    Comedians Mike Goldstein and Lizzy Hoo talk all things grass season and try to solve the bone-chilling mystery of 'Why Were There Loose Coins in the Shower?' Watch in disgust as the butcher the pronunciation of the names of several international tournaments, and then decide once and for all which sport is harder to play: Tennis or Golf? The answer, will shock you. It definitely shocked me.
    It's Pod Laver Arena! The only podcast that's been asked to record on the lawn of the White House (we declined the offer)!

    Mike and Lizzy reflect on Roland Garros and compare Flavio Cobolli's overhead smash technique to that of Mike's aunty Linda. They then effortlessly transition into offending the entire Kingdom of Great Britain with some dubious accent work and cultural digs. But you simply have to listen to hear Mike's very special idea to ask tennis players to let him stay in their hotel rooms once they're eliminated from a tournament. It's goofball stuff and, like most things in this tennis podcast, it's not well thought-through. Come and get bagel'd by us.

  • A NET POSITIVE
    Jun 4 2026

    Sam and Lizzy cannot get enough of the spicy affair that is: Roland Garros 2026! Dodgy line calls, soiled shorts, and a player whose frenetic legs have reached the coveted 'Quick Sticks' power rating. It's everything we ever dreamed.

    Plus, we have an extra delicious helping of Bernie Tomic hijinks, and we make a pitch for Tennis Australia's new CEO to send us to Vegas. Will he do it?! Either way, it's all a net positive.
