• 5:33
  Speaker 2: be honest, What the hell isn't that any young adult?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Anything I wrote as a young adult was like just

  Speaker 1: I heard when I was playing in the one point Slam,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: which we'll get to very soon. We played it yesterday,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: but I heard I heard your voice when I was

• 6:30
  Speaker 1: tub of goog.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Wow, he can really move.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Who would have thought? Yeah, the one point Slam will
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: get to later in the episode, but it was quite
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the event. We have so many stories.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I feel like you can tell in the tones of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: our voices how things went.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But other than that, let's get into the show proper.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Quiet please welcome to pod Labor Arena. We are back
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: for day three of opening week of the Australian Open.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: As always, my name is Mike goldteen and I'm joined
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: by the Pat McEnroe to my John McEnroe Lizzy, who Yes,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you cannot be serious.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I am not serious.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: This is good. It's another huge day. Yesterday was thirty
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: four thousand people. What is on a Tuesday for a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: qualifying week?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: People are crazy for tennanse here. Yeah, it's wild. It's
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: so it's like shouldered to shoulder out there, and it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: good out there. Yeah, it's fun.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: They put on such a good event, like it like
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it's a carnival out there.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: The Hot Ship played last night, did they? Yeah? Right?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I saw a lot of people on my socials that
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: went to that, all right.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: At the Seagulls were front and center for Hot Ship,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Am I right?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But I missed up?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And yeah, as we said before, we played in the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: one point Slam yesterday. A lot more people watching that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: than I would have expected.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: And expected or wanted to be honest, I didn't really
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: know what I was getting myself in.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll get more into that in a bit. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: can't wait to revisit trauma. Look, I will say this,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and uh, the powers that'd be if they don't like it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry, but I'm a I'm an edge lord.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, famous, famous the opening week.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: The numbers are so good. They're wondering if people have
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: been duped to thinking opening week means the tournament proper.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it is a little misleading. I wouldn't.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: In the company line.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get fired. I actually I actually
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: think the person who coined it opening week needs are raised. True, Yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: because they have doubled attendance, more than doubled. Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I think the opening day last year was something like
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: seven thousand people and it was twenty five thousand. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, you do the math. And I'm not saying
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that because you're half Asian.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I wasn't even thinking that. Then that's how good at
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: math's I am.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll bring it up because there was a post online.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I think I saw the same one. Was it the comments?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from like Twitter or something, yeah, th eggs whatever
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it is whatever truth social.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people here opening week and they think it's the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: first week of the main draw tournament. But I put
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it to you that that's.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: On them for not for not looking into not.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Looking into it, and also what's on seeing what's on,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And then also they're getting their money's worth. It's twenty
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: bucks to get in on the grounds, you got to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: go see some awesome matches. So I think in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: past it's just been called qualifying week, right, right, So
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: then people are like, oh, okay, I guess you're every
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: man would think, oh, qualifiers all right, whatever. But then
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: people are just wandering around, you know, expecting to see
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: sinner or you know, outcrass. But they can also see
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: them practicing.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they can see them practicing and doing exhibition.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: That yeah, and getting a good seat.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So you would never actually see that if you came
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks, well you could, but
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it'd be.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Expect Yeah, you're paying for broad labor tickets.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: A roll suggested our producer that you might only see
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the seagulls in the opening week.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Which is a major draw cut.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I think. So I looked into their hallowed out dead eyes, yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and it was like looking into the void it's like they.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Got a whole puncher and did it a few times.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you stare into the abyss. Sometimes the abyss stares
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: into you. Speaking of people who are who are coming
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: to the the Open? Have you heard the rumor about
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Taylor and Travis?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Wow? Is that even any sense of credibility to that?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I also think the pr person here
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: should get a race, because it's like they've extended an
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: open invitation to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey to come
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to the Open.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Do they have a cute couple name truly.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Mister missus Swift? Yeah, I do. I don't know. I'm
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: not really as swiftys. I am not a swifty I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: am cool. I'm like rock. Don't get the Taylor Swift
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: fans after us, Oh yeah, we love you.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you don't want to turn their
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: fans off against you, you don't want to turn the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: BTS fans against you.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Oh they're coming out? Yeah that would be that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Would be huge. But I mean that kind of hurts
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: if Travis Kelce came out because it's during NFL playoffs
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and I know he's free because my team is the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. I grew up in Kansas City, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I know his schedule is free and clear because we
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: shit the bed and did not even make the playoffs.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how would you feel you think if you were
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey and you've lost, and you've got all this
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: free time and then just a little open invitation to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: thea AO comes along, would you do it?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, But I feel anything in the world.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like he's carrying Tatay's luggage for her, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, that's a pretty far trip and her sharpa.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they do have a private jin, but I
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: don't know you could extend an open invitation to anyone.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's do it right here. Open invitation Taylor
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Swift Travis Kelcey to come on pod Labor Arena.

