<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Often you come in here early to record an early

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>one at six seven a him. He's got an old

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.280

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that piper hide tick you can drink anytime.

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's like it's a breakfast it's a

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 2>breakfast drink. And I think they market themselves though.

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>It's so good to have you back, Samuel Taunt, and

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you are filling in for Lizzie, who while she has

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>gone for six full weeks, six.

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Full weeks, she's going to pursue her dream of stand

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>up comedy, which I don't love. I think she well,

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm happy to be here, but like, what

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:27.119
<v Speaker 2>are her priorities?

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>A thank you for being here? You were away for

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>a while as well, so it's me just settling into

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the new dynamic. The boys are back in town. Well,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it back in town.

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Well it's a danger though, because you you you have

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the ability to kind of go full jock very quick.

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I do.

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>That's why I think Lizzie is a good pairing with you,

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 2>because she can kind of take the edge off, whereas

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>before I feel like like I feel like if I'm

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>here in Errold's here very quickly. You know, you're we're

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>talking about skateboarding. We're talking. You're like, oh, look at

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 2>this clip I saw of like a guy cutting his

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 2>leg off.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I mean? I feel like you

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>would just go full Rogan.

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you'll go Rogan. Yeah, we'll be talking about UFOs.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, before we get into the tennis. What is your

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>best way of preparing elk meat?

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Just a bit of salt and pepper, Heat up the

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>barbecue to about two forty, get it nice and hot.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 2>You've got to shoot the elk.

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>It is great to have you back, Sam taunting. You're

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be here through the US Open, and I am

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>fascinated to get your hearts and minds picks for the

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>US Men's and Women's.

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I think Sinner, you'd be just insane. To not pick him.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a bit of a hard court king. Yes,

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 2>my hard pick is obviously. I think I'll go Australians.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Obviously Chris O'Connell. His game was suspended. He was losing,

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>but they suspended his game last night.

0:04:55.760 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm going to say my burial O'Connell from Sliders.

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>More of a chance I say that about Chris. That's crazy,

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that's not very nice to say. Yeah, yeah, he could

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>do it. He absolutely could go on an all time run.

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Or I'm going to say the Demon. I think, I mean,

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>he got bundled out again, but surely it's either.

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.039
<v Speaker 2>He has to do has to do something soon, or

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>he's just going to drift off into you know nothing.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say, this is the time is now,

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like in Australian winning the US Open,

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that that sounds about right, So that's

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>in my heart. I'm going to say Demon, all right,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>and women's I'm going to say we're back on her

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to win.

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh nice, Yeah, good, I like it. I think server, hardcore, yeah,

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>hard court.

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 2>And then my heart, I'm going to say the young

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Filipino queen.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Alexandra Iala.

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>I think she, you know, has kind of caught the

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 2>attention of the world of tennis and if you don't

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 2>like her, then what's going on in your own heart?

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's true. And obviously a million Filipinos.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want absolutely Well, I'm because Many Pakia when

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>he was at the height of boxing, like he just

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 2>had like he had a sitcom on TV in the Philippines.

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>He was like he ran for president called the Many.

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it was maybe called the Man.

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>That's how he became.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the premise was he like lived with a

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>family and they were like, are you Many Pakia? Yeah,

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>but she could be like we don't know the heights

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of her actual fame in the Philippines, like how big

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>she could be.

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, she's already a superstar and then we'll get

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>into the dc epen soon. But the support for her

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>playing an American in an American five hundred tournament was

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>so much louder. Why is that? Because the Filipinos they support,

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>they turn out.

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>But I also think like she's got something that even

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>like the run of the mill American would get behind

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>in a big way. Like what I mean, you know,

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>some people just have it and it's a charismatic drawing force,

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 2>and you just even just take a look at a

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 2>picture of her and her smile and you go, oh,

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to support her.

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I think. Do you think if you like, say, move

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to America like Austria would turn up and droves to watch.

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I've thought about this, yeah, because I've done stand up

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 2>overseas and I've thought Australians would come out, and they haven't.

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>They don't. Once in I did a gig in Argentina,

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>in Buenos Aidis and I'm just bombing so hard, and

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>then there was an Australian guy in the front row.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>This is when I was on the project, and I

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 2>was like said to the guar, I'm like, I'm famous

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>in Australia. Tell everyone here. And he goes, I don't

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 2>know who you are.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he'd been living over there forever, maybe he.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Was on holiday, he was visiting. He goes, I've never

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>seen you before, right, yeah.

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe he had seen like a previous you know, Peter

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Ellier or Tommy Little, you know, like you were you

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>were the kind of the death rattle of the show.

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Eryl, who also worked on the show, I think would agree.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>He would agree that I agree with that.

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Ey sang I came in and closed the doors.

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, it was like the harbinger of doom

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>when me and you were up for the same pick.

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>So maybe this is just me being like, remember they

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>brought me in as level.

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>We both did a chemistry test together. Yeah, imagine if

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you got it. Oh, it would have ended way quicker totally,

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 2>so much quicker carry.

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Three weeks on it.

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's how who your picks him for the US Open?

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Well I discussed this on last week's app with Lizzy

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>who when I got her heart and minds? How did

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>she go with You'll have to go back and listen. Yeah,

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>what happened was but because we have e roll back

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>in the studio, I would love to get your harolds

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.920

<v Speaker 2>That was my heart is that your I was gonna say,

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:46.320

<v Speaker 1>Center's mind. That's cool.

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I love that, I thought, maybe, like, I think there'll

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>be a lot of hard for Carlitos. I think people

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 2>want to see him come back and bounce back from

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 2>this injury. Run that he's been on.

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into the Carldos news because many things to

0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>discuss on today's pod. I do have to say that

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>we're We've had, you know, a lot of clips take

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>off online. It's clear that we're a podcast. It's clear.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I hope it's clear we're a podcast. Yeah, but this

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>comment really stuck out to me. A man commented, it's

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 1>actually Rod Labor, not pod Labor.

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank god, thank god, thank the point. I mean, no,

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's missing the point. It wasn't that

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the first thing I said to you, you did. I said,

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 2>there's been a mistake the spelling of your podcast.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>You guys have a crazy topo and all.

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>And like there's a big media team here at the

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Australian Open and they all missed it. They all missed it.

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>That it's yeah, it is crazy. It's an easy mistake

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.079
<v Speaker 2>to Thank god. This guy pointed out. Did it get

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 2>any likes? It's a pretty funny comment.

