5 years ago on episode 1 of the PicklePod, I said: "I think it's all downhill from here. You guys might not make it past the pilot."

200 episodes later, this week's is my last. Terrible at goodbyes but thank you for listening! 👊

JW and Tama were down 0-2 in the men's doubles final at Worlds. 2% chance of winning. They won in 5.
Ben Johns has now lost 5 straight men's doubles. Anna Bright might be done with Hayden. And Ben was hitting lefty forehands in singles.
End of an era? 👇

Saw a video where someone added 10 MPH to their friend's serve in one session.

Had to try it in pickleball.

Grabbed Gabe. Broke down arm swing, footwork, weight transfer. Did it work?

Ben Johns has lost 4 men's doubles tournaments in a row.

I went through the Hong Kong final point by point, and the numbers don't lie. It's not that he's playing bad. He's playing safe. And right now, safe isn't winning.

We also got Christian Alshon mysteriously withdrawing with zero explanation. He was warming up at the venue. Then gone.

Oh, and we need to talk about Harry Brown's mustache. Serious journalism only on this channel.

I breakdown all this plus more in today’s recap 👇
