Sweet Lobs – Season 2, Episode 11
In this episode, Kevin and Skye dive headfirst into their full review of PickleCon — one of the biggest pickleball gatherings of the year (?). From the moment they walked through the doors, they were met with the buzz of paddles popping, vendors hustling, and the smell of bbq in the air.
They share what impressed them most, including some innovative new products. But it’s not all dinks and drop shots — Kevin and Skye also give their honest takes on what could have been better, from layout flow to amenities. If you’ve ever thought about attending PickleCon, this episode will give you the inside scoop on whether it’s worth the trip.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Sweet Lobs without a few side tangents, laughs, and the occasional debate..

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
