0:04
Speaker 2: We're all good? Did you need to clap? You have clapps?
0:08
Speaker 2: All this shit has happened and I've been oblivious.
0:12
Speaker 3: Hello, Mike, Yeah.
0:14
Speaker 4: Should be.
0:16
Speaker 3: The stuff the way.
0:20
Speaker 2: Speaking of superstars, we have the icon, the man, the myth, legend,
0:27
Speaker 2: the legend of the What else did you ask us
0:31
Speaker 2: to call you before?
0:32
Speaker 4: I would say some of the best hair about industry.
0:35
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, but I'd like to think I've got
0:37
Speaker 1: one of the best slash back ends in the non
0:40
Speaker 1: professional circuit.
0:41
Speaker 2: Trying it is Dave here.
0:46
Speaker 1: Great to be here with two of my nemesis.
0:49
Speaker 2: We are nemesises because not only did you knock Lizzie
0:53
Speaker 2: who out of the one point slam ruthlessly I dream.
0:56
Speaker 3: About it three am. I wake up.
0:58
Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't happy with her action to that that
1:01
Speaker 1: wonderful serve that I put in so and you hit
1:03
Speaker 1: the ball basically out of the stadium I did. And
1:06
Speaker 1: you blame my week service.
1:08
Speaker 3: As out of your little bitch if.
1:11
Speaker 1: You don't know about the one point slam that was
1:14
Speaker 1: you had to win one point and I selflessly decided
1:17
Speaker 1: to serve because I knew how nerve wracking. It would
1:20
Speaker 1: be for you to serve.
1:21
Speaker 3: Ah usy, what a nice.
1:24
Speaker 1: But I wanted to get my first one in because
1:26
Speaker 1: I didn't want to have to you know, that second
1:28
Speaker 1: one would have been really nervous for me. So I
1:30
Speaker 1: took a bit off it. But you couldn't handle it.
1:32
Speaker 3: I couldn't handle it. It caught me off guard.
1:35
Speaker 4: I was running shuffling, yes, and then I hit it
1:38
Speaker 4: too hard and it went out and got through.
1:41
Speaker 1: She could have graciously accepted the feet, but no, she
1:44
Speaker 1: went on the attack.
1:47
Speaker 2: Well do you remember Adam Hills was telling us all
1:49
Speaker 2: he's been like like thinking about the best strategy for weeks.
1:53
Speaker 3: I appreciated a coach.
1:54
Speaker 2: He had a coach and he was gone, you have
1:56
Speaker 2: to serve. He's like, I thought about it. I've been
1:58
Speaker 2: thinking about this for weeks. You have to serve. Whatever
2:00
Speaker 2: you do, take the serve. We got two chances. The
2:02
Speaker 2: pros only got one right and then he double faulted.
2:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hurt. There was something that he foot folded
2:10
Speaker 1: as well. And if you don't get Adam only has
2:13
Speaker 1: one foot, so so the footfold someone who only has
2:17
Speaker 1: one foot is hard. But it was a computer generated
2:21
Speaker 1: isn't it now everything even when we played then it
2:23
Speaker 1: was is the computer says no.
2:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a footfall on a guy with one foot
2:31
Speaker 2: is absolutely brutal. And because then he ran up and
2:33
Speaker 2: made a joke on the microphone about it and then
2:35
Speaker 2: ran back to the second serve and missed it.
2:38
Speaker 1: You know that I once played Adam in forty two
2:41
Speaker 1: degree heat in Melbourne and his plastic foot snapped during
2:46
Speaker 1: the game. And we went to and he didn't have
2:49
Speaker 1: a spare foot, so and we went to and the
2:55
Speaker 1: guys running the courts in albert Punk wouldn't give us
2:57
Speaker 1: our money back because I thought he was joking that
2:59
Speaker 1: he foot for your comedians. No, you paid, so we
3:03
Speaker 1: didn't even get money back. Well, he didn't get his
3:05
Speaker 1: money back.
3:05
Speaker 2: So it was tough, hot, like whatever the foot's made
3:08
Speaker 2: out of melted, melted, and then just snapped off. So
3:11
Speaker 2: that's good advice for any young players. Always bring a
3:14
Speaker 2: spare foot.
3:15
Speaker 1: Yes, and yeah, but I'd like to think that we're
3:18
Speaker 1: so hard that we'll play, you know, I'll play in
3:20
Speaker 1: forty degrees no worries. Really, middle of the day, middle
3:23
Speaker 1: of the day, full sun.
3:25
Speaker 3: You were your fact to fifty look.
3:27
Speaker 1: At my skin's already gone. Basically every every three months
3:31
Speaker 1: I have to go in for surgery to get like
3:33
Speaker 1: five spots cut off me and then I can't play tennis.
3:35
Speaker 4: From then you play in the middle of the day
3:38
Speaker 4: and I get it, yeah, undercover and get him under cover.
3:43
Speaker 2: So not only did you knock Lizzie who out of
3:45
Speaker 2: the one point swam we play, we played pretty consistently
3:49
Speaker 2: over the past five or six years or maybe the longer.
3:53
Speaker 1: You guys, that's really good because because Mike told me
3:56
Speaker 1: that and I forget stuff. But we went to the
3:58
Speaker 1: Australian Open final together, you said, And that was like
4:00
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
4:01
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty, so it was right before the big as
4:05
Speaker 2: was it called the plandemic, before the plan happened. That
4:10
Speaker 2: we went and saw Dominic team pushed Novak Djokovic to
4:14
Speaker 2: five sets. Yeah lose, and it was an amazing match.
4:19
Speaker 2: We're sitting right behind Rod Labor from Amory.
4:23
Speaker 1: I've had some great moments that the Australian Open finals
4:26
Speaker 1: once once was on the you know those seats that
4:28
Speaker 1: are on the court, those like lounge seats almost like yeah, yes, yeah.
4:33
Speaker 1: One year, the first year they introduced those seats. They
4:37
Speaker 1: let me, They invited me, and which doesn't happen that
4:39
Speaker 1: often anymore, but it happened then where I got invited
4:42
Speaker 1: to sit in those seats and I look beside me
4:44
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting next to Will Ferrell. Wow, so I'm
4:47
Speaker 1: right beside Will Ferrell and that was exciting. So I
4:50
Speaker 1: loved it. Yeah. Well, actually he said a load to
4:53
Speaker 1: me as well, because we'd met on Rove a few
4:55
Speaker 1: years before, maybe many before the TV show Rove, and
4:58
Speaker 1: he remembered me, and so we had a really good chat.
5:01
Speaker 1: And then he had to interview Roger Federer after the game.
