Listen "Episode 100: Serena's Swansong"
Episode Synopsis
Serena's legendary tennis career has come to an end. Chad and John recorded an episode before Williams' third-round loss (please forgive Chad for predicting she would make it to the semi-finals), but there still are a lot of insights to be gained from the way she went out and competed in this final US Open of her career. On today's show:
John talks a bit about the new face of world soccer, and why he is so dominant in the Premier League (4:00). Then the guys discuss Serena's Williams first two matches in the US Open, both wins, and reflect on how she was able to raise her game to a level nobody thought she could (7:20).
Then, we discuss the first two episodes of The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime (29:40). What did we love about the show so far, what can we expect going forward, and we hand out a few awards from this stunning premiere.
