- 0:46Speaker 2: It's clearly green green, Yeah, you're laughing at me.

- 1:25Speaker 2: Oh but that's orange, it's not orange? Yeah? Yeah, green, orange, red.
- 1:33Speaker 1: You're color blind, I would figure.

- 2:20Speaker 1: Tennis dot com dot au. We're getting tons of feedback. Yeah,
- 2:25Speaker 1: don't be too mean, but some of the ones that
- 2:27Speaker 1: we know are genuinely negative. We like to make fun
- 2:31Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, passive, aggressively or just aggressively.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Well, if you really want to be made please send
- 2:37Speaker 2: them through. We will take it.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Brought to you, as always by Piper Hide.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Sick twisting the scripting. They love us over at pehind Sek.
- 2:50Speaker 1: They do twist the script with Piper Hide Sick. Yeah.
- 2:54Speaker 1: A huge day Day three.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Gosh, out of nowhere. I know Day three is usually
- 2:59Speaker 2: this big no because it was.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Still first round, right, but we had a great time.
- 3:04Speaker 1: We did, and we should say that we know the
- 3:07Speaker 1: big news of the day is Naomi Osaka entering the stern.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Get to that.
- 3:11Speaker 1: We're going to be joined by our very own Eliza
- 3:14Speaker 1: West to discuss all the fashion dues and don't so
- 3:19Speaker 1: far at the Australian Open.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got a lot of things to say.
- 3:22Speaker 1: We interviewed Dematrov's stay tuned for that. We were very
- 3:26Speaker 1: lucky yesterday because after we finished recording, we first went
- 3:29Speaker 1: to the Ben Shelton match rod Leva rod Laver Arena.
- 3:33Speaker 1: He was playing Ugo Humbert.
- 3:35Speaker 2: That was good. Yeah, Ben is so good. He's exciting
- 3:39Speaker 2: to watch.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I like that the gasps on his serve, Yeah, because
- 3:44Speaker 1: he hits it so hard. It was I mean every
- 3:49Speaker 1: time he hit a serve like that, I was reminded
- 3:51Speaker 1: of the wealthy back from the ping pong, which was
- 3:55Speaker 1: probably equal to his two and eight yesterday.
- 4:00Speaker 2: That one when he did that was like, I know,
- 4:03Speaker 2: he is a unit.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Yeah, he's amazing. And then he did have that around
- 4:07Speaker 1: the net shot beautiful, which was amazing to rival Maria
- 4:11Speaker 1: Sacharis as maybe the shot of the tournament. Do you
- 4:14Speaker 1: like Sacharis better?
- 4:15Speaker 2: Hell? Yeah, it was lower and it was right around. Yeah,
- 4:19Speaker 2: it like bent light.
- 4:23Speaker 1: It was some warp speed stuff.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:25Speaker 1: And then I loved his reaction Ben Shelton when he
- 4:28Speaker 1: hit the around the post shot winner, because we were
- 4:32Speaker 1: sitting there watching him and he was right in our
- 4:35Speaker 1: like side of the court and just like a big whoo.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:39Speaker 2: He came up to his coaching box.
- 4:40Speaker 1: And was just like yeah.
- 4:42Speaker 2: And then he lost the next point.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I think because he recognized us. Yeah, we threw him off.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Do you think that after a shot like that, you'd
- 4:50Speaker 2: just be living in your head? You couldn't let that
- 4:52Speaker 2: one go. You'd just be there going like, man, that
- 4:54Speaker 2: was a sick shot. I don't believe I just did
- 4:56Speaker 2: that and then flunk the next shot.
- 4:59Speaker 1: You're already thinking about the highlight reel.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
- 5:02Speaker 1: It's like us, if we land a good joke on stage,
- 5:04Speaker 1: we're like, hope record yeah, because that's going to be
- 5:07Speaker 1: my next real I'm going to get hundreds of likes,
- 5:11Speaker 1: hundreds a Yeah. So he rolled over uh Ugo Umbert
- 5:19Speaker 1: to get through to the second round. This to me
- 5:23Speaker 1: was the match of the day, although there was five
- 5:25Speaker 1: setters all over the place. Match of the day which
- 5:28Speaker 1: we were again there for. The best atmosphere was atmosphere
- 5:32Speaker 1: we've seen.
- 5:33Speaker 2: It was so good to have the French obviously supporting
- 5:36Speaker 2: gilmont fit and the Aussie there supporting Dano.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Sweeney my new favorite player.
