Speaker 1: Want to check check we're back. We're down in the
Speaker 1: middle of the French bonjour, Michelle, Come.
Speaker 2: On, Elizabeth, is that friend?
Speaker 1: Well, jem Tennie, I do love I love tennis and
Speaker 1: I love the French Open. And it's in full swing.
Speaker 1: We should say that round two. Half of round two
Speaker 1: has been completed as we record, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: to catch up on. I'm in America over zoom and
Speaker 1: it's not ideal, but we're going to make it work.
Speaker 2: We're gonna make it work. This is how everyone does it.
Speaker 2: I'm in Melbourne. I'm at Melbourne Park where the AO is,
Speaker 2: and it is miserable outside. It is the Melbourne Park.
Speaker 2: They do not want you to see. It's actually yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm currently in thirty degree Kansas City heat beautiful,
Speaker 1: so I'm just wearing a thong like bikini.
Speaker 2: T shut up the top, thong down the butt. Please
Speaker 2: do not stand up, Mike, show me.
Speaker 1: Perfect tennis stuff. Way.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how much I missed a Grand Slim.
Speaker 1: It's the best.
Speaker 2: It's so exciting.
Speaker 1: The French Open. Can we get some like French Open
Speaker 1: music under that? Some I don't know what is what's
Speaker 1: French music? Sound like.
Speaker 2: Paris jazz. Yeah, let's get some Parish jazz underneath this.
Speaker 1: The French Open is underway Roland Garrison. Unfortunately, the Great
Speaker 1: French Hope Arthur fees out with an injury before the
Speaker 1: tournament even began. There's been plenty of French players still
Speaker 1: in the mix. A lot of them are getting knocked
Speaker 1: out in early rounds. Arthur Gia had an incident on court. Well,
Speaker 1: I think he successfully made it off the court.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've all I've never related so hard to
Speaker 2: a tennis player in my life. We've all been there.
Speaker 2: If you haven't, you have not lived like I think.
Speaker 2: It's not really it's yeah, it's not ideal when it's
Speaker 2: not a change of ends to see your opponent go
Speaker 2: off court for that length of time. But when you
Speaker 2: gotta go, you gotta go.
Speaker 1: I mean the ausiest Adam Alton, him.
Speaker 2: Beating it was the weirdest game to watch. One six
Speaker 2: six six classic.
Speaker 1: Never of meltdown. He was up a break in with
Speaker 1: the Spider Adam Alton. I think he's ranked in the nineties.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that, but the biggest win
Speaker 1: of his career. Yeah, amazing, that's huge. And then Kimberly
Speaker 1: Barrell beating.
Speaker 2: Jess Pagole your faith.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do love pol and I thought she. I mean,
Speaker 1: she gets into the second week of almost every Grand
Speaker 1: Slam she plays, So this was a great solid player,
Speaker 1: huge up set.
Speaker 2: Massive upset, but good for her and Kochi Nakas as well.
Speaker 2: Five setter.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, today he retired in the third set
Speaker 1: of his second round match against Pablo Corno Busta. It's
Speaker 1: that peck, He's got that dead man's ligament and it's
Speaker 1: just hold. But we already have an Aussie through to
Speaker 1: the third round because even our second round walkover blocks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who rolled his ankle in practice, which is going to
Speaker 1: be the worst way to get knocked out of a tournament.
Speaker 2: Okay, so news just in. Apparently there was a cover
Speaker 2: on the court and that's why he rolled his ankle,
Speaker 2: and now they're going to try and sue.
Speaker 1: What I mean, what like a rain cover? Is he
Speaker 1: playing on a tarp?
Speaker 3: For our audio listeners. Showing on screen now is a
Speaker 3: New York Times article with a headline that reads.
Speaker 2: Alexander blocks his team consider compensation claim after French Open
Speaker 2: top accident.
Speaker 3: So, yes, Mike, it was a top.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we'll take it.
Speaker 2: Hopefully, we'll take it.
Speaker 1: We'll take the win, We'll take it.
Speaker 2: Demon goes through.
Speaker 1: He's through to the third round.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Daria Kazakino won her first round match. That was britt
Speaker 1: win front of the show. You know. Yeah, Unfortunately Duckworth
Speaker 1: went out today to Spanish sensation of Raphael Hodar Hoder.
