• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's like it's a breakfast it's a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: breakfast drink. And I think they market themselves though.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It's so good to have you back, Samuel Taunt, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you are filling in for Lizzie, who while she has
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: gone for six full weeks, six.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Full weeks, she's going to pursue her dream of stand
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: up comedy, which I don't love. I think she well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm happy to be here, but like, what
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: are her priorities?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: A thank you for being here? You were away for

  Speaker 1: the new dynamic. The boys are back in town. Well,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: it's it back in town.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Well it's a danger though, because you you you have
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the ability to kind of go full jock very quick.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's why I think Lizzie is a good pairing with you,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: because she can kind of take the edge off, whereas
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: before I feel like like I feel like if I'm
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: here in Errold's here very quickly. You know, you're we're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: talking about skateboarding. We're talking. You're like, oh, look at
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: this clip I saw of like a guy cutting his
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: leg off.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? I feel like you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: would just go full Rogan.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll go Rogan. Yeah, we'll be talking about UFOs.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well, before we get into the tennis. What is your
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: best way of preparing elk meat?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Just a bit of salt and pepper, Heat up the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: barbecue to about two forty, get it nice and hot.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You've got to shoot the elk.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It is great to have you back, Sam taunting. You're
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be here through the US Open, and I am
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: fascinated to get your hearts and minds picks for the
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: US Men's and Women's.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I think Sinner, you'd be just insane. To not pick him.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's a bit of a hard court king. Yes,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: my hard pick is obviously. I think I'll go Australians.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Obviously Chris O'Connell. His game was suspended. He was losing,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: but they suspended his game last night.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: No, I'm going to say my burial O'Connell from Sliders.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: More of a chance I say that about Chris. That's crazy,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that's not very nice to say. Yeah, yeah, he could
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: do it. He absolutely could go on an all time run.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Or I'm going to say the Demon. I think, I mean,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: he got bundled out again, but surely it's either.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: He has to do has to do something soon, or
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: he's just going to drift off into you know nothing.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say, this is the time is now,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and I feel like in Australian winning the US Open,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I feel like that that sounds about right, So that's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in my heart. I'm going to say Demon, all right,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and women's I'm going to say we're back on her
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, Yeah, good, I like it. I think server, hardcore, yeah,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: hard court.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And then my heart, I'm going to say the young
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Filipino queen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, Alexandra Iala.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I think she, you know, has kind of caught the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: attention of the world of tennis and if you don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: like her, then what's going on in your own heart?
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. And obviously a million Filipinos.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want absolutely Well, I'm because Many Pakia when
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: he was at the height of boxing, like he just
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: had like he had a sitcom on TV in the Philippines.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He was like he ran for president called the Many.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I think it was maybe called the Man.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's how he became.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I think the premise was he like lived with a
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: family and they were like, are you Many Pakia? Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: but she could be like we don't know the heights
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of her actual fame in the Philippines, like how big
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: she could be.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's already a superstar and then we'll get
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: into the dc epen soon. But the support for her
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: playing an American in an American five hundred tournament was
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: so much louder. Why is that? Because the Filipinos they support,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: they turn out.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But I also think like she's got something that even
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: like the run of the mill American would get behind
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: in a big way. Like what I mean, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: some people just have it and it's a charismatic drawing force,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and you just even just take a look at a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: picture of her and her smile and you go, oh,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to support her.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I think. Do you think if you like, say, move
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to America like Austria would turn up and droves to watch.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I've thought about this, yeah, because I've done stand up
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: overseas and I've thought Australians would come out, and they haven't.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They don't. Once in I did a gig in Argentina,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: in Buenos Aidis and I'm just bombing so hard, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: then there was an Australian guy in the front row.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: This is when I was on the project, and I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: was like said to the guar, I'm like, I'm famous
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in Australia. Tell everyone here. And he goes, I don't
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: know who you are.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe he'd been living over there forever, maybe he.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Was on holiday, he was visiting. He goes, I've never
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: seen you before, right, yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe he had seen like a previous you know, Peter
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Ellier or Tommy Little, you know, like you were you
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: were the kind of the death rattle of the show.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Eryl, who also worked on the show, I think would agree.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: He would agree that I agree with that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Ey sang I came in and closed the doors.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it was like the harbinger of doom
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: when me and you were up for the same pick.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So maybe this is just me being like, remember they
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: brought me in as level.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: We both did a chemistry test together. Yeah, imagine if
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you got it. Oh, it would have ended way quicker totally,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: so much quicker carry.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Three weeks on it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Let's how who your picks him for the US Open?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Well I discussed this on last week's app with Lizzy
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: who when I got her heart and minds? How did
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: she go with You'll have to go back and listen. Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: what happened was but because we have e roll back
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in the studio, I would love to get your harolds
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and minds, Errol, I think.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That was my heart is that your I was gonna say,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that's your mind?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Oh your mind pick is.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Venus, Ah, Venus, that's a big you got to be
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: cart and the Fellas.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Center's mind. That's cool.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I love that, I thought, maybe, like, I think there'll
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: be a lot of hard for Carlitos. I think people
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: want to see him come back and bounce back from
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: this injury. Run that he's been on.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We'll get into the Carldos news because many things to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: discuss on today's pod. I do have to say that
• 9:15

