Speaker 3 (00:04):
Are you on a speakerphone or something? Can you get
so we have a better connection with you? Are you
off speakerphone?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm off speakerphone.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Are you on an earpiece or anything? I just want
to make sure you're crystal clear.

Me and Kyle's eleven year old daughter Addie is here too.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Awesome, I'm glad to be on.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So I met this Logan kid about a week week
and a half ago. I heard about him longer than that,
and I was so impressed with what he's got going on.
He's eighteen years old. And can you explain Logan what
you got going on?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
So this fall, and actually specifically on October twenty fifth,
it is our opening day for the first professional whippleball
league really of all time. And we started it back
during the pandemic in twenty twenty in our backyard, and
you know, I've grown it since then to a league
that now features ten professional teams this fall through spring
(01:17):
will have four tournaments across the country and like I said,
ten professional teams with legitimate team owners that range from
some big time celebrities all which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Isn't that just hearing that?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
How do you go from like just playing wiffleball in
your backyard and being like, okay, now we have to
decide who the pros are and how do you, like,
how do you become a pro wiffleballer?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, we really got versed in that field over the
past five years. So we launched a tournament at Scottsdale
Stadium in twenty twenty and that was a huge hit.
And then from there that really attracted the best talent
in the world. We started going to tournaments across the
country meeting people and from there we have i'd say
(02:02):
probably the fifty best players and the.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Really so like when you watch it, so it's it
goes from the backyard. So now when you watch the pros,
it's like when you watch a pro and to anything else.
They're way better at whiffle ball than anybody else.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Absolutely, and you guys will throw up two one hundred
miles an hour, which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
A while.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, well that's nuts.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Okay, So I want to I want because I know,
you know, rich you used to live in Dallas, and
I remember when I was talking to the phone the
other day, you were telling me about the tournament and
where it was. Can you tell him where that was?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So last year we actually had a little tournament circuit
in Scottsdale when it ended at eighteen T Stadium in Dallas.
That was our final four in the World Series.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
See, it's like one hundred thousand.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Okay, So but wiffleball, I'm thinking, I know what it was.
Wiffleball is just like baseball, but like with a whiffleball,
right with the ball with the holes.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
In exactly how many players on the field.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
We have three to five players per team.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, so it's not like it's like the less it's less. Yeah,
it's like, so would you say wiffle ball is to
baseball like pickleball is to tennis? Is it kind of
like that?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It's the exact it's the exact comparison. And really, with
the momentum pickleball is getting I think withotball is going
to replicate that as well.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Hey, and the tournament you're having here on the twenty seventh,
you said of November is a November twenty fifth.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
October, it's October twenty fifth.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, the one you're having here. Can now you're gonna
have pros there.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
But can people like this, someone's loosening right now, Can
they put together their own football team and go play?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Absolutely so if you're looking to play, you'll be prompted
to register in either the competitive or recreational division. The
competitive division is going to be the one with the
ten professional teams, and we have some you know, brave
teams that want to go compete against them and challenge them.
But also most people go in that recreational division and
(04:00):
they'll compete, and that's still very competitive in its own right.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
There is there a website to sign up, guaranteed.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
The sign up is at bow whiffleball dot com. Say
it again, b LW whiffotball dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
D or B like boy B as.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
In boy B b LW like these are the games
like nine innings like baseball? Or are they shorter?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The games are just three innings? Which is really nice?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh? Okay, so quickly, so when you started this big league,
big league, look.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
The first thing when you go to the website, that's
Kevin Costner attending b LW's Field of Dreams movie night.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh explain that, please, logan, Well, I think you guys
got a little sneak preview of what's coming out tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But it's on the website.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Bro, it's all ready to go. I'm happy to announce that.
But yeah, we uh, we're welcome in him to host
a movie night at Scottsdale Stadium, including our championship game.