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:04.599
<v Speaker 1>I think people liked it.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I think people are like, yeah, it is Rod Labor.

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yeah, dude, we've been thinking about that all

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the time. Yeah, you know, for years at Rod Labor Arena.

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 2>That guy pod lavor comes out, that old guy and

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 2>he sits down.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been calling him Pod. Is his name?

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>His name's Rod as well well.

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>He actually was known as pocket Pod before he was

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>with Pocket Pod. Yeah, yeah, a right, let's get into

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>the tennis news. The DC Open just wrapped up. A

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 1>bit of a side note, it's the Mubi Dollar. DC

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>opened the Mubi Dollar. I looked into. This is a

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>investment company from the Middle East. Fantastic and the fantastic

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:58.199
<v Speaker 1>main sponsor after Mubadala is Emirates. How do you think Trump,

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 1>who lives in DC, feels about Mubadala and Emirates being

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the main driv.

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's my gut. I think he was into it.

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>That's good in the nation's capital. That really doesn't make

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>you think that America's for sale in any way.

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, his foreign policy is clear. Click. What a tournament? Oh,

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>what a tournament. So the DC Open just wrapped up

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.959
<v Speaker 1>this morning, this very morning because of the rain delays.

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Fritz took it out in straight sets against the aforementioned

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Raphile Ho r Hodar played great, obviously to get to

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the final. Took out some big names along the way

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.199
<v Speaker 1>and was cruising until he faced Fritz and his served

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:44.200
<v Speaker 1>two big servers.

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you think there's a more there's more joy for

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>a player out there to win than Taylor Fritz. I

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like the general tennis public couldn't be happier for

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>this guy.

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>How do you mean like the tennis fan base would

0:11:58.840 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>rather see Hodar.

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Than for I think they would rather see a dusty

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 2>old can win a tournament.

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>In Taylor Fritz.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.959
<v Speaker 2>If you look on like Reddit comments or on Twitter, Yeah,

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he's just like he's a bit of

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>a villain.

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think he also.

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Kind of ignored me in the hallway at the Australian Open.

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 2>He was walking past and I saw him and I

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 2>said hey, and then he just kind of kept walking. Yes,

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>he had just lost and he was going to do media,

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 2>but you know, it cost nothing to be polite.

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>You called him Tato.

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 4>It was at this point in the pod that Errol

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.559
<v Speaker 4>gently reminded Sam that his Australian Open work contracts specifically

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 4>prohibited him from speaking to players in the corridors, especially

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 4>players who had just lost a match.

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this is true. There's no direct eye contact with players.

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.800
<v Speaker 2>I made eye contact with so many players after a

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>loss as well. Well, I thought I had some opinion,

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>I had some tips square Fedora.

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Next time. I think he's I know you like him, well,

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just like to see an American player,

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's the best of my player at the moment, Shelton,

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see when these tournaments doesn't have it.

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with you.

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 2>There, Shelton, Tommy Paul, these guys, Yeah, they're in the

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>demon category.

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is interesting. I think that.

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I think they're like, they're talented, but then there's just

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 2>like an elite class, right, Fritz could be that Like

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Fritz have gone more game, I think maybe your mental

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>game as well.

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>He's been playing on an injured knee. Look, I think

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.319
<v Speaker 1>to win this tournament in straight sets over Hodar was huge.

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>It took a bunch of match points and he got

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>a footfall called on him in that last game to

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>close out the match. I think he's our best hope

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>for the US.

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Our best hope, our best hope.

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you you forget? Where my allegiances? Like? Get

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>your passports now? Yeah plural? And you alway your first

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>love is your first passport.

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 2>That's not true. If you don't like it, leave.

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh Jesus Pauline Hanson on.

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Them, Like, I'm just saying, it's like, you know what

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>what tennis to M, it's currently paying paying your wages.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Well until Tommy Haska, of course, but I just want

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to see an American man win the US Open, and

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Fritz winning DC in the lead up M bodes very well.

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think him and Hodar have similar games that

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>both bombing serves at each other. Both guys seem allergic

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to coming into the net awesome just baseline rallies as

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>tennis guess and just whipping four hands cross court. And

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it was similar, like I said, styles and in straits

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 1>not as compelling as you'd hope a final to be.

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>But I like Fritz for the going deep in the

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 1>US going.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Is he your hont he's your heart Peak, Shelton's my

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 2>heart Pert Yeah, okay, we love Shelton. Yeah, he seems

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>like a great guy. But like also, second heart pick

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 2>would be Taylor.

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Paul Well, now Taylor could he and then learn

0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I could go through all the Americans before I get

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the Fritz. If I'm being on, Yeah, that's what I'm saying,

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>But I think he did.

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 2>You also look him in the eye.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no no. I remember signing the contract

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 1>saying we can't look them in the eye or disparage

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>them in any way on the podcast.

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I don't think I did the training module

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 2>now that I think, Well, look, I would be fascinated

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to see how big it would be for American tennis

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 2>if an American man could somehow return to the summit, right, Like,

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>how big would it be? Like I feel like there's

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>been a you know, we talk about maybe there's a

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>bit of a wilderness for the Australian men. I feel

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 2>like America's in the same boat.

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, I really liked your observation of them being

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>in the same kind of tier class as demon. I

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>think that checks out. And the way for Fritz to

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>win the US a lot of things have to happen.

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>A super hot day for center. Yeah, he plays Zverev

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 1>in the final. He has a winning record against. You

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>need the weather to go lway. Carlos's wrist is in

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent.

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be hard for Carlos to win. Yeah,

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 2>and it just lack of game time and Djokovic's is old,

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Djokovic old, Yeah, Yeah, Djokovic old and you can't. Yeah,

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 2>he just went like it's been a long season already.

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's the path for Fritz. I don't think

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that all all those permutations really come together at the end,

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, we'll see.

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, he's a single man now, so I feel like

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 2>he's focused and maybe you're going to start seeing some

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 2>better tennis.

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Some better results. Better results. We could have had two

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>American winners on the men's and women's side had Pagoola

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>not lost to alex Illa in the women's final in DC.

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Pagola was up a set and then it was two

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to one in the second set when the rains came

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>through absolute monsoon and they had to cancel the rest

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of the day. H This worked out in Yola's favor.

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.760
<v Speaker 1>She then ran away with the match after returning to

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the court the next day. Swing.

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 2>It is awesome how quickly it can happen. Yeah, it's

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>crazy that a tournament of the side doesn't have an

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 2>indoor court. But I guess like there aren't that many

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 2>indoor courts. No indoor like that can hold the numbers

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:13.679
<v Speaker 2>you need for a final.

