29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: more if you were Anton.

00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,440

47
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: fourth be with you? And I think Tonton it also

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,560

Speaker 1: You get your own special and then.

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, how are you, Mike? You must be on cloud

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: nine after Madrid and where we're heading to in the

53
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: broader tennis season. I am and I am not.

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: I think Sinner is just going to have a cake

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: walk through most of the tournaments until Alcock. Well, I

56
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: mean we're also watching Greatness.

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, and we've spoken about how good greatness is,

58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: and it's great if you're watching in twenty years, you're

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: watching a documentary about greatness and you're like, oh my god,

60
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: this guy's unbelievable, what a season he had, and you're like, look,

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: he was just dominating everywhere. But when you're kind of

62
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: in it and you're like, wow, he's going to win again,

63
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: it kind of does take the sting out of the

64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: men's draw.

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: True, and Alcaaz, his absence with injury is being felt already.

66
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there couldn't be a bigger gap between Sinner

67
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,279
Speaker 1: and the rest of the field with Alcoraz out and

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: his wrist injury. I want to put this to you

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: as a golf player fanatic. The Spanish media has said

70
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Alcoraz's injury is more golf related than tennis.

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know this happens. It does happen. So

72
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: the day after he won the Australian Open, he was

73
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: out playing at Kingston Heath. You know, so the guy

74
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: needs to quit golf. He's too obsessed with you. And

75
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: it does happen. I've seen it before. You saw it

76
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: with Usman Kawaja, the Australian cricketer. He missed the Brisbane

77
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: Test because he was hurt. He hurt himself playing gold,

78
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: hurt his back playing golf. These men, they need to

79
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 2: focus on the You can't if you pick a sport

80
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: and that's the sport you have to play. You they're

81
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: all like, oh, we can do golf on the side.

82
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: But it's ruining. It's running Koreas, that's what it's doing.

83
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: But you think is rist injury really doesn't come down

84
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: to him hitting thousands of tennis balls or one hundred

85
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: and forty miles per hour fourhand. He'd like hit a

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: putt a little too voracious.

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: You're thinking about pup putt. This guy. This guy's out there,

88
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: he's on the links. Have you ever you've held a

89
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: tennis ball? I have, And then have you held a

90
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: golf ball, which one is sturdy, which one's harder.

91
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Which one would do more damage? Yeah, golf ball.

92
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally right. And then if you're hitting it, he's

93
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: probably hitting in the rough and he's trying to hack

94
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: it out. He's a pretty strong guy. All that pressure

95
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: goes to your risk and risk it only takes one

96
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: to kind of mess it up, whereas like, you know,

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: you got that nice string, Yeah, you got the nice

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: softer Jennibrawk gives. There's so much more give. He's a

99
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: clay guy that he loves. The ball comes on a

100
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: bit softer.

101
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Is there a put putt injuries?

102
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's when drunk stepdads start hitting someone

103
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: else for the potter.

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: But the one of the big Spanish media, I guess,

105
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: radio personalities. He insinuated that not only is it too

106
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: much golf for Alcoraz, but it's also too much video games.

107
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that sucks. I mean that sucks more than gold.

108
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Let the boy live.

109
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the problem you just do forget that

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: he's a twenty what is he twenty two? Twenty three? Yeah?

111
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: You like, of course he's going to be playing some

112
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: video games. He could give up the golf. I know

113
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: he's a keen golfer, he's off a low handicap, but

114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: I think golf. If I was in his corner, I'd

115
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: be like, golf goes. You can keep video gaming, but

116
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: you've got to stop it.

117
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think he bounces back because he is a

118
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: young man. I know you had a riss injury as

119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: a young man, but yeah, yourself very different.

120
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: I was playing with my light seaber. It was a

121
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: big Star Wars kid, Big Star Wars kid. If I

122
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: was in Alcaraz's corner, I would say, you've got to

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: pick one, because to me, there's three main things that

124
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: are drawing him away from the game of tennis. Right

125
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: number one, you've got this golf, You've got the video games.

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know about that one, and then you've got

127
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: him seemingly want to sleep with every socialite under the sun. Well,

128
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: so I mean he's got to pick one, and I

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: don't think he's going to give up being you know,

130
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: the Frank Sinatra of twenty twenty six. So I think

131
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: it's golf and maybe video games have to go. Video

132
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: games you'll do less injuries, maybe you get a bit

133
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: of like a soul neck or something repetitive strain. I

134
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: guess with you know that just hammering the Yeah, but

135
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: because you'll play the film if the risk goes Yeah, yeah,

136
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

137
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: I worry because you know, obviously you want him back

138
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: for the grass season. He's gonna he says right now

139
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: Alcoraz that he's gonna come back to defend his title

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: in Queens, which is one of the big grass court

141
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: tournaments leading into Wimbledon. You just don't want to see

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: him go the way of Dominic team and one more

143
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: team del Patrick team.

