00:00One thing we didn't mention in the first segment, we were talking about Messi, who's dominating.
00:04He's the leading goal scorer in the World Cup, and he's 39.
00:08Most people thought when he won it for Argentina last time that he was going to walk off not playing
00:13this World Cup, and he is, at 39.
00:18Is Jokovic is doing the same thing in Wimbledon.
00:21He had a 5-hour and 15-minute match.
00:24That's crazy.
00:24Now he might not win it.
00:25We'll see.
00:26But he's still playing very well.
00:30Yeah.
00:32It's pretty incredible.
00:34I agree.
00:34He's unbelievable.
00:35These old guys are still playing really, really well.
00:40Usually this is where he taps out, though.
00:42He plays great and gets to the semis, and then he taps out.
00:46So Sinner will be a huge favorite.
00:49But it's still very impressive.
00:51It's crazy.
00:52And Coco got to the Wimbledon.
00:54And it's the first time she's ever been to Wimbledon semis, too, I believe.
00:58But she's still 22, I think.
01:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:0122 or 23.
01:02Yeah, but gives you someone to root for.
01:04It's pretty incredible.
01:05So she beat Pagoula or whatever?
01:07Yep.
01:09I think she, doesn't she own Pagoula?
01:11Dravy?
01:11Doesn't she own?
01:12I can't.
01:12I don't think so, yeah.
01:13I don't remember the last time Pagoula ever beat her.
01:15I've kind of lost track the last day or two of Wimbledon, to be honest with you.
01:18Well, Novak did make the final of the Aussie Open this year.
01:23And then he lost, you know, in January.
01:27Oh, Aussie Open.
01:28The Aussie Open, yeah.
01:29Then he was playing well in the French, and then he lost in like the third or fourth round.
01:32But I'd never count him out.
01:36Believe me, I root for him.
01:37I root for him against Sinner.
01:39I root for all the old farts.
01:40I was even rooting for old-ass Serena in her singles match when she got the wild card.
01:45I don't know if you were here when we discussed it.
01:47I think you weren't here.
01:49Her winning a set, was that a big deal?
01:52I mean, maybe you deserve some props.
01:55She's 45 years old.
01:57I mean, look.
01:57I watched that match.
02:00She looks physically like she did when she was like 36 or something.
02:04Maybe actually even better.
02:06She was thinner, obviously, because of her endorsement deal and, you know, whatever she's using.
02:11Is it similar to Ozempic?
02:12Yeah, it's something similar.
02:13She looks dynamite.
02:14It's just hard to overcome age and no reps.
02:19She hasn't had high-intensity reps for a long time.
02:23Inactivity, age.
02:24Yeah, it's really hard to overcome it.
02:26But if you looked at her from a physical standpoint.
02:27But she was competitive is the point.
02:28Totally competitive.
02:29She came back and was competitive.
02:30Totally competitive.
02:31Just real rusty.
02:33I'm pretty sure we had the guy on.
02:35We had our guy, Ein, on.
02:36I'm pretty sure he's going to finagle away, get her playing here.
02:40Certainly, if not doubles.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Certainly, I think doubles.
02:44Doubles.
02:44Yes.
02:44Certainly doubles.
02:45Maybe singles.
02:48She appears to want to play.
02:50I mean, I'm guessing the serve never really goes away.
02:54She was dominant with her serve.
02:57The power never goes away.
02:58And she looked so fit.
02:59The other one that jumped out at me, and I guess she lost, was Osaka.
03:05How fit she was.
03:06Who beat her?
03:09Who did she have after she beat Sabalenka?
03:12I don't have it in front of me.
03:13I'm not trying to quiz you guys.
03:14She lost to Muchova.
03:17So, Coco plays Muchova.
03:19Yeah.
03:20I thought.
03:20In the semis.
03:21So, they're down to the semis.
03:23Almost to the semis.
03:26Is Jokovic beloved?
03:28He's not really beloved, right?
03:30For some reason, I would say Federer kind of was.
03:33Nadal was.
03:35Jokovic, for whatever reason, I don't think the fans have truly embraced him.
