22: The Naughty List, Offseason Drug Testing, & Answering Audience Questions | EP 22

Nothing Major

Sam, Jack, John, and Stevie get into the spirit in this week’s holiday special!
The boys are feeling festive as they exchange and unwrap their Secret Santa gifts from one another. Can they figure out who gave what?
With Santa's big day just around the corner, it's time for a debate on who belongs on tennis' Naughty and Nice lists, including a famously “nice guy” who ends up on the receiving end of some metaphorical coal after a meltdown that had Stevie grinning.
With the festivities behind them, the gang then dives into an offseason themed Mailbag answering audience questions on how they prepared during their own winter breaks, dealing with out of competition drug testing and the keys to a successful offseason.
Finally, Sam puts Stevie, Jack, and John’s tennis knowledge to the test with a new segment to finish the show.
