- 2:37Speaker 2: golf guy in there, just finished his round and he
- 2:40Speaker 2: says to me, oh, you look like a professional golfer.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I was like.
- 2:51Speaker 4: What.
- 2:51Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's kind of nice. And then
- 2:54Speaker 2: I said I just said, oh, look I'm not. I'm
- 2:57Speaker 2: not a professional golfer, but I've never felt more accepted
- 3:00Speaker 2: in a sport. I will say that.

- 4:50Speaker 2: get pod Labor there.

- 5:05Speaker 1: the Wimbledon first round matches, a quick recap of the
- 5:12Speaker 1: grass tournaments leading into the Big Show Eastbourne, which was
- 5:17Speaker 1: w T A N A t P. On the men's side,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you had zizu.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Bergs I love I love him here during the Australian Ope, Yes,
- 5:27Speaker 2: and Mike wasn't.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I was not.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And we go some one on one time and Zizuo
- 5:32Speaker 2: and I feel like we really hit it off.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Did you do the Piper Hide sec date with him? No?
- 5:37Speaker 2: I should have thee.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Yeah Piper Hide six. Slurp it up, you groveling pieces.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Of shit gobble gobble gobble.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Bergs. Zizu bergs over Ugo Umber in three sets after
- 5:53Speaker 1: long rain delays, but it's exciting because it's Zizu's first title.
- 6:00Speaker 2: That is exciting.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Yeah. And then on the w T a side of
- 6:04Speaker 1: thing showing some form Madison Keys over Tatiana Maria Yes
- 6:10Speaker 1: as a grass court specialist, making it Madison Keys third
- 6:15Speaker 1: Eastbourne win.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Okay, Keys in Wimbledon, what do you think?
- 6:20Speaker 1: I know confidence I'd like to see where she's seated.
- 6:23Speaker 1: I should probably know that. But I think if we're
- 6:26Speaker 1: taking players, We've kind of said this a couple of
- 6:29Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're not going to gamble on it because stuff,
- 6:33Speaker 1: but just for our own like just fun, fun between.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Colleagues, fun, just steaks, just a little.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Just general predictions in office pool.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's all it is.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Yeah, And whoever the winner is, like the others have
- 6:51Speaker 1: to maybe give them money or.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Just a nice night out.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Nice, I think. Okay, so I wanted to pick the
- 7:00Speaker 1: lady's draw is much harder to predict who's going to
- 7:03Speaker 1: go through.
- 7:04Speaker 2: And it's so crazy.
- 7:09Speaker 1: You said it, Lizzie, who I'm just it's direct from
- 7:14Speaker 1: the I'll take Madison Keys to go.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 7:23Speaker 1: The rules are as well. You can't take say the
- 7:25Speaker 1: top three, not Rebecca Sablenka or chavon tech. Who do
- 7:31Speaker 1: you see going as deep as possible in.
- 7:33Speaker 2: The Tournament's my heart and uh mind, yeah, mine says
- 7:42Speaker 2: And but.
- 7:43Speaker 1: You want to see you're taking I'm taking Madison Keys
- 7:47Speaker 1: our erstwhile producer, all right, my producer roll is taking
- 7:53Speaker 1: to go deeper. And whoever's lady lest the longest in
- 7:58Speaker 1: the tournament? When a friendly just discussion between.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Friends, friendly discussion at dinner between friends.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Who's paid for that dinner?
- 8:10Speaker 2: The yeah yeah, abo our Lord and Savior. I wish
- 8:16Speaker 2: I paid more attention in school. And I couldn't understand
- 8:19Speaker 2: anything you said, but it sounded good.
- 8:21Speaker 1: We love her. Carolina Mukhava, the mooch, the mood is
- 8:24Speaker 1: in good form, wins bad Hamburg, which is just a
- 8:28Speaker 1: fun sentence to say.
