from Russian Influencers & Dying At Work | The Tim Dillon Show #408 · #408

3 min

Tim recounts childhood memories of quiet, civilized US Open tennis with his grandfather versus today's loud crowds eating $100 caviar-dunked chicken nuggets, and mocks people obsessing over player rankings like Yannick Sinner.

In this bit6 moments
  • Tim decided he had to attend the US Open to feel like he'd lived.
  • His grandfather used to take him to the US Open as a kid, where he once handed Martina Navratilova a towel.
  • Tim's parents put him in a tennis clinic as a young child, hoping he'd become a tennis player.
  • The US Open used to be completely silent, but now it's loud and democratized.
  • Even in expensive courtside seats, people behind Tim were talking drunk and eating chicken nuggets with caviar on them.
  • Tim tried the caviar nuggets and found them too salty—both the chicken and the caviar are overly salty.
