00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,800
Hey everybody, and welcome to 
the latest episode of The Ball 

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,160
Boys. 
We are the tennis podcast that 

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,160
puts the dad in Marcos 
Baghdadis. 

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,000
I'm your host, Paul Moncolm, and
today I am your sugar daddy 

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,440
because I'm going to spoil you 
rotten with another show in less

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,160
than a week. 
Yes, just in time for Father's 

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,800
Day. 
This is a special episode of The

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,000
Ball Boys where we are paying 
tribute to all the dads of 

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,040
tennis. 
Because who doesn't love a good 

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,040
daddy? 
And it's only fair because last 

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,560
month we paid homage to all the 
baby Mamas on tour with the real

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,440
mother of a show. 
And we just can't overlook the 

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,120
men. 
Moms get all this credit for 

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,520
coming back after maternity 
leave and getting back into 

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,680
winning form, but what about the
dads? 

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Being a dad and a tennis player 
takes a lot of balance and 

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,480
skill. 
I mean, some of these guys are 

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880
off the tour for upwards of two 
weeks when they have a kid and 

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,920
they still managed to come back 
into fighting shape and come 

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,720
back stronger than ever. 
So today we are celebrating 

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,360
dads, daddies and everything in 
between. 

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,680
We've got some games like Who's 
your daddy? 

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,560
We're going to dissect who has 
the best dad jeans out there. 

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
And we're going to finish with 
Father Figures where we're going

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,280
to rank the top daddies with a 
special edition of the Bay 

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,560
Teepee. 
Now listeners, did you forget to

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,160
buy your father something for 
Father's Day? 

28
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,000
Or maybe you haven't come out to
them yet, or maybe you're not 

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,520
speaking to him at all. 
In any case, this episode is the

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,880
perfect gift for dad. 
Hey, three birds, one show 

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,200
right? 
Also PS we are rushing the show 

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,680
out tonight on a Friday night so
that we can all go out and 

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,800
protest tomorrow. 
The no kings protest cause the 

34
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,800
only king I recognize is the 
King of Clay. 

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,880
So I'll see you on the streets 
everybody. 

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,880
Now to dish on the dads and 
dismantle the patriarchy. 

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,520
I'm bringing back the mother of 
all ball boys. 

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,720
You know her, you love her. 
I call her daddy. 

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,400
It's Ivy Pakoda. 
Hey Ivy, How the hell are you? 

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,440
I'm good, Paul, I'm coming to 
you from Indian Wells where it's

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,000
180° and I'm glad there's no 
time to sign here right now. 

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,280
I wanna give a special shout out
to my dad who just subscribed to

43
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120
the podcast, Phil Pakoda. 
Oh, nice. 

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Hey, Phil, what is going on? 
I was just going to ask, how's 

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,480
your dad? 
He's. 

46
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Great. 
He he's a has my daddy. 

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,800
I know my dad's. 
Just the dad. 

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,880
Dad, not dad. 
And guys, this is a very 

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,600
important distinction. 
Dad, not daddy. 

50
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,720
We'll be talking about that 
today. 

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,920
Yeah, Yeah. 
He's great. 

52
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,880
He's an avid listener, listens 
every time. 

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Amazing, amazing. 
And do you have any special 

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Father's Day traditions? 
Not, I mean, not anymore. 

55
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,400
I call my dad sometimes. 
I said, like a gold belly gift 

56
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,440
box. 
Get some, you know, food up to 

57
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,040
New Hampshire that you can't get
up there. 

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Yeah, wasn't quite sure Father's
Day was this weekend until we 

59
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,320
decided to record the podcast. 
I came out of nowhere. 

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,640
I thought we had another week, 
which, you know, it's it's very 

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,560
sort of indicative of, of, you 
know, Father's Day. 

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600
I feel like it's an afterthought
compared to Mother's Day. 

63
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,360
You know, it's like, oh, Mom, 
get. 

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,440
All the grail or whatever, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. 

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,320
It's like, you know, here's some
socks. 

66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,440
But Speaking of being a parent, 
you have a book coming out, 

67
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,520
right? 
So there's this book party 

68
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,240
coming up on Tuesday at Skylight
Books over here in Los Feliz. 

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,800
I'm staying in Los Feliz while 
my roof is being repaired from 

70
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,880
prolapsing. 
I can't freaking wait. 

71
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,200
I am such a fan of your writing.
Tell us real quick about this 

72
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,080
book. 
It's called. 

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
What's it called? 
Called Ecstasy and Justin's on 

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
for Father's Day. 
It is a book about a woman who's

75
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,960
an asshole husband has just died
and now she's going to contend 

76
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,880
with her not so great son. 
They are in Greece where he is 

77
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
opening a hotel that his father 
had started building before his 

78
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,720
death. 
And his mom starts partying with

79
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,320
some women down on the beach and
her son does not say kindly to 

80
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,040
it because women, especially 
women of a certain age are not 

81
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,120
allowed to enjoy themselves and 
things get really ugly. 

82
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,400
So it's sort of a dismantle the 
patriarchy, but. 

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,120
Nice. 
Perfect. 

84
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,480
Here you go, Dad. 
Read that. 

85
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
I love that. 
It's a cool, cool title. 

86
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Ecstasy. 
I'm glad that you changed it 

87
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,480
from, I think the original title
was Molly. 

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
So this is a, you know, a nice 
change. 

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,800
And yeah. 
So anyone who's out there, feel 

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,760
free to come on by Tuesday night
at Skylight Books. 

91
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,079
And those feelers love that 
bookstore. 

92
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640
It's going to be a fun old time.
And then there's like, drinks 

93
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,160
and dancing afterwards. 
So yeah, that's right. 

94
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,080
A good old time that's we bust 
out the lolly. 

95
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,320
Yeah, exactly. 
All right, well, let's dive into

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,600
the dads, shall we? 
So before we start dissecting 

97
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,800
the dads and talking about our 
favorites, we're going to start 

98
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,080
with a game called Who's Your 
Daddy? 

99
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,160
And basically Ivy, I've got 3 
dads just waiting for you to 

100
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,960
name them and I've got 5 clues 
to get you to that name. 

101
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,280
The, the goal is to figure out 
who the dad is and as few clues 

102
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:57,560
as possible. 
We played this with the moms. 

103
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,640
The, the, the clues were way too
easy. 

104
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,440
I was, I was wrong. 
I underestimated you. 

105
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,960
So I think these are a little a 
little more challenging so. 

106
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,000
I'm better on moms than dads, so
I'm better at the moms and the 

107
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,320
dads. 
So this would be. 

108
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:15,480
Hard dads get the shaft if if 
you know what I mean. 

109
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,640
OK. 
And everyone feel free to play 

110
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,320
along with us at home. 
So we're going to go one by one 

111
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,440
through the clues. 
So Are you ready to play? 

112
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,800
Who's your daddy? 
I am. 

113
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,960
First one. 
OK, this first dad at 32 was the

114
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,080
oldest player to break into the 
top 10 for the first time. 

115
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:44,480
And you name that, Dad. 
I should know that I don't know.

116
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,120
Nothing. 
OK, Yeah. 

117
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,120
Look, I'm not. 
I'm no hurry to be like she's 

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Danish and she won a Grand Slam.
These are going to be harder. 

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,400
Come on. 
Girl want 23 grand slams and has

120
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,960
a dad. 
Yeah, exactly. 

