Fuming: February Mailbag

The Body Serve is back with what’s become a February tradition, an off-topic mailbag/pop culture episode. Fair warning to Sw*fties to proceed with caution through a few of the early segments (timestamps below). As we all switch modes from Australian Open to the global February tennis schedule, we offer our highlights and the broader themes raised by the Grammys with a massive dose of deja vu; we answer your questions, both tennis-related and not; we take on the idea of “tarnishing” a legacy by continuing to play past your prime; and chat randomly about the Naomi memoir, We Are the World, and The Traitors (spoilers abound).  1:00 Grammys: the Swift of it all 10:00 The broader problem: the Grammys’ failure to recognize Black women 21:20 Sone actual highlights from the Grammys 30:15 Memoirs 41:25 Will tennis ever change its schedule due to climate change? 43:50 Who will be the next first-time Slam winners? 46:05 Why do they keep protecting that guy? The sunk cost fallacy 48:45 Traitors: spoilers ahead for all versions 55:45 Best-of-5 for women + court speeds 61:00 Ideal tennis dinner guests, the evolution of tennis kits 65:05 Andy Murray and the idea of “tarnishing” one’s legacy
