- 1:59Speaker 1: Can you could say, hey, I'm just coming in here,
- 2:00Speaker 1: go quick. Instead, he goes so slowly that it becomes
- 2:03Speaker 1: a way to you what's happening.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a nice little moment. The other option
- 2:06Speaker 2: is you just go, hey, Mike, maybe drop the levels
- 2:09Speaker 2: on one a little bit.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I know, if you guys can say the camera but

- 3:48Speaker 1: talking about that. Before the show started, you assured me
- 3:51Speaker 1: they would get involved.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I thought, I mean, just from being you know, drunks

- 4:42Speaker 1: It is sacred. I feel like, are you stopping?
- 4:47Speaker 2: No, I'm still going.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I thought you then looked down and said
- 4:50Speaker 1: something like that. No, maybe it's not sacred. Maybe it's haunted.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Actually I'm hearing noises, there's ghosts.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I think it's sacred because every day I kind of
- 4:59Speaker 2: lay them out on the floor and face towards mecha
- 5:01Speaker 2: do you? But it's the Meccha brand activation.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Did you write or that?

- 5:22Speaker 1: went through your photos and you know private text messages

- 5:26Speaker 1: just ready to go. Yeah, yeah, you're writing a lot.

- 6:35Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. I've heard that before and that's fine.
- 6:37Speaker 2: It's hurtful, love the song. Wow, I'm a bit concerned

- 8:33Speaker 2: I can't even hook my wife up. Dude.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, my girlfriend asked me today for tickets and I
- 8:37Speaker 1: was like, what do you don't understand, we're in a
- 8:39Speaker 1: basement underneath rod Laver Arena. It's just the occasionally we
- 8:44Speaker 1: see a cleaner bringing rubbish down. We have no power here.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I got hit up by a guy and he said, hey,
- 8:50Speaker 2: I am not in Melbourne at the moment, but my
- 8:54Speaker 2: agent is would you.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Be a comedian? He's a performer, that's why he has
- 8:59Speaker 1: an agent.
- 9:00Speaker 2: He has an agent. And he said, would you be
- 9:01Speaker 2: able to get tickets for my agent to the final
- 9:05Speaker 2: week of the tennis She really just wants to go
- 9:07Speaker 2: down and soak it up. Oh yeah, And I was
- 9:09Speaker 2: and no, he said. He said, oh, you know, nothing major,
- 9:12Speaker 2: but it would be great if you could get her in.
- 9:15Speaker 2: It's literally a major.
- 9:17Speaker 1: It's literally of major. It's also like you're asking for
- 9:20Speaker 1: tickets to a major. You don't want anything major like
- 9:23Speaker 1: you've got like you're sitting in front of just a
- 9:26Speaker 1: whole heap of different tickets. You've got ground passes, you've
- 9:29Speaker 1: got ticket like box tickets to the finals, deciding where
- 9:32Speaker 1: you're going to divvy them out every morning. And he's like, bro,
- 9:35Speaker 1: I don't want you to go. I'm not an asshole.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Don't go to the top shelf. That's crazy. She doesn't deserve.
- 9:40Speaker 1: But just give her something just below that, maybe, like
- 9:43Speaker 1: I don't know, like a corporate box ticket to the
- 9:46Speaker 1: semi final. She doesn't want the works, Just hook her up.
- 9:49Speaker 2: And what do I care about your agent?
- 9:51Speaker 1: Your agent?
- 9:53Speaker 2: It's not even like she should be doing things for.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Him exactly what is their relationship? It doesn't make at
- 10:00Speaker 1: all anyway. So you got them tickets.
- 10:02Speaker 2: She's sitting in Rod Laver's old seat for the far.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Fantastic and she will suck up the atmosphere.
- 10:08Speaker 3: There we love a better beat.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Should we go through the matches from yesterday?
- 10:15Speaker 1: I think we should.
- 10:17Speaker 2: First up was backing Up versus Chavon Tech. We were
- 10:21Speaker 2: there for a second set.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It was kind of a blood path.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Really, I have not seen a player this tournament and