121
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,720
Sister of Venus. 
So this same dad has a large 

122
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,240
hamsa tattoo on his back which 
is like a giant hand. 

123
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,320
So if you've ever seen him 
shirtless between changeovers, 

124
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,360
he's got a large hamsa. 
That I that I don't know. 

125
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,640
No, I don't. 
Know All right, all right, good.

126
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:21,720
I'm glad. 
I'm glad that we're getting at 

127
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,320
least to a few of the clues the 
he's also the first Italian to 

128
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,240
win a Masters tournament. 
Bonini. 

129
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,120
Yes. 
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. 

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,440
OK, Bobby, OPS Bonini. 
He was 32 when he broke into the

131
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000
top 10. 
I didn't know that. 

132
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,200
I thought he, oh, I thought he 
had fallen out and then come 

133
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:45,400
out. 
I guess you're I, I'm obsessed 

134
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,520
with his marriage. 
They just seem so normal. 

135
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,800
I know you would think this is. 
Crazy Playboy. 

136
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,680
I completely agree. 
It's wild. 

137
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,120
So so for anyone who doesn't 
know, he married Flavia Panetta,

138
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,680
who won the US Open I think in 
2017. 

139
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,120
Retired right afterwards. 
'Cause he's like we, we know. 

140
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Yeah, exactly. 
We know what happened in that 

141
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:04,720
U.S. 
Open. 

142
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,960
Thanks Roberta Vinci. 
We don't talk about it. 

143
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,760
Yeah, we don't talk about it. 
No, Roberta's in this house, but

144
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,080
yeah, they, they've they've been
together. 

145
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,240
They have three kids and what a 
family. 

146
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840
And he's about to retire, so God
bless Fabio and. 

147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,880
I loved him. 
Yeah, love, Love. 

148
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,880
OK, we got one. 
We got one. 

149
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,760
OK, next, who is your daddy? 
This charmer is a reserve member

150
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,720
of a professional chess league. 
Daniel Levito. 

151
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,480
No, but you're you're. 
That has to be. 

152
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,480
That has to be right. 
You're in the, you're you're. 

153
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,600
You're definitely in the. 
I just know he is, yeah. 

154
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,600
He might be, he may be. 
This is true. 

155
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,920
He may be. 
There might be a lot of them. 

156
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,480
Yeah, he's also. 
Dead. 

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,560
Yeah, hell, he is. 
He sure is. 

158
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,320
The next one is he reached a 
career high of #17 that's his 

159
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880
career high. 
That's not a good clue. 

160
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,360
OK, so it's a Russian who hit 
#17 and he has a kid. 

161
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600
No. 
Well, so the Russian clue, 

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,080
what's coming up next? 
He used to play for Russia, but 

163
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,480
not anymore. 
That's the fourth clue. 

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Oh God, I don't know. 
He had a really emotional, fun 

165
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,120
run at the French Open just two 
weeks ago, made it to the 

166
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,640
quarters. 
Oh my God, my brain isn't 

167
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,880
working. 
I haven't stopped it for names. 

168
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:38,120
Let's see. 
Makes the queer. 

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,280
Who is it? 
Just tell me. 

170
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:43,760
It is Sasha Bublik. 
I should have said that. 

171
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,400
Oh my God I love Bublik. 
Love, love him. 

172
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480
I didn't know that he switched. 
I thought he always started I. 

173
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,000
Didn't either. 
Yeah, yeah, no saying yeah, he's

174
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,640
exact same as Rebecca. 
He didn't get the support that 

175
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,960
he wanted from Russia, so he 
went to Kazakhstan. 

176
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,120
And yeah, he's like a chess 
player. 

177
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,720
And he's just like, I, I know 
that there are potentially 

178
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480
problematic politics with him, 
but honestly, with everyone in 

179
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,440
the ATP, there's problematic 
politics. 

180
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:10,760
But he's got so many. 
Like he's such a charmer. 

181
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,920
He's such a quirky dude. 
And I loved him at the French. 

182
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,360
Open. 
He's so weird. 

183
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Yeah, I fucking love a weirdo. 
OK, last dad of Who's your 

184
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,680
daddy? 
We're we're one for 2, so we got

185
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,280
to get this one. 
OK? 

186
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,960
This one has got a tattoo of a 
quote from Samuel Beckett on his

187
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,840
forearm. 
Well, let's see. 

188
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Curious as Oscar Wilde on his 
leg. 

189
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Does he really? 
What quote? 

190
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,040
Like some bitchy quote. 
No, it's like something about 

191
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,200
identity. 
OK, I don't know. 

192
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,600
Who's his tattoo? 
Samuel by Who knows? 

193
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,600
OK, next one. 
Can I guess the quote is it fail

194
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,520
better? 
Yes. 

195
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,800
OK, lots of people have that 
tattoo, so yeah. 

196
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,240
I got it. 
That's a that. 

197
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Yeah. 
Ever tried? 

198
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,600
Ever failed? 
No matter. 

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,560
Fail again. 
Fail again. 

200
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,400
Try again, Fail again. 
Yes, yes, failed better. 

201
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,200
God, I failed at reading that. 
I'm living that tattoo. 

202
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,080
So he's had public feuds with 
both Nick Kurios and Hulgaruna. 

203
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Let's see, Djokovic is still 
computed with curios. 

204
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,720
The guy who did curios to say 
that he slept with his 

205
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,400
girlfriends. 
Is it him? 

206
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:27,680
Oh shit, don't worryka. 
Is it Warika? 

207
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,520
Is that? 
Your best. 

208
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,320
It's Stan Vavrinka. 
Yes, yes. 

209
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,360
I got the PO2 I'm so happy. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

210
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600
I know he when when he played 
Curious and they had a really 

211
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,880
contentious handshake. 
And Curious is like talking 

212
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,760
about cockonakis. 
He's like, yeah, the cock fucked

213
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,840
your girl, which is just so 
charming. 

214
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,680
Yeah, by the way, bookmarking 
It's Tennis Feuds episode coming

215
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:58,400
up. 
Oh, OK, call Ryan Murphy. 

216
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:01,160
We've got feud. 
We've got the next season of 

217
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,800
feud. 
Yes, totally amazing. 

218
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,320
So you. 
Win what, 2 out of 3/2? 

219
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Out of three the next clue, 
which I love Pervo Vrinko, was 

220
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,040
that he wore the ugliest shorts 
ever on the way to winning the 

221
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,840
French Open. 
Please. 

222
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,320
There's checkered shorts. 
Yeah, yeah, I got. 

223
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Checkered shorts. 
What a. 

224
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,560
What an that. 
Was Yannick Shorts? 

225
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,880
Yeah, yeah. 
OK. 

226
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,960
So that was who's your daddy? 
Congratulations to Ivy. 

227
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,560
Well played. 
You win for Father's Day. 

228
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,120
You're you're going to win a 
pair of socks. 

229
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,360
So. 
Great, I can grill. 

230
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,520
My prize will be a tie. 
Yeah, exactly. 

231
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,840
OK, so now that we've warmed up 
a little bit, we're going to 

232
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,720
move on to a just a quick 
discussion. 

233
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,360
We're calling founding fathers, 
and this is about the big four. 

234
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:50,760
So the big four, they dominated 
tennis for so long, for decades,

235
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,560
that of course they had some 
kids along the way. 

