The Pro for the Pros - Scott Crandall joins the pod (via kidnapping) and educates us all on how to take your game strategy from zero to hero.

We give you the rundown on MLP Beer City including hot takes on the “worst line call in pickleball history”. And what does the UPA’s announcement about five new international events in 2025 really mean? Hint: more tour wars are coming! Don’t miss a very special guest, MLP Bay Area Breakers Team Owner Geoff Nguyen joins Jill & Kristin to discuss how he acquired an MLP team, his draft strategy, and the best player personalities he’s had on his team. All that and more on “Patio Road Pod” #47 and we are in Aspen Heaven!

APP CMO Tom Webb joins Kristin and Jill to discuss all things professional pickleball. The APP is now home to the most pros anywhere and does NOT consider themselves a “feeder” tour. The APP does, however, look at “other” tours as “exhibition tours” (shots fired!). Tom breaks down the shocking truth about viewership numbers in pickleball and poses an answer to the question we all want to know: is their enough air for the multiple competing entities in pickleball to all survive 3, 5, 10 years down the road? Kristin and Jill also recap the PPA San Clemente where Jill played with Jack Munro in mixed and her sister, Natalie “Nocki” Raney, in women’s. Jill walked away with two medals the following week at the APP Newport Beach with Eric Oncins and Megan Fudge. Don’t miss Pod 46—we’ve got Tom Webb in the mix! 

If you’re an active pod listener will you send us an email with your birthday or any special announcement so we can announce it on the pod? [email protected]

Find out what USAP CEO Mike Nealy has to say about their side of the JOOLA dispute as Jill and Kristin dive deep with Nealy on all things ratings, memberships, governing bodies, the international game, and of course, the bifurcation of the sport.

Get a peek behind the curtain from the MLP Waiver Wire mind games and madness. From being offered $50k to play, to $0, find out what went down for the five women who entered the “shuffle draft”. Plus, Jill’s sister writes pod listeners a love letter. And go behind the scenes with us at Gamma HQ in Pittsburgh. Don’t miss our newest segment, “Paddle Talk”, as we dissect all the recent drama around paddles (including fallen stickers!). All this and more on Pod 44….
