Welcome back to Petty Talk Podcast—where the gloves come off and the real stories come out.

This week, Justin Dixon, Kelo Thomas, and Jay Santos dive headfirst into the world of elite softball with two special guests, plus a surprise that takes the conversation to a whole new level.

Straight from the heart of the game, the crew chops it up on:

Surviving and dominating in the scorching Texas heat

The mindset behind managing powerhouse rosters (and egos)

Roster classifications and the politics behind the scenes

What it really takes to build a championship culture

Strip club detours, wild road stories, and petty moments that never made the highlight reel

Tap in now and hear why Petty Talk isn’t just talk—it’s the realest conversation in softball.