• 9:18
  Speaker 1: off online. It's clear that we're a podcast. It's clear.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I hope it's clear we're a podcast. Yeah, but this
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: comment really stuck out to me. A man commented, it's

• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Thank god, thank god, thank the point. I mean, no,

• 9:47
  Speaker 2: there's been a mistake the spelling of your podcast.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You guys have a crazy topo and all.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And like there's a big media team here at the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Australian Open and they all missed it. They all missed it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: That it's yeah, it is crazy. It's an easy mistake
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to Thank god. This guy pointed out. Did it get
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: any likes? It's a pretty funny comment.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I think people liked it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I think people are like, yeah, it is Rod Labor.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, dude, we've been thinking about that all
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the time. Yeah, you know, for years at Rod Labor Arena.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: That guy pod lavor comes out, that old guy and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: he sits down.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I've been calling him Pod. Is his name?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: His name's Rod as well well.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He actually was known as pocket Pod before he was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: with Pocket Pod. Yeah, yeah, a right, let's get into
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the tennis news. The DC Open just wrapped up. A
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bit of a side note, it's the Mubi Dollar. DC
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: opened the Mubi Dollar. I looked into. This is a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: investment company from the Middle East. Fantastic and the fantastic
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: main sponsor after Mubadala is Emirates. How do you think Trump,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who lives in DC, feels about Mubadala and Emirates being
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the main driv.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's my gut. I think he was into it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: That's good in the nation's capital. That really doesn't make
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: you think that America's for sale in any way.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, his foreign policy is clear. Click. What a tournament? Oh,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what a tournament. So the DC Open just wrapped up
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: this morning, this very morning because of the rain delays.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Fritz took it out in straight sets against the aforementioned
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Raphile Ho r Hodar played great, obviously to get to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the final. Took out some big names along the way
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and was cruising until he faced Fritz and his served
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: two big servers.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Do you think there's a more there's more joy for
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: a player out there to win than Taylor Fritz. I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: feel like the general tennis public couldn't be happier for
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: this guy.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: How do you mean like the tennis fan base would
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: rather see Hodar.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Than for I think they would rather see a dusty
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: old can win a tournament.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: In Taylor Fritz.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: If you look on like Reddit comments or on Twitter, Yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's just like he's a bit of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a villain.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he also.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Kind of ignored me in the hallway at the Australian Open.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: He was walking past and I saw him and I
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: said hey, and then he just kind of kept walking. Yes,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: he had just lost and he was going to do media,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: but you know, it cost nothing to be polite.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You called him Tato.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: It was at this point in the pod that Errol
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: gently reminded Sam that his Australian Open work contracts specifically
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: prohibited him from speaking to players in the corridors, especially
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: players who had just lost a match.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is true. There's no direct eye contact with players.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I made eye contact with so many players after a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: loss as well. Well, I thought I had some opinion,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I had some tips square Fedora.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Next time. I think he's I know you like him, well,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I mean I just like to see an American player,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and he's the best of my player at the moment, Shelton,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I would love to see when these tournaments doesn't have it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I disagree with you.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: There, Shelton, Tommy Paul, these guys, Yeah, they're in the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: demon category.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Oh this is interesting. I think that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I think they're like, they're talented, but then there's just
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: like an elite class, right, Fritz could be that Like
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Fritz have gone more game, I think maybe your mental
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: game as well.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: He's been playing on an injured knee. Look, I think
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to win this tournament in straight sets over Hodar was huge.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It took a bunch of match points and he got
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a footfall called on him in that last game to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: close out the match. I think he's our best hope
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: for the US.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Our best hope, our best hope.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: What do you you forget? Where my allegiances? Like? Get
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: your passports now? Yeah plural? And you alway your first
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: love is your first passport.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: That's not true. If you don't like it, leave.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Pauline Hanson on.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Them, Like, I'm just saying, it's like, you know what
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: what tennis to M, it's currently paying paying your wages.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Well until Tommy Haska, of course, but I just want
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to see an American man win the US Open, and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Fritz winning DC in the lead up M bodes very well.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And I think him and Hodar have similar games that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: both bombing serves at each other. Both guys seem allergic
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to coming into the net awesome just baseline rallies as
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: tennis guess and just whipping four hands cross court. And
