Speaker 1: Welcome back to pod labor Arena. It's me Mike Goldstein
Speaker 1: and the co host with the Mohost it's Lizzy. Yeah. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I should say congrats. Lizzie won the Pinder Prize Comedy
Speaker 1: Festival John Pinder John Pinder after John Pinder.
Speaker 2: One of the founders of the festival. Okay, they just
Speaker 2: give me some cash to go to Edinburgh.
Speaker 1: Great. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: Weird thing was, I didn't know that I was getting
Speaker 2: the award. I found out I was napping. Nice I
Speaker 2: had my phone on airplane mode.
Speaker 1: Whose show were you watching while you were napping?
Speaker 2: One show? And I was just turned my phone record
Speaker 2: and then they're like, hey, can you get in here?
Speaker 2: And that was like from half an hour before. Like, no, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll miss the awards, but I think that's kind of
Speaker 2: badass not to.
Speaker 1: Go to completely. Yeah so you didn't even turn up
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah that's that's cool.
Speaker 1: Did someone have to accept in your place?
Speaker 2: Yeah my friend did.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so they get like ten percent of it?
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 1: Ah. Yeah, we are back. I've been playing a ton
Speaker 1: of tennis despite this cold I can't shake. I just
Speaker 1: take a ton of pseudo and then get out of
Speaker 1: the court and run around.
Speaker 3: Comedian Mike Goldsteine is just that a comedian. In this instance,
Speaker 3: he is clearly joking about drug use. He doesn't condone
Speaker 3: abusing pseudoephridrine, and he tells us he's been clean for
Speaker 3: several weeks, but we can expect some trace elements in
Speaker 3: his urine test.
Speaker 2: It's not that your medicine choice, I guess.
Speaker 1: I mean it's I can only show my driver's license.
Speaker 1: So many times do they make sure drivers if you
Speaker 1: buy pseudo you really haven't bought it in a long time.
Speaker 1: Oh well, if you need some, I have got a stockpile. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Once again, Mike is taking a flight of fancy. None
Speaker 3: of this is real.
Speaker 1: Please don't be offended.
Speaker 3: Or complain in any meaningful way that will jeopardize our jobs.
Speaker 1: And I played the other day and it went to
Speaker 1: the third set decider, and I was playing this guy
Speaker 1: who's like six 't four massive serve lefty, so it's
Speaker 1: kind of hard to deal with. But take him to
Speaker 1: a third set tiebreak and I go, well, let's do
Speaker 1: a super tie break first to ten points, win by two,
Speaker 1: and he goes, no, no, no, I don't want to
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, and I'm like, come on,
Speaker 1: it's the decider or whatnot. He goes, let's just do
Speaker 1: a regular tie break to seven okay, and I go, no,
Speaker 1: let's we'll go super. And then again, I'm arguing with
Speaker 1: grown men every week outdoors in front of children usually,
Speaker 1: and he goes, fine, Fine, we'll do the super tiebreak
Speaker 1: versus ten. He gets to seven five, right, and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: it should be over if we did a regular tie break,
Speaker 1: and I go, yeah, but it's not.
Speaker 2: We're doing this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing the Super and then I ended up
Speaker 1: winning twelve ten.
Speaker 2: Oh you dick?
Speaker 1: How am I dick in that situation?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I guess I guess. Well, he's probably saying that he
Speaker 2: was on the tie break.
Speaker 1: No, because once you agree, there's an implicit.
Speaker 2: So when was the agreement at.
Speaker 1: The net before we started the tiebreak?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he is contractually bound? Yeah he is, Yes,
Speaker 1: how much I'd shelved a few pseudos and I was
Speaker 1: I was flying and yeah, he was not happy and
Speaker 1: kind of quietly gathered his stuff in. Uh, no way
Speaker 1: exited the core.
Speaker 2: Is this someone you play with regularly?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a he's a teacher, so this was his break.
Speaker 1: So it's whenever there's like, uh, do you.
Speaker 2: Think you'll be hearing from him next school?
Speaker 1: I think he should get out, But I am texting
Speaker 1: him like, you know, trophies and you finger.
Speaker 2: Real champ about.
Speaker 1: It this stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh no way.