5:04
Speaker 1: He said, I'm a bit nervous about it. I said,
5:06
Speaker 1: you've got this, well, you're gonna be okay, and he went,
5:09
Speaker 1: and so he wanted to do so I picked him.
5:11
Speaker 3: Up to interview Roger girls hype girl.
5:13
Speaker 1: I was. But that the end of that that tournament,
5:17
Speaker 1: they couldn't sell the seats for the final, and I
5:20
Speaker 1: just was desperate. It was Feeder versus Nadal in the
5:23
Speaker 1: final and they hadn't happened for years, and event I
5:27
Speaker 1: was trying to get a seat to the game, to
5:28
Speaker 1: the match, I couldn't get one, and eventually that was
5:31
Speaker 1: the only seats left with those ones at the front.
5:33
Speaker 1: So I paid for two secs much a lot, a lot.
5:37
Speaker 3: It was thousands tens of that.
5:41
Speaker 1: Well yeah, at least.
5:42
Speaker 2: Ten those seats because now like they just put influencers
5:47
Speaker 2: in them, and I always looked down and I'm like,
5:50
Speaker 2: that person does not give a shouts influencers number.
5:56
Speaker 1: I bought the seats and a mate came with me.
5:58
Speaker 1: I gave the free ticket to and he was late,
6:04
Speaker 1: but we watched a Federer beaten Nadal in five sets,
6:09
Speaker 1: and we were the first ones, me and my mate Starks,
6:12
Speaker 1: were the first ones to congratulate Roger like he looked
6:15
Speaker 1: at us and well because his family weren't there that
6:18
Speaker 1: year for whatever reason, he looked at us and we were.
6:20
Speaker 1: We were we were Roger's team main star.
6:24
Speaker 2: There's a picture, isn't that?
6:25
Speaker 4: Yes?
6:28
Speaker 1: Posted of me, me and my mate Starks and just
6:30
Speaker 1: look actually there's one of just me and Roger just
6:33
Speaker 1: it's like a selfie. He's on court, but he's smiling.
6:36
Speaker 1: He knows photo.
6:39
Speaker 2: Federer, when's another grand slam in his first picture?
6:41
Speaker 1: Is it's wonderful? Picture wonderful?
6:46
Speaker 2: I mean, you are like a huge tennis fan. Obviously
6:50
Speaker 2: you was the how many finals have you actually been
6:53
Speaker 2: to Pepes? Was that fetter and a doll one the best?
6:56
Speaker 1: There was some great some Djokovic. I think Djokovic played
7:00
Speaker 1: when that went like for like eight hours or seven hours.
7:03
Speaker 1: It was middle of the night, and I was doing
7:05
Speaker 1: breakfast radio at the time. I almost went straight from
7:07
Speaker 1: the game to my job. So that was extraordinary. I
7:11
Speaker 1: saw Djokovic's first win in a final against someone, yeah, yeah,
7:18
Speaker 1: And I saw with my mom, who loved tennis as well,
7:21
Speaker 1: my dear rest her soul. But she I've took han
7:24
Speaker 1: heard of many tennis matches. Yeah, I've seen a hate.
7:27
Speaker 2: Where was mom on the list?
7:29
Speaker 1: Like?
7:29
Speaker 2: Was she like third? Did you ask a few other people?
7:33
Speaker 1: Mom was always hirst if she wanted to come, So yeah,
7:36
Speaker 1: sometimes she couldn't be bothered. But yes, so we did see.
7:39
Speaker 1: We had some great tennis matches.
7:40
Speaker 3: Tennis player.
7:41
Speaker 1: She wasn't a planer, n She's sport lovers. That's why
7:44
Speaker 1: I got my love of sport, not from my dad really,
7:46
Speaker 1: but from my mom. So she was absolutely calm.
7:49
Speaker 2: I'm jealous of that that Djokovic and Adall. I want
7:51
Speaker 2: to say twenty twelve. Was that six hour plus final
7:55
Speaker 2: incredible to me, one of the all time up there
7:58
Speaker 2: Slam finals as well.
8:00
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jogovic and a dal because they both were
8:02
Speaker 1: baseliners and the points went long, so yeah they were.
8:05
Speaker 1: It was just unbelievably fit a couple of athletes.
8:09
Speaker 2: Crowd behind the doll, but Djokovic took it out.
8:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Jogovic often doesn't have the crowd with him,
8:14
Speaker 1: but I'm a Jokovic fan, but no.
8:16
Speaker 2: He does, he does. Yes, the old boy thirty eight
8:20
Speaker 2: years old, these showing up.
8:21
Speaker 3: I have to respect the guy.
8:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
8:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a time, especially in Australia, I was
8:25
Speaker 1: probably around the pan playing Jemmy or whatever. We got
8:28
Speaker 1: where where he didn't want to get in the facts whatever,
8:30
Speaker 1: but there we go. But actually and people thought he
8:34
Speaker 1: was arrogant and whatever. But I once I was downstairs
8:38
Speaker 1: after a match and again they said do you want
8:40
Speaker 1: to left hont I'm like, yeah, I'll go in one
8:43
Speaker 1: of those, you know, one of the key cars. So
8:46
Speaker 1: I got a left him in one of those key cards,
8:48
Speaker 1: which if you live in Melbourne you see them around
8:50
Speaker 1: generally just tennis playground for the whole tournament and the
8:54
Speaker 1: older lady who was driving. I said to her if
8:56
Speaker 1: he had any one famous in the car. He goes, yeah, yeah,
8:58
Speaker 1: all of them. I said, who do you? She said,
9:00
Speaker 1: I love Djokovic. She said that he had won the
9:03
Speaker 1: tournament maybe the year before, and she was lucky enough
9:06
Speaker 1: to drive him and his mates home or around Melbourne.
9:09
Speaker 1: She said he was the nicest guy, just the bloody
9:12
Speaker 1: She said, he's a real gentleman and didn't have to
9:13
Speaker 1: be anyway. That's and for any Drogovic haters, just that
9:17
Speaker 1: story really made me think, oh, he must be a
9:19
Speaker 1: nice guy.
9:20
Speaker 2: Yeah great. And then because you grew up playing like
9:23
Speaker 2: I actually don't know your history with the sports.
9:25
Speaker 1: I loved it. I never played like I never really
9:28
Speaker 1: played in tournaments. But there was an Ashvelt court on
9:31
Speaker 1: the tech school near my house and me and my
9:34
Speaker 1: cousin Joe would play all the time all summer, would
9:37
Speaker 1: play tennis, so tennis and cricket so Bashfeld bitch.
