JW definitely thinks the Jaden Smith version of The Karate Kid is better than the original and that’s all we need to know about his theoretical fighting ability.
First comment, lets go! It seems like a weird system that an opponent is the one that has to challenge a players paddle? NGL, you guys spent 10 minutes theorizing about MLP teams in a fist fight and it was amazing.
I don’t believe any company is purposely making paddles that delaminate. It’s a manufacturing problem since this is an ever evolving process for new paddle technology.
Great episode! Your podcasts are getting even better. I was there at the Masters match 😢. Didn’t you and Dylan have a long run of medalling together? BJ and ALW should be getting nervous about you and James. Let’s go Hustlers!
JDubs and DJ? I take DJ 10 of 10.. He has trained some MMA and is a huge MMA fan. AJ would be a fighter too.. Remember he was a hockey player.. Throwing down is part of the game.. Hockey players are tough.. 😊 And AB is right.. Lea would be a a pitbull in a fight.. 😊
In reference to paddles, the manufacturers are responsible to make a paddle that meets and holds specifications. Part of the manufacturing process is testing under use conditions the product you were making. Proper testing would have detected the delamination, but I am sure there is a race to come out with better paddles. That is not an excuse for failing to test correctly, but I can see it happening. It doesn’t matter whether the delamination is accidental. It is still a failure and needs to be corrected. If players are purposely banging on their paddle to cause it to delaminate that is another story and it’s not the fault of the manufacturer. It doesn’t seem like that is what is happening, but it does seem as you too have said that the players and the manufacturers know it’s happening. To me if the PPA would test on site randomly, and also anyone who wins there would be incentive to be sure you use the paddle. That was the laminated, and if it did become the laminated, you would pull it out of rotation. I have read that it’s pretty easy to see a paddle is delaminated both by sound and feel. Just my thoughts.
Really enjoyed this podcast. Anna I would screenshot Dylan your itinerary of what to talk about beforehand so that maybe the long pauses would be less. Overall, I like the topics and what you cover. A lot of pauses and unknowing questions of each other is sometime fun if you were Iggy with whatever comes to mind but Dylan isn’t like that. He thinks before he speaks so plan better questions so there’s not a lot of pause and also “um” it’s so bad. Anna you talk a lot of your grandfather. Ask him how he feels about people saying “um”
Wow. Maybe get up to speed before acting like these companies are acting “holier than thou.” These companies have been working on this delamination problem for months now. They already have paddles being sent out to players with more glue, and in Legacy’s case changing factories, to fix this problem. These changes don’t just come about in a week.
Ok, sorry, pb studio, this is now officially the best podcast!
lets goooo

Thank you!
Travis, I owe you a beer
I love Dylan's confidence that he could beat up Ben AND Tyler. That's the kind of confidence he needs to get his first girlfriend. Hahaha.
JW definitely thinks the Jaden Smith version of The Karate Kid is better than the original and that’s all we need to know about his theoretical fighting ability.
Love your conversations and peak into your friendship! Your dynamic is so fun and funny! 😂
Dylan - I think Anna weighs more than...
Anna - awkward pause
Dylan - still single 😅

This was the best pickleball related podcast content I have ever heard. Hysterical
Volume is much better this one. Content has been good all Along
yeah, had to work out some of the kinks. thanks for being patient with us!
I don’t believe any company is purposely making paddles that delaminate. It’s a manufacturing problem since this is an ever evolving process for new paddle technology.
I am so excited to watch Anna and James become a force this year. Every game against Ben and AL is data gathering for big future wins.
Great episode! Your podcasts are getting even better. I was there at the Masters match 😢. Didn’t you and Dylan have a long run of medalling together? BJ and ALW should be getting nervous about you and James. Let’s go Hustlers!
Super entertaining, AJ gets out of his pool my man a hockey player
I think AJ Kohler could beat DJ. The boy looks like a genuine cowboy.
That was Fun Anna! Thanks for your insights.
More paddle delaminating information needs to get out about Safety.
Best pod in pickle right now
JDubs and DJ? I take DJ 10 of 10.. He has trained some MMA and is a huge MMA fan. AJ would be a fighter too.. Remember he was a hockey player.. Throwing down is part of the game.. Hockey players are tough.. 😊 And AB is right.. Lea would be a a pitbull in a fight.. 😊
This might be the best pickleball podcast episode I’ve ever heard. Sure I’m biased, but like, this is it.
Haha, the MLP Hunger Games chat... 😅
"She's gonna pull out ALL your hair" slayeeeedd me.
I want to see a fight between AJ and Zane.
I think Dylan can take them all cuz the quiet and mellow guys are the dangerous when they explode. Anna is a very feisty gal so don't mess with her.
Where's AJ Koeller ? He was a hockey player and I bet he can knock out some teeth.
Great pod! You may have pissed off some paddle manufacturers lol😂
Disappointed in the fight picks, it seems like you guys took all the favorites. It's March madness time and a 12 seed always upsets a five
Geez, new generation young men didn't grow up fighting in school 😂. I had to fight at least a couple times a year.
Are you talking fisticuffs or a verbal fight?
AB Can you speak about the schedule of PPA to playing with ALW and the talk of whether you or Parenteau will be a permanent partner?
I think in the last episode AB said ALW hadn't made a decision and might just alternate the whole season.
Hey Dylan, has Zane succeeded in picking a rivalry tiff with you? I haven’t seen it yet. I need more
Dylan DTF Frazier?!! 😂 if that means what I think it means then that is by far the best nickname in pickle
He just took over Big papa Jimmy
Good pod, you can tell Dylan is funny when he lets loose
i had a girlfriend, once, that everyone called DTF also. She loved fat dinks apparently.

Love the MLP insights! Good luck this weekend,
@Anna Bright if your sponsorship contract allows, please wear your pickle peacock merch for at least one of these episodes and talk about it!

I’m 39 which I’d like to think is still relevant 😊
Ben is the Kelly Slater of pickleball 😂😂
Forget the brand alliances. Anna and James should do a podcast together as well and Dylan can be a third mic/back up.
Disagree
The hypothetical pickle brawl was painful to listen to. Sorry but you guys are better than this.
Wow. Maybe get up to speed before acting like these companies are acting “holier than thou.” These companies have been working on this delamination problem for months now.

another great episode, thanks
Ben played chess not checkers against James 😂
Ben living rent free in BPJ's head...
You forgot koller!
Ben John’s big mistake was mentioning brand names. Everyone knows the problem paddles no need to call them out like that.
What is an illegal paddle??
You guys are awkward 🥶
and by awkward you mean awesome
Love you both. But don’t love you together here or on the court.
