• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, okay.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The guy I played tennis with in New York, yes,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: who I've known forever. He's a very good friend. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you know, he starts telling me about his dating life,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and erol. I think I've told you this story, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like no one's been able to really figure it out.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, have you had a female POV yet? No.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: He had been on a few days with a girl
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and then, you know, had been to her place and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: broke up with her because he found coins all over
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the shower floor and could not get a rational explanation
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: out of her as to why and how is this?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Witch? Girls?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I mean is that the what is going on?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Leans on their shower?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And he said what he asked her, you know, point blank.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He was like, why is there change all over the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: floor in the shower? And she was like, oh, sorry,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm a bit I'm a bit messy, I'm a bit dirty, Like,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. He was like, wha, but how
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: did they end up.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: In the shower?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah? That is wild world explanation? Could there be? And
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: did it warrant breaking up with someone over? It's so?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I mean it's yeah. I think as you get older,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the ix become yeah, like.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That, it's a spisode.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It was coin coins on the floor.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I can't explain it. Who are these people? Yeah?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Where are the coins from?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know how the coins would get into the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: shower unless she's taking her clothes off in the shower
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and the coins full out.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But who does that?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Everybody does that? That's crazy. Let's break up a bullet fence. Yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: or she's washing the coins. Maybe I'm thinking there's some
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: sort of witchcraft involved. That's my only Well, it's like
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: her crystals are coins.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: You're saying all women take part in the dark arts.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had it here first.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Tennis ad Jason.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Tay table take Tao, Tame mo, tame take.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: We have so many things to talk about. Grass season
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: is in full swing. Yes, a lot of great tournaments happening.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I do love how Queens goes back to back with uh.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It starts with the women's tournament, and then I had
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the men's one starts started today or yesterday. So yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and Queens is a solid tournament.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Beautiful looks beautiful, doesn't it. And you see like there's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: all these houses around and people just like sitting in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: their windowsills watching the tennis.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the like I talked about last week,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the change of just scenery of going from the orange
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: clay to you know, the back grass. And Okay, my
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: wife put it this way. She noticed I was watching
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: some grass tournament and she goes, oh, the flavor of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the floor has changed.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I love that you. Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I said what are the flavors and she said clay
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is chocolate, she said, uh, grasses like lime all line
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and then uh and then the hardcourts are blueberry. Oh yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So the let's start with the women's uh Ratikanu and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Donna Vek.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Vick, I love Veck with her diamonds.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You know, she was a lucky loser for this tournament, really, Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: she didn't get through qualifying, and then Marta Caustick pulled
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: out of the tournament and then so Donna got in
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and then up winning the whole thing. Love that pretty great,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Pretty great, And the way she played in that first
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: set of the final. Yeah, and also because she is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: i think ranked thirty three, so she'll go into Wimbledon unseated,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: so she's just gonna wreak havoc if she keeps this form.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I love that, I know. And she absolutely dominated. There's
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a bagel in the first set against rat Kanu, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: then rata Kanu was up five to two in the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: second and then let it slip away.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Something happening in there, yeah as well, odd nerves, Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think that was it. But then also she had
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a great week. There is of course, you know, British
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: commentators going this is it. She's going to make a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: deep round Wimbledon. She's back, and she did have a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: good week and was kind of cruising, but then lucky
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: loser Donna Vekage, Yeah, changed all of that. Yeah, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Beckage has an awesome game it's you know, power off
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the wings and then that dropshot just comes out of nowhere.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And if she can, like I said, maintain that form,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, she's gonna have a good wimbled.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Please give it up?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: For please give it up?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: What is the countdown to wimbled in a couple of weeks?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: A couple of weeks?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Holly, Hally? How do we say it? Hally? Helly?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Halle Berry, halle Berry, hollow Hall, Helly, Helly. Should I
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: look it up?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You can't? How Hall Hall. Maybe we could just call
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it the Tara Whartman Open.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Give it up?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So big? The Hall Open known as the Tara Wartman
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Open has started in Germany and already one big result
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: TFO taking out Kabali. I know. That's I believe his
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: first top ten win of the season for TFO and
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Kabali is coming off getting to the United Finals. Eh yeah, yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So Holley is one of those tournaments where the shadow
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and the way that it's broadcast makes it a hard watch.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And it's a shame because it is grass we're talking about,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: how you know, it's a joy to watch. But then
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: this tournament, for whatever reason, they're like we'll do one
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: camera fixed at the back of the court, but like
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: up in the nosebleed section.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Budget cuts.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows what's going on? Just come on, Tara Whartman,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: whoever you are warman? Is it some German term? Yeah?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And other results well, we should say with the Queen's
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Tournament on the women's draw. Also a big upset was
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Katie Bolter beating Rebeccina.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, which is huge, and that again hometourf Yeah,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: but she capitalized.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the changing of the surface like has worked out
