Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Welcome back to pod labor Arena. It's me Mike Goldstein
- 0:03Speaker 1: and the co host with the Mohost it's Lizzy. Yeah. Yeah, yes,
- 0:12Speaker 1: I should say congrats. Lizzie won the Pinder Prize Comedy
- 0:18Speaker 1: Festival John Pinder John Pinder after John Pinder.
- 0:23Speaker 2: One of the founders of the festival. Okay, they just
- 0:27Speaker 2: give me some cash to go to Edinburgh.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Great. Yeah, I know.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Weird thing was, I didn't know that I was getting
- 0:33Speaker 2: the award. I found out I was napping. Nice I
- 0:38Speaker 2: had my phone on airplane mode.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Whose show were you watching while you were napping?
- 0:43Speaker 2: One show? And I was just turned my phone record
- 0:46Speaker 2: and then they're like, hey, can you get in here?
- 0:48Speaker 2: And that was like from half an hour before. Like, no, yeah,
- 0:53Speaker 2: I'll miss the awards, but I think that's kind of
- 0:55Speaker 2: badass not to.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Go to completely. Yeah so you didn't even turn up
- 0:59Speaker 1: for it.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah that's that's cool.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Did someone have to accept in your place?
- 1:04Speaker 2: Yeah my friend did.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so they get like ten percent of it?
- 1:08Speaker 2: No, not at all.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Ah. Yeah, we are back. I've been playing a ton
- 1:16Speaker 1: of tennis despite this cold I can't shake. I just
- 1:19Speaker 1: take a ton of pseudo and then get out of
- 1:21Speaker 1: the court and run around.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Comedian Mike Goldsteine is just that a comedian. In this instance,
- 1:29Speaker 3: he is clearly joking about drug use. He doesn't condone
- 1:32Speaker 3: abusing pseudoephridrine, and he tells us he's been clean for
- 1:35Speaker 3: several weeks, but we can expect some trace elements in
- 1:39Speaker 3: his urine test.
- 1:41Speaker 2: It's not that your medicine choice, I guess.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I mean it's I can only show my driver's license.
- 1:47Speaker 1: So many times do they make sure drivers if you
- 1:50Speaker 1: buy pseudo you really haven't bought it in a long time.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Oh well, if you need some, I have got a stockpile. Yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Once again, Mike is taking a flight of fancy. None
- 2:02Speaker 3: of this is real.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Please don't be offended.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Or complain in any meaningful way that will jeopardize our jobs.
- 2:10Speaker 1: And I played the other day and it went to
- 2:13Speaker 1: the third set decider, and I was playing this guy
- 2:16Speaker 1: who's like six 't four massive serve lefty, so it's
- 2:20Speaker 1: kind of hard to deal with. But take him to
- 2:22Speaker 1: a third set tiebreak and I go, well, let's do
- 2:26Speaker 1: a super tie break first to ten points, win by two,
- 2:28Speaker 1: and he goes, no, no, no, I don't want to
- 2:30Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, and I'm like, come on,
- 2:32Speaker 1: it's the decider or whatnot. He goes, let's just do
- 2:34Speaker 1: a regular tie break to seven okay, and I go, no,
- 2:38Speaker 1: let's we'll go super. And then again, I'm arguing with
- 2:43Speaker 1: grown men every week outdoors in front of children usually,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and he goes, fine, Fine, we'll do the super tiebreak
- 2:50Speaker 1: versus ten. He gets to seven five, right, and he's like, well,
- 2:55Speaker 1: it should be over if we did a regular tie break,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and I go, yeah, but it's not.
- 2:59Speaker 2: We're doing this.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing the Super and then I ended up
- 3:02Speaker 1: winning twelve ten.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Oh you dick?
- 3:08Speaker 1: How am I dick in that situation?
- 3:10Speaker 4: No?
- 3:10Speaker 2: I guess I guess. Well, he's probably saying that he
- 3:14Speaker 2: was on the tie break.
- 3:16Speaker 1: No, because once you agree, there's an implicit.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So when was the agreement at.
- 3:21Speaker 1: The net before we started the tiebreak?
- 3:23Speaker 2: Okay?