144
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: Team just disappeared. There's the wrist. The wrist, Yeah, yeah,

145
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: it happened. I think with Alchora, though, it's like gonna

146
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: be hard, Like if he's gearing up to come back

147
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: to the grass court season, it's like, and he's missed

148
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: so much tennis. It's a much faster surface. It's like

149
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: he's just gonna be so under he'll get found out

150
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: more like having missed so much tennis. Yeah, so even

151
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: if he's back, is he going to be you know,

152
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: he's still got the ability, he's probably got quarterfinals, semi

153
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: finals all over him. But is he gonna touch center

154
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: The answer is no. I know. That's why it's men's

155
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: tennis sucks right now.

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean I still enjoy watching Cinner absolutely destroy people. Yeah,

157
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, like I said, the gap between him

158
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: and number three is Verreev. But Djokovic has announced he's

159
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: playing Rome, yeah, which starts this week, and I don't

160
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: see him being in forum.

161
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: But we're all on Djokovic now, aren't we. We're all like,

162
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: let's bloody Novak, Australia's Novak, get behind this guy, little

163
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: Alsie Novak, the little guy that could. It's like he's

164
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: going to be out there. We're all going to be

165
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: staying up late on this side of the world cheering

166
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: Novak on to try to make it competitive. What the

167
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: stat I read about Sev has lost his last nine

168
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: matches to Sinner. It's like, what is that duty? You like,

169
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: you're going in with no self relief. You can't beat

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: the guy.

171
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Well, that's why he should bring some levity to his

172
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: next interview and they'll when they ask him about Sinner,

173
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: inevitably he should say, no, one beats Zvera. Yeah, ten

174
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: times in a row.

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I've always said. Yeah, you get me

176
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: the first nine, but the tenth one that's on me.

177
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Well, he did have a winning record against him, I

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: mean for a little while, but then losing the last

179
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

180
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: It actually is crazy, Like you look at what that meant,

181
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: Like that would scar you forever. I feel like, yeah,

182
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: you'd have to be so strong to get through it.

183
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, someone pointed out, it's the Serena Williams

184
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: Sharapovo rivalry. Was called the rivalry, but it was Serena

185
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: absolutely just owning her every time they cud. The greatest

186
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: time rivalry. Yeah, yeah, that's the analogy. It's a hammer

187
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: and nail rivalry.

188
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, of course, of course, of course,

189
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: But that does just happen in tennis though, because if

190
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: you have two kind of clear people but one's better

191
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: than the other, they're still probably going to meet so often.

192
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: So it does seem like a rivalry even though there's

193
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: actually kind of no rivalry, right because one person is

194
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: dominating so much more. The women's draw, that's where it's

195
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: all that, because there's no clue what's going on there.

196
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: No, I mean, we'll get around to that, I think.

197
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Staying on Djokovic for a second, the fact that he's

198
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: warming up in Rome as we speak. He's on the

199
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: practice courts.

200
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: Have you got you've got your little spies?

201
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Have got eyes on an amount, Mike, Mike g has

202
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: eyes and spice like.

203
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: That guy from Game of Thrones. Yeah, it's just a

204
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: little it's a little what do they yet, little thumb

205
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: or some of that. What did he say? He's got

206
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: his little lies? No, not little lies. I don't know anyway,

207
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: he's creepy, but you remind me of him. Thank you?

208
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: All right? You kind of you got a Jeoffrey, I

209
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: got a Jeoffrey vibe.

210
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see I've got a temper and I

211
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: make bad mistakes and my legacy. I don't want to

212
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: think about my legs. No, not at all.

213
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: The so Djokovic being the only one well outside of

214
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Yakov Mensic beating Center in Dubai, Djokovic beat him and

215
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: uh the Australian Open, and so if Djokovic plays his

216
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: way back in the form for Rome and then will

217
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: maybe challenge him in the French but otherwise cakewalk for center.

