1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: What should we launch in show me perfect tennis?

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: No way.

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Tennis FM. You're on with Fridgie

Speaker 1: the tennis tournaments going on, let's junk in with jod

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: in the tennis chopper. Sounds like you're about to spit

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: on Fridgie an American accent. You can try.

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: God damn it, Fridge. It's really high up here, and

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 3: is that good?

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: It's not great, but uh we already American. You are American.

11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: American chopper guy.

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Well, the Chod is a little out of practice, but

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: it's good to have him back. Sam Touton is back

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: in the studio. Everybody, no.

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 3: Security, I won't tell you into No one even looked

16
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: at me when I just came in.

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: How did you feel like walking through the empty grounds?

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: The carnival is packed up and left town.

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: It's really kind of made me lose respect for the

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: organization because it's so big when you hear during the

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: tournament and then now it's like no one caress and

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: there's nothing even to steal. These offices suck.

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a parking lot out there.

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's terrible.

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: They pave paradise. They put up a parking lot.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: That's so true. I think that's what they were talking

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: to Joni. Is that what she was doing?

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: Well, I go with the Counting Crows version.

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: Of course. What a band? What a band?

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: What a hair doo? Pineapple head himself. Speaking of music,

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: let's get into the number one hit of the day.

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: There goes Craig Tyly. Watch him as he goes.

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: Due always nice since finally great job with the AO.

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: No no no, no no no no no.

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Oh so sad Craig Tyler has left us.

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: Left the building, and I've been allowed in. Is there

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: a correlation? Imagine if I'm next in line for the throne,

38
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: I can't like fathom a.

39
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Will are you putting yourself for it?

40
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: Well? I was thinking about this on the drive in,

41
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: and I know I'm not thinking I could, like maybe

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: I'll get the job, but like I was like, what

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: is the job? Do you know what I mean? And

44
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: it's like he was a party in my head. He's

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: just a bit of a party guy.

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: I mean, remember we had a man he played stingpong

47
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: with us, drinking drinking, yes, Smiley, but.

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: What did he do? The Australian Open now one of

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: the premier sporting events in the world, and everyone's like,

50
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 3: what a guy, Look what he's done with the thing.

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: But he kind of just put in like a lot

52
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: of bars, some food stalls, got people come and enjoy

53
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: the fund, like I've hosted a house card to me,

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: the tennis stuff will take care of itself. Yeah, he

55
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: didn't really change anything to do with the tennis. No,

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: it was still what he maybe gave a few like

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: strategical wild cards maybe.

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. He brought Daria Kazakina over from Russia. Okay, so

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: now we have a top female tennis player playing for Australia.

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: Okay, well I could do more of that. I can do.

61
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: Do you want me to go through the Russian handbook

62
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 3: right now? I'll go to any country. I don't care

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: what it is. But you know what I mean, like

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: he created a party atmosphere.

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: We should give context. Craig, Australian Open has left. He's

66
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: going to the US.

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: Of all the places to try to turn.

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Around the US Open. Not to say it needs turning around.

69
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. It's not like I mean, it's

70
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 3: already the biggest kind of thing.

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, give us your pitch. What would you do

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: now for the Australian Open to make it even bigger

73
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: and better? Okay, and your new role is the head

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: of the.

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: Okay, number one, I'm taking the MCG. So it's just

76
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: next door and it just sits there during the Slam week.

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't know why we're not utilizing it rod Laver Arena.

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's fantastic, but come on, we're going to

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: put center court on the MCG one hundred thousand people.

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: You could sell one hundred thousand tickets to the final,

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: to the men's have women's final easily.

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: But you're sitting so far away. If it's a square

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: tennis court.

84
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: Just put there's some big screens out there. Have you

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: ever watched AFL? They're tiny, tiny little men running around.

86
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: It's hard to know what's going on. You put the

87
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: court down there you can watch it. Also, I'm going

88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: to go five set, women are playing five sets.

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: I like that. That's been proposed actually, I.

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: Mean Craig himself even spoke about that. Then we get

91
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: we're selling more airtime for the TV broadcast, more money generated,

92
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: which means more bars. So then if we've got the

93
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: MCG available, that takes pressure off Rod is now free.

94
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: Rave Cave, Ravecave, Rave Cave to our international listener having

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: a rave cave. Mcg is the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

96
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: Hundred thousand seats.

