32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,480

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: How many nights a week is it on?

34
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: This is a question I should know the answer to.

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: I don't.

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: I want to say one, but it could be five.

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Actually filming, it's so much filming. I'm so excited to

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: actually just see the final edit because when you're actually racing,

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: you've only got your camo and the soundo just with you,

40
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: and you never see what is happening with all the

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: other teams. Of course not so I'm I've only heard

42
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: what happened to them by them telling me. So there's

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: so many people in the first episode who were like, oh, yeah,

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: we walked by ourselves for an hour down a random road,

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I hope that makes it in.

46
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm so curious because you're on the other side of TV.

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: So I've done reality shows before I'm the host, and

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, it's finished shit of a week, and

49
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, tonight because I don't have to do

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: any of the ship things, whereas you're now the person

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: that's sitting in the chair of G I hope we

52
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: get a nice edit.

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: I know it's wild. I've never done.

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: Reality only you were employed by the network.

55
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: The edit.

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: At least you might be a sure might be a

57
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: shot there.

76
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: was like, no, you don't.

77
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Television. It's a mystery box. You'll work it out. It's

78
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: a mystery.

79
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,920

00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: quite bargaining for just how psychotic I would be in

83
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: certain challenge.

84
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: I just loved like there was a whole like breakout

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: quote from the interview that you did on the weekend.

86
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,720

00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: That's a sport for sports.

91
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if we can make parallels about tailor swift,

92
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: we sure as hell can about this.

93
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: We're sure as hell maybe that'll be in our.

94
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Good sport bad sport. We can decide if you were

95
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: a good sport or a bad sport.

96
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that way, and we.

97
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Could just have an honorable mention every week, was Georgie

98
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: a good or bad sport this week, money.

99
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: In the jut.

100
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just gonna let you go first, because i

101
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: have a feeling that I know what yours is going

102
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: to be.

103
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: Because if it's not, I'm going to make you change it.

104
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm just going to start deal listeners with good sport,

105
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: bad sport. It's a bad sport, I'm gonna say. But

106
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let this statement official statement to the

107
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: talking Brisbane Broncos are aware of a video posted by

108
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: Rhys Walsh on a social media platform. The club can

109
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: clarify that Walsh is currently renovating his home and has

110
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: installed a brand new toilet in a brand new bathroom

111
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: which remains unused. The video represents a poor attempt at

112
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: hu posted privately by Walsh. No one should take this

113
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: video seriously or act upon the advice. Was I expecting

114
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: to ever read a statement like that from my beloved team.

115
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 5: No?

116
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: But was I ever expecting my favorite player to post

117
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: a video of him drinking from a toilet bowl and

118
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: post it on social media intentionally?

119
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: No?

120
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was going to be expecting that either.

121
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: So, just to really clarify, that is the Broncos having

122
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: to put out a public press release about one of

123
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: the biggest stars in the game I in the country. Yes,

124
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 3: in Reese Walsh, who's playing exceptionally well.

125
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: So well at the moment, so well. Top four here

126
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: we go.

127
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: Who posted a video cupping water out of the toilet

128
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: with wonderfully painted fingernails, by the.

129
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Way, wonderful rednails into his own mouth, yes, claiming it

130
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: had recovery benefits for muscles.

131
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: And they've had to say, by the way, guys.

132
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: Please please don't, please don't, but it became A healthy.

133
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: Guy at Crisis Comms at the Broncos gets a call

134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: and they're like mates Reese Walsh, and he goes, oh,

135
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: tell me he hasn't let someone punch him in their

136
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 3: head again. No, no, but it is going to require

137
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: a statement. Yeah, okay, was he do you drank out

138
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: of a toilet?

139
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: What you know that meme of the dog? Everything's on fire?

140
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: If this is fine, this is fine.

141
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: He doesn't get paid enough.

142
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 3: I feel that he's doubled down and made his insta

143
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: profile pick a plumber.

144
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is actually very funny from him. Can I

145
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: just say that's very funny and I know that everyone

146
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: would know he is legitimately one of my favorite players

147
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: on Earth, and he has taken toilet humor too literally.

148
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: While I don't condone it, how he's handled it by

149
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: making those hilarious jokes with his display picture I do love.

150
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: I think the.

151
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Club honestly would just be tearing their hair out. But

152
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the boy can play. He has played us

153
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: into a top four position baby potentially with those gorgeous nails.

154
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: And I just.

155
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you got to take you gotta take

156
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: these hits.

157
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: You gotta take these hits of what is going on.

158
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: So my favorite take on this was b Tuda being

159
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: like Reese Walsh clearly not aware that every trade christens

160
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: the toilet that they install, which I just thought that

161
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: is both feral and accurate. And it's Reese Walsh's toilet.

162
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: You're not telling me that they're not going. Oh, by

163
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: the way, is this is what happened there? It's just

164
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: it's a weird world.

165
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: It's a different world, isn't.

166
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I had Bailey Smith in the fact that he

167
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: had to change his shoes.

168
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: What do you need to change your shoes?

169
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: He went to the All Australian wearing rebox or some

170
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: his loafers. Yes, so Steve Hawking, very senior at the Cats,

171
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: had to change his RMS with him on the night.

172
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: Yep.