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Players complain about the conditions on indoor courts that the

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>ball you know it bubbles or whatever. Yeah, and the lights,

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, they they find it annoying. I mean there's

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>some guys that play great indoors. I mean Center obviously

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 1>prefers it. But the third set was a bagel in

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Yola's favor. That was surprising to me. But bad night's bad,

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Night's sleep bad when it sounds, yeah, I guess so.

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But she also Pagola said in her interview after the

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 1>match that the crowd support for Iola threw her off. Yeah,

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>that's awesome. It's good to know it.

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Can't like it because you know, when you're at the tennis,

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 2>so you're at any sport really and you're cheering away

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, am I just doing this for me?

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Am I doing it? It's good to know it kind of. Yeah,

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it's quite a bit of an effect. Well, she's not

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 2>inspiring the other person, but definitely throwing off someone.

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, because I mean I watched this match and

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 1>it was crazy when he Alla won a point, the

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>roar from the crowd compared to Pagola winning a point.

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Who's in you know, her home country and not getting

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the support she's in.

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's in the you know, the hot the beating

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 2>heart of the country. Yeah, sponsored by a Middle Eastern

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 2>financial film. Yeah, this is what America is all about,

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 2>of course. And then she's getting thousands of Filipinos. They're

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to bring her down. It's a lot going on

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>for her to kind of grapple with.

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>This is i Allah's first WTA title and what a

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.680
<v Speaker 1>one to win a five hundred event is a good

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>first title. And en route to the title, she took

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 1>out some big names, last year's winner Leila Fernandez, she

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>beat her in straits, she beat svid Alina, who's informed

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 1>this year and playing great, and to me, the biggest

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.280
<v Speaker 1>surprise beating Osaka pretty handily six four, six to two

0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to proceed on to the final where she then took

0:18:59.680 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it out.

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 2>So news like star is born moment. Do you think

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.000
<v Speaker 2>coming of age twenty one, she could go on a

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>good run here, maybe be like a consistent top five player.

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe. I mean, she looked amazing, like she's won me over.

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>There was accusations of her being over hyped and that

0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 1>she's just being touted as the next big thing because

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>she sells so many tickets and has so much support.

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.840
<v Speaker 1>But her tennis was blowing people off the court.

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.199
<v Speaker 2>If it would be it will be exciting for the

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Australian Open if she, you know, continues, maybe has a

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>good showing at the US Open big back half of

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the year, like you know, the Asia Pacific area when

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 2>she plays the Grand send down here to see the

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 2>support or see what happens. You might get a lot

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:43.920
<v Speaker 2>of Filipinos coming over as well.

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Well. I don't know if you remember this year, but

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they put her on a court that was too small

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 1>for her fan base at the AO.

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's just like spilling over and there's huge cues.

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Filipino tennis star Alexei Ala has sent Melbourne Park crowds

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:58.360
<v Speaker 2>into an absolute frenzy.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 4>She's the highest ranking Filipino in a history.

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I think she's playing on a pod labor.

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 2>She's made it to pod labor.

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I would be surprised if they didn't put

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.160
<v Speaker 1>her on on pocket John Cain or yeah, pocket pods

0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:17.879
<v Speaker 1>on arena. She has a name elsewhere. In the DC Open,

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:23.000
<v Speaker 1>alex Demonar had a kind of an interesting start because

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>he played Cruz Hewitt. That's cool.

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like a fun little nod to the future,

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.680
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it's just nice to have some Australian

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>names that are headlines.

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and did you see Cruz Hewitt doing his dad's celebration.

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>He's kept that going disgusting. Come on, be your own man.

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know. They even asked him and he

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, I don't know. I just saw my dad

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 1>do it growing.

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Up, And I mean, it would be weird if your

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 2>dad was Leighton Hugh when Leyton first came on the scene.

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he was.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Cruz just seems like a much nicer young man than

0:20:59.480 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>his dad Will.

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>It's at the same age, right. Have you seen him

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>in interviews or anything. He's Cruise. Yeah, he's clearly curios affected. Yeah.

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess Nick would be like the cool guy. Yeah,

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the cool older guy that you would see around the place.

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 1>That would disobey his own father, you know.

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 2>No, but I think his dad he's going to keep

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:18.120
<v Speaker 2>him on the straight.

0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, yeah, But like Kurios would you know, go

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>against what Layton would tell him during Davis Cup or

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever. So he probably saw that as like,

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 1>like that's a cool dude.

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but Curios didn't have to go to Christmas lunch

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 2>at Layton Hewitt how him and Bet cart Right and

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 2>like can I have the prawns? And he's like, well,

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.399
<v Speaker 2>you disobeyed me in the Davis Cup. So I think, Kruse,

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 2>what Cruise's game style? Is it more similar to like

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 2>did he have a stronger backcoll game?

0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:47.879
<v Speaker 1>To be honest, I haven't seen enough of him to say,

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and that the Demon ar match was like at three am,

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and I just saw the result when I woke up

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and demonar rolled. And but at the net after he goes,

0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be playing so much over the next

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>That's what he said. Yeah, that's so cool. So Demon

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>are beating Cruz Hewittt in the second round of DC

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 1>but in the next round losing to Brandon Nakashima in

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 1>straight sets. So Demon was the defending chance too. Yeah,

0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:19.399
<v Speaker 1>and he was, you know, defending points because he had

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 1>won the DC Open last year and then went out

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>to Nakashima. Is this post wedding hangover? Was cruz Hewittt

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.880
<v Speaker 1>too easy of a match going into Nakashima? He wasn't

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 1>ready for a season player. I don't know.

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 2>He said he played well the Demon and which I

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 2>never like to see when someone loses and they say

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 2>they played well, yeah, I just think, like just cop

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 2>it and just be like I suck, really get angry.

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, I can be better. I need to return

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it to the top. So I don't know, like maybe

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 2>he's just I don't know. The craziest part about the

0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Demon's year so far, it's like I feel like it's

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 2>been another year of closeness, getting you know, into the

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 2>positions and then kind of not following through.

0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And he's what rank he's gone ou he's up to

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 1>six now in the world.

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Yet to me, it feels like he maybe has taken

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 2>a step backwards this year, right in terms of progression.

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, we saw that after his Wimbledon loss that he

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 1>was disenfranchised and he was shook and he was like, eh,

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:17.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I'm just not feeling it. So I mean,

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>take a break, Damon enjoy married like.

