n this week’s episode, podcast co-hosts Eric Fisher and Chris Russo interview Jesse Cole, owner of the Savannah Bananas. Fisher and Russo also discuss the still-turbulent world of sports streaming amid a new batch of third-quarter earnings reports, the strategic merger between Major League Pickleball and the Vibe Pickleball League, the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX that has led to a bankruptcy filing and dissolution of some sports sponsorships, the National Basketball Association’s move to heighten its strategic investment activity, and deepened chaos for prominent social media platform Twitter under new owner Elon Musk.

Rather than trotting to first base, the batter breaks into a sprint and doesn’t stop, rounding the bag at full speed. The catcher jumps up and throws to the shortstop, who tosses to the second baseman.

If you've browsed social media recently there's a decent chance you've seen a video of the Savannah Bananas. Everything from hitters doing the splits, to dancing grandmas, to flaming bats - nothing is off-limits.

Drive to historic Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Ga., and you'll immediately be struck by a sense of grandeur. After passing old brick buildings lining Savannah's downtown, you'll pull between the ancient Spanish moss-covered oak trees that surround the park. With the sounds of gloves popping and bats cracking, you could be forgiven if you thought you were having a beautiful dream.