173
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: So Steve Hawking, who's silver, had to go around wearing

174
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: silver shoes because Bailey Smith couldn't pack his own shoes.

175
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: Who are these men? Sort your lives out?

176
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: Oh?

177
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: So we better get a good sport in here.

178
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: Oh he's very good at sport, but Australian women's sport,

179
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: doing Australian women's sports things.

180
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Molly Pickling World.

181
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: Champions, Oh my gosh, we love nicknamed the Pickle, twenty

182
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: two years old from the coast.

183
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: So who is she twenty two? How old am I?

184
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: I know? But also so she was twelve?

185
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, last time I changed she was twelve.

186
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: She's been like teenager coming up the ring.

187
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 3: We have a new world champion, and of course it's

188
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: another ousy woman. We absolutely love her. In the surfing,

189
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 3: she came off winning the World Surf League Finals in PG.

190
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

191
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: Just stuff. And also just like I feel like we're

192
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: gonna get on the pod.

193
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: We have to, have to, we have to. She's one

194
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: of the best interviews. She's just so excited and passionate

195
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: about life. And exactly what you think of Surfa sounds

196
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: like which is the best? Is the best?

197
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: All right?

198
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: So circle, Molly, Circle, Molly, we're gonna working that out.

199
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: She had to work for Albany, surely makes more sense

200
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: for a sports podcast.

201
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, Molly, we are manifesting. Yeah, we are manifesting.

202
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: We have already manifested though for you today, deal listener,

203
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: because the guests that we have on very very strong,

204
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: even if we do say so ourselves.

205
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: That's coming up next.

206
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: She has walked upon as some of the most renowned

207
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: tennis surfaces, from Rod Laver's Royal Blue hardcourt to Wimbledon's

208
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Hallowed Grass. There is no stage too big for Casey

209
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: de Laqui, with either a racket or now a microphone

210
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: in her hand. An incredible singles player in her own right,

211
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: Casey really shone, though brighter than her own smile when

212
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: there was a friend beside her. She reached the top

213
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: three world ranking in doubles, winning a mixed double slam

214
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: at the French in twenty eleven, and also was very

215
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: well known for being the doubles partner too of Miss

216
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Ash Party.

217
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 3: And if you've read Ash's book, it's actually Casey that

218
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: was like, come on, honey, maybe pick up the racket again.

219
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: So we have so much to thank Casey for.

220
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: But Georgie, that was a wonderful intro about one of

221
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: the greatest athletes our country's ever produced. I know Casey

222
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: as a spice girl from primary school on our front

223
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: lawn doing some roly polies, because that's how long I've

224
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: had the pleasure of knowing Casey d Lakhma because she

225
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: was great mates with my sister in primary school. And

226
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you even got to play a single spice

227
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: girl because my sister.

228
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: Would have played all of them. Casey, welcome to do

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: good sports, Cacy.

230
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Casey, is this true? First off with

231
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: spice girl?

232
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 6: Yeah? Look, I was always forty spice. Of course, it

233
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 6: was hard to get a show with Belinda around. She

234
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 6: was very yep, she was the leader of the trip,

235
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 6: so but she was fantastic.

236
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: But thank you, Georgie.

237
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 6: That was such a delightful introduction, probably one of the

238
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 6: better ones I've ever had in my career.

239
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: So thank you, and.

240
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 6: Thanks for bringing out Ash's book as well, because we

241
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 6: do joke that I've got my whole chapter in her

242
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 6: book as well.

243
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: So that's a real career highlight.

244
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: Too, you really do.

245
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: And it's such a Again, we don't want to first

246
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: talk about Ash because you must feel like people just

247
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 3: want to segue into it. But I feel like she

248
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: painted such a beautiful picture of your friendship and just

249
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: how much she leant on you and loved you. It's

250
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: so special and it's an amazing book.

251
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

252
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 6: If you haven't read it, it is a really inspiring

253
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 6: book just in terms of having so much success so

254
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 6: young for someone like Ash and those kind of difficulties

255
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 6: and her journey so look to be a small part

256
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 6: of her journey was fantastic. But I think for me,

257
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: what is most special is our friendship and that is

258
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 6: what sport is about. That is what community sports about.

259
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 6: That's what high level sport's about. It's finding someone you trust,

260
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 6: finding someone new connect with, and also enjoying it, right,

261
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 6: like even what you two do on the podcast, like

262
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 6: just talking sport, having fun, that's what it's about. So no,

263
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 6: I'm very very lucky to have Ash you in my life.

264
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Talk about some of your intros that you've received over

265
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: the course of your career and life case. Do you

266
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: ever get used to just people clapping at you?

267
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 4: No, No, I don't.

268
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 6: And it's so funny, like when you become a parent,

269
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 6: you're so like out of that tennis headspace where you think, like,

270
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 6: my kids don't care obviously what I do or what

271
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 6: I do in tennis or what I have done's.

272
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Rood of them.

273
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 6: Rude, so rude, especially when you try and give them

274
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 6: advice about sport and they think you don't know anything,

275
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 6: and I'm like, but no, this.

276
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: Is undernines, it's high performance. Okay, just understand now that's it.

277
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: And that's good.