218
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: Do you think though that like? I mean, yeah, Djokovic

219
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: beat him in Australia, But is that just like the

220
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: last flashes of djokovic brilliance. It's not like is it

221
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: a thing where he's like, I've got the on this guy,

222
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: So if I get back and play him in a

223
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: big time, big match laid in a Grand Slam, I

224
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: can do it. It's like I don't like, I don't know.

225
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: It's just like he pulled out some magic in Australia

226
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: to do it. I don't know.

227
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: But now he's got even more impetus to pull out

228
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: more magic because there's no Alcoraz. He doesn't have to

229
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: beat two of the guys.

230
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, he's just gonna do one. Yeah. It

231
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: is crazy that now it's like Djokovic is so old

232
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: now and we're still like he's got to be the guy.

233
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: I think it's a better storyline. It's a way better story.

234
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Twenty five slams is a better storyline.

235
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all on bull. I love that story. I

236
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: love that story.

237
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Some other wrap ups from Madrid before we get into

238
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: the finals. New Rafa just dropped Rafa Hodar back on

239
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. It sounds like Hoda.

240
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: He also reminds me of you.

241
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: Oh I thought you meant Hodar ra Rafa Hodar The

242
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: teen sensation a year ago ranked in the nine hundreds

243
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: to thirty four.

244
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 2: Now, that's sick. It's amazing, that's it. I just think

245
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: dollars when I think of arrives like that. Yeah, because

246
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: nine hundred you're not making much money at all, but

247
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: you get into the top fifty, the sweet money starts

248
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: coming in. Yeah.

249
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: Apparently with the ATP when you crack the top two hundred,

250
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: they fly you to like everyone else who's broken into

251
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: the top two hundred, to like this big event at

252
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: some city in the world. No. Yeah, and then they

253
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: do like this big like welcome to the top two hundred.

254
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're lying. I swear to god.

255
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: They do that because it's like you, guys, you're entering

256
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: the big time.

257
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: So you're like, these are your p is now. Yeah,

258
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: and it's the whole two hundred day.

259
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: No, it's like that.

260
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: It's in color.

261
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: People within the past year that cracked the two hundred.

262
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So it's like an induction. God, you'd be

263
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: spewing if you had two hundred and one in the world.

264
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: You don't get to go to the island. I'm lucky.

265
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm lucky. That's crazy.

266
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: That true, Yeah, that's true. Well it used to be true.

267
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: I'm currently reading Connor Nylan's book The Racket about playing

268
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: on the futures and challengers to and he said he

269
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: got to go to I think they did it in

270
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: London that year, the big year in the top two hundred.

271
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Now meeting, it's about to promote camaraderie. We should have professionalism.

272
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, like the old school tennis energy of like

273
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: it's the gentleman's game. Yeah, think you shake hands easy

274
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: o p is enjoyed. We should host it next year.

275
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: It's like a secret men's club, That's what I mean. Yeah,

276
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: and you burn like an effigy of an owl at

277
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: the end.

278
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, sacrifice Okay, okay, I like that. I like that

279
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: a lot.

280
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Rafa Hodar is how you pronounce it. Yeah.

281
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: He took out demon Ar early in Madrid. He beat Vonseca,

282
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: that was the other, you know, greatly hyped teenager from Brazil.

283
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: And then he came up against Center and I thought

284
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: it was the most Center got pushed in Madrid by

285
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: Ralpha Hoodar. It was still in straights hats and yeah,

286
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: he but the Spanish because Alcoraz was out with the injury.

287
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: The Spanish had this new.

288
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: They have this new person to kind of get behind.

289
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: I do wonder, like what the gap is between you know,

290
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: like someone ranked so high, like if you're in five,

291
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: six hundreds and then you're playing someone you know, who's

292
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're playing center, you know you're dealing

293
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: with potentially an all time great. But it's like, what

294
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: it's the skill difference? Is it all psychological? Because it

295
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: does kind of boggle the one that someone can get

296
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: on a run and go from that high up to

297
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, ultimately pushing the best player in the world.

298
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy, and I mean people getting behind it.

299
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: You can like that. I guess that pushes you, but

300
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: it kind of does make you wonder. It's like, who

301
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: else is just out there that can kind of do it,

302
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: that's got it in there, I know.

303
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: And this kid, I mean, he's showing the talent and

304
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: the forum and kind of already you know, a good mentality,

305
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: especially for a nineteen year.

306
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: Old nineteen as well, that's like.

307
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if if you've seen him, like he's he's

308
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: all shoulders, he's like six foot three, he weighs one

309
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three pounds and he's just got the

310
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: it looks like a suit bag was a person.

