You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. So a documentary came out, a short documentary short for GQ Sports came out recently. It's called Ball People. And it's about the ball kids that you see, or not I should say ball kids, ball people, that you see it or not I should say ball kids, ball people that you see at the US open and the actual selection process, which I had no idea. I just figured it was like ball kids at an NBA arena or it's like, yeah, did you do it last year?

Well, you'll do it this year until when are you graduating? And then we'll get someone else in or whatever that someone knows that was a referral program. But it turns out like there's this whole tryout. They do every year. And it's open to all ages. So there's a guy who's like 60 years old trying out. There's a girl who's like 14 and everything in between. And they've got all these different techniques and things that they have to do

from how to hold the ball to how to run across the thing to how to roll the ball down. It's really fascinating. I think you catch it on YouTube. It's called ball people. But on the topic of ball people and tennis in the ball down, it's really fascinating. I think you catch it on YouTube, it's called ball people. But on the topic of ball people and tennis in the US open, you got some US open tune ups happening. And, um,

Hey, is he? I'm just gonna say this and I'm gonna go. You can't just come in here and try to ruin someone's reputation. All right. I'ma say this. I love you. The coolest thing in the world. You want to talk it out, cool, but I would prefer if you keep my name

I never said your name. I never said your name your name was not uttered and I love both of you guys's names and the people You see mouthwash you too. He did hit up that mouthwash Again, I just want to do show, but some people I thought we were there I thought we were there several times back to ball. Several times you get pulled back into this. I mean, would you say that is he is? I don't know. No, just don't. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Stop. God, out of all, like I've been trying to be positive in the wake of this show the entire day,

and you ruined it. Ball people on GQ Sports YouTube channel, go ahead and check it out, but on the topic of tennis during a US Open tune up, Jimmy Butler, made an appearance. He was dressed like one of the ball people, and then he got to get some action in. Let's play the video.

I'm, again, I'll tell you what to do. Drop shot, got it. And then he got to get some action in let's play the video Again, I think I can give him tell me what to do drop shot got it Oh Jimmy's back in you serve something in the butler you sir. I don't serve You're sure I don't want to serve hey Hey, sir, you served no, sir, do a fast one so I can show you, I can hit it back. Go big. Hello, hold on, hold on, push, push. You get the cannon right here? Ah!

No, then I can cut it. Ah, the sound. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By the virtue of every rule that's to got his record book, Jimmy Butler won that. He did. What Jimmy is so likable in these settings. So it goes against his reputation inside the locker rooms. But if you only know Jimmy from post game interviews or Michelob commercial or playing dominoes

on the scene of Hannah. And I don't know if it's like his personality is such where he can turn on a dime, but it's public personas is super like him. When I tell you, this is a, I don't know if it's uniquely basketball, but it is a basketball thing. There are all these people who, they're amazing human beings until you hand them a clip, order a basketball, and then they turn into monsters. Probably the best example is Tom DeBito. I work with Tom DeBito at ESPN.

That dude's amazing. Yeah, he's super nice. Look at me, Louis. Yeah, I don't think I mean this is actually a color that's a little bit suspicious. Yeah, I mean, come on. I don't know. I don't know.

Did you guys work with Tom DeBro? Because he has. I'm just giving by way of example, someone who people look at as probably has no personality, no fun or whatever. And Tib just like that, he's actually a very fun, funny person, except when he's coaching a basketball team that he turns into, you know, what you see on TV. And I think Jimmy is the same way. I think away from basketball, he's a very

likable, delightful human being. I think that's why some of his teammates or all of his teammates, at least down here, seem to really love Jimmy, is that he does show off parts of that personality while still being like the over competitive maniac that he is. It worth in at times two seasons ago and even last year, when there's moments of struggle with the team. Yeah. And so he gets irritable.

We only know this Jimmy Butler who is magnetic. That is a really fun personality. Yeah. And by the way, he's got a lot of friends. He does. A diverse amount of friends, right? Friends in tennis. These friends with name are into a gender reveal in Brazil for name are. Yeah. And then as one guy's too. That one movie. He wants to office Christmas party pile by the way. I like that movie. Put it on the pole, did you? Oh, look at us. Yeah. Speaking of polls, dude, you can you update us on some polls?

Transition. Oh, yes, I can. Play the thing music, Chris. This polls got the music? Nope. Nope. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, know, though, thank you, Juju. The polls are brought to you by Dollar Shave Club. Epic crazers, Epicly affordable, find them in stores, or I'm on. There you go.