278
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: And you're speaking of so life now at the moment

279
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: is a largely mum's life. We've seen you doing some

280
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: amazing commentary on stand as well.

281
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

282
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 6: Look, it's obviously with three young ones, it's definitely you know,

283
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 6: in the thick of parenting.

284
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: But I have been so fortunate since I retired.

285
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 6: I work with Tennis Australia in their particularly in their

286
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 6: women and girls' space, So heavily involved in terms of

287
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 6: you know, on and off court work within tennis, which

288
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 6: is amazing coming from Perth. As you know, Abby, my

289
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 6: local tennis club was across from our high school with

290
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 6: our high school, you know, Kingsley Tennis Club was the

291
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 6: first club I was raised and highly influenced by my

292
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 6: mum and Nan who got me into the sport and

293
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 6: my family and my dad who played footy. So I

294
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 6: think having now giving back in a different way is great.

295
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 6: And then yeah, obviously doing a lot of the media

296
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 6: and broadcast stuff, I do really enjoy that because it

297
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 6: puts a different lens in terms of you know, I

298
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: like to educate people on tennis, but also the advocacy

299
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 6: piece about women in sport and you know, using your

300
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: voice as best you can to make sure that we

301
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 6: highlight all of the success of women in sport.

302
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, I love tennis. I live and breathe that.

303
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 6: I still you know, wake up, you know, through the night,

304
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 6: check results. So yeah, it's definitely such a big part

305
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 6: of my life.

306
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: Well, you talk about tennis of course, and wanting to

307
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: be an advocate for the women's game. How proud of

308
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: you are you of tennis in the fact that it

309
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 3: is one of the only sports in the world that

310
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: really does have equal prize money for men and women.

311
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think we have definitely I know that

312
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 6: women's sport has gained so much momentum. But I do

313
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 6: think tennis has been a bit of a leader of

314
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 6: the park in that sense. We you know, had incredible

315
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 6: trailblazers like Serena Williams, Billy Jean King, and we've been

316
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 6: so fortunate to have them. And big part of you know,

317
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 6: when you go on tour is that education around. You

318
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 6: get to earn that prize money, you get to have

319
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 6: that privilege of playing on these big courts because of

320
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 6: those that.

321
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: Have come before you.

322
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 6: So I think that's a really big privilege to have

323
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 6: people in the sport. But I think here in Australia,

324
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 6: you know, we've got such a great history in tennis

325
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 6: and to now be involved kind of at the back

326
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 6: end of delivering programs and being on court with young

327
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 6: girls or whatever it might be, young boys girls, it's

328
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: it's awesome.

329
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: I love it.

330
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: Excuse my ignorance case, but did you ever play against

331
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: Serena Encore in any like for doubles or singles?

332
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I actually was talking about this the other day.

333
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: The first time I ever faced Serena and Venus was

334
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 6: in a doubles match at the show. Both of us

335
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 6: in two thousand and three.

336
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 4: So I was like, that is so long ago, right, Like.

337
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: Do you do you see Venus now still entering into

338
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: comps and be like, I am tired, yes, thinking about

339
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: what you're even pretending to do, Like two thousand and

340
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: three was so long ago?

341
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: Do you were playing?

342
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: Yes?

343
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 6: So long ago right like I was. I would have

344
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 6: been seventeen, so I was like young first, kind of

345
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 6: like Andy, this was when they were at their peak,

346
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 6: like they were ridiculous.

347
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: But yes, to now see Venus playing, I'm like, I agree.

348
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm tired.

349
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 6: To see her out there playing performing at the level

350
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 6: that she is still like just incredible. She had such

351
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 6: a great run at the US Open and the double

352
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 6: still and I'm just like, wow, you're you're incredible, too good.

353
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: When there's a feature film made about your career and

354
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: you're still playing. Oh, you've done enough that they won,

355
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: but you're still going did.

356
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: They did they have an aura? Ca see?

357
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean it might shock you to know that Gelmy

358
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: and I have actually not stood across from them to

359
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: take them on ah yet yet.

360
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's still be timed.

361
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: There's still a chance. Did they have like a different

362
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: aura to anyone else? Or are they just humans.

363
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

364
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 6: Look, no, they definitely for me as a seventeen year

365
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 6: old young west Ossie kind of hitting one of you know,

366
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 6: the Strain Open, one of the slams that I dreamed

367
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 6: of playing at to face them as a pair. Yes,

368
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 6: they absolutely had an aura. I think the more that

369
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 6: I got to be on tour and then I played Venus,

370
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 6: I think of about three times in singles. I didn't

371
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: face Serena in singles, but they had an aura.

372
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: They had this in.

373
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 6: The locker room before you walked out in court, like

374
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 6: you just knew that they were just going to bring it.

375
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 6: And yeah, but they're so inspiring as well, like what

376
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 6: they've been able to achieve in the game and beautiful

377
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 6: people and always giving back in different ways. So they

378
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 6: definitely though had an aura, especially like I said, for

379
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 6: a seventeen year old young girl from Wa.

380
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, people from WS A lot of things give us aura.

381
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: We don't have come from the streets of Woodbelle and Kingsley.

382
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: There are a lot of things we're like, Wow, that's

383
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: a large city, that's Melbourne.

384
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: Wow cool, we're talking.