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Said, wait quit is that what you're saying? Well, I

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 2>just you just think he needs to have a little break.

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>But if he's in the top ten, he's going to

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>be playing in the ATP finals at the end of

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the year. The season the grind continues, you know what

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean. So like he's gotta you.

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Need maybe a little mental health kind of retreat or something.

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Head to Bali with some other Australians and.

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Either comeback with braids or a fedora.

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean braids that a fedora would be what.

0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:51.879
<v Speaker 1>About braids under a fedora? And then when you.

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Daft the fantastic could you play in the fedora? And

0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.480
<v Speaker 2>then you reveal in the postmatch interview.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>The corners although milady, Yeah, I mean cornrows from lady.

0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it does only if he's playing he's

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 2>playing mixed doubles and he does it to his phone every.

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Time sheets a good shot corn Rows Lady.

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:21.159
<v Speaker 3>It's really it's really blurring cultural Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 3>would like it's kind of like a Bridgeton thing, you

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean, Like it's you could see it

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 3>happening in an episode of that where you're like, what

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 3>is the time?

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 2>What is kind of all these points happening?

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:36.120
<v Speaker 1>A time traveler? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, showing up speaking

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of people out of time. Venus Williams, what a mean

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 1>transition that?

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, look, I feel like it's getting to the point

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 2>where we're going to be like, what is going on here?

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Thirteen losses in a row as of recording. She just

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:54.359
<v Speaker 1>went out in Toronto in the one thousand event in

0:24:54.400 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 1>the first round. So last first round in DC, lost

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:58.600
<v Speaker 1>first round in Toronto.

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>At this is there something like you're taking? Is she

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 2>taking someone's place? That's a conversation.

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>If she's getting a wild card into these then yeah,

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's a lot of people vying for a.

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>While, That's what I mean. Like, you know, if she

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 2>is not competing, and if you're losing thirty in a row,

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 2>isn't there's an argument that she's not, then is she

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.359
<v Speaker 2>holding a spot up for someone else that could use

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 2>it more?

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And she hasn't said this is a victory lap or

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:28.239
<v Speaker 1>this is a you know, final year for her. So

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 1>at forty six years old, I guess still threatening to

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>play all the events.

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Threatening to play That sounds very honesting threatening to play,

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:39.360
<v Speaker 2>like come on, venus.

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>No, She's like, I'm going to do it. I'm going

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to do it if you don't, behaves.

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Look credit to her. She's forty six, she wants to

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 2>do it. She could do it all. But losing that

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 2>much just surely would not be fun either. That's the

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>other thing. So, especially for a crazy competitor, so like,

0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, it's all. It's a bit bizarre if

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 2>you ask me.

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she's won a singles tour match since

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, And it's yeah, does she call it

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a day or does she just love the competitive nature

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of the life and can't walk away?

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, it could be a bit like you know in

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Shure Shank Redemption when old man gets left let out

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:27.359
<v Speaker 2>of the prison but kind of freak doesn't know what

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>to do, so he commits a crime so he can

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:30.439
<v Speaker 2>go back in Red Red.

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>That's him. Yeah.

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's a similar thing with Venus. It's like she's

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 2>at this point now where she's like, I don't know

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>any other life, right, I feel the safetiness of the tour. Wow,

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the regularity of going week to week, tournament to a tournament.

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 2>That's my routine. That's how I know who I am.

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Tennis is a prison.

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we've got to break these guys out.

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Or the end of hurt Locker when he's you know yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>he's left the war. He's back home and he's in

0:26:57.040 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the supermarket and he's like, I can't ye doing here,

0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and then the final scene he sees back.

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:06.879
<v Speaker 2>She's got PTSD. She has to get back there post line.

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Tennis serena derangement.

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 2>But she's not even like she's getting knocked out in

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the first round. So she's not even playing that much tennis.

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean she'd be training and practicing a ton,

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 1>but then just getting bounced.

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so if she likes training, you can still train

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 2>for what is she trying to go now?

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 1>To play these first round matches? Get an entrance fee

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 1>travel the world.

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 2>She doesn't need the money.

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>No, but maybe she likes Toronto, and maybe she likes

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati in a couple of weeks, and then she likes

0:27:40.400 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>where she's gone, But she could just go to these places.

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, speaking of people that doesn't need that, they don't

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 2>need the money.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Bernard Tomic, Ah, Bernie, this is our ongoing segment. Gin

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and Tomic very high quality tennis for me Toomic played

0:27:55.800 --> 0:28:02.199
<v Speaker 1>Karen cashing off in Mexico, Aaron one, he's made some

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>money here. Actually, yeah, you got to couch it in Okay.

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 1>He won a challenger event a couple of weeks ago

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and Lincoln, Nebraska, and then he went through I think

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the Karen Kashanov took him through to the quarter final him. Yeah,

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 1>and then he gets absolutely trounced by Cameron Nori. But

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 1>beating Karen Kashanov, a top ten player, amazing, huge result.

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know was something going on with Karen Kashanov.

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I know that sounds like I'm doubting bird talking.

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 2>About Bernie at his peak would take him down. Yeah,

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 2>and Bernie's at his peak? Yeah, thirty three? How much

0:28:39.160 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 2>is Bernie worth? Because there was that clip a few months.

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Ago only Evans Well, there was a clip of.

0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Him like wanting to pull out of a game and

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 2>he was saying to he goes, I'm going to get

0:28:48.600 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a private jet out of here, and I was like,

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 2>how much money has he got in the bank?

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>How much Derek and he had?

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>So he's won six point seven million in prize money

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 2>throughout his career. But apparently as it estimated net worth

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:03.959
<v Speaker 2>is it just according to AI a four million?

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but also private jet. Have you ever looked up

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 1>what the Internet thinks your net worth is? Oh, I'd

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>loved it. Mike goldtein Network, I'll do Samton and then

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:15.880
<v Speaker 1>you can guess it's like network.

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 2>His net worth is not publicly documented financial figures are

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 2>available for the American Experience stand up. There was in

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>pament nothing.

0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's pretty accurate.

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>It says you have nothing. Yeah, there's another guy called

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Mike Goldstein that has a lot fourteen point five million.

0:29:34.880 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 1>He's a trader though. Yeah, that's some of me. Sam

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Tott height, weight, networth, age, birthday Wikipedia. What to say

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>about weight? It says a little tubby post thirty years old.

