10/09/23 • 83 min
1 Listener
What happens in Vegas definitely does not stay in Vegas when it comes to Pickleball. Tyler is back from a tough weekend at the PPA Championships in Las Vegas and sits down with Jimmy to recap the weekend KOTC style.
The boys discuss all of the events in depth and touch on some Jim Kloss drama that occurred over the weekend. Much the like color of his sweater, Jimmy was feeling especially fiery while recording this episode and doesn't pull any punches. This is definitely not an episode you will want to miss!
Let us know what topics we should cover in future episodes, thanks for following along!
