WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.599
This is a downbeat on ninety seven
one in the Free. We have multiple

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.679
preade updates. So what's happening at
our host locos? Why do we say

3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.519
that earlier all the iHeart vehicles are
going to be there? Okay, so

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:17.280
if you want to see an iHeart
vehicle, okay, I think personalities too,

5
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.559
but I don't. I mean,
the Freak is a little compromised to

6
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:26.480
day, although it's never a compromise
to go to Pluckers because Pluckers in Dallas

7
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.039
for the freaking the weekend series and
a great alternative option. If you don't

8
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.079
want to go deal with the mess
of the parade in Arlington, then Pluckers

9
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.000
in Dallas good place to hang out. Live praade coverage there will begin during

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:45.359
the Bin and Skin Show, as
your prede correspondent Kevin will be there.

11
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:53.640
I've seen Kevin fired up before,
but I have never seen this man glow

12
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.719
like he's glowing right now, knowing
that he's heading off to Arlington. Trade

13
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.200
guy. Through and through that we've
known, but now this is like your

14
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.200
parade. It is they've actually blocked
off an entire section. For me,

15
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:15.079
I'm going to o host Locos,
then go go with me. You can

16
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.040
go with him. I can hold
this thing. You're just gonna leave right

17
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.000
now. I've been telling you to
get out of here. You want to

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:29.519
go to host Locos. I support
Pluckers and host Locos and the Rangers and

19
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.879
this parade. But I'm going to
go play golf instead. I want to

20
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:38.560
go look at freak vehicles. Bring
monkey. If there's one freak vehicle and

21
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:44.079
you can ride in it. If
you want to go in the parade.

22
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.599
Is one of these people on my
phone Rescinda? Well, uh okay,

23
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.000
the fact that you don't know who
Rescinda is offensive. We should drive the

24
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.799
freak vehicle like around a larger loop
around where the parade route is and put

25
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:07.319
ca in there. You can wag
to people and pound drinks. Hey,

26
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.599
everyone, you just keep going by. Kerrie standing by himself waving at you.

27
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.120
There he is again, Viva Mexico. We got a damn World Series

28
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.159
parade today. This is unreal and
everyone, I think a big pary tradition

29
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.000
is you buy an eight pack of
cold wingers and you just kind of throw

30
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.400
them at the vehicles, and you're
supposed to throw hot dogs at the people.

31
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.280
I don't think you are that's not
a thing. Tortillas. Can we

32
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.120
do the tortilla Frisbee Texas Tech?
You could? Don't. Let's just throw

33
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.240
tortillas on the field. If the
possum can't play football, the hell love

34
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.360
it. I got thrilled with how
many marshmallows of the damn sat Patti's parade.

35
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.919
Yeah, so marshmallows are a nice
throw up. That's an Irish tradition,

36
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.039
though, is it marshmallows? Are
you sure? Yeah, you're not

37
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.400
sure. I think you're very unsure
of almost everything you say. Dude,

38
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.360
No, look it up. I
think you're just repeating things that you've heard

39
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.039
that you think you're supposed to say. It's pre No marshmallow is at a

40
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.280
parade because people want to throw crap
at parades, wacky charms. I have

41
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:19.159
marshmallows in them. There's a reason
for that. Well has them too,

42
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:25.240
and nobody's throwing them at Transylvanian parades, a Romanian parades. You should bring

43
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.639
a trash bag full of dumb dumbs
and throw them at everyone at that.

44
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.680
I know a guy, I know
where exactly where one sits. I'm going

45
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.759
to use them like I would use
brass knuckles and keep away anybody who tries

46
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:45.080
to rob me or a cost a
famous radio reporter as he covers the parade

47
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.800
live in the cut today, you
are going to be in the cut the

48
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.560
scene with the gangsta lean and be
sleeping and you're a cord for two hours.

49
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.280
Tell people what I drive? I'm
too popular? Well you all that

50
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.360
at the parade vehicles that go by, yes, ye oh yeah, fishes,

51
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.240
fishes. Keep the challenges going and
going. I'll add them to my

52
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:12.639
note card of bits. You have
nothing planned? Why are even going out

53
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.800
there, dude, you don't represent
I'm a little just after all these years,

54
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.480
I'm giving the bin and skin show
my energy again. Like I tell

55
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.319
like ten years of that was enough. Look at all the people out there

56
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.560
now they're setting up scaffolding. Now
what's been earlier? That was earlier?