Speaker 2: He's got a bit of hype.
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of hype, and he made it interesting. Duckworth, like,
Speaker 1: I think it was a He won a tie break
Speaker 1: in the second set and then pushed Hodar in the
Speaker 1: third and the fourth. But yes, changed Dockworth, that was
Speaker 1: a battle. Yeah, disappointed, really unfortunate times. Hodar out on top,
Speaker 1: and he's like a favorite to push to the you know,
Speaker 1: round of sixteen at least. So the draw is opening up,
Speaker 1: I mean, really crazy matches. Taylor Fritz out in the
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah to BASSI already gone gone. Is this
Speaker 1: because he's spending too much time at Renaissance fairs by himself?
Speaker 2: Maybe? Yeah, maybe he's just gone through a breakups. He
Speaker 2: might be going he might be just gaming too much,
Speaker 2: not practicing enough. Who knows what this guy's gone he's
Speaker 2: gone through some stuff.
Speaker 1: He is going through some stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, I really don't think my level was it
Speaker 2: was that bad, to be honest, I think the all
Speaker 2: things considered, I thought, actually I played al right.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just don't think he had the match
Speaker 1: fitness on clay. He played one tournament leading up to
Speaker 1: the French and he went out in the first round.
Speaker 1: And you know, Americans classically don't like clay as a
Speaker 1: surface in general. So yeah, he just didn't have his
Speaker 1: clay legs under him. And what was knocked out by
Speaker 1: a fellow American great college player Bassive already.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I haven't played a lot of matches. I'm
Speaker 2: a bit I'm a bit rusty. I still I said,
Speaker 2: I think I played, you know, I really think I
Speaker 2: played alright today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then some other matches. Well, what did you
Speaker 1: think of Osaka's fashion out statement for the French?
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I liked the playing dress that was revealed,
Speaker 2: the gold sparkly dress. Quite liked that. I think it
Speaker 2: matched well with the clay. The black dress coming out, Nah,
Speaker 2: I just felt hot watching her come out, not in
Speaker 2: a good way, in a sweaty way. It's like thirty
Speaker 2: five degrees and she's walking out in a black ball gown.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, at least make it a daytime dress.
Speaker 2: You have to have two options. I think she just
Speaker 2: sort of rolled the dice on that. If she had
Speaker 2: a night game, it would have been all right, but
Speaker 2: she needed a day a day game backup dress because
Speaker 2: that walking out. I was like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's not suitable.
Speaker 1: Would this intimidate you if your opponent showed up dressed
Speaker 1: like the Babba Duke.
Speaker 2: No, I think I'd just be like, what the hell
Speaker 2: is she doing? She got under there? I just feel
Speaker 2: like she's just sweaty. Again. Nobody thinks about what happens
Speaker 2: to the skirt once she takes it off. She just
Speaker 2: kind of like throws it on the chair. I like
Speaker 2: that she's having fun. I like that she's bringing a
Speaker 2: bit of personality. Yeah, you know, I'd love to see
Speaker 2: that in tennis. But as from a from a style
Speaker 2: and design perspective, I'm like, eh, you can do better.
Speaker 1: Regardless she's winning and she's through.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you want to win. That's that's the other thing.
Speaker 2: If you're walking out like that, you can't lose.
Speaker 1: You can't. I mean, surely, it's distracting to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I have to dress like I'm going to a medieval baptism.
Speaker 1: On an even more somber note than her dress. The
Speaker 1: legends that have already been bounced from the tournament.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gail mom Fees sad he's last French Open with Rinka.
Speaker 2: Yeah gone, but I guess with Rinka he'll be it.
Speaker 2: He'll be at Wimbledon though, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to retire in Basil so
Speaker 1: home tournament towards the end of the season. Mon Fees.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's made an announcement yet, but
Speaker 1: obviously he's the French favorite. He's been playing it for,
Speaker 1: you know, since he was winning the juniors there in
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. But which one like struck more
Speaker 1: of a chord with you once they got bounced, Like,
Speaker 1: which which one were you? Like? Ah? Damn, I wanted
Speaker 1: to watch I think Gail that player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because like I've seen a lot of his highlights
Speaker 2: reels pop up in my feed and then just I
Speaker 2: forgot how crazy athletic he was, like some of the
Speaker 2: shots he made. He's so fun, he's fun to watch.