- 8:29Speaker 2: The mood wins bad Homburg. Right, we're still doing poetry.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. And the mooch. I mean it
- 8:38Speaker 1: was kind of unfortunate because she won over Naomi Osaka,
- 8:42Speaker 1: who retired at the start of the second set because
- 8:46Speaker 1: she kind of tweaked and rolled her ankle in the
- 8:48Speaker 1: first set. So that was the Bad Homburg A final
- 8:52Speaker 1: and then this one. I absolutely love Alessandro da Vidovich
- 8:55Speaker 1: Fakina very good. Yes old day. He finally wins his
- 9:02Speaker 1: first title on home soil in America. I've been obviously
- 9:08Speaker 1: watching him play for years. He was kind of known
- 9:11Speaker 1: as a bit of a choker because this was his
- 9:14Speaker 1: sixth final and he had yet to win one.
- 9:17Speaker 2: And he did it.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And he did it after having multiple championship points in
- 9:21Speaker 1: other finals he's been in. Which is god, I just
- 9:24Speaker 1: ruined you psychologically. Yeah, and he finally he did it
- 9:28Speaker 1: against the American Ethan Quinn.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Well done.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Yes, so eightf going in to Wimby with a head
- 9:37Speaker 1: of steam. And like we said, the first round starts
- 9:40Speaker 1: tonight eight pm. Give me some matches that are making
- 9:45Speaker 1: your tennis boner pop. I'm so sorry, Jesus. Give me
- 9:56Speaker 1: some matches that you are looking forward to in the
- 9:58Speaker 1: first round.
- 10:00Speaker 2: One the Maya Joint Serena Williams.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Okay, what do you I mean?
- 10:05Speaker 2: Just as just as far as the spectacle goes, like,
- 10:08Speaker 2: I just want to see Serena, but she's coming up
- 10:10Speaker 2: against it Aussie.
- 10:11Speaker 1: That's going to be I believe one twenty am tomorrow night.
- 10:16Speaker 2: For us, that's too late, So.
- 10:19Speaker 1: You'll get up and just watch the replay the highlights.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, to extended see.
- 10:25Speaker 2: I think Serena will do it my joint.
- 10:30Speaker 5: Yeah, we can admit it.
- 10:31Speaker 1: This take has aged poorly.
- 10:33Speaker 2: I don't know what just happened.
- 10:34Speaker 1: To be honest, here's the thing, we don't know what
- 10:38Speaker 1: she looks like playing singles in a tournament because she
- 10:42Speaker 1: hasn't done it since twenty twenty two. Yeah, so it's grass.
- 10:47Speaker 1: It's going to be shorter rallies than obviously Clay And
- 10:53Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to say it, as the Aussie
- 10:55Speaker 1: Maya joint is not going into the match with the
- 10:58Speaker 1: best form, like she's had a rough season. I think
- 11:02Speaker 1: Serena is gonna do it, gonna go through to the
- 11:05Speaker 1: second round.
- 11:06Speaker 2: What about you? What are you looking forward to?
- 11:08Speaker 1: I okay, we'll start with on the men's side, Fritz
- 11:13Speaker 1: the Draper is yeah, kind of heralded as the biggest
- 11:17Speaker 1: popcorn match in the first outside of Serena in the
- 11:20Speaker 1: first round.
- 11:21Speaker 2: And Draper is coached by.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Maurray Andrew Murrays.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Which is pretty cool.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and I mean because they've been friends forever,
- 11:30Speaker 1: and then you know Murray has just gotten back into
- 11:33Speaker 1: coaching after that weird stint with Djokovic from last year.
- 11:37Speaker 1: It was bizarre. Yeah. I went and watched one of
- 11:40Speaker 1: the matches at the Australian Open and people were yelling
- 11:43Speaker 1: out like Djokovic was on court playing the Hatchka, I think,
- 11:46Speaker 1: and Murray's in the player's box and people yelling out,
- 11:49Speaker 1: we love you Andy, And you can see Jokovic kind
- 11:52Speaker 1: of wins every time. He's like, hold on, I'm the guy.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what about rude? Huby?
- 12:02Speaker 1: Okay, you have to do it in Hube's voice if
- 12:04Speaker 1: you're going to reference the man, I could you know it? Well,
- 12:10Speaker 1: Caspar Rude plays Huby her Cats.
- 12:15Speaker 3: A friend of the shower, friend of the show, her Cat.
