The guys settle into a fun show covering Canadian pet peeves in honor of the Canadian Masters, from surprise tax bills and stacked restaurant taxes to the Queen still appearing on currency, no AC in Montreal, and the metric system. They also preview Cincinnati with both Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz out, debating who’s actually the favorite while considering Zverev and Novak, and praising Cincinnati’s player amenities, food, upgrades, and Skyline Chili. Plus, they tackle life advice on whether a dad should ever “let” his 17-year-old win, how to handle witnessing an awkward locker room moment and pitch a tennis version of golf’s Internet Invitational featuring influencers, personalities, and a prize purse. 00:00 Cold Open Chaos 00:28 Show Setup and Segments 00:51 Sam’s Cincinnati 5K Recap 02:27 Credentials Awkward Moment 04:15 Canadian Pet Peeves Draft 13:57 Cincy…
