0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I can bring this up. A

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>tennis guy did like my profile and I looked him up.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>He's sixty years old.

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh and a coach. Basically, what I'm hearing is you're

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>getting hit on by Todd Woodbridge.

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.080

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did he send you a message or it's

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>just all.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Like they like you, you have to like them back

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 2>and then you can start talking right right, right, and.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>For anyone who doesn't know, Riya is the tender for

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>people who think they're better than.

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>You, Yeah, pretty much. You have to be invited on.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think overseas it's quite cool. He Actually there's

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 2>like really good people on there. But in Australia, so

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>good commercial real estate ages all right, Yeah, footy players

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>it's not great.

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Players might be all right, yeah, but a commercial real

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>estate agent, yeah it's so good.

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 2>But but yeah, when the tennis comes through, usually there's

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>a few tennis players.

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>All right. So I think that the main objective is

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>with your Riyah account or the Australian Open, is you

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>get a date with the tennis player.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hopefully, and then you know, film it.

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And then we're going to film it everything and I'm

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be the chaperone.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:44.920

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I get to hit a tennis ball. Yeah, and vice versa.

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Deal are right? In today's headline calls a bunch of

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>things to talk about Lizzie Uh. As we mentioned before,

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>there was the sable Anca celebration kissing the Yeah I

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 1>like it. Yeah, yeah, she's got out of cheat. No.

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And but she she it was done because a

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>player said that she had too much testoster.

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh is that why?

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Okay, that's what they're assuming, right, But then they

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 2>asked her about it and she said, no, I just

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>was strong in that game pretty much.

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've been told I have too much estrogen.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:52.480

<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I mean it is a pretty cool celebration. I

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>think only she could pull it off. I think if

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>anything male player did it, you'd be like, what a

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.160

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like my players celebrate like male footballer is

<v Speaker 2>do that like the flex yeah all the time, and

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.240

<v Speaker 2>in my life won anything and wanted to do.

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>That, right, just like flex?

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 2>What what about? I don't see tennis players really doing it,

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:32.199
<v Speaker 2>but it'd be.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Cool to do the kissing the bicep thing and like

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.520

<v Speaker 1>And then I was talking to him on change of

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>ends and I was like, what's going on. He's like,

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm on this new ADHD medication and I'm like okay,

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.199
<v Speaker 1>and like you meant meant to take how many a day?

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.360

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>many have you taken? He's like about eight. I don't

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>care if this is out there. There's just this gray

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>blur on the other side of the course, just running.

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't get it past him. And now, like, because

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>when I beat him, he's messaging me. The next day

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>we got to play. We gotta play. And now that

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>he's beaten me and my message like we got to

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 1>play again? No response? What radio silence?

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you think he's playing someone else?

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>No? I think he wants to maintain his Oh that's it.

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 2>He wants to go out on a high. Yeah, he's

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 2>run out of prescription.

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's run out of his meds. He's going to

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>have to take ten next time, and then it'll be

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>my problem when his heart explodes.

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're got to that quote.

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh fucking can you do? Hughsy, wonderful crowd.

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Of my line, this is the best of her hat.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 1>You're going into hubee.

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know. Have a Eusy impersonation.

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I feel like every comedian does.

<v Speaker 1>That's a good character, hughesy her catch.

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's a combination of this frail.

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Dave Hughes You're wonderful crowd.

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>That's incredible about Okay? All right?

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Looking ahead to the Australian Open Tournament. It's going to

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>be a big one. I think it's going to be

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the best ever and.

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm on ever in general?

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Is that because we're here, Yeah, we're a part of it.

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>People are talking about US.

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh so many?

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Who are why are they here?

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 1>What are they doing?

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Do they know anything about tennis?

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>No? But I I do think the Australian Open, and

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>this is my unbiased opinion. I think it's the best

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of the Slams.

0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 5>Really.

0:13:58.480 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Have you been to all of this?

0:13:59.920 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 1>The US A bunch and I've been to Wimbledon. Yeah,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>I just haven't been to the.

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>French okay, yes, particular reason.

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I would look bad in a Panama head.

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that head. It's not fitting much.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Is this going to be a running gag of a

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 1>huge head? Maybe that's fine? Sorry, no, no, that's fair. Yeah.

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 2>There's record prize money this.

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Year singles champs collect four point one five million each.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty good.

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so what would you do with four point one million?

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Still quit? Yeah?

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Still quit quit? Yeah, I'm quitning.

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>It's good to know you have that Asian work ethic.