- 10:28Speaker 2: as much of a pure flow state as Robak. In
- 10:31Speaker 2: that second set, it was like power game.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Just in the moment, bang bang bang bang bang.
- 10:36Speaker 2: And just dismantled chavon Tech. So it was seventy five
- 10:40Speaker 2: six one and that Yeah, Like I said, that second
- 10:43Speaker 2: set was something to behold.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Chavontek like lost her rhythm. Now I'm a big rhythm guy.
- 10:47Speaker 1: I'm there at the tennis I'm trying to analyze how
- 10:50Speaker 1: people are feeling. And a few times I said it
- 10:52Speaker 1: to you, you don't seem to care whenever i'd give
- 10:54Speaker 1: you any kind of insight into what I'm seeing out
- 10:56Speaker 1: there on the tennis car. Yeah, but a few times
- 10:59Speaker 1: she re set her routine when she was going into
- 11:01Speaker 1: serve and she looked rattled completely, And I think that
- 11:04Speaker 1: is a that is a sign that you're you're doubting yourself,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you're not feeling it. And the results look at look
- 11:08Speaker 1: what happened after that.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Well, do you think it was an influx of things,
- 11:12Speaker 2: Like first she doesn't get into the gym because she
- 11:15Speaker 2: doesn't have her credit, have.
- 11:16Speaker 1: A credit that would rattle anyone. And then she gets
- 11:18Speaker 1: into the gym, you're there, that's not ide.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I'm doing that one machine where you spread your legs
- 11:23Speaker 2: exactly make eye contact with people.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Actually, and she's not having she's trying to get.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Your towel as well, that you use it exactly. Four
- 11:30Speaker 2: towns have that towel. Sorry, just close your legs, give
- 11:34Speaker 2: me that towel for one second. Right back in through
- 11:36Speaker 2: over Shavan Tech. So she is in the semi final,
- 11:40Speaker 2: looking good, where she'll be playing Jess Pagoula Jpeg affectionately
- 11:46Speaker 2: known ah and Jpeg Overmova in straight sets. We'll get
- 11:52Speaker 2: to the straight sets results a little bit later in
- 11:55Speaker 2: the show.
- 11:56Speaker 1: I hadn't noticed you had it. No, I just thought
- 11:59Speaker 1: it had been quality to right. Yeah, it's been fantastic.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Oh man, I hadn't noticed that, you know. I just
- 12:04Speaker 1: thought that's perfect. That's just what I want. Yeah, it's
- 12:06Speaker 1: a great tournament. Clean matches, clean matches, keep it clean,
- 12:09Speaker 1: a clean sheet, that's what I like.
- 12:12Speaker 2: So during the Anasamova Pagoula match, Anasamova clearly rattled very
- 12:17Speaker 2: ra especially the first set was six' to. Two she
- 12:21Speaker 2: was getting. FRUSTRATED i loved. IT i like to say
- 12:24Speaker 2: it some fire because it's not her. FAULT i thought
- 12:26Speaker 2: you'd like a, nice clean match with No, look.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You, Know i'm A i'm a complex. Situation SOMETIMES i
- 12:33Speaker 1: like to say both go.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Both. Wait So anisimova during the match was pretty upset
- 12:38Speaker 2: with her player's.
- 12:39Speaker 1: BOX i liked it because it's not her fault that
- 12:46Speaker 1: things are. Going, wait it's clearly her corner's. Fault, yeah you,
- 12:48Speaker 1: know so it's like you've got to give it to
- 12:50Speaker 1: them and they're right On, Corey they're right if they
- 12:52Speaker 1: if it wasn't their, fault they wouldn't be there waiting
- 12:53Speaker 1: to get yelled.
- 12:54Speaker 2: At, well she she, was she was. Yelling you're not saying.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Anything you're just sitting there doing. Nothing BUT i think
- 13:01Speaker 2: if they were saying a lot and you.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Know, yeah shut. Up, yeah part of your job is
- 13:07Speaker 1: like and you would accept that when you accept the,
- 13:09Speaker 1: role you know that part of your job is to
- 13:11Speaker 1: get yelled. At, yeah you know. That, Fine it's the
- 13:14Speaker 1: same with me in this. Podcast as soon as we're,
- 13:17Speaker 1: done you, said what was That you embarrassed me out?

