  • Luv it, but…

    Hey Dan , your show is one of my faves, & Go Gaby & Erin!! Loved the ‘live from Riyadh’ pods. Only thing is you always say girls. A little disconcerting… only slightly ok if you also all say boys. Sending huge respect to these women (or some of them young women) professional tennis players. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

  • Great guests

    Loved the latest ep with Liv, have enjoyed following her journey, she seems like a lovely level headed young lady and is a joy to watch. Agree with her, Billy Harris should be next guest! Also highly rate the preview/ review eps of the slams, the panels are a great mix and it really works.
