The boys are back with a special guest: former World No. 8 and John’s favorite doubles partner, Diego Schwartzman. Diego opens up about his plans for retirement in 2025, reflecting on his journey to the top, sharing stories of his favorite matches, and the moments he’ll never forget on tour.

With Halloween around the corner, Jack, Sam, Stevie, and John exchange dad-life Halloween experiences before ranking the best and worst of the holiday's candy (candy corn).

Fresh off Saudi Arabia’s Six Kings Slam, the squad weighs in on the event, Sinner’s impressive run and it's jaw-dropping prize money. And in a pull from the Major Mailbag, a listener asks where each of the pod hosts would be ranked if they made a comeback on tour in 2025.