- 3:23Speaker 1: Yeah, so he is contractually bound? Yeah he is, Yes,
- 3:27Speaker 1: how much I'd shelved a few pseudos and I was
- 3:34Speaker 1: I was flying and yeah, he was not happy and
- 3:42Speaker 1: kind of quietly gathered his stuff in. Uh, no way
- 3:45Speaker 1: exited the core.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Is this someone you play with regularly?
- 3:50Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a he's a teacher, so this was his break.
- 3:54Speaker 1: So it's whenever there's like, uh, do you.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Think you'll be hearing from him next school?
- 3:58Speaker 1: I think he should get out, But I am texting
- 4:03Speaker 1: him like, you know, trophies and you finger.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Real champ about.
- 4:07Speaker 1: It this stuff.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Oh no way.
- 4:14Speaker 1: This is a weird time in the tennis calendar, Lizzie,
- 4:17Speaker 1: because there's clay court tournaments happening with a lot of
- 4:21Speaker 1: five hundred in two fifties. Madrid has just kicked off.
- 4:25Speaker 2: This looks fun, Madrid.
- 4:26Speaker 1: It does look fun, and it is a it's the
- 4:30Speaker 1: one thousand joint event with a WTA and the ATP.
- 4:34Speaker 1: But before that, should we try this song? A very
- 4:37Speaker 1: short song. Okay, I'm a tennis girl in a tennis world.
- 4:44Speaker 2: It's fantastic. Go grab your racket and we're done.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Pie, Yes, we're peeping in the short and sweet I did.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I've been trolling through old YouTube clips and I did
- 4:56Speaker 1: see one person comment what's with these songs? Like what
- 4:59Speaker 1: does that have to do? We're clearly thinking about tennis.
- 5:02Speaker 1: But he's like they go so long.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Oh too long for him?
- 5:06Speaker 1: Well, so I'm letting one comment really sway, but we
- 5:12Speaker 1: should go the other way and do like full song,
- 5:14Speaker 1: a ballad, a ballad like American Pie, American Pie, the Hurricane.
- 5:21Speaker 2: November Rain, oh with the full solo yeah, also extended edit.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Extended yeah, yeah, so well, just some previous five hundreds
- 5:34Speaker 1: and two fifties that happened. Rebeccaha wins Stuttgart over the moot.
- 5:39Speaker 2: She's good.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she's.
- 5:42Speaker 2: This is her such good form.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I think she's kind of If she had won that
- 5:46Speaker 1: Indian Wells final against Sablenca, then she would really be
- 5:51Speaker 1: the obvious front runner this season, right because Sablanca has
- 5:55Speaker 1: taken a few tournaments off, Rebeccaena has kept playing, maybe
- 6:00Speaker 1: playing too much leading up to the French.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Oh you think.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I don't know. It might be a bit of fatigue,
- 6:05Speaker 1: especially if she's doing Madrid Rome and then obviously the French.
- 6:09Speaker 1: But she won over the mooch. We love the mooch
- 6:12Speaker 1: we do in front of the ship. It sounded like
- 6:14Speaker 1: trump there. We love the mooch, We love the mooch.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I love her.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Rebecca winning her second Porsche, as she has one Stuttgart
- 6:25Speaker 1: before the last time she went to Porsche and Stuckgart
- 6:28Speaker 1: she didn't have a jarver's license.
- 6:30Speaker 2: And she's got one.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Now she's got one.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Now do you think they keep them? Do you give
- 6:35Speaker 2: them to a relative or sell them or something?