236
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,840
And if we look at the rankings 
in terms of number of kids, it's

237
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,360
kind of neck and neck. 
Two of the big four have 4 kids.

238
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,880
That's Murray and Federer. 
I had no idea that Murray had 

239
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960
that many kids until you read 
the run of the show. 

240
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,440
I just didn't know that. 
Yeah, yeah. 

241
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,080
And he's got three daughters and
a son. 

242
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,880
I he's such a good girl dad. 
Like I, I think it's great 

243
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,080
because he's such a feminist. 
Oh, but I told you though, I 

244
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,040
want to make T-shirts that say 
Andy Murray, tennis feminist on 

245
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,040
them. 
Oh, that's good. 

246
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,040
The The second choice is Andy 
Murray tennis lesbian because. 

247
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,680
A little bad energy too. 
Oh, that is, see, I, I always 

248
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,640
want to go a little further and 
I that that is tennis lesbian 

249
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,480
'cause he is such a tennis 
lesbian. 

250
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,760
That might have to be like a new
seven lesbian. 

251
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,200
Yeah, that's like, just like. 
A bride isn't a bride last week.

252
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,240
Yeah, the whole goddamn month is
pride. 

253
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,200
So you know, Andy Murray, we 
celebrate you and your tennis 

254
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,080
lesbianism and and also it's 
cool. 

255
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,720
I think Queens is going on right
now and they just renamed the 

256
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,960
court after Andy Murray, which 
is awesome. 

257
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,200
We're not going to talk about 
any actual tennis today, but. 

258
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,960
No, but that's the Queen's Cup 
tennis lesbian. 

259
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,040
I feel it's all coming together.
Girl. 

260
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,600
Yeah, exactly which tournament 
does he get 100 at Queens? 

261
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,200
OK, Queen news. 
Yeah, we love that. 

262
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,160
It's a ladies event this week 
too, so like, she's such a 

263
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,200
tennis lesbian. 
He is in heaven. 

264
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,320
He's in heaven. 
And it's like, I love that for 

265
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,480
him and for us and for the WTA, 
for the other BIG4, we've got 

266
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Federer, who's got somehow he 
has two sets of twins. 

267
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,840
He had girls in 2009 and boys in
2014. 

268
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,240
Then we got Novak, who's got a 
son and a daughter. 

269
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:38,400
The son is already 10. 
So in basketball we've got 

270
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,200
LeBron James and his son playing
for the Lakers together. 

271
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680
I just wonder, I mean, maybe 
this kid is not old enough yet 

272
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,960
or Novak is too old. 
But like some they're we're 

273
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,200
going to have like a double S 
team sometime in the next 10 to 

274
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,800
15 years. 
That's going to be a dad and a 

275
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,400
son. 
I just know it's coming, like, 

276
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,120
you know, maybe it's going to 
be. 

277
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,560
It's clearly going to be hailed 
with Fritz and his son. 

278
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,280
It seems like 5 with that 
symptom score. 

279
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,320
Exactly. 
Yeah. 

280
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Or well, Mousetti is just 
pumping him out. 

281
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,600
So, you know, we've got we've 
got a couple of youngsters who 

282
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,960
are who are big baby daddies. 
And then we've got Rafa, who's 

283
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:16,040
got one son, such a cutie during
that final ceremony when we all 

284
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240
wept and we were all just like 
watching that and like the the 

285
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,040
son was like, I'm going to just 
be two years old and like give 

286
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,240
high fives to the big four. 
Like that was so cool. 

287
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,120
Interestingly, though, he's the 
only one of the big four who 

288
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,880
named his son after him. 
So it's Rafa Junior. 

289
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,280
I was surprised by that. 
I'm still surprised Novak didn't

290
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,080
call his son Novak, but that's 
just. 

291
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720
Oh, I'm just surprised he gave 
him a what is it something? 

292
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Stefan. 
Yeah, that's pretty normal for 

293
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,800
Novak. 
Yeah. 

294
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,880
Who knows what he's gonna name 
it like after. 

295
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Like a planet no one's ever 
heard of. 

296
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Yeah, yeah. 
Or like some like like that Musk

297
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,400
name that was like a equation. 
Yeah, yeah. 

298
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,680
After like a creatine powder. 
Yeah, exactly. 

299
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,800
Or like whatever that orb was 
that he had attached to his 

300
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,120
chest for whatever. 
Yeah. 

301
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,920
I mean, he's got, he's got a lot
of things that could inspire her

302
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,840
name. 
The daughter's name is Tara, 

303
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,640
which is kind of an interesting 
name for like a Serbian. 

304
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,680
I don't know if that's common. 
Tara. 

305
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,680
It's. 
Kind of. 

306
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,680
I don't think so. 
Tara Djokovic. 

307
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,800
It's a good tennis name. 
Tara Djokovic. 

308
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,280
Yeah, Oh yeah, get her on. 
Court Stefan Djokovic stuff. 

309
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,680
It's not like a tennis player, 
but Tara Djokovic does. 

310
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Yeah. 
We'll have my Serbian tennis 

311
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,600
friend Peter Megler weigh in on 
Leopard Tara as a Almond Serbian

312
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,040
name. 
Yeah, Peter, let us know in the 

313
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,040
comments and we'll report back. 
So there's the big Four. 

314
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Do you have any thoughts on any 
of them as a dad or like who's 

315
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,480
your favorite of the big four 
dads? 

316
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,120
Oh, it's funny. 
I mean, I've never, I've never 

317
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,440
seen Murray with his kids. 
You know, they don't really come

318
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,640
around a lot. 
Yeah. 

319
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,680
So I mean, when you're sending 
it that many, I was kind of 

320
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,720
shocked. 
And that doesn't mean he's a bad

321
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,520
dad because maybe he's like, I 
don't want these kids having to 

322
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,760
schlep to, you know, all these 
tournaments or in the spotlight.

323
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,880
He's super normal. 
I was very surprised by how well

324
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440
I responded to the doll being a 
dad. 

325
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,400
Like, he seems to love that kid.
I think the doll did something 

326
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,080
smart. 
He had that kid at the end of 

327
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,120
his career when he wasn't like 
sacrificing a whole bunch of 

328
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,920
time with him. 
He seemed really into his kid. 

329
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960
I think Djokovic is actually a 
great dad, too. 

330
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440
When I see with this kid, you 
can tell he loves those kids. 

331
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Like he really, as much as you 
don't, people don't like 

332
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,400
Djokovic when he sees himself as
kid, he's super enthusiastic. 

333
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,400
Better. 
I don't know, man. 

334
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,240
Like there's always been, I 
mean, it's twins, you know, 

335
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040
there's something really weird 
there about the two twins and 

336
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,000
the girls like a wife. 
It's very, it's so I mean, it's 

337
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,920
probably IVF, right? 
Like, yeah, you know, but 

338
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,400
there's something clinical about
that marriage, that twin, that 

339
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800
big. 
Like, there's something uncanny 

340
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,920
going on in that whole family 
situation. 

341
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,960
You know, that seems not as 
heartwarming to me as when I saw

342
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,680
the dog walk out with his son or
Jonkovic is cooling down on the 

343
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,160
bike and his kid is running 
around. 

344
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,839
It doesn't seem to be as like, I
don't know, organically joyful? 

345
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,000
I get that. 
It's interesting. 