311
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: The best description, no wonder. He just polished off the

312
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: demon so well, like just anything with any of the

313
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: big serve that can just overpower. H I love Alex,

314
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: but it's like that just seems like he's big gap.

315
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who they are. If they're just a

316
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: bit more powerful than physical, it's over for him.

317
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: I know, So be on the lookout for a holder.

318
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: I hope he DoD.

319
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he sounds like we need someone to get behind,

320
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: I know, but I.

321
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Also you worry about someone getting over hyped too early

322
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: and then they just like had a great run and

323
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: then that's it. But I mean to thirty four in

324
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the world, Yeah at nineteen years old.

325
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, is he get how overhyped did he get? Like

326
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: you just called him a suit bag? He's that over

327
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: hyping hard don't know. It still sounds like an underdog

328
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: if you ask me.

329
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: It's look I mean cause he's nineteen, so he still

330
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: has this like little kid head on these like the

331
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: most giantler.

332
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: That's my favorite type of person is the little boy

333
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: face that's like really young but their body's gone quicker.

334
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Can we clip that and play that well.

335
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: I think my favorite type of person.

336
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: It's a little boy face a man's body.

337
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: But you've got to don't cut it at little boy.

338
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: You've got to let me keep doing the other stuff

339
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: if you just cut it at My favorite type of

340
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: person is a little boy. I'm in a lot of trouble.

341
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.

342
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: I love that when you see them and they just

343
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: look so young and bright eyed, but they're just like

344
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: playing with the big fellas. Yeah.

345
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: So I mean, like we'll see what he does in

346
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: Rome and then at the French. Just quickly to deviate,

347
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: I would like to talk about the history of models.

348
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: At the Madrid Open so I on Tyriac, a Romanian

349
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: business man. In twenty fourteen, it made all female models

350
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: ball girls their age nineteen to twenty eight, and he said,

351
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: you have to wear very revealing out for interesting. Andre

352
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Augusty complained about it, said it was very distracting, and

353
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: then you know, of course, eventually it was not until

354
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three when it was like people were like,

355
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: what are we doing? This is sexist. You can't have

356
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: these ladies as the ballgirls. Yeah, And like usually they

357
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: use up and coming juniors from local clubs. Yeah, and

358
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: not only were they were they emblazoned with the like

359
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: Hugo boss logo, but then he would also get it

360
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: across their chest as well. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, what's

361
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: his god's name?

362
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: I on Tyriaca fashionating guy a replacement for Craig Tyley.

363
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: I mean he's I know, I don't mind that we

364
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: should put him forward. Eventually the tournament was handed over

365
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: and in twenty twenty three they said no more models,

366
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: but maybe some models.

367
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: I respect, because you can't rule out models. Everyone loves

368
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: a few models around. But I do get that, like

369
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: if you're playing in the biggest match your life and

370
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: there's like five models like running around, they're also not

371
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: professional for their hearts aren't going to be in it

372
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: in the way the ball kids are. We got to

373
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: meet a bunch of them. These these kids like live

374
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: for it, so they're probably falling over and they're looking beautiful,

375
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: and you're worried about the model hurting it, So you

376
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 2: don't want to see a beautiful model hurt themselves.

377
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: And also you put Hoda and Van Tsaka, two nineteen

378
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: year old boys out there, how could you concentrate on it?

379
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: You got to, but just put the models in like

380
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: the player box or somebody. They're happier there as well.

381
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: I think the models like let them just you know,

382
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: pop into the mecha store out the front or whatever,

383
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: do some influencing stuff. Bang, they can watch the game,

384
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: have an apple or all spirits. Everyone's happy, like literally,

385
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: everyone is happy. They don't have to be the ball kids.

386
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they tried to soften it, like in two

387
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: thousand and seven by going, okay, we'll use male models

388
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: as well. Right, so they had both male models for

389
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: the women's matches and females for the and then now

390
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: it's like kind of a mix, but heavy on the

391
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: female model.

392
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: It's still heavier on the female.

393
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: Especially towards the later matches.

394
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: So these like ball kids, it's been their whole life training,

395
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: gets to the quarters in the semis and it's like, sorry,

396
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 2: we're going with the hot people exactly. Can you imagine

397
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: you know, the famous kid of the kid, the clip

398
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: of the kid just like slamming into the wall end.

399
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: In Madrid, Yeah, in Madrid, face plans. Yeah for our listeners,

400
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: al Magro is playing and the kid face Plans looks back.

