**Kelley Bydlon** (0:28)
Sup!

**Gill Alexander** (0:28)
In the Hizzee, right here from Circle Resort Casino, downtown Las Vegas. Who's this guy, by the way, Kelley? Matt Brown and I were trying to figure this out last week. So like ESPN has new faces that they've just thrown at us.

**Wes Reynolds** (0:40)
Wait, well, Matt Brown knew who that was.

**Gill Alexander** (0:42)
Oh, he didn't. He had no idea.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:44)
It's Evan Kevincourt, right?

**Gill Alexander** (0:47)
Kevincourt.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:47)
OK, there you go.

**Gill Alexander** (0:48)
Just curious.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:49)
I don't know my project. I'm botching his name.

**Gill Alexander** (0:51)
I don't know.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:52)
I don't know.

**Gill Alexander** (0:52)
Not to send everybody there, but I was just wondering because he's everywhere.

**Kelley Bydlon** (0:55)
He's really good. I feel really bad about botching his name. It does a great podcast. Yeah. OK.
Yeah. Kevin Clark. Kevin Clark.

**Gill Alexander** (1:03)
We get sweet speed of the book. Jason Stark. Welcome back, Kelley. Great to have the band back together. But you and Gill being back in the studio means football is very close. He said both you and Gill in the studio means football is very close. Yes, indeed it is.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:15)
That's right. It's been a long summer with each of us in different locations and vacations. You were in San Francisco.

**Gill Alexander** (1:22)
Yeah.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:22)
Thanks to Matt Brown, by the way, for last week. Thank you to Matt Brown. Filling in for me a couple of days.

**Gill Alexander** (1:26)
A couple of days, Monday and Wednesday. Yeah.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:29)
I heard that was fun.

**Gill Alexander** (1:31)
Oh, it's great fun. It was like riding a bike.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:34)
You know, and I thought I heard that from somebody and I thought about it. I was like, you know, well, like Matt and I have done a bunch together because he fills in often when you're out.

**Gill Alexander** (1:42)
I think that's the first time Matt and I have done since Primetime Action, probably.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:45)
Yeah, I feel like he'd probably been on set with us once or twice.

**Gill Alexander** (1:49)
He's been with both of us.

**Wes Reynolds** (1:50)
Right. Yeah.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:51)
But just you two. Yeah.

**Gill Alexander** (1:53)
Jason H. Eleven is so is Kelley still single?
Yeah. Following your Nashville.

**Kelley Bydlon** (1:59)
Yeah, of course. You know, I went to Nashville and came home came home with a long distance relationship.

**Gill Alexander** (2:04)
No, just what you want.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:07)
Whatever the tweet was of the the number of times I've fallen in love, though, that over hit over hit one night with it with an Irish bachelorette party. Gil, I tell you, I'm just going to leave it at that.

**Gill Alexander** (2:17)
Just going to leave it at that. Actually, you wouldn't have liked it.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:19)
A lot of good looking blondes are around, including myself.

**Gill Alexander** (2:23)
That's not my jam.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:24)
It's not your style.

**Gill Alexander** (2:25)
David Donnelly.

**Kelley Bydlon** (2:26)
Hi, Gil.

**Gill Alexander** (2:26)
Enjoy your show. I loved your ego pick to win the US Open. Took her at eight to one. Good for you. Is there any other woman down the board that you would like? Yeah, I just mentioned Amanda Anisimova. 20 to one would be the longest shot I would consider.
Tronsky, John Osher. I love when people do this kind of thing. Because dear Gil, I love Alcaraz as much as anybody, but no one in the modern era has ever won the US Open without having played either Cincinnati or the Canadian Open as a warm up. Alcaraz is not winning this. Huge opportunity for Shelton Fritz Feast wide open. Well, I agree with that last part. But I love when people like you must get this in golf a lot. I love when people like make a grandstand about that one person not winning this and you're like, hey, congratulations. You were correct. Somebody else from a 80 player pool won.

**Kelley Bydlon** (3:09)
Yeah, 144 golfers out there every week. And every time we don't pick the one guy who wins it, we all suck. And then it's, you know, it's Scotty Shelford wins it or something. How did you not see that coming?