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I am half what so it kicks in every now

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 2>and then. But yeah, I think i'd quit go on

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 2>a holiday. Oh yeah, I'd go and see all the Slams.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean Australian Open. It said they're going to send

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>us to all the Slams. Yeah, I did hear. That

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>is that right, Shannon.

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.280

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean I'll go. I'll do it for whatever.

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>If I have to oil up Bernie, I'd love to

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>say that. So yeah, I've been a very enthusiastic punter

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>at previous events. You get angry, vocal, well, yelling stuff

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>out at a tennis match. It's prime for getting a

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>big laugh.

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh and we love big love.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I love big laughs, we do. But it's also a

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 1>prime for bombing in front of more people than Yeah,

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>you've ever bombed in front of Okay, But I used

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>to one of my very good friends, Paul Hancock, who

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 1>lives in Sydney's an absolute tennis freak and we would

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>go every year to the Australian Open and yell stuff out,

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 1>try to get a laugh. And we were in rod

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Labor in a first round match. Nadal was playing somebody

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and absolutely killing him. It was like six to oho,

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>six to oh four zero and uh he yelled out,

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:09.480
<v Speaker 1>hanging their rafa and it killed right, like huge laugh.

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Whatever capacity is Rod Labor, you know, and uh and

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 1>then he nudges me and he was like, you'll never

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>get a laugh from that many people at once. Yeah,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>brutal right, and I was like, all right, yeah, yeah,

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty good, pretty good. And then we were watching a

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>match on one of the outside courts. Gael mon Fees

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>play Doggopolov. His first name Alexander. He was playing Alexander Dogoppolov,

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and uh, who people used to call Doggie? Right, there's

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the dog dog Appolof. And so I told my my friend.

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you should yell out I love your

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>doggy style. And he did and it did not go

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>well at all, I know, but oh I relished. People

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:03.480
<v Speaker 1>were looking like, ugh, is this guy tasteless? So still

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>about once or twice a year I'll message my buddy

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and say, I love your doggy style.

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any crowd etiquette rules?

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Look, I think we should start letting people in, even

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>when it's not change events. Right. Oh, we're treating the

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>players a little too preciously. Let people walk in.

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 2>But people are so distracting.

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I mean, why do we have to act

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>like you're so special as a tennis player?

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? True, any other sport. Like you see a golf

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 2>with tea off and there's like a thousand cameras in

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>their face and everyone's whispering and talking.

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Exactly and the golf gets rowdy.

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Now it does, yeah, Rory's wife.

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, I think I've seen a few things

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>happen in a crowd that maybe beyond the pale one.

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 1>I was at a at the Hopman Cup in Perth

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 1>with my old man, uh and Goldstein, doctor Goldstein.

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, yeah, thank you again, doctor Goldstein.

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:14.640
<v Speaker 1>He uh sees American, right, And so he was unfamiliar

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 1>with the ketchup packets.

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh that stumps everyone.

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Do you know the twisty ones where it's like the

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 1>little packet and couple squeeze. Yeah, yeah, so you squeeze

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>so it comes out. But he thought it was twisty, right,

0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 1>and so he went to twist the ketchup packet tomato sauce. Sorry,

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not ausy, but I am, oh the tomato sauce.

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And so instead of squeezing, he twisted and the ketchup

0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>sprayed all over the shirt, the white T shirt of

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a like ten year old kid sitting in front of us.

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely doused the shirt and the kid unknowing well, it

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>took a minute for it to seep in far enough

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.959
<v Speaker 1>for him to feel it. Okay, And before that happened,

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 1>because we were sitting pretty far up and there was

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a crowd of people obviously behind us. Everyone was losing

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.159
<v Speaker 1>it left because everyone saw this happen. It was a

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:25.040
<v Speaker 1>boring match, and they this was like the highlight of forever. Yeah,

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 1>but then the kid felt it seep in and he

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>starts like kind of grabbing and.

0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 2>So so you didn't tell him straight away.

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I was taking pictures. I'll send the picture through to

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>our producer. We'll get it up right. And then but

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>my dad, you know, being a good man, he went

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and bought the kid a new Roger Federer T shirt.

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>What. Yeah, that's a win.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 1>That's a win.

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 2>What do you what do you think of the person

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.320
<v Speaker 2>in the crowd that wants to clap last?

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>You know that person? No, like you know, you know

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 2>when they and it's like there's one person they just

0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 2>try and be the.

0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Is there a last clapper?

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Is that a thing? Or is that just me?

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Ace?

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, one of our guys, he's the last clapper.

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 1>We didn't ask who has the clap?

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>A man?

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>So have you been a guilty of being the last clapper? No?

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I hate those people.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Australians in every country besides the US, has good chance.