- 5:43Speaker 2: He's so good pocket rocket.
- 5:46Speaker 1: He like the movement is insane, like just hamstring snapping,
- 5:52Speaker 1: just splits, splits, stretching. I mean, if he stays healthy,
- 5:57Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think there's really a limit to
- 5:59Speaker 1: his game how he progresses in the tournament. But he's
- 6:01Speaker 1: already winning Grand Slam matches so good.
- 6:04Speaker 2: He was just flinging himself literally diving for shots and
- 6:07Speaker 2: making them multiple times.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And then, like we said, the atmosphere in there, the
- 6:12Speaker 1: French and the Aussie is absolutely going nuts. And the
- 6:15Speaker 1: French because it's a Gael Montfee's last Australian Open. So
- 6:20Speaker 1: it was a bitterswee with Dane Sweeney winning because Gail
- 6:23Speaker 1: mont Fees we won't see playing, you know, in the
- 6:28Speaker 1: main draw at the AO. But he'll be back.
- 6:31Speaker 2: He'll be back.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be in here with us. I'll co host.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go to hell.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Yeah, third chair for Gail.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll make space. We'll do that.
- 6:41Speaker 1: So yeah, he gave a pretty emotional speech at the
- 6:44Speaker 1: end after going out against the Brisbane Australian Dane.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Swing Sweeney Dano as the crowd like to.
- 6:54Speaker 1: What was some of the chants we were hearing from
- 6:56Speaker 1: because he's new so a new player needs a new chance,
- 6:59Speaker 1: and so we were hearing people your Sweeney the machine.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Swen machine.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Swen machine.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Mind.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Yeah, get on board the day train on train. I
- 7:09Speaker 1: just made that one up.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Yeah, we can say that. That'd be a nice post.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I have to tell people that we actually have no courage.
- 7:18Speaker 1: But saw Demon the other day, we saw Sweeney yesterday,
- 7:22Speaker 1: both two syllable names that you could get no non sweeny.
- 7:30Speaker 1: But we chicken out.
- 7:32Speaker 2: We did chicken out.
- 7:33Speaker 5: I know.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I really want to ask those guys on Instagram that
- 7:36Speaker 2: I saw that are doing chance.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Oh yeah, to do it? Yeah, and then they claim
- 7:42Speaker 1: the fame if it.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Goes, because I just don't think we can do it.
- 7:45Speaker 2: From the media box.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. I know it looks bad.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a faux ba. There's like two people from
- 7:54Speaker 2: the media box cheering for one person.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:57Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a good look now, but.
- 7:58Speaker 1: You're meant to, you know, maintain level of professionalism in
- 8:03Speaker 1: the media.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Bomb yeah, and that's what we're about here.
- 8:05Speaker 1: They were not to nark you out, but you were
- 8:09Speaker 1: doing shoies.
- 8:11Speaker 2: I was off my slipper, just a loge of lemonade
- 8:16Speaker 2: straight into my mouth.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Anything else from the matches yesterday that jumps out at you, Lizzie.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sad to see my top one of my
- 8:25Speaker 2: top five gingers go down. Zie zoo Bergs he is out,
- 8:30Speaker 2: but he went down to a friend of the pod,
- 8:32Speaker 2: Herbie her.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Cash, Ubi you be her Cash. He's so close. We
- 8:37Speaker 1: think his name's Herbert, but it's Hubert. I took out
- 8:43Speaker 1: Jesu Bergs.
- 8:47Speaker 3: You know.
- 8:47Speaker 1: It was a tough two sets at first. The time
- 8:51Speaker 1: break went his way in the first set, but then
- 8:53Speaker 1: I took.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Then then he had some foot problem and hey he
- 8:58Speaker 2: had the fall over and they got.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Him classic Herbert.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Other than that, there was again more issues with cramping.
- 9:08Speaker 1: He appears, we'll get to it in a little bit,
- 9:10Speaker 1: but a stomach bug going around. And then Sinner's opponent,
- 9:15Speaker 1: Hugo Guesston, I think tore an ab muscle and was.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Yeah, unables injury, isn't it?
- 9:23Speaker 4: Yes?
