Petty Talk Podcast
Behind the Dugout: Softball Drama, Sponsors, and Keeping It Real. Ep 6
What’s good, y’all!
Welcome back to another episode of the Petty Talk Podcast! I’m joined by my brothers Jay Santos and Kelo Thomas for a raw, unfiltered convo that’s part therapy session, part locker room roast, and 100% Petty Talk energy.
We kick things off by setting the record straight—yes, we’re petty, we joke, we roast… but at the end of the day, this podcast is our way of blowing off steam, not throwing shade. It’s all love. Just… you know… the kind that comes with a little side-eye.
In this episode, we go deep into:
The real-life chaos behind running competitive softball teams
Our own fumbles (on and off the field)
That one wild DM story we probably shouldn’t be telling 👀
Sponsorship struggles, coaching headaches, and team dynamics that’ll test your patience
Why we might be beefing over shower routines and R&B playlists next…
And of course, we’re talking upcoming tournaments, what’s happening behind the merch scenes, and dropping some gems for anybody trying to juggle sports, life, and keeping it real.
If you play ball, lead a team, or just enjoy a little drama with your sports talk—you’re gonna feel this one. It’s raw, it’s hilarious, and we definitely don’t hold back.
Hit play, laugh with us, roast with us, and let’s keep it 100—just like always.
