For our 50th episode, we’re kicking things off with Reilly Opelka, who delivers a masterclass in Servebot 101. What does it really mean to be a Servebot? Opelka dives into the struggles of being too tall for European travel, shares stories from his junior days, and plays John’s new favorite game, “Bot or Not”—where no player is safe.

The guys debate armpit hair (yes, really), and open up about the mental toll of life on tour, from appearance fees to the pressure of not letting tournaments down.

Plus, we also dig into the Houston tournament, breaking down everything that makes it special—housing families, top-tier hospitality, and that unbeatable March Madness atmosphere.
