Emergency pod time.

Doug breaks down:
- Why he said yes to Selkirk
- Whether Bread & Butter will keep its identity
- The future of Bread & Butter paddles and apparel
- What Selkirk actually wanted from the acquisition
- The realities of scaling a pickleball company
- Why more acquisitions could be coming
Plus:
- Doug joins shirtless from a hot tub
- Paddle nerd tournament leaks
- Malaysia pickleball talk
- Nico gets invited to Florida
- Zane talks pickleball drama and growing the game