401
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 2: I'd imagine imagine if that was like Sydney Sweeney, Oh

402
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: my god, you would be like, God, we have to

403
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: stop the tennis fater I Forfard, I have to look

404
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: after the beautiful woman right now. But then also a

405
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: billion views later. Oh it would be so good. Everyone

406
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: wants to go to Madrid to watch totally. Yeah. Okay,

407
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: this guy's a visionary. I like the idea.

408
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: Other news stories out of Madrid a the stomach virus,

409
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: wreaked havoc, crazy numbers. This took down I know in

410
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: the first week. It took out Eagish Fontec, who had

411
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: to retire in the third set of her match. Madison

412
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: Keys was out with it. Marin Chillic Coco got through

413
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: a match but was taking time on a change of

414
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: vents to borrow.

415
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to get this virus to play Cinner.

416
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: Oh am, I right, can we get a right there?

417
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well he was paranoid about getting it, so he's like,

418
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to any.

419
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: Of the communal areas. Yeah, because well he's always kind

420
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: of a bit sick sort of, so I'm surprised he

421
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: didn't get him. He's always got a bit of a

422
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: sickly look about it. It's just redheads. Yeah, that's so true.

423
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: That's true, which is a disease, it's a virus himself. No,

424
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: we love red. We love the reds. Also, can I

425
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: say just on the virus thing quickly, I do love Like,

426
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: you know, sports is sports, and these are professional athletes

427
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: and we all tune in and we're like, God, they're

428
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: training is so you know, intense, and they've got such

429
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: a strict diet in life, but it is. It just

430
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: does always have school camp energy at a tennis tournament.

431
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: When a virus goes through, it just takes everyone out.

432
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, of course, you're all just in the

433
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: same cafeteria and the same gym, in the same It's like, yeah,

434
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: you're on school camp and someone got diarrhea and now

435
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: you're all getting it as well.

436
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have like a communal nurse that it's

437
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: also checking for headlights, because that would just.

438
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: All right, they've got knits all right publicly that you

439
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 2: get to do a press conference.

440
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's the player most likely to bring knits to

441
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: the tournament?

442
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: I reckon it would have been marat Safin back in

443
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: the day. Yeah, although he did have a lot of

444
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: short hair.

445
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: But now maybe now marat Safin, I'm thinking like a bublic.

446
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: Bublic. Yeah, he's like a bit. I mean, I feel

447
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: like I mean, it's hard to know, but I feel

448
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: like that for some reason, like long hair, scary hair

449
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: is what I think of when I think of nits,

450
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: maybe like I sit the pass or something. But I

451
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: could be wrong. I've never had knits. I'm quite clean.

452
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I've been nitless too.

453
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 2: You've been nitless, you've been knitless. I am nitless. I'm

454
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: currently currently nitless. Currently, Well, you've had a fresh haircut.

455
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: I know I wouldn't touch that if they were knits

456
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: in it.

457
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: My my wife said, it looks like I'm wearing a

458
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: party hat made of hair.

459
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a compliment.

460
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: It really was hurtful.

461
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 2: It's you've got a US Navy haircut. That's how I

Speaker 2: been drafted or conscripted to go to Vietnam.

464
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,520

476
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: got some clips here of it. But then later on

477
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: she was complaining to the coach and he said, uh,

478
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,200

Speaker 2: So it's like, is this guy a hero or what?

482
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 2: Remember what I told you at home, stop sucking talking.

483
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't. I don't like couples

484
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: in tennis. I don't like them in the box, So

485
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: I don't like them. Sabillanca's boyfriend. He kind of annoys

486
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: me sometimes, but he's like A I mean he's not

487
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: A yeah, I mean he's not. But it is like,

488
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: I guess that's hard if you kind of he's a

489
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 2: pro tennis player. He knows what's going on. But yeah,

490
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: you would be tempted to not just like but it's

491
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: like a yelling at.

492
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: It's a workplace relationship like that. They're like a touring

493
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: circus and they're around each other all the time, like

494
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: totally you don't know anyone else. Of course they're gonna

495
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: date each other.

496
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: But so you'll put your partner your wife. You know,

497
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: she sees a lot of stand up comedy.

498
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: Which one are we talking about?

499
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: Partner slip slips up? Don't people, he's crazy, But she

500
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: sees a lot of stand up comedy. But if you

501
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: what if you're performing your set and then she's just

502
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: out of stage, just like in your ear being like

503
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: pull your ship together, like be more positive.

504
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: I love it, you love it. I need that.

505
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Like one.

