Speaker 2: I met a pod fan in the wild.
Speaker 1: Sorry, what, Yeah, where were you?
Speaker 2: I was buying furniture for my new apartment and they said,
Speaker 2: are you Mike gold See And I thought, I don't know.
Speaker 2: They made have seen a stand up show or something,
Speaker 2: And I said, I listened to the tennis pod. There's
Speaker 2: somebod who works at the store. Oh, And I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: can I get a discount on this tall boy that
Speaker 2: I'm buying? And they said absolutely not. But this was
Speaker 2: the craziest thing anyone's ever said to me. They go,
Speaker 2: so you're a comedian. I go, yeah, I'm a comedian,
Speaker 2: and they go, is Jerry Seinfeld nice in.
Speaker 3: Person, like you and Jerry are best. But I wish yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean you visit New York.
Speaker 1: He lives in New York.
Speaker 2: I know, I didn't know what to say. I was
Speaker 2: just like, I mean, I've heard he's okay, he's an
Speaker 2: older gentleman, maybe a little prickly.
Speaker 1: But that's almost as crazy as when the girl after
Speaker 1: my show said, do you still keep in touch with
Speaker 1: Merrett Sap?
Speaker 2: I mean again, you wish?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, wow, that'd be crazy.
Speaker 2: Oh the swagger on Marat. We'd love to get him.
Speaker 1: Back in Yeah, he'll be back next year.
Speaker 2: Hopefully if he's still coaching Rube lev and you know,
Speaker 2: wants his little Australian holiday and uh another well tennis
Speaker 2: kind of news. I watched The Dink. Oh you watched it.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it, but I want to watch it
Speaker 1: because well, it's pick a ball, it's tennis. It's Aaron Chen.
Speaker 2: Aaron Chen good buddies in it. Yeah. Yeah, and he's great,
Speaker 2: he's very funny. But you know who steals the movie,
Speaker 2: especially well in every scene he's in, Andy Roddick. Yeah
Speaker 2: he rules. Yeah, my name is Dusty Boyd.
Speaker 1: But most people on planet Earth know me as big.
Speaker 1: You're not a winner. Guy that almost beat and.
Speaker 2: I'm ready play now if you want. He's so funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a funny guy.
Speaker 2: He looks like Stiffler and he's got the Stiffler the energy.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, just cameo though, but he's like
Speaker 1: hamming up his I'd say.
Speaker 2: Slightly bigger than a cameo because he comes back in
Speaker 2: into the final climactic scene. So yeah, but he's fantastic
Speaker 2: in it. The tennis, you know, when I watch these movies,
Speaker 2: like I'll watch Challengers, and I hated the tennis in
Speaker 2: It's and Daya's grip, What the hell is going on there?
Speaker 2: And then the tennis in it is like whatever Jake
Speaker 2: Joe Hansen Johnson whatever his name is, the name guy,
Speaker 2: but they got two junior boys to like be young
Speaker 2: Rodick and young Jake Johnson character and they are absolute weapons,
Speaker 2: like juniors just ripping the ball. So from a tennis perspective, great,
Speaker 2: but just watch it for Andy Roddick.
Speaker 1: Okay, watch it. Do you have to go to the theato.
Speaker 2: You have to have an Apple subscription.
Speaker 1: I think I have one of them. Yeah, who knows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I lose track of what I've got.
Speaker 2: Take my password.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that's friendship.
Speaker 2: Well actually level level. You'll still stay logged in and
Speaker 2: so yeah, I will stay studio flat in Edinburgh.
Speaker 1: I'll be giving out the log into.
Speaker 3: A Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I had one lead up question where were
Speaker 2: you at two pm yesterday when the Australian alarm alert?
Speaker 1: Okay, this was I was napping. Oh, I was napping
Speaker 1: and actually needed to get up, and then I got
Speaker 1: this jack jack.
Speaker 2: So it was like a national wake up alarm for you.
Speaker 2: My little est our producer again this week is Fridge. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we have the fridge back looking cool? Is a que company?
Speaker 1: We need like a can chunk?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Where were you? Fridge? Did a catcher off guard?
