop is as impressive as
- 21:31Speaker 3: a sixty five thousand dollars meteorite pandas.
- 21:35Speaker 1: What do you have?
- 21:36Speaker 7: I got right, I got my little This is my
- 21:37Speaker 7: Cassio eighteen dollars online digital. My sister got it for me.
- 21:43Speaker 7: And yeah, I mean it means a lot to me.
- 21:45Speaker 7: I'm more a sentimental guy, you know, as a person
- 21:47Speaker 7: that he's flashy European tennis players within a million doges time.
- 21:53Speaker 1: What was that?
- 21:53Speaker 7: Correct question?

- 29:41Speaker 6: through the gate, they're loving it to be getting great
- 29:43Speaker 6: feedback from them. You get the occasional person that wants
- 29:48Speaker 6: a different experience, but that's kind of normal.
- 29:50Speaker 8: But we respond to that as well.
- 29:52Speaker 6: So we're just very proud of what we've delivered for
- 29:55Speaker 6: for our audiences and audiences around the world. And there's
- 29:59Speaker 6: me any things that happen behind the scenes that sometimes
- 30:02Speaker 6: people don't get to experience or see, and but that's
- 30:05Speaker 6: part of making the events successful.
- 30:06Speaker 8: Deciding when players play.
- 30:08Speaker 6: And schedule is always is always a negotiation, starts early
- 30:12Speaker 6: in the morning, started already today for tomorrow and when
- 30:15Speaker 6: I leave the podcast now we're going to make some
- 30:16Speaker 6: decisions on where we put people tomorrow.
- 30:18Speaker 1: And you're doing that with a slate bus.
- 30:21Speaker 6: And maybe based on what we're going to discuss tomorrow,
- 30:23Speaker 6: maybe I should take the bottle.

- 30:31Speaker 1: the seagulls that walk around? Are they part?