346
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,720
I mean, Novak and I even 
admitted this on the last 

347
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,720
episode, which I'm still ashamed
of. 

348
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,640
But during his loss in the semis
to to Sinner, I almost started 

349
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,680
rooting for Novak because I was 
just like, whoa, he's getting 

350
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,560
green. 
But but for Novak, you know, the

351
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,520
things that that he loves are 
country and family. 

352
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,000
And so he is, he loves those 
kids and he's he's a good dad. 

353
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,080
I mean, they're all, I'm sure 
they're all freaking amazing 

354
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,320
dads. 
And honestly, even if they 

355
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,320
weren't great dads, they're all 
worth well north of 100 million.

356
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,840
So I'd be happy to be their son,
even if that dad was not very 

357
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,560
good. 
So good. 

358
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,240
Congratulations, someone else to
do it. 

359
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Yeah, please. 
Money. 

360
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:58,640
Money is money is a good parent.
It's fine, all right. 

361
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Think about the rest of the 
tour. 

362
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560
So you mentioned Danielle 
Medvedev, who we all we, you and

363
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,440
I, are we in love with? 
He's a girl dad. 

364
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,880
What is? 
Oh my God, he's with this little

365
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,440
girl. 
Oh, I love it. 

366
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,000
That's when I really fell in 
love with Medvedev for the 

367
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,880
second time. 
Just like, even when he has a 

368
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,400
bad loss, he'll close an 
Instagram video of him like a 

369
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,240
heavy ice cream or do he 
suddenly got a girly with a 

370
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,680
stamp like playing with a doll 
or whatever, Like so you know, 

371
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,760
he just it's so sweet. 
He he also really likes that 

372
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,440
kitten. 
He likes his family a lot. 

373
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,560
He likes to be with his family. 
It's so clear. 

374
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Yeah, And it's funny 'cause it's
a little like, I don't know if 

375
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960
it's like watching Shrek learn 
how to be loving. 

376
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,360
I don't immediately think of him
as a great girl dad, but I think

377
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,120
that she, like, softened him in 
a weird way. 

378
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:42,760
And like, his weirdness and 
cookiness is really, like, 

379
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,120
balanced by this cherubic, 
adorable little. 

380
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,840
Yeah. 
He, he posts her on Instagram 

381
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,880
and she's just the cutest little
nugget. 

382
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,320
So yeah. 
Yeah. 

383
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,680
Yeah, it's funny that it's real 
saying all these like how cute 

384
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,720
they are with their kids. 
They're just like the mom I 

385
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,200
said, like sitting in the 
audience watching with the kids 

386
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,720
with Daniel Madden goes to give 
her an ice and we're like, oh, 

387
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,240
it's so cute. 
Yeah, but it is really cute. 

388
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:08,280
Well, that I mean, that's that. 
That's the, the weird, not 

389
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,760
funny, but like funny in like 
the weird sense dichotomy here 

390
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,360
where moms, they have to go on 
maternity leave for six months, 

391
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,360
nine months, 12 months, come 
back. 

392
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,920
Then even when they're on tour, 
that kid is going with them 

393
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,920
breastfeeding or not 
breastfeeding, but like being 

394
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,880
cared for and not. 
So the dads, it's like, yeah, I 

395
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,960
stayed home with them for a 
couple weeks and now I'm back. 

396
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,400
And then I I'll come out and 
I'll give them ice cream and I 

397
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,840
am the best dad in the world. 
It's it's. 

398
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,920
Exactly. 
And these two weirdos in America

399
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,160
are going to talk about. 
Me and like how much how great I

400
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:44,160
am well and we've got so another
dad that I think is I I want to 

401
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,720
highlight is GAIL Monfis, he and
Svidolina. 

402
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,200
What a dad. 
Yeah, daughter named Sky and 

403
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:58,160
spelled SKAI, which is cool. 
And they don't post Sky's face 

404
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,360
very much so I don't actually 
know if maybe she's not cute, 

405
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:07,720
but I have a feeling she's cute.
It's funny, this isn't Osakis. 

406
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:15,000
Good Shai. 
Oh, let's see, we'll talk about 

407
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,600
moms for one second. 
Yeah. 

408
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,680
Shai God, look at that shy and 
sky. 

409
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,520
It's. 
It's just me bringing the spell 

410
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,520
into the ball boys again, 
because we got the Elon Nolai 

411
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,640
and now we've got to say Sky. 
Yeah, No, there are Da Vinci 

412
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,640
Code moments. 
Well, and I can't wait in in 17 

413
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,920
years when Shy and Sky face off 
against each other in the 

414
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,560
quarterfinals of Wimbledon. 
So because and actually that 

415
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,480
leads to the next segment. 
It's called dad jeans. 

416
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,720
That's GENES. 
Because everyone's been talking 

417
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,400
about this massive generational 
wealth transfer that's going on 

418
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,080
between like the boomers and the
rest of generations. 

419
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,160
But what about the generational 
transfer of tennis talent that's

420
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,280
going on? 
We're seeing former players, 

421
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,080
former male players transferring
it to their sons. 

422
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,720
So we've got Peter Korda, 
Australian Open champion from 

423
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,240
the 90s, and his son Sebastian 
Korda, who will know American, 

424
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,840
who somehow still ranked in the 
top 30 even though he wins one 

425
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,120
thing a year. 
Which I never see him, but he's 

426
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:21,160
still ragged. 24 you. 
Know yeah, and he's just wearing

427
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,320
that same headband and he just 
kind of like he plays OK but 

428
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,200
yeah, somehow I think I think he
had a really good grass season 

429
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,880
so he's either going to stay or 
tumble out starting right. 

430
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,360
Now, and his sister's like the 
best golfer in the world. 

431
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,520
What a family. 
I can't do golf. 

432
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,720
I do not. 
I cannot. 

433
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,240
It's it's not golf. 
No, this is a writer, not a 

434
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,560
golfer. 
Yeah, yeah. 

435
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,760
We also have Christian Rude. 
He's the father of Castro Rude. 

436
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:54,000
And we've got people like Brian 
Shelton, who waited to 55 in the

437
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,960
world, and now he's Ben 
Shelton's dad, obviously Ben's 

438
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,800
coach. 
Ben Shelton, by the way, just 

439
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,040
cracked the top 10 for the first
time, and not in that funny, 

440
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,720
like, live rankings where he's 
going to fall back down like 

441
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,880
he's going to be top 10 on 
Monday, which is, yeah, great. 

442
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,920
Good for him. 
He's played well this this 

443
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,360
tournament. 
I watched it like 2 matches. 

444
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,320
But we're not. 
We're not talking about tennis. 

445
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,000
No tennis talk on this tennis 
podcast, ma'am, Sorry. 

446
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,360
No, it's great for him. 
And it's funny, 'cause you and 

447
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:21,760
I, we had that conversation, 3 
or 4 shows, He went like, who's 

448
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,880
going to break to the top ten? 
And we were like, is it going to

449
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,960
be Musetti or Draper or Shelton?
And now they've all made it into

450
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,360
the top 10. 
Yeah, clearly he lives. 

451
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,400
The people who left the top ten 
are the likes of Rublev. 

452
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Sorry dude, Medvedev tumbled out
and so it's all the Russians 

453
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,680
they are rushing out of that top
ten. 