Speaker 1: I really did? Yeah, yeah, I forgot about it. Yeah
Speaker 1: where were you?
Speaker 2: I was playing tennis and it was advantageous for me
Speaker 2: because it went off when the other guy was serving.
Speaker 1: Did you tie that? You?
Speaker 2: Like totally? But it was amazing. The other dude was
Speaker 2: serving and then he double faults after it happened, because
Speaker 2: like thirty phones went off and then he doubled and
Speaker 2: I was like yes, But then I lost the match anyways,
Speaker 2: but also when it like people for anyone who doesn't
Speaker 2: know is outside the country. The Australian government had everyone's
Speaker 2: phones go off at two pm at the same time
Speaker 2: as a trial alarm system.
Speaker 1: It was like on the back of I think it
Speaker 1: was the fires right that they thought we need like
Speaker 1: a nationwide alarm just so.
Speaker 2: You if you don't see the giant fire that's ripping
Speaker 2: through your town, you phone will make a noise to
Speaker 2: warn you. But it also activated the microchip that was
Speaker 2: implanted by the COVID vaccine. And now I will vote
Speaker 2: for Albanesi for life. And that was conspiracy corner. I
Speaker 2: believe Errol's back next week and Lizzie will be gone.
Speaker 2: It's a revolving door here at Pod Labor. But he's
Speaker 2: up drinking cocktails and what's it called Cape something Port something,
Speaker 2: Palm Coke. He's having the time of his life in Palm.
Speaker 1: Coke quite a long time. This is a long holiday.
Speaker 2: And I didn't really he's with the in laws on
Speaker 2: this trip.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, so interesting.
Speaker 2: Sounds awesome, buddy is He's just having cocktails by the
Speaker 2: beach a good time.
Speaker 1: We're freezing hoping he gets taken by a crocodile.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, don't swim because of the jellyfish, and
Speaker 2: he's just running in. He's sent through an island themed
Speaker 2: song for us to do. Take it away, Lizzy.
Speaker 1: Of the Madison Keys.
Speaker 2: There's a place called them Boco.
Speaker 1: Since your pass and then will tee your foe.
Speaker 2: Oh I wanna take.

Speaker 2: Not borrowsgo baby, why don't we go?
Speaker 1: That's where we wanna goco.
Speaker 2: My kuolalynska. Oh, I want to glimpse.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: It was very good, especially we didn't practice that at all.
Speaker 1: We did. We're gonna miss this synergy.
Speaker 2: I know what's Ton's gonna bring. He's gonna just bring
Speaker 2: weird vibes and yeah, awkward chats, but we love him.
Speaker 1: Stuff.
Speaker 3: No way.
Speaker 2: As you'll be gone until mid September.
Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to do our picks.
Speaker 2: Well, you're missing the next slam.
Speaker 1: I know I'll be watching it in Edinburgh. That's probably
Speaker 1: a good time for me to watch it there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: be able to watch it during the day. True the
Speaker 1: dream why wow?
Speaker 2: Good stuff. So the US opened. The draw is a
Speaker 2: month away, so before you leave US. I wanted your
Speaker 2: hearts and minds picks. Okay for the US Open, Men's
Speaker 2: and women's.
Speaker 1: Okay, women's Hot Cocoa or o Socca.
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that Coco has won it before, Soccer's
Speaker 2: won it before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, soccer feel I feel like she's getting better and
Speaker 1: better and.
Speaker 2: Better, going deeper and every slam.
Speaker 1: I like that and US two true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's gonna make I can't wait to see what
Speaker 2: kind of fashion statement she show.
Speaker 1: Well, like no limits right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I care about fashion.
Speaker 1: You do after the last episode year old fashion?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Uh and mind says Rebakna.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, she won the Aussie. She's great on a
Speaker 2: hard court, huge serve. That's not a bad shout at all.
Speaker 2: Her form is up and down. But I mean maybe
Speaker 2: that's surface related.
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe, yeah, but I like that. That's good. And
Speaker 1: in the men's and in the men's well, I mean,
Speaker 1: Alcoraz will be back technically, but I don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be fit.
Speaker 2: Who knows. Apparently he's playing Cincinnati, but yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: he's still wearing a wrist brays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still doing little exercises.