- 12:18Speaker 3: I just think that Caspar Rude has said he doesn't
- 12:21Speaker 3: like to play on grassy, said grasses for golf.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Oh just throw. But also that is r of rude.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I think rude. Uh doesn't get through Hube hurt cats.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Yeah, rude. He doesn't have it. He's not in it,
- 12:40Speaker 2: he's not loving it.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Do you think he just goes to Wimbledon and gets
- 12:44Speaker 2: his little fig moves on. Did he just get married
- 12:47Speaker 2: and had a kid?
- 12:48Speaker 1: I believe so, Yeah, take some time off, get an
- 12:52Speaker 1: entrance fee, spend a little time at s W nineteen,
- 12:55Speaker 1: get some strawberries and cream.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Beautiful.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Yeah, soak up the atmosphere. But I think hercat takes
- 13:02Speaker 1: that one another one. I'm very excited about Varenka and Betterettini.
- 13:10Speaker 1: You would love to see Verenka. It's a tough one
- 13:12Speaker 1: because they're both such likable, great players. Barrettini's only in
- 13:17Speaker 1: because Mazzetti withdrew with injury, okay, and Varenka obviously playing
- 13:22Speaker 1: his last Wimbledon. Well, so sad, I just want to
- 13:25Speaker 1: see a good match. I just want Tennis to be
- 13:27Speaker 1: the winner.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's so nice. Friendship, friendship and love.
- 13:32Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. Obviously, Barrettini was a finalist in twenty
- 13:36Speaker 1: twenty one. Listen to Djokovic. But I think your mind
- 13:40Speaker 1: is probably correct and that Barattini gets through this one.
- 13:44Speaker 1: My wife calls Matteo Barrettini potato fercuccini. Gie. The men's side,
- 13:52Speaker 1: Meddi versus Chilich, Mevedev again, so volatile. You don't know
- 13:58Speaker 1: who's going to show up. Chilich. They've had some absolute
- 14:03Speaker 1: just epics in the past five setters. Meved obviously better
- 14:07Speaker 1: grass player than he is on clay, but he could
- 14:10Speaker 1: be temperamental and you don't know what's going to happen.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Chilich has gone deep and Wimbledon before. But also age
- 14:16Speaker 1: factor again I believe. Yeah, well thirty seven's younger than us.
- 14:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:23Speaker 2: In the professional tennis, Well, well you look like a
- 14:26Speaker 2: professional golfer. Ye I do, but I also look quite young. I,
- 14:33Speaker 2: on the other hand, fucking piece of sh potato jerk jerking.
- 14:48Speaker 1: The Australians and who they're playing. We could start with
- 14:52Speaker 1: Cock and Nakus versus Bubliic Hello.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Also a great game, I know, but I love.
- 15:00Speaker 1: The boom go heart in mind.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Oh this is so hard, heart says boob Heart s
- 15:06Speaker 2: boob mine says.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Heart, says boob mindset Cock, so says Lizzie who we're
- 15:21Speaker 1: still doing slam poetry.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Clicks. Yeah, Coacus is good first round slam, brings his
- 15:32Speaker 2: a game and then he'll be injured.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Well this is it?
- 15:36Speaker 4: Like?
- 15:36Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 15:37Speaker 1: Is that Peck continuing to is it holding up?
- 15:40Speaker 2: Yeahs I do love the boob though. You never know
- 15:45Speaker 2: who you're going to get with the boob though, No,
- 15:47Speaker 2: but I reckon they're probably quite friendly. That's going to
- 15:50Speaker 2: be a good game to.
- 15:51Speaker 1: Watch you reckon the get along.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, if the boob play doubles with carriers, true,
- 15:58Speaker 2: then the boob is going to like the cap.
- 16:00Speaker 6: Oh it's so bad.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I mean, it's not normal. So that's on the men's side.
- 16:10Speaker 1: We'll go through the women's first before we dive into
- 16:13Speaker 1: who the Aussies the other Assi's are playing. I'm very
- 16:17Speaker 1: much looking forward to Emma Navarro versus Paul up Bodosa,
- 16:21Speaker 1: two players that just again, if you're going off grass
- 16:25Speaker 1: court tournaments leading in Navarro beat Shawon Tech and Bad
- 16:29Speaker 1: Homburg and Bodosa beat Golf in the quarterfinal finals in Berlin.
