Speaker 1: We get you through the morning every day, Adelaide.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome to the podcast. Great decision. You're really really
Speaker 2: setting up your life beautifully by doing that. Somebody who
Speaker 2: was absolutely dominating that life his camera guy, Josh, and
Speaker 2: he's in here, Josh, Hey, Hey, we're about to go
Speaker 2: into a little chat with Maps expert John Aiken. Can
Speaker 2: we just rewind for a second to a round about
Speaker 2: this time last year when we got to catch up
Speaker 2: with him in person.
Speaker 3: I know it was it was like a fever dream,
Speaker 3: because one he flew to Adelaide to just hang out
Speaker 3: at Billies in elizabeth with us, and then afterwards he
Speaker 3: was like we were having that piet in context and
Speaker 3: he goes, yeah, I'll just I'll stick around and watch this.
Speaker 3: And I remember like being like halfway through my third
Speaker 3: pie and looking up and seeing John Aiken from Maps going,
Speaker 3: come on, Josh.
Speaker 4: This guy was an absolute dynamoe, like a genuinely nice guy.
Speaker 4: And he could have just left it.
Speaker 2: You could have done in and done his little piece
Speaker 2: on air and then jump back into his car and
Speaker 2: probably gone back to the airport. But instead he stayed
Speaker 2: for an actually hour I reckon, Yeah.
Speaker 3: He did talking to literally everyone like dishing out relationship
Speaker 3: advice letteright and center.
Speaker 2: Yeah and fast forward, happily engaged about to get made
Speaker 2: thanks to John Akin.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 3: John Aiken's Australia is a favorite social experiment.
Speaker 1: It's fact, Joates, Oh is it what married at First Sight?
Speaker 6: This is season eleven, and the beautiful host and the
Speaker 6: king of Married at First Site joins us.
Speaker 1: Now and that is John Akin. Good morning, Yes.
Speaker 5: Good morning you too. I'm so excited about this eleven season.
Speaker 4: Nowness that flown.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's amazing. It's been a decade in my
Speaker 5: life and you know there I was working in private practice,
Speaker 5: quietly got an audition for this show and then it
Speaker 5: exploded to the point where it's a big, big part
Speaker 5: of the whole network and the launch ship every year
Speaker 5: after the tenant.
Speaker 6: So here's a question for you, John, in that decade,
Speaker 6: how many couples do you think have made it and
Speaker 6: survived and are still together?
Speaker 5: That's a stat I think we've got about five still together,
Speaker 5: which you know, you know, out of eleven seat or
Speaker 5: ten season should I say? I mean, it isn't an
Speaker 5: easy experiment to navigate because there's so many challenges. The
Speaker 5: cameras are on your twenty four to seven and frankly,
Speaker 5: the people that put their hands up for it, you
Speaker 5: know they're often single, but they're not sure why, and
Speaker 5: so you know they often repeat problem patterns that end
Speaker 5: up for them breaking up.
Speaker 2: On the show's there's a lot in that, isn't it
Speaker 2: whole understand?
Speaker 6: And I love that you're the man to deliver the
Speaker 6: news why someone is single.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think when you watch it, you
Speaker 5: can see within ten minutes why that person is in
Speaker 5: fact single. The question is is whether they can take
Speaker 5: on board some home truths that I dish out and
Speaker 5: whether they can adjust and change. Now, some of them
Speaker 5: can do that, but a lot of them just say, look,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm going to keep doing what I do.
Speaker 5: And that's one of the things that makes people really
Speaker 5: watch it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well, we can speak from experience because ourb our newsreader
Speaker 6: is also single. She's in her mid thirties. We try
Speaker 6: to explain to her all the time why she's single.
Speaker 6: She just doesn't listen, Josh, I.
Speaker 4: Don't think she wants to understand.
Speaker 5: I know, and you know that this cast is no
Speaker 5: different this year. We've got people although in saying that
Speaker 5: it is. We do have a sixty two year old,
Speaker 5: one of the oldest participants we've ever had in the mix.
