We break down Zane Navratil's wild on-court outburst, the drama between Zane and the Palm Beach bench, and whether there's a double standard when it comes to screaming and trash talk in professional pickleball.
We also recap the MLP playoff action, discuss Rachel Rohrabacher's lingering injury and post-match comments, and make our predictions for the next round.
Plus, James Ignatowich had some surprising words for Tyler on another podcast, Memes of Pickleball sparks controversy with its latest posts, and we respond to the argument that the pickleball business is in serious trouble.