03:39Sometimes.
03:39I think he's polarizing.
03:40Maybe as he's gotten older, he is, but.
03:42I think people still root for him.
03:44I respect the heck out of the guy.
03:46Yeah.
03:46I would think when Sinner's playing Joker, bitch, I mean, there'd be a lot of Joker fans.
03:51He's definitely not beloved.
03:52I love him.
03:53He's one of my all-time favorites, but he's unconventional.
03:57He yells at the crowd.
03:59He yells at the player.
04:00Yeah, he gets into it.
04:00You know what?
04:01He's got personality.
04:02He's also very.
04:04He's got very specific beliefs about stuff.
04:06Yeah.
04:06Of course.
04:07He's disagreeing with him, but I respect him.
04:09He's highly passionate.
04:10And he's not, you know, Federer is like a gentleman.
04:13Nadal never slams a racket.
04:14Right, right, right.
04:14Never.
04:15Nadal just had that kind of natural charisma.
04:18I guess maybe, you know, the cutoff shirts all the time.
04:20But Drabby, I respect that about him, that he's like that.
04:23He kind of shows him.
04:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:25I mean, earlier in his career, he was like a goofball.
04:27He would mock Nadal in the middle of matches and stuff.
04:31He's matured sensitive.
04:32Yeah, but he's good impersonations and stuff.
04:34And I think when you see him in when it's not a match situation, you see him like hitting
04:39with the girls or whatever, you know, he's having fun.
04:42I'm rooting for him.
04:43Yeah.
04:43Now, if he ends up playing Fritz in the finals, I'm obviously rooting for Fritz, the American,
04:47but I'm rooting for him against Sinner.
04:49Sinner's just kind of boring.
04:50I mean, Sinner's great, but Sinner's just for greatness.
04:52Over Fritz?
04:53Yeah, just greatness.
04:54It's nice for greatness.
04:56It's nice for greatness.
04:57You usually say that about me.
04:58I'm rooting for all the guys, the great guys, the favorites.
05:01That's true.
05:02That's true.
05:03I don't always like to root for the...
05:04I don't know that he'd be a favorite.
05:05I guess he'd be a favorite against Fritz.
05:07Maybe.
05:08Might be pretty even.
05:10Fritz has never won a major, right?
05:12I don't think so.
05:13I think somewhat close.
05:15No, an American hasn't won a Grand Slam in years and years and years.
05:18Syntherotic.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Yeah.
05:20I would root for...
05:22I think I would root for...
05:24Joker?
05:24Yeah.
05:25Over Fritz?
05:26Yeah, I mean, if Fritz won, it'd be great.
05:28Great story.
05:29Fritz has...
05:29I hate it, but I like greatness.
05:31Fritz plays Zverev, and that's going to be tough.
05:33Imagine how terrible sports would be if we had no great ones.
05:36I could tell you.
05:37Everybody wins one?
05:38Yeah, if we just have a bunch of bums.
05:40I already forgot who's the guy that won the golf major.
05:44Aaron Rye.
05:45If you just had a bunch of Tom Kites, the guys that win one.
05:49Aaron Rye.
05:50Aaron Rye.
05:51Rye.
05:52R-A-I.
05:53R-A-I.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Sure, he's a great player.
05:56Much like Taylor Fritz, but...
05:58Mm-hmm.
05:58Yeah, you need guys who win.
06:00You need greatness.
06:01Sure.
06:02It's great when Scotty dominates.
06:04It's great when Rory...
06:05Speaking of golf, you've got the Scottish this week.
06:08You've got two tournaments.
06:08You've got the Isco and the Scottish, but Scottish Open has a great field.
06:11But next week is the Open.
06:13I know.
06:14And where are they playing?
06:15Southport?
06:16England?
06:17Burkdale?
06:18Well, these are usually all over it.
06:20Is it Burk...
06:20No, it's not Burkdale.
06:22Burkdale was last year.
06:23They're not playing at Burkdale?
06:25They might be Burkdale.
06:26I can look it up.
06:26It's not the old course.