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 2>At the tennis what Oh, sorry, Australians don't have good

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 2>you do? We do not, you don't think so we

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 2>are a chanceless nation. We have the most terrible chance.

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 2>That's fine, No, it's enough if I we cannot be

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.239
<v Speaker 2>doing anymore. Oh right, so what's your I don't have

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:57.439
<v Speaker 2>any I have absolutely no alternatives. But we've got to

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:58.400
<v Speaker 2>do something better than.

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's a challenge. Okay, for the next part, we'll

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>think of new chance. We will because the US is

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 1>just USA.

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:11.120
<v Speaker 2>But that sounds so cool, cool, yeah, non American. When

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:15.080
<v Speaker 2>you hear a cropping, look you that's like what what

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 2>you watched as a kid on the movie?

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because well, I've only seen people be very annoyed

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 1>when I chant USA, like when I pick up my

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.239
<v Speaker 1>coffee and then kiss my biceps.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Wrong time. You know what else? I don't like the

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 2>chat where they're like, let's go, whoever, let's go. I'm like, oh,

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 2>really nice, We've got to be better.

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>That's like straight from primary school.

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go, Lizzy, let's go.

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 2>It's an uninspiring chance. If I was playing tennis and

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.880
<v Speaker 2>someone did that to me, I'd be like bess Off.

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I think I get really angry.

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, all right, welcome back to pod Labor Arena.

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>We have our first ever interviews. Eliza West is here.

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>It's so good to have you here. Would you call

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>it yourself a tennis influencer.

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 4>I feel like influences a dirty word it is, but

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 4>I'll go with content creator.

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, cleaner, I respect you.

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.120
<v Speaker 2>You do a lot of stuff with tennis fashion, yes,

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 2>reviewing it.

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.359
<v Speaker 4>I have always been into tennis fashion, but I try

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 4>to bring people into tennis through my love of on

0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 4>court fashion, and I think that's been very culturally relevant

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 4>over the last few years with the rise of Athlesia

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 4>where and tennis becoming culturally relevant in the movies and

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 4>our TV shows, and people loving tennis fashion as lifestyle.

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.200
<v Speaker 4>So I've kind of been able to ride the wave

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 4>with it being trendy.

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 5>At the moment.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Did you like the movie Challengers The Outfit?

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:11.199
<v Speaker 4>It was a funny watch. I thought the way they

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 4>filmed it was really entertaining. I didn't really love the ending.

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Though, No, I don't think anybody did.

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everyone laughing when they jumped over the net. Yeah spoilers, Yeah.

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 5>You haven't seen it by now, then that's your fault exactly.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it was, you know, stylishly directed and you know,

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.879
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch. It's hard not to judge the tennis

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 1>in it.

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 4>It is, and I feel like people who are tennis

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 4>fans and play tennis, we are extremely judgmental of tennis movies.

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 4>I think to the average eye, it probably did look

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 4>really good and was much better than other tennis movies.

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 4>But I know, for example, even the poster of Zendea

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 4>serving got trolled a lot on tennis Twitter, So it

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:55.919
<v Speaker 4>kind of depends on who you ask. But for the

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 4>tennis purists, I think they could have done a better

0:23:58.000 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 4>job Zendaya's grip.

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>The pancakes us so good to have you in here.

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>We had a recent fashion f PA. Well, first of all,

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 1>we should get you to rate.

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, what do you think of my my outfit?

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:17.119
<v Speaker 5>No, I genuinely told you I liked it this morning.

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 4>I actually took a picture of that outfit at the

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:20.880
<v Speaker 4>Much store yesterday.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 5>I was going to post it as Liza Approved.

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 2>So you have made my day?

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Have I Liza Approved? I'm in track pants and a T.

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 5>Shirt and the official dress up A bit.

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 1>More yeah, what would you do?

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:39.440
<v Speaker 5>I think we could add some colors. I think we

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:40.440
<v Speaker 5>go with a hat.

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a better looking guy.

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:45.720
<v Speaker 5>Let's have nothing to do with.

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my, that's good.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 2>So who do you who is your best dressed player

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>or who do you think your top this tournament, or

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>just general, who's the most stylish?

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think in kind of ten history, the

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:06.120
<v Speaker 4>conversations usually always revolve around Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams,

0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 4>and I think they were lucky in that era of

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 4>Nike really wanting to push the boat out, giving them

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 4>their own collections, designing specifically for them and their taste,

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 4>and those dresses have been iconic ever since they came out,

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:21.919
<v Speaker 4>and I think a lot of tennis fans wish that

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 4>Nike would bring those lines back.

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 5>But I also really like kind of going.