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: And you think one hundred thousand people, what's rod Labor capacity.

98
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: I think it's fifteen, fifteen to twenty yeah. Yeah, so

99
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: you think rod Labor gets packed, you know. Also, but

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: you think there's enough demand for one hundred thousand tennis fans.

101
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: That's super yeah. Yeah, yeah. We have to lower the

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: ticket price so it's going to be spread out more overall,

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: more revenue comes in. What a spectacle. People talk about

104
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: Arthur ash Stadium and that being massive, that's all people

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: talk about. They're like, Wow, it's so.

106
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: Big, that's stupid.

107
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: We're going to dwarf it. We're going to go because

108
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: it's four times that year.

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: But Arthur Ashes too. Okay, having been to a lot

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: of the Grand Slams, I think the bigger the stadium,

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: the worst it is.

112
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: Respectators, Yeah, totally, but we're not worried about like the hardcore,

113
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: rusted on tennis fans. And that's where Tyler has been

114
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: quite brillian. He's been like every man on the street.

115
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: Just come in and have an apperl sprits and that's

116
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: how we're going to turn this into the big thing.

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 3: And that I'm with him.

118
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: He brought in the assault of the earth, the com

119
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Man and the high man, influencers, the influence.

120
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: He's a big influencer. G Yes, he's huge, which is

121
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: weird because like, if you have met the man, which

122
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: we both have, he doesn't seem like a guy who

123
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: knows what's going on with the influencer community.

124
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: He does. Man, I've seen him in the comment saying,

125
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 1: you know, show Bob's please, pretty lady, pretty lady? Oh stunning? Yeah, yeah,

126
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: why is this video of eight hours long?

127
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

128
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. His stumma is just glued to that fire emoji.

129
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Just loves that fire emoji. We're gonna miss him.

130
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna miss him. What a job he's done. One

131
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: of our biggest champions of I mean, he's probably the

132
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: reason why it's still going. That's why I was worried

133
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: that is it going to all end? Now? I don't

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 3: know if they was kind of the driving force by.

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: Some straight laced person takes over that doesn't like the

136
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: cut of our jibs.

137
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're done. Who who is around? Like, do you

138
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: think we need an Australian.

139
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I've seen some names floated.

140
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Craig McLachlin, Craig McLachlin, the guy that got canceled.

141
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: It's something Maglauchlin.

142
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: He did stand up on the foot show. Have you

143
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: seen that guy?

144
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Guy? Not that guy, it's.

145
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: Gil McLaughlin, former head of the a f L. Yes,

146
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: I think you need someone. I was being a bit joke. Well,

147
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 3: it's hard to get up for the idea of Craig

148
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: Maybe Craig McLachlin. It's like, what do you mean if

149
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: we can't get Craig McLachlin, Delta Good Room probably, like

150
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: that's in the world you're talking now.

151
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: She was the ambassador of Slurp it up, your dumb fucks.

152
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: Are we still on the hidick? I've been drinking it,

153
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: have you?

154
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

155
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: Because I was at.

156
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: Because you stole the promo bottles?

157
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,280

Speaker 3: I guess it's a big.

202
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: It's a huge job. I think the I haven't been

203
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: to the US Open many times. I think, do you

204
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: think they need help? Yeah? I mean it's great, but

205
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: it's nothing like this. It's something like the AO. Yeah,

206
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: it just needs the I think it needs bigger grounds first.

207
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you move it out of Queen's

208
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,800

209
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: They do they have the capacity to maybe buy backspace

210
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: or like open it up somewhere else.

211
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not Craig Tiley. I don't know what the

212
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: business capacity is for.

213
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: Okay, well you've crossed your name off the list of

214
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: running a professional tennis tournament. What do we do with

215
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: any solutions?

216
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: The US Okay, the US Open, I'll tell you what's

217
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: wrong with it? Right? Oh, we didn't even check in

218
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: with Ace.

219
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: You.

220
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to be checked in.

221
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, because, like Ace, I feel bad. We've

222
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: had this kind of running gag since you've been gone Totten,

223
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: where I ask them something and then I immediately tell

224
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: them to shut up. Right. Oh me, I know, I know,

225
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: I know, and I think it's a bit of bullying,

226
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: and I actually you think it's a bit of a

227
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: bullet And I actually felt bad when I went back

228
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: and listen to episode. So, really, Ace, we're recording this

229
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: on a Friday. What actual plans do you have for

230
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: this weekend? Blow it out your ass, dick face? Nobody cares?