Speaker 5: We've got a same sex couple, and I think our
Speaker 5: people are very relatable this year. But they still have
Speaker 5: the same relationship issue that you can come up, whether
Speaker 5: it's they're scared of intimacy, or they got their walls
Speaker 5: up because they've had their heart broken, or they think
Speaker 5: they're ready for commendment but in fact they're not. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know all sorts of things.
Speaker 6: Well, you speak of the gay couple, and that brings
Speaker 6: us to Simon, who's thirty nine. He's a marketing manager
Speaker 6: from good Old Adelaide's South Australia. So he was married,
Speaker 6: he has a child, but then before his thirtieth birthday.
Speaker 1: Came out and said I'm gay.
Speaker 5: Yes, the story quite a story and in this storyline,
Speaker 5: while I can't go into all the specifics of it,
Speaker 5: it is quite quite a journey that he goes on.
Speaker 5: And you have to watch early because there is something
Speaker 5: that happens in his matching that we've never had before.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, that's got me in.
Speaker 4: That's a hook.
Speaker 6: Okay, So who's going to be the polarizing character this
Speaker 6: time around, because there's always one.
Speaker 1: There's a guy in the promos who's got a top
Speaker 1: man bun. He's my pick.
Speaker 5: We do have some man buns in the mix this year.
Speaker 5: I'm even thinking of growing the hair out. I mean,
Speaker 5: maybe this is where it's said it now, but look,
Speaker 5: I think with our cast this year, we do have
Speaker 5: and I know the person you're talking about, Jack, You
Speaker 5: I think he calls himself an alpha in some of
Speaker 5: the teasers. He's certainly a main player in all of this.
Speaker 5: He and I have words on many occasions, which you know,
Speaker 5: like like a lot of people, I think when they
Speaker 5: come on this show, they probably don't get the feedback,
Speaker 5: but I give them and they probably never heard it before,
Speaker 5: so it is remarkable to watch how they receive it.
Speaker 5: I think. Also another person who's a big player is Laurence,
Speaker 5: so you want to look out for her. She's a
Speaker 5: very big personality.
Speaker 2: Hey, John, is some of your feedback just going back
Speaker 2: to Jack? Some of your feedback to him? And when
Speaker 2: he wears a suit to wear socks with his shoes
Speaker 2: because he's I would just look at the promo shots
Speaker 2: here and he's rocking that hole. Was it sockless look,
Speaker 2: and I just don't think it's yeah.
Speaker 5: Look, I'm going to be honest. This fashion statement came
Speaker 5: in a couple of years ago. I remember a couple
Speaker 5: of seasons ago, these guys would walk in with no
Speaker 5: socks and there they're sort of pants rolled up three
Speaker 5: quarter length, and I was like, I'm not sure if
Speaker 5: I really I can accept this, but it seems to
Speaker 5: have stuck. It's a look now and I've got to
Speaker 5: embrace it.
Speaker 1: I always think, God, that would stink.
Speaker 6: Today.
Speaker 1: No socks. That's me.
Speaker 5: There's many things that go through my mind when I
Speaker 5: sit on.
Speaker 6: That exactly, John Aken, as always, it's an absolute pleasure
Speaker 6: to have a chat with you. We'll catch up with
Speaker 6: you mid season just to see how things are going.
Speaker 5: Okay, fantastic. Enjoy it. It's a it's a great watch
Speaker 5: in that first episode. Just really prepare yourself. Wedding ceremony yep,
Speaker 5: something that the family and friends do at one of
Speaker 5: the ceremonies, which is absolutely shocking.
Speaker 4: So look out.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: Well, as we always say on this show, Andrew Hayes,
Speaker 1: love is love. Love is love.
Speaker 5: John Ak, guys, you enjoy here's what you're waking up
Speaker 5: to adelaide, what's the news today.
Speaker 6: Post news everything you need to know to get your
Speaker 6: day under the way.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Abby in the newsroom. What you got
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 9: As we've discussed, thousands of students are heading back to
Speaker 9: the classroom today, but this little story peaked my interest
Speaker 9: over the weekend.
Speaker 1: St.
