Cincy The New 5th Slam?, Canadian Pet Peeves & Awkward Life Advice | EP 204

**Sam Querrey** (0:00)
My kids have these like Nerf guns, and I could see Ford putting it through the door, and I was about to shoot me.

**Steve Johnson** (0:04)
Okay.
I didn't realize he had actually sharted on a towel. Who would you all peg as the Cincinnati favorite? It's wide open.

**Sam Querrey** (0:16)
Even if he pops a semi in Cincy, the gap is kind of closing.

**Steve Johnson** (0:20)
The queen is still on all their money.

**Sam Querrey** (0:22)
She died, I'm assuming?

**Steve Johnson** (0:23)
No, like the queen of England.

**Sam Querrey** (0:26)
Sorry.

**Steve Johnson** (0:28)
Coming up on Nothing Major, we're gonna have a fun segment. We've done European Pet Peeves before, UK Pet Peeves. We're doing Canadian Pet Peeves in honor of the Canadian Masters. We also have some other fun segments, including Life Advice. It's back, so it's all ahead on the show. Let's get it started.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:45)
Jack, John, Stevie and Sam got close a few times, never won a slam, Nothing Major.

**Steve Johnson** (0:51)
Back to Nothing Major, everyone. Back to a three-man show. Sam Querrey is back from Cincinnati.
I'm here myself, Stevie Johnson and the team at SIFT. Before we get into this Thursday show, obviously Montreal still going on. The finals is today in a handful of hours or whatever as we're recording this. So we're going to really do a full Montreal breakdown on Monday's show. Today's show is a little bit just more fun, a little more relaxed. But Monday we're going to break down Montreal and of course talk a lot about Cincinnati. But Sam, you were in Cincinnati for about 36 hours.

**John Isner** (1:32)
Yep.

**Steve Johnson** (1:35)
I saw Marty Fish was there. Someone sent me a video.

**John Isner** (1:38)
Marty was there, yeah.

**Steve Johnson** (1:39)
Of you crossing the finish line in the 5K, which is what, like 3.2 miles maybe. Okay.
And what did you run it in and how did you feel and how do you feel now?

**Sam Querrey** (1:51)
Ran it in 28 minutes and 17 seconds. So I averaged a nine minute mile basically.

**Steve Johnson** (1:56)
Okay.

**Sam Querrey** (1:57)
And I'm hurt. My shoulders hurt for some reason. But in my hips, I ran it immediately, just sat down for an hour, did no training, no warm up, did absolutely nothing. I had no water for about two hours afterwards.
But I completed it and it was at the site. It was in Cincy, around the grounds. It was kind of cool.

**Steve Johnson** (2:16)
How many laps around, just around the grounds?

**Sam Querrey** (2:18)
It was one lap, but it just went everywhere kind of.

**Steve Johnson** (2:21)
Yeah.

**Sam Querrey** (2:22)
Yeah. But yeah, it was fun. Did that now back in Cincy.
It was a little awkward. My family's in Cincy with me. And so I went into, as a commentator, we're ambassadors, you don't want to ask for extra credentials because we're just littering up the player lounge. No, you don't. But I wanted to get them just for my kids. We might go over early in the morning some days to play like cornhole or something. So I walked into Bob Moran's office the other day. And he was a tournament director of Cincy for those of you who don't know. I like walk in, I'm going to ask for credentials. I literally walk in, I'm like, hey, Bob, what's up? He's like, Sinner just pulled out.
Bummer. He's like, yeah.

**Jack Sock** (2:58)
He didn't ask, did you?

**Sam Querrey** (2:59)
No. And I just walked right out. I was like, oh, bummer, man. Have a good day. See you later. I just walked out.

**John Isner** (3:03)
I didn't even ask. That was the right choice.

**Steve Johnson** (3:06)
You can't ask for family credentials right after that.

**Sam Querrey** (3:08)
Could not ask for credentials after that.

**Steve Johnson** (3:10)
You got to email Ashley or something. That's exactly what I did. Yeah.

**Sam Querrey** (3:14)
You called Ashley and she got them for me.

**Jack Sock** (3:17)
But anyway.

**John Isner** (3:19)
Yeah, that's tough. You can't follow through with that after that news.

**Sam Querrey** (3:23)
That was a little fun tidbit.

**Steve Johnson** (3:26)
All right. Well, why'd you take your shirt off? Was it that hot?

**Sam Querrey** (3:29)
It was that hot. I was sweating so much.

**John Isner** (3:32)
It felt like it was like a heavy cotton tea based on your video.

**Sam Querrey** (3:35)
It was like a new shirt I put on. It was like sticking to me. And I just wanted to show off the physique.

**Steve Johnson** (3:40)
