    Petty Talk: White Elephant Chaos, Softball Catfishers, and Team Drama

    Welcome back to the Petty Talk Podcast. This week, we talk about our White Elephant gift exchange. It got very petty. We argue about who had the best gift and who had the worst one. We also call each other out for waiting until the last minute to shop. Then we talk about softball. We break down recent tournaments and what it’s like to run teams. We share what it’s really like being players and coaches at the same time. We talk about what makes a good teammate and why showing up and being responsible matters more than just being good at the game. We also get into team drama, on the field and off. Of course, we also talk about softball catfishers, Duval County talent debates, and how we juggle life, sports, and business. Nothing is planned and nothing is held back. If you like real stories, honest softball talk, and a lot of laughs, this episode is for you.  Let’s get petty.

    How Veteran Players and Sponsors Are Changing the Game

    Hey y’all! It’s Justin, and we’re back with another episode of the Petty Talk Podcast — where we talk sports, real life, and all the wild stuff in between. This time, me, Kelo, and Joe sit down with a special guest: Jacksonville’s own “Mr. Lawyer” — Josh! We talk about everything — being a D1 athlete, raising a family in sports, starting a law firm, and what it really takes to lead both on and off the field. Josh drops gems about building teams, being a good partner, and how softball (and life) taught him to grind and never give up. And of course, we got some laughs, a little drama, and that real talk you come here for. If you play sports, love sports, or just want some motivation to chase your dreams — this one’s for you.

    Behind the Scenes at the Turkey Tournament: Strikes, Steak Fails, and Petty Team Drama

    We live at the Turkey Tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, and we brought two special guests with us! Wait to see who they are! We’re talking all the wild stuff: big comebacks, yelling at teammates (you know how it goes), and how we somehow pulled off wins when things got real ugly. This was our first Turkey Tourney and let’s just say… we’ve got some thoughts. From weird ump calls to Chipotle breaks to jello shot madness—it was a whole movie. But we’re not just talking games. We get into the real stuff too—like how tough it is keeping a team together, switching squads, and what it takes to actually win out here. We even got stories about big losses, crazy plays, and trying to stay focused when the pressure’s on. Oh—and there may or may not have been a grill situation. So if you love the game, love the drama, or just wanna laugh at our pain—lock in. Petty Talk’s got you covered. Hit play and let’s get into it!

    No Excuses, Just Petty: Laughs, Losses, and Life Lessons at Turkey Day

    For this episode, me, Kelo, and Jay are recording live from the Turkey tournament. Yeah… we just took a tough L—but you already know we’re gonna keep it. We’re talking real talk about competition, taking ownership, and how this sports grind don’t stop—on or off the field. We break down what it’s like to lose and not make excuses (because y’all know we can’t stand that), and how the one-pitch format can flip the whole game in seconds. Injuries, wild plays, team drama—it’s all here. Plus, shout out to the catering squad (Chipotle + jello shots = elite combo 😅). We also get into some deeper stuff—like how team chemistry really matters, the ups and downs of rehab, and how we’re all trying to grow in sports, business, and life. If you’ve ever been part of a team, ran a squad, or just love hearing what really goes down behind the scenes… this episode’s for you.