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>It is a bit chody, A bit chody for my liking. Well,

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they're really editorialized if I like it.

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 2>My point is, what is Bernie doing out there as well?

0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean?

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Like, I get that he's out there playing, but but he's.

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Been grinding away in the lesser tournaments of the Challengers.

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:04.959
<v Speaker 2>I know he loves it, That's what I mean. He

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>just loves being out there. Yeah, but for these guys

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that would need the top I don't know what did

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 2>he get to, maybe ranked fifteenth in the world or something.

0:30:11.720 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think he's getting wild cards.

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Is he's just grinding for the love of the game

0:30:16.120 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 2>at it. The money is like it's not much. He

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be covering costs, I don't think.

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But he deserves to be if he's getting through qualifying

0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 1>rounds and then winning through it a quarterfinals.

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, but why still is my point?

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Because these guys are competitive freaks and it's all they know.

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 1>And if they're not out there playing, they're you know,

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 1>making OnlyFans clips that are far too pricey for my

0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>like for you a linking anyway, And yeah, he got

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>trounced by Cameron Norri in the next round in Mexico, Bernie,

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>but I would like to see Bernie in the US Open,

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 1>just to you know, continue our fan favorite segment gin

0:30:53.560 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and tomic.

0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:56.800
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to play in the US Yeah, how

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 2>do you know that? Well, well, he would have to.

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:00.520
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to qualify. What he ranked in the

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 2>world one hundred and seventy first or something.

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:03.360
<v Speaker 1>How do you know he's not going to qualify?

0:31:03.440 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, maybe he's gonna.

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you think Chris O'Connell is going to win it? Yeah?

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 2>The herd and once with the Heart once don't yuck

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 2>my yum again?

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I hate that saying so much.

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>No yuck my yum. How much talent did he.

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Have a lot? Do you remember those aos where he

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was touted as the next big thing and making the

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 1>second week, and then he just flamed out. He like

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:31.680
<v Speaker 1>had that car issue. I don't know, Yeah, he had

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that car thing.

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but yeah, he was also not very well liked

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the jungle, did.

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>He I'm just not cooking. Well, huh, I'm a celebrity.

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Get me out of here. I need to get out

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 1>of here. Carlos Acharass is training again. I'm excited, are you,

0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Samuel Tamta.

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes, of course, Like I think he's everyone's favorite tennis player.

0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 2>It's excited. Didn't have him back out there, and.

0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:55.840
<v Speaker 1>How do you see him going?

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think it's he's going to be a bit

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>soft on return, and I think he needs Look the

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 2>mental state I'm worried about as well.

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>If you have a look at that hair, well you've

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:08.480
<v Speaker 1>got We have discussed corn rows a lot on this episode.

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And what do you think of Alcoraz's.

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I think he look he looked good, but yeah, look

0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 2>at that he does look good. But as every girlfriend

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I've ever dated has told me, if someone changes their

0:32:21.720 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>hair dramatically, it means they're in crisis. Right, Yeah, So

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 2>how else could you read into that?

0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Before last year's US Open, he shaved his head completely,

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 1>came out totally bald. Yeah, but that's then one in

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the US Open.

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 2>That's not Cornrows.

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you're rastic.

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Shaving your head is like a cry for help. It's

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 2>like hot in New York in August. It's like, I

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>don't want the extra hair, yeah, you know, I just

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 2>because I'm going to sweat a lot. How do you

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 2>explain this? This is a lot of This is a

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 2>stylistic change up.

0:32:53.080 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he saw his friend Flavio Kabali do it

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago and he was like that,

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. Arthur fees look amazing with the corn Rows.

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's a lot of effort, It's all I'm saying. Yeah,

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 1>but at least he doesn't have the little beads in

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the back yet yet. So this is, you think, more

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:12.560
<v Speaker 1>like an auntie getting back from Bali.

0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:15.320
<v Speaker 2>It just looks like I'm you know, you know, nine

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.240
<v Speaker 2>club in Columbia and this guy is trying to sell

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>me something.

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think can we sho?

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:26.280
<v Speaker 2>You didn't even think you go yep, You're like yeah.

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, can we The most amazing thing

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 1>anyone's ever done in corn Rows is friend of the show,

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Cox. Yeah, this is I mean, this is a

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>man in corn rows eating corn while listening to corn. Yeah,

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 1>can that ever be topped?

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess if Carlos wins the US Open with corn rows,

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 2>that tops this, Well, you'd have to eat then corn.

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 2>You'd have to then replicate golf afterwards he's like, can

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 2>you put corn on?

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:00.239
<v Speaker 1>And then he'll do it. This is not bad if

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>he's still rocking the corn rows when he comes in

0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 1>for the AO next year and we correplicate that, and

0:34:07.720 --> 0:34:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a great idea.

0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think athletes back to back to back to him.

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I think, look, I would love to see him come back,

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:16.799
<v Speaker 2>but I think he's just going to be a bit

0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:20.160
<v Speaker 2>underdone and rest. Yeah, and I just think we will

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 2>have to wait and see. Yeah, you'd love to see

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:24.440
<v Speaker 2>him make a run, but maybe he's a semi final situation.

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Just want to see a viable opponent for Yannick Center.

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 1>And I think outside of the heat, it's Carlos so well.

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 2>I feel almost like the tournament hinges on those two

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>getting to the final to face each other. Now, I

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 2>think that's what people want, which kind of is like

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 2>not I mean, it's not great for the men's ru all,

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.360
<v Speaker 2>but like, let's hope he's recovered, or let's hope we

0:34:47.400 --> 0:34:49.080
<v Speaker 2>get some good young names coming through that are going

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to elevate the sport.

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe this is Cruz Hewitt, Christian O'Connell.

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Christian Chris O'Connell. Christian O'Connell hosts the radio shop on GOLM.

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 2>If he went the US Open, I will be very surprised.

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 1>As we speak, the Montreal one thousand for the men

0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and the Toronto one thousand for the women is on.

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the National Bank Open presented by Rogers. I

0:35:14.120 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 1>do know these corporate names for tournaments, not rules. Just

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:19.600
<v Speaker 1>call it the Toronto Open or the Canada Open. But

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 1>people are.

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Paying for the money, and you know, tennis and golf

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:25.480
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty much all propped up by the financial services industries.

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I know this is where the clientele is.

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:29.560
<v Speaker 1>You think you are lose. This is a bit of

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 1>its soul when.

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 2>It's yes, what do you tell me when you go

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:37.799
<v Speaker 2>watch the football at Marvel Stadium, You're not like your God.

