The Night Session Webcast 25 — X-rated X-rays, Naked Tsitsipas, and Creepy Winking
Your hosts Courtney and Valerie were delighted to discover — and by delighted, we mean BOILING OVER WITH RAGE — that some of the ATP players decided to do epic, weird, and controversial things pretty much the MOMENT the two-and-a-half hour post-Australian Open Night Session webcast finished recording.
Andy Murray posted an X-rated X-ray from his hospital bed, Stefanos Tsitsipas got naked and stole some stuff, Tomic took part in a rather cringe-y and possibly-maybe-totally-kinda unfair TV interview, and Zverev played tennis in a rain-soaked suit.
Things HAPPENED, PEOPLE.
So tune in below to their Not Safe for Work (NSFW) podcast as they tackle some messy topics, some whimsical moments, and yes…they get aggressively orange — but not in the way that you think.
Time stamps and links to our sources are below the video. Please RT and share everywhere if you enjoyed the latest NIGHT SESSION!!
For those of you that want an audio-only experience for your commute, here’s the Podomatic version:
Time Stamps for The Night Session Webcast 25 — X-rated X-rays, Wet Peaches, and Creepy Winking
0:01 The Night Session sultry intro and then Val and Courtney dive right into the X-rated goodness to talk about Andy Murray exposing more than just his post-surgery vulnerability — and the various sublime reactions on both TV and social media.* We totally love you, Andy. For realz.
8:01 AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE … OY! OY VEY! Oh FFS, you guys, this Hewitt / Tomic Aussie tennis drama WILL NOT CEASE! The ladies tackle Bernie’s recent 60 Minutes interview* and do their best to unpack the plethora of weirdly mixed signals, awkward moments, excessive winking, cruel editing, escalating accusations, and weak sauce reactions from supposed authority figures. It’s just a damn mess, y’all.
41:03 I’ll Have What He’s Having! *Insert laughing winking Tomic emoji here* A BRAND NEW Aussie, Alex Bolt, stirs up trouble on social media by using an iconic movie quote to humorously comment on one of Stefanos Tsitsipas’ nerdvana tweets. Is it bullying or just good comedy? This segues into a deeper discussion of Stef’s persona online, and the fact that a lot of those dreamy, philosophical thoughts….belong to other people.
1:01:26 And now for something completely different…. Thanks to Stan Wawrinka’s insurance company-defying behavior, Val discovers the wild new world of trampoline parks* — that apparently everyone else already knew about. The ladies bounce back and forth between the Swiss park and a U.S.A. counterpart that has….a few extra rules. And by “few” we mean “a thousand”.
1:10:22 Mackenzie McDonald takes us all on a journey* through his Australian Airbnb palace that he shares with Taylor Fritz, and….the gals have some questions.
1:15:10 Just a cute little interlude with Grigor Dimitrov and his sartorial choices on Instagram…and Courtney and Val pull the curtain further back on social media heartthrobs.
1:18:55 We end with the sublime back end of one Alexander Zverev, who recently played tennis in the rain* while wearing a….really attractively tailored suit. Val will be in her bunk.
