Paddle Banter

Jack and Reza

Paddle Banter is a funny, sarcastic pickleball podcast where two guys who definitely think they’re right argue about the game they love. It’s part pickleball talk, part trash-talk therapy—covering bad line calls, inflated ratings, rec-league drama, gear opinions, and the unwritten rules everyone pretends not to break. Expect sharp takes, real experiences, and guests who may or may not survive the banter. The dinks are soft. The opinions are not.

    Episode 5: You Know What Drives Us Crazy? — Pickleball Pet Peeves

    We all have them — those little things on the pickleball court that drive us just a little crazy! In this episode of Paddle Banter, Jack and Reza have some fun sharing their biggest pickleball pet peeves, from players who scream after a shot to the person who barely rolls the ball back when it’s your turn to serve…and plenty more. But nobody’s innocent. Some of the things that annoy us are probably things we do ourselves that drive somebody else nuts. It’s a lighthearted look at the habits, quirks, and unwritten rules of pickleball that every regular player will recognize. Listen along, laugh with us, and see how many of our pet peeves are yours too.

    Episode 4: Our Fame is Rising (Unlike our DUPRs)

    Jack and Rez are starting to feel a little famous—and naturally, they’re handling it with absolutely no humility whatsoever. In this episode, the guys discuss their newfound “celebrity,” growing podcast recognition, and the unmistakable burden of being local pickleball icons. Then they dive into DUPR scoring, where the math is mysterious, the ratings are personal, and one bad game can trigger a full-blown identity crisis. It’s fame, frustration, questionable calculations, and plenty of Paddle Banter. Because their popularity may be rising—even if their DUPRs aren’t.
