Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton Honors app the other day, and yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive, even for me. Just kidding, you can never have too many Hilton Honors points. And I want to do something iconic this summer, so I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton Honors member, and I might be sending you Paris points, because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

Good afternoon, good evening, good morning, whatever time it is in the world, wherever you're tuning in from. If you're tuning in from Australia or Egypt, I would be questioning your sanity of tuning into a tennis show when the national teams are playing right now. But thank you for joining us, and maybe you really dislike soccer to that extent, or maybe you love us too, whatever it is. I'm really pleased to be joined by both Gil Gross and Vajramani.

**Gil Gross** (2:49)
On that note, John, it's great to be with you and Vanch, as always. I'm curious about if there will be any evidence that the World Cup actually pulls eyes off of Wimbledon in a substantial way. I mean, I know the Serena match on ESPN did a massive rating, but sometimes I have felt as if just with my own YouTube channel, that there's just a little bit of pull away, especially before Wimbledon in those lead up weeks.

**John Silk** (3:21)
Do you have a large European audience, Gil?

**Gil Gross** (3:24)
For sure.

**John Silk** (3:24)
Yeah.

**Gil Gross** (3:26)
It's only about 30 percent US.

**John Silk** (3:29)
Because actually, mine's probably about 30 percent US as well.

**Gil Gross** (3:32)
It's huge.

**John Silk** (3:33)
Well, actually, it's probably been overtaken by the Philippines for the last few weeks. I have no idea why.
But yeah, the US is huge. I mean, it's English speaking, of course, and so on and so forth. Regarding your point, well, we just did a watch along and Amanda was there saying that she's loving it because she's watching. She's in California as well. She's watching tennis in the morning and football. So it's overlapping, isn't it?
At this moment. But that's about it, isn't it? I think because the earliest the matches are kicking off would be, I don't know, midday, one o'clock California time. And Wimbledon is winding itself down. Yes, there's an overlap like we can see right now. But also, don't forget that the tournament is thinning out a little bit. Although, Storms predicted for Mexico, and they are talking about moving England versus Mexico on Sunday. So this could impact Wimbledon, at least the crowd and stuff like that. They're talking about, it's not been confirmed. So this could change and it might all be just rumors. But they're talking about moving it to earlier in the day. So seven or eight o'clock UK time, something like that. And you know how Centre Court, I don't know if you've seen it even this week, with Centre Court, it was quite funny. Andrew Cotter, who's an unbelievable commentator on the BBC, looks like he's going up in the commentary pecking order in the next year or two as well, with one or two going down. And there was a Prismich match, I can't remember who he was playing, and England scored a goal and the crowd went wild and blah, blah, blah. We saw the changeover as well, so it was a good moment to celebrate the goal in it. And the co-commentator said, oh, it looks like England obviously scored a goal. And Andrew Cotter said, oh, they're just really happy to see Przemyśl get that hold.
