Friday Group Chat

Jake, Scott, Isaac, and Kyle dive into Championship Sunday at PPA Mesa, Rachel's hunt for double gold, and a wild 5.0 tournament experience that included a cowboy hat controversy, Crocs on court, and a shoe that literally fell apart mid-match.

We also get into Kyle's AI song obsession (Jake is NOT a fan), Scott and Isaac's Mandarin learning journey, the highly anticipated 60 yard dash race results, and Isaac gets a breakup letter he didn't see coming.
