  Speaker 1: There's some banter. See I don't know about you, but
• 2:09

  Speaker 1: No?

  Speaker 1: singer's name, Finn, Neil Neil, mister Finn.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.

• 4:10
  Speaker 1: figured out the soundboard by now.

  Speaker 2: But well, I can't say anything. I've got no access
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to the soundwood.

  Speaker 2: Australia and they were arming and ring about it for
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a few months and then they decided not so he

• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He might have got in with the wrong crowd. He
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: might have become a cricket player.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Oh well, he would have been like he.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Was, would have been yeah, pro whatever sport.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He would have been doing that gracefully and beautifully.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: If he became a surfer, oh if he's just like
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: hang in hand.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Well what if he was just like a barrista or

  Speaker 1: there and do the coin toss to open up the match,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: our namesake for the Pod Labor Arena back in his house.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I thought Agacy was amazing.

  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's a fun guy.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like a fun Greek uncle that can't stop
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: ship talking.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, he's always like telling people like,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: oh they can't do this. Yeah that was.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Give us your best Greek.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I did Italian. Yes, today, I feel like everyone's gonna
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: come for me. Uh Malacca, Oh wow good.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It was like I was in the room with Stefano
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: sits a Pass himself. Oh speaking of though, Oh we'll
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: get to sits A Pass and all that. Just a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: few other things I noticed from the opening night. Uh
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Rafter and Hewittt were kind of quiet on the mic.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: They just brought it and wanted to win.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was past his bedtime, I reckon, Oh really, yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he's a Queenslander. We go to bed early, we get
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: up early.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That's true. What's the usual bedtime for a Queenslander?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Eight thirty I would say a thirty nine, and then
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you're up at five. It's the sun, the birds, they're
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: up early. You can't help it, live outside not but
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the sun then just comes in. It's hot. You've got
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to get everything done before nine am because it just
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: gets too hot.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So there's this invention called air conditioning.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: What is that? We don't know it up there?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: No ah, Yeah, so they were just like getting I mean,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of course, this brings out the old competitive juices and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all these guys. And what we've seen through doing all
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: these interviews is that when we switched to the ping
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: pong table with all the pro players, it's like their
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: eyes light up, they do. And then if they lose.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: They are not happy.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And not happy. We have the broken bat right there.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Of I beat Curios in the one point ping pong.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Do you want to say it again?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I beat Curios.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Make that a sound it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: He thought of it last night when we got home
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: from clubbing. He was like, damn that guy.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I thought he broke the ping pong paddle over his
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: knee after losing. And it was great, It was all hilarious,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but like wood went't flying. Yeah, And I was like,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I noticed he hobbled out of here. Really imagine he
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: pulls out of the doubles because I in one point
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: ping pong slam because I am the superior athlete. Yeah yeah,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: oh I beat them. Yeah, just for safety's sake, just
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: so we make sure we get that on the recording.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I beat Nick Carrios, and I think, well, I have
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to go back through. We played so many ping pong matches.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna say until we see it that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I also beat Yennick Center. And I also beat you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: all the top players in the world because Coco, Yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: well who aisd me? Selina Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But you know that's fine. It's taking it easy. It's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: so funny to say I was taking it easy when
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: someone aces you, because weirdly, you literally just stand there
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and let it happen. Other things from the opening opening night.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It's nice to see ashbuddy.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Ash party was back. They got the Barty party going again,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and she still got it. She's still slicing away, still fun.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So that's the finesse. And because they're old, I mean,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Ash can't be too old now, but the guys are older.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: The guys are all mid forties or above. And when
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: they're miked up there's some heavy breathing. It was a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: lot of gasping for air. Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Not the Vo two Max has really gone down.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hit the Venoin boys. What are we doing?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Do some cardio? Yeah, get on the bike.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Ah yeah, we will get into the headlines. I have
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to say though, real quick a clarification before we get
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: into the headline. Calls uh, let my emotions get the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: better of me, and I called Arena Sabolenka, the reigning
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: champ of the Australian Open. Oh after gees No, that's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: his fault because I was reading his notes. I wasn't
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: reading his notes and I should have known better. Because
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Madison Keys I was at the semifinal she won last
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: year and then her.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: It's fine, don't worry about it, it's fine.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry Madison Keys. You are the reigning champ
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and yeah, all the best for the tournament. Please don't

• 15:20
  Speaker 1: news goes here. Ah, so yeah, some huge news. Mateo
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Barrettini has withdrawn from the Australian Open.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So that makes the demons run a little bit easier.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well he'll get a lucky loser. I believe he's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: playing Mackenzie McDonald from the US.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Mac mac macmack.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Mac mack is a US player that's been around
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for a while, another dreamboat on the Australian side of things.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I think it was us calling him potato.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: He had enough, he was out of here. He's like,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I've got no respect.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because no one knows what his actual injury is.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's like he's been vague about it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I don't Yeah, maybe you did listen to the pot
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and was like, I don't believe this is how I'm treated.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And you really sold it. You were like Potato.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I think you guys even made a sound but a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: few times in the episode, and sorry to my Italian.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So one of your one hunks is now out.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Sad day, sad day, demon, great day for him.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: He's your first round. I mean, it's not a guarantee.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe the lucky loser Mac Mac plays out
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of his mind and you.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Know, who knows, who knows anything can happen.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I think I love the term lucky loser that they
• 16:50

• 21:59
  Speaker 1: opening day today of the Australian Open. A lot of
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: casual tennis fans, a lot of people who don't even
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: know tennis. So I love doing this because I always
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: feel like if I bring people to the tennis to
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: watch and they often get bored. There's boring matches, sure,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: but there's awesome matches as well. It's also bars, there's bars,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: there's so much food, there's so much to do. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: if you're bored watching a match, play this game with
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the person you're watching with. Love. If you can guess
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the exact speed of the serve before the player serves,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: so you say like one hundred and eighty.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Five, this is a good game case per hour.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: If you guess the exact number that other person has
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to buy the next round of drinks.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I played that a ton over the years
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: because I'll just bring friends who are like tennis whatever.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: But then, like, you play that game and then all
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're more locked in and focused in
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: watching it. So yeah, but obviously drink responsibly.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Drink responsibly and drink Piper hide.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Sink, drink, Piper, twist the script, Piper hide sick. So