9:41
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:41
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was not a good court with holes and
9:44
Speaker 1: it was free and yeah, so we had a we
9:46
Speaker 1: had an epic matches like me and Goldstein's matches. Basically,
9:49
Speaker 1: we do have some battles, yes, yeah, my cousin Joe.
9:53
Speaker 1: He would the tactic would if you were you know,
9:55
Speaker 1: if the other guy was on a bit of a
9:57
Speaker 1: had momentum. You just throw your racket over the fence
9:59
Speaker 1: as far wis you can so you can take time
10:04
Speaker 1: to go get it. Like your thoughts.
10:06
Speaker 2: That's interesting. I noticed a lot of like shoe tying.
10:09
Speaker 2: When I seem to have a bit of a lead.
10:14
Speaker 1: Time to breathe, he just goes and.
10:17
Speaker 3: Goes playing the age card.
10:21
Speaker 1: I haven't been fitness, but lately I feel he's got fitter,
10:23
Speaker 1: even though he doesn't look like he has.
10:27
Speaker 2: I have a tubby bitch.
10:30
Speaker 1: Wedding.
10:31
Speaker 3: Yeah he did.
10:32
Speaker 2: That's probably when I was playing my best.
10:35
Speaker 3: Blame man, what's happened?
10:41
Speaker 1: She's fattening him up?
10:42
Speaker 2: So was wanting exactly. So the French Open's coming up,
10:52
Speaker 2: like your tennis watching as a spectator, are you watching
10:57
Speaker 2: like the thousand events or just.
10:58
Speaker 1: Coming out like generally just watch an Australians playing. I
11:02
Speaker 1: watched some are patriots, So I treat all the Australian
11:04
Speaker 1: players like that my children. So yeah, did you hear?
11:07
Speaker 3: Yeah?
11:07
Speaker 1: If any listening, yeah you're listening. But you can get
11:10
Speaker 1: my will if you call him the lessons I'm not
11:15
Speaker 1: put in the world. Not that I'm sure you make
11:18
Speaker 1: money yourself, but it's not easy. Some of those players
11:19
Speaker 1: don't make money, much money. Years ago he was I
11:25
Speaker 1: think it was number one hundred in the world and
11:27
Speaker 1: barely scraping by imagine, if you're the hundreds of most
11:30
Speaker 1: successful accounting in the world, you're doing okay, hundredth comedian, yeah,
11:37
Speaker 1: one hundred tennis players on the on the breadline.
11:39
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
11:41
Speaker 1: They're trying to improve that, I think, but.
11:42
Speaker 2: They are trying to improve it. There is a great book,
11:44
Speaker 2: I think I brought it up before, called The Racket,
11:46
Speaker 2: and it's all about the players on the Challenger Tour
11:50
Speaker 2: and the Future's Tour, and it's like it's comparable to
11:54
Speaker 2: comedy because a lot of them are just kind of
11:56
Speaker 2: scraping by going from city to.
11:57
Speaker 1: City, living in the car car.
11:59
Speaker 2: That's stuff. And it's fascinating because the guy who wrote
12:02
Speaker 2: the book was playing in the air of the Big Three. Yeah,
12:05
Speaker 2: so he's, you know, occasionally in the same circles as them,
12:09
Speaker 2: and you're just seeing someone it's you know, like when
12:11
Speaker 2: I see you backstage at a it's like me, you know,
12:17
Speaker 2: just struggling and then all of a sudden, the icon
12:20
Speaker 2: the myth.
12:24
Speaker 1: But I'm backstaged all those gigs, you know.
12:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, we love and respect I mean the trenches the
12:31
Speaker 4: whole time.
12:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not about the money for me. Luckily You've
12:36
Speaker 1: had made some good investments anyway, you never know, they
12:39
Speaker 1: can go pair shape. The world's changing.
12:42
Speaker 2: So Australian players are like your children. Raffa is your boy? Right?
12:48
Speaker 2: Is your boy named Rauffa?
12:50
Speaker 1: Raffiti?
12:50
Speaker 4: Yes?
12:50
Speaker 1: I want to go in Rafael, but I mean I'm
12:53
Speaker 1: Irish background, so Raphael Huges but is raffiti? So yeah,
13:01
Speaker 1: so Rafa. But it wasn't really over Rafa Adar. I
13:03
Speaker 1: love Raffas, but yeah, I'm I love. My first Australian
13:09
Speaker 1: Open finals I went to was the nineteen eighty six
13:12
Speaker 1: finals where Pat Cash and I was the legend, played
13:16
Speaker 1: Stephan Edberger, Swedish legend, and it was five sets. It
13:20
Speaker 1: was the last, the last Grand Slam played actor Kuyon
13:25
Speaker 1: on grass before they moved to where we are now
13:27
Speaker 1: at Melbourne Park and so and it was an extraordinary
13:31
Speaker 1: match but Edinburgh won. That hurt me. I was I
13:35
Speaker 1: was fifteen or sixteen at the time. And I was.
13:38
Speaker 1: I did not grow up with any you know, my
13:40
Speaker 1: parents were working class and they looked after us, but
13:44
Speaker 1: we didn't have money for I got enough money working
13:47
Speaker 1: a part time job at Woolworth to go to the
13:50
Speaker 1: Australian Open Final. That's how the world has changed. I
13:54
Speaker 1: think now to get the austrain Open Final, you'd have
13:56
Speaker 1: to work probably full time at Woolies for four years.
13:58
Speaker 3: You have to be Dave us now still struggle.
14:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, back in the day, but yeah, Coo Young was
14:05
Speaker 1: a it was a greatble.
14:06
Speaker 4: Have you ever have your kids ever tried tennis? Did
14:10
Speaker 4: you force it on?
14:12
Speaker 1: My daughter played tennis at school last year, but she's yeah,
14:16
Speaker 1: it wasn't not a ball going in. And I'm keen
14:19
Speaker 1: for them because racket sports, they say the best thing
14:21
Speaker 1: for your brain. Really, yes, you want to live a
14:24
Speaker 1: long time tennis that tennis players live longer than anyone else.
14:28
Speaker 2: I've heard this before. The split second decision making and all.
14:32
Speaker 1: The decisions you've got to make when you're playing.
14:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it keeps your brain. And then it's the
14:37
Speaker 2: obviously lateral movement, short bursts of movement. It's like fitness wise,
14:41
Speaker 2: it's just gonna cardiovascularly keep you healthy forever.
14:44
Speaker 1: And the social aspect as well. But tennis players in
14:47
Speaker 1: general apparently lived nine years longer than any other.
14:51
Speaker 2: Sport socially though. I mean, when we play us, you
14:54
Speaker 2: don't say a word to me the whole you don't
14:57
Speaker 2: even look me in the eye.
