Speakers: Sam, Stevie, John

All right, on today's episode of Nothing Major, we're going to talk about the new best player to not win a slam. Now that Zverev has won one, we're going to go over our grass court review player with the guys that we picked. We also have a segment on guessing music players listen to and some fan questions. Let's get going.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:21)
Jack, John, Stevie and Sam got close a few times, never won a slam, nothing major.

**Sam** (0:27)
Welcome back. We got Stevie, John, myself. Of course, the suits at SIFT. Top suit, Tom is English. He's very disappointed in the game that went down.
That occurred yesterday. We are Haggard, as you guys can see. It's 5 a.m. West Coast. Isner is Mountain Time. It's 6 a.m. Late night. As you guys would expect, we were at the wedding of the summer the last couple of days. Tommy Paul and Paige Lorenze, quite a spectacle.
Stevie, your takeaways from the wedding?

**Stevie** (1:02)
I thought it was beautiful. It was a wonderful ceremony to see Tommy and Paige get married.
Everyone had a great time. I was a little toasty, but we all survived. We persevered through a great day and couldn't be happy for the two young married couple.

**Sam** (1:19)
It was good. John, you have any recap from the wedding?

**John** (1:21)
Yeah, it was a great wedding. It was beautiful. It was at this beautiful estate garden place. No, they didn't want anyone to capture in any moments, obviously, because they want to be the first people to post about it. But I thought that was pretty cool. You didn't see many phones out or anything like that. Kind of like the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelsey wedding. Yeah, but they're a very happy couple.
Let's hope they have offspring, because they'll be very good-looking.

**Sam** (1:54)
Yes, won't they? I would say, yeah.
Yeah, but it was a fun two days. Trendy. I think the Tuesday wedding is going to turn into a thing that made it even trendier. The fact that it was a...

**John** (2:06)
I don't think so.

**Stevie** (2:07)
I don't think so. All right.

**John** (2:08)
I think tennis schedules are weird, as we know. But look, it was on a Tuesday. It felt like a Saturday.

**Stevie** (2:16)
It felt like a Saturday.

**Sam** (2:17)
Sure did.

**Stevie** (2:18)
But he got all the tennis guys to come. It was great. It was a great time. Absolutely great time.

**John** (2:23)
The three of us stayed at a cool hotel. It was like a total bed and breakfast.

**Sam** (2:27)
Yeah.

**John** (2:28)
The owners of the hotel would just walk in the room and be like, hey, is everything okay? What did you need?

**Sam** (2:34)
We took some photos of it. We'll share some photos soon once we're allowed to. I know the rules on that stuff.

**Stevie** (2:40)
Once we get here, okay. Yeah.

**Sam** (2:42)
All right. Enough with that. Bracket standings. We officially have the updates. John Isner lost the Wimbledon bracket.
And so we need to find a punishment for him. We also need a punishment for Stevie still for Roland-Garros. Couple suggestions. A fan said, Stevie, maybe you can sing the new jingle.

**Stevie** (3:00)
I don't want to take that from you.

**Sam** (3:01)
Okay. Also Vogue style photo shoot on the clay. Other guys have done that. We don't need to do that.

**Stevie** (3:07)
BG did it and he actually did a great job.

**Sam** (3:09)
Yeah, I know.

**Stevie** (3:10)
For Brad Gilbert's. I didn't see it. I thought that was AI at first and then I realized it was real. I was pretty impressed.

**John** (3:16)
Oh, man. His arms are so hairy.

**Stevie** (3:18)
I get it. But I thought it was AI.

**John** (3:19)
How much shorter hair does he have?

**Stevie** (3:21)
So much.

**Sam** (3:22)
Got to wax that.

**Stevie** (3:24)
We can do something this summer. We got to figure it out because we'll be together a bunch this summer. In Cincy or somewhere. We got to do something.

**Sam** (3:30)
We're going to figure it out. All right. Let's do our grass stock review. Before the grass court season, we all picked players. We bought them. We sold them. Let's review how we did.
Before we do that, I keep noticing on the YouTube comments, everyone's like, oh, where's Jack? Jack's not on the pod anymore. Can we move on from that? Please, people that are listening. And then also, people keep complaining about the ad reads. We gotta do ad reads.

**Stevie** (3:53)
We like the ad reads.

**Sam** (3:54)
I like the transitions.

**Stevie** (3:55)
