**John Isner** (0:00)
Coming up on Nothing Major, we have a great show ahead. We're going to talk about the biggest meltdowns in tennis history.
We're also going to have a beautiful tennis court segment, which we're going to need some fan participation in. And on top of that, the best non-cash prizes at tennis tournaments. That's all ahead on Nothing Major. This is going to be a fun one. Let's get it started.

**Sam Querrey** (0:21)
Jack, John, Stevie and Sam got close a few times, never won a slam.

**John Isner** (0:26)
All right. Welcome back to Nothing Major. John Isner here with Sam Querrey. You're centered up. You're good.

**Sam Querrey** (0:32)
I'm trying to get good lighting. All right.

**John Isner** (0:34)
Stop wiggling. Stevie Johnson and the team at SIFT Creative. We are back on this Friday.
Before we get in to the meat of the show, few things need to address. First off is the jingle.
We need to talk about this. It's over. Sam, you might need to re-record it with Jack not being here any more. What are your thoughts on that? It just seems... Before we started recording, Sam was saying when we first played the jingle, everyone was like, stop playing this, I can't listen to this. And then a week later, all the comments are, don't get rid of the jingle. So we're a little confused.

**Sam Querrey** (1:17)
Yeah, same. You summed it up perfectly.
It's typical just like the internet, the haters only come out on the internet, right? So if you like the jingle and we got rid of it, you commented if you didn't like the jingle or-

**John Isner** (1:29)
Yeah.

**Sam Querrey** (1:30)
But I don't even know what I'm trying to say. But yeah.

**John Isner** (1:32)
I know what you're trying to say.

**Sam Querrey** (1:33)
I'll re-record the jingle. I'll re-record a jingle. Let's get a new jingle.
I weirdly hated it and then grew to love it. And I'm going to change the cadence of the sound of the music. So if anyone has some like lyrics, basic lyrics, we don't want too much. Something quick, in and out. And I will record it again.

**John Isner** (1:49)
Okay.

**Stevie Johnson** (1:49)
Can't wait.

**John Isner** (1:51)
That sucks for us, Stevie.

**Stevie Johnson** (1:53)
It does suck for us.

**Sam Querrey** (1:55)
Well, do you guys want to sing too?

**John Isner** (1:57)
No, why don't you not finish dead last in our bracket challenge? Then maybe you wouldn't have to do this.

**Sam Querrey** (2:03)
Yeah, valid point.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:05)
Still has other debts to pay off as well. So we'll get there at some point.

**Sam Querrey** (2:10)
I still have that cheat outfit.

**John Isner** (2:14)
Yeah, that cheat outfit.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:16)
Wimbledon would be a good place for it.

**Sam Querrey** (2:18)
Wimbledon.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:19)
Zero shot.

**Sam Querrey** (2:19)
I wear that.

**John Isner** (2:20)
That would be unbelievable. Wear it to the Wimbledon Champions Dinner. I heard, actually I heard you're not invited to that anymore.

**Sam Querrey** (2:26)
I didn't get invited to the Legends. I was, I'm pretty pissed, actually.

**John Isner** (2:30)
But just the Champions Ball as well.

**Sam Querrey** (2:32)
Well, it's kind of one of those, if you get invited to the Legends, then you're invited to the Ball. You're not just invited to the Ball out of the blue.

**John Isner** (2:37)
Yeah, yeah.
All right, Sam, also you texted us, you have yet another rant and you claim this is an all time rant. That's what you said.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:49)
This is what you said. This better be good.

**Sam Querrey** (2:51)
Don't say that on the pod. You're overselling it.

**Stevie Johnson** (2:55)
You oversold it.

**John Isner** (2:55)
You said it was an all time rant. Those are your words.

**Sam Querrey** (2:58)
Okay, this is my way.

**John Isner** (2:58)
I'm not overselling anything.

**Sam Querrey** (2:59)
On Monday, this came to my head on Monday when I was driving to meet Stevie to play tennis.
You know, when we play tournaments or do exos and stuff, sometimes we'll get a little goodie bag, gift bag, and it's always got the Yeti water bottle and a towel and a visor. Somewhere along the line in the last few months, I must have got an air freshener. And my wife took the air freshener and put it in my car, dangling it from the mirror. And I'm driving down to see Stevie, 20 minutes in, I'm like, what is that smell? You know, I'm like, it's the air freshener. I'm like, what? And I take it off, I'm like, I don't want to be an air freshener guy. And then it came to my head, I'm like, guys that use air fresheners.