385
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you were talking about looking forward to playing it,

386
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 3: something like the os Open, we'll remove the odds because

387
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: we know it would have been your favorite. But what

388
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: was your favorite Slam? Because they have such different flavors

389
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 3: and different energy.

390
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, have you both ever been to any of the

391
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: other slams before?

392
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 5: No sponsor us.

393
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 4: You've got a big buck.

394
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: We really do traveling with toddlers. Let's do it. Well.

395
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 6: Look, I think, yeah, they do all have a different aura.

396
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 6: Now I'm using that word aura, but yes, they do

397
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 6: have a different five different feeling about them. I think

398
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 6: growing up I had Wimbleden for me was a massive dream. Obviously,

399
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 6: this shran open was like accessible and I'd been there

400
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 6: as a young kid and it was a big dream.

401
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 4: But I think for wimbed and it was like this

402
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: fantasy land.

403
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: It was like those you know dream time stories that

404
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 6: you just think about being at. So yeah, I think

405
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 6: wimbed and I did. Also, Abby would know my dad

406
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 6: quite well. Kim he also my parents.

407
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: My mechanic. Yes, we loved him. I loved kimmy de law. Yeah,

408
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: used camer.

409
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 6: How funny he so my parents. I did paint my

410
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 6: room green and purple, windwed and colors back in the

411
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 6: day as well. So yeah, whilst I had my Spice

412
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 6: girls and handsome posters kind of scattered across my room

413
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 6: as well. But my walls I think were green and

414
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 6: my architraves were purple. It was the other way around,

415
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 6: but I had green and purple just and you know,

416
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 6: like it was the one tournament that my parents would

417
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 6: let me stay up late. I remember sitting on the couch,

418
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 6: falling asleep, waking up watching Wimbleden. So I think for

419
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 6: me being able to play at Wimboedden was an absolute

420
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 6: dream come true.

421
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: To be back there the last couple of years.

422
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 6: I got to play back there with Ash in the

423
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 6: invitational last year in the Thetis event, but yeah, that

424
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: was super.

425
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Fun as well. Oh my god, I can't wait for

426
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: the Oscar winning movie. That's going to be de Laco

427
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: and we go right back to childhood and see this

428
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: room again. Also Casey fun fact. Though I was by

429
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: no means a high performance athlete, I have always loved

430
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: sport and when it was the Sydney Olympics, I had

431
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: braces and decided to get green and gold brackets, which

432
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: so that's the same fourteenth though, what a terrible choice.

433
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 4: What does him do that now? With these days with braces,

434
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 4: I know, what you mean.

435
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: The kids are all getting in visil lined no color,

436
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: they don't have any or anything anymore.

437
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: But we better, we better actually get to the USO.

438
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: It was gone too far so US Open wise, Casey,

439
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: how have you rated the whole tournament currently? Because the

440
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: semis not to give away exactly when we record this,

441
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: the semis are upon us.

442
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, Look, it's been US Open. It's always an

443
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 6: interesting tournament. I feel like over the years we've had

444
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 6: different winners, We've had different kind of people come through

445
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 6: that maybe don't put you're not expecting to have that

446
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 6: run so much so it's been interesting in terms of

447
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 6: seeing unfold. Well, if we start with the women's game,

448
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 6: Eager she Fiontek was my one two that I picked

449
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 6: pre tournament, just having come off Wimbledon, she'd won Cincinnati,

450
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 6: had such a good lead in to the US Open,

451
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 6: but has gone down in the quarterfinals to Anasamova. And

452
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 6: it's a fascinating story because only five weeks ago she

453
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 6: beat her in the Wimbledon final six love, six love,

454
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 6: which you know is just a devastating loss in any

455
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 6: any way, let alone at a Slam final.

456
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: So then wasn't it a record breaking it was like

457
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: the final went for three minutes.

458
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: Was smart, yes she was, and she was crying saying.

459
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 3: She was so sad that her mum traveled, and then

460
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: to be able to turn it around like they're the

461
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: emotional moments of.

462
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 6: Sport, aren't they, And that's what's sport is. It's just funny,

463
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 6: like this is why I just love tennis too. It's

464
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 6: a really good example of saying, Okay, well this happened

465
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 6: five weeks ago, but look at.

466
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: What she's done. She's took some time.

467
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 6: I'm sure she's gone and spoken to someone about how

468
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 6: that affected her, and then you know, gone through with

469
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: her team, putting in things in place, and then comes

470
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 6: out and redeems herself brilliantly, just goes out there, plays

471
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: her game and just takes it to Eger and has

472
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 6: beaten her and now into the semi finals. So that's

473
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 6: a really great story that I've loved following Sabalanka is

474
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 6: looking good, Osaka is also looking fan fantastic.

475
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 4: Great to see her playing some great tennis.

476
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 6: And then on the men, Just to touch on the men,

477
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 6: I mean, everyone's talking about El Karaz and Sinner. It's

478
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 6: very hard to go past either of them. And it

479
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 6: was awesome to see Alex have such a great run

480
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: as well. But it's really hard to go past Sinner

481
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 6: and El Kraz at.

482
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: This point with Alex Duminor, who sadly does not make

483
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: it to another Grand Slam semi going out in the quarters,

484
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: is that like how much of a toll would that

485
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: be taking me on him mentally? Because you can try

486
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: and brush it off and you know, I stub my

487
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: toe and I'm like, it's the worst day in the world,

488
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: But like, what is going on for him? Do you think?

489
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I have no doubt he will be extremely disappointed,

490
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: of course, having had that opportunity once again. I just

491
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 6: I think if we try and put it into perspective

492
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 6: and only I can empathize with him because obviously I

493
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 6: was a player and on tour for so long, it

494
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 6: is so hard to make one Grand Slam quarter final,

495
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 6: So the fact that he has made it to so

496
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 6: many and consistently done that, I think we undervalue that

497
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 6: type of achievement. Even though I know he will be

498
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: extremely disappointed, and he will you know, there'll be a

499
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 6: lot of people talking about him not being able to

500
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 6: get to a Grand Slam semi final.

501
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 4: Why Caanti and all of that.

502
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 6: I think I just always try and put my feet

503
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 6: in someone else's shoes when especially when you've been there

504
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 6: and I I made a number of fourth rounds at

505
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 6: slams and couldn't ever get to the quarter finals, and

506
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 6: it's difficult. But then when you take time to reflect,

507
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 6: you're like, wow, that was actually a really good achievement.

508
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 6: So I think it's just putting it into perspective. For Alex,

509
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 6: he does not like how good was his body language

510
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 6: through that whole match. He was up, he was bouncing around,

511
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 6: he fought for every point and honestly, like it's such

512
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 6: a good example of how to conduct yourself on a

513
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 6: tennis court when you are perhaps you know, facing adversity,

514
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 6: wanting to get there so bad. So yeah, I think,

515
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 6: well done, Alex. So it's been a great run and

516
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 6: he'll keep he'll keep pushing along.

517
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: He'll get there.

518
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 3: It's so Australian to be like top ten in the world. Yeah, yeah,

519
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: when are you're going to make a semi.

520
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: Todium?

521
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: Playing so much?

522
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: Don't we because it's like you're like, oh my god,

523
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: you got bronze. Oh I don't know about that. Literally

524
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: third in the world.

525
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 6: Actually you've done ok like you've done okay. So yeah,

526
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 6: I just I really hope he gives himself a part

527
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 6: on the back because it's been a rough twelve months

528
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 6: for him. He talked about a little bit about being

529
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 6: burnt out, posts rolling and Garaoss. He took some time

530
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: off this time last year he was struggling with injury.

531
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 6: So look, I think for Alex what he's done and

532
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 6: achieved and continues to achieve, like backing it up in

533
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 6: tennis is so hard to do. I can't tell you

534
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 6: how our us it is to be on tour for

535
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 6: nine months of the year with big major tournaments, managing

536
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 6: your body, managing your emotions, being away from home. So look,

537
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: I just think he has had a great US Open,

538
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 6: Davis Cups up next, back.

539
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 4: Here in Australia, in Sydney.

540
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 6: He's got a lot to look forward to, and let's

541
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 6: hope we can just you know, get excited for a

542
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 6: great summer of tennis when it comes around.

543
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: Because it was Alex iiminor that after the OS Open,

544
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 3: was in an interview and he sort of said it

545
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 3: flippantly but directly at the same time. Was that he said,

546
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: you know, I've got a week off here and that's

547
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: the first week off that I've had all year, and

548
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: then the tour demands that you need to get back

549
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: on the road, especially if you're going deep into tournaments

550
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 3: and playing lead up tournaments. There's so much burnout on

551
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: their bodies. Do you think that there needs to be

552
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: a change in the tour or is it just up

553
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: to the athletes to choose their own time to rest.

554
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, I think it's a little bit of both.

555
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 6: I think the schedule, especially on the men's tour, is

556
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 6: very long.

557
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 4: There are a lot of tournaments, and they.

558
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: Play travels so much travel, which is what people really forget.

559
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: And I'm in case that you've done it, but like me,

560
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: going into stay is a milestone in itself right now,

561
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: let alone going to different slams and different time zones

562
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: across the world.

563
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: These and when we're talking about athletes that are in

564
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: the top ten, it's all well and good if you

565
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: want to have a private jet or whatever it.

566
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 2: Is that you're doing, because you can afford it.

567
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: But if you're like in the lower end of the

568
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: top one hundred, which is a massive achievement, it's a

569
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: huge financial burden. To have that travel as well with

570
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: your coach. It's a lot.

571
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a lot.

572
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 6: And so for those emerging players that have to do

573
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 6: all that, that's where it's really tough. Obviously when you

574
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 6: get when you get a little bit higher up the ranks,

575
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: it can become a little bit more sustainable and easy.

576
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: That owns a buffalo bills.

577
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but other people on the jet.

578
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it worked really hard and got there by hard

579
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 6: work and stuff as well.

580
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 4: But I think, ye, of course, yeah, I think the tour.

581
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: I think the tour is long.

582
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 6: I think the tour is there's a lot of tournaments

583
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 6: and then there's also you know, you throw in some

584
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 6: whether it was an Olympic year last year for the

585
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 6: athletes that added extra you know, team events, and then

586
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 6: you know, there's always talk a little bit about you know,

587
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 6: the players playing exhibition matches and that. But then like

588
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 6: I also see it from that perspective, like you are

589
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 6: only an athlete for a very short period of time,

590
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 6: so you have to take every kind of opportunity you can,

591
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 6: whatever that might look like in terms of endorsements and

592
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 6: stuff too. So there is a lot, and I guess

593
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 6: ultimately it's up to the player to manage their schedule

594
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 6: and how they're dealing with all that. But yeah, it's

595
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 6: definitely it's not a It's not a sport for the

596
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 6: faint hearted, that's for sure.

597
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: I've got a two pronged question here, Casey, and it

598
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: involves Cocoa golf. It's not a sport for the faint hearted.

599
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: And that girl is linehearted. But we did see earlier

600
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: on in the tournament just the devastation that she was

601
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: working through in real time on the court, and she's

602
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: visibly upset, crying, trying to get control of her own emotions.

603
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: A former champion that two.

604
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: So, firstly, have you ever experienced that on court, that

605
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: level of I've just broken here and I'm going to

606
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: show everyone. And two, what is it like to interview

607
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: them after the game? Yeah, because you're the one that

608
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: they first go to.

609
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

610
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 6: No, it's a really great question, Georgie. And I think

611
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 6: watching Coco over the last week, it has been quite

612
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 6: difficult to watch just seeing she's only twenty one, like

613
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 6: can you believe her? Like she's so young at still

614
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 6: on the bigger stage. And I love that she shows

615
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 6: oneerability because we're all human, right if i've reflect on

616
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 6: my career. No, I probably didn't let myself do that

617
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 6: enough where I just would hold it in, hold it

618
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 6: in till it got to the point where I'd come

619
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 6: off court and explode or you know, like have a mental.

620
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 4: Breakdown or whatever it might look like.

621
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: But I think, you know, it was very visible how

622
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 6: much difficulty she was having with her serve.

623
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: And when you're out on a tennis court.

624
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 6: And you have, especially on Arthur Ash is a huge court,

625
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 6: it's so overwhelming and you feel like our eyes are

626
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: on you just having to hit this serve in time

627
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 6: and time again, it would have just been you know,

628
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 6: not fun for her at all. So I think she

629
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 6: did a great job of you know, getting to the

630
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 6: fourth round and managing it as best she could.

631
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: What was the second part of the question.

632
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: When that happens, and when a player is going through

633
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: such a visible roller coaster and you, in your role

634
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: as commentator, you're their court side, and you know that

635
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: you're going to have to talk to them first, right,

636
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: especially if they've somehow managed to win that match and

637
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: you're there going so thoughts and feelings like how how

638
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: do you go about coping with that yourself?

639
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think that's where I'm fortunate to be

640
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: able to draw on my own lived experience, and I think,

641
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 6: as I said, I genuinely always try and put myself

642
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 6: in someone else's shoes before I ask a question or

643
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 6: before I kind of head down a path with whatever

644
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 6: I'm asking someone, so and try and be empathetic. I

645
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 6: always come, try and come from a place of empathy,

646
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 6: especially in tennis, having been through it, and it's very

647
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 6: hard to I find it's difficult to be too critical,

648
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 6: and that when I've done a lot of things in

649
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 6: my career over the years as well, whether that's good

650
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 6: or bad, but it's just everyone's going through their own experience.

651
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: You try and just if you come with empathy.

652
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 6: Most of the players know that all particularly for myself,

653
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 6: I'm there to let them share their experience in the

654
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 6: best way that they can.

655
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: So I just try and do that as best I can.

656
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: And you do it really well, it translates and everyone

657
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: can see that the warmth that comes across between you,

658
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: and again it's such a gift to have been able

659
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 3: to have been on the tour yourself, so that they

660
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: know it's like, ah, one of ours there is and

661
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: Georgie and I unfortunately don't have that across any code

662
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: that we just like to do. They rain understand the

663
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: lead performance, they understand the pressure. I'm like, let me

664
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: get the pronunciation of your name correct and we shall

665
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: move on. But you mentioned what it's like the intimidation

666
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: of something like Arthur Ash Stadium and something for mine,

667
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: I genuinely believe the rockstar event in the world is

668
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: tennis slams. When you look at the level of celebrity,

669
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: particularly wimbled and now what we're going to see in

670
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: the men's and women's finals at Arthur Rash.

671
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: It is the met Gala meat sport.

672
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Like there is the pinnacle of tickets and

673
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: it's so chic and it's but then imagine like you're

674
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 3: out on court having to perform.

675
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: In front of that level is there and that level

676
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: of celebrity.

677
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 3: Who's the biggest celebrity And granted you would have met

678
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: like obviously Roger and Raffa in interview formats later in

679
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: life as well, which I would genuflect.

680
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know what to do.

681
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 3: But what what would that feel like when you knew

682
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: that there were celebrities in the crowd?

683
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: Was there ever anyone that you're like, oh my god,

684
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: they're here.

685
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 4: Isn't it funny? Because like I, I'm not.

686
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 6: A swifty like Georgie. I know you're a swifty Georgie,

687
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 6: but you.

688
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Thank you, Casey, thank you.

689
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 6: But no, it's so funny because I can't say that

690
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 6: I'm like very much of a like anyone.

691
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 4: Like people to me are people.

692
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 6: So I don't get often overwhelmed by celebrities or I could.

693
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 4: Talk most of the time.

694
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 6: I feel like I could talk to most people, although

695
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 6: I did find it very I did used to go

696
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 6: to Perth Airport when Steven Silvanni and Anthony Koterfeedies used

697
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 6: to rock up and Carlton played West Coast back in

698
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 6: the day.

699
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 4: I got yeah, I used to I did. Used to

700
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 4: do that.

701
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 6: Remember when you used to do that and used to

702
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 6: go to the airport and like get or your autographics out.

703
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah door stop them. Yeah yeah.

704
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 3: Before I used to get selfies, you'd be like signed

705
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: with the paper the sharpie please work. Yeah, it was

706
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: before sharpies whatever those other ones were. Again, we didn't

707
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: have celebrities in Perth. This was as good as it

708
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 3: got exactly.

709
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 6: They were like my and talking about role models, like

710
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: there wasn't obviously women's sport wasn't like it was now,

711
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 6: so you know, often it was a lot of the

712
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 6: men number one. But yeah, I think like now I'm

713
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: a bit like I don't really get overwhelmed people like

714
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 6: I could talk to anyone basically, but can.

715
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: You drop some names of the people that you've been

716
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: in the same room with you like, well this other

717
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: people will think this is cool.

718
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 6: Well I think I'm so it's so funny because I

719
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 6: find it so intimidating, Like when I have to interview

720
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 6: when I've had to like interview Rafa or Roger for example,

721
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 6: or Serena or like to me, they are like that.

722
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 6: That was probably the most intimidated that I've ever been

723
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 6: in terms of seeing the celebrities and stuff. Even when

724
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 6: I've played on like Rod Labor and Billy Jean King

725
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 6: has been in the crowd, h so you know Rod

726
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 6: Laver for example, Like that's when I because I'm like,

727
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: they're also going to critique how I'm playing out on

728
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 6: court because they've been there. They know, you know what

729
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 6: the game is about. But I think, yes, so, but

730
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 6: what I was when I brought up Taylor Swift. I

731
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 6: was like, if Taylor Swift was in the crowd, I

732
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 6: think that would be like I think anyone would probably

733
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 6: be a bit intimidated by that. But I haven't really,

734
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 6: I don't, I can't really off the top of my

735
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 6: head remember thinking. But the tennis players, they are probably

736
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 6: just a yeah. And my trainer back in the day,

737
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 6: georgiz L and Nathan Martin, they were wonderful fitness trainers.

738
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 4: They also trained Magda Zabanski, who's going for her own.

739
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 6: Battles at the moment, God love her, but they used

740
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 6: to train her, and so I did a couple of

741
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 6: training sessions with Magda and she.

742
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 4: Actually came and sat in my players box one year.

743
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 6: So, and obviously, being a fan of Kath and Kim,

744
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 6: I had this dream of being able to go on

745
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 6: that show and be like on her netball team or something.

746
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: You know.

747
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: But I was going to ask, I was like, were

748
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: you training with Magda or Sharon?

749
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 6: Story?

750
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: And also very healthy of you to not be affected

751
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: by what's going on in the crowd. Whereas Jomy and

752
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: I would be.

753
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: Like hello, I'd literally rock up and be like I

754
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 3: need to break any binoculars.

755
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: Hugh Lovely to see you, Brad. Welcome here is everyone good?

756
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 2: Everyone selling?

757
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 3: It's very CAZy to not be right away? Why is

758
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: there no more come off?

759
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

760
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to ever.

761
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 6: I want feeling like when I saw the Matilda's girls,

762
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 6: you know, like I used to I get.

763
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know Aussie athletes and people.

764
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 2: That just the fact when Matilda's sauce.

765
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted. I wanted to check you. Are you

766
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: okay about Jack? Yeah? There's a welfare check for Casey.

767
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 4: That's big. I have to say.

768
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 6: Living in Sydney now, it's very, very hard to get

769
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 6: away from NRL foot, isn't it?

770
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 4: Like I was lived and breathed it.

771
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 6: But moving to Sydney, oh my gosh, it's so hard

772
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 6: to now not get immersed in NRL. But still obviously

773
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 6: have a soft spot for the AFL. But I have

774
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 6: to say I follow a lot of NRL now.

775
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: As we should, as you should. I mean, you're with

776
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: the wrong team, I mean the Broncos. What headlines have

777

779
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: On, we need we need to get who you think

Speaker 4: I think he will.

786
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,959
Speaker 6: Win the men's and then on the women's I'm going

787
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 6: to go with Arena Sablenka.

788
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 4: I think she's champion.

789
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 6: She's had a bit of a rough year with if

790
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 6: you reflect on her Grand Slam tournaments this year, you know,

791
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 6: like obviously losing this Straan Open final, losing the role

792
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 6: in Garross final, going back to the New York as

793
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 6: the defending champions. So I feel like she might do

794
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 6: it again this year.

795
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: She doesn't get runner up, oh yeah, doesn't love a

796
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: runner up.