Speaker 1: This is a weird time in the tennis calendar, Lizzie,
Speaker 1: because there's clay court tournaments happening with a lot of
Speaker 1: five hundred in two fifties. Madrid has just kicked off.
Speaker 2: This looks fun, Madrid.
Speaker 1: It does look fun, and it is a it's the
Speaker 1: one thousand joint event with a WTA and the ATP.
Speaker 1: But before that, should we try this song? A very
Speaker 1: short song. Okay, I'm a tennis girl in a tennis world.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic. Go grab your racket and we're done.
Speaker 1: Pie, Yes, we're peeping in the short and sweet I did.
Speaker 1: I've been trolling through old YouTube clips and I did
Speaker 1: see one person comment what's with these songs? Like what
Speaker 1: does that have to do? We're clearly thinking about tennis.
Speaker 1: But he's like they go so long.
Speaker 2: Oh too long for him?
Speaker 1: Well, so I'm letting one comment really sway, but we
Speaker 1: should go the other way and do like full song,
Speaker 1: a ballad, a ballad like American Pie, American Pie, the Hurricane.
Speaker 2: November Rain, oh with the full solo yeah, also extended edit.
Speaker 1: Extended yeah, yeah, so well, just some previous five hundreds
Speaker 1: and two fifties that happened. Rebeccaha wins Stuttgart over the moot.
Speaker 2: She's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she's.
Speaker 2: This is her such good form.
Speaker 1: I think she's kind of If she had won that
Speaker 1: Indian Wells final against Sablenca, then she would really be
Speaker 1: the obvious front runner this season, right because Sablanca has
Speaker 1: taken a few tournaments off, Rebeccaena has kept playing, maybe
Speaker 1: playing too much leading up to the French.
Speaker 2: Oh you think.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It might be a bit of fatigue,
Speaker 1: especially if she's doing Madrid Rome and then obviously the French.
Speaker 1: But she won over the mooch. We love the mooch
Speaker 1: we do in front of the ship. It sounded like
Speaker 1: trump there. We love the mooch, We love the mooch.
Speaker 2: I love her.
Speaker 1: Rebecca winning her second Porsche, as she has one Stuttgart
Speaker 1: before the last time she went to Porsche and Stuckgart
Speaker 1: she didn't have a jarver's license.
Speaker 2: And she's got one.
Speaker 1: Now she's got one.
Speaker 2: Now do you think they keep them? Do you give
Speaker 2: them to a relative or sell them or something?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Selling them a bit of bad taste, right, what would
Speaker 2: you do? Probably sell it. I'm happy with my.
Speaker 1: I'm not fitting even one Porsche in my studio apartment
Speaker 1: parking space.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, and we should say that Mukhova, who you
Speaker 1: know we called the mooch, we coined that term, is
Speaker 1: also having a great season. I mean, she beat Coco
Speaker 1: Golf in Sidelina en route to the final. Huge wins
Speaker 1: for her. I don't think she'd ever beat Cocoa Golf before,
Speaker 1: So she's looking great. Munich match up in the ATP
Speaker 1: final was Shelton and Koboli. Yeah, so an American man
Speaker 1: winning a clay.
Speaker 2: Court tournament first time in a long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah in Europe. I mean, I think Tommy Paul had
Speaker 1: just won in the States, but this is big. I
Speaker 1: mean I wasn't expecting it. And Koboli, you know, grew
Speaker 1: up on the clay so it's interesting to see if
Speaker 1: Shelton like pushes people that are there's a bigger draw,
Speaker 1: say in the next couple of tournaments and Koboli I
Speaker 1: thought was gonna he just beat Verev in the previous
Speaker 1: in the semifinals, And then I love this that he
Speaker 1: told his girlfriend, what's that about? To stay home the
Speaker 1: next time.
Speaker 2: Because bad luck well distracting.
Speaker 1: I called yesterday.
Speaker 5: My girlfriend said, please don't let me lose, but she
Speaker 5: does so, so maybe next final you stay home.
Speaker 1: I think if my wife is at a gig, my wife, yeah,
Speaker 1: is that a gig? I feel like she's a jinx.
