We’re coming in hot with:


 🔹 A scramble turns tense over one very serious pickleball rule.
 🔹 Open play vibes collapse the moment someone says “ball thing.”
 🔹 Victorian insults might be the next weapon on pickleball courts.

Plus, Roger Belair from Pickleball in Prision & PICL joins us to talk about bringing pickleball inside maximum-security prisons. The game is creating unlikely friendships, lowering disciplinary issues, and proving that a paddle and plastic ball can change prison culture.

🎧 Listen now before someone labels the ball and ruins open play.