797
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: For her to be fair, that is, so I feel

798
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: like that's the realist that she's ever been. Is when

799
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: she was runner up and it was just filthy about it,

800
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, yes, yes, she played Okay,

801
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: I was horrendous.

802
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 2: Just exactly how you talk to your girlfriends.

803
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: But then everyone obviously was like, you're being a little

804
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: bit disrespectful to the opponent. But she was just trying

805
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: to be self critical, like I think there's that balance there.

806
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: But one of my favorite moments from the tournament, and

807
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: I forget who said it was one of the guys

808
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: came up to.

809
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: Shakes in his hand at the end and was like, bro,

810
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: you're like AI.

811
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 4: Said that. It was so funny.

812
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: It's immaculate because you do watch him play, and Georgie

813
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: and I have had the privilege of watching him play

814
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 3: at the OZ Open, and I'm like, is this broad

815
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: like just designed? Everything looks so he's the terminator beautiful.

816
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 2: He's unbelievable to watch in real time.

817
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, and in that match particularly like he just annihilated

818
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 6: Bublik one one on one and did it like that.

819
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 6: And Bublic is a really good player too, but Sinna

820
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 6: had lost to him just not long ago, so I

821
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 6: think there was a bit of like, don't poke the bear.

822
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm coming out for a bit of redemption as well.

823
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 6: But yeah, when Sinner's apparently well, well you would have

824
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 6: seen that he's a great skier and he's so balanced,

825
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 6: and that's one thing that when you watch him on court,

826
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 6: with every shot he plays his core, he's like so balanced.

827
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 6: Hence I think when you watch him, you're just like

828
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 6: this guy is this guy real?

829
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: And they're just incredible, so relatable.

830
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: You know, Grab Skiing loves wearing Gucci, He's just the everyman.

831
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: He stepped up the cat to center court. I think

832
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that we could talk to you all day,

833
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: Casey d'acla, but we have taken up so much of

834
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: your time and we so appreciate it. We will be

835
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: obviously seeing if you are nostrodamus and checking those predictions.

836
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 6: No, I'm not actually a very I'm not a very

837
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: good predictor, but we'll see.

838
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 4: But thank you so much for having me. Love your work,

839
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: great to chat.

840
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Grand Slam Queen of our hearts, Casey

841
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: de laqua, right there.

842
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: Also just thanks for letting me catch up with an

843
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 3: all family friend on work time.

844
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from it.

845
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, where people like who's the most

846
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: famous person that you went to school with or something

847
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: like that, and you have a bunch and including Casey

848
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: de laque.

849
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, my high school like to breed AFL players who

850
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: was like what they did, Although arguably the most famous

851
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 3: person who went to my school is the person who

852
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 3: created canvas.

853
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what.

854
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking.

855
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: So Melanie Perkins, who's now I don't know, seven billion dollars,

856
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: had a locker diagonal from mine. So the most offensive

857
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: thing is we have the same education and she decided

858
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: to become a tech mogul.

859
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: We had the same physics teacher.

860
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: Were there any any loose change fallen down from.

861
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: Her in her year?

862
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 3: Looke couldn't have had a swing, even though I know

863
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: her husband Cliff lovely, But come on, anyway, we really digressed.

864
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: Life just goes a different ways sometimes.

865
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: School, but I do if we're talking about millions, I

866
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: do have a fun pack.

867
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: Fun fact, what a seg.

868
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 3: The ICC have quadrupled the ODI World Cup winnings for

869
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: the women's competition to twenty one million dollars, which is

870
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 3: great news for the Aussies because the last time we

871
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 3: won it was a boofteenth of that and by that

872
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 3: I mean a quarter.

873
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 2: How incredible. That's so good.

874
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 3: It will now be more than what the men's competition

875
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: was worth when it was last played, which was fifteen

876
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: million dollars.

877
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: So the winners will get six point nine million.

878
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I love this.

879
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 3: So the is investing more in women's sport, which we love.

880
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: That is a fun, fun fact.

881
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: And it's a deserving fact. Do you know what that

882
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: gay have been when you talk about we know, we

883
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: hate this word everyone women's sport. It's just sport when

884
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: you talk about men's sport, women's sport. Cricket is one

885
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: of those that has fought the fight to have a

886
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: quality for so so long and been most successful arguably

887
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: with it. And this is just another huge step towards.

888
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: That literally huge. So we can't wait.

889
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 3: And we also had if you want to have a

890
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,440

00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 3: for giving up her time and again let's just wait

900
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: and see if her predictions come true. Do you think

901
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 3: we'll win the US Open?

902
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 1: By the way, I mean, I actually think I've got

903
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: to go for my mate al Chaaz because he's aerodynamic now.

904
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 2: So so purely the haircut.

905
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've talked about it on this podcast previously.

906
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: He is.

907
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: There's a dolphin.

908
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 3: Should be easier to give yourself a number one than

909
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 3: be number one, so let's.

910
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: Not go true.

911
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: I do think that Casey's called on Saberlenka is a

912
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: is a good one.

913
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 5: But I also imagine if it's Osaka, Oh we what

914
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 5: a story it would be story. The fact that people

915
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 5: go back to doing anything after having kids should be

916
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 5: commended the fact that she's gone back to elite sport

917
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 5: with a la boobu and a tou tou like.

918
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,279
