Paul is joined by Ball Boys mainstay Matthew Coleman to chat all things locked, both on and off the court. Who is locking in and winning titles like Alcaraz and Novak, who is having a ruined end to the year like Sabalenka, and who is locking in and coming out on top? We have our Locksbians that cover Ostapenko’s changeovers and Sasnovich’s changed serve. We also try to uncover the mystery of Jannik Sinner's year - we just want to know the secrets! And we have a heated debate about tipping culture for challengers. Plus we have a new BaeTP featuring Vacherot and Fils, and a new game called Goldilocks to predict who is finishing the year off best.

Join Paul and Reid for our US Open Recap show. We’re bringing you the honey dues, honey dudes, honey news, and honey feuds of the tournament. We start off with a speed round of Name that Butt and our Lobsbians including the first final ever between two game men. And yes of course the Nipplelodeon that was the Open this year. And at least one of us was ok when the girls were covered. We unpack the dominance that was Elena Rybakina and debate what Sabalenka needs to do to get back to number 1. On the men’s side, we’re still in an American drought, which might be matching the climate. But along the way we found a slew of records from the Open and we’ll be discussing them like a broken record. And we have our first democratically elected BaeTP. Unless of course someone stuffed their box.

Today’s show is a special one in honor of Dolly Parton. Paul is joined by tennis super fan and GRUNT member Reid Rohling as we get ready for the final slam of the year, the US Open. We play New Balls Please to probe Reid on just how gay he is for tennis. And we round up our lobsbians which straddle everything from changeover beers to men’s makeovers. We recap Cincinnati with our WKRP run down and then we turn our attention to the US Open. We debate if the Mixed Doubles really counts as a slam, we brush off our crystal balls to predict the winners and losers. And we have a special segment called Bally Pardons where we look for the silver lining in some chaotic US Open choices.