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: well for her and for her fiance is well.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Usually when she wins, he wins.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It's true. Yeah, they're in sync.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: They are, which is good for them. Yeah, because they're
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: getting married.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: If she sang moute moute, moute moota, he would sing.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Kirie Sadly, we're spending more time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Together before we get the demon our Ben Shelton winning
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the stuff gart boss open.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You love Ben.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I love Ben, and he played you know, fellow American
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Taylor Fritz. It's just trying so are not to say
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: swift every time? It's hard, it is.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, the poor guy, because we asked him that,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: how many times do you get called tailor Swift and
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: he said all the time.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Well, he said, I don't know, man, like I guess,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: like our name sounds similar. I just play video games
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and go to round stairs.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Bro, I mean outside of tennis, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: play video games.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: He's sad. We'll give him that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: He is. He went through a breakup, but he did
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: make the finals up the Boss Open, and it was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: three sets, but not I don't know, the most compelling
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of tennis. Obviously. Both guys have huge serves, which on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Grass I mean short points. And then Shelton, you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: did save match points on his way to the title,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and his girlfriend was there. I think we'll get into
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that later. Yeah, that's girlfriend, Trinity Rodman. She is fantastic.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But I think the best match of that tournament was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Shelton Leahechka in the previous round the semifinals, three tie
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: break sets and the middle set went to sixteen to fourteen. Yeah,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting. It's his first Grass title
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how he does, you know, going into
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the big shows.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: He's chance for finals.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Or like second week, Yeah, second second one. I think
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting, Like I mean, sinners, maybe doing
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: one lead up to two tournaments.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Obviously Alcoraz isn't playing any of the Grass season, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I think we talk about her every time. Djokovic wants
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that twenty five Yeah so badly. He's the opposite of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: DiCaprio in that twenty five is a number he wants
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to see. Oh yeah yeah. And then well let's talk
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: about this the big comeback. Was it a comeback? Yeah?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: He was a comeback.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We said last week that Serena.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Coming back overshadowed it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that was in his favor now
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that I think about it, because he didn't get that attention,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: which is probably good. He slipped under the radar a bit,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and he was so good. Yeah, he looked great.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, moute. He took out in straight sets, yeah, which
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think most people expected. Just saw on match
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: fitness and practice and everything.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: They're very complimentary of each other.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Because they have this style that I love to watch,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and Bubblock has it as well. Just crafty, tricky, annoying
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: cats in your head. And so when you get two
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: players of that same disposition, I think they appreciate it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah, they were always clapping each
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: other like, oh yeah, nice one, well done.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of love that. It's great. Yeah, and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it's if they're both trying, it's amazing.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's true.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: These guys that play this style will just tank a
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: match every now and again and be like, eh, yeah,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I want to go play Warcraft. Ye yeah to Tyler.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I got to take a PJ to Tyler.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: That was good, thank you. Then Kurios came up against
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the Japanese player.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Show show.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah is his first name? Yeah, yeah, wish they put last,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: and I thought he was going to bat him. He
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: looked like it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He won the first set, right, and then just kind
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of fell away. Maybe that's the fitness, yeah, coming into play.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And then but this guy was a qualifier show and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: he pushed everyone he played and uh Carryos was also
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: in the doubles with Public fun Boo we dubbed.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, go, we're at a sink.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And they won their first one and then I think
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: they just like called it quits for the next round.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Oh he he woke up sick, but which sounds like
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to me he went.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Out night Yeah, well speculation.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it just kind of I did check his Instagram.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, there and he shuts at a pub
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: because you know before he played doubles here and I
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: was open, he was out. Oh yeah, he must have
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: been out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: He loves this is interesting. The Holiday tournament is also
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: doing a one point challenge.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, that's not fair?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Can can tournaments do that? Can tournaments steal other tournament's ideas?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I guess so. I mean they can't call it a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Slam because they are not a Slam, So they're like
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a one point five hundred event. Yeah, it is so.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I mean we've partaken in at one point challenge as
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it were, so and it is fun and it gets
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: people involved, but keep it Slam based. I wouldn't mind
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: if French Open or Wimbledon or the US did it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I think Wimbledon takes itself maybe too seriously and then this.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Bad taste.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what else are they going to rip off?
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Shake Check Music Festival.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: There's going to be a German arena.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what would it could be called?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: East Pod Tommy Haasa podcast. I almost shot on my pants.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Fans fans, fans, fans, fans, fans, fans.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Just want to quit tennis right now?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So the Liebima Open. I'm calling it because the
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: van Hoggen Bosh and Dashian. I never know. I can't
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: pronounce these things. The thing is, I think with tennis,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and we should have figured this out by now, is
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: just go with whatever pronunciation feels right, right, yeah, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: just say it confidently. And then if people are like, oh,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: it's actually uh Jean Pierre Pericarde and you're like, oh no,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: it's yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: There's basic names, like if you're saying Ben Shelton wrong, how.

• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Polish tennis having a moment. Yeah, Kleinsko, Yeah, I mean,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but okay, Kawalinska in the final, Yes, Roland Garros and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: then now Camille my Shock, like pushing top ten players
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and winning a final Libima Open. Not the two Polish
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: players you'd expect, not Eaga Spontek and not Hubie Hurkats,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: but these two players are true coming through. Yeah, how
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: would Hube sound about that?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I am going to Libimo.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: That. I'm just proud of the parts players play very
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: well and my country hit the ball over there all right.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the grass tournaments are coming thick and fast
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and we cannot wait to watch it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Know what I love about gross? My favorite thing is
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: the sound.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the sound is so cool right off the racket,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: like yeah, kind of river breaks true, just like, oh hey, somemr.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: That's like a pucker. We really need another slam to starts.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: We can't stop mispronouncing these weird champions, you know.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: But of course, uh Camille my Shaka Poland beat our
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: very own Alex Demonar in the final, another three set
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: battle which went to a tie break there in the end,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: but uh fortunately Demonar not able to get it done.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But has he returned to some prior form I think
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, it's gotta be surface based again, right,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Like he just doesn't love the clay and then he's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: just playing great now on grass, which is good and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I think he's the great Aussie hope going in to
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the championship.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Demon will Kurios get a wildcat food Wimbledon or something.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: The wild cards will be announced this week, but we
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: do not know yet what they will be. I imagine
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Kurios will be. I imagine he's playing these lead up
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: tournaments to be like on the hope of yeah and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I'm serious and yeah, to get him in the Roland
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Garrison final, both the men's and women's. Unfortunately, the least
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: watch final in twenty years.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Is that because the big dogs weren't in it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a huge part of it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I think world sport. Obviously there's a lot going on.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: The NBA finals, Old Cup starting hadn't officially started yet,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: but I mean it was still I think people's attention
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: was elsewhere. And obviously, if you're comparing it to last
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: years Rolling Garris Finals, Sabalanca, VI Goff and alcaraz V Center,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: that's box office, yeah that is, and then this one
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it's like Zverev and Koboli just didn't draw the same attention.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: And obviously Polish fans were watching the hell out of
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Kulenska playing in it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Sad.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I yeah, obviously I don't love it. You just want
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: it to be Every Slam should be super popular, I think,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I feel.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Like the lead up was really popular though.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well I think all the upsets and the yeah
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: in the first week, Yeah, people loved it. But I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: just think once the kind of headline names drop out,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the ones that are household names, that like Djokovic and Center,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and people are like, yeah, I'll watch something else. Yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: But also Nixon five of our producer not happy about it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: He's anti Nicks and unfortunate news. Uh and Boco injured
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: her knee. This is another pitfall. Well, one of the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: biggest pitfalls of the grass season is the knees. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it's sad from Boco. She's pulled out of Wimbledon now
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: because of the injury at.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Queen's and so Serena couldn't play the doubles without it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: They rules first match. I think it's who you enter
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the draw with. You have to play on, you carry on. Yeah,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you can't just sub people in.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: How bad would you feel?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: But I think they got that match in. There was
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: plenty of practice and now Serena's teaming up with the moot.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did not see that coming.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah, I think that's going to be
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: a nice pairing.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: That'll be great.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: The mooch, I didn't know. Do you think they're close?

• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I saw this come up on my Instagram. It was
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: a little clip from a coach discussing what is harder
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: tennis or golf.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Tennis it's the single hardest sport in the world. There's
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: so many different skills you have to have. You essentially
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: have to be ambidex sous. You have to have be
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: able to swing with power off both sides. You have
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: to be able to volley. You have to be able
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: to hit overheads. You have to be able to serve
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: hit returns. People when they try to say, like golf
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: is as technically difficult, golf isn't even close. You're going
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: to say that getting para cards served back is as
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: hard as playing golf. The guy serves one hundred and
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: fifty miles an hour, Like, give me a break.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: It's interesting.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking about it. I'm only thinking about
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: ball and racket or ball and stick sports in the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: same category. Yeah, yeah, And then I thought about hurling.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen hurling?
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I believe so the Irish game, which is explain it
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: They have a stick like a long paddle and a
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: really hard ball and they hit it like a tennis
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: like a tennis movement, but then they also have to
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: bounce it on the ground and carry it. I feel
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: that is more skillful than ten and golf.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: You heard it here first curling. This this is the curling. Well,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: this is the combative argument of stuff that goes viral,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: right because our one of our biggest clips is getting
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Tommy Hawss to say pickle wake up every morning comments,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: So now you know, but you'll get some hurling fans
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I will and.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: That Irish remember that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, interesting though, because I feel like it's a debate
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: that doesn't really I mean, he's obviously biased because.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: He's not apples for apples.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: No, I mean tennis like tennis and pickleball, there's an
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: obvious crossover, but tennis and golf, I don't know.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Very different games. He's right, you don't have someone like
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: coming at you. But you you mind your mind. Oh, shit,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I feel I'm gonna say tennis.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Tennis, Okay, I you know, obviously I'm biased. I would
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: say tennis over golf. I mean, you know, you're not
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: in a tennis court on a little cart drinking beers. Yeah,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: but this is how we go viral again. We have
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a debate about what is harder or what is not.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I also will throw in their hockey.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: What do you call it when the score is forty forty?