57
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.079
Well we go live? Yeah?
Can we let's go live to five minutes

58
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.079
ago from the parade. I have
two live parade reports. Okay, j

59
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.199
J. Please, good morning,
speak easy. This is keeps it from

60
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.680
the other day. I'm at the
Rangers. Parade hasn't started yet, of

61
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.040
course, I'm in the parking lot
next to seven eleven, right outside the

62
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.360
Globe and it is packed. There's
a ton of people here, a lot

63
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:54.360
of Rangers fans. A couple of
lots are already full in the outside of

64
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.120
the entertainment district. So if you
got plans to get it here, I

65
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.000
suggest you get here soon. It's
a little nipplely, but it's gonna warm

66
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.439
up later in the day. All
right, love y'all, all right,

67
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:08.399
you're gonna be real Nippley out there. He had both a hispanic and cowboy

68
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:14.560
accent mixed together, crush and he
gave a traffic update, a weather update,

69
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.959
your vote, a future page Ellenburger
type. You're voting Q tip.

70
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.920
Let's give Daniel a shot. Here's
Daniel's retort. Hey, guys, this

71
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:30.600
is Daniel for Marlington with your official
parade watch report. I am driving down

72
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.439
stadium, rapped by the field.
There are tons of people already lining up.

73
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.399
Traffic is chaos. There's some cones. See some cones out there.

74
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.079
Uh, it's already getting wild and
it is only seven point thirty. Gonna

75
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.720
be crazy. That's from two hours
ago. Jeez, we have live reports

76
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.000
on cones. Yeah, there's some
cones, so look out for those.

77
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.680
If you're heading out to Arlington.
There's a lot of things that parades and

78
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.120
cones are one of them. This
is good. We need a couple more

79
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.879
parade up dates on the talkback.
You can access that be the iHeartRadio app

80
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.480
a little microphone bottom right hand corner
if you're listening to ninety seven on the

81
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:10.319
freak, and do it like you're
doing to try out to be a local

82
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.759
news person. Yeah, because I
like this we're getting. We need information

83
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.519
like I don't need to hear.
Oh, there's a lot of people.

84
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.399
This is gonna be cool. Do
it like a news person, give your

85
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.680
unique, unique perspective, right right, but do it like a thirty second

86
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.199
stand up. And we know a
lot We know a ton of people that

87
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.000
work in local news, local media, and this could be the break that

88
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.959
you're looking for. Go full,
I mean full, Mattlur when you're recording,

89
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:43.759
don't different. They tell me that
part press a button and it locks

90
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:48.040
you into the parade. I'm now
seeing that you shouldn't do that. I'm

91
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:54.399
not learning. Okay, So here's
some weekend crap that you need to know

92
00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:00.199
about a lot of concerts. Tonight
Queen once again American heron Center Mike went

93
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.519
last Night Queen with Adam Lambert if
you missed my review earlier in the six

94
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.480
o'clock hour, and we started at
six am each and every day. That

95
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.199
was awesome. I had so much
fun. And if you're just like on

96
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.920
the fence and considering, go see
Queen with Adam Lambert tonight. Loved it.

97
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.759
Twenty four songs. I think I
probably knew eighteen nineteen of them,

98
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.839
and the ones I didn't know were
great too. Like I said earlier,

99
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:28.079
that's about as much just pure fun
as I had a concert in years.

100
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.120
It was. It was great.
It was a big rock show. Yeah,

101
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:36.240
it was a spectacle. They're amazing. Adam Lambert's perfect. I can't

102
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.759
remember the last time I was at
it. Well, you know Rolling Stones,

103
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.240
I guess Cotton Bowl a couple of
years back. That was a big

104
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.360
rock show. Yeah, but you
know some I don't know, there's ebbs,

105
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.879
andaloes of these things, and certainly
there are some quiet acoustic stuff.

106
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.279
But all in all, just fun
and the fact that I saw it last

107
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.439
night and you can see it tonight. Go see Queen tonight at Texas Trust

108
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:09.240
see You and Grand Prairie, Goodie
Mob, Bunby and Juvenile where you can

109
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.160
back then I bet there is a
good ten songs everyone will know from this

110
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:20.240
and party Yes, cast money girl, you look good? What? Yeah?

111
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:39.440
Crank? What are you just between
that? Kidd? Crank it all

112
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:54.840
of it, the whole song now
until we get to the parks? One

113
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:03.200
word money? When do we get
there? Because you get her hands in

114
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.519
the air. She's got a dumb
dumb. Oh, they might be a

115
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.000
big cross in now they're gonna get
throwed tonight with bun Be good times.