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: it was similar, like I said, styles and in straits
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: not as compelling as you'd hope a final to be.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: But I like Fritz for the going deep in the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: US going.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Is he your hont he's your heart Peak, Shelton's my
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: heart Pert Yeah, okay, we love Shelton. Yeah, he seems
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: like a great guy. But like also, second heart pick
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: would be Taylor.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Tommy Paul Well, now Taylor could he and then learn
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I could go through all the Americans before I get
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the Fritz. If I'm being on, Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: But I think he did.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: You also look him in the eye.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no no. I remember signing the contract
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: saying we can't look them in the eye or disparage
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: them in any way on the podcast.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I don't think I did the training module
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: now that I think, Well, look, I would be fascinated
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to see how big it would be for American tennis
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: if an American man could somehow return to the summit, right, Like,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: how big would it be? Like I feel like there's
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: been a you know, we talk about maybe there's a
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: bit of a wilderness for the Australian men. I feel
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: like America's in the same boat.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I really liked your observation of them being
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: in the same kind of tier class as demon. I
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: think that checks out. And the way for Fritz to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: win the US a lot of things have to happen.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: A super hot day for center. Yeah, he plays Zverev
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in the final. He has a winning record against. You
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: need the weather to go lway. Carlos's wrist is in
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be hard for Carlos to win. Yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and it just lack of game time and Djokovic's is old,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Djokovic old, Yeah, Yeah, Djokovic old and you can't. Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: he just went like it's been a long season already.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the path for Fritz. I don't think
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: that all all those permutations really come together at the end,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: but yeah, we'll see.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Anyway, he's a single man now, so I feel like
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: he's focused and maybe you're going to start seeing some
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: better tennis.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Some better results. Better results. We could have had two
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: American winners on the men's and women's side had Pagoola
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: not lost to alex Illa in the women's final in DC.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Pagola was up a set and then it was two
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to one in the second set when the rains came
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: through absolute monsoon and they had to cancel the rest
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of the day. H This worked out in Yola's favor.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: She then ran away with the match after returning to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the court the next day. Swing.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It is awesome how quickly it can happen. Yeah, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: crazy that a tournament of the side doesn't have an
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: indoor court. But I guess like there aren't that many
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: indoor courts. No indoor like that can hold the numbers
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: you need for a final.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Players complain about the conditions on indoor courts that the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: ball you know it bubbles or whatever. Yeah, and the lights,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you know, they they find it annoying. I mean there's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: some guys that play great indoors. I mean Center obviously
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: prefers it. But the third set was a bagel in
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yola's favor. That was surprising to me. But bad night's bad,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Night's sleep bad when it sounds, yeah, I guess so.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: But she also Pagola said in her interview after the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: match that the crowd support for Iola threw her off. Yeah,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. It's good to know it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Can't like it because you know, when you're at the tennis,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: so you're at any sport really and you're cheering away
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and you're like, am I just doing this for me?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Am I doing it? It's good to know it kind of. Yeah,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: it's quite a bit of an effect. Well, she's not
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: inspiring the other person, but definitely throwing off someone.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, because I mean I watched this match and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it was crazy when he Alla won a point, the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: roar from the crowd compared to Pagola winning a point.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Who's in you know, her home country and not getting
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the support she's in.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's in the you know, the hot the beating
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: heart of the country. Yeah, sponsored by a Middle Eastern
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: financial film. Yeah, this is what America is all about,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: of course. And then she's getting thousands of Filipinos. They're
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: trying to bring her down. It's a lot going on
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: for her to kind of grapple with.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: This is i Allah's first WTA title and what a
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: one to win a five hundred event is a good
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: first title. And en route to the title, she took
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: out some big names, last year's winner Leila Fernandez, she
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: beat her in straits, she beat svid Alina, who's informed
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: this year and playing great, and to me, the biggest
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: surprise beating Osaka pretty handily six four, six to two
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to proceed on to the final where she then took
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So news like star is born moment. Do you think
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: coming of age twenty one, she could go on a
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: good run here, maybe be like a consistent top five player.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe. I mean, she looked amazing, like she's won me over.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: There was accusations of her being over hyped and that