Speaker 1: Really if it goes bad, I'm like, this is your
Speaker 1: fault for being here. You don't have that with people.
Speaker 2: No, I'm single, but when I had a partner, they
Speaker 2: would come watch gigs. It was funny.
Speaker 1: You said it in a fun way, and I got
Speaker 1: a big laugh. He was like, you know, my girlfriend's here.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe next time she stays home. So I
Speaker 1: get that jinx thing, though you don't have any superstitions
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: I don't like my family sitting in the front, oh, like,
Speaker 2: anywhere I can see them. I say, sit at the back.
Speaker 2: They have to sit right at the back. And my
Speaker 2: parents take that literally and they sit in the back
Speaker 2: room right and they can't hear anything. They can't see.
Speaker 2: But one of my uncles always comes and he sits.
Speaker 2: He sits right at the front, right, And so I
Speaker 2: get out there and I'm like, hello, Uncle Leo.
Speaker 1: You're right there is Uncle Leo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, side fun Uncle Lea. Hello.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, Arthur Fee is one of Barcelona over rube Lev.
Speaker 1: This is a straight Sid's victory. Arthur, Feez, he looks good,
Speaker 1: he looks amazing.
Speaker 2: What do you think for French?
Speaker 1: I think he's quarterfinals? Maybe said a lot of pressure,
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. And it depends like if Djokovic
Speaker 1: is playing and goes out early, he hasn't played much
Speaker 1: at all. It depends if Alkaaz is playing. So what
Speaker 1: side of the draw Fees ends up on. But to me,
Speaker 1: Fees and Fonseka are the only two guys that seem
Speaker 1: like even remotely competitive against the top two. And I
Speaker 1: guess Verev obviously still floating around up there, but he
Speaker 1: seems to be a real semi final choke specialist.
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I want him to go through, Okay,
Speaker 2: I do all right? Yeah, I'd love to see him win.
Speaker 1: Islam, would you.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: He got choked up just talking about it.
Speaker 2: I know, I feel bad. I felt bad.
Speaker 1: Ah right, yeah, he should have had that. Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so some interesting results. Martikostyak one ruin. I hope I'm
Speaker 1: saying that right. There was a two fifty event. It
Speaker 1: was an all Ukrainian final. So we love mart A
Speaker 1: Kostyak and good to see her win a title. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think on the it's gonna be interesting going
Speaker 1: into the French Open, on both sides in terms of injuries,
Speaker 1: in terms of who's been playing too many tournaments, sabal
Speaker 1: Anka has taken some gaps and I think that's probably
Speaker 1: for the best. She's gonna be rested, and then Ega
Speaker 1: is the dark horse.
Speaker 2: Now yeah, yeah, I think she'll do well. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean a little RAFA coach.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the RAFA coaching. But then she went out to
Speaker 1: Andreva in a yeah that few set match and that
Speaker 1: was Stuttgart as well, Yeah, but indoor clay, and she
Speaker 1: said she prefers to be playing outside.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, maybe she'll do well. Andreva looks good.
Speaker 1: Too, yeah yeah, so I don't know Ega. Then the
Speaker 1: RAFA coaching, who knows if that pays dividends, you would think, so,
Speaker 1: like the King of Clay, give me tips. And then
Speaker 1: we'll see what happened. She is playing in Madrid, and
Speaker 1: Madrid already some fascinating storylines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what is it crazy? There's the atmosphere seems wild.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I would like to go to this.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's all Spanish people. They've just had a
Speaker 1: siesta on the on the same grias. They're going nuts
Speaker 1: out there. It's Sunny trung Letti, who we talked about
Speaker 1: last week as being a thirty six year old that
Speaker 1: finally crowd the top one hundred. Uh dealing with Heckler's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at him. He's asking basically asking someone in
Speaker 2: the crowd to come down and fight him and fight
Speaker 2: on the court.
Speaker 1: Awesome, I love it. Wouldn't that make tennis so much.
Speaker 2: Better if they were crowd fight?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, time, we just have to have a crowd.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It say in the end of it set you
Speaker 1: can the players can pick one person from the crowd.
Speaker 2: Oh that was really annoying that. I would love to
Speaker 2: do that in comedy, Oh the person that didn't laugh.