- 9:24Speaker 1: But here's my tip. If you don't have abs, you
- 9:26Speaker 1: can't tear them.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Oh it's a hot tip from g Yeah.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I found Seca, the great Brazilian hope went out in
- 9:36Speaker 1: four sets, and which is a shame I think for
- 9:39Speaker 1: the tournament because he brings the crowds and they go nuts.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of Brazilians here as well.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Yeah, so he is out. Unfortunately, in the first round
- 9:50Speaker 1: of the Open, another Aussie player, Christian O'Connell, went out
- 9:54Speaker 1: to Bassi already.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Oh that was sad because he did really well last year.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Would have been good to see him go through.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. There was a great women's match up between
- 10:03Speaker 1: Maddy Inglis and Katie Burrell that went to eleven nine
- 10:07Speaker 1: in the second set tiebreaker. Unfortunately, well, I mean someone
- 10:12Speaker 1: had to lose, and that was Katie Burrell. So Inglis
- 10:15Speaker 1: is through. We'll get to all the Osaka chat in
- 10:18Speaker 1: a second. Another depressing result for us because we love her.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Dasha Kazakina is out.
- 10:29Speaker 2: That's me. Have you been o yet? Oh yeah, but
- 10:36Speaker 2: maybe she'll have more time to come on the pod.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Let's get into some of the headline calls the opponents
- 10:45Speaker 1: against Kirios and Cocinacas in their upcoming match. Kubler and
- 10:50Speaker 1: Pullman's they've an interesting gambit. It's a social media ploy.
- 10:56Speaker 1: They've said if this posts, there's a photo of them
- 11:00Speaker 1: just practicing whatever. And they said, we're playing Cocinacus next.
- 11:04Speaker 1: If this gets ten thousand likes, we will under arm
- 11:09Speaker 1: serve Caryos and Cocinacus.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Once or the whole game.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I mean, that's it should be match.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Okay, don't you thinking about this? You don't say I'm
- 11:22Speaker 2: going for a match of tennis. Let's play a match
- 11:25Speaker 2: of tennis. It's let's play a game of tennis. It's
- 11:29Speaker 2: a game of.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Right, But then post what would you say? What did
- 11:35Speaker 1: you do today, Lizzie?
- 11:37Speaker 2: I had a game of tennis.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Let's see I played a match. No, no, no, no, I
- 11:45Speaker 1: know what you're saying, and I don't care. It's whatever
- 11:48Speaker 1: you want, you know, But I just love that it's angering.
- 11:51Speaker 2: It's all me and yeah, and the tennis is listening
- 11:56Speaker 2: to ane.
- 11:57Speaker 1: So then they post got ten thousand.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Like okay, so they're going to have to underarm set, which.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Is like who cares if you're just under arm serving
- 12:05Speaker 1: once in the match. But like you said, it should
- 12:07Speaker 1: be for an entire I say, an entire game. Within
- 12:11Speaker 1: the match.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I got it.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that will be great.
- 12:15Speaker 2: I think it'll be great. I think they're trying to
- 12:16Speaker 2: get up a bit of support for this match because
- 12:19Speaker 2: obviously special Case will be crowd favorites.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think the curiosity in a trick shot
- 12:25Speaker 1: specialist and then kind of taste of his own medicine thing, right,
- 12:30Speaker 1: you know, let's see it. Just do it. I mean
- 12:32Speaker 1: to do it.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Let's make it interesting.
- 12:34Speaker 1: What could we say we'll do on social media? If
- 12:36Speaker 1: a post gets ten thousand likes.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Yeah, if a post gets ten thousand likes.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I will, okay, I will eat an entire tennis ball.
- 12:49Speaker 2: How would you do? Would you cut it up with
- 12:51Speaker 2: a night No, I feel like it with my teeth
- 12:53Speaker 2: would snap.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:54Speaker 2: I don't think he could chew into it. I think
- 12:56Speaker 2: you'd actually have to cut it up little. If it
- 13:00Speaker 2: gets blended, yeah, you could blend it in the ninja blender,
- 13:05Speaker 2: ninja blender and then put it into a smoothie and
- 13:08Speaker 2: just have it ingest it that way.
- 13:11Speaker 1: God, it's ten thousand and two as well, and then
- 13:14Speaker 1: you'll be sick forever.
- 13:15Speaker 2: That's what the That's what dud Darry did. He lost
- 13:19Speaker 2: a bet and he had a tennis ball in a
- 13:20Speaker 2: smoothie and you had to run off the court.
