2nd Remote: Coach Philip dials in from Kauai, Coach Montgomery moans about singles players and describes a brilliant shot no-one saw while Coach Montgomery suffers first game with new player jitters.

On The Youtube we really are now more visual than ever with...

Our first remote recording and we think it went rather well. We will still be recording at KCAT TV, once a month, but this gives us the ability to be more frequent, more flexible and more responsive.

It was a new thing for us so we discuss doing new things later in life; moving to a new country and a new town for instance.

Coach Philip gets a new bike (with no training wheels), Coach Montgomery has a theory why we get mistaken for Ozzies and Coach Beri struggles with simple adding up.

...

YES, we have no bananas or indeed EP13 coz we are superstitious.

But, in this - our 14th episode - we discuss how to play with and against Archetypes; what they are, how to spot them and how to counteract each one.

We get the shakes about recent earthquakes and how we should prepare for "The Big One'.

Phil prepares for a future Voice Over career, specializing in cheese.

And there are a lot of visual tips in this episode so if you wanna see our ugly mugs AND see what...

YES, we have no ep13 (coz its bad luck).

We discuss the different personalities, techniques and archetypes in the game with holes balls. How to spot them, how to play with them and how to play against them.

The small matter of earthquakes is spoken of and what we need to know in preparation for "The Big One".

Chop, Top and Beri's un-orthodox paddle training.

After the incredible success of the last 2 episodes about how Pickleball can combat Dementia, Coach Philip returns after having to write letters to 80,000 Oasis fans.

Ironically, Coach Mark reveals his Mother's sudden challenge with Dementia back in the UK, while Beri worries about looking into Camera 1 during our very first 3 camera shoot for KCAT TV. Needless to say Coach Philip has no such qualms.

And if you wanna see our ugly mugs AND see what we are talking about (using actual paddles in the studio) then go to the Youtube https://youtu.be/IW8GUcNhSBE...

This week we have our very first 1 hour special recorded on 28th August 2025 in front of a (barely) live studio audience at SPS HQ - KCAT TV.

A spirited debate unfurled with many Pickled fingers in many Pickleball pies including making drills fun, serving properly with belly buttons, line judging and other not so Pickleball pies like hair extensions, past swimsuit modeling and Pickle triv.

We thank everyone who took the time to be in the audience and look forward to the next one.

For Your Eyes Only on the YouTube: @WHO DINKS...

The 3 Englander Coaches debate playing in or out; which might be better/easier & advantages for both. They pontificate about Tom Brady's stellar professionalism; how he is leading The Blues to the Premier League & how the good folk of this country are raised with the same winning mentality. Coach Philip bombshells with news of one eyed lens application & there is a modicum of bants about rule changes that might increase the funnage.

"Welcome ins" from the Coach that's qualified but doesn't coach, the Coach that coaches but isn't qualified and the qualified Coach who coaches all the time.

So, why do we Coach? Is it coz we are kind? Well yes. But, we also think it might be that we are creatives.

We discuss the peril of talking quickly at parties, 5 shot drops replacing 3rd, Coach Berisford's voice not being like Roger Moore nor Richard Burton, Coach Philip's percussion weapon of mass destruction and Coach Montgomery's unfair insults from DUPA.

Coach Philip talks about his pint-sized, hand-held warm up film (available on Insta), Coach Montgomery catalogues his long road back after a year out and Coach Berisford chats about losing much poundage through not having breakfast and getting on wrinkly old fruits...

Coaches Philip, Berisford & Montgomery finally get a colonial commoner to interrogate - Mr Chris Valego.

Chris tells us about his Superman roots and when he decided to lose all his tennis friends by switching to Pickle. He discusses the difficulties, the similarities and when he realized that Pickle was not “pattercake”.

We have, also, some dedicated mansplaining, stories of sadistic Nuns and inserting beetroot.

The SPS unit discuss good manners - on and off the court, kit (especially stupid hats), kids swearing at school, electrified squirrels and Google translate...

First time in new digs at KCAT TV studios in Los Gatos so you can see our ugly mugs on Xfinity Ch15 and YouTube.

In this episode Beri celebrates Los Gatos rowing club's outstanding success at the National Rowing Championships in Florida, Monty bemoans LAX and the cost of a flat white in LA while Philip recounts his encounter with a very untidy Tahoe bear.

We also talk a bit about the beautiful game, Soccerball, before discussing the 2nd most beautifullest game, Pickleball, about whether playing the same people aids improvement and we answer listener...

Number 2s with 3 English whose life is ever more defined by heavy dinking. We done a guest in the form of Beri relative Mr Jackson - who talks Elite rowing, Berkeley & 6000 calories a day.

Coping with "Nasty Nelsons", 'illegal' paddles (they're bouncy) & recent rule changes are discussed too.

Montgomery drools whistfully over great food back in London & Beri describes in too much detail a Rugby toilet jape which has left him scarred and explains a lot.

Any questions or if you simply want a court order brought out against you, try us on...

People of the future will look back on this very 1st ep with Montgomery, Philip and Berisford with fondness remembering 3 Englishman brought together by a love for Pickleball, which led to a serious dinking problem.

We had Beri's schoolboy briefcase catharsis, Philip's admission how he started Pickleball and Monty's harsh lesson in 'Merican sarcasm.

Plus a caller who complained of getting "smashed in the Kitchen".