0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Back into tennis fashion history and looking at a lot

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:31.239
<v Speaker 4>of the women who've kind of paved the way, like

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 4>CHRISI Ever with a lot of her outfits and styles,

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.719
<v Speaker 4>and then looking back at what Adidas used to do

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 4>with Steffi Graff. So I think in general, modern tennis

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 4>fashion kind of twenty eighteen onwards has been disappointing for

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 4>the fashion purists. But I'm hoping that the tide is

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:52.080
<v Speaker 4>starting to change and we're seeing new brands enter in

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 4>and I think people are seeing that there's an opportunity

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.640
<v Speaker 4>to kind of take on the giants while they're sleeping

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 4>and get get things moving with kind of new styles

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:02.760
<v Speaker 4>and new looks.

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Right, Because I've come across the free content before where

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you're writing people's outfits for whatever slam is taking place.

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Has anyone ever complained or been reached out and said, hey,

0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe don't trash our gear or our new look.

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 5>Yes, it's happened on multiple occasions.

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 4>I think I sent your X into a tailspin two

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.640
<v Speaker 4>years ago with AO when I said their dress looked

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 4>like an air freshener, and I think they had a

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 4>whole board meeting about what an air freshman was.

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 4>In Japan, they weren't quite sure what I was talking about,

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 4>and I think I caused a bit of a headache there.

0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.280
<v Speaker 4>I know some players hate to see me coming, but

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 4>my answer is always, you know, I'm trying to push

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 4>you to be better, trying to push the brands to

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 4>kind of, you know, consider different styles and really consider

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 4>how things look on TV. Because I think A lot

0:26:57.800 --> 0:26:59.960
<v Speaker 4>of what's designed is maybe they're looking at, you know,

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 4>the colors of the court and how something looks in person,

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 4>but a lot of the time that doesn't translate to

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 4>digital and how we're looking on it on TV.

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 5>So I really want the.

0:27:08.960 --> 0:27:11.119
<v Speaker 4>Players to be able to use it as AMMO with

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:14.400
<v Speaker 4>their brands and be like, look, this person's trashing my outfit.

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 5>And you have to do better.

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to help.

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, in my own way, Tennis.

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 2>True, Frank Rose, we need to get here.

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 1>There was a recent fashion for We discussed it on

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.600
<v Speaker 1>yesterday's podcast. I think we have it here if we

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>queue up, it's a I think you've seen this already

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>seen this?

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:38.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh yes, it hurts, hurts straight up.

0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:43.919
<v Speaker 1>What type of person do you think could pull that

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.640
<v Speaker 1>outfit off? If not stuff on us, it's pers.

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 5>Maybe Snoop Dogg.

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh yeah, I see Snoop Dogg.

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's you know, he's a tracksuit kind of guy.

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 4>He would rock that at the Olympics.

0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:58.040
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, Lizzie suggested that he stole it

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:01.240
<v Speaker 1>off like sixty year old Miami grandma.

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, I.

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Wouldn't be surprised given how Stephane Rolls.

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:06.400
<v Speaker 2>They had a light night.

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's got the he's got the knee cock out.

0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Can you say that?

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't think.

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:24.400
<v Speaker 2>His knee that's a real one. It's a little knee flap. Yeah,

0:28:24.440 --> 0:28:25.439
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm trying to get it.

0:28:25.480 --> 0:28:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It might be comfortable. He probably traveled

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 1>long haul and then, but still that's a flex of

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>an outfit.

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 5>It's unnecessary. Yeah, especially for a travel outfit.

0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:38.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, if this was maybe Halloween time, it would

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 4>be the right choice.

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 1>This says to me. His dad isn't bullying him enough.

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he has bad friends. Yes, no one said you

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>cannot maybe don't do this outfit.

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously we looked up some of the fashion

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>pho pause from yesteryear, the big one that usually comes

0:28:58.320 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 1>up as Augusty and George.

0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, I couldn't play in denim.

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 5>You know people are calling for that to come back. Really, Yeah,

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:08.440
<v Speaker 5>that's really How do.

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:10.800
<v Speaker 2>You feel about mat No?

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 4>I didn't mind it when Serena Williams did the Denham skirt.

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was kind of cool. I think we

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 4>could see a modern innovation of Denham, right, Yeah, that

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 4>look was so iconic.

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get that up on the screen for anyone watching,

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's she's denim skirt and then long socks. Yeah,

0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and it just looks tough.

0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:34.480
<v Speaker 4>It does look tough, but she can put it off.