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: she's just being touted as the next big thing because
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: she sells so many tickets and has so much support.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: But her tennis was blowing people off the court.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: If it would be it will be exciting for the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Australian Open if she, you know, continues, maybe has a
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: good showing at the US Open big back half of
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the year, like you know, the Asia Pacific area when
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: she plays the Grand send down here to see the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: support or see what happens. You might get a lot
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: of Filipinos coming over as well.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Well. I don't know if you remember this year, but
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they put her on a court that was too small
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: for her fan base at the AO.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just like spilling over and there's huge cues.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Filipino tennis star Alexei Ala has sent Melbourne Park crowds
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: into an absolute frenzy.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: She's the highest ranking Filipino in a history.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I think she's playing on a pod labor.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: She's made it to pod labor.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would be surprised if they didn't put
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: her on on pocket John Cain or yeah, pocket pods
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on arena. She has a name elsewhere. In the DC Open,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: alex Demonar had a kind of an interesting start because
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: he played Cruz Hewitt. That's cool.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a fun little nod to the future,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's just nice to have some Australian
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: names that are headlines.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and did you see Cruz Hewitt doing his dad's celebration.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: He's kept that going disgusting. Come on, be your own man.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. They even asked him and he
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't know. I just saw my dad
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: do it growing.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Up, And I mean, it would be weird if your
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: dad was Leighton Hugh when Leyton first came on the scene.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like he was.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Cruz just seems like a much nicer young man than
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: his dad Will.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: It's at the same age, right. Have you seen him
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: in interviews or anything. He's Cruise. Yeah, he's clearly curios affected. Yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess Nick would be like the cool guy. Yeah,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the cool older guy that you would see around the place.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: That would disobey his own father, you know.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: No, but I think his dad he's going to keep
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: him on the straight.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, But like Kurios would you know, go
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: against what Layton would tell him during Davis Cup or
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you know whatever. So he probably saw that as like,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: like that's a cool dude.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Curios didn't have to go to Christmas lunch
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: at Layton Hewitt how him and Bet cart Right and
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: like can I have the prawns? And he's like, well,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you disobeyed me in the Davis Cup. So I think, Kruse,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: what Cruise's game style? Is it more similar to like
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: did he have a stronger backcoll game?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: To be honest, I haven't seen enough of him to say,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and that the Demon ar match was like at three am,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and I just saw the result when I woke up
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and demonar rolled. And but at the net after he goes,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: We're going to be playing so much over the next
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. Yeah, that's so cool. So Demon
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: are beating Cruz Hewittt in the second round of DC
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: but in the next round losing to Brandon Nakashima in
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: straight sets. So Demon was the defending chance too. Yeah,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and he was, you know, defending points because he had
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: won the DC Open last year and then went out
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to Nakashima. Is this post wedding hangover? Was cruz Hewittt
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: too easy of a match going into Nakashima? He wasn't
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: ready for a season player. I don't know.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: He said he played well the Demon and which I
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: never like to see when someone loses and they say
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: they played well, yeah, I just think, like just cop
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: it and just be like I suck, really get angry.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I can be better. I need to return
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: it to the top. So I don't know, like maybe
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: he's just I don't know. The craziest part about the
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Demon's year so far, it's like I feel like it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: been another year of closeness, getting you know, into the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: positions and then kind of not following through.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: And he's what rank he's gone ou he's up to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: six now in the world.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Yet to me, it feels like he maybe has taken
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a step backwards this year, right in terms of progression.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Well, we saw that after his Wimbledon loss that he
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: was disenfranchised and he was shook and he was like, eh,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just not feeling it. So I mean,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: take a break, Damon enjoy married like.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Said, wait quit is that what you're saying? Well, I
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: just you just think he needs to have a little break.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: But if he's in the top ten, he's going to
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: be playing in the ATP finals at the end of
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the year. The season the grind continues, you know what
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I mean. So like he's gotta you.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Need maybe a little mental health kind of retreat or something.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Head to Bali with some other Australians and.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Either comeback with braids or a fedora.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I mean braids that a fedora would be what.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: About braids under a fedora? And then when you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Daft the fantastic could you play in the fedora? And