Speaker 2: Scary Uh, Algaz is the defending champion, so all those
Speaker 2: points to defend. But that final was him in Center
Speaker 2: last year and in terms of their matchups, not the
Speaker 2: epic everyone wanted it to be, but Algres still came
Speaker 2: out on top. But I think the wrist is going
Speaker 2: to be a tsue.
Speaker 1: Uh, mind says Sinna's vera final hot. You know who
Speaker 1: I'd really love to see go learn a t in.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see him like reach final stages.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I think he's been in the
Speaker 2: second week of a couple slams, and I think he
Speaker 2: plays better on hardcore and that would be awesome. Michael
Speaker 2: Chang is still coaching at Yeah, and just.
Speaker 1: In the US and the US home not hometown but
Speaker 1: home Hero.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nomination, Home Nation. All Right, I love that women's heart. Pagola,
Speaker 2: she's in tennis terms, maybe at the latter end of
Speaker 2: her career. Yeah, She's lost to sable Anka in the
Speaker 2: finals of the US a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 2: I just think.
Speaker 1: She is a due story.
Speaker 2: Mine Sabolenca. Mine's boring, but yeah, yeah, I mean mine
Speaker 2: is just Sablenca center every Slam this.
Speaker 1: Year basically, Mind is stats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like a Sablenca Rebecca, the final could be awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean we got that at the ausse this year.
Speaker 2: Uh Men's Heart Shelton, Yes, beautiful. Uh and yeah mind Center,
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Currently the DC Open is on right now.
Speaker 2: I was watching before leaving to record today. Kate and
Speaker 2: Cory is back. Oh yeah. I thought he was just
Speaker 2: quietly retired. Okay, yeah, because he had so many injuries,
Speaker 2: multiple injuries, and he was just kind of like I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, yeah, that's him done. I hadn't seen
Speaker 2: him in a year, I think since the last US Swing,
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, he was about to win a match.
Speaker 2: We'll just check in DC Open scores real quick. The
Speaker 2: match has now finished. Nisha Corey took it out in
Speaker 2: three against Shang. Other news just for the DC Open
Speaker 2: as it is happening right now. Vukic Australian one against
Speaker 2: Schweida pretty easily. This would have been a great match.
Speaker 2: Fritz over Bergs and two. What's in a great match
Speaker 2: in the end, but on paper and also the return
Speaker 2: of Lorenzo Mouzzetti, I love it. One of the most
Speaker 2: stylish players to watch, amazing one handed backhand and a
Speaker 2: real cutie pie match. Yeah yeah, all the Italians, Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: just smoke shows honks. Give us one non Italian honk right.
Speaker 1: Average gun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't you kill for just just Danny DeVito, Italian
Speaker 2: player just out there waddling.
Speaker 1: Around trying to reach over the net.
Speaker 2: They just love him all day. Troupshot lob combo on
Speaker 2: the field, TFO is about to play at Maine and
Speaker 2: Tabila over Greek sports. A man, is what you're trying
Speaker 2: to do about scatman? I thought you were going for
Speaker 2: like no, no, no, no, no no no no man, Oh
Speaker 2: that works too, it does. They both work. Scatman is
Speaker 2: like a I forget about the Scotman.
Speaker 3: Forget about them, forget about then.
Speaker 2: You know who I think about maybe once a week though,
Speaker 2: is the informer.
Speaker 1: I had used to have an informer ring tone.
Speaker 2: Skim the band and he licks your boomboo down. In
Speaker 2: the women's of the d C Open, Navarro over Kennon
Speaker 2: and two sets Madison Keys, as we record, is currently
Speaker 2: locked in a third set battle against Samsonova, stunning another
Speaker 2: match that would have the good on paper. Fernandez and
Speaker 2: Lynette Fernandez took that one out and caught you. Otaretto
Speaker 2: over Towson, So we will keep track. Obviously, the DC
Speaker 2: Open is the first five hundred on the hard court
Speaker 2: swing in the US. Yeah, and demon Ar is going
Speaker 2: to be defending his title.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wish him well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a possible second round with him and
Speaker 2: cruz Hewitt.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. It's like student and mentor. And we should
Speaker 2: say that our erstwhile producer Erroll has coined the term
Speaker 2: cruise missile.