231
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: All right, So what.

232
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: He text me after this? What I would do for

233
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: the US Open?

234
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: It's needs that party atmosphere that the AO has it doesn't.

235
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: Happen, doesn't need but is it. It's like it's rowdy already. Yeah,

236
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: do they need a DJ?

237
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't need a DJ?

238
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: That would work perfectly in the labor arena rave case,

239
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: you can do a DJ said in it. Oh god.

240
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: The Since weed has become legal in New York, they

241
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: had a problem that Arthur Ash with so many people

242
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: smoking weed in the stadium. The players were getting contact high.

243
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: It's so funny. Okay, well, that's like we can sort

244
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: that out. You can't smoke weed.

245
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying more weed weed. I want every player

246
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: to be high as.

247
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: Okay, No, I like that because then that becomes like

248
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: a different style of game, do you know what I mean?

249
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: Like we have different surfaces that we have to deal with.

250
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: You have to adjust your game. When you get to

251
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: the US Open, you're gonna have to who can play

252
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: better really high?

253
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: This is the real happy Slam now.

254
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be cool because you know when you

255
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: watch them warm me up and they're just kind of

256
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: like dulling it back to each other. Imagine if that

257
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: was every game. We're talking like ten hour.

258
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: On the change of ends, they're just like having some

259
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: girritos and stuff.

260
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: Just sitting in there, just really staring off into the

261
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: distance as they're waiting for the call to get back

262
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: out onto the court.

263
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: But we wish him all the best. Craig Tyler, We're

264
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,480

268
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640

269
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the close call. I don't know.

270
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,080

Speaker 3: they're just driving along.

272
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of Chubs, we had an incident at the Dubai.

273
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Was this in Dubairo? Was this Acapolco?

274
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: I believe this is Acapolco, Abierto, Mexicano.

275
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: It was Valentine evashero beat gailmn fees.

281
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: He said, that's full tent.

00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: Did he say full t Yeah, it looks to be

283
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: more than like it's not nothing.

284
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's excited in any type of arousal way.

285
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: I just think he's got like a chub pudge.

286
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: Like a free standing chub pudge, free standing day to

287

00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Look, when you reach a certain age, you'll start to

292
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,880

295
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: do you think?

296
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: Is he bean bagging or is he well if you

297
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: got a bean bag? Or is he a little bit more?

298
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's how you're framing it. We have coined

299
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: a new term here, being bean bagging. Should Yeah, this

300
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: is a chub close call.

301
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: I mean it couldn't be more of a job class.

302
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: I had some stomach problems.

303
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: I took care of it during the sets.

304
00:14:53,480 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of Acapoca, let's get into the headline calls acapogo.

305
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,040

Speaker 3: He had a win only a few weeks in Rotterdam.

312
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: I want to say he won this a few years ago.

313
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,760

00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: So what's yeah?

315
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: But I guess he wasn't call little man in his confidence.

316
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: Well, so he went out to an American qualifier, Kipson

319
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: what I say when I'm calling my cat mir Mir.

320
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: The South American swing kind of rules, Like looking through

321
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: the drawls down there in Argentina and Brazil, I'm like,

322
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: these are some names that they're not making it over

323
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: here to the Australian summer.

324
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of the clay court tournaments, you'll be like,

325
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: who the hell is this person special? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

326
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: they're derogatorily. Is that a word referred to as dirt rats?

327
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: Really?

328
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

329
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? You called them dirtrats before the podcast, Yeah yeah, yeah,

330
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: you didn't preface.

331
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: I call anyone who lives down there.

332
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: Dude, I play at Fitzroy North A tennis courts on

333
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: the clay sometimes. Does that make me do it right?

334
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: If you're partial to it, if you prefer I play.

335
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: Better on the clay, Yeah, A little that uneven bounced,

336
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: it slows down, it sucks. Yeah, I would say I'm

337
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: gonna do it round.