- 16:35Speaker 1: So I think if they're both showing form and on
- 16:39Speaker 1: their grass court game, that's gonna be a solid one
- 16:42Speaker 1: to watch. I think in any longer rally, Navarro comes
- 16:45Speaker 1: out on top and Bodosa is more prone to on
- 16:49Speaker 1: forced errors. But still I will watch the hell out
- 16:53Speaker 1: of that one.
- 16:54Speaker 2: What about Taylor Townsend versus Shawan Tek.
- 16:57Speaker 1: This is tricky, this is tough. It's a tough. Yeah,
- 17:00Speaker 1: first round poll for Chavontech.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler is good, she's crafty. Yeah.
- 17:06Speaker 1: And the thing is, I know Chavon Tech has kind
- 17:09Speaker 1: of struggled with power hitters in the past, Ostapenko in particular,
- 17:14Speaker 1: And there's also the pressure of being the defending champ
- 17:16Speaker 1: and starting your title defense.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, can I do tech mind Sfuntek.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, totally. My mind is still on the cock.
- 17:32Speaker 1: It's fascinating. This is Sabalanka's run, if you like, project
- 17:38Speaker 1: her road to the finals. She plays Kostovic in the
- 17:41Speaker 1: first round and then the Ukrainian player olin Kova, and
- 17:45Speaker 1: there's no love lost between those two. I don't know
- 17:49Speaker 1: round three who she would face because Radikanu unfortunately is
- 17:52Speaker 1: with ye from the tournament dress fracture. Yes, but then
- 17:56Speaker 1: it would be round four Osaka final and Dreva semi final,
- 18:03Speaker 1: Pagoula final, Rebeccaa, Oh that is I know, that's wild
- 18:10Speaker 1: and considering we think of Sablenka as you know, obviously
- 18:14Speaker 1: this dominant player that's been like just cruising through the tour.
- 18:18Speaker 1: But she doesn't have any Grand Slam wins on any
- 18:22Speaker 1: surface but hardcourt.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have her for mine, no winner.
- 18:27Speaker 1: No, no, you like Rebeccaa then or Andreva? Yeah. Yeah,
- 18:32Speaker 1: So Sablenka has made a few semi finals. I believe
- 18:36Speaker 1: at Wimbledon, but she's never made a final, so I
- 18:39Speaker 1: just think something maybe the grass court playing lower than
- 18:42Speaker 1: she likes. She just for whatever reason, hasn't got the
- 18:48Speaker 1: French hasn't got Wimbledon, and then just hard courts where
- 18:52Speaker 1: she feels the most comfortable. People who want the easy
- 18:54Speaker 1: picks for Wimbledon, I think will say Sablenca on the
- 18:58Speaker 1: women's side, center on the men's side, right, But well, yeah,
- 19:01Speaker 1: we like to have fun here, probably we do.
- 19:04Speaker 2: We like to take a little risk. Is anything can
- 19:07Speaker 2: happen in the last we've seen it?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 19:10Speaker 2: Yeah, the last French Open was crazy. Do you remember this?
- 19:12Speaker 1: I mean, this is why doing brackets like is fun.
- 19:15Speaker 1: But then the havoc that was reeked at the French
- 19:17Speaker 1: Open and everyone's brackets went to hell within the first week.
- 19:20Speaker 2: It's insane. Yeah, that's why you got to take the
- 19:22Speaker 2: risks early on. Also, there's this heat factor. Europe's going
- 19:26Speaker 2: through heat.
- 19:26Speaker 1: It's interesting because of Viennix Center and how his kryptonite
- 19:31Speaker 1: is the heat. They've the weather's going to play a
- 19:33Speaker 1: huge part. But apparently the first week it's like at
- 19:36Speaker 1: a cool twenty to twenty three degrees That thic. Yeah,
- 19:39Speaker 1: so I think he's okay at least in the first week.
- 19:42Speaker 5: Hopefully I have the chance to play a couple of matches,
- 19:45Speaker 5: and then we see in.