It's going to start at six thirty, free admission.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Kevin cost is going to hang out and watch Field
of Dreams.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, as well as our championship. He's uh, yeah, he's
involved in our league, which is okay.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
So you're eighteen, you're playing whiffleball with your friends, you
build a pro league somehow, and you get Kevin cost involved.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
How does that happen?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
A lot of word to mouth, I'll say, a lot
of connections, a lot of people just talking about it,
seeing the success of pickleball, trying to replicate that in
some way, And I think.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I could do it because that's one of those things
that even more than pickleball. Not to offend the pickleball people,
everybody's playing a little backyard wiffleball. Everybody has, you know,
it's like everybody can. Yeah, it's the best.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Logan. Have you met Kevin Costner. I have.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I've actually pitched to him, which was really cool.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Wow, especially because he's, you know, a baseball actor too,
like he's been in.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
A handful dreams, field of dreams. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
But if you build it, they will come, Logan.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
This is cool.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
We need to be on the recreational team.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Make oer own team, put the John J. Rich team together.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I was telling my son Jake about this, and Jake's
got a team. He's putting together a team to go
play to come on.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Ye I wonder what one hundred and one hundred mile
an hour will walk up your way? That probably don't.
I don't know how you even know when the swings. Yeah,
cyants Logan.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Also Kyle's daughters here, and I think there's a team
you said, uh that somebody purchased and they're pretty famous,
and I think Kyle's daughter knows who they are. Do
you know who I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Logan? Who are some of the neat the team owners?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I can share the perfect part of it, which is awesome,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Dude, perfect, gut, you heard it? Perfect?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Do you like them? Is that pretty cool that they're
gonna going to be there, Logan, dude, perfect.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I can't confirm that, but they there's a good chance
they will be.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So can you talk about other famous people that own teams?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Not yet, unfortunately, but that should be in the next
couple of days. So stay tuned. But like I said,
a lot of fun stuff coming. Just stay tuned on
the website and on our social media.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The reason this happened is because they reached out to
us about having puppies there, and that's what I was, like, what,
you're eighteen?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You have a with wall what Kevin Costner?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All right, so let's go so.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, the march is so cute.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
The Arizona Souarros baseball I want it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
This is so cute.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
We love what you're doing. Logan.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, I think you shouldn't stop here. I think you
should take Red Rover pro. You know that could be cool.
Oh look, so these are the names of the team kickball.
Kickball should go pro thanks to Logan.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Let's go the Dallas Pandas, the Chicago Bats, the Boss
and Harbor Hawks, the Arizona Saguaros.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So who's on the who?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
And I.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Can't say Saguaro. I've always no, I've always said it
like that, this is it. I've seen it spelled with
the G and I've seen it spelled with its spelled
without a G. Two. Yeah, but anyway, does the owner
of the Arizona Suaros? Is that a famous person?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's actually our league?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So you're playing the league teams? Are you pro? I?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I am playing. I'm on the Pandas, which is awesome.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So you're from Arizona and you started this league, but
you're playing on the Dallas Pandas.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I'm actually I'm out here in Dallas right now, So
I'm fine with it. I love the Pandas. I played
with them last year. Now obviously it's an official league team,
so I think it's an awesome brand.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
So you're good. So just because you start of this
makes you, I mean, you're a good wiffleball player.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I would actually say for this league, I probably put
myself probably the middle of the pack.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Are there any baseball players? Well, I think if you're
a baseball player, like, what is there prize money involved
in this?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So the winning team will receive a decent amount of
prize money yet to be announced or determined, and that'll
be for the World Series champions. And then, yeah, a
lot of these guys have played baseball in the past
and just make that transition over because.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I gotta say, pitching to Kevin Cosser be fun, but
pitching to a professional baseball player, yeah, I think that
that ball could really hurt.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Right right, right, And.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You're not using gloves or anything because it's just wiffleball, right,
You're not using other equipment.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, some guys who really care, well, we'll put
bt gloves on. But for the most part.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Last year we actually had the Diamondbacks out to hit
against at one of our tournaments.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Fun, that's really awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But when you're in the outfield, you don't use gloves.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No, you cannot, Okay.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
So is this sort of like, are you guys is
taking it real seriously when you're out there or is
it kind of like a Savannah bananas, like you guys
are doing tiktoks in the middle of the game, having
fun with it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What's the vibe?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, it is if you look at the competitive division,
especially come playoff time. It's it's ultra serious. It's almost
too serious. But yeah, these guys are really really into
it and it's really cool to see.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Do you know when if when you have the Nationals.
