Consider this our little hello, we're here episode.

We're two friends who spend a lot of time talking about pickleball, the people who play it, and all the random conversations that seem to happen around the court. Eventually, we thought... maybe we should just record them.

In this very first (and very casual) episode, we're introducing ourselves, talking about why we decided to start Courtside Confessional, what we're hoping to explore, and what you can expect from the podcast.

We're interested in everything around pickleball just as much as the game itself — the friendships, dating, social dynamics, culture, drama, fashion, lifestyle, ridiculous stories, hot takes, and whatever else we inevitably end up talking about.

And yes, you can quite literally hear pickleball happening in the background while we record this. Consider it your first official courtside experience. 😂

We don't really know exactly where this podcast is going yet, and honestly, that's part of the fun. We're just excited to see what conversations come out of it.

Thanks for being here from the beginning.

Now, let's get into it. 🥒