- 6:38Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 6:39Speaker 2: Selling them a bit of bad taste, right, what would
- 6:43Speaker 2: you do? Probably sell it. I'm happy with my.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I'm not fitting even one Porsche in my studio apartment
- 6:52Speaker 1: parking space.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Ah.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and we should say that Mukhova, who you
- 7:02Speaker 1: know we called the mooch, we coined that term, is
- 7:04Speaker 1: also having a great season. I mean, she beat Coco
- 7:07Speaker 1: Golf in Sidelina en route to the final. Huge wins
- 7:10Speaker 1: for her. I don't think she'd ever beat Cocoa Golf before,
- 7:14Speaker 1: So she's looking great. Munich match up in the ATP
- 7:25Speaker 1: final was Shelton and Koboli. Yeah, so an American man
- 7:30Speaker 1: winning a clay.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Court tournament first time in a long time.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Yeah in Europe. I mean, I think Tommy Paul had
- 7:36Speaker 1: just won in the States, but this is big. I
- 7:41Speaker 1: mean I wasn't expecting it. And Koboli, you know, grew
- 7:45Speaker 1: up on the clay so it's interesting to see if
- 7:49Speaker 1: Shelton like pushes people that are there's a bigger draw,
- 7:54Speaker 1: say in the next couple of tournaments and Koboli I
- 7:58Speaker 1: thought was gonna he just beat Verev in the previous
- 8:01Speaker 1: in the semifinals, And then I love this that he
- 8:04Speaker 1: told his girlfriend, what's that about? To stay home the
- 8:07Speaker 1: next time.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Because bad luck well distracting.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I called yesterday.
- 8:12Speaker 5: My girlfriend said, please don't let me lose, but she
- 8:16Speaker 5: does so, so maybe next final you stay home.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I think if my wife is at a gig, my wife, yeah,
- 8:29Speaker 1: is that a gig? I feel like she's a jinx.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Really if it goes bad, I'm like, this is your
- 8:36Speaker 1: fault for being here. You don't have that with people.
- 8:41Speaker 2: No, I'm single, but when I had a partner, they
- 8:46Speaker 2: would come watch gigs. It was funny.
- 8:48Speaker 1: You said it in a fun way, and I got
- 8:50Speaker 1: a big laugh. He was like, you know, my girlfriend's here.
- 8:53Speaker 1: You know, maybe next time she stays home. So I
- 8:56Speaker 1: get that jinx thing, though you don't have any superstitions
- 8:59Speaker 1: like that.
- 9:00Speaker 2: I don't like my family sitting in the front, oh, like,
- 9:04Speaker 2: anywhere I can see them. I say, sit at the back.
- 9:07Speaker 2: They have to sit right at the back. And my
- 9:09Speaker 2: parents take that literally and they sit in the back
- 9:11Speaker 2: room right and they can't hear anything. They can't see.
- 9:16Speaker 2: But one of my uncles always comes and he sits.
- 9:20Speaker 2: He sits right at the front, right, And so I
- 9:23Speaker 2: get out there and I'm like, hello, Uncle Leo.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You're right there is Uncle Leo.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Yeah, side fun Uncle Lea. Hello.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Right, Well, Arthur Fee is one of Barcelona over rube Lev.
- 9:41Speaker 1: This is a straight Sid's victory. Arthur, Feez, he looks good,
- 9:45Speaker 1: he looks amazing.
- 9:46Speaker 2: What do you think for French?
- 9:48Speaker 1: I think he's quarterfinals? Maybe said a lot of pressure,
- 9:52Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. And it depends like if Djokovic
- 9:54Speaker 1: is playing and goes out early, he hasn't played much
- 9:57Speaker 1: at all. It depends if Alkaaz is playing. So what
- 10:02Speaker 1: side of the draw Fees ends up on. But to me,
- 10:04Speaker 1: Fees and Fonseka are the only two guys that seem
- 10:07Speaker 1: like even remotely competitive against the top two. And I
- 10:13Speaker 1: guess Verev obviously still floating around up there, but he
- 10:16Speaker 1: seems to be a real semi final choke specialist.
- 10:21Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I want him to go through, Okay,
- 10:25Speaker 2: I do all right? Yeah, I'd love to see him win.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Islam, would you.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 10:30Speaker 1: He got choked up just talking about it.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I know, I feel bad. I felt bad.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Ah right, yeah, he should have had that. Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah,
- 10:43Speaker 1: so some interesting results. Martikostyak one ruin. I hope I'm
- 10:48Speaker 1: saying that right. There was a two fifty event. It
- 10:50Speaker 1: was an all Ukrainian final. So we love mart A
- 10:54Speaker 1: Kostyak and good to see her win a title. Yeah.
