1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy demand of arms

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: for the pub test, athletes being forced to face the

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 2: press as it passed the pub test.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 3: You probably heard by nar Naomi Saka has withdrawn from

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 3: the French Open. She said she didn't want to do

7
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 3: after game press conferences and she accepted she'd be fine

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: for that. She said she had to protect her mental health.

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 3: There's been a big pylon, for example, Pierce Morgan saying

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: that this is the Harry and Meghan effect. They want

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: their cake and eat it too. They exploit the media

12
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: but call out mental health when they want to silence criticism.

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 3: Other sports journalists are saying, hey, you know what, this

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: is part of the gig. It's not criticism, it's discussion

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: of your form. Even other tennis players are among top players.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: I've said speaking to the press is part of the job.

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: But should we be more sensitive to the fact that

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: not every player she does her job on the court.

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: Not every player is going to be mentally strong enough

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: to deal with the naysays in a press conference.

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: You know, as a fan of NRL, when I watch NRAL,

22
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: care what the players think when they're walking off the

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: field and they're out of breath. I don't want to

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: he does has speak through his broken nose, going muttering

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: away into what went wrong or right with the game.

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: I don't care that the game was one or lost.

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: That's its okay. Well, what do you think athletes being

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: forced to face the press? Does this past the pub test?

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's becoming more of an interrogation. Yes, for

30
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: god about the hard questions one more then premium tickets

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 4: to watch them play for their joy the strap and

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: support them.

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, absolutely, it's part of their job and the

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: fans want to hear from them, and it's just something

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: that is part of their game.

36
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does, because everybody that has a high.

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Powered job is going to have a bad day and

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: they have to learn to suck it up and deal

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: with it.

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: If you can't cope with the bad as well as

41
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: the good, then this is not your occupation.

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 5: I think these athletes need to understand that they do

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: this job and it's part of the job, and they

45
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 5: know that going in. They get paid very well to

46
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 5: do that job as well. And interestingly enough, I was

47
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 5: he motor racing legend Casey Stone has sided that as

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 5: one of the reasons why he retired.

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: So there you go.

50
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: It's true that he hated media intrusion. Did he imagine

51
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: after we finished the show and we say, hey, Amanda,

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: we didn't love the way you back announced rock set, before.

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: We do get told that we have constant ratings, we

54
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: have bosses who have to tell us what they think

55
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: of what we're doing.

56
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: We have that the day someone says gives me grief

57
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: about the way I back announced rock set is the

58
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: day I walk out of this building.

59
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: So I haven't seen today's emails because.

60
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: No one back aounts rock set better than I do.

61
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: In fact, I forward sell rock set better than anyone.

62
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: Are we about to play rock set?

63
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,240
