Phys Ed: Ryan Nanni and his brother were awful tennis doubles partners

Ryan Nanni grew up in Tampa. Ryan Nanni has siblings. Ryan Nanni played high school tennis. All of the above combine for a SHOCKING and CONTROVERSIAL episode of Phys Ed.
Just kidding. It's lovely. We love Ryan so much. But yeah, it seems like Ryan and his brother were not particularly effective doubles partners:
Enjoy! And go check out Phantom Island.
As someone who has played competitive ultimate across the college, club, and pro circuits, I loved hearing it mentioned on this episode. Hoping you’ll one day have a guest to talk about it!

There were plenty of things my brother and I were good at as a team when we were kids. Nintendo games, for one—we beat Contra in co-op on one life, still to this day the most awesome moment I've ever had in a video game, with all our friends watching on a rainy summer afternoon.
But sports? If I went to throw him an out route, he'd break in on it and we'd be fighting over a pick-six. Baseball? He couldn't catch my breaking stuff any more than batters could hit it. And basketball? He was the shortest, stockiest kid in the neighborhood, so that didn't help much. Not for nothing did he end up playing on the offensive line and doing wrestling in high school. He _was_ strong as an ox and almost as good-looking.
I imagine we wouldn't have done any better on a tennis court.