116
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.200
We never made it tonight at the
Long Worm Ballroom. It's been promoted as

117
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.320
the one concert you don't want to
miss this year. Christopher Cross, that's

118
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.600
tomorrow night, That's tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, I heard that promoted on

119
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.679
our very station. If there's one
concert this year you don't want to miss,

120
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.879
it's Christopher A. Cross. Is
that the sailing? Yeah? Sailing?

122
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.480
is good. But the one concert
that I don't want to miss. That

123
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.919
might be the one concert that I
kind of do miss and I afford to

124
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.759
miss. Yeah? What else does
he sing other than sailing? Right?

00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.440
have Washington number five still in the
mix at number twenty usc Caleb Williams look

151
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.039
out, and then you've got LSU
and Alabama. So games, pretty good

152
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.639
stuff, Big prey. MAVs play
tonight all for a reason against the Nuggies.

153
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.960
It'll be a late one first game
of attorney. And you can hear

154
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.600
that here on the Freak of course. And then MAVs to play Sunday right

155
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.960
around six point thirty. I think, so hear that on the Freak as

156
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.519
well. Because we are the home
of the Dallas Mavericks. Guys, I'm

157
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.720
going to pray You're not Dahn.
You work here. You don't just leave.

158
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.120
I do what I want. You
don't say what I want. I

159
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.759
do what I want. You do
neither of those. Neither of those.

160
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.240
You sit and talk until ten o'clock. That's what you do. He left

161
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.480
to play golf for charity. I
was told to leave by our bosses.

162
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.960
I was told to leave an hour
ago. They want me at a host's

163
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:52.720
locos set the scene. Bring my
phone. Yeah, make sure that your

164
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:58.399
camera lens is clean. Yeah,
I don't want any fuzzy photos coming back.

165
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.120
Well, you can stay if you
want or leave. It doesn't matter

166
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.600
because we have a special guest joining
us on the telephone because we have another

167
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.519
big event going on here in the
Metroplex, and this is one that's been

168
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.840
planned for a long time. It's
a big boy. This is pickleball related

169
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.399
and I've never played pickleball, but
we're going to talk to a dude who's

170
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.519
really, really good at it.
He's also the GM of the Dallas Pickleball

171
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.799
Club. As we have out at
Brookhaven Country Club Major League Pickleball MLP event

from yesterday, November fifth. It's
going on through Sunday, and we got

173
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.600
the GM of our local team,
Dave Fleming joining us. Dave, do

174
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.639
we have you? We do?
Good morning fella. How are you doing

175
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.120
man? You good, fantastic?
How are you? Life's pretty good?

176
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.759
Sports around this area are treating us
very well. And I know you guys

177
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.240
are excited to have a big boy
event out at Brookhaven. Why don't you,

178
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.919
I suppose just tell everyone what's going
on out there this weekend, the

179
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.200
center of the pickleball universe has come
to Dallas and specifically Brookhaven Country Club.

180
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:05.399
The best players in the world are
playing as teams and the Dallas Pickleball Club

181
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.200
will be playing on center Court today
at around noon and then later at five

182
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.279
o'clock. And this is a team
event Major League pickle Ball, where teams

183
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.000
that represent cities all over the country
are playing against each other. And you

184
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.639
want to see the excitement of team
competition within the fastest growing sport in the

185
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.559
world. Brookhaven Country Clubs the place
to get a question for Dave Fleming.

186
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.000
Go, well, you're we have
him on the phone. Oh he's here,

187
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.000
Yeah, great, God, how
are you okay? So fastest growing

188
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:48.919
sport in the country. Maybe briefly
explain to folks, pretend we're all idiots.

189
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.799
Man, in some cases you don't
have to pretend. But kind of

190
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.960
what is pickleball and why do you
feel like it's become the fastest growing sport.

191
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.440
Yeah, so, pickleball is you
use a paddle and it's played on

192
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.159
a surface like tennis, with the
pickle ball is actually like a wiffle ball,

193
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:13.480
and it's plastic and the net is
just two inches lower than a tennis

194
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.360
court and tennis court net and the
court is twenty feet by forty four feet,

195
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:24.440
so it's a little smaller. It
is a very social game, and

196
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.519
I think what has made it catch
on so well in the United States and

197
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:35.399
around the world is the fact that
people can play with all age groups.