I think it'd be fun if John Gy and I
am c the TV broadcast of the woofle Ball Championship.
I'll do on field or I'm just happy to be here.
We want to combine our media powers when you do
the World Series here, that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Would be No, that would be awesome. You guys are
the perfect to do it, so that'd be awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, because we don't really know anything about it, so
how could we screw it up that bad? That's how
you can screw it up?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Like the next up to beat is not Kevin Cosser.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Shall we take away not thinking you guys are very funny?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This is serious, all right, Logan?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Should we talk to you again before uh, when it
gets closer to the tournament and.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
All that stuff, Yeah, that'll work for sure. We're just
under three weeks out, so congratulation, and I think it's
already the biggest tournament we've ever had.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So you got it in Chicago, Scottsdale, Los Angeles, and
Dallas Wild you know, you got to you got to
hit the Midwest.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I grew up in the Midwest. In fact, one of
my favorite lunch places in Saint Louis was called the
Wiffle Dome where it's like Patty Mills in whiffle ball
inside for lunch and it was packed all the time.
That's a big whiffle ball part of the world. Iowa,
Missouri all those places.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That's step two, because they've already done that with like
pickleball restaurants.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That's true. Yeah, Wiggledome was way early.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Let me ask you guys this.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I played wolfleball within the last five years. Have you
guys played wootball last time?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I literally play with my son all the time, Okay,
I played.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
With like with the boy Scouts and the Eagle Scouts
with my son when we were camping all time. And
there was something about playing wolfball. Logan is that when
I would hit the ball and I connected, I would
think this sucker was gonna fly, Like I was like,
this is out of the ballpark, and then it just
makes it to second base.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Hangs in the air little.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
How what is a home run in professional wolfle ball?
And is there that does that happen.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
There is, and it happens quite a bit. The fences
are about one hundred feet back. That's pretty far, so
I yet it is, but when you factor in the
speed being thrown, it really kind of you know, it
adjusts for that. So yeah, it's about one hundred feet back,
and it happens, you know, quite frequently.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is it overhand? Pitch underhand?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Pitch overhand? For sure? Now we're we're the real deal.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Man, kind of want to say, I bet just gets
all kind of footage like from ESPN. If they haven't
jumped on it yet, they probably will.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I mean, they showed Corner Hall on ESPN, they might
as well show this.
Speaker 3 (13:06):

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I was telling my son Jake about this, and Jake's
got a team. He's putting together a team to go
play to come on.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Ye I wonder what one hundred and one hundred mile
an hour will walk up your way? That probably don't.
I don't know how you even know when the swings. Yeah,
cyants Logan.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Also Kyle's daughters here, and I think there's a team
you said, uh that somebody purchased and they're pretty famous,
and I think Kyle's daughter knows who they are. Do
you know who I'm talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Logan? Who are some of the neat the team owners?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I can share the perfect part of it, which is awesome,
that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Dude, perfect, gut, you heard it? Perfect?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Do you like them? Is that pretty cool that they're
gonna going to be there, Logan, dude, perfect.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I can't confirm that, but they there's a good chance
they will be.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So can you talk about other famous people that own teams?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Not yet, unfortunately, but that should be in the next
couple of days. So stay tuned. But like I said,
a lot of fun stuff coming. Just stay tuned on
the website and on our social media.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The reason this happened is because they reached out to
us about having puppies there, and that's what I was, like, what,
you're eighteen?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You have a with wall what Kevin Costner?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
All right, so let's go so.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Well, the march is so cute.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
The Arizona Souarros baseball I want it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
This is so cute.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
We love what you're doing. Logan.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, I think you shouldn't stop here. I think you
should take Red Rover pro. You know that could be cool.
Oh look, so these are the names of the team kickball.