Speaker 2: He's just a cool personality. I mean, so is Stan,
Speaker 2: but like Gail is just something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stan was. I mean, Stan has won it before,
Speaker 1: so you're like, ah, you've won it, You're fine, but still,
Speaker 1: you know, sad to see him go. It's funny how
Speaker 1: Maren chilliic like he got bounced as well, but people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, yeah, we don't care about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like a Grand Slam winner that thirty seven years old.
Speaker 2: Oh he got bounced by the seventeen year old.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm me. Yeah, And so there's a twenty
Speaker 1: year age difference, and it's just wild. Chilich was in
Speaker 1: the top twenty when Kwame was born. Yeah, it's wild
Speaker 1: to think about.
Speaker 2: Crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, what other sport do you get a twenty
Speaker 1: year thirty year age gap. If all boxing matches were
Speaker 1: a thirty year age gap, I would watch the hell
Speaker 1: out of all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who did you? Who are you going to miss? Mare? Gailstan?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right, Gail montfees being the consummate
Speaker 1: entertainer and just such a showman out there. But then
Speaker 1: Varenka's backhand being like probably the most perfect backhand outside
Speaker 1: of uh maybe Gasque who retired last year, or you know,
Speaker 1: Federer obviously, but yeah, I think both those guys, it's
Speaker 1: just like it's one of both of them not playing
Speaker 1: this particular slam again. It's like a wake up call
Speaker 1: for that. I'm old.
Speaker 2: It really is end of an era.
Speaker 1: Sad to see him go, but plenty of players obviously
Speaker 1: still marching on and getting through center, making easy work
Speaker 1: in his first round as expected. Djokovic now through to
Speaker 1: the third round. He dropped one set again today against
Speaker 1: Roye French player, So the French crowd. He's played two
Speaker 1: French players in a row and the crowd hasn't been
Speaker 1: on his side, but he's come through pretty easily and
Speaker 1: also the right now. Halfway through the second round, Djokovic
Speaker 1: owns the shot of the tournament, hitting an around the
Speaker 1: net passing shot, not a passing shot, just through in
Speaker 1: front of the chair umpire. It was that small gap
Speaker 1: and from the chair umpire the net and it is
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. Oh yeah, Rebeccena is out.
Speaker 2: I saw that this morning.
Speaker 1: But it was a killer match. It was in the
Speaker 1: decider ten to four starodub sever a Ukrainian player, Yeah,
Speaker 1: took out Rebecca. It was the number two seed for
Speaker 1: the tournament, so that's an absolutely wild Yeah, probably the
Speaker 1: biggest upset so far. And here's the big question that
Speaker 1: everyone's debating. How do you feel about the h the
Speaker 1: no electric line calls?
Speaker 2: Because there was like one guy, Pierre Herbert, he went crazy,
Speaker 2: you're gonna see.
Speaker 1: It looking in the eye.
Speaker 2: You're gonna see it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be out and you're gonna be if you.
Speaker 3: Go say sorry after. That's why I never speak to
Speaker 3: you again.
Speaker 1: Which is like if you asked chat GBT to come
Speaker 1: up with a French.
Speaker 2: Name, Yeah, how's that for you? Do you want to
Speaker 2: make him a cat? He's a black and white cat
Speaker 2: that plays tennis. But yeah, I so there's no electronic
Speaker 2: line call on the clay, but that in some tournaments, yes, right.
Speaker 1: And all the lead up tournaments I think there was.
Speaker 1: It's just the French Tennis Federation has been like.
Speaker 2: They don't like the change.
Speaker 1: I like it. I liked the drama. I like the
Speaker 1: I like watching grown adults point at dirt and yell
Speaker 1: at each other.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I kind of love watching the umpire
Speaker 2: having to get off their chair and like move their
Speaker 2: legs a little bit. They probably appreciate that they're up
Speaker 2: there for a long time. They're like, finally I get
Speaker 2: to stretch my legs. They're an economy up there, and it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just adds a fascinating element that I think
Speaker 1: we've lost with electronic line calls and all the other tournaments.