Speaker 9: Andrew School in Walkerville are trying to help students with
Speaker 9: their anxiety on day one. So it can all be
Speaker 9: a little bit full on, especially if it's a new
Speaker 9: school or you're heading there and you know you've finished
Speaker 9: primary school. Your friends are going to a different school.
Speaker 9: So Panda and Pepper, who are not students there, kavoodles
Speaker 9: will be out the front and they'll be greeting students as.
Speaker 1: They walk in. They want a hand from Sid.
Speaker 9: You could send sit along, I'm sure Rock up. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it makes kiddies feel good, does he she? I wouldn't
Speaker 9: send Tank and Tory because they would probably terrorize you.
Speaker 1: Exactly right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about tour in particular, just giving it to
Speaker 2: the school kids.
Speaker 9: And then gives them a false sense of security, lets
Speaker 9: them walk up to them and then barts. So yeah,
Speaker 9: but anyway, have a great day at school and there's
Speaker 9: a few who are still off. I know that some
Speaker 9: of my nieces and nephews don't go back until tomorrow,
Speaker 9: so their parents are very much on the countdown to that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can imagine things have changed, have they?
Speaker 2: Yes, they have over the years in terms of I
Speaker 2: remember going. I remember going to primary school. It's one
Speaker 2: of those locked in memories that I've that I had,
Speaker 2: that that that feeling where I must have been five
Speaker 2: or six, Yeah, and mum left, and just that.
Speaker 4: Feeling of being alone.
Speaker 1: It's awful.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, just stayed with me for my whole life.
Speaker 1: I hated primary school. I used to go to sick
Speaker 1: Bay all the time? Did you just go? Can you
Speaker 1: come a mum? Yeah, you don't want to be there?
Speaker 1: And horrible teacher. Wow, what a sad story.
Speaker 6: Anyway, enjoy your first day back, kiddies.
Speaker 4: Travel Tasmania. What a beautiful but.
Speaker 1: Oh dear, what about this?
Speaker 6: For the first time ever, the South Australian economy has
Speaker 6: been ranked number one in the nation in a new
Speaker 6: report by COMSEC.
Speaker 4: What about that?
Speaker 6: And she driven my population growth and housing activity?
Speaker 1: Do you reckon?
Speaker 5: Hot?
Speaker 1: Mally will be all around this today? What time is
Speaker 1: his press conference.
Speaker 4: You think you'd have something to say one of two words,
Speaker 4: would he.
Speaker 6: Look, he will be spooking our great state, which is good.
Speaker 6: But so we don't want too many people to come
Speaker 6: here because I like the fact that it takes seven
Speaker 6: minutes to get to work, isn't it good?
Speaker 2: We still go by that manter as well. Anyone who
Speaker 2: bags South Australia to go on the Eastern States, it
Speaker 2: means that they haven't been here. Yes, and we kind
Speaker 2: of want to keep it that way. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, you still want tourism. So it's just a
Speaker 2: weird little thing that we've got going on.
Speaker 1: Come stay for a little while, but then off you try.
Speaker 4: Come stay, but don't go to any of the good bits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that could be the new tagline.
Speaker 4: Yeah it's good, Come stay, don't do much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come and stay, but please leave and then you
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 4: Off.
Speaker 6: It's like when your relatives come and stay your house
Speaker 6: for a day or so.
Speaker 9: It's like when I have a party and all the
Speaker 9: banners across the things say please leave by nine pm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my bedtime's nine five.
Speaker 4: Trickly out by nine pm. Hey, let's write this up.
Speaker 2: A little bit of sport we'll talk about cricket a
Speaker 2: little bit later on with a great time round after
Speaker 2: seven o'clock, but the tennis are wrapped up over the
Speaker 2: weekend as well. Around Saberlenca absolutely smashed it in for
Speaker 2: her second Australian Open, and then.
Speaker 4: Last night I went to bed.
Speaker 2: Daniel Medvedev, who's an interesting character, it must be said,
Speaker 2: was up two sets to love midway through the third
Speaker 2: you thought and the commentators were saying, oh, I sense
Speaker 2: an opportunity here for Yannick Sinner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I look at my phone this morning.
Speaker 7: Smashed it.
Speaker 4: He sets the love down, he comes back and wins.
Speaker 1: He's only kid, isn't he.
Speaker 4: He's about twenty two here he is postmatch. The support
Speaker 4: has been crazy throughout to hold two and two weeks.
Speaker 7: It makes me, you guys make me feel home. So
Speaker 7: thank you so much.
Speaker 3: It's it's a quarterly fifteen thousand people, but it feels
Speaker 3: like much more.
Speaker 4: So thank you so much for everyone. A NEMA, we
Speaker 4: love you.
Speaker 6: You're just gonna say nice things to us, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: you just have to talk us up and that's it.
Speaker 6: Did you see Basil's implus he got himself in hot
Speaker 6: water over the weekend.
Speaker 4: He did, didn't he?
Speaker 1: Oh, if you didn't see it. He was about to
Speaker 1: have a press conference.
Speaker 6: He didn't realize the cameras were rolling, and he suggested
Speaker 6: that the women's final was a reserves match, which he
Speaker 6: was arguing was taken out of context. He was talking
Speaker 6: about it's the reserves because I'm presenting the news, so
Speaker 6: that's why it's the reserves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what did you make if it happens?
Speaker 9: When I first saw the video, I was like, are
Speaker 9: you kidding me? But then reading into the whole thing, Yeah,
Speaker 9: it kind of was taken out of context.
Speaker 1: It's a lesson for young players, though, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cameras are always.
Speaker 4: Rolling, and we're in front of you, and there's a mic.
Speaker 1: There always a mic.
Speaker 4: They're picking stuff up. Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, rough weekend for bas.
Speaker 4: Must be Basil's first time in front of the camera.
Speaker 2: I remember a few days ago and we spoke about
Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson how she told what she likes to do
Speaker 2: in the shower. Remind me, yeah, you a fish? She
Speaker 2: said she likes too, and she can't help, but she
Speaker 2: likes to quite regularly urinate in the shower.
Speaker 4: That classic, classic Dirty Bird Kelly.
Speaker 1: Clark, Classic Clarkson.
Speaker 2: And I told you how much I like to eat
Speaker 2: in the shower and also drink beers in the shower,
Speaker 2: because the shower's there for much more than just washing yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, guess what.
Speaker 2: There's another celebrity that jumped on board the shower train,
Speaker 2: and that is living your life in there. So can
Speaker 2: you take a shower with me?
Speaker 1: Oh god, I.
Speaker 2: Highly recommend you do. Don't take this the wrong way,
Speaker 2: but come on, take this little journey. But let's have
Speaker 2: a shower.
Speaker 4: Oh there it is. Jessica. Bill's the latest to come
Speaker 4: out to do something in the shower.
Speaker 1: What does she like to do?
Speaker 2: She's offered an insight into a daily routine by revealing
Speaker 2: her peculiar habit of eating in the shower, which is
Speaker 2: divided opinion, of course, but she's taken it the next
Speaker 2: step up. She's said in a recent TikTok post that
Speaker 2: she likes to eat and drink in the shower. Shower
Speaker 2: provately arpans like cereal or yogurt, tea popsicles, to which
Speaker 2: she said, I know melk factor, right, but safe you know,
Speaker 2: anything that drops, you're good.
Speaker 1: Love that from jess I love your just beel impression.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 4: Basically, what she's saying is you can do absolutely anything
Speaker 4: in the shower, and I mean anything.
Speaker 2: I don't think you understand what goes on in the
Speaker 2: Hayes household inside the shower.
Speaker 1: Do I want to know while we're showering?
Speaker 4: How do you think? What do you think Kara and
Speaker 4: I get up to in the shower?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Wow, what do you go and have a guess?
Speaker 1: It's escalated? Go I have a well, the kids home
Speaker 1: or the kids out.
Speaker 4: They might be home, they might be out.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you anyway. Number One, Car and I actually
Speaker 2: got married in the shower, which is nice. Number two
Speaker 2: Car gave birth to all three of our kids in
Speaker 2: the shower.
Speaker 4: That's how much we get around the shower.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Number three, the kids are homeschool, so we teach the
Speaker 2: kids in the shower whilst they're showering as well. So
Speaker 2: basically what we do in the shower is everything except
Speaker 2: for wash ourselves.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So that's just that's just a bit of an insight
Speaker 4: into what happens in.
Speaker 1: The ha That's a real twist on showering things.
Speaker 4: You can get involved as well to your bunch of
Speaker 4: dirty birds.
Speaker 2: I fought do below nine one nine because Jess Bills
Speaker 2: come out and she's bang on board, especially the pop
Speaker 2: school thing and the coffee thing, and everything hits the floor.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if she's eating it once hits a floor.
Speaker 2: Showers are free goes, aren't?
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure about eating yogurt in the shower, Like
Speaker 6: what if the water gets into the yogurt water?
Speaker 2: I can't just turn it up and not Let me
Speaker 2: get on your back there its what have you been doing.
Speaker 1: Together?
Speaker 5: Ever?
Speaker 1: Again?
Speaker 4: Dirty back? Give that a bit of a scrub. Please,
Speaker 4: this may take well, folks, Let's get to the break.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: That's a job. That's a joke.
Speaker 7: That's a joke, joke, A terrible job.
Speaker 4: Led so so courageously by news reader Abby good Morning,
Speaker 4: the Queen of humor.
Speaker 9: I just spent all weekend looking for the best joke possible.
Speaker 4: Look for it. It comes to you.
Speaker 2: It comes to a Sometimes the good jokes knock on
Speaker 2: Abby's door and like, can you please can we do
Speaker 2: a little collaboration.
Speaker 9: There's been plenty of jokes that have knocked on my
Speaker 9: door over the years.
Speaker 4: Or who wants to kick it off? This week? You
Speaker 4: want to do the honors jokes.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you like Andrew Hoes.
Speaker 6: What did the yoga instructor say when her landlord tried
Speaker 6: to evict her?
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: No, I must stay.
Speaker 2: I'll go next to before we build up to the
Speaker 2: grand finale, and that is always news. So, guys, she's
Speaker 2: hard to get an apartment at the moment, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Five ants actually rented an apartment with another five ance
Speaker 2: now they're tenants.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. That's really nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you described your joke as kind of dirty,
Speaker 6: and there's no such thing.
Speaker 1: It's either dirty or it's not well.
Speaker 9: Because Andrew ended up in HR last week, I'm trying
Speaker 9: to play it down so they don't come after me. Okay, okay, Ready,
Speaker 9: Duffy Duck is on a night out and he meets
Speaker 9: a woman Duck. They head back to his hotel and
Speaker 9: you know, things are going pretty well and he calls
Speaker 9: down to reception and he says, could.
Speaker 1: You guys bring up a little bit of protection for me?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 9: So the reception says, sir, should we stick it on
Speaker 9: your bill? And Duffy replies, are you bloody stupid?
Speaker 7: On?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: A lot to.
Speaker 1: So much.
Speaker 6: Yeah, morning to all the Duck fans out.
Speaker 2: The closest thing that we've got to Daffy Duck is
Speaker 2: probably Tom Rain. He's going to join us next weekends
Speaker 2: Studio Magic Tommy.
Speaker 10: Actually, I've got little Charlie starting his first day today,
Speaker 10: five year old, first day receptions, big day, big day.
Speaker 7: So the big day is sport as well.
Speaker 11: Want to just go back to U.
Speaker 7: Is he excited or in.
Speaker 10: Fact he's warning school uniform the last three days at home.
Speaker 10: That's because he's so excited. So he's he's pumped.
Speaker 1: Up for him and he's got a better dress sense than.
Speaker 4: See what's he wearing In terms of his sports.
Speaker 2: He's got one Nike shoe on, one rebop, one Pume
Speaker 2: Soft one.
Speaker 7: Soccer soccer shorts.
Speaker 10: Then he's got an Adelaide United top.
Speaker 11: Then he's got crow sos. In the Melbourne victory, not
Speaker 11: about the fashion, Let's talk about the cricket. What about
Speaker 11: that for a finish hag?