338
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: Well, Casper Rude went out as well. He's just had

339
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: a baby. What's he doing hanging out in Acapolco anyway,

340
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: it's just exactly. And Alejandro Davidovich for Kina, who I

341
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: love as a player, but I just I don't know.

342
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: He seems very temperamental and he doesn't really I think

343
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: he'll do better on the clay.

344
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: But why is the Mexican it's on a hard court. Yeah.

345
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: In Santiago right now they're playing on clay, and Paris

346
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: they played on clay.

347
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I believe Santiago is a two to fifty event. This

348
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: one's the five hundred. So you're going to get the

349
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: better player.

350
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: Okay, you're going to get there more money on the line.

351
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,600

352
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,360

355
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,120

Speaker 1: the airline saying you might want to reconsider so.

393
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 3: And that's the way they would. Yeah, I believe, I know.

394
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: But we're already through as of recording to the quarterfinals

395
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,000

396
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: been playing some crazy matches. Nakashima plays Valentin Vashero, the

397
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: aforementioned beanbager, and then the highest seed left in the

398
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: draw is Koboli, who we discussed last week because he

399
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: just got a cool incredible hulk tet.

400
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 3: That is cool. That is cool, so cool.

401
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all the top seeds out over there, Dubai

402
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: is through to the semifinals, Felix Auge ali Asim playing Medvedev,

403
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: and the other semi is rube Lev against Greek Spor.

404
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: I would love to see an all Russian final for

405
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: Dubai Medvedev Rublev would be sweet.

406
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 3: I would like to see Dubai played on clay, if

407
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 3: any kind.

408
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Of like, so they're just melting into it, yeah.

409
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: Dude, if any like, look, it's just all sand over there,

410
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: Like surely they could make the clay much better.

411
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Play on sand. Why not?

412
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: Just a bit of a gusta breeze, It just a

413
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: wall blows away.

414
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. So who do you like? I mean, Felix,

415
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: friend of the show. We love Felix, But I mean

416
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I just like Medvedev kind of starting to play well,

417
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: which is important heading in Indian wells.

418
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: I think Medvedev is like underachiever in terms of his

419
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,959
Speaker 3: like tenacity ability. You know, we've seen it big like

420
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 3: a few years ago. You would love to see him

421
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: recapture that like angry man. And I don't get me wrong,

422
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 3: I still think he's an angry man. But I want

423
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: to see that fire again. That year he came out

424
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: here and he was the most hated man in the country. Yeah,

425
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: it was unbelievable.

426
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, he loves playing the villain and when he does,

427
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: it's so entertaining.

428
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: Well, some people just play the heel way better than

429
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: some people. Can't do the nice guy thing or just

430
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: be like assured of themselves. Some people just have to

431
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 3: be like and get everyone offside. And maybe that's what

432
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: he needs to kind of kick started. But you'd love

433
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 3: to see him back at the top because I don't know,

434
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: I feel like he's too talented to not be in

435
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: the conversation as being like if there's a big four

436
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: or a big five, to not kind of rejoin that.

437
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think players figured him out because he's standing,

438
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, so far back off the baseline on serve

439
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: and they just figured out just hit a deep serve

440
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: and then dropshot him and he's just.

441
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: And he's still all the way at the back. Yeah,

442
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: but I mean an elite players should be able to

443
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 3: adjust adjust to that. You can't stand back there and

444
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: just go, ah, they got me again. I can't believe

445
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: that they got me again.

446
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: But none of these guys have been serving a volley.

447
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: How did I not see that coming? He's standing against

448
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: the chub sign in the bag they're getting.

449
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: But I'm with him, like it is if someone's like, on,

450
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: if you're playing them with their serve, man, your temptation

451
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: is just to keep getting further back. He should be

452
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 3: better than me, obviously, But I'm like just saying, man,

453
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: I get it. You want to get further back.

454
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I guess why not just wait in the locker.

455
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 3: Room, just don't turn up.

456
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: At the end of the episode, stick around, we'll be interviewing.

457
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 3: Tommy Haas Sensational. Yes, I remember this interview.

458
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: It was a great interview.

459
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I saw Mike beg you did you beg?

460
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: I begged a little bit. I mean, I'll be over

461
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: at Indian Wells. He runs the tournament. Yeah, hook me up.

462
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: He's got to hook you up.

463
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: You'll hear in the interview he was like, oh, maybe

464
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: you can get into NOBU.

