106: Laver Cup Memories, Facing Federer & Behind the Scenes | EP 106
The gang's all here and we're diving headfirst into all things Laver Cup.
Jack, John, Sam, and Stevie look back at the very first edition, from Jack and John’s doubles wins to some of the wildest on-court moments. They debate whether the event can keep its spark without the Big 3, and why Carlos Alcaraz already feels essential for Team Europe. The crew breaks down the format, payouts, and shares a classic Fabio Fognini story.
An episode of Nothing Major wouldn’t be complete without a little self-roasting, this time revisiting some of their worst predictions of the season...
Plus, get a peek behind the curtain at how the wonderfully chaotic Nothing Major group chat becomes the podcast you listen to, watch and (hopefully) enjoy.

103: 2025 US Open: Finals Recap | Something Major | EP 103
The US Open is over, and the guys are here to break it all down. Sam, Jack, John, and Steve dive into the men’s and women’s finals and what really decided them.
Carlos Alcaraz overpowered Jannik Sinner with a relentlessness performance that capped off a dominant campaign. Did Sinner ever really have a shot, or was it always Alcaraz’s title to lose? The guys don’t exactly see eye to eye!
In the women’s final, Aryna Sabalenka extended her wild tiebreak streak to 19 straight while taking out Amanda Anisimova. With her first Major of the season, she leaves New York looking every bit the rightful World No. 1.
Off the court, we’ve got Bracket Challenge chaos (guess who’s on the hook for the jingle?) and even some unsolicited advice for the secret service agents spotted at the Open. We wrap it up with big news about next week’s Red Bull Flugtag!

The US Open semis were electric, and we’re here to break it all down before the finals. John, Stevie, and Jack dive into the women’s battles, highlighting Anisimova’s redemption as she took down Osaka in an amazing match and now faces Sabalenka. How far can Amanda go if she wins?
On the men’s side, we discuss whether this could be Djokovic’s last shot, the Alcaraz-Sinner dominance, and our thoughts on the men’s final. Is Sinner a slight favorite with the No. 1 ranking and Slam race on the line?
Things got even spicier with our Dave’s Hot Chicken trivia challenge. Who can handle the Reaper without breaking a sweat? Between group chat meltdowns and ridiculous hot takes, this episode got out of hand fast.
We wrap things up with Steve calling a recall on our bracket challenge... let’s just say some egos are hurting as a the loser will need to come up with a Nothing Major jingle!
