  • Cherry

    The guests are great but the lack of professionalism from the hosts and constant interrupting of their guests make it extremely hard to listen to this podcast. They begin to speak as if they are the ones being interviewed. The interview with Danni-Elle is a perfect example. So much opportunity with this interview but the constant interruptions and chiming in with their opinions made it boring and painful. This is me giving this podcast another chance and still NEED BETTER INTERVIEW ETIQUETTE!

  • Great show!

    Love the guests, love the pickleball insider perspective, but… I would love a more intentional effort from the hosts to not talk over their guests. Otherwise great content.

    Great work!

  • Tyra’s ep is amazing

    My first time listening to the show; your interview with Tyra was incredible. Very well done. I am now a fan of the podcast and a huge fan of HTB.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lacy Schneemann: She Quit Rocket Science for Pro Pickleball. Was It Worth It? | S5 E3
Q: Was it the right decision?
Schneemann says leaving Boeing to play pickleball full-time was absolutely the right decision. A strong MLP weekend at Mesa and its prize money convinced her the career change was financially possible.
Lacy Schneemann: She Quit Rocket Science for Pro Pickleball. Was It Worth It? | S5 E3
Q: During that match, what's going through your mind, I guess?
Schneemann says the 11-0, 11-0 loss was difficult, but Anna Leigh Waters and Anna Bright started aggressively and neutralized her team's offense. She noted that the playing conditions were unusual, but gave no excuses and was proud of returning to win bronze the next day.
Federico Staksrud: The $400K Fives Trade, Reuniting With Hayden, and Chasing Ben & Gabe | S5 E2
Q: Why did you go back to playing with Hayden?
Staksrud says their 2025 partnership suffered from miscommunication about which side Hayden wanted to play. After both partnerships changed, they reunited in 2026 because they believed they could challenge Ben Johns and Gabe Tardio.
Federico Staksrud: The $400K Fives Trade, Reuniting With Hayden, and Chasing Ben & Gabe | S5 E2
Q: What was that process like?
Staksrud says he told Orlando Squeeze management he wanted a chance to compete for a championship, discussed possible destinations, and was traded to the New Jersey 5s on the final day of the trade period. He was excited but felt pressure to justify the move and its price.
Jay Devilliers: Figuring Out Ben Johns, Bringing Pickle to France, and The Body Bag Debate | S4 E10
Q: I don't know a ton about you though. Tell us about Jay growing up.
Jay shares growing up as the youngest of six in France, with a family background in sports, especially his mother's professional handball career, and explains how he pivoted from tennis in his teens, ultimately landing in college tennis in Spain and the U.S. before discovering pickleball.