- 13:23Speaker 1: All right, Well, if we get I don't even know
- 13:25Speaker 1: what our listenership is, but let's say if we get
- 13:27Speaker 1: one hundred thousand downloads for an app by the end.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Of the week, I will one epp yeah, oh wow,
- 13:34Speaker 2: and we will be the number one sports podcast. That
- 13:38Speaker 2: is huge numbers. We need to temper expectations.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Here a.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Net malfunction at the Osaka match yesterday the game, so
- 13:51Speaker 1: this is new as far as I know. Within tennis
- 13:55Speaker 1: in general, they have lights on the posts, the net posts.
- 14:00Speaker 1: If the ball is out, a red light comes on.
- 14:02Speaker 1: If the ball is out, it malfunctioned. The red light
- 14:05Speaker 1: was on during the rally. You can see everyone scrambling here.
- 14:08Speaker 1: They're messing with wires. They eventually got the red light
- 14:12Speaker 1: off on the thing. What do you think the red light?
- 14:15Speaker 1: Do you like it? Do you think it's necessary? Is
- 14:18Speaker 1: it for impaired?
- 14:21Speaker 2: I don't know, it's for I guess it's it just
- 14:24Speaker 2: is it just for everyone watching? It went out, so
- 14:26Speaker 2: they put the red light off.
- 14:27Speaker 1: We already have the electronic line calls like I yeah.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Also with those electronic line calls, because there's always an
- 14:35Speaker 2: umpire off to the side at the matches and I've
- 14:38Speaker 2: noticed watching they make a sound. Yeah, it's not a word,
- 14:41Speaker 2: it's a sound.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Can you do one for it?
- 14:47Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they say if it's a close call
- 14:50Speaker 2: and it's out.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Do you know what I miss is that it's taken
- 14:53Speaker 1: away the human element of like crazy screams from some
- 14:57Speaker 1: of the line judges wout. Yeah, yeah, some people would.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Really Sometimes you get a timid like and then like
- 15:04Speaker 1: people are like what, but yeah, sometimes you would get
- 15:06Speaker 1: a crazy like. You get like they should do Arnie
- 15:13Speaker 1: out calls. Oh, oh amazing. If we can get oppressions
- 15:21Speaker 1: going for the for the recording for the robot line
- 15:24Speaker 1: calls up, that would this. I love when we're watching
- 15:28Speaker 1: live tennis and there's a ball flying through the air
- 15:31Speaker 1: and then people always scream if it goes into the crowd,
- 15:34Speaker 1: catch it, catch it? Uh the chair.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Umpire had a sitter, I would say.
- 15:40Speaker 1: He absolutely must catch that's.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Why he's in the chair. Everybody he never made it.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Yeah, you would never live that down.
- 15:50Speaker 3: That is.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Have you ever had a moment like that, I've dropped one,
- 15:53Speaker 1: I've been in the crowd before and a ball came
- 15:57Speaker 1: towards me and went off the top of the finger
- 16:00Speaker 1: tips and my buddy who I was watching tennis with
- 16:02Speaker 1: so reminds me of it. This was fifteen years ago
- 16:05Speaker 1: and still yeah, he goes, remember when you muffed that catch.
- 16:09Speaker 2: I think I could die happy if something like that
- 16:11Speaker 2: happened to me. Yeah, there was a beautiful moment in
- 16:13Speaker 2: the ashes recently where a guy like split the crowd
- 16:16Speaker 2: ran through it and just caught it one handed with
- 16:18Speaker 2: a beer in the other hand. Oh, legend, absolute legend,

- 18:05Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're ready to take on Rod
- 18:07Speaker 2: labor Arena?
- 18:08Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I Actually who did it better? Liza?
- 18:11Speaker 6: I mean this is a ten out of time Okay,
- 18:15Speaker 6: as I approved this is what I needed. I was
- 18:18Speaker 6: feeling a little bit low today and this just really
- 18:21Speaker 6: got me excited.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Should I walk through the crowd down there like this?
- 18:24Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 18:25Speaker 2: I think I would love to see that.
- 18:26Speaker 1: All I needed to know was it the fashion that
- 18:30Speaker 1: made Osaka or Osaka that made it fashion?
- 18:35Speaker 3: Like?
- 18:38Speaker 1: I really didn't want to do this, Please let me
- 18:41Speaker 1: have my moments. I was immediately mobbed by the general public.
