And I'm Kris Anna. And we are the Pickleballers Mixed. Hi, I'm Kris Anna and this is Mike and we are here with Macy Neely. Hello. Hi, how are you? So good. How are you guys doing? We're getting this cord in. Yeah, I'm so excited. I was watching out my window and I'm so stoked. You get a podcaster and an installer. I know, right? That's what we do. I love that. It's amazing. I've got to be careful what I promise Scott. Yeah, truly, truly. You want to do a podcast. Yeah, that sounds good. Let's go. Yeah. But there's a little work you have to do. I know you do a lot of work, Mike. You guys are devoted. I love it. Love it. So tell us a little bit about this pickleball court that you've got here. It's so funny because when we were doing our backyard, I was like, we're just not going to put a lot of money into it. Keep it basic. Keep it simple, right? This is not a forever home. Once we got started, I was like, you know what? I'm like, now I think I need a pickleball court. I'm like, let's do it. So like, I don't know. I just really started liking pickleball because I'm a tennis player. So I was like, I need a court in my yard because then I can teach my daughter tennis on it too. That's great. And then it's just like fun. Like we play with our neighbors. Like we'll just go to each other's houses and play and like let the kids play in the yard. I'm like so excited to host here now. It looks so good. Who has a pickleball court in their yard? Yeah, not many people. And if you do, it's not like legit court. No, this is legit. It looks so good. What do you think about it? I am like blown away. I'm like looking out my window. I'm like, dang. Down the stairs and here you are, right? I know. I couldn't wait to come see it. It looks so good and I feel like it matches the overall like aesthetic of the yard. So I'm so happy that we chose green. Oh, this is beautiful. I love the colors. Yeah, the colors go so well with the yard. So it's perfect. I think you're kind of go the tennis because that's kind of in the tennis town. It is. I was thinking. Tennis towns like growing up, it was like two different shades of green or they have like the blue and green. Yeah. Yeah. I was kind of like, that's what it was. Originally I was like, let's do an all black court because I love like the look of like black aesthetic and stuff. And so, but then they're like, that's way too hot. It's going to be really hot. You're going to feel like you're. Oh yeah. It is hot. Yeah, it is. So I'm so glad we did a green. It's kind of natural too. It's so good. That's all right. We got honey over there. Making sure. Protecting your. Yeah. She's enjoying the court as well. I think you're going to have to put up some fences though, you know, all the way around. Cause you're going to look out back and there's going to be people playing pickleball. No. No. Really though. You're going to have to have cameras like this, right? Yeah. No, I do have a camera there. Good. We're going in back there as well. I, you guys, I'm paranoid. So I like having cameras around. You should. It's, it's being careful. Yeah. Pickleballers are crazy. I don't know if they see a court. They're pulling over. Yeah. I'm going to have to put like some barbed wire. Exactly. Exactly. How'd you get in it? Sorry. How did it get into pickleball? Yeah. Um, I think just like the tennis background and then like my sister, we're, we're a tennis family. So both my sisters were doing tennis players. I was just kind of next in line and I'm the baby of the family. And so now that we're kind of washed up athletes, it's like pickleball is a new thing and everyone's playing and it's easy. And like, I, the thing that I like about it is that anyone can play, like me and my husband can go out there and like have a good rally and like have fun. Whereas I couldn't go out there and play tennis with him. He would just not be very good and it's not fun for me. So I like this cause it's fun for me and I'm pretty good naturally from tennis, but I'm not like amazing. So it's still like a challenge. So I like that. Oh yeah. And you have tennis players that come in and play pickleball. They do really well. Really well. One of my former teammates is actually pro. I think she's top 10 actually. So I'm like, okay, like I want to do that. So now I'm kind of like, should I switch careers? Are you going to compete? I mean, I don't know if I get good enough. I would, because I don't want to go out and compete and lose cause I'm competitive. So I'm like, I need to get better and then maybe we'll see. Like give me like six months of devotion, which I don't have time right now, but like when I'm out of the