14:59
Speaker 3: Got about at the start, like, hey, how you going
15:02
Speaker 3: to start?
15:03
Speaker 1: We'll have a bit early on, and then afterwards we played,
15:06
Speaker 1: but I don't want to get distracted focus.
15:09
Speaker 2: He has a method. He'll tell me if I'm winning,
15:11
Speaker 2: how well I'm playing, or like compliment my forehand or something.
15:14
Speaker 2: So because he knows that I'm weak on that chart.
15:19
Speaker 1: And I played a guy the other I play another
15:23
Speaker 1: guy play quite regularly. He's got his own court, so
15:25
Speaker 1: I go to his house. But he has a ball
15:29
Speaker 1: toss that can go anywhere, like it'll just like it'll
15:31
Speaker 1: take four or five throws in the air. And I
15:34
Speaker 1: sort of gently mocked his ball toss one day, but
15:37
Speaker 1: then he locked in from that moment. And so you
15:41
Speaker 1: don't mock the player you're playing. Compliment them, but don't
15:46
Speaker 1: don't sledge them, because it can really become fuel for them.
15:49
Speaker 2: Compliments are worse.
15:51
Speaker 1: I know, absolutely so compliment away, but do not mock
15:54
Speaker 1: them because they no, no, no.
15:56
Speaker 2: No, I won't mock my if he compliments me and
16:00
Speaker 2: then I start missing that shot.
16:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean it's what it is. You know
16:05
Speaker 1: what I've decided that last time we're playing, which helped me.
16:08
Speaker 1: In between points, you don't have to focus. I was
16:10
Speaker 1: focusing too much.
16:11
Speaker 3: You get Yeah, bring that playfulness.
16:13
Speaker 1: Yeah only lot for the last couple of seconds, but
16:17
Speaker 1: in between, just just let your mind relax. That was
16:20
Speaker 1: the latest thing that in our last game that helped me.
16:23
Speaker 1: So I'm going to bring that back.
16:25
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I even call myself, you know, a mental
16:29
Speaker 2: Can you say, a mental little person.
16:35
Speaker 3: On the golf course. Oh, I'm so bad at this.
16:37
Speaker 4: I'm like, you haven't played pages and fine, so what
16:40
Speaker 4: are you talking about?
16:42
Speaker 1: His own worst enemy? You got to get in your
16:45
Speaker 1: own corner. Helps as a Whitney once sun or the
16:50
Speaker 1: greatest love of all learning to love yourself.
16:53
Speaker 3: That's beautiful.
16:55
Speaker 2: But I get in my own head a bit. I mean,
16:57
Speaker 2: you know, there's so much sports psychology, especially tied up
16:59
Speaker 2: with because the score can be ruthless. And last time
17:03
Speaker 2: we played, I think I was up five to three.
17:05
Speaker 2: I had a bunch of set points, couldn't convert, double
17:08
Speaker 2: faulted on one of them, and then I was just
17:10
Speaker 2: kind of ruined. He locked in, started playing consistent, and
17:13
Speaker 2: I was just done. It's just all it takes if
17:16
Speaker 2: you can't convert a set point or match point.
17:18
Speaker 4: Even worse, he's his best day of his life. He's
17:22
Speaker 4: going to replay this episode over and over.
17:25
Speaker 3: Just this little sound.
17:26
Speaker 1: But I was so as a kid that I was
17:28
Speaker 1: so nervous, and I was so like, I was so
17:31
Speaker 1: self obsessed. I only played one tournament in my whole childhood,
17:34
Speaker 1: and I loved the game. And it was called the
17:37
Speaker 1: Schoolboys Down and Warnable, my hometown schoolboys tournament, and I
17:40
Speaker 1: played my first round was against a kid who I'm
17:44
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. His parents owned a fish and chip shop,
17:46
Speaker 1: and he was It was the most I believe, and
17:49
Speaker 1: I'm not being mean, but probably the most overweight kid
17:52
Speaker 1: and warnable and and but I was so nervous. I
17:56
Speaker 1: couldn't get a serving serving and I couldn't do so
18:01
Speaker 1: he beat me, and I remember in my big I'm crying.
18:04
Speaker 3: That was it.
18:05
Speaker 1: I'm a loser and never played another official match again.
18:09
Speaker 1: That's terrible.
18:11
Speaker 2: Where is he now though you know relation, maybe he's
18:20
Speaker 2: well if you say the Aussie players feel like kids,
18:22
Speaker 2: do you I mean, who do you like at the moment?
18:24
Speaker 2: Who do you think is like actually going to get
18:26
Speaker 2: to the second week of the French I.
18:28
Speaker 1: Mean, I love I love the demon, but I just
18:30
Speaker 1: wish you could get over the line against the top players,
18:33
Speaker 1: you know, So, yes, it would be great to get
18:34
Speaker 1: to get into a semi would be good. Now we
18:37
Speaker 1: got to a semi yet, I.
18:38
Speaker 2: Ye, quarters, I think just quarters. Well, he's having a
18:41
Speaker 2: rough season. And do you think it's because he's planning
18:44
Speaker 2: a wedding with Katie Balter?
18:46
Speaker 3: Is that you've had a wedding.
18:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of pressure on the guys, no doubt,
18:51
Speaker 1: because you get a question, you can asked questions you
18:53
Speaker 1: don't even know what they mean. I remember that wedding
18:56
Speaker 1: off because what do you want to do about Bonbonieri?
18:58
Speaker 1: And so I didn't know we had any French friends.
19:02
Speaker 1: He wants what about table runners. I'm like, I don't
19:04
Speaker 1: know it is Kathy Freeman available? These are all questions
19:08
Speaker 1: about the reception and stuff. I didn't understand.
19:11
Speaker 3: There's a lot going on. I mean, you've had a wedding,
19:13
Speaker 3: had a wedding.
19:14
Speaker 2: But I just outsourced my wife just planned everything.
19:17
Speaker 3: Yeah outsoist to your wife.
19:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm not making decisions like I think I
19:24
Speaker 2: found the best method. Would you if she presented me
19:26
Speaker 2: with a decision about like a centerpiece on the table
19:29
Speaker 2: or whatever, you just go, oh, yeah, I see what
19:32
Speaker 2: you're looking at here, And I think you're correct.
19:40
Speaker 1: You've got to focus enough you're actually thinking about. Yeah,
19:43
Speaker 1: you know what I didn't do. I didn't lose weight
19:45
Speaker 1: for my wedding like mine did, so yeah, I was
19:47
Speaker 1: actually put on weight. So my wife was disappointed. But
19:50
Speaker 1: you know, but now we can look back on my
19:52
Speaker 1: wedding photos and I don't look like I've let myself go.