Speaker 1: Wull shit, you would fight them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, don't put it pos just a little slap, yeah,
Speaker 2: wake up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey Trunga Leeddi absolutely screaming at someone in the
Speaker 1: crowd to come down. And yeah, but obviously the tournament
Speaker 1: organizers prevented any fisticuffs for altercations, which he probably knew
Speaker 1: trunkle Eddy knew, Yeah, of course. Yeah. It's like when
Speaker 1: you see two guys at a bar about to fight
Speaker 1: and one says to his other buddy like, hold me back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, don't know, Yeah, push him in, Yeah,
Speaker 2: go for.
Speaker 1: It, advocating violence on pod Labor Arena as Rod Laver's
Speaker 1: legacy would love this to be under his name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love Madrid and like, uh, there's a few veteran
Speaker 1: players that are going out early. Yeah, the big story
Speaker 1: line and the kind of debate which we brought up before.
Speaker 1: Venus Williams uh got a wild card in and then
Speaker 1: went out immediately in the first round to Covedo. Uh Covedo.
Speaker 1: It was her first one thousand match win. But I
Speaker 1: don't know, are these wildcards.
Speaker 2: Reayeah, you don't want wildcats?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, I mean she deserved looks, she's
Speaker 1: had an epic career. She's a legend, you know, and
Speaker 1: it just feels like, are you taking wild cards from
Speaker 1: maybe an up and comer or.
Speaker 2: New probably yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And that deserves it more. And I mean, she's winning
Speaker 1: a few games, but it's not competitive. And then she
Speaker 1: did a favor for a fellow country woman, Haley Baptiste,
Speaker 1: who played Covedo in the next round and then absolutely
Speaker 1: destroyed her. So the debate now and you're seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of chatter on a on line that they're saying,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? She's like, she could play
Speaker 1: exhibitions and it's not really competitive. I don't know, how
Speaker 1: do you feel.
Speaker 2: I feel like she probably brings such a big crowd
Speaker 2: you don't want to go see it. So give her
Speaker 2: the wild cud.
Speaker 1: Give her the wild card?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she said, totally the last year of wild cards, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know if she'll keep going.
Speaker 1: Could you keep going for a decade?
Speaker 2: If it gets into next year, I'll be like, okay,
Speaker 2: stop giving her the wild cut, Like this is a
Speaker 2: wildcard year.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think she's trying to prove something. Yeah, and if
Speaker 2: it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Yeah next year.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I've turned a corner on this
Speaker 1: because I do want to see these legendary players. You know,
Speaker 1: monkeys went out in the first round to go if
Speaker 1: I Rinka's not even playing Madrid, Yeah, but he kind of.
Speaker 1: He got to the round of thirty two in Barcelona,
Speaker 1: and I'm watching these players that you know, I've been
Speaker 1: watching for the past fifteen twenty years, and as a
Speaker 1: middle aged man myself, I'm like, I do want to
Speaker 1: see them keep going and win. And so maybe I've
Speaker 1: changed my tune to rage against the retirement light. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Next week's song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, rage against the retirement light. Do not go quietly
Speaker 1: into that good night session.
Speaker 2: Beautiful was Mike's poetry.
Speaker 1: I think it's hard. It's like our parents refusing to
Speaker 1: turn their driver's license over. That's basically, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That needs to happen ASA.
Speaker 1: So other things happening at Madrid. The Aussie women absolutely
Speaker 1: ship the bed. Yeah, they are out first round. They're
Speaker 1: all crashed out. So Talia Gibson, Katie Burrell, Isla tom
Speaker 1: Lanovic all out in Kazukino was the most heartbreaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was close. Yeah, she had a bunch of
Speaker 2: trying to see her do well. She's had a bit
Speaker 2: of a rough start to the year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of match points can convert fifteen to
Speaker 1: thirteen in the final tiebreak. Yeah, so she went out
Speaker 1: to Daria Snigour, who then played Igo Shawantek in the
Speaker 1: next round and got absolutely trounced.
