We can call it pickleball. Old people will love it.

They are building a new pickleball outdoor complex at the main park in Blowing Rock and I am super interested in getting into it, however I hear its terrible for your knees... I'm not all about to tear ACL's in my leisure

my senior parents both got into pickleball, and my dad went in Deep. ****ed around and won the NC state championship playing down an age bracket.

I got introduced to it about a year and a half ago and have had way more fun with it than I would've expected. I play at least a couple times a week now

That's awesome. I'm ridiculously happy for him. Great watch as well.

yeah doing obscure stories on NBA players really suits Lamar

he told me he has also done a story on our NNaji as well, but he's out of the country as well. it was a piece about where he came from and how he went in the European Youth Basketball League.

It's at Oak Pavilion, which is a Live Nation venue built a couple years ago. Way smaller than I was expecting, apparently only 7.5K capacity. Last night was my first show there.

Panic, DMB, and Phish all played multiple nights there and skipped Charlotte this year. Not sure why this venue is drawing like that and Charlotte isn't, but pretty annoying.

hard part is catching them

to make them go catatonic, take their head and tuck it under their wing. it makes them think they're asleep.

from there, put it's head on the ground, step on it, and pull.

Chicken heads pop off super easily