454
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:49,680
I'm curious though, who do we 
think is going to sire the next 

455
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,600
Grand Slam champion? 
What former player is going to 

456
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,360
create like the next winner? 
I'll just give you an example 

457
00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:58,880
because maybe I'm not asking the
question in a very smart way, 

458
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,280
but I was thinking someone who 
like had their career cut short,

459
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,520
like Delpo, like Juan Martin del
Potro, he's got a kid. 

460
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,200
I was just going to say, I was 
just going to say me and Juan 

461
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,560
Martin del Potro are going to 
sign the next three on Slam 

462
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,040
Champion, but you took it out of
my mouth. 

463
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Well, I didn't have you in the 
mix, so that's that's a whole 

464
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,480
another level. 
Juan Martin, sorry your wife is 

465
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,720
going to have to chill. 
We're going to get this 48 year 

466
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,840
old lady baby with you. 
Well, he started the tennis 

467
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Academy so that's that's 
definitely a thing. 

468
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,840
I will be there for every one of
his matches. 

469
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,920
Oh, 100 percent, 100%. 
Well, I, I feel like Juan 

470
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,640
Martine is going to like, he's 
like, I'll protect this baby's 

471
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,840
wrists with everything I have in
my life. 

472
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,040
Like it's just like he's going 
to like, OK. 

473
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
You forgot. 
You forgot the dad kid 

474
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,760
combination. 
Leighton Hewitt. 

475
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,400
Oh, Oh my God, his son is like 
kind of a doesn't. 

476
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,360
He have a kid who's yeah, and 
he's good, like, and he's young 

477
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:04,560
like, you know, it's like 4847. 
Yeah. 

478
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,200
That that's when I bet him. 
What's his name like Suri 

479
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,600
Cruise? 
What's his son's name? 

480
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,960
I don't know. 
He got in trouble. 

481
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:15,960
He practiced with Sinner, and 
then Curious went after him. 

482
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,720
Remember that? 
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 

483
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840
And like, Leighton was like, why
are you going after my kid? 

484
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,120
Yeah, yeah. 
Cruz Hewitt. 

485
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,360
That's why I was thinking Siri 
Cruz. 

486
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,760
Yeah. 
Cruz Hewitt. 

487
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,560
You know I. 
Think it'll be, I think it might

488
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,120
be one of these players who are 
coaching like Moya or Juan 

489
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:38,600
Carlos Ferraro, like somebody is
out there, you know, coaching a 

490
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,880
top player and has a kid who's 
like, hey, center, you know, 

491
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,000
wanna hit with junior, Yeah. 
Oh, yeah, someone who's like 

492
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
coaching them and like in the 
mix and someone who's like, hey,

493
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,760
Novak, come and hit with my kid.
Hey, Serena, come hit with my 

494
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,280
kid. 
Yeah, yeah, totally. 

495
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,760
What about like a Tommy Hans 
Tommy? 

496
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,320
Hans. 
Yeah. 

497
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,880
Once Tommy cut that hair. 
Oh, just a dreamboat. 

498
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,360
Good for Tommy. 
Yeah, Yeah. 

499
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:07,800
All right. 
Well, we will see. 

500
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,320
So hey, we're going to have to 
check in kind of every year or 

501
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,880
so about hey, which dad has 
created the next Grand Slam 

502
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,800
champ, but but we'll let you 
know. 

503
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,280
We'll get back to you in 16 
years or the next time Cruz 

504
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,160
Hewitt qualifies for major. 
He's going to make a run. 

505
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,480
He's like the he's like the 
Route Ikanu of 2029. 

506
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,000
It's going to happen, yeah. 
Yeah. 

507
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:42,120
And now we're going to move on 
to Major Dad, which was not only

508
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:47,520
a hilarious sitcom in the 90s 
and early 2000s, but also we're 

509
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,680
going to talk about how some 
mothers, you know, they come 

510
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,880
back as tops and they make deep 
runs. 

511
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,320
They get to new levels of 
winning, and so do some dads. 

512
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,880
So I want to talk about just 
dads who come back from having 

513
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,680
kids, you know, that arduous 
paternity leave and they win 

514
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,040
slams. 
And so we've got a couple of 

515
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,440
examples. 
So Jimmy Connors, you know, we 

516
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,600
never talk about Jimmy on this 
pod, but Jimmy Connors, what a 

517
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,160
character. 
He won three grand slams after 

518
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,400
becoming a dad. 
So that's that's pretty good. 

519
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,400
But I feel like he also like 
chain smoked and had whiskey 

520
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,040
like while playing so. 
Yeah, totally about. 

521
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,880
He's like the Pete Rose of 
tennis. 

522
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,480
He looks like Pete Rose too. 
Yeah. 

523
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,800
Yeah. 
You think she's a good dad to be

524
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,560
cons? 
Oh no, no, I'm just saying I 

525
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,400
didn't. 
I'm not talking about whether 

526
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,480
he's. 
A good dad to say. 

527
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,600
Yeah, he did. 
He won three Grand Slams after 

528
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,560
becoming a dad 'cause you know, 
the whole thing, Like on the 

529
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,480
mom's side, everyone was holding
their breath for Serena to win 

530
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,360
one more fucking goddamn Grand 
Slam after becoming a mother, 

531
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,240
and it never happened. 
But for Cloisters, she came back

532
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320
and kind of cleaned up the 
trophy room. 

533
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,520
So, you know, on the men's side.
So we also have Agassi, who won 

534
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,040
a couple of Australian Opens 
after having his first kid, and 

535
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,680
then Novak won seventeen of his 
24 grand slams after having his 

536
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,000
first kid. 
Whoa, Talk about powering up 

537
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,400
from being a daddy. 
Or I guess he just really didn't

538
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,400
want to change diapers. 
I don't know. 

539
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,440
But he was just like, no, I'm 
locked in even more. 

540
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,400
Leave me alone, Stefan. 
And, you know, And then like you

541
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,160
said before, yeah, Rafa, you 
know, he had a kid. 

542
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,080
And then I don't know if his 
figure never bounced back, but 

543
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,280
yeah, he never won another major
after having a kid, you know 

544
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,280
what about? 
Federer. 

545
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,040
Federer never. 
No, not after having kids. 

546
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,040
Oh, wait, no, sorry. 
That's so wrong. 

547
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,960
He had his kids in 2009. 
Yeah, he won. 

548
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760
He won several. 
Sorry, that was that was my 

549
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,240
mistake. 
What am I, ChatGPT? 

550
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,480
Oh, here's the question. 
Who is going to be the next dad 

551
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,880
to win a Grand Slam? 
Which which player? 

552
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,920
They could have a kid right now.
It could be like Mousetti 

553
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,960
winning Wimbledon. 
I'm just curious, like what 

554
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,520
Dad's going to win the Grand 
Slam next? 

555
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,960
I mean, the obvious choices know
that Bennington, Walker do. 

556
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,600
You think he has a shot? 
Of all the dads, Yeah. 

557
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,440
Like it's not, not of all the 
tennis players. 

558
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,200
We have a very small playing 
field there. 

559
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,040
I don't think GAIL Montes is 
winning a major. 

560
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,640
Yeah, Musati for sure, but I 
don't think he's going to win. 

561
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,280
What? 
I mean, he played really well 

562
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,360
against Alcaraz. 
So yeah, I think there's a 

563
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:30,360
pretty yeah, Musetti. 
Hey, outside chance to Fritz, 

564
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,920
but no. 
Yeah, I was thinking about Fritz

565
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,520
for this. 
Brusetti is better than Fritz, I

566
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,840
think, in this particular 
challenge, yeah, he's surging. 