Speaker 1: Okay, you don't like it, cruise missile.
Speaker 2: The missile. Yeah, you remember Philipposa's well this is a scud, right,
Speaker 2: but then if cruise missile takes hold all credit to
Speaker 2: our producer.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, cruise missile, we'll give it a go. I
Speaker 1: don't love it. It doesn't roll off the tongue for me.
Speaker 2: I think the missile is a good sports moniker.
Speaker 1: Right yeah, yeah, yeah, cruise missile.
Speaker 2: If he picks her forehand missile, yeah, what would you?
Speaker 2: Cruise controls control?
Speaker 1: That makes more sense to me, cruise missile. But I
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like you will get a lot
Speaker 1: of tips from Dad on how to beat the demon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if that's a possibility.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I guess you know, Leighton has coached the
Speaker 2: demon for years and in the Davis Cup and everything.
Speaker 2: So but Cruz Hewitt has to beat Marcus Giron, an
Speaker 2: American player who's very crafty and good so to get
Speaker 2: to that demon Ar match. And also Demonar is coming
Speaker 2: off his honeymoon. Yeah is that good or is that bad?
Speaker 1: I don't know. How did you feel after your honeymoon?
Speaker 2: Like I never wanted to work or do anything ever? Again?
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's a bad thing.
Speaker 2: I was a month in the Hawaii basically for my honeymoon,
Speaker 2: and I was like, yeah, well I don't want to
Speaker 2: do anything, like my savings were being depleted. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, I could just live like this forever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you don't want to defend a title in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: After a honeymoon. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: But because he's obviously won it before, say he could
Speaker 2: do it again. Maybe he's rested and relaxed. I reckon
Speaker 2: that that press conference he had during Wimbledon where he
Speaker 2: looked deflated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now he would have had the happiest time
Speaker 1: of his life, assume. And then yeah, comes in for
Speaker 1: the wind.
Speaker 2: Where was your honeymoon? Fridge? Nice?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Right, snowboarding.
Speaker 1: Oh beautiful. The fridge just gets cooler every time he
Speaker 1: gets more.
Speaker 2: Fridge like he does loves the snow. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: summer and the fridge was snowboarding.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So in other news, Yannick Center and Novak Djokovic have
Speaker 2: pulled out of the one thousand Masters event in Montreal.
Speaker 1: Need a little rest.
Speaker 2: I think. Yeah, they prioritize the Slams and they obviously
Speaker 2: want to go in fresh for that, but they Nick
Speaker 2: Center instead of making history by his seventh straight Masters,
Speaker 2: He's going to rest up and cover and probably dominated
Speaker 2: the US.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds like a good plan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's he's still playing Cincinnati. I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure they're all playing Cincinnati. Alcoraz is still listed as playing.
Speaker 1: Okay, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with his wrists, you.
Speaker 1: Don't want to come back too soon.
Speaker 2: No, but you also need to play warm up tournaments like, yeah,
Speaker 2: these other tournaments before the big one.
Speaker 1: Gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you see him just partying and having a
Speaker 2: good time.
Speaker 1: He's he's he's having a good sum Yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Lifting the World Cup trophy, he's raising the roof and
Speaker 2: a betha it. Yeah, but let's we'll see his wrist.
Speaker 2: It is all better.
Speaker 1: Speaking of risks, Yes, dominic team had a wrist industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the end of He tried to come
Speaker 2: back after multiple risk surgeries and he was never the same.
Speaker 2: So yeah, what's happened to a team?
Speaker 1: He's changing it up?
Speaker 2: Is he though?
Speaker 1: He's just registered with a football team. Yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: an eighth division football team.
Speaker 2: Good for him.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: He's still an elite athlete. Yeah, can't dance.
Speaker 1: Or saying doesn't cannot use his hands?
Speaker 2: Yeah true, Yeah, all right football why yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he likes the team's boy. He wants to stay fit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Team is his.
Speaker 1: Name exactly, the team and team.