Speaker 1: I know, the electronic line calls speed up the game
Speaker 1: and there's you know, obviously less conflict, but I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, add some drama to the sport. And then
Speaker 1: core Patch played Wang today and there was another dispute
Speaker 1: over a line call. Wang went around to core Patch's
Speaker 1: side at the court to look at the mark from
Speaker 1: the ball. They start arguing with each other, she gets
Speaker 1: a code violation and then they and then cor Patch
Speaker 1: refuses to shake her hand at the net. So it
Speaker 1: was amazing.
Speaker 2: I love the conflict drama. You're not allowed to go
Speaker 2: over to someone else's side of the court, no, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: No, no no no, so yeah. And then they watched
Speaker 1: the press conference with cor Patch after She's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was crazy. She came over, she argued the line.
Speaker 1: She was pointing at two different marks, but both of
Speaker 1: them were out. So yeah, there's no shortage of drama.
Speaker 1: The French love a bit of drama. Don't they.
Speaker 2: So when the players point to the dirt, the little
Speaker 2: divid in the dirt, does that over overrule a lot
Speaker 2: of the time be like, hey, look it went well.
Speaker 1: It's the chair Empire's discretion obviously. And I think the
Speaker 1: issue there is the chair empires meant to look at
Speaker 1: the mark from the chair, come down off the chair,
Speaker 1: and then go this was the mark. It was out
Speaker 1: or it was in. If the player is pointing at
Speaker 1: a different mark, this is where you get into a
Speaker 1: confusing gray area trying to you know, uh, trick or cheat, yeah.
Speaker 2: Because its around you know, especially but game.
Speaker 1: Is that well is that mark exactly? So I mean again,
Speaker 1: it's up to the chair on pire. And there's plenty
Speaker 1: of calls already within the first you know, a couple
Speaker 1: of rounds of this tournament of players going no, that's
Speaker 1: the wrong mark or it clearly brushed the line, but
Speaker 1: didn't you know, connect solidly with it. And it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's it is kind of silly with the hindsight of
Speaker 1: all the other tournaments using electronic line calls and having
Speaker 1: there be no debate. But like I said before, I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 2: I mean drama.
Speaker 1: So Lizzie, that's the end of the first round and
Speaker 1: halfway through the second round of the French Open. What
Speaker 1: has your predictions changed? Where do you see it going
Speaker 1: from here?
Speaker 2: Swiddelina is still in, yes, and I think she'll be
Speaker 2: doing it for Gale.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: He had a beautiful tribute to her as well. It
Speaker 2: was all in French, but I read the comments someone
Speaker 2: had He wasn't French. I could understand it, but it
Speaker 2: sounded beautiful. But I went into the comments and some
Speaker 2: beautiful person had translated it for everyone and was like,
Speaker 2: here's the English translation, and it was it was a
Speaker 2: nice tribute to Swidelina. And I just obsessed with those
Speaker 2: two anyway. Sidelina is still in. She's still my favorite.
Speaker 2: And I mean Djokovic he's still there.
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean, I think those are two
Speaker 1: very entertaining choices that will be awesome to see even
Speaker 1: go deep into the second week. And it should be said,
Speaker 1: Siddelina beat Cocoa Golf in the final of Rome, you know,
Speaker 1: five six days ago, So that's why that Gail Monte's
Speaker 1: tribute came out about what an amazing woman she is.
Speaker 1: It's awesome she's winning one thousand events. You know and
Speaker 1: lead ups to a Grand Slam, so she has that
Speaker 1: form coming in, so that's going to be awesome to watch.
Speaker 1: What do I think?
Speaker 2: I hear you ask, I'm sorry, let me us, Mike,
Speaker 2: and what do you think.
Speaker 1: I think? I'm sticking with my original predictions of Igashavontek
Speaker 1: reclaiming the crown of the French Open. She is looks
Speaker 1: like she has in the past on clay. She's absolutely
Speaker 1: stomping opponents. Granted she hasn't come up against any huge
Speaker 1: names yet, but I think she's looking kind of like
Speaker 1: her former out there and then boring. But I can't
Speaker 1: go as center just running through the tournament.