- 10:58Speaker 1: So I think on the it's gonna be interesting going
- 11:01Speaker 1: into the French Open, on both sides in terms of injuries,
- 11:06Speaker 1: in terms of who's been playing too many tournaments, sabal
- 11:09Speaker 1: Anka has taken some gaps and I think that's probably
- 11:13Speaker 1: for the best. She's gonna be rested, and then Ega
- 11:16Speaker 1: is the dark horse.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Now yeah, yeah, I think she'll do well. Yeah, I
- 11:22Speaker 2: mean a little RAFA coach.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Yeah, the RAFA coaching. But then she went out to
- 11:26Speaker 1: Andreva in a yeah that few set match and that
- 11:31Speaker 1: was Stuttgart as well, Yeah, but indoor clay, and she
- 11:35Speaker 1: said she prefers to be playing outside.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Okay, okay, maybe she'll do well. Andreva looks good.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Too, yeah yeah, so I don't know Ega. Then the
- 11:45Speaker 1: RAFA coaching, who knows if that pays dividends, you would think, so,
- 11:50Speaker 1: like the King of Clay, give me tips. And then
- 11:53Speaker 1: we'll see what happened. She is playing in Madrid, and
- 11:58Speaker 1: Madrid already some fascinating storylines.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Yeah, like what is it crazy? There's the atmosphere seems wild.
- 12:08Speaker 1: I know.
- 12:09Speaker 2: I would like to go to this.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's all Spanish people. They've just had a
- 12:13Speaker 1: siesta on the on the same grias. They're going nuts
- 12:19Speaker 1: out there. It's Sunny trung Letti, who we talked about
- 12:22Speaker 1: last week as being a thirty six year old that
- 12:25Speaker 1: finally crowd the top one hundred. Uh dealing with Heckler's.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, look at him. He's asking basically asking someone in
- 12:33Speaker 2: the crowd to come down and fight him and fight
- 12:35Speaker 2: on the court.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Awesome, I love it. Wouldn't that make tennis so much.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Better if they were crowd fight?
- 12:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 12:41Speaker 2: Yeah, time, we just have to have a crowd.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Yeah. It say in the end of it set you
- 12:47Speaker 1: can the players can pick one person from the crowd.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Oh that was really annoying that. I would love to
- 12:52Speaker 2: do that in comedy, Oh the person that didn't laugh.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Wull shit, you would fight them?
- 12:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, don't put it pos just a little slap, yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 2: wake up?
- 13:04Speaker 1: Yeah, hey Trunga Leeddi absolutely screaming at someone in the
- 13:08Speaker 1: crowd to come down. And yeah, but obviously the tournament
- 13:13Speaker 1: organizers prevented any fisticuffs for altercations, which he probably knew
- 13:19Speaker 1: trunkle Eddy knew, Yeah, of course. Yeah. It's like when
- 13:22Speaker 1: you see two guys at a bar about to fight
- 13:24Speaker 1: and one says to his other buddy like, hold me back.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, don't know, Yeah, push him in, Yeah,
- 13:32Speaker 2: go for.
- 13:32Speaker 1: It, advocating violence on pod Labor Arena as Rod Laver's
- 13:39Speaker 1: legacy would love this to be under his name. Yeah,
- 13:49Speaker 1: I love Madrid and like, uh, there's a few veteran
- 13:54Speaker 1: players that are going out early. Yeah, the big story
- 14:00Speaker 1: line and the kind of debate which we brought up before.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Venus Williams uh got a wild card in and then
- 14:07Speaker 1: went out immediately in the first round to Covedo. Uh Covedo.
- 14:13Speaker 1: It was her first one thousand match win. But I
- 14:17Speaker 1: don't know, are these wildcards.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Reayeah, you don't want wildcats?
- 14:22Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, I mean she deserved looks, she's
- 14:25Speaker 1: had an epic career. She's a legend, you know, and
- 14:28Speaker 1: it just feels like, are you taking wild cards from
- 14:31Speaker 1: maybe an up and comer or.
- 14:33Speaker 2: New probably yeah, yeah.
- 14:34Speaker 1: And that deserves it more. And I mean, she's winning
- 14:39Speaker 1: a few games, but it's not competitive. And then she
- 14:43Speaker 1: did a favor for a fellow country woman, Haley Baptiste,
- 14:47Speaker 1: who played Covedo in the next round and then absolutely
- 14:50Speaker 1: destroyed her. So the debate now and you're seeing a
- 14:54Speaker 1: lot of chatter on a on line that they're saying,
- 14:58Speaker 1: what are we doing here? She's like, she could play
- 15:01Speaker 1: exhibitions and it's not really competitive. I don't know, how
- 15:07Speaker 1: do you feel.