Speaker 2: Quinton Hollys won his first ATP Tour title over Bublic
Speaker 2: the Boob at the Generally Open in Austria. Quinton Holly's
Speaker 2: is twenty nine years old and like I never won
Speaker 2: a title. This is the first one, huge serving as
Speaker 2: seventeen aces, took it out in straight sets and his
Speaker 2: new ranking is just outside the top fifty and I
Speaker 2: think his highest ranking was forty sixth in the world.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the celebration.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what I love about it is the boom boom mercy.
Speaker 2: No mercy, it's almost it's almost bullied.
Speaker 1: It's so bullying. He's clearly not enjoying it.
Speaker 2: Doused in champagne.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then big Magnum. Yeah, the boobo's shaking up.
Speaker 2: Oh man, the boob on loads. Yeah, and it's just
Speaker 2: like covers hellis And then what I love though, is
Speaker 2: that a to me? Sometimes I'm like, wow, this seems
Speaker 2: like a big waste of champagne. But Booblack then turns
Speaker 2: the bottle on himself and just chugs it. He is
Speaker 2: guzzling it, and I'm like that rules finally the best. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, how would you feel if you want a
Speaker 2: title for your first time and then the guy you
Speaker 2: just beat just das and champa?
Speaker 1: I think I would hate it, But then I would
Speaker 1: get the bottle off him or get a new bottle
Speaker 1: and do it back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Usually they just wore with it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they each other.
Speaker 1: And yeah, how would you feel.
Speaker 2: If it's like a fun if it didn't seem as
Speaker 2: aggressive as Bubleck just dumping champagne.
Speaker 1: On my head? Yeah, close fire.
Speaker 2: If I had my own and there was a bit
Speaker 2: of a you know, combat champagne combat that seems fun. Ok, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, Lizzie, who I mean?
Speaker 1: Trying to get my head around this. I don't quite understand.
Speaker 2: In the escer Old tournament, they give prize money to
Speaker 2: the players on court by having a massive phone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the clip it's then transferred. The money is e f
Speaker 2: t okay to the player for the whole crowd to
Speaker 2: see on a phone like double the size of the
Speaker 2: tournament director here, and he's hitting the buttons and he's
Speaker 2: quite an older guy. I'm surprised he got through to
Speaker 2: the Yeah, funds transfer that easily.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true two factor authentication on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have thrown it for a loop. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he would be great if he opened the phone up
Speaker 2: and it was like still on his fans.
Speaker 1: Page or the big phone.
Speaker 2: My dad would kill for the phone. The size of
Speaker 2: that phone.
Speaker 1: I would love it.
Speaker 2: It's bizarre, right.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I so they so they win a match, was
Speaker 1: this the finals and then they're like, hey, this is
Speaker 1: how much you win?
Speaker 2: So in lieu of the big check. You remember the
Speaker 2: big check celebratory there's all the money again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bring back the check, guys.
Speaker 2: Big check is awesome.
Speaker 1: Big check is normal, big phone, big phone transfer.
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?
Speaker 1: Just payWave.
Speaker 2: Someone at that tournament was so proud of their big phone,
Speaker 2: you know, they're like, we're gonna get the big phone out.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do an electronic funds transfer on court. Everyone's
Speaker 2: gonna see it. Yeah, and the guy's just standing. The
Speaker 2: player who wins the money is just like yep, cool,
Speaker 2: just nodding okay, and he doesn't even he should check
Speaker 2: his phone to make sure it went through.
Speaker 1: It feels too real, yeah, like not special enough.
Speaker 2: And then like do you have to put a description
Speaker 2: into the you know, subject line of the transfer, you know,
Speaker 2: like four tennis win, yeah, yeah? Or does he mess
Speaker 2: with him like when my friends owe me money and
Speaker 2: then they're like they transfer it. And then the subject
Speaker 2: lines has like four butt plugs or something that's funny.
Speaker 1: You boys you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So Jess bizarre. We've been in trouble for
Speaker 2: this before. The pickleball Andy Murray News and it's just
Speaker 2: an interview with Murray. I couldn't find a clip of it,
Speaker 2: but it's him just saying, yeah, pickleball is like just
Speaker 2: kind of easy, and it's it's annoying to listen to it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't like the sound, he says, it's too loud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if we get Murray in here, we got
Speaker 2: to ask him about it because we had Tommy Haas
Speaker 2: and one of our most viral clips still getting.