• 14:56
  Speaker 1: he's pushed through to the second or third round. I
• 14:59

• 16:27
  Speaker 2: they have big pump bottles of Factor fifty everywhere. I've
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: been spotting them.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've noticed you've been like filling your water bottle.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking it. It's the mecca stuff.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: You know how ect is good stuff.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is good stuff. But she's she's got
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a picture of her back and it is red raw.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, some of it does look like some Chinese
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: cupping stuff going on, but then a lot of it
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: is just I reckon it's third degree. Wow, it's auchi.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I mean this just tells you, actually, how punishing the Australia.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It is really bad here because.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: She's Mexican, right, like she would be used to hot conditions, yes,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and I mean most tennis players would.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: But she just she doesn't know about the hole, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Ozone hole?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: No, what's that it was? It wasn't Tazzy.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Does Tazzy have worse? Like you know in New Zealand
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the hole is worse.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Is that true?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I've heard that about Perth, that the hole in the
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Ozone is worse. Oh I thought it was, or maybe
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: someone was just calling Perth a hole.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, Yeah, I think just hot. But
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: New Zealand like if you if you're there, the sun
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: feels Bernie Bernie Atomic, Bernie tomic. Correct, that's what the ratings.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Are, right, So slip, stop slap if you're out there.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't know that. It's obviously
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a tennis player. But I think Australians has been ingrained
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: into them to stay more sun saved. It couldn't go
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: out if anyone needs me to run the sunscreen on
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: them throughout the open.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Here for you.

• 18:32
  Speaker 1: out there in the brutal ausy son. Another story player, Camillogo.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I imagine it's Ugo.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: We're saying, where's the I go?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Camillo? Ugo.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Cara Belly cut his hair at mid match. Why wouldn't
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: you if it was annoying you?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you thought his previous haircut made him look
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: like a bit of an Ago.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly a bit of an Ugo. But he just
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: gets out the scissors, like the medical scissors from the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: first aid kit and cuts his fringe a little bit.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, make you more aerodynamic, you think, I don't know.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was getting in his eyes and he just
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: thought it's gotta go.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of weird to have scissors in your
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: like go bag at a tennis marriage.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have first aid scissors, probably to cut the
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: bandages and.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: This is an emergency.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah you got cut.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, would you ever do any kind of I don't.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Know, beauty, beauty mid game mid game? Well this is
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: why I think all women in sports a lot of
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: them wear braids. Oh yeah, did you notice this? Like
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: sock players tennis players. So there's a lot of braids, right, Yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I thought they'd all just all back. I thought they'd
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: all just come back from holiday and BALI.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: No, it's not, that's so funny. No, okay, they said
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: they wear the braids, so it's all out of their right.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: So I think he needs a braid.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, breid it up all right, treadlocks.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: No, just like a front braid, front braid. Yeah, with
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: maybe a headband or something like that.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, interesting though, the hairy cut mid match or
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: swand but is it kind of a power move as well?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: If you look across the court and your opponents like
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: doing some grooming, some casual grooming.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You'd be like, you'd be super distracted.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. My next tennis match, on the change of ends,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna wax my backsack and.
• 20:29

  Speaker 1: name proper?
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: See ethnically, I am Chinese and this is gonna embarrass
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: all of my ancestors. They're in their little graves right now.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You'll have to commit seppuku. Is that the right? Ji
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Jen Jung Zi Zen Jung lost to Nick Kirios in
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a battle at the key on Classic, showing that Kirios
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: still has the chops and singles, but he's still not
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: going to play.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: He couldn't go a long game though, five yeah destroy.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean maybe a little too many video games.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, munchies, Yeah, maybe maybe a couple of monchies.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's good to see him back playing.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's always exciting and awesome to watch, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the Triple Z is a great player.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: And that's a good matchup personalities. But I like to
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: see Curios playing because then he's going to be fitter
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: for the doubles.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: True, Yeah, special K and the doubles. I'm ready for it,
• 22:10

  Speaker 1: We went and played on practice courts.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like where all the professionals are practice.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's people looking over at us like whiffing serves.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I think we were in the middle court.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, before we talk about our experience. Let's have
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a look at what happened at the one point slam.

• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I'm pumped.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to take.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: It super seriously. We immediately began training before being escorted
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: to court six, where we drank heavily and said the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: word tennis to calm our.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Nurse you in a million bucks. What are you gonna do?
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to quit the odd labor.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do all Oh wow, tennis. We also bumped
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: into an overconfident Dave Hughes. I hope we go up
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: against each other, So do I.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: If I go up against you on one step close,
• 24:15

• 24:15
  Speaker 3: A million dollars.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: And you need the money.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And Adam Hillsy Hills gave us no help whatsoever.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: What's your strategy today, Adam.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Strategy?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: My strategy is to not tighten up.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Oka say lose. Yeah, you think you might choke at
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: at one.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: First round, I had to play a pro, which is
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: total bullshit.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I'm here with SU's Loman's we're up against each other
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and the million dollar one point slam. She is a pro.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I am not, but anything can have any points, so
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see. I have the eye of the tiger.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I have.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I felt like a gladiator walking into the coliseum if
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I went the why because I'm the better tennis player.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I think I got she took one looking man. She
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: has that scame time, and I was feeling super positive.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Felt I received Susan hits the net and Goldstein advances.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I could practically taste the million one down forty to goo.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, not only Monster baking Man, maybe not baby.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know who I play? Really?

  Speaker 2: Soon? Have you got in the first round? A lazy
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not going on. I'm sorry. I am so nervous.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't really know what I was getting myself into
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: because I were like, yeah, you can play this. I'm like, yeah, sure,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: it'll be easier. And now I'm here and there's there's
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: pro tennis players here, there's people with like serious muscles,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: and I get to play. Comedian Davehews.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: One two three, but his pathetic little serve surprised me.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: You did it welcome.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I can't believe I lost to you, but I was
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: still alive, and Lizzie had that to look forward to.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Still on you, Mike, and I can't stick around because
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I gotta go walk my dog.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Tennis tennis. My time had finally arrived.

