WE'RE BACK BABY. Yes, we took some time off during the holidays because even podcast boys need some R&R. And just like that, the Australian Open is upon us. We're fired up and we hope you are too. On this episode, we catch up a bit, preview the tournament, and talk about fashion because we are fashion icons ourselves. Also -new year, new DABP. We now have time stamps so you can skip all of the trash parts of the episode and listen to what you want AKA Dan Pacheco fan mail.

Hey guys, we hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all of our supporters and all of our future supporters. Even thankful for the haters. 
Anyway, Dean and I recap  the ATP Finals in Turin, talk about the relevance or non-relevance of Davis Cup, and shoutout some friends of the pod who are looking forward to the 2023 season. 

We have FINALLY secured a special guest on the show - and it was awesome. Friend of the pod Scott Brown, current head coach of M/W Squash @ Connecticut College, joins the boys to talk tennis, life, and more. Give it a listen and share with your ex. 

Hey guys, long time no see. In this episode, Dean and I run back a few of the recent tournaments, and look ahead to the Paris Master / ATP Finals in Turin. Simona also got caught for PEDs so she may be F'd. Fan mail for some laughs at the end. 

Our hero, Roger, finally calls it quits and we all cry. Mostly me but yes all of us. Dean and I break down the retirement, relive some of our favorite memories, and discuss the Laver Cup in Londontown. Of course some fun fan mail to close this mf out. 

Yes, we know Roger is retiring. But we recorded this before the announcement. 
In this double digit episode, Dean and I recap the electric tournament that was the US Open. Tiafoe almost pulled out the unthinkable, but the young man Carlito is up next... or up now actually. Tune in. 

Absolutely action packed episode here folks. Big US Open talk -  Serena bows out for the last time,  electric men's matches, and more. Somehow Bill Clinton made an appearance in this one too.....???? .....!!!!

End of August vibes for sure here. Dean and I recap the two Masters 1000s and look ahead to the US Open. Glog glog or glug glug? Find out.
