  1. 64 | Love is Blind Stay or Run & Advice Updates

    Show notes

    This week on The Player’s Box, we uncover some surprising opinions like who thinks a mattress on the floor with absolutely no other furniture is a green flag, and who is perfectly fine with their significant other going days without texting back. At least we all agree on social media etiquette, including exactly how many people is too many to follow before it becomes a red flag. And, of course, we’re all doing gorgina.

  2. 63 | Multitasking, Meltdowns & What’s the Password

    Show notes

    This week on The Player’s Box we learn that competition doesn’t stop at the court because fights ensue over a simple game of Password. Plus, we find out who can multitask, who can’t remember texts they sent an hour ago and who gets so distracted they end up just standing at the fridge.

  3. 62 | Home Screens, Guess the Celeb & Rants

    Show notes

    This week on The Player’s Box, the Guess my Number game went so well (poorly) that we attempted to play again by assigning each person a celebrity and it went about as well as you would expect (chaotically). Plus, we’re exposing everyone’s iPhone home screens: who has 6 pages of apps, whose is color categorized, who has an un-downloaded Seat Geek app front and center and whose screen saver came with the phone. Plus tennis headlines, a new rant and more.

    Show notes

  10. 55 | Live from New York: US Open, NYC Bucket List & Confessions

    Show notes

    The Player’s Box is live this week to kick off the US Open and half the pod almost didn’t make it since Jenny’s plane almost ran out of fuel (at least it wasn’t a car) and Des sat at the wrong gate for the wrong delayed flight. Jess has a live Unforced Error while Madi’s match was used as someone’s personal remote office.

    Plus, tennis headlines and best US Open and NYC memories.