Dollar Shave Club also sponsors the pickleball match between me, Jessica Smajana, Roy and Chris Cody, where we beat them 11 to one, and after review, which had been on Evan Azero. Well, why? They also sponsored the all-star weekend thing that we did with Rudy Gaye. It's a very popular thing. Shout out to the SD.. So let's a t-shirt or something. Dollar shake club should golf start allowing crowd noise

79% of the audience said yes really 21% said no Thoughts on that. No, you know, I said I like I'd like to keep the people's championship the way it is and everyone else has to be square So I'm gonna be on the no side on that. Yes, I'll ski. Oh, number two, who has top five lists at Narnvuk or David Sampson. Excuse me. 45% says Adnan Burke. Whoa. 55% say David Sampson. I've been up totally moly.ly salute to them boys that on Thursday thunder audience is split though. I surprised it's that split and surprised David one

And the answer is not shocking. 88% of the people said tell us with 12% of the audience said Drake. We have an intelligent audience. Damn. Should the NFL get magicians to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show? Yeah.

Instead of musicians. Who's who's who's the death of that? I made that pull up and put it on the pole. Wow. No, we brought that up. Yeah, that happened. Yeah, that happened. Good on you for putting it on the pole.

So not like you. Not like what he wore at Utah when we were with Rudy Gay for that Dull Shad. You could got you guys couldn't hear the audio that great, but he had on some bullshit that they serves and ma'am. I pulled it off. And he was confident while doing it with them on it, by the way, we call that a shagging to hood. But 82% of the audience

says yes to magicians and 18% says keep the party going with musicians. 18% don't out of fun fun. And for the rest of the polls we're gonna switch it over to my sister in the Lord. Lochini. Oh thanks Lucifer Lucifer. Luc, I used to tell people in the South. That was my name and that joke never hit. Not a single time, but I kept doing it. But back to polls. All right, does Greg Cody deserve the credit for getting messy to finally speak to the press? 76% said yes, 24 no. That feels better. Yeah, he does. Is Donald Trump the same height and weight as Derek Henry? Yeah, we find out. We find out today.

Yeah, we find out. He's bigger. 54% said yes. 46 said no. Come back real quick. The no is he's hope. Yeah, he should have all sliced it into like weight, like over under. Over, definitely.

Can you go number one with other people around? I loved reading that. 81% said yes, which I feel like it should be higher. No, you are not. That means one in five people. That's crazy. Shy bladders. Yeah.

It is time. I'm gonna say no. It is time for Thursday thunder brought to you by our friends at Draft King Sportsbook. You can follow along on our parlay on the Draft King Sports Book app. We love draft Kings as well. Yes, we do. And for the first leg of this Thursday Thunder, bought to you by Draft Kings, not Dollar Shave Club in which we beat Roy and Chris. Come on, man. I'm about to walk

out of here. Alana Smith over six and a half rebounds. She's been doing wonderful for the Chicago sky. She recently died her half blonde, and we all know, blondes have more rebounds. So I'm off with a line of Smith tonight. Roy, what do you got? Quick and easy one. Here we got lions at cheese for precincts, the football.

Cheese is gonna win that one on the mull you line. Yes, sir. My Ryan, what are you cooking up in there? I cooked up a Brazilian soccer team that I was told wasn't available. So do I have to just say, alright, I'll just take a guess. Are the Dodgers playing today? Let's see if the Dodgers are playing. I didn't know that I was supposed to have a pick.

Yeah, we are back, lovely. Thank you for the Dodgers playing. I was supposed to have a pick What's the back of the way? Thank you The Dodgers are currently playing currently playing in Are they were losing? They are winning three one. That was my pick What a shame well our pick goes to college football week zero everybody Yes, oh, we know Jessica's metana is currently what what's that Roy? The Dodge is doing a double header the second game is that three ten is that two

No I want to first one too late I was really feeling the first one I really feel the first one but with Jess out in Ireland for the Navy Northern Dame game presently Northern Dame is a 20 and a half point favorite. And those of us here in the shipping container think that's too much. That is a mediocre. That's a pretty big spread. So we're gonna say,

we're gonna say, Navy plus 20 and a half is the final leg. Thursday. I thought that was a different game against this one. Again, that actually was Thursday Thunder, brought to you by the good people that drive kings That was the split. Again, that actually was Thursday Thunder, brought to you by the good people at Draft King's and Draft King Sportsbook.

Salute. Play responsibly. How does game play? Responsibly. Hey, Lee. Shout out to Joe. you