- 18:53Speaker 1: If this whole fashion thing doesn't work out, I can
- 18:55Speaker 1: always become a beekeeper. Be in Osaka for the day
- 18:59Speaker 1: has taught me fashion first, tennis later.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about the let's outfit, let's get into detail.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Well, come on, what am I doing wrong here? What
- 19:13Speaker 1: does she have that I don't besides.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Billions of dollars money to do few grand slams.
- 19:22Speaker 1: And the outfit in general? Like, what do you think
- 19:26Speaker 1: of the frills, the everything? You're not a fan, are you?
- 19:30Speaker 6: No? I'm not a fan. I just don't really understand
- 19:34Speaker 6: why a jellyfish?
- 19:37Speaker 2: Do you think she thinks they're cute?
- 19:39Speaker 6: Probably knowing her they're not cut? Like when I was younger,
- 19:42Speaker 6: we used to fish the jellyfish out the ocean and
- 19:44Speaker 6: throw them on the hot sand. And like, you know,
- 19:47Speaker 6: rip a map. Yeah, I can't really relate to like
- 19:49Speaker 6: loving jellyfish.
- 19:53Speaker 1: If she was forced to play a set in the
- 19:56Speaker 1: outfit would have been.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Awesome tripping over those cans, I give you walk upstairs
- 20:01Speaker 2: in those pans.
- 20:03Speaker 6: I mean the funniest part about it to me was
- 20:05Speaker 6: the tennis shoes that you left the tennis shoes at
- 20:07Speaker 6: the Yeah. That we then didn't like go full out
- 20:10Speaker 6: and just like go run away.
- 20:13Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. And do you think this is it? Like
- 20:16Speaker 2: you come out round one like this round two? What's
- 20:21Speaker 2: it going to be?
- 20:22Speaker 1: Is she going to up the ante every time?
- 20:24Speaker 2: I don't know, very curious. You've got to do something.
- 20:27Speaker 1: And then also if she lost that match, which she
- 20:29Speaker 1: was kind of on the verge of doing, does that
- 20:31Speaker 1: just ruin the whole outfit? Do you know what I mean? Like,
- 20:34Speaker 1: is it it was too much effort put into that
- 20:36Speaker 1: and not into practice.
- 20:37Speaker 6: I'm sorry, right, And you're kind of asking for it
- 20:40Speaker 6: if you do lose first round. So she's a good
- 20:43Speaker 6: thing she pulled through.
- 20:44Speaker 2: From her perspective, I wonder if this is her succession
- 20:47Speaker 2: planning to she wants to get into fashion afterwards?
- 20:50Speaker 6: Maybe, Yeah, I mean she's been a chair of a
- 20:52Speaker 6: met gala before, and I think, you know, I appreciate again,
- 20:56Speaker 6: like she pushes the envelope and she tries new things.
- 20:59Speaker 6: But I just really wish there was a way to
- 21:02Speaker 6: connect it to the heritage of the sport. There's such
- 21:04Speaker 6: a long history of tennis fashion.
- 21:06Speaker 1: At least you know they're all trying something like I
- 21:09Speaker 1: would walk out in socks and sandals. I think, oh yeah,
- 21:12Speaker 1: maybe some overalls and then like striped down. Yeah, every
- 21:19Speaker 1: bathroom break. I gotta get.
- 21:22Speaker 2: You're just like a past the parcel. You come out
- 21:24Speaker 2: and strip down every bathroom break, you outfit, new outfit. Yeah, yeah,
- 21:29Speaker 2: that would be said a tear away. I feel like
- 21:33Speaker 2: a bit more wrestling style. Maybe a few capes on
- 21:37Speaker 2: the entrance, maybe a cape. I like people should be
- 21:41Speaker 2: able to choose their own entrance music though, that would
- 21:44Speaker 2: be cool. I do agree unc style, I don't think
- 21:47Speaker 2: they do well.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I feel like the prettiest bride at the wedding. I
- 21:52Speaker 1: guess there's only one bride at the wedding, the prettiest. Well,
- 21:57Speaker 1: it's been awesome having you on and which want to
- 22:00Speaker 1: get you in again. Before that all wraps up, sounds
- 22:02Speaker 1: good than.

- 25:19Speaker 1: That's great. What's the weirdest thing you've ever found in
- 25:22Speaker 1: your tennis bag?
- 25:25Speaker 3: Oh?
- 25:25Speaker 4: My god, I can't even say that.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Really.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Yeah, there was an inside joke many years ago.