19:54
Speaker 1: So actually, I.
19:57
Speaker 3: Mean it was only last year.
20:01
Speaker 2: Am I the fattest kid and mortable at the moment?
20:04
Speaker 1: Such a relafe to bat you last time? So I
20:07
Speaker 1: can beat the fattest kid.
20:11
Speaker 4: No, I haven't noticed, Jeu, And I'm going back to
20:16
Speaker 4: the States.
20:17
Speaker 2: I'm only going to.
20:17
Speaker 1: Get fat, big serving serving. I've never been in the
20:24
Speaker 1: US open is that fun?
20:26
Speaker 2: I love it. I mean, my sister lives in Queens,
20:28
Speaker 2: so it's just like one subway stop down to where
20:32
Speaker 2: the grounds are and it's uh, it's look for me.
20:35
Speaker 2: The Australian Open is way better facilities by more of
20:39
Speaker 2: a party vibe, but the US is like old grounds.
20:42
Speaker 2: It's kind of this uh sterile just concrete slabs, you
20:47
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It just doesn't look as aesthetic
20:49
Speaker 2: or nice as the AO. Wimbledon obviously has the history
20:52
Speaker 2: and the tradition.
20:54
Speaker 1: And I went for the first time last year.
20:56
Speaker 2: It was amazing worth it right, like.
20:59
Speaker 1: Absolutely and we had to pay you for the tickets
21:02
Speaker 1: to thank god that my wife and daughters wanted to
21:04
Speaker 1: go to the Harry Potter Museum instead.
21:06
Speaker 3: So oh so you went to Wimbledon just with my son,
21:09
Speaker 3: So yeah, that is a win.
21:10
Speaker 1: There was a win for everyone. So yeah, but it
21:13
Speaker 1: was it's smaller than you think.
21:14
Speaker 3: It is tiny, it's quite compact.
21:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just no more space and it does feel yeah, oldie,
21:21
Speaker 1: it feels old, real old school, but.
21:22
Speaker 3: You're just doing the outer court.
21:24
Speaker 1: No, we did get we bought tickets for the main
21:27
Speaker 1: you had to basically because there was no there was
21:29
Speaker 1: no like in austral Open, which is great. You can
21:31
Speaker 1: turn up you know, on the on the day mostly
21:34
Speaker 1: and buy like a ground pas. You can't do it
21:36
Speaker 1: over there. It's it's ballots and stuff. So but so
21:38
Speaker 1: we had to buy tickets to one of the main courts,
21:41
Speaker 1: but we did go to on an outside court to
21:42
Speaker 1: see in Australia played Jordan Thompson and yeah, it became
21:45
Speaker 1: a news story. But it was like three rows of
21:48
Speaker 1: seeding up and you can look this up. Three roads
21:50
Speaker 1: of seeding. I think it's a third round maybe, So
21:53
Speaker 1: he's playing a Frenchman and so the winner was like
21:56
Speaker 1: what they win two hundred and fifty pounds and for
21:58
Speaker 1: those guys that is a lot of money. He's not broke,
22:01
Speaker 1: but it's still they're not number one players. So and
22:04
Speaker 1: Layton Hill was on the other side of the court
22:06
Speaker 1: cheering him on. And but then it's one in, one
22:10
Speaker 1: out for those courts, so you just got to line
22:12
Speaker 1: up and when someone leaves you get to just sit there.
22:14
Speaker 1: So three rows of seating and we're in the second round.
22:16
Speaker 1: There's guy two English guys sat behind us. In the
22:19
Speaker 1: last set. It's the five set. It was an epic
22:21
Speaker 1: match and they just started having the loudest conversation like
22:23
Speaker 1: they were down at the boozer. They were not interested
22:26
Speaker 1: in the.
22:26
Speaker 3: Game, and what was it about? Do you remember?
22:28
Speaker 1: Just I don't know their own lives, but it was
22:31
Speaker 1: loud and like Jordan Doms is like five meters away
22:33
Speaker 1: from a serving. I'm like, guys, my son, actually, sid
22:36
Speaker 1: you're going to tell them to shut up. I'm like,
22:37
Speaker 1: my son's like six seven. I said, why don't you
22:39
Speaker 1: tell me? But he said it's not my role. So
22:42
Speaker 1: I eventually did time to shut up. And with English bloke,
22:45
Speaker 1: big English bloke.
22:47
Speaker 2: You went straight to shut up or do you Was
22:49
Speaker 2: it a shoe?
22:49
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. I wasn't that aggressive. Actually he was aggressive.
22:52
Speaker 3: You do a few look back, So.
22:54
Speaker 1: I just didn't and that wasn't helping. So I said,
22:57
Speaker 1: can we just just keep the noise down? We're trying
22:59
Speaker 1: to watch match, and this guy's things goes. He really's
23:02
Speaker 1: got really aggressive at me, like no one had ever
23:05
Speaker 1: time to sharp his entire life. He said, who are you?
23:08
Speaker 1: Obviously didn't recognize the comedy stylings dabies, He said, are
23:13
Speaker 1: you little Hitler? He called me a little hitler. You've
23:16
Speaker 1: offended because I googled and Hitler's on like three centimes
23:19
Speaker 1: tall and Hitler. I said, I'm big Hitler to you
23:21
Speaker 1: mates so much nice.
23:22
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say I had to
23:24
Speaker 2: google Hitler and not.
23:25
Speaker 1: A good about that. So but yes, anyways, so he
23:30
Speaker 1: did shut up and thank god, and Jordan Thompson won
23:33
Speaker 1: the match, and then people around has got photos with
23:36
Speaker 1: me after the match and.
23:38
Speaker 2: Popular and so you thought it was going to come
23:41
Speaker 2: the fisticuffs.
23:42
Speaker 1: It was a little bit nerve wracking. I'm not gonna lie.
23:45
Speaker 1: So but as soon as the match happened, I went
23:47
Speaker 1: on Instagram and told the story and I became a
23:50
Speaker 1: news story about in Australia, which I was very happy.
23:52
Speaker 2: About, right news dot com dot.
23:55
Speaker 1: Yeah it's still man, they ran with it and yeah,
23:58
Speaker 1: so I was happy with that. So but yeah, but
24:00
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's stand up comedy. Want people to shop,
24:03
Speaker 1: don't we so annoying?
24:04
Speaker 4: But you can't talk during Some people think they can,
24:07
Speaker 4: oh yeah, when they're drunk, especially drunk.
24:10
Speaker 3: Women probably the worst.
24:15
Speaker 4: So many what ones, they're the ones that you gotta
24:19
Speaker 4: be careful.