Speaker 6: Was that?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 10: And I reckon there's probably eighty ninety percent of Australian
Speaker 10: fans that were as happy as the West Indies were
Speaker 10: when they won. You know, I think everyone just understands
Speaker 10: how great they used to be and you know how
Speaker 10: far they've fallen and the fact that it's not pride
Speaker 10: of place.
Speaker 7: In the Caribbean anymore.
Speaker 10: But a result like that hopefully invigorates the next generation
Speaker 10: to say, I want to be like Shama Joseph.
Speaker 7: I mean, how good was he?
Speaker 1: I was sitting there going, is it wrong that I
Speaker 1: really want the West indistinct?
Speaker 7: No, not at all.
Speaker 10: I think I think everyone I'd be fascinated to hear
Speaker 10: from the listeners. I think they'd be the same. Most
Speaker 10: people were rap. What about a celebration. I thought he
Speaker 10: was going to run out of the stadium and run
Speaker 10: down the street for another three.
Speaker 4: Or four game.
Speaker 1: He started marathon a few laps of the echo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, over the celebration and inside the Fox
Speaker 2: commentary boxes all the vision of Brian Laha and Gil Christ.
Speaker 2: Bothy's Australia's greatest of all time.
Speaker 4: He's celebrating with the rest.
Speaker 7: It was great.
Speaker 10: And then Carl Hooper was there, you know, just really
Speaker 10: good to see a couple of those West Indian legends
Speaker 10: just getting so much enjoyment. First win on Australian soil
Speaker 10: in twenty seven years since ninety seven. So fabulous result
Speaker 10: for them. Not so good for the Aussi's poor Traviy
Speaker 10: King peir oh yeah, coming off the one hundred those
Speaker 10: so look maybe they need a bit of a break.
Speaker 7: But not a great result for the Australian.
Speaker 2: It's huge, huge summer awards for Travis Head. There was
Speaker 2: a positive Steve Smith is back cemented looks good at opening.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and carried his bat I mean, you know, ninety
Speaker 10: one not out. He did everything he could. He just
Speaker 10: literally ran out of partners, so you know, batter well,
Speaker 10: that will do him the world of good just getting
Speaker 10: that one innings under his belt. Otherwise the narrative would
Speaker 10: have been is this spot right for him? So the
Speaker 10: fact he was able to do that, I think, you know,
Speaker 10: probably gives him that surety that it's going to be
Speaker 10: okay going forward.
Speaker 1: Let's talk tennis.
Speaker 10: How good Yanick Sinner twenty two year old? Are we
Speaker 10: seeing the generation next?
Speaker 7: I think so.
Speaker 10: Now Novak obviously incredible and probably will win another slam
Speaker 10: he's got twenty four. But I think now that Sinner's
Speaker 10: got his first, it's that belief I can do it.
Speaker 1: Isn't that ridiculous? He's got twenty four.
Speaker 10: Twenty four, it's insane, but Yannick now has the first
Speaker 10: and from two sets down, he did what Medvedev did
Speaker 10: to Alexander Zverev in the semifinal, came from two sets back.
Speaker 7: But I think the right man won the tournament. Sinner beat.
Speaker 10: Djokovic kind of felt like if you didn't win it, oh,
Speaker 10: it's a bit unfortunate. You know, you took out the
Speaker 10: ten time champion and still didn't win it. But he did,
Speaker 10: and I think it's the right result.
Speaker 6: I was reading something this morning. If you take care
Speaker 6: of Joker in a Grand Slam, then you win it.
Speaker 6: That's been the statistic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because if he gets to a semi, you don't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: as soon as he gets to a semi, absolutely locking
Speaker 2: in as a Jokovic Major. But as we always say,
Speaker 2: when Yanick Sina wins a major, which has never happened
Speaker 2: for winn winning Yanick sound.
Speaker 4: I just saw it. I saw it on.
Speaker 7: Bag that's fine.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, you shamelessly stole that and we all
Speaker 6: watched it unfold.
