PicklePod

The LOUDEST Crowd in MLP History + $250K Singles Tourney Announced


Listen Later

The PicklePod is back with one of our most jam-packed episodes ever.


šŸ† MLP Dallas shattered attendance records and delivered wall-to-wall chaos. The LA Mad Drops made their controversial debut… and immediately got swept. The Shock are rolling, Dreambreakers were electric, and Kate Fahey might be the most polarizing player in pro pickleball right now.


šŸ’° Then, we talk to Lydia Hirt, VP of Marketing at Lifetime, about the $250,000 Lifetime Open — the first-ever singles-only pro pickleball tournament. Sideout scoring. Best of 5. Open to every top player in the world. ESPN2 coverage. This could be the future of singles pickleball.


šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ And finally, Aaron Trost joins the pod after spending two weeks in Ukraine, bringing pickleball to wounded soldiers and growing the game in war-torn communities. This is one of the most powerful stories we've ever told on the pod.


Cycling Frog is giving away their best-selling THC seltzers for free. You just pay two bucks for shipping. That’s it. Get yours here:
