Michelle Thompson, Trey Ryder and Jake Brandon gear up for the final Signature event of the season. They review the singles and doubles brackets, predict potential winners, and Trey explains several important changes planned for the 2026 season. As always, the episode concludes with their “Hole‑y Hot Takes” segment. Heat. Heat. What's up everyone? Welcome to Around the ACL. Shell Thompson here with Trey Ryder and Jake Brandon. Thanks for holding it down for me last week. I did listen on the plane and uh you guys did great as always. Um, I was in New York City and my first time in the big city and being from Los Angeles, I thought that I would hate it because I hated living in Los Angeles for 20 years. Completely different. Absolutely loved it. I even told Nick, I think we should move there for like a year just for fun. He's like, we are never living there. I just thought it was so cool. It's so different from anything else. But my favorite thing about New York besides the good food and the shows and all that stuff is you get to just see everybody outside living, right? I live in a rural area. So the only people who are outside living are transients, homeless people.
