Gina and Neil are back, and they’re diving straight into the side of pickleball nobody likes to admit exists: the drama.

From pro-level chaos to everyday rec-court fallouts, the sport is seeing friendships end, relationships blow up, and reputations shift fast. In this episode, they walk through what they’ve witnessed, what they’ve experienced, and why character matters more than any ranking or match result.

The real question every player should ask: What do you want to be known for?

Gina and Neil also highlight the people who consistently show up with integrity, because not everything is messy, and some players genuinely set the standard.

It’s honest, direct, and very much Keeping It Real.