Speaker 2: She's not looking good. Do you think it's just the clay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe a hangover from the Billy Jean King Cup, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not looking great and yeah, not being raised playing
Speaker 1: on clay and so not a surface they're comfortable with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think there's still I know Alexei Popperin went out,
Speaker 1: but I think it's Sinner's tournament to lose. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: sits a Pass of course, had drama as he always
Speaker 1: does the King Dad at every match. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: chattering away and it finally costs it to pass a point.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, the warning that was in the previous set.
Speaker 1: Now he gets to the point penalty.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: So we have some footage here of Si Pass who's
Speaker 1: playing American Patrick Kipson, and I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: seen Kipson before, but he's like a giant hunky pirate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's quite rating specimen. I'm just gonna start doing hunk
Speaker 1: watch on the show, and I think, uh.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he's a little bit pirate, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a real uh Jack sparrow thing, very.
Speaker 2: Like has he got eyeliner on?
Speaker 1: I think he used to be wearing eyeliner.
Speaker 2: He was chatting all through the point to his dad
Speaker 2: and then the umpire cold and ct beuz is like
Speaker 2: he doesn't mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He was trying to say, like the other player is
Speaker 2: fine with it, yeah, and the like really, I.
Speaker 1: Think Patrick Gibson said, are you serious? What in other
Speaker 1: news curios?
Speaker 2: Yes, he's coming back.
Speaker 1: Yes, are you by curios? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I am by curios to see if this is for real? Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I feel like he does. He comes back old time.
Speaker 1: He comes back all the time. But he's played just
Speaker 1: seven singles matches between January twenty twenty three and April
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not a lot.
Speaker 1: He's not going to be a match fit at all.
Speaker 1: I think he loves the grass and he I think
Speaker 1: is one holiday before the Germany crass Court tournament and
Speaker 1: the lead up to like his best run to the
Speaker 1: Wimbledon final. But is this how do you feel? Do
Speaker 1: you feel like this is him just money?
Speaker 2: Can't keep plugging barbecues. Yeah, he's going to get back
Speaker 2: on the court.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 2: be back for long.
Speaker 1: No, if he makes a proper run at it, you'd
Speaker 1: have to start training like every day, NonStop from now.
Speaker 1: Obviously slipping slipping.
Speaker 2: Slipping, slip, what is it? Sounds like, what was that
Speaker 2: meant to be?
Speaker 1: Skipping?
Speaker 2: Oh? Skipping?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, he's skipping all the clay cords because
Speaker 1: he hates clay. And then uh, yeah, we'll see if
Speaker 1: he can make a run at all on grasp but
Speaker 1: I doubt it. And on bald Watch, Currios has hard
Speaker 1: launched his shiny bald head, popping the hat off and clips.
Speaker 1: He's posted to Instagram, so we'll see if that gets
Speaker 1: a run. And you know he's he's out there with
Speaker 1: the he wants to play night matches, so it shines
Speaker 1: off his head and distracts his opponent. That was bald
Speaker 1: Watch Watch, Lizzie. I don't know if you saw this,
Speaker 1: but uh, the NC Double A Tennis champions, the Georgia
Speaker 1: Bulldogs invited to the White House to take a picture with,
Speaker 1: as you say, the great Man.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, favorite President.
Speaker 1: Yes, this photo buckled.
Speaker 2: Me is so funny. Why we're celebrating women's tennis standing
Speaker 2: in front of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is Donald Trump with a bunch of other
Speaker 1: men standing in front of the women's tennis team.
Speaker 2: Beautiful.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they.
Speaker 2: Just go women.
Speaker 1: They're not worried about the optics at all anymore, are they?
Speaker 2: And Trump is so tall, like he's almost level with
Speaker 2: the girls in the second row. So there's three rows
Speaker 2: of women to the back of Trump, and there's one
Speaker 2: to his left. That's kind of like sneaking in.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's cute. But I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: he's standing on a little soap probably. Yeah. Yeah, he's like, we.
Speaker 4: Love women, We love the Georgia women's ten Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 4: we're huge supports of women. You can grab him anywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I mean, congratulations to the Georgia Bulldogs women's
Speaker 1: tennis team. But I mean, come on, just that's bad. Yeah,

Speaker 1: the Australian Open. He was excited to watch Alchorazm a
Speaker 1: lot of the other big players. A big tennis fan himself,
Speaker 1: enjoy our chat with Kegan Palmer. Welcome back to pot
Speaker 1: Labor Arena. Today's guess double gold medal is Kegan Palmer
Speaker 1: is here.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it. I'm excited to be here.