06:28It's not Turnberry.
06:29You can do it by elimination, maybe.
06:32Burkdale sounds right.
06:33Let's see.
06:34Yeah, Burkdale.
06:35Burkdale, yeah.
06:36So that's next week.
06:38Yeah.
06:39I'll be excited.
06:40We'll have it on.
06:41Oh, yeah.
06:43So they've got some stuff going on in the middle of July.
06:46Usually it's pretty dead.
06:47I did watch the Nats yesterday for four or five innings.
06:52Watched when Coop came in, their new lefty reliever they brought in.
06:56Well, you should always watch the leadoff.
06:58Yeah, you're going to miss.
06:59Because James had another leadoff home run.
07:01Ricky Henderson, does he still have the record for most leadoff home runs?
07:05That must have been career, right?
07:06Who has it for a single season?
07:08Well, I know that Wood just passed the Nationals record already for the season,
07:12which was Alfonso Soriano.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Well, who has the Major League Baseball single season leadoff home run record?
07:19I mean, you'd have to look it up.
07:20I think Ricky had the all-time, maybe.
07:22He doesn't now?
07:23Maybe.
07:23I don't know.
07:24I just haven't updated my file.
07:26But I think at one point that's what Ricky had.
07:29Schwarber did it two years ago.
07:31What was his number?
07:32Fifteen.
07:33Fifteen.
07:33And how many does Woody have?
07:34Six or seven?
07:35No, he's got eight this year.
07:38He's got a fighting chance.
07:39We talked about him yesterday.
07:40He's just having a crazy, crazy year.
07:43He's got a fighting chance?
07:44He's pooping on his numbers from last year.
07:48You can't call him Woody.
07:50That's a hurting nickname.
07:51You don't like Woody?
07:52I don't like Woody.
07:53Okay.
07:54Well, what do you call him?
07:55J-Dub?
07:55I call him J-Dub.
07:56James?
07:58No, you've got to call him.
07:59Or Wood?
08:00I don't mind Woody.
08:01It's kind of a hurting.
08:02Why is it a hurting?
08:03It's a hurting.
08:04If he's thinking about his Johnson.
08:07That's why.
08:09Or Toy Story.
08:11I think you could call him Woody.
08:14I don't know.
08:14It just came out naturally.
08:15I didn't think of it.
08:17It wasn't.
08:18That might be a problem, too.
08:20It wasn't.
08:21Yeah, it wasn't some calculated thing.
08:22That's a better nickname.
08:24What?
08:26Than Woody.
08:27What's a better nickname?
08:28Just say we need to find a better nickname.
08:30Oh.
08:30Than Woody.
08:31I don't know.
08:31I wouldn't be surprised if his nickname on the team, though, is Woody.
08:35Because when we have Taboney on the show.
08:37I'm guessing I didn't make that up.
08:39Taboney.
08:40I can't remember which player it was.
08:42But he was doing kind of the hockey bit.
08:44Where he was throwing in last names.
08:46I can't remember who he was talking about.
08:47Like Lord.
08:48Brad Lordy.
08:49Yeah.
08:49There's somebody.
08:49I can't remember.
08:50He was like, yeah, there's a Lordy.
08:51It jumped out at me the last interview.
08:53It was like, oh, they're doing the hockey bit.
08:55Yeah.
08:55Where everybody had that type of nickname.
08:58Right.
08:58I'll find out what the players call him.
09:00But it just proved that, you know, it's great that they have all these runs.
09:05But you live and die by it.
09:07You're not going to get 12 runs every game.
09:11No.
09:11You know.
09:12Nope.
09:13Three and a half back in the wild card.
09:15So still in the mix.
09:16But obviously they've got weaknesses starting pitching and bullpen.
09:21Throughout the bullpen.
09:22Yep.
09:23All right.
09:24Phone numbers 1-800-636-1067.
09:27Coming up next, this is a very EV story.
09:29There's a parasite causing havoc on the East Coast.
09:33We'll get into that next here on The Junkies.
09:35We'll get into that next here on The Junkies.