198
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.840
So you can have my eighty year
old father playing against my nephews that are

199
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.639
collegiate that are in college. You
can have friends and neighbors playing and you

200
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.159
get a good workout, you get
to have fun, and people are actually

201
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.720
getting out and moving their bodies and
having fun about it. So I think

202
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.879
that's why it has caught on so
much. And I don't know anyone that's

203
00:15:54.960 --> 00:16:00.240
quit. It's one of the most
addicting sports that I've ever seen. Okay,

204
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.519
So one more follow up on that. Is it always played in a

205
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.519
doubles format or is there singles pickleball
matches as well? Great question, there's

206
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:15.559
both. On the pro side,
doubles is the most popular because what people

207
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.200
really love about pickleball is when folks
are close to the net and you get

208
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:25.240
these really fast exchanges. But you
can definitely go out and play singles as

209
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.879
well, just like tennis. Says
the most obvious comparison, and is it

210
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.840
always a volley situation or is the
ball allowed to touch the ground? O

211
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.360
it absolutely cannet the ground? Okay, yeah, but just one time,

212
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.559
right like in tennis? Yeaherka,
Okay, got you? Got you?

213
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.879
I think there's a lot, there's
a net, and then there's a line

214
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.960
and nothing happens in front of that
line. What are we doing? Yeah,

215
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.360
so you're referring to the no volley
zone as we call it. When

216
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:57.360
this game was originally created, the
forefather said, we don't want the dad

217
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.840
dominating and being able to stand right
next to the net. So there's a

218
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.640
seven foot area on both sides of
the net where you are not allowed to

219
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.759
step in there and volley the ball. You have to stand behind that line

220
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.799
exactly what you're referring to. Who
were the four fathers and why were the

221
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.680
four of them? There were several
of them as a family up in Bainbridge

222
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:29.440
Island, Washington who had some kids
that were and they took the equipment they

223
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.400
had around the backyard and sort of
put this together. The dimensions that I

224
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.400
described earlier are the same as badminton. So they had a badminton that they

225
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.799
lowered it had a couple of paddles
and literally a whiffle ball like we all

226
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.720
played in our backyard and created this
game that's now exploding across the country.

227
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.920
How did they market this to make
it a worldwide phenom? I mean you're

228
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:59.799
talking about a family in a backyard
and now there's leagues and tournaments and it's

229
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:03.720
a asked this growing sport. Did
they actually have a forward thinking business mindset

230
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.039
to actually put this out there?
Was it discovered by somebody else and said

231
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.519
hey, I know how to monetize
this? I mean, how did it

232
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.079
become so popular if it was just
a backyard game by one family. Yeah,

233
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.240
so I think they would have had
no idea that this could happen and

234
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:25.000
I think this has evolved over time. There's been a lot of people that

235
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:30.359
have put a lot of effort into
this to grow it. Tom Dundan,

236
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:38.400
who owns the Carolina Hurricanes and lives
here in Dallas heavily involved now is the

237
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:44.440
owner of the PPA, which is
like the regular like if you think tennis,

238
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.160
where you're playing matches as an individual
or with your partner, and that

239
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:53.119
will actually have its national championships at
Brookhaven after Major League Pickleball. So we

240
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:59.440
have Dallas Pickleball Club going today and
then that's next week. And the one

241
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.720
thing I think your listeners will really
want to know about it's Tuesday night,

242
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:10.960
November seventh, at seven pm.
We have the following studs from Dallas playing

243
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:19.480

Jason Kidds, Tyler Sagan loaded for who

244
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.319

252
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.599
Club. There are some big money, big support and a Mark Cuban,

253
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.720
our buddy Todd Wagner behind this thing, and Dirk himself. Have you uh,

254
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.279
have you traded volley's with the great
Dirk Novitsky on a pickleball court?

255
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:11.000
Definitely have this week. Dirk Dirk's
first Dirk's first sport was actually tennis,

256
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:17.200
So Dirk, Uh, Dirk is
uh, you know, the wingspan forever

257
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.559
and uh, the dude could swing
the paddle. So he he and John

258
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:26.200
Isner will be team tall out there
on Tuesday night. But Dirk's a fantastic

259
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.799
uh guy, and uh loves playing
a little pickle boy. I guess you're

260
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.200
when you're playing against a John Isner
or Dirk Novisky, you're happy to have

261
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.160
that seven foot no smash zone around
the net, right, You got that

262
