Hosts Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) and Lizzy (@lizzyhoo) step into Pod Laver Arena for the first time. The air is thick, and the floor is wet and sticky, as Mike dropped a Fanta in rehearsal. Today we learn about our hosts and get a general overview of whatever fresh hell this podcast is. There's tennis news (with jokes), a grunting game (with jokes), and Lizzy drops the brand new podlaver@tennis.com.au email address in a manner she'll definitely regret. Also, she gets hits in the back with a ping pong ball. Hard enough for WorkCover to maybe pay us a visit. Anyway... Australian Open 2026 is coming. And Pod Laver Arena is here to whet your goddamn whistle!