Speaker 3: Just hours after recording this pond, Mike was proved wrong.
Speaker 2: Although it is hot and oh yeah, we know he
Speaker 2: doesn't like the hate.
Speaker 3: Just hours after recording this pond, Lizzie was proved right.
Speaker 1: Lizzie, we've been blowing up on socials, uhroub Yeah, viral,
Speaker 1: just sweep viral. Something tells me that when a French
Speaker 1: guy says I am viral, it means something else. We've
Speaker 1: had a few posts go up. When Tonts was on
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, there was the chat about the
Speaker 1: Madrid models as ball girls. That had a big response
Speaker 1: from in cels saying, yeah, what's your point? This would
Speaker 1: should be how it is at all tournaments. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then this one went crazy US during the Australian Open
Speaker 1: and I said I prompted him, I said, would you
Speaker 1: say pickleball is tennis for people with no athletic ability?
Speaker 1: And he was like absolutely. I put the clip up
Speaker 1: and it went so crazy viral that this is like
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago. It's that thing where
Speaker 1: you wake up to more comments every day every day.
Speaker 2: How do I turn those comments off? Every day? It's
Speaker 2: like some angry pickleballer that's like, these guys don't know
Speaker 2: what they're talking about. I've played both sports, and why
Speaker 2: are they having to go with people having fun? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, this is what thing is.
Speaker 2: You're proving the point.
Speaker 1: I know, and the thing is we played both. I
Speaker 1: know you have fun doing both and we support both.
Speaker 1: But imagine getting that angry and like typing out comments
Speaker 1: about a sport with pickle in the title.
Speaker 2: I know, and it's Tommy has of course he's going
Speaker 2: to have an opinion that's pro tennis. He's not going
Speaker 2: to come out and be like, actually, my heart take
Speaker 2: is pickaball rules. Can you imagine if he did that?
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and so like he's a legend.
Speaker 1: He shared it in his stories. I think he's loving
Speaker 1: all the traction it's getting. And uh, it's because like
Speaker 1: the comments are so people go crazy very for the juggular.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's they're not they're not reading. I don't think
Speaker 2: they know that we're comedians or it's just a funny
Speaker 2: little a stupid little pod, you know. Gosh, anyway, we
Speaker 2: still love PICKBA, we still play it.
Speaker 1: Actually, so I signed up for like an open play
Speaker 1: pickleball center down the road from my parents' house. Fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you got to put in like what rating you
Speaker 1: think you are, Like it's like called the duper rating.
Speaker 1: It's one through six. Six is basically pro. And then
Speaker 1: I just said, I'll just say three point five. I
Speaker 1: don't know. And then I showed up and all the
Speaker 1: other players were eighty plus. Oh no, Mike, I mean
Speaker 1: it made me feel young again, beautiful. But then I
Speaker 1: absolutely dominated these dusty old Yeah I think. Yeah, one
Speaker 1: guy burst, uh is colostomy bag.
Speaker 2: And then you were gonna say that I'm like he
Speaker 2: burst is not colostomy bag okay.
Speaker 1: But they were like, oh, you're hitting it too hard.
Speaker 1: Be careful, you might hood my epidemis. And they're like,
Speaker 1: why are you being so aggressive? Please set down. But
Speaker 1: it was so funny and I actually loved it. But
Speaker 1: they asked me to come back and play tomorrow. I
Speaker 1: don't think I would.
Speaker 2: You a bit sore.
Speaker 1: I'm a bit sore.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The fascinating thing about the pickleball Tommy Haas clip is
Speaker 1: that the clip that I had posted right before that
Speaker 1: one was I thought the most viral anything would go
Speaker 1: for me for you know, in the last few years,
Speaker 1: Like it was a clip that I recorded on an
Speaker 1: airplane of a drunk Oh, we've got a talk all
Speaker 1: over the place.
Speaker 2: This is crazy. Mike g comedian goes viral for someone
Speaker 2: else getting drunk, which is great. I mean, sure, those
Speaker 2: plane those plane moments. I mean, I've never seen anything
Speaker 2: like this on a plane. Obviously you hear about it
Speaker 2: because someone gets the cameraund and start shooting. But you
Speaker 2: were there, you were front.