- 15:07Speaker 2: I feel like she probably brings such a big crowd
- 15:10Speaker 2: you don't want to go see it. So give her
- 15:13Speaker 2: the wild cud.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Give her the wild card?
- 15:15Speaker 2: Yeah, she said, totally the last year of wild cards, right, Yeah,
- 15:20Speaker 2: I don't know if she'll keep going.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Could you keep going for a decade?
- 15:22Speaker 2: If it gets into next year, I'll be like, okay,
- 15:25Speaker 2: stop giving her the wild cut, Like this is a
- 15:27Speaker 2: wildcard year.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:29Speaker 2: I think she's trying to prove something. Yeah, and if
- 15:32Speaker 2: it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Yeah next year.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I've turned a corner on this
- 15:38Speaker 1: because I do want to see these legendary players. You know,
- 15:41Speaker 1: monkeys went out in the first round to go if
- 15:43Speaker 1: I Rinka's not even playing Madrid, Yeah, but he kind of.
- 15:47Speaker 1: He got to the round of thirty two in Barcelona,
- 15:51Speaker 1: and I'm watching these players that you know, I've been
- 15:54Speaker 1: watching for the past fifteen twenty years, and as a
- 15:57Speaker 1: middle aged man myself, I'm like, I do want to
- 16:00Speaker 1: see them keep going and win. And so maybe I've
- 16:03Speaker 1: changed my tune to rage against the retirement light. Yeah.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Next week's song.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Yeah, rage against the retirement light. Do not go quietly
- 16:18Speaker 1: into that good night session.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Beautiful was Mike's poetry.
- 16:26Speaker 1: I think it's hard. It's like our parents refusing to
- 16:29Speaker 1: turn their driver's license over. That's basically, Yeah.
- 16:33Speaker 2: That needs to happen ASA.
- 16:42Speaker 1: So other things happening at Madrid. The Aussie women absolutely
- 16:49Speaker 1: ship the bed. Yeah, they are out first round. They're
- 16:53Speaker 1: all crashed out. So Talia Gibson, Katie Burrell, Isla tom
- 16:59Speaker 1: Lanovic all out in Kazukino was the most heartbreaking.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that was close. Yeah, she had a bunch of
- 17:06Speaker 2: trying to see her do well. She's had a bit
- 17:08Speaker 2: of a rough start to the year.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of match points can convert fifteen to
- 17:15Speaker 1: thirteen in the final tiebreak. Yeah, so she went out
- 17:22Speaker 1: to Daria Snigour, who then played Igo Shawantek in the
- 17:27Speaker 1: next round and got absolutely trounced.
- 17:29Speaker 2: She's not looking good. Do you think it's just the clay.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe a hangover from the Billy Jean King Cup, Like, yeah,
- 17:37Speaker 1: it's not looking great and yeah, not being raised playing
- 17:40Speaker 1: on clay and so not a surface they're comfortable with. Yeah,
- 17:45Speaker 1: so I think there's still I know Alexei Popperin went out,
- 17:50Speaker 1: but I think it's Sinner's tournament to lose. So yeah, yeah,
- 17:55Speaker 1: sits a Pass of course, had drama as he always
- 17:59Speaker 1: does the King Dad at every match. Yeah, and he's
- 18:04Speaker 1: chattering away and it finally costs it to pass a point.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Oh yes, the warning that was in the previous set.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Now he gets to the point penalty.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Yes.
- 18:21Speaker 1: So we have some footage here of Si Pass who's
- 18:25Speaker 1: playing American Patrick Kipson, and I don't know if you've
- 18:28Speaker 1: seen Kipson before, but he's like a giant hunky pirate. Yeah,
- 18:36Speaker 1: he's quite rating specimen. I'm just gonna start doing hunk
- 18:41Speaker 1: watch on the show, and I think, uh.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he's a little bit pirate, Like.
- 18:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a real uh Jack sparrow thing, very.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Like has he got eyeliner on?