Speaker 1: Man, Thanks for being Yeah, so like you're getting amongst
Speaker 1: the Australian Open. Yeah, you're gonna go see Duckworth Play Center.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah here are you backing in that?
Speaker 5: I mean I gonna go Aussie way for sure, But
Speaker 5: Cinner and Carlos have definitely drawn me into tennis a
Speaker 5: lot more in these last couple of years, for sure.
Speaker 1: Do you play?
Speaker 5: I don't. I've got up. This might be controversial, but
Speaker 5: I play a little paddle, play little paddle really bad
Speaker 5: at tennis, though really bad. I think it's transferable, though
Speaker 5: you probably dominated We're gonna have to get into it.
Speaker 5: Maybe no pickleball, No pickle I can't. I don't know,
Speaker 5: no mud to pick up. Well, I live in California.
Speaker 5: At the moment, everybody plays pickable like all my friends
Speaker 5: do as well?
Speaker 1: Are you huge? Bobby Riggs Tennis Center is now all pickle.
Speaker 5: Like even the tennis like a couple of places where
Speaker 5: we play golf at homes got huge pickleball courts now
Speaker 5: with the tennis courts and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Do you play golf? Play a lot of golf?
Speaker 1: Well, okay, let me see what you think about this,
Speaker 1: because I play a little pickleball. But once I heard
Speaker 1: someone put it this way, it made me question ever
Speaker 1: doing it again. I heard that pickleball is the roller
Speaker 1: blading and as tennis is the skateboarding.
Speaker 5: If that's the case, I might never pick up the
Speaker 5: racket myself.
Speaker 1: But it really ruins it.
Speaker 5: It does. But you know, I can see what the
Speaker 5: appeal is in pickle is really fast paced. You know,
Speaker 5: you're quite close quarters with everyone. You know, balls back
Speaker 5: and forth and stuff, so it's entertaining for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, and you go back and forth to the States.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm back and forth all the time. So you
Speaker 5: got to the dual city beautiful? Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2: I don't I just have ONEZ loser?
Speaker 1: Guys, No, you got to get that double pass for it.
Speaker 1: You feel like Jason Bourne.
Speaker 5: Now, it's just makes it really easy to like, especially
Speaker 5: traveling out of America to like Europe and stuff, It's
Speaker 5: easy to just go.
Speaker 2: On showing off. It's rude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's awesome to have you here. I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask this is maybe in the weeds a little
Speaker 1: bit with skateboarding. I skated when I was growing up
Speaker 1: for years, you know, but now I'm an old piece
Speaker 1: of ship.
Speaker 5: That's cool.
Speaker 1: But I still love, you know, watching it, follow all
Speaker 1: the skaters on on Instagram. I know Chris Joslyn recently
Speaker 1: three sixty flipped Al Toro.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I'm really glad.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: I always was one of the people that thought he
Speaker 5: landed it back in the day because his truck broke
Speaker 5: when he landed, that's right, so he like fell after
Speaker 5: riding away, and then he went back and did it.
Speaker 5: And I'm really stoked for the guy, cause, like we
Speaker 5: ride for the same energy drink, so we do a
Speaker 5: lot of stuff together. He's a great dude, a good
Speaker 5: family guy at home. Yeah he works.
Speaker 1: Hard, oh man, and it's amazing. Yeah, like the ankle,
Speaker 1: how old is he?
Speaker 5: Dude, He's got to be rude, but yeah he definitely
Speaker 5: is up there a little bit no.
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't like, yeah, a little bit too old.
Speaker 5: No, I was gonna say mid thirties.
Speaker 1: Possibly, Yeah, fuck I feel old, I know, yeah real,
Speaker 1: maybe for Justin's sake, because yeah, he's still killing it
Speaker 1: against all the younger dudes as well. Right, well, I'm
Speaker 1: forty four. What would happen if I tried the three
Speaker 1: sixty flip toro?
