It's the last time. Last time in the Cadillac Studio. our escalate IQ. Yeah,
and it's the last time I'm gonna say it has AKG Studio Reference Sound System with Dolby Atmos, where you can clearly hear music from Will I Am and its iconic lyrics, which say, what you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk, which if you're watching, you can see we have a bunch of junk inside our trunk and in our front trunk. Because we're able to fit four adults plus Rob and their luggage inside this. Four
adults plus
Rob like he's a child? Well he his luggage isn't here, but we have a four adults, their luggage. Unnecessary too. I wasn't finished. Right. But we have three weeks' worth of luggage, plus Techie Sean and his DJ booth and his transmographer. And we can fit it all in this expansive Cadillac Escalade IQ. Yeah. So
I d I I I didn't think we were gonna get a black eyed face first, we gotta be honest. I didn't I didn't think that was gonna be a big Q,
thank
you. Got you love drunk off my Uh okay, well, that was an intro.
Uh
yeah. Um Zverif.
Uh.
So what if I would have told you? Beginning of the year. What if I would've told you? Sabalenka doesn't win a major, Shviantek doesn't win a major, Coco doesn't win a major. Wow. Cinner and Alcaraz don't play in a major. Don't play each other. Don't play each other in a major. Yeah, sorry, don't play against each other in a major. There's a very ріel chance. That neither one finishes number one in the world.
That's a crazy statement.
And Zverov Wins two majors. Цвайви плем, гайс, дат спортс. The ultimate reality show.
I mean if you would have said Zverev made f was gonna make four semifinals In two finals, I'd be like, What are you talking
about? He had never made it past the fourth round of Wibbledon. Like this is like And he said he came to the ESPN set and he said he told me off air and then we went on air and he said the same thing. He said If you would have given me the choice in a piece of paper to sign And you get one forever, he goes, I would have taken that in a heartbeat at any point in the last However many years. Yeah. Like no questions asked.
Yeah.
Um gets through against Ben Shelton, who had a hell of a tournament. Um I thought the two speeches after the tennis. We're just about perfect.
Mm.
I thought they accounted for themselves so well. Um during the during the postmatch speeches. Um I I thought the respect between the two was evident. I also really, really liked And I think it's the first time I've seen it. I like Zverev going over and shaking the hands of Ben's team. I
thought that was cool.
I thought that was classy. I thought that was nice. Um But I you know, I think it was just um There there's a lot to unpack with this performance of the match and the tournament overall with Sverov and then, you know, we we we pan out To the kind of career perspective. Um He was two points away from losing first round.
Yeah.
Against Sonigo. And then barely won his second round against Hal Alice.
Yeah.
Um Survive advance that matters. Every time you sneak through a match and you play like shit, which by his own admission he played like shit. For his standard, not like everyone's standard, but for his standard. You give yourself another another chance to play well. Like that That is a lesson for him from this open as far uh amongst uh many other things. And for someone we don't like Sabalenka comes on the desk last week, right, at red zone and starts predicting serves from and and hits most of them like four for four, crazy. For someone who we don't give credit for being like a strategist or like this he's always thinking or the IQ or like all the it's not like a That's not a set in stone narrative for for Zv.