court, I'm like, give me six months, six to a year and maybe I'll be out there playing some pro. We'll see. We'll come back out and talk to you about it. Right? Yeah. So fun. I think we just need to get you a ball machine here. That way you really get going. I was on Amazon already. It's already on the way. It's going to be ordered. So I'm like, I need a whole basket of balls. Like I'm getting into tennis gear, but for pickleball, yeah, yeah. That's how you get good. I mean, you can play, but if you're not, if you're not worried, you know, practicing, you got to practice. You do. What was hard for me in the beginning is like, do I use the same grips as tennis? Like I was kind of confused. Like I was using my forehand grip on my pickleball forehand and I was like, this is kind of not it. So I switched to continental for the forehand and it helped a lot, but I still like, I was doing one handed backhands. I couldn't hit it as hard. So I just started doing my two handed backhand. I'm like, this is way better. Those are the best. Yeah. So I think I like have learned over time. Granted, I haven't played in like a year because I just had a baby. So yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much. Beautiful baby. We got to see that. Oh my gosh. The best. But I'm excited to get out there and play again, but you kind of learn at least as a tennis player, you kind of learn as you go, like what works for you with pickleball and like what doesn't. So I'm slowly or I was slowly figuring that out and I've got to get back into it. Yeah. You know, you're at your place. You grab a cup of coffee and you're at your court. Exactly. I walked down the stairs. I walked down three stairs and I got a court right there. But now I have no excuses, you guys. That's it. I can't. I have no excuses. So you will be top 10 soon, right? Yeah. And we're going to get some lights out here too. So there really will be no excuses. It's like, oh, it's dark outside. You're playing all night. Yeah. No excuses. Neighbors might be a little. My neighbors are going to hate me, but it's fine. I know. That's what it is. They'll love you where they'll be here, right? Or I'll just let them come play in the court. Give them some lessons. Once you get them going, you know what's going to happen, right? That's true. They're hooked. Yeah. They're the ones that are going to crawl over your fence, though, and start playing on your court. In the middle of the night, right? Yeah. And that's what's fun as a tennis player too. Like, when I play with people who, like, I have a neighbor who plays all the time, but like, I can still beat him because I had the tennis expertise, right? Nice. Because you just know how to read the court better. Oh, yeah. So it's like, I know how to read the court so well that it's like, oh, how did you know to go there? I'm like, because it's like a tennis thing. Yeah. Like, I know how to cover the court and like, with volleying. I love being at the net and pickleball. Like, it's really fun. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're going to, hopefully, they're putting the net up right now. We're going to hit some balls here soon. Yeah. Okay. Well, you guys, I'm rusty, so. Be nice to me. I'm a beginner. Okay. She's a 2.0. I'm going senior pro. Oh, I love it. So I'm, yeah, I'm heading there. Dang. I think that's a good competition. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. So I'm ready. I think that's a good competition right now. Yeah, you got it. We're ready. Yes, I'm, you know. I'll get lucky on one or two shots, maybe. Hey, I'm probably, you're probably making yourself seem like you're not as good, and then you're going to come out with her. Right? That's what you do. It's just like, it's really technique. I love it. It's just like the way she gets in our head. Yep. I'll be staring. I love it. So you've done some tournaments, though, in pickleball, haven't you? No. No, you haven't done it? Oh, I thought that said something. My sister did. Oh, that's. My sister played some, a couple pro tournaments. I like it. I don't know if she's played a ton since then, but she's like, once you're done having your baby, let's go play. Oh, yeah. So I think she does want someone to play with, but they're in California, but I'm like, okay, I'll travel to you if we need to. Oh, yeah. Like, we'll make some plays. But you're going to scare her, because she's going to be like, how'd you get so good? Well, let's see. She's actually really good. Like, she, so I'm, I feel like we would be a good combo, because she's really good in the baseline. She can hit it so hard. Like, she's a lefty, too, and she has an advantage. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. And then I'm pretty good at the net. Like, I like to move a lot at the net, and that's how I was in tennis with doubles. Like, I was a net player. So, like, I feel like we'd be a good combo, because she doesn't really like the net. But I do. You do doubles. Yeah. But the net is where you win. Exactly. I don't care how. You do. You've got to play the net. You have to. If you want to be good, that's where you play. Yeah, you have to. That's what I love when new tennis players come in, because they're like, I'm going to play the net. I'm going to play the net. I'm going to play the net. I'm going to play the net. I'm trying, though. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's intimidating at first, too. You're not, like, used to it. But I mean, I'm probably not used to it now. But, like, I don't know. Once I start playing, it's where I want to be. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When I start playing, it's where I want to be. It's, like, right in the front. I love it. It's more fun. That's the smart place to be. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. And the ball moves slow enough that, like, if I got passed, like, I feel like your partner could be able to run and get it. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I hope so. At least Jacob better go do it. Oh, yeah. Well, how fun. As a family, too. The kids. Oh, yeah. This is a great thing for them. Oh, yeah. High hand coordination. I mean, they're going to love it. Oh, for sure. Absolutely. I've gotten a lot smarter over the four years I've been playing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Four years ago. So I can't tell. I can't tell. Yeah. That's so fun. Well, fun. Well, that's it. We want to play. Let's do it. Or, you know, get you out on there. They're putting the net together right now. Heck, yeah. So, hey. Let's do it. Okay. It's going to be hot. We better say hi to David. Yeah. I'm sure you have paddles, right? I do. You have paddles, too, in the car. I have, like, two nicer ones. And then, obviously, I've got crappy ones that have been given to me and stuff. I bought and the ones that have, like, been sent over the years. Nice. Yeah. So we're ready. Yeah. As soon as they get this together, we're going to be playing some pickleball. Let's do it. I can't wait. I haven't played in, like, seriously. Okay. Well, I did say I played one time when I was nine months pregnant. And I was wearing Birkenstocks. And I was nine months pregnant. And I was at my neighbor's house. And they were, like, all playing, like, just play one round. I was, like, I am about to give birth. But I was so competitive. I was, like, fine, just one. So we were wearing sandals, too. And I'm, like, I don't want to fall. But it's going to stay at the net. We won. Okay. There you go. You're going to be good. We'll see. I bet you. It's just the hand-eye coordination I've got going. That's pretty much it. Oh, yeah. Tennis. Well, being, you know, you're a good tennis player, this is going to be easy. Yeah. I put my tennis shoes on. They came out of retirement. Oh, here we go. Are you ready? These tennis shoes are the same ones I had since my senior year of college. So they're lucky tennis shoes, right? I don't know. I just have never bought a new pair because I haven't done, like, anything crazy athletic since, like, college athletics. So I don't know. You know what's going to happen now. All the gear. Oh. Oh. I'm afraid it may be an addiction. It is. It'll be, like, because I think it's fun to have hobbies. And I feel like pickleball, at least for me, my husband, like, has become, like, a new hobby, you know? Oh, yeah. I think it's, like, important to have that as an adult. Oh, yeah. To have, like, little things that you like to do outside of work. And together. Yeah. And to de-stress, you know? Although, when we do play together, I mean to him. So, I mean... Well, you've got to be careful. You've got to be careful. You've got to be careful. You've got to be careful. I love it. I love it. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Sometimes, it isn't good to play on the same team. I know. But if he hits me when I play against him, I'm like, you better watch out, you know? Oh, yeah. It's coming. And he tries. But usually, he doesn't succeed. Have you hit him? No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Oh, I hit him. Have you hit him? Have you done a body block on him? Because I'm sure you're... Yeah, you're like, amen. You're there. Look at that. Yeah. It's a pickleball. It's not that bad. You'll be okay. You'll be okay. Oh, I hit people... Yeah, it's a pickleball. I did it in college tennis. In doubles, sometimes the first point, I would go as hard as I can down the line, not to hit them, but just to keep them on their toes. I'd be like, oh, I need to be ready. They're going to come after me. So it was kind of a thing I'd do for intimidation back in tennis. So I don't do it in pickleball, because I'm not as confident yet. You will. You will. But once we get there, we've got to keep them on their toes. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. That's really what it is. That's really what it is. Yeah, it's just fun. I don't know. I'm excited to have this court and just learn new strategies and start getting better, because it's just going to be so fun. Oh, I think you're going to get really well. I hope so. You guys, hopefully, you'll be like, I'm on the pro, is it pro pickleball tour? Yeah, PBA. Yeah, the PBA. Whatever it is. You'll be there. USA Pickleball puts a bunch of tournaments on. We'll be there too. Yeah, let's do it. I'll be there. I love it. We'll be there too. I better win. So, yeah. Or you'll be back at the court. Yeah, I'll be back practicing all night with my lights on until 4 a.m. Just kidding. You've got to come in for dinner. No. Pickleball is life, babe. It is an addicting sport. Yeah. I don't care. Well, it's fun. It is fun. And you meet great people, you know? Yeah. It brings people together, too. Oh, yeah. No, for sure. The pickleball courts are always full. Like, here in California, when I go, they're always full, and you have to put your paddle in and wait your turn. I'm like, dang. You have them all over here, too. Yeah. Every corner here. There's a pickleball court. And kids on it. It's great. Yeah. I think that's why tennis players are mad, because it's like the tennis courts are getting taken over. They are. Obviously, it's still a big sport, but pickleball is kind of taking over. And I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a D1 sport. It really is. It really is. It's heading there. Yeah. It's just crazy. Maybe I should just have my kids play pickleball. Because, look, it's honestly a lot easier than tennis. So, I mean, like, maybe. We got nine. We're sponsoring nine-year-olds and ten-year-olds that are five to six-point goals. What? That's really good. I had seen stuff on TikTok, and I was like, if I went to a tournament and lost a 12-year-old, I'd want to die. We just did a tournament. And these two little boys, what, 10 and 11? 9 and 11. Yeah. 9 and 11. And they went on. They had to play the men's. There was no kids. And they won the tournament and beat all these guys. Imagine going home and telling them, well, how'd you turn it? Well, uh. Oh, I lost to a 12-year-old. Yeah, I did. Damn. That would be humbling, for sure. It is. It is really humbling. That's why I'm like, let's make this a fun sport. I'm like, I'll make it competitive. Until you're competitive. Then you're like. It sort of becomes a job sometimes for me, because I'm so competitive and I hate losing. Oh, I can bet. I can see this. Yeah. I mean, when we're around, don't care if we lose, whatever. But it's like, if I was in a tournament. Oh, it's on. I bet it's on. It's on. It's on, baby. That's awesome. Yeah, baby. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. We sure appreciate you coming on. Yeah, thank you. We want to follow up with you, so we're going to follow up. Yeah. Let's do it. Maybe here in a few minutes, we're going to hit some balls with you. Yes, let's do it. We would love to. I can't wait. It'll be fun. Be nice to me, Kate. Yeah. Oh, I will. Don't worry. I'm coming out of my. Awesome. I love it. It'll be fun. Well, we thank you so much. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Nice to meet you. And like I said, we can't wait to play with you here in a few minutes. Yeah. Yes, let's do it. Definitely. All right. Let's do it. Thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Hi, guys. We're here with Lexi, and she's representing USA Pickleball. She's the videographer, and she's the one that's going to be interviewing Macy Neely. We're here with Mike right here beside me and Christana. We just adore you, Lexi. So tell us, how's your day going with this? It's been so amazing. It's been surreal being out here. I look up to Macy so much, just being a content creator and working in the social media field for sure. And it's awesome getting to mix that with USA Pickleball. I'm new to the pickleball world, but it's been super fun to learn. I wouldn't say I'm anywhere near a pro, but I would love to get better, and it's. You can't help it. Once you are in pickleball, you