465
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is a real like that's like if you

466
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 3: were asking Craig Tiley when he ran the Australian Open,

467
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,320

478
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: Austin Open is happening at the moment. A lot of

479
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Ouzie is doing well. Aila tom Lanovich, isn't it. She's

480
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: playing Iva Jovic really right now, right now as we speak, Yovich,

481
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: they're on serve to one. But tom Lanovic takes on

482
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: a screen. Tom Lanovic took out wild card Venus Williams

483
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 1: en route to this sixteen and she's at the US Open.

484
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: She beat Serena Williams a couple of years ago and

485
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: Serena's final US Open match, so she's just slowly taking

486
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: out the Williams sisters hopes and dreams.

487
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: She'll get their auntie.

488
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Burrell Australian is still in it. She be

489
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: Dollar Hide, so it's good to see. And then it's

490
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: Americans are just kind of rolling through. Peyton, Stearns and

491
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: Krueger are still in it. But this interesting thing coming

492
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: out of the Austin WTA event is that they have

493
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: their own private rage room.

494
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah it rules. Yeah, yeah, I think it's a good move.

495
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: I know players don't want to be seen smashing the reck.

496
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, So now there is a room where

497
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: you can go in and just get angry, which I

498
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: think they do. This happens for normal people in everyday life.

499
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: There are these rooms where you can just take an

500
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: axe and just like chop shit. Have you seen this

501
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: and a lot of like angry child, divorced women. I

502
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: swear we get a story on it on the project.

503
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

504
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 3: You can pay money. You pay a fee, it's like

505
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 3: fifteen dollars and you go in and there's just like

506
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: junk and they give you an ax and some like

507
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: safety goggles and you just get to smash it up

508
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: and take out all your rate. Really yeah, I think

509
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 3: you need to try you could you could try it.

510
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: I have a cry room where I sit and cry

511
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: bedroom my bedroom, thank you, but a rage room.

512
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 2: I don't know.

513
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: You wouldn't go to a rage Do.

514
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: You think I have a sublimated rage that needs to be.

515
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: Well, I just think you, like you suppress a lot

516
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: of it, probably, which I don't know, Shade, I think

517
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: that's the correct way to do it. Like, I agree

518
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: with you, okay, but I'm saying it could be healthy

519
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: to let it out.

520
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Do you think Venus went into the rage room after

521
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: getting taken out in straight so it's by Tom Lanovitch.

522
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I think she probably would, but it would

523
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: suck to go in and then there's someone else in there,

524
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: Like you get in there and they're raging, and you're

525
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 3: gonna be like, oh wait, I'll just wait. I'll just

526
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: wait for you to finish it. Can you let me

527
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: know when your rage is done? Well, they're going to

528
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 3: start my rage.

529
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: They're so competitive, they'd be like their rage sit a

530
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: little better than my room.

531
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: You know what's going to happen. They're going to go

532
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: in and then someone's raging and they go they've just

533
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: lost to them or whatever, and then they'll just physically

534
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 3: find there's no cameras. Yeah, they'll just that's the way

535
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: to get the rage out. They just start throwing punches,

536
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: pulling hair, kicking.

537
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: I mean, then we gotta get cameras in there.

538
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that's the problem. It seems like they

539
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 3: shouldn't actually tell people this because right now I'm just

540
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 3: like I would pay any money to have that as

541
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: a separate stream. Yeah, be like you can watch what's

542
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: going on in the rage room, because imagine you watch

543
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: a game, like someone gets bundled out in straight sets,

544
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: or they lose a tiebreaker on a double fault or something,

545
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 3: and then you just know, like, oh, in five minutes,

546
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: the rage rooms.

547
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're thinking about it already. Yeah. I mean even

548
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: if you're like just getting smoked in a match and

549
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: like you're down a you know, zero two or whatever, Yeah,

550
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: you're going to be like you're just already thinking about

551
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: the rage room.

552
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: Well, because it's not fair, Like it doesn't The fundamental

553
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: thing of like rage and emotion is that like it

554
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 3: is uncontrollable sometimes and you have to let it out.

555
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: So if you, you know, double fault four times in

556
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 3: the first set, lose it and then you're like, oh,

557
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: I can't wait for the rage room. It's like it's

558
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: not really doing You're still suppressing the thing because you

559
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: want to take the rage out right now in the moment. Yeah.