24:20
Speaker 2: Here's kind of the big question we've been It's obviously
24:23
Speaker 2: the huge news of the year. Alcoriz is out with
24:25
Speaker 2: an injury going into the French so center, it's just
24:29
Speaker 2: looking like a cakewalk for him. Do you think men's
24:32
Speaker 2: tennis is not as good because of the dominance of
24:37
Speaker 2: one guy at the moment?
24:38
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's interesting, isn't it, Because obviously in women's
24:43
Speaker 1: tennis there's just there's no one dominant, so no one
24:47
Speaker 1: really gets to stand out as much you can, because
24:49
Speaker 1: that's sort of they share it around a lot.
24:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Sabalanca, Rebecca and looking like the big
24:54
Speaker 2: two over there, but then it's like a slim it's
24:57
Speaker 2: it's kind of a handful of women that kind of
24:59
Speaker 2: pushed through. So yeah, but it's harder to predict for sure.
25:02
Speaker 1: But it is a weird one because when people come
25:04
Speaker 1: they want to see the big stars, don't they. So
25:06
Speaker 1: and if if all the results are random, well there's
25:09
Speaker 1: really no big star to or degree. But when you
25:13
Speaker 1: do go watch a match, you want to think that
25:15
Speaker 1: both can win. So yeah, I don't know, but obviously
25:18
Speaker 1: we want some unless he was Australian. If Sinner was Australian,
25:22
Speaker 1: we hope that everyone else was injured and he got
25:24
Speaker 1: to play against you know, people rank four hundred in
25:26
Speaker 1: the world, so that we could all feel great about
25:28
Speaker 1: well I could. I mean, you're American, but I'm both
25:32
Speaker 1: come on, all right, I'm by all right game, I
25:36
Speaker 1: was playing Shelton. Who do you go for?
25:40
Speaker 3: You go for shelter, Shelter.
25:47
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's hope that Sinner does have some rung.
25:50
Speaker 2: But if Trump and Elbow they got in a boxing ring,
25:53
Speaker 2: I want Albow.
25:56
Speaker 3: I don't know if he could.
25:57
Speaker 2: No, I watched the ship out of that that would
25:59
Speaker 2: be amazing.
26:00
Speaker 1: And then yes, so that would be amazing. We forget
26:03
Speaker 1: the Trump's about ninety seven years old.
26:05
Speaker 4: He's like she's eighty.
26:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's got some beef on him though. He's
26:11
Speaker 2: a big boy. Have you seen the picture of him
26:14
Speaker 2: playing tennis where he's just got the most gigantic ass
26:17
Speaker 2: you've ever seen.
26:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have large drawers, so they called drawers large
26:24
Speaker 1: yead grandma?
26:24
Speaker 2: And so who do you like for the French? Then
26:29
Speaker 2: on the women's and the men's.
26:31
Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean sab is hard. She is actually
26:35
Speaker 1: very good. How many she won now she got off
26:38
Speaker 1: five is what I mean. I know it's were a
26:41
Speaker 1: few years down the track, but ash party getting bored
26:44
Speaker 1: with being a mother.
26:46
Speaker 2: Get her back.
26:48
Speaker 1: She can afford the child care. Come on, that really
26:52
Speaker 1: annoyed me because she's so good and she just like
26:56
Speaker 1: just got to the peak. Really, Oh god, you see
27:00
Speaker 1: doing ads and you think you don't need to do
27:02
Speaker 1: these ads, you just need to win some tournaments. Go back,
27:05
Speaker 1: surely you're sick of doing.
27:08
Speaker 2: Come on, abandoned your young family.
27:11
Speaker 1: Come on, she was given us so much joy and.
27:18
Speaker 3: Then she just.
27:18
Speaker 1: Pulled the pin.
27:19
Speaker 2: I bet you could get the CEO of Channel nine
27:22
Speaker 2: to like cut off a leg to get ash party
27:25
Speaker 2: back and there.
27:26
Speaker 1: That must have been so sad when she retired. Come on, Brady,
27:32
Speaker 1: with her winning straight over over the off track.
27:35
Speaker 4: I've read because of her coach, her mental coach, Ben Crow. Yes, yeah,
27:39
Speaker 4: have you read any of his books?
27:41
Speaker 1: Well, I know that he coached also Dusty Martin, who's
27:44
Speaker 1: in the NFL Star who got three Best on Grounds
27:48
Speaker 1: and three Grand Finals, which is.
27:50
Speaker 4: He's pretty incredible. But you you read the book and
27:52
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, yeah, I'm going to quit. I'm going
27:54
Speaker 4: to quit whatever I'm doing and focus on my life.
27:59
Speaker 4: It's all about like, yeah, doing what you want to
28:02
Speaker 4: do as a human. It changes your perspective on what
28:05
Speaker 4: you're doing. And I guess Ash was like just just
28:08
Speaker 4: doing tennis and keep going and like winning, and she's like,
28:11
Speaker 4: is this going to make me happier if I win.
28:12
Speaker 3: Any more Grand Slams? And she's like, I don't.
28:15
Speaker 1: Think it would, but would have made me happy.
28:17
Speaker 3: It would have made the country.
28:19
Speaker 1: There's millions of Australian sports fans who every time in
28:22
Speaker 1: Australian wins anything, I just get an adrenaline rush, you know,
28:24
Speaker 1: I get a dopamine.
28:32
Speaker 4: Weren't you playing tennis with Russell? Yes?
28:36
Speaker 1: I thank you for that. Yes, just be careful if
28:39
Speaker 1: you're on Russell Crow's side, if you're like playing doubles
28:42
Speaker 1: with Russell and you're his partner, you get blamed.
28:45
Speaker 4: If you're ever in that situation where you're playing clubs
28:49
Speaker 4: in Sydney.
28:50
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah if you yeah, if
28:54
Speaker 1: the balls in the middle of between you and neither
28:57
Speaker 1: of you get it, it will be your fault. So
29:00
Speaker 1: even though you want to say, Russell, that was close
29:02
Speaker 1: to you, but you don't say that because you're scared.
29:04
Speaker 2: Because imagine Maximus is because he missed a volley, was.
29:10
Speaker 1: Playing with Russell once in Sydney and then someone walked
29:14
Speaker 1: past the court and just recognized me and not him.
29:18
Speaker 1: He had a big bead. I think he's playing Zeus
29:20
Speaker 1: in like one of the thor movies. But yes, so
29:22
Speaker 1: he didn't. And they're talking to me and I'm like,
29:24
Speaker 1: that's oh my god, yes, talk to him to.
29:30
Speaker 3: Me, Oh yeah, you would have got in trouble.
