• 8:02
  Speaker 2: best cities in the world.

  Speaker 2: People would hate that. I think if we said up
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: a Patreon just for something nice. You know, it's not
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: like help help I lost my leg, Help I lost.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: My Maybe we need to shock attack, we need a
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: shark attack.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Lose a leg?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whose age, I'll do it?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: You will you lose a leg?
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah? For us for the pud whoa did I tell
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: you that?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Like to death or just I think.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It actually would be a pretty cool way to go. Yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: or and if you didn't completely die, you get on
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the speaker's circuit and you'd make a ton of cash.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the limb you would be willing to sacrifice
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to be a leg le. Okay, it's not bad. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: mean that brings us to Adam Hills, who famously got
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: his foot chomped off by but he was in the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: one point slam with us.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: He was, and we chatted beforehand and he had a
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: full strategy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: His strategy was I'm going to serve. You know, I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: thought about it. He's talking to a coach. He's been
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: thinking about it for weeks. And then he double faulted
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and he went out and it was very funny to me.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It was, what's his show? He's on some big show,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the last leg.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: It's his own show that's been running for years in
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the UK. He's like huge in the UK. And he
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: must have played some footage of the one point slam. Well,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I noticed you in the background.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm standing there.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I wish I could zoom in because you're obviously chocolate.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: You're laughing. But he only plays footage of one serve.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he plays footage of one serve because they then
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: call it foot fall on him and then his big
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: joke is like, oh football got out.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: On a foot fall. But he'd actually double before.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Help of faulting. So we know the truth.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: We know the truth. Adam Hills.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: We're Adam Hills Truthers. We know what really happened. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: then I'm in the background and so it was my
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: big debut on uk TV.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just in the background with your arms crossed
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: and I reckon you just went like.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It was so good. But I'm gonna use the last
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: leg as a credit now so you can come see
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Mike g from the last leg in Perth this week.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah.

• 12:02
  Speaker 8: of the best things I've seen since the Australian Open finished.
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: French tennis star Ugo Umbert checked his phone deep into
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: a match against Adrian Mariano in the Montpelier tournament and
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: then he lost like the next handful of points and
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: lost the match.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Ooh, I know, I want to know what he checked.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I think he was sending you a rya message.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, I hope so no one else has got as
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: if I would have told you about that, it would
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: have already talked about that happened.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Ugo.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he bit on something on eBay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Or Yeah, what would make you check? Because even when
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I played tennis, like, I love the freedom of not
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: looking at my phone, So say I played to our match,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: it just stays in the bag the whole time.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: It have to be pretty serious.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I would have to be waiting on a job or
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: something that I really wanted, and then I was getting
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the result that day, right, and I would keep checking
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: my phone or something like that. It would have to
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: be good news. I'm not checking my phone mid tie break.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But how do you know if it's bad, good or bad?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Until you check?
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: It's I'm always getting a job, Mike, I didn't think
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: about that. Yeah, you know when I do check my
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: phone a lot is when I post a comedy reel.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm like, is this going to go?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: So maybe he's posted something on Instagram, like a new
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: sponsorship or something, and he's he's thinking, I gotta land
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: this deal.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Well do you think he then choked on the next
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: few points because it was bombing negative likes? My god, yougo,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: what have you done? I think, Yeah, I mean I've
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: had that before. Well, I post like a comedy reel
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: right before I get on stage, just do a gig,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and then the gig goes badly, and then I get
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: off stage and the comedy reel has gone badly. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I have bombed in the virtual world and the real
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: world at the same time.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: How do you feel about yourself?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: This? But it's so crazy to me, and like it's
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: everyone you know, the commentators like, that's the wildest thing
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen. I've never seen that on a tennis court.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Poor Ugo. He went out first round of the Australian
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Open against Ben Shelton. We watched a little bit on
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: we did, and now he is checking his phone and
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: losing matches in a two point fifty point tournament in Montpellier.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: What do people do with their phones now? They put
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: it on a brick. There's a brick, app there's a break.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I personally have a little plastic box which has a
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: timer on it, and I put my phone in the
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: plastic box and a little insight into me and then
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I put the timer on. It'll be like three hours
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: or two hours or whatever, and then I put it away.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What the hell? You have no self control?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I don't. It's for people. People using this box put
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: like money in there or cigarettes.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: So you basically have a chastity belt for your phone.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. When I really need to do stuff
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: like writing, work and stuff like that, I put my
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: phone in nothing.

• 21:51
  Speaker 2: who you know, of course, won that US Open a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: few years back, storm through and people Leila Fernandez at
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the US hasn't really much since, has like played, you know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: not consistently enough to really kind of rise back up
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: through the rankings. But she was playing a tournament in Transylvania.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yea spooky every time you hear Transylvania. Do you think
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: it's a real place.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's just a yeah? I think it's from.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Van helsing Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So she got into
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the final and then lost to Christea, who you might
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: remember from the beef at the net with Osaka during
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the Australian Open. Emmeirati Kanu gets to the final and
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: gets thrashed six zero, six two. So she takes the
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: l at this tournament in Transylvania. And then I looked
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: at it long enough to figure out that if you
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: add the letter L to the name Emma RADICANU and
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: mix the letters around, it says you am name Dracula,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: She's Dracula.

  Speaker 2: You state she played a tournament in Transvania and that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I looked at the goddamn letters in her name and
