This week we get on the phone with Jack Sock to talk about his transition into pickleball and whether he's really having the best time while out their playing. He also has some words of advice for Travis on his game.

We recap PPA Indoor Minnesota and talk about what it'll take for Travis to get on the podium. Plus there's a rumor that a certain paddle company won't let unsigned pros play with their paddle.

Major League Pickleball is back! Travis and Graham share their reactions to the merge and share some rumors of players who never signed.
