Zane's calling in from Match Point Pickleball in Columbus (winners of the Dink Award for best pickleball facility) after surviving a six-hour clinic, MLP, and accidentally yelling "Let's go 5s" for his old team. Classic.

We break down everything from MLP Columbus — New Jersey Fives sweep their way to 25 standings points, St. Louis Shock falters, and Zane comes THIS close to beating Anna Leigh Waters in mixed doubles. Plus: Grayson Goldin's jaw-dropping Dreambreaker win just months after suffering two strokes, the Genie Bouchard situation explained, Anna Bright goes viral on X, and the moment you've been waiting for — the MLP Vibes-Only Draft.