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: then you reveal in the postmatch interview.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: The corners although milady, Yeah, I mean cornrows from lady.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's it does only if he's playing he's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: playing mixed doubles and he does it to his phone every.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Time sheets a good shot corn Rows Lady.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: It's really it's really blurring cultural Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: would like it's kind of like a Bridgeton thing, you
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like it's you could see it
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: happening in an episode of that where you're like, what
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: is the time?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: What is kind of all these points happening?
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: A time traveler? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, showing up speaking
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of people out of time. Venus Williams, what a mean
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: transition that?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I feel like it's getting to the point
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: where we're going to be like, what is going on here?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Thirteen losses in a row as of recording. She just
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: went out in Toronto in the one thousand event in
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the first round. So last first round in DC, lost
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: first round in Toronto.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: At this is there something like you're taking? Is she
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: taking someone's place? That's a conversation.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: If she's getting a wild card into these then yeah,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of people vying for a.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: While, That's what I mean. Like, you know, if she
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: is not competing, and if you're losing thirty in a row,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: isn't there's an argument that she's not, then is she
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: holding a spot up for someone else that could use
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: it more?
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: And she hasn't said this is a victory lap or
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: this is a you know, final year for her. So
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: at forty six years old, I guess still threatening to
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: play all the events.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Threatening to play That sounds very honesting threatening to play,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: like come on, venus.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: No, She's like, I'm going to do it. I'm going
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to do it if you don't, behaves.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Look credit to her. She's forty six, she wants to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: do it. She could do it all. But losing that
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: much just surely would not be fun either. That's the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: other thing. So, especially for a crazy competitor, so like,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's all. It's a bit bizarre if
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you ask me.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think she's won a singles tour match since
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, And it's yeah, does she call it
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a day or does she just love the competitive nature
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: of the life and can't walk away?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Well, it could be a bit like you know in
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Shure Shank Redemption when old man gets left let out
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: of the prison but kind of freak doesn't know what
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: to do, so he commits a crime so he can
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: go back in Red Red.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: That's him. Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a similar thing with Venus. It's like she's
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: at this point now where she's like, I don't know
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: any other life, right, I feel the safetiness of the tour. Wow,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the regularity of going week to week, tournament to a tournament.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: That's my routine. That's how I know who I am.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Tennis is a prison.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we've got to break these guys out.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Or the end of hurt Locker when he's you know yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: he's left the war. He's back home and he's in
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the supermarket and he's like, I can't ye doing here,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and then the final scene he sees back.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: She's got PTSD. She has to get back there post line.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Tennis serena derangement.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: But she's not even like she's getting knocked out in
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the first round. So she's not even playing that much tennis.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: No, I mean she'd be training and practicing a ton,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: but then just getting bounced.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so if she likes training, you can still train
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: for what is she trying to go now?
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: To play these first round matches? Get an entrance fee
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: travel the world.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: She doesn't need the money.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: No, but maybe she likes Toronto, and maybe she likes
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati in a couple of weeks, and then she likes
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: where she's gone, But she could just go to these places.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of people that doesn't need that, they don't
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: need the money.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Bernard Tomic, Ah, Bernie, this is our ongoing segment. Gin
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and Tomic very high quality tennis for me Toomic played
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Karen cashing off in Mexico, Aaron one, he's made some
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: money here. Actually, yeah, you got to couch it in Okay.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: He won a challenger event a couple of weeks ago
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and Lincoln, Nebraska, and then he went through I think
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the Karen Kashanov took him through to the quarter final him. Yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and then he gets absolutely trounced by Cameron Nori. But
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: beating Karen Kashanov, a top ten player, amazing, huge result.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know was something going on with Karen Kashanov.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I know that sounds like I'm doubting bird talking.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: About Bernie at his peak would take him down. Yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: and Bernie's at his peak? Yeah, thirty three? How much
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: is Bernie worth? Because there was that clip a few months.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Ago only Evans Well, there was a clip of.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Him like wanting to pull out of a game and
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: he was saying to he goes, I'm going to get
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: a private jet out of here, and I was like,