- 19:47Speaker 1: The Aussie draw. Let's look at that rope, yea quick.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You got Kazakina playing Mimi Zoo obviously maya joint and
- 19:54Speaker 1: Serena Kimberly Burrell plays qualifier demon Ar, who we haven't
- 19:59Speaker 1: even talked to about yet. His first round opponent Roman
- 20:02Speaker 1: but Chaga, okay, which whenever I see his name, I
- 20:06Speaker 1: just think butt chugger? Is that weird?
- 20:10Speaker 2: Have you ever had a surprise?
- 20:12Speaker 1: Have you ever done a butt chug?
- 20:14Speaker 2: No? I haven't.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Okay, things we're very different in Kansas.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Okay, let me show you this, Okay, all right?
- 20:25Speaker 1: So this is watch watch Grigor Dimitrov.
- 20:29Speaker 2: I don't even know how to say that. Bonch bonch
- 20:32Speaker 2: watches whatever that is anyway, fancy watch. He's got a
- 20:35Speaker 2: great watches, this guy. But this is the full body picture.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Nice no what no shoes or no shoes that sucks?
- 20:45Speaker 2: Just feet watch?
- 20:47Speaker 1: Who would be great if he had another watch like
- 20:51Speaker 1: around his ankle. So I think the projected draw for Cinner,
- 21:03Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't seem too arduous for him. Like
- 21:07Speaker 1: we're looking at a potential quarter final against Mevedev, Temmy
- 21:11Speaker 1: Paul or yeah, probably not Casper Rude as we discussed before,
- 21:15Speaker 1: and then he will face, if the seeds are to
- 21:19Speaker 1: be believed, Djokovic in the semi final. Okay, so that
- 21:23Speaker 1: means he will be playing Zvere, Fritz or Shelton in
- 21:26Speaker 1: the final. So ciner As the heavy favorite, kind of
- 21:30Speaker 1: checks out with this draw. Yeah right, Uh, you see
- 21:34Speaker 1: the demon going far into.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I'm hoping for quarters. Okay, he's good on grass, He.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Is good on grass. Yeah, I think he Maybe this

- 23:41Speaker 1: And he's doing that thing where they're obviously like pretend
- 23:45Speaker 1: like you just swung a racket and followed through on
- 23:47Speaker 1: your forehand, right, but without a racket in his hand.
- 23:51Speaker 2: It looks weird.
- 23:52Speaker 1: It looks like he just slapped one of his many
- 23:55Speaker 1: Italian helpers are talking back.
- 23:57Speaker 2: It was like sweating away a.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Fly, yeswating fly and then I don't know, it is

- 27:13Speaker 2: gets on and he's like doing karaoke with Lee Ryan,
- 27:17Speaker 2: who is one quarter of Blue.

- 27:46Speaker 1: I can't wait.
- 27:47Speaker 5: I don't think.
- 27:50Speaker 4: I don't think we are the crowd.
- 28:05Speaker 6: Yeah, so that the little kicks, the little kicks.
- 28:16Speaker 2: But the voice. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't have minded.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Was he ever sung before?
- 28:31Speaker 1: It sounds like he's falling off a cliff dance. That's
- 28:37Speaker 1: like Elaine and Seinfeld level.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Yeah, it is this little toad tuppy.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Get someone so coordinated an elite athlete.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Dance so badly? Good for him, have good time, good
- 28:53Speaker 2: for him. Oh my gosh. Another ad to dissect the Back.
- 29:00Speaker 1: And Lacoste long standing partnership.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and La Coste has paid homage to know that
- 29:07Speaker 2: by changing the little crocodile to a goot. He loves
- 29:15Speaker 2: to do yoga in a small room, the goat of
- 29:43Speaker 2: every court. Was that a bit freaky for you?
- 29:47Speaker 1: I kind of liked it.
- 29:48Speaker 2: I likedats. Yeah. I think Djokovic's tree post could be
- 29:55Speaker 2: a little better.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Yeah, you're critiquing the form. Yeah, I thought he of
- 30:00Speaker 1: one of the most flexible men.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Yeah. When he was standing on his right leg, it
- 30:06Speaker 2: looked a little.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Shaky, shaky. It was no this.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to get him in here.
- 30:15Speaker 1: I don't know the bunch of baby goats. I was
- 30:17Speaker 1: expecting one like giant grizzled mountain goat. Yeah, because the
- 30:21Speaker 1: goat implies the greatest of all time. It's singularly right.