can't get out of pickleball. Yeah. And if you try, you're not going to be able to. But she is awesome. She's been here. We just put a court at her house, at Macy's house, and she's been one of our helpers. Thank goodness she was here. Lexi, yeah. Thank you. Oh, my gosh. Thank you so, so much. It's really hot out here, and we're all dying, but you just stepped right in. Yesterday, she was giving us water. She's helping us grab things, pull things. You're awesome. Well, I feel bad. I can't just be on the side filming and stuff. You were great. Yeah. And I'm going to be famous now because of her. Yes. I think I've gotten more film on myself than I've ever gotten in my life. She got your sexy moves over there that you always try to put out. I don't know what we call those, but they were something. Getting TikTok famous. Pickleball talk. Yes. We'll call it. I like it. I'm sure. I'm sure I can do the dance moves. I got some of those moves off the show. You had the sprinkler. Yeah. We still want you here, though. Q-tips. We don't want you to leave after you see those. Yeah. Q-tips. You can help coach me with pickleball, and I'll help show you the TikTok moves. I like it. I like it. Yeah. Exchange ideas. This is exciting. We're all the way from here, from Colorado. This is Utah, right? Salt Lake. This is Salt Lake. We're close. Yeah. We're in Utah. I get it mixed up. Close enough. We're by the Salt Lake. We're by the lake, which I heard it's dehydrating, right? Yes. It is dehydrating. Do you know that Salt Lake is ... I think it's actually ... What is it? It's not even hardly there anymore. Yeah. Is it really down? You need some hydration. Guys, I don't know. I heard a few years ago that Salt Lake was going to flood. I don't know. I'm not the person to ask. Maybe one of our sponsors dropped some Holy in it, and it hydrated. Right? It could be. Holy is one of our sponsors. Actually, we love them. They help with ... Yeah, they are good when you're playing pickleball. Yes, they do hydrate. In game and after game too. I've been teasing her, because she said that the lake's going down, and it's the Salt Lake. I said, well, it's probably dehydrating. There you go. There's our joke. Sorry. We were, da-da. You're really good there, Mike. I know. I'm sorry. I've been in the sun for two days. Yeah. I have fried my brain. You're losing it a little bit. I really am. Thank you. You acknowledge that. I am as well. I'm including it. Yeah. I'm telling you. I was telling her we just did a podcast with Macy, and I said, did I talk? Yes. Was I here? You did really good. Thank you. Thank you. Maybe I need to be in the sun more often. You've been doing this longer than me. Sorry. We get off on a rant. Oh, my gosh. Tell us, what are your goals? What do you plan on doing after this? What are you thinking? I love being with USA Pickleball. I'm excited to come and help for the Nationals in San Diego. Oh, yeah. I love California. I really love to travel, so any opportunity to travel and do social media, I'm right on board to take it. I'd love to just continue in that, continue in sports, especially pickleball. Yes. That's great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'd love to just continue in that, continue in sports, especially pickleball. Yes. You got it. Can't wait. Yeah. We're hoping to see you in Nationals. We're hoping to meet you there. Yeah. We're hoping we're going to go. Yeah. I'd love that. And then maybe get her to Colorado. Yeah. Colorado's great. We've been teasing her. You may end up being there. Oh. Once you go to Colorado, you'll be there. I know. I'm afraid to go because I'm afraid I'll have to- It's gorgeous. I'll have to move. Yeah. This is beautiful here, but we just have a different beautiful. I don't know how to explain it. Okay. Yeah. It's more red, beautiful, and there it's more natural beautiful. Yeah. Is that a good way of saying it? Yeah. Because you've been complaining about it the whole time. What was I complaining? No. I just- Oh, God. I really like Colorado. I just think it's just a pretty place. No. Just mountains, you know. She was just saying how the houses are really, actually, all the same color everywhere. Here. Really? There are only like three or four colors that they use everywhere. Yeah. Black and white. Yes. Or tan. Yeah. And they put them up very fast. There's- Yeah. It's crazy here. Wow. And the traffic. I'm like, we're in Utah and we got this traffic? Yeah. Crazy. The traffic's pretty bad. I try not to drive anywhere. Yeah. Yeah. After a rush hour. So. But I would love to get out in Colorado. I love Utah. I don't know if you guys feel the same, but I often forget that the mountains exist. And I'll go. I'm originally from Chicago, so I'll go back home and come back here. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, have these always been here? You just really get used to it. Well, and when you go to Colorado, everybody knows when you want to go west, you go to the mountains. Now, we have to go east here. So we're looking west, but there's no mountains. So it's really strange for us. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little weird. Like, pretty much, it's on the other side of these mountains. Pretty much. I love it. Which side they're like. Yeah. I know. Yeah. You guys see both sides. Yes. It's really beautiful, though. And people are nice, too. I mean, we get a lot of waves. Yeah. And she says, was somebody just waving at you? I said, yeah. I said, people are nice. Yeah. Yeah. The locals love Utah. They love people visiting, too. They do. It is. Yeah. Yeah. It is. Everybody's nice. We went to dinner last night at a place, and it was super nice. Everybody's been nice. Been really nice. Yeah. I do love Utah, too. It's very active. And pickleball is growing crazy out here, but also in skiing and just all the outdoor sports. I understand why Macy wanted this court, too, because she just loves to be outside. I think we're the second sunniest state, so people are just. It's warm, though. Yeah. Yesterday, I'm telling you, I know it was only like 85, but it felt like 230. No, it was hot. It was hot. But I'm on concrete, too. Yeah. No shade. Concrete, so. And then even the court is a little dark there, right there. Yeah. You know, so the heat. It was baking. But again, you helped us today, and thank you so much. Thank you. Of course. If you need a court put up, just call Lacey. She is. She'll be right here. I'm not Lacey. Lacey. Lacey. Look, the sun is baking my brain. Lexi. Just call Lexi. Lexi. Lacey. I'm mixing everybody's names. L-E-X-I. Yeah. L-E-X-I. I like it. I like it. I usually play in just the neighborhood courts. Okay. That's all I've really gotten to experience so far. Yeah. But I would love to join one of these Pickler memberships. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. You need to go try it. Yeah. Pickler is really awesome. When you go into a Pickler, you'll never go back to an outside court. Definitely. Yeah. We do a lot with Pickler, and they're gorgeous, gorgeous courts. Because they're outside courts, but inside. Inside. Correct. So they bounce the same. Yeah. Basically, they bounce the same if you play outside. Yeah. But they're beautiful. Wait till you see it. It's all black. You need to check it out. It's really nice. It's beautiful. I think the number one thing with post-grad, as I've learned, is because you're used to being in such a busy environment, and then you go to post-grad, and you're like, well, what do I do with my weekend? And I feel like the number one thing I've been trying to do is find new hobbies. So I've been getting Pilates memberships, and I'll just paint and stuff. So I think Pickleball is such a good membership, especially for people trying to find things to do post-grad. Well, and what's neat with them, too, is they do classes. So with your membership, you get classes, trainings, open plays. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and what's neat with them, too, is they do classes. So with your membership, you get classes, trainings, open plays. You'll love it. That's amazing. You'll meet so many great people, too. We meet so many great people there. Amazing. Well, thank you for being on our podcast. Thank you so much. Thank you for having us and helping us all weekend. I really appreciate you. Oh, my gosh. Of course. You were a dream. You are so awesome. You did so good. You do good on this, too. You guys are amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We're here with Mike Crisana, and we got good old Scott from Pickleball Management Group. How are you? He kind of tricked us. Yeah. Doing pretty well. It's been a long two days. It has been a long two days. I've been here and a lot of work. How come? It's been worth it. Yeah. Yeah. So what have you been doing? We've been installing a brand new rollout pickleball court. We have several different types of courts in our line. This happens to be an acrylic court, especially for outdoor use. It's heavy duty. It's beautiful. He got me here. He said, oh, you want to do a podcast, and we can help you a little bit. He tricked me. Yeah. I think you played great. You really played well. I couldn't have been more pleased. It was fun. I didn't see one dead spot. No. I didn't see any skidding at all. And thanks to