- 18:52Speaker 1: I think he used to be wearing eyeliner.
- 18:56Speaker 2: He was chatting all through the point to his dad
- 18:59Speaker 2: and then the umpire cold and ct beuz is like
- 19:02Speaker 2: he doesn't mind.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:04Speaker 2: He was trying to say, like the other player is
- 19:06Speaker 2: fine with it, yeah, and the like really, I.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Think Patrick Gibson said, are you serious? What in other
- 19:22Speaker 1: news curios?
- 19:26Speaker 2: Yes, he's coming back.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Yes, are you by curios? Yeah?
- 19:32Speaker 2: I am by curios to see if this is for real? Yeah,
- 19:36Speaker 2: because I feel like he does. He comes back old time.
- 19:40Speaker 1: He comes back all the time. But he's played just
- 19:42Speaker 1: seven singles matches between January twenty twenty three and April
- 19:46Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
- 19:47Speaker 4: Wow.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not a lot.
- 19:50Speaker 1: He's not going to be a match fit at all.
- 19:52Speaker 1: I think he loves the grass and he I think
- 19:56Speaker 1: is one holiday before the Germany crass Court tournament and
- 20:00Speaker 1: the lead up to like his best run to the
- 20:03Speaker 1: Wimbledon final. But is this how do you feel? Do
- 20:08Speaker 1: you feel like this is him just money?
- 20:09Speaker 2: Can't keep plugging barbecues. Yeah, he's going to get back
- 20:12Speaker 2: on the court.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 20:14Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I don't think he's gonna
- 20:17Speaker 2: be back for long.
- 20:18Speaker 1: No, if he makes a proper run at it, you'd
- 20:21Speaker 1: have to start training like every day, NonStop from now.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Obviously slipping slipping.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Slipping, slip, what is it? Sounds like, what was that
- 20:33Speaker 2: meant to be?
- 20:34Speaker 1: Skipping?
- 20:34Speaker 2: Oh? Skipping?
- 20:35Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he's skipping all the clay cords because
- 20:38Speaker 1: he hates clay. And then uh, yeah, we'll see if
- 20:41Speaker 1: he can make a run at all on grasp but
- 20:44Speaker 1: I doubt it. And on bald Watch, Currios has hard
- 20:47Speaker 1: launched his shiny bald head, popping the hat off and clips.
- 20:54Speaker 1: He's posted to Instagram, so we'll see if that gets
- 20:56Speaker 1: a run. And you know he's he's out there with
- 20:59Speaker 1: the he wants to play night matches, so it shines
- 21:02Speaker 1: off his head and distracts his opponent. That was bald
- 21:05Speaker 1: Watch Watch, Lizzie. I don't know if you saw this,
- 21:14Speaker 1: but uh, the NC Double A Tennis champions, the Georgia

- 29:26Speaker 1: Yeah here are you backing in that?
- 29:27Speaker 5: I mean I gonna go Aussie way for sure, But
- 29:30Speaker 5: Cinner and Carlos have definitely drawn me into tennis a
- 29:32Speaker 5: lot more in these last couple of years, for sure.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Do you play?
- 29:35Speaker 5: I don't. I've got up. This might be controversial, but
- 29:38Speaker 5: I play a little paddle, play little paddle really bad
- 29:41Speaker 5: at tennis, though really bad. I think it's transferable, though
- 29:45Speaker 5: you probably dominated We're gonna have to get into it.
- 29:47Speaker 5: Maybe no pickleball, No pickle I can't. I don't know,
- 29:53Speaker 5: no mud to pick up. Well, I live in California.
- 29:56Speaker 5: At the moment, everybody plays pickable like all my friends
- 29:59Speaker 5: do as well?
- 29:59Speaker 1: Are you huge? Bobby Riggs Tennis Center is now all pickle.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Like even the tennis like a couple of places where
- 30:08Speaker 5: we play golf at homes got huge pickleball courts now
- 30:11Speaker 5: with the tennis courts and all that stuff.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Do you play golf? Play a lot of golf?
- 30:14Speaker 1: Well, okay, let me see what you think about this,
- 30:16Speaker 1: because I play a little pickleball. But once I heard
- 30:19Speaker 1: someone put it this way, it made me question ever
- 30:22Speaker 1: doing it again. I heard that pickleball is the roller
- 30:27Speaker 1: blading and as tennis is the skateboarding.
