• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Demon got through. He kind of the guy came out
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: swinging who he med Medaddovich Mededovich. He played really well
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in the first set, but then Demon kind of locked in.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: You see that a lot with the five setters, with
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the big guys.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, often they lose the first set or they get
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: one in the second set, and then they warm up.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Did you guys warm up or not?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: They dial in well, because even I mean, as tennis players,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they're they're tactical brain, they're looking for weaknesses and the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: other player. When Demonar was in here playing ping pong,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he immediately noticed that I wouldn't hit a forehand. Yeah
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: he did, and then just was only going at my forem.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So he's a crafty little bit.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: He is, even on the ping pong table exactly.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we watched when we were out there for
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Tolly Gibson versus Schneider. Just as things started to spral
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: for Gibson, there was one German lady in the crowd
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: who's after every point Schneider won, can you give.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Us your best appropriate every point one go Schneider, Yes,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: every point, every point.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It was, I'll be good for her, but I mean,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: surely even Schneider was like, yeah, you like me? Well,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: looking forward to now this sets up Demon versus TFO.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Oh that's gonna be a good game.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. TFO's nickname is a big Foe, big.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Big water bottle. Yeah, big guy.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: If you didn't know tennis and you saw Big Fou
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: versus Demon.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: What what do you think you were wrestling?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That seems like a wrestling match and I've started a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: petition to put them both in spandex for the.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Imagine if they had to come out and do that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: A little exhibition wrestling before.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The game also set up now because Alcarez rolled over
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Hanfman and during that match, I actually walked in in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: my full osaka get up. Oh, this is what you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: saw on yesterday's app so Alcaaz, it's amazing. I don't know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and our producer, I think b Randa, was like, yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: put the umbrella up.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, just just go into rod
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Labor Arena in this fancy dress, Like can we do that?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And then because we were in a good spot where
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we filmed me in the osaka and when I turned
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: around and waved to the whole crowd behind me, that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was a lot of people are saying it was the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: highlight of the match. Oh, I don't know. But he
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: plays now mute in the next round, Alcaaz, which will
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be great, the crafty frenchman Mute. I think that'll be solid.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I really like just in the women's draw from yesterday,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I love the American player Eva Jovich. Oh, she is cruising.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: She's under the radar.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, I love under the radar.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she did beat a player you like, Priscilla Hanh. Yeah,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: but Paulini is also rolling through Andreva who loves thanking
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: herself after a match.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: It's an interesting tactic. I need to do more of
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: this self care. Yeah, this gen z self care.

  Speaker 1: Opelka the six foot ten American. Uh, and he was
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: getting heckled. I guess like someone was just yelling stuff out.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: He went over to say something. The chair umpire had
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to intervene. I mean, I wish I had a chair
• 14:36

• 14:55
  Speaker 1: off or whatever. Oh okay, threw him off in some way,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: so he But apparently our producer b Rando pointed out
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that when I was walking around dressed as Naomi Osaka,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: we had an interaction with that actual heckler.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: That's that's insane.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: But he was very nice and supportive.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: So maybe he just like he's a fun guy. Yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: maybe he just likes America. I'm just saying.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe this is we kind of touched on before. There

  Speaker 2: It was heavy. Yeah, this machine, well you can watch
• 15:34

  Speaker 2: to rain so you can use this machine and look
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: at the poor book. Yeah, let's get more of these machines.
• 15:42

  Speaker 1: diet and his his lifestyle.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should never ask a man about his diet.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I used to like to eat junk food, you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a lot, and I used to like to drink a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: lot of Coca Cola or whatever. But I now I

• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, because I'm fascinated by elite athletes and what
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they're doing lifestyle and diet wise.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Me too, like how they're stretching, Yeah, what exercises they're doing.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Like Djokovic, I've always found fascinating because he spends a
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: lot of time on the recovery and they're like yoga
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and the stretching part of it. Yeah, and I don't
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: think anyone else does it like him.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he's touched a carb since the nineties.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Really, he can't even look at potatoes take them away?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, potatotini. Oh yeah, I can never him, you can
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: never play him. Ah. He public said he used to
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: eat a bunch of junk food and go out all
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the time. But now he's got a young family and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: he's he's cleaned up his act and he's now a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: top ten player in the world.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, and he's he's crediting no junk food.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: No, I guess so.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: But there's a lot of elite athletes who have been
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: junk food. Officio, you saying, Bolt, Remember he's always been
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: into Macca's chicken nuggets.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Do you think he was crushing burgers when he was
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: in his prime? Hell? Yeah, really, Yeah, he's a freak.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Michael Phelps, Phelps, Oh yeah, well.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: He loved everything. We should find out what Keegan Palmer eats.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Oh the s.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: He's eating junk food for sure, or are we underestimating
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: maybe the athleticism and well.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Can you think he's a skater? He's eating like what slushies?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just down at this gape.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: We had a classic pitch invader at the AO, a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: big beatle.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's some sort of beatle, some sort
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: of night beetle, right, night beatle, night beatle, night beatle.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And then the ball kid comes to get it, because
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think any overseas player trusts the Australian wildlife,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: so they don't want to touch it. But is there
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: like a camera person that is on that beatlet? Yeah?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Or insect watch bird watch? Yeah, someone's job.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: A lot of a crowd v tennis ball action, a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: lot of classic catches, classic catches, but also a classic drop.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And then Gabriella Ruz hitting a fan in the stands
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: with the ballpost mat.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's pretty funny. Yeah, you know we're just throwing a
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: ball into the crowd.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thinking that celebrating it's a nice game.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Donks a lady in the crowd who what she was
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: maybe looking at her phone or something to.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: A friend in front of her. Yeah, well then gets
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: a bull of the head. I'd be happy with that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Would you.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh what we saw the other day when we
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: were watching a match. You know, if you catch a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: ball in the stands, you meant to wait till the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: points over and then you throw it to the ball kid.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: But then this lady drunk. You know, we're watching the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that was a Sweeney match with mon fees. And she
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: catches the ball and goes, I mean, I'll let you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: do the impression of her.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: What did she do?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: She don't remember. I remember she caught the ball, screamed woohoo,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and then immediately threw it as hard as she could back.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: All right, so when we saw the lady catch.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: The ball, all right, we'll do it real well.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: So this is the ball coming at You just heard
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the bull back on the court. It was between stop play.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she really stuffed it up.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: This kid dropping the ball. What hurts me most about
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this is that he'll never live this down and straight.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Through the hands. He took his eyes off the bowlder.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: He took his eyes off the ball. And also he's
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: wearing a Kansas City cheese yeah, which really that's a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: metaphor for the season for the Kansas City Chiefs. We
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: really dropped the ball on our season, and that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Kid, wow, wow, wah wah, there it is. Mine was
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: actually pretty I didn't need to play. He didn't need
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: to play that. The last catch we have is from
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: an interesting looking guy and he catches the ball and
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: he is really happy with himself. Who is this person?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: He is so intense?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Right, all right, So he's like in the cameraman seats,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it's one of your.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Friend's ace who gets to sit here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he catches it, but he's he's scary.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Military Yeah, military precision. He throws it back straight away
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and he fist pumps himself.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: He's like, yes, he's intense. I thought he would take
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a bite out of it. Carlos Alcoraz was playing not
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: only the distraction of me walking around the stadium in
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the Osaka outfit, but someone from the crowd yelled out, yes,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you're the best, Carlos and the doll.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: That was.
