• Naomi's impact on the game
• Openness about mental health
• Return to the tour
• Music taste
• Level of gay icon-ness
• Much more!

Then we talk generally about Ben's experience on tour, including asking Serena about Britney Spears and the short shorts trend on the ATP. We even 'pick a number' during an NCR throwback.

Who doesn't love a bonus Humpday (and Valentine's Day!) treat? Since we can't cuddle up with Grigor Dimitrov, we decided to drop a bonus episode.

The Australian Open account shared an interview with Sloane Stephens, and per usual, Sloane crushed it. In it, she hilariously talks about winning another slam, her old beef with Victoria Azarenka (!) and much more. You can watch the video here.

We recap the video and then remind everyone about how dramatic, iconic and ridiculous the 2013 Australian Open was for the ladies. Enjoy this short bonus episode from us!

The Traitors Season 2 (US) has taken over gay culture! The queer community can't get enough, helping make it one of the biggest reality TV shows ever on streaming. Why? Because of the campy drama from an all star cast and iconic host.

In this episode, we cast an all tennis version of the show. Who will we cast? And who will go all the way? Listen now to find out! This is one of our most fun episodes yet.

And to keep with the reality TV theme, we also discuss the "reality show" promo the ATP released this week. If you haven't seen it, check it out here.
