100: US Open 2025: Round 4 Recap & Quarterfinals Preview | EP 100
The pod hits triple digits, and Sam immediately blows the budget - dropping $663 on hotel laundry in New York. That fiasco sets the tone for an episode packed with shaky quarterfinal predictions, a surprisingly deep dive into life choices, and a full Round 4 recap.
From Anna Wintour lurking courtside to Jason Biggs randomly popping up, the celebrity sightings nearly stole the show… nearly. The guys break down Felix’s revival, Alcaraz’s shot-of-the-year candidate, Novak’s effortless cruise, and Fritz’s eternal struggle against him.
On the women’s side, Iga keeps steamrolling, Osaka looks dangerous again after taking out Coco, Pegula is gliding quietly under the radar, and Krejcikova delivered what might be the match of the tournament.
Things wrap up with one of the wildest Life Advice questions yet. The guys dish out surprisingly heartfelt guidance—sandwiched between trash talk about their bracket challenge and scheming over who’s doomed to write and sing a jingle. Chaotic, sharp, and accidentally sincere… basically the perfect 100th episode.

99: US Open 2025: Round 3 Recap & Round 4 Preview | EP 99
Round 3 of the US Open had everything: injuries, drama, and plenty of star power in the stands. We dig into Ben Shelton’s tough setback, Sinner’s tricky test against Shapo, Alcaraz’s dominant run, and Taylor Fritz quietly holding strong. And yes, we even get into the celeb scene, from Russell Wilson and LL Cool J courtside to who didn’t quite make the “celebrity cut.”
On the women’s side, Coco Gauff bounced back after a shaky start, while Taylor Townsend kept the drama rolling. Now all eyes are on the blockbuster clash between Gauff and Naomi Osaka, a matchup that could help define the tournament.
We wrap with some chatter on tennis’s unwritten rules (do you really have to apologize for a let cord?), a few fan habits that drive us crazy, and an update on our bracket standings… let’s just say not everyone’s thrilled.

97: US Open 2025: Round 1 Recap & Round 2 Preview | EP 97
Round 1 of the US Open had it all: celebrity gossip, bad haircuts, and Daniil Medvedev screaming at photographers.
We start with the essential Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce update (because, priorities), then break down Carlos Alcaraz’s brother-approved buzzcut.
Medvedev’s meltdown gets the full debate treatment, with zero agreement on who was right. Venus Williams throws it back with flashes of vintage Venus, Madison Keys crashes out way too soon, and the American women keep things spicy.
Then, we wrap the episode with the best Round 2 popcorn matches and a very questionable look at the US Open’s celebrity guest list.