Mike and Crisana for helping me install this. And Lexi, right? Yes. And Lexi, of course. Yes. This is great. This is a nice court. I mean, this is really nice. Heavy duty. It was fun playing on it. I mean, we taped it, but you don't need to tape it, because once it's down, you can't move it. No. It's not going anywhere. And the net, too. This net he has on here, this is pro-level net. Heavy duty net, and speaking of Lexi, just really want to thank USA Pickleball for making all of this possible. Yes. Thank you. It was really their dream. They brought us into it. Lexi came and documented everything and did a lot more manual labor than I think she was planning on doing. I think so. It really helped out. You're a tough cookie, Lexi. So thank you, USA Pickleball. Yes. Thank you. Thank you so much. Great partners, great people, and a great future ahead, and we look forward to being with them for a long time. And we had some fun playing here with Macy's house. Great playing with Macy. She's a player. You were awesome. Yeah. You don't want her double backhand. That's right. Stay away from that backhand. I gave her the boomstick, too, and she was booming it, so you guys were not— You guys were in trouble. Yeah. So, yeah. And I got to play with her course. We were perfect partners because we took it to 11-0. I don't know. I think I was probably her first perfect partner here. You did okay. I think I did good. You did okay. Yeah. I mean, considering I'm like a beginner here, right? Yeah. But thank you, Scott. This was awesome. If any of you who are watching are interested in a rollout court, we can basically put a court anywhere. This happens to be on brand-new concrete, which was nice. We can do it on asphalt. We can do it on wood. We also have a special decking product called Pickle Deck. We could actually put it on grass like this or turf, compacted dirt, sand. It's great for backyards. It's great for courts that are already cracked up. We can go right over the top of it, so if you're interested, please look us up, www.pickleballmanagement.com. Also, you can find out more by listening into one of the podcasts that we've got. Yes. Pickleballersnextdoor.com. I think it was like episode number 21 or something like that. He's back. Look me up. You'll find out a lot more details, and thank you, Mike and Christana, for making this happen and for inviting me to be on your podcast. You're welcome. I want to add one more thing to listeners. You can also, the colors, you can do any color that you like, and you can put any kind of logos and stuff that you want on it too. That's right. I think that's neat. This court, I love the color. Her background was tennis, so she likes that tennis background kind of color look. You can do pink, black. You can put your logos. You can put your name on it. You can have it personalized. Right. I think there's so much you can do with this court, and it really is, once you have the surface, it's not hard to put in. This was a little special because we had some confines and corners and so on to deal with, but you're right, Mike. I mean, you can do any colors, any logos. This one happens to have the USA Pickleball logo and our Roll Out Pickleball Court logo on it as well. Nice. One, I think, let's say, actually, we were talking to Macy, they're not going to be here for a few more years. They're going to leave. They're going to sell their house. They can roll this court up, and it goes right to the next house. Oh, I didn't know that. That's beautiful. Yeah. We had her on the podcast a few minutes ago, and she said they're going to sell, but what's neat with this, if you would have painted the court down, she gets to take this court with her, so this actually goes to her next house. That's great. I don't know. They may want to sell it, because it may be worth a lot more with this. With a pickleball court. Right? This house. It is. Right? It's beautiful. I love it. Well, thank you, Scott. Thank you. Again, it's always awesome. Thank you. We're so glad to be a part of you, and you're a part of helping us, too, so thank you. If you're ever in Denver, too, come by Mike and Christana's office. And Greg. It happens to be our showroom. Yep. And we've got a court there. We've got a net. And Greg, as well. Yep. Yeah. Shout out to Greg. Yeah. Thank you, Greg. Traveling somewhere around the world. Playing pickleball somewhere. It is. It always does, right? It does. All right, guys. Thank you so much. Thank you. Can't wait to ... We'll give you a follow-up date here. Probably we'll come back here in a few months. No. It's a road trip. Yep. Road trip. Are we there yet? Thanks again. Thank you.
