With the unreleased “Tour Wars” episode of the Pickle Pod lost forever, Zane comes on the podcast to give his unfiltered thoughts on the latest saga in pro pickleball’s “Tour Wars”. The trio discuss everything from Zane’s decision to sign with MLP and his feelings towards the PPA to which PPA players won’t be showing up for the next MLP event in Atlanta. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
