Welcome back to the real talk!

Today we chat about some crazy adult softball league stories—yes, there’s drama!

From players with big egos to crazy things said on the sidelines, nothing is off-limits.

We also talk about how hard it is to juggle work, life, and family while trying to build something great.

You’ll hear about funny field moments (like why you really need to wash your hands), team fights, and the one podcast moment that had everyone saying, “Wait—what did he just say?!”

If you love sports, real-life stories, and unfiltered fun, this episode is for you.

Hit play, laugh with the crew, and remember—sometimes being a little petty is the realest way to keep it honest.

Lock in. Stay ready. This is Petty Talk

Welcome back to the show — where sports, life, and real talk meet!

Today we sit down with special guest Anson.

He brings the fire straight from Jacksonville’s softball scene. After a brief mid-season break, the we jump back in with raw stories, wild tournament drama, and plenty of petty moments.

They cover everything from viral videos of on-field chaos to 2 a.m. debates over prize money and rec league politics.

Nothing is off-limits!

We explore what goes on behind the scenes—roster protests, questionable tournament choices, and softball’s hidden truths, especially in military softball.

Anson shares his journey. He went from serving overseas to finding success in the BSC circuit and conference teams.

He shares what it’s like being “the other” in a world where every play feels personal.

If you love competitive sports, bold takes, and stories that resonate, you’re in the right place.

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.