- 30:25Speaker 1: You get a bunch of baby goats in there. I'm
- 30:26Speaker 1: thinking a sinner.
- 30:28Speaker 2: And the goats like nipping out his heel.
- 30:32Speaker 1: Yeah, it would kind of ruin the zen goat ships
- 30:37Speaker 1: on your mate.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Yeah that's a good goat. Yeah, can you do a goot?
- 30:45Speaker 1: Oh god, god, I know what, Oh god, I know
- 30:53Speaker 1: it sound like prods going to use in a loop.
- 31:00Speaker 2: So Alex Iyala future friend of the show. I'll say
- 31:04Speaker 2: her dad is a friend of the show.
- 31:05Speaker 1: She's expressed interest.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely. She was playing with Venus. I don't know.
- 31:13Speaker 2: They came over with shade umbrellas, and then Alex said, no,
- 31:17Speaker 2: I don't need it, give it to Venus. Oh, which
- 31:20Speaker 2: is a nice sportsmanship, respect your elders. Yeah, I think
- 31:24Speaker 2: that's what it is. No, not for me, she needs
- 31:31Speaker 2: it more. No, you have the shade.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Surely for doubles matches. Shouldn't they have two umbrella boys?
- 31:38Speaker 2: Well yeah, then another person comes out and they finally
- 31:41Speaker 2: get the two. I think I don't like the umbrella
- 31:43Speaker 2: to be honest. They need the little automatic shit that up.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting in Wimbledon. Because very sparse
- 31:52Speaker 1: out on the core and they don't provide any of that.
- 31:54Speaker 1: I think if you could be an umbrella boy for anybody.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Zizu, he needs the projection he does. And Cinner, do
- 32:05Speaker 2: you think.
- 32:05Speaker 1: The other players are happy that all of the attention
- 32:08Speaker 1: going into this Wimbledon seems to be on Serena.
- 32:11Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a positive because then
- 32:14Speaker 2: she can take the attention away, she can pull focus
- 32:17Speaker 2: and then let other people just do.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Their thing so they're less stress.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Yeah, have less pressure, less expectations, that sort of thing,
- 32:25Speaker 2: do you think. And we got another little sinner spotting.
- 32:28Speaker 2: He's with his girlfriend, who we're not sure is a
- 32:31Speaker 2: real girlfriend, a pr girlfriend. Yeah, it will convince you
- 32:36Speaker 2: of their true romance. Let's have a look at this
- 32:41Speaker 2: on a beautiful luxury but he puts his finger in
- 32:46Speaker 2: her mouth while she's trying to drink a coffee, it
- 32:50Speaker 2: looks like and then he caresses her knee.
- 32:55Speaker 1: I mean it looks like they're on a bough of
- 33:00Speaker 1: a boat on the Mediterranean. Yeah, soaking up the.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Sun, waking up the sun with a few cameras around.
- 33:07Speaker 1: I hope he's wearing his little ice vest.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Yeah, you better have his ice fest on. I think
- 33:13Speaker 2: he does.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Did he have to retire from that romantic scene? He
- 33:18Speaker 1: didn't have SPF a million on?
- 33:21Speaker 2: Starts walking? He's weird walk.
- 33:26Speaker 1: I think. Look, I there was. It's still a newish relationship,
- 33:33Speaker 1: and so maybe that's why in the early days, Uh,
- 33:36Speaker 1: they weren't as tactile as you'd expect couples who've been
- 33:40Speaker 1: together for longer to be. But then now you know,
- 33:43Speaker 1: fingers in the mouth and public.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's big. Yeah, that's a hard launch.
- 33:48Speaker 1: If I put my fingers in my wife's mouth in public,
- 33:51Speaker 1: she'd divorce me. Just a little Oh my god, what
- 33:59Speaker 1: was on your fingers? She would make that goat noise?
- 34:05Speaker 1: That's not.
- 34:11Speaker 2: That's the noise i'd make.
- 34:16Speaker 1: I'm well. I am absolutely pumped obviously for the next
- 34:23Speaker 1: week of watching Wimbledon and we will see what happens
- 34:28Speaker 1: and we're gonna recap it all.