Speaker 1: Row for a context. I was. I was on a
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half hour long flight from Melbourne to Dallas,
Speaker 1: brutal absolutely brutal.
Speaker 2: Well one way like no stop.
Speaker 1: No stop, yea yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that's so direct
Speaker 1: Melbourne to Dallas. And then to add three hours onto
Speaker 1: our journey, we had to stop in Tahiti to drop
Speaker 1: the drunkest man I've ever seen in my life off
Speaker 1: the plane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is crazy. So three and how far into
Speaker 2: the journey were you?
Speaker 1: We're about four and a half hours in. So what
Speaker 1: had happened was like I heard a commotion on the
Speaker 1: other side of the cabin all of a sudden, all
Speaker 1: the flight attendants are like around and you could tell
Speaker 1: like there's something happening, and then word spread throughout its economy.
Speaker 1: Look so pub labor's doing well, but not that well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm an economy go.
Speaker 1: It turns out this guy got into his seat passed
Speaker 1: out right when he boarded the plane, but then the
Speaker 1: person in front of him, four hours into the flight,
Speaker 1: put their seat back and it woke him up, and
Speaker 1: he went on this drunken tirade right and then they
Speaker 1: moved him to my side of the plane and they
Speaker 1: put him, I swear to God, in the seat behind me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm gonna put my seat back.
Speaker 1: But before I got a chance. He was up and
Speaker 1: out of his seat, and he was like running around
Speaker 1: the plane, and then he like locked himself in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: He was trying to get out for a cigarette, and
Speaker 1: he obviously like look at my instagram the you know,
Speaker 1: it's wild. He's yelling at flight attendants. It took four
Speaker 1: flight attendants and three passengers to pin him down and
Speaker 1: do him in the back of the plane. And I've
Speaker 1: recorded the whole thing because I'm the real hero.
Speaker 2: You are You didn't you didn't you didn't volunteer to
Speaker 2: do a pin down.
Speaker 1: I couldn't pin down and record, of course not too hot.
Speaker 1: Then the announcement comes through that we can't subdue him,
Speaker 1: you know, especially for another ten hours. He kept kept
Speaker 1: fighting and struggling, and so we stopped in Tahiti to
Speaker 1: drop him off. And it was the most it made
Speaker 1: the honestly made the trip go quicker because when you're
Speaker 1: bonding with everyone around you about it, and it's like
Speaker 1: it was crazy and people were super pissed because everyone
Speaker 1: missed their connections. I just spent the night in Dallas,
Speaker 1: But since then I've done countless news interviews because of
Speaker 1: what people are obsessed with passengers going out on the
Speaker 1: po and I got so bored with the news interviews.
Speaker 1: I just started making up stuff to see if they
Speaker 1: reported on it.
Speaker 2: Okay, what what are you made up things?
Speaker 1: I said. He kept shouting about being in the Illuminati,
Speaker 1: which is a lie. I said he had an ed
Speaker 1: sheeran tramp stamp. I said, not only was he trying
Speaker 1: to because he bit he bit a flight attendant and
Speaker 1: he actually.
Speaker 2: Bit one of the that's real, that's real.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So I said, not only was
Speaker 1: he biting people, but he was also we caught him
Speaker 1: drinking out of the toilet. And I don't know, like
Speaker 1: because I'm not in Australia, so I like, I was
Speaker 1: on Channel seven.
Speaker 2: Hey I heard you on the radio.
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing in relation to us in this
Speaker 1: podcast is that clip went up millions of views, whatever comments,
Speaker 1: it gets poached by bigger pages. That's all annoying. But
Speaker 1: then the clip after that was talking pickleball with Tommy Hawks,
Speaker 1: and that clip has gotten more traction now than the drunk.
Speaker 2: People are more angry about pickleball than a drunk on
Speaker 2: a plane. Yeah, this is the pickleball community, they knox.
Speaker 1: I just remembered one more wrinkle to the drunk guy
Speaker 1: on the plane. His ex girlfriend ended up contacting me.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what's happened to him?
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I asked. I was like, do you
Speaker 1: want to give a name? Could you tell us anything?
