  • BOT 113: Life on Clay

    Clay season is in full effect fam! The tennis calendar is moving right along as we close in on completing the first half of the year. We'll be ridin' durty for the next few months until we transition to grass, so dust off your old play clothes and hop in muck with us! This week, the Bruthas cover a cluster of clay tournaments including the Bavarian International Tennis Championships in Germany, and also lead us into the action at the Madrid Open. Come on in, and get caught up on all of the red-clayed action!

  • BOT 112: SPECIAL GUEST – RASHEEDA MCADOO

    We got a guuuud one for you today fam! As tennis fans, of course we’re enamored with the titans of the sport; the Serenas, the Rogers, the Nadals...etc. However, we also love to follow the up-and-comers, those who aren't necessarily considered “next gen,” but who are coming up through the rankings, and carving out their own spot on the tour. On this episode, the Bruthas sit down with rising star Rasheeda McAdoo, a former Georgia Tech standout and daughter of basketball Hall of Famer, Bob McAdoo (who is apparently a huge tennis fan! Who knew?). Listen in as she walks us through her journey through the rankings, and expounds on how the game of tennis has impacted her life overall.

  • BOT 111: The Madness We Call Professional Tennis

    Fam, fam, fam...not sure what’s in the water but there’s A LOT going on out there in the world of tennis, and the Bruthas are keyed up for it all! This episode is filled with all kinds of spunk and energy as the Bruthas are on one while previewing Stuttgart’s Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, the Istanbul Cup, and reviewing all that went down last week. We also decided to give you guys a treat by extending the recording this week in order to capture the exclusive/interactive Locker Room session the Bruthas had after the podcast concluded. Every week, you hear the Bruthas encouraging you to join them on Locker Room to interact and join in on the fun. Well, this is just a sample of what typically happens after the podcast closes, and they invite listeners to the stage to offer up their own views on the madness! 9 times out of 10 hilarity ensues! Take a listen, enjoy, and join us on the Locker Room App!

  • BOT 110: First Time, Home Time…

    What's up fam? The Bruthas are back this week with another take on the tennis tour haps.  They recognize a first time winner on the women's tour and a home country winner on the men's tour.  Their big question is  whether anyone can stop a Djokovic/Nadal final at this week's Monte Carlo Open?  Better yet, can anyone stop Rafa from winning his 12th title there?  Take a listen and enjoy the ride!

  • BOT 109: Miami Open Results

  • BOT 108: SPECIAL GUEST – RODNEY RAPSON

    Welcome back fam! We’re taking you to another dimension on this one, so strap yourselves into the BOT spaceship, and get ready for the ride! 🚀 On this episode, the Bruthas get their geek on and talk with Rodney Rapson, Managing Director of PlaySight Interactive EU & UK. He and his partners’ technological advances have been credited with giving life to tennis during the height of the pandemic when all other sports where effectively cancelled. These lasting changes to the way the game is managed not only saved the sport from being completely dormant in 2020, but they have also set up tennis to move into the future. We’re tekkies today folks! Come on in and see how technology is creating a lasting impact on the sport we love. Enjoy!

  • BOT 105B: Two in One

    Here’s part B of our dual-episode treat fam. Listen in as the Bruthas break down the 2021 Miami Open draws.

  • BOT 105A: One in Two

    G’day fam! Aren’t yall loving all of this good tennis going on out here? After being deprived of life and sports beginning just about a year ago, it’s so wonderful to be able to watch some good ‘ol uninterrupted tennis that mimics somewhat what we were used to pre-pandemic. We hope things continue to move in the direction in which we’re going, and look forward to the days when the stadiums can be packed again to check out some live matches. As I digress, please note that digression will be the theme of the next two episodes as the Bruthas try to cover the latest and greatest in the world of tennis, including the 2021 Miami Open draws, but ultimately dive into other interesting topics as spawned by their subscribers on IG Live. They manage to get into the hot 250’s that went down last week, but couldn’t get to the upcoming tourney in Miami. Determined to give the people what they want AND need, they follow up this episode with an entertaining part “B” that gets back on the original track of this delightful journey which includes their thoughts on the tournament in the “Magic City.” Press play, and come along for this dual-episode ride...