Speaker 1: Hits, still getting comments most days on how the tennis
Speaker 1: is better, pickleball is better, and come fight me. Basically,
Speaker 1: I love the very animated.
Speaker 2: It is very animated, and the comments section is, like
Speaker 2: you said, it's all pickleball is a real sport. Take
Speaker 2: us seriously. It's the pickleball players getting very hurt. Yeah
Speaker 2: they are, and the tennis players are all like loll.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, guys whatever. You guys, just keep trying out there.
Speaker 1: It's good that you're moving.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Murray, I would love to ask him about
Speaker 2: it in person, but it's yeah, he's basically I don't
Speaker 2: think he's being that I don't know, controversial.
Speaker 1: He just he's a ex professional tennis player saying no,
Speaker 1: this plastic baton ball is a little bit inferior, a.
Speaker 2: Little bit, and he's made millions playing tennis. Where what
Speaker 2: is the best pickleball player as the world.
Speaker 1: Let's check the pun they're.
Speaker 2: Probably a hundred air. But again we have to catch
Speaker 2: it in terms that we play pickle ball. We enjoy it,
Speaker 2: we love it.
Speaker 1: It's actually it.
Speaker 2: Can be a lot of fun. Yes, yeah, so we
Speaker 2: will just keep track. Obviously, the five hundred event in
Speaker 2: DC happening right now, and then we got the one thousands.
Speaker 2: We have Montreal and Cincinnati. He's both men's and women's
Speaker 2: and I am.
Speaker 1: Pumped, exciting, and then the US Yes, end of August.
Speaker 2: End of August, first week is September. I'm still tossing
Speaker 2: up whether to go.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should have gone there after Edinburgh?
Speaker 2: Where are you going?
Speaker 1: Grease? Okay, pretty good still, but I should have gone
Speaker 1: to New York.
Speaker 2: Well, if you go to Greece, it's not far to Betha.
Speaker 1: Oh, I could hang out with cala Alcay.
Speaker 2: Party it up, Champagna.
Speaker 1: Hey, this old lady wants to hang out with you.
Speaker 1: She's wearing an Australian open vest. All right? Now is
Speaker 1: the term for everyone's favorite sor it's approaching the net?
Speaker 1: Did you know alex Iyla is the face of Milo.
Speaker 2: You'll have to explain Milt to someone who didn't grow
Speaker 2: up in Australia.
Speaker 1: What Milo Okay, Milo is this kind of chocolatey drink that's.
Speaker 2: Not really 's malt and it's a powder.
Speaker 1: It's a powder that you put it in. Looks like
Speaker 1: instant coffee, but it's instant sort of malt chocolate.
Speaker 2: Was this a part of your childhood?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, and there's all different ways to drink it.
Speaker 1: But it's an Australian thing, but it is huge in Asia,
Speaker 1: especially Southeast Asia. Like you can go out at night
Speaker 1: and get Milo towers. What is that like a beer
Speaker 1: tower but it's milk and mile Yeah, it's a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially in Malaysia because no one, like it's a Muslim country,
Speaker 1: not many people drinking. Yeah, so yeah, I hit up
Speaker 1: the mile of tower with your spicy noodles, take your
Speaker 1: lactose tolerant friends and their faces.
Speaker 2: Is it just chocolate milk?
Speaker 1: It is like in Asia, they definitely like it's way sweeter.
Speaker 1: They really like Parle in the Milot, whereas I feel
Speaker 1: like here we're a bit more subdued with the Milo.
Speaker 1: You either just put the cold milk in Milo on
Speaker 1: top or the Milo on the bottom, or hot Milo sometimes,
Speaker 1: but over there it's like massive, So for her to
Speaker 1: be the face of Milo is like a pretty big right.
Speaker 2: Well, see in America we had Nestle quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is a little it's quick adjacent.
Speaker 2: Okay, but there's so sugary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Milo is maybe a step back
Speaker 1: from from the nest like quick. Right.
