<v Speaker 1>right now. Who we got here, Christian, please pick me.

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>My partner and I have four daughters under the age

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>of eleven. You've got daughters, you get it. My mum

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>has moved in with us since August. We've also got

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 1>a dog in three chickens. I need to get out

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>of the house, Christian, even if it's only for a

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>few minutes, to lose this seth you have to come down.

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 1>There's this one from Kelly Christian. I want to take

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>part in Knock It into the Park. I was the

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>runner up in the nineteen ninety Under eleven D Special

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>Mixed Doubles competition. Folks, we've got a ringer here, Kelly,

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the one and only runner up from the nineteen ninety

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>under eleven D Special Mixed Doubles competition. We're in the

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>presence of greatness. I think I've got what it takes.

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Please pick me. More emails coming in, Christian. I love

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the sound of this. I love a physical challenge, but

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>also a physics challenge. I have asked chat gpt what

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 1>would it take for me to win and knock it

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>into the park. Apparently, according to chat Gpt, it would

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>take the weight of the tennis ball fifty six grams.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Will require one hundred and fifty seven duels of kinetic energy.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Failing that, oh see, I'll just hit it and hope

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>for the best. Rob Come on down, this one's has

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>come in hot right now. From Samantha Christian. I have

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>three generations of tennis players in my family, my dad,

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>my husband, and my son. Samantha are going to rename

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.639
<v Speaker 1>you all the three g's. You talk about three generations.

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>All we do is talk, eat and sleep. Tennis sum

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>up for us is only the AO and the very

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>sound of the ball bounce gives us goosebumps. Whenever the

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>AO the Australian Open finishes, we all feel as if

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 1>life has come to a halt. Two weeks of undiluted

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>find has suddenly gone out For the next few days

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to do. All three of them have

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>won many trophies during their time. Your son and husband

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>are both knowing to serve well, Samantha. I really hope

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 1>one of the three g's does this. I already hope

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>you're at the finals. You do need to be there, however,

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>come on down. You're definitely there. Bring your husband and

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.440