567
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Fritz isn't going to get better,
you know, if he has what he is. 

568
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,280
Lusetti's what's? 
What's Lusetti? 

569
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,120
Like 20 or something? 
Yeah, I know. 

570
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,880
Even though he's got so many 
kids, he's. 

571
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,360
Yeah, he's very he's. 
Six kids. 

572
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,760
Yeah, those Italians, they do 
it. 

573
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280
But does he not know how? 
Does he not know how babies are 

574
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,000
made? 
Like stop having babies, 

575
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,840
Musetti. 
Look, you know, the Pope was 

576
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,200
like, no. 
And he's like, OK, Well, the 

577
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520
thing with Musetti, though, the 
thing that worries about about 

578
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,080
Musetti is as much as I love A1 
handed backhand, I don't love 

579
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,920
his. 
And I think that he's never 

580
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,640
going to be able to overpower a 
Sinner or a Alcaraz with that 

581
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,440
one hander. 
He needs, he needs a clear path 

582
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,160
like he needs one of them not to
play or to get injured and then 

583
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,120
have a good day, you know? 
Yeah, I don't think Fritz is 

584
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,760
doing it, you know. 
I think if Fritz just locks in 

585
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,840
his serve, like he can eek it 
out. 

586
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,360
Like eek it out. 
Oh yeah, it's. 

587
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,200
How about Stitzapas and Bedosa 
have a kid as you predicted, and

588
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,920
then he wins a major? 
I would love that 'cause then I 

589
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,880
would, you know, we can have 
like all the predictions rolled 

590
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,280
into one. 
But yeah, I mean, I think 

591
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,520
they're going to have a kid any 
minute now. 

592
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,000
It's it's, it is written in her 
Mris where she's just, her back 

593
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,920
is just done. 
So yeah, yeah. 

594
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,880
What about Medvedev though? 
Like is Medvedev cooked? 

595
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,800
Is he done? 
Like he just lost today. 

596
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,120
Right. 
You know he would be obvious 

597
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,800
choice. 
I don't know how I missed that. 

598
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,160
He was pretty good at Indian 
Wells, as we talked about, 

599
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,640
right. 
He lost in the semis, but then 

600
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,880
he lost in the first round of 
Miami and it's. 

601
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,680
Been a slip and slide since 
then. 

602
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,880
It's really. 
How old do we think Diaz? 

603
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,240
Like 30? 
Oh. 

604
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,320
I was going to say like 29, 
which is a huge difference. 

605
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:38,040
I'm going to look it up. 
He's 20. 9 I mean, as we all 

606
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,200
know without talking about 
tennis, there's a very 

607
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,400
impressive tennis match played 
past weekend. 

608
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,960
And the level of that match was 
not the level of any of the 

609
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,960
people we're talking about by a 
very long shot. 

610
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,760
Not that those two players 
could, will always play that 

611
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,160
level, but I think they'll bring
it for the most part in the 

612
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,840
majors. 
So unless Carlos has a love 

613
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:11,880
child out there, it's Djokovic. 
Yeah, who? 

614
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,160
OK, this is complete 
speculation. 

615
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,280
I'm not even sure if this is 
like a good question, but who's 

616
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:23,800
going to have a kid first, 
Sinner or Alcaraz Sinner. 

617
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,960
Interesting because of the 
Italian. 

618
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,480
Have you ever heard of Alcaraz? 
No, Have you ever heard of 

619
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,000
Alcaraz having a girlfriend? 
This is true. 

620
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,600
He's just a party boy. 
He's just got back from Ibiza. 

621
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,960
Yeah. 
I thought I first, I I heard he 

622
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,520
likes Miami. 
Yeah, yeah. 

623
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,040
And Sinner had Kellen Skya and 
he got somebody else. 

624
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Sinner's like a serial dater, 
very very posh and Prof I can 

625
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,280
see Sinner having a young. 
Yeah, OK, OK, so with that mind,

626
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,520
yeah, with that in mind, I'm 
going to say that the next dad 

627
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,000
who wins a Grand Slam is going 
to be Yannick Sinner. 

628
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,040
So yeah, again. 
Where's he got to get married 

629
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,000
then she's got to go Friday and 
check it in 10 years. 

630
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,960
Yeah, exactly. 
Well, you know, we're, we'll 

631
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,240
keep you posted, everybody. 
Like, I know we've got to like 

632
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,160
we've got a lot of results that 
we'll be tracking outside of 

633
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,160
just actual tennis. 
But that's the fun stuff. 

634
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,440
And, you know, we're here to 
celebrate dads, even if they're 

635
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,360
not a dad yet. 
So congratulations, Yonic 

636
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,920
Center. 
You were the next dad. 

637
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,840
Who's going to win? 
Dad watch. 

638
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:31,080
OK. 2072. 
My favorite night at the Eagle 

639
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:36,560
is Dad Watch OK and my favorite 
TV show. 

640
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,120
In which we in which we watch 
Yonic Center become a father. 

641
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,920
Well, I feel like he's not very 
eagle. 

642
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,040
He's more like Akbar. 
But yes, yes, 100% OK. 

643
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,040
No, he's so. 
He's so reho like some. 

644
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840
He's Reho. 
He's not Akbar. 

645
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,720
He's like some boring Rio 
bougie. 

646
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,040
He's Palm Springs. 
Yeah, I mean, he's basically 

647
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,480
wears A kaftan out to the court 
anyway. 

648
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,200
Did you see him? 
He showed up today at some 

649
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,160
tournament or maybe Queens or 
something. 

650
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,800
I saw him get out of a car or 
just like randomly on Instagram 

651
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,120
or on TV on the Tennis Channel, 
and he was just wearing like a 

652
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,160
head to toe light blue sweat 
suit. 

653
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,160
It was like a Juicy Couture suit
from, you know, 15 years ago. 

654
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:22,840
I was. 
Like what are you like he's? 

655
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,800
He's still Palm Springs. 
You're so right. 

656
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:26,960
Yeah. 
Though, is it? 

657
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,160
I'm sorry, but we get to be 
bother, let me tell you. 

658
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,960
Is this a conversation in which 
if Yonic Sinner was a gay bar 

659
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,560
with what he be, that's what 
we're discussing? 

660
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,760
I think this is going on 
Instagram. 

661
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,240
We need a vote of like, OK, 
which gay bar is Yonic Sinner? 

662
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Is he Akbar? 
Is he the eagle? 

663
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Is he, you know, Mickey's in 
West Hollywood or is he Palm 

664
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,280
Springs? 
Yeah. 

665
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,640
In the tropical in Palm Springs.
Yes, I love the tropical. 

666
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,800
So it will be. 
I vote that. 

667
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,920
Try the ribs. 
If Yannick Sinner was a gay bar.

668
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,320
Yeah, yeah. 
Oh, and he would just call it 

669
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,120
sinners. 
I would go to sinners. 

670
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,720
Me too. 
Hello. 

671
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,640
Hello. 
God, he's going to market 

672
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,639
himself better. 
Yeah, seriously. 

673
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:11,800
OK, Yannick, let's talk. 
We're on this. 

674
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:16,080
Ivy's opening a gay bar while 
she's out in Indian Wells called

675
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,840
Sinners. 
OK, we are going to move on. 