- 30:35Speaker 5: If that's the case, I might never pick up the
- 30:37Speaker 5: racket myself.
- 30:38Speaker 1: But it really ruins it.
- 30:41Speaker 5: It does. But you know, I can see what the
- 30:44Speaker 5: appeal is in pickle is really fast paced. You know,
- 30:46Speaker 5: you're quite close quarters with everyone. You know, balls back
- 30:49Speaker 5: and forth and stuff, so it's entertaining for sure.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, and you go back and forth to the States.
- 30:53Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm back and forth all the time. So you
- 30:55Speaker 5: got to the dual city beautiful? Yeah, yeah, let's go.

- 31:05Speaker 1: Guys, No, you got to get that double pass for it.
- 31:12Speaker 1: You feel like Jason Bourne.
- 31:14Speaker 5: Now, it's just makes it really easy to like, especially
- 31:17Speaker 5: traveling out of America to like Europe and stuff, It's
- 31:19Speaker 5: easy to just go.
- 31:20Speaker 2: On showing off. It's rude.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's awesome to have you here. I wanted
- 31:29Speaker 1: to ask this is maybe in the weeds a little
- 31:30Speaker 1: bit with skateboarding. I skated when I was growing up
- 31:34Speaker 1: for years, you know, but now I'm an old piece
- 31:36Speaker 1: of ship.
- 31:38Speaker 5: That's cool.
- 31:38Speaker 1: But I still love, you know, watching it, follow all
- 31:41Speaker 1: the skaters on on Instagram. I know Chris Joslyn recently
- 31:45Speaker 1: three sixty flipped Al Toro.
- 31:46Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I'm really glad.
- 31:49Speaker 1: You know.
- 31:49Speaker 5: I always was one of the people that thought he
- 31:51Speaker 5: landed it back in the day because his truck broke
- 31:53Speaker 5: when he landed, that's right, so he like fell after
- 31:57Speaker 5: riding away, and then he went back and did it.
- 31:58Speaker 5: And I'm really stoked for the guy, cause, like we
- 32:00Speaker 5: ride for the same energy drink, so we do a
- 32:02Speaker 5: lot of stuff together. He's a great dude, a good
- 32:04Speaker 5: family guy at home. Yeah he works.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Hard, oh man, and it's amazing. Yeah, like the ankle,
- 32:09Speaker 1: how old is he?
- 32:10Speaker 5: Dude, He's got to be rude, but yeah he definitely
- 32:13Speaker 5: is up there a little bit no.
- 32:14Speaker 2: No, no, I don't like, yeah, a little bit too old.
- 32:19Speaker 5: No, I was gonna say mid thirties.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Possibly, Yeah, fuck I feel old, I know, yeah real,
- 32:26Speaker 1: maybe for Justin's sake, because yeah, he's still killing it
- 32:30Speaker 1: against all the younger dudes as well. Right, well, I'm
- 32:32Speaker 1: forty four. What would happen if I tried the three
- 32:34Speaker 1: sixty flip toro?
- 32:36Speaker 5: It's definitely like to be a little brutal, but you
- 32:39Speaker 5: would snap it out because my buddy still breaks and
- 32:43Speaker 5: I'm meant to be a professional at it.
- 32:45Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but like, I mean, what were you
- 32:47Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty two, right, and you're surfing as well?
- 32:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean growing up in the Gold Coast, you
- 32:53Speaker 5: know my whole childhood, surfing was a big part of
- 32:56Speaker 5: my life with my parents. You know, both my parents surf.
- 32:58Speaker 5: My younger brothers surf, so big family of surfers. Snowboarding, yeah, big,
- 33:02Speaker 5: big time snowboarding. I love it. Yeah. I tried to
- 33:05Speaker 5: try to do all the board sports. Snowboarding, I like
- 33:07Speaker 5: think I'm better at it, and then I always hurt myself.
- 33:08Speaker 5: So I'm like, oh, it feels like I'm on my skateboarding, then.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Try the same tricks on the snowboard.