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>But I'm excited because I expect Iron Man and the

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Hulk to be there. Yeah, no, that's true.

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Yea, well, there is I did stand up once in

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the Peter Parker room.

0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:46.879
<v Speaker 1>There is that a thing.

0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:49.360
<v Speaker 2>That's all the rooms are like named after kind of.

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Character, right, Yes, so you don't even get the Spider

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Man room. They gave you the boring Ah there you go.

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they got pre and that's kind of what

0:35:56.400 --> 0:35:57.960
<v Speaker 2>my gig was. It felt like a man before he

0:35:58.040 --> 0:36:00.040
<v Speaker 2>was a comedian because it wasn't very many low.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.319
<v Speaker 1>So we'll just check in on the scores. This is

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 1>day one of the Canadian Open. Let's see, there's a

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:11.359
<v Speaker 1>few matches going on as we speak. Diallo beat Jack Kay.

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:15.320
<v Speaker 1>This is the Vukic is playing Altmeyer at the moment.

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Marin Chilich won his first round match, as did James

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Duckworth over Chris O'Connell one.

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Because when I came into the podcast the game was suspended.

0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Duckworth absolutely stomped your boy Chris O'Connell sixty three, six

0:36:33.640 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to one.

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, was he was, he was up, he wasn't off

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 2>a break. But I was always like this, rain's gonna

0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 2>help him ott.

0:36:40.840 --> 0:36:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Nope, did not help him at all. Matteo Barattini is

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 1>out in the first round, losing to Navone. Uh and

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 1>then yeah this of course none of the big three Djokovic,

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Alcarez or Center is playing in the Canadian Open. They're

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:05.319
<v Speaker 1>resting up before Cincinnati. And the women's draw. Bianca Andrescu

0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:08.239
<v Speaker 1>went out in the first round. Talia Gibson gets a

0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 1>walk over. That's actually huge because she was playing Coccaretto,

0:37:11.920 --> 0:37:16.000
<v Speaker 1>who was in good form. Uh kayla day the American

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:18.759
<v Speaker 1>goes through in three sets, and please give a through

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:24.239
<v Speaker 1>in three Katie Bolter out to a Canadian k Cross

0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, so we'll keep across that for the next

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:32.400
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, and well it'll be wrapped up. No,

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>this one goes through twelve days, so this will be

0:37:34.719 --> 0:37:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in the thick of the quarterfinals. One thing I want

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk about is the crazy US Open mixed doubles pairings.

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I've seen this wild yea, what is there a reason

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:50.560
<v Speaker 1>every tournament doesn't do these?

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what I was thinking is like they

0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:55.799
<v Speaker 2>should make it like compulsory to play mixed doubles. Yeah,

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:58.160
<v Speaker 2>like they pay you with someone and it's just like

0:37:58.200 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 2>good for the Yeah, everyone, like it's awesome.

0:38:00.640 --> 0:38:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Like some of these names, this is more interesting than

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the singles.

0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Like Novak and sabas pery are but it's like I've

0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:07.799
<v Speaker 2>never they ever been in the same room.

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:12.719
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy, and it's so it's gonna be so good

0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Say, Novak and Sabilanka are up against you know,

0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Fritz and Rebecca and yeah, yeah, there's the all Russian

0:38:18.719 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 1>pairing Andreva and rube Lev, Nishikori and Osaka is just

<v Speaker 1>everyone's getting in on the action.

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's like fun. It seems like pure fun, and

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:39.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's a good distraction from like the psycho little

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 2>world you're in when you play singles.

0:38:40.680 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it makes doubles interesting.

0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:45.359
<v Speaker 2>And like you know when when the Grand Slams are

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on and they fly in all the legends and they

0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 2>playing these fun games and it's like so much fun

0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to It's like we could just be doing that every

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 2>time there's a tournament on. Yeah, it's like so fun.

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be wild to watch. A couple of the

0:38:56.280 --> 0:39:00.200
<v Speaker 1>new ones announced today. Bublick is playing with Venus williams

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 1>oh Finevara and then you got the married couples Alex

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:11.200
<v Speaker 1>demon are playing with Katie Demon are now no longer Bolter.

0:39:12.040 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Makes business with pleasure if he's.

0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Gael Monfis and Lina's for the Yeah, so that's exciting.

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:19.200
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't play doubles with your life partner.

0:39:19.280 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 2>She wouldn't want to play with me. We've tried to play,

0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 2>she yells at me. She has to go on the

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:24.719
<v Speaker 2>opposing team.

0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah yeah, And she's like, that's what she says

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. Are you okay?

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:33.879
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm just when we when we play, when we play,

0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 2>it's it's bad times. Yeah, yeah, because she won't ever

0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:39.279
<v Speaker 2>go up to the net. She's scared of the net.

0:39:40.080 --> 0:39:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Volley games not good. She's good from the back court.

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Play doubles. It's like half of the time.

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:46.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what I say to him.

0:39:47.239 --> 0:39:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm the problem, Maybe it's me I'm the problem.

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 2>But look, I think this is exciting. And look it's

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 2>also like not to be like a cynical person, but

0:39:56.200 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 2>like you know, Novak and SAB's playing together. It's like

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 2>this is this, this is you know, exposure, this is

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:05.600
<v Speaker 2>like promotion, this is everything. It's like there's no reason

0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:08.480
<v Speaker 2>why these top players shouldn't be playing together. If you

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:12.280
<v Speaker 2>get a final with like some of the big names together,

0:40:12.320 --> 0:40:13.320
<v Speaker 2>it's like, how good is that?

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I know it's and now it's the tickets are going

0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to go through the roof to see some of these pairings, right,

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 1>But I also think that none of these players are

0:40:22.960 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 1>double specialists. I mean, on paper absolutely roll yeah, probably

0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:29.480
<v Speaker 1>it's by two like no name, you know, mixed doubles,

0:40:29.760 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 1>people who are just know how to play double. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 1>And I'll be I'd be. It would be awesome to

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:37.759
<v Speaker 1>see Nisha, Corey and Osaka in the final against you know, say,

0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:43.640
<v Speaker 1>demon Ar and Demonar. But I just don't see it happening,

0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and it just seems like a bit of a like

0:40:46.600 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 1>a promo move.

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:49.719
<v Speaker 2>I think so, but I still don't care. I think

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:51.319
<v Speaker 2>it's still fun to watch. I think you're gonna see

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of smiling and until one of them rolls

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:55.239
<v Speaker 2>an ankle and gets knocked out of the singles draw.