676
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,840
We got two more quick segments 
that we're just going to get 

677
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,719
through. 
We're going to play a game. 

678
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,639
And so this game is called Dad, 
Daddy or Dandy. 

679
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:33,679
It's kind of like Mary Fuck Kill
where I have I have put 69 men's

680
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:38,080
names into a randomizer, put 69 
men into a randomizer, which 

681
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,199
again is my favorite night at 
the Eagle. 

682
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,639
And we're going to pull out 
three names and we're about to 

683
00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:47,159
decide is is he dad? 
Is he daddy or is he dandy? 

684
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:51,040
So dad is like the nice guy, 
like hey, dad, Daddy is the hot 

685
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,800
1, Like, oh, hey, daddy and 
dandy is well, you know, the one

686
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,200
with a little bit of flair. 
Maybe you know, the the Wendy 

687
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,160
Williams side eye, like, oh, Are
you sure? 

688
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,520
So let's play Dad. 
The Yannick Center in a blue 

689
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,320
sack suit. 
Exactly. 

690
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,720
That's that's a little dandy. 
So all right, so I've got my 

691
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,960
randomizer. 
Add it up and we're just gonna 

692
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,080
see. 
And this is a full on like crap 

693
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:22,520
shoot of 69 men. 
OK, so we've got yeah, Oh yeah, 

694
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,920
it's called random.org and. 
I know what that is. 

695
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,760
Yeah, totally. 
Yeah, yeah. 

696
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,720
Oh, OK. 
We'll see how this goes. 

697
00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:33,680
OK. 
Don't know the first. 

698
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:38,280
So we've got we've got Rafael 
Nadal, we've got Mats Vilander 

699
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,640
and we've got Bjorn Borg. 
Which one is Dad, which one's 

700
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,720
daddy, and which one's dandy? 
Three. 

701
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,920
OK, OK. 
It's like marry, fuck, kill. 

702
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,960
Who is this? 
Who so? 

703
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,080
That's B Lander's dad. 
Yeah, nice guy. 

704
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,720
Nadal, although I don't really 
care for it, is probably daddy. 

705
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,280
Is there people out there who 
think that? 

706
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,560
Yeah. 
Holberg is definitely dandy with

707
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,080
the East. 
Have the underwear line, the 

708
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,000
short shorts, the style. 
Yeah, that one's great for me. 

709
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,760
Yeah, I totally agree. 
I totally agree. 

710
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,360
Yeah, I was thinking like, 
maybe, maybe Rafa was dandy, but

711
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,960
no, like when I think about 
Bjorg, he was always with like 

712
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,080
the headbands and the style. 
Yeah, he's got his old fashioned

713
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,080
company too. 
He's an underwear company in 

714
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,560
Europe. 
And no, he's, no, he's a style 

715
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:25,200
icon. 
Borg. 

716
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,560
Yeah, OK, that one was too easy.
OK, we're going to randomize 

717
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,760
again. 
We're going to randomize again. 

718
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:33,720
OK, I don't like these. 
I'm going to randomize again. 

719
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:42,520
Oh, OK, We've got Pete Sampras, 
Feliciano Lopez and Boris 

720
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,960
Becker. 
OK, Felicio Lopez is daddy to 

721
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,120
the Max. 
Oh, he's so Daddy. 

722
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,920
Is so Daddy Stampris is dad, of 
course. 

723
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,320
And you know who? 
Who was it? 

724
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,720
So Becker is dandy. 
In fact, yeah, Becker is 

725
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,320
stylish. 
I mean, not anymore. 

726
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,680
There's no other way to do this.
And just there, Yeah, No, I mean

727
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:07,560
Becker. 
Is. 

728
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,080
Daddy Becker back in the day. 
Yeah, Lopez back her back in the

729
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,080
day, please. 
Yeah. 

730
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,720
No, it's, it's, I mean, Lopez, 
that man. 

731
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:19,560
We should only do them from back
in the day. 

732
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,800
We have to compare them a 
thoroughly peak. 

733
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,120
Yeah, yeah. 
Well, hey, some people out there

734
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,440
love a a daddy like a, you know,
man of a certain age. 

735
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,720
So hey, like I look Feliciano 
Lopez today, yesterday and 

736
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:35,320
tomorrow. 
And tomorrow, and on his 

737
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:36,920
deathbed. 
On. 

738
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,320
On in his grave. 
No, no. 

739
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,120
OK. 
To Paul. 

740
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,200
I went too far. 
Wait, he's somebody's father. 

741
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:47,240
OK. 
Oh, I love this one. 

742
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:54,440
We've got John McEnroe, Michael 
Chang, Roger Federer. 

743
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:54,880
No. 
Oh, yes. 

744
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,160
Well, Michael Chang is Dad, 
right? 

745
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,120
Michael Chang, is dad OK? 
Yeah. 

746
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,160
He gets not the other ones, no. 
OK. 

747
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:14,360
John McEnroe. 
So Federer is daddy and McEnroe 

748
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,600
is Dan? 
Is dandy. 

749
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,880
See, I would have flipped them. 
Why is McEnroe dandy? 

750
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Because he's just kind of like 
a. 

751
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,400
Because I'd rather have sex with
Roger Federer. 

752
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,680
This is fair, this. 
Is fair. 

753
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,000
You can't argue with that one. 
No, the I I get, I don't know if

754
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,240
anybody watched McEnroe called 
the Zverev match, but Zverev 

755
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,040
does not have 4 syllables in his
last name. 

756
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,600
He got Zverev. 
I was just like, can you stop? 

757
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,400
Can you? 
It's just Zverev. 

758
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,320
It's just your mouth can do 
that. 

759
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,840
OK, We're going to do one more. 
Yeah, He can do this all day. 

760
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,360
I know. 
Seriously. 

761
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,600
Like, this is like, yeah, stay 
for like the two hours behind 

762
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,800
the scenes. 
Yeah. 

763
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,240
Oh, OK. 2:00 in the morning. 
Do we like this one? 

764
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:04,560
OK, we've got James Blake, we've
got Leighton Hewitt and we've 

765
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,480
got Jim Courier. 
Your face is it all? 

766
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,960
I know someone who hooked up 
with James Blake. 

767
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,880
How was he? 
No, we don't. 

768
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,880
We don't ask questions like 
that. 

769
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,280
How was he? 
He gave him a blowjob. 

770
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:34,840
Jane cut. 
So let's see, Jim Courier, I 

771
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,000
can't do another one. 
I cannot do this one. 

772
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:38,440
You can't do this one. 
OK, OK. 

773
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,280
OK also, especially Layton 
Hewitt's a weird homophobe, so I

774
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,320
just can't put him in this one. 
All right, all right. 

775
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,600
Oh, this one's easy. 
Probably Murat Saffen, John 

776
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,560
Isner, Andy Murray. 
Look, I know. 

777
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,960
I believe. 
Well, I mean. 

778
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,640
His nurse got to be dad, I mean.
Yeah, yeah, 'cause he's got no, 

779
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,160
none of the other. 
Two pie sauce. 

780
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,320
Yeah. 
OK, so we got Murray and we got.

781
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,720
Murat. 
What is it? 

782
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,680
Murat Saffin. 
He's daddy, Daddy. 

783
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,920
Yeah. 
Yes, and then Murray is dandy. 