29:38
Speaker 2: I am a chubby bitch. Chubby bitch, chubby bitch.
29:43
Speaker 4: I consume tennis a lot. On socials, it's very good.
29:47
Speaker 4: There's a lot of craziness that happens. And I've got
29:50
Speaker 4: a new segment called Approaching the Net, which I'm famous for,
29:57
Speaker 4: and I'm going to bring.
29:58
Speaker 2: Up some say the name of the segment again, it Approaching.
30:01
Speaker 4: The Net, And I'm going to just show you a
30:07
Speaker 4: couple of my favorite social videos from the week. This

30:59
Speaker 2: but they dress up medieval and like, you know, there's
31:02
Speaker 2: like a guy and stocks that you throw tomatoes at.

Speaker 2: To cry for help, Yeah, I mean sless medieval.
31:42
Speaker 1: Mate, it's a first trap. He's absolutely he's he DMS
31:45
Speaker 1: would have blown up after that. He's like, yeah, I
31:48
Speaker 1: look at May and then he's about four million high Taylor, Yeah,
31:54
Speaker 1: that's it all right.
31:55
Speaker 2: You don't like it, absolutely not? I hate it, right,
32:00
Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is, he is a honky dude,
32:03
Speaker 2: but it's just a bizarre pivot to go to the
32:05
Speaker 2: Renaissance Fair seemingly alone.
32:08
Speaker 4: I reckon he had friends, then the.
32:13
Speaker 3: Muscle shirt, the lace up.
32:14
Speaker 2: Where does this put him going into the French? Do
32:16
Speaker 2: you think you're worried more about his prospects or not?
32:20
Speaker 1: Good? I think he's younger. I think he's going to
32:23
Speaker 1: be better.
32:24
Speaker 4: Not less distractions obviously, like before you break up with someone.
32:27
Speaker 4: I don't know who broke up with her, but it weighs.
32:29
Speaker 3: On your mind.
32:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's probably make this free and easier while he's
32:33
Speaker 4: at the Renaissance Fair, so he's kind of free trying
32:36
Speaker 4: to I don't think she would have gone to Hessance.
32:38
Speaker 2: No, no, he's there trying to pick up a new one. Yes,
32:41
Speaker 2: he's on a one hunt.
32:44
Speaker 3: Good luck to him. We love you, Taylor Swift.
32:49
Speaker 4: All right, My next one is oh, okay, yes, okay,
32:54
Speaker 4: this is crazy. This happened overnight al Crez whilst he's injured.
33:00
Speaker 4: He's done a Vanity Fair cover, and to be honest,
33:03
Speaker 4: the cover looks quite tasteful.
33:05
Speaker 2: So that's not the cover shot.
33:06
Speaker 1: That's the sealed section. I think that one.
33:10
Speaker 3: I mean, gorgeous, but so awkward.
33:17
Speaker 1: My god, it's so funny, all right, that is it's crazy.
33:25
Speaker 4: So he's done this Vanity Fair cover shoot and the
33:29
Speaker 4: cover's great, the cover looks good, but the BTS that's
33:32
Speaker 4: been going.
33:33
Speaker 3: Around on socials is insane.
33:35
Speaker 2: It's just like spreading dirt on him.
33:37
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they've really taken advantage of him. I don't
33:40
Speaker 3: know they have.
33:43
Speaker 1: He would have gone in and knowing that was going
33:44
Speaker 1: to happen. It happens by degrees.
33:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's been a social media manager in the
33:51
Speaker 4: corner just shooting this BTS and this guy's algoraz is like,
33:55
Speaker 4: I don't not even noticing this person, and then the
33:58
Speaker 4: footage that's come out as so funny. But then I
34:01
Speaker 4: read the article. Can I just read you the first
34:05
Speaker 4: paragraph of this Vanity Fair article about one of the
34:08
Speaker 4: world's best tennis players. We're watching our Koraz roll around
34:14
Speaker 4: a brick orange clay, but we're not watching him play tennis.
34:17
Speaker 4: There's some of it on his face, around his thick
34:19
Speaker 4: eyebrows and sprinkled above his lips. It's slightly dusted of
34:23
Speaker 4: his freshly trimmed beard, and his hair longer than usual,
34:27
Speaker 4: a little disheveled. It's all over his clothing too, a
34:30
Speaker 4: Louis vertungue tank top that he'll occasionally let slide up
34:34
Speaker 4: his trute abdomen. Some Nike Jim shorts in brackets six
34:40
Speaker 4: inches in seam in case you're wondering, close bracket. Yes,
34:46
Speaker 4: that off for a glimpse at his tan line and
34:49
Speaker 4: his personal Rolex watch. Al Koraz, like many athletes of
34:53
Speaker 4: his stature, has lucrative apparel contracts. In his case with
34:56
Speaker 4: those brands, he's not quite a style art con though
34:59
Speaker 4: he has his fascinations, like wearing zany highlighted colored looks
35:03
Speaker 4: on the court. And he's three hundred plus strong sneak
35:05
Speaker 4: a collection, but he wears clothes well, it's basically erotically.
35:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is bad. This is Penthouse letters to the editor.
35:13
Speaker 1: Yea, if you're in dust pawn, this is poor guy.
35:17
Speaker 4: Like.
35:17
Speaker 2: What annoys me though, is he's not even playing Clay.
35:20
Speaker 2: He's had the injury, so this is all posturing.
35:23
Speaker 3: This was booked in ages, but also Clay is in sexy.
35:27
Speaker 2: When it's all over your white outfit, it looks like
35:29
Speaker 2: he's had explosive diarrhea.
35:33
Speaker 3: Like it's like bad fake ten that's come off.
35:36
Speaker 1: A lot of women looking at young Oh my god,
35:38
Speaker 1: imagine having to wash that stuff. I know, I get
35:40
Speaker 1: that a lot of n.
35:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks I feel like they did him.
35:48
Speaker 2: But that's.
35:50
Speaker 1: You can get.
35:51
Speaker 4: But I mean, the actual cover is beautiful, Like, he
35:53
Speaker 4: looks great. He would have signed off on that, which
35:58
Speaker 4: I'm sure is great. But the BTS socials that are
36:01
Speaker 4: doing the rounds and like he didn't see those did not.
36:05
Speaker 2: It's only then you got to do all the surfaces.
36:08
Speaker 2: You've got to do a grass stained one and then
36:11
Speaker 2: he'll just be rolling around on.
36:15
Speaker 1: Just bloodyhere be like, yeah, you'll just be burnt basically
36:20
Speaker 1: from the hot core.
36:22
Speaker 3: Degrees. All right, my next one.