Kickball should go pro thanks to Logan.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Let's go the Dallas Pandas, the Chicago Bats, the Boss
and Harbor Hawks, the Arizona Saguaros.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So who's on the who?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
And I.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Can't say Saguaro. I've always no, I've always said it
like that, this is it. I've seen it spelled with
the G and I've seen it spelled with its spelled
without a G. Two. Yeah, but anyway, does the owner
of the Arizona Suaros? Is that a famous person?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's actually our league?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So you're playing the league teams? Are you pro? I?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I am playing. I'm on the Pandas, which is awesome.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
So you're from Arizona and you started this league, but
you're playing on the Dallas Pandas.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I'm actually I'm out here in Dallas right now, So
I'm fine with it. I love the Pandas. I played
with them last year. Now obviously it's an official league team,
so I think it's an awesome brand.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
So you're good. So just because you start of this
makes you, I mean, you're a good wiffleball player.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I would actually say for this league, I probably put
myself probably the middle of the pack.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Are there any baseball players? Well, I think if you're
a baseball player, like, what is there prize money involved
in this?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So the winning team will receive a decent amount of
prize money yet to be announced or determined, and that'll
be for the World Series champions. And then, yeah, a
lot of these guys have played baseball in the past
and just make that transition over because.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I gotta say, pitching to Kevin Cosser be fun, but
pitching to a professional baseball player, yeah, I think that
that ball could really hurt.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Right right, right, And.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You're not using gloves or anything because it's just wiffleball, right,
You're not using other equipment.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, some guys who really care, well, we'll put
bt gloves on. But for the most part.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Last year we actually had the Diamondbacks out to hit
against at one of our tournaments.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Fun, that's really awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But when you're in the outfield, you don't use gloves.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No, you cannot, Okay.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
So is this sort of like, are you guys is
taking it real seriously when you're out there or is
it kind of like a Savannah bananas, like you guys
are doing tiktoks in the middle of the game, having
fun with it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What's the vibe?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, it is if you look at the competitive division,
especially come playoff time. It's it's ultra serious. It's almost
too serious. But yeah, these guys are really really into
it and it's really cool to see.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Do you know when if when you have the Nationals.
I think it'd be fun if John Gy and I
am c the TV broadcast of the woofle Ball Championship.
I'll do on field or I'm just happy to be here.
We want to combine our media powers when you do
the World Series here, that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Would be No, that would be awesome. You guys are
the perfect to do it, so that'd be awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, because we don't really know anything about it, so
how could we screw it up that bad? That's how
you can screw it up?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Like the next up to beat is not Kevin Cosser.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Shall we take away not thinking you guys are very funny?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This is serious, all right, Logan?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Should we talk to you again before uh, when it
gets closer to the tournament and.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
All that stuff, Yeah, that'll work for sure. We're just
under three weeks out, so congratulation, and I think it's
already the biggest tournament we've ever had.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So you got it in Chicago, Scottsdale, Los Angeles, and
Dallas Wild you know, you got to you got to
hit the Midwest.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I grew up in the Midwest. In fact, one of
my favorite lunch places in Saint Louis was called the
Wiffle Dome where it's like Patty Mills in whiffle ball
inside for lunch and it was packed all the time.
That's a big whiffle ball part of the world. Iowa,
Missouri all those places.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
That's step two, because they've already done that with like
pickleball restaurants.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
That's true. Yeah, Wiggledome was way early.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Let me ask you guys this.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I played wolfleball within the last five years. Have you
guys played wootball last time?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I literally play with my son all the time, Okay,
I played.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
With like with the boy Scouts and the Eagle Scouts
with my son when we were camping all time. And
there was something about playing wolfball. Logan is that when
I would hit the ball and I connected, I would
think this sucker was gonna fly, Like I was like,
this is out of the ballpark, and then it just
makes it to second base.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Hangs in the air little.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
How what is a home run in professional wolfle ball?
And is there that does that happen.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
There is, and it happens quite a bit. The fences
are about one hundred feet back. That's pretty far, so
I yet it is, but when you factor in the
speed being thrown, it really kind of you know, it
adjusts for that. So yeah, it's about one hundred feet back,
and it happens, you know, quite frequently.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is it overhand? Pitch underhand?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Pitch overhand? For sure? Now we're we're the real deal.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Man, kind of want to say, I bet just gets
all kind of footage like from ESPN. If they haven't
jumped on it yet, they probably will.
Speaker 4 (13:02):

as well show this.
