Webby (Not Eddie)

@ChrisCaliSNS Dang, Big Pickle took you down sooner than I expected…. 😢🤣

WTF DID I DO NOW Uggggghhhh No more YouTube :(

@ChrisCaliSNS Am I the only one that actually wanted to see the whole episode with the drawings? 😂🤣

Enjoy!

Chris Cali joined us on the pod and we try to get to the bottom of why UPA decided to cut ties with @ChrisCaliSNS. This means no more #sorrynotsorry #pickleball recaps for @PPAtour and @MajorLeaguePB events. 😢 youtu.be/0GRjs7oVOL4?si…

One of, if not THE, OG pickleball podcasts is celebrating their 100th episode tomorrow Dinking Around with Eddie & Webby was one of the few places you could find pickleball content back when The Dink launched in late 2020 Their show fueled many of our early newsletter issues. Congrats on 100 @eddieandwebby 🫡

@matty_pickles You were DUPED??

@WebbyWebovich You were better then me before they arbitrarily gave me a boost this morning lol

Wow another awful day for my haters. They said I would never be a 3.846 with a 98+ reliability score yet here we are. (I did literally nothing but the DUPR gods decided to update their algorithm and randomly bless me with a new career high) #pickleball

This is a test to determine if you’re a true fan or not If you can answer every question - you win

@sorrynotsorrypb Great suggestions! One area I especially agree with is having home/away games for MLP. There is currently little to no local/loyal fan base in cities that have teams. Regardless, SOMETHING definitely needs to be done to help fix that.

Conclusion: I'm not saying that a good "aesthetic" would guarantee the success of pickleball, but I do think it's fair to say that it holds it back. Do you agree pickleball has an aesthetic problem? If so, I'd love to hear your solutions!

I spoke w/ someone this year about whether or not pro pickleball would take off His take? "No. Pickleball has no aesthetic." Its been a few months and I can't stop thinking about this... Here is why I think he is right, and what we can do to fix it without changing rules: 🧵

@MaggieMaeRem That is crazy! I feel like for every step forward made by PPA/MLP, stuff like this happens and is like taking two or three steps back... Do they want pickleball taken seriously or not? At this point, I am genuinely not sure.

Another thing: why is this the thumbnail used on Prime for MLP? This looks like something my son made in daycare art.

@readmynewslettr Nah, I've tried running numerous times and could never get into it. I got hooked on pickleball after my very first time playing it.

@WebbyWebovich Everyone hates running until they start running kinda like tennis -> pickle

Biggest takeaway from doing a run club: People absolutely despise run clubs Dirty looks galore

@ZaneNavratil @PPAtour I prefer pro #pickleball events in smaller venues. In my opinion, a majority of the tournaments should be at smaller, more intimate, venues. If only a select few are at huge venues each year, it will make the big ones feel more important and meaningful.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I love small town tournaments like Bristol, TN. The locals show up and love having the @PPAtour in their home town!

@realPatrickJr That's awesome! If the rumors are true...

Hearing a rumor that the “Breaking Pickleball” documentary may have just been picked up by Amazon Prime Video. Stay tuned…

@matty_pickles The highly anticipated resurrection of Vibe Pickleball??

Hearing some intriguing rumblings about some pickleball related news - stay tuned for updates. Developing situation. Should have an update around 6 or 7 pm.

@pickleballchic It's my favorite event of the year! I'm looking forward to finally meeting you in person. 😀

I literally cannot wait for BCO this week. I’ve heard so many good things about this tournament over the years. Pumped for the Night Owls to compete in Grand Rapids!

@robnunnery @mauldindin @PPAtour @USAPickleball @robnunnery have you seen the technology Eddie and @KyleSelinko are offering with @closecallreplay? It's great and available! Why aren't the pro tours implementing it immediately??

@mauldindin @PPAtour @USAPickleball if by line call technology you mean some basic cameras that are simply on the sidelines and baselines, agreed.

Allegedly, @PPAtour is charging paddle brands $100k per year and $5k per paddle cert/reg in 2025. @USAPickleball approved paddles will be sunset at the end of 2025 for UPA events. Thoughts?

@Pickleball A brutally honest look at the history of USA Pickleball (formerly USAPA) would probably make for a very interesting story. Especially leading up to the current state of affairs.

A producer of major documentaries is considering pickleball as his next subject… It got us thinking: What is the most interesting storyline, persona or topic in pickleball?

@Pickleball @SeniorPBReport I love documentaries, and I love pickleball. Give me more pickleball documentaries!

@SeniorPBReport There are more than just that one too!

Here is a preview for episode 69 of the Dinking Around With Eddie and Webby #pickleball #podcast. It features our favorite #pickleballmemes of the week (shout out to @sorrynotsorrypb and Friday Pickleball), and we were joined by @AndreaRemynse to chat about the Beer City Open.
