SPEAKER_3 (1:12)

All right.

Andy Roddick (1:13)

Should be quite the day one. Jon Wertheim made his way over. You skipped work yesterday.

SPEAKER_3 (1:18)

Where were you? I had to get fitted for these shoes. I feel like, didn't Zverev just find out he won the US. Open like three minutes ago? I feel like we were just talking to him.

Jon Wertheim (1:27)

He found out last night at the Gallup.

SPEAKER_3 (1:28)

Exactly. Great to be here, everyone.

Andy Roddick (1:31)

Still hits. So we have Team World shoes, Team World shoes, and Hayden, your producer, Mike, you're going with Team Europe.

Jon Wertheim (1:39)

Yeah, you know, I like to ride the hot hand in terms of teams.

SPEAKER_4 (1:44)

Just pandering to the crowd a little bit. Exactly.

Jon Wertheim (1:46)

Yeah, they're leading 5-3 overall, so.

SPEAKER_4 (1:48)

Well, good.

Andy Roddick (1:49)

Well, we're going to get into a quick recap of the day, tell you what you're looking for. A guy named John McEnroe coming by the show a little bit later.

He's normally a little shy with his opinions. So if you could-

SPEAKER_3 (2:01)

I've got to warm him up, get him out of his shell.

Andy Roddick (2:03)

If you could just really help me get him out of his shell, that would be much appreciated. But before we look forward to the day, let's look backwards at the year that was in the Labor Cup last year.

SPEAKER_5 (2:27)

Team Europe off to the first half.

SPEAKER_6 (2:36)

Team World pick up their very first point.

SPEAKER_4 (3:00)

There's a new sheriff in town for Team World.

What a day for Team World. They do indeed make it a clean sweep.

SPEAKER_6 (3:09)

Getting straight sides wins over amazing players.

SPEAKER_3 (3:11)

Just an unbelievable day at the office for all of us.

SPEAKER_6 (3:14)

Definitely no shortage of just adrenaline for this one.

SPEAKER_4 (3:18)

No way!

SPEAKER_5 (3:20)

That is cheeky.

SPEAKER_4 (3:22)

They are tantalizingly close now from claiming the Lever Cup. That's pretty great.

Andy Roddick (3:49)

All right, and if we look at kind of the way that things shook out yesterday, day one important, but circle that day two. That's when Team World kind of took control of this thing. And Upset Special by the end of the last day. I think Team Europe, similar to this year, heavy favorites.

The two things that struck me about that highlight package was Carlos has gone through like six hairstyles.

Jon Wertheim (4:16)

The platinum was set.

SPEAKER_4 (4:17)

The platinum blonde. I kind of forgot about that look.

Jon Wertheim (4:19)

That was on the top pony.

Andy Roddick (4:20)

That was on the heels of shaving the head for the US Open last year because his brother gave him a bad haircut. I think he's finally figured out that he's doing well enough to actually pay for haircuts.

Jon Wertheim (4:29)

I know. We were saying last night, I was like, maybe he'll go mohawk next. And then I completely forgot he already did it.

Andy Roddick (4:33)

He's got so much variety on the court with hair. It's just fantastic. And also, have you ever seen someone do so many chest bumps and get so little air as Captain Agassi?

SPEAKER_3 (4:43)

No, he burned more calories than any of the players.

Andy Roddick (4:46)

And it wasn't as if he was not trying. I mean, he was trying on every one of those jumps. And the players were like a foot above him.

SPEAKER_3 (4:55)

You'd Riley O'Pelka to withstand. Andre, I'd say pretty invested in the outcome, Andre.

Andy Roddick (5:03)

I'll tell you this.

His intensity, and he did this thing at the, I went to the, the gala last night in the fancy dinner. And Andre got up there and basically said, you know, I have this urge when I'm in a room full of well-dressed people to say a cuss word.

And, you know, he proceeds to kind of tell a story as he does, and he said a cuss word. And he said, you know, something to the effect of, you know, my team, a bunch of young guys, they don't think I'll come up here and do that. And so he sits down and everyone's like, oh man, I can't believe he, you know, said that word. And I go, you guys are missing the point. He's got a team full of 20-somethings. He's trying to at least bring them down to where we're kind of seeing eye to eye. And if the shortest path to that is saying something that makes half the room uncomfortable, but unifies the team room in some sort of joke, I go, you're completely missing the point of what he did.