Speaker 5: It's definitely like to be a little brutal, but you
Speaker 5: would snap it out because my buddy still breaks and
Speaker 5: I'm meant to be a professional at it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but like, I mean, what were you
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty two, right, and you're surfing as well?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean growing up in the Gold Coast, you
Speaker 5: know my whole childhood, surfing was a big part of
Speaker 5: my life with my parents. You know, both my parents surf.
Speaker 5: My younger brothers surf, so big family of surfers. Snowboarding, yeah, big,
Speaker 5: big time snowboarding. I love it. Yeah. I tried to
Speaker 5: try to do all the board sports. Snowboarding, I like
Speaker 5: think I'm better at it, and then I always hurt myself.
Speaker 5: So I'm like, oh, it feels like I'm on my skateboarding, then.
Speaker 2: Try the same tricks on the snowboard.
Speaker 5: Yes, and then I've broken my collar bone. So we've
Speaker 5: put we've we've we've put the snowboarding progression on hold
Speaker 5: for a little while. Just you know, more fun now,
Speaker 5: just cruising.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit of for sure.
Speaker 1: Pickleball is boogie boarding and surfing is no.
Speaker 5: But it's funny. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we want to do this game with shut up.
Speaker 1: We've obviously I haven't had a pro skater on the show.

Speaker 5: the day, so.
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah, I know Lance Tom Penny was oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the greatest of all times, the NFL chack.
Speaker 5: These names are very credible names, I know, like is
Speaker 5: it's like, you know, are very credible names in the industry.
Speaker 1: So like I heard it here.
Speaker 5: First, Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kigan Palmer says, I'm a legit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got good credit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll try this game. We have a sheet for
Speaker 1: you somewhere that's got a bunch of uh the yep,
Speaker 1: that one there, so I have a quick look. Don't
Speaker 1: say any of it out loud. What you're gonna do
Speaker 1: is throw one from each column at Lizzie. She's going
Speaker 1: to say whether it's a real skateboard trick or not.
Speaker 1: This is going to be correct, and then to test
Speaker 1: how's your tennis knowledge?
Speaker 5: Yeah that this is going to be not the great
Speaker 5: not the greatest.
Speaker 1: She's gonna throw real and fake tennis player names you
Speaker 1: and you got to tell us whether they're real or so. Kagan,
Speaker 1: you start.
Speaker 5: All right, three sixty flip reeal or fake?
Speaker 1: Real? We're just talking about it.
Speaker 5: I don't imagine that it was three sixty flip is
Speaker 5: a trade flip?
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, that's why I was going to go cue.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's what I usually call it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lizzie, Uh, you give Kegan a tennis player that
Speaker 1: could be real or fake.
Speaker 2: Okay, Katie Volley nets.
Speaker 5: It has to be fake? Is it fake?
Speaker 2: Real? Really?
Speaker 1: The trick?
Speaker 2: Sorry?
Speaker 1: No, you're good. I was like, fifty fifty.
Speaker 5: I was like, are they tricking me?
Speaker 2: Or is it it?
Speaker 5: Is it not real?
Speaker 1: Well there you go, fifty to fifty real skateboard trick
Speaker 1: or not?
Speaker 5: Yeah?

Speaker 5: laugh when I read yeah your because they're pretty good.
Speaker 5: Stale fish real.
Speaker 2: A fake, fake, it's real. What does that look like?
Speaker 5: So if you skate with your right foot forward, you're
Speaker 5: grabbing behind your heel, like by your heel with your
Speaker 5: left hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's it pretty much.
Speaker 5: While doing it, I say, that's like I could do it.
Speaker 5: And then you're while you're doing a little era out
Speaker 5: of the transition.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, so right now, keeping tally. You've got
Speaker 1: one wrong, Kegan, You've got one wrong. So uh another
Speaker 1: one from Lizzie?
Speaker 2: Okaykean, what have we got here? Felix boom gator.
Speaker 5: I've got a fifty to fifty chance of guessing, So

Speaker 5: And like ten, I was like, come on, what we've.
Speaker 1: Been doing to wrap up the interviews? As our own

Speaker 1: was the.
Speaker 6: Worst, the worst one point slam we've ever done. Lizzy
Speaker 6: couldn't even get the serve over the net. She double