560
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: So I don't know what the rae it's the rage

561
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: room not that healthy because you're just putting it down there.

562
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, like it's good. I guess if people

563
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: need to get it out, But to me, I'm like,

564
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 3: it doesn't solve the problem if you just wanted to

565
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: break a racket in the middle of Senate.

566
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Coor what if you got injured in the rage room?

567
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what if you have a fall and then

568
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: you're just laying there? Do people come in and rage

569
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: a room?

570
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: The next person gets to come in and then you're

571
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: part of the rage room?

572
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: What about the shame of walking out?

573
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: Ah? Yes, the shame room like my bedroom the shame room.

574
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you need a shame room.

575
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: If yeah, your rage isn't.

576
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 3: Well, I think the only way to do it is.

577
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 3: So there's a great pub in Sydney called the Foresters.

578
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: I know it.

579
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you sit on the front balcony, it's

580
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: opposite a very prominent brothel. Yeah you can watch you

581
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: watch we probably there yeah yeah yeah.

582
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: We used to sit there and watch guys leave the

583
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: brothel and cheer as.

584
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah yeah. And it would get so embarrassed, and

585
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: you'd see guys trying to go in and they'd be

586
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: like pretending to like text on their phone and then

587
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: be like oh what and then stumble into these places.

588
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I saw a few perfectly blue sky umbrellas come out.

589
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: Dude leaveing brother.

590
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: They're just very like skin conscious. Yeah, they're worried about

591
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 3: the sun. Yeah yeah, yeah, but they need to put

592
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 3: to avoid a situation like that happening where you just

593
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: set up in front of the rage room and just

594
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: watch these people come out. They need to put it

595
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: like next to something like so someone could be coming

596
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: out of either thing. So it's either a prayer room

597
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: next to the rage room. So they're either a really

598
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: good person or a really bad person coming in and out.

599
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: So you think it goes prayer room, brothel room, rage room,

600
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: shame room.

601
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 3: Saying I'm not saying the ATP too need to introduce

602
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: a brothel room.

603
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what Craig Tyler is going to bring to America.

604
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I mean that would turn it round, wasn't it. Yeah?

605
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 3: Wait, so you're saying it goes prayer room. Wait, prayer room,

00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: No, if anything, it goes.

Speaker 1: to put tennis players into the Simpsons universe. Yeah, what

615
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: do you think is that? My favorite thing is that

616
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: if you look at the comments on this, it's a

617
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: lot of people saying is this real? Yeah?

618
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,920

619
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 3: does look real.

620
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

621
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm kind of with them, like I get that it's

622
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 3: like part of me. This is a problem with AI. Okay,

623
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 3: it gets you, and you just have to admit it

624
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: when it gets you, and you can't be lulled into

625
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 3: commenting being like is this real, because it'll take you

626
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: fifteen seconds to go of course it's not really what trick?

627
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 3: It just looks real?

628
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: No, but what's tricked? Like what AI has tricked you?

629
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: And the big waves, you the big waves that are

630
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: coming in at to like the beach and people are surfing.

631
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, holy shit.

632
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

633
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: And then I'm like, oh, seventeen thousand comments.

634
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: And you didn't comment as as real?

635
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: No, no, no, but other people have the it's not

636
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: really there.

637
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: You go, what an idiot?

638
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: What an idiot? They dumb it?

639
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: Are you checking the comments to see if people are

640
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: like AI fake?

641
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, okay, no, but I refuse to believe that

642
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: there's no one out there that never knows AI, never

643
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: knows what's real. I think it gets you sometimes quickly

644
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: and then you realize that you're wrong. These for example,

645
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, how did they get what a cast?

646
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: Rinka's homer is great? Federal pretty good, that's amazing. Curios

647
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: is Nelson?

648
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's just it is perfect. It is

649
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: really really perfect.

650
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: Did you notice Djokovic and Nadal are missing from this

651
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: Simpsons Tennesse AI, So where would you put them in

652
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: the Simpsons universe? I think Nadal as auto really bus

653
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: driver or Hans Moreman Man is good because of the

654
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: balding hair.