0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully we see a bit of this, yeah, and then

0:40:58.040 --> 0:40:59.960
<v Speaker 2>one person's gonna get injured and it will never happen again.

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.800
<v Speaker 1>But this is now a popularity contest where it's like

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Novac's like, I'll take Sabalanca and you know, and then

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.279
<v Speaker 1>he all is like, I'll take Felix. And then there's

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:11.440
<v Speaker 1>surely someone who's like, why isn't anyone asked me?

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's last picked, it's school sport.

0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is there no Fritz? No, Fritz is playing with Rebeccaa. Yeah,

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Fritz and Rebeccaa.

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is like, that's sick. That's a great pair.

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Those two of the biggest servers. Also, like two couldn't

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>be more different beyond two of the quietest people.

0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:32.320
<v Speaker 2>They hate both hate eye contact.

0:41:32.400 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, for a different reason. They're both very

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 1>hard to interview, if you compare with anyone in the world.

0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:41.719
<v Speaker 1>To play mixed doubles with.

0:41:42.000 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 2>My girlfriend, what a backtrack in case she's listening. We're

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.560
<v Speaker 2>also going away to a house in like a month

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:55.480

<v Speaker 2>lot of tennis, right, and I don't know, I feel

0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:03.680
<v Speaker 2>like there'll be like teams getting rotated around, So I

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:05.880
<v Speaker 2>do have to pick her first, I guess, all right,

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:10.080
<v Speaker 2>even though she probably wouldn't pick me. Yeah, yeah, who

0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 2>would you take?

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:14.440

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would also take your girlfriend. I'm a let's

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 1>move on.

<v Speaker 2>Okay, my kid's time for everyone's favorite segment, approaching the net.

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:43.200
<v Speaker 2>You like my hat?

0:42:43.680 --> 0:42:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think you got it? Side on?

0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Do I have it on? It's hard when you've got

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:51.759
<v Speaker 2>another hat and head. There go, Okay, let's kick it off.

0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:56.799
<v Speaker 1>It just looks like a massive head. Now it does

0:42:56.920 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>look like I have a massive head?

0:42:58.760 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Is that my one shot?

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 2>This is good, isn't it? He's zooming in, No, don't

0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:07.880
<v Speaker 2>zoom in the boob bub. He he's announced he's skipping

0:43:07.920 --> 0:43:12.000
<v Speaker 2>the Cincinnati Masters for the fourth consecutive year. You're not

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 2>going to believe the reason.

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:14.160
<v Speaker 1>What's the reason?

0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 2>It's his son's birthday that is beautiful, and so he's

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 2>not going to play.

0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:18.919
<v Speaker 1>That's nice.

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I mean I reckon. His son might love

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 2>his dad to win a big tennis tournament for his birthday.

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:27.800
<v Speaker 2>That'd be a good present, wouldn't it. And the spring

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:30.640
<v Speaker 2>his son along. His son's also really young, for I'm

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 2>not going to know, Like kids don't know where they

0:43:33.040 --> 0:43:34.880
<v Speaker 2>are till they're like fifteen that's.

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.000
<v Speaker 1>The thing, like, if you've been invited to a kid's

0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:39.560
<v Speaker 1>birthday party, what's going on the way, why are we

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>doing this?

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 2>You could do that in Cincinnati.

0:43:41.680 --> 0:43:42.680
<v Speaker 1>He's not making memories.

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't have strong friendships yet, no, So it's like

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:50.400
<v Speaker 2>who cares if the log Jordan didn't Caser just get

0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:55.160
<v Speaker 2>anyone in the little no loser friends. I just think

0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:58.239
<v Speaker 2>it's like yes, because the internet is pretty much conclusively

0:43:58.680 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>this guy is beautiful.

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:00.480
<v Speaker 1>What a guy?

0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'm a bit like get out there and

0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:05.799
<v Speaker 2>play well. One said it was supposed to be fun.

0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:09.320
<v Speaker 1>How many parents use their kids as the ultimate excuse

0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:12.160
<v Speaker 1>to get out of things right, totally, So that's him

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:14.080
<v Speaker 1>just going, oh, yeah, I can't play because I.

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to play my kid. You know, if my

0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:19.840
<v Speaker 2>kid needs me, he doesn't. You're rich, your kid's got everything.

0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Just tell your kid it's his birthday on a different day, yeah.

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Or just like yeah, celebrate the birthday later in the

0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 1>year and then don't even have a party and just

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 1>like photo shop him into like a cool party.

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Sang and he said, look at this, Look where you were.

0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, remember when you were four and we went on Safari.

0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:38.960
<v Speaker 2>And then when he's thirty eight going through the house

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:41.879
<v Speaker 2>and he finds some He's like, oh, that's a year dad,

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the Cincinnati Masters, and that was my birthday.

0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Hang on, hang on, Oh yeah, could I've been in

0:44:48.680 --> 0:44:51.879
<v Speaker 1>two places at once? The boob being a family man

0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>though it's nice, I think call it it's beautiful. When

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I saw a post today the Lizzy who's away at

0:44:59.000 --> 0:45:02.239
<v Speaker 1>the Edinburgh friend and I saw another comedian post that

0:45:02.640 --> 0:45:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the hardest part of doing the Edinburgh Friende is going

0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to be being away from my family for five weeks,

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and I really wanted to comment, you don't have to

0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:12.399
<v Speaker 1>do the Edinburgh Ye.

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:16.320
<v Speaker 2>No one is begging you to do the Edinburgh Fringe.

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Skipping the Cincinnati Masters is a way bigger deal. No

0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:22.720
<v Speaker 2>one's making money at the Edinburgh Fringe.

0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:25.600
<v Speaker 1>He just wants to go drink for five weeks without

0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:26.160
<v Speaker 1>his family.

0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, moving on Taylor Fritz. We've spoken about him a lot.

0:45:29.960 --> 0:45:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's a Fritz heavy app He has

0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:35.960
<v Speaker 2>come out and he's done something that I think it's

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 2>quite I think it's quite bold and brave and he

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:41.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't like have to do this, and I think in

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the age of people taking stances on things. This is

0:45:43.920 --> 0:45:46.200
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good one. He's come out and admitted that

0:45:46.360 --> 0:45:48.560
<v Speaker 2>his celebrity crush is Sydney Sweeney.