36:27
Speaker 4: So we had the met Gala last week, controversial met
36:31
Speaker 4: gala sponsored by Bezos, but Naomi our Sucker was there
36:35
Speaker 4: along with Serena and Venus. They were all there and
36:39
Speaker 4: Naomi famously loves fashion and she was there and we've
36:43
Speaker 4: got this this look that she's doing, which is like
36:47
Speaker 4: a I think it's a nod to her Japanese heritage.
36:51
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about it.
36:52
Speaker 1: They're long, they're long, false.
36:54
Speaker 3: Giving to me.
36:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, the hands are creepy, but maybe that's that's the
36:59
Speaker 4: whole thing.
37:00
Speaker 1: To hold a racket with those.
37:02
Speaker 4: But she loves fashion, but I never feel like it's
37:07
Speaker 4: ever very good.
37:08
Speaker 1: It's meant to be. It's meant to be note worthy
37:10
Speaker 1: on suppose, but yeah, it's be careful.
37:14
Speaker 2: The soccer stands are going to come after you.
37:16
Speaker 3: I know.
37:17
Speaker 4: I mean, I like her, I like what she's doing,
37:20
Speaker 4: and I love the intent. But when I see the fashion,
37:25
Speaker 4: the hat.
37:26
Speaker 2: Is that's kind of cool. A painter's palette, you know. Yeah, yeah,
37:30
Speaker 2: take the pain.
37:31
Speaker 1: Off, or like some sort of thing you put on
37:33
Speaker 1: top of a toilet or something, some sort of a
37:36
Speaker 1: potty you can imagine, you know what I mean. It's yes,
37:40
Speaker 1: it's it's an artic toilet seat.
37:43
Speaker 2: Yeah I should yeah. And the fingernails are given no
37:47
Speaker 2: speratu vibes.
37:48
Speaker 3: And the kind of the red hands, Yeah I.
37:51
Speaker 2: Should say it's not. But it's the Dracula because you.
37:55
Speaker 1: Know what that meant?
37:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, only because I interviewed Sean Mchaela recently and
38:03
Speaker 4: he has just written a book about.
38:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, SEMs written a book about Dracula.
38:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was like, what have you been smoking Sean.
38:16
Speaker 1: Let's be so scared of vampires? Can I say? I will,
38:19
Speaker 1: I will rise your beads to bed for about four
38:21
Speaker 1: years recently. But Stephen Stephen King's book Salem's Life.
38:29
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's a scary book.
38:32
Speaker 1: That that was the mini series.
38:33
Speaker 2: Actually, just one thing on this, Lizzie and I'm surprising
38:39
Speaker 2: you with this, is that some pictures from the met
38:42
Speaker 2: Galla were clearly AI. This one's not. But Rebecca Austin
38:47
Speaker 2: uh I was like, did you pick up on that
38:51
Speaker 2: it was Ai? Because she said she sent me uh
38:55
Speaker 2: Andre Rublo wearing a crazy outfit that was obviously Yeah.
38:58
Speaker 2: And I wrote back and I say, you're a boomer.
39:00
Speaker 2: This is Ai And she was like, well, Lizzie, who
39:03
Speaker 2: fell for it?
39:03
Speaker 3: I just laughed at it.
39:05
Speaker 4: I didn't want to tell her that it was Ai
39:08
Speaker 4: because why, oh, she's going.
39:10
Speaker 3: To produce me in Edinburgh. I was.
39:15
Speaker 4: I was just I was just like, I'll let her
39:18
Speaker 4: have this. But these guys weren't out of.
39:21
Speaker 1: Me saying to Russell, sorry I didn't get that ball
39:23
Speaker 1: when it was clearly closer.
39:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
39:25
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of like terrible AI content in tennis,
39:30
Speaker 4: which I absolutely hate. I saw one the other day
39:33
Speaker 4: and it's like a lady like beating up a guy
39:35
Speaker 4: on the court, and you just I just go to
39:37
Speaker 4: the comments to see I'm hoping people pick up on this,
39:40
Speaker 4: and most people like ai ai ai, and then there's
39:44
Speaker 4: some people like, haha, this is so funny, and I'm like,
39:47
Speaker 4: what is wrong?
39:48
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, have you fallen for any.
39:50
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Yeah, I didn't add reasoning aai
39:56
Speaker 1: my whole complexion, Like they gave me teeth that were great,
40:00
Speaker 1: but they're not my teeth.
40:01
Speaker 2: I've seen that you're in black face in this one.
40:06
Speaker 1: White teeth is what I mean. I mean real white teeth,
40:08
Speaker 1: white teeth out. I won't say because.
40:11
Speaker 3: But and that was approaching the net.
40:18
Speaker 2: Well, husy, we gotta go play. We're gonna go have
40:21
Speaker 2: a quick match.
40:22
Speaker 1: Quick match. They're not quick please, you will go all die.
40:25
Speaker 2: That's because you you the grinding rallies with this man,
40:28
Speaker 2: because he's just like you can't get a rhythm against them.
40:32
Speaker 2: He's just he's steering the ball around.
40:34
Speaker 3: And that's sad.
40:35
Speaker 4: If I catch you, guys, we love an audience, no choke,
40:41
Speaker 4: I don't I don't need to what you guys play tennis.
40:44
Speaker 1: It's a good yeah, but if you want to things
40:47
Speaker 1: to do, if you want to leave after one set, eh,
40:49
Speaker 1: because you've got you know, kids to pick up from school,
40:51
Speaker 1: you have to concede the match I made.
40:54
Speaker 2: We played two sets, we want one each, and he's like,
40:58
Speaker 2: I gotta go, and I'm like and then he was like, no,
41:01
Speaker 2: I really gotta go, and I was like, we'll say
41:03
Speaker 2: I Dave Hughes forfeit the man.
41:06
Speaker 1: He's rupeless. Last time we played, there was a point
41:09
Speaker 1: where I was like four meters behind the baseline and
41:12
Speaker 1: he's hit the ball out of court, but it hit
41:14
Speaker 1: the bottom. He hit my shoe before I hit the ground,
41:17
Speaker 1: literally so far back. I said, yes, it hit my foot.
41:20
Speaker 2: We're a society, Dave, we have rules. Here's he Thanks
41:27
Speaker 2: so much for coming in.
41:28
Speaker 1: It's a joy.
41:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get you back in, I mean tennis and comedy.
41:33
Speaker 2: We'll be back during the French Open to discuss what's happening.
41:38
Speaker 2: I think the women's draws is going to be anybody's
41:40
Speaker 2: bet and the men's we'll see who plays center in
41:43
Speaker 2: the final.
41:45
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, it's very good.