Speaker 10: Awful good result and look a shout out as well
Speaker 10: to Arena Sablenka. Back to back she's now won two
Speaker 10: Grand slams. I think she'll win. I think she could
Speaker 10: win his minutes half a dozen if she keeps her
Speaker 10: game and her body right. She's very hard to stop.
Speaker 10: She's a great player to watch. So well until a
Speaker 10: Rena Sabalanka.
Speaker 4: Beautiful, Hey Renni, you know the drill.
Speaker 7: It's been a while, actually it has been a while.
Speaker 7: In twenty I need to start the year.

Speaker 4: sign on her back. It was like, please bully me.
Speaker 1: Certainly, I condone bullying here on absolutely not.
Speaker 4: I remember my first I remember my first day of high.
Speaker 2: School and I went away to boarding school, and I
Speaker 2: do remember everything was fine, and then as soon as
Speaker 2: mom and dad left, tears like proper tears. And I
Speaker 2: didn't even know that I could even at that age.
Speaker 2: I don't even know I could cry like that. And
Speaker 2: it took me a good Dad came back and we
Speaker 2: went for another walk and then left again tears. And
Speaker 2: it wasn't me being like stay, it was me and
Speaker 2: being like, I know what's going on here. And then
Speaker 2: the next morning so obviously did love you just genuinely
Speaker 2: shipped me off. And then the next morning, after the
Speaker 2: first night at boarding school, and you hardly sleep, but
Speaker 2: I did get sleep towards the end, and you know,
Speaker 2: when you wake up and if there's something pressing going on,
Speaker 2: there's always that money before reality sinks in. I remember
Speaker 2: waking up and then that instant feeling i'd been like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right, I'm here.
Speaker 4: I just went bad. Oh god, it's one of the
Speaker 4: worst feels I've ever had.
Speaker 6: Kids. There's nothing quite like that loneliness when you're a kid,
Speaker 6: when your parents leave you like that. Anyway, this is
Speaker 6: really sad.
Speaker 2: I'ven't really spoken to mom and dad since no I have,
Speaker 2: and I absolutely loved.
Speaker 4: The boarding school.
Speaker 1: What happened to you producing him.
Speaker 8: The day back at school, so I went to a
Speaker 8: school that, according to the uniform policy, blazers were mandatory.
Speaker 8: So as a reception, I'm not the tallest person now,
Speaker 8: so in reception I was tiny. Mom made me wear
Speaker 8: the blazer even though no one else did, and it
Speaker 8: was probably three sizes too big because she wanted it
Speaker 8: to last. And also, just to add to it, I
Speaker 8: had a horrendous bowl cut, so I think she was
Speaker 8: just setting me out to fail.
Speaker 1: That's right, producers, though.
Speaker 12: Well mine wasn't necessarily first day, but the first week
Speaker 12: back at school, they made us go on camp to
Speaker 12: make friends, and so I went to camper. I didn't
Speaker 12: know anyone, and then day one we were windsurfing and
Speaker 12: it was.
Speaker 4: Fun, really cool.
Speaker 12: Let's push each other off the windsurf boards, and they
Speaker 12: pushed me off. My windsurf board went up in the
Speaker 12: air back hit me on the face and split my
Speaker 12: eyebrow right down to my eye pretty much blood everywhere,
Speaker 12: and everyone felt really really bad for me. So I
Speaker 12: made some friends because everyone pitied me. So yeah, you see,
Speaker 12: tragedy is how you make friends.
Speaker 1: Ye, that will pity friendship, So.
Speaker 12: Yeah, big time, and I'm still friends with them.
Speaker 7: Pitty gets you a long way in life.
Speaker 4: Kids.
Speaker 2: Certainly a key message in that, isn't it. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: that is if you want to make some friends, you
Speaker 2: gotta draw some blood. Absolutely, and whether that's your blood
Speaker 2: or someone.
Speaker 1: Else just kidding, Yeah, you gotta want it.
Speaker 12: The teachers had my back as well. They told everyone
Speaker 12: that I'd been a survivor of a shark attack, so
Speaker 12: everyone thought I was like epic the new.
