Petty Plays, Big Announcements: New Chapters in Softball and Business. Ep. 3
Welcome back to the Petty Talk Podcast, where real talk meets the raw, unfiltered world.
Today we aren’t just bringing the heat—they're torching the playbook.
From Kelo’s bold exit from One Nation Softball to the shady side of softball politics, nothing’s off-limits.
We dive headfirst into the drama, the “fake love” culture, and the unspoken truths behind brand hype, bat sales, and that carefully curated highlight reel lifestyle on social.
Inside This Episode:
Why Kelo walked away—and who’s still salty about it
The quiet loyalty struggles and loud egos behind team shake-ups
Social media clout vs. real respect in the game
Coaching chaos, sponsor expectations, and BP burnout
Wild tournament stories (yes, even that upside-down pineapple saga)
Rising talent on the women’s side—plus, some well-earned shoutouts
This episode’s for YOU. Raw. Real. Relatable. And just the right amount of reckless.