- 33:13Speaker 5: Yes, and then I've broken my collar bone. So we've
- 33:17Speaker 5: put we've we've we've put the snowboarding progression on hold
- 33:20Speaker 5: for a little while. Just you know, more fun now,
- 33:23Speaker 5: just cruising.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of for sure.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Pickleball is boogie boarding and surfing is no.
- 33:30Speaker 5: But it's funny. Yeah, it's funny.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we want to do this game with shut up.
- 33:38Speaker 1: We've obviously I haven't had a pro skater on the show.

- 34:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 34:01Speaker 5: And then I used to ride for Flip back in
- 34:02Speaker 5: the day, so.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, I know Lance Tom Penny was oh.
- 34:05Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the greatest of all times, the NFL chack.
- 34:11Speaker 5: These names are very credible names, I know, like is
- 34:15Speaker 5: it's like, you know, are very credible names in the industry.
- 34:17Speaker 1: So like I heard it here.
- 34:19Speaker 5: First, Yeah, it's good.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Yeah, Kigan Palmer says, I'm a legit.
- 34:23Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got good credit.
- 34:25Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll try this game. We have a sheet for
- 34:30Speaker 1: you somewhere that's got a bunch of uh the yep,
- 34:33Speaker 1: that one there, so I have a quick look. Don't
- 34:37Speaker 1: say any of it out loud. What you're gonna do
- 34:39Speaker 1: is throw one from each column at Lizzie. She's going
- 34:43Speaker 1: to say whether it's a real skateboard trick or not.
- 34:45Speaker 1: This is going to be correct, and then to test
- 34:47Speaker 1: how's your tennis knowledge?
- 34:49Speaker 5: Yeah that this is going to be not the great
- 34:51Speaker 5: not the greatest.
- 34:51Speaker 1: She's gonna throw real and fake tennis player names you
- 34:56Speaker 1: and you got to tell us whether they're real or so. Kagan,
- 35:00Speaker 1: you start.
- 35:01Speaker 5: All right, three sixty flip reeal or fake?
- 35:06Speaker 1: Real? We're just talking about it.
- 35:11Speaker 5: I don't imagine that it was three sixty flip is
- 35:13Speaker 5: a trade flip?
- 35:14Speaker 2: So oh yeah, that's why I was going to go cue.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Yeah that's what I usually call it.
- 35:19Speaker 1: Yeah, Lizzie, Uh, you give Kegan a tennis player that
- 35:22Speaker 1: could be real or fake.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Okay, Katie Volley nets.
- 35:27Speaker 5: It has to be fake? Is it fake?
- 35:29Speaker 2: Real? Really?
- 35:31Speaker 1: The trick?
- 35:36Speaker 2: Sorry?
- 35:37Speaker 1: No, you're good. I was like, fifty fifty.
- 35:39Speaker 5: I was like, are they tricking me?
- 35:41Speaker 2: Or is it it?
- 35:42Speaker 5: Is it not real?
- 35:43Speaker 1: Well there you go, fifty to fifty real skateboard trick
- 35:46Speaker 1: or not?

- 35:55Speaker 5: laugh when I read yeah your because they're pretty good.
- 36:03Speaker 5: Stale fish real.
- 36:05Speaker 2: A fake, fake, it's real. What does that look like?
- 36:12Speaker 5: So if you skate with your right foot forward, you're
- 36:15Speaker 5: grabbing behind your heel, like by your heel with your
- 36:19Speaker 5: left hand.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's it pretty much.
- 36:21Speaker 5: While doing it, I say, that's like I could do it.
- 36:25Speaker 5: And then you're while you're doing a little era out
- 36:28Speaker 5: of the transition.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Yeah all right, so right now, keeping tally. You've got
- 36:32Speaker 1: one wrong, Kegan, You've got one wrong. So uh another
- 36:36Speaker 1: one from Lizzie?
- 36:37Speaker 2: Okaykean, what have we got here? Felix boom gator.
- 36:45Speaker 5: I've got a fifty to fifty chance of guessing, So
- 36:47Speaker 5: I got to go for it here at this point,
- 36:51Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with true. You've got a good perk
- 36:58Speaker 5: face over there. You play pokon No I should.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, one more each and then we'll settle
- 37:04Speaker 1: this on the King Kong table.