- 25:36Speaker 1: I can't say what it is.
- 25:39Speaker 4: But it was by far one of the funniest things.
- 25:43Speaker 4: And I'll just tell you this, guys. If I would
- 25:48Speaker 4: have opened my bag in the men's locker room, that
- 25:53Speaker 4: will be for life, Like I think everyone will know.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was.
- 25:58Speaker 4: So I'm so grateful that it did not, because what
- 26:02Speaker 4: happened is that yeah. Yeah, yeah, I can't I really
- 26:06Speaker 4: can't say it. Like it's so.
- 26:08Speaker 3: I was like, so it was me.
- 26:10Speaker 4: So we're in Cincinnati. It was me, Serena Venus has
- 26:15Speaker 4: a bunch of us and we had that inside joke
- 26:18Speaker 4: that there was this item that we were supposed to like,
- 26:23Speaker 4: and there's the person with But we were all very
- 26:26Speaker 4: mindful always like when we opened our bags, because you
- 26:29Speaker 4: could put in their purse bags, you know, and we're
- 26:32Speaker 4: traveling like to like a couple of tournaments together, and
- 26:37Speaker 4: then I was I put that item into their bag
- 26:40Speaker 4: and you know, more acceptable, I guess, and you know,
- 26:43Speaker 4: they're like, oh my god, we found it.
- 26:45Speaker 1: It was in this bag.
- 26:46Speaker 4: I was like, oh great, and then the item never
- 26:49Speaker 4: ended up in my bag and I and I kind
- 26:51Speaker 4: of started like forgetting about it. And then long story short,
- 26:55Speaker 4: go to to the locker room. I got the bag
- 26:59Speaker 4: and you should I keep my back in a certain way,
- 27:01Speaker 4: but this sounds like, you know, I'm just going to
- 27:02Speaker 4: keep it up differently, and you end zip the whole
- 27:06Speaker 4: thing up, and I'm like, I'm this time, I was like,
- 27:09Speaker 4: I'm just gonna zip a little bit. I don't know
- 27:10Speaker 4: why it was in a rush. And then I put
- 27:11Speaker 4: my hand inside and I found the item inside, and
- 27:15Speaker 4: I was thinking to myself, have I opened this bag?
- 27:21Speaker 4: I really really don't know how it would have gotten
- 27:23Speaker 4: out of that one.
- 27:25Speaker 1: So that is all right, this is a huge. It's
- 27:32Speaker 1: huge the word yeah, you heard it here? First, Dimitrov
- 27:39Speaker 1: travels with a gun. All right, we'll play a quick
- 27:47Speaker 1: game before you see the little ping pong table over here.
- 27:50Speaker 1: We're going to wrap up over there, but first we
- 27:52Speaker 1: playing a game here on pod labor arena. Guessed the grunt.
- 27:57Speaker 1: It's grunts from present players and pass so there could
- 28:01Speaker 1: be a deep cut in here. I'll play you one.
- 28:03Speaker 1: We're playing along as well, because we might not know,
- 28:06Speaker 1: so I'll give you I think an easy one up.
- 28:09Speaker 4: Time that arena.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, straight up? Okay, right now, sable Anca, that's easy.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Let's go.
- 28:21Speaker 5: Oh I know this now, I think you've got it.
- 28:32Speaker 1: You got it?
- 28:35Speaker 4: No, God, I know it's a current player.
- 28:44Speaker 3: It is, is it?
- 28:50Speaker 4: It's one second?
- 28:51Speaker 1: No, yep, go again, Lizzie, it's Jocovic. No, you don't
- 29:00Speaker 1: hear that stretching for a backhand or something?
- 29:03Speaker 2: Maybe maybe?
- 29:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Also the noise I make when I see Pepperoni.
- 29:16Speaker 1: We've been wrapping up the interviews we're doing today by
- 29:20Speaker 1: playing our own little one point slam on the ping
- 29:22Speaker 1: pong table. You played sting pong before, or paing pong.
- 29:26Speaker 1: If you lose the point, the other person gets to
- 29:28Speaker 1: hit the ball at your back. Yeah, so it's going
- 29:32Speaker 1: to be you versus Lizzie. Let's do that. Yeah, all right,
- 29:39Speaker 1: here we are for another round of the one point slam.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Grigor Dimitrov versus Lizzie who Lizzy taken away? All right,