784
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,040
Andy Murray? 
Yeah, I guess he's a lesbian. 

785
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,400
He's a lesbian, he's a fucking, 
he's a super driving, you know, 

786
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,680
lady lovin lesbian. 
Yeah, yeah. 

787
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,400
He's a lesbian. 
Yeah. 

788
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Oh, I love this game. 
Yeah, you're right. 

789
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,560
I could play this. 
I could. 

790
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,680
I could. 
Like, because we got there's 

791
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,800
literally 69 men and we got to 
touch them all, OK. 

792
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,560
But we got to move on for for 
the sake of sanity and, you 

793
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,240
know, to not get arrested. 
Yeah. 

794
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:52,080
So that was Dad, Daddy or Dandy.
Feel free to play at home as you

795
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:57,040
will, and we're going to finish 
the episode with the last 

796
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,160
section. 
We're calling father figures. 

797
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,680
It's a special bait TP just for 
Father's Day. 

798
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,520
We're ranking the top dads. 
These can be active players on 

799
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,080
tour. 
They can be former players, 

800
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,440
coaches or maybe even just like 
a player with big dad energy. 

801
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,960
We haven't talked that much 
about daddies who aren't actual 

802
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,280
fathers, but I celebrate those 
guys every every episode. 

803
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,920
So we've got our. 
Top 8 Catching up a dad. 

804
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,560
He is a father. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

805
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,320
He's, you know, he's a. 
Little put him out there. 

806
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,560
Sympathizer, but yeah, no, he's 
I get it, I. 

807
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,400
Know. 
But were you the one who called 

808
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,520
him Timo Hemsworth? 
Somebody did. 

809
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,600
Or it's just like. 
It's done. 

810
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,880
He's like, he's like kind of a 
Hemsworth, but not quite. 

811
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,000
No. 
OK, so the top 8 and we will be 

812
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,400
posting this to our Instagram 
and please let us know if you 

813
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,080
agree or not. 
But we've got Patrick Marotta 

814
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,800
glue. 
He's problematic, he's got 

815
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,840
issues, but he is such a but but
also like I don't know dads. 

816
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,200
Dads aren't perfect. 
Dads have issues. 

817
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,440
No, he's got such French dad 
energy, like he just gets to be 

818
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,680
on there no matter what. 
He is just your prototypical 

819
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,280
type of French dad Marotta glue.
You're in. 

820
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,800
Yeah, and I find him to be one 
of the most attractive men in 

821
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,400
the world. 
That's me. 

822
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,600
Yeah, he's he's getting older, 
but yes, more out of glue. 

823
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,280
You can stay. 
More out of you can stay yes OK,

824
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,800
then we've got Juan Carlos 
Ferrero who is mostly because 

825
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,920
he's like basically Carlos 
Alcarez's dad. 

826
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,520
He's got that dad energy. 
I love his sort of like stoic 

827
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:44,200
way of like he's raised Carlos. 
And the thing I loved, not many 

828
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,600
things I loved. 
But when Carlos ran up into the 

829
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,840
stands last weekend after 
winning and jumped into his arms

830
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,840
and just this joy and 
celebration, like, I was just 

831
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,280
like that. 
Like, I want. 

832
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,480
I'm like, I wish that was my 
dad, even though he's not his 

833
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,960
father. 
It was just so beautiful. 

834
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,320
And like, Juan Carlos, you are a
father figure. 

835
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,400
Some others we've talked about 
GAIL Monfis, his style and 

836
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,320
swagger, like he's got aura, as 
the kids would say. 

837
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,320
Then we've got Roger Federer 
we've talked about. 

838
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:17,200
Then we've got the dad of of 
many, many, many generations of 

839
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,600
tennis talent who I know you 
love, Brad Gilbert in the number

840
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,720
5 slot. 
Vote him off this island. 

841
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,680
I mean, you know what a lot of 
his day because he dresses like 

842
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,880
your embarrassing dad. 
Like she is a dad nightmare with

843
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,880
those hats in the sand. 
That's like your dad who came to

844
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,360
pick you up early the birthday 
party. 

845
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,720
I don't know him. 
Like, stay away. 

846
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,360
He's got embarrassing dad energy
nailed down. 

847
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,320
OK, That's a dad. 
Dad, like all he cares about is 

848
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,480
like, what's the next pun? 
That's all I care about. 

849
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,080
Like he like when when when 
Jessica Pagula came on the 

850
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,280
stage, he was like, oh, what's 
your nickname? 

851
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,640
Oh, you JPEG. 
He's obsessed with like, funny, 

852
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:01,320
you know, witticisms. 
And and he was the dad to Agassi

853
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,400
Roddick and Coco all reaching, 
you know, Grand Slam finals and 

854
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,160
winning grand slams. 
I mean, he's a great freaking 

855
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,560
coach. 
So Brad Gilbert, you are a 

856
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,840
daddy. 
And then rounding it out, Dad of

857
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,080
the year Jim Courier, who I 
don't think we talk about nearly

858
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,080
enough on this podcast. 
He's just he's really come into 

859
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:25,000
himself as sort of like a dad 
presence in every major 

860
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,760
tournament. 
He does great on quick 

861
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,640
interviews. 
He's just great dead energy. 

862
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,240
Then Annie Murray, who we love, 
favorite tennis lesbian. 

863
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,160
And then Andre Agassi single 
handedly becoming dad to like 

864
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,320
all of Las Vegas with his 
schools, with his tennis 

865
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,720
academies, so much outreach. 
All these guys like their father

866
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:46,720
figures who are the dad bait 
teepee. 

867
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,760
I think that's a pretty good 
list. 

868
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,600
Yeah, I I like, I like the 
inclusion of Agassi and the 

869
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,200
reason, yeah, I'm, I'm down with
this. 

870
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,560
And Brad Gilbert, a dad to us 
all, unfortunately. 

871
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,680
He's, yeah, he's like the dad. 
He's the dad of, of the tennis 

872
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,200
world. 
So. 

873
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:05,240
All right. 
Amazing. 

874
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:08,400
Amazing. 
Well, hey, that is our show. 

875
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,680
We didn't talk about any of the 
tournaments that are going on 

876
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,080
right now except for here and 
there because hey, everyone's 

877
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,840
over on grass. 
They're trying to figure out how

878
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,480
to not fall down when they're on
grass, whatever grass is the 

879
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,400
shortest season in tennis. 
We've got Wimbledon starting in 

880
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,640
just two weeks. 
So we're going to be back in two

881
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,920
weeks with a preview show before
the action starts, before the 

882
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,640
champagne pops. 
We're going to have our always 

883
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,000
spot on predictions. 
We're going to look at the hits 

884
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,440
and misses of the tour. 
So. 

885
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,560
So we'll see you then. 
Ivy, thank you so much for 

886
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,120
spending pre Father's Day with 
me. 

887
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,800
It's always a joy. 
Will you come back real soon? 

888
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,920
Oh hell yes. 
We're getting to my favorite 

889
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,640
part of the season, which is the
summer swing. 

890
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,560
So I'm coming all. 
Right. 

891
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,440
Ivy Ivy's coming and so is 
everybody else. 

892
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,440
So thanks everybody. 
Dads. 

893
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,520
Sorry, these daddies. 
So yeah, happy Father's Day to 

894
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,400
all the daddies out there, and 
we'll see you back real soon. 

895
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,040
Thanks everybody. 
Bye.
