**Jon Wertheim** (1:31)
We're more than halfway home.

**Andy Roddick** (1:33)
It's been so many days.

**Jon Wertheim** (1:35)
For you, it has.

**Andy Roddick** (1:37)
Do what? I said, for you, it has. You hear that voice, that is the sultry tone of producer Mike. Yeah. Techie Shawn over in the corridor, chuckling like Beavis.
JW.

**Jon Wertheim** (1:51)
He said sultry. He said sultry.

**Andy Roddick** (1:56)
No one under... Do you know Beavis about our Techie Shawn?

**Jon Wertheim** (1:59)
I was going to say.

**Andy Roddick** (2:00)
I don't think so. Oh my God.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:01)
You had to owe my TP for your buck.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:02)
Come on, everyone. Holy cow.

**Andy Roddick** (2:07)
We have so much work to do.

**Jon Wertheim** (2:09)
Sorry.

**Andy Roddick** (2:10)
I really get thrown. This me up.
Are you serious?

**Jon Wertheim** (2:16)
Are you familiar with, do you know Bluey? Yeah, no, Bluey. Of course he knows Bluey. I'm thinking like, what's predating?

**Andy Roddick** (2:21)
He's a child. Of course he knows Bluey. He's a child.

**Jon Wertheim** (2:23)
But didn't predate him. Okay.

**Andy Roddick** (2:25)
All right.

**Jon Wertheim** (2:25)
Here we go.

**Andy Roddick** (2:26)
Dude, go watch. I introduced him. This is probably going to be real quickly.
Yeah, we'll get to tennis.

**Jon Wertheim** (2:32)
All right.

**Andy Roddick** (2:33)
All right. I did watch Beavis and Butt-Hack Highlights with my son, Hank.
He said, I am from DT Gaga.

**Jon Wertheim** (2:45)
All right.

**Andy Roddick** (2:45)
No one's listening. Anyways, there was tennis at Wimbledon. Sorry, Decorum, Wimbledon venue. Focus. On a serious note, where did Paolini come from? I mean, she is awesome. She's one of my favorite players. I love watching her. There might not be a better smile in all of tennis. And couldn't find anything down a set for two and an ad to Robin Montgomery first round.
Great.

**Jon Wertheim** (3:14)
There's a lesson there, isn't there?

**Andy Roddick** (3:15)
Tell me, tell me why is Jon Wertheim?

**Jon Wertheim** (3:18)
She, you know, we are talking about a former finalist here. So there is some traction and a Roland Garros finalist rough year. I mean, she's barely playing 500 ball coming in. And you're right, but she was down a set and a break in her first round match. And you're thinking, and then we talk about this fairly often. This is one of the great virtues of sports, right? You find a little find a little hot pocket, turn a match around. Suddenly you have momentum, you have confidence. And here she is back in week two. She said, I don't know if you saw afterwards, I mean, she that irrepressible, like cantaloupe smile, I mean, the biggest smile tennis. And she basically said, sometimes you hate this sport, sometimes you love this sport. But that's what you sign up for. And yeah, here she is, a week ago, this would have been a devastating loss. She would have been deep outside the top 10 And now here she is back in the Elite Eight.

**Andy Roddick** (4:08)
Tekki, Sean, JW just said a hot pocket. Do you know what hot pockets are? I do know what hot pockets are, thank God. I do.