655
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, it worked. Could could is this going

656
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: for like Djokovic to be like like the monorail Man

657
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: or something, because he's got a bit of that like

658
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: showman showmanship from nowhere I know he's from, maybe not

659
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: as personal as monorail Man.

660
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Right in the pod labor kind of stuck where you

661
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: want to see Jokovic or any other player in the

662
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: Simpsons universe that doesn't exist in this ar already, this

663
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: segment is gonna blow your mind right out of your ass.

00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 3: Why are you doing anagram segment?

666
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: Well? I did one for Emma rad A Kanu as

667
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: she was playing in Transylvania, and I switched the letters

668
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: around and it was U M named Dracula and it

669
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: was such a big hit. See he's confused. I don't

670
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: like if you don't think wordplay is a party, you're

671
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: a nerd.

672
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 3: All right, what are we doing?

673
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: So it's Francis Tiafo this week, who, like I said,

674
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: is playing in Acapoco. I have him. My prediction is

675
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: by the time people are hearing this will know the

676
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: winner of Acapoco. And I'm called it now on the

677
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: Friday where he's in through to the quarterfinals. I'm saying

678
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna win, but I'm not even adding w to

679
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: his name. Okay, he's in Acapoco. He what a party city, Mexico.

680
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: It's you know, everyone loves it at the moment. It

681
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: seems fun.

682
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: It's really fun.

683
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: And you know there's a lot of temptation out there

684
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: yet Francis Teofo. But you know, I know he's got

685
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: a lovely partner as well. What if he if he

686
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: wanted to? I changed the letters around in his name

687
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: and just say, if he if he were to succumb

688
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: to temptation, this is so now I've changed the letters around.

689
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:51,720

Speaker 4: I don't know what it was, but I think it

732
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: was good to always, you know, end of November December,

733
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 4: sort of get ready to have a little bit of

734
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: time to work in a few things, try to get

735
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,680

00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: Right, Is it like hardcourt your favorite surface?

738
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 4: Then? It was, yeah, especially for a long time, even

739
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 4: though growing up in Germany you played you know, five

740
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 4: six months on the red clay and then obviously five

741
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 4: six months due to the weather indoors and back in

742
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: the day with a lot of carpet, so it was like,

743
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 4: you know, quite a big difference. But then you know,

744
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 4: moved to Florida to baw Terry Tennis Academy at the

745
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 4: age of thirteen, and they, you know, dominantly only had

746
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 4: hard courts, so I preferred playing on hard courts.

747
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: Were you there at the same time as z Agasy.

748

749
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 4: Was there too for a little bit longer? Yeah, because

750
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: they had then this situation where Nick boll Terry chose

751
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 4: to sit in the Agacy's box and then yeah, like

752
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 4: that and so he kind of disappeared. But Samples was

753
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,840

781
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: i'd to an interview where your opinion on pickleball was expressed.

782
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 2: Was it really did I say that?

783
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

784
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: I did? Okay, Well, what would you say? Pickleball is

785
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: tennis for people with no athletic ability.

786
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: Pretty much, okay, which is a great thing.

787
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 4: By the way, Tennis is not for everyone's Like my

788
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 4: youngest daughter got really into tennis now in the past

789
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: two years, and you know, I've been trying to help

790
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 4: a little bit, and it's such a hard sport and

791
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: you realize it, right. It's like when you know how

792
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 4: to play and you're always like, listen, I told you

793
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 4: enough for the tenth time. Just you know, quick steps

794
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 4: over there, turn your shoulders, you know, come under the

795
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: ball and through and finish the swing.

796
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, you.

797
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 4: Say it so easily, but it's not so easily done

798
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: where it's like you take a you know, pickleball racket,

799
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: which is already a shame.

800
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: You know, once you hold it in your hand, you can't.

801
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 4: It's like bring some cheese and.

802
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: And then the ball and the sound.

803
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 4: It's like there should be like a you know, an

804
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 4: age limit when you're able to play this game.

805
00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: What they say, I mean, earl.

00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: Ostile pass in America are making a fortune because it's

807

808
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: Have you played, Tommy, I actually have?

809
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you get no enjoyment out of it at all?

810
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 4: Really well, yeah, if it's not tennis, then then play

811
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 4: ping pong or something like that.

812
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: And then if you're out of all options, maybe played pickaball.

813
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 4: No not even then then find some new game or

814
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,359
