  • WADA Mess*
    Feb 25 2025

    Since 2025 is turning out to be pretty damn messy and the Ball Boys aren't holding anything back. We're putting the Butt in Rebuttal with our in-depth probing of the "Hottie Bracket," have an immodest proposal for all doping going forward, and celebrate the ladies of the WTA who have to put up with messes that frankly a Ball Boy just misses. Tune in, get dirty, keep it clean.


    *In keeping with the theme of "Messy" a previous version had some technical issues, so if that one downloaded, ignore her; this is the one you want.

  • Texas Hold'him
    Feb 10 2025

    The ball boys are bouncing around the globe hitting all our favorite 500's and eating up the results and insane trick shots. We talk the Dallas Open which is hotter than ever as a 500 and on the heels of Queen B winning AOTY at last week's Grammys. Plus we honor two timing broads - that’s a bad girls club we want to join - and Paul and Matthew almost come to blows over calls the chair umpires are just plain blowing. And we are both applying for the new job of Official Ball Czar.

  • Maddy Morphosized
    Jan 27 2025

    The Ball Boys are recapping the Australian Open, shoving everything we can into our extra wide segment of This Week At The Tennis. We celebrate Madison Keys who single handedly saved the tournament and provided a bright spot in a very questionable 2025, plus we talk about how she metamorphosized and how important it is for the players (and the rest of us) to be adaptable. All that plus Matthew wants to sign us all up for BallCoin and Paul is looking for love in the Ballchelor. And stick around at the end to play our new game from down under, Slip Slop Slap to see how players can metamorphosize their games in 2025.

    It’s an extra long episode so enjoy it all at once uncut or if you prefer cut there's 3 segments for your pleasure. Mwuah.