• 29:09
  Speaker 1: loved it. Mike goldtein Network, I'll do Samton and then
• 29:13

• 29:16
  Speaker 2: His net worth is not publicly documented financial figures are
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: available for the American Experience stand up. There was in
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: pament nothing.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty accurate.

• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Mike Goldstein that has a lot fourteen point five million.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: He's a trader though. Yeah, that's some of me. Sam

• 29:41
  Speaker 1: about weight? It says a little tubby post thirty years old.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: It is a bit chody, A bit chody for my liking. Well,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: they're really editorialized if I like it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: My point is, what is Bernie doing out there as well?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Like, I get that he's out there playing, but but he's.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Been grinding away in the lesser tournaments of the Challengers.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I know he loves it, That's what I mean. He
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: just loves being out there. Yeah, but for these guys
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: that would need the top I don't know what did
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: he get to, maybe ranked fifteenth in the world or something.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: But I don't think he's getting wild cards.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Is he's just grinding for the love of the game
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: at it. The money is like it's not much. He
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be covering costs, I don't think.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: But he deserves to be if he's getting through qualifying
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: rounds and then winning through it a quarterfinals.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but why still is my point?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Because these guys are competitive freaks and it's all they know.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And if they're not out there playing, they're you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: making OnlyFans clips that are far too pricey for my
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: like for you a linking anyway, And yeah, he got
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: trounced by Cameron Norri in the next round in Mexico, Bernie,

  Speaker 2: world one hundred and seventy first or something.

  Speaker 2: No yuck my yum. How much talent did he.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Have a lot? Do you remember those aos where he
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: was touted as the next big thing and making the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: second week, and then he just flamed out. He like
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: had that car issue. I don't know, Yeah, he had
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that car thing.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, he was also not very well liked
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the jungle, did.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: He I'm just not cooking. Well, huh, I'm a celebrity.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Get me out of here. I need to get out
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: of here. Carlos Acharass is training again. I'm excited, are you,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Samuel Tamta.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course, Like I think he's everyone's favorite tennis player.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: It's excited. Didn't have him back out there, and.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: How do you see him going?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think it's he's going to be a bit
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: soft on return, and I think he needs Look the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: mental state I'm worried about as well.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: If you have a look at that hair, well you've
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: got We have discussed corn rows a lot on this episode.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: And what do you think of Alcoraz's.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I think he look he looked good, but yeah, look
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: at that he does look good. But as every girlfriend
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I've ever dated has told me, if someone changes their
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: hair dramatically, it means they're in crisis. Right, Yeah, So
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: how else could you read into that?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Before last year's US Open, he shaved his head completely,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: came out totally bald. Yeah, but that's then one in
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the US Open.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: That's not Cornrows.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're rastic.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Shaving your head is like a cry for help. It's
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: like hot in New York in August. It's like, I
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: don't want the extra hair, yeah, you know, I just
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: because I'm going to sweat a lot. How do you
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: explain this? This is a lot of This is a
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: stylistic change up.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I think he saw his friend Flavio Kabali do it
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago and he was like that,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: that's cool. Arthur fees look amazing with the corn Rows.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot of effort, It's all I'm saying. Yeah,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: but at least he doesn't have the little beads in
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the back yet yet. So this is, you think, more
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: like an auntie getting back from Bali.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: It just looks like I'm you know, you know, nine
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: club in Columbia and this guy is trying to sell
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: me something.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think can we sho?
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: You didn't even think you go yep, You're like yeah.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, can we The most amazing thing
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: anyone's ever done in corn Rows is friend of the show,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Aaron Cox. Yeah, this is I mean, this is a
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: man in corn rows eating corn while listening to corn. Yeah,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: can that ever be topped?
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I guess if Carlos wins the US Open with corn rows,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: that tops this, Well, you'd have to eat then corn.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: You'd have to then replicate golf afterwards he's like, can
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: you put corn on?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And then he'll do it. This is not bad if
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: he's still rocking the corn rows when he comes in
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: for the AO next year and we correplicate that, and
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that's a great idea.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think athletes back to back to back to him.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: I think, look, I would love to see him come back,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: but I think he's just going to be a bit
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: underdone and rest. Yeah, and I just think we will
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: have to wait and see. Yeah, you'd love to see
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: him make a run, but maybe he's a semi final situation.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Just want to see a viable opponent for Yannick Center.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: And I think outside of the heat, it's Carlos so well.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I feel almost like the tournament hinges on those two
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: getting to the final to face each other. Now, I
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: think that's what people want, which kind of is like
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: not I mean, it's not great for the men's ru all,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: but like, let's hope he's recovered, or let's hope we
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: get some good young names coming through that are going
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: to elevate the sport.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe this is Cruz Hewitt, Christian O'Connell.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Christian Chris O'Connell. Christian O'Connell hosts the radio shop on GOLM.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: If he went the US Open, I will be very surprised.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: As we speak, the Montreal one thousand for the men
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and the Toronto one thousand for the women is on.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: This is the National Bank Open presented by Rogers. I
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: do know these corporate names for tournaments, not rules. Just
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: call it the Toronto Open or the Canada Open. But
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: people are.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Paying for the money, and you know, tennis and golf
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much all propped up by the financial services industries.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I know this is where the clientele is.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: You think you are lose. This is a bit of
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: its soul when.