Speaker 2: It's also though, like she's an elite athlete, a sports star.
Speaker 2: Are you going to be chugging Milo and then like
Speaker 2: going out to play tennis and forty degree? Like is
Speaker 2: it makes sense as well?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I get that, you all do it. Okay, they're
Speaker 1: all drinking Milo over there some like really hot humid
Speaker 1: countries and they're chugging Milo and then just going about
Speaker 1: their day.
Speaker 2: God, I don't know if I've had even milk since
Speaker 2: I was a kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't drink it, No, Yeah, just coffee. I'm
Speaker 1: on the soys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so okay, so that's obviously huge. If it's huge
Speaker 2: in the Philippines, then she it's a huge campaign for her,
Speaker 2: And I just can't I can't imagine, yeah, Milo just
Speaker 2: putting it.
Speaker 1: In my putting it in your milk.
Speaker 2: My water bottle.
Speaker 1: Do you want to have a look at it? Do
Speaker 1: you want to look at the ad?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, this is my.
Speaker 6: Story, all right, So it's her and another I imagine Filipino
Speaker 6: track star.
Speaker 2: Yeah, full volt star, and they are fueled by Marlow.
Speaker 4: In this.
Speaker 2: Milo can make a slam dunk even if.
Speaker 1: If you do anything, I'm motivated.
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is Milo being repositioned as like a gatorade,
Speaker 2: as a like a sports drink.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your Milo story?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna you said it's a powder. I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: start racking up lines of exactly and then I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna go play sport and probably ship my pack.
Speaker 1: Mike's Milo story.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that ad positions Milo drinkers is slam dunking
Speaker 2: and kicking goals and like winning all sorts of events.
Speaker 1: CUTI cupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if it's huge over there, why not massive?
Speaker 1: But again gross, gross, Mike's not into.
Speaker 2: What else you got?
Speaker 1: So Saudi player, I'm a Alog bondie. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm getting that right. It vomits on court. Did
Speaker 1: you see this?
Speaker 2: This was a Davis Cup match?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean for anyone who doesn't like to see vomit,
Speaker 2: there is a lot.
Speaker 1: Is so much fun. I mean, I don't know how
Speaker 1: he vomited at the end of.
Speaker 2: The game match point. Yeah, he vomits serving for the match,
Speaker 2: and it's like all over the court.
Speaker 1: It's probably like one and a half meters in diameter.
Speaker 2: It looks like he just chugged the Milo before he did.
Speaker 1: This is his Milo story. And then they stopped play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then it rains, and then seven hours later they
Speaker 1: play match point again and he wins, and he wins.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: That is an awesome Milo story.
Speaker 1: It's a great.
Speaker 2: It's like, it is wild how much he bars it.
Speaker 1: Is I have never like what this is match point?
Speaker 1: How did he have the much liquid?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did he just chug a whole bottle of water or
Speaker 1: something must be.
Speaker 2: But then like lucky there was a monsoon to just
Speaker 2: clean the courts for them discuss like some poor ball
Speaker 2: boy didn't have to go scrub it off. But then
Speaker 2: I mean, on match point is crazy, yeah, because had
Speaker 2: the monsoon not hit, he would have might have just
Speaker 2: defaulted the match, right like the other players like.
Speaker 1: Well this guy he can't play, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's fine to win. And then seven hours later, I
Speaker 2: mean that's like I guess enough time, yeah, to be
Speaker 2: obviously recuperated. And then came back and won it. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would rather snort lines of milet What would happen
Speaker 2: if you snorted a line of Milo? It would coagulate
Speaker 2: and you're yeah.
Speaker 1: I think your nose. I think it would be really uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Then you just have to nasal douche milk. That's what
Speaker 1: you're doing.
Speaker 2: Nasal douche was my nickname in high school. Uh, there's
Speaker 2: probably a jar Milo in the kitchen here at Tennis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there'd be Milo in most office buildings.
Speaker 2: Should we rock paper scissors and the loser has the
Speaker 2: snort of line of Milo for the pod? Sure you
Speaker 2: want to do it?
Speaker 1: Fridges in.
