The boys finally get comedian, former ATP player, and professional roast master Michael Kosta on the pod—and it’s everything you’d hope for. Kosta spills on his days grinding the Challenger circuit, the exact moment he knew pro tennis wasn’t for him, and how he pivoted to roasting players instead of playing them.
He dishes on the real differences between tennis and stand-up, why tennis players are the worst at taking jokes, and the time he absolutely bombed on stage. Plus, Kosta gives the inside scoop on his new book, Lucky Loser, where he breaks down the absurdity of life on tour, from wild travel mishaps to the worst hotel rooms he’s ever stayed in.