506
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: Joke bombs and I just hear you go stop fucking talking.

507
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 2: Stop sucking. Oh wait, so she's saying negative. She's not

508
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: a positive thing. Okay, She's then just validating the voices

509
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: in your head. Yeah, okay.

510
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: So the other kind of announcing themselves on the tour

511
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: was Haley Baptiste, the American player took out this is

512
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: the biggest win of her career. Easy taking out Sabolenka

513
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: in the quarterfinals and saving six match points along the way.

514
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: Six match points is crazy. That's stress right there, just

515
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: absolutely just inner dis winging, like God, when will this pain?

516
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: And then you get to the other side of the mountain.

517
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: You'd be shocked, you one, if you saved six match points.

518
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean imagine the adrenaline, like just coursing through like

519
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: against sable Anka, the number one in the world, and

520
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: then losing Tamira Andreva in the semi final, and then

521
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: of course in the final of the women side in Madrid,

522
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: we had Mardakstiak, friend.

523
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: Of the show, Friend of the show, You've got history.

524
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: We have history. She said, I was too cute to be.

525
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: On a podcast, That's what she said.

526
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: Have you had any nicknames throughout the career?

527
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You sent it the YouTube

528
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: linkh okay. It's actually kind of a visual media.

529
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, we get people watching, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

530
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: Gi Marta, this is a Ukrainian. This is the big

531
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: sticking point I guess for tennis media is this is

532
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: a Ukrainian playing a Russian player. Marta did not shake

533
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: hands and get a picture with Mira.

534
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: Well, they've got bad blood the two countries. Mike, I'm

535
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 2: not sure if you've followed the Yeah, they don't like

536
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: each other really? Yeahs nasty. What's going on today? Yeah?

537
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: I get that, but.

538
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: This is Costia not even acknowledging, yes, the opponent beating

539
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: Mira Andreva and straight sets, saving set point in the

540
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: second set, but not even mentioning Mirra Andreva.

541
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 2: In this speech. Well, I watched the speech and it's

542
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: like very noticeable that doesn't get brought up. But it

543
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: also kind of goes into this new trend of tennis

544
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: speeches that we are seeing, which are very like pro yourself,

545
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: you know, just being like I've done it, I'm awesome,

546
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: my team, how good are we go us? So she

547
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: could be forgiven that she is just a one minded

548
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: sporting psychopath, like they all are, really right, and it

549
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: had no political kind of connotations with it at all.

550
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: That's what I'd say if I was defending her. But

551
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: I think it had a lot to do with the

552
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: Russian aspect of it all.

553
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: What okay not shaking her hand at the end of

554
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: the match, cast chick not doing that if you played

555
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: someone they refuse to shake your hand, And then they

556
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: did a backflip and sult the injury.

557
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: Or yeah, you can't backflip, that's bang out of order. Backlip. Yeah,

558
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: I know, I saw the back You can't backflip like

559
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: the handshake I get, and we've seen cases of that

560
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: before as well this year in tennis, but you can't

561
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: back the backflip is never like I mean, I don't know.

562
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: Backflips just don't seem right. You didn't like it, well,

563
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't get a backflip in a different context.

564
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: It's also I mean, you give me a backflip for

565
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: the greatest, coolest I would kill to me. I once

566
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: saw our mutual friend Jared McGowan do a backflip off

567
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: a rock into water, and like I thought people were

568
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 2: going to get his autograph, like it was unbelievable. Yeah,

569
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: it is great, But a backflip in this situation, it's

570
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: like you're making a political stand. You don't then backflip.

571
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: You know, Ron Luther King didn't say I have a

572
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: dream that did a backflip? Did he?

573
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: If he did, I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, that would

574
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: be ar.

575
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: Like, you don't need to dream, you're living it right now, mate.

576
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: Even if Neil Armstrong did a backflip on the moon.

577
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, he could have been backflip from

578
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: man one, a huge backflip for mankind.

579
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: Well, with the lack of gravity, it would have been

580
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 2: easier the backflip if he missed a beat.

581
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they were also on a sound stage.

582
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: And yeah, had fishing line like attached, so they could

583
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: have just like Pink at one of her concerts, just

584
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 2: swimmer around.

585
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: True, true, true. So I mean, next time we play purckleball,

586
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I'll try my best to do a backflip. Yeah.

587
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: And you don't shake cans anyway when you play pickaball. Yeah,

588
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: so it is kind of very similar to that kind

589
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: of geopolitical conflict.