Speaker 2: Fridges in well that we have to see if we
Speaker 2: can source the Milo first. It'll probably ruin our day.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the next sponsor of this part.
Speaker 1: We're going to go from what was our champagne.
Speaker 2: Paper Hideo, Yes, piper hide was our slogan. Was slipping
Speaker 2: up you dumb ships, and then Milo will be like,
Speaker 2: scoop it up, scoop it up.
Speaker 1: Jiggle, jiggle, I don't know, and we could get everyone's
Speaker 1: milost story. It's been beautiful, that's true. Just an idea.
Speaker 1: Hang it out there in the world. Gay Maretini is
Speaker 1: also having a hot boy summer. Potato Potato Ati having
Speaker 1: a very hot boy summer. He was spotted in Abitha.

Speaker 1: there's nice parts of the island. It's a bit like
Speaker 1: the Gold Coast almost, like there are nice parts of
Speaker 1: it now, but then there's also like.
Speaker 2: The trashy you'd be walking around telling like twenty year

Speaker 2: Hugo Boss, another big Italian honk. So yeah, so you
Speaker 2: are a big scoop from Lizzie who that you're saying
Speaker 2: Potato Chini and Peggy you are an item? Maybe maybe
Speaker 2: maybe pure speculation.
Speaker 1: Speculation she does love a tennis player. Yeah, oh that
Speaker 1: was approaching the net. We do have an email from
Speaker 1: our quizy who this.
Speaker 2: Is our favorite, our loyal favorite, a loyal fan.

Speaker 1: a lot of else this time.
Speaker 2: Because there's a prize pack with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a price.
Speaker 2: You get a bunch of AO merch that Lizzie's wearing
Speaker 2: right now, and that, as we establish, is some of
Speaker 2: the comfiest gear going around.
Speaker 1: I haven't taken it off since.
Speaker 2: Have you been living in it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's winter here in Melbourne's.
Speaker 1: Free and this stuff is really nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The pants are a fantastic Yeah, but you've been
Speaker 2: wearing them.
Speaker 1: And what I do is I go to bed in
Speaker 1: them and then I go straight to dog walk, so
Speaker 1: we don't have to change pants.
Speaker 2: Are you depressed?
Speaker 1: Lizz I live alone, can do what I want. Nobody knows,
Speaker 1: and then I tell everyone about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the Quzzy who question from last week, I know,
Speaker 2: was about Bernie Tomic. It was like, what was the
Speaker 2: last Challenger event that he won? Pretty difficult? Yeah, and
Speaker 2: a rash.
Speaker 1: He got it?
Speaker 2: He got it?
Speaker 1: Did he? I don't know? He said? The answer is
Speaker 1: Lincoln Lincoln.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted Lincoln Nebraska. So he went, Okay, I
Speaker 2: see what he's done there. Oh, he's got us on
Speaker 2: technicality because of what I wanted the last one before
Speaker 2: Lincoln Nebraska and a Tommage update. Okay, so does the
Speaker 2: Rash still get the gear.
Speaker 1: I don't know about this. I think we'll have to
Speaker 1: take it to the tribunal.
Speaker 2: Do we give it to Fridge?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give it to the fridge.
Speaker 2: Fridge doesn't want it, Fridge. Yeah, we got to give
Speaker 2: it to because the last what he won was in Nebraska,
Speaker 2: but I wanted the last one before that, which, to
Speaker 2: be honest, I don't even know the answer to. Oh, okay,
Speaker 2: don't get the merch, but a Rash does. We have
Speaker 2: a clip from him as well though.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, we've got a him doing a Bernardtomic impersonation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, mate, Bernard here.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I wasn't actually planning on answering this one me nicely. Look,
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he's Lincoln wanted just a few days ago,
Speaker 4: unless I've already forgotten. Honestly, if you mean the Challenger
Speaker 4: before that, you're asking the wrong guy. I don't exactly
Speaker 4: keep a scrap book of Challenger titles. Come on, I
Speaker 4: just show up, play some tennis. Sometimes I win, sometimes
Speaker 4: I don't. People make a big deal about it. It
Speaker 4: is what it is, mate. And one small correction from