• 35:33
  Speaker 2: watch the football at Marvel Stadium, You're not like your God.
• 35:37

• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Hulk to be there. Yeah, no, that's true.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Yea, well, there is I did stand up once in
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the Peter Parker room.

  Speaker 1: There is that a thing.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: That's all the rooms are like named after kind of.

  Speaker 2: was a comedian because it wasn't very many low.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: So we'll just check in on the scores. This is
• 36:02

• 36:08
  Speaker 1: few matches going on as we speak. Diallo beat Jack Kay.

  Speaker 1: This is the Vukic is playing Altmeyer at the moment.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Marin Chilich won his first round match, as did James
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Duckworth over Chris O'Connell one.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Because when I came into the podcast the game was suspended.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Duckworth absolutely stomped your boy Chris O'Connell sixty three, six
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to one.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, was he was, he was up, he wasn't off
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: a break. But I was always like this, rain's gonna
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: help him ott.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Nope, did not help him at all. Matteo Barattini is
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: out in the first round, losing to Navone. Uh and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: then yeah this of course none of the big three Djokovic,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Alcarez or Center is playing in the Canadian Open. They're
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: resting up before Cincinnati. And the women's draw. Bianca Andrescu
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: went out in the first round. Talia Gibson gets a
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: walk over. That's actually huge because she was playing Coccaretto,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: who was in good form. Uh kayla day the American
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: goes through in three sets, and please give a through
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: in three Katie Bolter out to a Canadian k Cross
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so we'll keep across that for the next
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and well it'll be wrapped up. No,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: this one goes through twelve days, so this will be
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: in the thick of the quarterfinals. One thing I want
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: to talk about is the crazy US Open mixed doubles pairings.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I've seen this wild yea, what is there a reason
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: every tournament doesn't do these?
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what I was thinking is like they
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: should make it like compulsory to play mixed doubles. Yeah,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: like they pay you with someone and it's just like
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: good for the Yeah, everyone, like it's awesome.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Like some of these names, this is more interesting than
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the singles.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Like Novak and sabas pery are but it's like I've
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: never they ever been in the same room.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, and it's so it's gonna be so good
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: to watch. Say, Novak and Sabilanka are up against you know,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Fritz and Rebecca and yeah, yeah, there's the all Russian
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: pairing Andreva and rube Lev, Nishikori and Osaka is just
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: huge contain yeah, Iola and Canadian favorite Felix r j
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: l seem And then today there is more announce because
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: everyone's getting in on the action.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: But it's like fun. It seems like pure fun, and
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: maybe it's a good distraction from like the psycho little
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: world you're in when you play singles.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it makes doubles interesting.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: And like you know when when the Grand Slams are
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: on and they fly in all the legends and they
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: playing these fun games and it's like so much fun
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: to It's like we could just be doing that every
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: time there's a tournament on. Yeah, it's like so fun.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be wild to watch. A couple of the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: new ones announced today. Bublick is playing with Venus williams
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: oh Finevara and then you got the married couples Alex
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: demon are playing with Katie Demon are now no longer Bolter.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Makes business with pleasure if he's.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Gael Monfis and Lina's for the Yeah, so that's exciting.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't play doubles with your life partner.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: She wouldn't want to play with me. We've tried to play,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: she yells at me. She has to go on the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: opposing team.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah yeah, And she's like, that's what she says
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: to me. Are you okay?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just when we when we play, when we play,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: it's it's bad times. Yeah, yeah, because she won't ever
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: go up to the net. She's scared of the net.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Volley games not good. She's good from the back court.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Play doubles. It's like half of the time.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I say to him.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm the problem, Maybe it's me I'm the problem.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: But look, I think this is exciting. And look it's