590
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Marto Castick, she's on a terror because she

591
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: won a two fifty event and.

592
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: Ruin that's her first one thousand, Yeah, first one, that huge.

593
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Huge Yes, mirror Andreva still you know, a team still

594
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: playing great ball, and I think should makes a deep

595
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: run at the French Open as well.

596
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: It is great, Like who do you like in the

597
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: women Like it's just kind of chaos at the moment.

598
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: It's people kind of coming out from everywhere. I mean

599
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: that the virus didn't help, but like it's I mean,

600
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: you wouldn't want to be, you know, a professional tennis

601
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: gambler because on that women's side, I don't know who's

602
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: going to win.

603
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: Of all the surfaces, to have diarrhea on clay would

604
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: be the most, I.

605
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: Would argue, it'd be the best. Yeah, yeah, I tell

606
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 2: what you were going to say, Yeah, yeah, yeah, if

607
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: you could, like it would blend in and then if

608
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: there was a bit of a breeze it would kind

609
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: of get covered. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

610
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: I mean the grass is the worst.

Speaker 2: It's best review I've ever got. Ex review.

615
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: The men's final, Yennick Center absolutely destroying Sasha Zeverev in

616
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: under an hour. I just for anyone in zeb did

617
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: apologize at the end of the match. Two things to

618
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: discuss here is tennis the only sport where a loser

619
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: gives a speech at the end.

620
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they're not technically a loser. The runner up

621
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: the runner up like they've still come second in a

622
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: Grand Slam, which is not nothing. But I mean if

623
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: you get done in straight sets in under an hour,

624
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: you're a loser.

625
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, And why are we still continuing on with

626
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: making a person who's clearly distraught played a terrible match.

627
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: Do a speech. Yeah. I like it. I like to

628
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: see people because the beauty of tennis, I often think,

629
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: and especially the final, it's like it's almost like it's

630
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: a primitive form of sport and it's just like one

631
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: person versus another person being like, I'm going to beat

632
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: that person, and they often you know, they're a bit

633
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: cocky and they've got to be confident, and then they

634
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: just even if they lose, it's just embarrassing, Like you

635
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: just have lost, it's embarrassing. And then you have to

636
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: be like, oh god, damn it, that person is better.

637
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: You just have to admit they're better than me, Like

638
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: you can't say they're not better than you. And I

639
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: think that's part of the fun, is it?

640
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: Well, because Mira Andreva crying right well, as soon as

641
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: she lasts, she's there with the taps come.

642
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: To a backflip.

643
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: But then going from crying to talking in front of

644
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: thousands of people. I mean, I know you do it

645
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: with stand up, but it's like maybe tons of people.

646
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: It depends what night it is, Wednesday not Wednesday occasionally, you.

647
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: Know, well Wednesday is a tough night. It's hard to

648
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: get people out. There's very you know, apologize to the crowd.

649
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: Lasted under an hour, the quickest final in Madrid, just

650
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: behind a sixty two minute five. All that was Alcoraz beating.

651
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: Who uh Djokovic.

652
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: Zverev, Oh dude in twenty twenty two.

653
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you've got a part. I like it. Well,

654
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: yeah he should be. So he was already self conscious

655
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: about it, that's obviously on his mind, and then he's

656
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: getting absolutely like smashed and he's thinking, what's happening again?

657
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: This is humiliating. These people have spent a lot of

658
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: money because I imagine the seats there in Madrid costs

659
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 2: a lot more, because you know, those front ones are

660
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: like little booths in those stadiums, like they're just kind

661
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 2: of wedge. They must be costing astronomical amounts of mind.

662
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: You don't have to sit next to some.

663
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: Freaki sit closer to the models.

664
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: That's why they want to get close.

665
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: And then Zverev, in his postmatch interview said there's clearly

666
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: a huge gap between center and the rest of the field.

667
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: But there's not a huge gap between himself, Djokovic, and

668
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: al karaz Nah.

669
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: Because Alchoraz is clearly ahead of those two.

670
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: That's semi final we watch at the Australian Open was

671
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: Zverev's match.

672
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: To Yeah, but Alkoraz was injured, dealing or he was

673
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: faking an injury or something. Well, because he was getting beaten.

674
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: He came back. I mean, it was one of the

675
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: most incredible sporting events. But he was like limping and

676
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: well that's what he said. It was cramped.

677
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: Remember you wanted to leave to eat CORNI Chan's that

678
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: was your what's your girlfriend?