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 4>I think the problem with the jawts is that short shorts,

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, went so out of style and you can't

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 4>possibly think of doing like a longer jean short. But

0:29:43.360 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 4>now short shorts are kind of coming back, So maybe

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:50.360
<v Speaker 4>a whole garuna or a Mahuchwood rocket jean short.

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>He loves his tiny little shorts, he does. He's got

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the quads for it, he does. I mean, do you

0:29:57.960 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 1>think so?

0:29:58.600 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I ever play professionally.

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Today, I'm going to.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Go as chaps up.

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure the fans will love it.

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Eliza, what did you think of Grigor Dimitrov's outfit from

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty Australian Open.

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Paul Gregor, I think I posted a meme about

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of while ago. That was definitely a mess,

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.720
<v Speaker 4>and I'm glad he's since moved on with Lacoste and

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 4>they have done a great job with both his.

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 5>On court and off court style.

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that's what's special about Lacoste is that they're

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.560
<v Speaker 4>the only brand that does runway and on court looks,

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 4>and so the players that they've picked can kind of

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 4>do both in terms of the styling, which I think

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 4>is special not just for the lacost brand, but also yeah,

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 4>for the legacy of kind of tennis fashion history that

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 4>that continues with both the runway looks and on court looks.

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, correct? What more outfit to ask you about?

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 1>And I was unaware with this one, even though I

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>watched a ton of tennis. The Venus Williams Lingerie outfit.

0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 5>You know, Venus is another one of those personalities that

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 5>I think she can kind of.

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Get away with whatever it is that she decides to

0:31:17.600 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 4>wear on court, even if it does not look the

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.400
<v Speaker 4>best for the rest of us. I just love that

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Venus always wanted to express her own identity through fashion,

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:30.959
<v Speaker 4>and that she left big brands early on and started

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 4>her own lines while she was still very much an

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 4>active player. And I hope to see more players either

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:39.880
<v Speaker 4>get their own lines with a bigger brand or start

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 4>their own clothing companies, because I think tennis is such

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 4>an expression of your own personality, the way you play tennis,

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 4>the way you are competing, and that should also be

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 4>reflected in kind of how you look and how the

0:31:53.960 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 4>costume that you're wearing. So I think if she, you know,

0:31:57.440 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 4>felt excited and comfortable with it, go for it. In

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 4>terms of like Liza approved, I wouldn't put that on.

0:32:03.280 --> 0:32:08.800
<v Speaker 1>My well, I got suggesting that all the women should

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>wear laundering.

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh one more, what about the new Osaka Ao fit?

0:32:18.040 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen the rumored one I have?

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm not I'm not opposed to the color away. I

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 4>am opposed to the dangling roughly parts.

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:28.480
<v Speaker 2>You know what it's telling me?

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 5>Great barrier reef and that's like kind of makes sense.

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:37.600
<v Speaker 2>And like jellyfish sort of thing going on. The colors.

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind it.

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's for me.

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 4>It's better than what we saw at US Open, So

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:49.959
<v Speaker 4>I'll take it. That was two years ago. The outfit

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 4>at the US Open this year was kind of the poofy,

0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 4>almost jellyfish like sky. It just didn't look comfortable to

0:32:56.600 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 4>play in. But again, she's another one of those plays

0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 4>is that she's reflecting her culture. She's reflecting her interest

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 4>in things like anime and stuff that she likes off

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 4>the court, so I respect that she's always putting a

0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:11.720
<v Speaker 4>lot of thought and effort into what she's wearing. And

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 4>even if it's not my cup of tea, I like

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.719
<v Speaker 4>that she gets the conversation going on fashion and tennis,

0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 4>and I'm all for bringing people into the world of

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 4>tennis through any means possible, And if they like watching

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 4>her because of her outfits, then I'm happy with that.

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Great You're here on behalf of the Serve podcast, I

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>am with Andy Roddick. Yes, Andy always wore a backwards

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>hat a lot of the times, especially when playing. He

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 1>still will rock it from time to time. Yeap, is

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>there an age where a man can no longer wear

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>a backwards hat?

0:33:44.600 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 4>One of my most popular series on Instagram was how

0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:50.719
<v Speaker 4>to Dress Like a Hot Man in Tennis, and one

0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 4>of my rules about backwards hats is you just have

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 4>to be a really good tennis player to be able

0:33:55.720 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 4>to do it. Count Andy kind of has that, and

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 4>he's not allowed to wear Advisor ever again. Okay, I

0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 4>hate I hate many advisors.

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:08.879
<v Speaker 5>I'm really sorry. It's just like never.

0:34:09.120 --> 0:34:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes, do you think capri pants should come back?

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:11.920

<v Speaker 1>on me, but
