Tennis w/Michael Kosta

iHeartPodcasts and Paramount Podcasts
About this episode

Game, set, match! Michael Kosta, Daily Show correspondent and host of the podcasts ‘Choosing Sides: F1’ and ‘Tennis Anyone,’ gives us his take on the business sides of tennis and what it takes to even afford to fail at this sport. Kosta breaks down his life during and after the hard court that spreads across multiple genres, including selling shares of his potential earnings, tennis groupies, scams on the comedy club circuit, and his investment in water equality. How much do tennis players make? And how many people are in their pockets? Frances Tiafoe made a lot of noise at the US Open, but was the media fair to him? Bow Wow wants $1000 for you to meet him. @Rod4Short has choice words about this and a country club with an appalling 9/11-themed seafood menu. As the world watches King Charles III take on his new job, the team agrees on the American equivalent of a monarch. 

New Math: Hawaii ÷ @RoyWoodJr x @TPain + A Gentlemen’s Club = X