679
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

680
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. The huge the amazing stats to come out of

681
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: this with Sinner is he's the first man ever to

682
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: record five straight one thousand titles, about five straight atp thousand.

683
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: Imagine if he had got the Australian Open as well,

684
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: It's like you'd be looking, you'd be on the verge

685
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: of this kind of psycho year that would maybe never

686
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: be replicated again. I mean we kind of ord he

687
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 2: kind of iron that situation.

688
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, and all he needs now to complete tennis,

689
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: to like win everything there is to win is a

690
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: gold medal at the Olympics, the French Open and Rome

691
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: which starts in a few days.

692
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 2: I mean he could have it all done within two

693
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: months or three months. When's the Olympics? Four months? None?

694
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: Think of the World Cup. Yeah, that's kind of that's

695
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: a bit different. Yeah, that's okay. He's not he's not

696
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: playing in the Soccer World Company. Well, Italy didn't even qualify,

697
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: so he's kind of fucked, is that right? Yeah?

698
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow?

699
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: Where are the other grounds? A few other things I

700
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: have known, Well, one main thing that I liked since

701
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: he's out and about. You know, it's clay. This is

702
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: the surface he loves. But did you say this video

703
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: on Instagram of I think it's his like mum just

704
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 2: being his coach, which kind of rules. There's something about

705
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: a lady dressed in a in a white white brim hat,

706
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: wearing a girl and dressed. It suggests to me she

707
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 2: knows she knows her tennis.

708
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, she looks like she should be complaining at a cafe.

709
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 2: She looks like she should be like kicking out someone

710
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: she doesn't like in a public space, complaining to a manager. Yeah,

711
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 2: they gonna don't fit the vibe.

712
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: She's upset that her satsiki was too cold.

713
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: She looks like the type of person you know when

714
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: we tried to get into that exclusive bar during the

715
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: She looks like some of the people that were already

716
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: in there looking at us, arguing with the security about

717
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: trying to get in there.

718
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, shaking their head. Yeah, disdain well, because he's obviously

719
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: been coached by his dad forever, and there's constant chatter

720
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: between his dad and stuff on os when he's on court,

721
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: and then now adding the mom to the mix, it's

722
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: just nightmare stuff because clearly the mom and the dad

723
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: are disagreeing with each other on the tips totally.

724
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: But also, like you know, sister Phats has kind of

725
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: been on this downward slide for a while. It's like,

726
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: maybe give mom a goyah, who knows what mom's up

727
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: a sleep like Dad's kind of, you know, the relationship

728
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: kind of is maybe not producing the best results. Maybe

729
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: mum's got some other kind of real tough mum love.

730
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: You know how mums can kind of inspire you in

731
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: the other way. They can just say kind of slightly

732
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: mean things and disguise them as being quite nice. You

733
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: know what I mean, I do I do.

734
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: But also, how about no family? How about get an

735
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: old tennis pro to you know, coach, you have you

736
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: ever met a Greek person?

737
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: They're very into family. Okay, you do it all as

738
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: a family. Yeah yeah, I guess I don't know. Get

739
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: talent Greek sport in your box, you know, tell you

740
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 2: to shut up? Well yeah, yeah, just shut the fuck

741
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 2: up stuff, stop playing. But then the mum will probably

742
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: then go psycho with him. That's true, just start hitting

743
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: him to my boy like that. Yeah.

744
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, since the past was starting to show

745
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: some form again in Madrid, so maybe so.

746
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: Maybe mum knows what's up? Yeah? Yeah, I love it.

747
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 2: I love it on tie mum, I want that to

748
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: be nice.

749
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: Can you do an impression of a Greek mom telling

750
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: you how to play tennis?

751
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: Australian Greek or like.

752
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: Let's go on the Greek?

753
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: Oh my boy, what do you call it? That is

754
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: not that is not how you play tennis. You use

755
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: your forehand, my son, what the hell? Pull your fucking

756
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 2: head together?

757
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 1: Huh, it's it's like, yeah, sushi, may.

758
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 2: Do an impression of my manager if you both met

759
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: my manager. Yeah woo.

760
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: As mentioned before, we're recording on the fourth of May,

761
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: the internationally recognized Star.

762
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: Wars Day, the day of the nerd.

763
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, may the fourth be with you. So to commemorate

764
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: the day, we are being forced to guess the names

765
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: of these Star Wars tennis.

766
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: Player fantastic hybrids.

767

Speaker 1: All right, okay, this is Arthur Fees stuff.

00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: This is this is the Dove Vader, the hat of

769
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,319