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: also like not to be like a cynical person, but
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: like you know, Novak and SAB's playing together. It's like
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: this is this, this is you know, exposure, this is
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: like promotion, this is everything. It's like there's no reason
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: why these top players shouldn't be playing together. If you
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: get a final with like some of the big names together,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: it's like, how good is that?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I know it's and now it's the tickets are going
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to go through the roof to see some of these pairings, right,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: But I also think that none of these players are
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: double specialists. I mean, on paper absolutely roll yeah, probably
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: it's by two like no name, you know, mixed doubles,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: people who are just know how to play double. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: And I'll be I'd be. It would be awesome to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: see Nisha, Corey and Osaka in the final against you know, say,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: demon Ar and Demonar. But I just don't see it happening,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: and it just seems like a bit of a like
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: a promo move.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I think so, but I still don't care. I think
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: it's still fun to watch. I think you're gonna see
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of smiling and until one of them rolls
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: an ankle and gets knocked out of the singles draw.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we see a bit of this, yeah, and then
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: one person's gonna get injured and it will never happen again.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: But this is now a popularity contest where it's like
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Novac's like, I'll take Sabalanca and you know, and then
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: he all is like, I'll take Felix. And then there's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: surely someone who's like, why isn't anyone asked me?
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's last picked, it's school sport.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is there no Fritz? No, Fritz is playing with Rebeccaa. Yeah,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Fritz and Rebeccaa.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is like, that's sick. That's a great pair.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Those two of the biggest servers. Also, like two couldn't
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: be more different beyond two of the quietest people.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: They hate both hate eye contact.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for a different reason. They're both very
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: hard to interview, if you compare with anyone in the world.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: To play mixed doubles with.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: My girlfriend, what a backtrack in case she's listening. We're
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: also going away to a house in like a month
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: for the weekend with a tennis court with other couples,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: and the point is to play. We'll be playing a
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: lot of tennis, right, and I don't know, I feel
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: like there'll be like teams getting rotated around, So I
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: do have to pick her first, I guess, all right,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: even though she probably wouldn't pick me. Yeah, yeah, who
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: would you take?
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I maybe Rebecca?
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could, I can volly. Okay, my back cord,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: My sir really lets me down right.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would also take your girlfriend. I'm a let's
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: move on.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, my kid's time for everyone's favorite segment, approaching the net.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: You like my hat?
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think you got it? Side on?
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Do I have it on? It's hard when you've got
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: another hat and head. There go, Okay, let's kick it off.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: It just looks like a massive head. Now it does
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: look like I have a massive head?
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Is that my one shot?
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 43:01

  Speaker 1: What's the reason?
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: It's his son's birthday that is beautiful, and so he's
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: not going to play.

• 43:22
  Speaker 2: his dad to win a big tennis tournament for his birthday.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: That'd be a good present, wouldn't it. And the spring
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: his son along. His son's also really young, for I'm
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: not going to know, Like kids don't know where they
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: are till they're like fifteen that's.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: The thing, like, if you've been invited to a kid's
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: birthday party, what's going on the way, why are we
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: doing this?
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: You could do that in Cincinnati.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: He's not making memories.