  Speaker 2: We've gotten my goldsteam once again.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: A comedian and one of our books of lavor Arena.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I felt extremely confident in going up against Coco goth
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: hitting partner. This is BS. I'm gonna complain to Craig Tyler.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: He's right up there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: The gestion box does not think JOCHI.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Allright, my gold is up ready. I can only assume
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Coco was cheering for me. I'm gonna go cry on
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the top for a while.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Whow that was awesome, Mike, what a time.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I looked a lot cooler in my mind.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: That was cool? Was it?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah? My form is terrible.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about that. You beat a pro.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I did beat a pro. I knocked a pro out
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: of a major tournament.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: You did, and then you got to go up against
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Coco Golf's hitting pun. I don't know if you get
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: as well, like in a sentence, yeah, you played Coco
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: go hitting.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I was also he's also I don't know if you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: could tell in the video, but one of the hottest
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: men I've ever seen. Yeah, I would turn by curios.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Oh really, we need to buy Curios button.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: What a day. It was such a good event. I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: know you're still reeling a little bit.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like it was.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: We were thrown into the thick of it. We were
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: We had no idea what we were getting into. We
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: get there after a quick hitting sash with Eliza West
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: start our guest on yesterday's app and I immediately see
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: some professional players, one in particular Pablo Corina Busta, who
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: was once top ten in the world as.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Recently casually hanging out.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Casually hanging out playing in the tournament. Surely like looking
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: around like I got this, yeah, yeah, And I was like,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: holy hell, there's some proper players in this.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then that was us us.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: The only other comedians in play were Adam Hills, as
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you saw in Dave Hughes and yeah, I was talking
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: to Adam Hills a lot.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what did he have to say, because he's
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: he plays tennis quite a bit.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: He does, Hughsey told me once because Adam Hills, you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: has a prosthetic foot and it's like a metal the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Blade Runner type thing. And Hughsey said he played Hillsey
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: on a day that was so hot, Adam Hills's foot
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: melted and he's he's you know, still claims he won
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the best.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he'll take anything.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was talking to Hilsey and he said he's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: been thinking about it for weeks. The strategy is to serve,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: to elect to serve. If you win Rock paper Scissors,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: why because then you can at least be in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: point if you roll it in. If you hit enough
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: of an easy serve, you're in the point. And he
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: thinks the percentages are higher. And then if they I know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I know, and then the pros get one serve, right,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So he thought if they land to serve, it's going
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: to be much harder to return, right. So he goes
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: out there with this, I'm gonna elect to serve. You know.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: There's a big cheer for Adam Hills. Uh, and he
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: double faults.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Strategy out the window the wind weeks of strategy planning
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: a whiteboard.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I heard.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Out on a double fault.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Well, at what point did you find out you were playing?
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Dave Hughes, Well, I looked they had printouts of the
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: drawer in that little area where we were sort of congregating,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and I just looked at the name and I'm like,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: hang on a minute, I'm thirty one is Lizzie who
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: thirty two is Dave Hughes? Am I playing Husy? And
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm playing Husy? And then I went up
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: to Husey. I was like, you're playing me? And the
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: look of disappointment on this guy's face because I think, actually, well,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: to be fair, I think he was like quite quite
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: excited because he knew he could get to the second round.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: But also I think he wanted to play a pro.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah really, yeah, you he hed Hugh No.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Hughsey's eyes lit up. Yeah, because he thought he had
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: more of a chance of getting through. But I also
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: thought it gave you a chance same, you know.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I also thought that because.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: When I saw my name, Susan Lemonz, I was like,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I know that name, and then I looked her up
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and she's been ranked as high fifty seventh in the world.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: She's not even in qualifying because she's already in the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: main draw of the Australian Open. A Dutch player. Very
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: nice and she was like, are you nervous? And I'm like, yeah,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm pretty nervous. But I feel like you'll
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: just kill me. And she's like, oh, I don't know,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and she was, you know, worried.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Did you get in her head?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I got in her head. I was playing my game
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: straight away. I was like, can I put some block
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: on your back? Fifty? And so I was. The nerves
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: didn't really hit me till I was out on court.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is more nerve wracking than any gig
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I've ever done.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a lot of people watch it a lot.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: You just don't want to double fault. I think that's
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: if you're serving, you don't want to double fault.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right, And so I was up before you, and
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: then I missed you a game. I was in the toilet.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in my head, that last shot I hit was
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a a real winner, a real winner, not a weird
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: lanky slice.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: She was probably like, I've never seen this shot before.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Well that's what she said.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: She was like. She was like, that short ball screwed
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: me up. I didn't know what the hell that was.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just threw some junk at her and then
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: she tried to drop shot her back hits the top
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: of the tape, and then she wasn't happy afterwards. Probably
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: didn't help that I ran around with my arms in
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the air.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: As you should, as is your right when you defeat
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a professional.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Thinking about it now, I should have kissed my bice absence.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, you should have. You should have done a few
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: push ups, taken your shirt off. Real football's like pomping. Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So, but the adrenaline was like through the roof.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I couldn't sleep last night. I know a man. I
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: woke up so many times. Think we're just replaying my
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: terrible points.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Well, run us through it, running through you and Hughsy.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Hughesy's obviously being Hughsy, just this obnoxious, frail
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: man like he loves that we're friends. We're okay, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm always excited to see him because he
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: looks like he doesn't have long to live.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is good. We only have so
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: much time.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: With the man.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: So look, let's give him his final wishes. We play.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: We do I reckon.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: We do.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Think the package didn't show it, but I reckon. We
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: did five rock paper.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: That was That was fun.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: That was probably really it was a great highlight.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Is it weird to know you and Hughes are on
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the same wavelane?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the chicks say, well, they're on the same waveleg. Oh,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we are, but yeah, maybe we're
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: we're dialed in you are.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are very similar comedically.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I talk about my kids and how many houses I
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: have for Crown, I got to work hus we do,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: we both do. But all so, he was talking a
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: lot of smacks. He was talking a lot of smack,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and then he couldn't decide whether he was going to
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: serve or not. And then he's like and he finally says,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and he says this pathetic, pathetic serve, And I was
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: standing too deep. I was like, oh no, oh no,
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have to do I had to do
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: a couple of strides and then I hit it. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: hit it too hard.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, went out, He coaxed in. It was a drop serve.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: He brings you in and then to handle it like
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you're kind of falling through the shot. And then just
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: pushed it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah too long. I know I needed more gentle touch.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: If I would do it again, I'd just stand further
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: in and just maybe just tap it back, make him run.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Get in his head. Yeah, your time is up, old man,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: is it? Yeah? Enough being on every single Channel.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Ten show, every single promotional thing you can be on.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: He was wearing his AFL Legends jerseys. He was famously
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: he cracked his ribs at the Legends match. Yeah, at
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: the Legends match. It isn't sorry. I was gonna say,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: if there's any overseas listeners, Hughsey is a big famous
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Australian comedian. Yes, just to clarify, yes, but he's also
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: brittle and frail. Yeah. I have way more bone density
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: than this guy.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If you would have served and if he if the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: ball hit him, he would have just been pulverized into dust.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe that's my strategy for next time. Aim for
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: his body and then he just disintegrates on court. And
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: but what about hitting against Cocoa Gov's hitting partners.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Well, so in the second round, I was up against
• 36:44

• 36:46
  Speaker 1: hottest men I've ever seen in my life. Yes, and
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: he uh, as you saw from the video, I thought
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I hit a decent backhand coming into the net. But
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: then he just smoked it down the line.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: You almost got there though, you weren't that far off.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that far off? Yeah, I'm just glad I didn't