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Was everybody's celebrity crush. We Sidney really really? I mean

0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I like that, do you I think that's it's a

0:45:57.920 --> 0:45:58.840
<v Speaker 1>brave I do.

0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:00.719
<v Speaker 2>Just think no one else is talking about her in

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:02.640
<v Speaker 2>that way, So I think that's really nice.

0:46:02.960 --> 0:46:03.160
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:46:03.320 --> 0:46:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I think people are like, you know, there's the normal

0:46:05.920 --> 0:46:08.440
<v Speaker 2>people say when they're like, who is like an attractive person?

0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.239
<v Speaker 1>And no one ever brings Sydney Sweeny. No, I've never

0:46:11.360 --> 0:46:13.839
<v Speaker 1>heard her name, yes spoken in those words. People usually

0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:16.000
<v Speaker 1>just talk about how talented she That's what I'm saying.

0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's a great actor, and I really admire what

0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:22.560
<v Speaker 2>she's doing is she's running businesses Meryl Street, running that

0:46:22.640 --> 0:46:23.799
<v Speaker 2>longingerie brand.

0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And weird she runs a line. It's very bizarre, very bizarre,

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know whatever, running.

0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:33.040
<v Speaker 2>A brand, Yeah, just a male lingerie brand.

0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes. Anyway, he's like the secrets ell.

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Iw Yeah, when Victoria's got secrets, Mike's got secrets. He

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:48.840
<v Speaker 2>needs to be put in prison. Someone needs to interrogate him. Anyway,

0:46:49.120 --> 0:46:49.600
<v Speaker 2>he was on this.

0:46:49.760 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't now I don't like it.

0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:55.560
<v Speaker 2>He was on this golf channel and someone said Sydney

0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Sweeney and he said something like, oh now that's got

0:46:57.800 --> 0:47:00.120
<v Speaker 2>me all teed up. We were talking about Sydney sm

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:03.279
<v Speaker 2>and I think he was trying to use the golf thing,

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:05.200
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, like, yuck.

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like that either. Well teed up the.

0:47:08.160 --> 0:47:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Worst name for an direction I've ever heard.

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we have to hear about his drive and his

0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 1>sex drove. Come on golf Pune times. I loved it. No,

0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:22.759
<v Speaker 1>I love, give us, give us what come off? You're

<v Speaker 1>all teed up?

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, put it in my hole.

0:47:32.640 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's not going to get to speak. It

0:47:35.640 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 1>was a bit rough. I got another wait, I didn't

0:47:39.719 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 1>even notice. Yeah, sorry, that was really good. Okay.

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:46.200
<v Speaker 2>And finally, k I'm trying to think he's got a

0:47:46.239 --> 0:47:48.719
<v Speaker 2>better life than me. No, you don't think so.

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:53.480
<v Speaker 1>With supermodels? Yeah, okay, good, because look at you. You

0:47:53.560 --> 0:47:55.560
<v Speaker 1>did a gig and benderg that's what I did. Look

0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:55.759
<v Speaker 1>at this.

0:47:55.800 --> 0:47:58.480
<v Speaker 2>He's getting into his car and it does look a

0:47:58.520 --> 0:48:00.440
<v Speaker 2>little bit better than my Volkswag and polo.

0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 1>That's all I'm saying.

0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:03.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a Ferrari.

0:48:03.400 --> 0:48:05.200
<v Speaker 1>That's like a five hundred thousand dollar car.

0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Look at him, just drive off.

0:48:08.680 --> 0:48:12.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's interesting that he's chosen black there

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:15.120
<v Speaker 1>because black cars and the heat.

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's going to roast away much like himself. Yeah,

0:48:18.920 --> 0:48:20.520
<v Speaker 2>it must be hard for him having to worry about

0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:22.840
<v Speaker 2>the temperature at all times. Yeah, but that would have

0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:24.040
<v Speaker 2>good air con in there, wouldn't it.

0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure so? Yeah, so it's just the Ane Center getting

0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:31.080
<v Speaker 1>in a sports car. Yeah, what's wrong with that?

0:48:31.360 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Sure, well you wanted more than that.

0:48:34.719 --> 0:48:37.239
<v Speaker 2>It's nice to see how people live their life because everything, like,

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:39.480
<v Speaker 2>he's so humble, he's down to earth. He's in Monaco

0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:43.319
<v Speaker 2>getting into a Ferrari that's worth more than But isn't

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:44.520
<v Speaker 2>it entire building?

0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:46.960
<v Speaker 1>He was worthy if he got into like a Hyundai,

0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:50.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, Kona two thousand and six.

0:48:51.239 --> 0:48:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Hm.

0:48:53.600 --> 0:49:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Look, it's not my finest segment. That was. We

0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:07.440
<v Speaker 1>need to taunt specific segments, Grand Sam.

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Well that could be it, actually, Grand Sam, that's really good,

0:49:10.440 --> 0:49:12.360

<v Speaker 1>get it right that the last challenger Bernie won was

0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:41.960

0:49:42.480 --> 0:49:44.360

0:49:51.080 --> 0:49:53.719
<v Speaker 1>That's quite tense. But an a Rash does say he's

0:49:53.800 --> 0:49:56.520

0:49:56.600 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 1>the Quizzy who question. Oh, let's tell you it's yeah,

0:50:01.440 --> 0:50:06.520

<v Speaker 1>You take the panel off and as a child I

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:11.800
<v Speaker 1>would hide my dirty, skin marked underwear in the Millennium Falcon.

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:15.640

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:17.640

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:29.440
<v Speaker 1>an overstuffed Millennium.

0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:32.000

<v Speaker 1>Fair old. Oh my god, we're an hour and a

0:51:45.040 --> 0:51:53.120
<v Speaker 1>half almost absolute. Next week we'll discuss the Canadian Open

0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:57.040
<v Speaker 1>wherever it's at at that point, I believe the quarterfinals or.

0:51:57.520 --> 0:51:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Deep into the tournament by then.

0:51:59.200 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, these to day events. I think that's why a

0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:04.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of players drop out. It's cause taxing. That's taxing,

0:52:04.480 --> 0:52:08.480
<v Speaker 1>very taxing. But the tournament wants those ticket sales, and they.

0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's I mean, this is what it's all about.

0:52:11.440 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 2>The financial services are pushing. They're trying to bring the

0:52:13.680 --> 0:52:15.279
<v Speaker 2>money into the sport. They want a better return on

0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:17.920
<v Speaker 2>their on their dollar. And you're seeing players are having burnout.

0:52:18.040 --> 0:52:20.120
