I was going to say doing TV, but doing-

**Sean** (1:33)
Potting.

**Andy Roddick** (1:33)
Doing Internet.

**Sean** (1:34)
Doing Internet shows.

**Andy Roddick** (1:35)
Doing Internet shows.

**Sean** (1:36)
Mind you, we're not driving, but I just realized I did put my seatbelt on.

**Andy Roddick** (1:40)
Oh, you did? We're not moving.

**Sean** (1:41)
Because we're not moving.

**Andy Roddick** (1:42)
So just to be clear for all you Terrans that are like, where are your seatbelt? We're like, you can see the lights. They're not moving. We're just in front of our hotel.

**Sean** (1:51)
I mean, I just, it's instinct. Safety first.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:54)
Safety first.

**Andy Roddick** (1:55)
You have, I mean, you guys both have them on?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:57)
Yeah.

**Sean** (1:58)
Should you put, will you put your seatbelt on?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:00)
No, please.

**Sean** (2:01)
Come on.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:01)
No.

**Sean** (2:02)
Come on.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:03)
Come on.

**Andy Roddick** (2:04)
No.

**Sean** (2:04)
Because this car not only does have an AKG sound system, reference audio sound system with Dolby Abus, but it has the top of the line safety features, including seatbelts.

**Andy Roddick** (2:15)
I want, you want, you want, top of the line safety features including seatbelts?

**Sean** (2:20)
All right.

**Andy Roddick** (2:21)
Thank you for doing that. That's great.

**Sean** (2:24)
All right.

**Andy Roddick** (2:24)
Let's get into some tennis. I mean, I guess the top story, I mean, I think it's a top story. It's weird to talk about like a doubles match is the top story of the day in a first round of a slam. So I'm going to kind of defer a little bit because I finished, I didn't go home, I didn't go to sleep till four and I was up. We did red zone at noon. So I was, my turnaround was like six hours all in. It wasn't, it wasn't great.
Wanted to stay up, watch Venus and Serena. Ben Shelton just won the first set. So that's where we're at as far as timing. It's 11.45 at night. So we want to have as much tennis as possible. We are not going to stay up for the end of the Ben match.

**Sean** (3:01)
No, I don't think I physically can.

**Andy Roddick** (3:03)
Choppo was up a break two different times in the first set and Ben snuck it out. So gotta think he feels okay about that. You all stayed for the Venus Serena match. I was watching it on.

**Sean** (3:14)
It was awesome.

**Andy Roddick** (3:15)
I was watching on the ESPN app. And then when I got home, I was watching it from here. It seemed like the place was going.
B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

**Sean** (3:25)
It was you could just feel this like palpable, like singular heartbeat to like try and will these incredible, like iconic athletes to win. And my brother's been up here visiting, and I like looked at him at one point. I'm like, bro, like they're the same age as we are. And like they're down there playing like a 21-year-old.

**Andy Roddick** (3:49)
Yeah.

**Sean** (3:49)
And they're turning this place into this like it.
I can't even describe it. I can't even describe it. I thought they were going to be willed to win in that third set tie break. And ultimately, you know, it just, it didn't go their way. But I'm, I'm in all of their skill set and I'm extremely like honored. I get to see it.

**Andy Roddick** (4:10)
So there, there's a couple of things.
I think Venus was the best player on the court tonight. No offense to Chan, but Venus was dominant, holding serve, attacking returns. I thought she was fantastic. I don't know where she's at as far as thought process with how close she is with her career. Singles is rough. She's lost 15 in a row. So sidebar, whatever, whatever makes you happy and whatever people are going to give you the wild cards, take them. I understand if tournaments don't, if you lose 15 in a row, I certainly think it's, you can defend the tournaments not giving them to her, for sure. Not going to blame her for whatever she wants to do. Party on. She's a good doubles player still. Made the quarters here with Leila Fernandez last year. I thought she played great tonight. She hit the ball great. Nobody moves better at 46 than they do at 22, as some of the ESPN said. So if she can hide her movement, her ball striking skills are fantastic. I thought Serena like weirdly was like a little nerdy. It's almost like, I think she wanted to win for Venus.