- 13:31Speaker 2: temper when she was in.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Here, ABSOLUTELY i went back through the archives eye opening.
- 13:39Speaker 2: That was supposed to So pagoola took that one out

- 13:51Speaker 2: Open i'm probably most pumped for that, Match pagoula Versus,
- 13:54Speaker 2: rebeccaena Because rebecca up probably one of the biggest servers
- 13:58Speaker 2: in the women's side of the draw versus one of
- 14:00Speaker 2: the best returners IN. Jpeg, well rebecc when knocking Out.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Shavantek AS i said, before Poor, ega the one slam

- 16:34Speaker 1: So like they come, off you tune up with a baseball,
- 16:36Speaker 1: bat beat him around a bit silly.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Full time you're hiding you get out, There, yeah get out.
- 16:43Speaker 1: There and that's the entertainment that people would, want could
- 16:46Speaker 1: get the young kids back into tennis that we've lost
- 16:48Speaker 1: a pickleball and that.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Was prime growing. Time. Ah, Yeah So mazzetti retiring down
- 16:56Speaker 2: three to one in the third, set And djokovic you,
- 17:00Speaker 2: know was very gracious in his. Win well when his, walkover.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Well in too in a row as. Well, yeah it
- 17:09Speaker 1: is just what has what deal has he done with
- 17:11Speaker 1: some kind of high?
- 17:12Speaker 2: Power the thing is though It's Novak, Djokovic he's made
- 17:15Speaker 2: it through to a semi, final and it's like it's,
- 17:17Speaker 2: him so it's, like, well, yeah he probably would have
- 17:20Speaker 2: got there, anyways maybe two sets, down but it's not
- 17:24Speaker 2: like you, Know Pedro martinez or something like or someone
- 17:29Speaker 2: ranking a crazy.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Story, yeah, yeah but it is still two walkovers at
- 17:34Speaker 1: a very convenient time.
- 17:35Speaker 2: In the second week of A. Slam, yeah that's that
- 17:38Speaker 2: that he has hasn't won a set and he's lost
- 17:42Speaker 2: two and he's into the. Semifinal it's. Crazy, yeah he
- 17:49Speaker 2: must be so. Happy, yeah he was a little Annoyed
- 17:53Speaker 2: Novak djokovic in a press conference. Afterwards when a, journalist
- 17:59Speaker 2: he's pisky. JOURNALIST i, mean was this really thought through
- 18:02Speaker 2: with this?
- 18:02Speaker 4: Question, first, well in the early of your career when
- 18:05Speaker 4: you were Chasing roger And raffa for, titles and now
- 18:09Speaker 4: at the back end of your career you're Chasing yannick And.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Carlos i'm chasing And carlos in which sense in terms
- 18:17Speaker 2: of Winning Grand slam titles just right, Now So i'm
- 18:20Speaker 2: always the chaser And i'm never being.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Chased in the, meantime he won twenty Four grand.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Slams But i'm saying it's it's worth worth saying that, sometimes, Right, SORRY.
- 18:31Speaker 1: I see what the, JOURNALISTS i see the angle he's coming,
- 18:36Speaker 1: from and it does make. Sense it actually is quite
- 18:38Speaker 1: an interesting. Question, yeah but it has to be framed
- 18:41Speaker 1: in the worst way. Possible you're just forgetting the, like
- 18:45Speaker 1: he's not going to be remembered as this guy. Chasing
- 18:47Speaker 1: he's going to be remembered as potentially the greatest player
- 18:49Speaker 1: to ever play the.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Game, yeah and then just being put to him that
- 18:52Speaker 2: your whole career you've been, Chasing.
- 18:56Speaker 1: You've been just, grinding always just at the heels of
- 18:59Speaker 1: These peria. Players twenty Four, sam what did it feel?
- 19:03Speaker 2: LIKE i loved? It From?
- 19:04Speaker 1: Novak his response being like also double, dipping because Like
- 19:07Speaker 1: novak is, like what are you talking about? It and
- 19:09Speaker 1: then when he finally goes to, answer he's, like that
- 19:11Speaker 1: was really.
- 19:11Speaker 2: Disrespectful oh, yeah he totally owns the journalist and is,
- 19:16Speaker 2: like are we forgetting about the fact for fifteen years
- 19:19Speaker 2: when everyone was chasing me AND i was so far
- 19:22Speaker 2: ahead of the total? Totally and, yeah the guy's, like,
- 19:24Speaker 2: oh you, know trying to kind of just walk.
- 19:28Speaker 1: It walk his way out of but he still kind
- 19:30Speaker 1: of doubles down the. Journey he probably should have taken
- 19:32Speaker 1: a loss and, said you know, WHAT i probably haven't
- 19:35Speaker 1: worded that the WAY i wanted to sorry about. That
- 19:38Speaker 1: i'll see you.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Later.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Yeah instead he went back in and forced him to
- 19:41Speaker 1: answer the. QUESTION i thought it was a cool, question
- 19:43Speaker 1: but then it was always gonna. WHO i don't really
- 19:45Speaker 1: know what the answer is Because novak's steaming right. NOW
- 19:48Speaker 1: i also liked it From novak BECAUSE i feel like
- 19:50Speaker 1: that's the real a bit of the Real. Novak, yeah
- 19:53Speaker 1: and you often see a sanitiz like with all tennis,
- 19:55Speaker 1: players a sanitized, version and they're very friendly and they're,
- 19:58Speaker 1: Like i'm so, Happy i'm. Grateful it's all. Fantastic but it's, like,
- 20:02Speaker 1: no get, angry get, angry tell people that you're.
- 20:05Speaker 2: GOOD i was thinking that with the post match interviews
- 20:08Speaker 2: when they're, like, oh, look you know it was a
- 20:10Speaker 2: tough test and the other guy is a great, player
- 20:12Speaker 2: and you KNOW i was lucky to get. Through there's
- 20:15Speaker 2: never they're never like, YEAH i crushed, him.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Dude it's Like i'm. Superior it's like they're, like, oh
- 20:20Speaker 1: how is. It it's LIKE i won in straight. Sets,

- 27:06Speaker 2: i feel like a ball coming at me at that
- 27:07Speaker 2: speed would simply pass through my.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Body, yeah it would just heat. You and then you
- 27:12Speaker 1: would wake up in a hospital with a just a
- 27:14Speaker 1: perfect tennisball sized, hole.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Like A looney to style hole through the.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Middle exactly what would you? Do Because i've never been.
